The interview with renowned Sydney PR Roxy Jacenko will screen on Sunday next week on '60 Minutes' Australia. A preview clip - where reporter Allison Langdon interviews Roxy on her life and what's been happening of late (with Roxy's husband Oliver Curtis serving time in prison, and Roxy's recent cancer diagnosis) - screened at the end of tonight's program. The clip is below. Roxy is no stranger to the Nine Network - she appeared on the network's 'Celebrity Apprentice' Australia several years ago, and made her mark at the time by stirring controversy with her forthright approach to business. Read more about Roxy's new battle HERE. And here is the trailer for the upcoming 60 Minutes interview:
If you're free this weekend - and yes, if you are pregnant, or already a new mummy - THIS is the event to attend: One Fine Baby. Choc full of fab ideas you may never have thought of for bub (I was invited by my fellow mum friend, who is also my ex journo mate and a seriously good blogger and Instagrammer, Hipster Mum), I was blown away by the set up and ambience and stallholders available for the public to come enjoy. Josie's Juice (also representing our sister blog TwinnieWorld) has been a little out of the baby convo (my twins are eight) so I was pleasantly surprised at the options out there for mammas. Milestone cards? Who knew! Might I add, if you are a 'veteran' mum like I am, it's still worth coming along to: the ideas for gift giving for fellow mum friends are plentiful, not to mention every single stall holder is handpicked to fit the beautiful aesthetic of the event. And the Friday night, opening night panel line up: whoa! If you have a chance to do this next year, come experience it. Melbourne is also offering a similar line up of fabulous women. Some amazing ladies chatted about their experiences of being a mother, and got real honest about all the hard stuff, and all the good stuff. MCed by the truly fabulous and friendly and affable Jules Sebastian (such a perfect choice to head up a panel of exceptional women, who happen to be mothers), she lead the convo on such heavy hitters as: Emma Isaacs, Kyly Clarke, Kate Ritchie, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Jen Bishop, and more. In Melbourne, it'll be Nadia Bartel, Bec Douros, and more.
The event is on today and Sunday, at the Australian Technology Park, 2 Locomotive Street, Eveleigh. HERE is the link to the show. Sydney ladies (and gents! And kids!), enjoy. Melbourne it'll be your turn on September 9, 10, and 11. Tickets, go here. Follow them on Facebook here.
Have you watched the cult hit 'Stranger Things'? It's the surprise hit from Netflix. And the break out hero... Barb. Here is Barb, then let's learn more about the series. If you don't have Netflix, get it, stat.
Barb has been so huge all over social media. Barb - played by 19 year old Shannon Purser in her first onscreen role - appears less in the show than every other person on that list. But her performance and character = instant cult status.
In the past two weeks, the internet has gone mad for Barb, and the hashtag#WeAreAllBarb, has gone mad too. Check it out.
And here is the trailer:
Says the press blurb: Sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction...
Set in Hawkins Indiana in the 1980’s, Stranger Things chronicles the search for a young boy who vanishes into thin air under highly suspicious circumstances. His mother (Winona Ryder) opens an investigation into the boy's disappearance with local authorities that unravels a series of mysteries involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. A love letter to the ubiquitous cult classics of the 80’s, Stranger Things is a coming of age story for three boys that draws this quaint community into a world where mysteries lurk beneath the surface.
'Stranger Things' stars Winona Ryder, Matthew Modine, David Harbour, Charlie Heaton, Natalia Dyer, and Millie Brown, Stranger Things is executive produced by The Duffer Brothers (Wayward Pines), Shawn Levy (Night at The Museum), and Dan Cohen (Story of Your Life).
'Stranger Things' made its global debut on Netflix on July 15, 2016. For more information, see netflix.com/strangerthings, and the official social pages:
Um... errr. I just saw Orlando Bloom's penis. I really didn't mean to, honest. Okay, well... I DID read the headline. I did see the censored version. I did indeed click on the photo that said "click here for uncensored version". But yeah... now I feel bad. But... a tad naughty. See the uncensored version below, from mirror.co.uk: Click on THIS ARTICLE to see the uncensored version. You have been warned... More PDA (that's 'public displays of affection') photos here. Yes, that's his new girlfriend Katy Perry:
These photos are from this E! Online article HERE.
Okay, so they are on holidays. And, there's the whole privacy thing. But: why would a celeb go naked paddle boarding, like, ever? Was it a secluded island? Is anything ever secluded... especially when you're a celeb. In any case, congratulations Orlando. And Katy...
Have you seen the new 'Instagram Stories' on your Instagram feed? Here is what it's all about (from the Instagram blog page), but first a video explaining it:
Oh, and the instructions in laypersons's terms, from this article:
Making your stories is a lot like Snapchat
Stories are temporary videos or photos that are strung together to form a gallery that, well, tells a story.
Here's how to create one:
Tap on the plus button found on the top left-hand side of your homescreen or swipe left in your Feed. You can also quickly launch Stories by swiping right from the main screen.
Tap the circle button at the bottom of the screen to take photos or tap and hold to record a video. Y
Edit the photos or videos with text or add a drawing as you normally would. If you hit the pen icon, there are three types of pens. The third one makes your sketch look like a neon sign.
Tap Done to save your story.
Tap the checkmark button to share to your story.
(And from the Insty blog page):
Today, we’re introducing Instagram Stories, a new feature that lets you share all the moments of your day, not just the ones you want to keep on your profile. As you share multiple photos and videos, they appear together in a slideshow format: your story.
With Instagram Stories, you don’t have to worry about overposting. Instead, you can share as much as you want throughout the day — with as much creativity as you want. You can bring your story to life in new ways with text and drawing tools. The photos and videos will disappear after 24 hours and won’t appear on your profile grid or in feed.
You’ll see stories from people you follow in a bar at the top of your feed — from your best friends to your favorite popular accounts. When there’s something new to see, their profile photo will have a colorful ring around it.
To view someone’s story, just tap on their profile photo. It’s easy to view stories at your own pace: tap to go back and forward or swipe to jump to another person’s story. If you want to comment on something you see, you can tap and send a private message to that person on Instagram Direct. Unlike regular posts, there are no likes or public comments.
Your story follows the privacy settings of your account. If you set your account to private, your story is visible only to your followers. However, you can also easily hide your entire story from anyone you don’t want to see it, even if they follow you. When watching your own story, swipe up to check out who’s seen each photo and video. You can even choose to feature a particular part of your story by posting it on your profile.
Instagram has always been a place to share the moments you want to remember. Now you can share your highlights and everything in between, too.
Instagram Stories will be rolling out globally over the next few weeks on iOS and Android. To learn more, check out the Help Center.
