“Big Brother” housemate Jeff Schroeder ranted last night that Harry Potter character Dumbledore shouldn’t be allowed near children because he’s homosexual.

“He’s in a school with little kids, you can’t make that guy gay!” Schroeder yelled at fellow cast member Kalia Booker after Dumbledore’s sexuality came up.

He continued, “It isn’t right to have it in a little kids book, and have the headmaster locked away in this magical land [be] gay. That isn’t the right kind of writing to do.”

Booker replied, “Why? Gay men can’t work with little kids?”

The heated exchange was seen during a live Internet feed from the house.

NBC is launching a new singing competition show to rival “American Idol” and “The X Factor.”

“The Voice of America” will debut this spring, with casting already underway.

Reality TV mogul Mark Burnett, the man behind “Survivor” and “The Apprentice,” is teaming with John de Mol, who created the “Voice” format in the Netherlands and has also had a hand in behemoths like “Big Brother” and “Fear Factor.”

The show features a panel of four coaches who have had careers as recording artists. During auditions, the coaches sit with their backs to the contestants so they can hear (but not see) them.

If a coach likes a performance, he or she pushes a button to send the contestant into the next round, and also claims that contestant as one of his or her “students.”

Once the teams of coaches and contestants are set, they will perform against each other and be subject to viewers’ votes.

“Somebody will show up with all the right moves and look like a star, but their voice is only good, not great, and they don’t get chose. You’re dealing only with your sense of hearing – do you believe this voice is worthy of your commitment?” Burnett explains.

“The coaches have skin in the game and will be a part of the careers of these young performers after the show.”

So far, no coaches have been named.

Once again, Perez Hilton has taken a ridiculous report about Lindsay Lohan, refused to waste precious time checking facts, and then spun the tale to make it sound likely.

Yesterday, “Scoop” Hilton picked up a story from the Sun that claimed Lohan has been “tapped… to appear in the upcoming season of [the British version of] Celebrity Big Brother!!!” He added, “producers were reportedly discussing the details with LOLhan in Singapore this week.”

First of all, it’s not happening. Lohan is not doing the reality show. Moreover, she was NEVER “discussing” the details with producers. Lohan’s rep told Gossip Cop that the show’s execs “have been calling and emailing her whole team, and it has been a pass. This is a tacky way to get cheap publicity.”

Unfortunately their publicity stunt worked because Hilton and other equally unreliable sources reprinted this nonsense.
