Anyone watching this? Some of the notable celebs that Americans should know include Heidi Fleiss, Stephen Baldwin, Sisqo, Stephanie Beachman, Vinnie Jones and Ivana Trump. Yes Ivana Trump is in this. I was shocked and wondered why she would do this especially since she doesnt need the money. She's been great though. The other day the celebs were talking about techniques to avoid people approaching them in public. Stephanie said that if you carry a horrible purse, people will tend to focus on that and not on your face. Ivana goes "Thats a good technique, but over my dead body would I be caught holding a bad purse." LMAO!

I'm loving it. It's a taste of home while I'm in dreary England!

Some thoughts...

Heidi Fleiss looks CRACKED OUT the entire time. I know she's sober because she's under lock and cameras in the house, but it's like she's tweaking all the time. Her face looks so rough, she looks wrecked all the time. I've always had a little bit of admiration for Heidi because of her defiance and street smarts, but time has not been kind and she is showing the ravages of her lifestyle.

Stephen Baldwin...Jesus Freak. Enough said.

Sisqo is actually quite polite and a lot quieter than I expected him to be. All in all, a somewhat decent guy.

Stephanie Beacham THINKS she's Joan Collins. But she ain't. Stephanie Beacham is to Joan Collins what Pepsi is to Coca Cola. Close, but not a classic. She seems quite intelligent though, very demanding and a bit humorless.

Ivana Trump is my favorite. She is so much fun and has a great attitude with everyone. Not a diva or a bitch at all. Definitely 'The Donald's smartest wife. Ivana is confident and takes an interest in everybody. At first I thought "what is she thinking?!" but she's coming off REALLY well in this show.

I can't stand Stephen Baldwin. I find him pathetic and offensive, endless grandstanding and prejudice, and I don't watch anything he's involved in. I have tried to follow some of this, but reading about his comments (basically saying if his daughter is held at gunpoint and told to say she does not believe in God, he hopes she won't say it, because he will see her in Heaven someday anyway) doesn't help.

DaytimeFan! Hush! Comparing La Beacham with La Collins is like comparing apples and pears! Yes, I like Sable Colby but you are right -- if Joan was in there, she would be making this Must-See TV. I actually like the little friendship Stephanie has going on with Vinnie Jones. She is a fearful snob, though.

ITA about Heidi Fleiss who, I think, is undergoing major withdrawl symptoms and that's why she wants to get the hell out of the house and back to Nevada. I liked her at first as she came across as ballsy but now... I don't know.

It was painful/compelling watching the Swedish guy get his heart trampled on in public by the Russian girl in, like, the quickest romance in history. I'm not sure that is going to win her public support -- especially as she is already considered a homewrecker for breaking up Ronnie Wood's marriage.

Ivana is a breakout star. Not quite Jackie Stallone yet but she could get there.

Stephen Baldwin's eyes are disappearing into the dough of his face, and that kind of freaks me out.

Im glad Im not the only one who cant stand Stephen. When asked what stuff he's done, he really didnt have much to offer and went back to his role in The Usual Suspects. He is such a hasbeen and is a bigger celebrity in his head than he actually is. His religious preaching is annoying. I love how Heidi cant stand him.

LOL...at Davina kinda getting offended that Baldwin didnt know whow Stephanie Beachman was. I was offended to!

The former Dynasty actress, 62, will be using her £100,000 appearance fee to help her daughter Phoebe to deal with the fall out from a cocaine addiction. Phoebe, 35, has revealed that her TV star mother rescued her from a crippling drug habit and has paid for her to get help to beat the addiction for good.

She told the Sunday Mirror: 'I owe her everything. My mother saved my life. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here today. I owe her so much. I was a total wild child, but mum has always been there.

'She has spent literally thousands of pounds of her hard-earned money getting me out of all kinds of scrapes.'

Phoebe said she began smoking marijuana aged 18 before developing an addiction to cocaine.

Last year she slashed her wrists after going off the rails following the Glastonbury Festival, where she claims her drink was spiked with Ketamine.

Beacham, 62, paid for private counselling sessions which led to her being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

'I've been totally clean for a year and now the doctors have discovered the right medication, it has totally changed my life. I feel so well,' Phoebe said.

Cat, we see everything the same way. I just find Stephanie Beacham funny in how she has brings up Joan SO MANY TIMES. Joan is Stephanie's conversational meal ticket. That said, if I worked with Joan Collins, she'd be my conversational meal ticket too. I did find Stephanie's comments on that Kat girl (what a bitch btw) very witty: She's a taker, she's a beautiful orchid, she has no roots and grows on everything else...WELL PLAYED Miss Beacham! Stephanie is a fearful snob, much more than Joan would be, I've met Joan and she's MUCH breezier and light hearted than Stephanie seems to be.

I've read that Heidi's brother died a few days before she went into the CBB house. So maybe that's why she's such a wreck. I don't really know, she looks awful. It's a shame she's living in Nevada. Heidi should be back in Beverly Hills, wearing her ill fitting Norma Camalli wrap dresses, grinning her aligator grin and having lunch at the Ivy. I'd give her a full makeover for free, she looks really rough. As an aside, did you notice how she is a HUGE Dynasty fan? She knew all about Moldavia (she said it correctly) and about the finale and everything. She's not all bad.

