The Wiggles' breakout star ‘Tree of Wisdom' lands own headline tour, to release new album

Yes, the Tree of Wisdom did catch The Wiggles cast off-guard when he pulled out those dance moves during filming. Dominic Field, as he's known out of his vibrant green leafy costume, has exploded in popularity over the past year thanks to his signature set of chaotic routines on the Australian children's program, which have made him a bona fide social media sensation with more than 200 million views. And just months after finding viral fame, Field is slated to headline his own national tour, with The Wiggles today announcing the upcoming 'Tree of Wisdom Arena Spectacular Tour' kicking off in November, as well as his own studio album to be released in October. Field's public favour all stems back to The Wiggles' recent reimagining of the catchy Irish folk song Rattlin' Bog. In the music video, he breaks out into a series of chaotic dance moves that progressively get more and more adventurous. Among the hundreds of re-shares on TikTok, including from US reality star Khloe Kardashian, the general consensus has been: 'I want whatever the Tree of Wisdom is having.' Aside from that, many viewers have also been eager to understand what went down on-set when it was filmed, with a flurry of comments pointing to a visibly mystified Purple Wiggle Lachy, who attempts to hold character as Field lets loose. Speaking to Field confirmed no-one knew just how hard he was going to go. 'The way we work at The Wiggles … it wasn't on the schedule four months in advance. You know? It was very much just like, we've got a week of filming and we'll see what we can fit in,' Field says. 'And so it was very much just, 'OK next we're doing the Rattlin' Bog.' It's such difficult song to sing. There's so many words. So it was a matter of, they're [the core cast] locked into to what they need to do, and I've pretty much got free range, and my ultimate goal was to try to slip up Lachy, or slip up someone in the background. 'Every time I'm dancing, I'm trying to catch someone off guard. I'm also thinking, 'OK, what can I do next?' And whatever comes out when it comes out. That's what happens, and it always seems to get bigger and faster.' Fans can expect that signature energy for Field's upcoming tour, with the set list comprising of Wiggles classics and music from the upcoming Tree of Wisdom album. Two tracks have been unveiled early today, including Field's cover of Tina Turner's iconic Nutbush City Limits featuring Yellow Wiggle Tsehay Hawkins. Field has a grand goal with the iconic dancefloor earworm, revealing The Wiggles have discovered the song is only a staple in Australia, despite Turner's US roots. 'We've realised recently that Australia is the only one who does the dance,' Field says. 'We've been touring the world and we play this song and we just get these looks. Even in New Zealand, our close neighbours. It's not much of a thing there. 'No one knows the nutbush dance. So we've taken it on ourselves. We are going to be the international teachers of the nutbush dance.' Field, the youngest child of former Wiggles manager Paul Field and nephew of OG Blue Wiggle Anthony Field, who first appeared in the beloved group as a one-year-old in 1995, has also managed to transcend the target youth market, assembling a fanbase of what he coins 'tree-nagers' and parents alike. Just weeks ago, Field set the Old Mates pub in New York alight when he whipped out his signature moves for dozens of adults, yet again, going viral on the platform. He's chuffed by the admiration, mostly because he's quietly been 'that guy' on wedding dance floors for years. 'I think it just really reminds everyone of that one guy at a wedding, or that one guy on the dance floor, who doesn't really care what's going on around him,' Field says. 'I think the thing I'm proudest of the most is … What you see of the Tree is very much who I am. I am that guy at the wedding who's just having the best time. 'I'm the youngest of five children. So I've always been trying to get the attention of my parents and all that stuff. So it's just me just having the most fun. And I think that resonates with people.' Presale tickets for 'The Wiggles' Tree of Wisdom Big Show Arena Spectacular Tour', sponsored by the Australian Fruit and Vegetable Industry, will be available from 1pm AEDT Tuesday July 29 for Amex Card members. General public tickets go on sale this Friday August 1 at 2pm. 'It's going to be in the round, which we haven't done for quite some time. The original Wiggles did it way back in the day, but this new generation of Wiggles, we're doing it in the round, in the arena. It's gonna be spectacular,' Field says. 'Of course, we'll have the classic songs that everyone knows and loves from The Wiggles, but we're throwing in some new stuff. There's gonna be balls flying around, and of course, there's gonna be some new stuff from the Tree of Wisdom album as well. It's going to get people dancing and it's going to bring that energy up.'

