Ulrika Jonsson wins 2009 Celebrity Big Brother

Former weather girl Ulrika Jonsson’s victory in the 2009 Celebrity Big Brother is the biggest shock in the history of reality TV. A lot of people, including Jonsson herself, did not expect her to win and Jonsson was even predicting earlier that she would be the first housemate who would be evicted from the Big Brother House. With a 56.7% share of the final vote, Jonsson was able to beat music journalist Terry Christian with 43.3% voting share and US rapper Coolio. The 41-year old Jonsson said her stay inside Big Brother’s house was one of the weirdest experiences in her life. She said she did not expect to win since her housemates found her bossy and she is not at all surprised about that because even her husband tells her that all the time. However, she could not help herself considering she has four kids in the house who has to take care of organization. In fact, she said, she would be mortified if she is kept inside by the voters saying she wanted to go home already to be with her children.

Obama Inauguration day tickets priced at $50,000, Matt Damon refused to pay

Matt Damon did not witness the inauguration day ceremony of the new President of the United States of America because he was not willing to pay the $50,000 for two tickets, the cost of tickets to see Obama take the oath. Matt had taken keen part in Obama’s election campaign and hoped his efforts would help him get tickets. But that was not to be.

He says, “When I called my contacts from the campaign, they just started laughing: ‘We worked on the campaign for two and a half years, and we’re not going. Forget it.’ Then, they called me back the next day and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got two tickets for you, in the bleachers, and you’ll actually be able to see Obama take the oath. Just $25,000 apiece.”

I’d say that’s a real good decision that he and his wife have made, they have 3 kids to support and $50,000 is really expensive to watch history being made. I think Matt would need to be cast in a couple expensive budget movies like ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ and the others to have enough money to spend on such things people would never give a miss otherwise.
