Channel 10 unveils first look at The Project's replacement
Channel 10 has unveiled the first look at 10 News+, its new show which will air in place of The Project when it wraps up at end of the month after 16 years.
The glossy promo, which Network 10 shared across social media and its main channels, features the program's two hosts, journalists Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace, reeling off their credentials to prospective new viewers in a bid to showcase the show's dedication to hard-hitting news.
The pair, who both recently jumped ship from the troubled Seven Network, reveal they have 'been on the road' and 'travelled to every corner of the globe' while promising to deliver the 'truth first'.
With the show less than two weeks away from launching, Channel 10 are ramping up the promotion in a bid to entice viewers to take a gamble with the new show.
However, the exact format of the show still remains relatively unclear, despite the promo push from the network, which could be a critical error in their hopes of persuading viewers to switch over from the more familiar news bulletin offerings on Seven and Nine.
It was confirmed last week that current affairs and entertainment panel program The Project was wrapping up at the end of this month after 16 years on air, with hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald all leaving the network.
Another of its departing regular panellists, comedian Sam Taunton, broke his silence on the show's axing during his latest stand-up routine, joking about his family's reaction to the news.
'It's just like everyone f**king knows you've lost your job and it's crazy,' said the comedian.
'My dad rang me and said: 'Look, if I'm honest, the show wasn't for me. I prefer real news.''
He continued: 'My girlfriend just sent me a Google Docs spreadsheet that said 'Chores now that Sam's unemployed.''
Taunton also revealed during his set that co-star Aly had warned him about the attention they would be receiving after the news was announced to the world that the show was coming to an end.'It's weird losing your job very publicly. Waleed, you might know that guy. He texted me on Wednesday and he goes, he goes, I'm so sorry, Sam. Get prepared. I just got papped by the paparazzi outside Chemist Warehouse near the studio.'

‘Unemployed': The Project's Sam Taunton makes light of losing his TV job
The Project star Sam Taunton has poked fun at Channel 10 axing the long-running panel show, effectively making he and his co-stars unemployed. It was confirmed last week that the current affairs and entertainment panel program was wrapping up at the end of this month after 16 years on air, with hosts including Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald all leaving the network. Taunton, who regularly hosts comedy segments on the panel show, broke his silence over the show's axing during his latest stand-up routine, where he revealed his close family's reaction to the news that he was now unemployed. 'It's just like everyone f**king knows you've lost your job and it's crazy,' said the comedian. 'My dad rang me and said: 'Look, if I'm honest, the show wasn't for me. I prefer real news.'' He continued: 'My girlfriend just sent me a Google Docs spreadsheet that said 'Chores now that Sam's unemployed.'' Taunton also revealed during his set that co-star Waleed Aly had warned him about the attention they would be receiving after the news was announced to the world that the show was coming to an end. 'It's weird losing your job very publicly. Waleed, you might know that guy. He texted me on Wednesday and he goes, he goes, I'm so sorry, Sam. Get prepared. I just got papped by the paparazzi outside Chemist Warehouse near the studio.' Taunton then joked: 'I ran as fast as I could to the chemist's warehouse. Not one f**ker took a photo of me!' Ten recently revealed details of the program replacing The Project, which launches on June 30. 10 News+ will be hosted by journalists Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace from Sunday to Thursday, and Hugh Riminton and Urusa Heger on Fridays. Also featured in the presenting line-up are political editor Ashleigh Raper, Billy Hogan, Brianna Parkins, Samantha Butler, Carrie-Anne Greenbank, Claudia Vrdoljak and entertainment editor Angela Bishop. Veteran producer Daniel Sutton will serve as EP. In a statement, Ten said that the new program 'will offer a fresh perspective on critical local and global stories, tailored for an engaged audience seeing an in-depth news coverage.'

Bianca Censori is the spitting image of Kim Kardashian in latest near-naked outfit
All eyes were on Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori when she arrived for a spa day, but it wasn't because she was once again near-naked. The 30-year-old drove herself to her beauty appointment in LA on Tuesday, looking almost nude as she embarked from her brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo 4S. Melbourne-born architect Censori put on a leggy display in a nude thong bodysuit with a plunging neckline that showed off some serious cleavage. Completing the outfit were her boots with the fur and black sunglasses. With her cascading dark hair and equally dark shades, Censori closely resembled West's first wife, Kim Kardashian. The rapper was married to the reality-star-turned-beauty-mogul for seven years before their split in 2021. In late 2022, he began dating Censori and by December that year, they were married. This isn't the first time Censori has sparked comparisons to Kanye's former wife. Kardashian, 44, was called out for trying to look like her ex's new wife back in February when she rocked a nude leotard with a pair of fairy wings for her Skims shapewear campaign. In December, Kardashian was also compared to the Aussie model and architect when she posed in a teeny string bikini and plunging top on Instagram. 'Bianca has multiplied,' one person commented on the photo at the time, while another wrote, 'Kimca Censori.' Now, it appears Censori has taken inspiration from Kardashian with her latest look as the voluminous hair resembles KK in her Kanye West era. But it appears the Aussie is following in Kardashian's footsteps in more ways than one. This solo outing comes after it was revealed earlier this month that Censori has started her own business empire. According to The US Sun, at the start of June she set up her first US company called Bianca Censori Inc. It was registered last month with the state of California and she is listed as CEO and secretary. It's believed her business will be in the beauty realm, given the chief financial officer is listed as Hussein Lalani, who specialises in selling cosmetic treatments. Lalani founded the skin care brand Zensa, which sells beauty procedures such as a DIY Brazilian wax kit and microblading.
