Delta shocks commuters with train station piano concert
Jumping on the piano — which was gifted to the station by English composer Andrew Lloyd Webber in late 2024 — the 40-year-old treated onlookers to several hits from her second album Mistaken Identity as she celebrated the project's 20th anniversary.
The album symbolised the star's triumphant re-emergence following a battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at just 18.
Having clearly lost none of her powerful vocal range, the girl who was 'born to try' painted smiles on the faces of travellers as the echoing of classics Wings, Predictable, Hearts on the Run, and other hits rang out through the cavernous concourse.

'Every piano tells a story—and this one's seen some legends. I'm honoured to share a few songs with you while I'm here in the UK.'
With Sir Elton John first gifting a Yamaha piano to the station in 2016, the transient landmark has become a hub for talented stars to ply their craft — including Alicia Keys, Nora Jones, Jeff Goldblum, John Legend, and Sir Rod Stewart.

Peter Martin-Jones, Head of Marketing at London St. Pancras Highspeed, said the Aussie's performance would serve to continue the legacy.

'Our public pianos have become a stage for extraordinary talent and unforgettable moments, and Delta's visit was no exception. It's moments like these that make St. Pancras a unique cultural hub for London, bringing music and joy to all who pass through.'
Dressed in a black leather jacket and pants to contrast with her white heels, some fans may have clocked Goodrem's imposing diamond ring worn since her engagement to Aussie guitarist Matthew Copley in 2023.
However, the talent was not seen complimenting it with the diamond band that she had reportedly rocked during her two sold-out Hackney Empire shows in London earlier this month, which prompted speculation the couple had wedded in secret.

Jessica Mauboy: Aussie singer reveals intimate details of sex life with husband after birth of her baby girl
Aussie songstress Jessica Mauboy welcomed the arrival of her baby girl Mia in January, but the new mother has recently admitted that her sex life has not taken a hit. If anything, she told Kyle & Jackie on Thursday that her desire to get intimate with husband Themeli Magripilis has gone into overdrive. 'I've been quite the opposite,' she told the shock-jocks. 'My ovaries are like, 'Hey girl, you want another one?'' With the radio hosts in stitches, the mother added: 'I'm like, 'well damn, I just gave birth!'' Each parents themselves, Kylie & Jackie O empathised with the mother, who begged her overactive sexual organs to slow down. 'I love that!' Kyle remarked. 'Give mumma time to recover before another one.' 'Please.... give this body.... a moment,' Mauboy joked. The 36-year-old and her husband — who is of Greek heritage — met at a nightclub in Darwin when both were 18. Engaged in 2019, the pair tied the knot in the Top End in 2022 surrounded by friends and family. Fast forward to the early stages of parenthood, Mauboy told Stellar in March that she wasn't sure how much of her personality or physical traits she wanted their Mia to inherit. 'I look at her and it's 'whoa!' because I see myself, that little frown,' Mauboy said. 'I'm not sure I want her to have my personality, because it's rough and it's tough … She's constantly changing every day, another little roll, another crease.' In July, the singer told fans she's got 'new music coming', before releasing her single While I Got Time on August 1. She was inducted into the National Indigenous Music Awards Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Point of order! CFMEU on the lips in Victorian parliament
It is the perennial challenge for any media organisation in 2025 – get the youth to watch, read, subscribe and God forbid, pay for the news. This is a particularly steep challenge for News Corp's prestige national broadsheet, The Australian, whose cantankerous columnists can't seem to figure out why the under-25 set doesn't share their enthusiasm for cool things like negative gearing, the Liberal Party, nuclear energy and Benjamin Netanyahu. To the Murdoch empire's credit, the paper did have a red-hot go at targeting younger readers with the 2022 launch of an online-only, youth spinoff, rather confusingly and unimaginatively called The Oz. Featuring a zoomer-friendly aesthetic, articles on influencers and vapes, and staffed by most of the paper's younger, female journalists (who have now nearly all left), The Oz had the blessings of all the right higher-ups: News Corp chief executive Robert Thomson; executive chair Michael Miller; even the big fella, Lachlan Murdoch, himself. But it was a particular brainchild of former editor-in-chief Chris Dore. That turned out to be a kiss of death when Dore was dumped in late 2023 after allegedly making lewd comments to a woman at a media event in California. In one of her first shots across the newsroom, Dore's successor Michelle Gunn scaled back The Oz to an Instagram-only play, before it eventually disappeared for good. Dore has landed on his feet as editor-in-chief of billionaire Kerry Stokes' The West Australian and his digital-only newspaper, The Nightly. But it looks like The Oz, too, could be due for a comeback of sorts. CBD hears there's been discussion among the strategy folks over at Holt St about resurrecting it, although one insider assured CBD it would not come to pass. As for what any new iteration might look like, well, the influencers are still there and so are the vapes (despite what Health Minister Mark Butler insists). Except now there are also trendy labubus to write about, and the experts say that more young men have conservative views. Hell, why not get the royal family themselves involved. After all, Lachlan's 19-year-old son, Aidan Murdoch, was interning at Holt Street last year. Gift diplomacy If you've ever been nervous about buying the perfect present for the in-laws, imagine the pressure of choosing the perfect party favour for a head of government. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto (a former general with a bespeckled history, to say the least), tried his best in May. He presented Anthony Albanese with a wooden carving of the famed Garuda Statue, according to the PM's parliamentary register update from Wednesday. How generous of him. Depicting a Hindu deity, the actual statue took almost 30 years to complete and is more than 100 metres tall. If that wasn't spiritual enough for you, it's also located in the province of Bali, a sacred spot for all Bintang singlet-wearing, beer-drinking Aussie folk. It's good to see that Subianto has mellowed out since 2024, when he gifted Richard Marles an actual rifle. If Parliament House security aren't happy about metal keep cups entering the building, we can't imagine they'd be pleased with long-barrelled firearms. Subianto also raised eyebrows in Canberra earlier this year when he uploaded a minute-long video of a private call with a newly re-elected Albo. We hear this is a faux pas within world leader circles. Most top dogs want to keep things behind closed doors. As for Albo's trip to the Vatican to meet new Pope Leo XIV, all His Holiness could manage was a carved terracotta plaque. We expected a bit more bling from the Catholic Church.
