This is a article written by Colleen that was in todays Daily Telegraph (Australia). Here is some of what she had to say: ”Lisa And Jessica Origliasso, these days also known as “The Veronicas”, were born seven weeks early on Christmas Day, 1984. It was the only time Lisa & Jess have been on time or early for anything.”

“THEY may be our most diminutive pop stars, but the Veronicas continue to grow in financial stature.
In figures released yesterday by the the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia, the Queensland twins were revealed as the most played Australian act of the past year.
Along with the sales of albums and downloads, royalties remain a crucial source of income for Australian songwriters.
The PPCA is responsible for ensuring recording artists are fairly remunerated for the use of their works in the broadcast environment.”

I don’t really like posting stories like this, and I really don’t like posting stories from this particular newspaper but I just found it hard not to comment on what has been said.
Considering that this same newspaper has connected Jess with everyone from Zane Carney to Andy from Short Stack this year – I find it difficult to give this story any creditability what so ever.
This may be pure coincidence, but Jess tweeted this quote from Jerry Seinfeld earlier today “People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to”. That would also suggest to me that this story isn’t entirely true. Anyway, read for yourself.

AFTER almost three years together, the rock’n'roll relationship between Veronicas twin Jess Origliasso and her muso boyfriend Azaria Byrne, of Sydney band The Art, is over.
Friends of the couple say the Queensland pair parted ways earlier this month following a mutual decision.
“They have a great bond and are still really close, but they’re not together anymore,” a source close to Byrne told Confidential.
Jess, who recently bought an apartment in Brisbane and is currently working on a third album with sister Lisa, suggested on her Twitter page yesterday she was far from over Byrne.
“Just wrote another f…ing song about you. Dammit!” she posted. “I’m sick of feeling the addiction running through my veins.” The starlet was seen backstage at Marilyn Manson’s Brisbane gig on Saturday watching Byrne’s support performance with his band.
Neither party was willing to comment when contacted.
The break-up has shocked Byrne’s friends, who said the pair never seemed to get out of the “honeymoon” phase of their relationship.
Byrne and Jess toured America together earlier this year, with the androgynous-looking lead singer’s band supporting The Veronicas at a series of stateside concerts.
Byrne also stuck by his bird’s side when explicit photos of her were leaked to a pornographic website last year.
Sister Lisa, meanwhile, is overseas with her boyfriend of almost a year, US actor/singer Reeve Carney.

By now most of you would of heard that the newspapers/radio/internet/tv are all running stories about Jess’ so called ‘porn photos’ being posted on a porn site yesterday. I have added a newspaper story to the gallery just so you get the idea of what is being reported. You will also notice that we have deleted the so called ‘porn photos’ from the story because we feel that it is wrong for the photos of Jess to continue to be circulated.
This story is being blown way out of proportion and I really think this is a time when us fans really need to show our support to Jess.
We will always love you Jess.
