Don’t get too excited if you are not a fan of Kyle Sandilands, a judge on Australia’s Got Talent – he is not about to go under some form of torture that is condemned by the United Nations.

News.com.au is reporting that the Australian Communications and Media Authority will be examining the comments he made last year about a News Limited journalist.

However ACMA has no authority to have Kyle Sandilands pulled off air.

For those who want to more about Kyle Sandilands, Caroline Overington wrote an article on him in yesterdays Australian Magazine.

Reality TV can be the gift that keeps on giving to a celebrity’s career.

The Daily Telegraph reports Didier Cohen is another winner from the Celebrity Apprentice series with news he is going to be the Entertainment Reporter for the Kyle and Jackie O show. Prior to his participation on the Channel NINE hit most people had not heard of the male model.

His to camera pieces commentating on the other contestants were at times both insightful and funny.

The other winner from the show is his girlfriend Jesinta Campbell whose profile a the network has sky rocketed. Apparently she will have a role on the new Sonia Kruger and David Campbell morning show.

As everyone in the Australia must now know that Kyle Sandiland’s made an unwarranted and personal attack on a News Limited journalist last week which has resulted in inches of publicity and resulted in sponsors pulling ads from the network.

Props should go to News Limited for supporting their employee in this situation. It is a pity those same sponsors did not remove advertising when Kyle inappropriately asked a 14 year old girl who she had had sex with after she had revealed she had been sexually abused.

However unfortunately for that girl she did not have a huge media organisation behind her. Though Channel Ten did sack him from Australian Idol, and Idol sunk that year.

Kyle tried to defend himself last week by saying he was an equal opportunity arsehole, and is was just as harsh on males as well as females.

Now it appears Matt Newton is using the ‘I am a prick to everyone’ defence. He apparently hits guys as well as girls.

Well that is what Matt Newton’s lawyer Chris Murphy is saying.

The Daily Telegraph writes:

MATTHEW Newton’s closest confidant says people should lay off the troubled actor because he didn’t just hit women – he hit men too.

Biting back at Newton’s “orgy” of haters on Twitter, the actor’s lawyer Chris Murphy says Bert and Patti’s son didn’t discriminate when it came to violent outbursts because he is mentally ill.

He praises Newton for having the courage to talk of his struggles on A Current Affair last week, saying Newton had admitted to “violent incidents with both genders”.

Newton has been living with Murphy since he left a Sydney clinic recently.

Murphy has been Newton’s lawyer for many years, representing him in 2006 when he was charged over the assault of then-girlfriend Brooke Satchwell.

It was Murphy who first made public Newton’s mental health issues, when he used them as a defence to the Satchwell assault charges.

Murphy claims that stories about Newton had been twisted to focus solely on his violence towards women, such as well-documented incidents with ex-girlfriends Rachael Taylor and Satchwell, when he also had been physically aggressive towards his male best friend and other men.

Murphy tweets that Newton hit men – “friends and strangers. It’s called mental illness.”

There has also been debate around the Matt Newton issue, saying that he refused to take responsibility for his violent behaviour and that he blamed it on his mental illness. The ACA interview was the first step in trying to rehabilitate him to the public, something that will be extremely difficult.

What I found interesting in the Matt Newton interview was that he said he was glad to be get help as he “…had enough of the noise”. Was this some noise that he was continually hearing in his head? Not sure if this was a symptom of his post traumatic stress disorder, the bipolar or OCD.

Prediction: Kyle will survive out of this furore, as he will go on ice for a couple of months then be wheeled out for the next ratings period. Also Channel Seven have been silent on the issue and at this stage he is still a judge on Australia’s Got Talent for 2012. Let’s face it everyone knows Kyle is a prick, he would do more damage to his brand if he suddenly became the Mother Theresa of breakfast radio.

Kyle Sandiland’s yesterday made an outrageous attack on a female journalist targeting her personally about her looks and calling her a bitch because she was negative about the Kyle and Jackie O show that had been screened on Monday night.

She was not alone in her criticism of the show.

Today the furore continued and Holden have withdrawn sponsorship of the show.

Also on Twitter I thought I saw Vodafone had also withdrawn their sponsorship as well as The Good Guys.

In one of those I hope this rumour isn’t true categories, the Daily Telegraph is saying Delta Goodrem might be one of the judges on The X Factor this year. Kyle Sandilands has announced he won’t  be returning to the show. (see previous blog post here)

Apparently she was in the mix for Season One of the show. On a positive note if she is on the show that would mean her fiancee Brian McFadden won’t be.

The X Factor in the UK have always had celebrities as judges to draw in the viewers, unlike Idol over here where Dicko and Jay Dee Springbett were unknowns before they sat on the judging panel.

Personally I would like to see one music industry person sitting on the panel.

The article also goes on to say that Jackie O and Merrick Watts are also being considered.

As we all know the headlines in the news yesterday were about Brian McFadden being met by the Australian Federal Police at the Sydney Airport when he arrived from a flight from LA.

The Daily Telegraph reports both Brian McFadden and Kyle Sandilands were met when they got of the flight, as there were allegations of smoking in the toilets.

The article said:

IT WAS the middle of the night, high above the Pacific, when some sleeping passengers were woken by laughs and loud conversation on the red-eye flight from LA to Sydney early yesterday.

