Lily Allen’s Fist Of Pure Emotion Fails To Keep Chat Show Audience Back For Good

8:57AM Clem Bastow | We’re considering installing a button on Defamer Australia’s online editing program that automatically inserts the phrase “Poor old Lily Allen has been having a rough trot of it lately…” This is because her rough trot continues to continue, this week with the news that she suffered mass audience walk-outs on the set of her new chat show, Lily Allen And Friends, and things aren’t looking much better for her show now. During her debut show Lily Allen And Friends, which aired on BBC Three last night, the singer resorted to showing off a rather stale party trick in an effort to entertain the crowd. The Smile singer was seen putting her entire fist into her mouth during the show, which was panned as “horrible” and “limp” by some members of the studio audience. She also persuaded guest Cuba Gooding Jr to strip in an attempt to keep the viewers amused after saying, “feel free to get naked.” Hang on, putting fists in mouths, telling people “feel free to get naked” – is the crowd certain they’d bought tickets for Lily’s chat show, and not for the swingers night she organises monthly in a terrace in Notting Hill with a bunch of young professionals who like to “shake things up a bit”?

‘Daddy Day Camp’: The Gitmo Of Family Comedies

9:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Just when the double matrimonial punch of Licence to Wed and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry threatened to exhaust every conceivable, nuptial-themed pun, comes yet another disastrous-summer-comedy topic for North America’s headline writers to tackle: Yes, Daddy Day Camp might mark a nadir in the career of Oscar-winner and Roscoe’s Everyday Hero Cuba Gooding, Jr., as well as an inauspicious beginning for Kevin Arnold’s big screen directing career, but for the scribe who came up with the line, “Gitmo likely more fun than this camp,” we think this Murphyless sequel just might have inspired them to a new career best.

Cuba Gooding Jr. Puts Gunshot Victim Before His Own Chicken And Waffle Eating Needs

11:52AM Defamer Hollywood | On Memorial Day, Oscar-winner and Horatio Sanz’s onetime gay-cruising partner Cuba Gooding Jr. had pulled up to Roscoe’s House of Chicken n Waffles on Gower to pick up some deep-fried dinner for the family. What followed, reports Gatecrasher, was an astounding act of celebrity selflessness, as a quick-thinking Cuba leaped to the aid of a young gunshot victim: The 39-year-old Oscar winner was waiting in his car outside a Hollywood restaurant “when he heard four gunshots”, says a source. “Cuba was picking up dinner for his family on the night of Memorial Day,” says the spy. “He saw a young kid holding his head and walked toward him. The kid was bleeding from his neck and collapsed.” More »
