I LOVE Trash TV!

I have become incresingly addicted to "My Kid's a Star". I love how these poor deluded parents think that by some stretch of the imagination that their kids can become famous.

On last week's episode there was a guest appearence by the Veronicas, which had one of the female teenage contestants orgasming on the spot. I got the feeling she was a huuuuuuuuuge fan. And then tonight Allysa-Jane Cook appeared giving the kids acting tips. It's hard to keep a straight face while watching this program, especially with Cameron Daddo hosting. His career went down the shitter rather quickly. What a fall from grace. I remember when he had a huge American career in front of him, having scored a gig on Melrose Place or Models Inc or something or other. At least he never had to appear in a Zoot Review ad or a Jo Beth Taylor video like his brothers though, so I think we can forgive him for that.

I'm also loving Gladiators. Although it seriously lacks Mike Whitney and Tania Zaetta. The hilarious thing is trying to watch Olympia be bitchy. I don't think Tatiana has a bitchy bone in her body. I do love the costumes and the random makeup. My faves have to be Amazon, with that rediculous mohawk and Viper. The random blue wig is a fabulous touch.

OH MY GOD! I HAVE A LOGIE!

I'm sorry I have to do this! I'll never get to do it again!


I wanted to take a moment to share with everyone out there in cyberspace this pure gem of a Logie Awards speech from the fabulous Natalie Blair when she won best new talent a couple of years back!

MTV's push for a dykalicious pash at the AMVA's on April 26th

The MTV Australia Awards are in 9 days and to be honest no one seems to even give a shit. I know I won't be home next Saturday night, I'll be off at a friend's Madonna "Hard Candy" Launch party and won't even have time to give a shit about the awards.

Having said that, I read with great amusment this morning in the Herald Sun that the organizers of the awards are trying to setup a reenactment of the infamous Madonna/Britney pash at the MTV Awards in 2003! Only this time it'll be between everyone's favourite MTV VJ Ruby Rose and Jess from the Veronicas! Hmmmmm, we all know that they've both already been there and done that last month when they got pissed and pashed at the Cleo Batchelor of the Year after party! Surely they organizers could find 2 new people to engage in this?

Who Killed Sam? Part 2

Well last night poor Martha was arrested! They just can't do that, despite evidence that suggests otherwise. We all know Martha would never do such a thing!!!

Anyway, last night some forensic evidence came back, so the note was written on a pad from Martha's place (well actually it's not Martha's place, it's Roman's and I'm sure he referred to it as Martha's place!) and a random strand of Martha's hair was found in Sam's car. Again, this kind of doesn't prove a thing, as the hair could've been on someone else and fell off the clothing by the real person who planted the note.

I'll be interested to watch tonight, but either Sam wrote the note herself (well she WAS upstairs when Martha sprung her in the apartment) and swiped some of Martha's hair (ewwww) and planted it all in the car to set Martha up, or it was all Roman's doing. He killed Sam, then wrote the note, but had some of Martha's hair on his clothing which came off when he planted the note.

Or perhaps Sam and Roman are/were somehow involved together and the death was an accident?

Dannii's Diary from the Great walk to Beijing walk

Well...This Is It. I am embarking on a life changing journey that involves Cancer - but this is the first one I have chosen! I have had family and many friends who have survived this disease, and two dear friends that I have lost. Cancer seems to be more and more a part of everyone's life. Why? - I want to scream as loud as I can.

Everyone taking part in Great Walk to Beijing is on a personal mission - survivors, medics and others like me who have seen in close quarters this devastating illness.

Two flights from Melbourne I end up at the beautiful Ritz Carlton in Beijing. After checking in and meeting a few of the team, we hear a famous Jamaican called AJ singing in the lobby...but opera! It wasn't exactly what I was expecting to hear on my first visit to China....but it was "a yes from me" - this guy moves us with his vocal ability.

I ask him if he will join us on the walk, come meet Olivia and sing for her too. Apparently the wheels are in motion for AJ to meet us on the wall - so before I have even made my first sponsored steps, I have recruited a random.

A welcome nights sleep in a bed that is like a cloud, then we are up early to depart Beijing - a city of 16 million people with smog thick enough it cuts the view of the sun.

Our first flight lands in Xian. We touch down briefly enough to reboard a flight to Jiayuguan. We are now in Western China in a desert city that seems positively deserted.

After two days of non stop travel, I am over air transport and can't wait to get my walking boots on a ‘Get physical'!

