After doing well and earning titles like “Weaner” “Porker” and “Whole Hog,” players can advance to the section that allows them to answer pig trivia.

ITV has been fined $3,000 for a rat eating incident that occurred on last season’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, according to BBC News.

The incident involved celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo cooking rat risotto and eating it with actor Stuart Manning.

Not exactly the kind of risotto Russell Simmons enjoys, that’s for sure.

The fine was issued by Australian Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), which issued a statement through chief inspector David O’Shannessy.

“The animal was killed for a TV show, that’s not appropriate.”

A spokesman for ITV said, “ITV has apologised for the mistake which led to this incident.”

“The production was unaware that killing a rat could be an offence, criminal or otherwise in New South Wales, and accepts that further inquiries should have been made.”

I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here features stars surviving in the jungle, competing for money for their favorite charity.

More often than not, similar reality TV shows have contestants killing and eating what they find in the wild or simply eating what would be consider repulsive food for challenges or entertainment.

The fine issued to ITV may change the future of how contestants eat to “survive.”

“Mr. Bumble” Obese Skunk Goes Vegetarian

Meet Mr. Bumble.

Sir Bumble hails from the UK and was put on a vegetarian diet after his former owners gave him to the Royal Society For The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).

Apparently, bacon is what caused Mr. Bumble to lose his sexy figure.

Mr. Bumble, who’s currently the Hot Slut of the Day,  is now residing in Tropiquaria animal park near Watchet, Somerset, according to BBC reports, and park owner Chris Noisier said: “We’re now working on dieting him down to what he should be and clearly bacon butties are not a normal part of a skunk’s diet in the wild.”

Skunks are omnivores, but usually stick to bugs and frogs in addition to berries, plants, and fruit.

Mr. Bumble weighs in at 14 pounds and needs to lose 5 or 6.

“We’re putting him on the vegetarian option at the moment. It’s very much like a human weight-watching issue,” Noisier said.

When Mr. Bumble slims, will he become the next pro vegetarian model for a certain animal rights groups that will probably ask him to take his clothes off as well?

One thing’s for sure, he’s definitely an anti-fur activist.
