Are all Melbourne Bureacrats This Silly?

2010-02-02T14:15:00.005+11:00

The Sydney Morning Herald reports:

A Victorian Government department raised questions about the suitability of a Channel Nine personality fronting a program spruiking regional Victoria because she had posed for a men's magazine.

Government authority Regional Development Victoria raised the concerns after a bureaucrat discovered television host Nikki Osborne had featured in Ralph magazine.

Let's see. Nikki was (very sensibly) selected for the campaign in May 2009. This site reported on it at the time.

About nine months later, an un-named bureaucrat has "discovered" Nikki's modelling history.

Nine months!

I wonder how long it will take them to discover that our Prime Minister hung around a strip joint once.

Geez, have these people not heard of Google? It would have shown them everything. A Google search for "Nikki Osborne" isn't exactly rocket surgery.

Your tax dollars at work. Wait until they discover that Kevin Rudd hangs around strip joints! Why, that's the sort of scandal which could stop you becoming Prime Minister one day.

Oh, wait...

Personally, we believe Provincial Victoria couldn't have chosen a better face. Well perhaps except for that chick in the McCain's Pizza Ad.

P.S. Memo to Ralph: Given that Nikki currently appears at the top of your top-five babe galleries, the least you could do is spell her name correctly!

Nikki is back on our screens, finally, promoting Provincial Victoria.

Thanks to Phantasmal, as always, for the clip.

Would you Like to see Nikki in a Cage?

2008-11-24T20:39:00.003+11:00

Nikki is auditioning - on air, for a new spot on Brisbane Triple-M's morning program, The Cage.

Check out The Cage's Website.

Congratulations Nikki

2008-04-23T08:47:00.001+10:00

Congratulations to Nikki, Jeremy and their families on the birth of a son.

In Nikki's own words, via Myspace:

Sorry I've been so slack lately. My secret project has just begun. His name is Will Henry Starr and he was born on Sunday, April 6 at 3:48pm weighing in at 8lb 11ounces. As for the tele front, that will get going again once I've got the hang of this current gig.

No need to apologise! See you soon.

A Starr Osborne

2007-11-10T10:41:00.000+11:00

Yes, yes, we know it's been a bit slow around here. With good reason!

Huge congratulations to Nikki and her new husband Jeremy on their marriage. They have just returned from Honeymoon.

Post your best wishes to all of the families in comments.

P.S: The headline of this post is terribly clever, don't you think?

Holding Breath

2007-08-23T22:14:00.001+10:00

While we all wait, here's something to keep you amused.

Nice Legs, Shame about the Face...

2007-08-06T10:15:00.000+10:00

Unfortunately, on the previous episode of The Nation, Nikki's appearance was confined to a brief shot (from behind only) of her passing Mick some flowers. We didn't even see Nikki's face! It could have been a stunt double.

To prevent withdrawal symptoms, enjoy this blast from the past, some epic Quizmania silliness which will be featuring on Channel Nine highlights tapes for many years to come.

Thanks to Drew for the memories.

Viva la Nation

2007-07-27T23:20:00.000+10:00

Merci, Phantasmal.

Comic Timing

2007-07-11T11:35:00.000+10:00

If you were wondering what happened last night, no, The Nation weren't doing a parody of Muriel's Wedding, that really was Muriel's Wedding.

The Nation has moved to Wednesday nights at 10:30pm.

Thanks to Phantasmal for the vid.

Also appearing last night were Andrew Denton and Crowded House. Not too shabby! Lucky buggers probably even got to meet Nikki as well.

Via comments, the reviews are in! We wait with interest to see where the show goes.

Goodbye and Hello

2007-05-11T00:05:00.000+10:00

Nikki has made her final appearance on Quizmania.

Before you rush off the nearest tall building, relax. Nikki will be back soon and we can't wait. Posting will be a little quiet until then, obviously.

Finally, Mishy has made a breathtaking tribute video:

Oh No You Didn't...

From the shameless link-whoring department, some idiot has established the following poll at an unrelated site.

Is Nikki Osborne as Dumb as she sounds?

Vote at www.opinion.com.au!

You know what you have to do.

Fanclub Ho-oooooooooo.....

Update: The No's have it.

A guy called Tim Blair who has a hilarious blog, asks whether Kevin Rudd could host Quizmania. His readers are already pondering the question.

It would be an interesting job-swap considering some have previously declared that Nikki Osborne should be Prime Minister.

So, the Nikki 2010 election campaign gathers steam... Nikki 2010 even sounds like a promising TV show!

The Nikki for PM campaign managers, Kizza and Mishy received a special hello on-air.

Via comments, describe Australia under Prime Minister Nikki Osborne...

Campaign posters also welcome. Speaking of which, thanks to whomever uploaded "Officer Osborne" to the Gallery, it's a cack!

Update: Evangelion: 'Parliament Question Time' becomes the top rating Australian TV show...

Guess who's Engaged?

2007-04-09T19:59:00.000+10:00

Although the Melbourne Herald Sun is reporting the 'scoop' that Nikki Osborne is engaged, regular readers will know we were all playing 'spot the ring' many months ago. However, out of respect, it was all very hush hush, until now.

Congratulations Nikki and Jeremy!!!

Leave your best wishes in comments...

The article also reports Nikki has appeared in a pilot episode of Mick Molloy's new TV program, The Nation. Very exciting news indeed...

Doo doo doo doo.... Vid Video...

2007-04-09T17:07:00.000+10:00

Phantasmal. Watching Quizmania, so you don't need to.

Something for the Grandkids

Nikki was on A Current Affair earlier in the week.
Phantasmal, as always, had his finger on the button...
