Sydney on Screen: Jamiroquai resolves to share the love

Haven't we all at some point in time fantasized about stepping through a cinema/TV screen and into the world of our favourite movies and television shows? I certainly have!

With its modern, urban setting and stunning harbour, it is easy to see why Sydney leads the way as an ideal and versatile shooting destination. Movies shot here have been set in New York (Godzilla: Final Wars, Kangaroo Jack), Chicago (The Matrix and sequels), London (Birthday Girl), Seville (Mission Impossible 2), Bombay (Holy Smoke), Darwin (Australia), Myanmar (Stealth), Mars (Red Planet) and the fictitious city of Metropolis (Superman Returns, Babe: Pig in the City).

Jamiroquai resolves to share the love

The Daily Telegraph reports

HE may have been battling a "big slice of jet lag" but New Year's resolutions were a no-brainer for Jamiroquai yesterday.

"To get laid more, definitely," the playboy Brit smirked.

Spending his 42nd birthday in rehearsals, Confidential caught up with the groovy Jay Kay during sound check for tonight's Sydney Resolution concert - which he will headline with Culture Club.

The Canned Heat singer said he has "never" done a NYE gig before: "I usually just follow straight through (from my birthday) and keep going so this is different, it will be good."

The pop star was smoking and drinking beer throughout the test run and took a liking to the "old white Bentley" parked backstage, which belonged to the concert's promoter Andrew McManus.

If Jay Kay is jet-lagged its safe to say Culture Club frontman Boy George, 50, faces a steep climb, having only flown into Sydney late last night.

There are still tickets available for the Glebe Island mega gig.
