12:23PM Jess McGuire | Back in early May I told you I had fallen heavily for United States Of Tara, the Diablo Cody-penned television show starring our very own Toni Collette as a woman dealing with multiple personalities. I also was thrilled to discover that the ABC had nabbed the show, which means there’s actually a chance that the entire series will be broadcast weekly, in order, right to the last episode! ON AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION? MADNESS! More »

4:56AM Kyle Buchanan | Whoa: The opening night film at the Sundance Film Festival is typically regarded as pedestrian fare, so we had little hope for this year’s selection. Then, this morning, programmers announced the 2009 pick: Mary and Max, a claymation movie starring Toni Collette and Philip Seymour Hoffman, narrated by Dame Edna. We could only be more excited if Hoffman’s wrinkly avatar somehow resembles Omar from The Wire. [Sundance] More »
Kidman Vs. Chenowith: Battle Of The Dustys
5:55AM Seth | It’s the battle of the dueling Dusty Springfield movies! In one corner, weighing in at…not much…is Nicole Kidman, in a Fox 2000 release written by Michael Cunningham. In the other, weighing in at even less, is Universal’s own take, with Kristin Chenoweth attached to star. Will this go the way of the two competing Janis Joplin projects—Pink’s vs. Renée Zellweger’s—that produced nothing? Or is it going to be a Capote/Infamous scenario, with more Springfield biopic options than we really wanted in the first place? [Variety] Official reason given for Toni Collette’s departure from Untitled Sam Mendes Romcom By Dave Eggers and His Wife: “Scheduling delays.” She’ll be replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Congratulations, Toni Collette!
1:15PM Jess McGuire | One of Defamer Australia’s favourite Aussies-Dun-Good Toni Collette and her husband, (former?) Gelbison drummer Dave Galafassi have welcomed their first child into the world. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Ms Collette’s own “little miss sunshine” (< -- SEE WHAT WE DID THERE?) Sage Florence...
Australian actress Toni Collette has given birth to her first child in Sydney.
The Muriel’s Wedding star and her husband, musician Dave Galafassi, welcomed a daughter on Wednesday, January 9 in Sydney, reports People Magazine.
The baby girl has been named Sage Florence.
“All are well and very happy,” says Collette’s rep.
The couple were married four years ago in a Buddhist ceremony.

We’re Not Entirely Sure What This Says About The Australian Music Industry But We Suspect It Isn’t Nearly As Good As The Event Producer For The ARIA Awards Thinks
3:43PM Jess McGuire | Possibly a rather ominous opening sentence to kick off this article from the weekend which ponders the contenders for ARIA award nominations this year.
James Packer’s wife Erica Baxter, actor Toni Collette and the late Belinda Emmett are all in the running for an ARIA award nomination this year.
Of course, we haven’t heard the full length albums produced by any of the above mentioned ladies, so far be it from us to assume they won’t be startling and passionate works of art which will stand the test of time. Has anyone else? Reviews welcome. More » Short Ends: Checking In With America’s Favourite Crazy-In-Love Astronaut
6:10AM Defamer Hollywood | Remember, Lisa Marie Nowak, adult-undergarment-wearing, crazy-in-love astronaut? When Toni Collette finally gets the call for Breaking Orbit: The Lisa Marie Nowak Story, this clip of her asking to be freed of her cumbersome electronic ankle monitor will help the actress more fully inhabit the surefire Emmy-winning role. “Hey, that Hannah Montana show/Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode sounds a lot like my idea for a secret-rockstar-in-high-school show/third-place-winning script contest entry!” say aggrieved writers in different stages of the tilting-at-studio-windmills process. Don’t watch this if you’d like to avoid seeing moving images of Jack Nicholson eating a sandwich while shirtless. The Dirty Sanchez crew is including a barf bag with their DVDs; don’t be surprised if their stateside competitors decide to up the ante by packaging a fart mask in a special directors’ cut of Jackass 2. The world held its breath when Katie Holmes nearly fumbled Suri while twisting an ankle in Paris, but quickly exhaled once it saw that her omnipresent baby-retention team was on hand to make sure no harm could come to the infant.

Praise Be To The Gods – Our Toni Is Knocked Up!
3:14PM Jess McGuire | We are simply bursting with joy to inform you that Toni Collette has confirmed she’s having a bubba with drummer Dave Galafassi.
The Oscar-nominated actress confirmed Monday that she’s pregnant.
It will be the first child for the 34-year-old Australian actress and her musician husband, Dave Galafassi.
“We’re very happy. We are completely over the moon,” she said.
We couldn’t be happier to hear this. What a wonderful day for this country! We look forward to a time where we, the proud nation of Australia, can huddle together around a copy of Australian Women’s Weekly and melt as we gaze in wonder at photos of the tiny Collette-Galafassi offspring making its first carbon footprint while a proud mama and papa look on.
