Biopics

Today I am sharing some biographical movies and TV shows based on true stories.  The Act The act is a television series based on the lives of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Dee Dee had a condition called Munchhausen by proxy, which caused her to fabricate health problems, in her daughter. Gypsy was abused by Dee all her life and finally she and her boyfriend killed Dee Dee. Patricia Arquette plays Dee Dee and Joey King plays Gypsy Rose. They both did an amazing job! I have watched the series and some clips of the real Gypsy Rose and Joey was spot on with her portrayal, especially the voice! It is dark, and creepy and not easy to watch but I think it is one of the best true crime dramas. You can watch the eight-episode series on Hulu and Binge.  Bombshell Bombshell tells the story of the women who were sexually harassed by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. The cast includes Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, Margot Robbie as Kayl...

Interview with Lauren Yeates

Last month, I had the opportunity to interview Lauren Yeates, an entertainment reporter, celebrity interviewer and founder of the entertainment news website and podcast  Rave It Up . We had a chat about many things including how she got started in journalism and the media industry, some of the celebrities she has interviewed, the Rave It Up podcast and the book she has written. Have a read of the interview here.   Photo: Lauren Yeates What attracted you to Journalism? Journalism wasn’t something I really wanted to do . I just loved entertainment and it was after I did an interview with Justice Crew , I realised I loved interviewing. Before that, I never thought of interviewing at all. It was after Justice Crew that I had a light bulb moment and was like, I love doing this! I love having that up close and personal time with these celebrities and get to ask the questions I want to know the answers to which a lot of other people as fans want to know as well. Also, becaus...

Olympic Moments

Photo: CNN Week one of the Tokyo Olympics has ended and there have been so many amazing moments of triumph, determination and sportsmanship. In this blog post I am sharing a few of them. Australian swimmers Emily Seebohm and Kaylee McKeown have been friends for many years and shared a touching moment after Saturday's 100m and 200m finals. Emily, who is a four-time olympian offered to present Kaylee with the gold medal because she wanted her to feel like she had a family member there with her, as athletes families are watchhing from their homes. After Kaylee received her medal, she surprised Emily by asking her to stay on top of the podium while the national anthem played. Beautiful gestures! Congratulations Emily and Kaylee, Australia is proud!
