REBEL WILSON returns to Australia for the release of PITCH PERFECT

She has taken Hollywood by storm with her hilarious comedic touch, and now Rebel Wilson is returning home to Sydney at the end of the month to celebrate the release of her new comedy PITCH PERFECT.

Bursting with laughs and music mash-ups, PITCH PERFECT also stars Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Elizabeth Banks in a story about an all-female singing group competing in the cutthroat world of college a cappella. However, it is Rebel’s scene-stealing performance as ‘Fat Amy’ which has garnered her plenty of new fans including the likes of Lady Gaga and Perez Hilton.

Born and raised in western Sydney, Rebel’s upcoming visit will include publicity interviews for PITCH PERFECT on Monday 26^th and Tuesday 27^th November in Sydney.

ABOUT PITCH PERFECT

Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who’d rather listen to what’s coming out of her headphones than what’s coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together. When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they become major contenders to top the competitive world of college a cappella.

Mike Tyson: Day Of The Champions - Main Event Mike KO in Sydney, Australia...

Boxing legend and ex con, Mike Tyson, has been trying to get to Australia for years.

Recently Australian promoter Max Markson of Markson Sparks! helped 'The Baddest Man On The Planet' make it down under to Australia for what else - another pay day, and to Tyson's credit, he has turned his life around... gone are the drugs and the ho's, with Mike all family man and entertainer with his new lease on life.

Mike still is no angel, based on his badass public speaking and use of colourful language, but when you look into his heart and eyes you can see that he's cleaned up his act. He even told a women in the audience when quizzed about where he was staying in Sydney that he was staying in his own bed, doing nappies, and that's his only party...publicly showing that any womanising days are a thing of the past.

The Mike Tyson documentary - video package that showed before his talk was pretty interesting and entertaining, and showed footage from teen years to recent, and included the good, the bad and the ugly.

What's next for Tyson? More movies, more public speaking and more pay days. Sure beats getting punched in the head and guts for a living. Good on you Mike for making positive changes to your life and wishing you continued success and happiness.

Words of wisdom from Mike Tyson...

"The message of my show would be no matter what adversity hits you in life, don't give up - that's the only time you will lose," he said.

"Someone can be a champion and never have a title."

"We all have to endure some kind of pain," Tyson said.

"I like Evander. Evander's going to be all right.

"It's all about embracing yourself and looking for happiness through that.

"I learned that lesson. If I can make it in what has been a pretty interesting life he can do it as well."
