How To Dress Like Y2K Pop Diva Addison Rae
If you didn't score tickets to one of Addison Rae's intimate Australian shows, we are so sorry — because this year is all about the Y2K Pop Diva. From TikTok star to pop sensation, we are all obsessed with her rebrand. Not only does her music speak to girlhood in a way that feels healing, but her fashion choices are refreshingly feminine without pandering to the male gaze.
From itty-bitty denim shorts and round-toe pump heels to cropped graphic T-shirts and lingerie-as-outerwear outfits, Addison's retro style is Britney Spears-coded with apparent influences from Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Madonna, and Marylin Monroe — all of whom she names in her song 'Money Is Everything'. The 24-year-old has a knack for Y2K-meets-Old-Hollywood dressing. And it's inspiring our own outfits.
Addison Rae's global tour kicks off in August, with the 'Aquamarine' singer's Australian leg starting in November. This means hotter weather and hotter outfits. To truly channel Addison come spring, get experimental with mismatched looks, Y2K fashion and booty shorts for days. Then, all that's left to do is crack open a Diet Pepsi and 'put your headphones on'.

15 Actors Who Refused To Return For The Sequel And Made A Good Choice, Honestly
Sequels are a funny beast — rarely do they live up to the original movies they're based on, and they can often feel like hollow imitations of what came before. It's no wonder some stars flat-out refuse to do them when they can. Here are a few examples of actors who made a lucky escape... was a huge hit in the '90s, thanks in no small part to Keanu Reeves' charisma in the lead role, and his incredible chemistry with Sandra Bullock, but he turned down the follow-up Speed 2: Cruise Control. He declined after reading the script and deciding it "just wasn't right". His character, Jack, was replaced by an almost identical character named Alex, who was played by Jason Patric. Speed 2: Cruise Control turned out to bomb at the box office and was widely panned by critics, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of only 4% (compared to the first movie's 95%). Related: Weisz was iconic in the role of Evie alongside Brendan Fraser's Rick in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, both of which were mega-hits. But while Brendan Fraser returned for a third movie, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Rachel didn't. There were rumours this was due to her character being aged up to be the mother of an adult son, but she claimed it was primarily because of scheduling conflicts. Maria Bello replaced Rachel in the role of Evie for Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Although it did achieve box office success, it was the lowest earner of the franchise, and a critical flop, with just 13% on Rotten Tomatoes. The planned follow-up was subsequently cancelled. Foster won Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her role as Clarice in The Silence of the Lambs, but she wasn't interested in revisiting the character for the sequel, Hannibal, due partially to scheduling issues but mainly due to creative concerns. Julianne Moore replaced her as Clarice, and while Hannibal was a commercial success, it received mostly negative reviews, and Jodie seemed to have no regrets, later saying "I saw Hannibal. I won't comment." Dreyfuss declined to reprise his Jaws role of Matt Hooper in Jaws 2 because original director Steven Spielberg wasn't returning — and also because of pay concerns. And while Jaws 2 was a hit, it received mixed reviews, with Roger Ebert even calling it "pure trash". Related: Tucker starred alongside Ice Cube in Friday, which was a commercial and critical success, but he didn't reprise his role of Smokey for the sequel Next Friday due to religious reasons — although Ice Cube suggests money was the actual issue. Whatever the reason, he doesn't seem to have regretted his decision. Next Friday, meanwhile, was absolutely panned by critics. Carrey initially agreed to return for a sequel to his hit comedy The Mask, but ultimately walked away after his experience with the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective sequel, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, left him feeling creatively dissatisfied and turned him off to the idea of returning to a character he'd already played. A sequel, Son of the Mask, later went ahead without him, and it was an utter failure at the box office and with critics. Day Care didn't get great reviews from critics, but it was a huge commercial hit. Despite this, star Eddie Murphy opted not to return for the sequel, Daddy Day Camp (in fact, none of the original cast returned). Related: Cuba Gooding Jr took up the mantle as Eddie's character Charlie, but Daddy Day Camp was even more negatively reviewed than its predecessor — earning a measly 1% on Rotten Tomatoes and winning Worst Prequel or Sequel at the Golden Raspberry Awards. before it was an MTV series, Michael J. Fox starred as Scott in quirky comedy Teen Wolf, which was so successful it quickly spawned a sequel, Teen Wolf Too. However, due to reportedly disliking the heavy werewolf makeup and also being busy with other projects, Michael J. Fox declined to return for the sequel. Teen Wolf Too instead focuses on his character's cousin, Todd, who was played by Jason Bateman. It was a complete critical and commercial flop. Day was a blockbuster smash when it was released in 1996, and Will Smith was a key part of that success in the role of Captain Steve Hiller. It took twenty years for a sequel to appear in Independence Day: Resurgence, and despite several original cast members returning, Will declined due to scheduling conflicts and salary concerns. Resurgence was a box office disappointment and failed to impress critics, earning 29% on Rotten Tomatoes. Even returning star Vivica A. Fox acknowledged afterwards that she didn't think the movie was good, and that "we missed out by not bringing Will Smith back". Davis starred opposite Jeff Goldblum in The Fly, which was a commercial and critical hit, but she refused to return for the sequel when the script had her character, Veronica, dying