It's a grand day for anyone who loves Natalie "The Bass" Bassingthwaighte, formerly from Rogue Traders and the soap Neighbours, and the woman also possibly spotted by me (was I imagining things?!) sitting with Ben Cousins during the AFL Grand Final over the weekend. Why? Because she's just informed the world that her hot lesbian shower scene in her new movie Prey has not been cut from the final edit.

In an interview with this month's Australian GQ Magazine, Bassingthwaighte gave away the juicy detail about the scene, which takes place in the shower.

Tell us more, Liquorice Legs!

Beautiful, talented, and not-at-all-frightening television presenter (and pop star and actress) Natalie 'The Bass' Bassingthwaighte has confessed she was tormented by hideous bullies during her younger years!

The So You Think You Can Dance host clearly remembers being bullied at school and called names such as, "liquorice legs" and, "the young and the breastless".

"It made me feel really insecure and question who I was," she said.

"Could it be? That I am actually made of liquorice?"

We have a problem, we know. We're seeking help.

In the meantime, following on from our earlier story...

God almighty, we bloody love The Bass. Actress, pop star, slightly manic host, and now author? Believe it, bitches. The Bass wants young girls to start behaving in a lovelier manner towards one another, and in light of recent news stories, the publication of Sistahood: A Journal of Self Discovery couldn't have come at a better time.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte has added author to her growing list of accomplishments. The former Neighbours star has tonight launched her first book Sistahood : A Journal of Self-Discovery at a function at Sydney's Luna Park, attended by hundreds of young girls.

When we saw the picture on your left pop up on the news.com.au front page, we put two and two together and concluded JD and Rhys from So You Think You Can Dance were cock-bonding in the few precious and no doubt savoured moments they're not learning how to bust out Emotional Hip Hop or Dramatic Jazz Waltz (or whatever weird style of choreography we've never actually heard of that they've unluckily pulled out from the Magical Hat Of Dance Moves for the week).

Sadly, it seems News Ltd's choice of photo is not indicative of the saucy couplings going on behind the scenes, and JD and Rhys are simply chums (FOR NOW), but the article itself does reveal a couple of interesting things when it comes to the sex lives of contestants.

... for Marko and Stephanie. No doubt our Associate Editor will talk more about last night's boot(scoot)ing off of the aforementioned two contestants, but we did find it interesting that Jason Coleman's plea worked so quickly.

So You Think You Can Dance judge Jason Coleman says he and the other judges were devastated at having to eliminate Hilton and Kassy last week. Could the show be losing its best dancers because Sydney viewers aren't voting for their own?

"I really care about the integrity of the competition and not just the popular people from small town cities,'' Coleman told Insider, before begging NSW to get behind Graeme, Rhiannon, Henry, Vanessa and Kate.

Sorry Stephanie, but he thinks you're only there because of the Perth support for your partner Marko.

Poor Marko and Stephanie. They should have done what The Bass demanded - and now, now she must kill them.

(Thanks to Tom for reminding us of that amazing and frightening photo of The Bass)

After last night's viewing of So You Think You Can Dance, we fell head over heels with Natalie Bassingthwaighte's particular style of television presenting. Looks of intense concentration, Oscar-worthy emotion mustered up at the drop of a hat, and as for her unscripted bits of banter- well, we are heartily smitten. So we are calling all Defamer Australia readers to nominate their own favourite one liners and special moments during the series by emailing your friendly auto-reply service at this address and we'll regularly compile the Greatest Hits in a (potentially) regular segment we're calling Totally Addicted To The Bass. After all, there are rare occasions the Defamer Australia team must leave the house at night, and we simply couldn't sleep soundly knowing we'd missed hearing something like "Okay Courtney, you need to sit on the stool now" uttered with a stern, straight face by The Bass.

Also, you may like to contribute your own photoshopped Bass pictures as our own "mad graphic skillz" leave a little to be desired. Feel free not to point that fact out, ever.
