Celebrity Big Brother 2012: Karissa and Kristina Shannon land their own UK reality TV show

by Lisa McGarry.

The British public may have booed and jeered at Karissa and Kristina Shannon as they left the Celebrity Big Brother house, however it seems that TV bosses believe they could have a future here.

The Playboy models finished in fifth place on the Channel 5 show last Friday night, but already they are in talks about starring in their very own reality TV show, which will be filmed in England.

The siblings have explained that the fly on the wall series will show people what they are really like and Karissa told The Daily Star:

“I think we’re going to call it A Double Life. You will see what we are really like, how mad our world is.”

Kristina added: “We’ve got so much going on. We are recording more music, looking at film scripts and we have our fitness DVD coming out.”

Of course the stunning sisters are no stranger to TV cameras and as well as their stint in the Big Brother house, they have previously starred in E! network reality television series The Girls Next Door, back in 2008 when they lived in the Playboy mansion with Hugh Hefner.

Will you be tuning into their new show?

 

Twins fail to win Celeb Big Brother

About a week ago, TV presenter Denise Welch commited what some thought was career suicide by getting plastered on wine, and flashed her breasts to the others in the hot-tub. Denise was also responsible for tugging one of the Shannon Twins trousers dowm during another drunken jape. The twin didn’t appreciate it, threatened to quit the show, and sue the organisation behind the show. She promised her management would sue Channel 4 if shots of her ‘bare’ butt were shown on screen.

This started a right backlash against them. Various glamour models were chiming in on twitter suggesting it would have been OK if they’d been paid, plus lots of digs about how they can complain when they slept with Hef. Nice, huh!

The twins alsao got slagged off on companion shows, as they were accused of creating this ‘outrage’ over them being slightly de-bagged just to get airtime, being humourless Americans, and hypocrites.

They didn’t win. The tv presenter that flashed her breasts did. Which many thought was a 2-fingered salute to the twins.

Just over a year ago, Kayla Coillins was in another reality show. When she came out, she was taken to a Charity Lunch for the Variety Club of Great Britain. They take disadvantaged kids from deprived areas, and hospitals, out on daytrips and holidays, and get a lot of good work done. Kayla was taken by their Celeb Booker, who brown-nosed her on twitter around that time. This person seems to like brown-nosing celebs quite often for events and such.She has another event on Feb 6th for her own cancer campaign. She had breast cancer, and was tweeting her t-List (ex-soap star, washed up musician) celeb friends like mad trying to get folks to come along, or get it trending.

Last week, just after the twins started their complaints about Denise Welch (the TV presenter) and getting all smug about how they were the hottest girls in there, and they’re going to walk the show to victory.. aforementioned celeb booker started having a right go at them for being shallow, how hypocritical they were because they sleep with Hef, pose nude (once, as the girls said to Frankie), and would apparently show their butts for money. (Oh and twitter suddenly filled with jpegs of the twins in bikinis and/or showing butts, asking how this was OK, yet a slight butt exposure was not OK..) This lovely celeb booker (who somehow won some ‘Personality of the Year’ last year) really started slagging off Playmates in general. When I said ‘not planning to use Kayla, again.’ I got a response ‘Kayla who..’. I reminded said drunk who kayla was, including a link to her recently tweeted photo page.

I now find I’m blocked. So that’s Kara Monaco blocked me for asking if she was going to ignore her UK fans, like her then employers on Old Park Lane.. and this person, for standing up for folks she relies on to do her job.

Gotta love the backstabbing Celeb World.. eh!

‘Playboy’ Shannon twins finish fifth in Celebrity Big Brother 2012

By Paul Millar

The Shannon twins have become the eighth contestants to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The Playboy duo were the first housemates to be voted off during tonight’s final.

Comforting the pair, Denise Welch told them as they heard the news, “I’ll see you in the bar”, before Kristina said, “They’re going to boo like f**k”.

After saying goodbye to those inside the house, Karissa Shannon and Kristina Shannon‘s fears were realized as they walked out the doors to a unanimous chorus of boos.

Interviewed by Brian Dowling, Karissa revealed that they make no apology for their arrogance, saying: “We want to inspire other young women to be just like we are – confident in themselves.”

On why they were voted out, Karissa added: “I know Denise has a lot of fans out here, and Frankie’s out here and he’s been on The X Factor.”

They haven’t seen it all: Playboy twins bewildered by CBB housemates’ assertion that most UK men aren’t circumcised

By Kirsty Mccormack

They may have lived in the Playboy mansion but it seems that twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon don’t know everything about Hugh Hefner.

Kristina was left red-faced when a casual conversation in the living room yesterday turned to the subject of circumcision.

After admitting that it was normal for men in the US to be circumcised, Nicola McLean asked the twins if Hugh had had the procedure.

