Addison Rae is touring down under – here's what you need to know
The 24-year-old will perform in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney between November 11 and 17 as part of her first-ever world tour – The Addison Tour – which will also see her travel across North America and Europe before the end of the year.
The pop star will perform tracks from her debut album Addison, which was released earlier this month and landed at No.4 on the Billboard Top 200 and No.2 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Her music has been widely praised, with critics applauding her ability to nod to pop icons like Madonna and Kylie Minogue, yet still establish her own 'hazy, twilight, cosmopolitan cool' sound.
Rae's rapid ascent to pop stardom has been surprising to some given her origins on TikTok. Before releasing her album, she was largely known for posting cute choreographed dance routines on social media – videos that were so well-received, they earned her over 88.5 million TikTok followers. She was also known as Kourtney Kardashian's friend, and even featured in some episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
However, the tides began to turn once she released her EP AR in August 2023, which featured none other than Brat Summer queen Charli XCX. From there, she appeared on stage alongside Charli and Aussie pop prince Troye Sivan, and even featured on one of Charli's tracks (even if you're not a fan of dance-pop, you've still likely heard Rae's piercing scream at the beginning of Von Dutch Remix).
This catapulted Rae (who was born in Louisiana, just two hours away from the hometown of Britney Spears) from ring lights to stage lights, and led her to release a string of mega-successful singles like Diet Pepsi and Aquamarine, the former of which became her first song to hit the Billboard Hot 100.
Since releasing her album on June 6, Rae has been described as the 'new pop powerhouse' and 'pop music's newest it girl'.
No stranger to the camera, she has also performed several times on-screen, including in Netflix's He's All That and Eli Roth's horror film Thanksgiving, which also starred Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy). She was also recently cast in the R-rated live-action hybrid Animal Friends opposite A-list actors like Ryan Reynolds, Jason Momoa, Dan Levy and Aubrey Plaza.

‘They're starting to pull back and are less committed to her brand': Netflix ‘don't know what to do' with Meghan Markle
Netflix are reportedly 'slowly pulling back' from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry despite agreeing to a new 'first look' deal with the Sussexes. The Sussexes recently rolled over to a new 'first look' deal with the streaming giant following the expiration of their five year, $100 million contract. That contract produced the wildly popular Harry and Meghan 'docu-series' spilling royal secrets, but subsequent projects like Polo disappeared without a trace. Under the terms of the updated deal, Netflix has first run at any Sussex projects in the pipeline but is under no obligation to green light or fund Harry and Meghan's ideas. Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks, who said earlier this year that he declined an offer to work on Markle's cooking series, believes Netflix will struggle to utilise the Sussexes. 'I think Netflix will get to a point where they won't know what to do with her anymore and she might end up in an office job at Netflix headquarters,' he told the Express newspaper on Thursday. The TV chef also speculated that Meghan's decision to focus on the cooking and lifestyle space may end up limiting her career prospects. 'She won't stray from cooking, and Netflix along with other investors have invested heavily in her and her lifestyle brand (As Ever),' he said. 'Netflix's recent temporary contract extension, which is paid per show, suggests they're starting to pull back and are less committed to her brand than they were a few years ago. 'It seems to me that Netflix is placing a few more bets now, hoping to recover some of the money they've lost…. Netflix are a powerhouse, they can take the hit financially.' The warning comes after Netflix dropped the 'season two' trailer for With Love, Meghan. In the trailer, Markle showed a glimpse of her upcoming celebrity guests, including the likes of celebrity guru Jay Shetty and model Chrissy Teigen. While the timing of the trailer appeared to show the streamer's confidence in the Duchess of Sussex, those episodes were actually already in the can and were shot back-to-back with the first season last year. It is understood the first original project under the Sussexes' new deal will be a Christmas-themed special entitled With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.

Charlie Sheen promises 'nothing' is off limits for Netflix documentary
Charlie Sheen has insisted "nothing" is off limits for his new Netflix documentary. The Two And A Half Men actor - who has been open about his well documented personal issues and addiction battles over the years - will delve into his personal life like never before for director Andrew Renzi's two-part series aka Charlie Sheen. In a teaser trailer, the 59-year-old star is asked if anything is banned from discussions, and replies: "Nothing." Elsewhere in the video announcing the project - which will hit Netflix on September 10 - Charlie described his shame as "suffocating". He said: "When you got a lot of shame about a lot of stuff... Shame is suffocating... "I lit the fuse, you know, and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be." The former Hollywood bad boy claimed he will reveal details in the documentary that he had promised never to speak about in public. He added: "The stuff that I plan on sharing, I had made a sacred vow to only reveal to a therapist." Meanwhile, at one point Charlie tearfully reflects on how his past behaviour must have impacted his dad, actor Martin Sheen. He admitted: "I can't imagine being my dad. I really hurt the people I love." A host of talking heads have been tapped up for the programme, including Denise Richards, Heidi Fleiss, Jon Cryer, Sean Penn, Ramon Estevez, Brooke Mueller, Chris Tucker, and Charlie's drug dealer Marco. The synopsis reads: "aka Charlie Sheen tracks his upbringing in Malibu to his effortless rise to megastardom — and dramatic fall, all within the public eye. "With a stunning clarity earned through seven years of sobriety, Sheen openly speaks about the subjects and events he's never discussed publicly before." The docu-series also promises "extraordinarily candid interviews with his family, friends, and cast members". The Netflix preview continues: "The most outrageous moments of Sheen's life are revisited with raw emotion and exceptional warmth, painting a portrait of a flawed man whose penchant for self-destruction is ultimately no match for the ferocious love and forgiveness he inspires in those closest to him.'

