Kyle & Jackie O: Media & people power de ja vu.

I feel like I’m having de ja vu this morning back to the Matthew Johns scandal.

If you haven’t heard, yesterday Austereo, owners of 2Day FM released a statement stating that the Kyle and Jackie O show had been taken off air. The statement read:

“Kyle Sandilands’ management has advised Austereo that he is unable to perform his duties on-air at this time. Following a great deal of consideration and having consulted Jackie O and all stakeholders, Austereo has formed the view that it is in the interest of all parties for The Kyle And Jackie O Show to go into recess until we have completed an across-the-networks review of the principals and protocols of our interaction with our audience.

“This review commenced last Wednesday, July 29, 2009.”

So, once again it would seem that ‘people power’ has won and the media hype surrounding last week’s scandal has done what it no doubt set out to do and the show has ‘gone into recess’.

The Kyle & Jackie O radio segement that went horribly wrong.

It’s not often I agree with, actually I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with Kyle Sandlilands or taken his side or sided with the ‘minority’ when the media are having a go at him, but yesterday that day came.

If you missed the story here’s some background. A mother bought her 14 year old daughter on the Kyle & Jackie O show to take a lie detector test because she was concerned about her taking drugs, partying and having sex.

From ninemsn: The teenager’s mother brought her onto the 2DayFM segment to be questioned about her drug use and whether she had been having sex after she ran away from home.

When asked if she had ever had sex, the girl said: “I’ve already told you the story about this … and don’t look at me and smile because it’s not funny.”

Cancer karma. This lady is crazy.

Just when you think that this woman can’t get any more deranged she starts shooting her mouth off again. The latest crazy Heather Mills installment goes something like this.

From www.smh.com.au:

Heather Mills thinks anyone who has written lies about her should get cancer.

The former glamour model – ex-wife of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney – believes in karma and is convinced people who have given her a hard time in the past will get their comeuppance by getting a life-threatening disease.

She said in an interview with Britain’s Food Monthly magazine: “The truth always outs in the end… no one gets away with those things. Certain journalists have written horrible things, and then they’ve got cancer, or they’ve had a tumour, or they’ve died. And it’s terrible for them, but they’ve done really evil things. I truly believe things come back around.”

The mother-of-one also hit out at claims she copied the late Princess Diana in campaigning against the use of landmines in war and insists she was fighting the cause long before Diana received worldwide attention.

She said: “Princess Diana helped for eight months, and because she was such a shining light and went to one minefield, suddenly everyone was into landmines, but then only because she died did we get the extra 100 people to sign.

“Which was terrible, but that was one of her huge legacies in life, plus many other things. But then everyone used to say, ‘Oh, Heather’s copying Diana!’ And everyone in the landmine industry just laughed, because they said, ‘Well, Heather’s been doing this for six years…’ “

I’m sorry, well actually no I’m not sorry, this woman is a nutbag! If anyone should be worried about karma it’s the crazy lady herself, not the journo’s! And so what if Princess Diana only ‘helped out’ for 8 months and Heather has been campaigning for 6 six years. My God, this woman should just be grateful that Princess Diana shone the spotlight on the cause in the first place.

Hmmm I wonder now if I need to worry about Heather Mills karma!!

What do you think? Crazy lady or misunderstood?
