2:44PM Jess McGuire | It wasn’t just a weekend full of Logies news, you know. Somewhere in Queensland there are a group of people no one has any affection for battling it out for the right to possibly fill in for Millsy on a late night SMS quiz show if the Hilton-shagging host ever gets the flu.
And one of those little troopers – so to speak – is now in hospital after a disastrous Friday Night games!
Big Brother’s one-metre tall housemate Rima has been forced to leave the show after breaking her leg last night. The Victorian belly dancer injured herself during the Friday Night Live show, which involves housemates competing in a series of physical challenges in order to win a prize.
A Network Ten spokesman said the pint-sized contestant was hanging from a beam on a tilting platform when she fell awkwardly. She was treated by medical staff before being transported to hospital, where x-rays confirmed she had broken her leg. “She is in fantastic spirits with her husband Carl by her side,” the spokesman said.
And Kyle Sandilands no doubt hovering at the door, lecherously whispering “Just pash her, Carl… go on. Touch her. Just one kiss. That’s it… that’s it, Carl… linger… soak it in… You’re a bad boy and she’s a naughty girl…”
It will take several weeks for Rima to recover from her injury – a process that will not take place inside the house. However the spokesman left open the possibility of Rima returning at a later date. In a statement released by Network Ten, Rima said she would conduct media interviews at a later date.
What else can she add? Yep. I’m still hurt. Uh-huh. No, I don’t think Australia got to know the real me in the seventeen minutes I appeared on their screens. Did I “shoot” myself? Yeah, damn straight I did. Glitter gets me hot.
“I just want you to know that the hospital food is much better than the food in the Big Brother house,” she said.
And hopefully not delivered by conveyer belt, although you never know with the public health system these days etc. More » 
God, Even James Blunt’s Rock And Roll Related Injuries Are Dull
10:51AM Jess McGuire | Look, we’ve nothing personal against James Blunt, really we don’t. As a person, he seems to be quite a lovely chap. We’ve read loads of interviews with the man where he seems charming and quick-witted and he certainly doesn’t take himself seriously, and the fact he is worth gazillions and lives in a mansion on a party island in Spain with his own discotheque is the perfect riposte for those breathlessly banging on about how boring and rubbish his music is.
That said, his music is boring and rubbish, and we honestly can’t fathom why a sane person would voluntarily purchase a record which sounds like a cat is being fisted while someone plays acoustic guitar in the background. Whatever. Different strokes, different folks.
But we couldn’t help but sigh when we learned of a recent injury James suffered whilst indulging in the thoroughly EXCITING and NOT-BORING act of stage diving!
James Blunt, who will tour New Zealand later this month, has broken his little finger while stage diving.
He said: “I don’t know what made me do it. I jumped off stage at the end and was chased by women, and men, in the crowd. I started running, and the next thing I knew I had broken my finger.
“I don’t even know how I did it. I can’t play the piano but I can still play the guitar with my remaining fingers!”
THANK GOD, NO ONE WILL EVER STOP THE MUSIC.
Funnily enough, Goodbye My Lover makes us want to jump off something too. More » 
Amelle Sugababes Spends Christmas In Hospital
11:41AM Clem Bastow | However, Amelle Berrabah was not unwell herself – despite Keisha Buchanan’s best efforts with her bandmate-themed voodoo doll collection – rather, this story comes to you from the John Witherspoon Memorial Nearest And Dearest News department.
Amelle and her boyfriend found themselves pitched into a world of Christmas Eve horror when thugs set upon Freddie with a machete and nearly severed his arm and leg.
Freddie Fuller, 25, was found lying in a pool of blood with his left arm and leg hanging by a thread after the attack in Aldershot, Hampshire.
Former tree surgeon Mr Fuller, from Hammersmith, in West London, also suffered huge gashes and stab wounds to his head and legs, according to The Sun newspaper.
The couple were reportedly enjoying a night out with friends at Yates’s Wine Lodge before the attack.
He underwent an emergency six-hour operation at Frimley Park Hospital, in Surrey, to save his limbs and Amelle, 23, was said to have spent Christmas Day by his bedside in intensive care.
A source close to Amelle told The Sun: “She’s desperately upset. Freddie’s arm was almost hacked clean off and he lost a hell of a lot of blood.”
No shit, “source”! What was the other option, “Amelle is doing okay and popped down to the local for a few eggnogs while they stitched up her bloke; it was Christmas, after all”?
Best wishes for a swift recovery to the extended Sugababes clan! More »
