Sorry, Your eBay Search For ‘Hot Date With Miss Universe’ Returned 0 Results

10:23AM Clem Bastow | Have you ever found yourself staring into the abyss and wondering just what it would take to snare you a date with a Miss Universe contestant? A date that didn’t involve getting Macka in accounts to also join Second Life and create an avatar called “Miss Universe” who could then go to Orgy Island with your avatar, the green fox with giant bat wings and tribal tattoos? Stare no further: all it will take is an eagle’s-eye on the auction countdown and a sweaty wad of cash. Yes, Miss Universe Australia Laura Dundovic is auctioning herself off – for charity, of course.

Purchase Your Own Breakfast Radio Host For The Night!

12:04PM Jess McGuire | We were amused to learn yesterday that Triple J Breakfast host The Doctor has decided to pop partner in crime Marieke Hardy up on eBay, a la ScarJo. Radio fans (and, if you’re more old school, scary blogstalkers) will be thrilled to discover that the winner of this eBay auction will receive the following… A night with Marieke Hardy! The successful bidder will receive a night out on the tiles with slightly shop-soiled radio host, Marieke Hardy from Triple J’s Breakfast Program; Robbie, Marieke and the Doctor. Included in the night* will be: 2 tickets to taping of First Tuesday Book Club 1 dink on the Doctor’s bicycle to the studio (no hills) 1 Miner’s elastic headlight to read by 1 packet vegan party franks from the Triple J fridge 1 rendition of a Tom Waits song by Marieke, Scarlett Johannsen-style All money goes to registered charity to be agreed upon by successful bidder and Marieke. Note: the date ends at 8:20pm, Marieke’s bed time. We just spoke to Marieke on the phone in order to confirm everything was actually “fo shizz” and not just a hilarious gag, and informed her that the current highest bid was now $1,025. “NO WAY!”, she shrieked, and yelled to her producer “Hey, the auction’s up to $1,025!” We then heard the voice of her disbelieving producer Amelia hollering back “WHAT? WHO IS DOING THIS?” We have no idea. If you’d like a night with Marieke Hardy, get bidding – the auction closes on the 11th March. We can personally vouch that she will corrupt you you’ll have a delightful time. Warning though, you may have to sit through her talking endlessly about her love of Maroon 5. More »

6:55AM Defamer Hollywood | Apropos of nothing other than wanting to briefly pause from reliving the horror of last night’s Golden Globes (don’t worry, we’ll get back to it soon enough), we’d like to direct you to this eBay auction offering some reproductions of the hilarious/disturbing paintings by artist Miguel Calderon that were memorably featured in The Royal Tenenbaums. At a starting price of $3,000, it might be cheaper to indulge your Wes Anderson fanaticism by renting some ATVs with your buddies for a fun day of shirtless, mescaline-fueled off-roading.
