Grant Denyer Resorts To Hair Spray In Order To Look Taller On Screen

Australian Post Posted by Jess McGuire at 9:05 AM on February 20, 2008

We were disappointed to learn recently that the host of It Takes Two, wee person Grant Denyer, has resorted to fluffing up his hair before the show in a sad and desperate bid to look slightly taller while standing next to leggy co-host Erika Heynatz. Not only that, but Grant's drastic and hopeless war on inches has earned the ire of the most important folks out there, the Channel 7 audience.

Word is there's been a bit of a to-do over the ridiculously high hair-do Grant Denyer sported on the series launch of It Takes Two last week.

Channel 7 was inundated by viewer complaints about Denyer's bouffant - teased to give him extra inches when standing next to his towering co-host Erika Heynatz.

No doubt teasing of a different nature will ensure Denyer's mop will be styled more appropriately on tonight's show.

Channel 7 viewers actually ring and complain about the hair height of variety show hosts? You learn something new every day.

But let's be serious for a moment. If Grant Denyer is truly unhappy with the stature nature gave him, then perhaps we should take a moment to think of ways to help the poor man. Although folk like Andrew G and the Triple J Breakfast team (who have gone so far as to proudly declare themselves the tiniest radio posse on the FM band) appear to have embraced the fact they were put on this earth in a handy travel-sized package - and their entertainment careers have gone from strength to strength because of it - Grant's attempt at a voluminous quiff is clearly a cry for help, and Defamer Australia will not let it go unheard!

After a long hard think as to how to best style Grant Denyer's follicles, the following image literally - LITERALLY - punched us straight on the nose and screamed "MAKE GRANT LOOK LIKE THIS". As we type, we are bleeding all over our keyboard.

If anyone has used towering hair to their showbiz advantage, it's Don King.

So Grant, print out the following picture we've mocked up and take it to the studio's hair and make up team. You'll be towering over certainly giving Erika Heynatz's shoulders a run for their money in no time.

GRANT DENYER - "THANK YOU, DEFAMER AUSTRALIA"

Anytime, little one. Anytime.

Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Lookin' Classy 'N' Shit

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 1:40 PM on January 15, 2008

AmyWine Blonde.jpgSo we've finally been allowed to peek beneath the washerwoman's scarf that Amy Winehouse has been accessorising her new blonde barnet with, and boy, isn't it a great look?

As the Mail (and the Sun, and the Mirror...) notes, Winegums is looking less soul diva and more like she's gunning for a role in Michael Winterbottom's big-screen adaptation of the tale of Fast Forward's Michelle and Ferrett.

However, we were very taken with the photo (in the Mail) of Winegums meeting up with pal Kelly Osbourne, and in particular, the reaction expression on the face of Ms Osbourne's pug, which is looking at Winegums' head. Here it is, for your enjoyment:

Says it all, really, doesn't it?

Callea-Watch: From The Hairdresser's Mouth

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 9:50 AM on January 11, 2008

Callea.jpgThe rumour mill has been going into overdrive lately as everyone speculates as to whether newly-single Anthony Callea is in fact dating his "good friend" Tim Campbell.

Well, being the well-connected types we are, we may be able to pour cold water on that particular item. A Defamer Australia pal who works in a Melbourne hairdressing salon frequented by Lil Anthony tells us that Callea used to attend his salon of choice quite regularly with his ex-BF in tow - i.e., he's a man who is not afraid to get his tips frosted with his partner present.

However, our pal says that Anthony has been seen just as regularly since the break-up, flying solo, and looking rather glum and very single.

Doesn't sound like the sort of behaviour you'd expect from a man who is apparently being romantically fed champagne and strawberries by a hot ranga ex-soapie star, does it?

So there you have it - with our network of spies and thanks to our exhaustive powers of deduction, we can - probably - guarantee* that, yes boys, Anthony Callea is still single!

* NB: not a real guarantee.

Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Blonde Ambition

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 12:34 PM on January 10, 2008

AmyWine Blonde.jpgWe were struck first this morning by the touching news that Kelly Osbourne - herself a former drugs and booze stuff-up - is wide open and there for our Winegums, telling the Mirror "I talk straight. I don't say: 'Look Amy, you're just fantastic.' I say: 'Amy you have a problem. I'm here when you are ready to deal with it.' I'm not going to tell her to go to rehab. She's not an idiot, she knows what her problem is."

However, that news pales in comparison with today's other shocking Winegums piece - THE HAIR! THE HAIR!

In short, Amy has gone blonde (we've adjusted our traditional Winegums image for your delectation), and it's about as flattering as Britney's myriad of poo-coloured brunettes, or the time Gwen Stefani went blue for the AMAs.

Looking more glammed-up washerwoman than Hollywood femme fatale, the Back to Black singer bundled her freshly dyed tresses up in a brilliant yellow headscarf and completed the look with a flicked up fringe.

Perhaps, after 12 months of turmoil, the troubled artist hopes the old saying blondes have more fun will prove true.

However, the look is likely to do little to get the 24-year-old off the 2007 Worst Dressed list which was unveiled yesterday.

She came second, only beaten to the top spot by stick thin clothes horse Victoria Beckham.

Okay, we're going to go out on a psychoanalytical limb here and take a wild guess that Amy is in the middle of an attention-seeking phase.

Just call it a hunch, we're pretty good like that. Almost as good as Jackie Stallone.

Bec Hewitt Changes Hair, Sadly Does Nothing About Bum-Chin

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 1:09 PM on January 9, 2008

0,,5833493,00.jpgIn news set to excite the readership that apparently warranted the UK press' constant coverage of Kylie Minogue's various hairstyles, our lady of the bum-chin, Bec Hewitt, has given herself what looks to be a home dye job - and what a stunning colour it is, too!

If we were Joh Bailey, we'd say it was "Influenced by that great lothario of old, Pepe Le Pew, but with a modern twist" - though clearly the team at Confidential was as stumped for adjectives as Our Bec probably was for choice when faced with the dye section at Priceline:

True, it's a paradigm shift the likes of which has never been seen in the ex-soapie stars/current tennis WAGs world until today.

She has been a blonde and a brunette - but never before has Bec Hewitt been both at the same time.


Now all we need is for Baby Mia to be given her own child-sized version of mummy's fashionable hairdo and the entertainment for this year's Logies ceremony is done and dusted!

Our Kylie And Their Renee Bond Over Questionable Hairdressing Decisions In Austria

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 11:40 AM on December 10, 2007

Kylie.jpgWe've long since established that the UK press like nothing more than to comment on Kylie Minogue's a) new hair-styles and b) revolutionary televisual appearances, so you can imagine how spastically excited they must have been when the opportunity arose to combine both in an unprecedented display of surely Pulitzer-winning journalism.

Yes, the "nearly 40" singer "kicked up a fuss" on an Austrian chat show, giving "fresh-faced youngsters" a "run for their money" while performing her latest single.

Nice work, gramps!

Dressed in black fishnets, raunchy platform ankle boots and a tight-fitting black plunge-neck top, Kylie performed songs from her latest album X, which reached number four in the album charts when it was released last month.

The singer also sported an edgy platinum blonde bob which added to the sexy look she has adopted since bouncing back from breast cancer.

Her much coveted-style was acknowledged recently when a survey of UKTV Style programme The Clothes Show revealed 31 per cent of viewers regarded her as a style icon.

Please note that "edgy" means "looks like it was carried out by a blind orangutan with a Whipper Snipper", and there is a great accompanying photo of fellow chat-show guest Renee Zellweger touching Our Kylie's barnet as if to say, "Wow, these Jessica Simpson And Ken Paves Hair Extensions feel so real!"

