Flotsam & Jetsam
5:10PM Jess McGuire | You know what? I think regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman, whether you’re straight, gay, or just adorably bi-curious, all Australians can agree that the following pair of juice-making entrepreneurs are just about the most gorgeous things on the planet.
Dude on the left looks better than Jude Law at his hot hot hot prime, and I want to vote the guy on the right for Dolly’s Most Datable Guy 2009. Does Dolly Magazine even still run that competition? Remember, it’s responsible for Daniel McPherson!
Anyway. Currently my inbox contains a reply all fest where a bunch of spunky women are fighting over the right to marry both Mark Deluca and Onur Kece. But I feel they belong to the world, you know? Just look at them. They’re made of God’s love. I am going to light a candle for them tonight.

2:30PM Jess McGuire | As I approach my 28th birthday next month* I suddenly find myself getting much wiser as the days go by, Braithwaite style, and each passing hour sees me move ever closer to my inevitable death.
And one of the things I’ve realised I can be certain about in this crazy and unpredictable life is that no matter what’s happening around us, despite every failure in the past and the current worldwide economic woe, regardless of whether there’s a want or a need for it… Daryl Somers is spending every waking moment on this planet plotting a way to get Hey Hey It’s Saturday back on the telly.
This is why a heartwarming article about Daryl donating dog food suddenly has me terrified to walk past my TV lest I see the back of Dickie Knee’s head.
Former Hey Hey It’s Saturday host Daryl Somers has emerged as an animal lover.

1:48PM Jess McGuire | Call me a cynic, but I would probably have assumed that Underbelly star Gyton Grantley’s recent voiceover work on anti-smoking campaigns has less to do with an overly passionate hatred of tobacco, and more to do with the fact he’s an Australian actor who needs to pay the rent.
Still, the Daily Telegraph are happy to paint him as a “committed non-smoker” and I’m willing to go with it, because it’s been four days since my last cigarette and I want in on the anti-smoking smugness! Until I fail!
Underbelly actor Gyton Grantley is a committed non-smoker. The actor had a rocking 2008 when he went from unknown to household name as killer Carl Williams in Underbelly. He’s currently voicing a radio commercial, an acting fall-back when roles are scarce.
Thanks for that last sentence, Daily Telegraph. You’re slowly morphing into the David Attenborough of crap celebrity non-gossip and I love you for it.

12:44PM Jess McGuire | As a general rule, I don’t really care about cutbacks or belt tightening unless it directly affects me. This is because I am, despite all the horrendous lefty posturing about equal rights for everyone and helping my brothers and sisters through this thing called life, incredibly selfish and only care about myself.
So it was weird when I actually found myself worried about the Logie Award fate of some of this country’s more rubbish celebrities after reading the following.
The budgetary axe is set to fall on this year’s Logies with the award’s show budget to be cut and the official invitation list trimmed for the 51st ceremony in May. Just who will be in and out remains to be discovered – but the likes of Jennifer Hawkins, Tim Campbell or Ajay Rochester could miss out if not nominated.
A Logies ceremony without the hotness of Jennifer “Hawko” Hawkins? No cabaret-a-rific Tim “Making The Yuletide Gay With My Tiny Lover Since 2008!” Campbell? It can’t be! Honestly, I’m not too concerned about Ajay Rochester not appearing (I’m rooting for Alison Braun to take over as host of The Biggest Loser) but the others? It wouldn’t be a half-arsed Australian awards ceremony without them!

8:54AM Jess McGuire | According to The Age, this is Mischa Barton at New York Fashion Week.
I have so many things to say about this image, I don’t even know where to begin. But I suppose I could pretty much sum it all up with the words “MISCHA – EAT A SAMMICH”

‘30 Rock’ McFlurryGate Overshadowing More Persuasive iPhone-Contra Affair
8:08AM Kyle Buchanan | For all the e-ink spilled over whether 30 Rock gave the McFlurry too much product placement last week (even Jane Krakowski is unsure now!), we think there’s a different, far bigger case to be made. More »
Miley Cyrus Twitter Hack Full Of Missed Opportunities, Misspellings
7:30AM Kyle Buchanan | It’s a shame that someone went to the trouble of hacking Miley Cyrus’s Twitter account, then eschewed the imaginative vagina prose of his forebears to merely imagine X-rated episodes of The Miley and Mandy Show. More »
