1. Channel TEN has announced that they will be axing their morning show ‘Breakfast’ as well as the Ten Morning News, at the end of the month. In a statement, they said:
“It is proposed that Breakfast and Ten Morning News will cease production on November 30. Breakfast television still represents an opportunity for Ten and we will return to the breakfast TV market at some point next year.”
This from Mumbrella:
Breakfast launched in February this year. But it failed to dent the ratings of market leader Sunrise on Seven or its close rival Today on Nine. While Sunrise and Seven generally rate an average of above 300,000 viewers, Breakfast never even came close to 100,000.
The decision is a reversal of Ten’s position during last month’s 2013 preview when it said that it remained committed to Breakfast.
Many staff at the network have been given November 30 as their last day. A spokesperson has also confirmed that hosts Paul Henry and Kathryn Robinson will leave Ten altogether. Magdalena Roze remains with Ten.
And this, also via Mumbrella: some of the comedy moments from the show…
There was the time they turned the lights out on Paul Henry:
Henry’s less than admirable hardline solutions for asylum seekers:
2. Last week brought the news that 14-year-old Modern Family star Ariel Winter (who plays Alex Dunphy in the comedy series) was removed from her mother’s home overnight amid allegations of emotional and physical abuse.
According to US media, Ariel’s mother, Crystal Workman, has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Ariel at all times. Ariel has been placed under the temporary guardianship of her older sister Shanelle, who is now seeking permanent guardianship over her sibling.
But just like a good hair mousse, the plot thickens. Now Ariel’s mother has spoken to E! Online, firing back at the allegations.

Their should be more noise made about the sudden sacking of Helen Kapalos
I'm not feeling the love for Kate Moss's breasts that you seem to be MM. Is it just me or is that the smallest nipple you've ever seen??
And I agree with all the other cries of BRING BACK THE CIRCLE! Sans infomercials. Treat the viewers with a bit of respect (which infomercials do not) and they shall love you. Channel Ten, please take note!
Really? I've got nipple envy after looking at Kate Moss' pic. My nipples are the size of bloody wagon wheels. I'm sure they weren't that big before I fell pregnant.
Oh InKL, pregnancy and breastfeeding is a whole other ball game. Say goodbye to the boobs you once knew!
I'm almost three years on the other side. They haven't changed! I'm stuck with the wagon wheels.
Definitely nipple envy.
