T he Sta te M ember for Marrickv ille C ar-mel Tebbutt has v ehemently denied r u-mours of her resignin g f rom the L abor Party and relinquishing her seat.

Responding to reports in The Sunday Telegraph last week, Ms Tebbutt has dismissed spec ulation that she is retiring from state politics.

The article suggested state Labor members were ‘jockeying’ to replace Ms T ebbutt should she re-tire before the next election.

However the lon g ser ving L abor stalwart told the Inner Cit y W eekender that she had no idea where or how the rumour circulated.

“I don ’t kno w where tha t c ame f rom. I’ m not retiring. There will be no announcement of my re-tirement this week, nor will there be one in weeks to come,” Ms Tebbutt said.

The spec ulation ma y ha ve come f rom talk of the boundar y chan ges tha t w ill tak e effec t ne xt year that will require voters to elect a member for Summer Hill and Newtown.

The seat of Marrickv ille will disappear as a part of the changes.

Mayor J o Ha ylen was also men tioned in the same Telegraph article as a poten tial f ront r un-ner for the sea t of Summer Hill ho wever she dis-missed the speculation.

“I’m not sure where these rumours are coming from. C armel Tebbutt has not resigned, there is no vac ancy, it’s that simple,” Cr Ha ylen told the Weekender this week.

EDITOR'S DESK

The fibs and lies that would make Pinocchio proud

You know that Jim Carey movie, ‘Liar Liar’? As much as I’ m not Jim ’s bigg est fan, I often

think about that flick and wonder what the world would be like if we all just said i t as it is and told the truth.

Would the divorce rate be huge?Would the unemployment rate be so high tha t

Centrelink wouldn’t have the time to think about a new logo let alone spend millions of dollars cre-ating an example of a Kindergarten artwork?

Would Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting actu-ally be friends?

I wonder, really, how much life w ould actually change if we all just told the truth, all of the time.

My mother loves to tell the story of when I was a kid and I rev ealed that I’d been stealin g loose change f rom the tin in the ki tchen. Embarrass-ing, but gee it felt good to get it off my chest.

By the wa y, the more people I tell tha t stor y to the more I become the prime suspect here at Weekender headquarters when it comes to the charity chocolate box that always seems to come up short every month.

Consumer group Choice c ame up w ith some beauties when i t comes to stretchin g the tr uth this week.

The one tha t c aught m y ey e was Kleene x’s Mansize Tissues. A ccording to Choice, in a total contradiction of the produc t’s name and pur-pose, Kleenex Mansize Tissues have shrunk.

First, the bo x is substan tially smaller – about half the size of the old box. But so we don’t get all sniffy about it, Kleenex tries to reassure us tha t they’re still “big, strong two-ply tissues you love, just in a smaller box”.

Yet according to Choice, the w ording is clever: we’re not getting the same big, strong tissues we love – just big stron g tissues in g eneral. The tis-sues themselves have shrunk in size by almost 14 per cent. It’s an outrage!

And what about Credit Repair Australia?They char ge a non-refundable upf ront fee of

$990 to consumers who need their c redit file re-paired. You know, when tha t mobile phone bill you didn’t pay as a teenager comes back to haunt you when you’re trying to buy a new car?

Problem is, in most c ases, default listin gs and other information about your credit history can’t be removed from a report unless i t is pro ven to be wrong.

Choice sa ys: “ This compan y boasts of ha ving dealt with over 150,000 consumers in the last 10 years – and w e reckon that most of them w ould have been bet ter off not pa ying for this shonky service.”

We all tell white lies. Some of us tell bigger ones.Sometimes, what’s right stops us. S ometimes,

knowing we can get away with it does not.Challenge y ourself – this w eekend, tell the

truth in every single sector of your life. Simple?

The biggest race on the A ustralian rac-ing calendar draws the money in too.

Last year the TAB turnover in NS W on the race alone was $53.35 million, whilst turnover for all races on Melbourne Cup day was $95.2 million in NSW.

For the no vice who wan ts to ha ve a flutter on the cup, Marrickville TAB will have spec ially mark ed M elbourne Cup betting tickets.

The c ards are a vailable for W in and Place, Quinella, Flexi Box Trifecta, Flexi Box First Four and Mystery Box Trifecta.

