AAA: What's Going on? |

My dear diary entry today is kinda inspired by all the 'loved up' posts I've been reading. My heart hasn't really been in this journal yet, I just got it to try to persuade people to come on my show, but the more I think about it the more I realise what a good idea this community is. We are all the slightest bit famous so we can all relate to the pressures of maintaining a somewhere near normal relationship amongst this media circus we all call life. Through Bel's cancer our lives would've been easier if the contrant glare of the media was absent. Saying that, without the media then other people would'nt have contacted us and shared their recovery story's with us. They were a source of strength through Bel's treatment. Knowing that other people had overcome this thinkless thing inspired her even more to fight. And without the media, I wouldn't have a job. My job is, partly, the one thing that I hate about the media. Questioning people about personal things that they may not feel comfortable discussing but because the celebrity obsessed public want to know these questions have to be asked or you're considered boring, no one tunes in and your show gets cancelled. Not something I want to happen. Back to the love. Without media I wouldn't have found Bel. So I guess we have a love/hate relationship. I've given in to a sort of 'if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' set up with the photogs over here in Oz. If Bel and I are out and they see us, we agree to pose for a few shots and then they generally leave us alone. Anyone else feel like this? Or do you avoid negotiating with the press? I'm just fed up of fighting them one day and then becoming them when I'm filming my show. It's generally best for everyone to keep them onside and to try and have the most positive relationship you can with them. Mmmm. Maybe I should stick to discussing non serious topics because this has become a bit of a waffling post. Sorry guys. Hope you found something here that you can relate to.

Finally getting around to doing that coveted third entry. I really wanted to do and sooner and be able to join MBP, but I've been so busy lately. I know some hard-core liverjournal-ers will say that's no excuse, but it's the best I can do I'm afraid. The amount of friends I have on here is still looking pretty pathetic. I need to find some fellow Aussies to talk to! I was reading Daniel Jone's (the guy who broke up Savage Garden) entry in the must be australian group thingy and I felt glad that some of us Aussies feel that we can have a successful career and not have to move to America or whatever. I'm not saying that it's bad or wrong to move to another country, I'm just againt the idea that you have to move to get a better career. Why do American tv presenters have great careers without leaving their country but it's considered 'going up in the world' for an Aussie or a Brit personality to 'break' America. I'm happy where I am. I'm proud to fly the flag for fellow Antipideans!

Making friends here is harder than I thought it would be. I suppose it'll be easier when I have joined MBP. I recently found out that Rove Live! is a hit in the UK. I knew they were showing it over there but I hadn't heard anything about the ratings. I need a vacation. Anyone got any suggestions of where to visit?
