To his detractors, Disney represented everything that was wrong with American culture, from its saccharine sentimentality and simplification of history to its redirection of our attention from reality to fantasy.

Greeted by angry mobs and celebrity gawkers, Khrushchev turned on his charm and quick wit. By the time he hit the West Coast, the US was enthralled by his presence, chasing him along the whistle-stops of his tour. As current East-West relations become strained, this is a timely reflection on super power maneuvering.

  • Joel Creasey
    JOEL CREASEY “Creasey is an unstoppable force and the crown prince of Aussie comedy.” - The Daily Telegraph Joel Creasey is one of Australia's most-popular, acclaimed and charmingly controversial stand-up comedians. A self-described shameless "fame whore", Joel has become a television staple in Australia. This year alone, Joel has captained his team to (occasional) victory on the first season of Channel Ten’s newest studio-based comedy series, Show Me The Movie!, along with enemy-captain Jane Harber and host Rove McManus. Ten Network has just announced a second season. Joel also made his soap star debut on one of Australia’s favourite TV shows, Neighbours. It was recently announced that Joel shall be Australia’s newest and frankly loosest, cupid – hosting the worldwide phenomenon dating show, ‘Take Me Out’, on Network Seven. To add to a very busy television year, Joel was chuffed to see his stand up special, recorded at the esteemed Sydney Opera House, air on Network Ten. A prestigious honour that not many stand-up comedians have achieved. Landing the much coveted role as co-host of SBS’s ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ alongside Myf Warhurst in 2017, Joel and Myf returned in 2018 for the global event described as the Olympics of song contests. Joel caused international headlines this year during his commentary, when a stage invader attempted to grab the microphone during the UK’s performance. Reacting without hesitation, Joel said “what an absolute cockhead”, a quote that immediately went viral worldwide. Even JK Rowling heard the quote and instantly praised his candour, awarding him an ‘Order of Merlin First Class’, a title only held by 11 people in the world (yes, it’s really a thing and Joel’s proudest achievement to date).

  • 'Just Like Us'?
    ‘Just like us’? Investigating how LGBTQ Australians read celebrity media Lucy Watson A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2019 Statement of originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. A version of Chapter Nine appears in the book Gender and Australian Celebrity Culture (forthcoming), edited by Anthea Taylor and Joanna McIntyre. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Lucy Watson 25th September 2019 i Abstract In the 21st century, celebrity culture is increasingly pervasive. Existing research on how people (particularly women) read celebrity indicates that celebrity media is consumed for pleasure, as a way to engage in ‘safe’ gossip amongst imagined, as well as real, communities about standards of morality, and as a way to understand and debate social and cultural behavioural standards. The celebrities we read about engage us in a process of cultural identity formation, as we identify and disidentify with those whom we consume. Celebrities are, as the adage goes, ‘just like us’ – only richer, more talented, or perhaps better looking. But what about when celebrities are not ‘just like us’? Despite relatively recent changes in the representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) life in the media, the world of celebrity is an overwhelmingly heterosexual one.

ROYALTIES DONATED TO SUPPORT MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH KNOCK, KNOCK XOU CREATIVE > SAS512 BLOKE-A-SAURUS COVER CONCEPTS | R4 | CONCEPT 1 | 15.03.18 SHELL Everywhere he looked he saw what Utzon saw. The drama of harbour and horizon, and at night, the star-clotted sky. It held the shape of the possible, KRISTINA OLSSON of a promise made and waiting to be kept … In 1965 as Danish architect Jørn Utzon’s striking vision for the Sydney Opera House transforms the skyline and unleashes a storm of controversy, the shadow of the Vietnam War and a deadly lottery threaten to tear the country apart. Journalist Pearl Keogh, exiled to the women’s pages after being photographed at an anti-war protest, is desperate to find her two missing brothers and save them from the draft. Axel Lindquist, a visionary young glass artist from Sweden, is obsessed with creating a unique work that will do justice to Utzon’s towering masterpiece. In this big, bold and hauntingly beautiful portrait of art and life, Shell captures a world on the brink of seismic change though the eyes of two unforgettable characters caught in the eye of the storm. And reminds us why taking a side matters. ‘Shell is a beautifully wrought, many-layered novel that transcends time and place, and I haven’t read anything quite like it since Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See. Shell will be one of those novels that everyone is still reading for decades to come.’ Suzanne Baboneau, Managing Director of Adult Publishing at Simon & Schuster UK ‘Shell is the kind of masterful work that reads like the literary equivalent of Botticelli’s Venus – one imagines it leapt onto the page, fully formed, from the author’s imagination – as the precision of Kristina Olsson’s prose and the depth of her story are outshone only by their apparent effortlessness.’ Sarah Cantin, Atria Books Senior Editor ‘This book is, quite simply, a masterpiece.
