Is This The Real Life? Is This Just Marketing?

10:08AM Jess McGuire | It’s hard to know what to believe any more. Hot on the heels of news that Tourism Queensland cannot be trusted comes word that innocent internet punters – people just like you and me! – can’t even get swept up in online Cinderella stories without later discovering the whole thing was conjured up to sell a rubbish product. She told the world via YouTube that she was a Cinderella trying to find her Prince Charming, a mystery man in a jacket, but Heidi Clarke is a fake.

Melbourne girls, songbird Vanessa Amorosi and VJ Ruby Rose, were spied snogging at the post-ARIAs shindig. More »

‘I Draw The Line At 20′, Says 34-Year-Old Jonathan Pease

8:57AM Clem Bastow | Remember when Jonathan “Arse-Tronaut” Pease was dating pretty young thing April Rose Pengilly? No? Well, there’s something you have in common with the Confidential co-host and Australia’s Next Top Model mentor, who was quick to pour cold water on rumours he is now dating an 18-year-old, model Hilary Hannigan – seemingly before the dust had even settled from his tussle with Pengilly – and did so in his inimitable played out laid back style. “I don’t know how old Hilary is or if she’s still in school but she’s too young for me – I’m an old man and she’s a baby.” More »
