Afghanistan and Iraq – ANZAC day 2012

Hug a digger day. Yo, what up my digger!

It is the 97th anniversary of the day ANZAC troops landed at Gallipoli, today we commemorate those who served in the First World War.

20,000 ex-servicemen are taking part in the Anzac Day march in their honour today and today every Australian salutes our armed forces with
utmost pride. It is that same pride that our armed forces carry when they serve and represent our country. Fighting for our lives and serving us all to keep our freedom. Even though in some peoples eyes our community is divided, this is the one thing that joins us all together as one. Say we get attacked from another country, your religion, race, colour creed, place of birth, stature, your bank account mean nothing as all we have are our armed forces to protect us all. When I was in the middle east as a part of Tour De Force to entertain the armed forces I saw first hand the unappreciated work that our armed forces do when abroad. Away from their loved ones, away from the creature comforts of home, living in horrible conditions and working extremely long and unexpected hours. After being there, hearing the stories and understanding why they do what they do I feel the job our troops are doing is completely called for and I have a newfound appreciation for our armed forces. Both of my grandfathers and my uncle was in the armed forces and never really talked about it a lot as I feel in their day it was not something that people respected and appreciated as much as they do now. Today is a day to stand up and say thank you to everyone who serves our country both home and abroad. Heres a couple of cool photos I took while on tour with The Angels and a stack of comedians entertaining the troops in the middle east.

Mikes Fashion weak

I knew they looked like something novel from my childhood and I figured it out. All you hipsters out there following the latest cutting edge fashion are really dressed like pappa smurf. Cool!!!!

Hipsters are dressed like Pappa Smurf — "a hipster"

Tight pants – Check
Big Beard – Check
Beanie – Check

So now if the Pappa smurf look is in you have to go and find a date with a girl that dresses like Smurfette.
Actually come to think of it that would be like dating a midget Avatar in pokerdots. Nice, I think Im a little turned on right now.

I always wanted to grow a beard when I was young to impress the babes, but unfortunately my 17 year old beard would always look like storm clouds in a white sky or a milo face as I was once called. It just didn’t cut it. So if you’re too young to grow a pappa beard heres a cool idea that may help you. MAybe get nanna to make one for you or something. Awesome!!

Oh and heres a few beards that may not work. A trim or perhaps a complete shave.

Is that a beard or was he eating a Chihuahua?!??
That reminds me, Im hungry!
Thats all this week for Mikes Fashion Weak.

Coming Soon

Yes thats me behind the guy in the middles armpit. Ever since my starring role in BMX bandits with Nicole Kidman at age 10 I dreamed of making my own film and now that dream is a reality. Other than the fact I was really an armpit EXTRA in BMX bandits, to me I was the star. Why, I hear you bunny hop? Well, I’ll tell you why. Because in my little 8 year old head, burning along Freshwater beach on my blue Mongoose 360 BMX, I had an awesome secret weapon in the shape of my racoon skin hat fresh from Frontier land in Disneyland. It made me feel like the star and stand out from the gaggle of BMX grommets chucking flower bombs everywhere. Yes, I stood out because I broke the law and didnt wear a stack hat. I risked my life for fame and to me It really didn’t matter. I just wanted to do awesome shit in a movie and for my mates to think it was freakin cool. Script meeting
So this movie Im making now is something different to the usual thing you may see at Event cinemas on a saturday night with your willy poking up through the popcorn box to scare your friends. Our movie is a documentary/mockumentary that sends you into outer space, reels you back in and then drops you back off a cliff. A movie that will draw you in and confuse you as to what is real and what is not. We have some amazing people working with us and it wil be a real challenge for me not just as an actor but in so many other ways. Off camera I have to help write the script, get sponsors, locations, produce and get funding. On camera I have to get naked, lose weight, shave my head, shoot people (yes with a gun), fly to LA, shoot there (not people), cut my penis off and become paranoid and delusional. Ok, maybe Im not cutting my willy off. Some ex girlfriends out there may like to but. Everything else is all systems a go from Prescott Goldman Films new office on Mill Hill rd Bondi Junction.

Behind the scenes on a sports commercial — "beach babes scene 22"

I’m really proud of what we have written, produced and shot so far. The crew are really excited at the films prospects, its so exciting. Allow me to introduce you to the cast. Yasmin Kassim is my super hot leading lady who eventually gets tied up and shot. WHOOPS!! Should have said spoiler alert! Cameron Knight is my agent in the film, a great actor and super stand up comedienne. We have already shot scenes with Matt Sorum from Guns and Roses and Jessica Sutter from the Pussy Cat Dolls at the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe in Sydney that I hosted too. We’ve shot with bikini babes on the beach in Queensland as a part of a behind the scenes shoot for a TV commercial and we have done a naked voiceover scene at Cutting Edge Post in Brisbane. That wasn’t supposed to be like that but the air conditioning was busted and we just ran with it. >AWKWARD< In a couple of weeks we have scenes to shoot in LA and the big scene on a farm in the Hunter Valley. Today I meet with our psychiatrist working on the film so I can method act my way into becoming a paranoid delusional schizophrenic.Exciting times. For more info on the film or to get involved e mail me direct mike@mikegoldman.tv

