Alex Perry’s Future’s So Bright, He Wears His Shades On His Head

There are some people who continue to be given television work despite having the personality of (to borrow a phrase from one especially witty Defamer Australia commenter) a plank of wood with eyebrows drawn on, and then there are people who bewilderingly seem never to be able to catch a television break. And then there are the TV signings that you wouldn’t have thought of in a million years but that, once they exist, seem like the best idea ever. And any television idea featuring the phrases “Alex Perry” and “crazy stuff … at weddings” in quick succession is bound to be a winner!

Sydney’s king of red carpet couture is set for his close-up, after inking a deal to host his own program on Foxtel.

While filming has been slated for weekends and nights in October to fit around the fashionisto’s demanding schedule, he says the TV show promises to be something “fun and different” and not a Big Brother-style behind-the-scenes snapshot of his hectic life.

“I would really love to do a bridal aspect because the craziest stuff always happens at weddings,” Perry told Confidential.

Oh yes please. Seeing some Sydney society princess spacking herself because Perry hasn’t spaced her pearl buttons correctly would be television to die for (note: I am using random emphasis because it’s the fashion way, darlings). Dear Foxtel, please make this happen!
