[COMEDY: Interview] Russell Brand
Eccentricity and excess is Russell Brand’s mantra. The globally revered comedian, actor and author may be infamous for his loopy and in past-times drug-addled behaviour, but in 2012 he is on a natural high; he’s just performed at the Olympic Closing Ceremony and embarked on a world tour – including stadium-sized shows around Australia.

[FILM: Review] Katy Perry: Part Of Me
The reason Katy Perry: Part Of Me is so effective is that, while pop singer Perry is its ostensible subject, it’s not really about her at all – it’s about you. It’s about you, the gawky young dreamer with a talent your family and friends don’t yet understand. It’s about you, who are so pretty and don’t even realise it.

Part Of Me is part-3D concert film and part-documentary, but mostly, it’s an exercise in empowerment. It’s an hour-and-a-half-long affirmation that if you follow your dreams, you too can burn as brightly as Katy Perry.
