It was Christy from BB05, I believe, who coined the phrase "confliction", and I'm feeling much Big Brother-related confliction at this latest BB rumour: apparently Steve Carell may be entering the Big Brother House.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't BB intruder spots generally reserved for nonentities and those whose careers are either in or looking forward to a spell in the toilet?

The plot may or may not thicken:

"It is a rumour," a Ten spokesperson told Confidential yesterday. "It's unconfirmed.

"There's always a chance but it's just a rumour at this stage."

Rumours have been swirling for weeks a superstar guest would inject some serious ratings gunpowder into the current series of Big Brother.

Carell is the obvious pick given he and co-star Anne Hathaway will be on the Gold Coast this Sunday to promote their new film Get Smart.

"Serious ratings gunpowder"? What, so they're looking for something to blow the ratings to smithereens and leave it nothing but a pile of smoking, faintly bloody ash? Top work, Channel Ten!

Each year, Big Brother thrusts intruders into the house to "shake things up", "stir the pot" and other catchphrases used over and over to an excruciating degree, and 2007 is no exception. Therefore, Defamer Australia would like to introduce you to this year's devilish intruder twosome - Laura and Daniela.

Here's what we know about 'em.

Name: LAURA
Age: 20
State: TAS
Occupation: ‘RECEPTIONIST'

Laura's a Greeny. Not a little bit green. She's capital letters GREEN. Her mission in life is simple. She's here to save the world. No surprise then her hero is Sir Bob Geldof. Laura hates wearing shoes. Has almost no possessions. And, is a great limbo dancer. This year's ‘green' Big Brother House could just be her ideal home

A GREAT LIMBO DANCER, YOU SAY? OH WE WILL BE TUNING IN "EN MASSE"! Actually, Laura sounds alright. Sort of. But it's going to take a preeeetty special introduction promo clip to win our hearts fully tomorrow night as we are not cheap, you know.

Name: DANIELA
Age: 24
State: WA
Occupation: HOSPITALITY

Born in Brazil, Daniela has a hot-blooded & flirtatious Latin temperament. She says the topic she knows more about than anything else is ‘how to be a sexy woman'. She dances a mean salsa. Is a really bad surfer. And, used to be a trapeze artist & juggler in a circus. There's no safety net in the Big Brother House and that's just the way Daniela likes it.

"How to be a sexy woman" is a wonderful topic, and we can't wait to see Daniela move on from the Big Brother house to an appearance on Jeopardy! where she will no doubt dominate, like a Harry M. Miller-supported Rosie Perez. Also, salsa sounds charming. Combined with Laura's limbo skills, and the house is going to turn into a veritable cruise ship of fun!

Their addition to the household had better go some way into improving the show or we are going to get violent soon.
