Michael Buble spotted Down Under

<p dir="ltr">Canadian singing sensation Michael Bublé has landed in Australia ahead of his 2023 Higher Tour. </p> <p dir="ltr">The star was initially set to perform in 2022, but due to “global logistical issues” he and his team were unable “to deliver the show that I feel Australians deserve”, and postponed until the following year. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Although it’s incredibly disappointing for all of us, I wanted to be transparent with you,” he said in a statement to fans at the time, “and hope you can understand what a difficult decision this was to make.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The first stop on the renewed tour saw him in Newcastle, before he jetted off to Perth for his second show Down Under. </p> <p dir="ltr">It was there that he crossed paths with his mother, taking to social media to share a sweet snap of their Aussie reunion, with a caption that left fans all across the globe chuckling. </p> <p dir="ltr">The picture saw Michael standing with an arm around his mum, Amber Santagà, smiles on each of their faces with water and the looped architectural designs of Elizabeth Quay behind them. </p> <p dir="ltr">“My mom opted for the upgraded ‘meet &amp; greet’ package which included a brief conversation and one photograph,” he quipped.</p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);

Trevor Noah brought a new perspective to TV satire - as well as a whole new audience

<p>After seven years of hosting <a href="https://www.cc.com/shows/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Show on Comedy Central</a>, a hit comedy show produced in the US but with global reach, South African born comedian Trevor Noah has announced <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/29/entertainment/trevor-noah-daily-show/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plans to leave</a> and focus on his stand-up comedy. During his tenure as host of the political satire series, which he took over from the revered <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/jon-stewart/?sh=35f2ad793fbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jon Stewart</a>, Noah has offered important takes on issues in the US – and the world.</p> <p>Considering that the late-night television satire scene in the US remains <a href="https://theconversation.com/trevor-noah-is-leaving-the-daily-show-how-did-he-fare-191699" target="_blank" rel="noopener">populated by white men</a>, Noah has offered unique “black” African insights into issues that affect black Americans. He has also been lucid in talking about issues that have an effect on Africa and Africans. Noah’s knowledge of Africa and African politics has helped him demonstrate that there are few differences between America, lauded as one of the greatest democracies in the world, and global south countries that Trump once called “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcMFmoTCdcU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shithole</a>” states.</p> <p>Noah’s approach attracted more African Americans than was the case during Stewart’s tenure. A 2017 study <a href="https://decider.com/2017/10/16/trevor-noah-tds-nielsen-ratings-analysis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by Nielsen Media Research</a> showed that during Stewart’s final season, 84.5% of the viewers were white. Noah lost 40% of the white viewers and gained 16% more black viewers than his predecessor.</p> <p>He spoke with great clarity on issues such as the <a href="https://theconversation.com/black-lives-matter-protests-are-shaping-how-people-understand-racial-inequality-178254" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter</a> protests against racism, discrimination and racial inequity experienced by black people, the turbulent Trump presidency, the rise in white supremacy and the global COVID pandemic. By commenting on these different issues, he was able to bring home the inequalities that continue to be seen and experienced in the US.</p> <p>Noah has defied the odds, offered a youthful, “black” perspective and drawn in a new audience. He will be a hard act to follow - which is what people said of his predecessor.</p> <h2>Noah’s particular past</h2> <p>Growing up and coming of age in South Africa has undoubtedly shaped Noah’s worldview. In his book <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29780253-born-a-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Born a Crime</a> (2016), and in his numerous stand-up comedy shows, he set out what it meant growing up in apartheid South Africa, with its white-minority rule and policies of racial segregation. Because his father was white and his mother black, he could not have a normal childhood in which he could grow up in the same home as both his parents. It was legally impossible. the <a href="https://omalley.nelsonmandela.org/omalley/index.php/site/q/03lv01538/04lv01828/05lv01829/06lv01884.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Immorality Act</a> prohibited sex between people of different races.</p> <p>Noah drew on his experiences in South Africa in his role as chief anchor of The Daily Show. In particular he was able to show the striking parallels between present day America and apartheid-era South Africa. He explains this reality in one of the <a href="https://www.ccn.com/trevor-noah-frightening-us-south-africa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episodes</a> of the show at the height of the global coronavirus pandemic:</p> <blockquote> <p>Living in this period in America, as much as I hate to say it, a lot of the things that I’m seeing are similar to what we experienced in South Africa. Mass unemployment, a government that doesn’t seem to have the best interests of the people at heart. People who are getting angrier and angrier.</p> </blockquote> <p>He explained in another <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FPrJxTvgdQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> of the show during the run-up to the 2016 US elections that</p> <blockquote> <p>as an African, there’s just something familiar about Trump that makes me feel at home.</p> </blockquote> <p>He went on to talk about striking resemblances between former US president Donald Trump and several former African presidents such as Jacob Zuma of South Africa, Idi Amin of Uganda and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.</p> <h2>Comedy and political satire</h2> <p>I argue in a <a href="https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-81969-9_3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book chapter</a> on political satire that the comic offers important ways of criticising those in power. During his tenure at The Daily Show, Noah has used comedy and satire to discuss diverse pressing contemporary issues, in the US and globally. As he has <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2020-08-27/daily-show-trevor-noah-emmys-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I believe in the importance of jokes. I will never lose that. I always tell people, ‘Jokes are what made me’. That’s how I see the world.</p> </blockquote> <p>Before joining The Daily Show, Noah was an established stand-up comedian. In South Africa, he was known for satirising Jacob Zuma during his presidency for corruption and his role in state capture.</p> <p>Comedy has allowed him to deal with difficult subjects in a lighthearted way. He has <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/29/entertainment/trevor-noah-daily-show/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that:</p> <blockquote> <p>I’ve loved trying to find a way to make people laugh, even when the stories are particularly s—, even on the worst days.</p> </blockquote> <p>Noah has infused the comic into his anchoring of The Daily Show and managed to tackle controversial topics in a cheerful yet hard-hitting way.</p> <h2>Poking holes in American exceptionalism</h2> <p>Being a foreigner in the US, Noah has the necessary distance to offer sobering analyses of current affairs in that country. Through his examination of the Trump presidency and the Black Lives Matter movement, he has shown that the idea of America being “exceptional” is an illusion.</p> <p>At the height of the Black Lives Matter protests in the US, he took to The Daily Show to give a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb4Bg8mu2aM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grim yet poignant monologue</a> about race in the US. Noah traced the chain of events that went beyond the killing of George Floyd, a black man who was suffocated to death on the side of a road by a group of white policemen, to show the precarity of black lives in contemporary America.</p> <p>The monologue is sharp, knowledgeable and nuanced in its explanation of what was happening in the US. He grounded it on historical events to show that nothing was new. The US was not exceptional. The US democracy was as imperfect as that of the many countries that it had preached to for many years.</p> <p>It has taken a late-night host from outside the US to point to the failings of the US and its democracy.</p> <h2>Late night TV without Noah</h2> <p>The late-night circuit will be different without Noah, the only black and African host of a late-night show in the US. Because of his intimate knowledge of global popular culture, he has had a youthful viewership.</p> <p>His peers do not have the same perspective or viewership. If Noah replacing Stewart was seen as a daunting exercise, filling the shoes of Noah might prove to be even more challenging.</p> <p><strong>This article originally appeared on <a href="https://theconversation.com/trevor-noah-brought-a-new-perspective-to-tv-satire-as-well-as-a-whole-new-audience-191800" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Conversation</a>.</strong></p> <p><em>Image: Facebook</em></p>