There is also the ‘ Carnival Combo ’ which packag es fi ve bets in one tick et; a $1 each way bet on four horses and a $12 Box Trifecta on the same four hors-es. The punter can select their own four horses or take a mystery bet.

Whilst you may be enjoying your work function, don't for get to wa tch the big race. The Melbourne Cup gets underway on Tuesday, November 5 a t Flemington race course.

The race starts promptly at 3pm.

News in Numbers

A NSW Ambulance program has almost halved calls to Triple Zero (000) by the state’s most frequentcallers, providing them with a more appropriate means of health care, while freeing up ambulances.

The Frequent User Management initiative has resulted in a 45 per cent reduction in calls from target pa-tients, accruing a saving of more than

$160,000 in transport costs in three months. The initiative was launched to manage patients whose needs would be better met by an alternative health care route, other than 000.

Ambulance data for 2011-12 showed 497 of the most frequent callers were responsible for 10,124 calls, costing NSW $8.4 million (not including hospi-tal emergency department costs).

The 18 most frequent callers were responsible for 1,541 calls.

The multi-agency approach involved Ambulance NSW conducting one-on-one assessments with patients toidentify unmet needs, then liaising with health care providers and Local Health Districts, if appropriate,to develop solutions.

Local Government Minister Don Page has asked councils not to impose fines on people who have not registered their pools for a three-week grace period until November 19.

“The Division of Local Government, which administers the pools registry, has informed me that there have been technical problems with the register because of the large number of people attempting to register their pools at the last minute,’’ Mr Page said.

In a 24 hour period earlier this week, over 2,500 people an hour were regis-tering their pools.

By midday Tuesday, over 200,000 people had successfully registered their pools.

“This exercise was never about fines but always about safety, so I’m sure people will agree that issuing penalty

notices would not be appropriate under the current circumstances,” Mr Page said.

He reminded pool owners that they should go online and register their home pool before November 19.

I t’s often said tha t pets are a therap y to their o wners and Marrickv ille Council is apply ing tha t man tra to the community more broadly.

In what will be a 12 month trial, dog own-ers will be able to release their dogs off the leash at designated parks ac ross the Mar-rickville area.

Mayor Jo Haylen said the initiative had proven to brin g the communi ty together and used her own experience as an exam-ple of its success.

“Not l ong af ter I w as f irst e lected t o Council I met M errilyn and Maggie in Weekley Park, Stanmore who or ganised a petition of over 200 of their neighbours for a timed off-leash dog exercise area.

Prior to the trials though Cr Ha ylen said many dog owners had to take their dogs to Sydney Park in their cars.

“I had to drive my dog to Sydney Park to let her roam f reely. Now people c an walk their dogs to the park w ith the leash on, and take the leash off when they get to the park,” she said.

Warning issued over identify theft and letter box theft

Police from the Marrickville Local Area Command have issued a warning to local residents following a recent spate of thefts from letter boxes. As officers step up efforts to catch those responsible, locals are urged to make their letter boxes more secure and properly dispose of any financial information.

If you throw details of your identity in the bin, you could be ‘recycled,’ meaning, someone can turn those details from rub-bish to valuable information to create ac-counts or loan applications in your name.

Don’t throw anything away that can be used by criminals – rates notices, bills, letters, credit card statements can all be used to create a fake identity.

Shred all unneeded documents, don’t just throw them away and search your car and remove personal documents.

M ore than 50 Inner West wom-en and men a ttended a P ink Ribbon Breakfast a t Dulw ich Hill’s Last Drop C afe last F ri-

day to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).

Member for Marrickv ille, C armel T eb-butt hosted the ev ent w ith breast c ancer survivor and NBCF speak er Tina D oueihi talking about her o wn experience of sur-viving the insidious disease.

The event was one of man y held across Australia to raise money for further re-search on breast cancer.

Ms Tebbutt provided statistics that sent a message about the prevalence of breast cancer amongst women.

“October is Breast C ancer A wareness month. Breast cancer is the most com-monly diagnosed c ancer amon g w omen in Australia and one in eigh t women will be diagnosed with the disease in their life-time. Nine out of 10 w omen who develop

Projections are tha t b y 2020 , 17 ,210 women will be diagnosed with breast can-cer every year in Australia. This is an aver-age of 47 women every day.

