It’s been 20 years since pop icon Madonna has performed in Australia. It seems that her fans aren’t keen on having her despite the time apart, apparently.

Her upcoming Rebel Heart tour is having difficulty getting fans to purchase tickets despite previous predictions that her shows down under would sell out in minutes.

Tickets for the 3 city tour went on sale earlier this month and kicks off in March of next year. So far however, it has only been the cheapest of seats which have managed to sell.

In Brisbane the tickets start at €130 and fans have been slow to come forward and make any purchases.

While Melbourne and Sydney fans have been more inclined to splash out, they have yet to snap up the more exclusive tickets retailing for €330.

If they were willing to really go all out for the Devil Pray VIP experience, fans could expect to be shelling out over €500. Included in the package is prime seating, drinks a pre-show party and tour memorabilia.

The last time the 56-year old singer toured Australia in 1993 she cut her Girlie Tour short due to her children’s schooling.

According to the Daily Mail, there is speculation that her set list is what may have turned fans away, as well as the high ticket prices.

Those wanting to hear some of her greatest hits would have been left waiting as apparently her new material is the focus of her latest tour.

Irish model Shahira Barry has been cast as a Kim Kardashian body double for a new advertisement on the entertainment channel E!.

The Galway girl wrote about her experience on her blog where she gave readers a little insight into her day working along side the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

Shahira explained that she didn't even apply for the job, she was just picked at random after a job she undertook in the past and she  "was booked as Kim's stand-in".

As Kim is one of the most photographed women on the planet with thousands of women wanting a body just like hers it must have come as a happy surprise for Shahira. "I was very flattered and it was definitely a confidence boost!" she admitted.

According to the model, the famous family are even better looking in real life. "Kris, Kylie, Kendall, Kourtney, Kim and Khloe were all there along with their glam squad and a large production group. WOW they are one beautiful family! I think they are actually better looking in person," she wrote of her experiences on set.

Shahira gave us an insight into the lives of the stars saying, "Personality wise they were all the same as they are on TV which is refreshing!"

It is widely known at this stage, that Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have this outrageous on going feud, and it has even been said that Taylor's song 'bad blood' is about the singer. 

We're not even fully sure what the drama is all about, but it has been reported that it all started when Katy stole back up dancers from Taylor. 

Our real question is why were the dancers so eager to leave Taylor for Katy? But that's for another day. 

Nicki Minaj also got involved as her and Taylor exchanged words over Twitter, Taylor apologised and the gals made friends again, but it doesn't seem the same is true for Taylor and Katy. 

During her performance of Bad Blood at a concert in Massachusetts over the weekend, Taylor was joined on stage by a very special guest… Left shark!

Katy famously danced with two sharks at the super bowl last year, and the guy on the left gained serious popularity as he was spotted getting his dance moves wrong. 

Well Taylor just threw some serious shade at Katy being joined by a shark on stage at her gig but fans thought it was immature. 

Some people would rather they just had it out and got it over with already… 

According to some, it was just down right childish… 

While others didn't take it too seriously and saw the funny side…

Following the tragic death of his daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, musician Bobby Brown has spoken publicly for the first time.

"Krissy was and is an angel. I am completely numb at this time," the singer, 46, said in a statement today. "My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honor her memory.

"Our loss is unimaginable." 

He added: "We thank everyone for the prayers for Krissy and our family as we mourn my baby girl." 

Bobbi Kristina was aged just 22 when she died a hospice facility in Atlanta yesterday. 

On January 31, she was found unresponsive face-down in a bath-tub at the townhouse she once shared with her late mother, Whitney Houston. Police believe she was underwater for anywhere between two and five minutes.

Her father's words come as TMZ reports that the investigation into the circumstances that led to the young woman's death has just been made one of murder.  

Law enforcement sources told the website that police believe foul play was involved. Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, continues to be a person of interest.

Ms Brown was surrounded by her family at the time of her death. 

"Yesterday Bobbi Kristina Brown took her place in heaven," lawyers for Mr Brown also said in a statement today. "Krissy fought to get well for months, however she has [succumbed] to her injuries." 

Following his daughter's death, PEOPLE reported via a family source that Bobby contacted loved ones to share the news himself. 

"He is holding it together more than you'd expect," the source furthermore explained. "He knew it was coming.

"Of course he's very emotional, but at the same time, he knows that Krissy is in a better place now. 

"He is taking comfort in the fact that she's with her mother and that there will be no more sadness or pain. She is at peace. He knows that and is taking comfort in that." 

The Houston-Brown family had confirmed the death yesterday via a statement.

"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July 26, 2015, surrounded by her family," it read.

"She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."

She has come a long way since the crazy take away days of Geordie Shore season 1 and she has documented it on Facebook today. 

Former Geordie Shore cast member Sophie Kasaei posted a transformation picture of herself earlier today and she looks incredible!

