As a break from money, mo’ money and even mo’ money news here in the US, let’s take a look at what another country sees as important news culture today. Let’s take a peek at Aotearoa-New Zealand, a nation I love as much as the USA. Here we go.

William Shatner has New Zealand on his radar for a one man show in April. Star Trek power in Middle Earth.

Taj Patrick Crowther gets celebrity baby press. Cute.

Schwarzenegger is returning to Hollywood flicks. New Zealand said it!
