Not The Most Impressive Display Of Dame Edna’s Razor Sharp Wit, We’ve Gotta Say

It seems Dame Edna emerged from her sick bed (well, Barry Humphrey’s anyway…) to soak up the theatrical Canuck brilliance of Rufus Wainwright. She had the following things to say about Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears.

The Moonee Ponds matron has advised Winehouse to “have her tattoos removed and get rid of that spooky-looking husband”.

But she wouldn’t even draw breath on Spears, saying, “I think advice is wasted on a non-entity like Britney”.

That’s it? That’s your smackdown? Disappointing. Especially from the host who (according to one of our mates who thought it was pretty much the greatest thing ever) introduced Michael Bolton to her talk show recently with a quip along the lines of “He’s someone who has had over a dozen hits… to his website.”
