Kyle Sandilands reveals mortifying first day on set of his new Hollywood film: 'I was humiliated'
The KIIS FM star, 53, jetted off to the Gold Coast to shoot scenes for his Hollywood debut in the campy action flick Zombie Plane.
Kyle revealed on Tuesday that his first foray in front of the camera appeared doomed before he even got off the plane.
He explained that he was 'humiliated' by Aussie actor Stephen Curry about his date of birth after calling it out on air.
'I was humiliated yesterday. You might remember me mentioning Stephen Curry's birthday. Stephen Curry is the actor from The Castle.'

Kyle went on to explain that Stephen was on the same flight to the Gold Coast on Monday night.
'I look over and there's Stephen Curry sitting opposite me. I said, "happy birthday, mate", and he said "hey?" I said, "isn't it your birthday?" and he said "No".'
Adding that Stephen was not forthcoming with his actual date of birth, Kyle added that he then chastised producer Bruno Boucher for giving him false information.
Bruno however defended himself saying all sources pointed to the actor's birthday being May 26.
Kyle, who will play a billionaire yacht owner in the film, then went off to costuming where he embarrassed himself in front of the actor again, as well as production staff.
'I've walked in and there's Stephen Curry looking like an anorexic Mr Magoo and I said, "it is your birthday", and he went, "it's not I don't know what to tell you", and then everyone looked at me.'
Kyle's set troubles didn't end there, with the radio star admitting he wasn't the biggest fan of his on screen attire.
'I said, "okay what am I wearing",' Kyle said.
'[They said] we've been on the boat with the real guy and the captain wears the same clothes as the other guys.'
This did not sit well with Kyle who said he felt like a particular reality TV show character.
'All of a sudden I'm Captain Sandy from Below Deck looking like every other b***ard,' he said.
'Bruno knew I was distressed. I'm not coming up here to play an employee.'
Bruno and newsreader Brooklyn Ross tried to soothe Kyle's ego saying the costume may be for comedic effect.
'So I've been brought in to be laughed at?' Kyle replied.
'Maybe I should just come home. I feel this whole thing is a disaster.'
The KIIS FM star revealed on his The Kyle & Jackie O show on Monday morning that he is making his movie debut alongside Chuck Norris for the actor's final-ever film.
Kyle also admitted that he was quite chuffed to be starring alongside his childhood hero and action veteran Chuck.
'Didn't you use to watch Chuck Norris growing up and want to be him?' Jackie 'O' Henderson asked her co-star, to which he replied 'Oh, 100 per cent yes.'
He then went on to explain the action packed plot of the upcoming flick.
'Prepare yourself. Zombie Plane. That's right. Zombie Plane,' Kyle said, revealing the film's title.
'Sydney to LA, a flight is taken over by zombies and an eclectic group of high-profile passengers led by celebrities turned secret agents must band together to fight to save humanity. Have you ever heard of a better plot ever?'
Jackie agreed, saying the film had 'Oscars written all over it'.
'I'm actually picking out my Oscars outfit now,' Kyle said in anticipation of his soon-to-be superstardom.
'Who's doing the soundtrack? Flo Rida. Hello. Everything's lined up for success here. I love it. We'll be going to Cannes, probably. We'll be going to all the film festivals.'
He added: 'Move over, Leo. You've had your turn. It's Sandilands' turn.'
Zombie Plane tells the story of high-profile celebrities fighting Zombies on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles.
It stars Chuck Norris, Vanilla Ice, Ice T, Sir Bob Geldof, Brian Austin Green and Sophie Monk as fictitious versions of themselves.
Australian stars Natalie Bassingwaithe, Cody Simpson, Matt Okine, Dan Ewing and Amy Shark are also set to appear in the film.

