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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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…

THE TREWS TOURING AUSTRALIA!

Acclaimed Canadian rock band The Trews are once again gracing Australian shores for a run of dates through NSW, SA, VIC and QLD over the coming weeks. The Trews wowed Australian audiences with their dynamic live shows earlier this year, when they played a string of packed out residencies in Sydney and Melbourne. East Coast music lovers were shown exactly why The Trews are one of Canada's premier live music acts, with the band delivering show after show of flawless rock.

The four-piece outfit released their fourth studio album "Hope & Ruin" Bumstead/Code One (MGM) in Australia last month and have secured extensive airplay with the title track across the Triple M network nationally and Music Max. The powerful single "Hope & Ruin" was also synched for a major network promotion that aired for the month of May on Network Ten's digital channel ONE. On the American release of "Hope & Ruin", Performer Magazine hailed the band as "… without a doubt, the greatest rock band of their generation". US music website Alternative Addiction shared a similar sentiment, saying that "The band is too good for fans of great music not to enjoy", and promising fans that they will "… find songs on this album that you'll love for years…". Australian rock website Sludge Factory recently raved about The Trews' record and live performances, saying that "Hope & Ruin is an album of love, loss, redemption and faith. It is very polished and translates well from the kick-ass recent live show I saw them play at The Sando in Sydney".

The Trews, who have toured with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses and KISS, are one of Canada's hardest working and best-loved bands. They have claimed two Gold certified albums and, with "Hope & Ruin", a huge eleven Top 10 singles including two chart -toppers. Fresh from touring their home turf with Kid Rock, The Trews are back to their 'second home'. Be sure to catch The Trews in action, for a truly jaw-dropping live music experience!

"HOPE & RUIN" is available online and from all good record stores NOW! For more information, head to www.thetrewsmusic.com or check out www.bumstead.com/the_trews.html
