Nice moves, Wes! More » 
YouTube Clip Of The Day
3:14PM Jess McGuire | Good morning, Klaus!
My old housemate John sent me this clip, saying “This takes a few minutes before the TOTALLY GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE BEGINS. Germans take their forklift safety videos seriously.”
It pretty much kicks off after 3:40… More » The Biggest Loser Folks Are Moving House
2:51PM Jess McGuire | Warringah Council has given the folks from The Biggest Loser the big heave-ho, deciding that both the noise and the smell of the Channel Ten production is simply too much for nearby residents to handle.
The Biggest Loser reality television fat-camp has been turfed from its location in an exclusive northern Sydney suburb.

Looks Like The “Dancing Without Pants” Defence Worked For Todd McKenney!
1:36PM Jess McGuire | While Defamer Australia knew Todd McKenney was innocent of any wrongdoing after the incident earlier this year which saw the Dancing With The Stars judge discovered unconscious in a park with over $400 worth of GHB in his pocket, it’s nice to finally see the legal system follow our lead.
A drugs charge against Dancing With The Stars judge Todd McKenney has been dropped, New South Wales Police confirmed today.
McKenney had previously indicated he would plead not guilty to one count of possessing the illicit drug GHB.

11:21AM Jess McGuire | I don’t know whether I’m just weary of Australian Idol because we’re nearing the end of this year’s series or because the franchise itself has outstayed its welcome, but it’s getting harder and harder to tune in on a Sunday night and defend my choice of program to my housemates.
That said, what can go wrong when you’ve got an international star like Jermaine Jackson appearing on the show, huh? And all the contestants are singing Michael Jackson hits? And every promo for the show features James Mathieson grabbing at his crotch? Nothing! Nothing can go wrong! Everyone’s a winner!
I made some notes during the show, and I will reproduce them for you after the jump. More » 
Sarah Palin Gets Pranked!
6:06AM Jess McGuire | It won’t be long before the world discovers whether 2008 comedy sensation Sarah Palin will actually end up being vice president of the United States. If she does succeed in her plan to bring her folksy goodness to Washington, expect an outpouring of tears from left-leaning showbiz types, and at least four years worth of inspiration for American sketch show stars. But if she doesn’t? We need to make the most of her now before she scoots off back to Wasilla to shoot wildlife and tend to her intriguingly named brood of children.
Thanks to some French-Canadian pranksters, we can squeeze at least one last belly laugh out of Palin’s adorably clueless ways before her time in the international spotlight ends – although if she does end up victorious on November 4th, the following story may cause concern.
Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin yesterday was the victim of a prank phone call by a French-Canadian comedian impersonating French President Nicolas Sarkozy. After Ms Palin realized the call was a hoax, her campaign staff admitted she was “mildly amused.”
Mildly amused? She certainly doesn’t sound it once the pranksters own up at the end of the audio clip. You can just imagine how thoroughly abused the staffer who let this call slip through to the keeper was once the call was terminated. More »
