Mick Molloy’s New Telly Show Debuts Tonight
8:56PM Jess McGuire | We’re currently writing this post while hosting trivia in a pub (the internet and Defamer Australia, being soulmates, are inseparable) so we won’t get to watch it.
Can someone else do all the hard yards, watch The Nation on Channel Nine, and tell us honestly what it’s like? If Jackie O appears, we insist you spit on your screens.

Gruesome Sex Pair Thought For The Day
4:28PM Jess McGuire | We just heard from a very good source that, back in the day (ie. the nineties), E Street star and conduit for the most amazing lyric in pop history (“If you want to wait til later, hands off my detonator!”) Melissa Tkautz used to let Richard Wilkins place himself inside her.
Allegedly.
Inside her.
Wilkins.
Tkautz.
Sex.
That is all.
Allegedly. More » Australian Song Of The Year To Be Decided This Evening
4:27PM Jess McGuire | Tonight’s APRA Awards will see one of the following ‘tunes’ declared Song Of The Year.
- Eskimo Joe’s Black Fingernails Red Wine
- John Butler Trio Funky Tonight
- Gotye Heart’s a Mess
- Wolfmother Joker & the Thief
- Augie March One Crowded Hour
As far as we’re concerned, it should be handed straight to Augie March without any discussion whatsoever, which means it’ll probably go to John Butler Trio.
DEFAMER AUSTRALIA/AUGIE MARCH FACT! Glenn Richards once tried to help a boozy Defamer Australia spell ‘Phnom Penh’ in an SMS when predictive text proved completely useless! More » If They’re Accepting Nominations For ‘Dykon’, Then They Should Definitely Consider ‘Sezbian’
4:13PM Jess McGuire | Macquarie Dictionary is already on the hunt for the new Word Of The Year.
It may be only four months since muffin top – “the fold of fat around the midriff, which spills over the top of tight-fitting pants” – was named the Macquarie Dictionary inaugural word of the year. But nominations are rolling in for the 2007 winner.
“I’ve already got quite a nice little bundle of suggestions on my desk,” said Sue Butler, editor of the dictionary, who with colleagues will prepare a shortlist to be put to a public vote.
It’s like Australian Idol, but with words!
Other phrases to catch her attention include: micro-blogging, happy-clappy and, especially since the despoliation of the Gwydir wetlands, Ramsar site, named after the Iranian town where a convention to protect such areas was signed.
Ms Butler spoke after the publication in London of the new Collins English Dictionary. Some of its new entries may be familiar. They include the Australian barbecue stopper, the American McMansions, the untraceable but possibly Australian Dykon, for a celebrity admired by lesbians, and the ubiquitous muffin top.
We managed to get ‘sezbian‘ into a Neighbours script, for fucks sake. Sue Butler, we demand you embrace it! DEMAND! EMBRACE! SEZBIAN!

Rebecca Should Be Fine For A Good Couple Of Weeks – ‘Hundreds’ Of Mormons Are Behind Her!
4:00PM Jess McGuire | Well, they might not all be Mormons. But still, she has a voting posse and that can only be a good thing for the gal.
Big Brother contestant and Mormon Rebecca Dent may not be popular among her housemates but chances are she is getting some help from the faithful who bombard the show’s voting lines.
Rebecca’s mother, Rosemary, says her daughter has “hundreds” of friends voting regularly to save the 23-year-old from eviction despite the fact there are many within the church who oppose the show.
Nominated by almost every housemate last week, Rebecca evaded eviction for a second time on Sunday night thanks to a huge amount of save votes that ousted rival Susannah.
Asked if she thought many other Mormons were voting for Rebecca because of her religious background, Ms Dent said: “I’m not sure because there are a lot of people in the church who are against the show.”
Other people getting behind Rebecca include Anyone With A Soul Who Saw Her Crying In The Diary Room About Feeling Less Than Zero Thanks To The Bitchy Ways Of People Like Emma, and the Australasian School Camp Games Enthusiasts. More » 
Paris Hilton Update! Thirty Minutes In And She’s Doing Very Well.
3:35PM Jess McGuire | Should we be expecting Paris Hilton state of mind updates constantly now that she’s finally checked into jail for her 23 days of punishment introspection and contemplation? It seems to us that she’s only just walked through the barred doors – surely we should wait at least a couple of days before checking in on her emotions? She’ll probably be out before Lindsay Lohan finishes her stint in rehab, after all.
Nonetheless, those at home going out of their mind with worry* will be relieved to read the following.
US socialite Paris Hilton has begun serving her Los Angeles jail sentence for violating probation, her lawyer said. “She’s doing very well under the circumstances,” Richard A Hutton told People today. “The staff here have reported that she has been gracious, polite, and thankful for helping her.”
And she’s going to grow from this too, we can feel it.
Hilton was quoted as saying: “Although I am scared, I am ready to begin my jail sentence.”
“I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation. During the past few weeks I have had a lot of time to think and have come to realise I made some mistakes,†Hilton said.
“This is an important point in my life and I need to take responsibility for my actions. In the future, I plan on taking more of an active role in the decisions I make. I want to thank my family, friends and fans for their continued support.”
We suspect she’s not referring to you, Candy ‘Big Fan Of The Open Letter‘ Spelling.
* These people do exist, you know. We received a text from a dear chum this morning which said “I can’t believe I’ve woken up this morning and Paris Hilton’s in jail… it just feels so surreal; like something’s off-kilter with the world. Sorry, just needed to connect. Sometimes it’s easier to get through these things together.” WE SUSPECT YOU ARE BEING SLIGHTLY TONGUE IN CHEEK, MS FITS. More » 
Pamela Anderson Fulfills Life-Long Dream Of Being A Magician’s Assistant
3:28PM Jess McGuire | Inspiring!
US actress Pamela Anderson is to fulfil a dream by becoming a magician’s assistant starring in a show at at Las Vegas casino, organisers say.
“I love magic. I love doing things out of the ordinary and of course I’m always up for an adventure, as this will definitely be one,” Anderson said in a statement issued by the company Stage Entertainment.
We are thrilled for Pamela, but unsurprised about this slight change in career. After all, she has a history of making things disappear and then reappear again (namely breast implants), and she’s an first class sword swallower.
“Audiences are going to be amazed when they see what she can do in our show,” said Dutch magician Hans Klok of Anderson’s starring role in his show.
And by that, he means ‘tits’. More » YouTube Clip Of The Day
2:41PM Jess McGuire | We’ve shamelessly lifted this from the almighty PopJustice because it was just too, too good. As far as video clips go, it is perfect and cheesy and cheap-looking and we plan on recreating it with our friends repeatedly (until all involved get bored and move onto the next YouTube fad).
