INXS Prevent Pharrell From Scoring Number One Chart Spot

pharrell_williams

Not even the all-conquering Pharrell Williams could knock Aussie rock veterans INXS from the top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart this week, as that band's The Very Best collection just pips out Williams' G I R L, hotly tipped to be one of the biggest pop albums of 2014.

Williams has managed to hold onto the top spot on the singles charts though, with his smash hit Happy enjoying its ninth week in the number one position. It is unlikely he will be moved from there next week as well, given he kicks off his Australian tour as part of the Future Music Festival this weekend. Sales have slowed for INXS singles, the classic Never Tear Us Apart plunging 20 positions to number 35 this week, Need You Tonight dropping from number 36 to number 69 and six of their songs have dropped out of the top 100 completely. But INXS' Live Baby Live remains the number one music DVD.

AFL umpires to operate in teams through new trial in early rounds of AFL season

AFL umpires will operate in specialist teams through the first three rounds of the season in a bid to accelerate the development and improve the consistency of umpiring.

The trial will see teams of three comprised of one senior umpire, one of intermediate experience and one junior umpire — sharing the first three rounds of the season.

AFL field umpires coach Hayden Kennedy said the trial — inspired by a similar model used in the NFL — was introduced to achieve greater consistency in decision making.

“We really want to develop our younger guys, so by doing it this way it gives us the opportunity to put some of the younger, developing umpires with some of the older ones and put them out into some of the bigger games so there is some real mentoring going on,” Kennedy told AFL.com.au.

“Older umpires can really lead the younger ones and [they can] work as a real team to get better performance in the next week or the week after.”

The 2014 season signifies the start of a new era for umpiring with former Richmond player Wayne Campbell taking over the top job from Jeff Gieschen, who held the position for 14 years.

F1 Hits Melbourne this weekend

When the "gentlemen" start their engines this weekend at the Albert Park race circuit, regular protesters of the Melbourne Grand Prix will have a reason, even if slight, to rejoice. For the first time in 25 years, turbocharged 1.6-litre V6 engines have replaced the V10s and V8s that have provided the signature scream of formula one engines since the GP arrived in Melbourne in 1996.

Instead the high-tech engines, while still incredibly, unbelievably loud, will emit a lower-frequency growl, less of an assault on the ears than previous years.

One of the richest sporting events in Australia, the Formula One Grand Prix officially kicks off on Friday with two practise sessions, qualifying laps on Saturday and the big race on Sunday, the world's fastest drivers battling it out over of 58 laps, each of which features 16 turns.

As the first round of the season, the Melbourne Grand Prix holds a special place on the formula one calendar, as the new championship battle begins at Albert Park among some of the worlds richest sporting teams.

An Australian Grand Prix spokeswoman said ticket sales were extremely strong for the 2014 event and attendance at the 2013 Australian Grand Prix weekend was 323,000 making it one of the most attended of the year across the world's circuits.

Sunday's twilight start time of 5pm is coordinated to ensure the race can be televised into Europe from about 7am Sunday morning.

First used in 1996, the 5.3 km Albert Park street circuit was created specifically to usurp the Adelaide Grand Prix.

The legendary Michael Schumacher - who is currently on life support as a result of a head injury sustained in a skiing accident - holds the Melbourne Grand Prix lap record, with a time of one minute, 24.125 seconds, which was set in 2004.

Pit bosses will need to have wet weather, fully treaded tyres at the ready with rain forecast for both Saturday and Sunday.

Qualifying for the big race was delayed until the Sunday at Albert Park in 2013 for the first time, with rain washing out most of the qualifying sessions the previous day.

Australian F1 fans may lament the absence of driver Mark Webber - who retired at the endo f the 2013 season - but can look forward to his replacement at Red Bull, fellow Australian, Perth driver Daniel Ricciardo, who will take over in the Red Bull No.2.

A podium finish is unlikely for the young driver, however, with Red Bull plagued through the off-season with ongoing engine troubles.

And fans will be curious to see whether the relationship between Ricciardo and teammate, Sebastian Vettel, will replicate the intense rivalry that Webber and Vettel shared on and off the track.

Set against the high-octane thrills and spills of the massive motor sporting event is the undercurrent of uncertainty hanging over the future of the race in Melbourne, with Grand Prix big-wig Bernie Ecclestone facing bribery charges in Germany (to the tune of $44 million) and negotiations - headed by chairman of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, 74-year-old Ron Walker - hanging on a knife's edge.

The F1 is contracted to Melbourne until 2015 and Victorian taxpayers have paid a high price to stage the event.

Current negotiations between Ecclestone and the Australian Grand Prix Corporation have been ongoing for some time.

At the Grand Prix launch this week, Mr Walker tried to distance himself from the Ecclestone scandal and admitted the negotiations were at a delicate juncture.

