Would that be in some way pleasant? Read on.
WHEN Ridley Scott’s latest film ‘Robin Hood’ opens today it will be the 53rd time the swashbuckling woodsman has appeared on our screens in the last 102 years. The classic story of the arrow slinging rebel who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor was first made in 1908 as a silent movie called Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Read more.
Getting a normal person’s tick of approval is one thing. But getting a pat on the head from a skeptical person is quite another. So I was delighted when cult busters and atheist campaigners Rachael Dunlop and Richard Saunders came round to quiz me on my research into groups like Scientology, Hillsong and Freedom First. Listen to the podcast here… it’s episode 65.
You’d hardly expect a Soy latte to send you to the hospital with a bung thyroid gland. But it’s already happened to 10 Aussies. Bonsoy, a Japanese Soy Milk, was banned in December because the seaweed extract squirted in it punches its Iodine levels through the roof. But still some coffee shops are selling the stuff.

It’s only when a TV show gets all controversial that you really wish you’d been watching it!

Yakked to Luke Bona filling in for Chris Smith and talked entertainment news. Had a massive scoop with my news that Carlotta is retiring after 44 years on the cabaret circuit. Yes the inspiration behind Priscilla Queen of the Desert is bowing out. Also talked about the new John Lennon biopic Nowwhere Boy which is great and Jodee Rich’s outrageous claim that Kerry Packer was evil. Click here to listen.
A couple of weeks ago I started chatting to ABC Alice Springs Mornings presenter Alice Brennan. I’m meant to do a weekly wrap up of politics, but usually end up running down tangents to make her laugh. So if you’re in The Alice on a Wednesday morning at 9.40am tune into 783 AM…
Well nothing. Expect they were both mentioned in my weekly entertainment report on 2GB. But don’t worry about that. Worry what exactly was going on with Tiger Woods and his woozer when she smashed in the back of his SUV with a golf club. And why won’t he talk to the cops? Is it because the scratches on his face could lead to them charging his wife with domestic violence? Well find out the answer to that and so much more by clicking here and listening…
