Another Young Twinks Single Release!
4:49PM Jess McGuire | Thanks to reader Hannah, Your Editor can happily take another hit from the Young Twinks bong.
A cover of The Divinyls? I’d buy it.
SONG-BMG, ARE THE WHEELS IN GODDAMN MOTION YET OR WHAT? More » 
YouTube Clip Of The Day
3:33PM Jess McGuire | Today’s clip comes courtesy of the lovely Jesse from LIVENEWS.com.au. He describes it as “Jason Alexander on a combination of speed and acid doing a McDonalds commercial”.
I really want to eat a McDLT now. And also, strangely, own more styrofoam food packaging, even though I’d probably be shot by a hippy if I was ever found with one. More » Honey To The Bee, That’s A New Baby For Billie!
2:24PM Jess McGuire | Congratulations to Honey To The Bee singer* Billie Piper and her husband Laurence Fox, who recently became first time parents.
The 26 year-old delivered son Winston James Fox at the private Portland Hospital yesterday by Caesarean Section. Both mother and baby are believed to be doing well. Her husband Laurence Fox drove her to the hospital and was present for the birth. Mr Fox celebrated the birth with a pint of lager in the local Green Man pub next to the Portland yesterday with a group of friends.
Bless ‘em. Apparently Laurence was hesitant to reveal his new son’s name to the media, considering it “a private moment”, but thankfully Billie’s ex-husband Chris Evans promptly took to his blog and revealed all. More » 
Say Goodbye To Russell Crowe’s Dead Koala-Hair
12:57PM Jess McGuire | Russell Crowe recently revealed he was very unhappy with the hairstyle he’d been forced parade about town due to his role in the new movie Nottingham, claiming his long locks made him feel like he was “walking around with a dead koala” on his back.
Thankfully for Russell, the day of scissor-reckoning is fast approaching.
Fans who were worried Russell Crowe intended to keep the long tresses he grew to play the Sheriff of Nottingham can breathe a sigh of relief. He plans to donate the hair to children’s wig charity Locks of Love who support kids who have lost their hair. Phew
Awww. He’s ditching the unattractive dead koala look AND supporting a good cause? Go, Russ, go!
On another note, I recently saw a picture of Russell’s son Tennyson in a magazine, and that child is beyond adorable. That is all.

Gabriella Cilmi Denies Delivering Her ARIA Acceptance Speeches Under The Influence Of Alcohol
11:39AM Jess McGuire | Good lord, “The Public” – just lay off Gabriella Cilmi, alright? The Daily Telegraph reports that following the teenage singer’s victorious appearance at this year’s ARIA Awards, hundreds of Cilmi-fans immediately headed to the mysterious and cutthroat world of Internet Posts TM and accused the singer of being half-cut when she took to the stage.
Poor Gabriella has had to hit back at the claims, saying she was suffering from exhaustion (that old chestnut!) and that’s why her various acceptance speeches sounded like the inarticulate thoughts of a teenage girl from the suburbs who was a little overwhelmed after winning every single prize handed out during the ceremony, including the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Underage popstar Gabriella Cilmi has blamed exhaustion and not the demon drink for her under-the-weather appearance as the ARIAs wore on.

11:01AM Seth | That’s why you need the Zyliss Ultra Peeler: Your lady will barely be able to keep her hands off your kiwis! These two delightful finds—one featuring nothing but inverted canines, the other, a gallery of impressively morbid creations using chicken bones, KFC containers, and ketchup—do nothing but reconfirm our love of the Internets.

Did Ruby Rose And Vanessa Amorosi REALLY Get It On After The ARIAs?
9:33AM Jess McGuire | Oh my god. You know when we discussed the ARIA Awards and I asked which straight girl Ruby Rose ended up having a Sappholiciously good time with, and then added that my money was on Vanessa Amorosi being the lucky lass on the receiving end of a pash from the MTV host? I was just kidding!
I only mentioned Vanessa in the first place because she was the person who came immediately to mind when I put the words “tattoos” and “pop singer” in my Very Special Mental Database Of Worthless Popculture Knowledge, but if tabloid reports are indeed correct, it turns out I am more in sync with Ruby Rose’s taste in women than I ever imagined..
Melbourne girls, songbird Vanessa Amorosi and VJ Ruby Rose, were spied snogging at the post-ARIAs shindig.

Oh, SNAP! Madonna Taunts Her Soon-To-Be-Ex Husband By Making Vaguely Controversial Clothing Choices For Their Offspring
9:19AM Jess McGuire | The Daily Mail breathlessly reports that Madonna has delivered a couture slap to the face to former lover Guy Ritchie by deciding to dress their son in Yankees themed gear during a recent visit to a New York play centre.
“Surely she’s simply embracing a well-known local sports team?!”
Oh, dear sweet innocent reader. Have you forgotten the gentleman rumoured to be Madonna’s new love interest, a baseball player named Alex Rodriguez? Who happens to play for – GASP – the New York Yankees?

We Can Only Hope Kerry O’Brien Does Something Similar To This In The Near Future
8:22AM Jess McGuire | A slip of the tongue can be a terrible thing at the best of times. We’ve all experienced a moment where we’ve accidentally stumbled on our words and eventually muttered something we regretted, but thankfully those incidents – well, as far as I know – haven’t been captured on camera during a live broadcast, and then happily spread across the internet for the amusement of folks around the world.
Take a moment then to pity CNN reporter Kyra Phillips then, who unfortunately for her did have her embarrassing gaffe occur on live television. And as far as stumbling on your words goes, this is a bit of a corker.
Hey, “contributor” is hard to spit out sometimes – that first bit is so deliciously easy to repeat. You need to see the video after the jump, and pray to the news gods that something very much like it happens on The 7:30 Report sooner rather than later. More »
