Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s New Video Clip
5:08PM Jess McGuire | Ladies and gentlemen,
I was recently asked what I thought of the latest music video from The Bass. I have some thoughts, but I’d like yours as well.
What do you reckon? Hotness? Better than the Young Divas? Should Kylie be worried? More » 
Good Charlotte Confused As To Why They’ve Never Been Asked To Play At The Big Day Out
1:58PM Jess McGuire | Newly single Benji Madden recently talked to New Zealand’s Sunday Times about the fact his band Good Charlotte have never been asked to join the Big Day Out tour.
“The guy who runs Big Day Out doesn’t like us for some reason I don’t even know why,” Benji told Sunday News.
“We do all the other festivals and we enquired about it. Who knows maybe he’ll eventually crack, but maybe not. We’re just going to keep knocking on his door late at night saying, `Come on dude!”‘
Hopefully the door remains unanswered. Because Good Charlotte are shit.
Benji continues to open up about his time with Paris Hilton… More » 
YouTube Knows Defamer Australia So Well…
1:14PM Jess McGuire | This just came up as a ‘Recommended For You’ clip on our YouTube home page. It’s described as “Voici un vidéo sur la magnifique histoire d’amour de…” which I think is French for “Assorted pictures of Celine Dion with some old dude.”
I also love this comment:

Australian Idol: How The Wes Was Won
11:59AM Jess McGuire | It’s taken me quite some time to compose myself after the excitement that was last night’s Australian Idol finale. The songs! The fireworks! The crowd! The rain! Truly magical stuff.
The press are reporting that the winner of Australian Idol 2008 was Wes Carr, but I would beg to differ. The real winner was music.
Sydney boy Wes Carr has beaten shearer Luke Dickens to become the sixth Australian Idol. “I’m speechless,” Carr said after the win.
It should be noted that Wes Carr was not actually speechless, having written a long list of thank yous on the back of his lyrics to Rattlin’ Bones which he gleefully read out after his win was announced. Personally, I began hoping for an orchestra to drown him out, Oscars style, and I actually like Wes!
Carr wins a recording deal with Sony, a car and $200,000 towards developing his craft. The win has been a long time coming for Michael Jackson fan Carr, who has been honing his craft through live performances from the age of 14. In 2003 Carr joined band Tambalane, a side project of Gillies’ after Silverchair went into hiatus. But the venture didn’t last.
Who’s laughing now, Gillies? Well, probably you. But still.

Gordon Ramsay Cheats On His Missus With A ‘Professional Mistress’
10:04AM Jess McGuire | When it comes to the world of celebrity, it takes a lot for a story to make my jaw drop, but that’s exactly what happened today when I read News Of The World and learned that Gordon Ramsay has been cheating on his missus!
Now I understand relationships are complicated beasts, and the only people who truly know what’s going on in a relationship are the folks in the relationship, but from my distant position as a viewer of Ramsay’s television show and as someone who had read interviews where he and his wife spoke at length about their love, news that Gordon might have a bit on the side has come as a bit of a shock.
Which goes to show I need to f***ing get a f***ing life, desperately, and stop f***ing caring about f***ing Gordon Ramsay’s f***ing marriage. Onwards we go!
TV chef Gordon Ramsay is cheating on his devoted wife Tana, the News of the World can reveal. The F-Word star–who revels in his family man image–began his affair with blonde Sarah Symonds seven years ago.
My heart is quietly breaking as I realise the F-word was never food, family, or fidelity, but rather FORNICATION WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOUR SPOUSE. Meanwhile, let’s learn more. More »
