Congratulations to actor Sam Worthington who took out GQ’s Man Of The Year award at a ceremony in Sydney last night. And bless his masculine cotton socks, he took the opportunity to express exactly what being a man means to him during his acceptance speech. Ready to learn more about yourself, readers with doodles?

Daniel shot through this video, saying “Surely this must be the low water mark of internet dating videos?” and he may be right, folks. He may be right. (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day II

Jess McGuire — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:13:13 +1100

Another one from Cameron. While I frantically edit an interview with the wonderful Dave McCormack for your listening pleasure, this’ll have to tide you over. Is it just me, or have the last two weeks been INSANELY BUSY? The only thing for it is a video that features wondrous dancing. (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Jess McGuire — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:47:31 +1100

Spinnerette Will Be Touring Australia Next Year!

Jess McGuire — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:59:53 +1100

Remember how enthused I was about Brody Dalle’s latest musical outfit Spinnerette? The only thing that could make me happier than watching Brody forget to scream “HEY!” in the video clip for Ghetto Love is watching her forget to scream “HEY!” while playing Ghetto Love live. Wait, what? (more…)

Would You Buy Shaun Micallef’s Album?

Jess McGuire — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:03:51 +1100

You may love him as an actor, you may love him as a comedian, you may love him as a radio presenter, and you may indeed love him as a television host – but will you adore Shaun Micallef’s work as a musician? (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Jess McGuire — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:45:12 +1100

Daniel sent this clip in with a short note saying simply “there are no words”, and the person who uploaded it to YouTube described it as “the last thing you see before you die”. It’s about schnitzel. Curious? Of course you are. (more…)

Here Is Lisa Mitchell’s New Video For ‘Clean White Love’

Jess McGuire — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:56:13 +1100

Radio darling Lisa Mitchell has released a new video for her song ‘Clean White Love’. It is a sweet little ditty which seems to say “You are my clean white love” in the chorus which ought to make it quite a popular number at Stormfront barn dances. Let’s take a look, eh? (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Jess McGuire — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:39:01 +1100

Starting my Tuesday with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mashed up with Reservoir Dogs to make a supertrailer? Don’t mind if I do! (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day II

Jess McGuire — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:59:58 +1100

Natalie sent in this video saying “Unicorns and interpretive dance. Apparently this went viral a little while ago and How did I Miss This? Wholesome values! Kitten prints!”. Oh god – you’ll understand why I had to post this as soon as I finished watching it. (more…)

So Rove’s Called It A Day…

Jess McGuire — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:50:15 +1100

Rove McManus surprised viewers by announcing that not only was last night’s show the final episode of his talk show for 2009, but it was also going to be the last episode ever. (more…)

Paul Kelly’s Ode To Shane Warne

Jess McGuire — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:28:44 +1100

I realise I am quite behind the times, but I’ve just heard Paul Kelly’s tribute to Warney and on the off chance I’m not the only Australian who has been living in a cave for the past two years and had no idea that this country’s finest troubadour had knocked out a little calypso ditty ’bout the nation’s favourite spin bowler, I thought I’d bang it on Defamer Australia for your viewing pleasure. (more…)

Big Scary – ‘Hey Somebody’

Jess McGuire — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:12:07 +1100

Working at RRR means I get a stack of CDs in the mail each week, and sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day to listen to them all. Being away for an entire month recently meant that I returned to more singles and albums than I care to count, and as I gazed at the gigantic pile of music that required my attention, I came up with a brilliant way to decide what I should listen to first – I would become extremely superficial and go entirely by cover art.

Jess McGuire — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:43:20 +1100

Thanks to Carly who sent in this rather menacing new trailer for When Harry Met Sally. Very good! (more…)

Incessantly Updating Your Facebook Status CAN Be A Good Idea!

Jess McGuire — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:49:32 +1100

If I’m honest with myself, I am absolutely guilty of updating my Facebook status regularly without having anything of any importance to say. Nevertheless, I still roll my eyes and make fun of other people who do the same thing. But what do I know? Turns out updating your status constantly might stop you from being sent to the hoosegow! I’m in the pokie, Tina! I’m in the joint! The slammer! The clink! The can! (more…)

Jess McGuire — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:17:05 +1100

Don’t ask me what inspired this trip down memory lane, I just felt like watching some clips from Countdown. (more…)

The Northern Territory Is A Kingdom Of Lies

Jess McGuire — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:56:46 +1100

You can always count on the Northern Territory News website to provide readers from around the country with fascinating tales, and they’ve not disappointed me this week. It seems the men of the Top End are fibbing about illnesses in order to lure sympathetic ladyfriends to their boudoir. Fiends!

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Jess McGuire — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:56:15 +1100

I reckon readers Natalie and Cameron are the hardest working Defamer Australia readers in the world. They must spend every waking hour trawling the ‘Tube for quality merchandise, and then very kindly forward on their findings to Your Editor, who can then pass the savings onto you. So when you watch today’s clip (sent in by Cameron), give quiet thanks to Natalie and Cameron for their sterling YouTube efforts. (more…)

Kathy Lette Urges A Public “Girl-Cott” Of Male Authors

Jess McGuire — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:01:21 +1100

REET REET REET! It’s been a while since I’ve turned to Defamer Australia’s award winning Two Day Old News Desk™ team to break a story – well, at least not in an official capacity. So please make them (me? I am sort of confused right now) very welcome as they thoroughly investigate the fascinating world of Kathy Lette’s word play. (more…)

You Know It’s Love When You Foresake Group Sex

Jess McGuire — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:20:00 +1100

It would appear Russell Brand is really serious about girlfriend Katy Perry, with the comedian apparently vowing to give up threeways to please his new woman. And with this news that the Brand-Perry coupling may not be a fling after all, thousands of hearts are breaking around the world. (more…)

Who Should Join Merrick Watts On Nova’s Breakfast Show?

Jess McGuire — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:14:35 +1100

So, it seems Merrick and Rosso are finally parting (radio) ways, with Tim Ross announcing he’s done with early mornings, and he’s taking Kate Ritchie with him. Well, I can’t back up that last bit at all – I am fairly sure whatever Kate Ritchie is planning on doing, it doesn’t involve Rosso – but what I do know for sure is that Merrick Watts is going to need a sidekick. (more…)

The Maddens Hate The Matt & Jo Show

Jess McGuire — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:59:52 +1100

My favourite news story of yesterday had to be the one about Joel and Benji Madden cracking it over being asked to play a ridiculous game while appearing on the highly successful breakfast radio program The Matt & Jo Show on Melbourne’s FOX FM. (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day II

Jess McGuire — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:46:46 +1100

This clip is nothing short of astounding. As far as low-budget commercials go, it gets five stars from me! Although the whole “We’ll fry anything you want for $5.99″ promise in the advertisement reveals an attitude that goes some way to explaining obesity levels in the United States. (more…)

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Jess McGuire — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:15:07 +1100

The honourable and generous Cameron sent this in for Clip Of The Day selection. According to the YouTube description, “this clip is from a series called ‘Acquire the Fire’, hosted by the venerable Ron Luce, that talks to kids in a manner they can all understand: outdated lingo”. Shall we take a look? (more…)

According To Naomi Watts, Life Is Less Of A Hassle With Tampax

Jess McGuire — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:00:11 +1100

Oh my! One of my favourite things to do in the world is watching old television commercials and spotting theatrical types who later went on to bigger and better things. Some of you might remember Naomi Watts preferring a lamb roast to a date with best friend Nicole Kidman’s future ex-husband Tom Cruise, but can you recall the time she was plugging Tampax? Erm, so to speak… (more…)
