Defamer Australia Had NOTHING To Do With This

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:05:26 +1000

I’d just like to say for the record that Defamer Australia had absolutely nothing to do with any changes made to Short Stack’s Wikipedia page. (more…)

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:47:32 +1000

Time to check in with The Bass on Facebook, I reckon! When we last checked in on Nat for BassBook Watch, Natalie Bassingthwaighte is in Los Angeles and attending kinky furry parties. Or something. So what’s she up to now? She’s written a brand spanking new Facebook note to let us know! (more…)

Darling readers, I swallowed my pride and spoke to the lads at Nova in Perth about everything that happened yesterday (ie. the avalanche of teen fury) regarding Short Stack and made yet another public apology to fans of the band. (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:32:50 +1000

Today’s clip comes from Ashleigh, who sent it in AGES ago but my ridiculously stupid email program has only just begun working properly again after a few months of sooking and I’ve only managed to watch it now. It’s good! (more…)

Dear Fans of Extremely Talented Australian Band Short Stack,

I am writing this open letter to you because I am afraid for my life did something very bad on Monday. (more…)

Twitter Update Of The Day

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:55:15 +1000

Like most things I decide will become regular features on Defamer Australia, Twitter Update Of The Day will probably only happen the once and then it’ll disappear from our lives forever. Neverthless! Occasionally I stumble across sheer 140 characters or less brilliance on that damn social media site, and I felt I should share those moments with you, my most beloved “peeps”. (more…)

Peter Andre Has A New Record Deal

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:46:14 +1000

Obviously his break up with Katie Price means that the past couple of months has been rather difficult for Peter Andre, but here’s some news that ought to cheer him up - he’s landed a new record deal, huzzah! Well, huzzah for him, not for the listening public. (more…)

Lindsay Lohan’s Certainly Excited About Something

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:40:17 +1000

Remember when MySpace used to be the place to find Lindsay Lohan expressing herself freely? Why, she even wrote blog entries on MySpazz about how much she loved My Spazz. (more…)

Triple M Cancel Pete & Myf’s Breakfast Show

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:01:38 +1000

You may have heard yesterday that Peter Helliar and Myf Warhurst’s Triple M breakfast show on Melbourne radio was cancelled after scoring its lowest ratings yet in the latest Nielsen survey. Someone must be very busy today removing giant billboards around the city… (more…)

Tahnee Atkinson Is Australia’s Next Top Model

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:37:37 +1000

For someone who didn’t watch the whole series, I certainly found myself gripped by the Australia’s Next Top Model final last night! And didn’t it have it all? Montages, Mauboys, blood… Yeah, that’s right. I said blood. (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:30:14 +1000

Reader Cameron has sent in this clip - at first, I was like “Hmmm, this looks like it’s going to be boring” but then I as all “OH MY GOD, THESE DUDES DO AMAZING THINGS WITH PING PONG BALLS!”

Don't worry, I don't mean in a Bangkok strip joint kind of way.

If you’ve sent in a Clip Of The Day suggestion and not heard from me, please don’t be put off - try again! If it makes you feel better, my email is a bit busted and there are 900 unread emails waiting. I am trying to get through ‘em all, swears!

Short Stack’s Appearance On Rove

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:59:17 +1000

I was watching the end of Rove on Sunday night and managed to catch the performance of rock wunderkinds Short Stack. As I am a 28 year old woman, I was totally unfamiliar with their work, but I am told by reliable sources that the band is hugely popular with teenage girls. (more…)

Who Is Going To Win Australia’s Next Top Model?

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:06:53 +1000

No, really - I want to know! Beings sans cable television and having trivia hosting responsibilities means I am completely out of the loop when it comes to ANTM, although I am currently housesitting a place with Foxtel and will watch the finale when I get home tonight. (more…)

Rupert Grint Does NOT Have Swine Flu

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:00:46 +1000

According to the know-it-alls at Holy Moly, recent stories in the press about Ron Weasley having swine flu are complete rubbish - it’s just a very naughty way for the folks behind the Harry Potter movie franchise to grab some media attention before the premiere of the latest film. Sounds desperate, doesn’t it? But remember, the world is pretty obsessed with Michael Jackson right now, and desperate publicity times call for desperate publicity measures… (more…)

Tim Bailey Attacked By Crazed Girls!

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:16:51 +1000

Channel Ten weatherman Tim Bailey had some problems last night when a live cross to the studio ended with Tim begging for mercy from some crazed girls. There is nothing else you need to know, just watch the damn video. (more…)

Melbourne Attracting More Than Just Hollywood Royalty

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:15:23 +1000

Sydney is going to be jealous as hell about news Prince William is planning on visiting Australia next year - and he’s heading straight to Melbourne rather than the harbour city. (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:59:16 +1000

I cannot believe this was an actual movie. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Beckinsale starred together in Tiptoes back in 2003 - and Gary Oldman plays Matthew’s dwarf twin brother. Hang on… what? (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:27:55 +1000

Inspired by my earlier insanity - STATIIIIOOOOOOOOOOON! - here’s a Brokeback parody featuring Bill & Ted. Can’t believe I never saw it back when Brokeback parodies were all the rage! (more…)

Dreadful Jokes In Pictorial Form (Part I)

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:01:06 +1000

Do you ever see or hear something, and a little lightbulb goes off in your brain and you’re like “Oh man, there’s a joke that can be made here! What is it though? What the hell is it??” Sucks, huh? Making up gags is difficult at the best of times, and some days the words necessary to form the little buggers just refuse to come together in your brain, and so comic magic sadly slips through ones fingers… (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:30:07 +1000

You kids love La Pequeña videos, don’t you? Thanks to reader Cameron, you can see the little lady’s reaction to Hillary Clinton. At least, I think that’s what it is. It’s all very confusing. (more…)

Are Kyle And Jackie O Buying Twitter Followers?

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:00:24 +1000

It seems hard to believe that anyone in their right mind could accuse ultra charismatic and likable radio pair Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O of needing to buy friends on social media sites. Surely Kyle’s pleasant personality and Jackie O’s razor sharp wit would be more than enough reason to want to follow the pair’s every move? But Confidential are asking some serious questions about the Austereo power couple’s astounding popularity on Twitter. (more…)
