Why does the subject of Shane Warne becoming Vice Captain keep rearing it's ugly head. I know he is a world champion bowler but sadly I think his off field antics  over shadow his playing prowess. Because of his absolute stupidity when it comes to the female of the species, he has proven himself to be a dreadful role model to young men and boys the world over.  I know the women who have involved themselves with Shane Warne have done so willingly but this guy cannot control himself. He can't even stop text messaging. He got rid of his phone... for a minute or two, and discovered he could not live without it. It would be a travesty if this womanising marauder was given accolades for his on field aptitude when his off field indiscretions are in the news to such an extent.

So you dont like shane then,SuziH......... :'(

How did you guess, Lawnbowler? lol. I think Shane Warne can be a brilliant cricketer BUT he has no control of his behaviour off the field. Having a wonderful supporting family, a beautiful long suffering wife and two beautiful children was not enough for him. He is very hedonistic and as such is a  vile role model for our young men and boys. Has any other cricketer in the history of aussie cricket brought so much scorn upon themselves for their off field behaviour?

If Simone Warne takes Warnie back after everything he has put her through then she needs to be committed to a Psychiatric Hospital. This guy is a rat, and once a rat always a rat.

If Shane Warne was the regular joe that lived next door to me, I would still think he was a moron, a sleaze and a love rat. Maybe I am too close to the situation having an Ex-husband who was unfaithful for no other reason than someone made herself available to him. It took me 7 years to get over it, and a couple more to realise I was not in love with him anymore and tell him how I felt and divorce him. It is a hurt that never heals. A trust broken that will never come back. Shane has been unfaithful more times than even he can remember, and even after telling Simone he would stop blah blah blah, he didn't and couldn't and never had the good sense to. Fair enough if someone has made one indiscretion but to continually repeat it, with any number of women, using safe sex or not, putting his wife at risk of god knows what diseases and public humiliation. To me my dislike of Warnie is not 'Tall Poppy Syndrome' at all. I find him a narcissistic, hedonistic, adulterous human being and they are qualities I do not acquiesce to in anyone, be they famous, infamous or joe blow.

I think I am entitled to go off topic but this does concern one of Australia's great bowlers, who essentially is a role model to young boys and men. Because of his off field antics this has detracted from his brilliance as a cricketer, IMHO. It IS about cricket, therefore and about a love rat who is a predominant member of Australia's International Cricket Team. Nuff said!

I must have sneezed at the wrong time because I hadn't heard any SERIOUS discussion about it.
What's wrong with the current VC. Gilchrist is just as good a keeper as Warne is at bowling, he can bat as well and he's a hell of a lot better role model than Warne ever will be.

I agree with you about Gilchrist, Zilva Zanga. The media go into over drive when Warnie arrives back in Oz or when he is in the public eye for whatever reason and says things like 'should Shane Warne be made Vice Captain of Australia????' and recently I even voted on a news poll that asked the same question. I chose 'NO' of course, pity was they didn't have a button that says 'Not on your life Nelly'.

Gee, I see that Shane Warne has signed (no joke) up for a promotion for a phone company. Oh great, just keep on texting, Warnie !! LOL

Who better to promote mobile phones!. . Telstra should have been beating  a path to his door. .  oh well!. . another missed opportunity.  :B ::)

Yeah, what next, Russell Crowe signing up for a crap phone company ?? *BANG*

It was inevedible, ineviddbble, invedilbe, it was inevitable.

I may need sex help: Warne
From: AAP
By John Coomber
March 07, 2006


SHANE Warne believes he may need help to deal with his serial indiscretions.
In an interview with Jana Wendt, published in this week's Bulletin magazine, Warne said he did not know why he continued to behave inappropriately when it meant the break-up of his family.

"There have been times when I have (asked myself) `Why didn't I think ... beforehand?'.

"I can't answer that question because I don't know. Now you can say that's stupid ... dumb or whatever, but I can't. I'm telling you, that's how it is."

