The Rachel Zoe Project returns tonight, Wednesday, September 14 at 8.30pm on Arena.
With her first baby on the way, a new team (yes, scene-stealer Brad has left - drats), a clothing line and her ah-mazing celebrity clients, Ms Zoe is uber-busy. Not the way you and I are with our comparably mundane lives, but you know, we don't dress Cameron Diaz for a living.
Throw in the mix Rachel's 'long-suffering husband' Rodger (still keeping an eye on her extravagant, "I Die", gotta-have-it purchases) and you have a new series perfect for fashion lovers.
Think it's all a little cuckoo? Don't worry, you're not alone. You'll probably get a good laugh in this Rachel Zoe parody:
On September 19 at 8.30pm - and exclusive to FOX8 - the Australian premiere of Rove LA finally hits screens after weeks of clever teaser ad campaigns.
Watch this fun clip:
And this one:
Multiple TV Week Gold Logie winner, Rove McManus, is returning to Australian television – and this time he’s gone all Hollywood-style. I must say, it suits him.
Rove LA will see Rove go back to where he seems most comfy – in comedy driven talk show in front of a live audience, chatting to celebrities. Incorporating the hottest guests as well as Rove’s take on the LA way of life, this exclusive one hour series seems the perfect vehicle to welcome Rove McManus back to the telly.
Shot at CBS Television City in Los Angeles, Rove LA will provide viewers with a weekly slice of Hollywood. Produced by Rove's company Roving Enterprises, Rove LA is executive produced by Craig Campbell, Rove's long-time creative partner and the driving force behind the 7PM Project.
Rove has a-US based production team, led by Todd Yasui, one-time Tonight Show booker and former head of Late Night at Fox Network in the US.
Rove said: “The time for lounging by the pool has gone on long enough. I feel recharged and excited about starting a new show in a new home but then again, it’s hard not to be when you’re one floor up from Drew Carey’s Price Is Right. So far it’s been a lot of fun putting the new show together and more than anything I’m looking forward to being back on Aussie screens on FOX8.”
Group Channel Manager, FOX8 Duane Hatherly said: “Rove is an icon of the industry and we are honoured that his comeback to Australian television is on FOX8. There is no doubt his humour and presence has been missed and this new series is a sensational addition to our already impressive Australian production slate. We can’t wait for the premiere on September 19!”
Either can I!
ROVE LA, Mondays at 8.30pm AEST, exclusive to FOX8 from September 19.
You know, sometimes, the mere title of a TV show draws me in.
This is one of them.
Eat Yourself Sexy Australia is the newest show on LifeStyle YOU.
Hosted by one of my fave TV personalities around, Sarah Wilson, the premise had me totally hooked.
The show is inspiring and uplifting, and encourages women to take control of their lives and get back on the road to loving themselves.
Now what is not to love about that?
Produced by Southern Star Entertainment exclusively for XYZnetworks’ LifeStyle YOU, Eat Yourself Sexy will screen over eight weeks from Thursday August 25 at 8.30pm (that's tonight!) and the timing is of course, impeccable.
Carrying some extra winter kgs? This is your chance to be inspired, to kick off healthy eating habits, to shift those pounds that may have crept up on you over the past few months (ahem... that'd be me).
“LifeStyle YOU prides itself on knowing Australian women. Our viewers contact us all the time with requests for makeovers, diet and exercise plans and relationship advice. Our vision for Eat Yourself Sexy was to make it real - real women, real makeovers and normal weight loss for women to feel good about their bodies,” said Nicole Sheffield, General Manager, LifeStyle Channels. “The series crosses genres with diet and fitness advice along with makeover tips and is about the realistic makeover to get Australian women feeling sexy again.”
Eat Yourself Sexy follows the stories of eight women, one per episode, as they transform their bodies and find the power to fire up their relationships with the help of a team of experts (ohhh, now I get why she says in the ad - below - "bring me my husband".)
Watch the series preview:
From the salad dodging housewife whose libido has gone missing (no urban myth), to the frantic mum of three who never has time for herself, this series will help Australian women lose weight, regain health and reclaim their mojo once and for all.
Hosting the Australian series and guiding these women along their journey is LifeStyle YOU presenter Sarah Wilson. Along with expert nutritionist Emma Sutherland and trainer Blake Worrall-Thompson, they are on a quest to transform these women in just eight short weeks. No surgery involved.
