![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Corey Delaney's 15 minutes of fame This guy appears to have become some kind of Media star in Australia. Aussie party boy Corey Delaney finds stardom online A boy who threw a house party that ended in a near-riot of 500 people has acquired celebrity status, striking a magazine deal, fielding lucrative offers to promote under-age events and inspiring supporters worldwide on social networking websites, Paul Larter reports from Brisbane. Days ago Corey Delaney was just another 16-year-old who decided to party while his parents were out, but defiant performances in the media and his stubborn refusal to return home and face the music have transformed him into a poster boy of teenage rebellion. The thin youth with bleached-blond hair has appeared on prime-time national television in oversized plastic yellow sunglasses and a hooded camouflage jacket left open to expose a bare chest and a pierced nipple, nonchalantly declaring that he was planning another party — though at a different venue. In an interview seen by thousands on YouTube, he explains that the party was originally intended as “just a get-together with a couple of mates” and makes a half-hearted apology to his parents’ neighbours. But when asked his advice for other teenagers thinking about hosting a party while their parents were away, he brazenly suggests that he will run it for them. The interviewer advises him to “go away and take a long hard look” at himself. He replies: “I have. Everybody has. They love it.” The youth has been staying with friends and has refused to take calls from his parents since the party in their house in the Melbourne suburbs — which he advertised on MySpace and by text message — spiralled out of control on Saturday night. As wave after wave of revellers arrived, neighbours raised the alarm and 30 police officers, a helicopter and dog squad were needed to subdue the crowd, while police cars were pelted with bottles, bricks were thrown and letterboxes smashed. The police commissioner and premier of Victoria state have addressed the media on the subject and police have threatened to hand Corey a A$20,000 (£9,000) clean-up bill. The community is divided, with the tone of thousands of newspaper blog entries reflected in a heated debate among contributors to Wikipedia about whether his entry should stay. He was kicked out. Corey has since been seen relaxing at a Melbourne beach with girls. His father, Steve, who with Corey’s mother, Jo, rushed back from a holiday 1,600km (995 miles) away to find the family home in a “disgusting” state, described him as a “show pony” who needed punishing and appealed for him to come home. Police caught up with Corey yesterday, charging him with producing child pornography and creating a public nuisance. It is not known what the pornography charge allegedly relates to. His brush with the law is likely only to enhance his standing, with supporters banding together on social networking websites. The commercial potential of such notoriety has already been seized on, with one Sydney promoter saying that he would be prepared to pay the teenager up to A$10,000 to stage parties. Commercial radio stations have been calling and Corey has reportedly done a deal with Zoo Weekly magazine. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER Last edited by Hypersonic; 01-18-2008 at 03:11 AM.. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Corey Delaney's 15 minutes of fame It ain't over yet: Australian party boy held for child pornography An Australian "party animal" whose all night party at his parents' home forced police to intervene, has been arrested and charged with producing child pornography. Police were called out to stop 500 party guests causing mayhem when the party 16-year-old Corey Delaney threw in his parents' Melbourne home got out of hand. Since the incident - in which police had to intervene using a helicopter and dogs - the teenager has become something of a media celebrity in Australia, giving radio and press interviews and being offered thousands of dollars to stage similar parties in Sydney and America. But today police charged the 16 year-old - who is still on the run from his irate parents - with producing child pornography. It is understood the charges arise from images of semi-naked girls taken on his mobile phone during last Saturday's festivities. The Melbourne teenager, whose antics have already spawned websites and fan blogs around the world, was charged with producing child pornography and creating a public nuisance. He has been bailed to appear in the children's court on February 22 - a brief is still being prepared in relation to another teenage boy at the party. Mr Delaney had been basking in the media spotlight, courting large sums to appear on radio and television with his large sunglasses, open shirts and pierced nipples. He is reportedly negotiating a substantial fee to appear on the Big Brother reality show in Australia. Several DJs have approached him to run under-age events in Sydney and Melbourne. Police have threatened to fine the teenager and his parents $20,000 for the cost of the police operation his party triggered. His parents, Steve and Jo Delaney - who were on holiday several hundred miles away in Queensland at the time of the party - have also indicated that they believe he deserves to be punished. A page has been created on social networking website Facebook to raise money for the police fine. Visitors are urged to buy T-shirts featuring Corey's face - replete with infamous yellow sunglasses. An image on the site depicts the teenager's head superimposed on Christ's body, surrounded by adoring disciples and with a headline: "The patron saint of partying." |

"Um, I haven't really talked to them cos every time they call I don't answer. Cos yeah, they'd kill me" "So that's a short term strategy. You're gonna have to talk to them eventually. What are you gonna say?" "Ummmmm... sorry?" "Are you sorry" "Uhhh... yeah, yeah I am" ... "Best party ever so far!" I don't care about that pornography thing, this guy is a champion! |
