1. Big Brother -- Celebrity Big Brother
   Fresh from the successful Big Night at the Araneta Coliseum last Saturday, the Celebrity Big Four meet the press to share their experiences in the recently concluded Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2. Will, Gaby, Riza, and Big Winner Ruben spill the beans on the fun, challenges, intrigues, learnings, and most of all, their victory in the top-rating reality show.
2. Jack Dee -- Celebrity Big Brother
   Jack Dee is quite literally buttoned up: he is wearing a T-shirt, a polo shirt and a hefty leather jacket on a warm autumn day. He is ... so deadpan it is hard to know what on earth he's really thinking. Known best for perfecting the grumpy side of sardonic in his stand-up comedy and on Celebrity Big Brother, Dee has the disconcerting habit of meeting questions and statements with long, level "mmmms". It is impossible to say whether he is signalling agreement or vehement disagreement.
3. Big Brother -- Big Brother Vip
   Big Brother VIP is the name of the special edition of the show, in which all the housemates are only famous people. It has been released in many of the countries airing Big Brother, for example Bulgaria - VIP Brother; Mexico - Big Brother VIP; UK - Celebrity Big Brother. The duration of the show is often only a month and in some countries the nominations and evictions are twice a week. Sometimes the big prize is given for charity or there is no big prize at all.
4. Big Brother -- Big Brother House
   Big Brother is a reality television format. In each series, which lasts for around three months, a number of people (normally fewer than fifteen at any one time) live together full-time in a "Big Brother House", isolated from the outside world but under the continuous gaze of television cameras. The housemates try to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic, usually publicly-voted, evictions from the house. The "real life soap" was invented by the Dutchman John de Mol and developed by his production company, Endemol. It has been a prime-time hit in almost 70 different countries. The show's name comes from George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, in which Big Brother is the all-seeing leader of the dystopian Oceania.
5. Big -- Big Brothers Big Sisters
   Big Brothers Big Sisters, BigBrothersBigSisters.org, is the largest youth mentoring organization in the United States. With more than 400 affiliates across all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Guam, it served 242,000 children in 2006 -- more than twice the number of five years ago. Independent research shows that its model of professionally supported one-to-one relationships between young people and their Big Brothers and Big Sisters has a measurable, positive impact. Children in the program are less likely to skip school, begin using alcohol and illegal drugs, and be involved in violence. Big Brothers Big Sisters works with policymakers and community leaders across the country to expand access to mentoring for children in need. The organization is currently focusing on recruiting Big Brothers, especially African-Americans and Hispanics.
6. 1984 -- Big Brother
   Other big news in 1984 was the introdution of an AOD / CFI equipped GT. In mid-year, an optional 165 horsepower 5.0L engine with central fuel injection and a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission was offered with a 3.27:1 axle ratio. The 175 HP 4V version carried over from 1983 was available only with the T-5 equipped transmission. The 4V 5-speed was available with a 3.08:1 axle ratio.
7. The Big Finish
   The Big Finish was an entertainment special presented by Graham Norton. It was a 90 minute show where five teams of celebrities (with two celebs on each team) went head to head in a quiz that celebrated the finest moments of 2007, covering sport, news, entertainment, TV and music.
8. Big Boy

9. The Big Apple
   The Big Apple is a nickname or moniker for New York City, although most New Yorkers do not use it frequently. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due to a promotional campaign by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau.
10. The Chemical Brothers
    English electronic duo The Chemical Brothers are widely credited as the godfathers of the big beat sound. Both members-Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons-shared an enduring passion for sample-heavy American hip hop records and electronic-leaning English bands like New Order and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Both boys graduated with respectable degrees, the went on to keep dance floors and festival fields tweaked out and writhing with a groundbreaking procession of big beat singles and albums. Originally DJing under The Beastie Boys inspired name The Dust Brothers, the duo spent 1994 spinning records at the highly influential party Heavenly Seventeen Social Club at London's Albany Pub. The trendy dance night got them tons of remix work for bands like Republica and The Sandals as well as giving them a chance to develop their distinct, hip hop influenced beats and make connections with savvy celebrities like Oasis' Noel Gallagher. After touring the US on a groundbreaking electronic tour with Oribital and Underworld, they were forced by the US production duo The Dust Brothers to change their name to The Chemical Brothers, inspired by one of their first original singles "Chemical Beats." Their debut album Exit Planet Dust was an inspired collection of massive beats and crunchy synthesizers.
