Prince Harry seemed very pleased to meet Lady Gaga on Monday, and even more happy about her choice of low-cut frock.
The party prince met the pop queen at the WellChild Charity Benefit concert at Royal Albert Hall.
The Lady’s dress is quite revealing. The Prince of Fun’s gaze is seen to dip. Can’t blame a fellow for looking, we suppose!
Harry went on to break royal protocol by putting his arm around the singer as the posed for pictures.
Former Labor PM’s Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd featured in The Killing Season.
2. WHEN it came to saving Australia from the global financial crisis, Labor was brilliant, but when came to holding their own house together?
Labor was pathetic.
Part of the problem, as revealed in the new Labor-years documentary, The Killing Season on the ABC last night, was that so many of the players in the Rudd and Gillard governments loathed each other, and with a ferocity so intense, it eclipsed even their hatred for the other side.
That’s fatal in politics. You end up eating your own.
While many viewers tuned in last night expecting either Rudd or Gillard to steal the show – and maybe hoping for one or the other to end up on top – it was actually Greg Combet delivering the unforgettable lines.
This guy – so often so quiet when he was in office – has the quaint Australian habit of telling it like it is down pat.
Combet told reporter Sarah Ferguson that he ‘had the sh-ts big time” with both Rudd and Gillard when he heard about their plan to overthrow Kim Beazley.
In talking about the party’s decision to install Mark Latham, he actually used the F-word.
But then Kevin came in, and for a while there, Kevin was brilliant, with economists around the world lining up to praise him for saving Australia from a financial calamity.
The Pink Batts scheme was part of that, but that scheme was always going to be open to abuse, and anyone with any experience in the real world really should have known that.
In the end, the pink batts also killed people. Young people. And so began Labor’s rapid and screaming descent into chaos, the second chapter of which will go to air next Tuesday.
Treasurer Joe Hockey has come under fire for his comments about housing affordability.
3.TIMES like this should be GREAT for the Coalition. With Labor’s old enemies kicking themselves to death on The Killing Season, all Abbott’s mob really needs to do is sit back and stay quiet.
But no, because they have Joe Hockey He has put his foot in it – again – by saying that all anyone needs to do to buy a house in Sydney or any of the other astronomically overpriced capital cities is get a job.
No, really: quizzed about how tough it’s proving for anyone with less than a million bucks to buy a house in Sydney, Hockey snorted, and said: ‘The starting point for a first homebuyer us to get a good job that pays good money … that’s readily affordable, more affordable than ever. (It’s more affordable to) borrow money for a first home now than it’s ever been.”
Well of course. I mean, why didn’t child care workers on $400 a week think of that?
Why didn’t nurses?
Why didn’t school teachers? Why didn’t check-out chicks? They just aren’t working hard enough. Or, as Senator Lee Rhiannon said on Twitter, maybe Mr Hockey should spend ‘less time chomping cigars and more time in the real world.’
Video of two women getting into a bust up at a Walmart goes viral.
4. A fight between two legging-clad women at a Walmart store in Indiana is everywhere on the internet right now.
These two gals – previously unknown to each other – roll through the aisles for a good eight minutes, knocking down shampoo bottles, and cussing each other.
One gets hold of a shampoo bottle and squirts the other one in the face. She’s encouraging her six-year-old boy to get involved too, and the good little soldier does as bidden.
Speaking anthropologically, the most curious thing about the floor-crawling scrag-fight is that nobody steps in to put a stop to it, despite there being many witnesses.
A bloke can be heard saying that a man can’t break it up. A woman will have to do it.
A woman says no, because next thing you know, you’d have a lawsuit on your hands, which might the right. Because this is America.
5. A CANADIAN woman has found her long-last father working as an Elvis impersonator in Thailand.
In one of those stories that will probably, surely – oh, come on, really? – turn out not to be true, Melonie Dodaro, 46, says she tracked down her Dad, Cees de Jong thanks to postings she made on Twitter and Facebook.
“His name is Cees de Jong, born March 2, 1946/47 (or maybe even 1948),” she wrote on Facebook. “Born I think in Zwolle, Netherlands … left to go to Sydney Australia. I’m not sure what country he currently lives in.”
Turns out her Dad is now Colin Young, and he lives in the Thai city of Pattaya, where he has a new daughter called Priscilla. True!
“Within 72 hours, I was on the phone speaking with my father after a few key people connected the dots,” Dodaro wrote on her blog.
A naked Miley Cyrus tries to break the internet with the help of a rather reluctant farm animal.
6. REMEMBER when Kim Kardashian tried to ‘break the internet’ by showing everyone her bum?
Now Miley Cyrus has posed for the same magazine – it’s called Paper – just as naked, but with a pig.
The pig idea came about because Miley is a vegan. She wanted to show how pigs aren’t bacon. They’re pets.
For all her antics, the interview suggests that Miley’s heart is in the right place. She recently launched a the Happy Hippie Foundation, a philanthropic venture designed to raise funds and awareness for homeless and LGBT youth. “We can’t keep noticing these kids too late,” she says.
Caitlyn Jenner’s cover of Vanity Fair.
7. CAITLYN Jenner is being sued by the family of the woman who died in a fatal accident in which she was involved, back when she was still called Bruce.
According to legal papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court show that Jessica Steindorff, whose Prius was hit in the collision on the Pacific Coast Highway, says Jenner “negligently, carelessly, recklessly and wantonly drove” into her car.
It is the third legal case to be launched in the wake of the accident, which came as Bruce wrestled with when and how to come out as Caitlyn.
The crash killed one of Jenner’s neighbours, Kim Howe, whose step-children, Dana Redmond and William Howe, are also suing.
