Ringo Returns!

April 27th, 2010 by Anthea | 2 Comments | Filed in Music

Hi Girl Powerettes!

Did you catch the super cute Sam Clark on Neighbours last week? He reprised his role as Ringo Brown and performed his new single ‘Send me a Sign’.

In the show, Ringo performed the track to mark Bridget Parker’s birthday. Bridget died in a car crash last year leaving her Ramsay Street friends completely devastated! His musical tribute left us all a little misty-eyed… Awww. 

Sam’s been taking a break from Neighbours in the last few months to focus on his singing.

Sounds like his hard work has paid off because the single itself is super catchy, so listen out for it on the airwaves now!

Did you see Sam’s performance or have you heard his new single? Let us know what you think!

Bye Bye Bieber

April 27th, 2010 by Anthea | 15 Comments | Filed in Celebrity, Music, The Magazine

Baby, baby, baby, woah!

Bieber fever has seriously swamped Sydney!

Yesterday 4000 fans turned up to watch Justin perform at an outdoor concert on the TV show Sunrise. Girls came from all over the country and camped out to see this superstar. Then the crowd got really chaotic so the concert was cancelled!

Luckily Justin performed one song back in the studio because he didn’t want to disappoint his fans… awww. Afterwards he said, “I would love you to stay and hang but you have got to go. The police say you’ve got to go home.”

Sadly, Bieber’s saying bye bye to Sydney today. Don’t worry if you missed out on him this time though, when asked if he’d return to Oz he said, “Yes, for sure I will be back.” Phew! In fact, he even spilled to one fan that he’d be back as soon as November! Let’s hope so…

Lucky for our NZ readers, Justin is set to touch down in Auckland tonight! What’s on his itinerary you ask? He’ll be performing on TV, plus one super lucky school is getting their own private concert! Justin also posted on Twitter that he hopes to meet the All Blacks rugby team. He’s only in NZ for 24 hours though, so we’re not sure if he’ll be able to fit it in!

Guess who didn’t miss out on Justin this weekend… Our lucky duck editor Amy!!! She got to meet him and get all the Justin Juice! You better keep a lookout in our upcoming issues because we will give you all the goss on Mr. Bieber.

How about you girls, did you get a glimpse of Justin this long weekend? Let us know!

xx

HELP HAITI – Celebs Band Together

March 15th, 2010 by Mel | 17 Comments | Filed in Celebrity, Music

You’ve all probably heard this lovely charity song “WE ARE THE WORLD” directed by Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones. It was recorded in the same studio Michael Jackson did the original 25 years ago and helps raise money to those affected by the devastating disaster in Haiti. I can’t stop playing this song because I love hearing the unique blending of all the different sounds and voices each artist has in this song. It also reminds me that in such suffering times, everyone around the world unites to help out – even celebs. It features over 80 artists and performers. Here are the ones I spotted: Justin Bieber, Fergie, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Adam Levine(Maroon 5), Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Jamie Foxx, Usher, Nicole Scherzinger, Mark J. Blige, Carlos Santana, Jason Mraz, Jordin Sparks, Joel Madden and many MORE!


Can you spot the Jonas Brothers?

OMG-It’s Justin Bieber!

February 17th, 2010 by Mel | 19 Comments | Filed in Music

If you havn’t jumped on board the “I love Justin Bieber” train yet, then you’d better soon! He’s coming to Australia in April!!!!!! A little while ago this is what he tweeted:

“Hey Aussie fans…my new single “Baby” is now available on iTunes! Can’t wait to come down under and see you in April..i want to see a wombat”

Justin’s not only a talented singer but he has some awesome dance skills up his sleeve! His tunes are filling up my iPod fast with top hits like One Time (my fave), One Less Lonely Girl, and now… Baby. Check out the acoustic version below:

Are YOU excited to see JBiebs?
