Words Of Wisdom With Marcia Hines
4:19PM Jess McGuire | I’ll leave the incisive Australian Idol wrap ups to Clem, who did a marvellous job this morning (she was so close to her Bui dream!), but I did want to point out that there were a handful of absolutely spectacular Marcia Hines moments that had me both clapping like a spazz and shaking my head in disbelief.
Firstly, when someone referenced a contestant having gone for a little bit of a Britney Spears look, Marcia deadpanned the following nugget of brilliance.
“There’s sexy, and then there’s ho.”
Something we can all learn from.
Marcia also had some helpful tips for our young singers on how to get the most out of their voices.
“You need to get more air into your voice… and the air is sex…. and it’s sexy.”
But my absolute favourite piece of nonsensical advice, delivered in the style of an Anthony Robbins-esque life coach, was this:
“Just fly… fly… fly, darlin’…”
If she keeps this up, I am dedicating a small patch of Defamer Australia to collecting her Greatest One Liners, and at the end we can publish a Bradley Trevor Grieve-y kind of book full of pictures of cute animals with ridiculous quotes from The Marcia God underneath. More »
Words Of Wisdom From P Diddy: “I Just Finished Running, I Just Finished Breathing… I’m Alive!”
1:04PM Jess McGuire | P Diddy is actually running. He’s running. With ten fingers and ten toes.

The Finale Of ‘The Hills’: ‘Imagine Everything You’ve Seen And Then Completely Unimagine It’
10:35AM Molly Friedman | Last night, we tearfully watched as the third season of that Adderall-fuelled pity party known as The Hills came to a wisdom-filled conclusion. So what did we learn last night? Aside from newly cropped and suddenly hot Justin Bobby teaching Audrina (and us) that living alone means you can “come home and cook something,” and shockingly, “have people over,” Methanie Pratt managed to summarize the entire season’s course on Lives Of The Blonde And Vapid by telling villainous Spencer that one should always “think really hard before you do anything.” Below we bring you three tidbits to carry with you forever, involving drinking on the job, dieting leessons, and when the appropriate time to “shush” someone is: More »
The Hills: ‘I Want To Get My Hands In There And Make Myself Available To You’
8:50AM Molly Friedman | Even though zombified Whitney and scandal-plagued Audrina didn’t have much to teach us on last night’s wisdom-packed episode of The Hills, Spencer, Heidi and Lauren blew our minds with life lessons we’ll carry with us forever. And despite not saying anything that even remotely resemebled wisdom, it must be said that Justin Bobby, with his new haircut, has officially reignited our Bad Boy Crush phase. Intrepid Defamer Videographer™ Molly McAleer worked her magic to present the episode’s most eye-opening moments, which we’ve broken down into three essential bits of knowledge: More »
The Hills: ‘How Can You Love And Hate Someone So Much At The Same Time?’
8:00AM Molly Friedman | Oh dear. After weeks spent learning about ancient proverbs and analysing the relationship between women and fashion, the cast of The Hills has gotten their manicured hands dirty. Moving on from worldly life lessons, the girls dove highlights first into Relationships 101. McCain endorsette Heidi raised a good question last night: “How can you love and hate someone so much at the same time?” And her sort-of boyfriend Spencer provided some guidance. As his Adderall eyes flickered and his surfer boy voice reached shrieky heights, he attempted to explain something “everyone on the planet” knows: the difference between “Relationship-acation” and breaking up. But no matter how totally profound Spencer may have appeared, queen bee Lauren drowsily piped in with a brief lesson on boys who are “scum.” Enjoy this video, crafted with loving care by Molly McAleer.
