As the start date for BB12 approaches, remember to come back to WeLoveBigBrother.com for Big Brother 12 during the summer of 2010!

Less than a week before the two-hour finale of “Big Brother 11,” CBS is already making plans for Big Brother 12. The network announced today it has ordered another edition of the hit reality series for broadcast in the summer 2010.

The three-times-a-week series has once again turned into a summer sensation, growing its audience both on-air and online for the CBS Television Network and CBS Interactive platforms.

BIG BROTHER 11 is one of only a handful of programs to post growth in its 10th season. Compared to last summer, BIG BROTHER 11 is up +7% in viewers (7.08m from 6.60m), +4% in adults 18-49 (2.5/08 from 2.4/07) and +5% in adults 18-34 (2.0/07 from 1.9/06). Each of the three weekly broadcasts are also posting summer-to-summer growth.

Online, BIG BROTHER 11 is the Number One show on CBS.com and across the CBS Audience Network in all key metrics with 25% more unique users and 94% more video streams than last summer. CBS.com also logged a record 11.6 million votes when Jeff was awarded the “Coup d’etat” Power.

BIG BROTHER concludes its 11th edition with a special two-hour LIVE finale and reunion show, hosted by Julie Chen, next Tuesday, Sept. 15 (9:00-11:00 PM ET/delayed PT) as the Final Three (Jordan, Kevin and Natalie) face off for the $500,000 grand prize.

Big Brother 9 Winner Adam Jasinski Charged with Dealing Drugs

Brian Scheffler — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:28:21 +0000

Adam “Baller” Jasinski, the winner of Big Brother 9, was arrested Saturday, October 17, 2009 and was charged with possession of oxycodone with the intent to sell. He could face a 20 years in prison.

According to FOX 25, Adam Jasinski flew to Florida carrying 2,000 pills of oxycodone. After being arrested Saturday, the U.S. District Court charged Jasinski on Tuesday with possession of oxycodone pills with the intent to distribute. He will be held in custody until his next hearing on Thursday.

FOX 25 reports:

Authorities say in court papers that Jasinski had nearly 2,000 oxycodone pills on him when he flew from his home in Delray Beach, Florida to Logan Airport. A Massachusetts man arrested for allegedly dealing drugs earlier this month picked him up at the airport. The two then drove to a strip mall parking lot in North Reading to allegedly complete the deal, but DEA agents busted him there.

Authorities say Jasinski, whose nickname is â€œBaller,â€ flew into Massachusetts with drugs hiding in his pants. Jasinski allegedly confessed that he had been selling thousands of oxycodone pills all along the East Cost over the past several months, and had been funding his enterprise with the $500,000 price he won from the â€œBig Brother Season 9â€ show.

If convicted, Jasinski faces up to 20 years imprisonment and a $1 million fine.

Stay tuned as we learn more.
