Flotsam & Jetsam

They’ve Really Loosened Up At Kerokoban Prison

12:58PM Jess McGuire | I don’t know about the rest of you, but I have a love-hate relationship with social networking sites. Currently I hate them, as they distract me from things I am meant to be doing, but other times I love them… because they distract me from things I am meant to be doing. More »

Mercedes Corby Was Paid HOW MUCH To Strip Off?

11:05AM Jess McGuire | When photos first emerged of Mercedes Corby’s spread (so to speak) for lads magazine Ralph, Defamer Australia decided to focus mostly on the pre-photo shoot wisdom of sister Schapelle. I do hope you’re all remembering to spend some time each morning standing in front of the mirror and repeating the inspiring mantra “Get a tan! Just be confident!” over and over until you’re sufficiently pumped for the day, by they way. But now, albeit reluctantly, I must actually focus on the Mercedes part of the whole story, because the Daily Telegraph have reported how much she was paid to strip off. While some might cruelly suggest Mercedes looked more like one of People magazine’s Home Girls and therefore her time as a glamour model probably warranted a payment of $50 and a meat pie, the folks at Ralph would be forced to disagree with you… BECAUSE GUESS HOW MUCH THEY PAID HER?

Schapelle Corby Is The New Anthony Robbins

11:36AM Jess McGuire | Sometimes in this life, one is lucky enough to encounter a nugget of wisdom so profound, so utterly life altering, that your fleeting existence on this planet is never the same. So I am thrilled to tell you that not only was I truly blessed this morning when I opened up my paper and copped an eyeful of Today Tonight nemesis Mercedes Corby in a swimsuit, but the article accompanying the pants-razzing image contained incredibly moving advice given to Mercedes before the photo shoot by her incarcerated sister (and member of the Bali Smuggles Massive) Schapelle. Brace yourselves… Having laid low for the past six months following her multi-million dollar defamation payout from Channel 7, the Bali-based 33-year-old made a secret visit to Australia last month with her mum Rosalie Rose after Schapelle, who was a beauty school student, told her to do the revealing interview. It’s coming! It’s coming! More »

A Bad Pedicure Can Be Really Depressing

3:08PM Jess McGuire | It was no surprise that in the wake of her former lawyer speaking out and stating he made up her defence about the dicey baggage handlers (cheers, Triple J’s Hack!) Australia’s most famous boogie board enthusiast Schapelle Corby suffered a case of the sadpants. Tragically, not even a perfectly timed pedicure could cheer her up. Australian drug trafficker Schapelle Corby has suffered a relapse after venturing out of her hospital ward to go to a beauty salon yesterday, doctors say. Corby, who is serving 20 years for drug smuggling, is being treated at a Bali hospital for depression but yesterday left her ward under the watch of armed guards to have her hair done and get a pedicure. The visit caused a media storm and Corby tried to hide her face as she left the salon, once she realised a swarm of reporters was waiting outside. Sanglah Hospital doctor Lely Setyawati today said Corby’s condition had deteriorated after her outing “… because it’s been blown up, she’s been chased by many people, she’s been afraid”. “The effect is … her condition is back to zero.” Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Setyawati said doctors had been preparing to send Corby back to Kerobokan prison, but said that would now be delayed. “We were preparing her to strengthen her so that she would be able to face her punishment, but now we need a longer time,” she said Perhaps an additional facial and some aromatherapy would help matters? She said she did not know in advance that Corby planned to visit the salon yesterday, but it would have been a positive experience for her. WELL YOU’D HAVE THOUGHT SO. Poor Schapelle :( More »

Learning How To Take Drugs With Mercedes Corby & Friends!

9:52AM Clem Bastow | With such an excellent cast of bogans characters, it’s not surprising that Mercedes “Bong Smoking Sister Of Schapelle” Corby’s defamation trial (versus Channel Seven) will be ripe with choice quotes. Well, the latest is a faintly hilarious “Taking Drugs 101″ lesson between Corby’s estranged pal Jodie Power’s friend Dana Richie and Corby’s QC. Asked by Stuart Littlemore QC, for Ms Corby, how she recalled Ms Corby taking the amphetamines, Richie said: “Through the nose and through a tube from the line.” Off what surface, Mr Littlemore asked, the carpet? “Obviously not, because you wouldn’t be able to get the particles out of a carpet,” Ms Richie, 37, said via videolink from Bendigo, Victoria. Yeah, der fred, Mr Littlemore, get with the program! Next you’ll be suggesting snorting it off a dunny seat that’s been sprayed with WD-40! Gosh! The trial continues – and I’m looking forward to the next edition of adults only Play School. More »

When ‘Psychopathic’ Just Becomes Plain Ol’ Adorable

2:20PM Jess McGuire | The other day we were so thrilled to see photos of Renae Lawrence and Schapelle Corby getting on like the proverbial big house on fire. The longer we started at the pictures, the more we found ourselves quietly humming a certain anthem by Bad English.
