Reid gets big break

Cage fighter Alex to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house

BREAK - Alex Reid

21/11/2009

ALEX Reid is set to appear in Celebrity Big Brother in January. He is about to finalise an agreement with show bosses, believed to be worth around £100,000, to star in the reality programme.

Last night a friend explained: "They're desperate to sign him up. It's perfect for him because people will get to see the real person.

"Alex has got a bad reputation but he's actually charming and funny. We're convinced that if he does it he'd make it to the final."

However, there are doubts about whether lover Katie Price would approve.

Our insider explained: "She's already wary about Alex doing the celebrity circuit. She thinks people use him because he's with her."

The January series of Celeb BB will be the last. Boy George is also in negotiations to appear.

THE tv reality is for me the worse acting show

Every time i saw a reality show

i found the persons like acting in here real life
but the act is not good at all

exemple keepit with the kardashian

it s impossible to have all the subjects touched in the real life.

kris is producer as well as she in her own show
that s mean she weasper the subjet to her kids and husband and they act like it s real

for me it s like a bad actor wanted to have the fame of actors and they succeed without having acting talent
it s for me so fake and cheap quality intertainement

I think katy price because of having the reality tv she think and her mum think and they go to auditions and they wispear that they can act really
KATY PRICE CANNOT ACT CAUSE SHE WANTS THE SHOW THE TRUTH ALL THE TRUTH TO THE PUBLIC
it s incredible, like chris jENNER wisper to heR daughter khloe that she can be an actrice but we saw in the acting lessons kHLOE was completly bad comparing to other actors in there acting class

the reality TV is FOR ME ; THE WORSE ACTORS WANTING TO BE ACTORS WITHOUT TALENT JUST BECAUSE WE SAW THEM IN PRIME ON TV

YES I WANT TO SEE THE REAL AND TALENTED ACTORS ENTERTAINING US
