Is Eddie About To Be Boned By Tell-All Tome?

Eddie McGuire is said to be sweating as he – and seemingly all Australians with the ability to read, if you believe News Ltd – nervously awaits an unauthorised biography being penned by a former Channel Nine staffer.

Just what is in said book? Buggered if we know what, since it seems no one is the wiser other than to say it will cast more light on Eddie’s love of “boning” than ever before.

In what is expected to be one of the most highly-anticipated releases of 2008, it can be revealed former Nine reporter and personality Patrick Lindsay is well under way writing the McGuire story.

The game show host is understood to be “nervously” co-operating with the author, who has previously penned biographies on General Peter Cosgrove and triathlete Greg Welch.

…On the back of Gerald Stone’s devastating tome, Who Killed Channel 9, this book, which will almost certainly dig up his troubled time as CEO and that “boning” comment, is poised to be yet another headache for Nine and McGuire.

Poor Eddie; we’re sure that behind that maniacal grin there lurks the tears of a clown. He probably goes home every night to his well-loved stuffed magpie toy, Bony, and has a good cry about it all.

We, however, just want to know if the book will shed some more light on this photo from 2005:

Lock in that final round of flaming Sambuca shots, Eddie!
