Stephanie Rice’s Champion Fashion Faux Pas

1:48PM Jess McGuire | Last night I received the following email from reader Carol. “I thought maybe you could use these pictures for a comparison as to who looked better. The blonde is Sonia Kruger from Dancing with the Stars. The brunette is our Stephanie Rice – Olympic Swimming Star and now with Ch 7. Maybe it’s the same dress as both women work with the same network. Sonia wore it to the Ladies Lunch on the Wednesday and Stephanie wore it to The Oakes today. I copied the pictures from today’s Herald Sun.” It does indeed seem as though Sonia and Stephanie have similar taste in couture. And it also seems as though you’re psychically in sync with the Confidential gang in Sydney, Carol – only two hours after you sent me your email, they wrote a piece about this very topic! She has not made many wrong moves in the pool but Stephanie Rice’s dip into racewear at Oaks Day in Melbourne yesterday proved to be no gold medal performance More »

Harold Bishop Looking Forward To Breaking The Cycle Of Abuse

12:36PM Jess McGuire | While Neighbours fans will be mourning the loss of Ian Smith, the bespectacled heartthrob of Ramsay Street who has been playing the role of Harold Bishop since before World War II, the man himself is looking forward to getting the hell out of Dodge… and by “Dodge”, I obviously mean “Erinsborough”.

S Club 7 Are Getting Back Together!

11:34AM Jess McGuire | Oh happy day, fans of cheaply manufactured but highly successful pop songs of the late nineties/early noughties! S Club 7, the British chart sensations who were a bit like Steps except younger and not force fed amyl, have decided to reunite in an effort to scrape together some coins! Oh, this’ll be just like the recent Spice Girls come back, only with fewer people caring. Did I mention that essentially it’s only going to be S Club 3? Pop band S Club 7 are reforming – minus four of their original members. While their former bandmates – including Rachel Stevens, currently starring on Strictly Come Dancing – have gone on to form successful careers outside of the group, Jo O’Meara, Bradley McIntosh and Paul Cattermole have not. Now they are planning to reunite for a tour of nightclubs and universities, earning £3,000 per 20-minute set, it was claimed today. More »

Will Smith Squanders Chance At ‘Legal Cheating’

11:00AM STV | Today on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Will Smith joined Seven Pounds co-star Rosario Dawson to describe losing his movie-sex virginity. Shocker: It sounds like he enjoyed it! Now this is a protest: Melissa Etheridge said today she’ll cease paying state taxes until Proposition 8 is repealed. Flopz, Guy, Flopz™: Madonna’s directorial debut Filth and Wisdom has made only $US18,000 since opening Oct. 17 in New York. A $US1,000, Leo DiCaprio-signed VHS copy of Titanic is just one of the many treasures that can be yours in the upcoming backruptcy auction of Dana Giacchetto, disgraced “Financial Adviser to the Stars.” If you had Nick for the win in your “First Jonas Brother to Knock Someone Up” pool, his ex regrets to inform you that you missed it by that much.

Blind Item: Which TV Cast Is Full Of Narcissist Fruitcakes Who Can’t Stand Each Other?

9:46AM Seth | It’s time now for everyone’s favourite midday mini-mystery, aka a blind item guessing game. Today’s comes to us from EW’s Michael Ausiello, who broke the Grey’s Anatomy CallicaGate story, and so who knows from TV set histrionics. On this particular “sophomore drama,” “all the stars have the disposition of Linda Blair pre-exorcism.” Each actor is crazier than the next,” whispers a staffer employed behind the scenes at the war-torn program. “And they all pretty much hate each other.” More »

9:16AM Kyle Buchanan | Why So Audacious?

David Archuleta Caught In Crossfire Between Mormon Church And 98% Of His Fanbase

8:56AM Seth | We find ourselves absentmindedly doodling pictures of littlest karaoke soldier David Archuleta in the margins of our publishing software, wiling away these final days until his totally-going-to-blow-Cook-out-of-the-water debut LP drops. But listen, Archie—our little shaved koala, our 300-lb. gospel powerhouse in the body of a 17-year-old Mormon twink—the times, they are a-changin’, but not a-quite fast enough. You’ve already begun to do your part, releasing a catchy single called “Crush” whose video remains titillatingly unspecific about which of the several boys splashing around in a lake you secretly want to take Christmas Tree shopping. But things are escalating. More »