Stephen's eyes and his dough face...Frightening. He's so gross with his preaching. Put it away Baldwin. Very irritating.

Ivana is totally the breakout star. There is something so common sense and so likeable about her. Her chats with Alex, her chats with the girls, her chats with Stephanie. Her working out HARD. Her "When I'm in the US I fly wiz Donald, I fly to the Palm Beach wiz Donald, why spend one hundred sousand dollahs on a lear jet ven I could buy anoza condominium?" just explains it all. LOVE her.

I loved SB's Sable Colby. It was a much more nuanced performance than simply being Alexis 2.0. I wish a TV soap (Daytime or Primetime) would snap her up. I love those diva queens! Maybe some networks did and Beacham held off because of the drug troubles her daughter was going through? BTW, I thought SB's analogy as Katia as a parasitic orchid was spot-on (even though I hope Katia won't be kicked off first -- she is somewhat intriguing to watch. LOL, those enigmatic Russians).

Ivana, meanwhile, needs her own talkshow. Seriously. Some of the people in the house are a bit bitchy about her, but I could listen to her talk for hours! Wonder what Ivanka zinks about all dis? LOL, I quite admire Ivanka, too.

Heidi as a Dynasty fan? I can believe it! As for her face, I'm wondering whether it is due to some bad cosmetic procedures and drug abuse back in the day. She has always been underweight, too -- Vinnie talked about how he makes sure she has had something to eat. She seems a haunted, defensive creature. Maybe that's why some of the housemates do appear protective of her.

Sad to see Heidi go. When she was alert she was fabulous.

Lady Sovereign and Stephen Baldwin are two peas in a very annoying pod. UGH!

Ivana continues her streak of fabulosity.

Stephanie Beacham THINKS she's Joan Collins. But she ain't. Stephanie Beacham is to Joan Collins what Pepsi is to Coca Cola. Close, but not a classic. She seems quite intelligent though, very demanding and a bit humorless.

Please. Joan wishes she was as fabulous as La Beacham. When Sable finally joined the cast of Dynasty for it's fabulous final season, she mopped the floor with Collins and her dreadful wigs. Better actress, better character.

This season I'm kinda disappointed, especially since it's the last. Thing about it, last years cast seemed much more successful...

Mutya - Member of Sugababes who were huge when she was in the band. Her solo album sold well and she had a #2 and one more top 10 single.

La Toya Jackson - People expected to hate her, but she was very lovable

Coolio - Annoying, but interesting at times.

Verne - the same closet !@#$%^&*] he was on Surreal Life

Ulrika and that big lady from Shameless - fab!

Michelle - had many top 10 hits with Liberty X and a couple #1's.

That angry politican guy who was sexy in his own way.

This season it seems like the level of fame isn't there. Most are true hasbeens from back in the day and even then their success wasn't too great.

Well. We'll never agree on this point. Ever.

Joan only appeared in certain episodes in that season didn't she? She was leaving the show and I can't say as I blame her. Beacham was a breath of fresh air, and elevated quite a few of the cast. I was even almost interested in Blake, for once.

Joan was only in 13 episodes that season because the producers told her that they couldn't afford to pay her for an entire season, she was making $120,000 an episode at this point. Joan had announced at the beginning of that season that it would be her last, Michael Nader decided that since Joan was going he would leave too which was only logical since there was very little shot at him getting a storyline without her.

OK. So the dance party after Heidi and Kat's evictions was...astounding.

For starters, Stephanie Beacham is a surprisingly horrible dancer. She dances as if she's been plucked straight from 1938. I really don't understand, she's a sexy woman, how did it all get so lost on the dance floor? She is like a character on Miss Marple...speaking of, she'd be great in one of those on ITV. Joan just did one and she was superb. Stephanie really comes off as rather regal, a frightful snob mind you, but regal regardless.

Ivana Trump dances hilariously, as far as Ivana's concerned it's 1978 and she'll be damned if she dances otherwise. I love that she actively sought out dancing with Sisqo, she knew where the action was. She is just so much damn fun and she doesn't conduct herself with airs, she just is who she is.

Dane Bowers is really charming and a swell guy.

Lady Sov is an utter bitch.

Im glad Heidi was evicted. She was just too bitchy. She wasnt even fun bitchy; she was just plain nasty

I felt bad for Katia bc they talked alot of crap about her and she didnt deserve it, but she needed to go bc she was just boring. On a related note, I hope Nicola is out next bc she is just as boring.

Ivana is great. One of my favorite quotes from last week was after the crossword challenge, Stephanie said "Fools or whores? I'd rather be a fool" Ivana then replied "Honey I'd rather be a whore because I'm no fool" LMAO!

Ivana Trump for President of the WORLD. It would be the most hilarious, fun, no bullsh*t place to be.

I really liked hearing her talk about 'Ze Donald' because she knows the side of him that isn't pandering to the cameras. As I suspected, he's much more tolerable behind the scenes.

I was a bit disappointed to see Heidi go. When she was with Davina she was the Heidi I know and love. She's a wise, old, charming, soul. Bitchy, for certain, but very pointed and thoughtful in how she used it.

I am 100% certain that she knew Stephen from her past life in LA...she couldn't stand his hypocrisy.
