Go-Jo represents Australia on world stage at Eurovision Song Contest
A long way from his WA hometown of fewer than 1,000 people, Marty Zambotto, 29, known as Go-Jo, has gyrated across the Eurovision Song Contest stage in the second semifinal.The singer, who grew up in a house classified as a "tin shed", was the first act in the running order to take to the Eurovision stage for semifinal two on Friday, representing Australia with the song Milkshake Man.
He invited crowd participation, and the audience responded enthusiastically to the call and response, with several people waving Australian flags.
There was a costume change before Go-Jo gyrated across the stage in nothing but a red scarf and his sparkly baby-blue figure-hugging slacks.
"I'm so proud," co-host Tony Armstrong said after his performance.
"That is how you open semifinal two, Australia!" co-host Courtney Act followed up.

‘Genius': Aussie's Uber Eats hack to score free food goes viral
A woman claims to have 'cracked the code' to scoring free food when ordering Uber Eats, saying that all it takes is a little kindness. Taking to TikTok, content creator Emma Kate Boyd explained, 'All you have to do is write something really nice in the caption' when using the food delivery app. When ordering Vietnamese takeaway from Melbourne restaurant Miss Chu recently, she wrote 'I f**king love Miss Chu' in the order notes of the app. 'They gave me a free dessert,' she said proudly, holding up a container of chocolate pudding. 'It really is that simple – spread a little love, get a little love.' reached out to Uber Eats for comment, and while they couldn't quantify how often restaurants give out free items, it's understood that this does happen across the platform. Ms Boyd's video quickly went viral, racking up over 40,000 views, as users shared their own experiences trying this. 'I wrote a cute note once and they refunded my whole order,' said one user. 'I did that and they just put hearts on my items,' wrote another. Meanwhile, some argued that she shouldn't have shared this information publicly, as now everyone will do it and restaurants will catch on. 'Don't tell people this!' said one. However, others claimed it hasn't worked for them. 'I've done this for every order for five years and never got anything free,' they said. 'Most people just hate kindness, sadly'. It comes after a woman went viral last month for sharing a nifty way she got larger portions of takeaway food – and it came down to channelling your inner man. Emily Lemus claimed that using a man's name when ordering might lead to more generous portions – because workers assume they have bigger appetites. She seemingly 'proved' her theory by ordering identical meals from Chipotle, one with a man's name and one with a woman's, and then weighed them to see which one was larger. Every time she conducted the experiment, the man's order was slightly heavier. In the same month, a delivery driver also shared his tricks and tips for ordering from places like UberEats. 'You don't need to scam anyone or lie about your order,' he explained online. He said customers need to join restaurants' loyalty schemes that sometimes offer first-time customers free food. Additionally, he explained, 'Honestly, if you've got a birthday, you've got free food. Some people use this every year like clockwork'.

Iconic Aussie boxer reveals he's ‘forgiven' 50 Cent despite rapper ‘robbing' him of $1.7m
Former Australian boxing world champion Billy Dib has revealed he has finally put to bed his famous feud with 50 Cent, despite the American rapper still owing him around $1.7 million. Back in 2012 a young Dib had the world at his feet and signed on as one of 50 Cent's first clients when the American launched a boxing promotion company, SMS Promotions, in July 2012. But what first seemed like the big break the Aussie had dreamt of wasn't all it was cracked up to be, with his multimillion contract unpaid as the musician-turned-actor's boxing business filed for bankruptcy. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. While in the years after his dabble into boxing, 50 Cent continued to cash in on various acting roles, Dib found himself in a whole world of hurt. Speaking on The BillyJoe Podcast late last week, Dib revealed he is still owed around $1.7m from the 49-year-old rapper, who he says 'robbed him blind'. 'There are people that robbed me along the way. 50 Cent took me to the cleaners, he robbed me blind,' Dib said. 'But I made a decision when I was diagnosed with cancer that I was going to forgive him and I was going to forgive anyone who robbed me in the sport of boxing.' But after being diagnosed with cancer in October 2022, Dib says he decided it is best to forgive but he will never forget. 'Before I got sick 50 Cent was my enemy. He was on my mind at the time like how I let this man rob me,' Dib recalled. 'He signed me up on an amazing deal when I was 27 or 28. Signed me on a three-year deal on life-changing money and he basically in the end liquidated the company and just didn't pay me. 'When I finally got to the point where I needed the money from 50 Cent, I said I'm in dire straights and he said I'm going to sort it out. At the time he owed me 1.1m USD, life-changing money. 'I rang him and said I am in the hospital, I am in dire straights and he said in 2015 I'm going to sort it out right now. He put $50,000 in my account and liquidated the company. 'That's how he sorted it out. When I rang him and said I'm a lot short he said that's all you're getting and that should get you through whatever you're going through. 'Long story short I let that bother me for years. But after learning he was cancer-free in 2023, Dib decided he would forgive his 'enemy' 50 Cent. And after doing so the Aussie boxer says it was like a weight was lifted off him. 'I made a decision when I was in hospital that anyone who ever wronged me, I was going to ask them to forgive me if I wronged them or that I forgive them if they wronged me,' Dib said. 'He's (50 Cent) been living in my mind rent-free, the minute that I forgave him I set myself free.'
