The Idol Journey TM Is Emotionally Draining Chrislyn!
4:15PM Jess McGuire | Sad news from Idol HQ. Chrislyn, the teenage contestant on this year’s Australian Idol series who made Cyndi Lauper cry – in a good way – with her interpretation of ‘True Colours’, is apparently not coping very well with the , and was recently allowed by the Idol Gods to visit family in Brisbane in an attempt to cheer the young lass up.
Teenager Chrislyn Hamilton is the latest Australian Idol contestant to crumble under the pressure of Channel 10’s reality television series.
Hamilton was given special permission to travel home to Brisbane to be with her family and friends after concerns were raised that she felt lonely and ostracised from the other contestants
Not that bloody Mark “Sex On Fire” Spano is feeling overly sympathetic toward Chrislyn. More » 
Don’t Let This Stop You From Donating Your Organs!
3:17PM Jess McGuire | If there’s a worse headline out there today than “Donors not truly ‘dead’ when organs removed”, then I’d like it to make itself known so I can scream like a girl before fainting.
Most organ donors in Australia are not truly dead when their organs are taken and often transplant procedures do not conform with the law, a leading Melbourne doctor has argued.
…
Associate Professor James Tibballs, a pediatric intensive care specialist at the Royal Children’s Hospital, has called for a review of organ donation guidelines to ensure donors know that their organs can be taken when they are dying and not yet dead.

2:03PM Jess McGuire | Because if you were a huge fan of The Outdoor Room, described by the Daily Telegraph as a show which saw “Durie travelling the globe scouting gardening ideas for Aussie backyards”, you may not be seeing it on your television screen again.
Jamie Durie may have dug a hole too deep, with mounting speculation his gardening show The Outdoor Room will not return to screens.
It’s understood the expensive show will be replaced by Sunday Night, a new current affairs show to challenge 60 Minutes.

Highlights From Last Night’s ARIA Awards Ceremony!
12:46PM Jess McGuire | Oooh, I tell you what – there’s nothing that I love more than the ARIA Awards. All that glitz and glamour, energetic live performances, hilarious one liners, drinking in excess by people who should know better… it’s awesome! Oh, wait, sorry. That was Australian Idol. But the ARIAs are okay too!
Shall we go through a few of the choice highlights from last night? Let’s do it! More » 
From The ‘What On Earth Does This Mean’ Files…
11:45AM Jess McGuire | I was taking a look at the Perth Confidential website, and suddenly noticed in a little box excitingly labelled “YOU SAID IT!” which contained a comment from a reader which, as the site has bothered to highlight it for me, I’m assuming is considered quite the insight.
But I have NO IDEA what it means.
Is it code for something? I’m absolutely clueless, I’m afraid.

10:59AM Jess McGuire | Big ups to Uncle Eddie! It would appear “Channel Nine’s most expensive star” has put all that money he earned for doing diddily squat last year to wonderful use – purchasing a freakishly high priced piece of Melbourne real estate
Nine Network TV star and Collingwood AFL president Eddie McGuire has spent $11 million on a sprawling new Toorak mansion.
It is a world away from McGuire’s humble “Broady boy” roots in the northern suburbs of Melbourne and has a swimming pool and tennis court.

YouTube Clip Of The Day
10:07AM Jess McGuire | Without a doubt, this is the best clip I’ve seen in ages. Chimpanzees figure skating to the soundtrack of Rocky? DON’T MIND IF I DO!
Thank you to my darling dinner companions SJX and Lee for putting me onto this one. More » Ricki-Lee Splits From Husband!
9:09AM Jess McGuire | Ricki-Lee and her husband Jamie are calling it quits after only a year? How this story floated past me on Friday afternoon is beyond my comprehension. I am strongly obsessed with Ricki-Lee, celebrity divorces, and people with the surname ‘Babbington’ who have recently been mistakenly identified as a straight boy jacking off for the pervy delight of The Homosexuals TM who frequent dirty websites.
Says the Herald Sun:
Another day, another showbiz split… with news that Ricki-Lee Coulter is to separate from her husband Jamie Babbington, after just a year of marriage.
