Corey Worthington is set to further his celebrity status by joining the Australian Big Brother series of 2008. Not a stranger of controversy, the teen first made world headlines when he threw an out of control party which ended in police chaos and international media coverage.
Entering the BB house as an intruder, Worthington wasted no time in playing pranks. The loud-mouthed teen hid from ‘grandmother’ housemate Terri after other housemates told her that Corey had jumped the fence.
Corey’s presence on the show has been met with mixed reactions. On entering the house, Corey was faced with both cheers and boos. Teen mental health specialist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg has criticized Channel 10 for allowing the 17 year old to participate in an adult TV program. Dr Carr-Gregg even went as far as labeling the stunt as an act of child abuse, blaming Worthington’s parents and Channel 10 producers.
It is reported that Corey participated in the show in an attempt to change the public’s negative opinion of the Queensland teenager. Good luck kid.
What does the young man have to say for himself....?
(TREND HUNTER) So the kid has a party and acts as either a legend or knob on Australian TV. These quickly turns Corey Worthington into a Z list celebrity almost instantly - as already covered in two parts on Trend Hunter. However a very amusing part three is the merchandise being developed - but not by Corey, I ha… [More]
"I’ve got a real good personality when you get to know me. I’m easy to get to know. I’d never backstab anyone - I’m good to all my mates and stuff like that. Definitely kind to the ladies, I’m probably one of the kindest and I can say that telling the truth, I am. When guys argue with girls, I always step in. Even if I don’t know the girl, I’ll step in straight away . I just hate girls getting hurt and stuff. I’ve just always been like that."
Do you think people’s opinion of you is fair?
Not really. I guess ‘cause they don’t really know the real me so they just judge what they seen on the interview.
Why do you want to go into the BB House?
I dunno, I thought it’d be a good opportunity, a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity definitely and it might be a bit of fun so why not?
Are you looking forward to the public getting to know you?
Yes that’s one of the reasons I said straightaway yes to go in. Because then I can change people’s opinion of me to hopefully ‘good’. And so people can see what I’m really like in everyday life… Just the same as everyone else really. Just sometimes good, sometimes bad, whatever.
How has your life changed in the last year?
Um, last year? A fair bit. It’s changed with a lot of stuff, like all this kind of stuff.
Why all the attention?
It might’ve been because I’ve had a fair bit of attitude maybe on the [interview], and maybe because I wouldn’t take off the sunnies.
What’s been the hardest thing to deal with?
People just in the streets yelling. People just jealous over it and stuff like that. People tryin’ to start fights and stuff like that. Yeah people like look at me and like, ‘Is that him? Or is that not him?’ They’re not a hundred percent sure. There’s generally a few people who will yell out stuff if they actually do recognise me and that’s about it. They’ve all got their own opinions I guess. They can say what they want about me. There’s no point in them getting me down.
Where did you get your sunnies?
I went to the beach in Frankston – this was probably about a year ago – and it was hot-as. It was about 40 degrees and I was like ‘I need a pair of sunnies’. And as a joke, me and my mate got a pair of sunnies, my favourite colour was yellow and he got a pink pair.
They won’t last forever Corey…
Well I got another [black] pair and so we’re painting them because you can’t buy these in yellow anymore.
Thought everybody had had enough of small-time fame media chasers? Apparently not.
Whilst bad boys have always been media magnets, 16 year old Australian Corey Worthington has brought a new level of bad-ass to the spectrum.
Perhaps a case of being in the wrong place at the right time, the young… [More]
So, by now you've heard about Corey Worthington and his infamous Myspace party to which over 500 "guests" came, conquered and in the process destroyed the neighbourhood.
Even more interesting, however, is the media fallout that has ensued, with people taking one of two opposing sides: that the kid … [More]
