YouTube Clip Of The Day II

3:38PM Jess McGuire | What’s that? You want to watch more videos featuring my future husband? Oh, what the hell. It’s Friday. Let’s cut loose. Here is is being adorable with children, and also – without beard! See the handsome Greek god underneath the fuzz? Not that I care how he wears his beard. The important thing is, we end up happy and raising healthy children on our farm in the foothills of North Carolina. Please note: since I started ranting about Zach on Facebook, literally A COUPLE of my lady friends have tried to steal him away from me. If you try and touch him, I will pummel you to death with the nearest available item. Which, at the moment, looks to be a giant value pack of women’s multi-vitamins. When did I buy these?! Where am I?! Who took my pants?! More »

Hot Model Has Potential To Be A Hot Model

1:10PM Jess McGuire | If you try and tell me that Chadwick manager Martin Walsh’s proclamation that Make Me A Supermodel contestant Shanina is attractive is akin to him pointing out that the sky is blue or the sun is hot, I’ll slap you in the face and tell you to stop being such a smarty pants. Because this is Defamer Australia, damn it, so we’ve all got to pretend to care about the godforsaken show even though we all know it’s a half-arsed version of Australia’s Next Top Model. We’re just going to have to make the best of the next few minutes/paragraphs and learn the latest make Me A Supermodel gossip before toddling off to find something more interesting to focus on. Okay? Okay (Martin Walsh) believes there is one model in the field who could very well live up to the title – even putting her in the same category as top model Miranda Kerr. “Shanina has got a great body, a look that would work for lingerie, swimwear and on the catwalk, she’s got it all,” he said. What a relief! Although he’s not flattering when it comes to all the contestants… More »

Boyzone Versus Rihanna’s Entourage

11:27AM Jess McGuire | Oh fantastic, I get to talk about Boyzone again! Why? Because the lads are getting into fisticuffs with rival celebrity gangs, that’s why. Apparently the Irish crooners got “all up” in the grill of pop star Rihanna’s entourage in Sydney recently, and their behaviour led to them copping a stern telling off from security. Pop princess Rihanna’s band got into a drunken brawl with reformed nineties boy band, Boyzone, when they were in Sydney. The reformed Boyzone – Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch and Stephen Gately – were in a nightclub during their national promotional visit when they met the superstar’s band.

Australia Zoo’s Crocodiles Sure Contain Some Interesting Things!

9:39AM Jess McGuire | I don’t really need to think about crocodiles much as I go about my day. There’s very little chance of me running into one on the way to the tram stop, and I am blessed enough to be able to leave my front door open all night long with no fear of a giant saltwater beast swaggering inside and eating me and/or my dog. But I’m one of the lucky ones in this great big country of ours. For some people in Queensland, crocs are constantly on their mind. They’re something that must be dealt with on a daily basis, and letting ones guard down for even a moment could have disastrous consequences. Naturally, the Queensland Government have many thoughts on crocodiles too, and at the moment the main concern is the fact they’re eating people and coughing bits up. Or having foreign things discovered inside them. Or something. Either way, it’s not good! The Queensland Opposition has called for an inquiry into the government’s crocodile management policy, after anonymous claims it has led to the deaths of two men. More »

Tina Fey Suggests That Defamer Has Some Issues

8:37AM Kyle Buchanan | Few things made us laugh harder than Tina Fey’s devastatingly precise Sarah Palin send-ups on Saturday Night Live this season (or the fact that the quote that will be attributed to the candidate for all time, “I can see Russia from my house,” was said not by Palin but by Fey). Still, as the hardest working woman in comedy was repeatedly spirited away from her 30 Rock duties, we grew worried for her — after all, she has a show, a kid, a book, an Emmy, an upcoming Steve Carell romcom… couldn’t Lorne Michaels let the woman rest? We voiced our concerns after the SNL sketch where Fey appeared with the actual John McCain (her sixth appearance on the show this season), and now Fey is telling EW that she took our words to heart: More »

BLIND ITEM! Which Australian Celebrity Sent This Furious Email To A Newspaper Columnist?

8:21AM Jess McGuire | It’s never nice hearing that someone doesn’t like you. Personally, it tears me up inside when I’m told I’m a useless, talentless fool whose existence does nothing to better the world, which leads me to wonder why I even bother going to visit my grandmother if she’s just going to get drunk and berate me*. Well, there’s someone else out there in Australian Showbiz Land who doesn’t enjoy being made fun of, and after reading a newspaper column where they were labelled an “insufferable twit”, they sent a thoroughly cutting email to the columnist in question. The correspondence starts with a polite “Hi” (a lady never forgets her manners, even if she’s about to accuse a foe of sticking vegetables up their clacker) but quickly launches into something more… something glorious. Are you ready to revel in three sentences of conservative woman fury? More »

YouTube Clip Of The Day

7:47AM Jess McGuire | Zach Galifianakis (I can type that now without double checking the spelling – I suppose practicing my “Jessica Anne Galifianakis” signature all night has actually paid off!) appreciation continues here at Defamer Australia. Enjoy the bearded wonder taunting Michael Cera, would you? Good. More »

Paramount Readies its Snipers as ‘Button,’ ‘Revolutionary Road’ Reviews Trickle Out

7:30AM STV | It had to happen: Whispers are speeding out of previews of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road, leaving Paramount behind a breached embargo wall and knee-deep in mixed buzz for the former and generally glowing praise for the latter. Surely the studio’s shrieking winged attack flacks are sniffing the most direct trail to the leakers’ (mostly anonymous) domains, so make their sacrifices worth it! Hear the early word after the jump.

Aniston On ‘Oprah’ 2: The Uncooling

7:00AM Seth | At last, after having nothing but a meager pile of magazine clippings and hearsay to rely upon throughout this entire ordeal, we have Jennifer Aniston in the flesh to set us straight on what Angelina Jolie’s adoptive people have already dubbed L’affair uncool. On trusted confidante (who doesn’t mind spilling your private business on America’s TVs for her own ratings gain) Oprah Winfrey’s show today, the host hoisted a Post-It-littered Vogue bearing the five words heard round the world. It was a coverline so powerful, it managed to push Obama off the front page of the NY Times, who instead ran a 30-pt headline that read, “Amid a Climate Hope, Tensions Between Warring Starlets Flare.” In her trademark stammer, the former Friends star it admits she indeed said, “What Angelina did was very uncool,” but it was just one of many responses she answered “as honestly as I could. I don’t go there. I mean, it’s 100 years old, for Christ’s sake.” If ever we wanted a girl to go, it was Aniston, at that moment. [Oprah] More »

Steve Carell’s Touching Story of Fatherhood Reduced to Cheap Penis Joke

6:20AM STV | Steve Carell brought along his family photo album during a visit to Ellen earlier today, treating the studio audience to robust hints of the domestic heaven that is the Carell household. Among the fun: Bathtime with young son John, with whom the comic enjoys a bit of bonding over toy sharks. At least we thought they were toys until Ellen and her filthy-minded crowd went and sullied our soft-focus image, like a Hallmark card torched by a cadre of arsonists. Next thing you know, they’ll be snickering at Carell’s Beaver. Forshame! [Ellen] More »
