Perth Here I Cum!

Thanks to the Dame, I am off to Perth in November for a theatre spectacular! I will be seeing Rent with Nikki Wesbster and Australia's hottest ex-idol Anthony Callea! Hooray!

I will have full picture uploads and lot's of news so stay tuned!

Please enjoy the story about Sydney's biggest wanker Kyle "I'm fat so fat you know I'm fat" Sandilands below.

Sandilands News Flasher

Hughes strikes back with abusive 'apology' to Sandilands

Dave Hughes has hit back at Kyle Sandilands over the shock jock's recent threats of violence — offering to allow himself to be hit so Sandilands could go to jail.
The Melbourne funnyman today issued a 'public apology' after Sandilands threatened to punch Hughes in the throat the next time they met.
What I want to say to Kyle is don't shoot the messenger mate," Hughes said today in his podcast on Nova FM.

"I am sorry. I'm sorry that you're a massive dickhead. It's not my fault though."
Hughes also poked fun at Sandilands for saying he would be prepared to serve hard time for the assault.

"If I let him punch me in the throat, he can be out and off for three months," he said.
"That could be a sacrifice worth making... I've got a fairly thick neck."
Hughes called Sandilands "a massive dickhead" at the 2007 Logie Awards, a clip of which was played during an interview Andrew Denton conducted with the Australian Idol judge that prompted the initial throat-punching threat.

The controversial footage is just one aspect of what promises to be a highly dramatic Enough Rope interview, where the host also probed Sandilands on some of his more outrageous on-air stunts.

Denton — who is renowned for his focused interrogations — referred to an incident several weeks ago where the radio host took a call from a young listener who said he had caught his father in a sexual act with another man.

Sandilands then rang the boy's father and confronted him about the incident live on air.
The shock jock claimed the defence that his program was "an outlet" for his listeners but Denton countered that he was "playing with people's lives" by broadcasting sensitive personal matters.
The interview goes to air on September 3.

Indonesian Bird Flu Week

Well well, with the Indonesian bird flu striking me down for most of the week and I’m not talking about Renae Lawrence being sick in Jail, I am talking about $200 wasted on doctors, pills and tissues. How can one night make one boy so sick! But do you think I wouldn’t do a Monday night bender again in a heartbeat?

Anyway I did make a few BIG achievements this week. I witnessed the magic of a “Midsummer Night’s Dream” @ Sydney Theatre, what a wonderful production, HOT cast, great set (it made Christina Scragulira’s “Dirrrty” clip look like a late 80’s episode of “Romper Room” & great finale (I won’t ruin it for any intending to see).

I also chalked up my tenth viewing of Priscilla and what a day to! Genevieve Lemon has been released by the tiny Jackie Weaver, a good edition but Genevieve really was amazing in that role! Tick was being understood by one of the company and Miss Understanding was known as Miss Understudy, still with all the understudies it was still as fabulous as the first time I saw it. I mean Kirk Page and Indigo are hot trade and now I have seen a little more of the cast than expected it was quiet a great viewing.

BIG news now, HMV midcity is closing down, after years of being the place to buy music in Pitt Street mall, it is going, going about to be gone. They have huge reductions plus an additional 15% every marked price! Their last week (approximately the first week in September) they will extend this to 50% off all marked prices! So some great bargains to be had!

Now with the APEC week only week’s away it’s time to get ready for another well deserved long weekend! I am off to country to attend the first ever Cunt-Hop music festival, yes it’s a combination of country and hip-hop music fused together with break-square dancing, trackie dax & lot’s of bling! I will be doing a full review on country life and let me tell you it ain’t going to be no feel good Today Tonight crap.

Let’s just hope in the country a boy who every now and again enjoys a snog with another male, enjoys choreographed cardio and very rarely jumps at the chance to be on the dancefloor when a Madonna song is on @ a club gets a root!

Chookers!

Sunday 12th August 2007

Howdy ho peoples,

Firstly what seriously wonderful weather are we having in this fine city of Sydney. I must apologize before I continue, I like many other people I am experiencing the flu plus fever bug, now usually the flu is a bad thing but to be honest these fevers I am encountering are like being on super strong painkillers, life is GREAT!

I can’t believe how nice I am being to other human beings and how relaxed I am, I am so relaxed I was nearly run over three times heading off to work today.

Now this week will be a big week so there will be a lot of news about the Rocky Horror launch on Wednesday night & the new STC production of A Midsummer Dream on Friday.

I have been a little forgetful with my footy tipping so here we go for the next big round:

Round 23:

Friday night: The Bulldogs to smash the Broncos
The Eels to get slammed by the mighty sexy Melbourne Storm

Saturday: The Sharks to eat the Tigers up
Those sexy Kiwi’s to smash the Raiders in Johnny boy’s home town!
The cock sucking Cowboys to demolish the outta form Dragons

Sunday: Craig Wing to smash the Titans
The Panthers to shit all over the Knights

Monday @ Telstra Stadium: The Rabbits to keep their finals hopes alive by beating the upper north shore half strength decaf, soy not to hot latte drinking Manly Eagles.

Also on the music front HOMEBAKE goes on sale real soon, August 20th I think! It’s going to be a blinder day with lot’s of tops Aussie music!

A BIG birthday wish goes out to my old skool pal Melody Pascoe, hope the US is treating you well!