Warne continued: "A lot of people don't understand. I don't understand ... Maybe I need to see people about it. Maybe. I don't know."

Warne said his high profile ("celebrity – I hate that word") presented him with sexual opportunities when he went out.

"There are opportunities there ... whether they just want to make money out of you, whether there's a set-up, meal ticket, whatever they want.

"And when you're lonely and you're away for six months, things sometimes just happen and then you regret it afterwards and you think `You idiot'."

Warne said he was not trying to make excuses, "but it's very hard being on the road. It's very lonely."

Warne said the public perception that he had been with hundreds of women was incorrect.

"I don't call them affairs because an affair, like, to me is someone that you've seen over a period of time.

"I've had a few one-night or two-night stands ... I've never fallen in love with anyone. I've never done any of that sort of stuff.

"I've slept with a couple of people and made some poor choices and put things in jeopardy with ... what I was happy with, and that's my own fault. I've got no-one else to blame about that stuff."

Warne said his three children, Brooke, Jackson and Summer, were the loves of his life.

"Unless you have children, you don't understand the bond.

"One of the hardest things I'm going to have to live with in my life is that I'm going to have to explain to them one day why mummy and daddy split up and they're going to see it as my fault, which is the case."

He said the other great love of his life was cricket.

"So I'm not going to lose both. I've got to make this a winner. I've got to focus all my energy. I've got to concentrate on this and this has to be successful ... there's no other way."

Warne said he knew that his recklessness had cost him his marriage, sponsorship deals, probably the Australian captaincy, but he did not dwell on it.

"It's done, and the more you harp on it, the more you whinge about it ... the more it stuffs with your head."

Wendt also found herself warming to him.

"I can tell you ... it is uncommonly easy to like him and a little harder to explain why," she wrote.

I wonder has he ever considered he is just a stuff up?

He's a joke isn't he??  And then today I read that Simone and he are back to living together!!  I can't beleive she can have so little self respect for each other.  Apparently he has been supporting her on DWTS but more likely he has just realised how hot she is looking and how much fun she is having without him!!  

And I'm sorry but an affair is an affair be it one hour, one night or one year.  He is definitely not a MAN in my book!

Also, Saphyre it's not like it was once with one woman. It has been quite a few, even after being found out on one account he goes off and does it again with someone else somewhere else. I watched DWTS last night for the first time and saw a woman (Simone) who has low self esteem and little self confidence. She has probably been with Shane since she was a teenager and knows nothing else and I'd say he was her first serious boyfriend. He has that advantage over any other man when it comes to Simone. He knows what buttons to push with her, obviously. I think she is MAD to even give him another chance, there are only so many chances to give someone (maybe one, in my book) before you realise that the person is abusing those chances. IF they get back together it will not last. Infidelity is a hurt that does not heal, even if you forgive the transgressor, there is a permanent scar left on the relationship and your heart. I know this from experience. Shane Warne should seek help from someone who is an expert in sexual addiction. Although I believe Shane's problem is he has a huge EGO that needs to be stroked by women and sex with women. He is an immature narcissist who thinks only of his own pleasure even if for one night of sex with a stranger.

she's a fool if she takes that swine back  >:(

heh, and I bet he's eating his words right now vis-a-vis his comments about SA cricket  :D

Oooooops! He did it again, and again, and again!

Warne caught in hotel romp
From correspondents in London
May 8, 2006


SHANE Warne, no stranger to off-field shenanigans, was caught out again yesterday when he was pictured in a British newspaper frolicking with a pair of models.
News Of The World published pictures of Warne standing in his underpants - emblazoned with what appears to be a Playboy logo - while a blonde and a brunette, both topless, fooled around with a giant blow-up sex toy.

The weekly tabloid also ran explicit text messages, allegedly from Warne, who is facing an expensive divorce battle with his wife Simone.

The threesome allegedly happened on Thursday night in a plush London flat – before the 36-year-old racked up some more impressive figures the following morning, taking 7-99 against Middlesex, his best performance yet for Hampshire in the English County Championship.

