Former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has reportedly been finalized as a participant in Big Brother 5.

The show starts in October and will be hosted by Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt.

Although it's quite a big news, this is not the first time that an international celebrity will enter the Bigg Boss house. Last season, former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson made a special appearance and proved a ratings booster for the show.

The late reality TV star Jade Goody appeared in the show in 2008.

Besides Tyson, there've been reports about several other probable participants. As surprising as the names are, we are pretty sure this will be one helluva season if all these people actually make it.

Poonam Pandey

This one doesn't really come as a surprise as you, dear readers, had mentioned this starlet quite high up in your Bigg Boss 5 wishlist.

Known to create a buzz and ever eager to shed clothes, here's hoping that Poonam Pandey has saved some of her antics for the Bigg Boss house.

Navjot Singh Sidhu

This former cricketer and reality show judge is (in)famous for his wisecracks and Sidhuisms.

It'll be interesting to see how his fellow-inmates respond to them if he decides to take this offer up.

Nihita Biswas

22-year-old Nihita Biswas's claim to faim is that she's convicted murderer Charles Sobhraj's wife.

She's probably filling in the shoes of Monica Bedi, who was also an inmate in one of the previous seasons of the reality show.

Pakistani actress Humaima Malik, who's creating quite a buzz with her just released film Bol is also being considered as a participant, we hear.

Lady Gaga

And this one is pretty huge.

None other than pop icon Lady Gaga might grace the Bigg Boss house in a guest appearance, just like the buxom Pamela Anderson did last season.

Barbara Mori

The Bigg Boss guys seem to be going all out this season. Spanish beauty Barbara Mori didn't get her dream launch in Bollywood when Kites failed.

But she'll be a huge draw in the reality show.

Adhyayan Suman

Shekhar Suman's actor son Adhyayan may also be a part of Bigg Boss 5.

Taking a breather from Bollywood, Adhyayan?

Jaspal Bhatti

Indian television's original funnyman Jaspal Bhatti is also rumoured to be in talks for the reality show.

It'd be one amazing ride if things work out.

Sudesh Lehri