Khloé Kardashian sparks debate about nannies—and why moms still feel so judged

The Kardashian family is one of the wealthiest on the planet. Love them or roll your eyes and scroll, it's nearly impossible to escape them. So when Khloé Kardashian started talking about 'nanny shame' on her podcast, I listened. And honestly? I found myself nodding. Because even though I'm not a billionaire —uh, not even close—I've heard the same passive-aggressive remarks about having 'privileged' childcare. Here's what I know as a mom of five raising kids far from family: I buy every single minute of help I can afford. Because we were not made to raise kids alone, and these days, the reality is that many of us need to buy the village back. To be clear, I love being with my kids—and I work hard to support our family and be able to afford childcare and house help. Thirteen years ago, when I first became a mom, I truly couldn't afford the help I needed. I worked full-time with part-time childcare, beginning my day at 6 am and finishing late at night. I made work happen when my kids were sleeping, but it wasn't easy. But now that I can afford more help, that's what I invest in–more than a car upgrade or even vacations. Related: Postpartum depression left me isolated—here's how I built a village for moms 'We all have help': Khloé Kardashian says the quiet part out loud In a recent episode of her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, the Good American co-founder got candid: 'People that talk s— about nannies, we all have help in some capacity,' said Khloé, who shares daughter True and son Tatum with ex Tristan Thompson. 'You can call it daycare, you can call it a school, you can call it in-laws, your mother, sister, whoever. A babysitter.' 'There is no shame in that,' she continued. 'We're all blessed, and it takes a village to raise a family.' Why 'paid help' gets side-eye even as we praise the village There's a disconnect: society values the idea that parenting is a communal effort—but only when that effort is unpaid and invisible. Let a nanny have a role—and suddenly the mom is perceived as indulgent or neglecting her family. This tension—celebrating caregiving as a collective ideal, while penalizing paid help—reflects how American parenting norms lag behind reality. Many moms are forced to choose between exhaustion and judgment. That contradiction is a key reason many mothers feel guilty getting the support they need. We celebrate 'supermoms,' but judge women for getting help. Celebrity moms speaking openly about real constraints and real help Khloé may have launched the conversation, but she's far from alone. For other celebrities, the critique about nannies is a family one. On The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Meghan Markle talked about how overwhelmed she was juggling work and motherhood—and revealed she's relied on a nanny for around five years to handle school drop‑offs and other daily routines. Her candidness highlights how even with help, moms still carry the emotional weight of parenting. Mandy Moore honored her postpartum doula, Brandi Jordan, publicly. She credited Jordan for guiding her and husband Taylor Goldsmith through 'all aspects of postpartum life'—from diapering and breastfeeding logistics to managing sleep routines and emotional recovery. Mandy described Jordan as a 'friend for life' and acknowledged it truly 'takes a village' to transition into motherhood. Jordan, a longtime postpartum expert, has helped countless families through those critical early months. For everyday moms who rely on childcare to make their lives work, hearing other prominent moms explain how they 'do it all' is a relief. But for many families, even basic childcare support feels financially out of reach. According to our 2024 State of Motherhood survey, 82% of moms say they've scaled back or left the workforce entirely due to the cost of childcare. Even with high-profile moms talking openly about needing help, the reality for many parents is that affordable care is simply out of reach. According to Child Care Aware of America, in 45 states plus the District of Columbia, the average annual cost of center-based care for two children now exceeds what families pay for a mortgage in those states. Nationally, the average annual cost of care for a single infant hit around $13,128 in 2024, consuming approximately 10% of a married couple's median income—and up to 35% for a single parent. Those numbers are well above the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' recommended cap of 7% of income for childcare. This is reality: when daycare rivals your rent or mortgage, 'having the village' feels like a luxury. Related: To the mama without a village: I see you A clearer narrative: needing help isn't a personal failure It's time to shift how we talk about help. Hiring support is one way moms meet the demands of real life. It's practical, responsible, and often essential. Getting help doesn't take anything away from the love parents give. It simply makes that love more sustainable. We don't need to defend or minimize the fact that we sometimes ask for relief. We need to normalize it. Solve the daily Crossword

Kris Jenner ‘storms off' after tense exchange with boyfriend Corey in front of daughter Khloe Kardashian at Beyonce gig

