The Valleys AKA Geordie Shore but with a different accent

I've got a great idea, let's put a load of wannabes into a house, ply them with alcohol, encourage them to get up to all sorts, film them, then pick out the most outrageous bits and turn it into a new reality show.

Oh hang on, no, they've already done that with Geordie Shore...

Well if you like that then you'll love The Valleys because it's exactly the same!!

Sex, booze, parties, boobs... Ticks all the same boxes.

Nicole appears to have a wind problem.

I'm not gonna lie and pretend it's not compulsive viewing because any lover of reality TV will certainly be sucked into this too, but it's certainly nothing original.

I never watched Geordie Shore religiously, mainly because I didn't have MTV when it started but I did sit and watch the whole box set of series 1 and though utterly shocked at what I was seeing, I couldn't bring myself to switch off.

Lateysha looks like Beyonce - apparently.

I thought I'd give The Valleys a go in the hope that it would be something a bit different to all the others but, no, it has the same characters as all the rest. Ie. the player, the bimbo, the glamour model, the gay... etc.

The show is clearly intended to shock and I guess if you'd never watched anything like this before then you would be pretty taken aback but I found it more cringeworthy than anything.

Watch out girls - here are the lads.

I'm not saying that what these people are getting up to is wrong, everyone likes to 'let their hair down' once in a while but I just can't understand why on earth they would want to be filmed doing it!

Are they really that desperate to be famous?!

I reckon they should set up a new show which follows around a bunch of nerdy people. It would be like a cross between The Inbetweeners and TOWIE!

But for now, I guess I'll be tuning into The Valleys to see 'who's banging who' next week. 

Interesting Twitter pics of the day

As there doesn't appear to be a lot of juicy goss this weekend and a serious lack of reality tv at the mo (booooo) I thought I would just share with you some interesting pictures I have come across today from some of our favourite stars of the Z-list!

 Tom Pearce and James 'Diags' Bennewith:

Alex Reid makes cringeworthy video plea to Chantelle

Oh dear Alex Reid, just as we thought you were hanging on to a scrap of dignity by staying quiet over the break-up, you went and proved us wrong.

Alex has recorded a #MegaCringe video to Chantelle Houghton in which he tells her he loves her and Dolly and asks her to stop "venting her anger at him" in her column.

Alex tells the camera: 

"Things have to change, there's been so many untruths said and I feel if I don't say something it's gonna get worse and worse."

He ends the message with:

"I know you love me... I hope you love me... Let's sort this out."

The couple who recently split after Chantelle gave birth to baby daughter Dolly have been on and off throughout the relationship.

Alex who has kept quiet until now, was arrested at the couple's home in Brentwood earlier this month on suspicion of criminal damage and using violence to secure entry to the property.

New reality TV star from MARGATE!

The latest dating show from ITV2 called Girlfri3nds is coming soon and stars Margate's home-grown heart-throb Danny Wisker!

Say cheese.

The show, hosted by Emma Willis, features three women of different ages, life experiences and backgrounds who come together with one common goal - to find true love.

They get to meet and pick from 100 different guys including our very own Danny who also starred as an extra on the last series of TOWIE.

Out the way Ricky (Who are ya...)

Danny, 26, said: 

"Doing the show was way out of my comfort zone and I saw it as a great opportunity to meet someone new away from where I live.

I can't say if I found love on the show you will have to watch and see but I met all three of the girls for 15 minutes and they are all great, down to earth girls!"

Can't wait to see what happens!


In other news, Jessie J has confirmed she will be shaving her head live on TV next year in aid of Comic Relief.

Well, she has a pretty 'quirky' dress-sense so I reckon she'll pull this off and of course it's for a great cause so good on her.

Never mind the scissors get the clippers out!

Apparently things are "heating up" again between Spencer Matthews and Louise Thompson. Surprise, surprise!

Is that Khloe over there spying on me?

Louise told The Daily Mail on Wednesday:

"We are still officially good friends but things are definitely heating up between us. 

We are spending a lot of time together while filming the next series of Made in Chelsea and we are flirting a lot. The old flame is being rekindled."

Meanwhile Khloe, Spencer's 'chosen one' from The Bachelor tweeted:

"Can not wait to get married seriously wow ! X"

Oh dear, don't think she's going to be Mrs Matthews any time soon...

Amy Childs ignites TOWIE row

Amy Childs has started a row today by writing in her New Magazine column that viewers have "had enough" of Mario Falcone and Lucy Mecklenburgh's relationship on TOWIE.

We've had enough hunnay.

