Online Weekly
By Lisa Lawton | 24 Mar, 2008
So celebrity hook ups are interesting because, well let’s face it, celebrities are interesting, and hook ups are interesting - put the two together and they’re even more interesting. But what makes this particular story so newsworthy is the amount of stuff that’s gone on, online about it. With anything like this you’ll get the internet all in atwitter, but this one takes the cake - the Nikki Sixx (bassist of Motley Crue if you’re to young to know/care) and Kat Von D (ex Miami Ink/now LA ink tattooist/reality tv star) hook up, that is.

Well, well it’s a new year, a new online weekly column, and my partner in crime, Hans has unfortunately left me for a big swanky full-time job. Last year we covered all sorts of exciting and extremely, dare I say it… important stuff, such as the train wreck known as Britney (don’t worry, plenty more to come this year – she forever provides a source of inspiration for this column) More

When flicking through an Australian fashion magazine recently, we noticed a whole mess of snapshots of a young-ish looking girl dominating the “what to wear” sections. In all the photos, she wore pretty awesome outfits, had great ‘it took me two hours to look like I just got out of bed’ hair, a cheeky grin, and basically looked like she was having all kinds of fun. The pictures weren’t paparazzi style; they were more like the kind of photos you take when you are going out with your friends – grinning at the camera and making stupid hand gestures. This intrigued us. Who was this girl with the fabulous-looking life? More

This week we weren’t sure what we should write about, but then, we saw this awesome video and had no choice but to discuss it. It is the creepiest thing ever. Basically it is this dude who really, really cares about Britney Spears lying down and talking with his face real close to the camera. He wants us all to ‘leave Britney alone’, although he certainly hasn’t, his room is plastered with Britney photos and memorabilia and he gets pretty emotional about it. More

The online world was rocked by the news that Vanessa Hudgens, star of High School Musical, got naked on camera.
Yeah, that happened. And to start with, let me state that I feel rather sorry for poor V-Hudge. The photo was meant for the eyes of her dreamy boyfriend (and co star, how Disney is that? Sigh…) Zac Efron, and some unnamed third party got a hold of the photo and sold it off. More

What do you see beneath the slinky slip?
This week’s article is dedicated to what is probably the best thing we have seen all year, and yes, we saw it online. But despite this, it is actually from a TV show – All My Children, to be exact – and it is a crime that we don’t get it in New Zealand. More

Who is the most obscure character on Gilmore Girls?
After receiving so much wonderful fan mail in the letters pages in the last half of the semester, we decided it was time we had to give something back to the fans. So we wrote this week’s piece on a topic close to our and your hearts - The Gilmore Girls. Seeing as our fact checkers are back from holiday, we thought maybe we should even go…dare we say it…a little further into obscurity.

Oh the irony of being Ving Rhames
A disclaimer: this article is not strictly about stuff that is ‘online’. The information, however, was sourced entirely from the Internet, so perhaps that counts for something. Anyway, since only two people read this column (who are, incidentally, also the people who write it) we can do whatever we like. If you object to the lack of online content, we suggest you turn to the page which has pictures of web sites on it, and have a good stare. Or else go on the Internet or something. More

Okay, so having explored the world of MySpace in depth, VampireFreaks.com a little bit, and even getting our toes slightly wet thinking about how weird SecondLife is, surely there must be something else we have yet to do? Yeah, there is. It’s called Bebo (www.bebo.com). More

Second Life. It’s a bizarre concept, but a pretty inevitable one. The ultimate playground to let your fantasies of having ‘magikal powers’ or being really hot, or whatever, run riot. People take this stuff pretty seriously - there is even an online newspaper (www.secondlifeherald.com) More

We all know that MySpace is weird. The whole concept is totally wacko, and that’s why the writers of this column enjoy it so much. But this week, our enjoyment was taken to a whole new level - the search for Lindsay Lohan’s REAL MySpace page. Don’t ask us why we did this – there’s no real reason apart from boredom and a thirst for challenge. To totally destroy the suspense for all you Li-Lo fans out there, we did not find it. In fact, it may not exist (as you guys should know by now, Lindsay Lohan is probably way, way too cool to have a MySpace). But whatever, we searched for it anyway. And what did we find? Total weirdos. More

Millie Holmes - It was the cleavage that did it. Blame the TV show, they’re probably all on P.

For our last column of the semester, we’d thought we’d do something a bit different. Instead of the usual intelligent, insightful analysis of all things Internet related that you all have grown accustomed to, we decided to write about someone much closer to our hearts. Someone we are personally attached to. Britney.

We’ve got MySpace, why the hell do we need the rest of them?
Everyone has MySpace these days, so it makes sense that others have tried to cash in. Hence the many more ‘networking’ sites which have spewed forth on to the web.

This week, we were short on time and ideas. So we decided to go to the lowest common denominator and talk about stupid (but fun) websites that we get into, because we are procrastinating gossip mongers.

Midlife Crisis ahoy. Manson’s right smack in the midst of one. We just know it. And here are the reasons why:

This week, we decided to be really topical. Just to, you know, be kind of different. So what could we do to be topical? Oh, I don’t know - how about old Rockstar Supernova?

Keira Knightley’s dreams finally come true
So, the inevitable has finally happened and someone (www.sinfulcomics.com) has made a Pirates of the Caribbean porno comic. But it was always going to happen. More

For when you are decaying you hear many wishes whispered in the wind, Unable to tune them out because of the torment from the countless ways you have sinned. Not appreciating what’s around us will only lead to our end, For when you are captive in the Underworld, you see nothing but the dead.
