In 2000, millions of Australians tuned in to watch Popstars, one of the world’s first reality television competitions, in which five girls were selected from thousands to become members of a new band: Bardot. And Belinda Chapple signed a contract that would turn her life upside down. Bardot shot straight to fame and Belinda spent the following three years relentlessly rehearsing, recording and touring. But Belinda discovered that the life of a popstar could be lonely, and it came with consequences she never saw coming.

This is the powerful, untold story of two of the three members of Silverchair, Australia's most awarded musical act. From their beginnings in Ben Gillies' garage, this trio of high school kids from Newcastle, New South Wales, became famous with their smash-hit single 'Tomorrow', setting them on a path to domination of the Australian charts, worldwide touring and fame. So much has been written about Silverchair over the years but very little has been said by the band's members.

Story
For a man who has been firmly in the public eye for the past decade or more, Matt Preston has been very, very quiet about his past and private life. There are reasons for this. Now, in Big Mouth, Matt opens up about his early years for the first time—the good and the bad, the tragic and the ecstatic. Like the man himself, it's a story that's joyous, funny and larger than life. It's also, perhaps unexpectedly, filled with pathos and emotional depth, set to a pulsating 1980s soundtrack.

everything. An author sweats and toils to birth a tome with such colossal cultural impact, it has the power to retune the entire world to a whole new frequency. This is absolutely not one of those books. Not even close. And actually, that all sounds a bit much really, doesn't it? Rhys Nicholson is a multi-award winning comedian, writer and busy mum with an anxiety disorder, a complicated relationship with food and a book deal. In Dish, a debut whack at writing an entire book, Nicholson is reaching out to get some stuff straight in their head.

What does he see as his purpose in the world? What is the state of his mental health? What does he think about gender roles, about family, sex and mateship, about violence and vulnerability?

Tim Booth is shocked when his first emergency call-out for someone short of breath turns out to be an adult man with a blocked nose. Far from beginner's luck, this turns out to be an omen for the rest of his paramedic career. Between the obligatory stories of objects lodged in body cavities to grown men who can't look after themselves when their wives are away, Tim finds that the promised life-saving moments are far outweighed by the trivial, frustrating and bizarre ambulance callouts.

You’ve read the headlines, but you don’t know Jamie Lynn Spears. The world first met Jamie Lynn as a child star, when it was her job to perform, both on set and for the press. She spent years escaping into different characters—on All That, Zoey 101, and even in the role as Britney’s kid sister. But as she grew up, faced a teen pregnancy, raised her daughter on her own, pursued a career, and learned to stand on her own two feet, the real Jamie Lynn started to take center stage - a raw, blemished, and imperfect woman, standing in her own power.

Publisher's Summary
The best-selling and ABIA Award shortlisted memoir from Osher Gunsberg, one of Australia's most loved celebrities, about life, love and living with mental illness—powerful, dark, funny, and heart-wrenching.
It's hard to remember a time when Osher Gunsberg (or Andrew G as he was then) wasn't on TV—he's just always been there, looking at ease in the spotlight, beaming a big smile, with a questionable haircut. He was there hanging out with The Offspring backstage at the Warped Tour on Channel V; announcing to a national audience of three million people that Guy Sebastian was our first Australian Idol; and later capturing the heart of the nation by hosting every season of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and now Bachelor in Paradise.
But while everything looks great from the outside, the real picture has not always been quite so rosy. Osher has always known he's different to most other people. Struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, and weight issues since he was young, he tried for years to drink away the anxiety and depression. He ended up unemployed, divorced, suicidal, and certifiable on the other side of the world, yet somehow he managed to put the broken pieces of his mind back together and make a life for himself again. He lives with a mental illness—and he's come to terms with it to live an authentic, rich, and fulfilling life.
An honest, revealing, raw, funny, and heartfelt memoir from one of Australia's most well-known and well-liked celebrities—now with two new, additional chapters.

Amazing read
Hearing Osher share his own story made it all the more better. It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s authentic. I learnt more about myself through hearing his excellent story. It’s not about the pain or the tragedy, it’s about overcoming and finding his life again. I’m so grateful to have read it.

An amazing insight to mental illness and addiction
While it was difficult to start, I am so glad I finished listening to this book. It was raw, honest and allowed the opportunity to understand the perspective of someone's rise to fame and the struggles that went with it.
Not an easy ride but so glad he shared his story!

I didn't know much about the man behind the rose ceremony but I'm so glad I clicked buy on this one. I couldn't stop listening and smashed through this book in a day. Normally I don't rate books about people in the fellowship but I can see the value of Osher telling his story to help others. He is so humble and relateable. It was so perfect.

Very much worth the listen
This audiobook has been amazing to listen to. it's brought back a lot of memories and some hard stuff but it's also helped me understand some of that stuff which i really appreciate. Osher's telling of the story is fantastic. It's the kind of narrative that only the person who has lived it should tell. absolutely worth listening to. And just quietly I think I will also buy the hard copy.

Fantastic listen. Highly recommend!
As a familiar face on our tv screens, we always watched a happy and outgoing personality do his job, with no idea of the struggles he faced daily. This book is a great reminder that we never truly know what someone else is dealing with.

This was a great read! I have been watching Osher on TV for years now. It was lovely to hear him narrate this own story, you get a couple of hidden gems in the Audible version when his wife corrects him on some of the content of the book :)
Well worth reading.

Excellent book, superb reading performance.
I’m not a fan of the shows Osher hosts, but I do know of him from Chanel V .
The book was insightful and a very interesting retelling of the struggle and recovery from poor mental health.
Read by a true professional voiceover artist (Osher himself) but still from the heart