Coralie Eichholz, 25, hailed Warne's innings. "Shane blew our minds. He was so fit. I'd give him top marks for more than satisfying us," she said.

"He was talking dirty all the time. It was full on, hardcore and we had a great time. In the trouser department, he was above average.

"I've known him for years but nothing happened before because I knew he was married," the New Zealand-born brunette, who has also been seen canoodling with pop star Robbie Williams, said.

"But since his split he's been texting like mad. He even sent me one during a match."

Blonde television presenter Emma Kearney, also 25, said Warne had likewise bowled her over.
  
"Shane's a stallion and very willing to experiment. He loved playing around with the inflatable and was up for anything," she told the tabloid.

"He made love the way I like a man to. He was a bit rough, he bit me a couple of times and was firm and manly."

Warne has had several well-publicised extra-marital sexual escapades.

He has taken responsibility for the failure of his marriage, which has been blamed on a string of dalliances with young women, which reportedly occurred since he moved to England to play county cricket last year.

After the 10-wicket win over Middlesex, Warne admitted he was feeling the strain. He said in an interview: "If I'm honest, I'm tired out."

http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,19061223-23212,00.html

I do hope Simone is now 'over' him, fully. This idiot doesn't deserve any more chances. This morning on one of the early morning shows Max Markson (he must represent Shane in the publicity dept.) said that his off field behaviour does not affect what people think of him and no-one cares what he does off field. Sorry Max... you are wrong. Shane is a sex addict and no-one wants him to be a role model for their Cricketting youngsters. He has a major 'sleaze' factor and goodness knows how many communicable diseases he has. Yuck yuck yucky!

Gee, he could'nt stay well away from the mobile, can't he?? LOL

Now that this exclusive R-rated evidence that has Warnie with two semi-naked hookers doing it. Oh what great figures were there of 69 & 96 in the hotel room !! LOL

Anyway, it was great to see Simone Warne to call it quits to their marriage to Shane for good !! Simone you should officially get the divorce papers and sign it !! Go on Simone, sign it !!  ;)

Just found this on ninemsn...the pic is quite raunchy i guess..but i figured it was on ninemsn so i guess it would be alright here... :-/ but a mod can delete it if they want..

New sex scandal surrounds Warne
Monday May 8, 2006

Shane Warne doesn't waste time.

Less than a month into Warne's English county cricket season another sex story has appeared in the British tabloids.

Pictures in Sunday's edition of the tabloid News of the World allegedly show Warne and two 25-year-old models involved in sexual positions with a blow up toy, allegedly taken on Thursday night.

The alleged sexual episode occured in west London during Warne's Hampshire game against Middlesex when he claimed 7-99.

One of the models, Coralie Eiccholtz, has known Warne for a few years but said things only started heating up after she learnt that the cricketer had separated from wife Simone.

"I've known him for years but nothing happened before because I knew he was married," said the New-Zealand born Eiccholtz.

"But since his split he's been texting like mad. He even sent me one during a match."

The other model Emma Kearney praised Warne's performance.

"Shane's a stallion and very willing to experiment. He loved playing around with the inflatable and was up for anything," she said.

After the 10-wicket win over Middlesex, Warne claimed he was suffering.

He said in an interview: "If I'm honest, I'm tired out."

Warne's management did not immediately return calls.



the scandals just dont stop do they... ??)

A couple of months ago I started a thread in the Sports section dedicated to this w***er and you can find more here:

That's okay though, music313 as unless you go into the sports section (like I usually don't) you would not know about this thread.  :)

When I saw this mornings headlines  ??) . . the groan must have been heard in Perth . . I feel so sorry for his kids . . . what is he thinking ? . . (ooppps!. . forgot  :B  :B . . we all know WHAT he thinks with).   :D

How's it a scandal, he's single, the wife now attands openings of mail & how many guys would jump in with two models???


