3:24PM Jess McGuire | Oh god, has it already been a couple of hours since I last mentioned Farnesy? Clearly this needs to be remedied. I just ran around very hip radio station RRR screaming “YOU’RE THE VOICE” at the poor volunteers slaving away to ensure Melbourne’s music and entertainment needs are constantly being met, and actually met with approval. This is because John Farnham has the power to unite people. Has anyone considered blaring “Two Strong Hearts” in the direction of Israel and Palestine and seeing what happens? I will write a letter to the United Nations suggesting this as soon as we’re done here.
But enough blathering! I have something brilliant for you and it relates to Big JF.

11:20AM Jess McGuire | Look, I realise some folks out there might still be unhappy about what went down with Iggy the Dog back in 2007. Others may feel uncomfortable about Ellen’s penchant for crazed dancing during her talk show. Perhaps you’ve never forgiven her for the farce that was Mr Wrong. But me? I’m over all those issues, and I just plain love her. And I love her even more when she’s mucking about adorably with her Geelong raised missus Mandy Rogers!

Here’s one from reader Julia, who says “This is a totally random John Farnham clip but I think it really captures his sense of fun (plus, if you watch carefully, you can see Jamie Durie in Manpower.) Watch out for the two JF cameos.”
Oh but we will, Julie!

8:30AM Jess McGuire | Did you know Pauline Hanson has a Twitter account? I didn’t, until I received a notification she had begun following Defamer Australia. I must admit, for a while there I wasn’t convinced it was the genuine article (are you really Twittering about Nickelback, Pauline? No,
really?) but now I’m starting to believe it really is Australia’s favourite non-Passion Pop swilling, non-shagger of Harley Davidson riding army commandos utilising social networking sites to further her career.
