Symonds to have fun with Sunny Leone

Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds entered the Bigg Boss 5 House on Wednesday.

This is the first time that an international cricketer is participating in the reality show.

Before entering the House, Andrew said, “I decided to take up Bigg Boss as a challenge. India has been good to me and I have been travelling to India for over 20 years."

On porn star Sunny Leone being a part of the House, Andrew said, “I’m not offended by her profession, as she is doing it for a living. I will get to know her in the house. We will have fun.”

After being thrown out of Bigg Boss 5 for her aggressive behaviour, VJ Pooja Missra is now set to re-enter the reality show albeit as a translator for Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds, who stepped into the house in Karjat Wednesday.

Pooja became a talked about contestant during her stay on the show, as she was extremely argumentative and her reactions were unpredictable.

She picked up fights with almost everyone and retaliated violently towards co-participant Siddharth Bhardwaj due to which she was asked to leave the house.

Australian blunder over wrong Next Top Model

SYDNEY: The showpiece finale of a popular Australian reality modelling show ended in a toe-curling blunder when the wrong winner was announced on live television.

Australia's Next Top Model's two finalists had already made their winner's and loser's speeches when presenter Sarah Murdoch, daughter-in-law of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, revealed the mix-up.

"Oh my God, I don't know what to say right now. I'm feeling a bit sick about this," Murdoch said during Tuesday's broadcast. "This is what happens on live TV, folks. This is insane, insane, insane."

A bewildered Amanda Ware, 18, finally accepted the award and made a brief victory sashay down the catwalk, as 19-year-old Kelsey Martinovich took the bizarre defeat gracefully.

"It's an honest mistake, it's fine," she said, consoling the red-faced Murdoch.

Broadcaster Foxtel blamed the error on a "miscommunication" between backstage operators, and offered Martinovich a cash gift and a trip to New York as compensation.

Local media rated the error as one of the most embarrassing moments on Australian TV. "And the next top model is... no, wait a second," headlined the Daily Telegraph.

Judge Alex Perry later denied the incident was a publicity stunt to boost the show's ratings.

"I would stake my life on it," he told Sydney's 2DayFM radio.

"There's no way that she (Murdoch) would do that. I think you saw that the instant that she knew something was wrong, you could see it in her eyes, that wasn't lying, that wasn't acting."
