The Upcoming Week...

So this week another reality show begins... and we hope Matt Willis will come out victorious as King Of The Jungle... or something less silly, but either way with his dignity fully intact. Hmm...

His official website has a video download available (when you pre-order his amazing new single Don't Let It Go To Waste) which was filmed as he was about to leave for Australia I believe.

In it he reveals he's not looking forward to going on the show, that he's turned it down a few times because he thought it was tacky, and his ideal jungle-mates would be Dave Grohl, Liz Hurley or 'someone with a pub on them...'.

I fear this does not bode well for the upcoming weeks.

James Bourne has allegedly poured scorn upon his former Busted bandmate for accepting the offer of reality TV, saying he turned down 'Love Island' and doesn't understand why Matt would do 'I'm A Celeb' in his 'fragile state' and that it's 'career suicide'. Ouch. All this from a guy now touring with Bowling For Soup and Wheatus.*


Come on Willis - POSITIVE THOUGHTS... you're going to be in there with the genius that is Jason Donovan... plus annoyingly self-absorbed David Gest and Scott Henshall, but lets not dwell on them.

I say some subtle singing of new album tracks round the campfire is in order, slowly getting them into the public's subconscious in a Peter Andre - Insania type way.

Although Willis's stuff is far superior to the Andre's. I mean FAR superior.

Oh and about the campfire - if your luxury item is hair product, Willis, please don't get too close to open flames.

So, to sum up - This week is all about ITV's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, and Matt Willis winning the country over with his winning mix of charm, good looks and personality.


*Okay, that sounded bitchy and mean. Truth is I love the puppy dog like qualities of James Bourne, he was a comedy genius on shortlived series America Or Busted AND I went to see Wheatus live after their only hit over here and found them quite entertaining. Especially the guy that shakes fruit around. In fact Wheatus and Bowling For Soup have had their material bought by me in the past... I just can't have people insulting the Willis... even if it's only backed up by The Mirror and I vaguely, possibly, agree with the content of the accusation. Ahem.
