Every series has a few d-list celebrities spawn from it. Most don't stay in the spotlight very long but milk it for as much as they can. Jade Goody is (was) probably the most famous, but there was gay Brian something who I think is a kids TV presenter now, Kate Lawler who presented TV for a bit and apparently DJs now, Craig the winner of BB1 became a regular on a popular DIY show doing random jobs. The hot female contestants usually do a few photo shoots for lads mags, a few of the "bubbly" contestants get TV jobs which usually end quickly :P
The worst "celebrities" are the ones that are famous for dating footballers. Footballers are big celebrities over here (I have no idea how it is in the USA), their daily lives being followed in all the crappy magazines and tabloid newspapers as if anyone actually gives a fuck. Because they're stalked so much, their wives and girlfriends are also in the spotlight and thus become celebrities on their own.. I can't name any of them, thankfully >.>, but they do make headlines for stupid stuff. Oh yeah, Posh Spice a.k.a. Victoria Beckham, she's only famous for being a footballers wife nowadays but she used to be a spice girl so that's not the same as most of the others who are just nobodys making headlines for fucking a guy who kicks a ball around for £30k a week.
Sup, bitches :)
