Please Welcome The Latest Addition To The Cartwright-Hewitt Clan

7:06AM Jess McGuire | I started my Tuesday with an explosion of joyous expletives after discovering that not only had Bec and Lleyton Hewitt finally offered up confirmation to the good people of Australia that their second child – a boy – had entered the world, but they named him… oh god… they named him… IT’S TOO MUCH! I’M TOO HAPPY ABOUT THIS! YOU MUST READ FOR YOURSELVES! Tennis ace Lleyton Hewitt has turned to soccer star David Beckham for inspiration in naming his newborn son. Lleyton and his wife Bec are celebrating the birth of their second child, Cruz. Cruz was born in Sydney’s Royal North Shore hospital on Thursday. He is a brother to Mia, 3. I always said (with love, naturally) that the Cartwright-Hewitts were the Bi-Lo Beckhams of this fine country of ours, and now they’ve gone out of their way to confirm it. I think Lleyton’s grandfather sums things up nicely. More »

Bec ‘N’ Lley-Lley’s Manager Is Disappointed In Us All

1:02PM Clem Bastow | Briefly in the scurrilous gossip magazine rumours department, we bring you news that will surely be devastating for all of you out there: Bec Hewitt is not, I repeat, not pregnant. How do we know? The Hewitts’ manager David Drysdale wants us all to go stand in the naughty corner. “I’d be one of the first to hear about (a pregnancy),” he said. “(The rumours) are pretty disappointing.” David would be really disappointed if it turned out Bec was with child, and he wasn’t one of the first people they told, wouldn’t he? Talk about setting yourself up for a fall! Anyway, the hopes of a nation – i.e. that another bum-chinned heir to the cashed-up-bogan crown would be provided – will have to be iced for the next little while. Damn you, Woman’s Day! More »

The Pain Of Lley Lley ‘N’ Bum-Chin Summed Up In One Beautiful Photoshop Job

9:00AM Clem Bastow | It seems the Cartwright-Hewitts are starting to realise that selling their firstborn souls to the women’s mags may not have been a great idea as it seemed when they discussed it at their remedial English class, with Lleyton Hewitt having a whinge to the UK press about how “We are on the front cover of a certain level of magazine every week,” he said. “The last story was ‘Bec’s Breakdown’, full of lies and made-up quotes, but then a lot of people believe it.” However, what really tickled our fancy about this story was the masterful bit of Photoshoppery that the News Ltd team managed to whip up for the piece: Isn’t that visceral? It’s like their pain has been boiled down and reduced to one powerful JPEG. Heady stuff. And in closing, poor baby, diddums, etc. Maybe think about that next time Ita Buttrose (or whoever) comes knocking at the maternity ward door with a fat chequebook. More »

Bec Hewitt Changes Hair, Sadly Does Nothing About Bum-Chin

1:09PM Clem Bastow | In news set to excite the readership that apparently warranted the UK press’ constant coverage of Kylie Minogue’s various hairstyles, our lady of the bum-chin, Bec Hewitt, has given herself what looks to be a home dye job – and what a stunning colour it is, too! If we were Joh Bailey, we’d say it was “Influenced by that great lothario of old, Pepe Le Pew, but with a modern twist” – though clearly the team at Confidential was as stumped for adjectives as Our Bec probably was for choice when faced with the dye section at Priceline: True, it’s a paradigm shift the likes of which has never been seen in the ex-soapie stars/current tennis WAGs world until today. She has been a blonde and a brunette – but never before has Bec Hewitt been both at the same time. Now all we need is for Baby Mia to be given her own child-sized version of mummy’s fashionable hairdo and the entertainment for this year’s Logies ceremony is done and dusted! More »

Bec Hewitt’s Sudden Change Of Gossip Mag Heart

11:30AM Clem Bastow | For a while there it looked as though baby Mia Hewitt was destined to grow up entirely within the pages of Woman’s Day, sort of like Sally from Home & Away but trapped inside the pages of a magazine. Well, hasn’t Ms Bum Chin herself changed her tune – evidently Bec “Rebecca Hewitt” Cartwright has decided enough’s enough and that children’s birthday parties are – shockingly – for children rather than bored housewives and patients in GPs’ waiting rooms to enjoy. Just one month ago, Bec ended her two-year contract as a columnist with the ACP-owned Woman’s Day – the magazine that reportedly shelled out more than a million dollars to own the exclusive rights to Mia’s birth. At the time it was believed to be a record sum paid locally by a magazine, but two years and a stash of sappy stories later, it would appear the tennis mum is no longer looking to sell her family album to the public. “Bec is no longer contracted to Woman’s Day and she is not looking to renew that contract with the magazine,” the Hewitts’ manager David Drysdale said yesterday. “Bec and Lleyton would prefer to keep Mia’s birthday a private affair, and enjoy a special family day together without any media present.” This from the couple who thought their newborn baby would really enjoy being gussied up in a mini-me version of Bec’s formal gown and bounced up and down on the Logies stage about eight hours after bedtime. We just won’t know what to do with ourselves without Bec’s latest “baby pain” or “marriage secrets”! More »
