Purchase Your Own Breakfast Radio Host For The Night!

12:04PM Jess McGuire | We were amused to learn yesterday that Triple J Breakfast host The Doctor has decided to pop partner in crime Marieke Hardy up on eBay, a la ScarJo. Radio fans (and, if you’re more old school, scary blogstalkers) will be thrilled to discover that the winner of this eBay auction will receive the following… A night with Marieke Hardy! The successful bidder will receive a night out on the tiles with slightly shop-soiled radio host, Marieke Hardy from Triple J’s Breakfast Program; Robbie, Marieke and the Doctor. Included in the night* will be: 2 tickets to taping of First Tuesday Book Club 1 dink on the Doctor’s bicycle to the studio (no hills) 1 Miner’s elastic headlight to read by 1 packet vegan party franks from the Triple J fridge 1 rendition of a Tom Waits song by Marieke, Scarlett Johannsen-style All money goes to registered charity to be agreed upon by successful bidder and Marieke. Note: the date ends at 8:20pm, Marieke’s bed time. We just spoke to Marieke on the phone in order to confirm everything was actually “fo shizz” and not just a hilarious gag, and informed her that the current highest bid was now $1,025. “NO WAY!”, she shrieked, and yelled to her producer “Hey, the auction’s up to $1,025!” We then heard the voice of her disbelieving producer Amelia hollering back “WHAT? WHO IS DOING THIS?” We have no idea. If you’d like a night with Marieke Hardy, get bidding – the auction closes on the 11th March. We can personally vouch that she will corrupt you you’ll have a delightful time. Warning though, you may have to sit through her talking endlessly about her love of Maroon 5. More »

Daniel Johns = Not Gay (Or Possibly Was Gay Before Being Lured Back To Heterosexuality By Breakfast Radio Host)

3:32PM Jess McGuire | Daniel Johns decided to use Melbourne’s Big Day Out on Monday to put those “He’s doing it Greco-Roman style with Paul Mac!” rumours to rest with a rather succinct public announcement. For the past few years, there’s been speculation about Daniel Johns’ sexuality. But the Silverchair frontman wants everyone to know – he’s not gay. At Monday’s Big Day Out in Melbourne, Johns told the crowd in no uncertain terms that he’s a red-blooded heterosexual male. “I’m not f—— gay,” he said between songs. To show he doesn’t care what anyone thinks, Johns wore a lacy garter on stage. You show ‘em, oh peroxided one. We heard a rumour that Daniel’s firm declaration he loved nothing more than hunting vagina in his spare time was possibly prompted by an encounter by JJJ breakfast radio host Marieke Hardy on Saturday. Being ruthless journalistic types (cough), we spent the entire day trying to track Hardy down in order to interrogate her about her relationship with Daniel Johns. She was a hard nut to crack, but eventually we Guantanamoed the truth out of her – here’s the official “word for word” statement we managed to “extract” from the pint sized lass. “He kissed me hello and goodbye on the cheek – definitely a reason to proclaim rampant heterosexuality before an adoring crowd of thousands.” WHORE! First Hamish Blake and now Daniel Johns? Leave some for the rest of us, you quick-witted harlot! We say that with love, of course. More »
