I’ll be honest with you: I can’t stand casting shows. I can’t stand TV at all. I don’t even have one. But I got a lot of mails recently about a guy in one of the “Idol” oder “Superstar” shows and I have to admit: A few of them a bloody cute ;) So let’s get straight to the point here. I picked a few boys out of the thousands of videos at YouTube and I want you to decide who is the best, the cutest, the Milk Star 2008 ;o)
Watch the videos and cast your vote below. The poll is open ‘till Halloween. Have fun!

Nude Art Inquiry dropped
Jun 7th
Australian police have dropped an obscenity investigation into photos of nude children at an art gallery that sparked a major debate on censorship. Investigators said no charges would be brought over Bill Henson’s portraits, which feature naked 13-year-olds. The decision appeared to clear the way for reopening his exhibit, shut on 22 May, at Sydney’s Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery.
Pornography or Art? The Controversial Photography of Bill Henson
Over the last fortnight Sydney’s Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery was scheduled to host an exhibition showcasing the work of acclaimed Australian photographer, Bill Henson. However, just hours prior to its programmed debut, the gallery was stormed by police confiscating 12 works on display and another 20 from the storeroom, while the gallery website was also forced to remove the offending imagery from its server. Such censorship was in play due to the depiction of naked adolescents within many of Henson’s prints.
The Party Boy and the Porn
Jan 17th
In the news 4 days ago: Large party in Melbourne’s south-east. 500 teenagers. Police cars damaged. Bottles thrown at officers. Neighbours scared. Police helicopters and dog squad called in. $20,000 cost to the public.
In the news today: Police caught up with Corey yesterday, charging him with producing child pornography and creating a public nuisance. Read more…
Apparently, a video made at the party featuring sex acts between a female minor and a male minor was found in his room. Corey was arrested today, but has since been bailed out. He is due in court Feb. 22 to face these charges. /rimmer
