Podcast appearances and mentions of Courtney Act

My guest this week is drag legend Courtney Act, who you may know from Drag Race, Australian Idol, and from her countless live shows and music videos and albums. Now Courtney has a new podcast called RnR with Courtney Act where she goes deep with friends, celebrities, and celebrity friends. In part, it's a way for her to recapture that intimate, close-knit relationships she had with other queer people early in her career, before fame turned everything upside-down.And if you're in Seattle, I hope you'll join me this Tuesday June 24th at my upcoming live show What's so Gay About Frasier. It's a deep-dive into the private life of Seattle's most eligible bachelor — and an investigation into why he keeps finding himself at the center of queer misunderstandings. It's on Tuesday, June 24 at Elliott Bay Books on Capitol Hill at 7pm. Tickets are free, and I have all the details at mattbaume.com/events.Also, if you're enjoying The Sewers of Paris, I hope you'll consider supporting the show on Patreon. You may also enjoy my YouTube videos about the making of iconic movies and TV shows — I have a new video about the magic of Star Trek's Lwaxana Troi. And check out my weekly livestreams on Twitch, my book Hi Honey, I'm Homo!, and my free email newsletter. There's links to all that in the episode shownotes, and at MattBaume.com.

Montaigne is one of Australia’s most original voices. A genre-defying, ARIA-winning musician known for their theatrical flair and fearless honesty. From representing Australia on the Eurovision stage to carving out space as a non-binary artist, Montaigne brings both vulnerability and power to everything they do. In this episode, Jess sits down with the brilliant performer to uncover the real person behind the glitter and grandeur. Montaigne opens up about identity, family, and the emotional refuge they find in music. They reflect on the pressure of performing on one of the world’s biggest stages, what it means to be a confident introvert, and how creativity became a lifeline. With honesty and humour, Montaigne shares what it truly means to take up space, and how the stage gives them permission to express who they really are.

The two of them also talk about Willam's journey with alcohol and how being in entertainment has impacted her relationship with substances. This episode has no short of laughs, gnats, or celebrity anecdotes! We would love to hear from you! Email us at ROOTED@PROMISES.COM About Willam Belli: Willam Belli, unanimously known as Willam, is an American drag queen, actor, singer-songwriter, reality television personality, author, and YouTuber. Willam came to prominence as a contestant on the fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2012 but was disqualified in the "Frenemies" challenge. Before appearing on Drag Race, Willam worked as an actor, most notably playing the recurring role of transgender woman Cherry Peck in Ryan Murphy's medical drama Nip/Tuck. She has continued to perform in a variety of films, television series and web series, often in drag. In 2018, she appeared in the critically acclaimed film A Star Is Born.

This Fall, buck the hackneyed trends that ooze like a puss-filled pimple from the runways of Milan and Paris. Instead, embrace the effortless style that comes from the classic down-under fashion of the extraordinarily ebullient and embarrassingly eloquent Courtney Act. Whether you're channeling your inner Crocodile Dundee or the cowboy sleaze of John Wayne's 40 lbs of impacted colon feces, look no further for your comprehensive Fall Fashion Guide! From Miss Act's sparkly rhinestone Dr. Martens to her signature "Coochie-Cut" bugle crystal jorts, your neighbors will be peaking through their blinds to goon at the unadulterated gorgeousness on display. To accent your genetically-perfect complexion and perfectly-coiffed hair, finish the outfit with a genre-defying sequined denim Jacket and blindingly-neon-yellow tube-top that subtly hints at the existence of the perky little nipples that lie beneath. If you can walk down the street wearing this outfit without being instantly booked to be a model on Ed McMahon's Star Search, then you can slap my ass and call me Shirley.

Thank for clicking or downloading on today's episode with Marcia Hines. We will be talking about her fabulous return to Australian Idol last night Having taken a break for well over a decade Channel Seven has reimagined the old format and brought the nostalgia back for all those that grew up with Idol as their first singing based reality show.   Idol originated from the reality program Pop Idol, which was created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller. Which has given us artists like Guy Sebastian, Rob Mills, Courtney Act and Pauline. Just to name a couple of my favourites.    No matter what you heard about last years soft reboot of the show. I guarantee if you check out episode one you will be addicted.   Marcia Hines returning has brought experience and insight to the 2024 panel. That rounds out the right balance of judges improving drastically from last years miss step with Harry Coinnick Jr and Megan Trainor.  This years promising young vocalists will also sing in from of Kyle Sandilands and Amy Shark who have really found their feet when it comes to giving critics on the contestants.  There is so much to unpack with Marcia, from how the opportunity came up to return? Who out of the former judges (Mark holden and Ian 'Dicko' Dickson) she still speaks too. Plus how the show has changed and why some conflict is important. I will ask about her relationship with Kyle Sandilands and why competition based reality shows have thrown our their tired stereotype's when it comes to judging. Anyway, let's bring Marcia into the podcast, so sit back and relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into the world of Australian television. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast, I have ‘Courtney Act,' who has just had their identity reveal on ‘The Masked Singer'.  If you missed any of ‘Courtney's' performance  as ‘Cowgirl' you can go back and check them out on ‘Ten Play'. I personally loved the full circle moment of ‘Courtney' singing 'What about me?' which became a huge hit for ‘Shannon Noll' the year they both stared on' Australian Idol.'   ‘Shane Jenek' better known for his stage name ‘Courtney Act,' is an Australian drag queen, singer and television personality. ‘Courtney' first came to prominence competing on the first season of ‘Australian Idol' in 2003. After the show,  she went on to signed at ‘BMG Australia' now known as ‘Sony Music' and released that iconic single, “Rub Me Wrong", which made a decent splash on the ‘Aria Chats.'  There is so much to ‘Courtney's' story from ‘RuPaul's Drag Race' to winning ‘Big Brother UK'…. Those dance moves on ‘Dancing with the Stars'.. the LGBTI advocacy in this country and around the world.   There is so much to unpack and somehow ‘Courtney' touches on everything effortlessly without ever sounding like they are big noting themselves.  I am a huge fan and this chat was everything I would expect from ‘Shane' and also so much more. I will ask if there were big discussions behind the scenes regarding the reveal and how they chose to reveal ‘Courtney' and not ‘Shane?' We will discuss that ‘Play School' debacle and how dressing up as a cow is some how more acceptable than a man dressing as a woman!  We will find out which of the three judges had met ‘Courtney' before and if politics is something ‘Shane' would ever truely consider! Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘The Masked.' Which returns next Monday night on ‘Network Ten' and if you have fallen behind you can catch up on - on ‘Ten Play.' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The drag entertainer Shane Jenek, better known to the world as Courtney Act, has lived a pretty remarkable life and she's just getting started.A front runner on season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race, Courtney's season included many memorable people and moments that became a big part of queer culture.But it wasn't all fun, glitter and games. The show had issues with its lack of trans representation which put Courtney in the awkward situation of getting blocked by host RuPaul on Twitter for speaking out against the silent ban.Ironically, today gender is more fluid than ever, and it feels like all the contestants on Drag Race are either trans or non binary.Today Australian sensation Courtney Act joins us to give us the inside scoop on writing her new book Caught in the Act: A Memoir by Courtney Act

Courtney addresses some horrible allegations, Vanity reflects on the golden days caught on film, and we acknowledge those lost in Colorado Springs. Got something you want to ask us?
