Everyone’s Real Fake On Twitter
6:56PM Owen Thomas | How do you know all those tweet-happy celebrities are the real deal? 50 Cent, Christopher Walken, and Britney Spears are just a few of those with questionable Twitter identities. More »

5:46PM Jess McGuire | I love that Ryan Adams ended up marrying Mandy Moore, I love it to bits. Even cuter? He’s used Mandy’s Twitter account to get up to the slightly insane online mischief he became renown for during the crazy days of his blog Foggy.

Sequel Director Is Publishing’s Latest Embarrassing Sugar Daddy
3:49PM Ryan Tate | Oh, hey there, literati. Remember when that German factory manager took over Random House? Sad. But take heart: The director of Beverly Hills Cop IV is investing in the biz, too. Exciting! More »

2:49PM Jess McGuire | This song is actually a couple of years old, but I’m rediscovering how much I adore it, and therefore I must share it with you because that’s how I roll, yo. Gentle Ben is Ben Corbett from Queensland filthy rockers Six Ft Hick who chooses to explore his sensitive side through Gentle Ben & His Sensitive Side. This makes sense. I can’t recall if I’ve ever actually seen the side project live, but I most definitely saw Six Ft Hick play at The Tote a few years back and fell madly in love with the extreme mental hotness that is Ben Corbett – the show was so amazing, a certain FM breakfast host who came with me to the show ended up taking off their undies and flinging them on stage (naughty Grubby!)

12:46PM Jess McGuire | It’s fair to say that most of us would agree Our Kylie, the eldest of the extremely talented Minogue clan of Camberwell, is officially a Gay Icon. Lucky bitch. God knows my only goal in life (other than landing a plum job as a presenter on Ukrainian breakfast television) is to be beloved by the Gays. But the National Portrait Gallery in the UK has chosen to ignore Kylie in their new summer exhibition called Gay Icons. Blame Elton John…

10:53AM Jess McGuire | Last night on the way home from a Comedy Festival preview show (more about that later), we asked the cabbie how the Richmond/Carlton game had gone. “Carlton flogged ‘em”, he informed us. Then we asked how new Tigers recruit Ben Cousins had performed. “Ah, he busted his hammy…” The driver paused dramatically, and we hung on his every word. “… he’s on ice for six weeks!”

American Idol: Motown’s Just A Fancy Name For Detroit
3:48AM Richard | I think Motown is my least favourite of the Idol theme nights. The songs have all been sung too many times, they almost always sound dated, and it’s racially embarrassing. Last night was no exception. More »
