Jessica Rowe Gets Boned Again!

8:39AM Jess McGuire | Poor old Jessica Rowe! It’s safe to say that the latest event in her career as a news reader probably won’t get a mention next time she compiles a list of ‘My Best Times’. You see, after a very famous ‘boning’ by Channel Nine, she’s had her (employment) heart broken again – this time by the (boss) lover who swore he’d treat her right, Seven! Newsreader Jessica Rowe – famously boned by former Nine Network chief Eddie McGuire in 2006 – has been sacked again, this time by the Seven Network. Rowe, 38, is reportedly angry at Seven’s decision not to renew her contract. A popular evening newsreader at the Ten Network before being poached by Nine to co-anchor the network’s Today show, Rowe was later picked up by Seven.

Today Show’s Fill-In Host Mysteriously Collapses On Air.

3:03PM Jess McGuire | Kellie Connolly, a fill in co-host on Channel 9’s Today show, made headlines this morning when she fainted during a cooking segment on the show. The Age reports - The Nine Network’s Today show co-host Kellie Connolly has collapsed on air. Connolly, a fill-in host on the show, collapsed about 8.10am during a cooking segment with Toby Puttock, of Jamie Oliver fame. She appeared to faint and was helped up by co-host Richard Wilkins and Puttock. Connolly appeared dazed and was assisted off the set as the program went to an ad break. Connolly returned to the presenters desk about 15 minutes later, attributing the dizzy spell to her 3am wake-up. “Anyway, I’m fine thank you, I’m not pregnant, I’m not diabetic, it was just one of those things,” she said. Earlier, Wilkins returned from the ad break reassuring viewers his co-host was okay. “She had a little moment, she had a dizzy spell, she’s fine, especially if you’re Kelly’s mum, she wants you to know she’s fine.” Connolly was standing in the studio kitchen watching Puttock make an Italian panaforte dessert when she could be heard collapsing while momentarily off camera. She returned to shot as Puttock and Wilkins were assisting her to her feet, saying: “Yeah, yeah, I’m fine, I’m fine. Sorry guys I might need some of your sugar fixes with the panaforte. “Do you mind if I go for a walk?” Connolly is filling in as co-host after Jessica Rowe was recently sacked from the position. Now, Defamer Australia don’t like conjuring up a load of conspiracy theories during times like these, but… no wait. We just like coming up with conspiracy theories. Here are a few things we suspect could be behind Kellie Connolly’s mysterious collapse on air. More »
