Alright, so it's Monday afternoon and we're only just writing about Todd McKenney's long weekend adventures. There's a good reason for that. Occasionally in this blogging caper, a story comes along which is so good, so dramatic, so hilarious, and so unbelievable that even though you have eighteen thousand things to say about it, your noggin actually begins to overload with blogger glee and you're rendered silent for days as you come to terms with how phenomenal the story you're on the verge of writing about is.

You can imagine, then, how our brain whirred out of control when we spoke to Our Gay (Defamer Australia's official Euro Correspondent, Sir Will Fop) late on Saturday night and he piped up "Oh, have you read that Todd McKenney story which has just popped up online? Apparently he's been arrested. Found passed out in a park in the afternoon with GHB in his pocket. He's blaming it on haters, saying he's been framed. Hugh Jackman has put out a statement saying "My heart goes out to him" and called the news absolutely terrible."

DING DING DING DING DING DING! That's the sound of our ability to comprehend such a development reaching its absolute limit.

Thankfully we've had some time to ponder, reflect, and accept. Let's do this shit after the jump.

 

TV personality Todd McKenney has thanked fans for their "incredible support" following a drugs bust on Friday.

The Dancing with the Stars judge was arrested for possession of GHB when he collapsed after allegedly headbutting a fence early on Anzac Day.

However, McKenney, who claims his drink was spiked at a party, was back behind the microphone co-hosting his Sydney radio show this morning.

Shall we assess this together?

1. Knocking himself out after headbutting a fence - why so violent, Todd? The fence speak up in defence of Nikki Webster?

2. We can't remember the last time a celebrity was sprung high as a kite/drunk as a skunk and hasn't cried "Drink spiking! It was drink spiking! Someone slipped something into one of my thirteen beers!" Of course, in Todd's case we're sure it really happened. Yep.

3. Back at work on Monday morning? Probably while still coming down? That's dedication to radio!

Friend and Hollywood star Hugh Jackman, who replaced McKenney in The Boy from Oz, was shocked when told about the incident. "Oh my God, I had no idea," Jackman said. "My heart goes out to him. That is absolutely terrible, terrible news. I just hope that he is OK,'' he said.

Dude, he isn't dying of feline AIDS or anything like that. Calm the fuck down.

In an interview with Channel Seven's Today Tonight, McKenney described the sensations he felt at the party. "After one drink I felt very sick and then my face got hot and I had, like my ears got very, very hot and I just knew instantly that something wasn't right," McKenney said."So as I kept walking I could just feel myself just having the most insane kind of collapses of mind and then I was panicking because it was a feeling I've just never felt before."

Cos you got hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, soooooooooooo hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Sounds like some quality gear. Pass on our details to your drink spiker in time for the Queens Birthday long weekend, would you dear?

Todd's explanation as to why someone would not only spike his drink, but also plant GHB on him, thrilled us to bits.

McKenney told a weekend paper he believed he had been "set up" at the Thursday night party and was a victim of the tall-poppy syndrome. "They obviously wanted to put the boot into me," he told the paper. "I don't know what I have done to deserve this treatment. I will rigorously defend any charges."

Also known as the Ja'mie King Defence. Everyone hates Todd because he's hot!
