Andy Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Hewitts' $1m deal Daily Telegraph 29 September, 2005 AP WOMAN'S Day magazine has paid an astronomical $1 million to "own" golden couple Bec and Lleyton Hewitt for one year. The Australian Consolidated Press title has scooped its higher-selling rival New Idea by securing the deal with the lucrative newlyweds just months before the birth of their first child. The publishing coup - which will see the gossip mag own the rights to every story about the couple and their baby over the next 12 months - is also a major win for newly hired ACP consultant Jenni Gilbert. Prior to her short stint as director of communications at Channel 9, Gilbert was editor in chief at New Idea. It was Gilbert who initiated New Idea's relationship with Hewitt and his then blushing bride-to-be, stitching up a reported $500,000 deal to bag the exclusive rights to their wedding extravaganza earlier this year. Despite her success, Gilbert was strangely shoved from New Idea in May, but sweet revenge has come in the form of nabbing Australia's No.1 tennis player and his wife for the desperately competitive Woman's Day. "Bec and Lleyton are not owned by anybody, and I know they sell very well," Gilbert told Confidential yesterday. "Woman's Day are a slick outfit, and they knew it was a good get to have. "As their consultant, I said it was a great idea and assisted with a couple of my contacts." Gilbert wouldn't confirm the reported $1 million fee the Hewitts will pocket from the deal, but let's hope there'll be a swag of kids in a Cambodian orphanage who'll benefit as a result.
kanes_girl Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Thanks for that valkyrie, being in the UK i had trouble getting the articles, except the Lleyton/Bec interview.
Lis xxx Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Well, everyone has their own opinions but i have to say i disagree with the way you're all making the situation sound. I really like Bec & Lleyton together, they seem genuine & in love. Yes, the relationship has moved VERY quickly, i don't think it's ever a good idea to get married and have given birth to his baby within 12 months of getting together, but it does happen. The fact that they have money obviously helps, most people save for a house/wedding/baby but i guess they don't have to. As for magazine side of it, i'm biased, i love to read about peoples lives so i'm pleased they have this new deal. I'm sure some money from it WILL go to the orphanage. If i was them, i'd do the same, if the magazines are willing to pay that amount of money then, of course, you go with the highest payer, it's not like you have to give out every detail of your lives in the interviews. A Newlyweds style show is much more invasive, cameras in your face every day not once every few months. They'll be so proud of their new baby that they'll want to show it off and the magazines wouldn't be bidding so high for them if people weren't buying the magazines. I'm from the UK but i got a copy online. Although they must have alot of money already, they have recently made some pretty huge purchases. They might not be popular in a few years and Lleyton might not be playing tennis anymore so building up the nest egg now isn't a bad thing. When you have kids you want to know that they'll be provided for forever. I know people on here are big fans of Beau and i loved it when they were together too but they're still only 22 and they would've changed alot since they first started going out. She didn't dump him for Lleyton did she? I think they had already broken up. Maybe it will last, maybe it won't. But i hope it does, they seem very happy and i know i'm jealous of that. Didn't mean to go on so long. Rant over.
kanes_girl Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 I think Bec was overexposed when she was still in H&A, i think thats part of the reason a lot of people went off her, i hope they do make a go of it as raising children is the hardest job in the world and you need that support.

She was always on the cover of tv weeks and did Dancing with the stars, so maybe it was a bit in-your-face for some people. Because we're from the UK though, we didn't really see any of that. You can read about it on the internet but your not faced with it unless you want to be. Unfortunately, it's not like Home and Away gets talked about much over here. Hayley's pregnancy was cover story news in OZ but over here it got a 3 inch space in inside soap.

Lis xxx Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 Exactly. We don't get enough Aussie news and gossip!! The stalker was huge news in OZ and we get such small articles on it and it doesn't get talked about at all. Shows like 'This morning' never pick up on it which seems ridiculous when nothing is going on in the brit soaps. H & A has got huge storylines coming up, so i hope they give it more space in the mags!!!
kanes_girl Posted October 1, 2005 Report Posted October 1, 2005 I'm sure i recall brit shows having H&A guests on a few years back when the storlines were less exciting!