Revealed: How AFL team will use Snoop Dogg as a defence as they try to get their star off the hook for using a shocking anti-gay slur during a match
The Adelaide Football Club is trying to reduce a proposed five-game suspension that is set to be handed to their player Izak Rankine by arguing that the AFL has committed a double standard in booking US rapper Snoop Dogg to perform at this year's Grand Final. Rankine is currently the subject of an investigation after he was accused of making a homophobic slur, allegedly calling an unnamed opponent a 'f****t', during the Crows' three-point victory against Collingwood on Saturday. Talks between the AFL and the Crows regarding the slur have stretched into the fourth day and it is now expected that a decision on his sanction will be announced at some point on Thursday. It is understood that the Crows have been given more time by the AFL to respond to the league for the proposed five-game penalty, which was unveiled by former Collingwood president Eddie McGuire on Tuesday. 'The AFL advises that the Adelaide Crows have requested additional time to respond to the AFL's proposed determinations regarding an alleged incident with player Izak Rankine,' AFL general manager of corporate affairs Jay Allen said in a statement. 'The AFL has granted this request and will provide an update on the matter tomorrow.' The Crows will deploy several arguments in their bid to reduce the severity of the sanction that Rankine will receive. One of those submissions references how the AFL has employed Snoop Dogg for their Grand Final entertainment. The US rapper has a 1998 hit called 'Doggz Gonna Get Ya' which uses the same slur, 'f****t', that Rankine is being investigated for. Snoop Dogg had also published a now-deleted image on Instagram in 2014 that showed two men together, with the rapper adding the caption: 'Go suck ya man n get off my line f.A.G'. However, the US rapper, known also as Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jnr, has stated that he is not homophobic, adding that he has friends who are gay. 'I don't have a problem with gay people. I got some gay homies,' he said in an interview with The Guardian back in 2013. Other footy commentators have called the AFL out on its decision to book the US rapper, considering the league's current stance on promoting a diverse and inclusive culture within the sport. AFL CEO Andrew Dillon published an LGBTQI+ Action Plan earlier this year in which the footy chief wrote: 'I want to be clear: there is absolutely no place for homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia – or any form of discrimination for that matter - in our game, workplace, or society.' The league has taken a strong stance against homophobia in the past two seasons by handing out heavy suspensions to multiple players. West Coast's Jack Graham was suspended last month for four games for making a 'highly offensive' homophobic slur towards a GWS Giants player. Sydney youngster Riak Andrew was suspended for five matches for a homophobic slur made in a VFL match. The Crows are set to put multiple arguments to the AFL. They will also claim that Rankine's remorse over the matter should be taken into consideration when assessing whether there should be a reduction in his suspension Several other players were suspended last year, with Suns player, Will Powell, receiving a five-match ban and Jeremy Finlayson, of Port Adelaide, being handed a three-match ban. The Crows, meanwhile, are on the cusp of playing in finals this year, with the premiership hopefuls looking to break their 27-year wait for a flag. However, it is looking likely they will be without small forward Rankine for the postseason fixtures. The 25-year-old has been a crucial cog in Matthew Nicks' side's surge to the top of the AFL ladder, booting 31 goals this season while also averaging 20 disposals a game, an above-average figure for the league this season. The Crows will to also argue arguing that Rankine has shown remorse by choosing to phone the Magpies player he allegedly made the slur to on Sunday morning to apologise. It comes as Tex Walker revealed this week that he had called his team-mate to check in on him and revealed that the contrite forward will 'accept whatever comes his way.' 'He's very remorseful and he understands that he's made a mistake and he'll accept whatever comes his way,' Walker told Triple M. 'He hasn't been outside. He had a full day of investigation with the AFL yesterday. 'We will support Ranks, however, we don't agree with what happened.' The Crows will also submit that Rankine was provoked by an incident with Dan Houston, in which the two players engaged in a heated war of words on the pitch. It came after Houston had knocked Rankine out during the Showdown clash and copped a five-week ban for the collision. The details of their conversation have not been revealed but it is understood that Houston had made reference to Rankine being carried off the field last year. Adelaide will face North Melbourne in their final regular-season match of the 2025 campaign. They are also arguing that suspensions for finals matches should be given greater weight than regular-season games. Collingwood boss Craig McRae revealed that he has checked in on the player subjected to the alleged homophobic slur. 'Yeah, I think so,' he said, when asked if the Collingwood player was OK. 'We had a good chat over the weekend and then again Monday morning just to check in, it's about making sure our players are safe,' McRae told reporters on Wednesday. 'But I don't want to demonise Izak either. 'Everyone is allowed to make mistakes, and the young lad seems like a really respectful young man and he's made an error.

