Channel 4 head of programmes Julian Bellamy has confirmed that there will be no Celebrity Big Brother in 2008.
Bellamy cited a process of "creative renewal" as the reason behind the decision, noting that it will free up close to 30 hours of 9pm programming for "the new and the exciting". He characterised the decision as being of a "public service" nature in order to make room for "genuinely educational and informative television in the guise of entertainment."
"If we wanted to take the easy path we'd recommission all of these shows and we'd probably do two series of Celebrity Big Brother if ratings were all we were after. These are the decisions of a public service broadcaster in search of the new and the exciting."
Channel 4 is currently in discussions with Endemol regarding an "experimental" version of Big Brother for E4 in January.

The "apology" that Jade made to Shilpa was the most staged, phoney, awkward, insincere, @ss-saving apology in the history of the world. Jade Goody is worth £4 million and has a company called Jade Goody PLC...the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Jade Goody is famous for being Jade Goody. She is an ugly, stupid, talentless, arrogant, big-mouthed chav bully. I'm delighted she's shot herself in the foot. Everyone should boycott Jade Goody's products. Do not make that horrible excuse for a person one penny richer than she already (undeservedly) is. Maybe then she'll get off her fat backside, get a real job and start earning money the hard way like the rest of us.

I fail to see the fascination of a load of 'has-beens' in a house together using their acting skills to come up with a bitchy row to top up them ratings. Most people what Celeb BB just because someone they like is in there. I think they should just stick to the no-bodys.
Plus, after Celeb BB not many off them celebs ever come into the limelight. I can think of plently of celebs who don't go on reality TV, and still have a successful career!
But then again, some people enjoy watching people make a fool of themselves. Its almost like a TV version of happy- slapping =]

Yes, I shall miss it! I was quite looking forward to see Paris Hilton survive lol !!!! I expect they decided that to leave another year for all the Shilpa Shetty (horrible woman!) furore to die right down before they do it again. Either that or the so called celebs who were approached refused after what happened last year!

They probably found it difficult to get anyone worth while on after last years effort. They are probably thinking that a year will make the memories fade a bit and they'll get better celebrities.
It might have been fun though, if they had a house full of z list losers. We could have really gone to town on them then lol !

Yep I saw that. Despite all that speculation huh?
Something about increasing anticipation for the summer series... Hmm that is a bit of a bummer. Maybe it's because no celeb in their right mind will go on it for all the tea in china. It's a bit of a shame actually, it's the gutter press that start hate campaigns, not the viewing public.
Oh well, it was only a couple of weeks anyway.
