Pop Icon Olivia Newton-John Was The Rare Performer Whose Career Flourished Through Different Phases

Olivia Newton-John was a versatile artist with an appeal that spanned generations, and who played an important role in claiming a space for Australian popular culture on the world stage. She was the rare performer whose career flourished through different phases, and who found success exploring many facets of her talent. Born in Cambridge in 1948, Newton-John moved to Melbourne at age 6 (becoming one of a myriad of non-Australian celebrities wholeheartedly claimed by this country). In her teens she started to build up her profile on the local performing circuits, also appearing on pop music television program The Go!! Show. In the 1960s, Australian musical acts saw moving to the UK as a vital part of their career progression. Newton-John became part of the steady stream of expats pursu...

The Story Behind ‘Star Trek’ Actress Nichelle Nichols’ And The Iconic Interracial Kiss

On a 1968 episode of “Star Trek,” Nichelle Nichols, playing Lt. Uhura, locked lips with William Shatner’s Capt. Kirk in what’s widely thought to be first kiss between a Black woman and white man on American television. The episode’s plot is bizarre: Aliens who worship the Greek philosopher Plato use telekinetic powers to force the Enterprise crew to sing, dance and kiss. At one point, the aliens compel Lt. Uhura and Capt. Kirk to embrace. Each character tries to resist, but eventually Kirk tilts Uhura back and the two kiss as the aliens lasciviously look on. The smooch is not a romantic one. But in 1968 to show a Black woman kissing a white man was a daring move. The episode aired just one year after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Loving v. Virginia decision struck down state laws against inte...

The Gorgeous Khaneshia ‘KJ’ Smith Is Definitely Someone You Should Keep An Eye On

Born in Tallahassee, Florida, KJ studied Business Marketing at Florida State University. But instead of going into the business world, KJ knew that she was meant for the big screen. KJ later moved to Los Angeles and began her acting career, mostly appearing on comedy shows. Some of her more notable credits include one-off appearances on Conan (2012), All My Children (2011), The Therapist (2013), and The Real Husbands of Hollywood (2013). Her most skinsational role of all came in the 2014 premiere of the Starz! series Survivor's Remorse. Khaneshia appeared as "Kiara" and bared her apple-sized, squeezable beauties while sitting topless on the bed chatting with Mike Epps. Now that's one hell of a nude debut! Let's hope this is just the beginning of a glorious trend for this buxom babe. Want...

Have You Heard The News? Amber’s An All-Timer!

Have you Heard the Word is Amber? It wasn’t just football players taking hits in the hit flick Friday Night Lights (2004). Amber Heard scored an extra point in our pants with the bonus DVD footage. This PG-13 movie ranks an R rating as one lucky player scores some deep penetration into Amber’s end zone. The topless teen gives her lucky stud a workout that ends up breaking a lamp in the process. Amber followed her film debut with two minor indies, although the horror flick sideFX (2005) sports a titillating plot about an ancient aphrodisiac with fatal consequences. Then her Friday Night sights gave Hollywood the Amber alert, and she moved up to A-list projects such as the star-studded Alpha Dog (2006), in which she enjoyed a chest-flashing midnight skinny dip alongside Amanda Seyfried.

Few Can Hold On To Their Sex Appeal But Leonardo DiCaprio Doesn’t Play By The Rules

In the world of teen heartthrobs, few can hold on to their sex appeal into the their 20s, much less their 30s and 40s. But Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t play by the rules, going from a cute teenage boy toy to a white-hot man and taking no prisoners along the way. He has appeared in everything from art films to big-budget Hollywood blockbusters, always bringing his inimitable brand of sexy to all his parts (and all of ours). Born and raised in Los Angeles, Leo started his acting career as a kid, appearing in TV commercials and getting his big break as a homeless youth on the sitcom Growing Pains. By 1993, he had reached full maturity as a man and an actor, receiving high praise for his performance in the biopic This Boy’s Life. He made an outstanding nude debut, portraying French poet Arthur R...

The Most Popular Late-Night TV Host – How Conservative Comic Greg Gutfeld Overtook Stephen Colbert In Ratings

In August 2021, Fox News’ “Gutfeld!,” a late-night comedy-talk show hosted by right-wing pundit Greg Gutfeld, overtook “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in overall ratings. Surprised? We weren’t. As media and comedy scholars, we’ve been tracking the recent ascension of right-wing comedy, which has flourished thanks to shifts in media industry economics and political ideologies. Gutfeld’s success might come as a shock because it punctures long-standing assumptions about what comedy is, who can produce it and who will enjoy it. These prejudices obscure an important truth: Right-wing comedy has become both a viable business strategy and a crucial element of conservative politics. Yes, “Gutfeld!” is on Fox News, the cable channel known for partisan, right-wing political perspectives an...

“Radio” One Of The Most Under-Rated And Under-Appreciated Films In Movie History

Radio - 4 Stars (Excellent) "Radio"-the true story of high school football coach Harold Jones and a mentally-challenged young man named James Robert "Radio" Kennedy-might well be one of the most under-rated and under-appreciated movies in film history. James Kennedy was nicknamed "Radio" by the townspeople of Anderson, South Carolina because he was always listening to discarded radios. As a youth he would push or ride a grocery cart down the street, talking to no one. It was 1976 and Radio did not attend school because he was mentally challenged, and an easy target for kids more fortunate. After some football players on coach Harold Jones' T. L. Hanna High School team harass, intimidate and scare the living daylights out of Radio (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.), Jones befriends and protect...

Podcast Host, Michelle Obama: How Podcasting Became A Multi-Billion Dollar Industry

“You kind of fail your way to success,” observed Matt Lieber, head of podcast operations at Spotify, at this year’s Audiocraft festival, an annual weekend of panels about podcasting. Normally held in Sydney, this year, thanks to COVID-19, the festival shifted online. Lieber was talking about StartUp, his podcast about establishing Gimlet Media in 2014. Lieber and his business partner, Alex Blumberg, wanted to develop a podcast studio that would become “the HBO of audio”. Last year, Gimlet hit the jackpot. It was acquired by Spotify for US$230 million (A$322 million). While podcasts have been alive on the internet since 2004 (“But what to call it? Audioblogging? Podcasting? GuerillaMedia?” asked the Guardian), 2014’s Serial is largely credited with starting a new boom for the form. Seria...

Regina King Has A Habit Of Keeping Her Eye On The Prize

Regina King A Los Angeles, California, native and an utter sensual delight, has a habit of keeping her eye on the prize. This driven star has refused to look back since achieving her first onscreen success as Brenda Jenkins on the 1985 television series 227. After giving emotionally wrenching and erotically charged performances as Sahlika in Boyz N the Hood (1991) and Iesha in Poetic Justice (1993), Regina became a face and figure of note in big-budget extravaganzas ranging from A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996) to Mighty Joe Young (1998) and Daddy Day Care (2003). Love and Action in Chicago (1999) gives us some idea of how not to maneuver Regina into bed. Playing couch polo with a shirtless man, King allowed her blouse to be unbuttoned, but the dude, perhaps overeager at the sigh...
