It's not often gay porn scandals slip by us here at Defamer Australia HQ, but yesterday I was so busy trying out different credit card number combinations on Straight Australian Guys Jacking Off in order to get myself a slice of the delicious visual pie that is, well, straight Australian guys jacking off - OH, THE IRONY! - that I completely missed the fact Australian Idol host and occasional pop starlet Ricki-Lee's husband (or at the very least, a male friend everyone thought was her husband) may have pleasured himself for the benefit of homosexuals online!

Australian Idol host Ricki-Lee Coulter has, unknowingly, become embroiled in an online porn scandal after shots of a man believed to be her husband Jamie Babbington surfaced on an X-rated website.

Oh my LORD. I know deep inside my soul that I shouldn't be nearly as gripped by Lindsay Lohan's personal life as I am, but when celebrities turn to their MySpazz blogs to get things off their chest, they capture my attention and I'm rendered helpless by their poorly spelled charm (see also Allen, L and Love, C).

And so, after reading our American cousin's take on "bad dads", I found myself on Lindsay Lohan's MySpace page this morning reading a rant against her father Michael. US Defamer quoted a bit of Lindsay's outburst, but just in case you didn't bother checking out Lindsay's blog entry in its entirety, I thought I should point out this rather adorable excerpt.

While we have to say were taken slightly aback by the addition of limp-flippered velvet-slug mafioso Capote the Hutt to the Star Wars character universe, we were even more surprised to learn from a Defamer operative that the Lucas brand—Synonymous with Quality Intergalactic Family Entertainment Since 1977™—harbors other...how should we put this diplomatically...C3POic tendencies? They write:

It seems you can blink these days and miss the juiciest scandals: evidently Brian "Potato" McFadden, soon-to-be honorary Australian and Mr Delta Goodrem, was running off his mouth on New Zealand radio and was shocked to find that saying "If you are not gay, a man should not be wearing pink. Saying pink is a form of red is the same as saying homosexual is a form of male" could be construed as potentially homophobic. No word on whether this is a case of unfair editing and that the end of that statement actually went "...because homosexual is clearly a flavour of delicious ice-cream, now serve me up som'a dat! Mmm hmm chile", but Potato is now on the defensive:

"To come to the conclusion that I am homophobic from these sentences is far from the truth," the statement read.

After making an unsettling detour to Closeted-Heartthrob Rapesville, the Blind Item Express is once more on the move, this time heading for sunnier, more sapphic waters. How else to explain this provocative post from Crazy Days and Nights:

By all accounts, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi's Saturday wedding was a stunning and intimate affair, the two beautiful brides eliciting audible gasps from the guests as they walked down the aisle, trailed closely behind by Iggy the Flower Dog tossing mouthfuls of white rose petals. Obviously, the world bids these two rapturously-in-love and talented ladies a lifetime of happiness together, though it's interesting to see how those good wishes sometimes play themselves out. For starters, we have CNN's headline on the nuptials, noticed by blogger Chexydecimal, which reads, "Ellen DeGeneres 'marries' Portia Rossi." After complaints were lodged, they pulled the scare quotes—floating there like two chubby, hooked televangelist's fingers—but kept De Rossi's last name wrong.

We'd heard of some unauthorized twaddle going around focusing on the gay undercurrent of the Summer Olympics, but as far as we're concerned, NBC is doing some of most trailblazing work this year by playing out Beijing's homoerotic currency right in the mainstream. Nowhere is it more evident than the network's Olympics Web site, where after a sleek, soaking stretch of Water Cube drama, a new slideshow today invites readers to guess the rippling abs whose owners made it through the historic week that was.

He speaks! In the midst of fending off the rumors swirling about his job security, NBC head honcho Ben Silverman has taken time out to become a recurring Olympics correspondent for Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show on KIIS-FM. Broadcasting & Cable has the scoop (not to be missed is Silverman's quip about his Chinese tour guide: "Her name is Fun Fun, so you can imagine how much fun-fun Fun Fun is"), but with the help of Molly McAleer, we've assembled some of Silverman's most enthusiastic moments in the video after the jump. Who knew that Silverman and Seacrest were so well-versed about the gay goings-on in West Hollywood? [Broadcasting & Cable]

Caution: Like an old-school, deep-fried McDonald's cherry pie, contents of this blind item—courtesy of Page Six—are so scaldingly hot, they will likely burn through every layer of the skin on the roof of your mouth until you'll swear you're touching bone. Ah—but the hurt; it hurts so good:

Congratulations are in order for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who married Saturday night in an intimate ceremony held on the grounds of their California home. The brides both wore Zac Posen and exchanged handwritten vows promising to love each other "in sickness and in health, for as long as no pesky cameramen get in the way." Attendance was capped at 19, all the better to exclude potential wedding crasher Barbara Walters.
