4:20PM Jess McGuire | Are we all excited about yet another panel show hitting the screens where celebrities make complicated things like “news” and “current affairs” palatable for the moronic public? Actually, I kinda am. Although part of me is sighing inside and thinking “Yet another show featuring Rove’s mates on the telly”, there’s this other less cynical part of me desperately wanting the show to work. Can’t hurt to have something decent to watch on the small screen at 7pm each night now, can it? More »

It is also a legitimate read for bored 28 year olds loitering at a cafe waiting for a store they thought opened at 9am to finally let her in the door. Don’t question me. More »

10:02AM Clem Bastow | Presumably Dave Hughes has spent the past couple of days quaking in his boots thanks to Kyle “King” Sandilands’ threatening to “punch him in the throat”, after Andrew Denton reminded the inexplicably highly-paid media “identity” that Hughesy had referred to him as a “massive dickhead” at the Logies. No doubt wishing to save his throat from Sandilands’ powerfully meaty fists, Hughes has released the best public apology we’ve seen in a loooong time:
“Mr Hughes said : ‘I am sincerely and deeply sorry that Kyle Sandilands is a massive dickhead.’
“Mr Hughes hopes that this sincere and unreserved apology will put this ugliness to rest and stop Mr Sandilands from going to jail.
“Mr Hughes further remarked: ‘No one deserves to go to jail just for being a massive dickhead. Massive dickheads have the same rights as normal people.’
“Mr Hughes is not available for further comment on this matter.”
Reports that Kyle was seen throwing a massive tanty on the floor of the ‘Chips & Snacks’ aisle of his local Safeway while Tamara Jaber hid her face in shame could not be confirmed at time of press. More » 
Kyle Sandilands Prepared To Endure Months Of Furious Prison Shower Bumming Sessions If It Means He Can Punch Dave Hughes In The Throat
4:20PM Jess McGuire | Big man angwee! Big man go punchy punchy! Teach meanie a wesson!
Oh, we’re sorry. We probably should have introduced this article about Kylie Sandilands revealing his violent rage toward Dave Hughes to celebrity interviewer extraordinaire Andrew Denton a little better, but really – it’s a pretty apt summary, we feel.
Sandilands has promised to punch Hughes in the throat – why the throat and not the face we’re not sure – but he’s intent on causing some physical pain when they eventually cross paths.
What sounds like a typical Sandilands grab for headlines could end up as an interesting time for Channel Ten execs as both personalities feature on the network.
The grumpy Idol judge is irate at Hughes, who appears on Rove most Sunday nights, for calling him a “dickhead”.
“I don’t care if I go to jail for three months, that guy needs a punch in the throat. Simple,” Sandilands trumpeted on his 2DAY FM breakfast show with Jackie O.
The outburst yesterday follows Sandiland’s appearance on Andrew Denton’s Enough Rope.
Denton played a clip from the 2007 Logie Awards, where Hughes (say it through your nose, it’s a more authentic way to pronounce his name) called Sandilands “a massive dickhead”.
The Australian Idol judge returned fire with: “I hate him – the next time I see him I’m going to punch him in the throat.”
We can just see it now. It’s the 2007 ARIA Awards after party, and Kyle is lining up for his turn to graze at the party pies table. Finally, he shuffles to the front and prepares to dine – when, out of nowhere, he sees a rogue arm move in and grab the last remaining pastry! He looks up and to the left – up, and to the left – and sees a sauce-smeared grin on Hughesy’s face as the Rove and Nova star swallows the last bite of his snack.
“Seeeeeeeeriously, Kyyyyyyyyyle, I didn’t knoooow you waaaaaaannid iiiiiiit that bad!” he wails in mock-apology, “and yew don’t look liiiiike you neeeeed more poooooyze aaaanneeeeewaaaaaaaay! Seeeeeeeeriously, ya diiiickhead!”
And what does Kyle do?
Mumbles something about a migraine, pulls his Sean John baseball cap over his eyes, and slinks off to the men’s toilets to cry quietly in the cubicle.