in childbirth in the first act. She was replaced by Saffron Henderson, and while the movie was moderately successful at the box office, it is pretty widely hated by fans and critics alike. paparazzi images revealed Kristen Stewart allegedly having an affair with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, both were let go from the franchise — although Kristen was offered a cameo in the sequel, Snow White and the Huntsman: Winter's War, which she turned down. Related: Jessica Chastain joined the franchise as the wife of Chris Hemsworth's character, the titular Huntsman, but the movie was a letdown for fans and critics, not to mention at the box office. Kristen Stewart later said, "Thank God" she wasn't in it. Macauley Culkin and the other lead cast members returned for Home Alone sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, he was taking a break from acting by the time Home Alone 3 was in the works. The movie shifted focus from Macauley's character Kevin to a kid called Alex, who was played by Alex D. Linz. While Home Alone 3 didn't completely flop, it didn't reach the heights of the first two movies, and it's not remembered very fondly compared to the originals. Lee Curtis shot to stardom as Laurie Strode in Halloween and its sequel Halloween II, but she bailed on the franchise and its many, many sequels for nearly two decades after that because she didn't want that one role or genre to define her. While she did return to the series and several of its movies in her later career, with varying degrees of success, the declining quality of the intervening movies suggested she made the right choice early on. Schwarzenegger declined to reprise his role of Dutch in Predator 2, the sequel to Predator, due to a salary dispute. Although later movies in the franchise did well, Predator 2 itself wasn't very well received and was the lowest-grossing movie in the series. finally, Brendan Fraser didn't return to the titular role of George of the Jungle for the sequel, George of the Jungle 2 because, he says, the studio was "too cheap" to hire him. He was replaced by Christopher Showerman, and the sequel ended up going direct to video and completely underwhelmed audiences and the few critics who bothered with it.

Who Is The New Australian Survivor Host?
The Tribe has spoken: Jonathan LaPaglia will not be returning as the Australian Survivor host in 2026. The presenter has been at the helm of the reality TV show since its revival on Channel 10 in 2016, and he has called his axing an "epic blindside". The much-loved TV personality will be returning to ask scathing questions at Tribal for one last season, as Survivor: Australia V World has already been filmed. Watching the new seasons of Australian Survivor without LaPaglia is now going to be bittersweet, after all, he has been hosting the show for a decade. So why was LaPaglia axed from Australian Survivor, and who will be replacing him as the new Australian Survivor host? Why was Jonathan LaPaglia axed? Jonathan LaPaglia shared an emotional post on Instagram revealing he was "blindsided" by Channel 10's decision to replace him, and claimed the decision was made due to low ratings. " Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all... because it happened to me. I received a call from the network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show but for next season they are 'going in a different direction'. Ratings had dipped a bit recently and they wanted to do something drastic to shake things up. So for the first time ever this is not a tribe swap, but a host swap," he said. "I wish I could say, 'Before we go to vote, tonight is a little different... no one's going home'. But I can't. None of that non-elim bulls**t tonight! Someone is going home. And with no idol in my back pocket, that someone is me." He told fans not to worry, because Survivor: Australia V World is the "best season ever", with popular Australian players like Shonee Bowtell and Kirby Bentley facing off against Survivor US legends Parvati Shallow and Cirie Fields. "It has been one of the greatest adventures of my career to helm Australian Survivor, so it is without a doubt the hardest challenge of all to snuff my own torch," he said. "PS. Whoever said a blindside is the most humane way to put someone down is an idiot. It hurts like a bitch!" Who will be the next Australian Survivor host? Channel 10 confirmed they will be announcing the new Australian Survivor host soon, and thanked Jonathan LaPaglia for all his work on the previous series. "JLP has brought a unique blend of authority, intelligence and empathy to his role as host of Australian Survivor over the last 10 years. Acting as a referee and managing the intense pressure of the game while also acknowledging the human drama unfolding, JLP has been a compelling and memorable figure in the world of Survivor," a Channel 10 spokesperson said in an online statement. "We look forward to JLP hosting the next epic instalment of Survivor: Australia V World coming soon to 10... we will be making an announcement shortly about who will take over hosting duties for the 2026 season of Australian Survivor." According to Daily Mail, David Genat is set to take over LaPaglia's hosting duties in 2026. Genat previously won Australian Survivor: All Stars and will be competing on Survivor: Australia V World, airing later this year. "He doesn't fit the brief," one production insider claimed. "He's charismatic, sure — but Survivor needs someone with gravitas. David is not Jonathan, and viewers will notice that." Australian Survivor contestants have been sharing their disappointment over the news on social media, but Shonee Bowtell took it to a new level when she photoshopped her baby Vally in an Australian Survivor buff as a tribute to Jonathan LaPaglia on her Instagram Story. "Vally was really looking forward to playing with JLP," she joked, while also saying her child would be "socially diplomatic" when playing, but also a "backstabber". In another Instagram post, Bowtell called the decision "rude" and said she would be playing Irreplaceable by Beyoncé for LaPaglia. Perhaps that could become the new Australian Survivor theme song?