Spooky new Aussie mystery will have you hooked
A little spooky, a little mysterious and a lot of intrigue - Playing Gracie Darling is the next Aussie show to have you hooked. We open with a group of teens playing with a ouija board in a dark old shack. They seem to be conversing with a spirit of some sort, before one of them starts seizing. Cut to 30 years later, and those teens have grown up. Well, all except one, who's been missing since 1994 - Gracie Darling. Joni (Morgana O'Reilly, The White Lotus) is now a child psychologist, and she's called back to her old hometown when another Darling girl goes missing. She speaks with a girl who was with the missing Darling that night, and finds out they had been 'playing Gracie Darling' - a Talk To Me-esque game where local bored teens attempt to summon the spirit of the missing teenager from three decades ago. Coming back into town brings up a lot of memories for Joni, especially when she's around all her old friends, including Jay (Rudi Dharmalingam), who is now a police officer. The show is well-acted, well-paced and has a solid heaping of intrigue to keep you on your toes and desperate to get to the next episode. You'll also spend each episode wondering if this show is actually supernatural or if the paranormal activity is all in their heads? The cast also includes Harriet Walter, Celia Pacquola, Annie Maynard and Dan Spielman. Like The Last Anniversary, Playing Gracie Darling is also set around the Hawkesbury River, which is turning into quite the filming destination for Aussie TV. Netflix's altogether ookiest show is back with the return of Jenna Ortega's Wednesday. Four episodes have been released, constituting the first half of the second season; the rest is set to drop on September 3. This time around Wednesday's younger brother Pugsley (a significantly taller Isaac Ordonez) is joining her at Nevermore Academy, and parents Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzman) are sticking around too. There's several new faces this year, starting with Principal Dort (a spritely Steve Buscemi), Wednesday superfan Agnes (an impressive Evie Templeton), new music teacher Miss Capri (Billie Piper) and Grandmama (a delightful Joanna Lumley). There's also plenty of appearances from familiar faces like Christopher Lloyd (who was Fester Addams in the 90s), Thandiwe Newton, Heather Matarazzo, Anthony Michael Hall, Haley Joel Osment and Frances O'Connor. While this season still has plenty of panache and the casting and performances are all perfect (especially Fred Armisen as Fester, who is the high point of this first half of the season), Wednesday is suffering from a style-over-substance issue. Perhaps because we only get part of the season, the narrative feels much weaker than it did in the show's dynamic debut, and some storylines seem to distract from rather than flesh out the core plot. There's nothing here that's as instantly iconic as Wednesday's season one dance sequence, but there are fun sequences still. One of the best moments of this half season is Miss Capri and Morticia's beautiful campfire duet of Bad Moon Rising. If you've seen Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, then you basically already know this story. The crime drama lifted liberally from the details of this real-life heist for its lacklustre sequel, but reality is more interesting than fiction here. This doco covers the heist of at least $100 million worth of diamonds and other valuables from the diamond district in Antwerp in 2003. It's a fascinating case, told through unobtrusive reenactments and interviews with police who investigated the case, and even one of the criminals involved. As much a study of the crime itself as a character piece on one of the Italian men behind the heist (it is fascinating to watch him edit the story in real time to make himself less complicit), Stolen: Heist of the Century is a great way to pass an hour and a half. It's genuinely hard to believe this crime, which feels highly cinematic in nature, was actually commited. Outlander fans rejoice! The beloved epic romance series' spin-off Blood of My Blood has arrived on Stan. The series serves as a prequel to Jamie and Claire's story, and follows their respective parents' love stories. Episodes are dropping weekly. AppleTV+'s comedy series with Seth Rogen and Aussie Rose Byrne, Platonic, is back for season two, with episodes arriving weekly. In the mood for some Spanish black comedy? HBO Max has Rage, a show following five middle-aged women reaching their limits. Over on Prime Video you'll find a new buddy (kinda) cop comedy, The Pickup with Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson.
