Sydney-based blog Face I'd Like to Slap, which was set up through Tumblr three months ago, had so many unique daily visitors yesterday that it almost crashed. The Gossip Girl-inspired site is designed as a game where members of the public can upload a photograph of someone "who deserves a fully warranted slap to the face" and the site's regulator will select the best ones to be published online. According to The Telegraph, celebrities who have previously been featured on the blog include Celebrity Apprentice contestant Didier Cohen and Lara Bingle, who (more)...

The celebrity agent - who was facing elimination with model Cohen and choreographer Jason Coleman on Tuesday's (November 8) show after a catwalk challenge - said that he only told boss Mark Bouris that he had read about Cohen's drug-riddled past in the papers because he was "clutching at straws" to save himself. Markson told the Herald Sun: "[I felt like the] devil in disguise. I was clutching at straws to try and stay in because I really thought it would be Jason and Didier on the chopping block, not me.
