Did You Know Scott And Charlene Did The Deed In A Travel Lodge?

3:50PM Jess McGuire | In what must be a pleasing turn of events for his current missus and the mother of his children, Jason Donovan continues to talk about his time with Kylie Minogue to anyone within earshot. This time, he’s sat down with infamous UK showbiz dude Piers Morgan and spilled the beans on how Kylie made the moves which led to the wholesome looking pair making the beast with two backs…. at a Travel Lodge. Donovan, 40, spoke at length about his secret relationship with Minogue, confiding that she seduced him and that they spent their first passionate night together in the Travel Lodge in Sydney. Asked if he thought he was in love, Donovan replied: “Yeah, I would say that’s pretty accurate. Yes, it sounds pretty accurate. Considering you won’t stop going on about it two decades later! More »

Australian Idol Round-Up: Buh Bye, Brooke

2:06PM Clem Bastow | Another week, another cookie crumbles for the Idol hopefuls (and another metaphor we probably won’t use again), with this week’s loser lowest-vote-getter being the twitchy-nosed Brooke Addamo. Yes, it seems not even Addamo’s Bewitched-esque facial-tics-while-singing were enough to save her from the dreaded “Why don’t you show Australia why you made it this far?”-prompted performance. The 17-year-old’s exit brings the finalist tally to Ten. “Last night I was a bit tearful but this morning I’m feeling better,” she told LIVENEWS.com.au. More »

Andrew G Spends His Days In The Closet

11:25AM Jess McGuire | But don’t be whipping out a rainbow flag just yet. Andrew G’s marriage to Noa Tishby wasn’t a “bearding” at all – it turns out Andrew G works in the closet! For the radio! Isn’t technology grand? Nothing gay about it! When teenagers tune in to 98 stations across Australia to hear Andrew Gunsberg counting down the top hits on Take 40 each week, little do they realise he might also be counting the number of shoes in his wife’s closet. Actually, that opening paragraph does sound a little fruity… More »

Jamie Oliver Expecting Another Mouth To Feed

Sonny Bill Williams Is The Most Evil Man Alive.

9:38AM Jess McGuire | REET REET REET! Slightly Delayed Newsdesk special report! I was quietly amused to see that those wacky folk at Zoo Weekly have decided that Sonny Bill Williams, the former star of the Canterbury Bulldogs rugby league team who recently packed his bags and ran off to France for a job where he’ll get paid loads more than he ever would’ve playing sport in Australia, is this year’s Top Villain. And who did he beat? Well, 49 other horrible people. Including a mass murderer. But – and I say this with a great sense of perspective – ditching your team mates is heaps worse than anything a terrorist could do. Rugby league deserter Sonny Bill Williams has edged out Bali bomber Amrozi to be named Australia’s most hated person in a notorious annual poll. Williams has topped men’s mag Zoo Weekly’s annual Top 50 People We Hate List, released today, The Courier-Mail reports. More »

For Brooke Hogan, The Family That Pole Dances Together Stays Together

9:10AM Kyle Buchanan | Sure, reality star Brooke Hogan doesn’t know who Sarah Palin is (or the identity of our current vice president, for that matter), but it’s only because she’s been working so hard! After all, who has time to brush up on politics when you’re busy taking striptease classes with your mother? Yes, on last night’s episode of Brooke Knows Best, Brooke decides that a pole-dancing lesson will be just the thing she needs for a workout, and she decides to bring mother Linda along, too. Showing off the moves that would eventually bag Linda a nineteen-year-old boyfriend and strain her relations with Brooke, the cougar supremo humps the pole and floor in an unnerving mother/daughter celebration of post-postmodern female empowerment, disguised as a workout routine at Crunch. We can’t wait until a very special Christmas episode of Brooke Knows Best, when Linda returns the favour and.gifts Brooke with a coupon for pairs’ Kegel exercises at the downtown Miami Y [VH1] More »

New ‘W.’ Spot Was One Fake Nose Away From Starring Christian Bale

9:00AM STV | The W. news cycle is picking up again in advance of its Oct. 17 release date, and this time around no one even had to go to jail: A few days after Vanity Fair showcased a fresh family photo from the Shreveport set, a new, more irony-embracing TV spot is circulating online. View it after the jump, and tell us if Defamer’s finely calibrated crystal ball didn’t see the George W. Bush and Friends Variety Hour vibe coming a mile away. And if you still don’t believe Oliver Stone had a laff riot in mind from the belated start, a new interview with GQ not only confirms it, but introduces a fantastic, regrettably retroactive casting rumour that would have elevated our expectations beyond W. simply backfiring in Democrats’ faces next month: More »

Whoopi Goldberg, Unlikely Fashion Plate

8:55AM Defamer Hollywood | This week on The View, Whoopi Goldberg has been cajoled into throwing caution to the wind and “dressing like a girl” (as Joy Behar so delicately put it). Yes, you read that correctly. Whoopi, whose style has been fondly described by our own Molls as “lesbian train conductor” chic, is trading in her Crocs and oversized collared shirts for Eileen Fisher dresses and patent red leather heels. Sure, she looks good. But her patronizing co-hosts are acting like a proud mother whose little Sally shed all that “baby fat” after being force-fed Nutrisystem for five months. “Look at you, girl, you’re wearing a skirt!” cries Babs. “You’re so sexy and hot, girl,” chimes in Sherri. Gee, you can see Whoopi thinking, did I look that bad? [The View] More »
