Defamer Australia Wants YOU!

That’s right, dear viewers. We’ve got a few blog-segment ideas we’re planning on launching over the next couple of weeks and we’re going to need your contributions in order to develop into the swarthy, likeable, deeply fascinating site we know we could be, if only you opened your hearts and minds to us.

Here are just three things you’re welcome – nay, encouraged! – to participate in.

Celebrity Check-Out
Our American siblings Defamer and Gawker have, respectively, their Hollywood PrivacyWatch and Gawker Stalker features. Defamer Australia would also dearly love to know just who the hell you’ve caught sauntering about town. Spotted Russell Crowe pushing his little chubber Charlie around the streets of Woolloomooloo? Did Blake from Home & Away kick you out of Pontoon at closing time? Has that chick from Neighbours – you know, what’s her name… the one who sexed up Connor – poured you a beer at yer local? Let us know.

There is of course another, far more interesting way of approaching a segment called “Celebrity Check-Out” – and the idea actually came from someone famous! Here’s the direct quote from our friendly entertainment industry inhabiting chum’s helpfully suggestive email…

Um, I think ‘celebrity check-out’ might keep us all on our toes, as we test our photographic memories to recite every item in (insert name)’s grocery/pharmacy/sexmart purchase.

Brilliant. If you happen to stumble across someone remotely famous purchasing items, please do your damnedest to memorise their shopping list and let us know. Once we served The Freak from Prisoner: Cell Block H whilst working as a check out chick at Franklins. She bought loads of health food and a packet of Benson & Hedges Ultra Mild, and wrote her shopping list on the back of a photocopy of a glowing review of her latest play. FACT.

Email tips@defamer.com.au and put Celebrity Check-Out as the subject title and you’ll soon see the fruits of your disconcerting lingering beside the well-known on the internerd.

YouTube Clip ‘O’ The Day
This one’s fairly self explanatory, isn’t it? Find something quite brilliant on YouTube (or any other clip site for that matter, we only say ‘YouTube’ cos it sounds punchy)? Then we insist you give us the heads up. Even if you think we would have already stumbled upon it, you must send us a link anyway. We have our finger on the pulse of pop culture and web obsessions far less than you’d think BUT DON’T TELL OUR EMPLOYER.

Email tips@defamer.com.au and put Clip Of The Day as your subject title. Voila!

Wednesday Gig Guide
We’d like to give you heads up about various gigs, shows and other such malarky – but unfortunately, we’re unable to spend one day per week in each of this fine country’s states and territories investigating the local “scene”. Which means if there’s a killer night out on the verge of happening in your town, let us know so we can totally pimp it out and pretend we know exactly what’s going on at any point in time across this wide brown land. Make sense? Excellent. We’ll collect the goings on you report and on a Wednesdays we’ll publish a state by state, territory by territory run down of what we think sounds the most like social top choice beef for the coming week.

ANYTHING ELSE?
While we’re finding our feet during these incredibly exciting and formative early days, any other suggestions you have are hungrily craved by Defamer Australia. Don’t hesitate to send us an email if you think of anything we should take a look at and/or start up on the site.

And just in case you still haven’t picked up on Defamer Australia’s contact email address? Alright, one more time – tips@defamer.com.au.
