Ajay Rochester go buy a lottery ticket, as today is your lucky day. Today magistrate Pat O'Shane recorded no conviction, against the The Biggest Loser host, and placed her on a 12 month good behaviour bond at her sentencing hearing today after she had pleaded guilty to defrauding Centrelink.

Ajay cried with relief. She had said yesterday that a conviction would ruin her career.

She said outside the court "I am just so happy to put it behind me and move on with my life and be with my boy, and be happy and just get on with my future.".

The big question now is will Channel Ten start using her in the promos for the new season of The Biggest Loser which starts on Feb 1?

Full story of her sentencing hearing on news.com.au

One reason not to go to court is that all your private secrets come out. It was revealed in court today that Ajay Rochester, the host of The Biggest Loser, only earned $50,000 for the first season of the weight loss program. Rochester who today had her sentencing hearing for Centrelink fraud postponed until tomorrow.

The SMH states Pat O'Shane, the magistrate presiding over the hearing, wants more information on the chronolgical order of events of the Centrelink investigation. Particularly in the delay in the time of the offences in 2005, and the time it took to get to court.

Anyway the media circus will continue tomorrow for Ajay. So let us hope she has another court outfit to wear.

If you live in Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmainia or South Australia you still have the opportunity to see Lisa Mitchell who was one of the highlights from the 2006 season of Australian Idol. Full details on dates and location can be found on http://www.lisamitchell.com.au/.

She is currently touring and playing songs from her yet unnamed new album. Lisa has been living in London writing and recording songs.

If you have forgotten about her whimsical style here is her singing one of her own songs Incomplete Lullaby.

It is now confirmed that former editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine Sarah Wilson will be the host of Channel Ten new show Masterchef Australia. This is a bold, but exciting move by Channel Ten, see previous post here regarding her appointment.

The show is definitely generating interest as 7000 people have applied to be on the show.

But Sydney chefs will be in a tizz now it has been revealed that two Melbourne chefs, George Colombaris and Gary Mehigan will be the judge/mentors. Colombaris owns The Press Club, and Mehigan owns the Fenix and Maribyrnong Boathouse. Does this mean Melbourne chefs are better cooks or are they just more telegenic?

The food critic role is yet to be cast.

Masterchef is certainly ensuring that has been presenters and celebrity chefs are not getting a look in. This is a positive thing.
