From UK newspaper gossip column

Plans are already afoot for a second edition of the gameshow celebrity survivor following the success of this edition of the show. The plan is for the next show to be set in the Antarctic. Football pundit Mark Lawrenson, former speaker of the house Betty Boothroyd, Pop singer Morrissey, Ex Eastenders actress Michelle Collins, Ex Coronation Street star Chris Quinten, Countdown presenter Carol Vorderman, documentary maker Louis Theroux, Jeremey Sprake from airline, Socialist Derek Hatton and former gymnast Suzanne Dando have been approached.

It is thought Morrissey is jetting in from Los Angeles next week to talk with the shows producers.

    I'm from the U.K and basically this is just a journalist compiling a hate list, Morrissey is hated generally by the English press because he never kisses their arse, like most of the bands do here. As usual they're having a side swipe at him, I do hope he does an interview soon and puts a few of the twats to rights!

    ...and how?
  • who's on quality control with these stupid rumors? this site - as good and useful it often is - has listed some stupid rumors, but this one takes the cake.

    morrissey's going to drink a pint of fresh cow's blood to advance his team to the next week - yeah, that's going to happen.

    how about a little more fact checking before we print this stuff, huh?

  • as if morrissey would have any part in something as culturally embarrassing and pathetic as survivor. "reality tv" - which serves as evidence of how stupid we all are - truly goes against everything morrissey stands for.

    Reliably devious and truculent.
  • I can just see Morrissey using the communal toilet...

  • I have it on good authority that this, unlikely as it seems, is totally true.
    This will be followed by appearances on Celebrity Ready, Steady, Cook and Blind Date.

  • I can't see him on a show like Survivor, but I can see him on Changing Rooms.

    "Eeep! Who painted my room black? Steven, what do you have to say for yourself?"

  • was written in jest as a way of slagging the show off. Meaning being, we didnt care wot happened to them all in the jungle in the first series let alone a second series.
    This shouldnt of made the news page really.

    truth rest your head there is more than a life at stake here..she may well sell sanctuary but she'll also sell your soul
  • It just so happens that he's going to be in the UK next week. I wonder if it could be true? I mean, how many people expected Tony Blackburn to win? I think it would be a good move PR-wise. Get into the public eye and all that. He could sing "I Like You" to Carol Vorderman.

  • ...a rather tedious, typically caustic Britjoke. Although I can imagine the rest of the mentioned names actually participating in something so intrinsically soulless as reality shows, I can never, ever, in a month of Mays, see Morrissey actually commingling with the hoi-polloi of minor, D-list British TV pseudo-celebs. What a fucking rotter!

  • it says he was ASKED. You can drop a letter in the mail to the Queen and ask her if she wanted to be on the show and add her name to that list and be quite serious that she was invited to be on the show....regardless if she read the invitation and played trashcan b-ball with it.

  • It is thought Morrissey is jetting in from Los Angeles next week to talk with the shows producers.

    Funny, and here I thought he was jetting in for his two shows at the Albert Hall. I suppose they'd say he added them as an afterthought since he was going to be there anyway for such an important meeting.

  • I think it would be great if only to facilitate a meeting between Louis Theroux and Moz, which would hopefully lead to a 'Louis meets...Moz'. The Jimmy Saville, and Hamilton ones were class.
    'And your sexuality?...no..no...er.. you're not going to reveal it? some people...er..might think that's..mm.(*rubs chin*).a..sort of..erm "cop-out", wouldn't you say?'

    I Can't wait!

  • He'd probably think "How soon is now?" while being the first one voted off.
