YouTube Clip Of The Day
3:47PM Jess McGuire | Good news! The laptop has resumed playing YouTube clips!
BETTER NEWS – THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!
This makes me wish someone was filming the Big Brother finale of 2005 when Lefty Tim lost to the fucking Logans. It would have been remarkably similar! More » 
Make Me A Supermodel Contestants Find Love; The Queue For People Who Hate When Unreasonably Attractive Young Folk Find Happiness In Each Other’s Arms Starts Here
2:38PM Jess McGuire | Fling the rose petals! Dim the lights/conversation! Because two spunky types from Make Me A Supermodel are giving romance a red hot go. Yes, Shanina and Tom are now officially a couple, with the only thing that had been holding back their love – Tom’s pesky original girlfriend – happily discarded like Todd McKenney’s trousers at a happening shindig.
She might not have won Make Me a Supermodel, but the show has brought runner-up Shanina Shaik love. The Hoppers Crossing teen’s TV flirtation with fellow contestant Tom Penfold has blossomed now that the pair is away from the cameras.
She confirmed yesterday she and Penfold, who shared stolen kisses on the Channel 7 model search despite Penfold having a girlfriend, were an item.
“You could say it’s official between us, but it’s still new,” she said. “Tom and his ex-girlfriend are not together any more. They both decided it was for the best (they split).”
Yes, I suppose Tom’s girlfriend may have felt that the fact her lover was spending his days ramming his tongue down the throat of another model while being filmed for a nationally televised reality show was an indication the relationship was not going to last forever. Best to move on, then.
And guess who the two lovebirds have been hanging out with? More » 
Defamer Australia Versus Australian Idol Winner Wes Carr
12:44PM Jess McGuire | I don’t know how I pulled it off, but I managed to trick the good folk from Sony BMG into letting me interview Wes Carr today. He was a very nice young man, and we talked about loads of things including religion, Ben Gillies, Ricki-Lee’s love life, and other stuff I can’t be bothered remembering because you’ll find out soon enough.
I’ve transcribed the first part of my interview for you (you’ll have to wait for the rest, I’m afraid. I’m a woman on the go! Time is valuable! I really need some sort of work experience kid to treat as a slave, then I could force them to sit down with a recording of an interview and write out the scintillating conversation…) and you can read it after the jump.

11:48AM Jess McGuire | Reader and Melbourne photographer Tim Chuma was kind enough to email me after the Queenscliff Music Festival over the weekend.
Here’s Guy Pearce at the Queenscliff Music Festival. He played a gig with the Unconscious Brothers, Rebecca Barnard, Geoff Achison and Josh Owen.
And look at Guy go!
Very nice. He’s looking good, isn’t he?
Tim takes a lot of photos at assorted gigs around town – his website is linked below if you’d like to take a look. And remember, if you’ve photographed a celebrity rockin’ out, feel free to send us snaps!

10:08AM Jess McGuire | I am interviewing him in LITERALLY A FEW MINUTES TIME.
If there’s anything you ever wanted to ask him, comment below and if it’s not incredibly offensive, I’ll take your query to the great man himself.
Quickly, then! Let’s go! More » Triple M Poach Roy And HG From The National Broadcaster
9:16AM Jess McGuire | Roy and HG have been ABC fixtures for over two decades, but a money flinging Austereo, no doubt attempting to rebuild itself with fresh talent after a disappointing couple of years ratings wise, has finally convinced the comic duo to jump ship.
HG Nelson and Roy Slaven have defected to commercial radio after 22 years at Triple J amid claims from the ABC youth network that the pair has sold out.
Triple M has wooed the larrikins, although the station was on the back foot yesterday after Triple J issued a statement about their departure.

Facebook Haters Have Turned On Nicole Kidman!
8:09AM Jess McGuire | Journalist Fiona Connolly recently used column inches in the Daily Telegraph to alert readers to an extremely concerning issue – people on Facebook dislike Nicole Kidman. In fact, they loathe Our Nic TM enough to actually start spiteful groups which cruelly mock Nicole, her forehead, and her acting ability! It seems too horrible to be true, I understand. But our intrepid reporter has investigated the issue thoroughly and reached the only conclusion a decent and upstanding citizen possibly could…. Facebook is full of evildoers.
From the expose:
Someone I know suggested I join the Facebook group, “Am I Taking Crazy Pills or is Nicole Kidman the Worst Actress in the World?” I don’t know why. I am completely indifferent as to whether Kidman’s acting skills are bad, very bad or indeed the worst in the world. And I don’t know what a crazy pill is supposed to be.
I think they are probably talking about ecstasy. Facebook users gulp these crazy pills by the fistful, as apparently they make the process of poking friends and strangers more pleasurable. Disgusting, I know.
Ms Connolly continues:
But I was not entirely surprised it existed – Facebookers are inherently unpleasant and Kidman has always polarised people.
Wahey! Hello there, sweeping statement! Facebookers are inherently unpleasant? Tell that to Dannii Minogue! She’s probably right though – other than the homosexuals (and yours truly) who make up People For The Ethical Treatment Of Dannii Minogue, the social networking hell that is Facebook is pretty much made up of the most vicious and cruel bitches to ever walk the earth, sit down in front of a computer, and send a virtual plant to an associate using the (Lil) Green Patch application.

7:57AM STV | Down Under Over the Moon: Variety’s panic piece yesterday about Australia’s underachievement at home drew a typically polite letter of dissent from an Aussie exhibitor. “I just wanted to say that as a regional independent with three prints of Australia between our two locations, we’re over the moon with the results on the film,” wrote It’s comfortably the largest opening week numbers we’ve seen in several years outside of school holiday periods, and word of mouth is stellar,” said cinema proprietor Peter Howard. OK, great! Can we pleeeeease have our sad ending now, Fox? [Variety] More »
Advice Guru Tracy Morgan Reveals the Limitations of Your Dreams – To the Inch
7:50AM STV | Sure, Tracy Morgan might barely be the fourth-tier mascot for plugging 30 Rock, but put yourself in NBC’s shoes while watching his haphazard run through reader-submitted questions at the network’s Web site: If Tina Fey is teetering at the cusp of overexposure, Alec Baldwin is flaking on the Washington Post’s own readers, and Jane Krakowski remains shellshocked from her time in Rosie O’Donnell’s product-placement infantry, then who else is there? “President Obama of the Crayons” just wouldn’t sound the same from Jack McBrayer. Or maybe it’s just that there is such a thing as a stupid question. Find out either/or/both after the jump. More »
