Vanessa Amorosi Is No Actress

12:42PM Jess McGuire | Or so the Melbourne underworld’s favourite warbler claims – she’s apparently responded to rumours she’s planning on treading the boards. And I think this public denial is a great thing. It’ll put people’s minds at ease. I don’t know about you, but I’m unable to walk the streets without being accosted by concerned strangers asking me “Could it be? Is the chick who had that hit once during the Olympics – you know, the bird who didn’t pash Ruby Rose – going to appear in some kind of theatrical production I’m unlikely to see or care about in the near future?” CALM DOWN, AUSTRALIA. The Daily Telegraph has the answers. Singer Vanessa Amorosi has scotched rumours she’s going into acting – but thinks it could be fun. I am intrigued. Please tell me more, Daily Telegraph. Your two line online articles make me tingle all over with their brevity. I could – nay, should – learn from you. More »

“Cosima Goes Wild At A Shopping Centre!” Says Lying Commenter

11:13AM Jess McGuire | Talk about a hot tip! We just received the following comment from someone calling themselves “DownatManangal” on an old Cosima DeVito related post, and reading it actually made me guffaw quite loudly this morning. Which is a miracle considering I became A Victim Of Crime TM over the weekend*… I recently saw Cosima play at a shopping center before a lunch time crowd of kids with Downs syndrome.She shared the bill with Coco the clown and Mister figgles and his magic dog fifi. Cosima sang 1 song and when no one clapped she shouted “Im too good for you spastics!” and stormed off stage. The kids did start to applaud her and couldnt stop laughing at her behaviour. Go Cosima! Very funny, you cheeky monkey commenter. I will assume the above is a colourful lie and not a true representation of a typical Cosima DeVito appearance in the suburbs. *On Friday night, someone stole the front wheel of my bike. Annoying! And then, on Saturday night? The bastards came back for the back wheel! I have been informed by those in the know that I was probably targeted by a local gang calling themselves The East Brunny Ballbreakers who have apparently in the midst of a bike-focused rampage, which really just adds insult to injury because it’s pretty much the lamest gang name I’ve ever heard. Damn you, East Brunny Ballbreakers! And thank you, DownatManangal, for cheering me up with your obviously false story! More »

Peaches Geldof Is Apparently Getting Divorced; On The Upside, The Marriage Lasted A Lot Longer Than Anyone Expected

10:09AM Jess McGuire | Remember back in mid-August when Peaches Geldof suddenly ran off and got hitched to some dude named Max Drummey, and everyone was like “Marriage is serious business, it’s not something that should be rushed into with someone you’ve just met – this union won’t even last a month!” Yeah? Well, Peaches and Max proved all the haters wrong. They didn’t just last a month, they lasted several. So suck on that! Peaches Geldof’s marriage to Max Drummey is over after just 96 days, it was claimed today. The troubled teenager reportedly plans to return to England this week to thrash out divorce proceedings with her lawyers. More »

And The Winner Of Dancing With The Stars Is…

8:27AM Jess McGuire | … Home & Away heartthrob Luke Jacobz. I wish I could sound more excited about this latest development in talent-based celebrity television, but I just can’t muster up much energy when it comes to Dancing With The Stars. Yeah, you can dance now… so what? Unless you started the series with no legs and managed to grow them back by sheer will power (and the occasional massage from Sonia Kruger), I’m not totally blown away by the fact you’ve spent weeks training with expert dancers and can now perform a passable waltz in front of an audience of overly excited Channel Seven viewers. But what am I saying?! The show provides Sonia Kruger with a regular television gig, had the good sense to ditch Daryl Somers (Hey, Hey IT’S TIME TO GO HOME NOW DARYL, YOUR TIME IN THE SPOTLIGHT IS WELL AND TRULY OVER), and is responsible for one of the best conversations I’ve ever had with a cab driver. I take it all back! I love Dancing With The Stars with all my heart. Luke Jacobz, you are a winner! A winner is you! Well, you’re as much of a winner as someone who uses a ‘Z’ instead of an ‘S’ in their name can be. What are you, a suburban discount variety store? Ahem. Moving on… Actor Luke Jacobz has seen off the challenge of boxer Danny Green and AFL footballer Paul Licuria to take out Dancing With The Stars for 2008. More »
