New Idea Pay Big Bucks For Mildly Interesting Photographs To Brighten Up The Normally Dull Back Pages

8:30AM Jess McGuire | The Daily Telegraph are confused. They love nothing more than following the Isabel Lucas/Adrien Grenier/Joel Edgerton romantic triangle in their hallowed pages. It’s a big story! Nearly as big as that time Alex Dimitriades went to the beach with a girl they didn’t recognise! So they’re totally confused as to why New Idea has deemed the coupling(s) to be back page material in the latest edition of the gossip rag, especially when the magazine handed over more than $10,000 for three pictures of Isabel and Joel pashing. Fair point, actually! The sought-after pics of Adrian Greiner’s ex Isabel Lucas kissing co-star Joel Edgerton have finally surfaced – buried in the back pages of this week’s New Idea. More »

JetstarGate: Carla Bonner Says Defamer Australia Report “Not A True Account Of What Happened”

9:51AM Jess McGuire | Following on from yesterday’s troubling report of a verbal spat between Neighbours star Carla Bonner and a Jetstar flight attendant, the Daily Telegraph has helpfully contacted the actress to see whether our tipster Daniel’s version of events was an accurate account of the tongue lashing or whether it was, in fact, total bullshit. We would have called you ourselves to do the same thing, Carla, but we don’t have your number! Also, I’m on pre-paid and phone calls can really eat in to the thirty bucks, you know? Here’s what the Daily Telegraph had to report after their no expense spared investigation into the incident. Neighbours’ Carla Bonner was barred from catching a weekend flight for reportedly letting fly with a Gordon Ramsay-style spray over baggage. The angry actress, who plays Steph Scully on the Channel 10 soap, was intending to travel from Melbourne to Newcastle for an overnight trip with personal trainer boyfriend Jason Shepherd before she was grounded by Jetstar staff for her diva outburst at a check-in attendant. The mother-of-two, who yesterday denied the particulars of the exchange… Wait, what? It actually happened? Good lord, what an unexpected turn of events. I’m now gripped by this story, and we’re the ones who broke it in the first place. Back to the Tele: More »

Just So Everyone Is Completely Clear On This Issue, Tania Zaetta Is Not A Gangbangin’ Slut

1:19PM Jess McGuire | In between takes on the Geelong set of her new movie The Ninja, perhaps whilst sipping her all important stress-relieving Lemon Detox concoction, Tania Zaetta obviously had a long hard think about the infamous story back in May that was published by the Daily Telegraph which stated the Defence Department were in the midst of sussing out claims she’d been servicing the lonely troops in a way Mount Isa’s mayor can only dream of, and decided apologies were not enough – lawyers needed to be involved. The TV host and actress Tania Zaetta is suing the publisher of The Daily Telegraph over an article that allegedly inferred she was a “slut” when it claimed the Defence Department was investigating a report she had sex with troops in Afghanistan on a concert tour.

Where’s Your Husband, Peaches?

10:30AM Clem Bastow | After surprising everyone including her own father by getting hitched in Vegas’ Little White Wedding Chapel, Peaches Geldof has arrived back in Old Blighty without her new husband. Which is probably, when you think of it, even less surprising than the marriage itself! I put $5 on the marriage being over by October 14th – anyone want to raise me? However, I was particularly taken aback by this disturbing little bit of information that the Tele quietly slipped into their coverage: More »

Sunday Tele’s Lesbian Revelation Is Somewhat… Male And Straight

8:56AM Clem Bastow | The Jess Origliasso “porn” photo storm continues burbling away and has done over the weekend, including this rather vague piece from the Sunday Telegraph, which seems to be implying that Jess and MTV VJ Ruby Rose are now in a relationship. We can tell that’s what they’re getting at because they mention Rose’s having broken up with her Melbourne girlfriend, and Jess’ most recent relationship having come to an end. They seem rather pleased to reveal – unless it’s a typo, which they’d better hope it is – that Jess was dating a lady, too: And The Veronicas’ Jess Origliasso, 23, has been dating Azaria from the band The Follow, although she is thought to have broken up with her just weeks ago. “Broken up with her“? Did they actually look at any pictures of The Follow or Azaria himself? Memo to the Sunday Tele: Jess may or may not be in a relationship with a woman now, but her ex was a man. Just sayin’ is all.
