1:39PM Jess McGuire | Dudes, I can’t believe you even need to ask. They’re both INCREDIBLE THEATRE ACTORS – powerful, multi-talented thespians who should be worshipped accordingly by critics and theatre goers alike!
Theate producer John Frost has described former soap star Craig McLachlan as one of the “greatest stars of musical theatre”. McLachlan is preparing for his turn as the leading man in Chicago.
Having watched Craig McLachlan well up with tears during an interview after footage of his performance as Stuart Diver was shown on a screen next to him, I can wholeheartedly agree with any and all compliments given to Craig when it comes to his acting ability. If he can move himself with his acting chops, he can certainly move a nation.
And remember his foray into stand up? Oh god, let’s watch it again! More »

12:29PM Jess McGuire | If you’re a fan of fashion designer Peter Morrissey’s “works”, you’ll be sad to learn that his label has just been given the big kiss off from M Webster Holdings, the folks who have actually owned Morrissey for the last couple of years.
Peter Morrissey, one of Australia’s leading top designers and fashion identities, has been shattered to find that the label he founded 12 years ago is going to be wound up.
M Webster Holdings has owned the label since 2006 and yesterday announced it is set to close the brand’s four stores. It stated that the coming spring collection for 2009 will be the label’s last.
As with everything these days, the label’s demise can be blamed on the shitty economy. More »

Bee Gee’s Bisexual Former Druid Priestess Wife Not Overly Happy With Husband’s Brand New Love Child
10:47AM Jess McGuire | The danger in letting your husband have an eight year relationship with your housekeeper during your open marriage is one day he may just forget to use protection, thus leading to the creation of a step-child you’re not overly thrilled about. Just ask Bee Gees star Robin Gibb’s wife, a “bisexual former druid priestess” who is dealing with the arrival of her spouse’s new spawn who has been given the name Snow Robin. Their smiling appearance at an awards do might best be described as ‘putting on a brave face’. But when you’ve fathered a child with the housekeeper – to the understandable fury of your wife – it’s about as much as can be expected in the circumstances. Last night, Robin Gibb put his arm around Mrs Gibb and said the child was ‘heaven sent’. Mrs Gibb didn’t say anything. Guess you shouldn’t have said you were okay with the relationship, Mrs Gibb!

9:30AM Jess McGuire | Oh, that lovable ignorant ginger rogue Prince Harry! The British papers have just gotten wind of a delightfully stupid conversation the royal had with comedian Stephen K. Amos (you’d remember him from his appearances on Thank God You’re Here, surely?) at the Prince of Wales’ 60th birthday celebration back in November of last year.
Prince Harry was at the centre of a new race row after a black comedian revealed he told him: ‘You don’t sound like a black chap.’ The royal made the remark to Stephen K. Amos after he performed a stand up routine for the Prince of Wales’ 60th birthday celebrations.
Just another day for the monarchy, makin’ conversation with the darkies!

8:03AM Jess McGuire | Oh hey! Guess what? Despite all the promises I made last year, I totally forgot to tell you when I was going to broadcast the Ladyhawke interview on RRR – and it went to air last night. Heads up fail by yours truly! Hahaha, we’ll laugh about it later. Maybe.
Anyway, should the mood take me I may just consider sticking up some of the audio here on Defamer Australia, but in the mean time… would you like to see what New Zealand’s finest pop export decided to play during her Rage-esque evening sitting in the RRR hotseat and controlling the playlist?
Of course you would. More »
