We Can Probably Assume Lily Allen Is Regretting “Elton-Gate”
1:43PM Clem Bastow | After downing the champers at a rate David Boon would be proud of when she attended the GQ Man of the Year Awards last week, then shooting off her mouth at co-host Elton John only to be shot down in flames regarding her stomach, shall we say, for toot, as they say – and then realising it was all caught on tape – Lily Allen’s probably been feeling more than a little sorry for herself these past couple of days. Well, you’d assume that, but thanks to the wonders of online social networking, we can confirm that as well!
Allen’s Facebook entry read: “Lily is dying inside”, which replaced an earlier statement, when she wrote on her page: “Lily has had enough feels like killing herself”.

Hey Hey, It’s Nine’s Best Idea Yet
11:26AM Clem Bastow | Even though there’s still a fair whack of the year left to go, it’s probably safe to say that 2008 hasn’t been as “two-thousand-and-great” as Channel Nine would’ve hoped; between bonings, cancellations, court orders and Sam Newman, it’s been an annus horribilis that even the battle scarred Queen Liz would’ve shuddered at. Thus, I don’t want to jinx things for our “friends” over at Nine HQ, but the latest whisperings in this godforsaken world could well point towards one of the best ideas the network has come up with in a while: bringing back Hey Hey, It’s Saturday! Yes, with Daryl Somers newly exited from Dancing With The Stars, he’s looking for a gig, and word on the street is that a series of Hey Hey clip shows could turn into a revival.
After turning his back on an offer from Foxtel to create a one-off Hey Hey It’s Saturday reunion, Somers is apparently back in discussions with Nine boss David Gyngell about refronting the show.
More » Tasma Walton Craves Spermination By Rove McManus
10:47AM Jess McGuire | Ladies mag editors around the country must be rubbing their hands together with glee after Tasma Walton admitted in an interview with Sunday Magazine that she’s hankering for babies with television hosting superstar and annual Logies victor Rove McManus.
In an exclusive interview with Sunday Magazine Walton, 35, talked of her happiness with the Gold Logie winner, saying she was now content with everything in her life except for one thing. “More and more, the idea of having a child appeals – and it hasn’t always been that way,” she said.
I suppose gazing at Rove’s cherubic features, combined with Peter Helliar’s no doubt non stop chatter about his little ones, is enough to turn a woman onto the idea of motherhood.
Tasma continues, discussing her relationship with Rove and the tabloid interest once their dalliance was revealed in the press: More » 
YouTube Clip Of The Day
10:37AM Jess McGuire | Reader Anthony sent in a link to a YouTube video, with a note saying:
bored.
aircon is set far too high
maybe i should have a crunchy bar..
I don’t know what that all means – is it a poem? Code? The beginning of some sort of viral marketing campaign for Crunchy bars? Or just a strangely honest revelation about the life of Anthony? It’s all so tremendously confusing.
Obviously I was already feeling a little unsettled when I followed the link to the video Anthony sent me, and after watching the clip I was even more baffled.
I mean, really. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? The only thing of which I can be certain is that Pencil Face will be appearing in my nightmares from this day forth. More » 
Australian Idol: It Can’t Be Long Now Before Things Actually Get Interesting, Right? Right?
9:15AM Jess McGuire | Last night’s Wild Card episode wasn’t enough to keep me in the house, the lure of Japanese food and my friend Booky’s text message stating “You know Idol is shit, come to tea” overpowering my original desire to remain couch-bound and Marcia’d up to the eyeballs, but thanks to the wonders of technology, I was able to view the performances once I got home and I’ve gotta say…
I’m not overly enthusiastic about any of the singers (James Spargo makes me want to go a little punchy actually, ever since the audition episodes where he cried at the drop of a hat) but if Roshani doesn’t make it into the Top Twelve, I will boycott the show for the rest of the season*.
Watch her performance, and soak up more vapid thoughts from Your Editor, after the jump.
*Note: When push comes to shove, I probably won’t stand by this vow. More » 
Suddenly I Do: KT Tunstall Gets Married
9:01AM Jess McGuire | Let me start off by saying that I hate myself for that lame ‘Suddenly I See’-with-a-nuptial-twist gag.
Moving swiftly along, it’s time to shout “Huzzah!” (and possibly “Who cares!”) for Very Popular TM singer KT Tunstall has finally gotten hitched to her long term drummer boyfriend, disappointing lesbian fans everywhere who were convinced that Tunstall donning rainbow-coloured braces on a record cover meant her interests included diving and listening the kd lang.
Scots singer KT Tunstall married her fiance, drummer Luke Bullen, on the Isle of Skye. The 33-year-old from Fife exchanged her vows in a marquee overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
She wore a full-length white silk strapless gown and the groom wore a powder-blue morning suit as 150 friends and family descended on four-star Flodigarry Country House Hotel set amid the island’s stunning natural scenery.
They might have been wearing traditional couture, but the guests who attended the ceremony were certainly dressed in a rather more exotic fashion. More »
