1:27PM Jess McGuire | It would be terrible of me to forget to mention on Defamer Australia the fact that a So You Think You Can Dance? contestant has been swept up in a sex scandal, if by sex you mean “vaguely racy pictures taken by the good folks at Zoo Weekly”. Which saucy jiving miss posed with her knockers out for a lads mag? Why, it’s self-professed angry cheerleader Penny Higgs!
Topless photos have emerged of So You Think You Can Dance favourite Penny Higgs. Producers of the series were shocked to learn Zoo Weekly magazine was set to publish revealing snaps of the contestant, one of which shows Higgs on all fours with nothing but bikini bottoms on.
The folks at So You Think You Can Dance are cool with it all, though. Really. More »

12:48PM Jess McGuire | Read all of Catherine Deveny’s recent article in The Age please. It makes many valid points about women in the media, and I truly think you’re better off consuming the whole thing in your own time than having me knock out a summary that isn’t up to scratch, but I did want to point out this bit…
What does it say about Australian media and culture when the only loud, strong, funny and opinionated woman with any longevity in our country is Dame Edna? A man who lives in London. The gender battle is the mother of all wars.
Damn, she’s got a point.

11:01AM Jess McGuire | I love it when my good virtual buddy Dude From Sony sends me emails that are clearly a shameless attempt at marketing a new product but worded in a way that they briefly seem as though it could be just a little fun between mates.
But because I am now apparently going to be “hanging out” (< -- OMG IS THIS A DATE) with Australian Idol winner Wes Carr on Thursday afternoon thanks to the good folks at his record company, I am prepared to copy and paste their shameless attempt to plug the new Kelly Clarkson record.
Want to hear the entire new Kelly Clarkson album in 3 minutes? Check out this awesome little mashup – really shows just how many hit singles there are on this new album, me thinks!
The album ALL I EVER WANTED is out this Friday. *excitement…*
What do you think? Is the new Kelly Clarkson stuff amazing, or will she be forever cursed by the fact nothing will ever top the extreme awesomeness of Since U Been Gone?
After the jump, an excerpt from a hilarious Kelly Clarkson interview with Popjustice. More »

Naturally, some of her talented menfolk of yesteryear feature on the album…
