Unfortunately, Kylie Minogue is no different; she was coerced into doing one at the Brit awards. What happened?A diplomatic incident is what happened. Global icon Kylie was at the Brits to receive the global icon award on Sunday when host Roman Kemp crouched at her table and asked if she would do a shoey – or drink from a shoe, which has been described by the New York Times as “Australia’s Grossest…

The Green Lantern Corps is already taking shape. A member of the team has already been cast, with Nathan Fillion set to play the hot-headed Guy Gardner in "Superman: Legacy"." Furthermore, James Gunn's roster hints that an adaptation of the classic "Justice League International" might be…

When my 2015 debut novel Eileen made it on to the shortlist for the Man Booker prize, I knew I was in trouble. Up until that point, I had skirted by the mainstream as a writer of experimental literary short fiction.
