Katy Perry shocks fans as she admits to undergoing cosmetic procedure as soon as she landed in Australia ahead of national tour
Katy Perry made a candid confession as she opened her Lifetimes Tour in Sydney on Wednesday night.
The American pop superstar, 40, told fans while performing on stage that she had Botox done after landing in Australia.
Katy started by complaining about jet lag and her daughter Daisy waking her up at 5am every morning.
'But you can't tell I'm tired because I got fresh Botox for Australia!' she declared.
Concertgoers also burst into laughter when Katy called her assistant on-stage to unzip her costume 'because I've been eating too many Tim Tams'.

Katy kicked off her massive month-long tour in Australia with her first show at Qudos Bank Arena.
The singer also shared a touching moment with her fans when she invited a group of young admirers on stage to sing Thinking Of You with her.
Alongside the delighted fans was one boy in a shark costume, a callback to Katy's viral Left Shark moment, which involved a 'shark' dancing at Perry's Super Bowl halftime show in 2015.
The global Lifetimes tour - which has been the subject of mockery and memes online - went off without a hitch on Wednesday.
At one stage, Katy knelt down at the front of the stage to thank a fan for 'waiting for five hours' to secure a spot at the front of the arena.
Katy stunned in an array of outfits throughout the set, which revisits hits throughout her career.
She donned a futuristic leotard and thigh high boots at one stage, before changing into a red look with silver boots.
The I Kissed A Girl hitmaker has been out and about in Sydney since touching down this week.
On Wednesday, she posted a video on Instagram showing her feeding a tiger at Sydney Zoo in the middle of the night.
Katy is performing three shows in Sydney, bringing all of her iconic hits as well as some of her new tracks from her latest album 143, to Qudos Bank Arena on June 4, 9 and 10.
Tickets to the pop icon's tour, which has received an onslaught of criticism over the last few months, have been in high demand, with the Roar hitmaker announcing two extra shows on the Australian run to accommodate all of her fans.
Taking to Instagram in February, Katy revealed that she added an extra show at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on June 4 to kick off the Australian leg, as well as an extra Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena on June 7.
Katy will now play a hefty 15 Australian shows.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori doubles down and reposts nude photo online after calls for 'public indecency arrest'
Bianca Censori has doubled down and reshared another nude photo after setting pulses raising last week. The Australian-born wife of rapper Kanye West left very little to the imagination when she shared a trio of racy photos to Instagram. Posted without comment, the trio of photos showed Censori, 30, leaving very little to the imagination in a pair of sheer pantyhose and a see-through black fishnet top. She finished her racy ensemble with a pair of glittering silver kitten-toe heels that featured a contrasting black lace-up design. The raven haired beauty left her long, jet black tresses down and, in addition to having wispy fringe covering her face, she finished her barely-there look with a pair of dark sunglasses. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Bizarrely, Censori deleted one of the three photos, only to reupload the racy image on Friday. Despite the eye-popping display being a 're-run', the image sent her 496,000 followers into a frenzy. Summing up the sentiment of many, one fan chimed in with a swooning: 'sure, I'll look at it again.' One eagle-eyed follower however was quick to point out the repetition with: 'Post a new pic or sum sheeesh or are u having another glitch moment?' It comes after Censori showed off her derriere in another X-rated snap, channelling her husband's ex-wife Kim Kardashian last month. She also faced backlash after baring her breasts in a see-through top, much like her most recent post during a public outing in Spain with the rapper. The 30-year-old wandered from stall to stall wearing a black fish net bra top with her nipples in full view while visiting the booths of an outdoor market in Mallorca. Locals were 'left horrified' as the couple walked through the market in the revealing ensemble. 'People were horrified. They could be heard asking "is that her real nipple?" as they walked by,' one witness told 'Kanye was standing back a little, letting her browse the market.' Despite the backlash, women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law. Spanish officials have enforced rules that allow women to sunbathe topless in public without fear of arrest, according to the Daily Record. Authorities can be fined up to £430,000 [$900,000 AUD] if they prevent women from going topless. However, Bianca's revealing look has been deemed ''inappropriate' and many have slammed her look. 'Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' one person asked. 'We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views.' 'How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non - celeb tried it, they would be arrested,' another asked. Censori has been married to West since December 2022 and, most recently, the pair have been entangled in rumours of marital woes. Following West's unhinged and offensive social media rants, they were reported to have called it quits for a bit before reuniting again in Spain. West's ex-wife Kardashian - whom he was married to from 2014 to 2022 - has also reportedly been 'going through hell' and has strengthened her security for her children in the aftermath. West and Kardashian share four kids — daughters North, 11, Chicago, six, and sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, five.

