I'm Not A Celebrity But...
As the autumn TV schedules are announced, the astonished and indifferent British public declare in unison, "Celebrity? Never heard of him/her!" or "I thought he/she was dead!"
Admittedley I have heard of Christine Bleakley, after her appearance on the Michael Stipe Show this week. Plus of few of her fellow Strictly Come Dancing contestants Heather Small & Phil Daniels. But Gillian Taylforth, Jessie Wallace & Gary Rhodes. Don't give up your day jobs, if you have one.
Over on ITV, they have finally scraped their way down to the bottom of the barrel with CelebAir.

Warning: do not view these contestants on a full stomach. Dark glasses are also advisable. Who, or what, the flying f*ck is Amy Lame??
It's about time The Word got in on the act and produced an issue where the subjects are written, photographed, interviewed and schmoozed by so-called celebrities. OK it will probably be cack but that's the times we are in now. Either that or let the Massive take over the Word office for a day.
People Power!!

Amy Lame
Is amongst other things Danny Bakers Sidekick on his radio London show.
She is a mover and Shaker on the Cabaret circuit, specialising in running lesbian and gay nights/ clubs.
a reasonably funny lady!
I agree
Amy is the only name I recognise and the only one I would pay good money to see
Too Right
Amy Lame and Mica Paris are the only ones i've even heard of.
Amy is excellent with Danny Baker .
It's always like this though.
This time last year, I had no idea who Alesha Dixon, Matt Di Angelo, Gethin Jones, Kenny Logan, Penny Lancaster or Brian Capron were. The year before, I couldn’t have told you who Louisa Lytton was. Within a couple of weeks, I knew all of them and had opinions about all of them and whether I wanted to see them doing particular dances or not.
I don’t think CelebAir will be brightening our telly screen. Not while I’m in the room anyway...
According to "Celebrity" Masterchef...
Vicky Michell is a "legendary, internationally known comic actress"...after a bit of checking on the internet I discovered she was once in "Allo Allo".
I dared myself to look at your link - all the blokes look alike, one girl is actually described as a "page 3 stunner" and since when did being married to a member of Steps qualify you for being a celebrity...!?
Jesus, this country is going downhill fast!
I work for ITV
I am going to have to sabotage from within...
Can you..
get them to come over to Sky?!! I've missed a few programmes that looked good, and I can't sky+ them 'cos they're on the 'other channels' option!

humphrey - you're based down Cork way, aincha; not gonna happen. The Brother, who is versed in these kind of things, tells me that as long as we have TV3 foisted upon us with it's ITV-lite schedule, it doesn't make sense for UTV etc to pay to be on Sky EPG in the Republic.
Apologies to the rest of you for going off on a tangent!
Thanks for...
going off on the tangent and clearing it up for me Ivan! Yes, I am in Cork! TV3, damn them!
What are you meant to say?
A lot of people watch this kind of thing, obviously. Personally it makes me feel very low. People died in 2 world wars to let us do this to ourselves.
Possibly a little over-reaction there, though I did click on the link and was even more disappointed to find the celebrity profiles drafted up in the most ham-fisted way. What's a 'compeer' singer? Apparently Mica Paris has worked with legendary guitarist Dave Gilmore. That'll piss Dave Gilmour off.
Is this all there is out there as mass entertainment nowadays. Instead of moaning why don't we come up with some concepts of our own for prime time family telly? I'll leave that one with you lot... Me? Er.. Bit of shrapnel. Korean War... Strange really, wasn't even born...
I work in the TV industry...
Is it any wonder I want to die?
Enough already with the recycled Z-list on 'reality' shows. All they do is go from one to the other. It's sick.
I recognise Amy Lame...
... but where does Kevin Pietersen find the time to pose for that photo above?
I don't mean to sound harsh...
but Lisa Scott-Lee looks like she's auditioning for the role of Vito Corleone in a remake of 'The Godfather'...
methinks she has seen the sharp end of the surgeon's knife recently...
