From what I understand of British television, the show Celebrity Big Brother is a favorite piece of inelegant trash. Various C and D-list celebrities live together in the same house for a few weeks, and are filmed constantly, 24-7. Then the celebrities are voted off by? the public, I think? Tara Reid did the last season of Celebrity Big Brother, and she was one of the first voted off. That should tell you everything you need to know.
So, the rumor going around the British press today is that Lindsay Lohan may be joining the newest Celebrity Big Brother cast. Producers claim she?s ?close to signing on? but?? What about her probation? What about the judge?s order that she shouldn?t leave the country? Is this the kind of ?work? that the judge will allow?
Hollywood bad girl Lindsay Lohan is being lined up for a fate worse than jail? Celebrity Big Brother. The wild-child actress is �considering a megabucks deal to appear on the Channel 5 reality show ? if US courts allow her to leave the �country.
Lindsay, 25, sees further incarceration, this time in a house with a bunch of celebs, as the perfect way to relaunch her career after FIVE stints in prison. Producers have flown to LA to meet the Mean Girls star. And they?ve already started shooting background footage of her in preparation for the next show in January. But TV bosses are worried the deal could fall through because Lindsay still has a sentence to complete after her last brush with the law.
The former child model spent four-and-a-half hours behind bars last month for violating a probation order imposed in 2007 after she was jailed for two counts of drink- driving. But she also has more than a month of community service to complete, which involves cleaning a Californian morgue.
Celebrity Big Brother executives hope to persuade the courts to let the troubled star come to Britain, arguing that the show will help her get her life back on track.
A TV insider said: ?Lindsay would be an absolutely amazing signing for us. She?s a Hollywood A-lister and everyone knows about all the trouble she?s been in. She?s a fiery character too, so there are sure to be a some major clashes with other celebs if we get her in the house.?
The insider said Channel 5 chiefs were doing ?everything possible? to make it happen.
?We want this to be the best Big Brother ever,? said our source. ?So we hope that the courts will make a special allowance in this case. There aren?t many more controlled � environments than the Big Brother house.?

I?m going to go out on a crack limb here are say that even if the probation department, the judge and the entire state of California thought it was a good idea for LL to participate in this, she still wouldn?t. I will barely give LL credit for anything, but I think even The Cracken knows that this would be an unmitigated disaster, and that she should never EVER be filmed 24-7. Where could she do drugs? Where could she snort vodka? How would she get away with her crack lies and delusions when there was video evidence of what really happened? Well, the money would have to be really, really good for LL to even consider it.

At this point, it?s probably her ONLY offer (that doesn?t include beej?s and other sex acts).
BUT the judge told her she couldn?t leave the state, right? I mean, even if she could permission, it would be wrong to foist her off on England. Wouldn?t want to start another war or anything.

Did you get my email yesterday in response to yours?
No way in the SamRo Hell would Blohan give up drugs, not to mention, if BBUK is anything like the American version, the alcohol is dished out in miniscule amounts. Would there be any way to watch it here?
I?m guessing the producers wouldn?t pony up a million because she?d probably be voted off first, although if I was voting, I?d NEVER vote her out.

Even if she can leave the country, will the UK allow her entry? They?re kinda funny about that sort of thing.

If she could get her opiates there?MAYBE. It?s pretty much the worst show ever. I watched the last one, the Tara Reid (and David Hasselhoff?s ex-wife, and Jedward?dreadful). Unwatchable past a few minutes.
That said?I can hardly wait.

Oh, that?s one I?ll DEFINITELY be DVR?ing. I cannot wait to see this!

Thanks Soxfan, I just set the DVR. I?m assuming that since ?Ellen? is an NBC show, its filmed there, which means Blohan will be in Burbank, which is where I live, not 5 minutes from NBC. Thats a little too close for my comfort. I?ll be sure to not drive on the 15th.

Big Brother hasn?t had very good ratings since it move from Channel 4 to Channel 5, so I suppose it would benefit the producers immensely if Lilo joined. But as you say, how would she cope with being films 24/7? It would be terrible and she may have some sort of breakdown being in there and perhaps having to go cold turkey. It would make very good TV at least.