The Great Crusade

Want to be a part of “The Great Crusade? What’s that? You say, religiously sanctioned military campaigns aren’t my thing and its not even the dark ages? Rack off Mike! Fair enough. If that were the case fine, but its not, so please allow me to explain. This is a crusade around New Zealand following the gods of rugby whom we call the Qantas Wallabies and no we aren’t doing it in clanky suits of armour, on horseback, eating off the land. We are doing it in style and luxury. Campervans ladies and gentlemen, luxurious, pimped out palaces on wheels. Taking in the best New Zealand has to offer, supporting the Qantas Wallabies everywhere they go and partying hard. This amazing experience is the brainchild of Glen Condie and his dream team at “Wonder“. Want to come? All you gotta do is up load a video to www.thegreatcrusade.com.au and show us just how far you would go to support the Qantas Wallabies. Im a judge and looking for originality people. So no boring videos about how you’ve never had a holiday or how you want to clean my car. Make me laugh, make me cry, sho us how big a fan you really are and you may just have yourself a spot on one of the coolest crusades in history.

ACA Heart’s BB

Yeah ok, click to watch watch the story here if you like, but if you want a behind the scenes story then read on.
Look at Pete on the far right, he looks so excited to be there, unlike myself who looks so inattentive.

They hated our guts during our 8 years of amazing Australian Television history and played a major part in having the show taken off the air and now ten years later they confess their love for Big Brother with a TV special? Interesting. Gretel Killeen didn’t want to do this ACA story because she thought it was too soon, Kyle and Jacqui O didn’t get asked, so as the only host that worked on the show for all 8 years I was the best way to kill two pigs with the one bird. (Hello Angry Birds Fans) It was kinda weird walking into Channel 9 studios at Willoughby in Sydney to find millionaire BB winner Trevor suited up at reception waiting for everyone to show up. He looks different, he’s shaved his dreadlocks, beefed up and still a barrrel of laughs. BB 01 doonah dancer Pete Timbs was there running around recording housemate interviews for what will probably be a womans day or TV week story in the coming months. He’s doing well with his pizza shop, I think its a Crust franchise or something. When all the housemates finally showed up we headed to a bar near the Channel 9 canteen where we were showered with a few drinks and a catch up. Immediately I thought, hello they’re going to get us really really pissed and make us talk about all the naughty things that happened behind the scenes, but this wasn’t the case. As you may have seen in the story, it was all quite positive, except for the Camilla incident. (gobble gobble)
During the ACA interview we talked up the production company, Endemol Southern Star and its amazing producers which was edited out, fantastic words of praise for Gretel Killeen binned, executive producer Peter Abbott’s attention to detail was also gone with that crazy time we had a nude friday night games with all Big Brother staff and housemates. Umm, ok I can’t back that up, I did suggest it once when our up late ratings looked like they were taking a slide. Hey, everything is a good idea in a brainstorm! I digress. After the interview most of the housemates went to a place called “The Blues bar”, on York st the city, which is an amazing place for dinner and cocktails and then the Ivy for a few beers. We got some strange looks when we were out on the town, one person asked me for an autograph. Unfortunately it was because she thought I was Manu from My Kitchen Rules. I LOOK NOTHING LIKE HIM!! Shock horror we got no free drinks while we were out either. Yeah, that ride finished years ago.
At one point we all looked around and wondered where BB03 winner Reggie was. Then I realized I had a missed call from her on my phone so I called her back and she told me that because shes half blind and can hardly see anything in really low light the poor darling took a wrong turn and got lost between the dark depths of the Mornings With Kerri Anne and Today show sets. Isnt that where the old Hot Dogs Up Late set is? We had to get security to release the hounds and luckily they found her. Back to the Ivy and the loudness continued till about 2am when we split for Camilla’s hotel room. Nobody got hurt, nothing was broken, but there was nothing left in her bar fridge after our visit thats for sure. Great to catch up with everyone and I never thought I would ever be saying this but, “thanks A Current Affair for such an entertaining and positive story”, I knew you guys were fans all along.

THE MACHINES ARE TAKING OVER!!!!

The first time I saw one of these was in L.A, it was being operated by a beardo in a trenchcoat hanging out in the park near where I was staying. (beardo=weirdo with a beard)
Its a remote controlled Quadrocopter otherwise known as a an AR DRONE and it will definitely give you a brainspin. These things are so amazing, they’re scary. Next thing you know there will be speakers and guns attached to them and they will be flying around patrolling the streets of Sydney like in Robocop or Terminator Rise Of The Machines. Heres the official video from the makers having a play outside with some dopey soccer players to show if they can do it anyone can.

I had a go at flying one around my lounge room. As Im uploading these videos my chopper is rooted because I flew it into the wall one too many time. So dont fly it inside if you get one. I stuffed it and burnt my cash. Boooooo!!
