Oh, Ben Cousins. The footballer who raises public humiliation to an art form.
I can't remember off the top of my head who he plays for, but he's an Aussie rules-er with all kinds of drug problems. I think it's mainly booze, but it wouldn't shock me one bit if it was other stuff as well. He even got into some huge bar brawl (with one of his teammates, no less) that left him with a broken arm and minus his captaincy. I'm kinda surprised you didn't hear about that.
And Howard is just so clueless, he has been in office way too long. Every time I hear another story about him I find myself shaking my head and saying "Yep. That would be our Prime Minister."

Kath and Kim move to seven. Hopefully this will be better for them than when Tony Squires and The Fat went to seven or when Good News Week went to ten. This should go in the True Confessions thread-but I am kinda sad that the Davis Hicks thing is over as I love Maj. Michael Mori. Where will I go now to find awesome, cute military guys with sticky-out ears? Thanks for the info on Ben Cousins.

Ben Cousins plays for West Coast Eagles. Oh the knowledge you'll gain growing up in an AFL household.

Seven're about three years too late: the last Kath&Kim telemovie was so bad it's hard to see them wringing many more jokes out.

Booze appears to be the least of Ben Cousins problems - supposedly he is addicted to ice. The club said something about him hopefully being back to play the second half of the season, which is around June. Mmm, I doubt it! I feel sorry for the poor bastard.

Ben Cousins has been sent to Promises at Malibu - shame, he just missed Britney there!
As for those allegations against Thorpie, the French magazine that published the story, L'Equipe, is notorious for getting the inside scoop on sports drug testing ... but getting the core of the story wrong. They also "outed" Lance Armstrong as a drug cheat - when like Thorpie he also returned an abnormal drug test. But abnormal does not actually mean drug use and Armstrong was not found to have used drugs.

I saw Thorpe's latest press conference and despite (or maybe because) he looked so dishelved and hot and bothered, I found him particularly attractive. I think he will be cleared of any wrong-doing as ASADA originally dismissed the case and they don't seem rank with corruption. It's too bad this has overshadowed Libby Lenton's spectacular showing. Amongst Australians, are women swimmers as adored?

I don't think anyone, male or female, is quite as adored as Thorpey. He's Australia's first twu wuv. But yes, the gal swimmers generally do get a lot of attention and kudos too; their achievements are unfortunately just being swamped right now by the drug rumours surrounding Thorpe.
And yep, Thorpe is totally hot. His stupid haircuts, stupid pearls, stupid one piece swimming costumes ... still hot. And not gay ... because that doesn't fit with my fantasy (however unlikely that may be)! ;D

I don't think he is gay either, and one of the reasons I love him is how he has handled all the gay accusations (not that being gay is bad its just how I feel whenever somebody starts on calling out and applying the 'gay' label like it is a negative thing). For a young, Australian, male, athlete the way he just goes, eh whatever makes me love him so much more.
Does anyone think that Rove's ratings run will last given he is up against new CSI and Greys Anatomy most weeks? I don't think the show has changed enough (like being funny and not ripping off other peoples bits) to survive.