The women are confronted with the shocking damage they are doing to their bodies by overeating and barely exercising, and are given a tailor made diet and exercise plan to follow. The women, ranging in weight from 78 to 110 kilograms, battle to beat their food addictions and unhealthy habits, and there are plenty of triumphs to report at the end.
"The premise of Eat Yourself Sexy is so refreshing. The series is about changing your eating patterns to not just lose weight, but feel better about yourself and regain confidence, energy and sexual spark. I think Australians will learn a lot from this show... it goes into the kitchens and bedrooms of everyday women and holds a mirror up to our habits,” said Sarah Wilson.
Full of practical advice on diet and exercise, get set for a healthy dose of tough love. It would not surprise me if I, I mean, er, lots of women reignite their love affair with power walks and treadmills and eating right.
On your marks, get set...
EAT YOURSELF SEXY screens Thursdays at 8.30pm from August 25 on LifeStyle YOU, available on FOXTEL and AUSTAR.
On newsstands tomorrow, Australia's Who magazine (sister publication to US People magazine) presents a special issue featuring the celebrity wedding of the year, between Kim Kardashian and pro basketballer Kris Humphries. And we get to ogle - and pick apart - all the pics.
With three couture Vera Wang gowns, 50,000 flowers and $15 million worth of diamonds, the reality star married her "perfect" guy in a dream wedding that was unabashedly grand. And perfectly made-for-TV.
"I was speechless," says Kim of the day she painstakingly planned for three months (sister Khloe has openly said Kim has planning this day from the moment she was born). "It was like we were in heaven."
For traditional girls planning their wedding, it's all about the details, and the mag features all the jewels, including the Lorraine Schwartz $15 million dazzling diamond pieces for the bride's day, including an Audrey Hepburn-inspired headpiece, a bracelet with the couple's K and K initials entwined (the groom's gift to his bride) and blinged-up wedding bands.
The reception featured a two-metre tall $10,000 cake and a celebrity chef-created menu, 400-plus guests (including Eva Longoria, Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne).
Plus, photos of the after party for those who really, really want to witness the whole shebang.
Who magazine is onsale tomorrow until Thursday next week.
Deemed the US's answer to the recent British Royal Wedding, the Kardashian/Humphries nuptials was certainly the most lavish, OTT celebrity wedding of the year.
"It was like we were in heaven," Kardashian tells this week's People magazine in the highly anticipated cover story exclusive - with all the wedding photo pics - for the US mag (expect Australia's Who magazine to release their Kim/Kris cover tomorrow).
Adds Humphries: "I'm going to remember how perfect it was."
Interestingly, it is only Kim who appears on the cover of People mag (the mag paid a reported US $1.5 million for the happy snaps). Surely, the wedding is not all about her, is it? Is it?
Their wedding planner Sharon Sacks says the couple mixed tradition with over-the-top glamour at their August 20 ceremony, held at a private estate in Montecito, California.
"Kim loves black and white and so does Kris," says Sacks. "They have this Hollywood royalty feeling and the black and white represented formality. But tradition was very important to them."
Wearing a custom-designed Vera Wang gown, Kardashian says she "felt like a princess."
But, she adds, "Glam aside, that wasn’t our main goal. It was really about our family and each other.”
And milking this cash cow for all its worth, baby.
For some, there are more pressing issues in the world.
Sure, agreed.
For others, the details are crucial.
And so, in the interest in serving the latter group, here are alll the teeny, tiny deets on what went down at the Kardashian/Humphries wedding.
