Who On Earth Could This Blind Item Be About?
3:51PM Jess McGuire | From the latest Popbitch newsletter…
Which irritating celebrity offspring has been
exploring her rock ‘n roll side by enjoying
a fruity evening in New York with a double-
penetration session from her beau and his
surprised-to-be-so-lucky mate?
God, I wish I could think of just one rock and roll progeny with a fruity name who just moved to the States, possibly with her new American musician husband… then maybe I could figure out who Popbitch are referring to!
Sadly, it’s just not to be :( More » 
Bob Dylan Excites New Zealanders By Not Being Seen On Holidays In New Zealand
3:10PM Jess McGuire | God bless New Zealand. As some of you may be aware, I’ve got quite the affection for the land of the long white cloud. Lovely people, stunning scenery, cold weather… heaven! Well, for me anyway. And while I try to figure out how on earth and when I’m going to get over there again (and can one walk across New Zealand once they get there, do you think?), I try to sate my Kiwi desires by perusing their publications online and revelling in their local news.
And the following article from a local paper about Bob Dylan not being spotted by anyone in New Zealand pretty much made my day, and had me wishing that the country itself were actually a small cherubic child whose cheeks I could squeeze and whose hair I could ruffle.
The Marlborough Sounds are beautiful, and wouldn’t it be great to share them with celebrities trying to holiday in privacy? Well, that may be the case. Rumours suggest that both Bob Dylan and Shania Twain have separately been spending time in the Sounds.
What follows is an epic tale of absolutely no one having any evidence whatsoever that Bob Dylan is holidaying at The Marlborough Sounds. More » 
YouTube Clip Of The Day
2:16PM Jess McGuire | You can sort of tell what’s coming in this clip, but it’s still delightfully gutting.
“Awww jeeez, Brian – I don’t know what to say!”

Kaz James And Paris Hilton – Together At Last!
1:46PM Jess McGuire | Do you all remember Kaz James? He was in BodyRockers, whose infuriating “I Like The Way (You Move)” was played to death on the radio a few years back. I believe he may be something of a pantsman, but I cannot confirm.
Moving on. One of Kaz James’ “people” sent me an email with a picture of Kaz hanging out with Paris Hilton! And even better, they helpfully wrote the copy for me to use – THANKS FOR DOING MY JOB FOR ME, GUYS!
If I hadn’t mentioned anything, I’ve no doubt you would have believed I’d enthusiastically penned the following tribute to Kaz, Paris, Kaz’s solo career, and his upcoming single.
Kaz caught up with Paris at an intimate dinner at Otto restaurant in Woolloomooloo ahead of his DJ set at the Bongo Virus NYE party in Sydney, hosted by Paris Hilton.

Let’s Take A Moment To Pay Tribute To The Humble Esky
12:34PM Jess McGuire | Not only does this wonderful cooling device keep our beers perfectly chilled during picnics on hot summer days, but it also helped save the day during Jimmy Barnes’ Boxing Day bash.
Let’s allow Sydney Confidential to tell us more.
More » Not To Dwell On The Subject Or Anything…
11:49AM Jess McGuire | I know I promised to give the topic of Beyonce’s Single Ladies a rest, and I swear to you I’m not about to pop another clip of someone dancing to it up here or anything, but I did want to point out that Defamer Australia is obviously not the only one with Single Ladies choreography on the brain.
Beyonce’s latest hit, Single Ladies, has stormed the Australian charts over the holiday period, but did you know that the video for the song was based around a viral YouTube clip? Check out the remix of this old America TV dance routine below.

Mercedes Corby Was Paid HOW MUCH To Strip Off?
11:05AM Jess McGuire | When photos first emerged of Mercedes Corby’s spread (so to speak) for lads magazine Ralph, Defamer Australia decided to focus mostly on the pre-photo shoot wisdom of sister Schapelle. I do hope you’re all remembering to spend some time each morning standing in front of the mirror and repeating the inspiring mantra “Get a tan! Just be confident!” over and over until you’re sufficiently pumped for the day, by they way.
But now, albeit reluctantly, I must actually focus on the Mercedes part of the whole story, because the Daily Telegraph have reported how much she was paid to strip off. While some might cruelly suggest Mercedes looked more like one of People magazine’s Home Girls and therefore her time as a glamour model probably warranted a payment of $50 and a meat pie, the folks at Ralph would be forced to disagree with you…
BECAUSE GUESS HOW MUCH THEY PAID HER? More » 
Free-Spirted Isabel Lucas Has Found Love Once More!
10:11AM Jess McGuire | I have quite a soft spot for Isabel Lucas because I once clutched her Logie and made pretend speeches to a minuscule audience whilst looking extremely emotional. She wasn’t there, mind you, so it can’t really be considered a brush with free-spirited fame. But it has resulted in Defamer Australia following her movements quite closely and with a fair amount of affection.
So imagine how stoked I was to hear that she’s rumoured to have moved on from Adrian Grenier (I suppose with some time and perspective, back alley love suddenly doesn’t seem so appealing) and found love in the arms of the rather adorable Joel Edgerton!
Reports the Daily Telegraph:
They may have wrapped their latest film The Waiting Game in India last month but Joel Edgerton and Isabel Lucas still can’t seem to get enough of each other.
Oh really? Do go on.

Letter From The Editor
9:06AM Jess McGuire | Good morning, you gorgeous thing!
How’s tricks? I just wanted to say sorry for the fact yesterday was rather quiet around here, save for Bank of America employees destroying U2’s ‘One’ and a collection of clips featuring people dancing to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”.
I have a good excuse though! I had to BUILD MYSELF AN OFFICE (dudes, this involved hammers and nails and screwdrivers and a confusing piece of paper with instructions that included “tap tap” next to a picture of a nail but then voila, several hours later a desk appeared in my room) for my BRAND NEW COMPUTER (which I will be paying off until the end of time with a pound of flesh each month).
I am pretty much as excited as this kid -
- or any of the other somewhat annoying screamy children showing off for the camera on Christmas Day who have gone on to become “hits” on YouTube at the moment.
This is a good thing for you, people, because no longer must I battle daily with a computer that turns itself off whenever it feels like it/restarts apropos of nothing/decides that YouTube is forbidden/cuts out sound sporadically/takes as thousand years to do anything/has a mouse that moves in the opposite direction to where I’m trying to direct it making me frustrated to the point of tears (and also, suddenly fearful of ever developing Parkinsons)/generally fists itself for a lark.
NOW I CAN JUST GIVE YOU GOODNESS! ALL THE TIME!
Speaking of goodness, see what our clever tech fellows put on the bottom left hand corner of the screen? A wee button that takes you straight to the voting for Best Gossip Blog at those awards I was telling you about! Thanks to your sweet little clicking, for a very brief moment Defamer Australia actually came within four votes of Perez Hilton. Then America woke up and began voting, and the humiliation began. But we’re the only Australian site in that category so get patriotic and vote (it takes two seconds) – and remember, you can do it once a day.
Alright, I have a lot of writing to do for you so I’m gonna go now. But know you’ll forever be in my heart.
