I've done some crazy stuff in my time: dined with Kylie Minogue, nattered to a naked Alyssa Milano (oh, AND a kit-less Hugh Jackman), been hit on (kind of) by Portia De Rossi, straddled a dyke's bike in Mardi Gras, judged the Miss Nude Australia contest, spent an hour being screamed at by Anthony LaPaglia ...

I'm not even minty pastel about... Continue Reading →
My week: A bedazzled potty, bogan blow-ups and putting my foot in it (yet again)
