High time for celebrity spotting
By Emma Quayle
The network also missed out on an excellent promotional opportunity
on Wednesday. Having cut to shots of Lleyton Hewitt's Seven-endorsed
wife, Bec Cartwright, during his matches, they didn't really point
out the presence in the crowd of American actor Michael Vartan, who
stars in one of Seven's shows, Alias.
Vartan, who certainly makes for better male celebrity eye candy than
famous tennis fan Cliff Richard, is expected to be back over the
weekend, although he won't be watching Maria Sharapova, who towered
over him on the red carpet at the ESPY awards in Hollywood last year
(below). In an early glimpse of how the Seven-Ten might operate after
clinching the AFL rights, we saw Ten's Australian Idol winner, Kate
DeAraugo, brought on yesterday afternoon to sing the national anthem
on centre court.