KRIS Jenner was spotted appearing to "storm off" from boyfriend Corey Gamble at Beyonce's latest gig in Las Vegas. The Kardashians momager, 69 - clad in black sunglasses - was seen walking in the opposite direction from her toyboy lover as daughter Khloe Kardashian, 41, attempted to smooth things over. 8 8 8 8 Kris looked typically chic in a plunging black blazer and matching trousers, styling her dark locks into loose waves. She was spotted in the VIP area of the Cowboy Carter tour along with Khloe, who was decked out in matching all-black. Donning a lanyard around her neck and holding a plastic cup in one hand, she was seen walking away from her man. Corey, 44, meanwhile donned a dark jacket and taupe-coloured bucket hat Eyewitnesses to their dialogue told how the pair looked "visibly tense." They then told Page Six how Corey appeared "frustrated" and Good American founder Khloe was trying to "reassure" him. Yet Kris, who has been dating Corey since 2014, appeared cheery as she uploaded her social media content from the night. She gave a nod to Beyonce's reunion with her Destiny's Child bandmates on-stage and said: "WOW! Such an incredible night in Vegas at the final night of @beyonce's spectacular Cowboy Carter tour!! "And such magic to see Destiny's Child @destinyschild and of course the iconic @jayz!!" The smash-hit singer reunited with her former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Kris Jenner's fans catch embarrassing photoshop error that shows 69-year-old's 'true age' in Khloe Kardashian's new pic After performing 31 shows across Europe and the states, Beyonce took to the stage for her final show of the worldwide Cowboy Carter Tour. But as she wrapped up her performances to a sold-out crowd in Vegas, Queen Bey sent her fans into a frenzy with a special surprise performance. The trio took to the stage together for the first time since their Coachella reunion in 2018. LOVE STORY Back in 2023, Corey and Kris fuelled engagement rumors as she was spotted with a brand new ring. All About Kris Jenner Kris Jenner is the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who rose to fame with her six children after starring on the E! reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Here's what Kris has been up to: Kris was first married to the late Robert Kardashian, famously known as O.J. Simpson's defense attorney in his 1995 murder trial. They shared four children: daughters, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe, and a son, Robert The former couple were married from 1978 until 1991. Following their divorce, Kris tied the knot with former Olympian, Bruce Jenner, who also appeared on KUWTK. The pair shared two daughters, Kendall and Kylie. They split in 2015, around the time that Bruce transitioned and changed her name to Caitlyn. Kris met her current boyfriend, Corey Gamble, in August 2014, and they have been together ever since. Kris manages her daughters' widely-successful careers and they've continued their reality TV run with The Kardashians on Hulu, shortly after KUWTK ended. After her high-profile divorce from Caitlyn Jenner, the Kardashian family matriarch found love with longtime boyfriend Corey. The Hulu star and business executive started dating in August 2014 after meeting in Ibiza, Spain. Fans have watched their relationship play out on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and their currently airing series, The Kardashians. Yet he was slammed about an "uncomfortable" comment on their sex life. Recently, there was speculation the pair had a tiff at Jeff Bezos' star-studded wedding in Venice. Yet overall she has gushed over their partnership. Previously, she told People: "Corey is my forever date and we have the best time together. "We've been together over a decade — never thought I'd say that again — and we just have a lot of fun together." NEW LOOK Kris had fans in a frenzy when she stepped out with a new face in June, looking decades younger. The reality star's rep confirmed to Page Six she underwent aesthetic enhancements from New York plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine ahead of her 70th birthday. Although it has not been revealed exactly what she had done, many critics have suggested she underwent a deep plane facelift as opposed to a regular SMAS procedure. Yet she was then accused of editing her images for an even more snatched jawline despite having "work done." She first showed off her amazing new look when she supported her daughter Kim Kardashian, 44, in French capital Paris during her court appearance following a traumatic burglary back in 2016. She continued to wow the public as the Kardashians stars attended Lauren Sanchez's bachelorette party in the city. After landing back in the US, momager Kris then supported her youngest Kylie Jenner at the launch of Khy X Dilara, Kylie's new collaboration. The Kardashian matriarch began her journey with plastic surgery when she got breast implants in the 1980s after giving birth to her first four children: Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian. She has continued her cosmetic upkeep and revealed that she's gotten Botox and fillers over the years. 8 8 8 8

An Era of Authenticity (or Something Like It)

