Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, actor Mickey Rourke has been kicked off Celebrity Big
Brother UK following more unacceptable behavior towards housemates.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, we're joined by our entertainment Peter Ford live here
in the studio.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Hello mate, nice to see you.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Mickey's behavior on the show has been very heavily criticized.
Speaker 5 (00:15):
Now, well it has been, but I mean, let's be honest.
The producers knew exactly what they're doing. You know, it's
like putting Sam Newman into the Celebrity Big Brother house.
You know something inappropriate's going to be said, terms expressions,
language that is not really acceptable. In twenty twenty five,
my gut feeling is he only signed up for five
days and he wanted to quick cash and get out
(00:38):
of there. Now, last week we spoke about the fact
you can see he's getting agro.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
They're all dressed as pirates for some challenge they had
to do.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
And last week we spoke about what was considered to
be a homophobic slur that he used. Over the weekend,
there was again language that wasn't acceptable that was used
and levels of aggression which meant that Big Brother basically
told him.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You've got to get out of here.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
He is a little of how that played out in
the diary room.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Language and behavior was threatening and aggressive. Right, Big Brother
does not tolerate threatening language or behavior. In addition, you
have used inappropriate sexual language to Ella.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
I'm not aware of that, but okay.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This language has caused offense to your fellow housemates and
could cause offense to the viewing public, and as a result,
Big Brother has no option but to ask you to
leave the Big Brother House.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Oh my gosh, what a shock.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
That wasn't the viewers, it was the producer.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Setting and you can almost see him thinking, you know,
is the check cashed. I'm on the plane out of here.
I got what I came for. I did my five days,
and I'm now going home.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
He's never been anything but controversial, exactly playing exactly.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
You know you sign up for watching, you know you
get it, and you get it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It's to give you hiss like a pirate.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
He got his trunk of gold cor and off he went.
Katy Perry is counting down the aussol she heads into space.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yes, wow, so this is amazing.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
So this is happening tonight, late our time, so no
doubt we'll be talking about it tomorrow when a bunch
of celebrities go into space. Then when we say they're
going into space, it makes it soun like they're gone
for three months and they're going to be walking on mass.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
No they're not.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
They're actually gone for eleven minutes, and they do go
sixty miles into the air. I mean, you're longer on
the rotor at Luna Park than you are going into space.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They experienced zero gravity.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
They will for a couple of minutes. They'll have that. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
So the two best known people who we know we're
going into it Katy Perry, and she presumably is going
to sing, and she'll be the first singer do it
sing in space, I guess, which puts you into the
history books. And of course Gail King, who most people
here know best, is the friend of Oprah Winfrey, but
a very respected broadcaster in America. So Katie is all
(03:01):
sorts of coincidences that she's latching onto in terms of
the spaceship and the nickname for the spaceship this is
Katy Perry.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
The capsule on the very front of it is the
outline in the shape of a feather. And when I
saw that, it was like a total confirmation because My
mom has always called me Feather. And so I'm in
space training today and it's you know, there's there's a
(03:30):
lot to digest. We're almost finished with the day and
they show us the capsule and we run simulations in
another capsule.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
And tested the noise and what to expect, and they
reveal the capsule name, and the capsule's name is Tortoise.
My mom calls me two nicknames, Feather and Tortoise.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I have some questions. Here's go guy.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You know, when you're going into space for eleven minutes,
apart from getting on and doing your seat build up,
what other training do you need?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Not a lot.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
They're not actually technically astronauts. Even though they're not, they're
not so they are celebrities. It's almost like the premise
of an Irwin Allen movie. Isn't there the celebrities in space?
And please God, nothing's going to go wrong, and tomorrow
we'll be talking about no doubt they'll put up their reaction.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know, i'd love to see on that trip, Mickey Rourke,
do you know if I'm going on that The only
question I'm asking is do I get to do the
floaty bit?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Only questions the answer came back.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Yes, yeah, Old Tom on a serious and as Saturday
Note Australian's Today Morning loss of a veteran broadcaster. Yeah,
Richard Zachar Ryer has died at the age of eighty
and had a lot of great credits, very much in
this space actually on daytime in at seven and also
at one point co reading evening news with the great
Anne Sanders. A lot of credits on the ABC as well.
(04:58):
Very big show they did in the day. He and
Maggie Tabra, who of course were a real life couple
and also a professional couple hosting a show called The
Home Show, which was big. Was kind of a forerunner,
I guess to shows like The Block and Designing houses
and whatever. There they were together doing an ad for
Luxe Flex Blinds, and of course, sadly that relationship did
(05:18):
end and Richard went on to find great happiness and
success as an author of several books. Actually, and he's
now gone at the age of eighty and of course
only a matter of months after the death of Maggie Tabra.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Four months Maggie.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Very charming man, wasn't he.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Pete The White Lotus is Saturday Night Live's latest victim
or the one they've taken off.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Not everyone's happy about though.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Not everyone is happy about it. Amy leu Wood, who
plays Chelsea, isn't happy. But they had to do it.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Didn't they.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I mean, such a pop culture for nomine you could
not do it. So the premise of this is the
main players of the White House are transported to the
tie Resort and where it's called the White Potus pot
Us President of the United States.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Here is a little of how this played out.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Hello, hark to Donald, it's your wife, Melonia.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Are you okay?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, sorry, I'll be ready in a second.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I mean, can you imagine how awful it would be
if America lost all its money and no one in
the world respected us anymore. You would never let our
economy go to peace?
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Says right Hon.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
I love it, yeah, clever. But Amy lou Wood wasn't
so amused by it. Now.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
She, as I say, played Chelsea, and she she got
onto her social media to say that she was quite
hurt by the end up. I think what she meant
was she felt the gag simply was her teeth rather
than being something else. I mean, I don't think she
mind them doing the teeth, but the gag should go
beyond just making fun of her teeth, which she says
she's sick of talking about, but she actually interestingly has
(07:15):
subsequently said on his social media she's had an apology
from Saturday Night Live. Now, I don't know from whom
or how that played out. It's very odd for Saturday
Night Love to apologize for anything, but she's saying they
have okay.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Thanks Peter, thank you. You're going to hang around. I
will even be back on the couch. That's great.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Help yourself to the coffee machine.