"They're his issues not ours, we're negotiating directly with his team and we'll get a successful outcome but we're not rushing anything, we're not blinking," he said.

Premier Denis Napthine told the ABC this week, that he has faith in Mr Walker's "tough" negotiation skills.

"Those negotiations have been going on some time and the fact they've been going on for some time indicates that we're playing a very tough game," he said.

British couple who enjoyed an epic two-year honeymoon riding 20,000 miles around the world on a tandem bike are finally home

wedding_2011

Most newlyweds whisk themselves away to a beach, or retreat to a luxurious hotel room. But Kat and Steve Turner took a slightly different approach. After tying the knot in April 2012 in New Zealand they embarked on a two-year honeymoon, riding 20,000 miles around the globe on a tandem.

Yesterday, the intrepid couple finally set foot on British soil after travelling 674 days through rainforests, deserts, floods and even earthquakes.

Their journey took them through New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Greece, Italy and France. Oh…forgot to mention Mrs Turner had never ridden a bike before.

honeymoons_over

Their mammoth 30,500km route, raising money for development charity Practical Action, saw them climbing a total elevation of 249,365m - the equivalent of Everest 28 times.

Mr Turner, 34, suffered a terrible episode of heat exhaustion in Cambodia and Kat fractured her knee-cap after they hit a railway track in the Australian Outback.

They were in the eastern Chinese town of Dingxi when an earthquake hit, killing 95 people in July last year, and were regularly challenged by officials in the strict country.

Speaking during the trip, Steve said Kyrgyzstan was the highlight. The teacher said: 'It was a great experience because we didn't know what to expect as we'd never heard of it before and couldn't even spell it.

The mountains were stunning, the nomadic people on horseback were friendly, it was interesting to see yurts being packed up for the winter and we spent peaceful nights camping under the stars. 'The sight of us two on our huge tandem and trailer makes people laugh. People are excited to talk to us about our trip. 'We've been completely taken aback by the many acts of kindness we have received, from being handed a chocolate bar or cold drink out of the window of a passing vehicle, to being warmly welcomed into the homes of strangers and fed wonderful meal.

The Rolling Stones are planning to reschedule these shows at a later date. Frontier Touring advise ticket holders to hold on to their tickets until further notice.

Mick Jagger posted a heartfelt statement on his Facebook page this morning, expressing his confusion and pain.

“I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way”, he wrote.

“We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me. I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received. I will never forget her.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar blasted Vogue for featuring Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on its April cover.

The actress voiced her disapproval of the controversial move, tweeting, "Well...I guess I'm canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???"

Apparently a lot of people. Fashion blogger Bryanboy wrote: "Twenty four years of loyalty to American Vogue and then this." Entertainment journalist Nikki Finke also tweeted, "I'm loving the big backlash aimed at [Vogue editor] Anna Wintour for putting Kim Kardashian on Vogue cover. Issue should come with barf bag."

Wintour defended the cover, saying, it "is both charming and touching." She added that "it was...entirely our idea to do it; you may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancée on Vogue’s cover. He did nothing of the sort."


Kevin Bacon cuts loose on 30th Anniversary of Footloose

footloose

Thirty years ago, the title song from "Footloose" urged everyone to "kick off your Sunday shoes" and start dancin'. On last Friday night's "Tonight Show," that film's star, Kevin Bacon, proved the message is just as powerful today as then.

Host Jimmy Fallon started the whole thing. "I should quickly mention that dancing has been outlawed here at 'The Tonight Show,'" he told his audience, echoing one of the film's key plot points. "It's a bummer, but rules are rules."

But Bacon, who now stars in Fox's "The Following," wasn't having any of that. "This is 'The Tonight Show,'" he said, sitting in his dressing room. "There has to be dancing." He pulled out a cassette tape of one of the film's other tunes, "Never," took a puff from a cigarette, drank a swig of beer and hurled the bottle at the wall.

Then, echoing a big dance scene from the film, he tripped down the 30 Rock hallways, pulled some gymnastic moves (perhaps a stunt double was involved) and changed out of his gray sweats into a maroon tux. As the "Footloose" theme kicked off, Bacon shouted to a crowd of admirers, "Let's dance!"

Then the party really got started, as the group grooved all the way onto the "Tonight" set, finishing up in a rain of confetti. The video of the routine already has over 7 million hits on YouTube.

Naturally, Fallon tweeted out a link to the video and at least one celebrity agreed: Justin Timberlake, who retweeted the link and called it the "BEST THING EVER."

Air and Sea search suspended

mh370

THE Australian Maritime Safety Authority has suspended the air and sea search for MH370 today due to bad weather.

