YouTube Clip Of The Day

2:00PM Clem Bastow | Amidst the horror that was last night’s blackface Red Faces routine, the happier moments of the Hey Hey reunion have been lost like dust in the wind (dude): one of them was seeing just what cute lil’ Nathan Cavaleri has grown into (mix Jack Sparrow with Limp Bizkit and you’ll have a vague idea).

If Extreme Photoshopping Counts As Surgery, Then Yes – Vanessa Amorosi’s Had Some Work Done

12:50PM Jess McGuire | Apparently there’s some controversy over Vanessa Amorosi’s face. I am going to resist making any evil jokes because frankly, I kinda owe Vanessa after starting that rumour about her and Ruby Rose getting it awwwwn at the ARIAs. More »

Vanessa Amorosi’s ‘Absolutely Everybody’ Continues To Inspire

1:02PM Jess McGuire | It seems like only yesterday that Vanessa Amorosi’s tizzied up pop track of yesteryear ‘Absolutely Everybody’ was delighting (or in my case, horrifying) the ears of the world during the Sydney Olympics, but it was nearly nine years ago! NINE YEARS! Christ, we’re all getting old and death is rapidly approaching. Still, the song is as relevant as ever – or at least, it is in Canada. More »

Vanessa Amorosi Is No Actress

12:42PM Jess McGuire | Or so the Melbourne underworld’s favourite warbler claims – she’s apparently responded to rumours she’s planning on treading the boards. And I think this public denial is a great thing. It’ll put people’s minds at ease. I don’t know about you, but I’m unable to walk the streets without being accosted by concerned strangers asking me “Could it be? Is the chick who had that hit once during the Olympics – you know, the bird who didn’t pash Ruby Rose – going to appear in some kind of theatrical production I’m unlikely to see or care about in the near future?” CALM DOWN, AUSTRALIA. The Daily Telegraph has the answers. Singer Vanessa Amorosi has scotched rumours she’s going into acting – but thinks it could be fun. I am intrigued. Please tell me more, Daily Telegraph. Your two line online articles make me tingle all over with their brevity. I could – nay, should – learn from you. 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.

Did Ruby Rose And Vanessa Amorosi REALLY Get It On After The ARIAs?

9:33AM Jess McGuire | Oh my god. You know when we discussed the ARIA Awards and I asked which straight girl Ruby Rose ended up having a Sappholiciously good time with, and then added that my money was on Vanessa Amorosi being the lucky lass on the receiving end of a pash from the MTV host? I was just kidding! I only mentioned Vanessa in the first place because she was the person who came immediately to mind when I put the words “tattoos” and “pop singer” in my Very Special Mental Database Of Worthless Popculture Knowledge, but if tabloid reports are indeed correct, it turns out I am more in sync with Ruby Rose’s taste in women than I ever imagined.. Melbourne girls, songbird Vanessa Amorosi and VJ Ruby Rose, were spied snogging at the post-ARIAs shindig. More »

Vanessa Amorosi’s Spectacular Career Relaunch Delayed Due To Delta Goodrem’s Bed-Head Led Domination Of Press

2:26PM Jess McGuire | When we read this morning that the one thing standing in the way of Vanessa Amorosi forcing her way back into the hearts and minds of the Australian music purchasing public was the nation’s current mild interest in Delta Goodrem, well, we couldn’t help but condescendingly mutter a quick “Suuuuuuuure…” to ourselves. Vanessa Amorosi will have to wait a few months before she gets to shine again. There is industry speculation that her new album has been postponed for fear it would be overshadowed by Delta Goodrem’s latest effort. The forgotten pop star had been due to release her comeback album, Somewhere in the Real World, this month, but it has been postponed until February. The official word from record company Universal was that Amorosi had decided to do some more work on it, but industry sources attributed the delay to the media and marketing blitz surrounding the release of Goodrem’s Delta. It also reminded us of our favourite one liner from Brendan Shanahan after the 2000 ARIA Awards. You’ll have to excuse us as we are mustering this up purely from memory, but if we’re correct, he quipped that watching the smile on Amorosi’s face during the ceremony eventually turned to a frown of disappointment once she realised she was going to be walking away empty handed after being nominated for a massive six gongs was akin to witnessing “a slug being dropped into a bowl of salt”. Quite the vivid imagery, we’re sure you’d agree. More »
