Grant Denyer Feels Like He's Had Sex With A Black Man

Australian Post Posted by Jess McGuire at 6:26 PM on May 8, 2007

CONTROVERSY ALERT!

Channel Seven "personality" and high achieving showbiz midget Grant Denyer made a big mistake this morning whilst speaking to NOVA969's Merrick and Rosso when he described his post Logies exhaustion as being akin to having sex with a black man.

In response to a question about his condition after the Logies, Denyer, who hosts Seven's It Takes Two show, said he had slept for only two hours after the awards night.

"So it was a big old day … let me say I'm feeling like I had sex with a black man right now," he said.

Denyer made another reference to his sexual analogy at the end of the segment, saying "I'll be the host who looks like he's been riding a horse for a week."

We had no idea the Logies after parties were such anal sex fests, but there you go.

You Have Placed Graffiti In My House... OhhhAHHHHOOoohoooaaah!

Australian Post Posted by Jess McGuire at 1:23 PM on May 8, 2007

In the ongoing list of people we're glad we aren't at the moment (Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan et all), we've just added Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox's daughter Lola. You see, Lola decided to have a party and... well, things went out of control. Read for yourself.

A party hosted by Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox's teenage daughter has reportedly left the pop star's former marital home trashed after gatecrashers learnt of the bash via the internet.

The Daily Mail said Lennox's 16-year-old daughter Lola emailed around 30 close school friends to say she was planning a get-together at her film producer father Uri Fruchtmann's north London home while he was out of town.

Uh-oh. We see where this is going.

· Just in case the recently unveiled "Paris Hilton Autopsy" didn't fulfill all of your Hilton-related ironic-sculpture needs, we direct your attention to "Suicide Socialite," on display this weekend at the Venice Contemporary. [Photo: TheVeniceContemporary.com]
· Today, a fairly gross "news of the weird" item; tomorrow, a misguided viral Spider-Man marketing campaign aimed at raising awareness among 9-year-olds.
· Ellen Barkin laments her decision to become billionaire arm-candy.
· Celebrity charity endorsements: worth all the substance-abusing, bisexual make-out trouble? Of course they are.
· Maggie Gyllenhaal's breastfeeding ignites online momtroversy.

Well This Seems Like A Slight Over-Reaction.

We'll force her to hand it back, if only to stop the violence.


Boom, as they say, and tish.

(We'll get our coats).

Our Kylie - Homewrecker?

Australian Post Posted by Jess McGuire at 8:48 AM on May 8, 2007

Kylie Minogue.  Picture: PhotorazziOh bitch please. Our Kylie is a living doll, a total angel, perfection personified! There is no way she'd do a Britney Spears and run off with someone whose partner is about to give birth. We absolutely refuse to believe the latest rumours.

The pop princess was tracked down by a British newspaper while holidaying in Chile with Mexican film director Alexander Dahm.

Dahm, 39, and Minogue recently struck up a friendship on a shoot in Acapulco for the Australian singer's H&M swimwear range.

Dahm's pregnant wife Laura is weeks away from giving birth to a second child.

Rest Easy - Nothing's Gonna Stop Evanescence From Delivering The Sook.

Australian Post Posted by Jess McGuire at 8:27 AM on May 8, 2007

Amy Lee.  Picture: Wild1 / PhotorazziIf you're anything like us, you tend to spend a large portion of your day worrying about Evanescence. What if something ever stopped them from making the brilliant and powerful music they're so renown for? What if Amy Lee got happy? We gasped in shock when we heard Amy had recently fired a couple more members of the band, petrified that this latest turn of events would stop what had seemed like a never ending flow of sensuous emo-symphony (Evanescence being our favourite soundtrack for sexy self-harming).

Luckily we were able to quickly exhale with relief because according to Amy, everything's gonna be alright.

Humble Sony Chief Taken By Surprise By Hugely Expensive Blockbuster's Box Office Success

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 8:10 AM on May 8, 2007

After finding out that her mega-budgeted Spider-Man 3 had, as many expected, shattered virtually all of the opening weekend box office records anyone cares about, no one would have begrudged head Sony cheerleader Amy Pascal a little celebratory gloating when the media came calling for comment. But to her credit, it appears that she decided to play things humble rather than declare she would be dedicating a large portion of the movie's proceeds to the hunting down and killing of any critic who dared doubt the project's inevitable, benchmark-setting success:

"In your deepest, darkest, most secret desires you could never expect it to do so well," said Amy Pascal, Sony's studio chairwoman. "We're floating."

Breaking: Free Paris Movement Gaining Momentum

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 7:37 AM on May 8, 2007

hilton-appeal.jpg
At last, hope: Paris Hilton's legal team has filed a notice that they will appeal Friday's sentence (a process that could go on for a year), taking the crucial first steps towards reversing the egregious miscarriage of justice currently tearing Los Angeles apart. We know that each update brings a fresh wave of nausea to those who can't bear the thought of 45 straight days without a new TMZ video of Hilton entering one of West Hollywood's most exclusive drinking establishments, but do your best to swallow down the hot bile of empathy rising in your throat, knowing that some very capable, very expensive lawyers will do their best to make sure that their too-trusting client's summer isn't sacrificed to a justice system trying to make an example of someone too innocent to even know she was repeatedly breaking the law.

