Robyn Loau – ‘Sick With Love’

10:43AM Jess McGuire | Generally I try to avoid following celebrities on Twitter because I barely have enough hours in the day to keep up to date with the online exploits of my real friends, let alone people I don’t actually know*. But being a pop culture blogger whose job involves having a vague idea of what the famous kids are doing means that I do make an effort to check in on a few tabloid favourites from time to time – and very occasionally my visits pay off.

Watch The Veronicas Serenade Ruby Rose

9:44AM Jess McGuire | Here is a clip of horrendous quality which shows The Veronicas serenading MTV’s Ruby Rose on stage with a tune called I Could Get Used To This. There’s a nice moment where the blonde one (I’m assuming it’s Jess) strokes the back of Ruby’s neck, an act which appears to have put fans into a Sapphic frenzy in the YouTube comments, but let’s remember that all parties have denied a hot lesbian romance and we should believe them (until notorious paparazzi Jamie Fawcett delivers the photographic goods).

The Veronicas Are Doing Rather Well In The States!

10:10AM Jess McGuire | A hearty congratulations to the Sezbian and Idol Virginity Respecting Origliasso twins who make up Aussie pop duo The Veronicas, as the pair have cracked the US Top Twenty with the single ‘Untouched’. Not the easiest thing in the world to do – the last time an Australian achieved such a feat was seven years ago. The Veronicas have cracked the US Top 20 with their hit single Untouched, which reached number 17 in the Billboard Top 100 this week. They are the first Australian artist or group to make the top 20 since 2002, when Kylie Minogue hit number seven on the charts with Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. Yesterday when I heard that Kylie was the last Australian performer to have such success in the US pop charts, I mistakenly assumed it was with the Emilíana Torrini-penned single ‘Slow’ and felt weird about the whole thing. That it was ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ which blew American minds makes much more sense. More »

And To Think Some People Complain About Australian Commercial Radio!

9:30AM Jess McGuire | Ladies and gentlemen, here are the songs that were flogged to death on the wireless during the last financial year, according to the adorable sounding Phonographic Performance Company Of Australia, a group I like to imagine is run by a guy who looks like this. Anyway. Let’s see what was rockin’ our radios during the 07/08 financial year, yo! More »

Vanessa Amorosi Denies Getting Her Lez On With Ruby Rose At The ARIA Awards

9:29AM Jess McGuire | Vanessa Amorosi has spoken out against claims she indulged in a little girl on girl fun with MTV VJ Ruby Rose after Sunday night’s ARIA Awards, informing excited interviewers that the reports of a budding romance between the two ladies were “definitely not true”. You need proof? Apparently Ruby Rose was too busy being girlfriends with a certain newly blonde popstar with whom she shares a tabloid past. As the internet was sent into a frenzy with talk of a lip lock between Ruby Rose and rock chick Amorosi yesterday, Confidential learnt only one girl is the apple in the lipstick lesbian’s eye at the moment.

The Veronicas To Join The Celebreality Machine

10:30AM Clem Bastow | Now that the whole “Veronicas porn storm” has cleared and moved towards northern New South Wales, bringing with it some light showers easing to an afternoon sea breeze (sorry), the twins are back on the work horse and look set to sign away their private time in exchange for the sweet, sweet exposure (read: horrible, horrible intrusion) of their own reality television series, which would detail their time in the US pop market. “We’re looking into doing a reality show on a big network,” pop twin Jess Origliasso told music writer Cameron Adams from Los Angeles yesterday.

More Azaria: “A Total Wanker Back Then And Hasn’t Changed An Iota”

1:30PM Jess McGuire | After our our earlier open letter to Jess Veronicas, we received a message from a very good source who knows Azaria. They had this to say about The Follow’s THEART’s frontman. I knew both Azaria and “KJ” back when they were just Brisbane teenagers. Azaria was a total wanker back then and hasn’t changed an iota now. Every time I see his face I want to bash him. Harsh! But since Azaria made me feel a bit cockpunchy too, I can’t judge my anonymous source. They continue… More »

An Open Letter To Jess From The Veronicas

12:16PM Jess McGuire | Dear Jess from out of The Veronicas, According to the pulling-no-punches Daily Telegraph, you’re “not such a lesbian” anymore and you’re back together with your wang-owning ex Azaria, the formerly missing frontman of pissweak band The FolloW. You’ve been photographed canoodling with this fellow around Las Vegas and hanging out at Perez Hilton hosted parties, and I have to say… Are you sure you aren’t interested in MTV VJ Ruby Rose? Really? Because she always seemed kinda cool, and Azaria is an absolutely massive tool. I think you should reconsider. This one article provides me with at least (DIDO FANS ALERT: BRACE YOURSELVES) seven hundred examples as to why Azaria is a cock jockey. More »

Easy There, News.com.au, He Just LOOKS Like A Girl

As you will have also read, Azaria is The Veronicas’ Jess Origliasso’s ex-boyfriend. Both have dyed black hair and are fans of make-up and pretty clothes. Still, news.com.au, they’re not that easy to confuse: More »

Two Members Of Aussie Rock Band ‘The Follow’ Have Gone Missing In The States!

8:09AM Jess McGuire | This is certainly worrying if true. Sydney band The FolloW, recently in the news because their front man Azaria (yes, front man, Daily Telegraph!) used to date Jess from The Veronicas before she decided she preferred the company of MTV’s Ruby Rose, have announced on their MySpace page that they’ve filed a missing persons report and contacted the Australian Consulate because members KJ and Azaria have gone missing.
