Posted July 26, 200618 yr Wheatley counts the cents Lawrence Money and Bridie Smith July 27, 2006 "MOST of us spend more time at work than at home," quoth showbiz middleman Glenn Wheatley in a book launched last month. Now it seems he's combining both, moving out of his expensive riverside offices in Abbotsford and, according to pals, planning to work from home. Workaholic Wheatley ("I have no hobbies, my work is my hobby") is tightening the purse strings after losing big-bucks star Delta Goodrem as a client in 2004. Goodrem sacked Wheatley after claiming he spent too much time with his buddy, John Farnham. But now, with Farnham's gigs few and far between, and client Kostya "Twinkletoes" Tszyu, not setting the world on fire, the Wheat man seems to be pinning his hopes on young Stephanie McIntosh, Jason Donovan's half-sister and another from the Neighbours instant-singer factory. Her launch in an eight-part "reality show" kicks off on Ten tomorrow. The Wheatley home in South Yarra, where he is reportedly setting up shop, was previously inhabited by former lord mayor Irv Rockman, who, in contrast, has enjoyed soaring fortunes recently via the seek.com.au internet company. Insiders say Wheatley, who, as usual, did not return Diary's calls, is also talking to showbiz guru Michael Gudinski, hoping to put on some revenue-earning shows. Wheatley bobbed up last month in a book by Melbourne clergyman Francis Macnab, Don't Call Me Grumpy, lamenting: "Nothing has come to me easily. I have had to work for my successes. I'm not a wealthy man in the money sense." All donations gratefully accepted. Source: Theage.com

July 31, 200618 yr Author hmm no way! Its only an 8 series show! I think its good for publicity!!! I know, but it looks really desperate for it to be a hit and they should be careful if the next single under performs...
