1:35PM Jess McGuire | I meant to write about this on Friday but I got distracted by something shiny and forgot about it.

His character Jack used to date Chloe, who was played by Kirsty Wright, who dated Dieter “Shane Parrish” Brummer in real life, who used to go out with Amy Canto who used to be in unsuccessful girl band Cherry.

9:02AM Jess McGuire | Did everyone tune into Australian Idol last night? I’m assuming the first episode of the new series will score some decent ratings for Channel Ten given that many viewers will want to catch a glimpse of Kyle Sandilands in the wake of his recent radio scandal and subsequent firing from the show, but I could be wrong.
