Even Corey Surprised To Find His Fifteen Minutes Extended
11:32AM Clem Bastow | Groan…
It was bad enough that Corey Worthington Delaney has been being paid to do DJ gigs and promotional appearances (”Add a touch of cockspankness to your function today! Call 1800-COREY now!”) and hadn’t actually been done away with when he was “bashed” in a shopping mall.
Now it seems that the cultural oracle that is MTV Australia has allowed him at least another few weeks in the spotlight with a nomination in the upcoming MTV Australia Awards:
In one of the more unconventional categories, the television moment award, Corey Worthington’s A Current Affair interview will be up against Snoop Dogg’s MTV citizenship campaign, The Chaser’s War On Everything’s APEC stunt, skateboarder Jake Brown’s X-Games 45ft (15 metre) stack and stand, and A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.
Happy to extend his 15 minutes of fame, Worthington said he was pleased to be up against fellow bad boy Snoop Dogg.
“It’s cool to be considered for an MTV award, and to be included in such great company,” he said.
“My vote’s for one of my favourite acts, Snoop Dogg. I’d love to meet him.”
Hopefully this time around, Snoop Dogg will be allowed into the country for the awards, Corey will – shirtless and wearing his “famous” yellow sunglasses – attempt to greet Snoop, something like what John Mayer demonstrates here, and Snoop Dogg will pop a cap in his bitch ass. More » 
A Visual Journey Of The MTV Awards (With Notes)
12:33PM Defamer Hollywood | When we promise something, we deliver. Until the day we don’t. Which means that our claim to have a couple of peeps attending the MTV Awards in Sydney was not a lie we made up to impress our Invisible But Beloved Nonetheless Audience and distract you from the fact we couldn’t go ourselves! Nay, our delightful moles did indeed infiltrate the awards and took a whooooole lotta photos on the red carpet. Unfortunately it seems the after party was so hideously boring, it was simply not worth taking illicit mobile phone pictures. Anyway. Here are some snaps from the showbiz knees up of the century! the year! April! More »
But Wait, There’s More …
12:32PM Defamer Hollywood | You didn’t think we’d stop there, did you? Because we almost did. More »
How Lovely For 30 Seconds To Mars!
11:28AM Jess McGuire | It appears those scallywags-with-feelings won Best Rock Video and Video Of The Year last night at the MTV Video Music Awards!
Which is quite beautiful, really.
Because it has taught a generation of young men that 36 is not too old to wear eyeliner, and that pretending to be down with “the kids” will eventually work out for you, although it may unfortunately lead to everyone with half a brain forgetting you could sort of act once upon a time. More » 
MTV Video Music Awards – A Text Message Roundup.
10:19AM Jess McGuire | We’re not entirely sure what you’re about to see is revealing, earth-shattering or enough to send the gossip magazine editors into a frothing tizzy. Nonetheless, it is an insight into how boring an awards night can actually be if you’re not watching it from the comfort of the couch in your lounge room. Be grateful.
Our Top Secret Defamer Operative sent us the following text messages, reproduced in order, during the course of the evening.
Oh, and we have some sexy sexy red carpet pics taken by Team Defamer Australia (Sydney Branch) which we’ll put up quite shortly. So that will be lovely. More »

Kyle Sandilands, Austereo’s Very Own Johnnie Cochrane, Launches A Legal Battle On Behalf Of Snoop
1:48PM Jess McGuire | We were all gutted to learn that Snoop Dogg was no longer able to enter the country and appear at this weekend’s MTV Awards as planned after his visa was canceled, right? Shizz. All the anorexics in the world weren’t gonna make up for the lack of everyone’s favourite nizzle dropping assorted things as though they were hot.
Well, dry your eyes, mate, because Kyle Sandilands is on the case!
SHOCK jock Kyle Sandilands today said he would launch a legal fight to overturn the Government’s ban on entertainer Snoop Dogg entering Australia.
Kyle and his Today FM sidekick Jackie O said they wanted to get him into the country and began petitioning listeners.
Sandilands later told Channel Ten news that people were overreacting and should not judge the singer “based on a quick Google search.”
In Snoop’s defence, Sandilands admitted the rap singer had once been a criminal, but that those days were behind him.
Who knew that, along with his impressive ability to recognise outstanding new talent when he sees it (Ooh, Aah being the exception to the rule – but we’ll forgive him as he was obviously blinded by vagina love), Kyle had a burning desire to rail against a criminally unjust system? More » 
Exclusive Perez Hilton Exclusive! Exclusively!
9:48PM Jess McGuire | Something else we can look forward to when it comes to the MTV Awards? Celebrity blogger extraordinaire Perez Hilton’s sparkling wit on the red carpet as he banters with sharpest tool in the shed Sophie Monk!
It seems every single person in the Australian media is literally – yes, we said literally! – soiling themselves to get an exclusive audience with the “Queen Of All Media”. And why wouldn’t they be? He’s far and away the greatest flinger of bon mots the internerd currently has to offer. In fact, we’ve learned everything we know about quip flinging from him!
As you can see, we’ve opened with a classic Perez move. We’ll give it the Friends-esque name of The One With The Cum Dribbling From The Mouth.
But wait click! There’s more! More » I’m A Sex Change And a Damsel With An MTV Award…
1:18PM Jess McGuire | Oooh! Oooh! OooooooooooOOOooooooooh!
Those elderly buggers Silverchair will be honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at this Sunday night’s MTV knees up.
“This award is MTV Australia’s way of thanking Silverchair for providing a fantastic and progressive soundtrack to many of our viewers’ lives,” MTV Networks Australia executive producer Ean Thorley said.
“In the eyes of MTV Australia there couldn’t be a more perfect choice for their first Video Vanguard Award than Silverchair.”
The group exploded onto the international music scene in 1995 as bright-eyed and long-haired teenagers with their debut album Frogstomp and have since started to rival Madonna in the art of reinvention.
We were planning on celebrating this cheery news by doing a Best Of collection of Daniel Johns’ hideous lyrics over the years (”No more maybes, your baby’s got rabies” etc), but by god. He’s so pretty now! And he’s writing tunes, goddamnit!
Let’s just watch him looking pretty and singing a nice song. That sounds soothing.

10:54AM Jess McGuire | There’s nothing we like better than an awards ceremony ‘round these parts. The prospect of celebrities delivering saccharine speeches thanking everyone they’ve ever met, bursting into tears, pashing their siblings and heckling Bono is almost too exciting to comprehend, and that’s why – almost as though it were a training session for that glittering night of tacky nights known lovingly as The Logies – we were foaming at the mouth with glee when, for the briefest moment in time, there was a chance Defamer Australia had blagged itself a ticket.
However, a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions has struck. You don’t need to know the details, but the gist of the situation is we’re not going anymore, and even though we were only mildly interested in the MTV Awards before the tantalising prospect of an invite was thrust in our face before being rudely snatched away again, we’ve now taken a turn for the Fatal Attraction and can think of nothing else.
You’ve been warned.
If there is a bright side to our lack of attendance (and there isn’t, but whatevs), it is that we have a Defamer Australia operative attending the awards and we will be insisting our mole text us constant gossip updates and take loads of incriminating photos of gak-ked up stars.
