Coolio set to star in UK�s Big Brother

Here I was thinking that it was only has-beens that starred in UK reality shows, and now we�ve only gone and snagged rap star Coolio for the next series of UK�s Celebrity Big Brother.

Coolio will joing a group of (has-been) celebrity contestants in the Big Brother house where he will take part in challenges in order to win food and treats for his fellow housemates.

But the Gangsta�s Parade singer is no stranger to TV, as he stars in the wonderfully original *ahem* Coolio's Rules, a U.S. programme which follows him as he tries to juggle his career as a musician, his catering business and being a single parent of four.

Although no line-up has been confirmed just yet, there are whispers that pint-sized actor Verne Troyer, will also been having a holiday in the house this January. Fun times ahead then.

Lets just hope it�s not another jade Goody vs. Shilpa Shetty debacle.