'How would we know?' Twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon were offended when asked if Hugh Hefner has been circumcised‘How would we know?’ Twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon were offended when asked if Hugh Hefner has been circumcised

‘How the f**k would I know!’ Kristina quickly replied.

Obviously worrying that she had offended the twins, Nicola then went on to say: ‘Did you not ask him?’

The twins replied that they didn’t and seemed eager to forget about Hugh and his private parts.

The odd conversation began when the group were discussing surgery.

Dirty conversation: The Playboy twins told the rest of the group that it is normal for men in the U.S. to have had the procedure Dirty conversation: The Playboy twins told the rest of the group that it is normal for men in the U.S. to have had the procedure

Karissa and Kristina took it upon themselves to tell the group that it is normal for men to be circumcised stateside.

Nicola, Gareth and Frankie responded by saying that in the UK it is not so common and mainly done for medical or religious reasons.

The group then pondered on whether or not U.S. actor Michael Madsen was.

‘Let Denise ask him,’ Frankie joked, while Karissa headed into the bedroom to ask him.

Personal question: Karissa decided to ask Michael if he had been circumcised to which he replied 'yes'Personal question: Karissa decided to ask Michael if he had been circumcised to which he replied ‘yes’

The Reservoir Dogs star confirmed that he was and then muttered: ‘What a question.’

Following her question about Hugh, Nicola then tried her best to explain to the twins what an uncircumcised penis looks like physically.

However, the mother-of-two couldn’t stop laughing as she tried to describe it and Gareth soon stepped in to help.

The former rugby player explained that it can be ‘indoors or outdoors…blanket on or blanket off,’ and also began laughing hysterically.

‘I feel disrespected’: Tearful Playboy model Karissa Shannon threatens to quit Celebrity Big Brother after Denise Welch pulls her trousers down

By Sarah Bull and J J Anisiobi

 

She might have made a career for herself out of showing off her body, but when it comes to her everyday life, Karissa Shannon is pretty conservative.

The Playboy model threatened to quit the reality show last night after Denise Welch jokingly pulled her trousers down.

Afterwards, Karissa, 22, vented her frustrations in the Diary Room, telling Big Brother she wanted to leave and threatening to sue the programme.

The tears began after Denise exposed Karissa’s bottom as the group began dancing around the house after Big Brother played music into the house.

Afterwards, Karissa told Denise: ‘I’ll forgive you tomorrow but I’m pissed off,’ before storming into the garden and shouting: ‘B***h! Denise just pulled my pants down. She apologised but it’s not OK.’

And in the Diary Room later, an emotional Karissa said: ‘I want to leave. I’m ready to go now, I wanna go home. Denise just tried to pull down my pants for no reason.

‘She knows I’m one of the most reserved people in the house, I’m the classy woman of the house. I do not do that type of stuff.’

Karissa added: ‘You’re gonna show my ass on TV, that’s for sure.

‘I’m not cool with that so I’m going to sue you guys. I don’t flash my a**, or flash my t**s, I feel disrespected.’

‘My management’s not gonna be OK with this, and I know you guys roll your cameras 24 hours a day, and I know you got that shot.

‘You’re going to show that, and I’m going to sue you for it, so I want to leave now. I’m serious. This isn’t some stupid s**t. I’m p***ed off.’

Her sister, Kristina, joined her in the diary room later on and managed to calm her down before telling her that she was ‘acting immature’.

But Karissa also told Big Brother she wanted to take action against Frankie Cocozza, accusing him of sexual harassment.

She said: ‘I’m done with Frankie’s sexual harassment, he sexually harasses me every day, and I want to go home.’

The bombshell came as a shock to viewers who had earlier heard the twin sisters state that Frankie was harmless and he was acting like a typical 18-year-old boy.

The Playmate had, however, been left disgusted by Cocozza’s comments to her over the past couple of weeks that have become more and more lewd.

Earlier this week he told the sisters that he wanted to sleep with them and waved condoms at them in the bedroom.

He said: ‘Girls, if you ever need it, it’s there. Come and put a condom on me. Teach me how to do it.’

However, the argument on last night’s show spilled out around the rest of the house and Nicola and Denise began shouting at each other hysterically.

Nicola McLean tried to diffuse the row by taking Kristina out into the garden but as Denise shouted at her Nicola screamed back: ‘Do me a favour, if you want it to kick off then I’ll let her back in!’

McLean then decided to tell Denise how embarrassing it was that Denise had gotten topless in the hot tub last week.

Nicola said: ‘I was a Page 3 girl for a lot of years, and you flash your boobs openly on telly and you’re cool with that? I’m not.’

But Denise, 53, said: ‘I’ve had a lot of things I’ve wanted to say to you in the house.’

She berated Nicola for shredding up everyone else letters from their families earlier in the week so she could get her own, before breaking down in tears and smoking a cigarette in the garden.

Nicola told Denise: ‘You’ll be embarrassed when you watch it back’, and told Frankie that she wasn’t speaking to him.

