Ellen Fanning set for SBS TV gig ELLEN Fanning has been absent from our screens for some time, but Diary can now reveal SBS is about to announce a new Sunday night current affairs vehicle for the respected journalist, currently marking time at The Global Mail. Fanning, the last presenter of Nine's long-deceased Sunday program, will host The Observer Effect, which Diary understands is based on a French TV format. What this means for her gig at TGM is unclear, but Diary suspects Fanning will be more than pleased about a gig back on TV.
