Legendary US rapper on AFL's ‘radar' for that one day in September
American rapper Snoop Dogg is on the AFL's radar to headline the pre-game entertainment at the men's grand final in September. The AFL and the Mushroom Group are working to bring the famous hip-hop and gangsta rap artist, songwriter and actor to town, the league keen to again make a splash on the biggest day of its calendar. AFL spokesman Jay Allen said on Friday Snoop Dogg, 53, was on the league's 'radar', but confirmation had yet to be given. 'The pre-game entertainment at the AFL grand final is always a talking point, and we're hoping to make an announcement shortly,' Allen said. 'We are excited to deliver another world-class show in front of 100,000 fans at the 'G and the millions more watching the broadcast ahead of the biggest game of the season.' Loading Snoop Dogg's manager and wife, Shante Broadus, was contacted for comment. There is speculation in the music industry that Snoop Dogg will perform with fellow rappers Dr Dre and Ice Cube in the Philippines two days before the grand final on September 27, giving him time to make the eight-hour flight to Melbourne. He last toured Australia in March 2023. Should he accept the league's offer, Snoop Dogg would join a recent list of world-class entertainers to headline the pre-game grand final entertainment.

World's first Barbie Cafe outside the US opens in Melbourne for limited time
Australia has become home to the first ever Malibu Barbie Cafe outside the United States, but the venue is only here to stay for a limited time. Melbourne's Chadstone Shopping Centre is hosting the venue, which is expected to remain open until next summer. 'Only at Chadstone for a limited time, this two-storey pink paradise brings Barbie's world to life – with retro glam, all-day dining, dreamy desserts, signature cocktails at the Ken Kabana, exclusive merch, insta-worthy photo ops and a groovy skate rink,' a spokesman from Malibu Barbie Cafe said. Mattel Asia-Pacific managing director Paul Faulkner said the time had come for Barbie to re-enter the national consciousness. 'Fans responded so well to the Barbie Movie back in 2023 that we thought it was time to give them another dose of Barbie,' he told 7News. 'We're really looking forward to bringing Barbie in a new way to consumers, not just through the toy but through immersive experiences,' he said. 'Barbie is 65 years old, and for a brand to resonate like that for so long with so many different demographics, it's really incredible.' Mushroom Group Marketing Manager Brii Jamieson called the cafe a 'labour of love'. 'As you can see, it's come to life in the most amazing way.' Prior to establishing itself in Melbourne, the Malibu Barbie cafe has popped up in cities across the United States including New York, San Diego, Miami, Chicago, Houston and Austin.
