“Big Brother (CBS, Feb. 12): Because the writers’ strike rages on, the Eye net has prepared a winter edition of this summer reality staple. Rumor has it that this ninth edition may run just six weeks, instead of the usual three months. Casting is currently under way!”

“BB9 finalists….
Thanks, once again, to everyone who auditioned for BB9! We had a fantastic turn out and the decisions were tough.
This is to inform you that all BB9 finalists have been contacted already. If you did not receive a call remember…. just because you’re not right for the mix this season doesn’t mean you won’t be right for the next season. Don’t give up! Thanks for your support of the show!

ARKANSAS — Word is Tony Westbrook of Benton will be among the housemates of the next season of CBS’s reality show, Big Brother.
The new season – the show’s first winter one – is to begin Tuesday, Feb. 12.
Westbrook will be one of 14 people who move into the house (on a Hollywood film stage) and attempt to avoid eviction for the next 80 days.
The goal? To make it to the final two, where the winner receives $500,000 and the runner up lands $50,000.
Back home in Arkansas, Westbrook, who is 33 and a Harmony Grove high school graduate (class of ‘92) works as a paraprofessional at Birchtree Community assisted-living facility.
Look for the prime-time show to air Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

“Ok, now we’re starting to think the Dolce Group just wants a lot of free, cheap publicity. First, Mike Malin “celebrates” a Red Sox win in Denver. Then we see Lonnie Moore hawking himself on Millionaire Matchmaker, unfortunately one day before he’s slapped with a nasty lawsuit from a girl who doesn’t use the Millionaire Matchmaker. Today, we get this: “Rumor has it that Mike “Boogie” Malin (partner of the dolce group and winner of big brother 7) fell thru the skylight last Friday night at Les Deux and was rushed to the hospital.” There was something about hanging out with Jennifer Capriati (the tennis player) after a Van Halen concert in the VIP room at Les Deux, which has access to the roof. According to Dolce PR (who’s had quite the workout this week, to say the least), Malin decided he had to adjust some Christmas decorations on the roof, misstepped and slipped through the skylight that overlooks the nightclub. (Kids: Cocktails and Christmas decorations don’t mix.) Capriati pulled him out, he’s fine, but a little sore. This sounds like a typical move for anyone nicknamed “Boogie,” but the timing just couldn’t be more, um, ridiculous.”

“TV Shows and rumors of TV shows… and a correction on a few auctions
Let me get the pain in the ass stuff out of the way first.
For the auctions. I was just informed (sorry, I am not an ebay kinda guy) that the search on ebay is for the title line only!
So, putting my name in is only bringing up about half of that shit. So do the advanced search and put my name in the spot for “Sellers” you are searching. And you will see it all then. Good luck.
And now to the fun shit…
I am not confirming anything just yet, but my guess is that you will be able to turn on the tube and get to listen to my bullshit once again. And if it doesn’t pan out, I am gonna look like a complete jackass for saying this here. But, I don’t give a fuck, I have looked like a jackass the majority of my life and still don’t care, so there ya have it.
If it gets inked, then I will give you details. And there is more than one, but that in itself is too much.
I took a vacation from my computer this weekend, shit… what a clusterfuck.
Thanks for all the support and great letters. And I am sorry I don’t have a chance to reply to them all, but like I said… there is just so much of it, I just can’t…. but know that I really do appreciate it.
Thanks kids, don’t fight with your sister…
Talk soon and I will be doing that chat tonight at 7pm. And give the east coasters a chance to join us tonight.
EvelDick”

“DANVILLE, December 17: Joy Tashjian Marketing Group (JTMG) has launched a comprehensive new licensing program for the ninth season of the hit CBS reality series Big Brother.
JTMG is the exclusive licensing and merchandising agency for Endemol USA and its Big Brother series. The agency is gearing up for a variety of games, including board games, card games, computer and video games. JTMG will also roll out a “best of” book series, as well as apparel, stationery, paper products and an extensive array of fan-based merchandise.
The ninth season of Big Brother will premiere on February 12, 2008, in its regular 9 p.m. timeslot, with The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen to reprise her hosting duties. Big Brother follows 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 vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest receives the grand prize of $500,000. The series is executive-produced by Oscar- and Emmy- Award winner Arnold Shapiro, Emmy Award-winner Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, in association with Endemol USA.
“We are delighted to continue our successful collaboration with Joy Tashjian and JTMG as we return Big Brother to CBS for its eagerly-anticipated ninth season,” said Tina Hoover, the director of production for Endemol USA.
Added Tashjian, the president of JTMG: “Big Brother represents big business opportunities for licensees and retailers alike. We are excited to bring the message of this perennially popular reality series to leading licensees across our targeted categories.”
