TV gossip this week

  • Margaret leaves The Apprentice – the saddest news since Blue announced they were reuniting. I'm guessing she won't be doing her PHD at Edinburgh...
  • ITV’s new show ‘Four Weddings’ is set to be a big hit, think the ‘Come Dine With Me’ format but instead of attending and rating each other’s dinner parties, four brides attend and rate each other’s weddings! I think ‘Bitchy Brides’ would have been a more fitting title?
  • Jessica Simpson’s agent at William Morris Agency stole the idea I pitched her. Flattering? No. Annoying? Yes.
  • Big Brother: the new format with Davina putting a non-housemate on the night bus home was just weird. Even Davina’s manic smiling couldn’t hide the awkwardness.
  • Susan Boyle out of rehab – Pete Doherty looks like he’ll be taking her place after being caught injecting drugs on a British Airways flight (allegedly). Brings a whole new meaning to joining the 'mile high club'.
  • A Swedish quiz show is in trouble with Ofcom for showing people staple gunning pieces of paper to themselves before the watershed. Sounds like high brow stuff – I predict it’ll be a Sky One acquisition in no time.
  • Ratings bomb for America’s 'I’m A Celebrity' with Brit chick Myleene Class. Perhaps because American celeb bookers just can’t get anyone decent… I mean, Janice Dickinson again? Aim a little higher, people.
  • Finally... Australian comedy sketch series, Chaser's War On Everything, has been taken off air for 2 weeks by broadcaster ABC after a controversial skit received complaints:
