"Super uncomfortable for everyone": Qantas plays R-rated movie for every passenger

Qantas has issued an apology after an R-rated movie was played for every passenger onboard a flight from Sydney to Tokyo. On Saturday, the flight was delayed by an hour due to problems with the in-flight entertainment system, which resulted in cabin crew only being able to play one film on everyone's individual screens. After requests were taken by passengers, the movie Daddio was chosen. The 2023 drama stars Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson as a taxi driver and his passenger as they discuss their relationships, including an affair Johnson’s character had with a married man. One passenger took to Reddit to share their experience of the flight, saying it was "extremely inappropriate", due to scenes of “graphic nudity and a lot of sexting”. “The kind where you could literally read the texts on screen without needing headphones,” the passenger wrote. “It was super uncomfortable for everyone, especially with families and kids on board.” Another passenger said the airline made the switch to Inside Out 2 followed by a New Zealand nature show after playing “40 minutes of penis and boobs”. “These poor kids and the parents because y’all should’ve heard the audible gasps across the plane,” the passenger said. Cabin crew members attempted to fix the screens of those who didn't want to watch the R-rated film, but when this didn't work, resorted to switching the movie entirely. “The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight and we sincerely apologise to customers for this experience,” a Qantas spokesperson stated. “All screens were changed to a family-friendly movie for the rest of the flight, which is our standard practice for the rare cases where individual movie selection isn’t possible." “We are reviewing how the movie was selected.” Image credits: Shutterstock

David Byrne believes Spotify is making musicians “uncomfortable”

David Byrne has spoken out against Spotify, saying the platform is making artists feel “uncomfortable”. The former Talking Heads performer, who removed most of his music catalogue from the streaming service in 2013, claims the publishing of “questionable or controversial content” and “misinformation” is making musicians look for other ways to showcase their music. He said, "There’s been all these things about platforms having … let’s say questionable or controversial content [and] putting out misinformation or outright lies or … not exactly hate speech, but things that are making a lot of artists uncomfortable.” “And it’s pretty tough to do anything to help ameliorate that unless you’re a Drake or Taylor Swift, or those kinds of artists. It’s pretty hard for the rest of us to have influence." He told The Guardian newspaper, "A handful of mega, mega artists are doing really well, and many of the others – especially emerging artists – are having a tough time with it. There was definitely a period where I thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be tough for a lot of artists’, especially with Spotify’s ‘freemium’ layer.” Byrne went on to cite when Taylor Swift withheld one of her albums from Apple Music over their decision to not pay artists, and noted that only a "handful" of stars are "doing really well" out of putting the music on Spotify, which is thought to pay artists an average of $0.004 per stream. He said, “I watched as Taylor Swift went to Apple and said, ‘You can’t do this; you can’t have a freemium layer that will last forever.’ And she – I mean, bless her heart – she managed to get them to [change their policy]. Which I think was brave for her and good for a lot of the rest of us." Byrne’s comments come after several artists, including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, decided to pull their music from Spotify due to the platform continuing to post controversial material from podcaster Joe Rogan.

