3:01PM Jess McGuire | When I was a kid, I bloody loved Judith Lucy. I would repeatedly watch her on The Late Show and attempt to impersonate her to impress the slightly older boy next door. Later, as a hopeless nineteen year old check out chick (WITH BIG DREAMS) I would zone out whilst scanning stock at the register and replay her appearances on The Mick Molloy Show in my head, and often laugh out loud at the punch lines, much to the confusion/fright of customers.
In my later (declining) years, I would nobly attempt to defend her when male friends insisted her act consisted solely of sooking about her period/singleness in a monotone voice.
But now? Hang on, I think I still like Judith Lucy. Call me next time you’re in Melbourne, Judith! We could be great friends and I could wear your beautiful skin.
Anyway, she’s performing at the Opera House, and she’s given an interview with smh.com.au where she shares her thoughts on Nicole Kidman. Ready?
Age has brought more confidence, less anxiety and a renewed desire “to bang on about stuff”. “I’m almost enjoying myself,” she says. “Finally something’s kicked in where I’m going: ‘You know, you have been doing it for 20 years, you can’t be a complete turkey.’ ”
Lucy is fired up about advertising and popular culture promoting female youth as the ultimate ideal; about the pressure to undergo plastic surgery to look acceptable in an age that fears wrinkles and sagging flesh on women.

They’re Going To Make A Telemovie Featuring Strauchanie? Has The World Gone Mad?
12:30PM Jess McGuire | In Mediaweek’s newsletter today, there’s a story about Judith Lucy and Kaz Cooke sending Peter Helliar flowers, which is nice we suppose, BUT LOOK HOW THE TALE ENDS!!
When Triple M signed Peter Helliar to its Melbourne breakfast slot, some former colleagues sent him flowers, reports The Age. “Are you f—ing crazy?” the card read. “Congratulations!”
The senders were Judith Lucy and Kaz Cooke. That trio’s 2004 2Day FM Sydney breakfast show — moved to the national drive spot after ratings plummeted — ended with the controversial sackings of Lucy and Cooke. Austereo retained Helliar, prompting accusations of sexism.
In a long interview with the paper about his return to radio, Helliar explains he won’t be part of Before The Game on TEN this year, but there are plans for a telemovie featuring his character Strauchanie.
What on EARTH? We doubt it’d be possible to keep flogging a one-joke horse long enough to make a movie.
