A strange rumor reprinted sans fact check!
Being a minor league gossip-monger is sometimes tedious work. My ear is always pressed so firmly to the ground that I fear it may soon cauliflower. The rumors are, very often, tedious themselves. Like, any vibration having to do with number 44 in the world Marco Fernandez lead me straight to snooze-ville.
But Miley Cyrus and Stephanie Gilmore in a food fight? Gimme gimme!
It was published right here four short weeks ago in all of its glory and began:
Forgive the lack of accurate detail and possible meanders into non-truth. I was listening to someone else’s conversation, eating Chinese food and drinking a ridiculously sweet/fizzy rosé. Easy to get very mixed up.
Not the most rock solid of starts but completely still completely true, I think. Just fuzzy!
Anyhow it was picked up by major league gossip-mongers the The Daily Telegraph directly and without fact check. Let’s read!
In what is one of the stranger stories to land on Confidential’s desk, Aussie surfer Stephanie Gilmore has reportedly had a cake fight with US actor turned singer Miley Cyrus.
We weren’t even aware they knew one another, however apparently Gilmore and her boyfriend were dining at Soho House in Hollywood with Cyrus and her Australian fiance Liam Hemsworth when they decided to smash some tequila shots.
After being separated, Gilmore apparently picked up a cupcake and threw it at Miley Cyrus’s boob.
It hasn’t yet been confirmed or established whether the cake was thrown in anger or humour.
And how do I know it was picked up from your beloved BeachGrit?
Oh I never kiss and tell! I’m just happy to feel like a star for one brief moment. To look through the glass door of the almost big leagues.
Is there anything better than Throwing Disqus? I’ll tell you. There is not.

Derek has the most disarming smile.
Definitely BitchGrit for an honest rebranding. It will work, it’s innate within the talent.
It wasn’t in the gossip section.
I picked this up this morning down at bondi pavilion whilst drinking my organic fair trade guatemalan coffee with a dash of activated almond milk and a happy euthanised bacon & egg on yeast free sourdough.
Front page boys. Just wait for Murdoch’s call for a buy out offer.
Congrats.

Oh you are the best ever.
You think I’m making this up? Proof attached here. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
where do i learn this dark art? marvellous.
I feel we should have some sort of international Photoshop competition.
I’d be well impressed, if you could top Throwing Disqus’s work of late…
There’s a gulf in quality but I know some junior designers who are raring to go to take this bastard down. I’m drinking coffee, chaining cigs and supervising as art director.
lol
You break my heart DeSouza-Palooza.
Rumors swirl from later on that night in Hollywood

Bit worried about your hairline in that shot Chas.
Is it solid?
A cowlick! I have the most giant cowlick straight out the front.
that cowlick looks like it’s hiding something.
Vodka!
chas is the one reading the paper in the car, i think.
You know you’re doing well when the Daily Telegraph picks up your stories. Demand a raise!
Then again, if the Terror had fact-checked this it’d have been a first time ever.
