6:20PM STV | Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Alec Baldwin in Love Edition! 11/8 — I saw him picking up sushi on Sat. night in the Valley with some really leggy, gorgeous, young looking blonde. They looked like they were on a date. He looked bigger but, happy… Damn I would be happy too, if I had that girl he was with on my arm… She didn’t look famous but like a model, kinda familar. They were talking very intimately and looked like they liked each other a lot… [Guesses?

YouTube Clip Of The Day II

4:19PM Jess McGuire | If you’re like me and work from home, you may like spending your lunch times watching the ladies on The View bantering happily. And then, if things are going well, you stick around on Channel Nine for some Ellen magic. And if you’re still like me, you watch the excessive dancing by the host and audience members and exclaim numerous times out loud to your dog “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM? WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS? MAKE THEM STOP” Here’s a man in the crowd whose face sums up those emotions. His name is Zach Galifianakis and he is my future husband. More »

Boyzone Party Hard In Melbourne

12:37PM Jess McGuire | Reet reet reet! Another urgent bulletin from the Two Day Old News TM team – Boyzone were in town over the weekend and apparently kicked up their heels quite happily at a couple of Melbourne bars! Blast-from-the-past boy band Boyzone are in town and some of them were quick to hit the Melbourne nightclub scene on Saturday night. They dropped into Chapel St bar White Charlie for a “few quiet drinks” before seeing out the early hours in club 161. We hear the boys were more than happy to pose for snaps with the fans, and mingled with the crowd until about 3am before moving down the road to 161. Way to party hard, you mad Irish bastards! To celebrate the existence of Boyzone, please look after the jump for a mind-bogglingly appalling video clip! More »

When Cosmetic Surgery Addiction Goes Bad…

11:21AM Jess McGuire | You know, I’m sure there’s a point for every addict where you catch yourself doing something so strange and bizarre that you suddenly realise “I’ve probably hit rock bottom” and seek help. Helpful hint for plastic surgery addicts then – if you’re about to inject cooking oil into your face, IT IS TIME TO STEP AWAY FROM THE MIRROR AND TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL. A woman addicted to cosmetic surgery is unrecognisable after injecting cooking oil into her face. The Daily Telegraph in London reports Korean woman Hang Mioku, 48, had her first cosmetic surgery procedure at 28 and was hooked, moving to Japan for more. More »

Chris Lilley Also Popular In Canada!

9:42AM Jess McGuire | My favourite Canadian in the world, a lovely lass named Rylee who you probably won’t ever meet and your life will be the poorer for it, sent me a link last night to an article on a Canadian news site about Chris Lilley and Summer Heights High. If you thought the Yanks were soiling themselves in excitement, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Chris Lilley has been called the Aussie Ricky Gervais, but frankly, he brings a little more to the party. Lilley is a quadruple threat: a writer, satirist, musician and elastic comic character actor who disappears into his often monstrous, sometimes heartbreaking characterizations with Peter Sellers-like ease. In fact, when it comes to stirring up controversy, Lilley gives Sacha Baron Cohen a run for his money. Hooray for HBO, then, because the Aussie star is coming to America: Lilley’s provocative series Summer Heights High makes its North American debut on Nov. 9. Better than Ricky Gervais? Oh, do go on!

YouTube Clip Of The Day

8:46AM Jess McGuire | I feel dreadful for being so forgetful, but I truly cannot recall whether I’ve ever showed you this clip before! The theme song of the radio show I do on Melbourne’s RRR is called “I’d Rather Jack” – it’s a Stock Aitken Waterman classic which sooks about the fact radio isn’t playing, erm, Stock Aitken Waterman tracks. That’s not what makes it special though. Check out the Reynolds girls. THESE TWO BITCHES JUST DON’T STOP DANCING! Amazing. More »

Raffaello Follieri Disappointed To Find Prison Not Up to His Lavish, Vatican-Financed Standards

8:38AM Kyle Buchanan | As though it wasn’t bad enough that Raffaello Follieri’s ex, Anne Hathaway, is now being wooed by some common actor, the Vatican-swindling Follieri has been forced to deal with another unpleasant surprise: prison is totally gross! Currently serving out a four-and-a-half-year sentence devoid of flashbulbs and fast cars paid for with Becoming Jane money, Follieri’s lawyer is now attempting to get the con man moved to someplace a little more minimum security. Marvel at Follieri’s sad, sad description of prison life: More »

Canada: Your Friendly, ‘Dexter’-Obsessed, Decapitating Psychopaths To The North!

8:12AM Seth | You’ll have to forgive us for being a little too preoccupied with events going on in our own backyards and stateside to notice what’s been going on lately up in Canada. Let’s see: last we checked in, a Chinese immigrant on a Greyhound bus that boarded in Edmonton had decapitated and cannibalised another passenger on a desolate stretch of highway—definitely one of those instances where all the universal health care in the world isn’t really going to do much good. Now comes news of a Dexter-obsessed, suspected serial killer living in the same bloodcicle wasteland, named Mark Andrew Twitchell. More »

Shocking GOP Report Exposes Hollywood’s Godless, Christ-Hating Elite

8:02AM STV | While we think this town is probably big enough for both of us, we admit that the right-wing outlet Newsmax spooks us a little with its encroaching “celebrity heathen” beat. The coverage is perhaps best exemplified today by the feature “Hollywood’s Top 10 Atheists,” a bracing survey of Angelina Jolie, Keanu Reeves, Woody Allen and few other wretched infidels whose names might even surprise you.

7:40AM STV | David Fincher Practices His Oscar Speech: “It was like getting my first rim job,” the director reportedly explained Monday night when asked about his experience making Benjamin Button. Somewhere on the Paramount lot, meanwhile, Fincher champion and big spender Brad Grey raced to brush a funny taste out of his mouth. [The Hot Blog] More »
