LATEST NEWS…PARIS HILTON'S STAR ATTRACTION: Star Casino's Marquee Club launch attracted celebrities galore from all around the world including Ashley Simpson, Slash, Aussie's Jodi Gordon and Sharni Vinson and her Twilight boyfriend Kellan Lutz and LMFAO members to name a few. However it was serial socialite Paris Hilton who stole the show, mingling with party goers and hitting headlines for various reasons. Hilton was also spotted frolicking around Bondi Beach and shopping in Sydney over the weekend. Almost 1000 celebrity and VIP guests attended the launch while DJ Afrojack and LMFAO's RedFoo performed live at the event. The launch comes on the back of recent troubles within Star Casino over the sacking of former boss Sid Vaikunta. Sydney may be far away from the bright lights and glitzy lifestyle of Hollywood, but that didn't stop the celebs from gathering in their droves. Here's hoping the Club does well…ONE DIRECTION GO GLOBAL: UK and Irish boy band One Direction have gone global with their debut album making American music history by going to number one in the Billboard top 200 chart. The five-piece, who came third in The X Factor UK in 2010, have long tasted success in Europe but the teen heart-throbs have now taken the world by storm. Their debut single "What Makes You Beautiful" was released in November 2011 and peaked at number one in the UK and their debut album followed in November selling 138,631 copies making it the fastest selling debut album on the UK Charts in 2011. The lads will make their Australian debut with a performance at the 2012 Logie Awards in Melbourne on April during their sold out Australian tour. It just goes to show you don't need to win these big talent shows to have success, and I wish the boys every success in the future…RIP JIM STYNES: Jim Stynes has passed away following a three year battle with cancer. The former Melbourne football legend passed away in the comfort of his own home surrounded by family and friends. A State funeral was held in St Pauls Cathedral in Melbourne for the footie legend and a massive crowd gathered at Federation Square to bid a fond farewell to the icon. Stynes was remembered as a generous, loving, and caring man who was a constant inspiration to his family, friends and the public. Debuting in the Australian Football League in 1987, he played a league record of 244 consecutive games between 1987 and 1998. He served as President of the Melbourne Football from 2008, and despite being diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in 2009, he continued to work during his treatment for brain metastasis. RIP a True Football great…BEN COUSINS ON DRUG CHARGES: Former AFL star Ben Cousins is back in Perth after being released on bail following his arrest in Esperance Airport for drug charges. Cousins is best known for his 270 game career with West Coast and Richmond in the Australian Football League. 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. His football career has been marred by highly publicised incidents involving recreational drug use, traffic convictions and association with criminal elements. Cousins stated that he "has nothing to say at this time" to the waiting media at Perth Airport. He was arrested at Esperance Airport after being charged with possession of methylamphetamine with intent to sell or supply…EXTRA PROTECTION FOR COWELL: Simon Cowell has added more bodyguards to his already 24-7 protection team following a break-in to his London home. British newspaper 'The Sun' states that the X Factor boss was confronted by a female intruder wielding a brick when he went to investigate a noise in his home. It is believed that Leanne Zaloumis, 29, of Catford, South East London, was found by armed police hiding on a seven foot shelf in Cowell's wardrobe. Zaloumis appeared in court charged with aggravated burglary with intent of GBH. Luckily no one was harmed in the incident…HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAGA: Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Lady Gaga has recently announced that she will no longer speak to the media during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. 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. Gaga has created some of the most crazed and bizarre media explosions in recent years, be it from outrageous meat dresses or hatching from an egg on the red carpet, the world is going to be a quiet place if she succeeds in her media blackout. Nevertheless the world will watch in anticipation…MEGAN FOX PREGNANT?: According to reports in the USA, actress Megan Fox is expecting her first baby with husband Brian Austin Green. The couple are reportedly thrilled, a source told America's Star magazine "They just found out and are incredibly excited." The source added "It's still early, so they are only telling family members and close friends." The Transformers actress already has some parenting skills as she is stepmother to husband Brian's nine year old son Kassius. Fox and Green married in a private ceremony in Hawaii in June 2010. The insider also added that Fox is thrilled to be expecting a child of her own. "Megan used to only be concerned with her career, but now her family comes first." If the reports are true, a huge congratulations to you both…VICTORIA BECKHAM LIKE YOU AND ME: Victoria Beckham has claimed that her super slim figure matches that of the general public. 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. Mallette is Justin Bieber's mother and the millions of Beliebers around the world have taken to social networking sites to wish her well on her birthday. Raising Bieber as a single mother, she has stood by her son through his whole career and is a driving force behind all his success. Justin's fans seem very grateful with the woman responsible for him with messages like "Happy Birthday Pattie. Thanks for giving birth to the sexiest creature on earth," and more genuine messages like "Happy Birthday Pattie. You've created and raised a beautiful son. He has turned from a boy to a young man. You did a good job." So I'll jump on the bandwagon here Happy Birthday Pattie Mallette…

CANADIAN ROCK BAND THE TREWS RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA FOR A MONTH OF LIVE SHOWS !

Tickets on sale now for Sydney and Melbourne gigs in February and March
- free four track live ep download available for every pre sale ticket purchase -

The 'T' in The Trews could stand for "tireless", the Canadian four-piece returning to Australia for the second time since their September 2010 album release, for a run of dates in Sydney and Melbourne. This month long visit will see them settling into venue residencies in both towns, kicking off at Sydney's Excelsior Hotel on 23rd February. Following a three-week run of shows in Sydney, The Trews then head down to Melbourne and Geelong for a series of dates before returning for a massive tour finale show at The Annandale Hotel on 23rd March.

The Trews' rock troubadour credentials are vast - four albums in seven years, two of them certified gold; ten Top-10 singles, including two chart-toppers; multiple awards, for best single, video and live group; and close to 800 live shows along with support slots for the Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Guns N' Roses and KISS - all testament that this band never rests!

The Trews is comprised of lead vocalist Colin MacDonald; his brother, guitarist John-Angus MacDonald; cousin, drummer Sean Dalton, and long-time friend, bassist Jack Syperek. They have a well-earned reputation for pushing themselves in the studio and onstage, always ready to give an intuitive and intense rock 'n' roll show of songs that have killer hooks. Their live set includes the current single "Not Ready To Go", the #1 Canadian "Rock" single from their Australian debut album, Friends And Total Strangers (Bumstead / Code One).

The band's strong musicianship has been built over years of working together in this original lineup. They formed in 1997 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada when the four were still in high school, and released a self-titled EP. Perennially recognised for their creative output, The Trews are 5x Canadian JUNO Award nominees, and were nominated for Best New Band by SPIN.com and Best New Band by Classic Rock magazine in the UK.

The album Friends And Total Strangers is instore now through MGM, featuring tracks Den of Thieves, Cry and Sweetness, all previously unreleased in Australia. The current single Not Ready To Go is an exclusive re-mix version by mixing engineer Mike Fraser (AC/DC) - the song was a #1 rock radio hit in Canada, and remains a sing along favourite of fans in their live set. The band's follow up long player Hope & Ruin is set for release in Australia on April 15, as a follow up to their live shows.
