Who let the Dog in?

In between pneumatic models, reality TV performers, ex soap stars, failed talent show competitors, an openly gay rugby player and the odd adulteress, there's actually an authentic Hollywood star on the latest edition of Celebrity Big Brother.


None other than big Michael Madsen, Mr Blonde from Reservoir Dogs, 51-year-old veteran of more than 170 films and TV shows since he made his screen debut 30 years ago.

Thrice married Madsen, whose credits also include Die Another Day, Sin City, Kill Bill Parts I & II and Species I & II, not to mention - and how could you forget them - two helpings of the whale adventure Free Willy, will doubtless be bemused by some of his talent-free fellow guests.

How about, just to liven things up, he recreates Mr Blonde's most infamous moment from Tarantino's heist movie and arbitrarily picks a CBB contestant to dance around before severing his or her ear to the strains of Stealers Wheel's 'Stuck in the Middle With You'.

Now that would boost the ratings.
