Wow, what is there to say about this clip, eh? It's a Dramatic Cat with the most amazing looking eyes I've ever seen.

And there you have it. Vintage Cute Overload if ever I saw it.

After "accidentally" saying a female MP was "worthy of coming on" on last week's edition of The Footy Show, the calls for Sam Newman to take a permanent holiday from the AFL chat show are growing louder.

I think we can safely say, however, that the surprise in this instance is not that such words could accidentally tumble out of Newman's mouth, but more that he is still on-air in the first place!

Federal Minister for the Status of Women Tanya Plibersek said Newman's comments were offensive to women.

"No matter what women achieve, some people apparently still see them as sex objects," she said. "The public response to Sam Newman's latest outburst shows that most people appreciate how stupid and shallow his comments are."

And Victorian Workforce Participation Minister Jacinta Allan called on the network to take Newman off air. She said: "Sam operates outside the boundary of good taste. Like most people I find the comments highly inappropriate."

Public Transport Minister and Western Bulldogs' No.1 woman ticketholder Lynne Kosky said she had stopped watching The Footy Show because of Newman's behaviour. Ms Wriedt was a personal friend, she said.

"Paula's a fantastic person and she just doesn't deserve it," she said.

Melbourne Demons board member Karen Hayes said people would hold Newman accountable based on his track record.

"It's not funny any more," she said.

While I'm inclined to believe that Newman didn't actually mean to say he wanted to give Wriedt a pearl necklace, there is such a thing as a Freudian slip and the fact that a) Newman said it and b) his co-panelists heard what they wanted to in what he said suggests that the climate at the Footy Show studios isn't exactly reconstructed.

After standing up for flat-chested rights (power, sister!) by commanding the makers of The Duchess not to airbrush her into busty-ness on the film's marketing materials, Keira Knightley has now revealed she longs to feel "educated" and is reading everything in sight in an effort to catch up on lost time (she left school at 17 to star in Bend It Like Beckham and never looked back, as it were).

In an interview with Tatler magazine the 23-year-old said: 'I am completely uneducated.

'Not going to university did give me an incredible driving force because it leaves you with a slight chip on your shoulder.

'It makes me feel I am going to read absolutely everything so I can prove I am not stupid.'

Surely someone can sort her out with one of those 'honorary doctorates' universities seem to like bestowing upon celebrities?

Ms Knightley, you best stop making me want to be your best friend - I am not in the business of acting like a 15 year old who "just knows" that if we met we'd get on like a house on fire; it's quite unbecoming.

Gangly Welsh "funny" man and most recently Sienna Miller's ex-fiance Rhys Ifans has traditionally been one of the blokes on Defamer Australia's "would love to get a beer with" list (alongside his female peers Charlotte Church, Tina Sparkle and Kiera Knightley).

However, I will be formally rescinding his membership after his latest "hilarious" gaffe: saying date rape is a-okay!

When asked by station Q Radio to describe a track by band the Gutter Twins the Welshman replied: 'It's kind of like being date raped, which I like.'

When the presenter asked whether date rape was a good thing he said: 'Well yeah, for guys.'

Graham Rhodes, spokesman for a the Roofie Foundation, a helpline for victims of drug-related date rape, said: 'If he wasn't to retract that, it would be nice for the 9,000 people who have been drug raped in the past 12 years.

'It shows a total lack of understanding and compassion for the issues.'

This is not the first time Ifans' sense of humour has been badly received.

Earlier this year he joked about paedophilia during a concert in aid of raising money to end child slavery and prostitution.

Oh, excellent work, Rhys. We're sure you'll be very happy with Kimberly Stewart, unless she decides she's not too keen on the idea of going out with a complete twonk who thinks it's lawltastic to make gags about rape. Onya!

After the whole 'Amy rushed to hospital for a "reaction to some medication"' kerfuffle last week, which left most sane humans wondering what "reaction to some medication" was the new euphemism for, it's good to see that Dad Winehouse has aired his thoughts on the reason for his daughter's emergency admittance.

In short, he reckons someone spiked her drink with ecstasy. Ohhh Mitch, you keep dreamin', old son.

A source said: 'Mitch is furious. He's certain someone put E in Amy's drink - and he's determined to get to the bottom of it.

'He is convinced that one of her hangers-on was responsible and he's waiting for a toxicology report to show what caused her to have a fit.

If by "put E in Amy's drink" he means "Amy put the crack in her pipe", then I'd support Mitch's reasoning fully. Unfortunately, one suspects the reality in this case is somewhat less, well, passive. Shall we all synchronise watches for the next Winegums drug freak-out?

The Jess Origliasso "porn" photo storm continues burbling away and has done over the weekend, including this rather vague piece from the Sunday Telegraph, which seems to be implying that Jess and MTV VJ Ruby Rose are now in a relationship.

We can tell that's what they're getting at because they mention Rose's having broken up with her Melbourne girlfriend, and Jess' most recent relationship having come to an end. They seem rather pleased to reveal - unless it's a typo, which they'd better hope it is - that Jess was dating a lady, too:

And The Veronicas' Jess Origliasso, 23, has been dating Azaria from the band The Follow, although she is thought to have broken up with her just weeks ago.

"Broken up with her"? Did they actually look at any pictures of The Follow or Azaria himself?

Memo to the Sunday Tele: Jess may or may not be in a relationship with a woman now, but her ex was a man. Just sayin' is all.
