Seriously? OMG! WTF?

DESPITE nursing a broken leg, former Dancing On Ice contestant Giaan Rooney says she enjoyed the challenge and would happily sign up for a second series.The Australia swimming star underwent surgery yesterday after she fell and badly broke her leg while rehearsing for the Channel Nine show.The Olympic gold medallist was practising with skating partner Jonathon O’Dougherty when the accident happened."I would love to tell you we were doing something hard, but we were just warming up actually, just doing what we do every other warm-up day and I caught my toe on the ice and went over," Rooney said from the sidelines of tonight’s show."I am devastated watching everyone else tonight, they look fantastic and I am going to miss being a part of it."Supported by crutches, Rooney said it was great being able to try out something a little risky."These were my teenage rebellious years and I don’t get to go through with them because you’re very precious as an athlete and make sure you look after yourself and that’s why I’ve never been ice skating before," she said."I was really enjoying it, taking a challenge and actually having a bit of fun."Asked if she would come back for series two, Rooney said: "I’d love to, but only if you bring Jonathon back as well."Mr O’Dougherty said he was sad to be out of the game. "I’m really disappointed, I was looking forward to skating tonight … it was going to be fun."Rooney’s injury is the latest to plague the celebrity TV series.Fellow contestant and former Test cricketer Michael Slater was injured last weekend after his partner, Anya D’Jamirze, accidentally skated over his left hand, severing a tendon.Slater, 36, suffered massive bleeding but managed to drive himself to Sydney’s Royal North Shore hospital with a gaping hole in his hand.He is now sporting a cast from his fingers to the elbow but, unlike Rooney, has been able to continue in the show.Last month, Getaway star Jules Lund suffered a spinal injury on the ice in which he fainted and was temporarily unable to move, while Annalise Braakensiek began skating with a fractured rib.

And all the American version had was a skater stealing a married man away from his pregnant wife. 

We hear rumours of tinea becoming a problem in the Big Brother house. Apparently Big Brother crew members have been purchasing tinea treatments from pharmacies on the Gold Coast along with housemate’s regular prescriptions. Tinea (another term for ring worm) is easily spread through close living and everyday contact.

Better Ring Worm than an a STD! 

CHILD protection groups are calling for schools to take action amid fears young Big Brother fans will copy the show’s notorious "turkey slap" incident.Campaigners are concerned turkey slapping — males rubbing their crotches in females’ faces — could become a playground game when school resumes tomorrow.
"The Big Brother audience is made up of a great number of young children, who are pre-pubescent and impressed by this sort of behaviour," Family Association secretary Angelique Barr said."The competitors in the Big Brother house are like heroes to these children and so they need to be told that what their idols have done is wrong.
"Schools need to talk to the children about sexual harassment and explain that it is unacceptable for men to treat women in this way."
Hetty Johnston (pictured), founder of child protection group Bravehearts, said: "Children have to be told that this is disgraceful behaviour."Unfortunately, many youngsters will have seen this incident and think it’s funny, and believe that if they do it they will look cool."I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the latest sexual offence to go around the schools."But Tony McGruther, president of the Queensland Association of State School Principals, said schools would not be discussing the incident"We wouldn’t want to address that incident because it would give it notoriety," he said."Discouragement of harassment of any kind comes under the broader heading of bullying and is and addressed very quickly."

A new twist in the Camilla incident is making the rounds. On yesterday’s Kyle and Jackie O radio show John’s father called in and passed along information given to him. He said an anonymous tipster had told him that on Friday afternoon at approx. 1.30pm Camilla said group of housemates she wanted to be turkey slapped. Although Camilla’s conversation is unconfirmed, John’s father believes Big Brother knew about it all along and wants to persue legal action against the producers. Meanwhile talk of legal threats is happening all over the place: Ashley’s family are also looking at suing producers/Channel 10. We also hear Endemol Southern Star have threatened action against John and Ashley is they break their contracts and say anything "bad" about Big Brother. On top of this an article published in News Limited papers yesterday states Camilla has the ability to sue the production team if she feels she was sexually harassed by the boys.

Behind Big Brother Australia 

The communications watchdog has found the Ten Network did not breach any broadcasting rules over a controversial incident on its reality television show Big Brother.
Communications Minister Helen Coonan said there was no breach because a hole existed in current rules governing internet broadcasts of that nature.
She said she had ordered the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to undertake a major review of the television code with a view to extending it to the internet "Essentially what ACMA has found … is that because the internet footage was screened live as a webcast, and not stored, it isn’t technically broadcast (under the existing Broadcasting Services Act)," she told reporters in Sydney
Housemates Michael "Ashley" Cox, 20, and Michael "John" Bric, 21, were removed from the Big Brother compound on the Gold Coast following the incident involving Camilla Halliwell, 22, on Saturday.The footage was streamed on the internet to a limited audience via a paid service restricted to over 18s, and Ten’s rivals, Seven and Nine, have shown parts of it on their news programs.It showed Cox and Bric in bed with Halliwell, and appeared to show Bric holding her down while Cox rubbed his crotch in her face The men have apologised but insist it was a joke that went sour.
