Dumb-ass reality star of the day – last year’s Big Brother winner has confessed to using his $500,000 winnings to buy oxycodone pills for resale.

Adam Jasinski was arrested Saturday and charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills in Massachusetts to a government witness.

This wasn’t Jasinski’s first attempt at selling drugs – he told a federal drug enforcement agent that he used his Big Brother prize to buy the oxycodone and had sold it along the East Coast over the past few months.

If convicted, Adam Jasinksi could get up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

In the video clip above, Adam was to give a chunk of it to help in the fight against autism.

Big Brother: Chima Evicted by Producers; Chima Simone Quits

Big Brother 11 drama is at an all-time high, as Big Brother producers have evicted controversial Chima Simone from the game. Or did Chima quit the game?

The August 15 live feed of Big Brother showed Chima practicing for the veto competition with Kevin, Natalie and Lydia, when producers asked her to put her microphone on. Chima threw it into the Jacuzzi and refused to put on another mic.

A houseguest meeting was called by exec producer Allison Grodner… and shortly thereafter the live feeds were blacked out for over 90 minutes.

Following the black out, people watching the live feeds could see that Chima was no longer in the house, her memory wall picture removed.

CBS’ producers are only saying that Chima was evicted/removed/quit because she broke Big Brother rules.

CBS made this statement: “Chima has been evicted by the producers from the ‘Big Brother’ house for violating the rules. She will not be part of the show’s jury. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show.”

Adam Jasiniski won the ninth season of Big Brother… did you watch it last night?

I’m normally a Big Brother fan, but this season just didn’t click for me — maybe because it didn’t air in the summer?

Adam Jasiniski is a 29-year-old public relations manager from Del Ray Beach, FL and last night he not only won the $500,000 grand prize (by a vote of 6 to 1), but he also announced his donation of $100,000 to the United Autism Foundation to “help these children with an after-school program.”

Ryan Quicksall, 27-year-old college student from Columbus, OH, took the $50,000 runner-up prize.

A tenth season of Big Brother will air this summer, premiering July 13.
