KISS 'deeply honoured' to receive Kennedy Center Honor
KISS feel "deeply honoured" to be receiving a Kennedy Center Honor. The veteran rockers are among the recipients of the prestigious award - which "recognises and celebrates individuals whose unique artistic contributions have shaped our world" - this year and couldn't be happier to be recognised alongside the likes of stage star Michael Crawford, disco legend Gloria Gaynor, country musician George Strait and actor Sylvester Stallone. Paul Stanley told TMZ: "From our earliest days, Kiss has embodied the American ideal that all things are possible and that hard work pays off. "The prestige of the Kennedy Center Honors cannot be overstated and I accept this on behalf of the long legacy of Kiss and all of the band members who helped create our iconic band." Gene Simmons added: "Kiss is the embodiment of the American dream. We are deeply honoured to receive the Kennedy Center Honor." Ace Frehley said: "[It is] a dream come true that I never thought would materialise." Peter Criss simply said: "I feel so blessed. This is the greatest honour of our career." Despite various members of KISS being critical of President Donald Trump in the past, their remarks don't seem to have had an impact on their selection because the US leader said he was "very involved" in choosing the recipients and turned down some suggestions he didn't personally approve of. Announcing the recipients this week, he said: 'I would say I was about 98 percent involved. They all went through me. '... I had a couple of wokesters. Now, we have great people. This is very different than it used to be, very different.' In a major change to the ceremony - which will take place on 7 December and air on CBS and stream on Paramount+ at a later date - the president himself will serve as host. When he made the announcement at the Kennedy Center's Hall of Nations, where he unveiled five portraits draped in velvet, Trump admitted he himself had long wanted one of the prestigious accolades. He said: 'I waited and waited and waited, and I said, 'The hell with it, I'll become chairman and I'll give myself an honour ... Next year, we'll honour Trump, okay?' Tom Cruise is believed to have turned down the honour due to scheduling conflicts.

Cruise review: I took a Travelmarvel Capella European Gems river cruise
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. It's rare to be able to check in and join a cruise halfway through its itinerary but that's precisely what I did. It's a point of difference for Travelmarvel, the sister brand to Australian-owned APT. If a cabin is available, anything is possible. This flexibility is a hallmark of the brand, and echoes throughout the ship's laid-back program. There's a modern but relaxed feel to the interiors, food and service, which suits Australian guests, and the pricing is competitive, catering to travellers who may not need all the bells, whistles and pricey all-inclusive drinks packages.

While Australian guests will usually complete the full 15-day European Gems itinerary along the Rhine-Main-Danube route, European-based travellers are more likely to choose to sail for one week. This leaves a handful of free cabins for a colleague and I to join the fun. The company has four ships sailing Europe's most popular course, and Capella's cruise director Hedleigh Emberson knows the itinerary well. He's been sailing this circuit for years, and rallies the troops each day for shore excursions with good humour and infectious energy. We embarked on the Travelmarvel Capella in Melk, Austria, for the final leg of its river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. Picture: Supplied. The itinerary While Capella's 15-day itinerary traverses the Netherlands, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary, I'm only on board for four nights, covering Melk and Vienna in Austria, Bratislava in Slovakia, and Budapest in Hungary. It's a hit a minute – each day we arrive at a fascinating European city, and the diverse experiences make it clear why many travellers repeat this route. In Melk, we explore its Baroque hilltop abbey, and enjoy the cobblestone streets lined with local distillers. By afternoon, we've reached the idyllic village of Dürnstein. By afternoon, we've reached the idyllic village of Dürnstein for a wander and wine tasting at Weingut Böhmer. The region is known for its grüner veltliner and we settle in for the afternoon at a quirky bar tucked into the city's medieval gate. A full day spent in opulent Vienna passes quickly, touring manicured parks, historical Habsburg palaces and monuments (including many devoted to the Empress Sisi), shopping, and sampling ale and schnitzel at the popular Reinthaler's Beisl. Bratislava in Slovakia is immaculate and affordable, with its historic Old Town a stone's throw from the ship. Our last stop is the highlight, with two days in Budapest, where the finale is a jovial dinner and an evening cruise along the Danube with the magnificent Budapest landmarks alight. I was lucky to score an Owner's suite. It was very spacious, with a generous seating area. Picture: Rob Nijhuis/Supplied. The cabins There are 89 cabins catering to a maximum of 178 passengers and 44 crew, and three categories of rooms. Entry level starts at a Window Stateroom up to a French-style Balcony Suite (with floor-to-ceiling windows, which open), and an Owner's Suite, which I was lucky to score. It was very spacious, with a generous seating area, bathroom with double sinks and plenty of storage, desk and large TV facing the bed. All of the rooms are modern and well furnished. There is a petite whirlpool on the sun deck. Picture: Rob Nijhuis/Supplied. The extras Daily shore excursions are included in your fare, with extension options if you want to pay more. There are bicycles to borrow and I was pleased to find a gym on board, not that I used it after walking so much while exploring different cities each day. There is a petite whirlpool on the sun deck, and a cooktop space on the Sky Deck Terrace functions as an outdoor bar and barbecue, which lends an Australian touch for outdoor entertaining. The main dining room, Constellations Restaurant, serves good, crowd-pleasing food. Picture: Supplied. Food and drink The main dining room, Constellations Restaurant, serves good, crowd-pleasing food, and the comfortable McGeary's Bar (named after the company's founding family) at the rear of the ship, has a more casual pub-style menu. The True North Lounge is an additional bar area for relaxing or evening entertainment. Travelmarvel suits travellers who don't want the expense of an all-inclusive drinks package and prefer to pay as they go.

