Bob Ellis reminisces about his university days
|
Who Weekly magazine has confirmed what many climate scientists had already suspected: that 2005 was officially the Hottest Year Ever, and that 2006 promised to be “even hotter.” The 22-page, 450-word special report in the Hot Years issue was compiled by a team of two editorial assistants, before being peer-reviewed by the magazine’s sub-editors. It presents strong photographic evidence of rising global temperatures in a variety of exotic locations, often in conjunction with toned abs and dresses that leave nothing to the imagination.
Network Ten’s smash hit reality show Australian Drug Mule is down to its final nine contestants after the dramatic exit of sentimental favourite Van Nguyen on last Friday’s elimination show. The controversial elimination dominated the entertainment press during the week, with strong campaigns mounted by supporters to keep the 25 year old on the show. But even a candlelight vigil was not enough to save Nguyen, who became the third contestant to be eliminated after early favourite Schapelle Corby and ‘intruder’ Michelle Leslie. 
Lleyton Hewitt and Bec Cartwright have cause to celebrate doubly today after their newborn baby girl spat the dummy for the first time, only hours after her birth. “It was a magnificent effort,” said Hewitt. “She bawled, she yelled, I think she might have even mouthed the word ‘spastic’ at me. And it was all over nothing. I couldn’t be prouder of her.”
Janet Jackson has revealed that she has a secret daughter, conceived through a ‘diaphragm malfunction’ during the 1986 Superbowl. Jackson says she has kept the secret for over 18 years in the hope that her daughter may never meet her uncle Michael. “It’s tough being a kid these days,” Janet said. “And it’s a lot tougher if you spend your afternoons drinking ‘Jesus juice’ while thumbing through your uncle’s porn collection.” 
1980s teen heart-throb Corey Haim longs for the glory days of his failing career, when his name was a still regular feature in “not hot” lists. “I’d love to go to the opening of an envelope these days, but the invites aren’t coming in like they used to,” says the co-star of Snowboard Academy and Prayer of the Rollerboys. Only a few years ago Haim divided his time between telemovie auditions, personal testimonials for Tai-Bo, and the ever-demanding remnants of his fan club. Now the former child-star spends his days at home, poring over old newspaper reviews savaging his 1989 biopic Me, Myself and I.
