TV host Henry signs on and off for a while
Popular TV broadcaster Paul Henry will be off the air for the next couple of months, but his long-term future with TVNZ now seems assured.
Henry has signed a three-year contract with the state broadcaster which will see him continuing to co-host its Breakfast programme.
But from the end of this week, he is taking a two-month break from work to recharge his batteries and spend more time with his three teenage daughters.
"I'll be back raring to go for the election but I just want the opportunity to spend a bit more time with my children and to also take a break from the hours," said Henry, who gets up for work at 3.40am every weekday.
"I've got the best possible TV show at the worst possible time.
"I love it though I can't think of any other show that gives you so much freedom and opportunity to be yourself and state your own opinions."
Henry refused to reveal how much his contract was worth but said he was "really happy with it".
He also refused to be drawn on ongoing rumours about his links with high-profile businesswoman Diane Foreman.
"I don't like to talk about my private life," he said. "I'm quite guarded about that."

Neil Diamond on track for first No. 1 album
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Forty-one years after he first appeared on the Billboard 200, Neil Diamond appears on course to earn his first No. 1 album ever on next week's chart. First-day sales of "Home Before Dark" lead the Nielsen SoundScan Building chart released May 7.
Unweighted sales for "Home" (Columbia) reported by the chart's panel of nine merchants through the close of business Tuesday, May 6, came in at 30,000. A source close to the album projects a first-week start in the neighborhood of 125,000. The current No. 1, Madonna's "Hard Candy" (Warner Bros.), may slide to No. 2 or No. 3 next week, while new entries from Gavin DeGraw, Clay Aiken, Toby Keith and Josh Groban look headed for top 10 bows.
Billboard estimates the merchants who report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building Chart -- Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Circuit City, iTunes, Starbucks, Borders, Target, Anderson Merchandisers and Handleman Co. -- account for about 80 percent of all U.S. album sales.
Over the course of Diamond's career, he has racked up 45 albums on the Billboard 200, starting with 1966's "The Feel of Neil Diamond." The recent "American Idol" guest has earned 13 top 10 albums, including his last effort, "12 Songs," which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in late 2005.
