This Is Without A Doubt The Most Heartbreaking Showbiz-Related Wikipedia Entry Ever
1:11PM Jess McGuire | We’ve been on a mad search this afternoon for interweb evidence proving the existence of E Street character “Dog Boy Dylan” (remember the kid who was raised under the house and fed like a dog? REMEMBER? Genius!) after enjoying a walk down Westside’s memory lane with a friend this morning, and ended up stumbling across Marcus Graham’s Wikipedia entry.
This is all it says.
Marcus GrahamFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcus Graham (born 11 October 1963) is an actor from Perth, Australia, who has starred in several films, including Mulholland Drive and Josh Jarman. He has been known as a teenage heartthrob in late 80s whilst starring in Australian TV soap “E street”. He was going out with Nicole Kidman but he found out the relationship was not longer working when Nicole came to visit him in Melbourne with Tom Cruise after filming “The days of thunder” in the States. His flatmate told her Graham is not in when he actually was at home crying.
Poor Marcus :(
As we are MySpazz friends, we will post a comforting glittery animated GIF on his profile page. That’ll cheer the bugger up.
LOVE YOU FOREVER WHEELS! More » 
Blogger’s Ranting And Rambling Comes Back To Bite Their Political Career
9:36AM Jess McGuire | Victorian blogger Hamish Jones made the news this morning after he was forced to stand down as the Liberal candidate for Maribyrnong following the revelation he’d said some rather unflattering things about Labor’s Lynne Kosky on his now-deleted blog Ranting And Rambling.
A Liberal candidate for this year’s federal election has been forced to stand down after describing Victorian Transport Minister Lynne Kosky as a “bitch” and “f—wit” on his blog. Hamish Jones, 24, was the Liberal candidate for the safe Labor seat of Maribyrnong, where he was pitted against ALP heavyweight Bill Shorten.
But Mr Jones quit after it emerged that he had abused Ms Kosky in his blog, Ranting and Rambling, in April. He was responding to an email Ms Kosky had sent to her state colleagues, saying that they should not refer their constituents’ complaints about public transport to her. Instead, she advised them to go directly to the private operators of the public transport system or the ombudsman.
When the blog remarks were brought to the attention of state Liberal director Julian Sheezel, he immediately told Mr Jones such comments were unacceptable, leaving him no option but to quit. The blog last night appeared to have been taken down.
Mr Sheezel told The Age last night: “Hamish Jones had a blog which contained inappropriate and unacceptable material. His candidacy was untenable.”
If using the term “fuckwit” in an idiotic online rant against someone with a different political ideology makes ones candidacy in an election “untenable”, then our future political career is fucking cunted.
Well, unless we join the Labor Party.
(Here’s Google’s cache of Ranting And Rambling which contains the controversial post in question – scroll down to April 12th) More » Meldrum Regretful Of Many Things, Thankfully Calling Kyle Sandilands ‘Fat And Untalented’ In A Drunken Rant Not One Them.
7:51AM Jess McGuire | Molly’s ditching the drink!
Music guru Ian “Molly” Meldrum has quit drinking after a series of painful and provocative incidents, including an on-air drunken spat with shock jock Kyle Sandilands.
“I am on the wagon – absolutely,” Meldrum, 61, told The Sunday Telegraph.
“I want to focus.”
Meldrum’s decision follows the deaths of close friends and performers Billy Thorpe, Lobby Lloyd and Lynne Randell, a former pop star who became his personal assistant.
We support you wholeheartedly in this endeavour, Molly. Giving up ones vices can be a difficult thing, we know.
(glares at smokers)
Let’s remember the good times.
While overseas to mourn Randell, 57, Meldrum had a drunken spat with radio star Kyle Sandilands. “You have no talent and you’re fat,” Meldrum said live on air last month. “Why don’t you get off television? Your advice on Australian Idol means sweet jack shit.”
We hope you are all standing and applauding right now.
Meldrum also said Sandilands should learn to take his own medicine. “Kyle is always accusing people of being fat, and this and that, and I thought: ‘Who is he to be making these calls?’ ,” Meldrum said “And away it went from there. It wasn’t the right thing to say, but Kyle is a shock jock. He lays it on everyone else. If it had been anyone else, I’d feel terrible, but with Kyle … if you give it, you can take it.”
Word, Molly. More » Blind Item For The Day (Part II)
7:39AM Jess McGuire | Which successful television show, which pretty much depends on the “mad skills” of its weekly guests, is rather tight when it comes to ensuring aforementioned guests are lovingly taken care of during their stint on the program?
According to an inside source, the show films on Tuesday and Thursday. If you fly down from interstate to do your thing, you are put up in a hotel by the production on the Tuesday night and the Thursday night, but not Wednesday – because your day off is your problem and you’ll need to make your own arrangements…
Do we believe it? Possibly. Of course, these thrifty ways may be the reason the people behind the program are so successful in a rather cutthroat industry in the first place. More » Blind Item For The Day (Part I)
7:36AM Jess McGuire | Remember this story about Deborah Hutton?
A Sydney Sunday gossip item alleged Hutton had broken off a lesbian relationship with her live-in partner of seven years, gold medal-winning hockey player Danni Roche, saying the top-rating TV star had moved on to a relationship with an equally “high-profile television personality”.
We’ve just been tipped off as to the identity of the mysterious “high profile television personality”.
However, as we are not in the habit of blatantly outing people – we hope the ladies will do it themselves as they make a charming couple – we won’t name names. Even though some would consider this story rather newsworthy.
C’mon, girls. You make a hot pair! Say it loud, say it proud!
PS: IT’S NOT SULLY. Which makes us a bit sad as we had high hopes for her being the poster child for Sapphic love.
UPDATE You cheeky wags! Your comments and suggestions as to the mystery woman are hilarious and in some cases completely correct. They’re also likely to cause problems “legally” so we cannot publish them.

6:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Continuing its award-winning series of segments on recent Britney Spears hit-and-run victims (both sexual and vehicular), Access Hollywood spotlights a CelebTV.com interview with the poor woman whose Mercedes was damaged when Spears decided to show off her parking skills to the throng of paparazzi waiting to assail her on a routine Petco run. She’s clearly not as excited about her brush with Spears as the guy who had his fender bent in the Standard’s hot tub, but maybe that’s because she only got a glimpse of Spears’ overexposed ladyflower instead of the little seen, intricately tattooed breasts she only flashes in more intimate settings.