'You'll find me on the mezzanine,' he winks at me, gesturing to his desk upstairs with a cheeky nod to Kath and Kim (who mispronounce it as mezza-noyne). What's not Dark wood panelling within the interiors is polished and cosy but can make spaces feel dark if the weather is overcast. The service was efficient and friendly and the tours of a high standard. Picture: Supplied. The verdict - 8.5/10 Although I didn't undertake the full 15-day itinerary, this is a flexible, good-quality way to pack in the sights. The service was efficient and friendly and the tours of a high standard. The writer was a guest of Travelmarvel. Its 15-day European Gems cruise, sailing Budapest to Amsterdam, is priced from $4995 per person. Originally published as Cruise review: I took a Travelmarvel Capella river cruise, this sets it apart

David Stratton's infamous The Castle review goes viral after his death
Don't miss out on the headlines from Movies. Followed categories will be added to My News. One of David Stratton's most infamous film reviews has gone viral in the wake of his death this week. Stratton passed away at the age of 85, and now fans are remembering some of his most memorable moments. He was best known to film fans for appearing alongside Margaret Pomeranz for decades on numerous movie review shows. As movie buffs mourn his death, Stratton's review of 1997 Australian classic The Castle has gone viral on social media as fans remember his infamous dislike of the flick. Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton. Picture: Getty. 'I'm afraid it wasn't for me, Margaret,' he told his co-star on At The Movies. 'I thought it was patronising towards its characters, I didn't find it funny.' He added: 'It's very rough [technically]. I'd give it one and half [stars].' Twenty seven years later, he told The Daily Telegraph he had seen The Castle in years since and said he had 'completely misunderstood' the film. 'It was the first film made by a team that worked in television, and it looked to me like a telemovie, whereas I'm very much into the visual side of cinema,' he explained. 'But I obviously completely misunderstood it, as I have watched it a few times since, and I now think it's very funny,' he added. The writer's family announced his death on Thursday afternoon, saying he died peacefully in hospital near his home in the Blue Mountains. Anthony Simcoe, Stephen Curry, Michael Caton and Anne Tenney in a scene from The Castle . 'David's passion for film, commitment to Australian cinema, and generous spirit touched countless lives,' said his family in a statement. 'He was adored as a husband, father, grand and great grand father and admired friend. 'David's family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support from friends, colleagues, and the public recently and across his lifetime.' Stratton's family has asked for privacy in the wake of his death, but they shared a heartwarming request with his fans as a way of paying tribute to the beloved critic. '[We] invite everyone to celebrate David's remarkable life and legacy by watching their favourite movie, or David's favourite movie of all time — Singin' In the Rain.' Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is among those who have paid tribute to Stratton. 'With dry humour and sharp insight, David Stratton shared his love of film with our country,' he wrote on Twitter. 'All of us who tuned in to At the Movies respected him for his deep knowledge and for the gentle and generous way he passed it on. May he rest in peace.'
