Tones and I doesn't look like this anymore! Dance Monkey hitmaker unveils VERY sexy new look following her dramatic weight loss
The Dance Monkey hitmaker - real name Toni Watson - posed for a mirror selfie on Friday to show off a fresh set of long, thick hair extensions.
She also flaunted her impressive weight loss in a figure-hugging black top tucked into an unbuttoned pair of jeans.
The star also appears to be experimenting with 60s-inspired glam, a departure from her barely-there makeup style.
Tones also flaunted recent weight loss in a white mini skirt when she made a surprise appearance on stage with Cyndi Lauper at the Rod Laver Arena in April.
She thrilled her hometown crowd as she joined Lauper for a soulful rendition of 1984 classic, Time After Time.
The Dance With Me songstress was an unexpected guest for the show, which was part of Lauper's farewell tour.
In August 2024, the singer addressed her dramatic transformation during an interview with Cosmopolitan Australia.
'I've lost weight, so apparently that's the biggest thing that's ever happened to me in my life,' Tones said sarcastically.
'Everything is up for discussion. My body shape, my music, my livelihood, my relationship. I wish I could say that I could be someone where that doesn't affect me.
'But it does. Especially when like, my nanna, my family – they can see everything,' she added.
Tones explained her decision to embrace a more feminine style.
'I'm not a tomboy, I'm a girly girl and I always have been,' she said.
'But I didn't feel comfortable in myself and my body, so I covered myself up.'
Tones and I's introduction to the music industry is the stuff of mythology.
She was discovered busking on a Byron Bay street corner with her Casio keyboard.
The singer had been living out of a van for two years prior to being offered a record deal.

Where the winners of The Biggest Loser are now – from criticising show to putting ALL of their weight back on
THEY dropped jaw-dropping amounts of weight on The Biggest Loser - but what happened after the cameras stopped rolling? The reality show that promised life-changing transformations has been hit with controversy as a new Netflix doc teases the harsh training, extreme diets and the hidden toll on contestants' mental health. 11 11 The show ran for 18 gruelling seasons until 2016, with contestants battling it out over 30 weeks to shed the most pounds. The winner earned the title of 'the biggest loser' - and the glory that came with it. From day one, it was a smash hit, capturing millions of viewers who couldn't get enough of the dramatic weight-loss journeys and nail-biting finales. For nearly two decades, it became a cultural phenomenon, sparking conversations about fitness, fame and the cost of transformation. But former stars have opened up about the physical and emotional battles they faced long after the cameras stopped rolling - with some struggling to keep the weight off, and others revealing the dark side of fame. A brand-new Netflix three-part docuseries, Fit for TV: The Reality Behind The Biggest Loser, lifts the lid on the show's lightning-fast rise to fame. It's a raw, eye-opening look behind the scenes, told straight from the mouths of those who lived through the drama. But where are the winners now? Have they kept the weight off, or has life after the spotlight been just as tough? Ryan Benson 11 Ryan made history as The Biggest Loser's first-ever champ, dropping a whopping 122lbs. Just days after the cameras stopped rolling, Ryan told Time he piled back on 32lbs in just FIVE days simply by drinking water. By 2017, he confessed to TooFab he was actually two pounds heavier than at his heaviest back in 2004. These days, Ryan's turned things around, back on his fitness grind and, according to his Instagram bio, 'doing my best to live a healthy life' - while also sharing sweet snaps with his family. He recently spoke out about the gruelling routines he had to endure on the show, telling People: 'It hurt to do anything when you'd wake up in the morning. It was definitely tough for me. I was lucky I never got hurt or injured myself.' Ryan said contestants were 'set up to fail' and 'exploited' for entertainment value, with extreme methods used to speed up weight loss for the cameras. He recalled: 'Doctors tested our urine the day of our last weigh-in, and they told me there was blood in mine because I was so dehydrated. My wife was so mad at me, she said 'Nothing is worth this'.' Danny Cahill 11 Danny shed a jaw-dropping 239lbs in just seven months to win The Biggest Loser Season 8 — one of the most dramatic transformations the show had ever seen. 'I've got my life back,' he said at the time. 'I mean, I feel like a million bucks.' In 2016, Danny told ABC News: 'I did feel like a million bucks for a couple years. I kept the weight off completely… I was working out two hours a day and riding my bike all over town. Once that stopped, the weight started creeping back on.' Indeed, Danny has now regained all of the weight he lost on the show, and is open about his struggles in the new documentary. He's also an author, musician, and land surveyor - and happily married, often sharing loved-up snaps with his wife on Instagram. Ali Vincent 11 Ali made history in 2008 as the first woman to ever win The Biggest Loser, dropping an incredible 112lbs during Season 5. 