From her early breakout opposite Heath Ledger in Two Hands — a gritty, electrifying piece of Aussie cinema that first put her on the map — to becoming one of the most respected actors working today, Rose Byrne has forged a career built on versatility, depth, and fearless choices.

This awards season marked a monumental milestone: Rose won her first ever Golden Globe at the 2026 ceremony, taking home Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her extraordinary performance in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. The film — both critically acclaimed and emotionally raw — saw Byrne deliver a stunning, layered turn that captured hearts and headlines alike.

Onstage, she thanked writer‑director Mary Bronstein, her family (including her brother who joined her at the awards), and even gave a humorous shout‑out to her partner Bobby Cannavale — who couldn’t attend because he was at a bearded dragon expo in New Jersey picking up their new pet.

From indie Aussie roots to global acclaim and now a Golden Globe winner, Rose Byrne’s journey is a testament to her enduring talent and the joy she brings to every role she embraces. 🏆✨

Happy birthday to Wayne Coyne – born January 13, 1961! That makes him 65 years old today.

Wayne Coyne, is the visionary frontman of the Flaming Lips, a band that has pushed the boundaries of psychedelic rock for decades. As lead vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, bassist, theremin player, and principal songwriter, Coyne has transformed the Flaming Lips into a surreal, genre-defying force.

The band’s 1999 masterpiece The Soft Bulletin earned NME’s Album of the Year, cementing their place in modern rock history. Over the years, they’ve collected three Grammy Awards and inspired countless artists with their daring, otherworldly performances.

Coyne’s commitment to spectacle and community shone during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Flaming Lips staged a concert in Oklahoma City on October 12, 2020—entirely inside inflatable human-sized bubbles, with audience members similarly protected. It was a moment that perfectly captured Coyne’s blend of creativity, whimsy, and resilience.

From cosmic stage shows to landmark albums, Wayne Coyne remains a singular figure in music, forever challenging what a rock band can be.

We sat down with Enmore based indie pop artist Gena Stone to talk debut her debut EP, isolation, collaboration and letting songs evolve over time ✨

“I just released my debut EP Screaming Loving. A lot of the songs were written in isolation, and then I took them to my band and collaborators. Listening back now, it’s really nice to reflect on that.”

Over a glass of natural Rosnay Pét Nat Rosé 🍓🍑 the conversation turned to contrast, emotion and why the title says it all.

“A lot of life makes you want to scream. A lot of it makes you want to love.”
