Oh Lorde! Singer crashes own themed party to fans' delight
Kiwi singer Lorde has shocked fans after crashing her own themed party at Sydney club Merv's Underground on Sunday night.
The venue had promoted the event as a celebration of the 28-year-old's upcoming studio album Virgin, or as they put it, 'We're officially in the L4 era, so it's only right we throw a party for our true Lorde and saviour!'
However, fans invited to 'dance (or cry) in the club' were not quite expecting their party queen to show her face — let alone rub sweaty shoulders with them on the dance floor.
But after the Royals singer entered the scene, that's exactly what went down.

The New Zealand-born singer's upcoming 12-track album is set to drop on June 26, featuring single What Was That which was released in April.
This project marks her fourth studio album, and follows her 2021 project Solar Power.
Having emerged as an international party girl in recent years, the singer collaborated with Charli xcx in 2024 as the pair traded empathetic jibes on the British brat's second release of hit Girl, so confusing.

Channing Tatum's Aussie girlfriend models naked in Bali
Inka Williams has no doubt left new boyfriend Channing Tatum lost for words after sharing snaps from an ethereal photoshoot in which she posed naked. The Melbourne-born but Bali-raised model left little to the imagination in a recent dump of stunning images posted to her Instagram. The 25-year-old channelled her inner Greek goddess for the oceanic-themed photoshoot with her long-time friend, photographer Amberly Valentine, behind the camera in the Bali studio. In one photo, Williams went nude with nothing but a sheer, cream sheet of material that was draped over the front of her body and flowed behind her. Another risque image showed the brunette relaxing in water while wearing another sheer outfit that clung to her naked body. Inka Williams' recent photoshoot in Bali. Credit: Supplied Fellow Australians and fans took to the comments section of the post in awe of her beauty. Artist Mahinanani Alexander said: 'Absolutely stunning. You two always make magic🙌😍.' Williams seemingly took influencer Tammy Hembrow's breath away, commenting with the single word: 'Wow.' One fan questioned: 'Is the studio on top of Mount Olympus??' 'These are some of the prettiest photos I've ever seen 😍 obsessed with the shell one,' another fan said. 'The seashell shots are absolutely stunning, but they're all so ethereal, and you look like a goddess,' a third added. Williams has made headlines of late after she was rumoured to be dating Hollywood heavyweight Channing Tatum, who called off his engagement with Zoe Kravitz in October. A few months later, Tatum stepped out with Williams at a pre-Oscars party, which seemingly confirmed the actor had moved on. In April, Williams confirmed the relationship on Instagram by wishing Tatum a happy birthday. 'Happy life to the handsomest, kindest, funniest, stoopidest, most gorgeous human ever !!!' she wrote in an Instagram Story that included nine photos of the couple together. 'Merci for making life beautiful and fun.' She ended her post with some French slang that translates to 'I love you' in English: 'Jtm trop fort.' Williams, who co-founded fashion brand She Is I in 2019, has been modelling since was a baby but turned the hobby into a career at the age of 15. She is signed to IMG Models, which describes Williams as someone who is 'fashion savvy' and has 'chameleon-like flexibility'.

A famous Aussie pub at the centre of Netflix's true crime series Last Stop Larrimah hits the market
An infamous Aussie pub at the centre of an eight-year-old outback mystery and a Netflix series that gripped the world has hit the market. The Larrimah Hotel in the Northern Territory is for sale for the first time since the popular two-part series was released in 2023. The show delved into the disappearance of Paddy Moriarty who was one of town's 12 residents and a regular at the pub when he went missing. The Irish-born 70-year-old was last seen with his red kelpie cross Kellie leaving the Pink Panther Hotel in Larrimah on December 16, 2017. Publican Steve Baldwin bought the pub from Barry Sharpe in 2018 not long after Mr Moriarty went missing. The hotel is located about 500km south of Darwin in the middle of the Northern Territory along the Stuart Highway and is a popular stopover for travellers and tourists keen to know more about the town where Mr Moriarty disappeared. Real estate agent Warren Andrews is selling the property listed for $795,00 saying, 'You have to see it to believe it'. He describes the hotel as everything you would expect and want in a 'true blue Aussie bush pub.' 'From the pink panthers, the giant draught stubble, to the resident emus and crocodiles, this pub is steeped in history and mystique,' he said. Mr Baldwin told NewsWire there was more to the pub's history than the tale about one of its most regular punters disappearing. 'The pub will be 100 years old in five years, it was created during the war by the military and played a big part,' he said. 'We're at the end of the railway line from Darwin, where a lot of troops would come from down from, then go south to Alice Springs and then to Mount Isa and end up back here on the train. 'They built an airstrip here after the bombing in Darwin. 'There were nearly 10,000 people here which is huge, now there is eight.' Mr Baldwin said three of its residents had died since Last Stop Larrimah first aired on Netflix. 'They were all geriatrics,' he said. 'According to Carl, who was in the Netflix show and lived across the road, he reckons there was no beer on tap here for about 30 years,' he said. 'There were taps in the cool room when I got here that weren't being used so we opened the place up and rebuilt the bar.' Mr Baldwin said it was hard to quantify how many visitors passed through the hotel each year but more and more people stopped to find out more about the mysterious town. He said a new gas plant in the Beetaloo Basin was due to start soon which would bring more workers to the region. The pub also comes with two crocodiles called Sneaky Sam and Agro that live out the back of the hotel and are fed by Mr Baldwin. 'We say we are selling the crocs and we'll chuck in the pub,' he said. When asked how much a crocodile was worth, Mr Baldwin replied, '$795,000.' 'I just want to slow down a bit and retire,' he said. 'It's a good opportunity for a low level entry into a good business that has lots of opportunity going forward. 'You don't often get a 100-year-old building here in the tropics, or in the Territory, or one at the centre of a Netflix series, and he still hasn't been found. 'There was a reward of $250,000 to find out what happened to Paddy Moriarty, and in the budget last week the treasurer upped it to $500,000. 'I don't know it will ever be solved, and the old publican has died. 'Fran still lives here, she's 81 years old now, she'll stand on the balcony or come in here and say, 'He's leaving, don't go missing now'.'
