Sally Obermeder: 'Heat' DVD Flashmob + DVD Giveaway

I mean, C'MON.

Who doesn't love Sally Obermeder?

What's not to love? Best laugh. Cancer survivor. Top mum and wife. TV presenter extraordinaire on Channel 7's 'The Daily Edition'. Dancing With The Stars alumna.

And now, heading up a flashmob? You betcha!

Here's the video proof:



Says the YouTube description:

"To celebrate the release of 'The Heat' on Blu-ray and DVD, Australian TV star Sally Obermeder leads dozens of SPANX-clad dancers in this spectacular flashmob held during rush hour at Sydney's Central Station.

In one side-splitting scene, McCarthy challenges Bullock's up tight character by taking a pair of scissors to her immaculate suit, only to reveal some figure-hugging Spanx underneath. 

So, in a nod to the famous slimming essential, many of the performers wore Spanx, matched with killer heels, FBI caps and aviator shades.

Commenting on her involvement, Sally said: “For those who didn’t catch the movie at the cinema, it’s a must see – you’ll quite literally be wetting your Spanx!”

In reference to her stint on this year’s 'Dancing With The Stars', Sally added, “I’m clearly not ready to hang up my dancing shoes just yet.”

The Heat is the hilarious new offering from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig, and tracks the police partnership between straight-laced FBI Agent Sarah Washburn (Sandra Bullock) and foul-mouthed Boston Police Officer Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy).

'The Heat' is now available on Blu-ray & DVD and 20th Century Fox has been kind enough to give Josie's Juice readers the opp to win one of FIVE copies DVDs.

Kerri-Anne Kennerley: 'Behind Mansion Walls' - Foxtel

Iconic Australian media personality Kerri-Anne Kennerley is back. She's kinda breathtaking:

'KAK' makes her much-anticipated return to television as the host of 'Behind Mansion Walls' on Foxtel’s Crime & Investigation Network, premiering on Wednesday, December 11 at 7.30pm.

The engaging 13 x 60 minute series explores the mysterious real life cases of greed, betrayal and murder lurking within the walls of some of the world’s wealthiest homes.

Throughout the series, Kerri-Anne will lead viewers through stories of murder and mystery on a grand scale, where the victims and suspects include oil tycoons, real estate moguls and heirs to family fortunes.

From millionaires who have paid blood money to eradicate their enemies, to spoilt rich kids who have murdered family members for cash, to family dynasties that have imploded, Behind Mansion Walls shares the fascinating stories of crimes that have unfolded behind the veil of wealth.

In episode one, Kerri-Anne introduces viewers to the Skakel and Bierenbaum cases.

When 15 year old Martha Moxley was found beaten to death in her own backyard in the exclusive enclave of Belle Haven, Connecticut, on Halloween Eve 1975, the residents were shocked. The police focused their attention on the Moxley’s neighbours, Tommy and Michael Skakel, who were part of one of the most powerful families on the East Coast – and cousins to the Kennedy family.

High-flying plastic surgeon Dr Robert Bierenbaum and his wife Gail lived the glamorous life in their Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan. But in the summer of 1985, Bierenbaum reported his wife missing. He told police she’d gone to Central Park for the afternoon. This Manhattan mystery would take fifteen years to solve.

And in an Australian case, in episode three, Kerri-Anne presents the case of the disappearance of Sydneysider Kerry Whelan. Remember it?

The wife of a multi-millionaire company executive, Whelan disappeared on her way to a beauty appointment in Sydney in May 1997. The case sparked Australia's greatest police manhunt. As hopes for Kerry began to fade, a surprising suspect emerged. Bruce Burrell was a respectable advertising executive with a bunch of well-to-do friends, including the Whelans.

'Behind Mansion Walls' is produced by Beyond Productions and is exclusive to Crime & Investigation Network.

'Behind Mansion Walls' starts Wednesday, December 11 at 7.30pm EDT on CI Network.

Road Safety Campaigns Australia: Very Graphic. Don't Drink and Drive.

I saw this on my friend's Facebook page and very reluctantly clicked.

Thing is, I knew it would have a huge impact, I'd read the 'very graphic' warning, and knew I should watch it once, and once only... so I could post about it authentically here.