When Kylie Jenner and her mother, Kris, admitted last month that they had gotten plastic surgery, it was hailed by many as the start of a new era in celebrity transparency around beauty. '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol,' Kylie Jenner had responded to a fan asking for the exact specifications of her breast augmentation. The moment — casual, off the cuff, peppered with internet speak and made in the comments of a TikTok — immediately became a hot topic on social media, just as her mother's discussion of her face lift a few weeks earlier had. Other celebrities, naturally, jumped on the bandwagon. Kristin Cavallari, a former star of 'The Hills,' shared her own breast implant specifications on Instagram, while the real estate tycoon and 'Shark Tank' star Barbara Corcoran revealed a whole host of procedures she's had done, including three face lifts, a neck lift and a 'lower eyelid skin pinch.' Last week, Khloé Kardashian admitted that she used to 'heavily Photoshop' her photos until she looked like a 'cartoon character.' 'There was a time that I was around some people that would make me feel like I needed to,' Ms. Kardashian said on her podcast, 'Khloé in Wonderland.' 'I also think it was the era, too. I felt like a lot of people were Photoshopping or heavily Photoshopping more than they do now. I do feel like there was a time that we all just got consumed in this filter lifestyle and we couldn't see ourselves without a filter.' The beauty standards themselves are inauthentic — that is, unnatural and impossible to attain without surgical or technological intervention — but the open discussion around how to achieve them has been praised as a form of authenticity by fans, many of whom felt they had previously been gaslit by celebrities claiming their perfect forms were the result of diet and exercise. According to Dr. Kelly Killeen, a plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, Calif., the open discussion of plastic surgery has resulted in an uptick in patients asking for the exact same procedures their favorite celebrities have gotten. 'I'm seeing so many patients coming in with, like, a Burger King order,' Dr. Killeen said in an interview. 'They're like, 'I want the Kylie Jenner.'' The plastic surgery admissions, oddly enough, have come from stars who have seemingly built their careers on omissions and obfuscations. Between lavish birthday parties, multimillion-dollar mansions and unattainable bodies, there has been nothing less relatable and authentic in recent years than celebrities like the Kardashians. This is not the first time people have sought escapism in being a voyeur of luxurious lifestyles — think Paris Hilton in the early aughts, as Wall Street crashed — and as economic anxiety rises yet again, Dr. Killeen said the trend offers a chance to change the discussion around the celebrities. 'The Kardashians love to rage against the machine they created,' she said. In this case it seems to be working, possibly because the act of being open about their plastic surgeries and proclivities for Photoshop appeals to Gen Z — a generation that values, according to a 2023 report from the consulting firm EY, 'being authentic and true to oneself' more than anything else. 'More than 90 percent rated authenticity as very or extremely important,' the report said. 'This is driving a backlash against 'perfectionism,' or trying to conform to be like, look like and sound like the idealized versions of oneself shared through filtered selfies and retouched photos. Gen Z, instead, is increasingly embracing their authentic, unedited view of themselves and the world around them — and expecting others to respect them for the same.' 'We've left the Instagram era of perfectly crafted and edited photos into the era of TikTok, where people just pick their phone up and look the way they look and act the way they act, and share their experiences,' Dr. Killeen said. 'And I think especially Gen Z has transitioned into this era of, 'I'm not trying to be perfect. I'm just being myself.'' There is, however, some nuance to Gen Z's approach to authenticity. Despite an expressed desire to be true to themselves, members of the generation have said they care less and less about authenticity from influencers — perhaps because the efforts to appear relatable have fallen flat. Naming the aesthetic helpers, whether the celebrity in question is using plastic surgery or semaglutide drugs, may also demystify them, and make the celebrity's quest for perfection less interesting and, in turn, less relevant. But for now, the trend seems to have hit the pause button on celebrities pretending they 'woke up like this.' 'I think that young women understanding that these things aren't achievable without surgery is really important,' Dr. Killeen said. 'I hope that we don't go so far as young women starting to think you need these things, which is always a fear, but at least now people know, and it's not like the J. Lo, 'I look like this because I use olive oil on my skin.'' 'I mean, come on,' she added.

Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian give intimate glimpse of grandma MJ's lavish 91st birthday

