Chris Martin VS Ricky Gervais
1:02PM Jess McGuire | Cementing my earlier love for Chris Martin (I am going to get punched soon, I know), I present for your viewing pleasure Ricky Gervais’ daft interview with Chris Martin.
Have I already shown you this? I can find no trace of it on Defamer Australia but have vague recollections of inflicting it upon you. My apologies if it’s a repeat, I have New Zealand brain at the moment. Must be the Wellington cold getting to me. More » 
BB08: Terri Is The Hot Tip To Win
11:57AM Jess McGuire | The end of Big Brother – both the season and the series – is hovering above us, and betting agencies are convinced that beloved Pauline Hanson-supporting grandmother Terri is the pick of the bunch.
Following last night’s double eviction of animal doctor Alice and squeaky-voiced Travis, 52-year-old Terri has been tipped to beat 22-year-old brickie Rory and 19-year-old law student Ben to the title when the series concludes tonight.
Betting agency Lasseters Sportsbook has the Sydney grandmother as a $1.55 favourite, despite all their best predictions.
“I’ve taken bets on this show since it started and I never thought a 52-year-old, Pauline Hanson-loving, supermarket worker could be favoured to win,” Lasseters’ Gerard Daffy said in a statement.
Neither did I, Mr Daffy. But she’s quite a pleasant old redneck, as far as rednecks go.
That said, do not be surprised if Rory wins. If he’s good enough to give Carson Kressley the horn, the teenage voters will probably waste their prepaid credit and shoot a billion votes his way. More » Should We Hold Our Breath For A Coldplay/Hannah Montana Collaboration?
11:51AM Jess McGuire | Finger accoutrement enthusiast and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has revealed his appreciation for the musical works of one Miley Cyrus, and admits there’s every chance Coldplay could one day support the lass at a tween infested concert.
No, really.
The Coldplay frontman has yet to meet the teen sensation but already knows he’d like her if he did.
He says, “I like Miley Cyrus… I like the TV show.”
And Martin insists he’d even consider supporting Cyrus at a concert for what would be one of the oddest gigs ever.
He adds, “I’d do it. Anyone we like or respect, no matter how different they may be, we would play with.”
Ha! I don’t care what anyone says, I like the earnest bastard, I really do. More » 
Sharon Osbourne To Aussie Comedian: “Why Don’t You Fuck Off?”
10:37AM Jess McGuire | Wow, today appears to be themed around The Osbournes, doesn’t it? In our second Osbourne related story, it seems matriarch Sharon was none too pleased with Australian comedian Jim Jeffries after he called daughter Kelly “unattractive and fat”. Has he not seen the latest pictures of her? (Sharon Osbourne) sent Australian funnyman Jim Jeffries an email full of expletives after he said Kelly wasn’t as attractive as British model Agyness Deyn, at the NME Awards USA earlier this year. Following the incident, which ended with Kelly, 23, spitting in Jim’s face… Of course it did… … the comedian received a scathing internet message from Sharon. During a stand-up show at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Jim said: “I thought that would be the end of it but I got an email from Sharon which said, ‘Dear Nobody. Wait until you’re a celebrity before you criticise REAL celebrities. Why don’t you f**k off?’ In Sharon’s defence, while Kelly may rub people up the wrong way, is it not completely boring – and worst of all, lazy – to just fling a fat insult at a woman and then dust your hands off, feeling smug and satisfied you put a mouthy bitch in her place? Jim continues with his tale of Osbourne fury… “So I replied, ‘Dear Sharon. After you had all that plastic surgery and had the fat sucked out of your thighs, why did you pump it into your daughter’s face?’ Erm, zing? Or not. More »
Kelly Osbourne To Marry Teenage Corey Lookalike Boyfriend?
10:22AM Jess McGuire | Because Kelly Osbourne hasn’t emphatically denied she may – one day – consider tying the knot with her blonde slice of teenage love-pie Luke Worrell (kudos to the reader who emailed in and pointed out that Luke resembles a better looking Corey Worthington), and she’s been spotted wearing bling on her ring finger (doesn’t she know it’s bad luck if you’re not getting hitched?), it seems only logical for the paper to assume she’s planning on wedding her youthful beau.
Kelly Osbourne has been snapped strolling through the streets of London with a ring on her engagement finger.
The 23-year-old year-old has made no secret of her love for new boyfriend Luke Worrell and even hinted she wouldn’t rule out hitched to the model and BMX rider.
…
She said last month of him : ‘We get on so well together. I really do love him. Every time we are in each other’s company, we always have a good time.’
And that, as they say, appears to be that.
Also – how good is Kelly looking at the moment? You go, girlfriend! (finger clicks, etc) More »
