This is your entertainment update for March 16th. Australian radio hosts Kyle Sandelands and Jackie O'Henderson face tough new restrictions after the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Imposed license conditions on their network, ARN. Starting Monday, any show featuring either host must avoid highly offensive content or strong explicit sexual references for the next five years. Judge by ordinary listener standards, breaches could bring fines, court orders, or even license cancellation.

ARN earned these rules due to repeated failures under the commercial radio code of practice. Officials say the company has struggled to manage on-air content properly. Now, violations trigger stronger penalties than before. Jackie O. Henderson, the 51-year-old star, appeared downcast while out in Sydney amid her wrongful termination fight with ARN. The network axed her $100 million deal after she declared she could no longer work with Kyle. That fallout stemmed from Kyle's harsh on-air remarks that upset Jackie. ARN suspended the 54-year-old host for two weeks on misconduct charges, giving him time to remedy it or face firing.

Insiders predict Kyle's contract end soon, with no reinstatement likely. These hurdles seriously dimmed chances for the pair's comeback, as regulators keep a close watch.
