Linda Cardellini
 Another
big break for Cardellini came when she landed one of the
starring roles in the NBC series Freaks and Geeks, which debuted
during the 1999-2000 season. As Lindsay Weir, an honor student
in the midst of an identity crisis, the actress earned positive
response that subsequently catapulted her fame. In 2002,
Cardellini starred in the live-action adaption of Scooby-Doo, in
which she brought to life the cartoon character of Velma Dinkley.
She would later reprise the role of Velma in 2004's Scooby-Doo
2: Monsters Unleashed. In 2003, she joined the cast of the
hospital drama ER as Samantha Taggart, a free-spirited nurse.
Her other film work includes roles in Dead Man on Campus,
Legally Blonde, Brokeback Mountain, and a starring role in Happy
Madison's Grandma's Boy as Samantha. She was also the voice of
the heroine Ursula in the role-playing video game, Gladius.
Celebrity Big
Brother
Celebrity Big Brother 2007 was the fifth series of the United
Kingdom reality television series Celebrity Big Brother, a spin-off
of Big Brother. The series was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK
(also on S4C in Wales), and involved a number of celebrities
referred to as 'housemates', who live in the Big Brother House
with no contact with the outside world. In recent series, the
show's producers have offered celebrities money to appear on
Celebrity Big Brother.
Celebrity Big Brother 2007 started on 3 January 2007, and ran
for 26 days. The launch show peaked at 8.2 million viewers,
making it the second most-watched launch in Big Brother history.
It was the first Celebrity Big Brother series to be shown in the
16:9 widescreen format and the final Celebrity series to be held
in the Elstree compound with the regular series later in the
year being the final one overall.