Are You Diggin' On Joss Stone's New Hairdo? Not Likely!

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 9:30 AM on November 20, 2007

Joss Stone.jpgLast time Joss Stone tried to change her hairstyle she ended up chucking a tray of tea and biscuits across her dressing room, so we've no doubt that hairdressers everywhere had a moment's silence for whomever had to suffer at the hands of her rage and disappointment when Stone revealed her new do.

And Bizarre's Saint Victoria, for one, is not impressed with Joss' look.

The singer is almost as famous for her horrid hair styles, fake American accent and Diva tantrums, as her oustanding voice these days.

And her latest do is truly awful.

One fan said: "Joss' hair was unusual to say the least. It was black with purple stripes."

Another suggested that on closer inspection it may have been a wig in an attempt to hide last month's hiccup.

If anything, we're inclined to think that Joss may have heard Dicko describing Tarisai as an angry Bratz doll and thought that Bratz chic is the new look to strive for.

Just When You Thought Kylie Had Stopped Changing Her Hair...

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 4:21 PM on November 13, 2007

Kylie.jpgThe certifiably crazy bitch has gone and done it again!

Yes, it's been some time since we've shone a light on the UK press' questionable obsession with Kylie's many hairdos, but they've outdone themselves this time.

Apparently Kylie has "revealed" her admiration for Deborah Harry by, um, dying her hair blonde and wearing it in a choppy bob.

You heard it here first, folks...

There may be decades between them, but pop princess Kylie Minogue stepped out on stage in France looking every inch a Blondie protégé.

Miss Minogue, sporting a tousled platinum hairstyle similar to 80s icon Debbie Harry and matching attitude, proved her comeback is definitely in full flight with a dazzling performance on French reality show Star Academy.

And when they say "similar", they mean "looks a bit like Debbie Harry from a distance, but it's expensive to fly to Timbuktu".

Because, seriously, the photos they've got in their little illustration are about as "Separated At Birth" as Ahnuld and Danny De Vito.

Kylie Has - Wait For It - Another New Hairstyle; Middle East Peace Achieved, Man Walks On Mars

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 10:56 AM on September 13, 2007

kylie1.jpgLook, we've been doing this thing for a while now, and we're pretty hard to shock. We've seen it all, from Owen's misfortune to Howard admitting the IR laws suck - at least, we thought we'd seen it all.

Look, we might as well come out and say it... KYLIE HAS GOTTEN HERSELF ANOTHER NEW HAIRDO.

Any more earth shattering news like this and we'll have to apply for a floatation tank.

The bright September sunshine reflected the caramel lowlights sprinkled through her layered blonde bob, giving the pop star a subtle ginger look.

Just last week she kept a-head of contestants at a bowling tournament sporting a Sixties sex kitten look which would have made Brigitte Bardot jealous.

"Just last week"! How dizzying it must be to exist in the fast-paced world of Kylie Minogue's personal hair stylist. We thought living in a war zone or stalking Wall Street would be high stress, but now we know the truth: nowhere is there more shocking news than when Kylie has a new hairdo.

We will now retire from this "journalism" lark and apply for the post-traumatic stress syndrome pension.

Kylie Changes Hair Again; APEC Summit Informed, Regular Programming Interrupted

Australian Post Posted by Clem Bastow at 10:28 AM on September 7, 2007

kylie1.jpgIt seems the British press just can't get enough of Kylie Minogue's hairdressing choices, with another report on her follicular follies - this time, it seems she's gone for... a retro updo!

Please read on while we mop our brows with a cold flannel and try to find our neutral space.

Kylie was sporting a new hairstyle putting her a-head of her celebrity opponents at a charity bowling tournament.

The singer's new look had an echo of Sixties sex kitten Brigitte Bardot.

Heart-stopping news there, from the same quality publication that brought this story to our attention. We're just glad that we've managed to stay in the fast-paced loop that is the world of hairstyling for one more week.