It affects me so deeply because my father was killed in a car accident when I was age 13, and I have never and will never recover from his death. A man killed him on a Sunday morning, on December 1, 1985. It was 7am. On our street. The man was fatigued. I believe he was still drunk and hungover. Our family was utterly torn apart and never put back together properly. Ever. Ever.

The scenes in this - many I recall from road safety campaigns over the years - are all too real.

The police coming to our door. Us going to the hospital and getting that dreaded news. And collapsing. And wailing. The identifying the body at the morgue. Attending my first funeral - my father's. The life-altering and deeply distressing aftermath. It all happened. In real life. In my life.

Watch the video, below:

Please share this post with everyone you are connected with on social media (and even those who are not on Facebook).

It's crucial viewing, with an urgent reminder: don't drink and drive, don't drive fatigued, don't text or talk on the mobile phone and drive.

Please share. And heed the warning. Thanks.

Says the YouTube video description:

"On December 10th 1989 the first TAC commercial went to air. In that year the road toll was 776; by last year 2008 it had fallen to 303.

A five minute retrospective of the road safety campaigns produced by the TAC over the last 20 years has been compiled. The montage features iconic scenes and images from commercials that have helped change they way we drive, all edited to the moving song Everybody Hurts by REM.

This campaign is a chance to revisit some of the images that have been engraved on our memories, remember the many thousands of people who have been affected by road trauma and remind us all that for everyones sake; please, drive safely. Transport Accident Commission Victoria."

Tina Arena - 'Reset': CD Giveaway

The new Tina Arena CD 'Reset' has received much critical acclaim (one writer exclaimed it was her John Farnham/'You're The Voice' moment, suggesting it's her best work yet). Yes, she's released some beautiful songs ('Oh Me, Oh My' is STILL my fave Tina track) and given us some gasp-worthy moments (the Aussie anthem at the Cadel Evans Tour de France win, the Sydney 2000 Olympics), and to see her live as I did at the Sydney Opera House is an incredibly moving experience.

And here, two of the singles from her new album 'Reset'. 'You Set Fire To My Life':

And this, the new track 'Only Lonely' as heard on the latest 'Home & Away' TV promo:

Recorded in Stockholm, Paris, Sydney and Melbourne, 'Reset' features tracks produced by Boy Blue (P!nk, John Legend), Danton Supple (Coldplay, Morrissey), Robert Conley (Darren Hayes, Georgi Kay), Dann Hume (Alpine, Lisa Mitchell, Evermore) and Tina Arena herself – it's the first time she has co-produced tracks on an album.

And now, you have the chance to win one of five copies of the album here. Here's all you need to do:

Tina Arena: 'Now I Can Dance' - Book Review

The memoir from one of Australia's most loved singers of all time has just been released: Tina Arena's book titled 'Now I Can Dance'. It reveals plenty about the much-loved singer, songwriter and global superstar.

Here is the gorgeous book cover:

The book beautifully captures the journey of the Aussie singing stalwart's extensive career, starting with her intro to the Australian TV viewer when she was an eight year old star of 'Young Talent Time' - so you can imagine the stories Tina has to tell. It's so beautifully written and easy to read, it's like Tina herself is sharing those stories with you over coffee.

She has sold eight million albums (and released her renowned songs 'Chains', 'Sorrento Moon' and 'Symphony of Life'), won a swag of awards, and experienced incredible professional and personal highs and lows.

Says Tina: “I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t write and sing. It makes me who I am, regardless of where I happen to be or what language I’m speaking. It has done since I wrote my first song and sang it to myself in the shower. It’s as natural for me as breathing. Filippina Arena sings to live and lives to sing...”

Almost four decades in music and Tina has been on one hell of a ride... and you kinda get the sense she's experiencing her best year yet right now.

Sharing her life in a book for the very first time the book is an uplifting read all about her loves, her family, her determination and her passion: music. Any good bio simply must have fantastic photos to go with it, to anchor it all - Tina's does. Oh how I adore looking at all her old - and new - pics. Again, feels like you're right there. Highly recommended for old fans and new. Go buy it.

'Now I Can Dance' is out now at all book stores and department stores.
