Kim Kardashian’s ex and co-star in infamous X-rated video Ray-J latest in talks for Celebrity Big Brother 2017
Channel 5 bosses are hoping the rapper will sign up for show's next season and expose details about his relationship with the reality TV star beauty
REALITY star JONATHAN CHEBAN, most famous for his friendship with KIM KARDASHIAN, failed to dish the dirt on his pal this year in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
But the Kardashian klan’s best-kept secrets are yet again at risk of being exposed on the Channel 5 series by another one of the star’s closest connections.
I can reveal that Kim’s ex-boyfriend RAY J is in talks to become one of the All Stars series’ new contestants.
And bosses are hoping that SNOOP DOGG’s cousin will tell all about Kim, including the full story of their infamous sex tape.
A CBB source said: “Bosses are over the moon with how the negotiations are going.
“Kim is one of the biggest celebrities in the world and they were never going to get her but booking Ray J means they’ll get someone with proper insight into what goes on behind closed doors.
“He was right by her side as she shot to fame because of their sex tape so they are hoping he will talk openly about their relationship and reveal lots of new things about her while in the house.”
Ray J is not afraid of leaking shocking information on Kim to his fans as he has a history of revealing intimate details about his ex-girlfriend.
Last month, the American singer, whose likeness was used as a nude wax figure in her husband KANYE WEST’s Famous video, dropped an X-rated diss track about Kim the day after Kanye had been taken to hospital.
Ray J teamed up with CHRIS BROWN for a track, also titled Famous, which delivered a scathing attack on his former flame and referenced their infamous sex tape.
In one hard-hitting verse, he sings: “Look her in the eyes. She was the first one to sign on the line. She was the real one to plan it all out.”

Similarly, Ray J came under fire at the beginning of this year for discussing Kim’s private parts in graphic detail.
Kim and the rest of the Kardashians won’t be best pleased with this signing.
Holmes at home
SHERLOCK’S BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH was delighted to share the screen with his actor parents in 2014.
But there have been problems since WANDA VENTHAM and TIMOTHY CARLTON played the detective’s mum and dad.
Benedict has revealed his mum keeps calling him Sherlock after watching so many episodes of him.
He said: “It’s just slightly hard for mum sometimes when she turns round and says, ‘Sherlock’ and then I can see her brain going, ‘erm – ’ and she says Sherlock again. That happens a lot.”
Benedict says he has also been ticked off by her after shooting the BBC series because he slips into Holmes’ rude behaviour at home.
He said: “I do get affected by it. There’s a sense of being impatient.
“My mum says I’m much curter with her when I’m filming Sherlock.”
Probably after she has called him the wrong name again.
SOAPBOX
In EASTENDERS Ronnie’s wedding is fast approaching.
But don’t worry about seating plans and floral arrangements, this bride-to-be is cooking up secret plans with her sister Roxy. Although things aren’t quite going to plan. Roxy still hasn’t made amends with Jack and when she’s asked to look after Ricky and Amy alone, she messes it up. In EMMERDALE Kerry heads out on a singles’ night. But as she tries to flirt with Tommy to make Dan jealous, she ends up drunkenly embarrassing herself. Elsewhere Chrissie is cross that Rebecca has invited most of the village over for a New Year’s Eve party. Sounds like a fun bash . . .
Back together with James
HE has a great time making it, but JAMES MAY admits he is shocked that people watch The Reassembler.
James confessed he was worried people would think he had gone bonkers when he launched the BBC4 series, which sees him slowly and methodically putting different objects back together.
He said: “I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to just get ripped to shreds for this for being a nerd.’ But actually, a surprising number of people did like it.
“I’m fiddling with my screwdriver and spanners and thinking of things I can relate to it, like a book I read or a weird thought I had.
“It’s complete rubbish, but if people like to listen to rubbish then that’s tremendous.”
An average of one million viewers tuned in to the first series shown earlier this year.
And he has more ambitious plans if the second one goes well. It kicked off last night with him tackling a toy train set.
He said: “I’d like to have a team of people doing it. We could try putting together a light aircraft or a small boat.”
Now that really would be slow TV.
