Quote of the week:“We got stupid pommies coming out,” said Shane Warne as he questioned cricket vice-captain Michael Clarke about the upcoming Ashes series during the Shane Warne Foundation lunch at the Palladium.

Clarke also took questions from the audience, including a probing query from a bubbly, blonde poppet wanting to know whether the formerly engaged Clarke was still single. Clarke grinned from ear to ear as he replied emphatically in the affirmative.

And Kath and Kim actor Glenn Robbins squirmed at the same lunch when he was reminded that back in 1983 he filmed a cheesy denim jeans television advertisement.

Busy songstress Kate Ceberano is putting some finishing touches on a new album to soothe parents and children. The collection of lullabies is hoping to fill a gap in the music market according to Ceberano.

Toni Collette, pipped for an Emmy by Edie Falco, will return to the small screen tonight in Series 2 of United States of Tara, which promises to be even more outrageous and unpredictable than Series One.

At least eight football WAGS have begged divine designer Aurelio Costarella for a Brownlow gown but his loyalty remains with just one gorgeous figure:Rebecca Twigley, fiancé of Chris Judd. Costarella flitted over from Perth to open his new collaborative store Eliza Baker in Prahran, squeezing in a Brownlow medal dress- fitting for the stunning Twigley.

Animal Kingdom actor Sullivan Stapleton has directed a short film about the dangers of knives, called Live No Fear. Sullivan, who has his sights set on LA, mentored the youngsters who wrote and performed in the anti-violence film. A private screening is being held for those involved this Friday at Madman Studios.

Spotted:Hawthorn legend and Brownlow medallist Robert DiPierdomenico, meticulously groomed, dressed in a suit and lathered in potent after-shave, battling the peak hour crowds on a city tram.

Calling all dads to be kids for a day this Sunday.St Kilda's Luna Park is giving free rides and handing out Chiko Rolls (yep, that's right) for Father's Day.