'Nearly half of me had vanished,' she wrote in an essay for The Weigh We Were. After her win, Ali penned a book, Believe It, Be It, and fronted her own show, Live Big With Ali Vincent. But years later, Ali admitted she'd regained the weight she lost. 'I swore I would never be there again,' she posted on Facebook in 2016. 'I couldn't imagine a day again that I would weigh over 200lbs. I feel ashamed. I feel embarrassed. I feel overwhelmed. I feel like a failure.' That same year, she opened up to Oprah about the personal trauma she believes led to her weight gain. Now, Ali is in a far happier place, living life with her wife and their children. Her Instagram bio reads: "Living the dream! I know I'll never be that perfect mom but I also know I'll be perfect at attempting to be!" Jeremy Britt 11 Jeremy smashed records when he shed a jaw-dropping 199lbs to be crowned The Biggest Loser - becoming the youngest-ever winner at just 23. The Michigan lad competed alongside his sister Conda, and told the Daily News in 2012 they were both committed to staying healthy for life. 'Keeping up with all the stuff we learned throughout the show — there's not an end goal anymore,' he said. 'The end goal is being healthy for the rest of our lives.' These days, he looks unrecognisable — leaner than ever — and juggles life as a dad, husband and aspiring chef. Now Executive Sous Chef at The Buttermilk Ranch, Jeremy regularly shares adorable family snaps on Instagram, from beach days to fun outings with his kids. Helen Phillips 11 Helen made history as The Biggest Loser's oldest-ever champ — and the contestant to drop the most weight, an incredible 140lbs. She said: "I feel like I can do anything," and she's only put 18lbs back on since her win. Now, 61, she dedicates her time to tackling childhood obesity. According to the Times, she wakes up at 4:30 in the morning, hits the gym for two hours and visits two more times before the day is done. Helen has also been open about undergoing plastic surgery to remove excess skin, sharing her journey in a candid video for fans. Patrick House 11 Patrick is still in top form — weighing just 16lbs more than when he won The Biggest Loser — and now focused on building muscle. The Season 10 champ, who shed a staggering 181lbs — 45% of his body weight — has since run multiple races, including three Boston Marathons, and works closely with overweight teens to inspire their own transformations. Patrick also penned the book As Big as a House and spends much of his time travelling the US for motivational speaking gigs and public appearances. 'I travel the country doing motivational speaking engagements and appearances,' he said, encouraging others to chase their own goals. Olivia Ward Olivia stunned fans in Season 11 with one of the show's most dramatic transformations — dropping from 261lbs to just 129 to be crowned The Biggest Loser. Now only 10lbs heavier, she's kept the weight off and built a career as a health guru, appearing regularly on The Dr. Drew Show alongside her sister Hannah. These days, Olivia is a master instructor at SoulCycle in Atlanta and a proud mum, often sharing her healthy lifestyle on Instagram. She also co-founded CounterBalance — a three-month intensive wellness programme — with Hannah, helping others transform their bodies and minds. Toma Dobrosavljevic 11 Toma was on top of the world after winning Season 16 in 2015, telling Us Weekly: 'I feel incredible.' The former soccer star from Addison, Illinois, shed a jaw-dropping 171lbs — dropping from 336lbs to just 165lbs — to scoop the grand prize in the show's all-athlete season. But a year later, in 2016, Toma revealed on Facebook that a calf injury had caused his weight to creep back up. Still, he's managed to keep the bulk of the weight off and has even landed endorsement deals with Planet Fitness and proving his transformation is still paying off. Rachel Frederickson 11 Rachel made headlines as one of The Biggest Loser's most dramatic transformations — shedding a staggering 155lbs, or 60% of her body weight, to take the crown. But her finale appearance at just 105lbs sparked concern from fans, with some saying she looked 'too thin.' She told Today that the criticism affected her self-esteem, saying, "It was absolutely healthy weight loss. I dieted and exercised and did it healthy the whole way." Since then, Rachel has put around 20lbs back on, settling into a healthier balance after her whirlwind weight-loss journey. She told Us Weekly: "I've gone up about 20 pounds. I think I'm at my perfect weight! I work out an hour, six days a week. I love classes like SoulCycle. I also loosely count calories, but sometimes I might eat an Oreo. It's not the end of the world." However, Rachel hasn't been pictured in years so it remains unknown how her current weight journey is going.

