YouTube Clip Of The Day
12:59PM Jess McGuire | My computer is now having fits which leave me unable to view YouTube clips, so I am having to rely on the kindness of strangers (and the odd friend) to send me amusing videos which I will then attempt to publish using a laptop akin to a brick superglued to a broken monitor found on the kerbside during the local council’s last hard rubbish.
I haven’t seen this one myself, but it was on Cute Overload (a good sign) and my friend Dave The Scot nearly cried with laughter when trying to tell me about it last night.
I hope you all enjoyed the adventures of the dog and the duck. I am jealous of you. More » 
Lindsay Lohan And Samantha Ronson Seem Happy, Don’t They?
11:40AM Jess McGuire | Folks have been speculating that things are not well in the Lohan-Ronson relationship lately as Lindsay hasn’t been spotted next to Samantha in public for, oh, three or four days now.
Once again, Lindsay has turned to MySpazz to put the rumours to rest, but rather than blogging her feelings (her traditional method of informing journalists of what’s really happening in her life), she’s just uploaded a stack of photos to an album called miscellaneous photos-november :) (girlfriend loves emoticons) and Samantha features a couple of times. And Lindsay calls her “my girl”, bless her.
I love them more than I should.

10:46AM Jess McGuire | Congratulations to Australian Idol winner Wes Carr for scoring the #3 position in this week’s ARIA Singles chat. He’s trailing behind Lady Gaga and Kings Of Leon (damn you, Spano, for making that song so popular!) but when you consider how many naysayers have been thinking of the Idol franchise as a creature on life support, it’s really not a bad start to his brand new Sony-BMG sponsored career.
(Wes Carr) hit No. 3 in the ARIA singles charts yesterday with You, behind Lady GaGa’s chart-topper Poker Face and Kings of Leon’s Sex On Fire, which have both been in the upper echelons of the top 50 for more than two months.

Egregious Lack Of Banana-Stuffed Tailpipes Hurts Leaked ‘Beverly Hills Cop 4′ Draft
9:56AM STV | We’re not sure which of Elizabeth Kübler-Ross’s five stages of grief we’ve hit in our consideration of Beverly Hills Cop 4. Denial and anger seem ages ago, as does bargaining. And a script review appearing online today has us skipping depression altogether for what we suppose is something akin to acceptance — if you call “believing there is actually a studio cynical enough to greenlight this with Brett Ratner behind the camera” acceptance, or if that just throws us back to the beginning again. Help us sort it out, will you? More »Radio Is A Potentially Deadly Line Of Work…
9:43AM Jess McGuire | Having spent a little bit of time behind a microphone myself, I can personally vouch for the fact that many radio hosts spend their time on air legitimately fearing for their lives. I remember the time I played a 12 minute extended remix of Meat Loaf’s ‘I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That) and refused to leave the building for the next 12 hours lest an irate RRR listener, worked up by the Jim Steinman madness I’d inflicted upon their ears, glassed me outside the studio.
And it seems I’m not the only broadcaster in the country scared of being murdered on air – apparently there are some successful folk on the wireless (I’m talking about men and women who have an audience of more than ten people) who feel terrified too!
Which radio star refuses to broadcast from a studio with windows, for fear he’ll be shot by a sniper? The high-profile presenter’s paranoia was revealed by rivals when ABC Evenings’ Andrew Daddo was casually handing over to Nightlife host Tony Delroy.
An aside – there are Daddos working for ABC Local Radio? I love it! More » 
Hey Fellas! Dannii Minogue Is Available Once More!
8:30AM Jess McGuire | Exciting news for red blooded heterosexual fellows/gay men willing to muster one up for an icon/strippers named Jupiter, for the youngest of the Minogue sisters is once again on the market after splitting with her latest lover, a youthful rugby league player.
Capping off a week full of drama, complete with fresh criticisms from Sharon Osborne and continued speculation that her X Factor contract will not be renewed, Dannii Minogue has now reportedly broken up with her boyfriend.

8:15AM Seth | Courting Controversy. When the question is, “How long is long enough before it isn’t considered too insensitive to present the side-by-side you’ve been dying to post since William Balfour was first identified as a person of interest in the nightmarish Jennifer Hudson family killings?” we’re afraid the answer is, “There exists no sufficient length of time.” With news that Hudson’s estranged brother-in-law was finally arrested today, however, we could resist no longer.

Is Candy Spelling HuffPo’s Most Useless Celebrity Columnist?
7:48AM Kyle Buchanan | Back when Arianna Huffington founded the Huffington Post, she promised a blogging free-for-all where Washington D.C.’s best and brightest would rub virtual shoulders with megawatt Hollywood movie stars. Three years later, the site’s political promise has been fulfilled, but HuffPo can boast little in the way of celebrities aside from ponderings written by the other brother on Wings, pre-emptive “I Didn’t Do the Nanny” missives from Rob Lowe, and the occasional drop-in by Charlotte’s husband from Sex and the City. And then, for some reason, there is Candy Spelling. More »
7:45AM Kyle Buchanan | Holding Out for a Hero: Sure, Transporter 3 features a scene where Jason Statham takes off his clothes so he can hit bad guys with his shirt, but is that gay? Yes! says series mastermind Louis Letterier. “If you watch the movie and you know he’s gay, it becomes so much more fun,” Leterrier told the LAT. “Action fans in general are pretty homophobic. You see these tough guys who say, ‘The Transporter, that’s such a great movie!’ If they only knew they’re really cheering for a new kind of action hero.” Sadly, Letterier handed off the Transporter 3 reins to the amazingly named Olivier Megaton, who added a very heterosexual make-out scene for Statham. “Haha, I haven’t seen it,” Letterier said in response. “I can’t wait.” [LAT] More »
