Star Academy 7: better late than never

It would appear that the next series of Star Academy in France will not be starting at the end of August/beginning of September as in previous years. It’s been confirmed that it won’t start till October and will run to February. This is to accommodate coverage of the forthcoming Rugby World Cup (boooooring). Oh well at least we’ll be able to follow it beyond Christmas. It looks as if Alexia Laroche-Joubert won't be this year's directrice, as she is currently expecting a baby. She also recently got married, so big congratulations to her and her new hubby.