“I'd be uncomfortable”: Police closing in on missing campers suspect

The families of campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay - who went missing 19 months ago - have spoken publicly for the first time, sharing their desperation for answers. Mr Hill, 74, and Ms Clay, 73, were last seen on March 20 last year while on a camping trip in a remote area of East Gippsland, Victoria. Mr Hill left his home in West Gippsland the day prior, collecting Ms Clay from her Pakenham home before they travelled to Wonnangatta Valley in his white Toyota LandCruiser. Mr Hill didn’t tell his wife that he was with Ms Clay, and was last heard from on November 20 via HF radio, stating he was at Wonnangatta Valley in the Victorian Alps. Ms Clay told friends she was going away and was expecting to return on March 28 or 29. Police believe a third party was involved in their disappearance and launched a renewed appeal for information as they narrow down their search. <img style="width: 500px; height:281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7844954/clay-russell.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/bf837acd1b0b4b11b68e2686ca14e3da" /> Image: Victoria Police However, Mr Hill’s daughters say they believe he is no longer alive. “I don’t really believe he could be alive. He wouldn’t hide,” his daughter Debbie <a href="https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/news/family-of-missing-wonnangatta-campers-russell-hill-carol-clay-break-silence-as-police-close-in-on-what-happened/news-story/22eea65cb86ed84a6b45351551321438">said</a>. “It’s really hard. It’s not getting any better. It’s not knowing … you’re just stuck.” “There’s nothing to go by,” Colleen said. Ms Clay’s sister Jill said she believes something went wrong, and has a message for whoever was responsible. “I immediately knew there was something horribly wrong,” she said. “My message is that you’re undertaken a heinous act. You’ve got to live with that for the rest of your life. “We need closure. We need to know what happened and we need to know where their bodies are so we can put them to rest.” Robyn, Mr Hill’s wife, also said she feared the worst while speaking to NCA NewsWire in May. “I won’t ever see him again,” she said. “I can’t see how they will come home. He hasn’t spent any money, he hasn’t done anything. I just want them found, one way or the other.” Mr Hill’s vehicle was found by fellow campers the day after he last made contact. The vehicle showed signs of minor fire damage, and was found next to their completely burnt-out campsite. <img style="width: 500px; height:281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7844956/clay-russell2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/7607cfa3c5694886ad75b0a4dd2b96cb" /> Mr Russell and Ms Clay’s campsite. Image: ABC Since then, police have extensively searched the area, with members of the local police, Missing Persons Squad detectives, search and rescue squad, air wing, dog squad, and Australian Federal Police assisting. Police later moved the search 80km northwest in April, but the search stopped after detectives found two shovels in thick bush off the Great Alpine Road. However, police have not been able to link the shovels to the pair’s disappearance. Detective Inspector Andrew Stamper is confident the investigation’s twists and turns are leading police to a suspect. “I’d be uncomfortable,” Stamper told 7 News, in a big hint that police are close to a breakthrough. “Every day takes us further from the last time Russell and Carol were last seen alive, however I want to reassure the community that we are far from giving up. “Both families are also still desperate for answers about what happened to Russell and Carol and why, and I know our investigators are doing all they can to try and get those answers for them." To aid in their investigation, police are calling for anyone in the Wonnangatta area around March 20 to get in contact regardless of whether they say or heard anything. Detectives also wish to speak to anyone in the area around Howitt Plains and Zeka Spur Track on March 19 and 20, as well as anyone in Wonnangatta Valley and Wonnangatta Station between March 20-24. Anyone who sees Mr Hill or Ms Clay are urged to call triple-zero, while anyone with other information relating to their disappearance should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Awkward Ellen’s uncomfortable Oprah Winfrey interview

Following the announcement that <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/ellen-sensationally-quits">Ellen DeGeneres will quit her talk show</a> after 18 months of scandal, a question from Oprah Winfrey left her speechless. Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres show, Oprah mostly avoided bombshell questions, instead asking questions like “How are you actually feeling? How are you really feeling?” of her friend of over 25 years. Winfrey also ignored the many allegations of bullying, misconduct, and a toxic workplace environment that have plagued The Ellen Show recently. It wasn’t until Oprah brought up one topic that the very real differences between the two stars was revealed. Ellen appeared visibly uncomfortable as Oprah spoke about the guilt she felt finishing The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011 after 25 seasons and the knowledge that the decision would affect the huge team of employees that had “built their financial life” on the show continuing. “When you have a large staff as you do, as I did, that staff becomes your family. These are your tribe; these are your people. You would not be who you are without those people doing the work that a lot of people don’t recognise is going on behind the scenes,” Oprah said. “You often don’t think, as I often didn’t think, when you’re looking at people: Car insurance, mortgages, college educations being paid … for everybody on that staff, they have built their financial life, their family life, based on this show,” she continued. “For me that was hard too.” Ellen couldn’t hide her discomfort by that point, looking off camera and fidgeting with her hands. Staying silent, Oprah moved the conversation along and the show soon went to a commercial break. <img style="width: 500px; height:281.53846153846155px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7841216/ellen.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/6d1acee106b24fc5869c4b2c48707b0a" /> At another point in the interview, Oprah told her friend she expected she would “miss the camaraderie of the audience” once The Ellen Show wraps up next year, and asked Ellen what it had been like telling the crew. “It was hard,” Ellen said. “There were tears … It was really hard.” “I DO love everyone here, we DO have a relationship … I wanted to give them a year to celebrate with me and stay with me.” But just hours after Ellen’s announcement, former producer Hedda Muskat slammed the host in an <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/she-was-not-holding-back-former-ellen-producer-s-parting-shot">explosive interview with Sunrise</a>. Muskat was one of the first producers hired during the show’s debut season and claimed viewers had finally “woken up” to Ellen’s true nature. “The viewers have spoken. Her ratings have been in the toilet for a long time now. Her show has not been fun, it has not been interesting, and she’s not really ‘stepping down’ - the viewers fired her,” she said. When asked what she thought DeGeneres should do after her show comes to an end, Muskat said her former employer should “work on a farm with all of the animals and the pets and the dogs and the cows and the pigs because she can relate to animals far more than she does with people.” Image credits: YouTube

