Today shakes things up for the weekend

<p>The Nine Network has revealed that Jayne Azzopardi and Clint Stanaway will be joining the dedicated team of<em> Weekend Today</em>, alongside news presenter Sophie Walsh.</p> <p>And in celebration of their new gig, the two spoke to <em>9Entertainment</em>, with Stanaway sharing the team’s excitement and desire to bring a fresh experience to the show, keeping viewers entertained and informed along the way. </p> <p>"We're good listeners,” he explained, “and I'm really excited to sort of showcase people's stories. There's no doubt, I think both of us, and including Sophie, we want to bring a relaxed sort of vibe to the show and have some fun, but as well as keeping people entertained, we know we have a responsibility to keep people informed as well."</p> <p>And as Azzopardi added, “during the week, everybody's so rushed, trying to get the kids off to school and get out the door to work. On the weekend everything happens at a little bit of a slower pace.</p> <p>"So you can have us on the TV while you're eating breakfast and having your coffee and there'll be interesting conversations, and also maybe helping you make sense of things that have happened during the week that you've heard about, but you haven't really had a chance to read a lot about it because it's too busy."</p> <p>Azzopardi went on to note that working with Clint has “just been so easy”, and that they know they have each other’s support, as well as being able to “trust each other to be able to do our jobs properly, and all actually really, really like each other.” </p> <p>"I'm a sports veteran, Jayne's all about politics, and I love Sophie's cheek and humour,” Stanaway noted of their team dynamic. </p> <p>"And we're all from different parts of the country. I'm unashamedly a Melbourne guy, Jayne's from the Sydney shire, and Sophie's a Queenslander at heart, and I love that about us. And I think that's really showcased on our show.”</p> <p>He added that they had also known each other for “a long time as colleagues”. </p> <p>The difference in their career history - Stanaway reporting on sports, Jayne covering finance and politics - is likely to be the backbone of their success for the breakfast TV programme, with its variety in coverage across the realms of news and current affairs, weather, politics, lifestyle, and entertainment. And as Stanaway put it, “Jayne's the sensible one. She started out in finance. Right there is the contrast between us.”</p> <p>But they won’t be the only ones contributing to their broadcasts, with Azzopardi making sure to recognise everyone behind the scenes too, noting that “we've got fantastic producers and they work so hard and keep us on our toes. They pull us up if we're talking for a bit too long and keep things running to time."</p> <p>Stanaway then took the opportunity to point out, “because when we get started we can be hard to shut up!"</p> <p><em>Images: Today / Nine </em></p>

JFK's agent speaks out on 55th anniversary of assassination: "I should have been faster"

<p>The secret service agent, who leapt to shield President John F Kennedy after he was shot, has spoken out about the unforgettable turn of events on the 55th anniversary of the assassination.</p> <p>Agent Clint Hill was the first to react, jumping out of a following car and jumping on the back of the presidential limousine, after former marine Lee Harvey Oswald pulled the trigger at President JFK three times.</p> <p>However, before Mr Hill could position himself as a human shield, a bullet pierced the President’s head.</p> <p>In an interview with <em><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/"><strong><u>The Sun</u></strong></a> </em>on the anniversary of the assassination, now 86-year-old Mr Hill said he will never be able to forget the day that changed history.</p> <p>“One thing that I’ve never been able to erase from my mind is being on the back of the car looking down at the president, who was lying with his face in Mrs Kennedy’s lap,” Mr Hill said. </p> <p>“The right side of his face is up and I can see that his eyes are fixed. There’s blood everywhere.</p> <p>“I can see the gunshot wound. In the room that’s in the skull I can see that there is no more brain matter left,” he said. </p> <p>“That is something I could never, and have never been able to, erase from my mind.”</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 405.6666666666667px; height: 500px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7822094/image_.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/2cdb89303572412e8d02e6d3b4fd492c" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Clint Hill</em></p> <p>“At the time I never thought ‘I might be killed’ or ‘I won’t see my kids again’,” Mr Hill said.</p> <p>“I didn’t think of that at all. That was the farthest thing from my mind. My goal was to get there to form a cover for them so no more damage could be done.”</p> <p>The former secret service agent also discussed the guilt he still feels today for not being fast enough.</p> <p> “I think I should have been faster,” he said. </p> <p>“My job was to protect them and I was unable to do that.</p> <p>“If I had been slightly faster I may have been able to prevent the president’s fatal wound and that has bothered me ever since. It always will - I’m sure.”</p> <p>Mr Hill also discussed the impact the assassination had on his personal life after suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.</p> <p>From 1976-1982, Mr Hill cut himself off from everyone in his life except for his wife and two children.</p> <p>"I self medicated with alcohol during that period of time,” Clint confessed. </p> <p>“I just didn’t care about anything and I didn’t want to have any contact with anybody.</p> <p>“Friends would come by and I wouldn’t even acknowledge that they were there.