However the death rate amongst women has reduced since the founda tion was established. In 199 4, when NBCF was founded, 30 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer lost their battle. In less than 20 years that percentage has halved.

Ms T ebbutt thank ed the Inner W est community for their g enerosity and said

the community had done a terrific job in raising funds for research and improving awareness.

“Together, Inner West women and men raised over $780 in dona tions and sale of merchandise which will go towards devel-oping better ways of diagnosing and treat-ing breast cancer and improving care.”

L ast F riday a t around 10pm a man entered the 7 Elev en store on Marrickv ille R oad, Marrick -ville and proceeded to hol d up

T wo S ydney artists ha ve found-ed a new political party to focus attention and resources on the arts in Australia.

Newtown residen t Nicholas Gledhill together w ith Kin gsford residen t P .J Collins (Pa trick J ames) launched The Australian Arts Party this week to an im-mediate groundswell of support around Australia. The success thus far has been in the marketing campaign.

Using c rowd-funding to g et the mes-sage ac ross to poten tial members, the fledgling party ’s c ampaign rock eted to 15 per cent of its membership goal within two days – purely on the stren gth of so -cial media – w ith memberships flooding in from all over the country.

The pair said the stren gth w ill come from A ustralians who believ e arts, c ul-ture and creativity matter.

“We ha ve 47 more da ys in the c am-paign and hope to not just reach, but to far exceed our initial federal registration target,” Mr Gledhill said.

He said Australian art, culture and cre-

ativity needed to be embraced, nurtured and ingrained w ithin Australians’ li ves, which would not only have a social ben-efit, but an economic one as well.

“They are true primary industries of this coun try, c reating w ealth and com-munity through our imagina tion, sweat and appreciation,” Mr Gledhill said.

“They are activities that inspire, enrich and change Australian lives. We need to reprioritise Australian creativity as a fun-damental asset of this country.”

Mr Collins believ es c rowd-funding is crucial to get those numbers up quickly.

“We need a minimum of 500 members to be able to register federally for the next general election. We have to find those people in the next 50 days.”

He said the future of Australia depends on the quality of its ideas more than the size of its mines.

“For too lon g, I ha ve felt a real lack of recognition and respect for the value Australian c reativity brings to our grea t country,” he said.

“Motoring enthusiasts and miners now holding the balance of power in our sen-ate – enough is enough.”

In a serious lack of fashion inspira tion this w eek, I began trawling through all a venues to find somethin g that I coul d slip into and smile.

I dug up ol d fashion magazines, f licked through books la y-ing around and people- watched until I coul dn’t stand to see another midriff or ill-fitting pair of shorts.

Fed up and feelin g just as uninspired as when I began, I hopped on to the net ( the one thin g which I had hoped to avoid) and typed “fashion” into the search bar.

A whole new world revealed itself to me at that moment; the world of fashion blogging.

I have never been a stranger to the Internet, in fact I am con-stantly using it for work, to catch up with friends and to keep up w ith the happenin gs of the w orld but I ha ve never ven-tured into the world of blogs.

I know too many people (my mum and my sister are the first that come to mind) who are addicted to blogs of all kinds so I have purposely kept my distance... Until now.

In a fit of despair, I clicked a link, follo wed by another link, and another, until before I knew it three hours had passed and I was feeling like I could conquer the world.

I ma y ha ve look ed through hundreds of blogs, I honestly couldn’t tell you but what I can say is that there is something special about looking at pictures and reading the thoughts of a seemingly ordinary person, like yourself, and feeling inspired.

Of the many that I searched through, my favourites were the ones with lots of pictures, a little bit of humour, links to where you could find similar or the same i tems featured in the post and the odd deviation from generic fashion ‘news’.

Blogs are a great way to pass your time too as you can read them on your smart phone and are a great alternative to your usual fashion magazine apps.

I won’t tell you my favourite blogs and I w on’t point you in a particular direction only bec ause I think the beauty of the blog-world is discovering it for yourself.

There is a whole world of amateur and professional fashion bloggers out there to explore. Happy trawling!

