Pony Face – “Warning Bell”
2:50PM Jess McGuire | Allow me to give you a heads up on a rather great musical ensemble because I am very nice and I live to give.
Pony Face – they used to be known as Gift Horse, clearly they’ve got a thing for all things equine related – are a Melbourne band made up of Simon Bailey (The Morning Birds), Anth Dymke (The Morning Birds, Luxum), Kris Emond (Soteria Bell), and Damian FitzGerald (Underwaterman, Pandora).
And now you’re aware of the line up, it’s now time for me to tell you that they are fantastic. I’ve caught them live around the traps a couple of times, and every time I’ve ended up completely enthralled by the beautiful, haunting music they effortlessly belt out on stage. And you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Damian FitzGerald deliver a blistering theramin solo – it’ll blow your mind.
But don’t listen to me, listen to the words of people who matter! Cut and pasted from the press release!

And Exactly Where Is This Young Lady’s Hand Resting?
12:18PM Jess McGuire | Sure, Bono’s gained a little publicity over the last week after pictures emerged of him partying with two young lasses – neither of whom go by the name “Mrs Bono” – but the photos themselves were fairly tame if you ask me. A couple of hotties charitably hugging some middle aged dudes, really.
BORING!
Let’s rejoice then in this fantastic moment in image cropping brought to you by the folks from Fairfax. I like that it now looks as though the naughty girl in question is gripping Bono’s cock.

YouTube Clip Of The Day
11:46AM Jess McGuire | I enjoyed this very much, although I suspect “The Caucasian Clap” shouldn’t have made me laugh half as hard as it did…
Bravo, readers. Keep those suggestions for YouTube Clip Of The Day coming in! More » Your ‘Barack Obama Show’ Episode 1 Recap
11:21AM Seth | Can’t wait ’til 8 to find out what happens in The Barack Obama Show? Wonkette liveblogged the entire thing, including the surprise twist that he [SPOILER ALERT!] is actually God and is fucking Sarah Silverman! Self-professed stalker and balls-addict The Blazing Shark details her ongoing e-mail exchanges with a cute TV actor she desperately wanted to de-pant. [via LAist] Over a year later, Mel Brooks comes crawling back to Cloris on his hands and knees. Delicious vindication! The Beatles have licensed their music to Rock Band, thereby rendering the video game our neighbours have driven us insane with over the past eight months bigger than Jesus by association. Hey—Obamicorns! More »Ladies, Gird Your Loins…
9:39AM Jess McGuire | Why should women of this fine country begin protecting their “special places”? Because television spunk (and well-known lover of Australian women) Adrian Grenier is apparently heading to our girt-bordered shores for New Years Eve, according to the Daily Telegraph. Prepare to be wooed, bitches of Oz!
Hunky actor and one 100 per cent a lady’s man, Adrian Grenier, is heading back Down Under once gain.
More » PooGate ‘08: It Might Be An Idea To Skip Dessert If You’re At The Coogee Bay Hotel
8:48AM Jess McGuire | It may seem surprising to regular viewers that Defamer Australia hasn’t been covering the story of the fecal-flavoured gelato allegedly being served up at Sydney establishment The Coogee Bay Hotel. To be honest, I’ve been following it in my own time, but sometimes a story seems so unreal, it renders me speechless. But I would be remiss as a “journalist” to not mention it at all on this site, an online safe haven for poor taste poo (< -- ZING!) jokes and other immature things.
Let's assume you've been living in a cave and are completely unaware of the sordid surprise left in a bowl at a pub. Basically, there's a family out there accusing staff of The Coogee Bay Hotel of popping (plopping?) some human dung in their dessert. The hotel, naturally fearing backlash if word spread their menu contained elements of bottom waste, denied the entire thing and claimed tests had proven the gelato in question contained only delicious - if not slightly smelly - bits o' chocolate. Yum!
The folks who were served up the poo didn't believe them, and separate tests have concluded that yes, their after dinner delight really did contain bum deposits.
A food sample supplied by a family who allege they were served gelato laced with frozen faeces at a Sydney hotel has tested positive for faecal matter.
YUM! Hope you’ve had your breakfast already! More » 
Which TV Network Chief Had His Wife Rent Michael Phelps?
8:31AM Kyle Buchanan | When we speculated about a future in TV for Olympian Michael Phelps, we thought it might involve, at most, a Screech-toplined movie of the week (along with the obligatory SNL stint). Imagine our surprise, then, when Page Six told us today that Phelps has embarked upon a second career in Los Angeles: renting himself out to satisfy Hollywood wives! WE HEAR…that Olympic hero Michael Phelps – besides banking a bundle from endorsements – picked up $US100,000 for appearing at an LA pool party for a TV network chief’s wife and swimming some laps. Which chief? Wanton speculation, after the jump: More »

8:25AM STV | Halloween Week continues now at Defamer, where our latest dynamite holiday suggestion is not for faint of heart. Not necessarily for its ghoulish qualities, but rather for the adrenaline that accompanies living in this dreamboat’s body — starring in blockbuster after blockbuster, opposite one scorching leading lady after another, and, of course, raising hell in drugstores and traffic intersections all over America.

‘Barack Obama Show’ Preview Reveals Just Another Lousy Political Ad
8:20AM STV | Within minutes of this post’s publication on the East Coast, the Barack Obama infomercial American Stories American Solutions — formerly known as Hole in the Wall: Election Edition — will premiere on NBC, CBS, and FOX. The procrastinators at the Obama campaign waited until this afternoon to unveil the official spot promoting the 30-minute ad, supplying what we think is the first-ever commercial for a commercial in electoral history. As with most mediocre trailers, we imagine that once you’ve seen this, you don’t need to see the rest (hint: talking candidate, stirring music), but you be the judge after the jump: More »
