The Logies Are “The B And S ball Of Australian Television”

1:48PM Jess McGuire | I enjoyed Marieke Hardy’s column in The Age today about The Biggest Loser finale & Sunday night’s Logies ceremony very much, and thought I should bring it to your attention. More »

Karl Stefanovic Sorry For “Tired And Emotional” Performance On Today Show

11:14AM Jess McGuire | Yesterday Defamer Australia (thanks to the video uploading mad skills of Crikey) showed you footage of Karl Stefanovic’s post-Logies performance on The Today Show. It was an impressive display of slow talk and trying to stay upright, and I think he actually made a pretty good effort to hide how shitfaced he really was. He failed, of course. But he tried. More »

Here’s A Big Brother Related Mystery For You…

11:56AM Jess McGuire | Did you know that Quentin Kenihan, lovable star of the Quentin Crashes [INSERT TELEVISION SHOW HERE], is on Twitter? Well, he is. He describes himself as “Australia’s most well known Disabled Celebrity” which is fair enough, because if you go and visit any small town in regional Australia and hold up photos of Quentin and Kyle Sandilands, the townsfolk will pick Quentin out as the famous one every time.

Count The Lady Celebrities Singing Along To Annie Lennox!

10:22AM Jess McGuire | This is the last bit of Logies related nonsense I can be bothered popping up on Defamer Australia (but you must respect how much content I managed to produce despite sleeping through the awards, right?) but it really tickled me and I thought you might like to have a go at the game that is sweeping the nation (if my nation you mean my office).

Rebecca Gibney: WINNER

12:45PM Jess McGuire | Our incredibly belated Logies coverage continues…. I’d like to extend my personal congratulations to Rebecca Gibney for winning the coveted Gold Logie for her role as the matriarch in Packed To The Rafters. But was that really the role that earned her the most important award presented during Australian Television’s Night Of Nights™? More »

Gretel Killeen As Logies Host: The Verdict

10:42AM Jess McGuire | Let’s ignore the fact that I was sleeping off illness and missed the live Logies broadcast. Who needs to actually watch it on Channel 9 these days, anyway? Between celebrities updating their Twitter accounts through out the night and citizens of this fine country uploading footage to YouTube, it’s possible to piece together an opinion on the event without ever having switched on your telly.

A Standing Ovation For The Bass!

9:18AM Jess McGuire | Yesterday afternoon I was telling a friend how I had originally misheard the lyrics of Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s new single 1000 Stars and thought Defamer Australia’s BFF was actually singing “A thousand staaaaars, a thousand breasts!”. Which would make the track a pretty good anthem for the Logies, I suppose. Or maybe the Brownlow Medal red carpet. More »