New Moon In Scorpio Trines Ju-piter; Nov 3rd - Nov

17th

Your blatant ambitions and talen ts are bein g drawn out b y the planets, so stop being overly pessimistic and cautious and be

prepared to live a li ttle. You know what you really wan t in life so g o for it. Colleagues, clients, and bosses are going to be impressed by you when they discover just how insightful you can be at times.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

Up un til No vember 17th is an e xtremely fa vourable c ycle for overseas travel, contact with people from abroad, importing, ex-

porting and expanding your business interests further afield. This is an excellent time to improve your education and if you’re a student, then you will most definitely impress your teachers.

PISCES FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

If you’re waiting for a loan to be appro ved then lady luck is on your side. Up un til November 9th is an e xcellent time to pool

your resources and talents with a group of other people for either work, investment or business reasons. The benefic ial problem solv ing influ-ence of Jupiter will help to bring success to any problematic situations you may encounter.

ARIES MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

This is the ideal time to sort out rela tionship difficulties as cer-tain misunderstandings can now be resolved, as the New M oon

moves into your partnership house. From now on lines of communica-tions that have been blocked or distorted will open up. You will be able to think more decisively and express your feelings more openly.

TAURUS APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

This is an excellent time to get your hands on any kind of equip-ment that will make you more efficient at your job or something

that makes housework and the garden easier to manage. This is the ide-al time to take something to bits to find out why it is not working prop-erly. You may even decide to take yourself or a loved one to a doctor.

GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

Romance is in the air and y ou will attract some welcome atten-tion. You’re in party mode and w ill gain a grea t deal of pleas-

ure through entertainment, music, art, dancing, theatre or your favour-ite TV soapies. There may be the news of either a birth or a pregnanc y, even if you only have a fur family it also will be expanding!

CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22

The home and family become y our main interest over the next two weeks as The New Moon trines Jupiter in the domestic area

of your chart. Family feuds will be resolved and you’ll find an increas-ing contentment in your own surroundings. Definite changes are ahead with your family and you’ll benefit from moving home or renovations.

LEO JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23

This is the start of a rather busy time in which you will be dealing with correspondence, getting on the phone, sending emails and

rushing around y our loc al neighbourhood a t top speed. F or the ne xt two weeks your days will be filled with activity and you will be buzzing from one job to another like a demented bee.

VIRGO AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23

The entry of the New M oon into your financial sector is bound to be good news for your bank balance, and the next two weeks

will see a rapid increase in your wealth. It is the perfect time to put your accounts into order and to sort out your record keeping. It’s time to lay plans to ensure maximum profi t out of your investments; sensible de-cisions made now will pay off in a big way later on.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

This is a landmark period of time, as the New M oon and J upi-ter both influence your sign in a positive way. You’ll delightfully

discover the return of your old energy and optimism. Therefore, if you need to sort out your finances, put your love life in order or deal with pressing family issues this is the time to do it.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

Your party da ys are o ver and you’re going to wan t some peace and quiet. To achieve this however it may be necessar y to take

the phone off the hook and put a ‘do not disturb’ sign on your door. At work you need to learn to delegate and not to make a rod for your own back by trying to accomplish everything all at once.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

You are in a wonderful position to make some new friends at the moment. Your fear of rejection can make you a little bit cautious

but at the moment you need to be very open minded. Other people see you as rather serious and sometimes a little bit scary, so make sure you smile and look people in the eye.

This week local busine ss owner Jeff Phillips has wr itten in a column for us for a new point of view.

I’m an avid reader of this column and I couldn’t agree more with David’s advice! Physical activity needs to be enjo yable. The fitness industry sometimes has a tendenc y to over com-plicate things! Is it really necessary to balance one legged on a bosu ball swinging a kettlebell, whilst wearing a power breath-ing mask to complete y our workout of the day whilst posting it all on facebook?

No! How about finding an open area with some mates and go kick a ball? If you look at the stress relief and social side affects you could well say that would be even better for you.

Dave recently mentioned martial arts as an option and again I couldn’t agree more. I ha ve spent the past 30+ y ears doing just that.

Like anything in life, people need to be educated to make in-formed choices about what they are doing. Martial arts can be split into three broad categories, self defence, sport and art. All three are very different.

Real self defence is all about managin g v iolent conf ronta-tions. No r ules, straigh t to the poin t, replic ating real w orld violence, ev en incorpora ting psychology. These martial arts include Krav Maga, Combatives and Senshido.