Betty Grumble's Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t review – nude, lewd and confused
This experimental act from Australia knows how to create merry anarchy with incantatory rituals and boundary-free explicitness. Performance artist Emma Maye Gibson, otherwise known as Betty Grumble, warns us about the nudity but this might not prepare some for what comes. A gigantic 'pussy print' hangs behind her on the wall and at one madcap moment she begins making imprint smudges of her own vagina on paper to hand out. A (hopefully fake) turd on a plate is eaten with knife and fork. There is a frenzy of naked skids across the floor and a performance of masturbation that feels oddly earnest. None of it is especially shocking or dangerous, perhaps because it comes in the spirit of fun, and accompanied by synth pop beats from 'hot assistant' Chris Slist (Megana Holiday). Gibson has abundant warmth and easiness but the show is slow to get going in terms of pace and focus. Her alter ego remains an assemblage of outre wig and mask, rather than a fully assumed identity, so feels slightly redundant. The central problem, though, is the lack of story and context. Gibson introduces the show by speaking of her grief for the Palestinian-Lebanese poet and activist Candy Royalle, who died in 2018. She also mentions her experience of domestic violence. The riotous lewdness that follows seems like a ritualistic assertion of joy in the face of those things. Yet the grief and abuse stay unknown. There is one very potent scene using music and repeated phrases to summon the dark spirit of a courtroom. It carries great dramatic intensity and you wish for more of this. Even if the show is fragmentary, non-narrative and experimental, it seems too unpinned and lands as an explicit variety act, which may be the desired effect for an artist who defines herself as a sex clown. Serotonin is briefly mentioned; so are revenge and justice. There are bird sounds and disco beats. It all feels random, helter-skelter. But it also embodies the bare-bodied life, soul and spirit of a bacchanal, albeit a strangely safe one. At Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh, until 24 August All our Edinburgh festival reviews

Tones and I flaunts her trim pins in thigh-skimming mini skirt as she debuts glam new look following incredible weight loss - and fans are forced to do a double take
Tones and I continues to turn heads with her dramatic transformation. The Dance Monkey singer, real name Toni Watson, took to Instagram on Wednesday to show off her slimmed-down figure in yet another sultry look. The 31-year-old stunned in an all-black ensemble, pairing a plunging long-sleeved top with a belted mini skirt that accentuated her waist and flaunted her toned legs. She completed the look with sleek knee-high leather boots and a chunky necklace, while her long, highlighted hair flowed past her shoulders in soft waves. Smiling confidently in a hallway mirror video, the pop star looked worlds away from her early days busking in Byron Bay in oversized streetwear. The striking new look left fans gobsmacked, with many forced to do a double take in the comments. 'There is no way this is Tones??? How????' one shocked fan wrote. 'So stunning as always girl,' another gushed, while a third simply said, 'Gorgeous. Love you.' It's the latest in a series of bold fashion choices for the singer, who has been embracing a more feminine and polished aesthetic since overhauling her lifestyle. The star previously wowed fans when she stepped out to perform a surprise duet with Cyndi Lauper at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena in April. In August 2024, Tones candidly addressed her body transformation in an interview with Cosmopolitan Australia, shutting down speculation and unwanted commentary. 'I've lost weight, so apparently that's the biggest thing that's ever happened to me in my life,' she said sarcastically. 'Everything is up for discussion. My body shape, my music, my livelihood, my relationship. 'I wish I could say that I could be someone where that doesn't affect me – but it does.' She added: 'I'm not a tomboy, I'm a girly girl and I always have been. 'But I didn't feel comfortable in myself and my body, so I covered myself up.' Tones and I's introduction to the music industry is the stuff of mythology. She was discovered busking on a Byron Bay street corner with her Casio keyboard. The singer had been living out of a van for two years prior to being offered a record deal. Tones recently celebrated her hit song Dance Monkey hitting a staggering three billion streams on Spotify. The Australian singer became the first female artist in the world to achieve the mega streaming milestone. She took to Instagram to mark the achievement with a portrait of herself alongside the caption: 'The first female in the WORLD.' Watson previously revealed she wrote the song while living in a van and 'playing music on the street'. The hit is one of the most successful songs in Australian pop music history.
