    Gotye (he sings somebody i used to know), Really, well if we knew him for anything other than this one song that is all most people know from commercial radio you wouldn’t have to write something so insulting. This very well accomplished artist won male artist of the year in 2007 (an ARIA award but not to mention his many other accomplishments) but now hes the “somebody i used to know guy”. How embarrassing and insulting.

      ‘Hearts a Mess’ is one of my fave songs of all time. Agree that he’s an amazing artist and it’s a shame that he’s only known for this one song by the masses. BUT if it exposes more people to his broad range of music then that can only be a good thing right?

        Yes, true but i’m still not sure if he wants to be that mainstream, there are plenty of indie/alternative artists that don’t make it commercially but have a massive loyal following. Anyway i cant speak for him though. Agree, Hearts a Mess is one of my fave too. I just wish him lots of success on the back of his total talent not just one song, he deserves it.

    Not sure if this has already been noted, but someone needs to suggest to the Blue Wiggle (Anthony) to maybe lay off the teeth bleach.

    I find Delta Goodrem to be really boring. Has she made any music recently?

    I love what Missy is wearing, those red pants make her legs look a million miles long.

    It’s great to see Julia Gillard there, it’s nice to see a more relaxed and human side to her.

    I adore Clare Bowditch, I wish I could see more of her dress. She’s so lovely and makes beautiful music.

    I prefer Katie Noonan and her music from when she was in George.

    Musicians can’t dress. There, I said it. They make the Brownlow women look stylish. And that’s saying something! PS What’s with all the black and lace-ish stuff this year? Dreadful. Roll on the Oscars, I say.

    I am not critical of Julia attending the ceremony. It humanises her, and also shows support for the music industry and the arts which the government funds. It’s three or four hours out of her year – no harm done.

      I’m with you. All Prime Ministers of all stripes do stuff like this. Hawke did. Howard did. Menzies did. Whether it was sport or arts awards. People getting narky about this are asking a bit much. It’s Sunday night!

        I hope she gets overtime ;)

        She looked like she was having fun

        I wonder what her playlist would be made up of? I think she’d be into The Bee Gees, and probably listens to some Kylie, and down with the kids by listening to Drapht. (I once asked a very senior member of the org I work for what her playlist was – my manager said only I’d do something like that! But I think by asking her about her music tastes, it humanised her and gave all of us in the room something to relate to.)

            Nope, she was on the cover of a ladies mag this week, talking about her pregnancy in the article inside, I think – Guy Sebastian apparently had a race to save her life. I didn’t read past that coverline.

      I’ve seen photographers call out to a celeb and ask them to pose a particular way (think Jennifer Love Hewitt and her trademark glance back over her shoulder).

      Another reason might be that the celeb is doing it unconsciously. I took a stack of photos of my SIL at her baby shower and in *every single one* she has her hand on the bump. She was horrified later – didn’t realise she’d done it!

    Goyte and his wife (sister??) couldn’t look more totally indie cool if they tried. seriously.

    Jules Egan: you’re pregnant, we get it.

    Bit embarrassing that Julie Gillard is there. Reminds me of that time Barack Obama crashed the MTV Music Awards. Whats that you say? That never happened? He is too busy running a country to attend award shows? Exactly.

    When will Ruby Rose’s 5 mins be up?

    Zoe Foster looks STUNNING.