Here goes:
Date: Saturday, 20th August 2011
Time: Scheduled for 6pm but the ceremony kicked off at 6.37pm (told you we had all the tiny details)
Location: Montecito, California – the estate of Google Executive Eric Schmidt
Kim’s dresses: all Vera Wang
For the ceremony – a custom-made strapless gown with full tulle skirt
For the reception - an ivory mermaid gown with hand-pieced chantilly lace appliqué on the bodice and a skirt with hand-cut organza petals intermixed with chantilly lace motifs and organza sprig embroidery;
For the after party – a crepe-back, V-neck satin gown with a circle skirt
Kim’s hair: an up-do with a diamond garland (set to be copied the world over)
Kris’s tuxedos: Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo with a white lapel jacket and tie and black trousers; Kris swapped his white jacket and bowtie for black at the reception
Rings: Lorraine Schwartz wedding bands
Matron and Maids of Honour: Khloe Kardashian-Odom and Kourtney Kardashian
Bridesmaids: Kendall and Kylie Kardashian
Bridesmaids dresses: ivory Vera Wang (same for the mother of the bride Kris Jenner)
Groomsmen: Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedos (same for Bruce Jenner and Kris’s dad, William Humphries)
Ring bearer: Mason Disick (Scott and Kourtney's son)
Theme: black and white – all the guests were told to go still the colour scheme
Catering: Wolfgang Puck
Menu:
Starter – buffalo mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad with basil and "tomato chips"
Main – choice of hand-formed agnolotti with sweet corn mascarpone and summer truffles, or roast chicken with Yukon Gold potato puree, caramelised brussel sprouts and summer truffles
Cake – multi-tiered chocolate-and-vanilla swirl cake studded with chocolate chips
Music:
First dance – Robin Thicke sang his song “Angels”, then transitioned into “Let’s Stay Together”
Later, Earth, Wind & Fire played "September", and later still, a DJ spun tunes
Guests: stepbrother Brody Jenner and girlfriend Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan with mother Dina and sister Ali, Eva Longoria and her BF (Penelope Cruz's brother Edoardo), Ryan Seacrest (also the Keeping Up With The Kardashians producer) and his GF Julianne Hough, Ken Baker, Demi Lovato, Kathy Lee Gifford, Mel B, Sugar Ray Leonard, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Alan Thicke, Mario Lopez, Ciara, Joe Francis, George Lopez, Serena Williams, and entertainment reporters Lara Spencer and Maria Menounos.
Members of the New Jersey Nets (Humphries's team) were also given the all-clear to gather for the wedding, despite a rule that prevents teammates from being in contact during the NBA lockout. Jordan Farmar, Humphries's Nets cohort is in fact the guy who introduced the bride and groom.
For the broadcast of the wedding you will have to wait a little while: Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event will air Tuesday and Wednesday, October 11 and 12, at 8.30pm, on E!
Okay, now you know all there is to know... so far.
You've got to hand it to the Kardashians - the sure know how to broker a deal.
Kim Kardashian is set to rake in US$17.9 million for her wedding with Kris Humphries.
Oh yes, people. Thirty year old Kim is expected to pull in anywhere between US$12 million to US$15 million for her E! special Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event, which will air in Australia October 11 and 12.
This savvy businesswoman (who are we kidding? She's gone far, far beyond being a mere 'reality star' - Paris Hilton must be sobbing in her piles of designer gear) is financially set: between selling her exclusive wedding pics to US People magazine (to be reproduced in Aussie sister mag Who magazine), her bridal shower pics to OK! mag as well as her Las Vegas bachelorette party, this woman is all sorted. Now all she needs to do is, y'know, remember why she got married.
Here's a breakdown of what they got (all is US figures):
* $15 million (plus profit) for the four-hour, two-part wedding special on E!
* $2.5 million for the exclusive pics with US People magazine
* $300,000 for the exclusive engagement announcement with People
* $100,000 for exclusive rights to her bridal shower with Britain’s OK! mag
* $50,000 to have her hen's night at Tao in Las Vegas
* $15,000 to $20,000 for the Hansen’s Bakery wedding cake
* $20,000 for the Vera Wang wedding dress and fittings
* $40,000 for two more Vera Wang evening dresses
* $400,000 in Perrier Jouet Champagne
* $150,000 in hair and makeup for photo shoots and TV “home video”
* $10,000 for the Lehr & Black wedding invitations
* $2 million for the (gasp) 20.5-carat engagement ring and $1 million wedding bands by the US jeweller Lorraine Schwartz, which were said to be hugely discounted.
Here are the pics from the E! televised special. Brace yourself... it's set to be two months (and beyond) of Kardashian-saturation.
So, I am guessing you've heard a small wedding, a family affair will be taking place this Saturday, US time?
You know the one - a Kardashian branded shindig which will cost squillions though will be reimbursed by gazillions worth of endorsements, product placements, and freebies.
People magazine will be running the pics (Australia's Who magazine sister publication, which means they will also run the highly sought photos) and you can bet the estimated cool half 2.5 mill they paid for it will be well worth the money in mag sales.
With the news overnight that Russell Armstrong - estranged husband of Taylor Armstrong from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - was found dead at his home, myriad questions are raised about the 'reality' of reality TV shows.