Kylie Jenner and her sister Khloe Kardashian have offered a special glimpse at their grandma Mary Jo 'MJ' Campbell's 91st birthday bash with an array of sweet Instagram snaps. The beauty mogul, 27, joined both the Good American founder, 41, and mom Kris Jenner at the celebrity hotspot The Ivy in LA over the weekend. Kylie shared the carousel of images on Sunday, with one showing the reality star posing next to MJ as they sat next to each other at a table. The mom-of-two donned a black and white-checkered minidress that clung to her toned frame while her long dark locks were parted in the middle and flowed down past her shoulders in elegant waves. Her grandmother — Kris' mother — dressed to impress in a stylish blazer with a colorful floral pattern as well as matching trousers. Kylie and her older sibling Khloe also paused for a few memorable photos together during the lighthearted afternoon. In a few pictures, the pair could be seen flashing cheerful smiles and also fell into an embrace as they shared a laugh. Khloe also showed off her own personal sense of style in a fitted black dress with white floral details on the material. She additionally slipped into a pair of black pumps and allowed her hair to cascade down in light waves. Kylie better showcased her ensemble for the floral-themed party while taking a quick mirror selfie in the bathroom. The star also included a short clip as MJ was sung happy birthday by her loved ones and other guests in attendance. Kris could be seen standing next to her mother who was next to a circular cake that was topped with floral decorations as well as a gold '91' candle. The Kylie Cosmetics founder offered her followers a closer look at the tasty cake that was also topped with a sugary, pastel yellow frosting. The beauty — who is currently dating actor Timothée Chalamet — was accompanied by her mini-me daughter Stormi, seven, who also flaunted her own fashionable look for the camera. Kylie and her older sibling Khloe also paused for a few memorable photos together during the lighthearted afternoon Kylie shares Stormi as well as son Aire, three, with ex and rapper Travis Scott. Lastly, she also shared a picture to show the table setting which included specially crafted menus and clear vases filled with multi-colored roses. The TV personality posed for another image as she sat at the table with her hand placed on the menu while sipping on a refreshing drink. In the caption of the post, Kylie wrote: '91 years of MJ ♥️ the queeeeen we love you.' Khloe - who was also joined by her daughter True, seven - shared an assortment of lighthearted selfies to her own Instagram page on Saturday. She made funny faces towards the camera while sitting next to her daughter as they headed towards the party inside a vehicle. True - whom she shares with ex Tristan Thompson as well as son Tatum, two - showed off a popular Labubu toy in her hand. She captioned the post by sweetly calling True her 'best friend.' Kris also paid a tribute to her mom MJ in celebration of her 91st birthday - which officially took place on Saturday, July 26. The TV personality posed for another image as she sat at the table with her hand placed on the menu while sipping on a refreshing drink Khloe - who was also joined by her daughter True, seven - also shared an assortment of lighthearted selfies to her own Instagram page on Saturday 'Happy birthday to my mommy MJ!!!' the momager began. 'You are truly the heart and soul of our family... the most incredible mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother we could ever dream of. 'Your strength, elegance, wit, and wisdom have shaped who we all are, and I am endlessly grateful for every lesson, every laugh, and every memory we've shared together.' Kris continued, 'You've taught me what it means to be a strong woman, to work hard, to be kind, generous, to lead with love, and to never lose your sense of humor no matter what life throws your way. 'Thank you for being my rock all of these years, through every moment. You have always been my biggest cheerleader and confidant…' In conclusion, she added, 'You are forever my role model and I'm blessed beyond words to call you my mommy. We are ALL so blessed to be loved by you. I love you!!!' One day earlier on Saturday, some of the Kardashian/Jenner clan were seen arriving to The Ivy shortly before the birthday bash began. Kylie strolled hand-in-hand with Stormi while carrying a stylish black purse over her shoulder and sported a pair of black shades. Khloe was soon also spotted arriving to the eatery alongside her daughter True who sported a pink dress that had 'Dior' printed on the front. 'Happy birthday to my mommy MJ!!!' the momager began. 'You are truly the heart and soul of our family... the most incredible mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother we could ever dream of,' she wrote Later in the day, Kourtney was also seen at the venue while holding her baby boy Rocky - whom she shares with husband and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. She wore a cream-colored maxi dress that had floral-patterned embroidery to fit the theme of the party and layered the look with a black leather jacket for an edgy flare. During an episode of The Kardashians which aired back in March, Kris emotionally reflected on her mom MJ getting older. 'I know my mom struggles with so much right now because she is 90 and she's frail,' she expressed during a confessional. Kris's sister Karen Houghton passed away this year on March 18 at the age of 65 - with the cause of death revealed to be both cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac arrhythmia, per TMZ 'Ever since my sister passed away, she's been super sad, like we all have, and I know that I need to be there for her.' Kris's sister Karen Houghton passed away this year on March 18 at the age of 65 - with the cause of death revealed to be both cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac arrhythmia, per TMZ. Type 2 diabetes had also been listed as an underlying cause. The star later added, 'You never know when you're going to get a call like this, and you never know when somebody's going to need you. 'So I have to compartmentalize my emotions and my feelings and then pop over to my mom's and see what's happening.'