She explained that "since Iv just got this Facebook this is how far I have come, from a girl who was unhealthy, overweight , down , miserable and constantly living in a battle over my body I can honestly say I'm now in a better place!"

She was far from over-weight in the first picture, but now she looks extremely lean and in great shape.

Sophie, who now owns her own clothing boutique called "Off The Rails" in South Shields, had a diet that was far from ideal in the early days of the MTV reality TV show saying she "lived off takeaways, foods laced in saturated fats, I was lazy, I spoke about slimmer girls in a awful way and made excuses for myself."

She then went on to tell fans about her huge weight loss of "3.5 stone over 3 years" and now she says she feels so much more comfortable in her own skin and she can finally get excited about wearing whatever she wants!

"And YES I did this all on my own through changing my eating habits and getting off my arse and to the gym!"

Joan Wells is an 89-year-old great grandmother from Scotland and she is a lot braver than we are!

This brave soul decided that at almost ninety, she would give sky diving a go for the first time.

The great-grandmother of four, is believed to be the oldest person to have ever done a skydive in Scotland as she took part i the 10,000ft jump. 

Speaking about her experience, she said "It was very interest, I sort of enjoyed it – it was a new experience but it was over so quick that you don't really have time to think about it."

While some might be shutting their eyes are tightly as they possibly can, this sky diver took in absolutely every minute of it saying she got a "good view in the freefall bit.. it was beautiful countryside".

She does charity work for Blysthwood care and this adrenaline rush was all in the name of raising funds for an after school project for children in Romania. 

Joan said he has a feeling it was her who suggested doing the sky dive in the first place "So, of curse I had to go for it after that. It's a chance of a lifetime really". 

She added: "Everyone keeps asking me if I would do it again and quite honestly I don't know.

"It would very much depend on what it was for, but having done it once I think I could do it again, although I am not sure I would rush to."

Ah, we love our Dads, especially when they get frustrated and whip out the curse words.

Irish girl Corey Hughes tried out the '30 Cows' riddle on her poor da and he just couldn't cope with the stress. If you haven't heard the riddle yet, here it is:

If you're still confused, try saying it like this: "There were 30 cows in a field, 20 ate chickens, how many didn't?"

Poor Corey's dad couldn't take the hint though, and his (NSFW) reaction has us laughing waaay too hard.

There is literally tears rolling down my face. The "30 cows in a field" riddle answered by my da the end though

It's been a year since Avril Lavigne's struggle with Lyme Disease forced her to bow out of the spotlight, but the singer returned to the stage last night for a very special performance at the Los Angeles Special Olympics World Games opening ceremony.

Performing her song Fly, an inspiring anthem she wrote especially for the Games, Avril looked healthy and happy as she sang at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. 

Taking to Instagram after her performance, Avril seemed overwhelmed with how the night had gone.

"This was a very beautiful night for me… It has been a difficult year fighting through Lyme Disease for me and I am so happy to have made it on stage tonight for the first performance in a year," she wrote. 

"Thank you for having me and please enjoy my song Fly. I wrote this song to encourage people who are facing challenges, to encourage strength and to empower."

Lyme Disease, an infectious illness caused by a tick bite, is often mistaken for other sicknesses, as happened in Avril's case. Speaking on Good Morning America last month, Avril revealed that for weeks doctors tried to convince her there was nothing wrong.

"They would pull up their computer and be like, 'Chronic fatigue syndrome.' Or, 'Why don’t you try to get out of bed, Avril, and just go play the piano?' It’s like, 'Are you depressed?' This went on and on for a month," she explained.

With a suspicion that her symptoms matched up with Lyme Disease, the Complicated singer finally got a diagnosis, and almost a year on she is getting stronger by the day, but it has been a difficult journey. "I felt like I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t talk and I couldn’t move. I thought I was dying … There were definitely times I couldn’t shower for a full week because I could barely stand," she said of her illness earlier this year.

We delighted to see her back in good health again.

If you're partial to a margarita or a Corona with lime on a summer's evening, you had better be careful where you drink it.

Some terrifying pictures have been doing the rounds online over the last few days, all showing painful looking chemical skin burns from a very unexpected source. Phytophotodermatitis, a.ka. "margarita dermatitis", occurs when the sun's UV rays come into contact with the juice or oil of certain plants, vegetables or fruit… in particular lime juice.

All it takes is for a splash of lime juice to land on your skin on a hot day for a reaction to occur, although it can take a few days for the burn to fully develop. If you don't wash the juice off quickly, you'll be left with painful flaking, redness and burning. OW. Depending on the level of heat and the amount of juice, the reaction can range from minor:

TO MAJOR:

Oh shit. #phytophotodermatitis #chemicalburn #vivamexico

Search #phytophotodermatitis on Instagram if you're in the mood for anything more graphic (read: BLISTERS BLISTERS BLISTERS). 