The noise appeared to be coming from the bar at the rear of the business class cabin, where singer Brian McFadden and best mate Kyle Sandilands were perched.

No one else was seated on the purple leather bar stools of the V Australia Boeing 777, where the pair was enjoying a chat and a “few” beverages.

The duo was toasting their return to start auditions for Australia’s Got Talent and Irish crooner McFadden’s tipple of choice was a vodka mixer. It was all good fun, until things turned serious.

Flight attendants apparently became aware of the smell of cigarette smoke wafting through the aircraft.

No alarms were set off but they were certain someone, against regulations, had been smoking in the lavatory.

An “aggressive” conversation then ensued between McFadden, Sandilands and the flight crew, with repeated denials from the former Boyzone singer that he was the culprit. Sandilands backed his buddy, exclaiming “there is no way” McFadden would smoke on a plane.

“They were arguing, a lot of us heard it,” Ryan, an economy passenger from Camperdown, said.

Standard protocol was followed by the cabin crew and Sydney Airport was radioed and told there had been an incident with two passengers.

“Smoking, aggressive behaviour and not following the orders of staff,” was the initial brief relayed to the Australian Federal Police, who were waiting at the gate when the plane touched down at 8.30am. McFadden and Sandilands were escorted off the aircraft and interviewed.

In the initial media reports on radio there was no mention of popular DJ and judge on Australia’s Got Talent. It has been reported before Kyle Sandiland does not drink alcohol, but he does smoke. But obviously the finger must have been pointed at Brian.

Anyway as usual they have both come across as a couple of arrogant gits.

Also listeners of his show will now realise he had not been live on breakfast radio that morning because he was on the plane. However I doubt that revelation will make a dint in his radio ratings. (Source: Daily Telegraph)

I still think Kyle would, but Lara will just keep him dangling whilst he is buying the drinks, but rumours of them being on is not going to be stopped by this photo, Lara just tweeted.

Or maybe he is just giving her advice on her rumoured Dancing With Stars role, his ex did make the final.

• Do you think Kyle has the should I go for the grope look in his eye?

The X Factor judge appears to be pissing off everyone lately including his bosses at Austereo.

This morning he did not turn up to work because he was sick, and Jackie O came in and decided to go home as well!

News.com.au writes:

THEY wanted to celebrate his ratings success but Austereo bosses were instead left with an empty radio booth when Kyle Sandilands called in sick for the sixth time in two weeks yesterday.

Executives were again left wondering about the wisdom of allowing Sandilands’ commitment to The X Factor after his pregnant co-host Jackie O arrived – and then decided to go home too.

Listeners were instead ‘treated’ to a best-of package, just as they were when Sandilands called in sick two weeks ago – before taking that whole week off.

Despite his latest sickie, he managed to raise himself from his sick-bed to appear live as a judge on The X Factor last night, no doubt irking his radio bosses further.

“It does seem strange he couldn’t make it to work for 2DayFM but could for the other show,” one source said last night.

Also this week Kyle also took a swipe at Junior Masterchef fans basically calling them losers.

Kyle last night had the casting vote which saw Hayley Teale be sent from The X Factor. Funnily enough I saw a tweet which said that he had asked Mahogany and Sally Chatfield who to vote for and they both said Hayley. I am not sure if that is true.

I presume his Austereo bosses won’t do much about his behaviour as it is the second highest breakfast morning show. But I pity the producers on his show having to cope with these things on the fly.

The mystery of Kyle Sandiland’s non-appearance on The X Factor has been revealed this morning. He allegedly has glandular fever “the kissing disease”.

Nine MSN states that Kyle has been told to stay home for the week. No news on who he got it from, nor whether he had it last week when he picked the songs for his boys Mitchell Smith and Crocodile Rock for Andrew Lawson.

Seriously Kyle if he thinks by giving “gay rock” what ever that is to Andrew Lawson to sing, what market is he positioning himself to appeal to? Andrew Lawson is no Adam Lambert who is an uber talented performer.

In other judge love life news, Ronan Keating wife and kids have now arrived in the country so reports of his impending divorce are wrong.

I don’t usually believe in miracles, however I thought Mitchell Smith was a definite for the final, he goes and gets eliminated. And so he should have he absolutely butchered Jesse’s Girl last night.

In fact Australian got it right with the bottom two, as India-Rose’s vocal’s were extremely pitchy, and I am sure Amanda Grafanakis was even more bitter and twisted about being eliminated last week as again it proved her vocals are so much stronger.

Also Amanda had the added advantage of not walking pigeon-toed when she is performing.

Clearly Mitchell was surprised and devastated about what I thought was a shock elimination, as really was his vocal any worse then the previous weeks? The kicker being Ronan flicking it to the deadlock and he had the least amount of votes out of the two. However he will turn up on TV somewhere in the future.

I give props to Andrew Lawson for being embarrassed about singing Crocodile Rock, as it was an embarrassment. As he said I don’t want that to be the first thing a person see on YouTube when they search for me.

Adam Lambert’s song just did not do justice to his amazing voice. It was too techno pop for me.

Guy did not look impressed, I would have liked them to ask Guy what he thought of his home country (Malaysia) telling Adam Lambert to be a bit less gay on stage.

What is wrong with Kyle? Ronan said he was very ill and had cancelled most of his commitments for the rest of the week. I cannot see Sally Chatfield losing the competition at this point.
