Debra Byrne makes social media plea for witnesses to alleged sex assault

Queen of pop and long-time Australian actor Debra Byrne has taken to social media to appeal for witnesses who may have seen an alleged sexual assault during the filming of a Young Talent Time clip.

On Friday night, Byrne, 57, one of the original six Young Talent Time cast members, wrote a post on the Facebook page of Channel 0-10 detailing sexual abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of two men while participating in the popular Australian program. In the post, she accused two men - who cannot be named for legal reasons - of abusing her while she was a young girl.

The Australian athlete who stage bombed Kylie Minogue’s Commonwealth Games closing ceremony performance says she has no regrets.

Genevieve LaCaze stole the show when she jumped on stage at Glasgow, waving a miniature flag alongside Minogue’s dancers for almost a minute before being ushered away by security.

The steeplechase runner, who was celebrating her 25th birthday at the ceremony, said she wanted to live in the moment.

THE Flick’s namesake is a run-down, single-screen theatre in Worcester County, Massachusetts. The Friday night shift every week is manned by the same three people.

Film-obsessed Avery takes a job at The Flick for one reason: it’s an analog oasis in the middle of a digital revolution — one of the last cinemas in the state with a 35mm projector. Sam (Ben Prendergast) shows Avery (Kevin Hofbauer) the ropes, sweeping up popcorn and offering nuggets of wisdom about how best to clean the soda machine. As they make their way from row to row in the empty cinema, Avery turns to Sam: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” he asks. “I am grown up”, comes the reply. Sam’s 35, and they’re called dead-end jobs for a reason. Rose (Ngaire Dawn Fair), the green-haired projectionist, flits between sleepy-eyed indifference and unfiltered deadpan.

United States viewers appear somewhat bemused by The Real Housewives of Melbourne, which made its debut on US television screens overnight.

Twitter was awash with bitchy comments about the Australian version of the long-running Real Housewives franchise, many of them focusing on the appearance of the six stars.

The series, which features Janet Roach, Lydia Schiavello, Jackie Gillies, Andrea Moss, Chyka Keebaugh and Gina Liano, is being screened in the noon slot by cable channel Bravo. Bravo plans to show the entire 10-episode series plus a reunion special.

They fell in love watched by an audience of millions.

So it is perhaps only natural that Bachelorette Andi Dorfman plans to wed fiancé Josh Murray in the same way - live on television.

The pair have revealed their plans to allow the cameras into their big day.

The reality television personality told People she would get hitched on television, 'as long as I get to marry him.'

The actress showed she has a sense of humour by taking part in a crazy game on The Tonight Show with host Jimmy Fallon

Hollywood superstar Julia Roberts proved she doesn’t take herself too seriously when she agreed to take part in a new game called Face Balls on American TV.

Appearing with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night, the 46-year-old actress was up for the challenge when The Tonight Show host suggested throwing inflatable balls at one another’s faces and then watching it back in super HD slow motion.

A year after playing Jackie Robinson in "42," Chadwick Boseman was back in biopic spring training.

To become James Brown for the film "Get on Up," Boseman needed to rely on an entirely different skill set. But the preparation necessary to transform into a tireless performer like Brown -- "the hardest working man in show business," after all -- was oddly reminiscent of working out on the baseball diamond.

"I was like, 'This is déjÃ vu,'" says Boseman. "I'm waking up in the morning and lacing them up. Doesn't matter whether it's cleats or if it's leather shoes."

A New Show About Doctors Of Old

ARUN RATH, HOST:

It's hard to imagine today, but before the 20th century, people who needed surgery were more likely to go to their barber than a hospital. Steven Soderbergh's new series on Cinemax called "The Knick" takes us right back to that time. It's set in the fictional New York City hospital, the Knickerbocker, in 1900. It's a dark, dirty, rather frightening place, and the doctors are not afraid to try new procedures.

(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "THE KNICK")

Keith Urban has finally spoken out about one of his teen fans who was arrested for allegedly raping another teenager on July 26th at his alcohol-fuelled concert in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

The country music star's performance at the Xfinity Center in front of a sold-out crowd, which was part of his 'Raise 'Em Up' tour, ended in mayhem after 40 fans were reportedly treated by medical staff for mostly alcohol-related reasons, and a further 22 individuals were hospitalized in the town's local medical centre, which is around 25 miles south of Boston.

Following last week’s altercation between Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber, new reports have emerged that could explain why the Pirates of the Caribbean star lashed out.

Apparently Bieber "regularly boasted" about sleeping with former Victoria’s Secret angel Miranda Kerr while she was still married to Bloom.

A source told the New York Daily News: “Bieber would brag about it while he was in the studio”.

Group of Spanish actors wrote open letter calling for EU to condemn Israel

The Hollywood star and father of Angelina Jolie claims the pair are helping to fan 'the fire of anti-Semitism that is raging all over the world now' after they called for Europe to condemn Israel's bombing of the Palestinian territory, which has now claimed at least 1,200 lives - many of them civilians.

As Sookie makes a decision about Bill, Eric closes in on Sarah Newlin, Violet gets kinky, and Arlene has her moment.

This episode has some of season 7's best moments in it: From Arlene's sex dream and sweet dance with Keith, to Sookie and Bill essentially re-creating their first time together. Plus, Violet's sex dungeon, and the return of Hoyt, Dr. Ludwig (!), Niall, and a hallucinated Steve Newlin. Heart, humor, horror, and horniness—everything you want in True Blood. Let's break it down.

Nora takes a bullet and finds hope from Holy Wayne
"In your opinion, do you believe the Departed is in a better place?" —Nora

Of all the damaged people in The Leftovers, Nora Durst is the only major character who actually lost someone close during the Rapture. In her case, it's made her a minor celebrity in Mapleton because she's the rare 1-in-128,000 case who lost her entire family—husband and two young children. What makes her even more unusual is that she now works for the government's Department of Sudden Departure, interviewing people like herself with an intrusive questionnaire before they can receive the government's generous payout for their loss. That she works for the government in such an official capacity was a surprise to me; when we first witnessed her at work, badgering the parents of a departee with Downs syndrome, I suspected that she was a fraud, callously freelancing in order to quell her own pain. After all, this is The Leftovers.

But Joe, who was still smarting from seeing Apple's talking Macintosh and his breakup with Cameron (Mackenzie Davis), just couldn't leave well enough alone.

Both cases close on unexpected notes in an episode that honors those past and looks to the future for Linden and Holder

And so The Killing's series finale begins just as the pilot did, with Sarah Linden running. But this is not the tranquil jog of the show's opener. It's a frantic sprint, like she's running for her life. As soon as she spots the red pinwheel she cherished as a child—referenced during Linden's reunion with her biological mother in the show's penultimate episode—it's clear all this is a dream. Below that pinwheel is young Sarah Linden herself, buried and lifeless. After all these years working soul-crushing homicide cases (and going in and out of the psych ward), it took this entanglement with the Pied Piper (her partner, her lover, her boss, her first murder victim) to truly rob Linden of her innocence. Behind Linden, a gun comes into frame. Is death the only way she can return to her former, better self? Once the trigger is pulled, it blasts Linden into the waking world to find out.
