Brekky Radio Host Wins A Bloggie, Takes The Lord’s Name In Vain
4:19PM Jess McGuire | Oh happy day, citizens of Nerdistan. For it was written that one amongst us would be chosen to entertain the masses with pithy social commentary and weekly question and answer sessions and be celebrated for this kind dorky activity, and so it is today we learn Ms Fits (also known as Triple J breakfast host Marieke Hardy) has won herself a Bloggie at the Eighth Annual Weblog Awards!
Hardy said she hadn’t expected to receive any awards for the blog, where she posts a mix of wry observations and left-wing political commentary as the cynical Ms Fits.
“I’m still somewhat surprised about it all, to be honest. I wasn’t expecting to win any prizes for my semi-regular inane internet rantings,” Hardy said today.
“At least now I can tell my parents my little hobby has paid off.”
We asked her for an official statement for Defamer Australia readers, which she promptly gave us.
“Christ.”
Thank you, Ms Fits.
Better go and read the News Ltd article if you want proper quotes and stuff.
In any case, we suppose whoever put forward the winning bid in the recent eBay auction for a night on the town with Marieke Hardy will be pleased. We suggest marking her price up, and selling her on. More » 
Deni Hines Not A Fan Of Cheerleading Sister Girlfriends
12:42PM Jess McGuire | A trip to a basketball game is, for most people, normally a pleasant experience full of sporting goodwill and athletic joy, but not for punters at the recent Sydney Kings/Melbourne Tigers grand final. Hoop lovers were forced to witness a foul-mouthed Deni Hines running amok and lashing out at cheerleaders.
Hines was a guest of Sydney Kings shareholder Dorry Kordahi and, alongside other celebrity attendees Jane Flemming and partner Ian Purchas, was treated to front-row seats at the blockbuster match held at Sydney Entertainment Centre. The only problem being Hines was in the mood for some slam-dunking of her own – at the expense of the Sydney Kings’ cheerleading squad.
Spectators sitting close to the singer told Confidential they were appalled when Hines, the daughter of Australian Idol judge Marcia Hines, began abusing the cheerleaders in an expletive-ridden rant after one of the girls accidentally brushed past her.
“She was saying things like, ‘Get your f…ing s… out of my face’ and pretending to kick the girls while they were sitting courtside doing their job,” one witness reported yesterday.
Now, now. What would your impeccably mannered mother say, Deni? (“That moody cow?” – Chanel Cole)
Confidential’s source for the story manages to include a tasty anti-Deni zinger in their version of events, huffily declaring -
“I have to say, I was absolutely appalled by Deni’s behaviour – there is a right and wrong way to conduct yourself and she behaved inappropriately. Besides, I’m sure the cheerleaders have received more work than Deni over the past few years.”
They shoot, they score!
As one would expect, Deni’s management are denying the entire thing ever happened. More » 
Tori Spelling, Disinherited Woman Of Mystery
12:15PM Seth | 20/20 gets to the bottom of that whole bogus sob story about Tori Spelling spending the majority of her adult life on the brink of poverty. As John Stossel would say, “Give me a break!” Are we right, people? Report: Fake-love may have gone sour for Star Jones and gay husband. Joe Francis in transit: The flashcore mogul is being released from Nevada jail to face his Panama City, Fla. charges. It’s a PR miracle! A big feature about The Dark Knight in the NY Times that doesn’t reference Heath Ledger’s death until the 17th paragraph! Britney Spears has been granted a $1500-per-week debit card allowance, which she’ll burn through on the first day with one glorious Pinkberry containing double-servings of every available topping. Ah, we never tire of looking at pictures of the ageless Catherine Zeta-Jones and the ageful Michael Douglas. More »YouTube Clip Of The Day
12:04PM Jess McGuire | You know, sometimes when we’re checking out the madness of YouTube, we just want to find something simple which appeals to our most basic needs. Like with the following video, we thought “Aha! Girl dressed as seal is frightened of hungry polar bear, hilarity ensues!”
But then we read the comments and from what we can tell from them and Wikipedia, the little girl is in fact a Japanese model and popstar called Yuko Ogura whose nickname means polar bear and who is mocked by a man called Guitar Samurai for being quirky and oddball and everything is confusing and hurts our head and in conclusion, send help immediately.

Trannies, Hot Messes, And Ferocity: ‘SNL’ Does ‘Runway’
11:25AM Seth | Following a season of Project Runway is something akin to sticking your head in a gay pinball machine, at the end of which enough “fierces” and “feroches” have ricocheted off your skull to cause your brain to dissolve into a soft pink foam and run out your ears. It’s an effect not entirely lost on the writers of SNL, who noticed that the search for America’s Next Top Designer You’ll Probably Never Hear From Again was perhaps a sconch over-reliant on oft-repeated catchphrases, whose non-meanings decreased with each sassy intonation. And we’d be remiss in not presenting the Fierce Trannie Hot Mess Gold Star to Amy Poehler, who really manages to capture the dippy, squared-off smile of Runway victor Christian Siriano. More »

A Never Before Seen Episode Of ‘Melrose Place,’ In Which Heather Locklear Hears Imaginary 911 Calls In Her Head
9:48AM Molly Friedman | Straight out of a Melrose Place marathon on Lifetime, Heather Locklear was at the center of a dramatic series of (Exclusive!) stories posted online over the weekend having to do with a phantom 911 call and alleged suicide attempts. Some said the call came from Locklear, some said her psychiatrist, and others said they didn’t care. But as the workweek began and actual reporters took to the stage, it seems as though the story was nothing more than an overreaction to one in a sea of myriad false positives raging through the LAPD phone lines daily. So who started the hubbub in the first place? And was the call in question coming from…inside the house? More »
