During his eleven years with West Coast, earning him several of the league's highest individual awards including a Brownlow Medal and Most Valuable Player, Cousins has also been listed as one the top 50 players of all time by journalist Mike Sheahan.

The pop star who turned 26 during the week told Winfrey that she plans to go on a media blackout during the coming months. "Other than this interview Oprah, I do not intend on speaking to anyone for a very long time.. No press, no television." Gaga has one of the most loyal fan bases in the music industry but despite her roaring success she has never been devoured by the fame monster.

The average British female sports size is a sixteen but despite this, the former Spice Girl (whose diet consists of steamed fish and raw vegetables and easily fits into a size six dress) claims she represents the general public. It's fairly evident that the star may used to fit that physique during her Spice Girl days sporting a healthy ten to twelve dress size. But in recent years her dieting and weight has made her one of the leanest women in Hollywood. The star who gave birth to her fourth child in July, last showed off her toned body in a recent Harpers Bazaar Magazine shoot for swim wear. The fashion designer is so convinced that she represents the norm that she has started basing her designs on her own measurements and has replaced models with her own body when it comes to fitting dresses for her clothing line…HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA: The name Pattie Mallette may not ring a bell with most people, but the twitter world has exploded with "Happy Birthday Pattie" trending worldwide.

FEATURING 4 OF THE WORLD'S HOTTEST SUPERSTARS!
FLO RIDA, JAY SEAN, SOULJA BOY AND TRAVIE MCCOY
PLUS SPECIAL GUEST STAN WALKER AND DJ NINO BROWN

Following on from the success of two of the largest urban/pop events ever staged in Australia - Winterbeatz and Supafest, Paperchase Touring and Entertainment in association with Jive are thrilled to announce Summerbeatz 2010 featuring record breaking rapper Flo Rida, worldwide chart topping sensation Jay Sean, Grammy nominated sensation Soulja Boy, Gym Class Heroes charismatic frontman Travie McCoy, plus Australia's own Stan Walker, and DJ Nino Brown. With over 4 hours of live music Summerbeatz 2010 promises to heat up the stage with a line-up of some of the world's most popular chart topping musical talent all on one bill. With shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, Summerbeatz promises to deliver an unforgettable pop music experience.

Flo Rida's debut single "Low" smashed records around the world in 2008, and became the most downloaded digital track in history. Beginning his career as a hype man for Fresh Kid Ice of 2 Live Crew, Flo Rida's hard work and journey to success finally paid off. The rapper followed up the worldwide smash hit with the chart-topping singles "Elevator" , "In the Ayer", "Right Round" (another record breaker!), and "Sugar". His latest single "Club Can't Handle Me" featuring DJ-sensation David Guetta is currently sitting at Number 4 on the Aria Charts.

Jay Sean's smash hit single "Down" was one of the biggest selling songs of 2009 selling a staggering 3 million copies in the US alone! Becoming the first UK urban artist to top the US Hot 100, Jay Sean again made history with the release of his second single "Do You Remember" which saw him become the first British artist in recent memory to score two simultaneous US Top 10 singles. The first UK artist to be signed by iconic hip hop imprint Cash Money, the savvy hitmaker, by way of London, already had numerous Top 10 hits in the UK before the success of "Down" saw him rapidly ascend into a bonafide mainstream pop/R&B star of truly global proportions. Jay is currently working on his new album slated for a November release. His brand new single "2012 (This Ain't The End)" features lady of the moment Nicki Minaj and is currently at Australian radio.

Soulja Boy (aka Soulja Boy Tell'em) paved a name for himself with the online music dance craze "Crank That (Soulja Boy)". After creating a stir with the dance and single over the internet, it wasn't long before he came to the attention of hip hop producer Mr. Collipark, which saw him sign a deal with Collipark Records and Interscope. The youngest artist to ever write, perform and produce a number one hit , Soulja Boy proved he was no one-hit wonder releasing two popular albums featuring singles "Yahhh!", "Donk" and "Kiss Me Thru The Phone". The Grammy- nominated artist is about to release his new album 'The DeAndre Way' which will feature collaborations with Gucci Mane, Birdman and Justin Bieber, along with his first novel 'Teenage Millionaire'.

Travie McCoy's smash hit single "Billionaire" is currently sitting at the top of the charts the world over. As the charismatic front-man of Gym Class Heroes, Travie McCoy released his debut solo album "Lazarus" in June 2010. Melding elements of rap, rock, R&B and funk into one cohesive and melodic sound, Gym Class Heroes have diverse appeal based on their impressive music dexterity. With 4 successful albums under their belt as a group, Travie McCoy has stepped into the solo light with his debut single "Billionaire", peaking at #3 on the Australian Aria chart.

In just under a year, Stan Walker has achieved the near impossible; the nineteen year-old singer has evolved from a mere contender, into one of the most refreshing and shining examples of talent the Australian music industry as to offer. Stan's undeniable vocal-gift and engaging boy-next-door charm have already resulted in him successfully releasing a couple of top selling singles (the double Platinum "Black Box" and Gold "Unbroken") and a platinum selling album ("Introducing Stan Walker"). Stan's success so far was noted around the world, and in no time at all offers to work with him on his new album flooded in from around the globe. Stan handpicked only the most suitable collaborators including Ryan Tedder (Beyonce, Leona Lewis), Stuart Chricton (Kylie Minogue, Sugababes) and Audius (Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy). "From The Inside Out" is out now and debuted at Number 2 on the Aria Chart.
