Idol's star treatment
October 31, 2003
IDOL finalists Cosima, Guy and Shannon were given the star treatment by about 2000 screaming fans at Warringah Mall last night.
Dicko makes a fan happy.
As Dicko pointed out, there were more people there than in Shannon's home town of Condobolin.
For Guy, it was just a relief to make it to the stage with his trademark hair intact.
"I remember the last time we did this (a mall appearance), when I came out, they were all pulling my hair," he said.
Some diehard fans waited up to eight hours to meet the stars and get an autograph. Some waved carefully crafted signs, but the most disturbing was probably the "Dicko You Sexy Beast" banner.
"I'm just so humbled by the response, it's great," Cosima, who earlier had climbed the Harbour Bridge with her two rivals, said.
Warringah Mall's security got a good workout and also foiled the plans of a prankster, who was stocked up with two cartons of eggs.
With 2Day FM broadcasting live from the centre, locals popping in for a carton of milk didn't stand a chance. Meanwhile, non-Idol Paulini yesterday spent the day with the Fijian rugby squad at the Crowne Plaza, Coogee.
