 I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star David Gest has landed his own TV show. The fly-on-the-wall ITV1 series will follow him as he goes about his day-to-day life. It will be a behind-the-scenes peek into the weird world of the music producer who counts Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston among his close friends. And it will give viewers the chance to find out if his fabled housemaid Vaginica really does exist. “This is just the kind of show I wanted to do. It’s going to be an absolute blast. “I really can’t wait for everyone to meet Vaginica,” said Gest, 53. The David Gest Show will be made by the same team behind I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! The former husband of Liza Minnelli did not win the reality series but emerged as its biggest star.

Film director Ken Russell has walked out of the Celebrity Big Brother house. The 79-year-old quit after a row with fellow housemate Jade Goody, the show’s bosses said. He is the second celebrity to leave the house, following the departure of rocker Donny Tourette on Friday. The film director had threatened to quit on Sunday morning after a run-in with Jade’s mum. A disagreement with Jade herself was the final straw. He made up with her after a few minutes, but then headed to the diary room to inform Big Brother he wanted to leave. He said: "There was a great deal to enjoy in the house and I’m sincere about that. I knew there’d be a few surprises but not of the kind I experienced. I am a big old fuddy duddy and some of the surprises were a little too much to take for someone of my sensibility."
At this rate will they have any one left on the show?

CBB’s Donny Tourette leaves the Big Brother building |

 Life as a servant just wasn’t rock and roll enough for Donny. The wild man decided to scale the wall and leave the Celebrity Big Brother House. Donny will not be returning to the House. At 11.28pm, the punk rocker discreetly snuck into the Servants’ garden for a nose around, followed by a curious Ian. Having sized up his options, the wild man decided to make a bid for freedom rather than explore a humble new life as a Goody lackey. So with a helping hand from his buddy Ian, Donny scaled the fence asking Ian to pass on his goodbyes to the rest of the group before dropping over the other side and out of sight. A stunned Ian was soon joined by his fellow Servants as they filtered outside into the garden. The former Steps star adopted a squeaky voice excitedly describing the wild man’s spontaneous break for freedom: "Donny’s just legged it over the fence! He said he’s not waiting on Jade! He’s gone!" "It’s a wind up" said Jo, as Danielle agreed, adding that he’s "hiding somewhere". Ian tried to fend off Leo’s accusations about giving the escapee a helping hand by maintaining that he thought Donny was only going to have a look around. But shortly before midnight, the servants had his permanent departure confirmed. Cleo was given an official statement from Big Brother to read out. The rock and roll star had left the building.. he’s not up for servitude… Was Donny right would his rock credability have remained intact after waiting on the Goody family, it starting to go pear shaped with the arrival of the Goody clan.

 The BBC has announced its follow-up to How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? – the TV search for a lead for Joseph And His Amazing Techicolor Dreamcoat. The new show follows Connie Fisher’s success in The Sound Of Music, after she was plucked from obscurity to play the role of Maria. Graham Norton will host the BBC One search for a new Joseph for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stage production. Lord Lloyd-Webber, a panel of experts and viewers will also look for a girl to play the narrator figure and a Pharoah/Elvis in the TV show. The TV search is entitled Any Dream Will Do, after one of the famous musical numbers in the production. BBC One Controller Peter Fincham said: "Any Dream Will Do is the perfect follow-up to the success of How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? "Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a classic musical known to generations of schoolchildren and I cannot wait for the reunion of 2006’s most unlikely but successful partnership – Graham Norton and Andrew Lloyd Webber. "I think this show will have huge appeal for the BBC One audience." Lord Lloyd-Webber said: "The success of How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? this summer was a real boost for musical theatre in Britain and I was particularly thrilled with the reaction from schoolchildren up and down the country. I cannot wait to get them involved in Any Dream Will Do and to get back into the studio with Graham. "Joseph started in schools and I am looking for a great school choir – to play in the West End, we need a smashing girl, a great boy and of course a Pharoah/Elvis." Auditions for contestants will take place across the UK early next year before the show is broadcast in the summer.

This is one of my favorite Broadway musicals, so I wish I could see this show. Hopefully they will have guest appearances from past Josephs like Michael Damian and Donny Osmond!!!

 I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ star David Gest has rubbished rumours he is gay. Gest, the ex-husband of Liza Minelli, told jungle mate Scott Henshall he would not be ashamed to admit if he was gay, but insisted he had never had sex with a man. He said: "They said was I straight, was I gay? "I always said, bring me one guy I’ve been with – I’d love to meet him because if I was into it, I’d be proud of it." Openly gay fashion designer Scott had to drink a witchetty grub smoothie and taste a kangaroo tongue yesterday (22.11.06) in the latest Bushtucker Trial. The 31-year-old refused to eat locusts, a kangaroo penis, kangaroo anus and spat out the kangaroo tongue, but did manage to swallow the vile tasting drink, eat a silk worm and munch a disgusting cheese fruit to win three stars for the boys’ team.