Not to sure about the doll.............

oops... :B sorry Suzi..! yeah i dont find myself entering the sports section all too often.. :)

As much as I can't stand Shane Porn errrr sorry Warne, I have absolutely no respect whatsoever for the so called "ladies" who can't wait to get to a newspaper to tell of "Their Night of Passion With SW".  This week's magazine has a story of Shane's "new love".  She sounds like a star struck kiddie who has a famous guy showing her attention.  Maybe Simone is only now a celeb because of her marriage woes, but in my mind she is the one who is trying to hold it all together and trying to keep things discreet for the sake of the kids.  She has been very dignified through it all I think and good luck for her if this opens up new doors for her.  She needs to lose this loser and get on with her life.  Unfortunately though her children will always keep her tied to him.  He just needs to keep it in his pants and think with his head instead of his appendage.  

Channel 10 news just made me laugh . . Shane (well) Worn  :P  says he  does not want to talk to the media as he wants to "keep his privacy'!!!!. .   ??) who is he kidding.  (funny) (funny)

In some respects I feel sorry for him. He deserved most of the bad media coverage when he was married and during the break up but now they're just picking on him. I think he's an awesome cricketer and probably a jerk in real life and someone I definitely wouldn't want to associate myself with but what he does in his own private life is exactly that, private. This is not a scandel, they're  just cheap pot shots from a media that loves him when he's taking wickets and hates him when he's not.

That is one way of looking at it. . . what about this though. .

He leaves his wife and kids to move on to the 'love of his life' . .  a discreet new relationship with somebody worthwhile and with at least a basic commitment in view . . . . yes . . they would be entitled to privacy. .  but he does not do that . . . he picks up with cheap, publicity seeking bimbos with cameras!. . sorry . . no pity . . (at least for HIM). . I feel for his wife and kids. . they don't deserve to have the horrid publicity he is inflicting on them . . he is a bad father and husband. . and a low quality man . . Great cricketer!. . but that too is transient. . good fathers and husbands outlast sporting glory.  :D

Those 'babes' would have touted those pics to the highest bidder . . he is too dumb to breathe . . and his kids will look at him and see a future they will need to avoid. . hoping it is not in the genes.  :(

Lol Gizmo I just love your way with words  :D  Couldn't have put it better myself...if he wants "privacy" perhaps he should stop having those blonde moments where he picks up with the trashy chicks.  Surely he must realise they don't want him because he's a sensitive new age guy???

Gizmo and Saphyre have my backing on this, completely. Shane Warne has a big Bullseye on his fat a** and every unscrupulous, no morals person in his vicinity will be targetting him. He is naive to think he has a 'Private' life. When you make choices like you do, Shane your life is up for grabs. You're an idiot Shane Warne! He even admitted that he has a 'problem' and needs professional help but has he sought that professional help? No! He enjoys what he does OFF the cricket pitch way TOO much. He is a hedonist in the worst possible way.

The truly sad part about this man is that he does not care one little bit! He makes heaps of money and laughs all the way to the bank. I feel bad for his kids in the wost way, they will have to bear the brunt of the kidding and bullying brought on by their father's actions! He may be having heaps of fun now, and doesn't give a s*** about what people say or think, but his kids will remember each time he appears in the news again. They may be to little to understand now, but kids have an amazing way of remembering things like this!

:-/ :-/ :-/

His kids would be far better off if the media didn't feel compelled to invade his privacy.  The media would not be compelled if WE did not feel compelled to invade his privacy.

The guy may be a tool but it really is his business... he's asked that it be his business and we won't respect that.  It's a scandal only because people want to define it as being one and it would be a better world if this sort of thing ended up in gossip magizines instead of headlining news.

On the other hand I guess we could lovingly force our opinions down his throat and discuss it even more so that his kids will hear as much about it as they can (think)
I wonder if I'll be around for the "Tom and Katie Divorced I told you so" thread.

