What we got?

I am so excited about the Big Day Out that it is just not funny! The second line up announcement has been made…check out the complete line up here:

Some great Aussie talent to do us proud in the shape of: Jet, The Sleepy Jackson, Little Birdy, Bob Evans, Eskimo Joe, John Butler and You Am I. Wow, it is good to be Australian…fair Perth/W.A. contingent there too – I wonder what is in the water over there and where I can get me some?!?

International-act wise, the festival is not exactly hard up for big names with the likes of Lily Allen and The Streets being added to the already huge line up compromising The Killers, Muse, My Chemical Romance, Tool and Violent Femmes. Whoo Hoo!

Speaking of shows, Jet has been confirmed to perform at the Make Poverty History show. They will join Sarah Blasko, Eskimo Joe, Hilltop Hoods, John Butler Trio and Paul Kelly in the show designed to “provide Australians with a voice in a global movement that stands in solidarity with the worlds poor”. Great cause, great line up…tickets are free – names are randomly selected from an SMS database – unfortunately my name was not chosen :o( But all is not lost, I believe the show will be telecast (delayed) on Channel 10 and shown on My Space.

How is Bono, joining Kylie on stage last night?!? It is not fair…Sydney people get everything. Oh well, rumor has it that Kylie will join Robbie on stage for his final show of his world tour…which is in MELBOURNE!!! Please let it be true! :o)

Props to Britney Spears for finally getting rid of K-Fed – shame it took her two pregnancies and a shattered reputation to face the fact that she was being used…but better late than never I suppose. Meanwhile, their alleged sex tape is said to have mysteriously been leaked on to the net following the announcement of their separation…anyone seen it? That should do wonders while she is trying to lose her trailer-trash, skanky image for the release of her new album in 2007.

It should be interesting to see who makes it to the Australian Idol final tonight, with Mark Holden stating on radio this morning that he would like Dean Geyer to win. Does the public agree??? I wonder how Jess and Damien (and their family and friends) felt hearing that Mark has a favorite? Surely that is not really very professional of him???

P.S. Love to Rove and the Emmett family following the loss of beautiful, and ever-positive and smiling Belinda. It is such a tragic loss.
