MySpacePartyTeenWhoCannotBeNamedForLegalReasonsWatch: Oh God, We’re Starting To Admire His Chutzpah
3:46PM Jess McGuire | This morning we thought [REDACTED], the youthful organiser of a knees up so impressive it’s put Narre Warren on the international party map, was a complete and utter moron. But the more we follow the story (yes, it’s become our afternoon obsession), the more we find ourselves almost… well, almost enjoying his total lack of remorse. As commenter Adrian pointed out in a previous post, you couldn’t script him. He is so obnoxious and so without care regarding others around him, he’s like a parody of a teenage boy. Harry Enfield couldn’t top his performance on A Current Affair!
And check out his MySpazz page.
The kid is using a screenshot of his appearance on National Nine News as his profile picture! He’s stuck the YouTube footage of the infamous ACA interview on the page!
We’re almost tempted to join the Facebook appreciation group. More » 
Spotted! Australia’s Dumbest Teenage Party Organiser’s Famous Glasses At Frankston McDonalds!
3:29PM Jess McGuire | Following on from today’s earlier story about [REDACTED], the unrepentant 16 year old who threw an epic party (with epic consequences), it seems his decision to be sartorially flamboyant was a wise one, with the Narre Warren shindig guru now being immediately recognisable to fans - and detractors.
Says commenter Claire -
I just saw this idiot in Frankston McDonalds with his friends. Still wearing the stupid sunglasses and hat, and acting like a rockstar! What a tool!
He’s allowed out for a Maccas run? Still donning his ACA garb? Kids these days, etc. Nevertheless, if he insists on wandering around town decked out in his ridiculous garb, we daresay [REDACTED]-spotting may end up a new sport in Melbourne. And we may just get him to organise our first birthday celebration in April since the dude obviously knows how to throw a wicked bash.
UPDATE! [REDACTED]’s missing?
A Melbourne teenager who hosted a raucous party on Saturday night has made world headlines after 500 guests turned up and police mobilised a dog squad unit, an incident response team and a helicopter to try and quell the celebration.
The teenager boy’s parents, meanwhile, have arrived home — but there is no sign of their son at their Narre Warren property.
Two uniform police arrived at the house at 2.15pm and left about 30 minutes later. They made no comment.
We think not. CHECK THE FAST FOOD OUTLETS, OFFICERS. More » 
Australian Local Content Makers The Only People Thrilled By The Writer’s Strike
2:35PM Clem Bastow | While Hollywood continues to gnash its teeth through the Writer’s Strike, and favoured dramas, comedies and chat shows go silent without scripts, it seems the Strike is bringing about some goodness - for the Australian television industry.
Media boffins predict that because there are less new episodes of favoured US shows to buy, but networks will still be charging the same amount for advertising - even if repeats are being shown - the local networks could be left with money to burn, which would hopefully be spent on commissioning local content. In fact, that looks highly likely already.
Tim Worner, programming head for ratings leader the Seven Network, agreed that a repeats overkill could be dangerous.
“We have to be careful - with some shows, you’re starting to see their bum through their pants,” he said.
Mr Worner said Seven devised a plan last October to prepare for the worst. “The essence was turning a problem into an opportunity.” That plan included holding back US programming that could have run during the summer, and expanding and extending Australian production.
Other networks have also made contingency plans. Nine Network’s programming boss Michael Healy said the network had decided to make more local programs: “There are shows we have already commissioned because of the writers’ strike.”
Ten Network’s programming head David Mott is also in commissioning mode, with the network to reveal more local shows “within the next week”.
This is all well and good, provided said proposed local content doesn’t feature a) Hotdogs or b) Kyle Sandilands. Which, given the recent run of new Australian television, is probably almost guaranteed.
Who knew there’d ever be a time when we pined for repeats of Just Shoot Me! and The Nanny? More » 
Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Lookin’ Classy ‘N’ Shit
1:40PM Clem Bastow | So we’ve finally been allowed to peek beneath the washerwoman’s scarf that Amy Winehouse has been accessorising her new blonde barnet with, and boy, isn’t it a great look?
As the Mail (and the Sun, and the Mirror…) notes, Winegums is looking less soul diva and more like she’s gunning for a role in Michael Winterbottom’s big-screen adaptation of the tale of Fast Forward’s Michelle and Ferrett.
However, we were very taken with the photo (in the Mail) of Winegums meeting up with pal Kelly Osbourne, and in particular, the reaction expression on the face of Ms Osbourne’s pug, which is looking at Winegums’ head. Here it is, for your enjoyment:

“O.chunk” Dating Aussie Starlet
1:27PM Clem Bastow | We were somewhat puzzled, and then amused, this morning when we were trying to work out who “O.Chunk” might be - when we clicked the link, we realised that News Ltd’s exemplary online subediting work was trying to tell us it was “O.C. hunk” Adam Brody - and, wouldn’t you know it, he’s putting it in some Aussie starlet we’d struggle to name in a police line-up!
Yes, he’s dating Teresa Palmer, his co-star in the 2manySuperheroes flick, Justice League Of America.
Who knew the formerly nerdy Seth Cohen had it in him, eh?
While she’s set to kill his character, Wall West aka The Flash, in the superhero blockbuster, it was all sweet lovin’ for the off-screen couple, who held hands and cuddled up over dinner at Lotus restaurant in Potts Point on Saturday night.
