Our Broadway.tv team in New York caught up with Hugh Jackman while he attended the American Theatre Wing Spring Gala. Jackman is one of Australia’s leading Hollywood stars. Watch the video above to see what Jackman had to say about attending the event.
We ran across this picture and it looks like Ginnifer Goodwin has turned the tables as she does not ‘look all that into’ her date Justin Long. The famed book “He’s Not That Into You” opened in Sydney, Australia recently at the St. George OpenAir cinema. We are excited to see how the book transitioned over to film.
OZtralia.tv’s brother site Broadway.tv had the chance to catch up with Olivia Newton-John in New York. The hot topic of the night was her recent marrage and also her cancer center that will soon be opening in Melbourne.
Also performing at the event were Simon Burke, Amanda Harrision and David Campbell.
We had the chance to catch up with David Campbell while he was in New York this week. While recently in Australia, we heard Campbell all the time on the “Hot Tomato” on the Gold Coast, so it was great to finally meet him in person, even if it was in New York.
Campbell was in New York participating in the one night only “Australia Plays Broadway” event with fellow Australian icons Olivia Newton-John as well as Simon Burke who hosted the event. Amanda Harrison also made an appearance. Harrison is currently playing in the Australian version of WICKED.
Campbell has had three platinum albums in Australia in the last three years and his most recent song just made it in the top ten in the Australian charts.
Waking in New York, I layed in bed flipping through my black berry. An alert came across, “Veronica’s Celebrate Birthday in Sydney.” Well, it was enough to rouse me to log on to the computer and look at the pictures.
I love these girls. While in Australia last, I played one of their songs over an over while driving in Surfer’s. They are talented and outgoing, something that is very admirable. Happy birthday girls! Photo by: W. Theodoro.
Well from our last post, it is true… The United Nations really does work.
Rudely Interrupted played at United Nations Headquarters in New York today. You can see the Melbourne band rocking it out by clicking here. This was to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The event was organized by the Permanent Missions of Australia and Hungary. This was also in in cooperation with the secretariat for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, DESA.
Tim Out New York says that Rudely Interrupted, “They stand apart from their peers - not because of the intellectual disabilities, but because their music is some of the most energetic and genuine to emerge from the Australian rock ‘n’ roll underground in recent times. Their songs life the band above the realm of novelty and give them a cultural cache in the image obsessed world of indie rock.”
When we received the press release on this event, we did not realize the disabilities of Rudely Interrupted. However, it warmed our hearts to see them play in New York.
After all, there are days when we all have our handicaps and disabilities.
We just happened to be surfing the web and ran accross www.UN.org/Works.
Now, more than ever, the world looks to the United Nations for solutions to the world’s problems.

Well, she won the crown of being Australia’s “Top Model” and yesterday she posed in Sydney with chocolates. We have nothing BAD to say about Ms. Reveley… Her recent trip to New York City was said to be a success. What we do have to say is maybe as Australians we should create our own programming instead of copying everything that is done in the U.S.
Wouldent that be a scream if we created a show here in Australia that was syndicated all over the world? Meanwhile, we wish Ms. Revely all the best with the candies.

Australia’s own Stevie Wonder, blind Indigenous singer, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, managed to pick up 3 awards at this year’s AIR Awards in Melbourne. The AIR Awards recognize the outstanding achievements of local artists who release their work through an Australian-owned independent record label and distribute their work through an Australian-owned distribution company.
Yunupingu won best new artist, best independent album, and best Australian blues and roots album. Yunupingu is on a serious winning streak. I always wonder how the competition must feel when they lose to someone who is blind. Do they cruelly think, “But he’s blind. How could this be?!”
I remember walking down the street once and almost tripping a blind man because I didn’t see him coming. I felt pretty stupid which is probably what some of the losers felt like last night.
Other performers included Lior, Martha Wainwright, The Getaway Plan, and more.

Just last week Australia captain Ricky Ponting allowed Andrew Symonds back for the Test against New Zealand, and now Symonds may have gone and messed it all up again. Cricket Australia is investigating an alleged physical altercation at a popular Brisbane hotel on Sunday night. In a statement to the press, the all-rounder denies he did anything wrong and he also addressed rumors that he is being treated for alcohol.
“I was sharing some drinks with other players and close friends and did not in any way provoke this situation. I would also like to take the opportunity to clarify reports last week that I am being treated for alcohol addiction. I am being treated for a stress related illness and I remain committed to dealing with these issues,” Symonds stated.
Andrew may not know the fate of his international career until after the Adelaide Test, which begins on Friday.
With his track record Andrew is practically begging for a reality show. All of the troubled and semi-washed up stars get one when their personal lives are a wreck, so why not Andrew? We could call the show “Life in the Cricket Lane,” and catch Andrew showing up to practice drunk and falling over himself (the 2005 incident) or catch him fishing when he’s scheduled for practice (the August 2008 incident). Now that’s must-see TV
