Flotsam & Jetsam
11:01AM Jess McGuire | I was just searching for a clip of Andrew G giving Marcia Hines grief on last Thursday night’s episode of Australian Idol (and I’m still looking, don’t worry – when I find footage, you’ll be the first to know) and somehow stumbled across a video someone has put together celebrating Andrew G’s relationship with model Noa Tishby.

Let’s Celebrate Noa Tishby And Andrew G’s Love

Small Screen
10:10AM Jess McGuire | I cannot believe that James Mathison, that adorably bug-eyed marble mouthed buffoon whose casual approach to television hosting won the hearts and minds of the Australian viewing public, has decided to leave the Australian Idol franchise that made him a star.

James Mathison Says Goodbye To Australian Idol
10:10AM Jess McGuire | I cannot believe that James Mathison, that adorably bug-eyed marble mouthed buffoon whose casual approach to television hosting won the hearts and minds of the Australian viewing public, has decided to leave the Australian Idol franchise that made him a star.

Australian Idol Round-Up: Final 10 Week
10:00AM Clem Bastow | Another week, another round of Australian Idol, this time with bonus Darren Hayes goodness and a bunch of “Aussie hits” (except when they were from New Zealand). What did the Final 10 sing? What did they wear? What did James Mathison have to say? What of Andrew G’s hair? For all this and more, let’s jump together into our traditional Monday discussion session. More » Andrew G Spends His Days In The Closet
11:25AM Jess McGuire | But don’t be whipping out a rainbow flag just yet. Andrew G’s marriage to Noa Tishby wasn’t a “bearding” at all – it turns out Andrew G works in the closet! For the radio! Isn’t technology grand? Nothing gay about it!
When teenagers tune in to 98 stations across Australia to hear Andrew Gunsberg counting down the top hits on Take 40 each week, little do they realise he might also be counting the number of shoes in his wife’s closet.
Actually, that opening paragraph does sound a little fruity…

Australian Idol Round-Up: The G’s Tips
9:27AM Clem Bastow | Generally speaking you would assume it’s not de rigeur for talent quest hosts to speak out about their favourites; I recall back in Year Dot of Australian Idol, Dicko spoke freely about who he did and didn’t fancy to win it, which felt strangely… wrong. Still, it’s always interesting to see who those who are privy to the backstage tantrums and day-long singing lessons are pegging their bets on. So, in the midst of this article about the Pacific Ocean being a handy contraceptive for Idol’s Andrew G and his lovely wife Noa Tishby (or something), we find The G’s picks to fill out the Final Four.

Australian Idol Round-Up: Final 12 Week
10:30AM Clem Bastow | So, finally, after two weeks of der-fred auditionees, delusional stage mothers and the indignity of the Wildcard show, Australian Idol has properly begun. And despite the inherent naffness of the “Idols’ Idols” theme and extended slow-motion-childhood-photo-montage action, it was actually one of Idol’s better kick-offs. Shall we hold hands and discuss it all over the jump? More » 
Preemptive Australian Idol Round-Up: SMS Will Be Charged At 50c Per Message
10:49AM Clem Bastow | So it’s now T-minus three days and counting until Australian Idol hits our airwaves once more, and I am personally eagerly waiting for the Coming Of God (aka James Spargo) but Channel Ten have SIX DAYS of auditions all up in this bitch; from Sunday to Friday they’ll be wheeling out their best loonies and young girls singing Whitney Houston songs and making Marcia cry. Ten have also announced changes to the voting system that will mean Monday elimination nights will begin with a “last chance” sing-off for the bottom three contestants:
The three facing elimination will take to the stage to perform once more in “a last-ditch effort to win over the audience, build on their vote and prove worthy to continue the Idol journey”.
After their performances, the voting lines will re-open, to enable Australia to save their favourite two singers. Then co-hosts James Mathison and Andrew G will join them on stage to reveal the contestant leaving the competition.
While this looks like a fair go for all, all it really means is mo’ money for Ten, which is unsurprising, but I’d like to take a moment to discuss what is possibly the most terrifying publicity photo I have ever seen: More » 
Like Every Other Straight Male In The World, Andrew G Once Dreamt About Marrying A Totally Hot Model
8:53AM Jess McGuire | What sets Andrew G apart from most other men on the planet though was the fact he actually managed to pull it off… and then, after his teen years were over, marry a real live model!
“I had a dream when I was eight about a woman who looked like Noa,” G tells today’s OK! Magazine.
“I had an overwhelming feeling about it and when I met her on the beach in Bondi I thought, ‘I know you. You’re the girl in my dream’.”
Awwwww. Melts. Then vomits. Then cries, alone. More » Mazel Tov To Andrew G And Noa Tishby!
10:11AM Clem Bastow | In news that will likely have twice-dumped Cleo Bachelor Of The Year Jason Dundas crying into his Weet-Bix, former title-holder Andrew G has tied the knot!
The perma-tanned and questionably moustachioed/hair-styled [V] and Idol host married his long-term girlfriend, Israeli actress and model Noa Tishby (they were an item when he was Bachelor Of The Year, in fact), and we’ll get to gawp at the pics in one of the glossies next week.
For the time being, here’s the blushing bride’s take on it all:
“We’re bringing in people from all over – Australia, LA, London, Switzerland and Amsterdam,” Tishby told The Jerusalem Post, before the marriage ceremony over the weekend.
“We’re going to schlepp them all over the country – Jerusalem and Yad Vashem and the Old City, then the Dead Sea, Masada, then the Kinneret and the North,” she said.
“Andrew’s been here many times and he’s obsessed with Israel – it was very important for us to have (the wedding) here and use the opportunity to show people the country.”
Hip hip hip! Three cheers for the happy couple.
Defamer Australia sends its warmest congratulations to the happy couple, and would like to let G offsider and pal James Matheson that we are still single! More »
Andrew G, Have You Done Something To Your Hair?
4:17PM Jess McGuire | Do you know what the best part of this article talking about Andrew G’s impending nuptials to hot tamale Noa Tishby was?
No, it wasn’t the bit where we learned the saintly folk from Fremantle Media have been kind enough to offer Andrew G some time off the Australian Idol treadmill to get hitched in June, although that’s nice.
Australian Idol host Andrew G will take a special break from filming the program in June, because of his wedding to Israeli model Noa Tishby.
The marriage will take place in Israel, with a number of celebrity guests from Australia expected to attend. G, who is busy with wedding plans, is said to be thrilled that his bosses have been so understanding about rearranging his Australian Idol duties in time for the big day.
“Channel Ten and Fremantle Media have been so accommodating,” said Mark Morrissey, G’s agent, who confirmed the nuptials would take place in Israel next month.
Nup, the best bit about the article is that the photo accompanying it appears to show Noa pulling back Andrew G’s shirt in order to reveal a curious man-boob waxing job.
Is it just me? It’s just me, isn’t it?
