Estelle’s cringeworthy skater profile

"Hate for people who are gay"

Day 2
Posted on

Yikes. In 2012 you really need to lock down your online profiles if you’re going into the Big Brother house.

Our forum users have uncovered a profile for skater girl Estelle on a skateboarding website where she includes the information:

Hate for: People who are gay ( im so politically correct you will be afraid )

In the launch show she told host Sonia Kruger she “hates homophobes” and sits “in the middle” politically. We’re not sure if her profile is referring to gay people or simply using ‘gay’ as a negative term, but it makes for some uncomfortable reading.

Other details from her profile are below (we don’t know what it all means because we don’t speak Skater), plus some photos:

Name: Stell aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr aka Stunner, stellzor, bella, Shooes, pointy
Resides: Country town out of Melbourne.
Most Likely Seen: Riverside or on a Horse.
Board: Aesthetics 7.65′ Clyde, Ventures and shit.
Age: 18 ( now 20! )
Height: 5’9ft
Hate for: People who are gay ( im so politically correct you will be afraid )

So much love!! For Suzi and my crew ? TMP!!! ? ( super mc old school lovin)

Celebrity Big Brother returns?

Official site gaffe, comedian's tweet removed

Day 1
Posted on

As the official site goes completely live this evening there have been a number of launch bugs – as to be expected with any website launch – but one particular gaffe has caught our eye.

At time of writing, the HTML title field for housemate profile pages reads “<Name> | Celebrity Big Brother | Big Brother Australia”.

Adding fuel to the fire, comedian Scott Dooley posted on Twitter over the weekend: “I’ve been asked to do celebrity Big Brother, I qualify because I’m an unemployed & not a celebrity.” The tweet has since been removed, but Google’s cache has a copy.

Australia has seen one season of Celebrity Big Brother before, back in 2002. D-list celebrity housemates included Red Symons, Anthony Mundine, Warwick Capper, Adriana Xenides and others.