Onlookers who contacted Confidential yesterday were stunned to see the celebrity duo, who sat in a party of six, going largely unnoticed for the duration of their meal.
It’s not the first time Brody’s been all over an Aussie girl; last year he was spotted making out with hot ranga model Tiah Eckhardt on the grass at an AIDS fundraiser.
So there you have it: charitable aspiring actresses of Australia, YOU could be next to feel the seed of Brody! More » 
We Are Mildly Concerned About The Current State Of Natalie Gauci’s Career
1:25PM Jess McGuire | So everyone’s well aware of the chart woes currently affecting Australian Idol winner Natalie Gauci (who will be referred to as The Gauch from hereon in, just because we can). Suffering from a severe bout of Casey-itis, it seems The Gauch’s victory at the Opera House finale last year hasn’t been enough to guarantee album sales, with her single Here I Am only managing to reach the dizzying heights of the #2 position (good under normal circumstances, but when you’re part of the Idol juggernaut and the associated publicity power that comes with it, not so good) and her album debuting at #12.
But even we were surprised when checking out the 50 members of the Facebook group “I NEED A GIG IN MELBOURNE!!!!!!” to see her name pop up.
Surely Sony-BMG aren’t forcing her to arrange her own shows via Facebook?! This’d never have happened to Matt Corby - IT IS A TRAVESTY!
Poor The Gauch :(
On the upside, she’s not alone. Former E-Street star (and deliverer of The World’s Greatest Lyrics TM - “If you wanna wait til later, hands off my detonator”) Melissa Tkautz is also part of the shouty group. Can we organise a Gauch/Tkautz double-header at a small, intimate venue like The Empress? We’d pay the $7 cover charge. Anything to support our Australian Idol! More » 
“Best Party Ever, So Far - That’s What Everyone’s Been Saying” - Ladies And Gentlemen, Meet An Idiot.
12:32PM Jess McGuire | You have probably already heard of [REDACTED], the teenager who decided to throw a bash while his parents were away - and it went somewhat awry.
[REDACTED]’s parents cut short their Gold Coast holiday after a party at their house attracted up to 500 alcohol-charged youths — who damaged police cars with bottles and had to be dispersed with the help of a police helicopter.
…
It could get worse for [REDACTED] with Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon saying the police were considering billing him up to $20,000 for the intervention. Neighbours called police after the number of teenagers, attracted via text messages, the internet and email, swelled to 500. Ms Nixon said if [REDACTED] did not pay, the community in effect would pay for his irresponsibility. Up to 30 police attended the party in Galloway Drive along with dog squads, transit police, divisional vans and a critical incident response team.
We strongly recommend you watch the following YouTube clip of [REDACTED]’s appearance on A Current Affair, if only to be able to tell your grandchildren “Yes, I saw Australia’s Dumbest Teenage Party Organiser’s famous glasses once! They changed my life”
“I’ll say sorry, but I’m not taking off my glasses.”
We urge his parents contact their ISP and have his access to MySpace blocked for at least three weeks.
PS: Nice outfit, you nuff-nuff! More » 
I’m Just Doing Karate And Trying To Get Females Pregnant
12:03PM Defamer Hollywood | Wondering how Tracy Morgan is spending his downtime from “30 Rock”? Dave Letterman asks the tough questions, the audience gets the uncomfortably honest answer. Honest to blog, we can’t wait to see Juno Jr.! LAist has a strong to very strong interview with our longtime friends/cohorts, The Fug Girls. The terminally boring Harry Potter saga may have just gotten one film longer. We’re going out on a limb here, but we’re going to guess that Voldemort doesn’t end up defeating Harry in this one, either. Now we know what Justin Timberlake sees when he wipes the sleepy crust away from his eyes each morning. We almost ralphed just typing this. We can’t imagine what will happen if you actually watch it. That’s right, it’s the Tiffany “New York” Pollard sex tape. And to close the day on a bit of unfortunate but necessary news, tomorrow’s Ben Silverman Prom has been postponed. Not cancelled, mind you, just postponed. More »
An Appearance On Big Brother Can Lead To Lifelong Friendships/Sharing Of Leases
11:58AM Jess McGuire | This is nice to know, isn’t it?
They were besties in the Big Brother house, now Aleisha Cowcher and Emma Cornell are living together once again. Proving friendship can survive outside the Gold Coast compound, Cowcher, from Cobram in rural Victoria, has shacked up with the fitness instructor in an Eastern Suburbs apartment.
Even though we thought Emma was diabolical when she appeared on last year’s season of Big Brother (remember last year? We barely do…), we were assured by a Big Brother employee that she was nowhere near as heinous as we believed her to be, and Jamie was a thousand times worse than any of us could have imagined. We’ve never met the sob-happy D&D fan though, so we’ll reserve judgement for now.
More regarding Aleisha, please!
Now her BB appearances are finally over, the bubbly blonde hairdresser is looking for a job as well as battling traffic out to Castle Hill to visit her lad Kris “Billy” Bentley.
Your Editor grew up out in the Hills District, so we will be sure to keep an ear to the ground regarding tales of Billy and Aleisha gyrating awkwardly on the dancefloor at the Tav (“It’s happening at the Tavern, the Castle Hill Tavern, it’s happening at the TAVERN toniiiiiiiight” - whaddajingle!) and any potential illicit carpark fondles at The Mean Fiddler.
