Competition: Score Yourself A… Something
6:56PM Kym Weathersten | Okay, so the prize is not yet official. Nor has the competition actually started. But since we ran out of ideas for an article we’re such gems here at Defamer, we thought we should give you a heads up… More »
YouTube Clip Of The Day II
2:35PM Jess McGuire | It’s revoltingly hot! Let’s celebrate by having two YouTube Clips Of The Day!
This one is via Crystal’s blog. I would link to it, but my understanding is that such an act would cause a tear in the space-time continuum and then I would be stabbed to death by her readers. SO YOU’LL JUST HAVE TO FIND IT USING YOUR WITS.
As Crystal aptly described the video, “it features three of my favourite things: Dance-offs, break-dancing and mascots.”
You really can’t go wrong, can you? More » 
Lee Ryan, His MySpazz Missus, And Their New Baby Boy
1:32PM Jess McGuire | Do you remember Blue? They were a British boy band who were very successful in the United Kingdom back in the day, and at one point were inexplicably granted permission by the Gods of Music to record the following track with Stevie Wonder.
Lee Ryan was a particularly outspoken member of the group, and is famous for his quote right after 9/11 where he said to journalists “Who gives a fuck about New York when whales and elephants are being killed?” INTERVIEW FAIL.
Oh, and he also released the stirring pacifist anthem “Stand Up As People” where he sang the following lyrics:
When are we gonna stand up as people
Realise that as people were all equal
We don’t want no world war sequel
For the love of god think of the people
- which led to a few people informing Lee that there’s already been a world war sequel, and it’s traditionally known as World War II.
Anyway, Lee is a genius. He has just had a baby with the fiancee he met on MySpazz, and I think you’ll enjoy these quotes from him regarding the naming of his baby as much as I did. More » Hey There, U2 Fans!
12:38PM Jess McGuire | Real U2 fans would be well aware of this fact already, but just in case… Bono and friends are going to be debuting their new song “Get On Your Boots” (also: WTF?) at the Brit Awards, which – as I’m sure you all recall – are going to be hosted by Our Kylie.
Irish rock royals U2 will debut their highly anticipated new song at the upcoming BRIT Awards. The super-band will debut ‘Get On Your Boots’ at the music ceremony, which takes place in London on February 18th.
Defamer Australia’s Dial-A-U2-Guru Elmo Keep is yet to hear the song (apparently all U2 fans are patiently awaiting leaks to hit the web), but when questioned by Your Editor at virtual knife point, she revealed “All I know is that Bono rhymes “submarine” with “gasoline”, and that this knowledge makes me die a little on the inside.”
So there you have it.
MORE: U2 to debut new track More » The Farmer Wants A Wife Is Coming Soon!
11:56AM Jess McGuire | That’s right, folks. Defamer Australia’s favourite reality romance show evs – any program which makes stars of men who train their dogs to fetch them cold beers is quality programming, as far as I’m concerned – is going to be hitting our screens in the not too distant future. February, in fact! Of course, I am talking about The Farmer Wants A Wife, and I am unnaturally excited about the third series coming soon to Channel Nine.
But even more thrilling? They’re cast for Series Four already! DEFAMER AUSTRALIA READERS WHO ARE ALSO FARMERS, TAKE NOTE!
Australia fell in love with the first two series of The Farmer Wants A Wife, with the highly anticipated third series due to premiere on Channel Nine in early February. Following on from the overwhelming viewer response in 2008, the Nine Network and FremantleMedia Australia are now casting farmers for the welcome return of the eagerly anticipated fourth series.

Robbie Williams Is Going Alien Hunting
10:31AM Jess McGuire | Remember this glorious period in Robbie Williams’ career?
Or when he was singing successful duets with assorted pop stars/movie actresses?
And canoodling hot older celebrities?
Or singing adorably deranged songs about how he would make Hollywood fall in love with him (which, you know, they never did – but the sentiment was rather stirring, regardless of how impossible the man’s dreams were)?
I just wanted you to remember Robbie Williams’ Good Times™ before informing you that the increasingly reclusive pop singer has asked Peter Andre to go alien hunting with him.
Yes, Peter Andre. Yes, alien hunting.

Kylie’s New Boyfriend Introduces Kylie To The Family, Reveals How Hard It Is To Be A Model
9:36AM Jess McGuire | Defamer Australia mentioned last week how thrilled it was to learn that Kylie’s love life, traditionally the one worrisome part of her otherwise perfect and charmed existence, seemed to have not only taken itself off life support, but strutted boldly out of the hospital wearing nought but a gown, boasted loudly to all and sundry “I’ma gonna gets me some hot young Spanish ass!”, and then jogged to the nearest popular nightspot. I don’t know why Kylie’s romantic life has an accent, it’s not for me to judge.
Well, it’s now metaphorically taken out a long term membership at its local gym, and begun doing spin classes and weights training. Oh god. Even I don’t know what I’m saying anymore. But hey, she’s meeting new lover Andres Velencoso’s parents, so that’s good, right?
Kylie Minogue has headed to Spain to meet the family of her new model man Andres Velencoso. The couple spent yesterday strolling through Barcelona before heading to Velencoso’s nearby hometown of Tossa de Mar, where the New York-based model’s family lives.
Bravo, Kylie!
Andres, meanwhile, has spoken “excusively” to Hello! Magazine in the UK. Are you ready to finally hear the hot Olivier lookalike speak?