Love and Dim Sum from Disco Dannii in China x

Tip of the day: carry toilet paper - you will never find that in the public toilets

Fact of the day: 8 is a lucky number and 'Eggplant' is what they say in Chinese when they take happy snaps - like we say "cheese"

Shane Warne gets a small dose of karma

Cricket legend Shane Warne has crashed his luxury Mercedes into a Melbourne tram — and a local man caught it on camera.
Warne was travelling through a roundabout at Middle Park, in inner Melbourne, about 5pm yesterday when his black Mercedes crashed into the 112 city-bound tram.
Video footage of the incident was captured by local resident Tim Rose and obtained by National Nine News

Mr Rose said he heard the tram's bell ring from his nearby flat followed by the sound of screeching brakes and then a loud crash.
"I was just filming my three-month old boy Toshan and heard the ding, ding, ding and the crash," the Daily Telegraph newspaper quoted him saying.
"That's when I looked up and saw Shane Warne's car, the Mercedes, spin out of control.
"He brought it to a halt, just missing a car that was parked."
Mr Rose's own video footage records his surprised reaction when he discovers the driver's identity. "I think it's Shane Warne," he says after zooming in on the accident scene.
Warne is seen exchanging details with the tram driver and giving him an autograph.

"He spoke to the tram driver, gave his autograph and drove off," Mr Rose said.
A spokeswoman for Warne confirmed to The Age newspaper the cricketer was involved in a crash where a "tram ran into the back of him".
But a Yarra Trams spokesman told the newspaper that trams have the right of way on roundabouts.

Mr Rose, a Hare Krishna devotee, said he plans to sell shards of Warne's broken brake lights on an online auction and give the proceeds to a Krishna food charity.
There was no damage to the tram and no one was injured in the incident, but it did result in a five-minute delay for trams on the 112 route.

Appreciating: Bec Cartwright's stunningly poptastic album!

I admit it. I'm not afraid to say that I love myself some Bec Cartwright! This album is totally poptastic, 3 smash-hit singles were released from this CD, and honestly it had the potential to be so much more. As a result, I wanted to take this oppertunity to upload the album for you so you can all appreciate this little gem. I believe the CD is out of print, hence my uploading of the CD, however if it turns out that it IS still in print, then I am quite happy to remove the link.

It was released in Australia on June 16th 2003 and featured the 3 smash-hit singles All Seats Taken, On The Borderline and A Matter of Time. My personal favourite on the CD however is the popalicious "Drive By" which I think is criminal it wasn't released!

The videos were equally poptastic All Seats Taken featured Bec dancing around a bowling alley, On The Borderline looked like a scene out of BMX Bandits or something, and A Matter of Time, which is my personal fave shows Bec wandering around Sydney Airport looking lost. At least I assume it's Sydney Airport. I can't imagine Bec going overseas specifically to shoot a video in an airport. You can see the video below:

Overall, Bec shows us what pure, fun pop is all about!

I pray to God on a daily basis that The Bec will release a followup album, but since Lleyton seems to be the kind of person who likes to be in control, I very much doubt this is going to happen. Perhaps one day she'll return to Home and Away!

Holly Brisley's stunning comeback... as a cartoon character

It's a shame we won't get to physically see the sexpot that is Holly Brisley, however it is nice to know that she's not out of work since she was last spotted on Home and Away in a brief cameo earlier in the year.

Holly will be playing one of four main characters in the cartoon and voice recording finished in December, followed by screening next year.

Support the Aussie Entertainers on Livvy's 'Great Wall of China' walk thingie!

Get behind your favourite Aussie celebrity and sponser them to help find a cure for cancer! Watch as such celebs such as Joanna Griggs, Angela Bishop, Annalise Braakensiek, Samantha Reilly and Richard Wilkins to name a few take on the Great Wall!

Of course, if you want to sponser Dannii on this walk, she's being a traitor and walking alongside 'Team UK'. Or maybe she was dumped in the 'Team UK' team because Australia has enough walkers and no one really wants to listen to her promoting her upcoming release. As much as I love Dannii, I don't think I could cope spending the whole day walking alongside her going on about "now, Nathan has confirmed that my latest CD, Club Disco is released on April 19th, however my Australian record company, Centeral Station are confirming a release date of May 9th!"

Although, it is great to see that Dannii is the 5th most sponsered celebrity overall!

Flop Tart Natalie Imbruglia - First look at her new movie

HER hair might be a mousy brown mess and in need of deep conditioning, but Natalie Imbruglia's role in South Australian-made movie Elise is still likely to turn heads.

The first official picture of the new-and-improved, twice-as-serious Imbruglia has been released ahead of a marketing push for the Cannes Film Festival next month.

Given that work is continuing on the film's editing and soundtrack, it's unlikely that the production company, Essential Pictures, will be showing anyone more than a few clips of the $2.4 million movie at Cannes.

But it'll be hoping Imbruglia's popularity as a singer helps it stitch up international deals.

Elise is an adaptation of Adelaide author Georgia Blain's novel, Closed for Winter, and was shot over five weeks late last year.

Imbruglia plays the withdrawn and quiet Elise Silverton.