Limes aren't the only cause of the burns, either. If you're preparing anything containing citrus fruits, celery, wild parsley, wild parsnip, wild dill or other wild flowers before heading outside, be sure to wash up well with soap and water.

And if you have been unlucky enough to be affected, you have a couple of options. For mild reactions, an application of 1% hydrocortisone cream two or three times a day should help clear it up and reduce pain. For more severe peeling or blistering, be sure to see your doctor as soon as possible. Don't panic though, as even major reactions should heal completely in time.

Today's lesson – keep those margarita pitchers indoors, people.

Khloé Kardashian has bared ALL in a new photoshoot for Complex magazine. The raunchy shoot features shots of Khloé's ample derriere, clad in a black leotard. 

The reality TV star certainly seems to be giving her older sister Kim a run for her money as she shows off her ever-growing bum. 31-year-old Khloé looks amazing following a long journey to becoming fit and healthy which she has been documenting on her various social media platforms. 

In the article for this shoot, the youngest Kardashian sister is described as "the rock at the centre of her family's wild ride to celebrity super-status" who is "ready to step into the spotlight" after "one of the most tumultuous years of her life."

In the interview, which took place earlier this year, Khloé was asked about her role as the protective sister, and we love her response. "I am a lion and these are my cubs," she told Complex. "Don’t f*ck with my cubs ’cause I will rip your head off."

The reality star was also asked about her notorious Twitter feud with Amber Rose, which resulted in many people calling her a "slut-shamer." Speaking about the controversy, Khloé said, "I am not one to slut-shame, I have done slutty behavior myself."

At the time of the interview, Kourtney and Scott's split had not yet been made public, and when asked about Scott, Khloé seemed to have nothing but praise for him.

"We’re the best of friends, but what’s crazy is how much I hated him before. Overall I love his progression and growth," she told the magazine. "You can’t deny how much he loves Kourtney, and I do think he tries. We’re very much involved in each other’s lives."

The photo Khloé shared on her Instagram bares a serious resemblance to her older sister Kim's 'internet-breaking' cover shoot for Paper magazine from last year:

It was recently reported that Khloe had made her divorce final with Lamar Odom and when asked about him she seemed very cut up. "Oh my god, I miss him every day. I miss what we had—things we got to do together are just memories," she admitted.

"I like looking back and holding on to that stuff. I definitely miss it, and there’s times I’ll get so sentimental and so sad, but this had to happen for some reason. I’ll figure it out over time, someone will give me that answer eventually. I think it would be very f*cking weird if I didn’t miss it."

Prince George may have completely stolen the show at the family gathering for Princess Charlotte's christening earlier this month, but over the weekend his parents took some of the well deserved attention.

Prince William and Kate Middleton stepped out yesterday for the America's Cup World Series sailing races in Portsmouth, England, and they looked full-on adorable while doing so. How can two full grown adults manage to look adorable, you ask? Matching outfits, that's how.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wore identical navy and red zipped long-sleeve tops for the event, and each had their official title emblazoned on the back.

How cute?

Honestly, HOW CUTE?

As well as her husband-coordinated fleece top, Kate went for a low-key outfit, teaming the jacket with a Breton striped tee, a pair of dark skinny jeans and beige suede flats. Her hair was tied back in a low pony, with pearl earrings setting off the casual look.

Sadly though, if you're keen to recreate her look, the Henri Lloyd jacket alone will set you back a whopping £9,999 (€14,000).

Prince George wasn't there for the afternoon event, but his mum let us in on possibly the sweetest fact ever: the toddler apparently loves to brag about being a year older than he actually is.

The second-youngest Royal turned two just last week, but he's already been telling people he's three.

"George says that. He thinks he’s older," Kate revealed to the mother of a two-year-old who pulled the same trick when introducing himself to the Duchess.

While at the event, Kate was gifted another sailing jacket with the words 'Princess Charlotte' on the back:

We cannot WAIT for that family photo.

Kanye West is now well known for his shocking behaviour (on and off stage), and last night was no exception.

The rapper was performing during the closing ceremony of Toronto's Pan Am games, when he began experiencing some sound problems. Ever the diva, Kanye refused to wait for things to be fixed and instead he stormed off the stage in protest after just 13 minutes of performing.

The Gold Digger hitmaker was having some technical difficulties which meant the audience could barely hear him, when he eventually got so fed up that he simply left the stage, throwing his mic up in the air, walking off mid-song and refusing to return for an encore.

Kanye left around 40,000 fans waiting and people attending the Pan AM games closing ceremony were not happy about it. 

Kim Kardashian's husband was the final artist on as part of the closing ceremony, following performances by Pitbull and Serena Ryder.
