RRR Radiothon Tonight
2:51PM Jess McGuire | More pop cultural stuff coming shortly, but we’d like to give you the heads up about tonight’s RRR Radiothonfest.
Defamer Australia, in the guise of an idiot named Jess, will be gently urging all Melbourne readers (and interstate streamers) to ring up and support community radio from midnight onwards. There are a couple of surprise acts coming in too, so that’s nice.
It’s worth tuning in simply to hear Dan Kelly’s amazing pisstake John Butler dedication to the show.

Lindsay Lohan Sued By Her High-Speed-Chase Quarry
8:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Part-time actress and luxury rehabilitation facility quality-control inspector Lindsay Lohan, you may recall, was recently involved in a high-speed chase through Santa Monica that ended with a DUI arrest, accusations of hostage-taking, and considerable confusion as to the owner of the coke-pants that the troubled starlet was wearing at the time. As if the Denali Three’s Today show testimony about that evening’s events weren’t terrifying enough, a lawsuit filed by a passenger in the car Lohan was pursuing has now added details unmentioned by the trio of still-traumatised captives. From TMZ: According to the suit, Tracie Rice was in the SUV driven by Michelle Peck, the mother of LiLo’s former assistant. Rice says she “was convinced that their lives were in danger and that they had to outrun the pursuing car or they might be killed.” More »
Britney’s Bodyguard Latest Ambush Victim Of K-Fed Subpoena Spree
8:30AM Defamer Hollywood | In their ongoing efforts to elicit sworn statements from the innermost elements of Britney Spears’s entourage, K-Fed’s lawyers have now followed up their subpoena of assistant Alli Sims – who for the past two days has been spotted around town waving a pair of tightly clenched fists and insisting to bewildered passersby how she “still hasn’t touched it!” – with one served last night to her Director of Fumbled-Baby-Catching Services. From the People.com report: Britney Spears’s bodyguard, Daimon Shippen, was served with a deposition subpoena related to the singer’s ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

Sceptics Believe Paris Hilton Might Not Be Scheduling Her Own Well-Publicised Charity Appearances
8:15AM Defamer Hollywood | Believe it or not, there are people in the world so miserly of spirit that they refuse to believe that Paris Hilton’s jailhouse conversion from tabloid monster that drew its superhuman, fame-whoring strength from the flickering light of paparazzi flashbulbs to a God-fearing, puppy cuddling, cancer-kid-hair-tousling saint may be less than genuine. Today’s Page Six examines the theory that the sudden dearth of video footage of Hilton being dragged from her ankles from Hyde’s back door and deposited in the trunk of a waiting Bentley is due to Sitrick & Company coming into her life, the crisis management firm she’s retained to scrub up her post-Lynwood image: “You can tell that it’s hard for her that she is not supposed to be seeking the attention anymore,” said one Hilton lensman. “She is going to the types of events that her people tell her to go to. But she is definitely staying away from the club scene. Paris is all about her dogs and hanging out alone.” More »
Michael Jackson Sued For For Failing To Rock With Bahraini Prince All Night
8:00AM Defamer Hollywood | As Michael Jackson seeks the perfect patch of Virginia real estate upon which to mount his dream theme-park residence, Colonial Neverlandsburg, his recent past has already come back to haunt him: The Bahraini Prince who sponsored Jackson during his gender-confused time living in the Middle East is now suing Jackson. From Fox411: Prince Abdullah graciously took Jackson and his family in after the 2005 child-molestation trial. He housed him, fed him, chauffeured him and even imported Jacko’s friends to Bahrain for a special Christmas in 2005. More »
Uwe Boll Now Pummelling Critics With Nasty E-Mail Instead Of Fists
7:55AM Defamer Hollywood | Uwe Boll, Hollywood’s go-to director when a studio absolutely, positively needs a video game adapted into a terrible movie that may one day show a profit in the home video market, is among the last of a dying breed of macho filmmakers who are utterly unafraid to fucking fight you if you write a review that displeases them. (Taking out a retaliatory full-page ad in Variety is, as you might guess, the pussified last refuge of the coward.) Upon reading Wired’s negative assessment of Postal, Boll’s latest contribution to the cinematic canon, he dashed off this love note to Chris Kohler, the piece’s author: chris your review shows me only that you dont understand anything about movies and that you are a untalented wanna bee filmmaker with no balls and no understanding what POSTAL is. you dont see courage because you are nothing. and no go to your mum and fuck her …because she cooks for you now since 30 years ..so she deserves it.

AOL Teen Reminds America’s Unattractive Youth To Reach For The Stars
7:50AM Defamer Hollywood | We weren’t familiar with Red, what appears to be AOL Teen’s rebranding attempt at capturing the Zac Efron-obsessed segment of the online market. Now that we have sampled their content, however – in the form of their lovingly compiled slideshow, “Red’s 20 Ugliest Celebrities” – we have never felt more confident that the online megacorp is doing all they can to teach their readers some valuable life lessons about how even the most hotness-challenged among them can go on to great, celebrity-related things. And who better to demonstrate that fact than background Hilton sister Nicky, who has never once allowed her physical shortcomings to discourage her various fashion and hotel industry aspirations?

Own A Pool Cue Just Like The One Used To Rape And Kill Gay Vito!
7:45AM Defamer Hollywood | With his role on the most important TV drama in the history of the medium wrapped and nothing to look forward to but months of frustrating phonecalls in which his agents begs him to do “just one more leather daddy mobster part, for old time’s sake. Ya gotta eat!,” one can hardly blame former Sopranos star Joseph “Gay Vito” Gannascoli for trying to pick up some money on the side by capitalising on his iconic character. GLAAD, however, isn’t too happy about a product he’s chosen to endorse: the “Cue To Die For” pool stick, a must-have memento for any fan who wants to relive Vito’s fatal bludgeoning and sodomy each time he chalks up before a tough shot. Reports TV Week: “GLAAD is calling on Rockwell Billiards and Gannascoli to remove the name, ‘A Cue to Die For,’ from this product immediately and apologise for using such a vulgar symbol of violence and anti-gay bigotry to make a profit,” read the GLADD statement.