“He was proud”: George Michael’s sister rejects Elton John’s claim that Michael was “uncomfortable” being gay

George Michael’s sister has hit back at Sir Elton John’s claims that the late singer was uncomfortable with his sexuality. John made the comments to Sharon Osbourne on her US TV show The Talk, according to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/10208853/elton-john-george-michael-died-gay/">The Sun</a>. “He couldn’t get it, George. And he resented the fact I had hinted that maybe he change his life a little bit and he’d be happier if he tried something else. “The person has actually got to want it. It’s like me in the end. I really wanted it. “I had two alternatives: one to die, and one to live, and I wanted to live,” John said. John also said that Michael was “so uncomfortable in his skin about being gay even though he said he wasn’t.” Michael’s sister Melanie Panayiotou said that George was “my ‘very proud to be gay’ brother, contrary to what you may have read recently”. Michael’s sister is referencing some of Michael’s most famous solo work, as it was speaking about his sexuality. He later said in an <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/dec/26/george-michael-lgbt-rights-i-never-had-a-problem-with-being-gay">interview</a> that he never had a “moral problem” being gay. “I never had a moral problem with being gay. “I thought I had fallen in love with a woman a couple of times. Then I fell in love with a man, and realised that none of those things had been love.”

“I was uncomfortable”: Zara Tindall explains her strange demeanour at Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s wedding

Over tens of millions tuned in around the world to watch the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19, 2019. However, there is one royal who said she felt “uncomfortable” while sitting on the sidelines watching her cousin wed. Photos of Zara Tindall, the Queen’s eldest grandchild and Princess Anne’s daughter, painted her looking slightly uneasy during the special service at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle last year. Zara explained the obvious discomfort on her face while talking to <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/parenting/zara-tindall-going-back-work-8-weeks-has-made-better-happier/" target="_blank">The Daily Telegraph. </a> "I was uncomfortable! My bum sort of slid over either side [of the pew] and Lena kicked the hell out of me for an hour," she said of her youngest daughter who was born in June 2018. "It just wasn't comfy at all, and it probably showed on my face." Tindall said she found it particularly difficult to be at ease while during Bishop Michael Curry’s speech, which lasted a little over 13 minutes. "It was just the general amount of time everything was taking," she said. "I think my face was probably caught the point when I thought, 'Right he's going to finish now' and then he went off on another little story and it was like, "Really?'" The royal and her husband welcomed their second daughter a month after the royal wedding, on June 18. Their eldest daughter, Mia, is five and Lena is now 15 months old. The couple sadly suffered two miscarriages before successfully welcoming their second daughter to the world. Zara Phillips is an equestrian and has competed in the Olympics - going on to win silver in 2012. She and former footballer Mike Tindall married in 2011. At birth, Zara was sixth in line to the British throne and is now 18th.

