We Are Quite Certain That, In All Her Achievements, Julia Gillard Is Most Proud Of This One

10:27AM Clem Bastow | Oh, those wacky types over at the land of blokes’ mags, what will they think of next? In this case, the rib-ticklingly, gob-smackingly hilarious move of Ralph bringing our beloved ranga Deputy Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, in at equal 2nd place as “Sexiest Woman” in their annual awards evening, which we’re sure was as classy as the mag what birthed it. Clearly there are a few Labor voters in the Ralph office, with Julia Gillard named runner-up in the sexiest woman category in the lads mag’s annual awards last night. The deputy PM and singer Rihanna tied for silver behind Myer model Jennifer Hawkins in the category. It’s clearly a gag because, in the case of reader-voted countdowns, like FHM’s annual 100 Sexiest list, the joke votes (Sandra Sully, Pauline Hanson, Irene from Home & Away) will usually loiter around the non-prize-winning end of the poll – thus, this is clearly an ironic jab at Gillard, because there’s nothing male media outlets like to do more when it comes to female politicians than to have a go at their personal appearance. What a cack, eh lads? More »

Confidential Resorts To Facebook Groups For Story Inspiration In Slow New Year Period; Defamer Australia Resorts To Confidential Resorting To Facebook Groups For Story Inspiration In Slow New Year Period

8:25AM Jess McGuire | Somehow we don’t think an online group full of passionate Dannii-loving British homosexuals is going to lead to Minogue The Younger troubling the world of politics in the near future. Still, worth a story, right? Somehow we can’t imagine her becoming the next Tony Blair or Gordon Brown but it seems some of Dannii Minogue’s British aficionados think otherwise. A group of the Aussie songstress’s fans in the UK has set up a Facebook group “Dannii Minogue for PM”. It seems mini-Minogue’s stint as a judge on The X-Factor has brought in a legion of new followers but she still has a way to go before she overtakes her big sis Kylie in the popularity stakes. Scraping the barrel, aren’t we Confidential? Now look here – we don’t want to tell you how to be journalists, but surely this Facebook group is more worthy of a bloody article! This group has been formed to educate and inform the people of Australia the likelihood that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and the Muppet Show’s Dr. Bunsen Honeydew have been separated at birth. As well as the glaring similarities between Julia Gillard and Beaker. IT IS TRUE! RUDD DOES LOOK LIKE DR BUNSEN HONEYDEW! AND JULIA GILLARD IS BEAKER’S LONG LOST TWIN! Write it up as soon as possible, News Ltd kids, and watch the Walkley Awards roll in. Just thank us in the acceptance speech and we’ll call it even. More »

Sixty Hours Of Ginger Power Begins Now!

1:01PM Jess McGuire | Congratulations to Julia Gillard who today became the first female acting Prime Minister in Australian history. Perhaps one day we can scrap the ‘acting’ part from that title? In the meantime, this photo tickled us. We found it in a Julia Gillard-themed gallery over at News Ltd. Woo! More »