Chris Hemsworth's Centr app shuts down Melbourne HQ and sacks 15 staff after $100m sale to Jeff Bezos's brother
Chris Hemsworth's wellness empire is slimming down after his fitness app Centr has officially closed its Melbourne headquarters, as the company shifts the bulk of its operations to the United States. The move comes just over a year after the actor, 42, sold the app for a reported $100m to HighPost Capital, a private equity firm co-founded by Mark Bezos - the brother of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos. A spokesperson for Centr confirmed that the Melbourne office will no longer operate, and only a few Australian employees will remain on board in remote roles. The spokesperson said: 'As Centr continues to scale globally, we've made the strategic decision to consolidate operations in the US to improve operational and geographic efficiency.' 'This transition affects 15 roles, with a few team members continuing remotely as part of the US–based team. Centr remains focused on continued growth across its digital platform, performance–grade equipment, and global partnerships.' Nick Robinson, Centr's digital general manager, added that the company planned to 'continue to drive towards business goals' through 'streamlining operations' and hiring top talent in the US. It's the second wave of job cuts to hit the Australian team in just over a year, after a previous round of layoffs saw around 20 roles slashed. Until recently, the Melbourne office served as Centr's hub for content creation, customer service, and sales and marketing for Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. Daily Mail understands all 23 remaining staff in the Melbourne office were summoned to a meeting and informed it would be their final day with the company. One senior creative, who is currently five months pregnant, took to LinkedIn and claimed she was given no warning before being told her role was being terminated immediately. The brutal timing of the layoffs also raised eyebrows given Chris has been spotted vacationing in Spain with wife Elsa Pataky and their children in recent weeks. It comes just a month after former Centr CEO Zsofi Paterson departed the company and announced she had taken up a new role with children's photo–sharing startup Tinybeans. Chris launched Centr in 2019, leveraging his global fame and shredded physique to attract subscribers to the platform, which offers high-intensity workouts, meal plans, meditation routines, and wellness tips. The app charges $119 annually or $20 per month and still prominently features Chris in marketing campaigns, despite his reduced involvement in the day-to-day running of the business. When it was acquired by HighPost Capital, owned by David Moross and Mark Bezos, the company moved its headquarters to Los Angeles but kept a team in Melbourne. In April 2022, Chris told his 54 million social media followers that he was 'thrilled' Centr had been acquired by Mark Bezos. At the time of the sale, a Centr representative said Chris would keep an active role in the company and that he was still a major shareholder. The company's website retains the actor's image as founder and carries his endorsement. It reads: 'As one of Hollywood's leading men, Chris is known for diverse roles that require serious physical transformations.' 'He attributes much of his success to his team of world-class experts in fitness, nutrition and wellness. With Centr, his team is now your team.'

Is this The Block's worst bathroom reno ever? Judge brands disaster transformation an 'upmarket abattoir' in savage takedown
The Block's bathroom week came to a jaw-dropping end on Sunday night - and for one couple, it was an absolute bloodbath. Britt and Taz Etto, a married pair of cops from House 3, were left humiliated during Room Reveals when their bathroom was savaged by the judges. In a brutal spray, Marty Fox compared it to an 'upmarket abattoir' and referenced American Psycho. The couple had endured a chaotic week riddled with construction disasters, tile mishaps and last-minute panics. But nothing could prepare them for what was to come. Upon stepping into the finished space, real estate expert Marty didn't mince words. 'This looks like something out of American Psycho,' he said, stunned by the stark and clinical design choices. 'It's an upmarket abattoir.' The savage critique stunned viewers and left Britt and Taz visibly shaken. Their attempt at a modern, luxe aesthetic backfired spectacularly, with the judges describing the space as cold, uninviting and unsettling. Things had already gone off the rails early in the week for the House 3 couple. Their stone vanity arrived without pre-drilled holes for the tapware, sending Taz scrambling for help. Enter the Cursio brothers from next door. Adrian Cursio, not technically assigned to their house, offered to drill the 40mm stone - but not before shouting, 'This is at your own risk, no responsibility is taken just for the record!' Remarkably, the risky manoeuvre paid off. But then came another disaster - timber was missing from their shower screen frame, forcing the couple to rip into the freshly plastered wall to reinforce it before installing their curved glass door. Despite the producers repeatedly playing footage of shattered shower screens from previous seasons, Britt and Taz managed to install their custom fluted glass without a hitch Despite the producers repeatedly playing footage of shattered shower screens from previous seasons, Britt and Taz managed to install their custom fluted glass without a hitch. Meanwhile, House 1's Emma and Ben took a bold swing with a maroon-hued bathroom that was immediately embraced by the judges. 'This is bold but not tacky. It's rich,' Darren Palmer said, calling the look 'mid-century western'. Marty praised the design as 'sophisticated and interesting', while Shaynna Blaze gave the space a mostly positive review - only criticising the bathrobes hung on the back of the door. 'They have nailed the look and the brief of high-end Daylesford. This is stunning,' Marty added. Over in House 2, Han and Can - assisted by Tommy for the week - stunned the judges with their daring orange resin bath and luxurious layout. 'Holy f**k,' Marty exclaimed upon entry. 'It's a punch in the face with a velvet glove,' Darren joked, loving the details and planning throughout the space. While Shaynna questioned the colour of the wall panelling and towel placement, the judges were otherwise blown away. 'You needed to find your direction, and in this room, you have,' she said.
