Katy Perry Continues To Irritate Beyond Belief
4:35PM Jess McGuire | I’m not sure if I got the message across properly yesterday (I was trying to be subtle) but I really, really don’t like Katy Perry. I don’t enjoy her music in the slightest – ‘I Kissed A Girl’ is only tolerable if you change the lyrics to ‘I Fist A Girl’, and even then you’re pushing it – but most of all, I just think that the gospel singer-turned-faux-lesbian singer is incredibly annoying.
And she’s not going away! At least Sandi Thom had the good sense to nick off back to her apartment in Tooting after inflicting ‘I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)’ upon the world. Katy Perry has released two – two – horrible singles that I know of, and she’s probably got more up her sleeve!
The photo to your left? That’s her KISSING A GIRL!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?! The woman copping Perry’s completely sexless pash is former host of The View The Catch Up Zoe Sheridan. Isn’t that the least erotic smooch you’ve ever seen? More » 
Young Twinks First Single!
3:39PM Jess McGuire | Thanks to reader Alice, here’s what a Young Twinks CD single could look like.
Personally, I am thinking the first Young Twinks release should be a cover of Rod Stewart’s ‘Young Turks’, reinterpreted as a warning against the dangers of premarital sex (being forced to live in a two room apartment that is “jumping every night of the week”, eventually giving birth to perineum-tearingly large ten pound baby boy whilst still a teenager, etc). But that’s just me.
HEY SONY BMG, HOW ARE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE LADS GOING, PLEASE?

3:17PM Jess McGuire | … the 3AW Rumour File (how appropriate!) tells us that for all our joking, we were nearly spot on when it came to our merry jibes about the newsreader being too preoccupied with stalking an ex on Facebook to deliver the 4pm bulletin!
Ah, break ups. They may not result in workplace goal kicking – but at least they keep you busy, what with all the wall-to-walling, decoding status updates, and asking yourself who the hell that new girl is who just posted a totally flirtacious comment on his page DOESN’T HE LOVE YOU ANYMORE, DIDN’T YOU MEAN ANYTHING TO HIM?! WHAT DOES HE MEAN “IT’S COMPLICATED”?!

3AW newsreader misses bulletin to surf Facebook More » The Wiggles Get Their Greek On!
12:17PM Jess McGuire | In an effort to continue making gazillions of dollars through the production of educational entertainment shows for children, The Wiggles are now embarking on a new adventure – one that the Daily Telegraph excitedly informs us will see the lads taking off their skivvies!
Oh. Not in a nude way though. Disappointing for those who wish to bang Murray Cook, but probably better for the little ones.
After 17 years together, Australia’s richest entertainers The Wiggles have produced a TV show that won’t require them to wear a coloured skivvy.

11:08AM Jess McGuire | Do you ever read a story where you know you’re meant to be thinking “What an idiot!” but secretly you’re thinking “God, that’s absolutely something I would do!”? That happened to me this morning when I heard about the 3AW newsreader who is in a bit of trouble after being so engrossed in Facebook, they forgot to present the hourly news bulletin. Arf!
THE team at 3AW have been instructed to watch their computer usage after the radio station missed a news bulletin because the newsreader was on Facebook.

BREAKING: Scott Rudin Yanks His Name From ‘The Reader’
10:50AM STV | We don’t always know what to believe anymore when it comes to The Reader, but after a turbulent period of fighting, making up, gossip-page ensnarement and a charity payout, no one watching the tormented relationship between Scott Rudin and Harvey Weinstein could have realistically expected it to survive another two months leading up the release of their troubled Kate Winslet drama. And right on cue, that eerie silence of the last week is ended this afternoon when Rudin reportedly stripped his name from the Oscar hopeful, citing irreconcilable differences — among other things.
Broadcast Networks and Horny Craigslister Want To Get In Bed With Obama
9:40AM Kyle Buchanan | It was announced today that Barack Obama will be buying a half-hour of primetime television on both CBS and NBC just a few days before the November 4 election. The political infomercial reps good news for both networks (which can pre-empt low-rated shows like Gary Unmarried and Knight Rider in favour of a pre-sold half hour), but it may be even better news for the frisky Craigslister who just posted this offer: More »
YouTube Clip Of The Day
9:23AM Jess McGuire | Today’s Clip Of The Day was suggested by Ruth, who scribbled on the note attached to it “I have a video for you. I am obsessed with it. It’s A-ha’s ‘Take on Me’ redone so the song literally describes everything in the song’s nonsensical video clip.”
BAND MOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNTAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

10 Celeb Marathoners to Beat in Ryan Reynolds’ Rookie Race
9:20AM STV | Ryan Reynolds hit the fundraising circuit running — literally — in an essay today on The Huffington Post, where he opened up about his training for next month’s New York Marathon. There, despite vowing to avoid such events after once observing an epidemic of runners’ bleeding nipples, the newlywed is racing on behalf of Michael J. Fox’s foundation to fight Parkinson’s Disease. But while we applaud his determination in battling 26 miles of nipple-chafe, Reynolds is running for more than just a good cause. He’s also trotting into a celebrity pastime with a rich tradition of its own, competing against the likes of Will Ferrell, Katie Holmes, Diddy and even David Lee Roth’s six-hour slog through New York in 1987. After the jump, find the ten swiftest boldfacers who ever laced up a pair of track shoes. Train harder, Ryan — and happy bleeding! More »