Kevin Costner Not Done Peopling The Earth

costner-baby.jpgSure, pressing one's extremities into wet pavement outside the Chinese Theatre provides a certain level of immortality for an aging movie star hoping to leave something behind besides Walmart bins full of marked-down copies of The Guardian, but there's nothing quite like the doughy, powder-scented palpability of a freshly sired newborn to fully reinvigorate one's faith in one's own enduring legacy:

Cayden Wyatt Costner weighed seven-pounds, 14-ounces when he was born 10:30 Sunday morning at an undisclosed Los Angeles area hospital. [...]

HBO, ABC Well-Represented On Weekend Police Blotters

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 6:15 AM on May 8, 2007

albrecht-pennington.jpg
As it turns out, Paris Hilton's late Friday sentencing to 45 days in a tragically unfashionable Lynwood jail would kick off something of a blockbuster weekend in Hollywood jurisprudence: The Smoking Gun reports (with unflattering mugshot!) that HBO CEO Chris Albrecht was arrested for suspicion of an assault against his girlfriend in the valet parking lot of Las Vegas' MGM Grand hotel following the Oscar De La Hoya/Floyd Mayweather fight on Saturday night, a physical altercation that we're sure will be explained away as nothing more than the pay cable chief getting a little carried away in excitedly demonstrating a dramatic domestic dispute that will transpire between Tony and Carmela in one of the remaining four episodes of The Sopranos. Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition star Ty Pennington took a more traditional path to the police blotter (sadly, no booking photo is available) by getting popped for drink driving in West L.A. Pennington's people have already issued a public statement of apology aimed at restoring his fans' faith in their favourite primetime toolbelt model:

Paris Hilton Finally Free Of Criminal Svengali Elliot Mintz

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 6:11 AM on May 8, 2007

db10bd8de62347b0dde2305e402f74f9.jpgWith Paris Hilton reportedly blaming Elliot Mintz in open court for her failure to understand the finer implications of a suspended license, it was unsurprising that the trusty PR manservant would be swiftly dispensed with. The flack's shitcanning instantly elicited a conundrum: Who issues the P.R. statements for disgraced P.R.-statement-issuers? (That would be Mintz himself, who holds no ill will towards Paris, her family, or anyone else associated with those backstabbing motherfuckers.) As for Paris herself - the wonky eye at the centre of this particular celebrity shitstorm - well, she feels it's just not fair:

"I told the truth," Hilton told photographers waiting outside her Los Angeles home on Saturday night.

Trade Roundup: 'Lost' Writers Have Just 48 More Episodes To Figure Out What's Going On

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 5:23 AM on May 8, 2007

lost.jpg· Lost's producers officially get three more years to pretend that they have any clue what's happening on that island, as the US ABC network gives the series an advance order for three more 16-episode seasons. As currently scheduled, all loose ends involving smoke monsters, polar bears, and Jack and Kate finally getting it on should be tied up in early 2010. [Variety]
· Did we mention that Spider-Man:3's $US227 million outside the US was an international box office record? Well, it was! Unless you don't think it should count because it includes a six-day total from some early-opening foreign territories. [THR]
· DreamWorks wins the bidding war for Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones adaptation, committing at least $US65 million to the project. Now that the deal is closed, perhaps Jackson's lawyers will calm down about assistants sharing the script. [Variety]
· Fans of the The OC who think the show was mercy-killed prematurely should be heartened by creator Josh Schwartz's pilot season buzz, which indicates that his projects for NBC and The CW are looking like strong contenders for pick-ups. [THR]
· In other pre-upfront pick-up news, NBC has already greenlighted Medium for a fourth season, ensuring that at least one network will have a juggsy psychic on its primetime schedule. [Variety]

On Second Thought, Maybe You Don't Want Paris Freed

Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 4:29 AM on May 8, 2007

dont-free-paris.jpgParis Hilton, as you may have heard from a pretty local news correspondent trying to explain why the boutiques of Robertson Blvd. were set aflame by pro-celebutard rioters on late Friday afternoon, was recently sentenced to spend 45 days in jail for violating her probation by driving on a suspended license. If you're anything like us, you immediately took to the web to find a t-shirt that would succinctly express your outrage over this miscarriage of justice, but, after some more soul-searching on the matter, you decided that this unexpected holiday might teach Hilton a valuable lesson about listening to publicists, rendering your FREE PARIS impulse buy suddenly unrepresentative of your feelings. Take heart, for the Gawker Shop now offers its own t-shirt to reflect your change of heart about the heiress's upcoming incarceration: the DON'T FREE PARIS, available in wide array of sizes, allowing Hilton fans of virtually any body-shape to let the world know he or she has Hilton's best interests at heart.