Why would she have to go cold turkey? To get them on the show they prob let these Z-list idiots have their ?prescription items?. They don?t get filmed in the toilet or shown taking a shower I think, so Cracken could stash it in the cistern and take a ?comfort break? whenever she wanted?
And they often supply them with alcohol as a ?reward? [read: if they aren't being interesting enough].

Hollywood A -lister !!!! does the British list backwards and start a Z ?
There?s not a chance in hell she will get permission..she had too many chances already ?and it would be the worst stupidiest thing she could do?cameras 24 hrs a day ! besides they would have to allow her shadows in to?Patrick and Eleanor?cause she don?t even go to the bathroom without them?..

And don?t forget Ali! She?d have to ?babysit? Blohan, par usual.

@hillbilly I was coming to comment on the same thing. A-lister? Ha ha ha. Only in her own mind and maybe Dina?s.
I really hope she does this show, it would be so freaking hilarious.

She?s been awfully quite lately. She must be recovering from her latest plastic surgery.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Wow?.@Jules?you may be right! I didn?t think/even consider that. But, you are most correct that she?s been ducking the radar the past few days, right?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I think she?s being ?radio silent? due to PB not wanting the over exposure that is Blohan.
But you definetly could be onto something with the plastic surgery theory. Of course, if your right, than MY theory that she?s not doing her CS is also correct.
All will be revealed Dec. 14th.

I NEVER watch reality TV but I would watch it at least to start. This would be too good to miss! But I doubt she will do it because she can?t finish anything.

I would love it if she did, but I agree that she won?t. She?s delusional but even Crackie knows it?s a bad idea.

Hi brin! Yeah, for someone who complains about the constant presence of the paps (because she has them on speed-dial) I don?t think she?d like a 24/7 camera crew monitoring her cracknanigans.
Too much evidence for the court, you know.

i love how media has used ?mean girls star? and ?troubled starlet? so often (since lilo hasn?t done anything else noteworthy) that they?re now referring to her as a ?former child model?.

It?s probably Ali that would go! I actually think it would be a horrible thing to see Linnocent exposed like that, she needs to resolve her issues in private

Hmm. So many thoughts on this. Sautner said LL couldn?t leave Cali w/o permission from the Probation Dept. and that she could not leave the country period. That said, as Shawn noted, LL does support her family so perhaps Sautner might relent as LL has OBVIOUSLY learned her lesson and is now sooooooo serious about getting her life on track.
With respect to the 24 hr monitoring interfering with her ?lifestyle,? don?t forget who we are dealing with here. Normal rules don?t apply to Lindsay?only to commoners. She is delusional enough to think she could drink and drug in the House. ?Move that camera, I?m Lindsay Lohan!!?

Wow,its been a long crackin time?hello everyone.
HannahF?to my knowledge crackie is allowed to leave the country, if she can prove it is for work (legitimate work) that is, not coke whoring. Sautner did say that.

I don?t believe this story. CBB has been saying for years Lindsay was going to be on the show and she hasn?t. Frankly I can?t believe that the court would let her out of the country. Besides I can?t imagine that Lindsay would allow herself to be taped 24/7.

she thinks appearing on this program will get her back into the good graces of hollywood? she?s nuts ? it does prove how she?ll do anything ? anything ? to get attention.

Unrelated note ? I?ve always loved how the British say ?drink-driving.? it sounds so much more elegant than ?drunk driving.?
Related note ? jersey shore and real world castmembers, and I?m sure loads of other reality characters, have been able to sneak drugs on set. There?s actually a fairly sordid history of all kinds of illegal doings that go on during these types of shows. I doubt filming would interfere with her ?sobriety? or lack thereof.

But in there runs the risk of all her crack shenanigans and delusions being overtly exposed?. and she dont want that?

there are supposed to be psychological assessments done on those going into the BB house after a number of *ahem* breakdowns
I can?t imagine this trick getting past anyone, she?s clearly unwell
the british public is starting to backlash against programmes that are equivalent to paying a penny to go and watch the lunatics at the asylum?
