Channel Nine Considering Second Series Of The Apprentice.

TV Tonight has an excellent article about upcoming shows for Nine with an interview with programmer Michael Healy. He says they are considering a second series of The Apprentice.

He told TV Tonight:

“We tend to mark things very harshly here, particularly a first series,” he notes. “The Apprentice took 4 series in the UK before it popped. The BBC was committed to it. It wasn’t like it exploded onto the scene, it actually built season on season.

“It’s an incredibly well-produced show and Mark Bouris is very strong as an Australian Master in the role. We’re very proud of it and very happy with its performance. So we’d certainly be looking at the potential of a second series.”

Todd McKenney  May Not Be The Hands On Dad He Wanted To Be

The Daily Telegraph has an article which says Dancing With The Stars judge may not be as hands on to his two year old daughter as he wanted to be when she was born. He said at the time he would move to Melbourne to be near the mother of the child Anne Woods, but career kept him in Sydney. Now that Anne is performing in Mamma Mia in Sydney hopefully he might get to develop a relationship with the child.

Former Pop Idol Babe, Sophie Monk Is Back In Town

The Daily Telegraph has a story that when Sophie Monk landed at the airport this morning she was mistaken for Lara Bingle by “fans”.

However to me the real story was her people called the paps to tell them she was landing at 6.05am, and it took her an hour to emerge after all the other people from her flight had left. She was travelling with a makeup artist as well. When did she become so famous that she travels with an entourage? How does she afford it? Anyway she is back here for a wedding, a radio gig (today FM I think) and a magazine shoot.

Idol Battles reports the top 13 on American Idol will be performing Michael Jackson songs on this weeks show. Maybe they should fly last year’s Australian Idol winner across to perform on the results show, as his rendition of Black or White (see YouTube clip above) and the Michael Jackson style dancing was the highlight of last year’s season.

The top 13 are Anoop Desai, Jasmine Murray, Megan Corkrey, Matt Giraud, Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, Alexis Grace, Allison Iraheta, Adam Lambert, Scott MacIntyre, Jorge Nunez, Lil Rounds and Michael Sarver.

Expect some contestants to crash and burn. To be honest I don’t think I can sit through 13 Michael Jackson songs.

Wes Carr shows that unlike former Australian Idol winner Casey Donovan he is extremely media savvy.

In this interview in the Herald Sun Wes manages the following:

• To plug his girlfriend Charlotte Gregg’s TV show Out Of The Blue, which is tanking.
• To diplomatically address the issue of the “unpleasant power struggles” that Ben Gillies from Silverchair talked about when discussing their former band Tambalane;
• To show he has music credibility by refusing to have covers on his upcoming album; and
• To pitch a mockumentary.

If his music career does not work out he could always go into media training.

The Amazing Race Casting Director Says It Is A Relationship Game Not A Race Around The World.
In an interview on Reality Blurred Lynne Spillman the casting director of The Amazing Race said she casts on the strength of the stories of the relationship and how the race will test them.

“We want to know where they are, how their relationship is going to change on the race. You’ll see happy dating couples, but they’re usually at a crossroads of, you know, moving in together or getting engaged. You’ll see happily married couples but they’re a little bit in a slump or they’re about to retire. They always have a story where the Race is going to change something, and people don’t get that when they apply,” Spillman told me.

Also she will not cast Survivor cast members unless they have a high profile like Rob and Amber.
