Miranda! Mirraaaaandaaaa!
9:06AM Clem Bastow | Sorry about the title, we were just so excited for Local Girl Made Good™ Miranda Kerr’s latest news that we had an attack of the Picnic At Hanging Rocks. To that news: as though snaring Orlando Bloom and being a Victoria’s Secret Angel and all wasn’t enough for Kerr, it looks as though she’s set to be the new face of David Jones after Megan Gale stepped down a month or so ago.
And she’ll be compensated generously for her troubles, with a rumoured six-figure sum inked into her contract. Because, you know, it’s a hard life ‘n’ shit.
The 23-year-old’s youth and beauty, which has propelled her meteoric rise on the international fashion scene, is believed to have impressed DJ executives scouting for generational change.

Megan Gale’s Tears As Strike Ruins Her Wonder Woman Party
9:46AM Clem Bastow | Well, we may have made up the tears bit, but we’re sure The Smiling Supermodel turned her smile upside-down somewhat when she heard – after the fact – that the strike was going to delay production of George Miller’s 2manySuperheroes flick, Justice League Of America – in which she’s reported to be playing Wonder Woman.
We bet she went straight home and kicked her Jennifer Hawkins voodoo punching bag for a few minutes then went “surfing” with Andy Lee.
George Miller’s mega-movie, which was due to be shot at Sydney’s Fox Studios, has become the latest victim of the US writer’s strike.
Many in the cast and crew were given a week’s notice on Wednesday but others, including DJs darling Megan Gale who was expected to play Wonder Woman, were still in the dark yesterday.
December Boys star Teresa Palmer and The OC’s Adam Brody were also slated to star in the flick.
The film’s producer, Barry Osborne declined to talk about the delay when contacted by Confidential yesterday.
“We have so much to sort out,” a staff member from the film’s production office said.
“We don’t want to make a comment until our crew know what’s going on.”
We’d just also like to take a moment to congratulate Sydney Confidential on this scintillating opening slug for the article – we’ve bolded the best bit: “It’s a case of ‘up, up and not away!’ for Justice League of America”.
That’s poetry in motion, that is. More »
Cop A Load Of These Celebrity Tatas – All In The Name Of Art, Maaaan!
10:42AM Clem Bastow | Australian artist David Bromley has unveiled his latest collection of portraits, a faintly naive jumble of sketchy nudes – posed for by Kate Ceberano, Cheyenne Tozzi, and Megan Gale, among other less interesting, non-A-list bosoms.
And even though the paintings “retail” for around $16,000 (we’ve really got to get into this art jaunt! Check out these amazing portraits of Mel and Kochie that we did with a Sharpie and a packet of Cheese & Onion Pringles! That’ll be $25,000, thanks! Oh, sorry…), those kind folks over at News Ltd have hosted them all for you to feast your eyes on.
Leap over the jump to gorge on Australia’s favourite Scientologist’s arty (and probably NSFW, unless you work at the Norman Lindsay Memorial Breast Examination Clinic) nungas.

The Battle Of The Spokesmodels Doesn’t Really Continue
9:58AM Clem Bastow | First Megan Gale opened a can of whupass on A Current Affair after they suggested she was in some sort of supermodel fight to the death with Jennifer Hawkins (Gale reps David Jones, Hawkins their competitor, Myer), now J-Hawk is having her say.
And, not surprisingly from a “story” whipped up by ACA, she’s putting paid to the rumours, too.
Who woulda thunk it, really?
Hawkins hasn’t seen Gale’s ACA interview, but she has read what Gale said about it afterwards and isn’t concerned.
“I think Megan is a great girl,” she says.
“I have met her a few times now. I wouldn’t say that we are buddy-buddy friends but I like her and respect her career.
“The rivalry is more between David Jones and Myer than us.”
So, in other words, this whole thing has been a completely tiresome tale of NOTHING at all.
As much as we think Jennifer Hawkins is very pretty and probably very nice, really, this “feud” has been appropriately bland, when you consider her personality or lack thereof. We’d like to see her hire a heavy to break Gale’s knees or something, but really, she’s probably busy saying things like “I have a puppy! The sunshine is nice!” and smiling while she helps grandmothers cross the street. More »
A Current Affair Incurs The Hellish Wrath Of The Smiling Supermodel
12:58PM Clem Bastow | As far as network politics go, it’s probably safe to say that doing a current affairs number on one of your regular star guest presenters is probably about a good a move as, say, letting Eddie McGuire bone you.
Well, congratulations to A Current Affair, then, who thought it would be a good idea to do one of their magical “news” pieces on model Megan Gale, who regularly appears in a guest capacity on the show. Pity they didn’t check the facts with Megan herself before airing it, then.
Megan Gale’s working relationship with Channel 9 has been thrown into jeopardy following the interview A Current Affair aired about the Aussie model on Monday night.
Gale and her management felt disappointed and exploited by the angle the program took with the interview, which was heavily promoted to be a bitchy battle of the babes – with Gale attacking her Myer rival Jennifer Hawkins.
Confidential understands the leggy brunette feels the segment – billed as a juicy exclusive – was “taken out of context”, with her publicity team even attempting to have the ACA promos pulled before the show aired.
Not only that, but David Jones – whose advertising dollars are no doubt appreciated by the network – are also fuming, as the program implied Gale would be leaving their long-running promotional partnership to pursue her cosmetics business more intently.
We thought we’d be dead and buried before we saw the day ACA presented a shoddily researched story where ‘massaging the data’ was the order of the day, but it looks like we’re eating our words now! More »
