11:41AM Jess McGuire | I was bemoaning the state of Australian pop last week, but I should’ve acknowledged the fact that one young former representative netball player/televised talent show contestant hasn’t given up the pop dream. You’re a good egg, Ricki-Lee. More »

10:57AM Jess McGuire | I’m going to be honest with you here, folks. Not every “tip” we receive here at Defamer Australia HQ is useful to us. Occasionally they just contain rambling accusations directed toward Tim The Yowie Man, and I am forced to resist the temptation to publish said rants because frankly, I am utterly confused. However, the following “tip” that arrived in my inbox is short and sweet, if not… erm… pointless. More »

10:49AM Jess McGuire | Our dear friend Ricki-Lee Coulter appears to be doing okay following her split from husband of one year – a fellow who never appeared in gay porn – Jamie Babbington. Although it’s obviously a difficult time for the pop singer, she’s bravely soldiering on and promoting couture designed to help women hold in both their relationship troubles and their tummies. Bravo!
Her fashion role, as ambassador for Hold Me Tight shape wear, fits the curvy star’s fit-and-fabulous attitude to a tee. She has previously admitted battling depression, but those “dark clouds” haven’t returned after industry executive moves to have her lose weight.
Our Ricki-Lee? Needs to lose weight? I think not. Her shapely curves are both inspiring AND arousing. And I mean that seriously! Bitch is hot. I don’t know who is telling her to lose weight but they’re daft, daft I tells you! More » Ricki-Lee In Swimming-Costume-On-Holiday Porn Shock!
12:56PM Jess McGuire | REET REET REET! This just in at Defamer Australia’s Two Day Old News Desk TM. Hot on the heels of pop star and Australian Idol host Ricki-Lee Coulter’s husband’s gay porn non-scandal, comes the shocking revelation by Sunday Telegraph gossip columnist Ros Reines that Ricki-Lee wore a bathing suit whilst chillaxing on the beach in Thailand! HAS SHE NO SHAME?
No sooner had husband James Babbington been mistaken for family friend Aaron Crawford on the X-rated site Straight Australian Guys J…Off, than Australian Idol host Ricki-Lee Coulter has been getting into the act by posing half-naked on Facebook.
OMG! Tell me more, Ros Reines, you bloody genius! More » 
Ricki-Lee Versus Young Divas (Part 1543 In An Ongoing Series)
9:11AM Jess McGuire | Ever since Ricki-Lee left the Young Divas to pursue a solo career/make video clips featuring Gays Kissing, there has been a sweet little rivalry brewing between the two camps. True, it’s not exactly Blur versus Oasis (or Oasis versus Robbie Williams, or Oasis versus Bloody Everybody At Some Point Or Another) – it’s a kind of low-key tension which makes it perfectly palatable for the Woman’s Day/New Idea crowd.
Now, last time we checked the scoreboard, the Young Divas had very much hurt the feelings of a newly hitched Ricki-Lee when they decided to skip her wedding. C’mon, Paulini – “in the Hunter Valley raising money for orphans in Uganda”? Pffffft. If you’re going to make up excuses, try to come up with something a little less cliched. We’ve been waiting for Ricki-Lee to produce a suitable jab back in Ms Curuenavuli’s direction, and she’s finally delivered.
Just when you thought the bitchfest between the Young Divas had sung its last, the feud has fired up again, with former headliner Ricki-Lee Coulter taking the place of current Diva Paulini Curuenavuli as a celebrity mentor on It Takes Two.
Coulter tried to dance around the shuffle when told on Friday that she’d shafted her former bandmate for the Channel 7 gig.
When we interviewed Ricki-Lee last year, she assured us that Paulini had a delightful sense of humour, so here’s hoping she responds to the news of Ricki-Lee’s gig “shafting” with a hearty chuckle, before continuing her daily chores (leaving pictures of David Campbell and his hot new lover cut from Woman’s Weekly photo spreads around the Diva office in a mischievous effort to provoke a monstrous tantrum from Bendigo’s own Kate DeArugao/pouring henna hair dye into Jessica Mauboy’s bottle of Head & Shoulders as part of her ongoing hazing campaign).

