HIGH HAIR IN CONTAINER: JEDWARD TWINS IN THE BRITISH BIG BROTHER HOUSE

Channel 5 laid out 1 million pounds sterling for the lunatic population jump in the most well-known room-sharing community in the world. The two Irishmen John and Edward Grimes, who accumulated German fans during their participation in the “Eurovision Song Contest” only announced to their manager on the very day of moving in that they were packing their bags. “It’s a big step. They’re getting a lot of money for it and everybody loves them.”

With Jedward in the House things won’t get boring, because as soon as they see a camera they start aping and feel right at home. Big Brother has hundreds of cameras hidden behind the walls of the container. Other candidates on broadcaster’s wish list are the fired Charlie Sheen (“Two and a half Men”), ex-Miss Wales Imogen Thomas (who already spent time in the Big Brother container) and Mohamed Al-Fayed, the former owner of the noble department store Harrods and father of Dodi Al-Fayed, who died in the car accident 1997 together with Lady Di in Paris.

While Jedward can be seen in the eighth season of the celebrity container show, they’ll also be in Germany in the fall; the two 19-year-olds will appear live for their German audience and play five engagements for their fans.

From seemingly countless foregoing Big Brother seasons we know that the tone is oftentimes harsh behind the container doors and some lose their masks, if not more… It will be interesting for the viewers to see whether the shooting stars Jedward can keep face. Or have they already got enough for their celebrity pension fund and see it like Neil Young or Curt Cobain: “It’s better to burn out than to fade away”?
