For you trash TV addicts. I'm getting sick of hearing huge segments on the BBC World Service dedicated to this person who is famous for being famous.

She's famous for being on Channel 4's "Celebrity Big Brother". No kidding. It's not clear that she has any talent of any sort other than being odious:

Q: What is a phrase that completely describes Jade Goody?

Jade Goody

Sounds like a stage name for the adult entertainment industry.

Jade has admitted that she used to think horseradish came from horses. And she also did not know what asparagus was.

Spencer told Jade she's 'pretty thick' following a conversation about geography.

Drinking a glass of wine with Spencer to celebrate her 21st birthday, Jade said: "I thought Cambridge was in London. Where is it then? Is it in Kent? I knew it was in England but I thought it was in London."

When Spencer told her that Cambridge was in East Anglia, she said: "East Anglia - that's abroad!"

Adele told the housemates that she was missing her sister who was on holiday in Rio de Janeiro.

"Rio de Janeiro? In't that a person?" asked Jade.

"No, you mean Rio Ferdinand love," Adele explained.

Airline chiefs have now offered Jade free flights abroad to boost her appalling knowledge of geography.

Big Brother has told the housemates they would be provided with 'some form of stimulation' on 25th June.

PJ persuaded Jade to ask Big Brother for a game of Trivial Pursuit.

Jade said: "Woss Chiblial Pursuit? I don't know what you're talking about. Don't demand me, all right?"

Jade has also revealed the special relationship she has with her mum. She said: "I treat my mum as a mum and she treats me as a daughter."

Jade spoke to Kate about he romp with PJ: "Nothing happened but it could all be misconsumed."

Kate corrected her: "Don't you mean misconstrued?"

Complaining about her ever expanding girth, Jade said: "I was a skinny bird when I came in her but now my clothes are too thin for me."

Jade also said she thought peacocks had eyes in their feathers. She said: "You see those things, don't think I'm being daft, but them things that look like eyes, are they their real eyes?"

PJ and Alex realised she meant the 'eyes' in the birds' colourful feathers.

PJ said: "Jade, come on, I know you're a bit dizzy but..."

Alex was more blunt, saying: "How can a f***ing peacock have eyes in their f***ing feathers?"

Jade has also asked Jonny: "Do you play croquet on a horse?"

I figure that it'll be just a matter of time before she shows up on American TV...

Big Brother over the years has brought some really good telly but this one has really sunk to the depths - I quote the Reuters report :-

LONDON (Reuters) - The eviction of a reality TV show contestant accused of racism and bullying was cast on Saturday as a victory of good over bad, and took the sting out of the international furore over "Celebrity Big Brother".

The hit series dominated headlines in Britain and India this week after former dental nurse Jade Goody and other contestants ganged up on Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, calling
her "the Indian" and "Poppadom" and saying "She should f**k off home".
Britain's media watchdog received around 40,000 complaints from viewers, top politicians weighed into the row and a major sponsor of the programme withdrew its backing.

A contrite Goody, 25, denied she was a racist or a bully in her post-eviction interview late on Friday, when the extent of the controversy was revealed to her for the first time.

Contestants are sealed off from the outside world in a house where cameras follow their every move 24 hours a day.

OK so far........................

The big one has been the perceived vitriolic racism and bullying that has happened "live" on the programme. To put it bluntly

the contestant Jade and her friends have acted like complete slappers towards another contestant who is a moderately big Bollywood actress of Indian extraction. It's brought out the politicians and other media savvy commentators to try to persuade the resident Indian population that its not a big hit against their culture. To their credit, the tabloids appear to have got this one right and have laid into Ms Goody and the TV company involved - Channel 4.

This one is going to rumble on for a little while longer me thinks

...And you've hit on the nub of the matter. The series is no more "live" than reruns of Coronation Street. The producers carefully selected the material during the editing sessions, calculated to make the biggest splash.

The thing has gotten way out of hand. When I heard that Gordon Brown was in India apologizing for Goody's behavior, I just about lost it completely.

But then, I forget that Brown is in line to be Tony Blair II. I also note that the Wikipedia entry has him dying a year ago. That might explain things.
