Carly Flynn announced she was pregnant today on Sunrise.  Wonder who will take her place while she's on leave?  (And, the bigger question, will there be a job for her when she wants to come back?)

The gossip columnists have long been hinting at someone in the media being in a lesbian relationship and today the papers came out with the name: Ali Mau.

Poor old Simon Dallow, ditched by his wife who is now with another woman.

They'll be talking about this one for a while.

When was the last time there was a high profile beautiful outed lesbian in New Zealand?  Can't think of one, can you??

Damian Christie blogs:

"The story I've heard from various people at TV3 is that last week the network's new boss, Ian Audsley, rocked into the Campbell Live office and told its executive producer to lift ratings or the show is gone. Four months was a deadline I've heard.

Meanwhile, staff at TV3's summer show @7, which managed okay ratings during the hiatus, are quietly hoping they will be back on air in four months time, when Campbell Live gets the axe. I don't see it happening; it'd probably be far easier and cheaper to put on re-runs of the Simpsons, which performed perfectly well before Campbell Live came along. But you never know, Australian bosses can make interesting choices."

Watching Big Fish on TV One. It's a great movie, but it's really surprising to see it on that channel. @wchettleburgh

I hate how people are confusing 7 DAYS (late nite tv3 comic genius) with @7 (moronic crap, same channel). Why did they name them similarly? @monty64

Wondering why TV3 insists on hiding/playing Eureka at 1pm on a Saturday @finnatic

How come Gerald Tippett is styling the weather guy on tv3? @piratesaregrand

TV3 FTW with the doco on the chocolate guy. I like seeing people with passion on tv @shotbyrobins

On New Year's Eve coverage:

OK, so C4 does a 30 second countdown, and then THE FIRST THING ON TV FOR 2010? A late night ad for makeup! "call now and..." lol laaaaame! @jaywontdart

Best quote of the year to date... "Does he [Jason Gunn] know where somebody at TVNZ buried a body or something???" @ctrl_zed

TVNZ started the countdown too early @amie_2643

Hayley Westenra explaining Emissions Trading Scheme through song... classic. Good on you One and TVNZ @OuterLegsRace

TVNZ rick rolled me. IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE!?? @drdanick

Sarah will have a one night stand with Max and get pregnant to him but not realise.  Meanwhile, she will get back together with TK - who doesn't know about her and Max getting together that one time.

When TK and Sarah discover she's pregant (most likely ages down the track if she's not thinking she's going to be pregnant - and maybe even too late for a termination - hey it's possible, and she may attribute her tiredness to MS), he will naturally think the baby is his.

Sarah will realise the baby is Max's and isn't sure whether to tell him or not, given his past experience and huge issues with his estranged ex and "daughter".  Sarah will be torn between telling Max the baby is his and breaking TK's heart that the baby isn't his.  Her secret will be a big part of 2010's storylines.
