Sally's death

I still cannot get a definitive answer re Kate Ritchies' departure (or lack thereof) from Home and Away. The Sydney Confidential has a very vague article titled " Kate set to leave Home". while that in iteself seems to answer everyone's question they do not actually ahve any confirmation from anyone involved.

Currently enjoying a five week break following what she termed to be "a really big year,'' the TV star yesterday revealed she wants to be perceived as someone other than "the little girl who grew up on Home and Away.'' "It's been a fantastic experience but now I think I might be ready to look past that,'' Ritchie, 28, told Confidential

Seven refused to comment on Ritchie's suspected exit from the show and would not discuss details of her contract with the network. "Kate Ritchie's contribution to Home And Away over the last 19 years is deserving of the greatest respect and celebration,'' a Seven spokesman said yesterday.

More break ups

This break up fest 2006 is never ending. The latest casualties being:
*gorgeous OC couple Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody are over after 2 years.
*the "were they ever really together" couple of Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn
*and Eddie Murphy has left Scary Spice holding the unborn baby, and claims to not be convinced that said child is his. Nice.
*Also various Hollywood gossip sites are going crazy for the "latest" gay break up between Lance Bass and Reichen. I am somewhat befuddled by all of this as I was certain they broke up ages ago. I'm sure I read about it like a month ago and hence put them in my 2006 break up list last week. Maybe it was a premonition?

Anyway, no doubt tomorrow will see yet another couple bite the dust.

Home and Away season finale

Oh. My. God. Tell me they didn't really kill off Sally. I have no idea how Home and Away manage to keep their storylines hush hush but I am more often than not surprised by a storyline, which is nothing short of a fucking miracle.

So last night's 3 "shockers" were :
1. We discovered Constable Toby Mangel's deep dark seceret. He was not involved in that nasty Heartbreak High gang but he actually has a wife and kiddies. Nice. But it leaves me wondering how old he is supposed to be in the show? Martha is just 18, and I was under the impression Jack wasn't too much older than her. Obviously Ash is the same age as Jack as they went to school together, but his kids look like they're like 8 or 9 or something???? Stepkids?

2. Fucking Kit rocks up again. Will she ever go away? Anyway, her romp in the bush with Kim way back after the plane crash has left her with child, as luck would have it, right when Kim has only just found out he can no longer conceive. No doubt this baby will turn out to be someone else's too as is always the case with Kim's alleged offspring.

3. So there's been this build up all week about who will be "left for dead". I assumed it would be Sally but I also assumed that by epsiode 3 of 2007 (at the lastest) she would be alive and well. But there was this fucking montage at the end highlighting Kate Ritchie's entire time on the show which would imply they've gone all OC and totally fucked here off. Why????

Home and Away fansites are about to crash, as everyone is debating whether they really would kill Sally.

PS. Is it just me or does she look fucking hot in the above picture??

Soapstar Superstar

I fucking love the crap TV that the UK dishes up. Another celebrity reality show locked in for the new year. Soapstar Superstar is basically Idol, but with soap stars. From what I can gather it's the second season, but this year it stars two of our own : cringeworthy Dr. Karl Kennedy from Neighbours, aka Alan Fletcher, and Summer Bay stud and It takes 2 failure Mark "Ric" Furze. God poor Ric he is so desperate for a recording contract.

Male stripper

It was only a matter of time before someone in the States twigged that Oprah's latest addition, 'our' Jamie Durie used to get all oiled up for the ladies back in his hey day as one of the original members of Manpower.
I'm pretty sure Manpower are still going and doing shows in Vegas. Imagine if Durie decides to do a guest appearance!!

Speaking of Oprah, rapper 50 cent has labelled Oprah an Oreo!

Oprah Winfrey has morphed into a middle-aged white woman, says 50 Cent, and "caters" to their needs more than she does her black sisters.
She started out with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American women for so long that she's become one herself."

Intimate

Still trying to get the drag queen stench off me from last time I walked past Myer, I was nearly attacked by a lady the other day wanting to drown me in Beckham juice. Who the fuck next???
I was confronted by life size cardboard cutouts of the couple presumably about to conceive their 5th child. It's some his and hers thang called Intimatey Beckham.
For fuck's sake.

Various Idol bits and pieces

Well according to The Eye, last year's resident Idol she male Emily Williams is releasing a single . Known for her screaming rather than actual singing she will be recording the ultimate screamer, Whitney's I will always love you. Fan fucking tastic. I really look forward to hearing that played to death.

And apparently Millsy is back from his beer tour of Europe and is looking for work.

But most exciting is word that Dicko is returning to Idol next year!!!! Hooray!!! Unfortuneately much like everyone else I jumped to the obvious conclusion that one of the other judges (namely Kyle) would be fucked off, but alas no, looks like there will be 4.