AFL WAG turned designer Rebecca Judd recruits 11-year-old daughter Billie into the family influencer career
Rebecca Judd is proving that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as she recruits her daughter Billie into the world of influencing. On Thursday, the 42-year-old AFL WAG enlisted the help of her daughter, 11, to make several sponsored posts to her Instagram Stories to thank a bath and body brand for freebies. 'What have you got there?' Bec asked her daughter on-camera, who 'woo-hooed' as she unboxed a gift set from All Kinds in her school uniform. Billie dutifully held up the press materials inside the box for the camera before Bec read them aloud. 'We've got a mini Spongebob, we've got shower foam, and bubblegum,' she said as she sat down to unbox the baby pink gift pack. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Yeah try it,' Bec encouraged gently, as Billie reached for a lip balm. Bec has been posting clips and images of Billie to her Stories more frequently in the past 12 months as her second-eldest child enters her tweenage years. The model and influencer shares four children - Oscar, 13, Billie, 11, and twins Tom and Darcy, eight - with retired footy great Chris Judd. In March, the Melbourne-based rich lister booked a $5,000 private suite at Rod Laver Arena Billie could watch Billie Eilish in style on her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour. Bec took to Instagram, where she documents her lavish lifestyle to 752,000 followers, to memorialise the big night out, first sharing a picture of the mum and daughter duo beaming for a mirror selfie. In the image, Bec looked every inch the teenager in a white layered crop-top and cut-out, light-wash jeans. Meanwhile, Billie looked cute in an oversized pink hoodie and jeans. 'Billie's first concert - off to see Billie!' she captioned the clip. A second picture showed Billie excitedly about to enter the exclusive suite at Rod Laver Arena, which was hosted by Bec's gymwear brand JAGGAD. In a recent fan Q&A, Bec characterised her daughter as 'a weapon at everything'. Describing her children's personalities, she added: 'Oscar: kind, responsible, smart, diligent. 'Darcy: Super cruisy, funny and creative. Tom: Elon Musk.' One fan asked the mum-of-four how she juggles running her full-to-the-brim household. 'With anxiety and mum guilt,' the fashion designer confessed. 'I travel a bit for work but I'm always on, even when I'm away. Ordering lunches, responding to school emails, ordering groceries, organising pick ups/drop offs, coordinating training, booking trades/ repairs for home, buying birthday gifts, dealing with kid dramas etc,' she said. 'All the normal mum things but on the other side of the world.' Bec has also included Billie in advertisements for her other brand collaborations such as Mermade Hair styling tools. Billie was just three-years-old when Bec confessed that she felt her daughter was beginning to develop a poor sense of body image in relation to her famous mother. The TV presenter said during her radio show - KIIS network's The 3PM Pick Up in 2017 - that Billie 'screams at the mirror' because she hates her hair. 'Billie all of a sudden has started caring about her appearance so much. It's actually scary, and I don't know where it's come from,' she said at the time. 'She's got this brush, and she stands in front of the mirror and brushes and brushes her hair. 'She's got this curly hair. She brushes it and it springs back up. And she screams at the mirror, she's like, "arrrrgh!" She's just furious.' She went on to say that her daughter complained, 'Mummy, I don't like my hair. I want straight hair like you,' to which Bec replied to her toddler, 'Babe when I go to work I tong my hair so I've got curly hair like you.' The solution Bec and Chris decided upon was to steer her daughter's emphasis away from her own looks and onto other attributes, the TV personality said. She concluded: 'It made Chris and I think we have to put so much emphasis on being a kind human, and being strong, and being smart.'

Rachael Finch takes tennis lessons into her own hands with son Dominic - after she was slammed for saying her children do not play team sports
Rachael Finch decided to take tennis training into her own hands on Thursday as she was spotted on the court with her six-year-old son Dominic. The model, 36, who shares Dominic and daughter Violet, eight, with Michael Miziner, sparked controversy when she said she wouldn't put her kids in team sports. Adding that she and her husband are all the 'team' their children need, the mother-of-three appears to be staying true to her word as she played a few rounds in Sydney. The brunette beauty was all smiles as she got in some bonding time with her son on the court, dressing for the warm weather in a red sweater and black tights. Flaunting her natural beauty without a lick of makeup in sight, Rachael pulled her dark tresses back into a tight ponytail as she served the ball to Dominic. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Likewise, her son also had a big smile on his face as he enjoyed playing tennis with his famous mother, dressed in all black for the outing. Rachael copped backlash from her followers late last month when she revealed the reason she won't put her kids in any team sports. She uploaded a video to Instagram, in which her husband and daughter could be seen training at the tennis courts—but it was the caption which raised eyebrows. 'People ask, "Why don't your kids play team sports?"' the mother-of-two wrote over the video. 'We are their team,' she added. Rachael went on to explain the controversial statement, saying she always wanted to be on her family's team no matter what. 'I'll carry the water bottles. I'll chop up the oranges. I don't care what I do—just so long as I get to be on this team,' she wrote. Rachael said she hopes her children learn lessons in 'resilience, accountability, confidence, winning and losing with grace, emotional balance, and that what you put in is what you get out'. However, even if they didn't, the proud mum said 'being there every single time they turn their head to the sideline' was a dream for both her and her husband. 'The fact they're out learning more about themselves in a challenging yet supportive environment while enjoying themselves is what counts,' she said. Adding the decision to play team sports was one which depended on the child, she posed the question to other parents. 'Do you think it's better if kids play team or individual sports?' she wrote. Rachael's followers poured into the comments section with their takes on the parenting view, with many calling out her decision. 'My kids do play team sports, that doesn't mean my husband and I aren't their team,' one person sourly wrote. Another chimed in: 'I think children need to be playing with other children and not just around their parents all the time. That's just my opinion.' 'Definitely team sports, and without parents around or on sidelines is crucial to self empowerment and development,' another person added. Other parents reflected on the question, saying a little bit of both was the best course of action, so long as it's what the children want to do. 'I think playing any sport is great! Team or individual. As the kids get older they will tell you what they want to continue with or if they want to change sports,' one person expressed. Another fan said: 'As long as the kids are doing what they choose to do and love it that's all that matters.' 'My kids play both team and individual sports. There's no better or worse or right or wrong. Just what works for your child and family,' another weighed in.