Michael Buble admits he’s received “a lot” of death threats following controversy

<p><span>Michael Buble has admitted he and his wife were targeted by disgruntled fans after a video showing the singer nudging his partner with his elbow sparked a major controversy.</span><br /><br /><span>The Canadian star appeared alongside Luisana Lopilato on Instagram to chat to fans back in April.</span><br /><br /><span>However many supporters became concerned when he appeared to interrupt and grab her.</span><br /><br /><span>The singer's representative put out a statement calling the controversy "a failed effort of cyber bullying".</span><br /><br /><span>Speaking on Argentinian TV show Intrusos, Luisana revealed that while the couple received support over stories surrounding the event, there were a lot of hateful comments too.</span><br /><br /><span>"We received a lot of love from people but you wouldn't believe the amount of people who sent me photos with weapons saying they were going to kill Mike when he reached Argentina, photos of knives from people laughing and saying they were going to cut off his fingers, leave a bomb for us or give him a beating," she said.</span><br /><br /><span>"It made me afraid and I still feel a little bit frightened."</span><br /><br /><span>Luisana went on to add: "It's not nice to receive death threats. There were a lot of threats. The positive messages we received outnumbered them but I am worried for my family. I suffered a lot with what happened."</span><br /><br /><span>"It caused Mike a lot of pain too. He loves Argentina and he loves being with me in Argentina when I'm working.</span><br /><br /><span>"He loves the friends he has in Argentina. Can you imagine what it feels like to receive a photo from Argentina of a youngster holding a weapon and the warning: 'This is what you're going to get when you come here!'"</span><br /><br /><span>Buble says he is the victim of a “fake news” campaign.</span><br /><br /><span>"Mike is a gentleman who is always concerned with trying to make me even more happy than I already am,” Luisana said.</span></p>

“He was in a filthy mood”: Triple M’s Gus Worland reveals best and worst celebrities to interview

I’ve never watched a Seagal movie since. I just look at him now and think, ‘What’s wrong with you, brother?’</p> <p>“Wayne Gardner (former 500cc Motorcycle World Champion) was a bit of a knob-end too,” the Triple M host said.</p> <p>“He was in a filthy mood and we wanted to talk about a whole lot of things from motorcycling to V8s and he just didn’t want to play. He gave really short answers and there were no explanations when we asked for a story. We ended up not even airing it.</p> <p>“When you meet someone that you’ve looked up to and they don’t play ball, it does leave a bit of a sour taste in your mouth,” he added.</p>