Art is all the traditional, cultural and spiritual ancient move-ments such as Ka tas, controlling force, breakin g boards etc. Think Kung Fu, Karate and Tai Chi.

Sport is a ph ysical contest with distinct rules. Examples in-clude MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ, Tae Kwon Do, Boxing and Judo.

You need to decide what your objec tive is and choose ac-cordingly. For e xample aikido teaches y ou an art and tradi-tions but little in terms of pure self defence and sport, despite what you see in the Steven Seagal movies!

All of them will develop your fitness in some capacity, some more than others. Some have a few skills that may apply to all categories but be specific to what you most want to improve.

There has been quite a buzz about the Catalyst sho w on the ABC last w eek. The sho w put for ward the ar gument that if y ou ha ve been takin g medic a-tion to lower cholesterol then you may be doing a whole lot more harm than good. I t’s c alled ‘heart of the ma tter’ and can still be watched on iview.

If the stor y is correc t i t is basic ally saying tha t man y medic al profession-als have been presc ribing Statin medi-cation under the incorrect assumption that cholesterol is bad for you.

But ev en more disturbin gly i t also suggests that this incorrect assumption

is actually being perpetuated, even promoted b y companies that are making billions of dollars from the mistake!

Understandably i t has people talkin g and upset – to think that there are dec isions bein g made in a boar droom some-where that has profit being chosen over people’s lives is very unsettling on many levels. Companies with that sort of money actually influence medical fact. Universities teach from stud-ies that are conducted by these same companies. Man y insti-tutions also receive massive funding and support from them.

So the show raises questions on ho w naive are we being, in assuming that what our doctors are learning and considering as best practice is completely independent from pharmaceuti-cal company influence.

As I ha ve said before, y our health alwa ys comes do wn to you. You are responsible for it. Even the smartest health pro -fessional in the w orld is still just human. L earn to tr ust your body and what it is trying to tell you. Use professional opinion for advice and guidance but g et intensely involved with your health yourself. Learn all you can and then apply what works for you. Socrates said i t thousands of y ears ago and i t is still spot on: “If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool”.

Ceberano rediscovers her place with the band

After a dec ade w ithout an original release, Ka te C e-berano has found her c rea-tive spirit again and is ready to rock the charts.

The Australian singer recently released her latest album ‘Kensal Road’, the first in

10 years from Ceberano that features origi-nal music.

She w ill be accompan ying the recor d release w ith a na tionwide tour , ‘K ensal Road Live’, playing at the York Theatre at the Seymour Centre in S ydney on F riday, November 2.

So far reactions from fans to the new ma-terial has been o verwhelmingly posi tive, and Ceberano has enjo yed g etting back into live performance.

“It’s been a wesome, I’ ve had a v ery strong response to everything – tour ’s looking grea t, I’ ve been ha ving qui te a love affair again w ith getting back in w ith the band, I’m going to play drums with the band... I alwa ys feel v ery con tent when I’m at an instrument,” she said.

Most A ustralians migh t remember Ce-berano as bein g a soulful pop star , but the singer charts different territory on her album, w ith son gs inspired b y Ha waiian folk music.

“My father’s f rom Hawaii, in fact when he c ame here in the 60 ’s I think the tw o things he tra velled w ith, which is such a

SHANNON COCHRANE

With her distinc tive ap-pearance and iconic country anthems, Dol-ly Parton has enjo yed more than 50 y ears in

the spotlight and has no plans on slo wing down soon.

The belo ved Americ an sin ger w ill be bringing her ‘Blue Smok e World Tour’ to Australia ne xt y ear, w ith a sho w a t the Sydney En tertainment Cen tre on F ebru-ary 18.

Parton, who has prev iously performed in Australia to overwhelmingly positive reviews, said she was excited to be visit-ing again.

“Australia, here I come again. W e have a lot of new and exciting things for the show and can’t wait to share i t with you. I lo ve my fans in that part of the world,” she said.

“You’ve been so v ery good to me for so many years and I kno w that we’re gonna have a w onderful time. I t’s a lon g wa y from home in your part of the world, but I always feel like I’m right at home.”

The last time Parton toured Australia was two years ago, with ‘The Better Day World Tour’ when she made recor d-breaking at-tendances in arenas in Australia.

