Big Brother Repulsion Index: Chumscrubbing with CBS

In case you were not clear why the Repulsion Index is a fitting recap for Big Brother , let me just explain that in last night’s episode, producers handcuffed Britney to her sworn enemy for 24 hours and subjected the bound couple to hourly chum baths. Let’s see how that horror show, along with last night’s POV competition — which caged each of the houseguests like they were wild animals — shook up the Index.

What Paul Hogan Has in Common With Roman Polanski

It’s more than just a knife in the water! (Sorry.) The Crocodile Dundee star is not allowed to leave Australia because he owes millions in back taxes. Hogan was served with a “departure prohibition” by the crafty, ready-to-pounce Australian Taxation Office last week when he traveled to Sydney for his mother’s funeral. Where have we heard this before ? “The process of detaining Paul in Australia away from his wife and child in Los Angeles has devastated Paul,” said Hogan’s lawyer Andrew Robinson.

God bless. [ OK! ]
