Housemates Wanted: UK Big Brother Series 9 now casting on StarNow.co.uk |

Are you outgoing, intriguing, and competitive with a big personality to boot ?
Perhaps you’d fancy being a housemate on the next series of Big Brother, the popular reality show where fifteen people live together full-time, isolated from the outside world but under the continuous gaze of live television cameras.
Now gearing up to film its ninth series, the popular show is currently casting for new contestants throughout the UK via casting call and auditions website StarNow.co.uk.
Housemate hopefuls can apply to audition for the show via the website, popular for providing the entertainment industry with casting calls and auditions for television, film, theatre and more.
Big Brother, a creation of the television production giant Endemol UK, first aired in 1999 and had since become a prime-time hit in over seventy countries.
Famous for the antics of its quirky and controversial housemates, the reality TV phenomenon is now one of the UK’s most widely watched shows, with a staggering average audience of four million viewers per night.
Achieving the housemate position on Big Brother virtually propels participants to a semi-celebrity status, with past housemates including model Danielle Lloyd having reaped much fame and fortune through the show.
Miss Lloyd (http://www.starnow.co.uk/DanielleLloyd ) is not the only Big Brother celebrity subscribed to StarNow.co.uk. Model Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Actress Lea Walker, both of Big Brother 7 fame, are also members.
Those wanting to try their luck at getting onto the Big Brother bandwagon can apply for auditions in their area via StarNow.co.uk
And for those residing in the United States, don't worry StarNow has the casting call for Season 9 of CBS's Big Brother also. US applicants can apply online to become a housemate in the American Series. |

Thanks to Star Now, I got to live in a dump for 3 weeks! |

 | | Scavenging for scraps amongst stinking, rat-infested trash and making the most of Britain’s waste– Jermaine Liburd (http://www.starnow.com/jam) endured it all for no less than twenty-one stench filled days
It’s all part of the game in Channel 4’s newest reality TV experiment Dumped, where 11 unsuspecting strangers are left to survive off one of Britain’s biggest landfills. The show aims at highlighting the mountain of rubbish consumed by British |
households every year.
When the shows participants were invited to take part in an eco-challenge little did they know that they would soon trying to sustain a life from the unwanted waste while carrying out such tasks as constructing a shelter and ecologically friendly toilet out of the mountain of trash.
Upon learning that he was required to live in a dump for the duration of the show, Liburd was a little taken aback.
“My reaction was a bit like uh-oh this is going to be nuts!”
And 21 days is no short time for a self-confessed materialist to be living in other people’s waste, without the usual comforts of modern suburban living.
“The hardest part was simply the length of time, it was just too long - any longer I think I would have gone mad!” Commented Liburd.
Liburd, one of the eleven selected to undertake the challenge, applied to participate in the show through a casting call on StarNow.co.uk, an online talent community of which he is a member.
As part of the ever-increasing reality television trend, StarNow.co.uk provides an avenue to allow people from all walks of life to apply for casting calls in various areas of the entertainment industry.
And living in a dump for three weeks isn't the only opportunity Liburd has had through the website. He has also been on other television shows, including gameshows.
“Star Now has made me £27,000 in just over a year!!! It’s a safe bet that I’ve been plugging it to my mates!!!”
