MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON GLUED TO CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER

MICHAEL JACKSON is addicted to watching his brother JERMAINE's antics on British reality show CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER, according to his friend DAVID GEST. Jermain has wowed British audiences with his laid back style and easy going charm since going into the house earlier this month (JAN07) - and Gest says that Michael is hoping his brother wins in tonight's (28JAN07) televised final. Gest himself became a reality TV star after appearing in the British I'M A CELEBRITY... GET ME OUT OF HERE! late last year (06). He says, "Jermaine's doing brilliantly. Michael is in Ireland and he's glued to the show. "He thinks it's hilarious that Jermaine is in the Big Brother house. He can't believe that he agreed to take part and was like that with me too. "But he thinks Jermaine is doing very well. He's very proud."