I've only read abit about this in the paper so correct me if I'm wrong or missing a vital part to the story but if I'm correct, Shane Warne slept with 2 models and either one of them or both of them leaked the pictures to the press right? so wheres the scandel? apart from being an idiot for being so careless, has he really done anything scandalous? Are people hating him for what he's done in the past and thrown this story in there with the lot or has the media chosen a poor word to contrive this story as anything else but a good read in the gossip column? I think the main difference of opinion in this thread is where certain members draw the line on how much privacy celebrities should get. I for one would hate it if I slept with someone only for them to post pictures in the media as a stepping stone to something greater in their career and then have others saying "oh well, he's a celebrity, it comes with the territory...". In the end I guess the one thing we can all agree on is how much of a dic.k head he is.

Shane Warne is an arrogant, amoral git.  I don't know why anyone seems bemused or confused by that.  :X

I agree with all of you that Shane warne is stupid.  stupid only because he allowed himself to be set up and used by these two money grabbing bimbo's. In this promiscuous world we live in, any single,separated male (or female) is allowed to enter into any consensual relationship and be entitled to privacy providing no law was broken.  This should apply to Shane Warne also.  What he did was no worse than thousands of similar events happening every day, not that I am condoning them in any way, they have nothing to do with me. I for one would be very happy to see laws passed, prohibiting the private lives of celebrities and sporting stars being made public where they did not wish it to be so.
It is only because the public get up in arms when they read reports such as these that the media rub their hands with glee and continue to report such mindless drivel.
The Television companies and National press should ignore stories such as this and get on with real news that is of interest to us.

By saying all this please don't think I condone what he did while he was married, I absolutely abhor it. Anyone, male or female that plays around while married is the lowest of the low in my opinion.

It is a constant source of amusement to me that sporting any hero (mainly male) who are the best in their field are held in such high esteem for their sporting achievements no matter what they do privately . . people say 'What a good cricketer. . ". . but they seldom say . ."What a good father and husband. . even though he can't play cricket for quids". . newspapers attract the people who are tricky, coniving publicity hunters. . they alway will.
Anyone in a position of prominance should be aware that their private life is pubic domain when the public pay such high prices to pay their wages . .  it may not be the ideal way to do things. . but when they mix in bad company. . they and their families DO pay the price.

Funnily enough that 'old' expression "when you lay down with dogs you get fleas" comes to mind. I shouldn't be surprised if Warnie gets more than fleas.
The guy does not think with the brain in his head.

Warne's wife speaks out about divorce
Monday May 15 06:03 AEST

The estranged wife of Test cricketer Shane Warne says she'll revert to her maiden name as soon as their divorce is finalised, and wipe all traces of him from her life.

Simone Warne has told a woman's magazine she cannot wait to finalise her divorce with the spin king, and continues to ignore his calls and text messages.

"I can't bring myself to even speak to him," she told the magazine.

The couple's marriage collapsed almost 12 months ago after British newspapers reported Warne's alleged involvement in a series of sex scandals.

It was the final straw for Simone, ending years of highly publicised alleged infidelity by the world's leading wicket taker.

"I just want to hide under a palm tree with my kids," she said.

"You think it can't get any worse, and then it does.

"I know he can do anything he likes. He's a single man and what he does behind his own walls is his own business.

"But I just want him to think of the repercussions for the sake of his children."

The Warnes have three children - Brooke, Jackson and Summer.

Simone said women were obviously conning Shane by selling their stories to newspapers.

The former model also gives her opinion on whether Warne is a sex addict, and explains how she makes sense of his high-profile sex scandals to their children.

When asked what advice she'd dispense to her husband, Simone said: "Grow up and take some responsibility for your actions."

Good to see Simone not putting up with his crap anymore.

