It’s Impossible To Keep All Of Sienna Miller’s Ex-Boyfriends Straight
3:04AM Brian Moylan | Page Six ran an item today saying Sienna Miller was seen shopping in SoHo with her ex, DJ Slinky Wizard (above right). We got a tip that she was in the store with ex Balthazar Getty (left). What’s the difference?

10:01AM Jess McGuire | It’s fair to say we chuckled heartily yesterday when we heard former McLeod’s Daughter star Aaron Jeffrey had been accosted by police in Sydney due to the fact he looks a lot like Wayne Carey.
The police claim they were not confused regarding the identity of the beefy bloke they were having a friendly chat to, but rather they’re big fans of Aaron’s (who knew the boys – and girls – in blue would be so into the horsey adventures of the McLeod clan and their chums?) but we’re not sold…
Jeffrey, who was having coffee with former TV host Laura Csortan, was surrounded by officers from the NSW riot and public order squad.
The policemen insisted they recognised the actor and were talking to him because they were fans. But onlookers swore they had seen the footballer.
Jeffrey said he was regularly mistaken for Carey.
This’ll probably come in handy when Channel 9 inevitably produce a telemovie based on Wayne Carey’s recent troubles, and are attempting to cast the lead role. More »
Confidential’s Breathless ‘Sytycd’ Coverage Hampered By Laughable Knowledge Of Melbourne Drag History
9:10AM Clem Bastow | News Ltd’s Confidential, in this instance its Melbourne-based Herald Sun incarnation, love to think of themselves as the all-seeing, all-knowing orifice oracle of entertainment gossip, and get particularly excited about themselves when they think they’ve got the scoop.
So it was that they breathlessly started going on about So You Think You Can Dance Australia contestant Rhys and his apparent double life as a drag performer:
Melbourne’s Rhys Bobridge who made the cut on So You Can Think You Can Dance, has been slogging it out as a real-life Priscilla.
Bobridge, whose drag queen alias is Zowie Knox, has been working at Prahran’s Market Hotel in Commercial Rd for seven years.
As well as doing drag, Bobridge, 26, was a regular dancer at the pub for its mid-morning shows.
Isn’t that camp?!
What a pity, then, that Confidential haven’t done a jot of research.
Zowie Knox is indeed a well-loved drag superstar and show producer who did the hard yards on the live circuit… in the mid-’90s.
Rhys’ alter ego is the beautiful and glamorous Miss Regime Dettol, as we hinted rather heavily when we got word that he’d made it to the Top 20, and as anyone who knows anything about Melbourne’s drag scene would be well aware.
As for describing Miss Dettol as a mere “Priscilla”, those gossip folk better wash their mouths out with soap and learn a thing or two about how to talk to a lady.
Then again, those hilarious gays and their make-up and spangles – they’re all the same, aren’t they Confidential? More »
