I'm shy really, says Imogen Bailey

CJ — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 06:39:00 +0000

SHE'S diplomatic about it, but Imogen Bailey won't deny there were cat fights between her and witch Fiona Horne on remote Vanuatu this year.

The two locked horns on Celebrity Survivor, and it's fair to say they didn't the leave the island as friends.
"Let me say I have a lot of respect for Fiona and if we met on the outside we probably would get along," Bailey said in Melbourne yesterday.

"But we did clash, and she is a very strong personality.

"I'm quite a shy person. When you see the magazine covers, that's not the real Imogen, so I found the confrontation hard.

"It wasn't made any easier when you have a group of strong personalities and there is no food."

While Horne has slammed host Ian "Dicko" Dickson, saying his behaviour was "unnecessarily derogatory and sexist", Bailey was all positive.

"Dicko has a huge heart and is an extremely caring person. I think he did an amazing job," she said.

Dicko's Survivor Controversy!

CJ — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 21:47:00 +0000

FORMER Idol meanie Dicko has been slammed for being "derogatory" and "sexist" by a contestant on his latest reality show, Celebrity Survivor.

Dicko has come under fire from contestant Fiona Horne for being sexist in his hosting gig on new Channel 7 ploy for ratings, Celebrity Survivor.

White witch Horne, one of the D-list celebrities sent to Vanuatu last month to take part in the series, said Dicko's insulting comments on the set were out of line.

"I found a lot of his behaviour to be unnecessarily derogatory and sexist,'' Horne said.

"He said deliberately provocative things. He basically said the girls can't look after themselves and needed a man to rescue them.''

Horne said she was disgusted by Dickson's cheap shots at the female contestants.

"He was doing himself a discredit. I don't know why he does it because he is smarter and funnier than that,'' she said.

"I don't think that (making sexist and derogatory comments) is humourous. It is boring. I clashed with him.''

But while Dicko copped it from Hornebags, he received plenty of support yesterday from another Celebrity Survivor contestant, Imogen Bailey.

"Dicko has a huge heart and is an extremely caring person,'' Bailey said.

"I think he did an amazing job.''

Gabby shoots for Celebrity Survivor

CJ — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 09:21:00 +0000

THEY don't call her the Pleasure Machine for nothing.

Wearing a low-cut dress and puckering up for a pout, Gabrielle Richens turned up the heat on an otherwise chilly Curl Curl beach during a shoot for Celebrity Survivior yesterday.

But while the series small screen debut in two weeks time may be hotly anticipated by reality TV lovers, the Pleasure Machine is awaiting something far more, um, pleasurable than battling the elements on an island in Vanuatu.

Richens _ who famously lured Canterbury forward Solomon Haumono away from his $200,000-a-year contract to London _ has cast her spell on Hollywood star Shemar Moore.

The 36-year-old star of the US hit series Criminal Minds will travel to Sydney to be re-united with his beached babe in two weeks time, with his trip coinciding with the launch of Celebrity Survivor.

Network chiefs prepare to unveil their new babies
Author: eNews staff and agencies
May 31, 2006, 13:41

No it's Seven, not Nine: seems the Packer -owned Network missed that one. Seven says the concept has been around for two years. It does though sound like that U.K. TV horror "I'm A Celebrity, Get me Out of Here".

Production started this week in Vanuatu on the series: what a way to spend the next three months of the Sydney-Melbourne Winter!

It will be hosted by Ian “Dicko” Dickson (a real gig, non-dancing for him, at last),Seven says Celebrity Survivor will pitch a group of Australian identities from the world of sport, television, film and politics against each other as they step out of their comfort zone – no tents, no sleeping bags, no tools and no food – and battle the elements.

It sounds a bit like the after party at The Logies!

Filming starts on Aussie 'Celebrity Survivor'
Neil Wilkes
Wednesday, May 31 2006

A celebrity version of Survivor has begun filming in Vanuatu for Australia's Seven Network.

The format of the series is expected to be similar to the original, but with well-known Aussie faces in place of unknowns.

Hosting is Ian 'Dicko' Dickson (My Restaurant Rules, Australian Idol), while celeb contestants include Gabrielle “The Pleasure Machine” Richens, former ironman Guy Leech, politician David Oldfield and model Imogen Bailey.

"With Celebrity Survivor, we've been able to convince some pretty surprising candidates into doing this show," said Tim Worner, Seven’s director of programming and production. "The celebrities are barred from communicating with anyone off the island while they are there but Dicko has been in touch to let us know he's been giving them a few surprises of his own."

Survivor was previously adapted for the Aussie market but was axed after one season due to bad ratings. Vanuatu has previously been used as a location for the original US series.

Celebrity Survivor Vanuatu
By Seven Network Australia
Posted Monday, May 29, 2006

Following the success of It Takes Two, Channel Seven today announced filming has begun this week in Vanuatu for the new series Celebrity Survivor.
Hosted by Ian “Dicko” Dickson, Celebrity Survivor will pitch a group of Australian identities from the world of sport, television, film and politics against each other as they step out of their comfort zone – no tents, no sleeping bags, no tools and no food – and battle the elements.

Daily Telegraph - Dicko to host Celebrity Survivor

CJ — Tue, 30 May 2006 09:59:00 +0000

THE last time Australia saw Ian "Dicko'' Dickson on the small screen he was sashaying across a dance floor in frills and tight pants.

