Stephanie Out!

The bookies said Mario, we all hoped it would be Mario, but in keeping with BB tradition, the first housemate voted out by the public is a female (the first housemate booted out by the public in all previous eight seasons has been female)!

Stephanie is no more...

Incredibly, Steph got 48% of the final vote - Mario clearly had his fans!

A 'hole' lotta trouble

Have you got piercings?

Have you had any problems with them?

Well according to doctors, lots of us with piercings do have problems afterwards.

One in ten of us now have a piercing somewhere else other than our ears.

More than a quarter of people under 25 have experienced complications such as infections.

Doctors say too many young people try and get a friend to pierce them, which doesn't help, they advise not doing it the DIY way.

Roo and Col tie the knot

Wayne and Coleen will wake up this morning as Mr and Mrs Rooney.

They finally tied the knot in Italy yesterday.

It's thought they forked out £5 million on everything from a huge fireworks display to a performance by Westlife.

The paparazzi have been in hot pursuit of them trying to get some pictures.

But the couple signed a deal with one of the celebrity magazines for exclusive photos.

Cowell sign choirboy

The choirboy from Britain's Got Talent has got himself a big record deal.

Andrew Johnston who's just 13 has been signed to one of Simon Cowell's labels.

He's described it as a "dream come true".

Lots of people in the audience at his audition cried after hearing his story of how he was being bullied at school.

Looks like he had the last laugh!

Whole lotta hair!

Amy Winehouse is looking even more top-heavy than usual.

She's been spotted with a massive new beehive hairstyle.

The papers arreckon she looks like Marge Simpson, or a Beefeater.

She unveiled the new-look as she headed out to Moscow - apparently to perform for Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Delivery drivers walk out

Hundreds of fuel tanker drivers have gone on strike because they are not happy with their pay.

They're protesting at Shell sites across the UK.

The industrial action is going to last for 4 days, meaning there will not be any fuel deliveries at Shell stations over the weekend.

Shell own 1 in every 10 petrol stations in the country.

The Government and motoring organisations say there's no need to panic buy.

Skin cancer risk this summer

Wearing flip-flops and sandals could increase your risk of getting skin cancer.

Specialists say the skin on our feet is sensitive because they are not used to being exposed to strong sunlight for most of the year.

Bob Marley died from a melanoma on his toe which he thought was a football injury.

The ultimate accessory

Here you go girlies...the ultimate handbag's is now on sale if you have a spare £1million.

There is only one of them in the world, but it's pretty unique - the strap is made with over two thousand diamonds.

The clever bit is you can take the strap off and wear it as necklace or bracelet.

It's the final of the Vauxhall UK beatboxing championships in London today.

Alex Levan from Bristol is 1 of 8 competing in an 8 Mile style beatbox war.

Well-known Killa Kella is judging them.

DJ Big Bro

Big Brother was in a generous mood on Thursday - when the housemates shopping arrived, they'd been given a bit of booze ('Moonshine'), and a record token, giving them a song of BB's choosing. This excited Dennis waaay too much. Then again, it doesn't take much.

Mario was probably hoping for 'Eye of the Tiger' again, but it was the Ting-Tings ' Thats Not My Name' that Big Brother chose, and housemates predictably got up on the tables and danced like idiots when it came on. They'd even dressed up for the occasion. Sweet.

Later, the housemates continued the party in the pool - although Dennis, Steph, Rebecca, Darnell, Rex and Dale were too noisy, and Big Brother ordered them out. Alexandra moaned about them making too much noise too, the party-pooper.

(Very) Little Chef

Thursday's are notoriously less eventful than other days in the BB house - simply because Channel 4 don't have as much time to show highlights on Fridays, what with evictions and whatnot - so a fair chunk of yesterday was spent compiling this week's shopping list!

After the task failure on Wednesday, each housemate has just £1 per day for the next week - and this means housemates have to weigh up the worth of getting tokens for luxuries (including hot water).

The tokens cost £1 each, and Stephanie actually wants one to be put towards hair straightners! Well, when you're up for eviction, who needs food?