Yes I am glad she is making this stand now and I hope for her sake and the sake of her children that she sticks by her convictions.  People have been saying that she is now making a name for herself because of this and she is dragging along on her ex's coat tails but honestly, what woman wants to be a celebrity via these means??  I'm pretty damned sure she would have preferred to stay well out of the limelight and have a wonderful marriage to a sporting hero and raise her kids in quiet anonymity.  But this has been taken from her by her moronic loser of an ex-husband who has pretty much dragged her kicking and screaming into the spotlight.  Love her or hate her, I do admire her for her loyalty.  Rightly or wrongly she stayed by his side throughout ALL his scandals over the years.  Maybe it was stupid on her part but when you love someone as much as she obviously did once, it is hard to just walk away and say "well you are such an idiot...I want a divorce!".  But eventually after more than one "silly" mistake and his pleadings that he will never do it again (yeah right!) she is finally make the move to the future for her and her family.  Good on you Simone.

Warnie scores 1000 not out
By Peter Lalor
July 29, 2006 02:42am

CRICKET loves a statistic, but suggestions Shane Warne has slept with 1000 women and only been caught five times might add a new column to the game's score sheet.

Journalist Paul Barry hired an investigator to dig into the spinner's private life for his new book Spun Out.

Revelations about the spinner's sexual exploits have been so common over the past decade - dirty dialling with British nurse Donna Smith and flings with Australian stripper Angela Gallagher and English sales manager Kerrie Collimore - they fall into the dog-bites-man category, but a claim the author attributes to a Nine Network staffer raises some eyebrows.

"One of Shane's mates at Channel Nine told me that he reckoned Warne had probably had 1000 women and only got caught five times," Barry said.

"I thought at the time this was a crazy exaggeration. But now I'm not so sure.

"I personally know two other women who have been propositioned (or more) by him, and my limited knowledge of statistics says there must be a host of others with similar stories."

Warne has taken 685 Test wickets at 25.25 runs each to make him the game's leading bowler.

If the book's claims are true about his off-field activities there is little doubt he has claimed another cricket record.

However, the 36-year-old spinner still has a long way to go if he wants to rank alongside some American sports stars.

The 1960s basketball star Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain claimed to have slept with 10,000 women. He died at the age of 63.

Barry's book repeats a number of the best-known anecdotes about Warne, including the story of him being thrown out of the cricket academy for asking three young women for sex by a Darwin pool.

That chapter is titled "Suck on this".

People close to Warne say the version of the story is not completely accurate.

Warne's brother and manager Jason said yesterday he did not think there would be much new in the book.

"If people want to know the truth they had better wait to see what Shane says when he writes his," Jason said.

Barry approached Warne to co-operate with the book but the cricketer and his management refused and then instructed friends, family and colleagues not to speak to him.

Barry became so frustrated by the silence that he tried to front Warne at a cricket press conference in Brisbane last summer and the discussion became heated.

The author said at the time he had no intention of "doing a job" on the cricketer.

Barry quotes another "television mate" suggesting that a Nine staffer was assigned to keep the spinner out of trouble when on tour, and had "dragged (Warne) out of clubs all over the world".

The unauthorised biography, Spun Out which is serialised from today in Fairfax newspapers, claims that Simone Warne, who divorced her husband last year, had "no inkling" of her husband's indiscretions.

"She did not give him grief, as Shane put it, by phoning in the early morning to ask where he had been the previous night," Barry wrote. "She did not interrogate him about what he got up to. She was convinced for many years that he was completely faithful. And none of the team or their partners was going to dob Shane in."

Warne lost his marriage and his contract with Nine after a scandal last year. A former Test cricketer told The Weekend Australian Warne's exploits had alienated him from the team in the past decade.

How many times did Shane wear a condom and have safe sex thereby NOT putting his ex wife Simone, at risk of god knows what diseases? If he's like most other men cheating on their wives (and I do speak from experience) he never used a condom, not even once.

Simone bats for Shane

Article from: Sunday Herald Sun

SIMONE Callahan has gone into bat for her estranged husband Shane Warne over claims he slept with 1000 women.
Ms Callahan said she would sue author Paul Barry over allegations in his unofficial biography that Warne had been unfaithful only weeks after they married.

