Entertainment News

Hello everyone! 

I took a long break from the blog but now I'm back with an entertainment news update.



Taylor Swift Ticket Chaos

American singer Taylor Swift will be bringing the Eras Tour to Australia in February 2024 and the first release of tickets was chaos!

The tickets went on sale for the first time last week as part of the AMEX presale and there were glitches before anyone even had a chance to buy anything.The VIP packages should have been released at 10am for the Sydney shows and 2pm for the Melbourne shows, but with so many eager fans on the AMEX ticket site early, the website crashed half an hour before the sale.

In a statement released on Twitter, Ticketek apologised to Swifties and redirected them to its own site, and although people reported glitches from high traffic online,Ticketek maintained that it was working fine.

The Amex site started working eventually but the crash resulted in lots of confusion and frustration as fans either didn't know what was happening or missed out. 

Britney Spears Alleged Battery

Britney Spears said a San Antonio Spurs' security guard hit her in the face inside a resort in Las Vegas.

The singer was with her husband, Sam Ashgari, and two other people at Catch restaurant inside the ARIA resort when she saw Spurs' player, Victor Wembanyama, and approached him.She said that when she tapped him on the back, a security guard slapped her, knocking her glasses off her face.

Spears filed a police  report but police won't file charges as they state that surveillance footage shows her own hand hit her face when the security guard pushed it off Wembanyama's back. 

Her agent and security team told police the she and the security guard both said sorry to each other for the misunderstanding and investigators concluded there was no probable cause to arrest or cite him.

Hollywood Stars in Sydney

Tom Cruise and Margot Robbie arrived in Sydney ahead of the premieres for their movies Mission  Impossible: Dead Reckoning and the Barbie movie.

Mega-star Tom Cruise arrived on Saturday morning in a private jet, wearing a dark coat, pants and blue cap. The latest instalment of the popular Mission Impossible franchise, Dead Reckoning,will be released in two parts.The first was on Monday and the second will be out in 2024. 

Australian actress Margot Robbie greeted fans dressed in pink in Pitt Street Mall on Friday. The highly-anticipated Barbie is directed by Greta Gerwig.

Robbie, Gerwig and fellow cast, America Ferrara and Issa Rae, signed autographs and took photos with excited fans. Robbie, who is also a producer on the movie, next travelled to South Korea to continue the press tour. Barbie will be released later this month.

Daniel Radcliffe Not in Harry Potter TV show.

Fans who were hoping to see Daniel Radcliffe in the upcoming Harry Potter series on HBO Max will be disappointed, as the actor is not interested in appearing in it,

Radcliffe, who played the boy wizard in all the movies, says he thinks Max will go in a new direction for the show.

When asked about a possible cameo on the show, he said, "I doubt very much that they will ask. It seems to me that they are wanting to make a fresh series, which it feels like it'd be distracting to have old,haggard Harry also entering from stage left."

He clarified that he is not seeking to be on the show but is very supportive of the new cast of Potter and wishes them nothing but the best.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