The best piece of advice Clint Eastwood gave his son

<p>The success of actor and director Clint Eastwood is indisputable in Hollywood, with the 88-year-old collecting 5 Academy Awards during his multi-decade career.</p> <p>His son, Scott Eastwood, has also pursued acting but has tried to separate himself from his Dad’s success by starting a career under his mum’s maiden name Scott Clinton Reeves.</p> <p>In a recent interview, Scott revealed the best piece of advice his father has given him about dealing with fame.</p> <p>“Maybe [the best piece of advice I’ve been given in dealing with fame] is follow your instincts,” he told <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/scott-eastwood-best-piece-of-advice-clint-eastwood/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pedestrian TV.</span></strong></a></em></p> <p>“Probably listen,” he continued. </p> <p>“Shut up and listen. You just gotta go out and keep putting yourself out there, and try and audition for movies,” he said. “No one can help you in the audition room.”</p> <p>Last year, Scott confessed in an interview that the best thing his dad did for him was choosing not to help him with his acting career.</p> <p>Until six years ago, Scott was balancing a job as a bartender as he auditioned for various roles in Los Angeles. He also paid his own way through college.</p> <p>“It was probably the best thing dad could have done for me,” he told the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a rel="noopener" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/sunday-people" target="_blank">Sunday People</a></strong></em></span>.</p> <p>“He could have made it easy but I wouldn’t have learnt anything from that.</p> <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media"> <div style="padding: 8px;"> <div style="background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"> <div style="background: url(data:image/png; base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaacwaaaascamaaaapwqozaaaabgdbtueaalgpc/xhbqaaaafzukdcak7ohokaaaamuexurczmzpf399fx1+bm5mzy9amaaadisurbvdjlvzxbesmgces5/p8/t9furvcrmu73jwlzosgsiizurcjo/ad+eqjjb4hv8bft+idpqocx1wjosbfhh2xssxeiyn3uli/6mnree07uiwjev8ueowds88ly97kqytlijkktuybbruayvh5wohixmpi5we58ek028czwyuqdlkpg1bkb4nnm+veanfhqn1k4+gpt6ugqcvu2h2ovuif/gwufyy8owepdyzsa3avcqpvovvzzz2vtnn2wu8qzvjddeto90gsy9mvlqtgysy231mxry6i2ggqjrty0l8fxcxfcbbhwrsyyaaaaaelftksuqmcc); display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;"></div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Be3CIiBBkTz/" target="_blank">A post shared by Scott Eastwood (@scotteastwood)</a> on Feb 6, 2018 at 7:14am PST</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>“I would work all night, study my lines until three or four in the morning, fall asleep, then get up at 7am and drive to LA.</p> <p>“I would audition for parts and then drive back down to San Diego to work that night.”</p> <p>Scott, who is the son of Clint and his former flight attendant partner Jacelyn Reeves, knew his father was teaching him an important lesson about work ethic.</p> <p>“He grew up during the Depression and he had to work hard for everything, including his early years as an actor,” said Scott.</p> <p>“He believes you have to earn your way in life and I agree, although there were a lot of times when I would be angry with him because I knew he could have helped me out with money.</p> <p>“He made me pay my way through college.

