Big Brother winner Chloe Wilburn certainly isn't letting her newfound fame go to her head, as she's returned to her old 9 to 5 job as an administrator at a construction company.
Despite picking up £116,100 when she was crowned 2015's winner, the 25-year-old said that she never had any "intention of chasing fame" or being "a Z-lister".
She told The Mirror: "I'm not interested in being a celebrity. When I went in there I was so surprised at how many people had agents and were planning what they were going to do as a career on the back of Big Brother.
"I would see being on the show as more of a hindrance to a career then a leg up so I think a lot of them are in for a short, sharp shock."
Wilburn added that she was always going to return to work, and treated her time in the Elstree...

The Big Brother housemates have reacted after the Cash Bomb nominations.
In highlights airing tonight (July 5), Sam Kay, Harry Amelia Martin, Nick Henderson and Jack McDermott are nominated and will therefore face eviction.
The latest Time Bomb twist forced housemates to nominate each other, as the £150,000 winner's prize fund was gradually dropping.
Cristian was the one who nominated Nick, but Harry takes issue with the reason he gave, believing that he is implying she is somehow bullying Nick.
Chloe is also angry at Jack after she tried to signal to him to nominate her. They only had the option to nominate each other, but were both reluctant before Sam intervened and chose Jack.
Jack and Chloe do clear the air later, and Jack comments: "It shows we're true friends that neither of us pressed it."
Jack also asks Nick why he didn't act to save himself during the task. Nick...

Big Brother's Sam Kay, Harry Amelia Martin, Nick Henderson and Jack McDermott are facing eviction next week.
In the latest Time Bomb twist - Cash Bomb - the £150,000 winner's prize was gradually dropping, but to stop it meant nominating a housemate for eviction as well as making themselves immune from being nominated.
Joel Williams nominated Sam, Danny Wisker went for Harry, Cristian Mjc picked Nick and Sam chose Jack.
This means Joel, Danny and Cristian were all safe from being nominated. After some rule-breaking, meanwhile, the prize fund is currently standing at £48,400.
The Cash Bomb challenge saw a big red button placed in the middle of the living room and the prize fund – initially standing at £150,000 - on the plasma.
Big Brother dropped the money on his say-so. To stop the money from going down, a housemate pushed the button.

Big Brother has already announced which housemates face the public vote: Harry Amelia Martin, Jack McDermott, Marc O'Neill and Sam Kay are in danger of getting evicted this week. But now we've been treated to all of the details of who nominated whom, so read on to find out...
Jack
Jack nominated Marc, saying: "I feel he adds a level of discomfort. He's trying to manipulate people and I don't feel comfortable when I'm with him in a room." He also chose Sam, saying: "She doesn't think about others. I don't think she cares about others."
Harry
Harry's first nomination was for Sam, as she explained: "I don't know where I stand with her. She does not show a lot of loyalty." She also chose Jack, saying: "I feel he has been very, very grumpy and has been quite short with me."
Marc

Harry Amelia Martin, Marc O'Neill, Sam Kay and Jack McDermott face eviction from the Big Brother house this week.
The housemates nominated in the Diary Room yesterday, although guest Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace picked her targets face to face alongside Nick Henderson, who always has to vote in public thanks to the Time Bomb he chose on the first night.
Big Brother announced the results of the vote today, confirming that the foursome will face eviction on Friday (July 3).
Harry insisted that she didn't mind being nominated, saying: "I don't know why everyone's hugging me. I'm not arsed."
Someone who very much did seem to be "arsed" was Jack, who repeatedly told everyone that he was "fine" but then added: "I trust no-one now... I know who's nominated me. I'm not stupid."
Big Brother airs daily on Channel 5.

The 75-year-old horse-racing pundit took part in the 2005 series of 'Celebrity Big Brother', and is making a return to the show as part of the latest 'Time Bomb' twist, as the Borehamwood house is set to be transformed into the 'Hotel From Hell', in which a number of former 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemates will be popping in over the next week.

