In the wild rumours department, the Daily Telegraph reports that Jessica Mauboy is doing the horizontal folk dance with former Australian Idol judge Jay Dee Springbett.

Kyle Sandilands started the rumour, and of course Jessica is denying this shit.

Jessica Mauboy’s publicist muAst have been the only one working this week as every paper I picked up over the past few days there has been a story about her in it. Today was no exception with this article in the Sunday Telegraph saying she wanted to win three or four Aria’s this year.

Also she was mentioned in this article in the Saturday Daily Telegraph about Australians who will shape 2010. The Australia Idol runner up will be in a movie called Bran Nue Dae. She has also said she hopes to do further acting work.

In other Australian Idol alumni news Kate DeAraugo is actually dating producer and guitarist France Millo, they met when he was a “roadie” for the Young Divas. They have been dating three years, and are apparently close to getting engaged.

Guy Sebastian has also had a great year and he tweeted today “Desperate Housewives and Brothers and sisters are also using Like it Like That in the US!! Unreal!” and “Thanks to everyone for making Like it Like That the highest selling single of 2009!! Im blown away.”

Mark Holden thinks that new Australian Idol judge Jay Dee Springbett will get better. Somehow I doubt he will get a second season. There is no news yet on whether Australian Idol will get the go ahead this year. (Source: Herald Sun)

Jessica Mauboy is happy that her single Burn is number one on the charts but what she would really like a new guy. The single girl who broke up with her long term boyfriend at the end of last year says she is ready to date again. Somehow I don’t think she will be single for long.

Simon Cowell Judgement Gets Clouded By Sex
Now Mag quotes Simon Cowell’s ex girlfriend Sinitta who says his judgement is clouded by sex. Personally I think this is way to much information.

Sinitta appears to keep her media profile high by gibbering about her famous ex all the time. He must not care as she is holidaying with him in Barbados. I wonder what she will divulge from there.

Johnathan and Victoria From The Amazing Race Have a Daughter – Can Someone Call Community Services.

Now regular readers of this column might know I have an unhealthy obsession with Johnathan and Victoria from Season 6 of The Amazing Race. Remember the scene where Johnathan nearly hit Victoria at the pit stop in Berlin? Vile, vile, vile. Anyway they have continued living off their notoriety doing reality TV related stuff, but also they have had a daughter. How many ways are they going to screw that girl up? She is already doing commercials. She is very cute. Go to the Johnathan and Victoria website http://www.jonathanbakerandvictoriafuller.com//

Also MSNBC have an interview from 2005 where Johnathan and Victoria talk about their time on the race. “I never was going to hit her”. It is a great read as he tries and justifies his behaviour.

Who on Australian Idol uses the most botox? Is it Kyle, Marcia or Teale as none of there foreheads move. To be fair to Marcia and Kyle other parts of their faces do move. Teale needs to become more animated. I think this is the reason he keeps on landing in the bottom 3.

Another one who is having a hard time getting her personality to the voters is Sophie Patterson. If she is pitching for a record contract I am not sure record producers would have been to impressed when she pondered after her performance last night that she didn’t know how to connect with the audience. I thought the aim of this show was to promote yourself.

Bottom three were Teale, Sophie and Thanh Bui, with Thanh being the one who was punted.

Jessica Mauboy sang her new single. I thought she looked fab, but did not like the song. Maybe I am just an old fogey.
