The big bluff

We're not great fans of celebrity weddings, or the celebrity culture itself. But we have to compliment Mike Hosking and Kate Hawkesby on their smarts. All week, the talk has been of a secret wedding on Waiheke Island this weekend, but now the Herald reports:

Newstalk ZB has confirmed the marriage of broadcasters Mike Hosking and Kate Hawkesby.

The couple wed in an intimate ceremony at Huka Lodge in Taupo on Wednesday.

A group of 30 to 40 friends and family celebrated with them.

The wedding will feature in Woman's Day, released in Auckland tomorrow and nationwide on Monday.


So good on them; they got the private wedding they wanted, and the photographers that have been hanging around on Waiheke Island will go home empty handed.

But be assured; we WON'T be buying the Woman's Day!

And how much did Women's day pay them for their "exclusive".

Vapid, beyond, vapid.

We live in a cultural wasteland

C'mon Andrei, it's private money after all. And I would have expected you to applaud them [finally] getting married. I do, anyway. And I'm sure John H will be relieved!
