Mia Freedman shares my sentiments about famous men getting a slap on the wrist for their indiscretions.
News emerged recently that Matthew Newton—he of the Brooke Satchwell incident and recent rehab stint—is set to host Channel 7’s The X Factor
Allegedly, “his audition was so good that he beat more established TV hosts including Sonia Kruger and Axle Whitehead.” So the guy may be talented, but should he really be hosting a family show?
Then again, the judging panel does include shock-jock Kyle Sandilands and cheater Ronan Keating (both of whom I legitimately like, FYI), along with the angelic and virginal Guy Sebastian. Three out of four ain’t bad, I guess… if you’re in to tuning into a “station [that] is chock a block full of bad boys on big pay packets who are being rewarded for their unsavoury indiscretions with higher profile jobs during the family hour,” as television commentator Andrew Mercado puts it.
Come on down, The Matty Johns Show.