Warning: This story contains spoilers about the result of this week's shopping task.
Big Brother housemate Adjoa Mensah has had another little cry after struggling with life in the bungalow.
Adjoa had faced a tough night in The Hole before finding out that the group had failed the shopping task, which secretly required Chloe Wilburn to persuade the other housemates to leave The Hole.
After admitting that she was "so disappointed" about the result of the task, Adjoa went to the Diary Room to confide in Big Brother about the fact that she is struggling in the house.
"It's like hell," she said. "I feel and look like s**t."
As she began to cry, Adjoa went on to list the difficulties she has faced in the house - from facing a Time Bomb in the launch night twist, to being nominated, to the public's negative opinion of her according to the recent survey task.

This week on The CW’s Arrow, Nyssa al Ghul aimed to exact justice in the murder of the woman she loved, but Oliver kept getting in her (and Laurel’s) way. Meanwhile, Malcolm apparently also gave Thea acting lessons, because she very ably played the role of the mild-mannered bar boss.
In short, I will say that I wasn’t wild about this episode, and I suspect it’s because the “murder mystery” surrounding Sara’s death isn’t a terribly compelling one. Sure, it returned Nyssa to the canvas and has lit a fire under Laurel (pushing her...

This week on The CW’s The Flash, a warm visit from Felicity could barely offset the cold reception Barry got from a new nemesis.
This episode, as the headline suggests, was cool for three reasons.

Felicity crossed over from Arrow to check in on her lightning-struck, once-comatose friend Barry, sure, but also to obviously see if their “spark” was still there, or if it ever was. This made all the sense in the world given the “break-up” Felicity and Oliver went through in the other show’s season opener, that she would test the waters to see...

If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.
In the mood for some breakdancing? Because Jimmy Fallon and Brad Pitt (oh, and Brad Pitt's mustache) served up some serious moves during "The Tonight Show." To be honest, it was even more amazing that the iconic 80s legend that is "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo." That's right, we went there.
Shailene Woodley also hit up "The Tonight Show" to play a brand new game with Jimmy: Pumpkin Time Bomb. Their mission? To place a bunch of rubber bands around a pumpkin until it explodes. And fear not, Shailene was given protective eyewear.
Selena Gomez stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to chat about a super-important worldly issue: selfies.

There are so many movies out there that it’s not so surprising we feel like we’ve pretty much seen it all. Some movies will without a care in the world dredge up a familiar plot device to propel themselves forward, resting on tried and tested formula that now nevertheless seems extremely trite and lazy.
These devices might have seemed fresh and exciting the first fifty times they were employed, but now, they’re just irritants and can often result in a groaning audience during an otherwise enjoyable film.
Though it’s hard to choose just 10, I’ve narrowed it down to the 10 I find the most head-smackingly overused. Let’s get on with the list…
10. Ticking Time Bomb

Not many bands can draw a crowd from so many generations. From 6 year olds in banners bigger than they are to teens with My Chemical Romance tattoos to middle age punks with Bad Religion jackets they are all being represented here today.
All Time Low are essentially a Blink 182 tribute band to the kids who were too young for the three piece. Their perky pop with guitars is entertaining enough although unoriginal. The more upbeat ‘Time Bomb’ and ‘Lost In Stereo’ go down best in a half empty stadium. Jack Barakat, per usual, lowers the tone with butt and your mum jokes and it just feels unnecessary and a tad creepy.
With a back catalogue like the Kaiser Chiefs it’s hard to not get a crowd singing. Ricky Wilson is on form running from corner to corner of the stage and up the frame work like a hyperactive child.

A Man Who Couldn’T Tell If He Was Dead Or Alive
Okay. So the first fifteen minutes of the movie “Villain” are nothing to gawk at. Frankly, not much is happening at this point. It starts off with a trio of young women having a bite to eat. One of them, Yoshino, seems more overt than the other two and isn’t shy to tell her friends about the prospect of meeting her dream hunk, Keigo, later on that very night.
They finish their meal, split up, and Yoshino ( Hikari Mitsushima ) appears to make her way to the rendez-vous point. Along the way, she stumbles upon another potential suitor, Yuichi ( Satoshi Tsumabuki ), whom she found on an online dating site. He’s waiting in his parked white Gt-r when she crosses path with hunk #1.
Yoshino decides to shun mad motorist Yuichi in favour of her beau Keigo and leaves the scene with the latter.

