Mercedes Corby on the cover of Ralph (which means to vomit). No airbrushes were used in the making of Mercedes' beauty...

You remember Mercedes Corby, right? She’s the elegant, graceful sister of Australia’s former-favourite marijuana smuggler, Schapelle (who is, herself, very elegant and graceful). And now, her elegance and grace have been noticed and smeared all over the front of the tasteful gentleman’s magazine, Ralph.
Smeared, readers.

If you need a bit of reminding, Mercedes is the Corby moll young lady who fought desperately to expound her sister Schapelle’s innocence during her trial… mainly by yelling racist obscenities and whinging to the Australian press.

But that was before she started doing the rounds of paid interviews, benefiting from her sister’s incarceration in Bali for smuggling counterfeit boogie-boards.

Then her friend, Jodie Powers did an interview with the network that couldn’t pay the Corbys enough for interviews, revealing that they had all been heavily involved in the counterfeit boogie-board racket for years, even go so far as to produce pictures of Schapelle and Mercedes smoking the illicit boogie-boards.

Of course, the price fetched for counterfeit boogie-boards in Bali is a lot lower to the price you can get for them in Australia, raising questions about the intelligence of the Corby cartel. Questions which can be answered by simply spending a bit of time looking over the interviews and media footage of the eloquent Gold Coast family.

You can’t just become a hairdresser. It takes years to be qualified, otherwise you’d see heaps of teenage girls doing it.

The family home, Corbywood on the Gold Coast with a few spare counterfeit boogie boards lying around...

The Corbys family caravan home on the Gold Coast is a testament to the traditional, Aussie, boogie-board smuggling way of life.

The young (and beautiful) Corby sisters would play in the grounds of the caravan park estate, learning how to smuggle boogie-boards by practicing with their barbie dolls (whom they also practiced their hairdressing on).

After a few years, their proud parents were watching them grow up into BEAUTIFUL young boogie-board smugglers with enough grace and elegance to be on the cover of such prestigious publications as Ralph Magazine… And shows like Today / Tonight.

The undeniable beauty of the graceful Corby women. You just try denying it...

The world’s most handsome, original and now long lived band, Wolfmother, have decided to call it quits citing ‘creative differences’ as the cause behind the split.

For one of the least original bands in the known Universe to use the absolute least original excuse for splitting up should hardly come as a shock. But the fact that the band’s ‘people’ have been talking about ‘ego issues’ is positively hilarious.

Those of you unfamiliar with Wolfmother’s brilliant and creative work have, unfortunately missed out on seeing the band in their original line-up now, but luckily you could just go and listen to some Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath or The Who albums and you would get the full experience… Though somewhat more genuine.

The band’s frontman and most-handsome-man-in-the-World, Andrew Stockdale has said that he’ll keep on making Wolfmother albums with other musicians. We have no clue as to how he’ll come up with new ideas without the ‘creative’ input of his band-mates… oh wait… he’ll be OK.

With all of the built-up resent of picked on high-school student, his next few albums are sure to be blisteringly original crackers that further endear him to the hearts of brainless 12 year-old girls who don’t haven’t discovered the fact that music existed before MySpace.