5:05PM Jess McGuire | Congratulations to Big Brother 2006’s Camilla, who now works as a Breakfast radio host in Queensland, as she’s just become the mother of a wee little lad.
The former Big Bogan housemate and on-air partner of Labrat and Stav
gave birth to Charlie Max Krohn on Friday night at Royal Brisbane and
Women’s Hospital.
The little fella weighed in at 3700g and yesterday Camilla, partner
Glen Krohn and Charlie went home. Pictures of Camilla and her bub
appear on the station’s website but are ghost stamped with the
station’s logo.
Apparently Camilla’s agent has sold the rights to the story to a
glossy mag, so they’ll be able to paint his room blue and hang all the
mobiles they would ever want above his head.
Savvy marketing of your bub there, Camilla.
Even more exciting news further down in the piece!
She’s said to be coming back to B105 early next year and Ricki-Lee
Coulter has apparently been approached to fill her spot in the meantime.
OUR BEST FRIEND FOREVS (OTHER THAN FORMER NEWSREADER JENNIFER HANSEN – MORE ON THAT LATER) TAKING OVER THE RADIOWAVES?
Brilliant. Ricki-Lee has a dirty mouth, a wicked sense of humour, and sings like a bird when it comes to tawdry tales regarding her former Young Divas members. We wish we were in Brisbane to listen to her!
More » The Young Divas Wish Ricki-Lee A Long And Prosperous Walk Off A Short Pier
11:06AM Clem Bastow | Those charming young ladies in what our UK Correspondent Will has termed “the bin of the Australian music industry”, Young Divas, have been curiously quiet on the topic of Ricki-Lee Coulter’s defection in order to focus on her solo efforts (she was replaced by Jessica “Do What You Do, Say What You Say” Mauboy).
Quiet, that is, until Kate DeAraugo opened her Farnham-esque trap recently and let rip.
We’d call it a touchdown but we’d be happy to never hear or see Mark Holden roll out that tired cliche ever again.
Sniping about Coulter’s decision to leave, on the eve of her wedding, catty Kate said “Ricki-Lee had other things on her mind and she became half-hearted.
“The rest of us put our hearts and souls in the Divas and for whatever reason, she wasn’t prepared to do that, so it’s better that she’s moved on to what’s next in her life and career. That said, we’re still in touch.”
Yes, because if there’s one thing that the vocal-acrobatics-on-autopilot of Turn Me Lose and Gloria suggest, it’s a whole shitload of heart and soul.
Somewhere out there in the music industry, Ricki-Lee is laughing into her Happy Meal. More » 
Aussie Starlets Celebrate International Dump-Your-Manager Week
1:44PM Clem Bastow | Dumping your manager: it’s all the rage, apparently. Holly Valance did it, and Ricki-Lee’s doing it – have YOU dumped your manager? [Name], it’s so easy!
Anyway, if you can forgive that little foray into the world of Reader’s Digest-style win-a-holiday-house-for-24 nonsense, it seems Holly Valance’s success post-manager dumping is being touted as a “don’t worry, luv – see? It can work out” comforter for Ricki-Lee, who’s just done the managerial splits – or something like that.
The former Neighbours actress incurred the cost of an unsuccessful – and expensive – legal wrangle to get rid of Michaelson but would she do it again? Absolutely.
Valance was left with a $350,000 hole in her pocket but has since gone on to double her money after relocating to Los Angeles and winning roles in hit US TV shows Prison Break, Entourage and CSI:NY.
“Money is so transient, it comes and it goes,” the Aussie stunner has told Men’s Style magazine.
“I own a pretty nice condo in Hollywood. Have you heard of him lately?”
Take that, Scott “Never Heard Of Him, Never Want To” Michaelson! How’s that $350,000 feeling now, eh? Yeah, Ho-Val showed you good and proper, didn’t she?
You could even say she gave him the KISS KISS off, but you’d be punning and there’s no need for that this early in the week, is there? More » Who Does Ricki-Lee Want Dead?
8:34AM Jess McGuire | We interviewed ex-Young Diva Ricki-Lee Coulter yesterday.
Among the many highbrow Serious Journalist questions we directed toward her was “Emily and Lavina Williams are both on a life support machine, but you only have one powerpoint. Who do you plug in?”
Without skipping a beat, she launched into a tirade about why Lavina deserved to die and… oh, alright. That didn’t quite happen. But she didn’t exactly hesitate to tell us she didn’t really know Lavina that well compared to Emily AND THAT IS WHY SHE WOULD KILL HER.
The entire interview will be broadcast on Melbourne’s RRR 102.7FM next Wednesday at midnight, but we’ll put up the odd interview excerpt on here until then.
It should also be noted that Ricki-Lee has a devilish sense of humour, an impressive love of pop culture, is our new MySpazz best friend, and has agreed to represent Australia in Eurovision in 2010. More » Our UK Correspondent Has Some Thoughts Regarding Ricki-Lee’s Defection From The Young Divas
4:16PM Jess McGuire | Defamer Australia’s beloved UK Correspondent Will (we are currently awaiting his “latest report” which will be filled with hot pop tips and UK Big Brother anecdotes) has let rip on his personal blog about Ricki-Lee Coulter’s ditching of the powerful Young Divas supergroup in favour of focusing on her solo career.
The catalyst for his diatribe was not the official announcement of Ricki-Lee’s departure, but rather news that her first move as a solo “artiste” has been to sing with a cartoon character named Coco the cuckoo.
Marvel at his fury, as we did.
I was too upset when Ricki Lee resigned from the Young Divas to speak much about it, because I so desperately didn’t want it to be so, and I knew it would be coming sooner or later. Then I felt an odd, bitter feeling about how deluded she is to think she can have a solo career in Australia, and considered it to be broadly emblematic of most people’s inability JUST TO MAKE THE BEST OF SOMETHING MEDIOCRE WHICH IS ALL YOU WILL EVER HAVE IF YOU ARE TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST instead of constantly looking for something shinier and therefore better and with less Paulini involvement. We all have such wishes at times but don’t you think it’s a sign of maturity just to accept that life will never be the perfect Paulini-free tableau we believe we are entitled to and to just crack on and make the most of a fucking hilarious situation such as being placed in the cheapest but second most successful Australian girl band in history? Now you RIDICULOUS WOMAN, you have had to sing with a cartoon bird and it is very unlikely that this will have been a dignified experience for you.
You can see why we love him, can’t you? Read the rest of his spiel here. More »