Scott Eastwood: Making it in Hollywood was “tough”

<p>He’s the son of one of the most iconic actors in Hollywood history, but Scott Eastwood says he hasn’t relied on his lookalike dad, Clint, to find his feet in the film industry.</p> <p>Talking to <a href="https://au.be.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/a/39338428/scott-eastwoods-hollywood-success-not-down-to-dad-clint-eastwood/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Yahoo Be</span></strong></a> to promote his upcoming film, <em>Pacific Rim Rising</em>, Scott said his success is all down to his own hard work.</p> <p>“It’s hard,” he confessed. “Hollywood’s a tough place. There’s so many great actors out there and there’s so many talented people but it's a lot of a number’s game.</p> <p>“You’ve gotta just keep going on auditions. You’ve gotta keep going and keep trying and I did that for years and years. It’s tough. It can be discouraging.”</p> <p>Despite growing up surrounded by the film industry, Scott admitted he had no idea what to expect or how much work was really required to be in show business until he got into it himself.</p> <p>“Did I know anything about the industry really? Not until I started working in it. Not until I had to go and bartend and valet park cars and work construction while I auditioned for films. Then you know what hard work is to get into a film and try to be an actor.”</p>

Revealed: Behind-the-scenes footage of Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks on set of Sully

<p>Clint Eastwood’s new movie, <em>Sully</em>, brings to life the untold story of one of the most historical events in aviation history. Watch the two screen veterans on set of the movie that is to be released next week. The clip above includes teasers from the movie and a some on-set action.</p> <p>Starring Tom Hanks, the heart-pounding drama recounts the events of what is known as “the miracle on the Hudson”. On January 15, 2009, Captain “Sully” Sullenberger did the impossible. After assumed double engine failure, he successfully glided his aircraft onto the frosty surface of the Hudson river, saving the lives of all 155 souls on board.</p> <p>The heroic tale did not end there though. Even as Sully was praised by the public and the media for his incredible skills, an investigation unfolded that questioned if the risky landing was necessary at all, and threated the pilot’s entire career.</p> <p>Recalling his experience working with the legendary Eastwood, Tom Hanks said, “I don’t think anyone but Clint could make this movie. He’s a master film maker”.</p> <p>When the director was asked about the process of casting, he proudly responded, “Tom was one of the first people we thought about”.</p> <p>We think this one looks like a real winner.

Clint Eastwood slams the youth of today

The actor and model has appeared in many films directed by his father, including <em>Gran Torino</em> and <em>Invictus</em> as well as other films like 2014’s <em>Fury</em>.</p> <p><strong>Eva Amurri</strong></p> <p>Eva, 31, is the daughter of director Franco Amurri and Susan Sarandon. While she hasn’t had quite as much luck in films, Amurri has had a successful TV career since 2009, landing roles in TV shows including <em>Californication</em>, <em>House</em> and <em>The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe</em>.</p> <p><strong>Colin Hanks</strong></p> <p>Son of Tom Hanks and first wife Samantha Lewes, 38-year-old Colin has had a successful career in television. Known for roles in <em>Dexter</em> and <em>Fargo</em>, he has also appeared in the 2005 film <em>King Kong</em> and has tried his hand at documentary directing.</p> <p><strong>Dakota Johnson</strong></p> <p>The 26-year-old is the daughter of actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson and has definitely taken after the former couple in the talent department. After appearances in <em>The Social Network</em>, <em>21 Jump Street</em> and <em>Need for Speed</em>, her breakout role was in the 2015 film adaptation of <em>Fifty Shades of Grey</em>.</p> <p><strong>Jaden Smith</strong></p> <p>Both children of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are successes in their own right, but 17-year-old Jaden in particular has had a varied and at times unusual career. The actor, rapper and fashion designer has starred in films such as <em>The Pursuit of Happyness</em> and <em>The Karate Kid</em>.</p> <p><strong>Oona Chaplin</strong></p> <p>Granddaughter of the iconic Charlie Chaplin and daughter of <em>Doctor Zhivago</em> actress Geraldine Chaplin, 29-year-old Oona is continuing the family business with an acting career of her own. Best known for her role in <em>Game of Thrones</em>, she has also appeared in the BBC series <em>Sherlock</em>.</p> <p><strong>Patrick Schwarzenegger</strong></p> <p>Son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, Patrick was always destined for big things in the entertainment industry.
