If you’re having problems viewing these videos, I’d highly recommend that you download and use VLC as it plays EVERY video regardless of codec.

And he said he looked dorky on that Milwaukee Magazine cover… is he a spring vegetable? Anyone notice that it says Spring Vegetables and yet they’re eating spaghetti and meatballs? LOL!

Regardless, yay to James for getting paid to be pretty!

I wasn’t sure if Amy wanted me to post all the pics she sent me of her wedding, so I’ve held off… but regardless, Amy is married!

Some additions, of course, but I also added a little legend for if people have been rumoured to have been contacted by BB producers. If I missed someone, please e-mail me and let me know. Thanks

We know the HGs have been contacted who are most likely to be on BB:AS. Is this a giveaway?

www.milwaukeemagazine.com

I haven’t seen it yet, but they were kind enough to send me the cover image. Apparently some more pics made it throughout the magazine.

More importantly, take note of what a nice, honest, trustworthy guy I look like… (just in case BB AllStars happens for me)”

HOST JULIE CHEN WILL ANNOUNCE THE 12 HOUSEGUESTS MOMENTS BEFORE THEY ENTER THE HOUSE ON THE SEASON PREMIERE, THURSDAY, JULY 6 AT 8:00 PM
provided by RealityBBQ.com
Viewers will be reunited with some of the most memorable, entertaining and controversial Houseguests from previous installments of Big Brother when the 20 candidates vying to compete in the all-stars edition are unveiled during BIG BROTHER ALL-STARS: AMERICA’S CHOICE. The special primetime casting episode, which kicks off the season, will be broadcast on Wednesday, June 21 at 8:00 PM on the CBS Television Network.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
For the first time in BIG BROTHER history worldwide, viewers will have the opportunity to vote which former Houseguests should compete this season with American television viewers choosing half of the houseguests who will ultimately enter the BIG BROTHER house.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
A few hours after the casting episode is broadcast (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), viewers can cast their votes online at CBS.com. The polls will close on Wednesday, June 28 at 11:59 PM ET/8:59 PM PT.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
Each potential “All Star” introduced on the casting episode will have their own profile on CBS.com, which will include “Why you should vote for me” text and video, as well as clips from their past appearance on BIG BROTHER.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
Additionally, throughout the voting process, candidates will be able to campaign for themselves and will be encouraged to use any reasonable means they can to state their case to America as to why they should be voted into the BIG BROTHER 7: ALL-STARS house.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
During the premiere of BIG BROTHER 7: ALL-STARS, all 20 finalists will be present and awaiting the news of who will play the game. Host Julie Chen will announce the lucky 12, who will immediately enter the house.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
BIG BROTHER 7: ALL-STARS will follow the relationships and conflicts of players who live together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest will receive the grand prize of $500,000. While living together in a confined space won’t be anything new to the houseguests, choosing between any pre-existing relationships and building new alliances could be a challenge.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
BIG BROTHER 7: ALL-STARS is Executive Produced by Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Arnold Shapiro, Emmy Award winner Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, in association with Endemol U.S.A.

“CBS is shaking up the casting process for the upcoming all-star edition of summer reality staple “Big Brother.”
provided by RealityBBQ.com
Producers have informed 20 former players they’ve been selected as finalists for the all-star edition. But in something of a cruel twist — and a first for a network reality show — they won’t know whether they’ve made it back into the “Big Brother” house until the show’s live season premiere July 6.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
What’s more, would-be “all-stars” will have to campaign to get into the house, since half of this year’s cast will be selected by viewers.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
(CBS) has decided to start the process with a first-time “Big Brother” casting episode that will air Wednesday, June 21, at 8 p.m. (The show) will feature interviews with the finalists, giving them a chance to make their case to fans.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
In an “American Idol”-like twist, (fans) then get to choose their favorites via online voting slated to last a week. Players will lobby via the Net and through media appearances, some of which will be set up by CBS publicity as the net begins tubthumping for the official season premiere.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
The top three male and female players will be guaranteed a place in the house. Remaining six slots will be filled by producers.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
All 20 all-star wannabes will gather outside the “Big Brother” house on July 6. Twelve will be told they’ve been selected to play the game, while eight will be sent home — all on live TV. (Spamgirl note: live TV just means that it was taped live, not that it’s happening on July 6th)
provided by RealityBBQ.com
“They’ll be all packed and ready to go,” said “Big Brother” exec producer Allison Grodner, who predicts the (premiere) show will contain some high drama as rejected finalists realize they’re out of the competition.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
Contrary to Internet buzz, players from all six past seasons of “Big Brother” will be eligible for the all-star edition. Grodner and Arnold Shapiro didn’t sign on as exec producers of the Endemol USA (series) until season two, radically revamping the show when they arrived.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
Producers opted not to cede casting of the entire show to viewers in order to ensure what Grodner calls “the right balance” of contestants. Translation: Nobody wants a house filled with just “nice” players.
provided by RealityBBQ.com
“We’re looking for a showdown,” she said. “You’ve got your ‘Big Brother’ heroes and villains, and that’s what’s going to make for the best drama.”
provided by RealityBBQ.com
Clash of good vs. evil will be reflected throughout “Big Brother All-Stars,” down to the interior design of the house, which will have elements that pay homage to past seasons’ players and highlights.” (Spamgirl note: good house vs evil house?)

“Last night, I was at the club eleven50 in Atlanta and I saw Nicole from BB2 with her husband. My friend and I were really shocked to see her and he went up to talk to her and got some news.

1.) She is not on BB All Stars. She was asked and declined because, “Jeff would divorce me!”

2.) She will fly out there to appear in a challenge in which old housemates will participate.

3.) She said the game and the emotional drain are worse than one could imagine.”
