Turning Japanese...

This week's shopping task is underway - housemates will be going all Japanese this week, with various tasks being given including Karate School, Endurance Karaoke, Chopstick challenge & Learning Japanese.

It all got a bit messy while housemates were trying to organise who'd do what, but one thing's for sure - female housemates must wear full Geisha at all times during the task (except in bed, obviously).

Providing there are no more than three fails incurred over the next couple of days, housemates will have something to eat next week!

Two charged over killings

Two men have been found guilty of murdering a 15 year-old boy as he was sleeping.

Michael Dosunmu was under his duvet when gunmen burst into the house last February.

The Old Bailey heard they'd targeted the schoolboy's brother, who shared his room in south east London.

19 year-old Mohammed Sannoh from Peckham and Abdi Omar Noor, who's 22 and from Camberwell, will be sentenced later today.

Hardman hurts hand

Dramatic news from EastEnders...where's those drums?!

Albert Square star Steve McFadden's shattered his hand.

He fell down some stairs on the set.

Steve, who plays Phil Mitchell, needed 30 stitches and pins placed in the bones.

Ouch!

Living up to his hardman reputation though, he's now returned to work after taking just two days off.

The writers have written the injury into the storyline.

Look out for his bandages in the coming weeks...

Back to black-out!

Amy Winehouse spent last night in hospital.

She collapsed at her home in North London so was rushed off to see a doctor.

The singer had loads of tests done overnight - but her people say it was just as a precaution.

The tests results didn't show anything wrong with her.

She is expected to go back home today.

Some people think she took a turn for the worse after more allegations about her husband Blake came out.

Anti-binge ads on the box

Get ready for some grim looking adverts on the TV.

The ads are designed to try and get young people to booze sensibly.

In them you see a girl smearing vomit through her hair, and a young man hurting himself after drinking too much.

The commercial asks: 'You wouldn't start a night like this, so why end it that way?"

The Government hope they will be shocking enough to make young people take notice.

Spears spared driving charge

Britney's not going to face charges over that car accident she was involved in.

A photographer contacted the police claiming she ran over his foot.

But officers involved in the case say due to the commotion and noise at the time, there was no evidence to prove the singer knew what had happened.

Nominations!

They get revealed today - rumours are spreading that Alexandra & Mario won't be up!
Check back later to find out who's gonna be facing the boot this week...

An argument? Surely not!

You can't have a party in the Big Brother house without some kind of argument - and even though it was Mohamed's birthday, that didn't mean he could escape the wrath of Alex!

Mo was in the diary room, and some of what he was saying could be heard in the main house - He was a bit upset that Alex wasn't participating in the cross-dressing, and she hauled him up on his comments.

Nice-Alexandra only lasted until nominations then - there's a surprise!

Nominations... then a party

It was the first round of nominations on Monday - but to cheer housemates up, Big Brother threw a birthday party in the evening for Mohamed... and BB wouldn't be BB without some drag-action!

This wasn't a problem for most of the male housemates - in fact, some of them seemed to prefer the women's attire than their own - but it was miserable Mario who didn't want to join in with the fun.
"I don't cross-dress in real-life, so why should he do it in here?" Was his opinion. It didn't take long for a change of heart - Mario became Mary!

The majority of boys kept the costumes and make-up on for the night, but Mario only stayed as a woman for a couple of hours...
