ODDBALL IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY AND WAS SHOT IN WARRNAMBOOL, WHERE ALL THE REAL LIFE ACTION HAPPENED. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE? It was so beautiful, a little cold, but still really beautiful. In Warrnambool they’ve got the 12 Apostles, they’ve got Middle Island, they’ve got an amazing coastline so the scenic shots in the movie are just AMAZING. It’s such a small town and right outside my resort was a skatepark, so I’d go ride my scooter in the morning, have some fun in the skatepark and ride down to the beaches to set! WHAT ARE SOME SIMILARITIES BETWEEN YOU AND OLIVIA? We are both trailblazers, so kind of cool and not too girly. I’ve got a really big passion for animals and so does Olivia of course…

PEYTON LIST “Her shoes are a random purple, the jacket looks like she stole it from a groom’s shop, and the top is a bikini gone wrong.” – Brodie “This outfit is a disaster! The exposed mid section isn’t necessary, nor is the terrible boob tube and oversized jacket.” – Bec ARIEL WINTER “I don’t like the colour mixture of the outfit – it looks like something I would wear to the beach.” – Brooke “Ariel’s take on fashion’s coolest clash – lavender and orange – are perfectly offset by her on point makeup and hair. But here, her shoes and clutch don’t quite make the cut.” – Brodie SOFIA CARSON “This one is definitely my fave! It’s a sophisticated yet fun look. The little black dress is always a…

Ever heard of the saying ‘There’s a party in my mouth and everyone’s invited’? We’re pretty sure that whoever invented this expression said it with a mouthful of party popcorn. This is the ultimate snack and brings all the goods: popcorn, nuts, chocolate (check, check and double-check). We guarantee our recipe will put you at the top of every guest list. YOU WILL NEED: • 1 block white chocolate • 1 block milk chocolate • 1 bag caramel popcorn • 1/2 cup cashews, salted • 1 cup mini marshmallows WHAT TO DO: 1 Begin by melting the chocolate in the microwave. Keep the blocks in separate bowls so the white chocolate doesn’t mix with the milk chocolate just yet. 2 While the chocolate is melting, cover a tray with baking…

Dear Magdalena, I feel like all my friends know what they want to be when they grow up and I have no clue what I want to do! How do I decide what I want to do? Please help! Tina MAGDALENA SAYS: Some people never really find out what they want to do but change their careers a few times over many years, which is totally fine. The most important thing you can do is find out what you like and what your passions are. Find out what you like doing and try following that direction for a while… I started my career in fashion, then I did my first degree in journalism and went back to university years later to study atmospheric science (weather)! None of these have been…

Just off the Queensland coast, the Whitsunday Islands are one of the world’s most spectacular aquatic playgrounds. The Whitsundays encompasses 74 tropical islands. The islands are bordered by the mountains of the Conway National Park on one side, the famous Great Barrier Reef on the other and surrounded by the waters of the Coral Sea. I recently had the pleasure of visiting the gorgeous Whitsundays and it was more amazing than I had imagined. I flew into Hamilton Island and then boarded a Cruise Whitsundays vessel to my first destination – Daydream Island. All of the Cruise Whitsundays crew were extremely friendly and shared lots of information about the area and the different islands that we passed along the way. DAYDREAM ISLAND RESORT AND SPA I was greeted with a…

SLIGHTLY CRINGEWORTHY PRETTY BLUSHWORTHY MEGA EMBARRASSING SNOW SITCH I was at the snow one weekend and my siblings and I were just mucking about, chasing each other around and throwing snowballs. I was running away from my brother and not really looking where I was going when I ran straight into the snowman someone was building! I fell flat on my back and I was stuck there until my brother helped me up. It was so embarrassing! What made it even worse was that I had completely destroyed the snowman I had run into. ALEISHA BATHROOM BLUNDER I was at a festival and had to go to the bathroom. They were portaloos, and mine must have had a faulty lock, because somebody opened the door while I was in there!…

You’ve been on the YouTube scene for a while, what made you decide to upload videos on YouTube? I’ve actually made videos since I was 11 or 12, so it was always just kind of in me. When I was in high school, I discovered what YouTube was and started uploading back then. So I actually have been doing it for a really long time. It’s always just been around; there wasn’t anything that really inspired me, it just kind of happened. Tell us a bit about your new single. It’s a pop song. It’s called “Set Fire to the Stars” and it’s a really fun, upbeat song. It’s something that you’d hear on the radio and turn up and dance to. Has singing always been something that you’ve been…

JOEL LOK (ANDY) MOST OF THE MAIN CAST ARE BOYS. ARE THERE TONS OF PRANKS ON SET? Yeah, a whole lot. Nowhere Boys is definitely one of the craziest sets that I’ve worked on. The guys get pretty creative with their pranks, so there’s just banter and laughter all day long. CAN YOU SHARE ANY OF THE PRANKS WITH US? A lot of the pranks are just boys ripping into the crew members. We’ll go up to someone at the cameras, like on the lines of staring at them really awkwardly. Just annoying people all around really.

You don’t have to change yourself in order to be successful. Stay true to yourself, your passions and do what makes YOU and your soul happy. Tell us a bit about your character, Tara. Tara is very happy, energetic and full of love. What really drew me to her, though, was the darker scenes that she has in the film. I really wanted to challenge myself and connect with Tara on a deeper level. Tara is the younger sister of JJ, who is played by Aussie actor Jordan Rodrigues! What was it like working with Jordan? I…
