Well then, no more Naomi Robson, eh. I can't say I'll miss her. Maybe rescuing Wa Wa proved too much for her? ETA: It's not a good day for women on Australian tv. Tracey Spicer is suing Channel 10 for discrimination.

. . . ETA: It's not a good day for women on Australian tv. Tracey Spicer is suing Channel 10 for discrimination. It hasn't been a good day for women since John Howard was elected in 1996. Welcome to Australia: The bargain-basement version of America. A dollar not spent on silly women who dare to go on maternity leave is a dollar earned. Unless she goes on the dole, or another one of those 'communist' services. Erm, anyway. This scares me a little: I dread to think. I mean, after Today|Tonight, where do you go? How much lower can you get?* I remember one of my lecturers (who, incidentally, taught Tracy Spicer while she was at QUT) ranting about Naomi Robson and what a shit journalist she is. Who knew it was possible to be so universally disliked? *I think I'm going to regret asking that.

^How much lower can you get? Not much...although I must admit I kind of enjoyed watching Naomi simply because it was so evilly satisfying watching her make an idiot of herself every single time. Maybe now she'll move on to Dancing with the (D-list) Stars, or some other reality show for desperate folk clinging to their last bits of fame. (No offense to fans of Dancing with the Stars)

Just saw that old post about Bec Cartwright:
Totally, IMO. They both were on the rebound when they got engaged (after a 6 week-relationship!), and becoming pregnant was the best way to be sure Lleyton would indeed marry her.

They both were on the rebound when they got engaged (after a 6 week-relationship!), and becoming pregnant was the best way to be sure Lleyton would indeed marry her. Well, I always thought that Lleyton really was into marrying young and having his own family. He proposed to Kim (when they were both really young) and was the one who really pushed the whole wedding thing. I think Kim got cold feet and generally couldn't cope with his family anymore (something I fully understand!). Yes, I do think he was on rebound but I think he was the desperate one here and proposed so he could finally marry. Seriously. He's a bit like a male Britney Spears to me. Pushed from an early age on to fulfill his parents' dream, earning the family's income, never being allowed to do anything but the job. Only way to get out of there was to marry and have kids. Then again, I don't even know that much about Bec. It is possible that she's one of those evil man-trapping-getting-pregnant-to-keep-him whores.

Oh, those man-trapping vaginas! The shame! Seriously, I don't think Lleyton is in a situation that he and his little Lleyton (would a perfectly horrid thought) didn't want to be in. He was desperate to marry Kim and then, when that fell through, he went and found himself someone who also shared his young family dream scenario. And really, they're perfect for each other - the stupid is contained in one little microcosm.

Dude that sucks, for him. I love the Wiggles, they seem like such good guys (as you would hope with their kind of work). I was shocked to find he is only 34. They were quite young when they started the whole wiggle thing.

Thats a shame, he was my 3rd favourite Wiggle.
The mystery illness is quite worrying though. And damn, thats 4 years older than me, now I feel old.

And I thought Jeff was the one with the major illness. (Get it, 'cos he was always sleeping?) Alright, I'll go away now.
ETA: Before I go, I just wanted to say that it does make me sad that he's unwell, they all seem like they genuinely believe in what they're doing. I hope he gets well soon.