The interesting part of this reality phenomenon (the "Real Housewives" franchise launched in 2006, following five women living in Orange County, and has since spawned spin off shows in New Jersey, New York City and Atlanta) is that the appeal is around watching these women lead apparently fulfilled, opulent, often OTT lives.
The real reality of these reality shows is that at least six "Housewives" have instigated divorce proceedings since being on various versions of the shows, and around the same number have filed for bankruptcy since filming started.
It all begs the question: how much of the show is staged (nooo, impossible!) to suit the template of the show's [affluent] premise. And is it all a little too much, in every respect?
Giuliana and Bill Rancic are such an endearing couple.
Sure, they live high profile lives, played out in front of cameras, but it's the real-ness and raw-ness of their serious couple issues that has made them so popular, bringing them back for a fourth series (read on for the scoop on their Australian visit).
Seen here on the Foxtel and Austar channel The Style Network, the power couple's (she's an E! entertainment reporter for E! News and Fashion Police; he is the winner of the first Donald Trump TV hit The Apprentice) show Giuliana & Bill premieres Monday August 1 at 8.30pm.
This time, the couple face their biggest challenge yet – living in the same city for the first time. See? Just like you and me!
With last season being the highest-rated and most-watched season to date, expect some new curveballs along the way. Of course, what they've faced so far is hardly something they requested to have written in the series: the heartache of trying to conceive - and the tragedy of miscarriage - and the medical procedures that have ensued.
Realising they cannot live in two separate cities - Los Angeles and Chicago - with all that's happening (Bill has strong roots in his hometown of Chicago where they finally finished building their dream home; and Giuliana’s E! News career is thriving with additional responsibilities as co-host of Fashion Police and E! Live from the Red Carpet – all based on the US west coast) the couple decides to make Los Angeles their home – together.
Last week, Bill Rancic chatted with me by phone from his Brentwood, Los Angeles home.
Asked how his reality show differs from myriad others, Bill is clear:
"I think our show is different and it's different in a number of ways. When we were first approached to do the show I was pretty reluctant. I said, no that's not something I had thought about doing in my lifetime. And I thought about it and I said, if we're going to do it, we're going to do it under a cpiuple of conditions. One, we're going to do a show that's positive. A show that showcases the good aspects of a relationship. And secondly, we're going to be ourselves. You know, I don't want to have scripts - you know, some of these reality shows are so fake. We;ee not going to do that. We're going to have a show that's real, that's authentic, that's not fake. And that's what we've done; what you see on the show is what we are, and people who know us as friends can say that's exactly how we are in real life and we don't script things and we don't do things for ratings.
"It's funny, when we first came out with the show four seasons ago, everyone in Hollywood said, "The show's going to fail, becasue people want that scandal, they want the controversy and if we're not going to give it to them then no-one is going to watch. And I disagreed, and said, well we'll see. If you look at all the other show out there they showcase infidelity, and drug use, and violence.. it's horrible.
"A woman said to me on the street and said, "Thank you for making the show. It's a show I can sit down and watch with my daughters, and it's a relationship I hope they can have one day. That's a big compliment, and that's what we wanted to achieve."
Asked if it was hard to getting used to cameras, Bill tells surprisingly it was Giuliana that had a slightly harder time at first.
"For me, I was accustomed to it with The Appentice. For Giuliana, it took some getting used to."
Sometimes, it's not always pretty, I offer.
"You bought up a good point: it's not always pretty. We've been able to tackle some pretty heavy duty issues on the show and it's issues that a lot of people face. More people than you would ever imagine. With infertility, it's one in five couples who have problems conceiving and it's never talked about. So, it's been a very rewarding process because we've been able to help many couples through the show and sharing our story, and kind of turning the lights on this unpopular topic."
When Giuliana lost her baby through miscarriage, I admitted crying tears - it's so raw.
"Yeah, it's the real deal," adds Bill.
During their recent appearance on the E! channel's Chelsea Lately show, the couple openly discussed the possibility of adoption, and possibly from Giuliana's hometown of Naples, Italy.
"Well, we're exploring it, and I think we have other avenues to exhaust first, but adoption is certainly something we have explored. That's down the road, but we have a few tricks up our sleeve first. Hopefully, we will have twins like yourself - that would be a dream come true!"
