Echo Beach, Celeb BB, and Nicole Richie’s Baby Countdown.

OK, so who managed to catch the first episodes of Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach last night? I did and I have to admit I thought it was great! Moving wallpaper is the fake documentary ‘behind the scenes’ style show in which we see producer Jonathan Pope (played by the hilarious Ben Miller) and his team of writers planning each episode and deciding what will happen next. I loved the fact that if you watch carefully there are little ‘in jokes’ throughout the show which pop up during Echo Beach, the actual soap opera show starring Jason Donovan and Martine McCutcheon. This is kind of a cross between Home and Away, Hollyoaks and The OC which I find completely bizarre but utterly compelling to watch! I think I’m preferring ‘Moving Wallpaper’ to Echo Beach itself at the moment but it definitely has a lot of potential and I’m really looking forward to see what kind of character development and cool story arc’s we get over the next 12 episodes.

Now I know I said last week that I wasn’t really sure about the new Celebrity BB Hijack show, but I have a small confession to make… its really growing on me. I have tuned in to a few more episodes and was in absolute hysterics as Russell Brand got his turn in the BB chair. He came up with some great tasks and really made the most of his time in there. Kelly Osbourne was also amazing, she had a down to earth caring and honest attitude which really made the show fun to watch. I was also pleasantly surprised at the fact I enjoyed John McCririck’s celebrity hijack, despite the fact that the man seriously creeps me out and disgust me simultaneously! Kudos to him for putting the housemates through their paces and telling them all that they were the favourite to win was brilliant.

Nicole Richie is expecting her baby any day in the next week according to recent reports. The star is heavily pregnant and her family and boyfriend Joel Madden (from the band Good Charlotte) are getting increasingly excited about the imminent new arrival. I’m looking forward to seeing the little one when he/she arrives, and it’s good to see Nicole looking positively glowing for once! Lets hope she manages to keep on some of that baby weight afterwards and not go back to her old skeletal frame of the past.

Look out for the new series of Dancing on Ice starting on Sunday, more on that next week! Have a great weekend.
