Right around the time he was crowned the most recent Cleo Bachelor Of The Year, MTV Australia dude Jason Dundas had just suffered the indignity of having free-spirited whale lover Isabel Lucas slip through his fingers and into Adrian Grenier's 5000-thread-count organic hemp sheets.

As though that wasn't bad enough, now the poor sod's sometime girlfriend, model and INXS spawn April Rose Pengilly, is out the door and being seen about town with Australia's Next Top Model "mentor", Jonathon Pease (that's them in the pic; incidentally, does anyone else feel vaguely queasy about that?), leaving Dundas very much a Bachelor through and through.

Just a week after Dundas and Pengilly's romance was splashed over the pages of Who magazine, the daughter of INXS guitarist Kirk yesterday confirmed her new romance with Australia's Next Top Model mentor Jonathan Pease.

After being busted by a Confidential spy snogging across the table at Establishment restaurant Sushi E last week, Pengilly and Pease were snapped out together as they attended the Sydney Film Festival premiere of In Bruges at the State Theatre on Saturday night.

The couple then kicked on with friends including Channel 7 weathergirl Sara Groen at Kings Cross haunt Piano Bar before leaving hand in hand about 1.30am.

Poor Jason; given that in previous years the Cleo Bachelor hasn't actually been, you know, a bachelor (step right up, Mr Andrew "Long Term Long Distance Love Affair" G and Mr Andy "Megan Gale" Lee), he must've been hoping the crown would just be his reliable poon tang safety net, not a life sentence.
