Das Racist have grown on me over the past year. I'm feeling that they could be primed for a tilt at crossover success. The vid for Michael Jackson is pretty much the greatest.
I'm tipping a Big...

That the federal liberal party have hired a specialist advertising/consulting firm "Splash Consulting" - who's specialty is "SheMarketing" - to improve the image of Tony Abbott in the lead up to the next election.
The whole rubbish about our new prime minister Julia Gillard to be given a clothing allowance to ensure our leader avoids future fashion faux pas.
WTF???? I mean who cares what she wears! If this is the stuff Aussies worry about then I am moving to switzerland
The best celebrity scandal I've heard recently is that Toadie from Neighbours is a crack fiend... Read it on the interwebs...yes a massive bum crack fan
Four words and two air quotes: Ben Cousins. "sleeping tablets".
Yeah, right.
george michael,toilets,no pants,erection need i say more!
Can't name names here .. but suffice to say that a well known television personality/celebrity gardener found themselves in a sticky situation on a recent visit to the troops in Afghanistan when they mistook a farmer's hospitable invitation for a call for help over a complaint. It seems the farmer, after taking the celebrity up the Khyber Pass, didn't want to share his "chronic" irrigation problems at all. The celebrity returned, having seen this as an almost spiritual experience, saying they'd never felt so cleansed in all their life.
Boris Becker and the Broom Cupboard.
F1 guy and the Nazi Dominatrix affair.
Garry from Masterchef caught using ICE - dry ice, crushed whatever he can get his hands on in the name of blanching
My pick would be Tiger Woods - proving to us all that you can't have your Kate and Edith too :-)
Bingle's single! The scandal that began with Brendan Fevola's camera phone, spread to the Australian cricket team, and led to stumps being called on the partnership between Australia's own Posh & Becks: Michael Clarke and Lara Bingle.
Ben Cousins and his former manager Ricky Nixon both hospitalised after adverse reactions to 'sleeping pills'? Who will be next? Sam Newman?
