Macaulay Culkin And Johnny Vegas For Celebrity Big Brother?

Producers working on the fourth series of ?Celebrity Big Brother? have promised that the new series will be "be as twisted as ever".

The latest celebrity rumored to be staying in the house is tub of lard comedian, Johnny Vegas.

He is allegedly joining Michael Barrymore, Esther Rantzen, Boy George, Macaulay Culkin and Anna Nicole Smith for an enforced stay in the Big Brother house.

According to tabloid reports producers are hoping that Culkin will spill the beans on his time in Neverland with Michael Jackson...this however sounds pretty unlikely.

Although Channel 4 is refusing to confirm the names of any of the 10 celebrity contestants, William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams is convinced Vegas will appear in the house and will win.

He said to MSN: "Of all the touted names, we feel that Johnny Vegas is the celebrity with the greatest appeal and consequently he is our early favorite.?

Producer Sharon Power is determined to bring the Z-Listers back down to earth and is hoping to shock and surprise the contestants.

She said: "Just because the housemates are celebrities, doesn't mean that Big Brother isn't in charge or afraid to call the shots.

"We have lots of new twists and surprises planned that will give our celebrity housemates something new and unexpected to cope with, every step of the way.?

The new series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' kicks off in the UK, Thursday 9pm on Channel 4.
