“Who Is Carson Kressley’s Down Under Lover?” You Tell Us, Sydney Confidential!

11:04AM Clem Bastow | We love it when our distant relatives in celebrity gossipmongering over at News Ltd’s Confidential turn water-cooler rumours into stories – the latest in this long line of journalistic excellence is their piece on Carson Kressley, who is currently visiting our shores and was in town for Mardis Gras this weekend past. Evidently Carson might be enjoying a little Australian romance, not that you’d be any more enlightened on the topic after reading Confidential‘s coverage of the topic: Kressley has made no secret he’s on the lookout for love and has been trawling Sydney and Melbourne for potentials, since splitting from his partner late last year. Pals of the celebrity stylist were staying mum on the identity of the lucky fellow, but no secret stays secret for long when the Oxford St mafia twig to who’s dating where. “Who’s dating where”? Is that a bum-sex reference, team? And “The Oxford St mafia”? Is Confidential comparing Sydney’s gay community to a notorious crime syndicate? Meanwhile, we remain as clear on the topic of Carson’s “down under lover” as we were at the beginning of this piece – do you know who it is? What year is it currently? Who is the Prime Minister of Australia? Tell us! ED: In fairness, I don’t mind throwing the word “mafia” around from time to time… especially behind words like “pink” and “cashmere”. More worrying was the original online version of this story which actually said “Who’s dating wear” instead of “Who’s dating where” – I’m not quite sure what either version is supposed to mean.

Great, Low Points In Morning Talk Show History

6:25AM Defamer Hollywood | Because, well, it’s just been that kind of a day, we thought we’d offer up this clip of Kelly Ripa, accompanied by Queer Eye for the Straight Guy‘s Chief Zhuzher Carson Kressley, giving the play-by-play as one brave karaoke soldier named Suresh Joachim attempts the world record for marathon karaoke singing. (It’s 25:45:00, if you happen to be chronically unemployed and possess the heart of a champion.) We weren’t sure at first why Ripa and an uncharacteristically mute Kressley seemed more exhausted than Joachim himself, until we heard the opening notes to his rendition of Richard Marx’s shmaltz-lite classic, “Right Here Waiting,” and suddenly, what little blood was still flowing to our brains quickly drained before the room faded to white. As always: enjoy. [Live with Regis and Kelly] More »

Lawsy’s Golden Microphone Has Been Stolen!

8:05AM Jess McGuire | It may well be the most daring heist since armed robbers stole Munch’s The Scream from a Norwegian museum – John Laws’ beloved golden mic has been nicked! Wearing his gold-framed glasses and gold headphones and sipping from his gold-rimmed cup yesterday, veteran broadcaster John Laws was down one vital glistening item – his golden mike. Police are treating as suspicious the disappearance from his production office of the $10,000 nine carat gold microphone presented to Lawsie in 2003 as a gift from 2UE management for his 50th year on the airwaves. Generally speaking, as a rule we’d assume the disappearance of an item made of gold and worth $10,000 to be suspicious and probably wouldn’t need the police to inform us of this fact. Thankfully, he has a “back up” golden microphone. Laws has been using another golden microphone, given to him for his 40th anniversary, since the brazen bandit looted the king of his prized instrument. “I’m very upset about it. It’s been part of my life,” Laws said yesterday. Lawsy just wants his microphone home safe and sound, and claims he won’t press charges. Now, we’re not pointing any fingers, but is Carson Kressley in the country for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week? More »
