1:12PM Jess McGuire | I knew someone – somewhere – had been a total idiot when they said Ruby Rose’s real name was Lindsay Ciccone this morning. The only person in the world allowed to have that surname is Madge, and she refuses to use it most of the time! More »

9:05AM Jess McGuire | Here at Defamer Australia, we’re massive fans of the way all the News Ltd sites valiantly attempt to bang up a vaguely appropriate gallery of photographs when reporting on any story. Generally it’s a fabulous excuse to look at pictures of Krystal Forscutt’s mad cans, and thousands of men too stupid to Google Image search her name must be thanking their lucky stars on a regular basis. But guess what? I’ve found what can only be described as the greatest news.com.au gallery ever created. More »

8:14AM Jess McGuire | I think I may have stumbled over the greatest news article ever written. Admittedly, it’s not the first time I’ve said that about something I’ve read during the past week, but what can you do when the papers keep delivering non-stop awesome journalism, you feel me? More »

12:57PM Jess McGuire | You’ve got to hand it to the kids over at New Idea – when they mess up, they do so in spectacular and wonderful style. Take for instance their latest scoop regarding the dire state of the Cartwright-Hewitt marriage. Bec spotted with a man! Bec obviously lonely! Bec having an affair! Except, erm, the dude in the photos published by the overly excitable magazine happened to be her brother…

Mike Munro Is Hoping Everyone Forgets He Ever Hosted ‘A Current Affair’
3:19PM Jess McGuire | More Seven Versus Nine news, with Mike Munro confirmed as the host of the marvellously titled new current affairs show which’ll be screened on Sunday nights called Sunday Night.
Mike Munro hopes to return to top quality investigative current affairs on television after joining Channel 7 during the week.
Wait a second, Herald Sun – are you insinuating that the years Mike spent hosting A Current Affair were not spent working in the world of top quality investigative current affairs? But… but… this makes no sense! The show was called A Current Affair, for god’s sake! What else could it have been about? Dole bludgers, supermarket secrets, and dangerous bras of the world? I refuse to believe it. I mean, I also refuse to tune in to ever find out for myself, but I’m gonna give Mike Munro the benefit of the doubt.
Let’s learn more about Sunday Night. More » 
Nice Work, The Age!
1:33PM Jess McGuire | Wow! Some top stuff from The Age’s front page yesterday. The following heinous use of an apostrophe was noted by my clever clogs chum Fluffy, who uploaded this image to the awesome Facebook group Apostrophes Make Things Possessive, Not Plural.
Slow hand claps all round…
(And now that I’ve done this, you’ll suddenly begin noticing – if you haven’t already – my evil molesting of grammar and inappropriate use of punctuation, and feel totally stabby whenever I make a really obvious mistake. But I’m not a real journalist! I’m just a small town girl, living in a lonely world!)
UPDATE: It’s not the “Hero’s” bit we’re worried about, kittens – it’s the “event’s” bit in the small print at the bottom.
More » TVNZ Reporter In Verbal Bust Up With Pink
11:10AM Jess McGuire | I like Pink. I think she’s a feisty young thing who does what she wants and takes no rubbish from anyone, but that might be the marketing talking. Either way, I think she consistently delivers the pop goods, and she’s okay in my books. Every time I’ve ever seen her interviewed, she appears to be quick with the laughs and seems to make an effort, but if the footage of her interview with a TVNZ employee ever gets leaked, I may finally get to see a crankier Pink unleashing chit-chat hell.
An Australian-based TV journalist is being investigated by her employer over an interview she did last month in Sydney with visiting US pop star Pink.
The Grammy-winning singer walked out of the interview with TV New Zealand’s Australian correspondent, Hannah Hodson, after Hodson began asking her why she had sacked Hodson’s sister, a former assistant to the pop star.
Hodson started asking what? Good gracious. I’m no Andrew Denton, but taking an interview about a new album in that kind of direction strikes me as ever so slightly unprofessional. More » 
And Exactly Where Is This Young Lady’s Hand Resting?
12:18PM Jess McGuire | Sure, Bono’s gained a little publicity over the last week after pictures emerged of him partying with two young lasses – neither of whom go by the name “Mrs Bono” – but the photos themselves were fairly tame if you ask me. A couple of hotties charitably hugging some middle aged dudes, really.
BORING!
Let’s rejoice then in this fantastic moment in image cropping brought to you by the folks from Fairfax. I like that it now looks as though the naughty girl in question is gripping Bono’s cock.
I APPLAUD EVERYONE INVOLVED. More »
