Relax, World – Lindsay Lohan And Samantha Ronson Are Still Together

3:36PM Jess McGuire | Our American counterparts excitedly wrote this morning about how Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson had split up. Their source? The hardcore journalists over at Access Hollywood. Personally, I didn’t believe it for a moment. Because if there’s one thing I know for certain in this crazy mixed up world, it’s that Lindsay Lohan would announce that kind of shit on her MySpazz blog, where she has revealed almost every other feeling she’s had over the past few months. And that’s why I love her. I patiently awaited a denial from LiLo, and sure enough – it’s just come through now. From a Lindsay Lohan’s MySpazz blog post called “RUMORS” : More »

Troubling Katy Perry Related Post Of The Day #2

3:16PM Jess McGuire | You knew there was going to be a follow up to this, didn’t you? I like to think there’s sort of an unspoken pact between us, dear reader. For my part, I promise to rustle myself out of bed each day and trawl the internet for stupid stories that I hope you’ll find somewhat amusing. Occasionally I’ll share with you my favourite things, like the Australian internet version of Oprah (where’s my Stedman/Gayle? Sigh…), and from time to time I’ll tell you that I hate something with a red hot passion and declare it to be 100% rubbish that was in all likelihood produced by Satan’s loins. And no matter what I’m telling you, you know it’s coming from my heart, from a place of truth and honesty. And it is with that pact in mind that I must update you all on my feelings about Katy Perry. Oh, god… Oh, god… This is harder than I thought… More »

Letter From The Editor/HOT NUDE PICS

1:46PM Jess McGuire | Good afternoon, devastatingly attractive readers. Do you remember back in November when I was all “Oh hey, there’s this competition and you can nominate people for like, Best Australian Blog and heaps of other stuff!” and then I played it reeeeeaaaaal smooth and coy, and sort of went “Maybe you should vote for Gizmodo AU or any of our other great sibling sites?” but secretly I was hoping you’d nominate Defamer Australia for something, anything, thus vaguely justifying my existence to my superiors? Well, some of you DID nominate Defamer Australia for assorted things, and strangely enough we now find ourselves going head to head with the likes of the almighty D-Listed AND Perez Hilton AND The Superficial AND heaps of other giant blogs. ARE YOU SURE IT’S NOT THE AMERICAN DEFAMER WHO IS UP FOR THIS EXTREMELY GLAMOROUS PRIZE? Dude, I know what you mean. I checked – Santa stylez (twice). It’s really little ol’ Defamer Australia up there against the big guns. Think of this competition as the Melbourne Cup, and running alongside the track is a three legged dog which was hit by a car a few months beforehand and has never been quite right in the head since and actually thinks it’s a horse, and even though it has no chance of catching up to the thoroughbreds, it just keeps on running… stupidly… occasionally tripping and stopping to eat the grass in a confused manner. DEFAMER AUSTRALIA IS THAT RETARDED THREE LEGGED DOG. Anyway. I dare say we’re going to get rudely fisted by Perez Hilton, but ideally I’d like to reduce that to an impolite fingering. So if you have literally twenty seconds (honestly, reading all of these carefully put together words was way harder than the actual voting process) then please go here: BEST GOSSIP BLOG - and vote for Defamer Australia. My bosses would really like it if you did, and I’m hoping that not coming last will give me some kind of geek cred. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN EXCHANGE THAT FOR SECOND LIFE DOLLARS!!!! LOL TOTEZ!!!! Thanks. Now let’s get back to pop culture nonsense around these parts. x PS: My friend Ryan just put it beautifully – “you’re losing pretty hard, but I did my bit!” I can’t tell you how many lovers have said similar things to me. PPS: Here are your hot nude pics. PPPS: OH! And Gizmodo AU is up for Best Australian Blog – as is Clem “Clam Bestof” Bastow’s ladyblog The Dawn Chorus! Vote for either/both of them here. More »

Troubling Katy Perry Related Post Of The Day #1

11:55AM Jess McGuire | People, people, people… you know me better than anyone, truly you do. Which means you are well aware of my total hate of Katy Perry and everything she stands for. As you can imagine then, what I’m about to say is very difficult. I admire Katy Perry for something. Katy Perry and her lover Travis McCoy have ended their romance and, for once, it had nothing to do with either of them kissing a girl. “It’s sad, but they were fighting a lot because they never saw each other and now she is going on tour. She just needed a clear head. It’s been non-stop work for her,” a source told Us magazine. Gym Class Heroes are rubbish. And here’s why I admire her. More »

Paul Harragon Leaves The Footy Show

10:50AM Jess McGuire | It’s beginning to look as though any ball-kicking related show, regardless of the code they happen to follow, will be getting a makeover in 2009. Hot on the heels of Trevor Marmalade’s axing from the AFL wing of The Footy Show? Paul Harragon has announced he’s leaving the rugby league version. Radical formatting changes and a makeover of Channel 9’s ailing NRL Footy Show have forced key panellist Paul “The Chief” Harragon to quit. More »

And To Think Some People Complain About Australian Commercial Radio!

9:30AM Jess McGuire | Ladies and gentlemen, here are the songs that were flogged to death on the wireless during the last financial year, according to the adorable sounding Phonographic Performance Company Of Australia, a group I like to imagine is run by a guy who looks like this. Anyway. Let’s see what was rockin’ our radios during the 07/08 financial year, yo! More »

Good News, Australia – Kylie’s Love Life Appears To Be Going From Strength To Strength!

8:21AM Jess McGuire | Good news in the Minogue camp! Our Kylie – a woman whose ability to belt out an awesome pop tune is well documented, as is her tragic inability to hold onto a man and makes babies and find happiness in this world* – has been getting her cougar on, and things appear to be blossoming rather nicely between the warbler and her younger lover. They’re holidaying together! Pop princess Kylie Minogue whisked her new toy-boy lover off to the French Alps for the New Year. The singer, 40, jetted to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc for a snowboarding break with Andres Velencoso Segura, 30. Let’s allow an anonymous source to speak for our great nation, eh? More »