Frankie hit back and told the WAG that she had changed since Natalie Cassidy left the house.

‘I really appreciate you apologising because I’m really upset. I admire you.’

Denise Welch and Nicola McLean go head to head after the Playboy twins spark an almighty argument on Celebrity Big Brother

By J J Anisiobi

After enjoying some wine, the whole house became excited when Big Brother began playing music into the house and Karissa, Kristina and Nicola began jumping around and singing.

The good vibrations lasted for just a few minutes as the biggest argument of the series erupted.

As Denise joined in with the other girls singing, she began flashing her chest again and then groped Karissa’s cleavage.

She then stormed into the diary room and said she feels disrespected and added: ‘I’m done with Frankie’s sexual harassment’.

After telling Big brother she wanted to leave the house she threatened to take legal action and said: ‘I’m going to sue you guys for showing my ass.’

The Twins on Celeb Big Brother

Not sure if Mister Coke has posted a link to any write-up on this latest episode..

Former model with the fakest boobs, Nicola, has switched sides from being anti-twins, and now pro-twins. Mostly because her other female allies have been booted.

In a huuuuge drunken bust-up, one of the twins had threatened to walk as another housemate had apparently pulled her trousers down, briefly. Lots of folks on Twitter saying that they’re being bitchy because they got their bits out, and snogged each other, and thats ok, but having ones pants down is not..

Also during the bust-up, the sexual harrassment charge cropped up against the former X-Factor wannabe that the twins are suggesting. Apprently they reckon he keeps harassing them and he seemed oblivious, and in a rant to Big Brother suggested he’d have stopped if they’d said they were uncomfortable. They had just ignored him after a while.

The Glamour Sistahood on twitter that I follow seem very anti-Twins. Its almost as if it’d be ok to de-bag these girls in public.

There always seems to be a thought that the twins are just playing a game, to get tv time, and hopefully win.

The former X Factor contestant and his pal Kirk Norcross, who was evicted last night, were branded filthy by Playboy girls Karissa and Kristina after they waved condoms at them and made lewd jokes.

Frankie, who has already made it clear he would like to bed the twins, said: ‘Girls, if you ever need it, it’s there.

‘Come and put a condom on me. Teach me how to do it.’

Kirk took the joke even further adding: ‘Yeah. With your bum cheeks.’

Disgusted by the boys’ antics, Karissa and Kristina labelled Frankie a ‘pervert’ and said that Kirk is ‘immature’.

Evicted model Georgia Salpa said the girls have complained to producers about the boys’ behaviour, however, an insider told the newspaper that they have not broken any of the house rules.

Frankie, who is now one of the favourites to win the show, has shocked viewers with his wild behaviour inside the house which has seen him cavorting in the hot tub with married Nicola McLean and kissing Denise Welch during a game of spin the bottle.

Before he entered the house he said he would like to have sex with one of his fellow contestants.

Celebrity Big Brother: Playboy twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon complained to bosses about Kirk Norcross and Frankie Covozza’s sexual behaviour

by Lisa McGarry

Playboy models Karissa and Kristina Shannon were reportedly so shocked by the behaviour of Kirk Norcross and Frankie Covozza in the Celebrity Bug Brother house, that they complained to show bosses.

Georgia Salpa – who was evicted from the Channel 5 reality TV show a few days ago – told The Daily Star that the blonde beauties could not believe the amount of smut the boys would talk about, in full earshot of the female housemates and were also perturbed by the amount of times the boys stripped naked.

 The Irish model told the newspaper:

“After a few beers all those two would do was talk about the different girls they’d had, masturbation, drinking and sex.”

She added: “They used to get their willies out too. And they loved to cuddle each other. It was very strange.

“Their behaviour shocked the twins. They went into Big Brother to complain as they found it too much, especially Frankie going on about w***ing in front of them.”

Karissa and Kristina have nominated both Frankie and Kirk on various occasions and told both men exactly why they have done so.

You have to think, if these girls have hung out in the Playboy mansion and never heard men talk so filthily, Cocozza and Norcross must have been quite bad!

Celebrity Big Brother: Playboy twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon call Natalie Cassidy fat!

by Lisa McGarry.

Karissa and Kristina Shannon showed their bitchy side last night, when they called their fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemate Natalie Cassidy fat.

The Playboy models were moaning about the food that had been bought with the shopping budget, saying that they went to the cupboards for a snack and all they could find was ‘cookies and bread.’

The girls complained that they asked for fish and none was bought, neither was there sufficient salad or vegetables to last until the next delivery of supplies was due and the twins were not happy.

As they bitched with the now evicted Georgia Salpa in the bedroom, the girls blamed Natalie for the calorie laden treats stocked up in the kitchen and blasted:

‘The fattest person in the house should not be in charge of the shopping list!’

We can’t wait until Natalie hears that when she gets out!