Michael Bublé’s wife opens up about son’s cancer battle

<p>It’s every parent’s worst nightmare for their child to be faced with a life-threatening illness, but sadly, for Michael Bublé and his wife Luisana Lopilato, that nightmare became a reality last year when their three-year-old son Noah was diagnosed with liver cancer.</p> <p>A couple of months ago, <a href="/news/news/2017/03/good-news-for-michael-bubles-son/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">the family confirmed</span></strong></a> Noah was doing “very well”, and now, in an emotional <a href="http://tn.com.ar/show/basicas/luisana-lopilato-revelo-todos-los-detalles-del-cancer-vivio-noah-su-hijo_806192" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">new interview on Argentinian TV</span></strong></a>, Luisana has opened up about the moment she received the heartbreaking news.</p> <p>“After they did the ultrasound, they told me they found something in his belly,” she recalled. “They didn’t know what it was yet, or if it was a tumour, but that day I decided to take a flight [to the United States].”</p> <p>She revealed that the couple had made a pact to meet in Los Angeles if ever they needed medical treatment, as it was halfway between her native Argentina and Bublé’s Canada.</p> <p>“Without saying anything to Michael, I took the plane,” she recalled. “I took [Noah] to the hospital as soon as I arrived. We have an oncologist, a friend who does not take care of kids, but he saw him. It was all from God. I don’t know how to explain it. If we hadn’t done that ultrasound to find out if he had mononucleosis, it would have been so much worse.”</p> <p>The pair both put their careers on hold to be by their son’s side during such a difficult time. “These things, when they happen to you in life, they make you realise that the most important thing isn’t what you thought it was – it’s to have faith, to be strong,” Luisana said.</p> <p>“For any parent, it’s devastating to receive news like this. It was very heavy. We received all the prayers, all the calls. The only thing that got me through it was faith, from the very beginning.”</p>

Good news for Michael Bublé's son

<p>Michael Bublé's three-year-old son Noah, who was diagnosed with liver cancer last year, is “doing well”, according to the singer's brother-in-law.</p> <p>The brother of Michael's wife Luisana Lopilato, Dario, told La Nacion, "After these very long months, Noah is doing well, very well."</p> <p>"For me it's very difficult to talk about it. But I believe in God and sought comfort in Jesus Christ and a miracle from God came, from the way it was discovered, after the operation, everything."</p> <p><img width="500" height="623" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/34154/1_500x623.jpg" alt="1 (164)" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>Noah’s uncle added: "I feel it's important to carry on accompanying. That's why I stop what I'm doing here every so often and travel there."</p> <p>"When you look at the big picture, and someone has a serious problem, everything else seems less important," he said. "The important thing is that we're together and we're living through this as a family."</p> <p>Bublé shared the heartbreaking news that Noah had been diagnosed with cancer last November. He is understandably taking time off his work commitments to be with his family. </p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/family-pets/2017/02/children-get-intelligence-genes-from-their-mothers/">Children get intelligence genes from their mothers</a></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/family-pets/2017/02/cartoons-show-how-valuable-grandmothers-are/">Sweet cartoons prove how valuable grandmothers are</a></em></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/family-pets/2017/01/photos-show-what-kids-do-when-left-alone/">15 hilarious photos show what kids do when left alone</a></em></strong></span></p>

Aussie’s full-size Noah’s Ark replica ready to set sail

<p>Earlier this year we told you a Dutch contractor had <a href="/news/news/2016/04/noahs-ark-replica-set-to-hit-high-seas/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>built a full size replica</strong></span></a> of Noah’s Ark, the famous boat from the Bible’s Book of Genesis. Well, if this story is anything to go by it looks as though he’s not the only person on the lookout for two of every animal.</p> <p>Kent Ham, an Australian-born religious leader in the US has created another full-size replica of Noah’s Ark, intending to open it as an attraction to visitors.</p> <p>Ham left his job as a science teacher in Brisbane over three years ago, moving to the US and eventually going on to become the founder of Answers In Genesis organisation and one of the more polarising figures in America’s notorious Bible Belt.</p> <p>Ham’s controversial views have somewhat overshadowed the construction of the replica, which as you can see in the video above represents quite an architectural feat.</p> <p>Local atheist group Tri-State Freethinkers is reportedly planning a protest against Ham’s Ark Encounter experience as it’s set to open on Thursday.</p> <p>Freethinkers’ founder and president, Jim G Helton, told <a href="/news.com.au" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>News.com.au</strong></span></a>, “We’re not saying he can’t build his park. But we don’t think it’s appropriate for a family fun day.”</p> <p>What’s your take on the story? Do you think it’s appropriate for Ham to open this part as a family holiday park?
