20 years already… Learning that “The New Star” turns 20 is not going to make anyone any younger. And probably not the main telecrochet playersM6. Indeed, in 20 years, the issue of the sixth channel has seen hundreds of artists. Whether it’s Steeve Estatof, Myriam Abel, or even Julien Doré. But also many jurors. Dove Attia, Manu Katché, Lio, André Manoukian, or even Marianne James, to name a few, have all had the chance to give a chance, or send home, the talents who presented themselves before them. But in addition to the emotions offered by the jury or the candidates, the show also experienced huge clashes.
On the occasion of the anniversary program broadcast this Wednesday, February 15 on M6, Marianne James is also back on a moment that she has never forgotten. Near Telestarshe remembered a big quarrel with Manu Katché. “I really pissed them off. I was really a candy-breaker, at the theater in Paris. And Manu freaked out”she remembered while acknowledging that this clash had really gone “too far”. Especially since it would have taken several days before burying the hatchet.

Marianne James takes the lead with Manu Katché … Benjamin Castaldi is the main victim
This is why the colleagues of Marianne James and Manu Katché have all tried to pick up the pieces, almost without success. Even Benjamin Castaldi, host of “The New Star” from 2003 to 2006 he also tried to patch up the duo. “André Manoukian tried to put the pieces back together”first confided Marianne James before laughing out loud when she mentioned the columnist of “TPMP” : “Benjamin Castaldi stuck to it too but took one”.
The confusion went so far that Manu Katché “didn’t even want to continue the show”. Fortunately more fear than harm. A member of the production of “The New Star” finally knew how to find the right words for the two protagonists to bury the hatchet. “I made a commitment to stop pissing them off and we started off on a good footing”, finally concluded the former member of the jury. Perhaps this altercation will be replayed on the occasion of the anniversary program broadcast this Wednesday, February 15 … But without Benjamin Castaldi who was not called by the production for the event.