She was praised b y 2Da y FM S ydney, who said “D olly had the audience ea ting out of her hands… one of the best live shows I’ve been to in my life”.

Although Parton migh t be a mega-fa-mous musical legend now, she began her life in poverty, living with her family in a one-room cabin in Tennessee.

She began performin g early on in life, singing for local radio and television be-fore she hit her teens and moved to coun-

try music c apital Nash ville. Since then, Parton has had many smash hits including ‘Jolene’, ‘I W ill Always Love You’, ‘9 to 5 ’ and ‘My Tennessee Mountain Home’.

Dolly Parton w ill bring the ‘Blue Smok e World Tour’ to the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, February 18, 2014.

trademark for me about the kind of people we are, he brought over a uke-lele and a surfboard,” she said.

“I was raised on a diet of music tha t was r eally c reated i n a nd a round a family si tuation where there ’s food and con vivialities and f riends and I

think because of that my brother and I have always made music that delivers that same feeling to people.”

Ceberano’s lon g hia tus f rom son g-writing was partially due to her feel-ing that the ac tivity’s “very personal, very isolated” nature needed to take a

backseat to her role as a mother.As h er da ughter G ypsy b egan t o g row

older though, Ceberano was approached by Sony and agreed to return to the studio in a frenzy of activity that would produce ‘Kensal Road’.

“Sony came along and they said to me, ‘it’s about time w e get you out there w ith another originals [album] so y ou want to start working on it?’” Ceberano said.

“Then I think one thin g led to another, I started writing with some wri ters around Melbourne, w e must ha ve wri tten about 80 songs or so, just to get back into the ac-tion, the wri ting again. Then I w ent over to London and did i t all pretty much in a month or so.”

Getting back in to the rh ythm of wri ting and producing songs was never a difficult task to Ceberano , although she admi ts that the content of her lyric s has changed dramatically thanks to her family.

“I don’t find songwriting hard, I actually think it’s like breathing, or sw imming, or riding a bike. There’s always things to talk about,” Ceberano said.

“Before Gypsy was born, in the early part of my career, I think a lot of the wri ting is very subjective, it’s all about me, I, myself. But I think when y ou become a paren t, suddenly it becomes about us, we, them.”

Kate Cebe rano will be pe rforming at the York Theatre at the Seymour Centre in S ydney on No vember 2. F or mor e in-formation visit he r website www.katece-berano.com.

CHATTERON THE BOX

The Amazing Race Australia will return in

2014 after its return was an-nounced at Channel Seven’s Upfronts last week. The Emmy Award-winning reality series wasn’t seen on screens this year as Seven opted to give ‘The Mole’ a try, and well, we all know how that turned out. Casting informa-tion is available on the Chan-nel Seven website.

The Panel is back... sort of. Channel Ten

will premiere ‘Have You Been Paying Attention’ this Sunday, November 3 at 7pm. The format is a sees panel-lists competing to remember the most news events from across the week. ‘The Panel’s’ Tom Gleisner is set to host and there are many other similarities. Why don’t they just bring ‘The Panel’ back?

More local shows confirmed to return

to Channel Seven next year include: ‘My Kitchen Rules’, ‘House Rules’, ‘The X Factor’, ‘Dancing with the Stars’, ‘A Place to Call Home’, ‘Win-ners and Losers’, ‘Home and Away’, ‘Million Dollar Min-ute’ and ‘Deal or No Deal’.

Channel Nine’s huge new post-apocalyptic

drama ‘Revolution’ has finally been given an airdate. The J.J Abrams produced show will hit our screens this Tuesday, November 5 at 8.30pm. The first season has already aired on Foxtel so we will see how it goes here.

Channel Seven is set to air ‘Dancing with

the Stars’ twice a week. The monster hit is cutting it very fine with the number of contestants and the number of weeks left before ratings season is up at the end of No-vember. ‘Dancing’ will now been seen on both Sunday and Tuesday nights.

Another popular TV show remake could

be on the cards with news the supernatural series ‘Charmed’ could be revived. It’s still in the very early stag-es of development but CBS has ordered a script for the pilot. The new ‘Charmed’ is considered a “re-imagining” of the once mega hit series.

He said UF C is the fastest gro wing sport in the world with crowd numbers that are gaining momentum here in Australia.
