Everybody Loves Box

After her star turn at The Logies ably playing the part of Lovable Ditzy Token Woman, not to mention her regular appearances on Channel Ten's Thank God You're Here! playing Lovable Ditzy Token Woman and her second place finish in the last Dancing With The Stars series where she won the nation's heart by being the Clumsy Lovable Ditzy Token Woman it would appear that the major television networks are frantically making advances toward the most wanted box in the country right now - Fifi Box.
The Triple M announcer has quickly become TV hot property since waltzing into the final of Seven's Dancing with the Stars earlier this month and winning a legion of fans.
While Nine managed to steal her away to co-host the Logies last week, it's understood she has so far rebuffed offers to join the network on a permanent basis - and even turned down a regular spot on Mick Molloy's new show The Nation.
Nine execs had hoped she would sign on for the gig after appearing in the pilot episode - shot during the final weeks of Seven's celebrity dance-off - before the program debuts against All Saints next month.
Sadly, it appears that Channel Nine will probably be out of luck when it comes to securing Box.
Although a Nine spokeswoman yesterday insisted "nothing has been confirmed" about whether Box would join the show, industry insiders revealed she had already passed on the project.
"The show will be based in Melbourne and (Box) really wants to concentrate on her Sydney commitments at the moment - particularly her radio show The Shebang," a source told Confidential .
Yes, Fifi's role on The Shebang - she is the Ditzy Token Woman of the team - certainly deserves her full and undivided attention.
But wait! Seven may still be in with a chance!
No doubt the news was well received by Seven, which is believed to be in talks with Box.
So that's that. In other news, box is sometimes an expression used to describe a vagina. Just in case you missed our brick-to-the-back-of-the-head shithouse attempts at dragging out a lame gag.

Fifi Box is a likeable bird but a panel member on a political panel show? I know plenty of smart, funny women but unfortunately they have opinions.

Imagine the attention they'd get if her name actually was Vagina. The headlines would be great! (VAGINA WINS THE RATINGS, things like that).
But isn't it a bit like that episode of Coupling where the characters keep on accidentally saying what they think? You know, "So I know this nice restaurant where we can get a very cheap penis - er, that is, meal!" "Oh, that sounds like a lovely vagina - I mean, idea!"
I mean, happens all the time...