Mario hit back on Twitter saying: 

"According to a former Towie cast member some of us have run out of story lines... Think that certain airhead has run out of products to...

bring out after her piece of rubbish programme fell flat on its face... Yes it was all about you and yes it was crap!!" (sic)

What you sayin'?

Oooo...


Well, to be fair, I think Mario has a point.


Amy also wrote in her column that Chloe Sims and Lauren Pope have "run out of stories" hinting that they could be getting the chop from the next series.

As if they'll axe us party animals?

As Cheryl Cole once said (with reference to Cher Lloyd):

"Be careful who you kick on your way up, they kick you twice as hard on your way back down..."

In other words I think Amy should remember that if it wasn't for TOWIE none of us would know who she was. And as her show It's All About Amy didn't exactly sky-rocket in the ratings department, she might have to send the TOWIE producers her CV again soon...

Oh, and talking of TOWIE, I see Chloe Sims has a book coming out called The Only Way Is Up - My Story. If it's going to be all about boob jobs, botox and bum jobs I think I might have to give that one a miss though (bit squeamish). 

No offence Chlo'.

Police called after Jasmine threatens Rhian

Ex Celebrity Big Brother housemate Jasmine Lennard has been causing nothing but drama since she left the Big Brother house two weeks ago. 

'Queen of the Damned' (her words, not mine)

Getting into Twitter scraps with other celebrities (well, Kerry Katona), confessing that Simon Cowell is still the "love of her life" and more recently using threatening behaviour towards Rhian Sugden which resulted in police being called.

I know I was not exactly raving about Rhian and Danica in my last post but I am definitely on their side in this latest battle!

Apparently earlier in the week, Rhian had tweeted an old photo of Jasmine posing for a naked photo shoot. 

Pay-back time.

The picture, according to Jasmine, was private and the only people who had copies were her and her management so she reckoned someone had hacked into her computer to get them (would Rhian know how to do this, really?).

So extra security was called to the Celebrity Big Brother final last night after Jasmine had tweeted Rhian saying:

"I sincerely doubt @Rhianmarie will be "smirking" tonight. Let's see how brave barbie is without her gang of pg 3 whores behind her. 

If i was @Rhianmarie i would be afraid. VERY afraid right now."

Nice!

Surprised Jasmine didn't play human dominoes.

I understand that Jasmine didn't like these girls, for whatever reason, but the constant tweeting about 'barbie' and 'danica whore' is getting a bit boring now isn't it?

She's a model (who's done topless, and seemingly naked, shoots) who became famous after having an affair with Simon Cowell behind his girlfriend's back.

Is that the kinda person who can really preach to Rhian and Danica?!

Think she needs to build a bridge and get over it!

Wise words nana.

Former Big Brother housemates bare all

I guess it's hardly surprising that soon after leaving the Big Brother House the two glamour models Rhian Sugden and Danica Thrall have done a raunchy photo shoot together. (FYI this is the only pic I could really safely publish. Don't want people getting the wrong idea about my website...)

Breast friends.

I know this is what these girls do for a living so it was inevitable that they would do a shoot together but considering they both went into the house to try and 'change the public's opinion of them' surely doing this kinda thing isn't going to help their desired perception?

What do you think?

Meanwhile someone really should have told Nicola McLean her top was see-through before she ventured out in this outfit last night.

Nippy.

But check out this smart little boy...!!

No more skanky Frankie.

Aww The Bachelor finally picks his girl! ... Or not

I know that some (ok, all) reality TV shows are set-up purely for our entertainment and they're not exactly true to life but I'm a little upset that my favourite (#cringeattack) one of all The Bachelor has come out to be totally fake.

Dirty, rotten liars.

Well, so I've heard anyway... The first clue was the rumour I heard right back when the show started that Spencer Matthews was in fact still with his ex Louise Thompson throughout the entire filming.

When Louise was angrily tweeted about his antics on the show (see earlier blog-post) I guess this was all done with the aim to dispel these rumours and obviously to give people (like me) something to talk about.

Then in the final episode last week when most viewers were expecting Spencer to pick Tabby Richards (who we could see fitting perfectly well into Made in Chelsea) to be the winner, he went and picked kiss-and-tell-girl Khloe Evans (definitely more of a candidate for Geordie Shore).

I guess in hindsight this was done to create more of a drama but apparently Spencer and Khloe 'split up' just hours after filming finished.

And then these pictures emerged of Khloe canoodling with TOWIE's Tom Pearce!

It'll be interesting to see if there's any attempt from Spencer to explain himself when Made in Chelsea starts again next month.
