But one mother who won’t be getting any love from Aussies is Sharon Osboure, who is now under the pump down under after calling Australians smug.

TV celebrity made headlines here recently for apparently hating singer Dannii Minogue, but now she has criticized all citizens in our shores.

The louder-than-life whiney Pom had an outburst during an episode of the US version of The Celebrity Apprentice, where she urged host Donald Trump to fire an Australian contestant.

The business hopeful, called Curtis Stone, was shocked to hear her remarks, and even more shocked by the ease at which she said it.

When asked by Donald Trump what she thought of fellow contestant, Australian TV chef Curtis Stone, Osbourne replied, “He is very smug.”

Singer Cyndi Lauper jumped in, saying, “He’s Australian.”

“Yeah, I know,” Osbourne responded.

“Put another shrimp on the Barbie. He is too smug for me.”

“Are all Australian’s like that?” a surprised Ivanka Trump asked.

“Yeah, usually, yeah,” Osbourne responded.

Osbourne has been known in the past for her dislike of Aussies, but has never really gone far enough to offend all of them, until now.

The Age columnist, Catherine Deveny, was sacked yesterday following s series of crude and offensive tweets during the awards night.

Deveny tweeted, “I hope Bindi gets laid” and “Rove and Tasma look so cute.. I hope she doesn’t’ die too..”

The backlash by the media was so bad that the newspaper terminated her role as a senior writer.

But, Deveny has hit back today, saying that the publication has in fact succumbed to commercial tabloid pressures by making the decision.

Deveney today said that her posts were taken out of context.

“It was just passing notes in class, but suddenly these notes are being projected into the sky and taken out of context,” she said.

“This [the Bindi Irwin comment] was a ludicrous remark that was as ridiculous as me saying I hope the dog that Molly Meldrum brought with him got drunk.”

“I meant every single word. I love Rove. I worked for Rove for five years. I’ve publicly said and printed I would take a bullet for him. He endorsed my first book on the front cover.”

The Age editor in Chief Paul Ramadge made the call to ask her to move on, and stands by his decision.

“We are appreciative of the columns Catherine has written for The Age over several years but the views she has expressed recently on Twitter are not in keeping with the standards we set at The Age,” Ramadge wrote in The Age.

The 2010 Logies Red Capret had it all, and we were there to capture it all…..

Check out the headturners onTVs night of nights…

And his performance as host of the annual TV logie Awards on Sunday night proved it.

So far so good is the message from critics after the veteran personality lit up another masterful performance for Australian audiences.

Hosting the event without a teleprompter, Newton was instantly at home, and provided laughs from the start.

“You like me, you really like me,” he said taking a quote from Sally Field’s infamous Oscars acceptance speech.

“Tonight we are able to pay tribute to the people behind our favourite TV shows – the comedians, the chefs and the criminals.

“This is number 19 for me at the Logies – I knew they’d come to their senses eventually,” Newton added.

Former Big Brother host Gretel Killeen was last year’s host, and came under mush criticism as she made headlines for the wrong reasons.

This year, however, it was a different story, the critics loved him.

“Bert brought a little class back to the show, working without a teleprompter and firing off a few trademark asides,” one website said.

“His sporadic appearances probably left the audience wanting more.

“Overall it was about reinstating tradition and it played that card very well.”

And even thought he ratings wer slightly down on previous years, nothing can be taken away from Bert on his night of nights.

The veteran actor pipped Rebecca GIbney for the award and delighted thousands of Australians who have campaigned for the man to finally win the prestigious award.

But Gibney didn’t leave empty handed, she too  home a silver logie, and her show Packed to the Rafters took home three gongs.

That’s the news coming out of Australia today, after Firass Dirani was last night named the 2010 Cleo Bachelor of the Year.

For those of you who don’t know, Dirani plays the character of nightclub owner John Ibrahim in the latest series of Underbelly: The Golden Mile.

The crown was also seen as an early birthday present for the newly popular actor, with his 26th birthday being today.

The magazine said Firani typified everything the Cleo looks for in a perfect male and in the male they wanted to represent to the rest of the country.

