Defamer Australia loves Mark Philippoussis and his turbulent love life.

Not too long ago, Mark turned to the power of reality television to find him some true romance, the general premise behind which being that The Poo would be given access to a group of "kittens" (ie. younger ladies) and a group of "cougars" (women of a more mature vintage) and select one lucky lady from amongst the pack to be his new paramour.

When the show began, we immediately threw our pointless support behind him, and when we heard he'd been polite and respectful when meeting the prospective geriatric dates, well, we felt like a proud parent watching their only child toddle off for their first day at school and manage to resist pointing out that their new teacher is really, really old and scarily corpse-like.

Surprising absolutely no one, The Poo ended up selecting a "kitten" - a 26 year old cheerleader with whom Mark enjoyed deep philosophical conversations about life, love, and the meaning of existence, no doubt - but it didn't work out. Woe!

The good news is, The Poo has moved on from this heart-related tragedy, and found happiness once again in the arms of a 24 year old Zoo Weekly cover girl Siobhan Parekh. We're relieved to note Mark's slowly upgrading each post-Age Of Love girlfriend to a younger model, and if things don't work out with Siobhan, we hope it'll mean an eventual return to the loving and youthful arms of hot teenager models as soon as humanly possible.

Of course, maybe The Poo has changed? Maybe he's tired of superficial relationships with women much younger than himself, women who are yet to find themselves or speak with the wisdom only time can bring? Or maybe he's just sick of shelling out big bucks for new designer suits during the year twelve formal season?
