Sonny Bill Williams Is The Most Evil Man Alive.

9:38AM Jess McGuire | REET REET REET! Slightly Delayed Newsdesk special report! I was quietly amused to see that those wacky folk at Zoo Weekly have decided that Sonny Bill Williams, the former star of the Canterbury Bulldogs rugby league team who recently packed his bags and ran off to France for a job where he’ll get paid loads more than he ever would’ve playing sport in Australia, is this year’s Top Villain. And who did he beat? Well, 49 other horrible people. Including a mass murderer. But – and I say this with a great sense of perspective – ditching your team mates is heaps worse than anything a terrorist could do. Rugby league deserter Sonny Bill Williams has edged out Bali bomber Amrozi to be named Australia’s most hated person in a notorious annual poll. Williams has topped men’s mag Zoo Weekly’s annual Top 50 People We Hate List, released today, The Courier-Mail reports. More »

Sonny Bill Williams Has Incredibly Manly Kind Of Hissy Fit As Befits A Rugby League Player Of His Ilk

8:35AM Jess McGuire | Unfortunately monikered but rather lovely looking (we’re talking rugby league standards here, people) Canterbury Bulldogs star Sonny Bill Williams severely disciplined a photographer who refused to stop snapping his picture outside a Kings Cross nightclub by smashing the man’s camera… soberly. Williams was out with team-mate Willie Tonga and other friends at Hugos nightclub on Saturday when he grabbed the camera off freelance photographer Billy Fidget and hurled it to the ground. The Daily Telegraph understands Fidget contacted the Bulldogs yesterday, demanding Williams pay for the damage or even the replacement cost of a new camera – between $10,000 and $15,000. Bulldogs chief executive Malcolm Noad described the incident as a “moment of frustration”, but emphatically denied Williams had been drinking alcohol at the time of incident. Kings Cross nightclubs are, after all, renown for being a safe haven for teetotalling social butterflies. More »

Someone We Don’t Really Care All That Much About Has Left The Country In Shame

3:31PM Jess McGuire | Fans of Candice Alley Falzon (what does she do, exactly?) will be distressed to hear that she is abandoning our golden shores and heading overseas for a while. A new-look Candice Falzon will attempt a new start when she lines up for a British life-saving championship competition this month. The sometime athlete will leave Sydney mid-month for a four-week working holiday, in a bid to renew her focus on an athletics career and distance herself from the scandal that threatened her family-life, lucrative sponsorship deals and public face. “What scandal do they speak of?” we hear you asking. Allow us to copy and paste further. The incident that led to the profound embarrassment of both Falzon and Canterbury star Sonny Bill Williams happened at the the Easter long weekend. Bulldogs players, including Williams, Willie Mason, Ben Roberts and Reni Matua, decided they would have some late afternoon beers at one of their favourite haunts – the Clovelly Hotel, which was already packed with drinkers escaping the rain. ………. A grainy mobile phone photograph, which showed Falzon and Williams inside the toilet cubicle, was soon being widely circulated and when it was published on The Daily Telegraph’s website, it attracted a record number of hits. Having been caught manhandling doodle during drunken nights out with footballers at the Clovelly Hotel a couple of times in the past, we can thoroughly sympathise with Candice and we wish her all the best at the British life-saving championships. … they have life-saving competitions in Britain? Presumably they’re held in fish and chip shops, and involve the use of the Heimlich manoeuvre to dislodge rogue chunks of fried Mars Bars from the throats of pasty-faced Manchester United fans. More »
