Apparently looking to up the intellectual factor on their mindless reality show, the makers of the UK version of “Big Brother” are attempting to recruit renowned physicist Stephen Hawking to appear in a celebrity edition of the program.
Though he reportedly found the request ridiculously flattering, sources close to Hawking indicate that the quadriplegic genius is likely to decline the producers’ invitation. Tempted as he is by their offer of a substantial fee; multiple renovations to make the “Big Brother” house entirely wheelchair-friendly; and a guarantee of first dibs at “that one hot blonde floozy,” the scientist knows full well that his appearance on a reality TV show would cause the universe to implode–and therefore it must be avoided at all costs.
So, if Hawking won’t do it, who else might turn up on “Celebrity Big Brother” in his place? Well, according to UK tabloid The Sun, other prime targets include mentally unstable former pop star Adam Ant…and mentally unstable foreign pop star David Hasselhoff.
Oh, my. Could that really happen? Could there actually be a show that puts the King of the Wild Frontier in the same house with…The Hoff?
I shudder to think. And then I check TV Guide to see whether that show is on yet.