It wasn’t exactly an ugly field either, Firnai had to edge out a bunch of AFL players, many surfers, TV and radio presents, other actors and high class professionals in their field of work.

More than 250,000 votes were cast, the most in the competition’s history.

Sunrise weatherman James Tobin was in second spot, with Jarod Green, the man behind the online cartoon sensation Beached Az, in third.

Dirani actually tipped celebrity chef Curtis Stone to take out the prize, but was over the moon with his announcement.

“It’s exciting. I’m happy just to be in the top 50, that was good enough for me,” he said.

“The whole thing is fun. It’s good to be part of things like this. It’s fun and games.”

This time the fiery red head politician is in the spotlight for who she wants to sell her house to.

Her Brisbane property has been put on the market, bur Hanson said she wouldn’t sell it to any foreign Asian or Muslim.

In an interview today with Sunrise, the former One Nation party leader said she just wants an Aussie to buy her house.

West Australian Premier Colin Barnett accepted his resignation and said his friend had run out of political “lives”.

Mr. Barnett held a press conference today and told the media pack there his decision as made after revelations of his affair and admissions that he often used taxpayers’ funds.

It is believed Mr. Buswell used workers money to pay for hotels and other expenses to accommodate his affair.

“You have no lives left. There is no excuse” is what the state leader said he told Mr. Buswell.

“He has however, showed very poor judgment.”

The affair as apparently with Greens MP Adele Carles, and although it is not a sackable offence, it just added to a growing list of no-no’s the politician had.

“While I consider the relationship between Troy and Ms Carles a personal matter, Troy’s actions in relation to the use of his Government entitlements in this matter is unacceptable,” Mr. Barnett added in a statement.

“As a result, this morning I informed the Treasurer that I believed his position as Treasurer and Minister was now untenable. Troy offered me his resignation, which I accepted. This was the appropriate course of action.”

Mr. Barnett said he would take over in Mr.Buswell’s role until after May 20.

The Canadian pop sensation was meant to be performing for the television show Sunrise, in front of a live audience, but things went pear shaped when crowd chaos kicked in.

It’s believed that when time neared for the singer to hit the stage, a stampeded began inside the crowd, full of young teenagers.

Unfortunately, eight teenagers were hospitalized during the event, one with a broken leg, and many others with bruises, and exhaustion.

Hundred of youths had to be carried over the main fence, fighting for breath as they collapsed to the ground in sweat.

For those of you who thought a young singer could not have caused such a dramatic event, think again.

Fans of this heartthrob are more than crazy, they are obsessed!

The frenzied crowd began to surge forward in the Circular Quay area, prompting police to cancel the event.

Many are still recovering from dehydration problems form the crowd and many have been emotionally scarred form far on the day.

In a Twitter.com post to fans, a disappointed Bieber sympathized with his fans, and apologized for the tragic event.

“I want to sing for my fans. I want to make this clear… I don’t cancel… I woke up this morning to the police canceling the show for safety reasons,” he tweeted.

The famous actor has reportedly checked himself into a Melbourne rehabilitation hospital for undisclosed reasons.

Those ‘undisclosed’ reasons are believed to be drug and alcohol problems, which is believed to be a vive of the young actor for some years.

It was reported today in the Herald Sun that the 33 year-old had admitted himself in the rehab centre some time this month.

The news comes just weeks after Newton proposed to his actress girlfriend Rachel Taylor, who famously starred in the movie Transformers.

According to the story, Newton’s family, fronted by the much loved father Bert, said they would stick by him no matter what, and that they just want what’s best for their son.

“We want what’s best for Matthew and we are with him all the way,” Bert Newton told the papers.

In addition to Bert, family friend Jillian Bowen echoed those words of the Newton’s, saying she hopes Matthew is doing well.

“Matthew is in hospital at the moment, but we do ask people to understand that this is a private time and we won’t be discussing any details,” She said.

The timing of the events could not be worse, however, with Bert scheduled to make his triumphant return to the small screen when he host the annual Logie Awards on Sunday night.