But he’ll finally face the, um, chopping block in tonight’s episode of NBC’s Chicago Fire, which has the guest star playing a construction worker trapped beneath a collapsed building and forced to choose between life and, quite literally, limb.

There’s something to be said about a series that can tease its highly anticipated final season by using nothing but previously seen footage, and that’s exactly what Breaking Bad is doing for Season 5. It doesn’t need to show us anything new because we all know that it’s going to be the greatest thing on TV, which has been true for every preceding season as well. The old stuff is intense enough to sell how crazy and heart stopping Season 5 will be. It also means AMC is saving the good stuff for when the show finally premieres July 15th.

Yes, the world knows Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller, but Pittsburgh has a wealth of hip-hop talent. With the Steel City's two breakout stars already accounted for, MTV News took a trip to the 'Burgh to see who's got next.
"A lot of people are talented. There are just a million talented people out there," Miller told MTV News when he took us on a tour through his hometown in December.
Acts like Boaz, Chevy Woods, B White and Mayo of the 58's, Jabari X and Varsity Squad have been repping Pittsburgh locally for some time now, and while Mac supports all the city's homegrown talent, if he had to pick one act to break out nationwide, it would be the Come Up,...

In the TV Fanatic offices, we share Brandon’s open door policy. With that in mind, I feel it is my obligation, as a Christian man, to be straight with you about this week’s episode of Survivor, "Ticking Time Bomb."
It stunk.
Disappointingly, I don’t think it is going to get any better next week, either. If what seems to be the core trio of Coach, Albert and Sophie were not going to vote out Brandon this week, why would they do so next Wednesday?
There’s no reason to do so. He’s not bright enough to see that he’s number-four in the alliance. Instead, they’ll send Rick home and then calmly vote out Brandon the following week.
Not only is Brandon blind to his place on the tribe, he wouldn’t be able to see the writing on the wall if someone tried to tell him all about it.

"Something is about to happen," Dismemberment Plan frontman Travis Morrison told the crowd at Webster Hall on Saturday night (January 29) as he walked back on stage for his band's encore. The people instantly knew what was up, as the time had come for the cult favorites to tuck into "The Ice of Boston," one of the weirdest, most anthemic singalongs to come out of the emo genre. This particular anthem — the highlight of any Dismemberment Plan show and the climax of all the performances on their brief reunion tour — always came with an impressive stunt, as the band invited the first few rows of devotees onto the stage with them to shout along with the narrative about getting a call from your mom when you're drunk on New Year's Eve.
It was simultaneously thrilling and surreal, which sums up most of the band's catalog. Formed in Washington, D.C. over a decade-and-a-half ago,...

It seems these days that an “original” idea is nothing more than a synthesis of established genres. Take Time Bomb from the creators Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray (Freedom Fighters, Power Girl) and artist Paul Gulacy (Jonah Hex) of which issue #2 is released today. Combining time-traveling sci-fi appeal of works like Stargate or Dr. Who with historical fiction, Palmiotti and Gray are betting that the sum of science and history will be greater than the parts.

He may not be swinging with Spider-Man any longer, but Sam Raimi is hardly lacking for work. He's hardly snubbing the geek genre world either, as Variety announced that he's signed on to direct Earp: Saints for Sinners for DreamWorks and Radical Studios.
Saints for Sinners is based on the upcoming graphic novel Earp: Saints for Sinners that's being published by Radical Comics. More details of the graphic novel are going to be unveiled this week at ComicCon, but Variety describes it as a sci-fi western. And yes, it does star Wyatt Earp, or at least a modern day incarnation of him. This Earp battles outlaws in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the only bit of civilization left is in Las Vegas. It sounds like it could be The Stand meets Tombstone, crossed with Raimi's The Quick and the Dead and beloved Evil Dead series.
Radical Publishing has been in the news a lot this summer.
