- Popular Online Bingo Channel Provides all the Behind the Scenes Gossip
About the Upcoming Awards Season

To celebrate the award season, Gala TV is welcoming Paul Ross, Dean Piper

they're tipping for the hotly contested Academy Awards and all the Tinsel
Town gossip.

The 'Hollywood Bingo' TV show will be live on the interactive bingo

And, the red carpet bingo fun doesn't stop there. Each of the dedicated
shows will feature a 20p a ticket Hollywood Bingo TV where, in addition to
the cash prize, all full house winners will receive exclusive film-based
merchandise. All of the 'Hollywood Bingo' TV winners (1 line, 2 line as well
as full house) from throughout the month will be entered into a prize draw
where one lucky player will win the chance to attend a VIP film premiere in
London, followed by a night in a hotel.

Paul Ross said: "It's great to be able to share my thoughts on who I
think has got a real chance of scooping an Oscar and any gossip on what the
celebrities are really like when the cameras stop rolling. I'll also be
giving advice on the latest 'must see' films that are currently on at the
cinema."

Ashley Pearson said: "The awards season is a really exciting time in
Hollywood, and I am looking forward to giving all the Gala TV viewers a sneak
preview to all the gossip from the pre Oscar parties, who is dating who, who
is falling out and who is making up! The fashion mistakes, the rumours and
what our own British A-Listers are up to in La La land."

Kevin Loman, Gala TV manager, said: "With the Oscars nearly upon us and
three British actors and actresses shortlisted to win, Gala TV's chat rooms
have been buzzing with conversations about who could win the coveted Oscar.
We are delighted that Paul, Dean and Ashley can give us the inside track on
all the goings on in Hollywood during February."
