Mcnaughty Keen To Stress That She Doesn’t Like A Cockatoo

12:56PM Clem Bastow | This latest McNaughty fuss is making our heads spin, and not because of the cheap wine and three-day growth – now she reckons she wasn’t consulted about the Cockatoo Ridge “She likes a cockatoo” (GEDDIT) campaign that is currently ruffling feathers amongst the advertising industry and beyond. Says McNaught of the ads: “I wasn’t thrilled with what that line was implying,” Erin said. She said the company emailed the slogans to her for approval, but it was while she was moving to Melbourne to be in Neighbours and she didn’t see them in her inbox until later. “When I saw the slogan, I tried to stop them using that one but they said it was too late and they were already being printed. It was pretty disappointing,” she said. Other Cockatoo Ridge billboards display McNaught with slogans “Who’s a cheeky girl then” and “McNaughty but nice”. “I didn’t have a problem with the other two because they are in good fun,” she said. “But that one was a bit rude.” We’re inclined to believe McNaught – there’s nothing Australia likes more than a bit of slut-shaming, even when – as in McNaught’s case – said “sluttiness” comes from little more than an ‘I was young and needed the money’ photoshoot pre-fame. She has a steady boyfriend, after all – but then, “She likes a cock or… actually, just the one” probably didn’t wash with the blokes in marketing. More »

Mcnaughty In Trouble Again

11:15AM Clem Bastow | Poor old Erin McNaught just can’t seem to catch a break, although this time we’re inclined to agree with the naysayers. In short, there’s a bit of a kerfuffle regarding McNaughty’s appearance in Cockatoo Ridge’s new “She likes a cockatoo” ad campaign. GEDDIT? A COCK OR TWO? Lordy, there’s a party down the bottle-o – it’s like it’s 1956 and everyone’s invited! The wine label’s managing director Peter Perrin defended the campaign, stating: “It’s time for the brand to shake off its old image and get in the minds of mainstream younger Australian and European wine lovers.” McNaught wasn’t red-faced over the ad series’ sexual references either.

Mcnaughty Keen To Distance Herself From Pin-up Past …By Playing Hottie On Neighbours

10:20AM Clem Bastow | Poor old Erin “McNaughty” McNaught; giving Miss Universe a red hot crack in the shadow of Jennifer Hawkins and not even making it through to the finals, suffering the indignity of topless photos from her “I was young and needed the money” period, being called “McNaughty”. It seems the former beauty-queen and bikini model is so desperate to distance herself from her “hot” past that she’s turned to television, naturally. Gold Coast beauty queen Erin McNaught says her role as a co-host of Channel 10’s Cybershack and her recent signing as a cast member of Neighbours should finally distance her from being perceived as a glossy men’s mag model. Erin is contracted to Neighbours for three months with an option to become a permanent figure on the long-running show. What McNaughty doesn’t realise, though, is that choosing to “distance” yourself from the men’s mags doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll stop courting you or printing your pictures. We hope that her Neighbours role will be that of an acnefied library nerd with frizzy hair and a dark secret (i.e. Harold’s lovechild with Bouncer, or something), but we’re sure that, like most of this year’s season, we’re set to be disappointed.

McNaughty Cops A Wet One, Casts Her Net A Little Wider, Fishes For Compliments, Etc

10:21AM Clem Bastow | Remember Erin “McNaughty” McNaught, Australia’s ill-fated 2006 Miss Universe hopeful who was publicly supported by Donald Trump when topless photos (always a Miss Universe no-no) surfaced, only to be summarily voted out of contention before the finals? Well, in “slow news day” news, McNaughty has taken time out from her extremely busy schedule to add another LINE to her ROD and REELED IN a winner: appearing in a promotional DVD stuck to the cover of this month’s Modern Fishing magazine! The promotional video sees “Estuary Erin”, as her friends call her, wet a line with Sydney model Dan Trotter and his fishing mate Dan Burgess on a recent boating adventure near Coffs Harbour. The fisherwoman surprised her hosts with her knowledge of tackle – not the type used by her footy boyfriend Braith Anasta. Not much we can add to that, really, other than “Boom, boom!” More »