Television's resident larrikin's latest venture is to host the Seven Network's new reality program Celebrity Survivor.

On the back of the recently launched variety show It Takes Two and the top-rating Dancing With the Stars, Seven has pulled more celebrities out of the bag.

Personalities including Gabrielle ``The Pleasure Machine'' Richens, former ironman Guy Leech, NSW politician David Oldfield and model Imogen Bailey were shipped off to Vanuatu late last week to battle the elements.

Stepping out of their comfort zones and into the wildness, each star will work against the other with no tents, sleeping bags, tools or food in a battle for the best star survivor.

Seven hopes the program will be a ratings winner and will announce more contestants soon.

``With Celebrity Survivor, we've been able to convince some pretty surprising candidates into doing this show,'' said Tim Worner, Seven's director of programming and production.

``The celebrities are barred from communicating with anyone outside the island while they are there but Dicko has been in touch to let us know he's been giving them a few surprises of his own.''

With just the clothes on their backs and one favourite item, the stars will be voted off one by one with only one winner.

It is believed the winning celebrity will spend a total of three weeks on the island.

``These celebrities are used to red carpets and star treatment - they have no idea how tough this shoot is going to be,'' said David Mason, Celebrity Survivor's series producer.

``They are in for the shock of their lives.''

While Nine has the rights to screen the US version of Survivor, Seven have the rights to a local version.

Celebrity Survivor joins Seven's mid-year programs that includes new Aussie series The Real Seachange and True Blue and the returning local series True Stories, hosted by Anna Coren.

American smash hits Greys Anatomy and 24 return next month.

The Advertiser - Will we survive this epic?

31 may 06

YOU would think that Extreme Makeover was the utter bottom of the barrel when it came to reality TV. Never underestimate the power of network execs, however, and prepare yourself for the kitsch to come.

Channel 7 yesterday announced Celebrity Survivor . Yes, Channel 7 - not Channel 9 - will screen the program, thanks to a legal loophole in the contract with the creators of the original Survivor .

Just like Channel 10's Skating With Celebrities , the star status of this batch of castaways is somewhat questionable. Gabrielle "The Pleasure Machine" Richen's, former ironman Guy Leech, politician David Oldfield and model Imogen Bailey have been announced so far, with a promise of more to come.

Imogen on Celebrity Survivor!

CJ — Wed, 31 May 2006 01:48:00 +0000

Well, there's been some news stirring and we can finally tell you all about it! Well ... the Daily Telegraph, Sydney Morning Herald and News.com.au will give you a brief introduction, & we'll share the publicity pics as soon as they arrive!

Imogen & MySpace

CJ — Wed, 17 May 2006 03:36:00 +0000

Hi everyone,

Well we've been getting so many emails asking about Imogen's MySpace website that we thought we should address it here once and for all.

No ... it isn't really Imogen. Neither Imogen or myself has setup this MySpace account, nor did we give permission or endorse any of the material published on the site. The person who is running this account on MySpace is pretending to be Imogen by posting photos, comments and information that is mostly just made up or taken from other interviews.

To set some of the misinformation right, here's what was said at MySpace, and what's REALLY true - from the one and only Imogen Bailey ...

Sports ...

MYSPACE: volleyball, tennis, soccer hanging out with friends

TRUTH: Imogen doesn't play volleyball, tennis or soccer although she is very active and athletic. She prefers pilate's to keep her

Things I Love ...

MYSPACE: the small things, people remembering to call me when they say they will,honesty, loyalty, sense of humor, having fun, my little puppy lucky!

TRUTH: Neither of Imogen's dogs (she has 2) are called lucky.

Things I Hate ...

MYSPACE: liars, cheaters, and wierdos!! haha

TRUTH: Do you know anyone who likes liars, cheaters and wierdos?!?!? haha. DUH!

What I do in My Spare Time:

MYSPACE: Go to the beach, hang out with friends, go shopping, play tennis/vball, try and stay in shape! lol, and just have fun! modelling takes up most of my time! theres a lot of travelling invloved so its rare that i end up home for a long period of time..sometimes i get homesick..but this is the life i chose!

TRUTH: While Imogen does travel a lot, she does make a point of spending as much time as possible at her Sydney home with her dogs and her family close by. As for the beach, hanging out with friends, shopping and staying in shape ... doesn't that summarize 50% of Australian women?!

So, how do you know if you are reading genuine information about Imogen? Imogen's only official website is this one - http://www.imogenbailey.com with the domain http://www.imogen-bailey.com going to the same site. If you are in doubt about the authenticity of an Imogen photo, quote, website or autographed merchandise simply drop us a line or post a comment here on the blog & we'll verify it for you.

What's the big deal you ask?
Well if it was a fan of Imogen setting up a site like this Imogen would be honored and flattered, but this person is claiming to be Imogen and therefore making statements and comments which are incorrectly attributed to Imogen by her fans, the media and the general public.

What can you do to help?
If you have a MySpace account, visit the fake MySpace site here: http://www.myspace.com/imogenbailey and add as a friend. Post a comment letting Mr Fake know where to find the REAL Imogen Bailey!

Thanks for reading & stay tuned for more Imogen updates in a few weeks.

Regards
