Injured Rihanna Photo Leaked, Internal LAPD Investigation Begins
5:06PM Kyle Buchanan | In the period we live in, the most remarkable thing about the fact that police photos of a battered Rihanna have leaked is that it took a whole ten days for it to happen. More »
Flotsam & Jetsam
3:45PM Jess McGuire | Firstly, this post title is a lie. There are NO good chimps. I used to work at the Zoo, and lemme tell you – keepers are the nicest, most loving people on earth… and they still described chimpanzees to me as “the Ivan Milats of the animal kingdom”. True!
The stories I could tell you about evil chimp behaviour would horrify you. Let’s just say that one of them ends in a male chimp using his fingers to make a hole in the back of a pigeon, and then rooting said pigeon in front on a whole lot of school children.
Here is another example of BAD CHIMPS.
A woman taped pleading with police to shoot her pet chimpanzee because it “ripped the face off” her friend had given the animal mood-altering medication.
Travis, a 15-year-old chimpanzee who has starred in TV shows and ads, so savagely attacked Charla Nash that police didn’t recognise she was a woman when they responded to the emergency call of the animal’s owner Sandra Herold, Associated Press reports.
On the tape, which was released overnight by police, Ms Herold cries, “He’s killing my friend!” In the background the chimp can be heard grunting.
“Who’s killing your friend?,” the emergency operator asks.
“My chimpanzee! He ripped her apart! Shoot him, shoot him!”
Here’s what was most troubling about Travis the chimpanzee, other than the fact he was a chimpanzee named Travis.

2:30PM Jess McGuire | The ABC is hiring! Kind of!
A secret shortlist of six people is being considered by the Federal Government for two vacant seats on the ABC board but Labor has put on the backburner its election pledge to reintroduce a staff-elected director despite strong support in the Senate.
I do hope I’m on it.

1:15PM Jess McGuire | I can’t believe people are getting SO up in arms over a little tits and arse on Underbelly II.
Australia’s hottest TV show Underbelly, has had plenty of complaints about its graphic sex and violence – but it’s about to get worse. Nine’s hit series is set to plunge into deeper controversy with a scene depicting frontal male nudity.
In the episode to screen on Monday week, a naked Mark “Chopper” Read intimidates criminal Laurie Prendergast in a prison shower block.
If you’re like me, you’re probably of the opinion that once you’ve sat through Matthew Newton’s bare arse on your television screen, a little cock in a wholesome prison setting will be a breeze.
You know what should really offend you about Underbelly II? More »

7:49AM Jess McGuire | This is the first time I’ve stumbled across some of Jessica Mauboy’s publicity photos (“Finger on the pulse as ever, McGuire” – You) and my god! She looks fantastic.
I think that’s pretty much all I have to say on the matter. What’s Damien Leith up to at the moment? Still penning books and being a lovable Irish chap?