Kate looks uncomfortable: Body language expert's verdict on Archie’s christening photo

Body language experts have weighed in on the two beautiful family photos taken at baby Archie’s christening and released by new parents, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. The verdict, however, has left fans and body language professionals gawking at the apparent awkwardness of the photograph. The portrait taken in Windsor Castle’s Green Drawing Room has left royal watchers admiring the new pictures of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with baby Archie who was christened on July 6 in a private ceremony. <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: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BzlHhZylvwT/" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</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/BzlHhZylvwT/" target="_blank">A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal)</a> on Jul 6, 2019 at 8:14am PDT </div> </blockquote> Experts and fans have said the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge appear as stiff and awkward in the new snap which is a great contrast to Prince Charles, 70, and his wife, Duchess Camilla, 71, who come off as relaxed and composed. Royal expert, Judi James told <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>: “Given all the rift rumours the rather ‘ready to flee’ tension in her pose could be seen as awkwardness.” <img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7828429/royal-family.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/431483bcad2a44368af029e20b297362" /> “But it could also show a desire to lower her own status signals and not upstage the happy couple. “With a very relaxed and jolly-looking Camilla down one end of this pose, Kate sits at the other looking oddly self-diminished and prim, with her arms pulled into her torso and a part-smile on her face.” Mum of three,Duchess Kate looked “ready to flee” according to Judi who was pictured sitting upright in her chair, with a tense smile. Further, the body language expert said Prince William was standing like a “nightclub bouncer.” “Kate doesn't have a real smile on her face. She looks pained,” one person took to Twitter to say. “William looks like he smelled something terrible. They don't look thrilled to be there.” Another wrote Duchess Kate “definitely had a forced smile.” The Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland were a few members or the small 30 guests present for baby Archie’s baptism, along with Princess Diana's sisters, LadyJane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale, who are pictured in the official photo.

“I feel uncomfortable”: Erin Molan’s plea to Darryl Brohman about inappropriate comments made on air

2GB co-host Darryl Brohman is in hot water after his comments to his former The Footy Show co-host Erin Molan on the weekend. Molan was appearing on 2GB’s Continuous Call show on Saturday when Brohman pointed out that Molan had been “adjusting herself”. “Can you wear a bra next time you come in?” Darryl said. “She's been adjusting herself for 20 minutes. Can you do something about that?” Molan dismissed the comments as they were live on air and explained that she has a child at home and doesn’t have a lot of time. “I have a child, I don’t have time to get ready,” Molan snapped back, which led another male radio host to jump in saying that Molan “didn’t have to explain herself.” Despite Molan and Brohman joking about it, it seems like Brohman couldn’t let the subject go. Throughout the segment, Molan voiced her discomfort by saying “I feel uncomfortable”, to which Brohman replied: “Well, go and put on a bra and you’ll feel better!” The segment ended with Brohman being told to put on a bra himself and the three hosts laughed together. <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: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BvlQYaaFzNV/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading&utm_campaign=embed_locale_test" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <a style="color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BvlQYaaFzNV/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading&utm_campaign=embed_locale_test" target="_blank">Fancy seeing ye’all here... 🙌😘😘😍 @riddell009 @lucasthetics @therealbigmarn @nrlonnine @2gb873 @wwos</a> <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 post shared by <a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/erin_molan/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading&utm_campaign=embed_locale_test" target="_blank"> Erin Molan</a> (@erin_molan) on Mar 28, 2019 at 11:26pm PDT </div> </blockquote> However, the Studio 10 panelists aren’t pleased with the exchange. Narelda Jacobs, after listening to the audio said that it was “disgraceful”. “Does Erin sit there and tell Darryl to stop adjusting his nuts?” she explained with annoyance. “I think it is absolutely terrible because it means he is looking at her boobs. They are on radio as well, so now everyone has painted a picture in their minds.” However, Joe Hildebrand disagreed. “It seemed awkward, but it was one of those things where everyone is still having a good time,” he said. Angela Bishop, entertainment reporter, agreed with Jacobs. “It's a blokey environment and Erin has forged this great female presence within that show,” she said. “[When I heard it] I just went, 'Really? Really?" What do you think of Darryl Brohman's inappropriate comments to Erin Molan on live radio? Let us know in the comment section.
