Do YOU Have What It Takes To Bitch Alongside Napoleon?

12:29PM Clem Bastow | Napoleon Perdis, largely through his association with Australia’s Next Top Model, has become one of those “industry” types you either love to hate or hate to love; I find myself in between, except when he is fabulously sparring on the AusNTM final three contestants to slag each other off while in the chair (most memorably clapping his hands and shouting “I LOVE IT!” after getting Alice to lay into Steph in Cycle 3), then I just love to love him. Anyway, his Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics line has become big news in the States, so it seems he’s taken advantage of his growing overlord celebrity status and whipped up an Apprentice-esque reality/doco show. After an exhaustive search, Perdis has found a protege to run his business in the US – with every step filmed for a documentary reality series. Get Your Face On has followed the extravagant and entrepreneurial life of the former Parramatta powder prince. The series will introduce the Aussie dynamo, who waves his magic brush over 59 stand-alone stores and 800 outlets across the country, to US audiences. Provided it involves making wannabe models up to look like Amsterdam hookers and then having them pose in the front window of your flagship store, I for one am excited to see what Napoleon and his bronzer brush bring to the world of reality television.

Wil Anderson Forgiven By Shannon Noll For Unfunny Joke; One Down, Rest Of The Nation To Go

12:25PM Jess McGuire | In a Friday feel good story which is sure to warm the cockles of even the iciest heart, the papers are reporting today that Shannon Noll has officially kissed and made up with comedian Wil Anderson over Anderson’s disastrous comic jab directed at Shannon Noll’s dad a few years back. After admitting his jibe about Shannon Noll’s late father was “the biggest regret of my career”, Wil Anderson finally got to kiss and make up with the Australian Idol product live on air yesterday. But the fisticuffs were shelved for a studio love-in when Noll rolled up to Triple M headquarters to finally receive the hyped apology he has been expecting for more than two years. In between the many “mates” and the handshakes, the tension which has long simmered between the pair dissipated as Anderson sincerely admitted to having been a “total dickhead” Wait, was that last bit a general apology? If so, we accept. I won’t even pop on my beret of cynicism and put this entire thing down to an attempt to boost ratings/distract folk from the infamous Pissed At The Snowy concert. I’m glad you’re mates again, you handsome Aussie bastards. More »
