This should become a regular thing. Maybe when we get around to doing the podcast...

"Man's penis injured in grinder accident"Well, I guess life just continues to imitate art. Especially art created by Director Garnet Mae. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/articles/2009/02/18/1234632881186.html Do you find this valuable? |

"Squeaky-clean Stefanovic sorry for 'drunken' antics"Today show co-host Karl Stefanovic has apologised to viewers for appearing to be drunk on the morning after the Logie Awards. The squeaky-clean Stefanovic prompted a flood of emails after giggling uncontrollably and slurring his words during the Channel Nine show's live broadcast from Crown Casino on Monday. Stefanovic, who was absent from work on Tuesday and Wednesday, told Today viewers this morning he had been off filming a story for 60 Minutes . He conceded he was not "at my best" on Monday. (NODDING PROFUSELY) "I guess the first thing I have to say is that yes, it was a very big Logies night, probably too big," he said this morning. (BEEP BEEP BEEP!) "I didn't feel drunk when I woke up the next morning otherwise I would not have gone on-air. I like to think that I'm professional enough to have made that decision. (NODDING PROFUSELY) "But clearly from the vision that I have seen, I wasn't at my best and what I want to do is apologise to anyone out there who may have, um, you know, been offended by my behaviour on Monday morning. (ROBOTIC WHISTLES) So, humble apologies to you all." (WE ARE HUMAN... MOST OF THE TIME) Do you find this valuable? |

http://www.theage.com.au/news/entertainment/tv-radio/articles/2009/06/23/1245522834669.html"Triple M rocked by ratings slide" June 24, 2009 Myf Warhurst and Peter Helliar are facing the arse after the breakfast show scored its worst-ever ratings, 3.2 per cent. Overall audience was the lowest in a 20-year history. The result prompted Peter "Gracey" Grace to make a stinging attack on Guy "head like loaf of bread" Dobson, executive director of Austereo. Until last year, Gracey hosted a 1980s music show on Triple M. "I was the only guy who went up in ratings, so they f*cked me," he said. "Triple M pays a lot of money to people to maintain low ratings." In 2005, Triple M was Melbourne's top-rating FM station. But after controversial sackings and format changes, it slid. In 2007, it axed the popular Get This program, headed by Tony Martin, Ed Kavalus and Armitage Shanks, prompting pissed fans to picket the studio. Recently it changed format from "rock music" to "music that lacks a defining thematic and encourages channel surfing". "They should call it the 'We Don't Know What We're Doing' format," Grace said. "Every time Triple M goes down in the ratings, they respond by lowering the bar. "Their idea of comedy is to say 'vagina' for shock value. I've never heard so many poo and dick jokes." Grace felt sorry for Warhurst, describing her as "one of the best to emerge in media." Triple M boss Ben "Dobson's plums are yum!" Amarfio declined to respond, but was bitterly disappointed. "We can't sit back and watch (the ratings) fall," he said, "but I don’t get why "Bread Loaf" Guy hasn't sacked Hamish and Andy from Fox - their ratings are so high!" "Worst thing since sliced" Dobson declined to comment. Do you find this valuable? |

“Warwick Capper forges new career as male escort"WARWICK Capper is forging a new career as a $1500-a-night male escort. Quite what he's offering for the full amount is anyone's guess, though he's assures us that it's "good stuff". The flamboyant ex-Sydney Swans full forward says he’s now a gun for hire. He’s 46, but as a man who has posed for Australian Penthouse and produced his own x-rated porn video, the man once best known for the tightest shorts in footy, is not shrinking from the challenge. Capper is still working out five-days-a-week, but the recent $10,000 worth of Botox, lipsuction and plastic surgery may also add to his offer. Capper has told Woman’s Day that he’s now ready for anything. “Usually it’s groups who hire me. But if it’s one woman for a dinner, why not? I’ll make sure she has a good time. I think it’s a good use of my talents.” Capper's workbench is based on the Gold Coast, but says he’s available to anyone who is prepared to stump up the cash. His latest foray into business follows a failed tilt against Pauline Hanson in the Queensland elections, the production of 69-minute porn video with his 26-year-old stripper girlfriend, an attempt to be the Gold Coast’s mayor, a stripper, a lollipop man, and a stint as a scantily clad “meter man”. Asked about his dream date, Capper nominates a dinner on one of the Gold Coast’s fake gondolas where he could have sex on board. The worst would be with a drunk and sick girl on a hen’s night. He says he wouldn't rule out sex on one of his dates, but says "I'd have to charge extra". It’s not the first time he’s sold himself on a date, auctioning the chance to watch the 2006 Sydney-West Coast Grand Final in his Gold Coast lounge room on eBay – also for $1500.
