Andrew G, Have You Done Something To Your Hair?
4:17PM Jess McGuire | Do you know what the best part of this article talking about Andrew G’s impending nuptials to hot tamale Noa Tishby was?
No, it wasn’t the bit where we learned the saintly folk from Fremantle Media have been kind enough to offer Andrew G some time off the Australian Idol treadmill to get hitched in June, although that’s nice.
Australian Idol host Andrew G will take a special break from filming the program in June, because of his wedding to Israeli model Noa Tishby.
The marriage will take place in Israel, with a number of celebrity guests from Australia expected to attend. G, who is busy with wedding plans, is said to be thrilled that his bosses have been so understanding about rearranging his Australian Idol duties in time for the big day.
“Channel Ten and Fremantle Media have been so accommodating,” said Mark Morrissey, G’s agent, who confirmed the nuptials would take place in Israel next month.
Nup, the best bit about the article is that the photo accompanying it appears to show Noa pulling back Andrew G’s shirt in order to reveal a curious man-boob waxing job.
Is it just me? It’s just me, isn’t it?

YouTube Clip Of The Day
4:08PM Jess McGuire | I don’t want to come over all Tiny Tim, but god bless you, every one!
The emails are flooding in for Clip Of The Day suggestions (DON’T STOP), and I’m in the process of watching and chuckling at them all as we speak. Well, obviously not right now. Right now I’m typing. And getting off topic.
ANYWAY.
Reader Pete sent this in and it’s awesome and short and oddly pleasing.
Thanks, Arthur! More » Hey You, Send Us Something Funny Or Interesting! Please!
2:44PM Jess McGuire | Yesterday I was talking to a complete stranger at a cafe (as you do) about Rima the Wee Starlet from Big Brother (as you do), and somehow the topic moved to amazing YouTube clips (as it does).
The very nice man was telling me of a GLORIOUSLY FUNNY YouTube clip, describing it in loving detail, and took my email address and promised to send it to me immediately so I could pass it onto you, Defamer Australia’s ridiculously attractive readers.
BUT HIS EMAIL HAS NOT ARRIVED YET.
And until it does, I cannot bring myself to trawl The Toobs for funny things because it just breaks my damn heart to know this magical clip is out there somewhere, and I can’t remember enough keywords to find it on my own.
In order to cheer me up, I am begging you – send me any links to brilliant (or even mildly amusing) YouTube videos, and help me (and your fellow readers) waste valuable time snickering at our monitors. If you email tips at defamer.com.au, I will worship you from afar and check out your link recommendation as quickly as humanly possible. More » 
Lisa Veronicas: “I Feel So Untouched… But I’m Okay With It, I Promise”
2:26PM Jess McGuire | Reet reet reet! Another report just in here at the Two Day Old News Desk TM! Lisa Origliasso has revealed she’s just fine and dandy about the fact professional virgin, her new fiance Dean Geyer, has resisted doing un-Christian things to her naughty bits during their year long courtship.
Australian Idol finalist Geyer, 22, and Origliasso, 23, open up about life, love and sex in an interview with OK Magazine.
But only Origliasso is experienced in the latter. Geyer is saving sex for marriage.
“I think for us, this was the next step to show our commitment,” Origliasso said.
She has said she respects Geyer’s chastity vow.
“I support him with all his decisions, just as he supports mine,” she said. “It’s all good.”
Let’s hope she says something similar after their wedding night. More » 
Look Out, Callea-Campbell Fans – There’s A Hot New Homosexual Pairing Exciting Gossip Columnists!
12:13PM Jess McGuire | As Ros Reines breathlessly reports this morning, it appears Tim Campbell and Anthony Callea aren’t the only cowboys in town who prefer to bunk together rather than having one stay in the pup tent to guard the sheep up on Brokeback. Following on from Anthony Callea and Million Dollar Wheel Of Fortune host Tim Campbell, the latest potential same-sex showbiz couple has been revealed. Music guru John Foreman, of Australian Idol fame, and So You Think You Can Dance judge Matt Lee are reportedly an item. More than one pair of gays in the entertainment industry, Ros? You’d want to be sure! It just sounds implausible to me! What proof do you have, woman? They were spotted leaving the Channel Ten Logies after-party in the early hours of the morning and certainly seemed to be getting along swimmingly Awwww. PS: John Foreman GAY? Matt Lee GAY? WHO KNEW? PPS: I am clearly kidding. More »
Sonia Kruger Is An Unstoppable Force
12:13PM Jess McGuire | Look, I’m not going to claim credit for Sonia Kruger’s demands being met by MIX 106.5FM management, but I think it’s fairly obvious Defamer Australia’s public support of Tina Sparkle (and her wish to see her beloved producer returned to the studio) certainly helped the situation somewhat, don’t you agree?
READERS: “NO”
Very well.
In any case, Sonia is happy once more!
Sonia Kruger has got her way at radio station MIX FM. Her executive producer has been reinstated on the breakfast program following Kruger’s threat to quit.
Management at MIX FM knows which side its bread is buttered when it comes to the pulling power of the station – yesterday reinstating the breakfast program’s executive producer after star recruit Sonia Kruger threatened to walk.
The popular presenter came in to bat for her MIX colleague Brenden Wood after he was benched “indefinitely” last week, seemingly scapegoated after McKenney’s on-air jibes about Channel 9 newsreader Mark Ferguson.
The decision to shelve Wood after Nine pulled the rug on an estimated $100,000 worth of advertising pushed Kruger to fight her producer’s rights – and winning – with management confirming Wood would be back in the studio this morning.

‘Twilight’ May Look Sexy On-Screen, But The Only Action On-Set Involved ‘Runny Noses’ And ‘Hail Globs’
11:10AM Molly Friedman | As we noted last week, the highly anticipated Twilight franchise appears to be far steamier and sexier than the books’ tween fans may have expected. And a profile on the film in yesterday’s LAT suggests the series’ author Stephenie Meyer may be just as surprised. Described by the article’s author as “chaste,” the Mormon mother of three sounds like the near opposite of director and “troubled-teen expert” Catherine Hardwicke. But as the article reveals, no matter how hot and bothered we felt after watching the teaser trailer, the actual action on set wasn’t putting any of its gorgeous cast members in the mood: Slathered in pale vampire makeup with alternating doses of sun, rain and “hail globs the size of golf balls,” actors huddle in a heated ‘fire tent’ and stuff Kleenex to their cold, runny noses; they exchange rubber boots for Adidas just before the cameras roll.
‘Sex And The City’ Premiere Upstaged By World’s Stupidest Head-Corsage
10:50AM Seth | If you’re feeling a little cheated by the fact that Sex and the Movie (try it! It’s catching on!) had its world premiere today in a town better known for Black and Tans and battered cod than Cosmos and Sushi Samba, there is some comfort to be taken from the fact that London’s splashy red carpet get was completely overshadowed by That Thing On Sarah Jessica Parker’s head.

End-Of-Monday Tallies Put ‘Racer’ At Third, UTA Minus One Emile Hirsch
10:10AM Seth | It seems as if our reconnaissance on Speed Racer—quickly shaping up to be one of the biggest turkeys in recent Hollywood history—proved correct: The film was indeed third at the box office this weekend, taking in $18.6 million, $1.6 million short of the bloated studio estimates released yesterday. (What Happens in Vegas actually $200k more than its $2 million estimate.) And there’s more Racer roadkill: More »
