Sarah Jessica Parker Finally Arrives In Melbourne; QantasTo Emirates For Melbourne Cup

In the midst of Australia's airline troubles, 'Sex and the City' and 'I Don't Know How She Does It' megastar Sarah Jessica Parker changed her flight from Qantas to Emirates just in time for the Melbourne Cup.
Yes, movie stars have been dragged into the Australian airline - strike wars, by default.

The 46-year-old actress journeyed without her family on this occasion and rather came with a staff of seven and went straight to her Crown Casino - Towers exclusive suite.

She will be attending a press conference for her newest film, 'I Don't Know How She Does It" as well as Oaks Day on Thursday.
Parker was spotted in casual dress with basic hairstyle, something fashion press is not used to, especially for international stars to our shores.

At Melbourne International Airport, she jumped to her limo in a plain-ish cotton long-sleeved shirt with black and white striping. Something tells us she will be more dolled up for the Tuesday presser.
SJP is strongly rumoured to be very much enjoying her stay at James Packer owned Crown Towers, part of the Crown Limited and Crown Casino family. We understand that Echo Entertainment's The Star and The Darling, are watching the international celeb visiting space closely, and may have an upcoming offer for her on the table soon. In the meantime, Echo Entertainment has other Hollywood megastar, Leonardo DiCaprio taking up a whole level of their establishment, with the occasional visit by a model or two.

The mega crisis that Qantas airlines have been experiencing of late has also stranded other celebs who are set to be in Australia this week. The list to date includes Khloe and Kim Kardashian, Joan Collins, Kings of Leon, and Sharni Vinson.

Something tells us that SJP will rise above the chaos.
Let's hope she's backed a winner in 'I Don't Know How She Does It' and that her racing picks treat her like a lady also. Any horsing around on the agenda? Stay turned.

33 Postcards Movie Premiere At Randwick Ritz Sydney, by Eva Rinaldi

Tonight saw 33 Postcards enjoy its premiere at the Randwick Ritz, in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

The night was not only a movie premiere but also an event somewhat designed to raise awareness and funds for educational and arts programs, tied into the film.

33 Postcards enjoyed strong media support by popular radio station 2UE and benefiting Sydney Children’s Choir and their Bursary Program, giving disadvantaged kids musical and educational opportunities that would have otherwise likely been out of their grasp.

The acclaimed cast and crew of 33 Postcards enjoyed drinks and bites with their fan base, insiders, and entertainment media, and also lapped up performances from the Sydney Children’s Choir and Chinese Lion Dancers.

Then it was time for the Australian theatrical premiere of the flick.

The film was shot in both China and Sydney, Australia in 2010. It's the story of Chinese orphan Mei Mei (Zhu Lin) who for a decade of dreams about embracing her Australian sponsor Dean Randall (Guy Pearce). It's not until she reaches 16 years of age, when her orphanage travels down under to Australia to attend a Choir Festival, Mei Mei takes the opportunity to look him up. What she finds however is a far cry from the idyllic life he depicted in his postcards. Initially mismatched, together they begin a journey in search of belonging, family, redemption, love and acceptance. It's trial, tribulation, and living to fight and survive another day.

Dean is actually a convict in prison for manslaughter, so you can imagine the issues that brings on.

33 postcards won the Community Relations Commission Award at Sydney Film Festival and Victor Dominello MP NSW Minister aptly stated "33 Postcards, inspired by real life stories, explores how two individuals come together despite two different cultures, ages and unexpected circumstances." This evocative film portrays sensitively how people of vastly different cultural backgrounds can interact effectively in our society."

This is an unique and touching story that is rarely told about the relationship that some Aussies have with Chinese Orphans.

It's not quite for everyone, but if you like a story of survival, beating the odds and the world coming together as one sort of thing, this is likely for you.

Well done to everyone involved in making the event a success.

Stars:

Guy Pearce, Zhu Lin, Claudia Karvan, and Lincoln Lewis

Produced by: Australia-China co-production

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones grew up in Swansea, Wales, under the guidance of her seamstress mother, Patricia, and her confectionery-business owner, Dai. Her interest in performing became evident early on as she enrolled in dance classes before her fifth birthday, later joined a troupe at the Hazel Johnson School of Dance and subsequently caught the acting bug through church theater groups. Just when she was ready for a breakthrough, Zeta-Jones suffered a temporary setback when an infection forced her to stay at home and affected her breathing to the point where a tracheotomy was needed.

After overcoming the infection, Zeta-Jones renewed her interest in performing with added vigor -- especially when her parents moved her to a wealthier area of Swansea after winning the lottery. Already comfortable performing for friends and family, Zeta-Jones began auditioning for stage productions and landed her first lead role as the title character in a stage production of Annie. After that, she starred in Bugsy Malone (1983) and The Pajama Game (1986), after which she was invited to tour England as part of the deal. The young actress experienced a career milestone in 1987, when she replaced two illness-stricken actresses to play the lead role of Peggy Sawyer in 42nd Street.
