Australian Idol Round-Up: Damien Leith Makes The Baby Idols Cry
9:15AM Clem Bastow | You might think that after Australian Idol pitched Damien “Scary Falsetto” Leith into the world of rapturous RSL audiences, morning television appearances and hilariously earnest mega-selling covers records (an inspiration, no doubt, to warbling AFL stud Russell Robertson), he would have nothing but positive spin to feed this year’s bunch of wide-eyed hopefuls. How refreshing then (well, relatively speaking) to see the snaggle-toothed Oirishman telling it like it is to the Class of Spargo (and the rest of them):

Breaking: Melbourne Confidential Bring You The Breaking News, As It Breaks
9:22AM Clem Bastow | Every now and again, as Defamer Australia peruses the daily news, we are given pause to wonder just how many people are actually running some of Australia’s online news “presences”.

Australian Idol winner and total badass rock god Damien Leith has announced the name he and wife Eileen have given their baby boy.
Damien Leith and his wife Eileen Stapleton have welcomed the arrival of their second son, Jagger Ramone.
Jagger, who is a little brother for Jarvis (are we sensing a musical theme here?) was born in Sydney on Wednesday, with his parents proudly attributing two iconic bands – the Rolling Stones and the Ramones – for their son’s distinctive name.
The ‘Ramone’ bit? Named after the Ramones? Well, we never. As for Jagger, it’s all very rock and roll to be sure (to be sure, to be sure), but we’re not sure we’d want our bub sharing a name with Scott Stapp from Creed’s son.

Damien Leith Is A Daddy (Again)
1:10PM Jess McGuire | Congratulations to last year’s Australian Idol winner Damien Leith. Not only did he manage to prove Mark Holden wrong and win the talent quest despite his Big Book Of British Smiles dental situation, he also just became the father of a second baby boy.
Celebrity Baby Blog reports…
Damien Leith and his wife, Eileen, welcomed their second son together today (Wednesday the 30th, Australian time). They already have a son, Jarvis, 20 months. The baby was due around May 20th, so it looks like the little boy was a few weeks overdue. According to Damien’s father, he weighed 3.9kg and 50 cm in length. Photos and a name should follow in an Australian magazine in the coming weeks.
