Lindsay Lohan will be “stepping inside the Celebrity Big Brother house,” reports the Daily Mail.

According to the British tab, producers of the U.K. version of the show “have already flown to LA for business meetings” with Lohan, who is “close to signing on the dotted line.”

The paper goes on to claim, “Crew members have already started shooting background footage of her in preparation for the next series in January.”

What’s more, says the Daily Mail, “Television bosses will persuade the courts to let Lohan to come to the UK by claiming the show will help to clean up her act.

“We hope that the courts will make a special allowance in this case,” says a so-called “insider,” adding, “There aren’t many more controlled environments than the Big Brother house.”

Besides the fact that the U.S. courts don’t give a darn about British TV producers who are trying to boost their entertainment shows’ ratings, the story is completely bogus.

When Gossip Cop asked Lohan whether she was in negotiations to appear on “Celebrity Big Brother,” she told us exclusively “no”

If this rumor sounds vaguely familiar, there’s good reason.

More than two years ago, Gossip Cop busted a strikingly similar story that emanated from a British tab, which said Lohan was in talks to appear on “Celebrity Big Brother.”

Hmm…

We have a feeling we’ll be correcting this same story again… in 2013.

Charlie Sheen will star on the upcoming season of “Celebrity Big Brother,” reports the Daily Star, which says the actor has signed a $10 million deal to appear on the U.K. reality show.

The outlet writes that Sheen is “due to jet to Britain in the next two weeks” to begin filming the series.

According to the paper, “Bosses are convinced Sheen’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ involvement will make it ‘unmissable TV.’”

A so-called television “insider” explains, “No one would want to miss the chance of seeing what he’s up to and hear the wacky things he’s saying. And let’s face it, he’s been saying some crazy stuff recently.”

But while it’s true that the former “Two and a Half Men” star’s appearance on the show would attract high ratings, everything else about this story is FALSE.

A rep for Sheen tells Gossip Cop that reports of him joining “Big Brother” are ”totally untrue.”

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.
