Oops, he did it.
I'm not sure if anyone else enjoyed Video Hits presenter Axle Whitehead's performance at Sunday's ARIA awards as much as I did. Gurning wildly and in no way under the influence of anything mildly illegal, he cheerily referred to manchild poplettes Human Nature as 'Boytown' whilst embarking on a frenzy of gesticulating and shouting before being escorted promptly from the stage.
What I didn't see from the safety of Sugar's living room, however, was his raging half-mongrel...
'TELEVISION personality Axle Whitehead has been rebuked by Network Ten after exposing his penis at the Australian Recording Industry (ARIA) Awards.
The incident was not telecast on Network Ten, and it was unclear how many of the 10,000 people, including young music fans, who were at the Acer Arena in Sydney last night saw it.
Whitehead, who has hosted Ten's Video Hits for two years, was on-stage presenting an award to hip-hop outfit Hilltop Hoods with radio jock Jabba, when he exposed himself.
He also simulated masturbation on the ARIA trophy as the winners made their way to the stage.'
I'll put money on ol' Scat-Man being dropped like a hot potato by his nice friends at Channel Ten, just like his ex-cohort Kelly Cavuoto was when she got liquored up and heckled Guy Sebastian (THE HORROR) in 2004. Personally I thought it was rather nice to see a little rock n roll on the ARIA stage, even if it was being presented to us by someone clearly made out of Tupperware.
'Woe is me, viewers! I got 99 problems, but it would appear a bitch is far from one of them!'
375 days til the next election.

I hope they don't sack him. Best thing he's ever done.
I'm sure his drink must have been spiked, right everyone? I mean, you don't just flop it out in a room full of Australia's important people in the industry you happen to work in, right? Just out of nowhere, for no apparent reason? Unless you're some kind of psycho? :)
what a tool. pardon the pun. I dont care how pissed you are, getting your tackle out is just poor form. This may seem old fashioned but you just make a dick of yourself. (another pun!)
hey, if it works for Tommy Lee it can work for Whitehead. That's right, I said it.
You mean to say the telecast wasn't live?!?!
Maybe we were just looking away at the wrong moment.
Shake what your Mama gave you, indeed!
Maybe he's just getting in early for next years 'RYWHM - Rate My Penis' post ?
Made of tupperware. Snort.
It kind of makes me wish I could withstand watching the ARIAS. I was having tea with a friend when they were on, and I literally lunged at the TV to turn it off. Apparently Eskimo Joe won't play that song about a sweater any more. Screw you, Eskimo Joe, and screw you, reason Jackie O is back on television for one night only!
I can't remember him getting the tackle out when he lived with me back when we were both starting Uni. But I do have very blurred pictures of me doing a nudie run at that stage.
apparently it wasn't tackle. it was his, er, sandwich.

check the jabba quote. and then retch/smile.
rach, i used to live with a couple of the joe funsters back in their first flush of success. it was not uncommon to hear their alternate lyrics 'i could never/fuck that fat bitch' blaring out of the rehearsal room. hey, they were kids. matured *somewhat* they have; demure and modest, they never were. actually, individually, i find them all charming people. it's just the band mentality when they're together that exudes exquisite arrogance.
as for axel – was this particular incident even necessary for anyone to ajudge him an irrelevant wankstain?
First the BB turkey slap, now this. How could reality TV have gone so wrong?? It promised so much...
You call this going wrong, wombat? Certainly made my ARIA awards a little more exciting.
MG, he looks more than a little like Randy Quaid in the photo in the article you linked.
Randy indeed.
Why does it not surprise me he is the type of person to not wear underwear.
Maybe we were just looking away at the wrong moment.
i wish we'd been looking away when tv rock were onstage. both times.
Raging half-mongrel? God you teach me something new every day Fitz. And typical, I take over a music magazine just in time to *miss* the worlds blandest awards ceremony. I need a bex and good lie down to cope with the pain.
Hmmm, I didn't see it. I'm sure there was dusting that needed to be done.
Seeing young Dean from Australian Idol perform on Sunday night was enough for me. Don't need the ARIA awards.
Really getting one's willy out is hardly subversive these days, unless you're a woman.
I feel bad for being probably the only person I know of who's curious to take a gander at the guy's junk.
Obvious question perhaps, but was his dick impressive enough for an appearance at a music award show? (keeping in mind that Axles willy was competing with 4 white guys pretending to be black girls)
Look on thew bright side,
Alex probably won't be voting family first, AND, the fundies have probably already prayed for his soul.
I know it's funny and all, woo hoo a cock on telle! Though I really hoped you would have mentioned the moment on the ARIA's that made us all realise what we except as entertainment is complete bullshit when placed up against a speech of substance.
Rob Hirst accepting his Hall of Fame award:
"Last week, George W Bush finally admitted that Iraq may prove to be his Vietnam. But Vietnam inspired some of the greatest protest songs ever written. Not so now, surprisingly, even when hundreds of thousands of Australians crowded our streets to demonstrate their opposition to another senseless war. Maybe complaint rock is still being written, but ignored by an industry hypnotised by get-famous-fast TV shows."
Ms Fits!!!
This requires your urgent attention.
THE ABC HAS AXED THE GLASS HOUSE!!!
Oh my goodness ... Mark Scott has shown his true colours as a Liberal Party patsy!
So much for the new Editorial Policies 'having a place for satire', etc, etc, etc.
Here's hoping 900,000 Glass House viewers vote against the Libs next year!
GET YOUR CRANKY PANTS ON!
IF THEY SACK HIM CAN I PLEASE HAVE HIS JOB KTHXBYE
How convenient. Axle has "quit".
Hey...getting ya pecker out when you've had a skin full is a great aussie tradition....Was it a big one?
Shaymus! You are worse than Meva.
Axel is now my hero. Imagine if someone with cred(tm) had done it. He /she sould be a hero, and not be lampooned on blogs with poorly drawn images of the event in question...
