Reality Ravings

The Biggest Loser fat-camp has been evicted from thier location at Duffy's Forest.

More then 100 submissions had been made by residents to Warringah Council including complaints about odours from their on-site sewerage systems, lighting, traffic and an overall disruption to the leafy residential area.

The first three seasons had been filmed here. Season four was expected to start filming earlier this month, but the 20 contestants are now looking for another home.

The My Kid Is A Star mansion at Dural could be still available as I am sure Channel 9 won't be making another series of that turkey.

Tonight we get to see who will be eliminated from Australian Idol this week at 7.30pm on Channel Ten. It obviously won't be Wes Carr.

Arena has the deliciously entertaining Top Chef 3 Chicago at 8.30pm, followed by a new program called Top Design which is an interior design competition.

This reality competition pits 12 aspiring interior designers against each other in a quest to create the next Top Design. The contestants will live together in a plush Los Angeles loft while enduring a series of design challenges meant to separate the wheat from the chaff and leave us with one incredibly talented winner!

This is season 1, however in the US Season 2 started last night.

Fox 8 has Ice Road Truckers on at 8.30pm. This is quite fascinating look at trucks going across ice in the Canadian winter to deliver goods etc. I know sounds boring but can get quite riveting.

Well you would want to put on a bit of lippie and celebrate if you had drug charges against you dropped.

Todd McKenney, judge from Dancing With the Stars, today had the charges withdrawn for drug possession due to lack of evidence.

Todd McKenney was charged with possessing the prohibited drug gamma hydroxybutyrate - also known as GHB or fantasy - after being found unconscious in Ruschutters Bay Park on Anzac Day.
He was allegedly found with a vial of the drug in his pocket after spending time at a friend's party.

Todd McKenney has maintained his innocence throughout. I must confess I was a bit sceptical about it all.

McKenney's lawyers were going to show there was ample opportunity for the drugs to have been planted in his jeans, therefore NSW Police decided not to proceed.

McKenney - who is currently starring as drag queen Mitzi in the musical Priscilla: Queen of the Desert - was relieved that the charge had been dropped.

How often do you get to play out your guilty pleasure on a high rating TV show? Well Wes Carr did tonight. The Bondi muso exterior was stripped from him as he played out a dream from when he was five to sing Michael Jackson on national TV, and to give that dream justice he was not going to trick it up or make it cool, his young boy's fantasy was out there for all to see. It stole the show.

To be honest I was unsure what I thought about Australian Idol idolising Micheal Jackson for a night. What next a Gary Glitter retrospective?

But Jermaine Jackson was to be the special guest judge, as Michael Jackson could not get a visa due to being a person who if he was a NSW resident would possibly be on the Child Protection Register. Only joking about the visa bit he is currently ensconced in Las Vegas hiding his kids under scarfs and home schooling them.

If any of my readers are make up artists or hairdressers can you please explain to me what Jermaine does with his hair. The sides look like he had lathered black boot polish on it.

Teale Jakubenko - Billy Jean
At first I thought Teale decided to do a "Nights In White Satin" version of Billy Jean, but by the end of it I thought he was trying to Michael Buble it. Considering last week he said he would classify the music he wants to sing as SPROCK, which is soul, pop and rock, there appeared to be none of any of those genres in it. I thought it was dull, but clearly I was in the minority.

All the judges including the plasticised Jermaine Jackson gushed over it. Dicko thought it was brilliant, and said he had put some mongrel in it.

Mark Spano - Bad
Michael Jackson week was always going to be hard, as really who has a high voice like him? The chorus was great and he came across quite sexy. You knew he was in trouble with the verses when he started prowling the stage like he did on his below average performance on Abba night.

Chrislyn Hamilton - Thriller
Chrislyn was the first one to not to play around with the arrangement of the songs and just sang it straight ala Jackson.
There were a few pitch problems and I was not sure about the musical theatre moves, but the second half was stronger then the first.

Was Kyle serious about saying she should have come out in a skeleton costume, and done some zombie dancing? That could have made it a complete kitsh train wreck.

Luke Dickens - The Way You Make Me Feel
Before Idol started tonight I said to the other household reality TV under duress couch potato that this could be Luke's last night as Michael Jackson will trip him up. By the end of the song I was kicking myself for not putting a lazy $10 on Luke to win Australian Idol at the beginning of this year's series.

It was fantastic. I think Luke comes across as the happy go lucky type, but he has been making some very canny song choices. The blues arrangement just suited his style and the lyrics.

Wes Carr - Black Or White
Sorry Luke, I was just about to text you a vote and then Wes and his inner five year old came on.

For a second (but only a second) I thought is this going to be like an older version of Young Talent Time.

It was sen'fucking'sational. I could not stop laughing but also thought he was sexy cool when he was doing it. It was a truly memorable Idol moment in a good way.

Bottom three Teale, Mark and Chrislyn

Kristy Hinze Hurt By Bloggers Thinking She Is Marrying Older Billionaire For His Money.

In SMH it says Kristy Hinze is hurt that internet bloggers think she marrying Netscape founder Jim Clark for his money.

There is a 34 year age gap between them. I for one was sceptical about match as seen in this post here. However they both are obviously in love, but I am sure his money and her lithe body have something to do with the attraction. Anyway does it matter what other people think?

Andrew G's Wife Looking For Work In Australia.
Andrew G's wife Noa Tishby who is a triple threat of model, actress and singer is looking for work in Australia so she can spend more time with her husband.

Noa who is huge in her home country Israel, has also just scored a guest spot on the TV program Big Love.

I wonder if she auditioned to be host on Australia's Next Top Model? Or even a guest judge she would have the goods to do that.