What I love most about the couple is the humour and the ribbing (Giuliana is often heard to exclaim: "Rancic!") as shown by the moment the couple sat down to talk to Chelsea Handler recently. In true Chelsea style, she launched straight into Bill's sexual history.
"I love Chelsea, we've known Chelsea a long time and we have fun. Sure, it's something I normally don't talk about - it got a little raw there - but it was fun!
"It is what it is, we're open, we're very honest with each other. And when I married Giuliana I gave full disclosure before we got married, because I've heard so many horror stories about my buddies who got married and their wives didn't know about their previous life or their college days and I laid it on the table and said, this is the guy that I am and I don't want any surprises down the road, and she got it. And she did the same, she told me everything up front. I think that's part of a healthy marriage. You can't try to be someone you're not."
So, what does Bill hope for viewers to get from this fourth season?
"We have a marriage that I think most people in the world have. We show how we deal with our problems and we give people another perspective in how to deal with issues in a marriage, good or bad. But, it's real, and that's kinda refreshing to say, hey, these people have the same problems we do. Look, Bill's complaining about Giuliana's spending habits! We're not a show that showcases private jets and helicopters and all that crazy stuff. We are who we are. I am a guy who is trying to curb my wife's spending every day," he laughs.
On Chelsea Lately, Bill talked about a new show he's starting with Leeza Gibbons.
"Well, we're doing a new show that's called America Now, and it's a news/magazine show, a 'news you can use' program. I was attracted to the show because it's a show to help empower people, tips they can use to improve their life everyday. It's a thirty minute show, it's going to be on Monday through Friday and Leeza and I are doing it together, and it has stories like how to look out for your kids on the playground or how to save money at the grocery store. It's a very wholesome show that people can watch for thirty minutes and they can implement what thet saw into their daily lives."
"There's talk of it being brought out to Australia - we'll see. I was so close to coming to Australia - I was in Auckland and was supposed to give a speech in Sydney, but that fell through. But we're hoping to come to Australia this New Year's Eve - we've been approached to host a New Year's party in Australia, so fingers crossed, we hope to come and ring in the New Year with you guys."

And to see the Chelsea Lately clip (only for US readers/viewers, sadly), go here:
Diesel Swimwear has opened Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim with a SKYY® Vodka collaboration.
Diesel introduced its S/S 2012 swimwear collection during the South-Beach based event with a splashing runway show at the “Cabana Grande” to kick off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. The show saw Diesel partnering with SKYY® Vodka for an extravaganza at The Raleigh on July 14th.
Special guest on the runway was Kristin Cavallari (The Hills), as she unveiled Diesel and SKYY Vodka’s capsule collection: four eye-catching pieces inspired by the vodka’s iconic cobalt blue bottles and logo graphics, infused with strong Diesel influences.
In line with the main collection, the male swimwear line is defined by hardware, check and stripes. The line for women is a reinterpretation of denim in every aspect: a denim look effect, embroideries, buttons and rivets, and laces-leather effects.
The runway show then merged into the official kick-off party of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim, presented by SKYY Vodka, with IMG and Mercedes-Benz, at the Raleigh’s pool deck and oasis, featuring Diesel Island. Special cocktail mixes by SKYY (yum) added to the beachy feel, partying to a DJ set by none other than Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr.
Cavallari's fiancé Jay Cutler chilled out in the audience with NFL player Chad Ochocinco.
My friend Laury also introduced me to the word 'reem'.
"It means 'good', and it was used a lot in the East End, although Joey Essex [also on TOWIE, and yes, that's his surname] has brought it back in fashion, so whole hoardes of chavvy youngsters are now going round calling everything 'reem'," she says.
Don't worry, if you are yet to experience the curious world of TOWIE, you will catch on pretty quickly.
The second series will premiere exclusively on LifeStyle You on Monday July 25, at 9.30pm.
Outrageous and completely addictive, TOWIE will have you somehow hooked and interested in the world of tanning and vajazzling, fake boobs, fake hair, and fake relationships, and all the superficial pursuits of Essex ladies and lads.
“LifeStyle YOU is a channel that prides itself on finding unique and exciting reality and docu-soaps,” said Nicole Sheffield, General Manager, LifeStyle Channels.
“The Only Way Is Essex has been a huge hit with our viewers both on screen and online. It was no surprise to us that the series picked up the only viewer voted BAFTA TV Award recently, it has great talkability and is highly addictive.”
