Channel Seven Has Apologised For Sonia Kruger’s ‘racist’ Comments.
Channel Seven has apologised unreservedly for Sonia Kruger’s distasteful comments to musical director Chong Lim on the television show Dancing With The Stars.

The network insisted the presenter’s remarks were not intended to be racist, especially as the pair enjoyed a long-standing friendship.

Kruger made the derogatory comments about a “sweatshop of illegal immigrants” slaving away on her wardrobe for the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

“Let’s just say there’s a sweatshop full of illegal immigrants working on them right now,” Kruger said before referring to Lim, the show’s Malaysian-born musical director.
“How’s the family, Chong? All right?”

Sonia this week refused to apologise about the remarks. Maybe she was just trying to highlight that Australian designers are known to have their clothes made in sweatshops where pay and conditions are bad…….Ok maybe not.

Natalie Bassingthwaite Admits Her First Audition For SYTYCD AU Sucked.
In an interview in the Sunday Telegraph “The Bass” says her first audition for the Australian version of SYTYCD was not great.

In the interview she reveals:
Because she tried to emulate the style and brash attitude of the successful American version of the show, her first audition, by her own admission, “sucked”.
“I did a terrible audition. I walked away thinking: ‘I’m really bad at this. Even if they want me to do it, I don’t think I can.”’

But Channel 10 programming boss David Mott invited her back for a second audition – and Bassingthwaighte won the job.

Natalie had mixed reviews for her hosting style this year, but she did improve by the end of the season. Lets hope this continues into the next year.

The Amazing Race – Exit Interview With The Two Blondes Marissa and Brooke
Reality TV World has an indepth with Marissa and Brooke who were eliminated from last week’s The Amazing Race. It answers all the questions you could possibly want to know – How far behind they were? Why it took them so long to get to the harbour in Auckland? How important taxi’s are? And why you don’t need a hair straightener on the race.

Review of The So You Think You Can Dance Tour in North America

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.
