Lingerie Football League All-Star Games Tour; Sydney, Australia

Tonight the American born Lingerie Football League enjoyed its virgin game on Australian soil.

All Phones Arena was blessed with the privilege of staging the first game in Australia.

What was on offer? - tits and ass of course, and a good spread of athletic talent. We really enjoyed the girls individual celebrations after they scored the all important touchdowns, made even more visually titillating with spray tan thanks to the all important sponsor - Mobile Spray Tanning.

If your into NRL you might be into this, and if your into pro wrestling aka sports entertainment, you will probably have a strong appreciation of this unusual, titillating and exciting sport that seems to be perfect for a good number of Australian alpha males.

Well done players and promoters for putting on a heck of a show. Looks like this special brand of footy has already developed more than just a grass roots fan base down under in Australia.

The 2012 LFL All-Star Game will feature 32 of the most athletic and beautiful women across the league as the Western and Eastern Conference teams clash in front of projected capacity crowds in Sydney and Brisbane, two cities that the LFL has identified as being potential homes for two of the franchises in 2013. Expect these games to be as explosive, combative and competitive as all the LFL games are as each player strives to impress for selection into the teams in 2013.

LFL Football, described at the 'ultimate live sports experience', has developed one of its largest international fan bases in Australia having developed a cult-like following on Australian broadcaster Fuel TV since the league’s inception in 2009. As much success as the LFL has enjoyed in the US, internationally the appetite for LFL Football has been even greater being broadcast in nearly 43 countries and drawing near capacity crowds in previous international game play in Mexico and Canada. The appeal internationally has been strong enough for the LFL to announce the formation and kick-off of several international leagues to include LFL Canada (Fall 2012), LFL Australia (Summer 2013) and LFL Europa (2014).

Newsflash: Federal Minister for Sport Kate Lundy Is Not A Fan!...

Federal Minister for Sport Kate Lundy: "Stop the Lingerie Football League in Australia. Our daughters deserve more. The LFL is about giving viewers an opportunity to perve on women in gear that looks like it's come from an adult shop. It's called the Lingerie Football League because it's almost exclusively about the underwear."

Women of the match?

Chloe Butler and Liz Gorman seemed to get over pretty well with the Sydney fan base. Not bad looking for football players, and multi talented for certain.

Beastie Boy Adam "MCA" Yauch tribute at MCA Sydney, Australia

The late Beastie Boy Adam "MCA" Yauch was a multi-talented rapper, producer and humanitarian who enjoyed a strong following the world over.

Last week Sydney based fans Dan White and James Beswick remembered MCA in a touching and creative tribute at the Sydney MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), and MCA and music fans will be delighted to learn that the tribute was captured on both video and camera, and has become quite the viral hit over the internet (which no doubt would have pleased MCA).

Kym Staton from the Human Statue Bodyart agency was made up to be MCA and sent heads turning in and around the famous Sydney Museum.

You can see the amazing tribute video here https://vimeo.com/43588064

The tribute sign at the Sydney MCA reads...

MCA tribute at the MCA, 2012

(Human Instillation)

A silent tribute in honour of Beastie Boy Adam "MCA" Yauch, who recently passed away after a battle with cancer.

Performed in aid of The Cancer Council.

Yauch was one of the most seminal artists of the last 25 years, helping shape and evolve hip-hop and rock scenes alike. His lyrically anarchy knew no bounds, "spitting" rhymes that were both progressive and philosophical, and thus it was sadly ironic that his death should come due to cancer of the salivary gland.

We salute him in silence, as no amount of intimidation could replicate his genius. He'll truly be missed.

R.I.P. MCA.

Please give generously to The Cancer Council via the Facebook page. Thank you.

Captain Cook sails into Darling Harbour to track the Transit of Venus

Madame Tussauds Sydney enjoyed having Captain Cook get waxed at Sydney's Madame Tussauds in Darling Harbour early this morning.

Captain Cook is one of many Australian icons to be announced as attractions to appear in the museum, which will eventually feature more than 70 wax figures.

He joins a large contingent of Australian sportspeople, politicians and stars in the $14 million tourist attraction.

Merlin Entertainment Australia director Edward Fuller isn't revealing which other Australian stars have been selected for the local exhibition, but he has said extensive research has been done to ensure the right mix of the famous and infamous.

"The key thing is that there will be a really strong line-up of local stars," Mr Fuller said.

A team of artists is working furiously to have the sculptures ready in time for the opening. Each wax model requires about 20 artists, from sculptors to painters, and can take up to six months to complete.

"The hair is all individually inserted into the head," Mr Fuller said, adding that capturing the "character and atmosphere" of the subject was the artists' goal.

To assist in this, many of the celebrities immortalised by Madam Tussauds' artists donate their own clothes to help create a sense of authenticity.

"That's the icing on the cake," Mr Fuller said.

"Not only can you get up close and personal to your favourite star but they're actually wearing the clothes they might have turned up to the Oscars in."

The Transit of Venus – when the planet Venus transits across the face of the sun – is a very rare occurrence that Captain James Cook tracked from Tahiti in 1769, leading him to eventually map the whole East coast of Australia.

Since the phenomena was first recognized, there have only been six transits of Venus with the most recent one occurring in 2004 and the one following June 6th 2012 to occur on 11th December 2117.

WHAT: Relive the adventure with Captain James Cook who is returning to Sydney Harbour in a Red
Rocket for another viewing of the Transit of Venus, and the last for 105 years.
