Lots of celebs turned up for Company Magazine's 30th Birthday Party at the Proud Galleries in Camden last night. Liz McClarnon shone in her bright red dress, while Sophie Ellis-Bextor and hubby Richard Jones coordinated in their all black outfits. Like the
BT Digital Music Awards, the party was graced by ex-
Big Brother housemates, giving BB9 hunk Stuart Pilkington the opportunity to rub shoulders with last series' Sam and Amanda Marchant and series seven's Imogen Thomas.
Big Brother 9's Rebecca, Stephanie and Sara looked quite the trio of trouble as they watched another trio on stage at the BT Digital Music Awards at the Roundhouse last night. Sugababes Keisha, Amelle and Heidi entertained the crowd while Fearne Cotton was on hosting duties in her lace-backed number. Kylie Minogue
won two awards and Radiohead scooped Artists of the Year, with Coldplay, The Zutons and Vampire Weekend also
winning awards.
Big Brother 9's Rebecca Shiner and Luke Marsden have taken their relationship to the next level by moving in to a new place together in North London this week. After struggling with boxes filled with toys, in true Luke and Bex style they engaged in role reversal with Bex carrying her beau over the threshold! It's no wonder their grins are so big, as their happy personal life is being matched by their professional prospects.
We all knew it was going to happen at some point — a
Big Brother 9 contestant is releasing a single, and it's Stephanie McMichael.
Having found a spare moment amongst her rumoured
shenanigans with Rex, BB9's first evictee recorded the uptempo and wonderfully named "Camera Shy".
It's unsurprising that Steph is taking another stab at the music industry; after all, she entered Popstars: The Rivals (birthplace of Girls Aloud) but had to leave when judges discovered she lied about her age.
Your
favourite Big Brother 9 couple Luke and Bex have shown off an addition to their blissful life together while taking a stroll in Battersea Park — this gorgeous little puppy. The pooch is apparently named Vegas, after the city where they
got "married" last month. As usual, the
serial snoggers were happy to kiss and canoodle for all the world to see and looked thrilled with their new pup.
So Rachel Rice has won Big Brother 9, with 51.3% of the final vote!
Check out
my massive gallery of pictures from last night, and the comments in
our ridiculously fun live blog of the evening! During our live blog, there wasn't anyone present who seemed impressed about Rachel winning, in fact we were all pretty shocked.
This is it —
Big Brother 9 Final time!
It's all about to kick off on Channel 4. We'll chat from 8pm until 9pm, take a break for Ugly Betty from 9pm until 10pm and then get right back on the Big Brother 9 discussion from 10pm until 11pm.
Big Brother 9 came to an end on Friday, but I can't get the housemates out of my head just yet. The big story of this year's series for me was the number of couples in the house. Lisa and Mario went in as a couple, and came out
engaged, while Rex's girlfriend
Nicole was a surprise new housemate late on in the show's run.
Mo and Kat: so near, yet so far. Mohamed was the first evicted from
Big Brother last night, with a measly
1.8% of the vote count, and Kathreya was hot on his heels, having
polled just 4.9%. The housemates, who were wearing dressing gowns when the first announcement was made, were totally shocked by the
double eviction.