AMSA released an update this morning, “Due to rough seas, HMAS Success departed the search area early this morning and is now in transit south of the search area until seas abate. A sea state ranging between 7 to 8 is forecast today with waves up to two metres and an associated swell of up to four metres.”

“The area is also forecast to experience strong gale force winds of up to 80kmh, periods of heavy rain, and low cloud with a ceiling between 200 and 500 feet.”

AMSA said conducting the search in such conditions would be hazardous and pose a risk to crews.

Thanks to AFP, an infographic on the passengers and crew aboard MH370. Conspiracy theories have been rife for the past week regarding the employees of Freescale Semiconductor, who make stealth equipment for aircraft. These are purely conspiracy theories, and nothing more should be read into them until the exact cause of MH370's disappearance has been found.

If this morning's news is correct, which I'd suggest it is, RIP to those onboard, and condolences to those involved.   - Breakfast with Greg & Ilaria

gwyneth paltrow chris martin split

The two made the announcement on the actress' website, Goop with a post titled, "Conscious Uncoupling."

Their statement read, "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate."

The famous duo added, "We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner."

The two have been married for over ten years and have two children together, Apple Martin and Moses Martin.

Monster rat terrorises family

monster_rat

A Swedish family suffered the shock of a lifetime when they discovered that the 'kitchen mouse' that had their cat running around in circles was in fact a gigantic monster rat.  The Bengtsson-Korsås family first noticed something was wrong when their cat Enok refused to enter the kitchen in their flat in Solna, north-west Stockholm.

The rat measured 38 cms (15 inches), without its tail, and had made it into the family’s flat by gnawing a tunnel between a wooden panel and concrete. 

Exterminators were called in and placed industry-sized traps to catch the rat, and less than a day later one of them snapped.

However, when the family checked, the trap was gone. The rat was so powerful that it had carried the trap with it, snapped around its neck.

‘It didn’t die when it went into the trap, but scurried away. It went underneath a wooden plant, where it got stuck and choked itself to death,’ Mr Bengtsson-Korsås said.

‘It was the biggest rat I have ever seen, and it looked like it was in good shape as the fur was nice,’ he added.

SNICKERS TEAMS UP WITH AUSSIE BUILDERS FOR NEW AD

The tongue-in-cheek commercial asks viewers: “What happens when Aussie builders aren’t themselves?” and ends with “you’re not you when you’re hungry”.

The commercial is receiving a mixed response on social media, with plenty labelling it “sexist”, while others are calling it “the best thing they’ve seen in a while”.

Bec @Brocklesnitch

so the point of that snickers ad is that they aren’t themselves i.e nice, & they should have a snickers to become themselves i.e disgusting?

Not sure the new @SNICKERS ad is as subversive or clever as it initially appears to be. What's the message - all tradies are misogynists?

Whether it will sell chocolate bars or not, who knows? We just love the priceless line from one bold worker to a flattered female: “I appreciate your appearance is just one aspect of who you are.”

The classic ad may even be better than this pearler, which is still making its way to our screens after four years.

Courtney Love Now Wants a Nirvana Musical

Courtney Love says she now wants a Nivana musical to happen. There was talk in 2012 about a musical about the band, and Kurt Cobain and Love's life together, but the Hole singer ended up shooting that down rather quickly.

Apparently she's had a change of heart, because in a new interview for NME to mark 20 years since Cobain's death, Love says, "After being swarmed by tons of Nirvana fanmail and social media posts pushing for a musical to become a reality, both Frances [Bean Cobain] and I have thought long and hard, and agreed that if we can reach up to the highest shelf and select a team of the greatest and most respected writers, producers and directors, then a Broadway musical is very likely to happen."

kurt-600-1396382422

Love adds, "There would have to be a story, and a great story, one that hasn't been told before. I would devote countless hours with an A-team to create a project that reflects Kurt in the most respectful but honest way possible, so that his story, his music and his legacy can be resurrected on stage for not only the world to see, but more importantly for our daughter to see. I know her father's spirit will be on that stage, and sitting in that theater with her will be the most emotional experience of our lives."

Don't hold your breath for this one, though. The last we heard about Courtney's relationship with Frances Bean came in November, when Courtney sued her old lawyer for driving a wedge between them. And since Frances, not Courtney, controls the publicity rights to Kurt's name and image, the two would have to make nice before this idea could move forward.

Crocodile Dundee pub sold

THE pub made famous as the watering hole of Mick "Crocodile'' Dundee has been sold.

The Walkabout Creek Hotel at McKinlay, made famous in the movie Crocodile Dundee , has been bought by Frank and Debbie Wust who fell in love with the pub en route to the Boulia camel races.

"We were visiting a friend in Boulia, who previously owned an outback hotel himself, and on the way home we stopped at the Walkabout Creek Hotel and the rest is history,'' said Mr Wust, a miner at the Callide Mine, south-west of Gladstone.  "Most people buy Harleys when they have a midlife crisis, but we thought we'd buy an outback pub.''

