Jessica Mauboy’s Brand New Video Clip For ‘Burn’
2:04PM Jess McGuire | Ladies and gentlemen, this clip is literally “hot off the press” (or whatever the music video equivalent is) and I knew I had to bring it to you straight away… it’s Jessica Mauboy’s Rihanna-esque track ‘Burn’.
The fans in the comments seem to be digging it. And doesn’t she look fantastic? Somewhere Kate DeAraugo is stabbing a Mauboy-sized voodoo doll.
UPDATE: Fear not, kids. The clip will be back up soon – someone from Sony-BMG has contacted me and assured me it’s only down temporarily because of technical issues. Or something. More » 
Kate DeAraugo Is The New Face Of Jenny Craig
3:02PM Jess McGuire | It’s always a good day here at Defamer Australia HQ when we get to write about the Young Divas twice in one day! The latest news? Kate DeAraugo is now the “ambassador” of Jenny Craig!
Jenny Craig Australia has announced Young Divas star Kate DeAraugo has joined Jenny Craig as a Celebrity Ambassador. Kate will be featured in the new Jenny Craig ‘Get Real’ advertisements which will be aired nationally from March this year.
As one of a number of Jenny Craig celebrity ambassadors, DeAraugo will be used as a model of inspiration for many Australian women who are battling weight loss issues.
Kate DeAraugo said: “I am thrilled to be on the Jenny Craig program. I joined after Christmas and looking forward to challenging myself in 2008 and getting a realistic approach on my weight management plan.”
Good for you, Kate. Soon our Associate Editor Clem “Clam” Bastow will have to amend her favourite quote of DeAraugo’s – “I was going for a tropical look this evening, and I think I’ve achieved that”, declared in a self-satisfied manner at an awards ceremony when being interviewed about her dress – to “I was going for a tropical skinny look this evening, and I think I’ve achieved that, thanks to Jenny Craig”.

(And thank you, Silent Editor Gnome – your beloved Editor hasn’t had much sleep. A fine day for it here at the HQ, it would seem!) More » The Young Divas Wish Ricki-Lee A Long And Prosperous Walk Off A Short Pier
11:06AM Clem Bastow | Those charming young ladies in what our UK Correspondent Will has termed “the bin of the Australian music industry”, Young Divas, have been curiously quiet on the topic of Ricki-Lee Coulter’s defection in order to focus on her solo efforts (she was replaced by Jessica “Do What You Do, Say What You Say” Mauboy).
Quiet, that is, until Kate DeAraugo opened her Farnham-esque trap recently and let rip.
We’d call it a touchdown but we’d be happy to never hear or see Mark Holden roll out that tired cliche ever again.
Sniping about Coulter’s decision to leave, on the eve of her wedding, catty Kate said “Ricki-Lee had other things on her mind and she became half-hearted.
“The rest of us put our hearts and souls in the Divas and for whatever reason, she wasn’t prepared to do that, so it’s better that she’s moved on to what’s next in her life and career. That said, we’re still in touch.”
Yes, because if there’s one thing that the vocal-acrobatics-on-autopilot of Turn Me Lose and Gloria suggest, it’s a whole shitload of heart and soul.
Somewhere out there in the music industry, Ricki-Lee is laughing into her Happy Meal. More »