"I don't like what he (Barry) has said and I'm really disappointed that he has discredited our marriage," Ms Callahan said.

"One thousand is a lot of women and I don't think that's the case.

"I think it's just a promotion to sell books.

"I'll have a solicitor looking at it on Monday.  "It's a bunch of lies."

Ms Callahan announced a month ago she was reverting to her maiden name as part of a move to cut all ties with Warne.

Mr Barry said he could not see what grounds Warne or his estranged wife would have to sue.

"The suggestion that he's been unfaithful to Simone is hardly new.

"The book will be in stores on Tuesday and if they sue we'll defend it," he said.

Legal experts said last night that Warne would not have a strong case to sue for defamation.

"Most of what appears to be in the book relates to matters that Warne has already admitted to," said media lawyer Richard Leder of Corrs Chambers Westgarth.

"Given Warne's previous transgressions, I would not imagine there would be a strong case."

But Ms Callahan might have a case for defamation as she is portrayed as naive and "slow on the uptake", Mr Leder said.

"Simone might well have a stronger case than Shane."

Cricket fans on internet chat sites have rallied to support the embattled spin king.

Chat sites were abuzz yesterday with gossip and comment about Warne after the claims were made.

"Whatever Warney has done, he doesn't deserve a sneering attack like this. He's just a sportsman for God's sake," said "Dave" of Sydney.

Another internet forum launched an attack on Barry.

"Why doesn't this bloke just leave Warney alone? He's just a cricketer, not the Prime Minister, and all that matters is that he takes wickets for Australia," said "Phil".

Journalist Barry's unauthorised biography of the cricket star, Spin Out, alleges Warne had an affair only four months after his lavish 1995 South Yarra wedding.

Warne would "hit on anyone . . . (and) he has had to be dragged out of clubs all over the world by Channel 9 minders," the book says.

An unnamed current member of the Australian cricket team is quoted as saying Warne chases blonde women "insatiably".

1-10-100-1000 what does it matter? This slug was unfaithful all through his marriage. Be it one night stands or long term affairs it matters not one bit. He's a serial offender who can't say 'NO'! My exhusband when I asked 'how many times' (with the woman he confessed to having a 15 month affair with) said...."Once or a thousand times, it makes no difference! I had an affair." Mind you he threw a number out there eventually and I quadrupled it because who is going to admit to exactly how many times?

Denigrated Hines
From Sydney Confidential
August 14, 2006 12:00am

AUSSIE diva Deni Hines will seek legal advice over internet claims that she and Shane Warne were lovers.

Hines is the latest victim of the controversial internet website, which recently made a spoof claim that Bert Newton was unfaithful to his wife Pattie.
The anonymous posting on http://www.dontdatehimgirl.com alleged Warne would regularly fly to Sydney to meet "DH", who it says is a daughter of an Australian Idol judge.

It alleges the affair occurred before he had left his wife Simone Callahan and adds: "Stay tuned: many more to come!"

The singer's manager Karen-lee Goody said the claim was utterly false. "She has never been with Shane Warne. She only met him at a charity event in Melbourne late last year. I get her phone bills and I can say for sure there have been no text messages either," she added.

Hines, who is in a committed relationship, would sue those responsible if the message was not removed, Goody warned.

The posting follows claims in a biography that Warne, 36, had slept with 1000 women.

Hines has laughed off the rumour, jokingly asking: "Why couldn't it have been Brad Pitt?"

Bert Newton came out swinging in recent weeks after the spoof entry was made about the game show host - despite being happily married to wife Pattie for 32 years.

It is not known, however, whether new Sydney resident soccer star Dwight Yorke is planning to refute claims on the site he paid a colleague $200 to "relieve the muscle tension" in a groin strain.

The colleague claims Yorke then asked her to suck the venom from a stingray bite to his private parts.

Warnes back together: report
April 1, 2007 - 9:23AM


Spin king Shane Warne and his estranged wife Simone are getting back together.

