17 Moments From "The Project" To Ease Your Loss
It certainly wasn't the most conventional news program. In fact, that was the whole idea — it presented the headlines in more of a casual and digestible way with commentary from its hosts.
Carrie Bickmore accidentally saying "cunt-as" when referring to Qantas.
Another accidental slip of the tongue — Andrew Rochford calling comedian and writer Kitty Flanagan, "clitty".
Criminal Minds daddy, Mandy Patinkin, reminiscing on the time he and long-time Aussie TV staple, Rove McManus, shared a cheeky pash.
Carrie falling over during a live cross, because of her high heels.
Elmo confessing at the desk that he wanted to feed Abby Cadabby Vegemite, because of its horrible taste.
When the production team couldn't do cutaways so the presenters acted out b-roll moments while one of them read the news.
Amanda Keller suggesting Robbie Williams and Pete Helliar should have a snog — so they did!
Lots of kissing on The Project, TBH.
Georgie Tunny and Hamish MacDonald surprised by pyrotechnics on the Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning red carpet, leading to an inability to hear the presenters in the studio.
Three for three for Carrie Bickmore — calling the T20 Big Bash, the big "breast" while closing out the show.
The Inspired Unemployed gents pranking The Sunday Project team by heckling them in front of a live audience.
Filmmaking brothers, Michael and Danny Philippou throwing glasses of water on each other during a live broadcast.
Which felt like nothing in comparison to them taking over the broadcast and freaking out the presenters on their first The Project interview.
For those playing at home, "root" is Aussie slang for "hook up".
Margot Robbie forgetting about Australian slang for "barbie" while on her Barbie press run.
And finally, never forget when Randy Feltface went full throttle and questions why he was given a glass of water. He's a puppet.

Prince Rupert loses its only movie theatre as Cineplex closes June 15
Prince Rupert's sole movie theatre, the Famous Players Cineplex, is preparing for its final screenings this week, marking the end of an era for local film goers. 'We've made the difficult decision to close our Famous Players Prince Rupert location. Our final day of operation will be June 15, 2025,' said Michelle Saba, the VP of communications at Cineplex Canada. Saba earlier announced in April 2025 that the company intends to sell the property. 'Unfortunately, we are not at liberty to share more information about the sale or disclose further ownership details,' she said. At this time, it is unclear what will become of the property. In the last five days of operation, residents have the opportunity to watch the films Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Lilo & Stitch, and Karate Kid: Legends. 'We're grateful to the community for their incredible support over the past 43 years and would like to thank our incredible employees whose dedication has made this location so special,' said Saba.

Aussies stunned to realise common food 'isn't normal' anywhere else in the world
When you're in a hurry and feeling peckish, grabbing some sushi is often the quickest way to satisfy your hunger while still eating something healthy. With most shopping centres, train stations and main streets equipped with a takeaway sushi restaurant, the Japanese delicacy has become the meal of choice for everyone from fussy toddlers to busy office workers. Aside from being delicious, sushi is also a great to-go option thanks to the fact that you can eat it almost anywhere (and with just one hand) thanks to the way the rolls are made. But while we Aussies are no strangers to single, long rolls of seaweed wrapped goodness, a viral video has highlighted that the way we do sushi down under is not the norm. Dietician En Min Saw recently took to TikTok to poke fun at herself for starting to think that "Australian sushi" was the rule, instead of the exception. "How did I forget this wasn't normal?" Min quips in the clip, which has now been viewed more than 3 million times. "After living here for two years, I see it every day and honestly never thought twice about it," Min tells Yahoo Lifestyle of Aussie sushi rolls. "But it recently hit me that this type of sushi isn't really common anywhere else in the world. RELATED: Expat reveals unique issue Americans face in Coles and Woolworths: 'How dare you' American expat reveals most 'confusing' part of moving to Australia: 'Isn't as natural here' Well-known Aussie phrase leaves expat floored: 'What do you mean?' She adds, "I had a feeling the video would gain some traction, because it was such a perspective-shifting realisation for me — I figured others would resonate with it too. But I didn't expect it to blow up as much as it did, reaching over 3 million views (so far!). My favourite comments are people asking what 'normal' sushi looks like and the really wholesome messages from people who say it's such a genius, convenient idea. I love it!" Indeed, Min's video was positively flooded with comments from confused Aussies who had never realised (until now) that it's not at all common for sushi to be served as one long roll. "I thought this was normal. 😂 this is just sushi," one comment reads. "I've lived in Aus all my life and I thought this is normal sushi," says another. "As an Australian, HOW IS IT MEANT TO LOOK?!," one person begged. "I'm from Asia and I just moved to Australia, I am confused as hell when I first saw that, but it's very convenient and perfect if you need a grab-to-go meal," yet another person added. For anyone wondering how people manage to eat sushi on the go in other parts of the world, Min says, "I've heard that in the UK and US, sushi rolls are also sold as convenient to-go options, though they're not quite as common as they are here in Australia. "In Japan, while hand rolls (like cones or cylinders) are served, they're typically enjoyed fresh at the restaurant rather than as takeaway. Instead, Japan's common grab-and-go sushi alternative is usually onigiri — rice balls wrapped in seaweed." Another feature of Min's comment section was that people were eager for everyone to know that their country also makes sushi in ways that would make our heads spin. "You should look up Chilean sushi," one of Min's followers said. "We have sushi burgers…" "I mean... in Brazil we got FRIED sushi," someone else shared. "Can I just say, I love when people comment with 'You think that's not normal? Check out MY country!' — I think it's absolutely hilarious," Min tells us. "Brazilian sushi in particular caught my attention; one of the comments mentioned they make sushi in the shape of a hot dog or pizza, and with lots of cream cheese, which honestly sounds so wild." Reflecting on why "Australian sushi" is so popular - to the point that many of us consider it to be the "norm" Min says, "I think a huge selling point is that it's made to suit Aussie tastes, with all kinds of fillings - although stuffing your sushi with chicken and avocado may very likely be a crime in Japan! Plus, it's a convenient, budget-friendly option when you want something quick and tasty."

But I think as long as it's done with respect and appreciation for the original culture, putting your own spin on it is part of how food evolves and brings people together. Making that video was such a fun experience — there were so many layers to explore and stories to uncover behind it."

Aussie tennis star Daria Kasatkina announces engagement to figure skating girlfriend
It's Pride Month, and love is in the air! Aussie tennis star Daria Kasatkina just got engaged to her longtime girlfriend, former Olympic figure skater Natalia Zabiiako. The two athletes started dating three years ago and announced their engagement on June 7 via an adorable Instagram post showing off Zabiiako's diamond ring. Advertisement 'And just like that,' the caption reads. The pair's fellow athlete friends took to the comments to send them well-wishes on their upcoming nuptials. 'Ahhh congrats,' wrote British tennis player Katie Boulter. 'I will be at the wedding regardless if you want it or not,' commented Russian-Australian tennis star Arina Rodionova, who frequently stars in the couple's YouTube channel 'What the Vlog' which chronicles life on a tennis tour. And former American tennis champ Jennifer Brady said, 'Congrats Dasha and Natalia!!!" The star athlete couple's engagement comes on the heals of Kasatkina being granted a permanent residency by the Australian government after leaving Russia, a country that she has vocally criticized for it's persecution of the LGBTQ+ community. In 2023, the Russian Supreme Court ruled that "the international LGBT movement is an extremist organization' and in 2024 the first convictions in connection with the law were handed down after a man posted a Pride flag online and a woman wore rainbow frog earrings.
