Jackie O Has Taken A Well Deserved Break

1:20PM Jess McGuire | Ever since Austereo became a dirty word, it seems everyone in the Australian media is all up in Kyle Sandilands’ proverbial grill – but what is sidekick Jackie O doing in the wake of the scandal that threatens to ruin her radio career? Why, she’s taking a well earned holiday, thank you for asking. More »

Austereo Loses Major Advertisers

11:25AM Jess McGuire | Uh-oh. Even though The Kyle & Jackie O Show is off the air (admittedly, this was the choice of host Kyle Sandilands but whatever), Austereo is still suffering in the wake of the lie detector scandal with major advertisers no longer wanting to be associated with the Austereo brand.

Did You Miss Last Night’s Media Watch?

12:13PM Jess McGuire | Not entirely unexpectedly, Media Watch dedicated a fair chunk of last night’s show to talking about The Kyle and Jackie O Show saga that has dominated the Australian media over the last week.

Popbitch Reports On Kyle And Jackie O Stunt

12:37PM Jess McGuire | I’m always interested to see how foreign media types whose opinions I actually value report on Australian news stories, so as soon as I saw the words “Australian breakfast radio stoops low” in the list of things this week’s Popbitch newsletter planned on discussing, I was immediately curious. Here’s what they had to say. More »

The Kyle And Jackie O Show Hook Teen Up To Lie Detector On Air… With Disastrous Results

3:06PM Jess McGuire | I’m not sure exactly what Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O were hoping to achieve by hooking a fourteen year old girl up to a lie detector machine and then asking her about sex and drugs on air. Gripping and powerful radio? Perhaps – if you were born without a brain and a soul. It was never going to end well. Turns out the fourteen year old girl had been raped. More »

Are Kyle And Jackie O Buying Twitter Followers?

3:00PM Jess McGuire | It seems hard to believe that anyone in their right mind could accuse ultra charismatic and likable radio pair Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O of needing to buy friends on social media sites. Surely Kyle’s pleasant personality and Jackie O’s razor sharp wit would be more than enough reason to want to follow the pair’s every move?

Pink Loves Kyle & Jackie O, Flirts With Rove McManus On Twitter

6:09PM Jess McGuire | Twitter is messing with my head. I keep finding myself strangely enthralled reading the banter of B-list celebrities, and also marvelling at the fact an astounding number of Australian journalists seem to have a twelve year old girl’s grasp of the English language. I understand it’s 140 characters or less, people, but for the love of god – stop using text talk to get your point across! YOU’LL NEVER WIN THE TWITTER EQUIVALENT OF A WALKLEY AT THIS RATE! Anyway! Moving on… here’s something I just spotted on Pink’s Twitter account. More »