The high-profile couple, who split over Warne's womanising, were last night due to fly out of Australia with their three children for a new life in the United Kingdom, according to a newspaper report.

The couple will reportedly settle on the south coast of England, where Warne has at least two more years to play for county cricket side Hampshire.

The family's mansion in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton is on the market, and the children have been enrolled in school in England.

"Shane and Simone have been working out their differences and you can draw your own conclusions from that," a source close the couple told the paper.

Make that ARE back together and have flown out to England with the kids. On the Sunday morning Sunrise show (whatever the heck it's called) the guys in the studio including Simon and Beretts were very approving of Simone's 'look' at the airport! I missed it but they mentioned the word 'blooming' to describe her. I suppose she was wearing something revealing to put the guys in a flurry of excitement.  ??)
Having lived through a cheating husband's misdemeanor's I really hope that Shane is worth all the effort and that Simone doesn't end up humiliated by him again.

If the media leave them alone I am sure they will make it.  He is very lucky to have been given yet again another chance to keep it in his pocket.........he has to be stronger than the average bloke as there are many golddiggers out there who will be testing him.

What is there left to say about the Warnes?

Not much, except they must be one of the most selfish couples going around.

Simone made her bed when she moved back to England (for the second time) to be with Shane _ and now she must lie in it _ albeit alone.
Meanwhile serial adulterer Shane, seems to spend his time lying in bed with any woman who has a pulse. I really don’t know where he gets the time to fit in cricket with all his philandering.

None of us are surprised by Simone’s latest “teary” revelation of being screwed over (yet again) by the cricket champion. And nor should she be, which is why few of us can feel any sympathy for the mother-of-three.
If anything, the debacle of their “marriage” (they divorced last year) has become as tiresome as re-runs of Fawlty Towers, but far less funny.
In July 2005, Simone gave exhausting details of the impact her husband’s philandering had on her, and their three children.
She told of the trauma for their kids Brooke, Jackson and Summer to say goodbye to their home, grandparents, friends and school when she decided to give him a second chance and follow him to England, only to have to turn around within weeks when she discovered he was being unfaithful yet again.
At the time, Simone claimed it was the straw that broke the camel’s back and she finally filed for divorce, pocketing $10million along the way and reverting to her maiden name.
But even before the ink on the divorce papers was dry, the couple were seen holidaying and canoodling again in Fiji.
She even had the gall to sell the story of their reunion to a women’s magazine calling it their “second honeymoon’’.
Before we knew it, the 37-year-old had again packed up the kids and headed back to England to be with Shane saying he was a changed man.
Now she’s back. Boring us with the same quotes such as:  “I’m absolutely devastated;” “it was the wake-up call I needed”; “it broke my heart all over again so it’s over forever now, the leopard doesn’t change his spots”.
The question must be asked: How much were you paid this time for your story?
Enough Simone.
If not for your own sanity, then at least think of Brooke, Jackson and Summer.
How confused must they be now?
These three innocent children do not deserve to be dragged around the world, leaving their friends and grandparents behind, every time their selfish mother has physical needs.
It’s not healthy for them and their schooling must be beginning to suffer.
Face it. Shane Warne is a deadbeat husband and dad.
He’s never going to change.
And it’s time you give your children the opportunity to enjoy their lives, even if you’re such an emotional cripple you can’t.

The only losers in the sad and sorry Warne Saga are the children. They honestly must not know what is happening in their lives. One week their parents are together the next week they live in England the next week their Dad lives with them the next week he doesn't and they are back in Melbourne. For goodness sake give these kids some stability, selfish ***bippettybip*** adults. Grow up! >:(

i totally agree with SuziH, the poor children are the ones to suffer. and if shane warne wasn't in the lime light would there be such a fuss? and what about his wife, as soon as they spilt she sells her story to the highest bidder. the kids should have stablity and they can't get it with parents like them. >:( >:( >:(