TOWIE follows the 'drama'-filled lives of: nightclub promoter Mark and his and fashionista fiancée Lauren Goodger; aspiring singer James Argent, club owner Kirk Norcross; beautician Amy Childs; her colourful cousin Harry Debridge (I think he steals the show, although I can barely decipher his vocab); and glamour model Sam Faiers, plus new faces, yum-mum Chloe Simms and her 'clueless' fashion forward cousin Joey Essex.
TOWIE is the winner of the 2011 BAFTA You Tube Audience Award.
THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX screens Mondays at 9.30pm from July 25 on LifeStyle YOU available on FOXTEL and AUSTAR.
So I have just finished watching the first episode of "Go Back To Where You Came From" on SBS. If you missed it, go online and view the entire ep here: http://www.sbs.com.au/
This is raw, emotion-charged viewing - a TV social experiment at its best.
When I first heard the title some weeks ago I will admit it was extremely jarring: it was the jibe I sometimes heard as a child of Italian migrants, as a 'wog' living out in south-west Sydney.
Now, I consider myself to be very much aware of the plight of the refugees living in Australia; of the heartbreaking stories attached to the asylum seeker.
I live mere kilometres from the Villawood Detention Centre; I live in a suburb where interacting daily with Iraqi and Sudanese refugees is a completely normal existence for me - has been for many, many years.
But this show moved me in ways I didn't expect. When the Sudanese woman spoke of her children, I cried many tears. When Roderick is recounted an emotional story and shifts uncomfortably, I am engaged. When some of the partipants utter ignorant remarks, I cringe. When I hear Gleny utter words of wisdom and clarity, I am glad she is one of the people taking part in the show.
However you feel, wherever you stand, this is true must watch TV.
Reassuringly for our young generation, interactive, curriculum-relevant school resources will be available from June 22, that will enable students and teachers to interact with the content of the series. It will feature clips from the documentary, classroom activities and curriculum applications. For more, go here: http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/goback/listings/page/i/2/h/Schools/

And to see the trailer for the three part series (part two airs tonight, part three tomorrow night) go here:
Actor/performer Ice-T and his [put-some-clothes-on!] wife Coco premiere their reality show tonight, Ice Loves Coco, on E!
In this eight-episode, half-hour series, E! takes viewers behind the scenes into the daily lives of rapper/actor/author/motivational speaker Ice and his fitness/swimsuit model/internet-sensation buxom and bootay-licious wife Coco. I was more than amused to see Coco actually wear a dress that covered [most] of her bits on The View recently. The girls were definitely still out to play while sitting on Barbara Walters's couch, though.
Married for ten years and having spent only one day apart in all that time, these two crazy kids are something to behold.
"Ice Loves Coco" premieres June 21st at 10pm on E!
What can the Kardashian Family possibly have to say, show, spriuk, or shout that hasn't been done before?
Lots, it seems!
Tonight, the season six premiere of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” will screen, at 9.30pm on E!
This season, Kim's new fiance makes his debut: New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries.
Kim takes Kendall to The Big Apple to help jump-start her burgeoning modelling career (the younger Kardashians/Jenners - now that's one reality show I want to see!).
Also this season, the family takes a long overdue vacation in honour of Kris and Bruce's 20th wedding anniversary.
Many have been disturbed by Chris's outburst towards his partner Anastasia, and the comments on the blog post above, and on the show's Facebook page, have been nothing short of explosive.
But Chris appears to show much deep remorse, and says he is in the process of bettering himself.
In an article in the Herald Sun yesterday, he said:
"It's been a bit embarrassing, the things I said, and it's a good wake-up call as a person," said Chris.
"I have to fix those problems. I take full responsibility for the way I behaved. It's up to me to prove I'm a respectful person. I wish I could tell everyone one by one that."
What do you think? Is the relationship a recipe for disaster? Is it doom-filled, as so many (strangers) are convinced? Is it even our business? Have you been in this kind of relationship, and how has it fared?
Will this couple overtake Richard and Joey as the most talked about duo on the often-controversial, hugely popular reality show The Amazing Race Australia?
Watch this 'leaked footage', taken from tonight's ep and have your say... what do you think about this team?
And for the couple's profile video, go here (looks like Chris really, really likes Anastasia's, er, rack):
If you have a case of Oprah-itis (that a cream just won't fix) we have your cure right here.