^^ Sunday BLOG update proudly supported by Ricki Lee’s new CD “Brand New Day”, you thought her last CD was shit, wait to you hear this one. It’s only $19.88 at Sainty, basically you could spend your money on the CD or half a tank of petrol for the old car for the same amount and they both do the same damage to the environment. ^^

Single of the week – Karnivool – “Only Way” – great cover of Goyte’s hit from the “Like Drawing Blood” smash hit of last year, catch him at Homebak again this year.

Single of the weak – Mika – “Love Today” – Would this fairy stop pretending to be the sixth member of the Scissor Sisters, pink pop is only clever when you don’t look like a bug eyed transvestite.

NAME & SHAMELESS

The BIG First edition of the BLOG simply titled NAME & SHAME.


No it has been an amazing few weeks of shows, theatre, travel, award ceremonies and a few too many beverages late Monday night, early Tuesday morning.

I will start all the back with my wonderful trip to the second most beautiful city in Australia, Melbourne. However it is becoming one of my favourites very quickly!

I had a great flight down on the old Aussie icon Qantas. I arrived in the lovely Melbourne town after a great trip with the sexy boys from Melbourne Storm on my plane! I was very jealous that they just got the chance to be up close and personal with Craig Wing the night before. And that was the beginning of the mighty Roosters return to form. I proceeded to get one of the Melbourne Storm to autograph my fab Pauline Hanson "Untamed & Unashamed"
novel. I think Jeremy Smith who signed the novel was rather excited to sign such an important tale of a simple Aussie slapper who believes Australia should be a white nation, thank god she is one of the only people with this dream or otherwise I would be seeking a lot of sex off shore!

I had a lovely shop around Melbourne town and the headed to Phantom of the Opera opening night with the wonderful Anthony Warlow! The show was beautiful visually and the costumes challenged Priscilla's amazing frocks!

The after party was a bit of a disaster, but they did have a great buffet!

I saw Menopause the Musical (which I feel today writing this very flippin'
hung over, I am experiencing. I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm off to the dunny, I'm off again...) which was amazing! A great laugh! I will do another full review after I see the 1400th performance at Sydney's Theatre Royale, on September 30th, thanks for the invite Sue!

I then had a peek at the Pixar exhibition at Fed Square, a great look into the genius behind Toy Story, The Incredibles and a string of other animated films and short films.

I unfortunately left Melbourne after much delay at the old airport, to head back to my hometown Sunny Sydney, isn't the weather FAB right now!

I got straight back in concert mode Monday night for some Gwen Stefani action! What a flippin' awesome performance!

She started the set off with one of my top 20 singles of 2007 so far "Sweet Escape", I don't know why but I just love this song so much and never seem to tire of it! She then belted out hit after hit after hit! Considering this bird only has two solo albums, she has quite a few crowd pleasers under her belt! The concert overall was simply amazing and definitely one of the best gigs I've ever attending.

Wednesday night I set off to the Editors at the Metro, now I haven't been to this venue for a while and my gosh do I like it! The Editors performed to a very full room of happy punters. They ran through all the motions very well and performed a very entertaining set until the encore. What is it about encores, they are not special anymore another Anthony Callea (see below), Damian Leith & Shannon Noll can do an encore. I would far prefer bands to just string all the hits together for one long set rather than smoking a bucket bong out the back then singing two or worse still one hit single. I wage war on the Encore, just because three girls with zits the size of postage stamps are screaming out the front it doesn't mean you have to come back out.

I then had a few nights of peace and quite before the Sunday matinee show of Anthony Callea. What a weird audience, there were nanas with frames, 5 year olds who obviously had retarded parents as they were wearing a bright pink top, pink shoes and brown slacks & the very loud and proud gay fan base! I have never heard so many screaming queers! There were bug eyed fairies everywhere! Mind you, you had to be bug eyed to see the sexy little fella!
He also did a flippin' encore & camp costume change. The highlight was the old ladies in front of me who clearly though he was the hottest thing since sliced bead, actually so do I so my worst fear is coming true, I'm turning into an old lady. At least grandma (RIP) would be proud! Thanks Emma for saving me a poster and not giving it to the big girl fans who asked me whilst I was working at Priscilla!

Now a Monday night should never be a night for a bender especially when I have been battling the Sydney Winter Flu since July 1999. But the Helpmann awards after party was only one thing WRONG! The hot trade in the room (including Mr Callea & Husband (imagine a carbon copy of him + 20 years! Not a good look!) and free flowing piss!

Now back to the ceremony for some of the musical highlights, Iota did a FAB number from Hedwig & the Angry Inch, The Engineer did a great "American Dream" rendition on the stage of the capitol Theatre, Sydney, the opening number I just wanna Fucking Dance was hot with some of the lovely NIDA team in there! (HI SAMANTHA!) and the Priscilla cast finished off the evening with there medley of hit's that concludes the years biggest box office smash!

The after party at the Sydney Entertainment Centre was great, piss galore, food and trade as mentioned above! The after after party at the Oxford Hotel on Sydney's premier queer strip Oxford Street was WRONG! The patrons who were already there didn't know what hot them when the cast of Priscilla and other randoms such as myself continued to piss it up the wall (not Sonny Bill style! PS Sonny if you need some help paying your newest speeding fine, I'm sure we can work something out!) until the wee hours.

Tune in soon on the BLOG for more updates including reviews of Menopause the Musical and much more.

My five favourite PUMP IT UP tunes it's a Monday night piss up:

1. Gwen Stefani - Now that You’ve Got It
2. Operator Please - Just a song about Ping Pong
3. Patience Hodgson - Lee Remick (Go-Betweens cover)
4. Ben Lee - What Would Jay-Z Do/Sex Without Love
5. Katie Noonan - Time to Begin REMIX
