1:36PM Jess McGuire | You’re all massive Packed To The Rafters fans, aren’t you? The ratings would indicate most of you are, so I’m sure you’re extremely excited about Ben Rafter’s pop career. The very nice people at Sony have sent me the artwork for Hugh Sheridan’s next single ‘All About Me’. I suggest we take a look. More »

10:31AM Jess McGuire | I have only ever seen one episode of Packed To The Rafters. Does that make me un-Australian? Probably. I didn’t hate it, if that helps keep my citizenship. And since my mother has texted me in the past (apropos of nothing) to inform me that it is her favourite show and she never ever misses it if she can help it, I am going to feign interest in the following news story.

12:48PM Jess McGuire | Nothing gets me more revved up than the Logies. Remember Defamer Australia’s highly entertaining live blogging of last year’s ceremony? Good times. And now the list of nominations for the 2009 TV Week Logie Awards have been announced, and I’m pretty much shitting myself with glee. TELEVISION’S! NIGHT! OF! NIGHTS!

2:05PM Jess McGuire | It’s strange… I hadn’t really wondered whether Rebecca Gibney, the Australian theatrical icon of Flying Doctors and Packed To The Rafters glory, had ever had sex with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. But I suppose I must be one of the very few people out there who had never heard the rumour of their horizontal dalliance. Unlucky me!
Now that I do know such a rumour exists, I can quickly dismiss it as Rebecca has very kindly cleared things up on the Mick-Jagger-rutting front.
Rebecca Gibney has a long-standing urban myth about her younger days and a supposed relationship with legendary lothario and Rolling Stone Mick Jagger.

Llllet’s Get Reeeaaady To (Ratings) Ruuuumble!
9:36AM Clem Bastow | Since Channel Seven have been portentously telling us about their post-Olympics premieres with the hilariously epic “AFTER THE OLYMPICS” promos for all their new material, it’s doubtful that there’s a single person in the country who doesn’t realise that every network has been waiting for today (or, in Ten’s case, last night) to start pummelling you with new shows and ratings-grabbing programming decisions. Got your TV guide and a highlighter ready? Good, here’s the word from the network heads:
Seven will lead the launch with nine new or fresh series starting this week, with Nine and Ten staggering their news shows over several weeks.

Remember That Starlet They Called ‘The New Cate Blanchett’?
10:20AM Clem Bastow | You may recall earlier in the year that Confidential attempted to start some sort of starlet prize fight by implying that up-and-comer Jessica Marais was “the new Cate Blanchett”. Well, whether she is or isn’t, Marais has gone and got herself a starring role in the new Seven drama, Packed To The Rafters (which I hope is the hard-hitting story of a family self-storage business in downtown Footsgray, but I suspect I will be disappointed):
“Serious television certainly helps revive your passion for theatre. It’s been great fun, but I’ve definitely got the theatre bug back in me. I love the excitement, the spontaneity.
