Kim Kardashian proved that, yes, she can really balance a Champagne glass on her butt like she did for her now-infamous Paper magazine photo shoot, and she's willing to share her secrets with the world. The reality star made an appearance on Australia's The Project on Tuesday to open up about her Internet-breaking stunt with photographer Jean-Paul Goude. After host Rove McManus asked Kim if the Champagne butt shot was photoshop, she clarified that it was indeed real and that her "back hurt for a week after the shoot" due to the intense pose. "It was definitely not comfortable, and things were falling all over the place," she added. Kim then agreed to show Rove, although she added that it might not work because he doesn't have "as big of a butt as I do." Watch the hilarious balancing act above and hear more from Kim about why she did the shoot.

Rove lends voice to Exchange Student Zero
Rove McManus is the lead voice actor on a new animation series – the first local production commissioned by the Cartoon Network.

Carrie Bickmore has revealed that she still cannot believe that she has been nominated for a Gold Logie award. The Australian television presenter, who fronts The Project alongside Dave Hughes and Charlie Pickering, admitted that it feels "surreal" to receive a nod for the prestigious prize because she never thought she would be considered. Bickmore told the Sunday Herald Sun: "I used to sit next to [former colleague] Rove [McManus] and he would get up and get the Gold and I used to think that was such an honour. I never thought I'd ever get a nomination, so I'm just enjoying it." Other nominees for the Gold Logie include comedian Hamish Blake, breakfast TV presenter Karl Stefanovic, Spicks and Specks host Adam Hills, actress Asher Keddie and Home and Away's Esther Anderson.

Hills told the Herald Sun: "She walked backstage and said, 'We haven't seen each other since that flight', and I said, 'I'm so sorry, I turned that into stand-up'. She said, 'Yes I know. You did it at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and on Rove as well'. Nothing gets past her." The star is currently touring the country with the Spicks and Speck-tacular tour alongside co-stars Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough and said that he is having a great time.

Kyle Sandilands has publicly slammed Rove McManus. The Australian radio and television personality, who used to be married to singer Tamara Jaber, revealed that his feud with TV presenter McManus was ignited when McManus mocked Jaber's music career. Sandilands said: "I'll tell you what happened... we used to go on Rove's show and like everyone else I thought he was nice. And when Tamara brought those songs out a few years ago and the newspapers started caning her and lying, saying I was the only person playing it... Rove jumped on the bandwagon and started to have a go. "So when he started sinking the boot in, I started hating him and then when Rove's wife [Belinda Emmett] passed away, he and I met up again and he said, 'I'm sorry, I understand, I shouldn't have gone there with the Tamara situation'. "Then two (more)...

This week! Is it okay to ask a straight guy, “Who would you go gay for?” How “real” is The Fabulous Beekman Boys? What’s up with the gay blood ban? How do you talk to conservatives about same-sex marriage?
Q: Here Down Under, we had a great TV personality Rove McManus who frequently asked the question “Who would you turn gay for?” to the celebrities like Matt Damon, Hugh Jackman, Will Smith, and Anne Hathaway. But something didn’t quite sit 100% right about it with me. Is this type of question a further extension of the whole “bromance” phenomenon? Doesn’t this demean and trivialize the issue of gay identity? So I’m putting it to you O Great Winged One: how do you feel about the question? -- Papermoon a.k.a. Ste, Melbourne, Australia

Romantic comedies make money. Lots of it. So why isn’t Australia making more? Miguel Gonzalez spoke with the creators of I Love You Too, a comedy that will help fill that gap in the film market.
I Love You Too is comedian Peter Helliar’s big screen debut, produced by Princess Pictures’ Laura Waters (We Can Be Heroes, Summer Heights High) and Yael Bergman (Love and Other Catastrophes).
Helliar had worked with Waters in the pilot episode for Rove in 1999 and kept in touch with the producer.
Knowing he had a number of ideas for features, in 2002 Waters asked Helliar to choose one and start working on it. Due to other commitments, it took a while before that idea became a treatment and, finally, a film script.
According to Waters, the message that drove Helliar to write the story and guided every draft was “tell people that you love them”, and from that premise,...

Zac Efron's fans are not merely teen or young people, but also mothers and grandmothers. Stopping by Australian Logie award-winning talk show "Rove" during a promotional tour for his latest flick "17 Again," the heartthrob opens up about how it feels being admired by people of a much older generation.
"The moms get absolutely crazy. That's the funniest part," Zac tells talk show host Rove McManus. "Inevitably if someone is grabbing you too hard, or won't let go, it's not a young fan. It's a mom or grandma!"
Wearing a blue t-shirt matched with jeans and a pair of white sneakers, Zac Efron is all smile during the taping of the show. Beside talking about his big screen flick, the 21-year-old actor also addresses on him attending the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22 and him being snapped visiting sex stores with on-and-off-screen girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens.

In real life, straight men don’t kiss each other all that often — not counting a certain game of Truth or Dare I participated in back in college.
But in movies and on TV? Straight men seem to kiss each other fairly often. Thing is, it’s rarely for romantic reasons.
So why do they kiss, if not for romance? Interestingly, they seem to find almost every reason under the sun - some good, some bad and some just plain weird. Here are 12 of them graded by adding a score for sexiness plus a score for freshness minus a score for gay panic equaling an AfterElton.com Hot Kiss Rating.
Christopher Meloni/Lee Tergesen GLAAD Awards Kiss
Actors Christopher Meloni and Lee Tergesen gave the audience exactly what it wanted at the 2000 GLAAD Media Awards, kissing each other the way their Oz characters, boyfriends Chris Keller and Tobias Beecher, might have kissed.
