Channel 9 signed her but, get this, because she stupidly signed an exclusive contract with Woman's Day she hasn't been able to make herself available to other media to promote the bloody show! Just the other day one of the daily papers was moaning about how she wouldn't give any soundbites to them because of this. Geez I'd be pissed if I were Eddie Maguire. I think this was rather generous of Bec. Just think, the less she's promoted, the fewer people know about and thus watch her show, the sooner she goes away. Problem solved.

Am I the only person in Australia completely underwhelmed by the Melbourne Cup?

But its horses!! And they run fast!! In a circle!!
I've got zero interest in it. Apparently us Kiwis are all meant to cheer for any Kiwi-related horse. Meh.

So, Russell Crowe said on 60 minutes that his whole "phone-throwing" issue would have been resolved at home with a handshake and an apology. Just so you're warned, if I'm ever in Australia, I'm throwing a phone at the head of the first Australian I see.

So, five seconds after I posted about my disinterest in the whole Cup thing, I get get put in charge of the office sweep.

I didn't win anything in the office sweep. Ya know, if they are going to make me run around and organise the stupid thing I could at least have had a horse that didn't come last.

Your office sweep must really suck. Usually there's a wooden spoon prize for last place (I had second-last two years running .

Alas, the chances of Bec going away seem to be diminishing, especially when she insists on going out in public wearing outfits as ridiculous as this. eta: close up minus Ley-ley. I want to ask wtf she was thinking, but using the word 'thinking' in relation to Bec seems laughable.
