12:55PM Clem Bastow | Kyle Sandilands must be clapping his hands together with glee given that, this morning at least, there is a person – nay, six people! – more offensive than he is. Yes, “Vile Kyle” has returned to the airwaves, and did so in his infuriating inimitable style.

Kyle Sandilands Blessed On-Air, Does Not Turn To Dust

The Kyle And Jackie O Show Hook Teen Up To Lie Detector On Air… With Disastrous Results
3:06PM Jess McGuire | I’m not sure exactly what Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O were hoping to achieve by hooking a fourteen year old girl up to a lie detector machine and then asking her about sex and drugs on air. Gripping and powerful radio? Perhaps – if you were born without a brain and a soul. It was never going to end well. Turns out the fourteen year old girl had been raped. More »

1:15PM Jess McGuire | Even though Kyle Sandilands sort of won me over a tiny bit last year during Australian Idol (I still feel dirty about it, trust me), I was nevertheless delighted to read about a South African radio DJ who successfully pranked him and his radio co-host Jackie O recently.
A South African disc jockey has pulled off one of the all-time great practical jokes this morning after tricking a top-rating breakfast radio duo into taking a fake call from Tom Cruise.
Hmmm. Some slight hyperbole there, but okay. Let’s pretend that this story is about one of the all-time great practical jokes being executed successfully against Kyle and Jackie O during their hit breakfast show.

La Correspondent Demonstrates ‘Being A Knob’ Prerequisite For 2Day Fm Employment
9:35AM Clem Bastow | We can’t say we’re massively surprised to find this out, but it seems that 2Day FM’s LA correspondent, dispatched to cover the Oscars red carpet and press room, was a bit of a f–kwit and ended up riling up both the stars and those covering the event in a fell swoop for Australian entertainment diplomacy.
Michael “Sydney” O’Neill challenged Kyle Sandilands for employee of the month status by acting like a cock while carrying out the sorts of hilarious stunts we’ve come to know and love 2Day FM’s programming for, including trying to piss off Daniel Day-Lewis – who had just come offstage following his There Will Be Blood win – with dumb questions about how he “relaxes” (no, we don’t “get” the joke, either).
After several attempts at dismissing the repeated line of questioning, an explosive Day-Lewis told O’Neill it was “none of your f…ing business” what he did in his downtime.
Earlier, O’Neill was turned away from the Kodak Theatre red carpet by event organisers for defying the strict black-tie dress code – which is applied to all working media – as well as the A-list stars.
The 2DayFM staffer had arrived wearing jeans and an Akubra, but was sent back to his hotel to change into black pants before being allowed to rejoin other media representatives for the post-awards press conference.
“All of the media were explicitly told in advance that it was black-tie for everyone in the media room,” a Los Angeles insider told Confidential yesterday “with tuxes for the guys and floor-length gowns for the ladies”.
“When he came back he was whinging about it being like school,” the source said.
Michael “Sydney” O’Neill, could you be the new Quentin?
We would have particularly enjoyed this story if it involved Day-Lewis dishing out to O’Neill a fate similar to the one suffered by preacher Eli in Blood, only using his Oscar instead of a bowling pin. More »