No price for the sale has been disclosed however marketing agents Raine and Horne said it was a "significant six-figure sum''.

The seller, publican Paul Collins, had owned the hotel for 28 years.  The pub was built in 1900 as the Federal Hotel. It was shifted from its original location about 20 years ago after the redirection of the Matilda Highway.

"The pub was renovated at the time, however the character depicted in the Crocodile Dundee movie was maintained,'' said sales agent, Nathan Henderson, Raine and Horne Ingham and Beaches.

Palmerston tops NT bogan hunt

nt_bogan1

Tasmania is the bogan capital of Australia and if you're seeking bogans in the ACT look no further than the nation's parliament.

These are just some of the findings to come out of a “bogan odyssey” completed by self-proclaimed boganologist Paul Fenech.

With the other two members of his crack team, Shazza (Elle Dawe) and Kev the Kiwi (Kevin Taumata), who will be familiar from the controversial SBS series Housos, Fenech has visited every state and Territory for a new 7Mate series called Bogan Hunters.

“There are plenty of places in each state,” he says. “Start in the centre of a city and drive for about 35 minutes minimum into the suburbs and you will find a bogan area.

In the course of his fieldwork, Fenech, who starred as Franky Falzoni in Housos, has become an expert in recognising his quarry.

“The haircut is most likely a mullet or a shaved mullet,” he says. “Home-done tattoos are very important and a missing tooth is a likely indicator. Look for flannelette, ugg boots and thongs and if there is an alcoholic beverage to complete the whole ensemble then you've got yourself a bogan.”

Of particular interest to the bogan hunters are the mating rituals, described by Fenech as “a quick process”.  He also uncovered some touching tales in the course of his travels.  “We met one girl in Adelaide who, despite the fact she stabbed her partner with her mulling scissors, they are still a couple,” he says. “That's bogan love right there.”

And while there are no plans at present to show Bogan Hunters overseas, Fenech is unapologetic about the image of Australia presented by the “reality show”.

“If some people look at it and go, 'Jesus, is this what Australia's like?  Oh, my god.' Well, don't shoot the messenger. This is the bogan world. Like it or love it. It exists.

“If I was thinking about a holiday in Australia and I saw this, I'd probably be scared. If I was in Canada I think I'd maybe go to Hawaii instead.”

A spokeswoman for Seven said a final date has yet to be set for the show, but confirmed it would go to air in May.

Bogan habitat around the country, according to “Boganologist” Paul Fenech:

Sydney: “A toss-up between Mount Druitt and Campbelltown”

Brisbane: Logan

Melbourne: Frankston

Adelaide: Elizabeth

Western Australia: Rockingham

Darwin: Palmerston

ACT: “Let's face it, parliament has got the best bogans in the country”.

Should childless Aussies fork out extra for families

$
0

giggling_gertie

The idea stems from a ludicrous opinion from American journalist Reihan Salam, who believes childless citizens should pay more taxes, while those with kids should pay less.  Salam reckons that in order to give working families a fair go, those without children who earn over the average wage bracket (AU$57,400) should cough up the extra cash.  Those with a family, he says, should pay approximately $5000 less.

“By shifting the tax burden from parents to non-parent, we will help give America’s children a better start in life, and we will help correct a simple injustice,” he writes.

“We all benefit from the work of parents. Each new generation reinvigorates our society with its youthful vim and vigour.”

According to a study by the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling, the pinch of a tighter economy means it’ll cost you around $400,000 to raise a child until the age of 21.  Middle-income families were hit with the biggest increases, with spending up by 50 per cent from 2007.

It’s a noble gesture and Salam has good intentions. While the days of the Baby Bonus are well and truly over, the Federal Government replaced the one-off payment with a rate increase of the Family Tax Benefit.  This means that as of March 1, 2014, parents receive a $2000 payment for their first child. For any subsequent children the payment is a lesser $1000. Wonder where that’s coming from?  Oh that’s right. Our tax dollars.  Then there’s Paid Parental Leave, where a new parent is allowed a maximum 18-weeks off work at a minimum wage salary of $622.10 per week.  Then there’s the Parenting Payment for single parents or guardians, and the Dad & Partner Pay scheme, which gives dads two weeks of government-funded pay based on minimum wage.  None of which is available in the United States. 

So while it’s all fine and dandy to lump the financial woes of family onto those without, it’s important to note that we’re already doing our bit — and paying a higher marginal tax rate while we’re at it.

That’s not the tax we pay on the extra bits; public schools, parks, health care and childcare subsidies.  What do you think?

Destiny’s Child weren’t such Independent Women in their 1999 hit Bills, Bills, Bills…
