One for the Aussies!

Quite possibly one of the BEST things I have ever seen on Good News Week.

Alas, I never actually saw this on TV as I missed last week’s episode! But a friend was kind enough to fill me in.

Watch, laugh, and sing along!

We’re happy little vegemites…

Okay, let’s talk Nim’s Island. Holy freaking CUTENESS, Batman!! I totally forgot that I saw the trailer for this when I went and saw 27 Dresses a few weeks back, and I fell in love with it.

#1, it’s got Gerry Butler in it. HELLO. And Gerry being goofy and awesome and…

#2, it’s got Jodie Foster being awesome.

#3, it looks just plain FUN. I will SO be seeing this when it comes out (April 3 - WOOHOO!! That weekend is shaping up to be bloody kick-arse! Seriously, BSG S4, Nim’s Island AND Dr Who? ).

Anyway, have some trailers! First, the trailer I saw in the cinema. Then there’s the official trailer from the Apple site.

I heard this on the radio this morning and laughed myself silly. (Note: It was actually MUCH funnier listening to the audio by itself because it sounds SO MUCH LIKE HIM. Heeeeee.)

Buble love!

So how did I spend my night? Oh, just trawling YouTube for clips of Michael in concert. There are definintely worse ways to spend a night.

“I hate jazz. I think jazz is just… well, crap. Jazz is a blues band that fell down the stairs. *laughter* No, I want to retire. I want to do my own thing. I want to be a pop-star.” And so he does!

George Michael Medley!!

and him sitting down at the end leads right into…

Billie Jean!! Yes, the famous (infamous? LOL) ‘Michael does Michael (Jackson)’

Michael being “manly” by singing both Michael Jackson AND Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire)!! He actually does a very good Johnny!

This version of Billie Jean is much closer to what we saw in concert (though we never got the Johnny stuff, alas!). There’s also one here that’s complete with Moonwalk!

And lastly, him opening the Caught in the Act concert with Feelin’ Good. Hell. Yeah.

(this was capped from the DVD by the looks of it)

Total. And UTTER. Goofball. *loves him*

God, I wish they’d release Australian tour dates already!!!

Random news snippets

A380 sex seekers brought back to earth. Dude. They’re putting wine/champagne on a double-bed that’s strewn with ROSE PETALS. Exactly what atmosphere are they going for here? LOL

Yay Daniel Craig! He’s apparently scored a contract for four more movies as Bond. SWEET.

Heroes spinoff series Origins has been pulled. Nooooooooooooooo!

Police called to horror prank. What is wrong with people? Do they think that crap is funny? Wankers.

And in more ‘What the HELL is wrong with the world?!?’, Elderly man dies ‘in fight over garden hosing’ [2]. That is seriously freakin’ messed up.

Woman’s ’small penis’ slur from ad leads to road rage. And the guy looks even MORE like an asshat for his response! BTW, the ad [found here] is great. Well done RTA. *snort*

Doberman saves girl and kelpie saves woman from snakes. That is unbelievably AWESOME. Dogs are my favourite kind of people. The story about the Doberman, in particular, is amazing considering the background.

One last link I’ve been meaning to post. Excellent opinion piece written by Justin Monjo (ex-Farscape writer) about the upcoming election in Australia. Great work, Monj.
