4:22PM Jess McGuire | But given how I feel about him, you can imagine that the following clip made me all giddy and I think it’s going to affect my dreams somewhat. More »

YouTube Clip Of The Day

3:13PM Jess McGuire | If you’ve recently listed “Wanton destruction of soft drinks on pallets in foreign factory” to your list of Facebook interests recently, well – have I got a treat for you! The excited factory worker who leaps in front of the camera at the 0.58 second mark makes the video, as far as I’m concerned. More »

Nice Work, The Age!

1:33PM Jess McGuire | Wow! Some top stuff from The Age’s front page yesterday. The following heinous use of an apostrophe was noted by my clever clogs chum Fluffy, who uploaded this image to the awesome Facebook group Apostrophes Make Things Possessive, Not Plural. Slow hand claps all round… (And now that I’ve done this, you’ll suddenly begin noticing – if you haven’t already – my evil molesting of grammar and inappropriate use of punctuation, and feel totally stabby whenever I make a really obvious mistake. But I’m not a real journalist! I’m just a small town girl, living in a lonely world!) UPDATE: It’s not the “Hero’s” bit we’re worried about, kittens – it’s the “event’s” bit in the small print at the bottom. More »

Who Is Antonia Kidman Dating?

11:30AM Jess McGuire | No really, we need to know! Because the Daily Telegraph have a photo of the newly single Antonia Kidman (well, not newly I suppose… it’s been roughly a year and a half, which is forever in celebrity years) having coffee with a new fellow, and they’re having trouble identifying the mysterious blonde man in question! Snapped on the eve of her famous sister’s film opening last night, (Antonia) has been quietly playing out the latest act in her own romantic life as one of Sydney’s most eligible women. While the TV favourite declined to detail just who she was caught gazing at on this coffee date over the weekend, an insider told Confidential she was “happily single again”. WELL THAT FLAT WHITE SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU SAYS YOU’RE A GODDAMN LIAR, KIDMAN! More »

Melissa George Is Perfectly Okay With Her Latest Lady Loving Role

9:40AM Jess McGuire | It seems like just yesterday Angel was capturing the eye of Shane for the first time while Frente played at the Surf Club, but in actual fact it’s been about three hundred years and Melissa George has come a long way since her break out role on Home & Away. She’s joined the cast of Grey’s Anatomy where she’ll be portraying a bi-sexual hospital type who catches the eye of Callie, and Melissa has informed reporters she’s totally cool with “going there” with another actress. And why wouldn’t she be? It’s not the first time. The former Home And Away star plays a bisexual surgical intern, Sadie, the potential love interest for lesbian medic Callie Torres. More »

Russell Brand Loves Air Sex…

8:37AM Jess McGuire | I realise Russell Brand is a cheeky sexy monkey with a notorious libido, but I cannot help but feel the following news story is completely made up. After all, why would Russell become obsessed with something called “air sex” when there are thousands of ladies around the globe who would happily offer their receptacle services? Russell Brand has reportedly become obsessed with ‘air sex’. The British comic has taken to the Japanese craze which sees fully clothed men simulating sex with an imaginary partner, often in an exaggerated way, and in competitions. So basically Russell Brand’s spending his spare time humping aimlessly at nothing at all? Suuuuuure. Let’s learn more about “air sex”, shall we? More »

World’s Worst Publicist Gets Client Tossed From Thanksgiving Day Parade

8:30AM STV | Update time! Last week we introduced you to Jonathan Jaxson, the incompetent publicist/Perez-sexing gossip who went spectacularly public with the worst PR strategy in the history of flackdom: Start a nude-photo scandal with his Disney-star client Adrienne Bailon. It was bad beyond a reasonable doubt then, and it bottomed out this week when Bailon and her Cheetah Girls cohorts were effectively booted from performing at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

8:30AM Seth | R.I.P. Irving Brecher died Monday at Cedars-Sinai at the age of 94. Not familiar with that name? You’re more than likely familiar with his writing: He wrote Meet Me In St. Louis, Life of Riley, the Marx Brothers’s At the Circus and Go West, and did uncredited punch-up on The Wizard of Oz. From Go West: “S. Quentin Quale: Didn’t we meet at Monte Carlo the night you blew your brains out?” [USA Today] More »

8:15AM Seth | BREAKING: Six of seven CA Supreme Court agreed today to review the legal challenges to Prop 8 brought by married same-sex couples. Until they rule, all further same-sex marriages are suspended, and the status of those already wed remains to be determined. What are the chances they’ll overturn the challenge? Slim, but they have done so in the past: “In 1966, the California Supreme Court struck down an initiative that would have permitted racial discrimination in housing. Voters had approved the measure, a repeal of a fair housing law, by a 2-to-1 margin.” Hang in there, D.L. Hughley—we realise how confusing all of this can be! [LAT] More »
