Surely Simmone Jade McKinnon’s Mortgage Repayment Situation Isn’t This Dire?
11:46AM Clem Bastow | Remember a while back we told you how the death of McLeod’s Daughters seemed to have left star Simmone Jade McKinnon’s mortgage repayments in a wretched state?
Well, a little bird in the form of the Hun’s Melbourne Confidential has, while rootling around on the auction site for, er, cargo pants, found some McKinnon/McLeod’s related items on eBay, so naturally I decided to get amongst the eBay bidding frenzy for the casual duds and see for myself – and here they are. From the auctions we can see that McKinnon is a Size 10 in the pants and a 12 in the top, and other such thrilling information.
Has it come to this, Simmone? Is “sambo.no.1” really you?
In any case, and on the topic of McLeod’s related eBay sales, I am more interested in this item, hilariously titled “From the famouse TV show Mcleods Daughter Size 12.”
Sadly, the auction turned out to be for a polo shirt, not an actual McLeod’s Daughter Sized 12. More’s the pity. More » 
Casey Donovan – Financially Fucked, But Cheerful Nonetheless
5:43PM Jess McGuire | Bless her cotton socks… Former Australian Idol winner Casey Donovan really is all about the music and appears to have developed a mature understanding regarding the financial burdens associated with being an “artiste”.
Three years ago she was the winner of Australian Idol;
these days Casey Donovan is broke but creatively fulfilled.
The singer, who was dramatically dumped by Sony BMG, has
released an independent EP, titled Eye2Eye. It is available
mainly via download on the internet but Donovan has also
self-funded 2000 printed copies of the CD for general
distribution.
“Oh my God, I am so poor right now, but you know, that’s the way
it is,” she said, with a laugh. “Hopefully I’ll recoup it all.”
Yup, it seems she’s learned the number one lesson integral to the
emotional growth of any Australian warbler prepared to face facts – the
Oz music scene is a fucking tough place, and you’re more than likely
going to spend most of your time broke as a joke unless your last name
happens to be Minogue.
Still, we commend Casey’s jovial approach to it all! We are rooting for you, and also hoping that your training with Guy Leech is going swimmingly.
