Aussie Eurovision star gives birth to second child
Aussie singer Dami Im has welcomed the birth of her second child, declaring there's 'no song quite as beautiful as the first cry of your baby'. Her second son with husband Noah Kim — whom she married in 2012 — the couple named their newest addition Rory Jiyul Kim. 'And then there were four ✨,' she said in an Instagram post, sharing three images of the newborn. 'Our second little boy, Rory Jiyul Kim has arrived earthside. There's no song quite as beautiful as the first cry of your baby….💛 'Noah and I are so in love and in awe as we get to know our little angel and also watch Harry become a big brother 🥹 Thank you for sending us all your love and prayers 🙏🙏🙏'.

The candid photos depict a smiling Im cradling Rory with support from her young family. Speaking to The Women's Weekly, Im revealed that her youngest was born on the evening of Tuesday, June 3. She said it was three-year-old Harry who inspired his sibling's name, with one of his favourite books featuring a lion called Rory. 'When we were searching for names, we went through a bunch and none of them were sticking,' Im told the publication. 'And then my mum was like, 'Oh, well why don't you just call him Rory?' I thought, 'Oh, that's such a cute name'. So I guess Harry picked it in a way. Aussie singer Dami Im has given birth to her second child.

But then we can see the differences as well, little features that I guess only parents might notice.' Keen to keep the ball rolling on her music career, Im said she would be releasing new music in 2025. However, not before some well-earned rest and recovery in the comfort of their baby bubble. 'I have travel booked for July sometime, but I'm trying not to, like, fill it up too quickly like I did last time,' she said. 'There's travel and performances coming up and I'll be releasing my single in September. I want to ease back into it gently, rather than be 'I've got to get back'. I want to enjoy the moment.' The 36-year-old became a household household name in 2013, crowned winner of Australia's The X Factor before representing Australia in 2016's Eurovision Song Contest. Her second place finish in the competition stands as the best result the nation has achieved since its first entry in 2014. Members of Australian's music community have sent their love to the star, including Anthony Callea who said, 'Congratulations to you all 🥰Ax'. Fellow Eurovision alum Silia Kapsis, a Sydney-born singer who represented Cyprus in 2024, also reached out to the performer. 'Yay congratulations Dami and family 💙💙💙💙', she said.

Rita Ora displays a hint of under-boob in a skimpy orange bikini as she promotes new single on Instagram
Rita Ora showed off her toned physique in a skimpy bikini while promoting her new single on Monday. The Let Me Love You singer, 34, was filmed soaking in the sun on holiday while strutting around poolside listening to Heat, which she released on Friday. Rita looked sensational for the video posted on Instagram as she displayed a hint of under-boob in the vibrant orange bikini. Getting in the holiday spirit, the 34-year-old sported both a body chain and a number of anklets. Referencing her new tune, Rita captioned the video: 'Summer 25 just got hotter.' 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. Heat has been released ahead of Rita's performance at the World Pride Music Festival in Washington on the weekend. The former The X Factor judge described the track - which features a music video set in Miami - as 'special' to her. 'I'm obsessed with this track,' she said, 'and honestly, I just wanted to have fun with it. It's bold, cheeky, and totally drenched in golden, feel-good energy. 'For me, it's all about celebrating freedom, joy, being unapologetically yourself and owning who you are. 'Dropping Heat on the same day as my World Pride performance feels like the perfect way to kick off summer - it's such a special moment for me and for my fans who have supported me over the years.' Heat is expected to feature on the pop star's upcoming album which is yet to have been named. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie Minogue for the first leg of her Tension tour after she previously revealed that the Aussie's 2023 mega-hit 'Padam Padam' was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie. But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song. Lostboy told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'We wrote Padam in February 2022 and there were maybe four or five months of us sitting on it, then I sent it to their label, and someone suggested to me, 'Kylie would kill this.'' He added: 'They were unsure and there was a moment when Rita was going to cut it and it was worming around a few artists on that label. 'They were trying to make it work but they didn't think it was for Kylie.' Rita kicked off her support of Kylie earlier this year, gushing after her first gig: 'First night of the tour, wow the reception was incredible and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to connect with North America. It feels like such a huge compliment to open up for such an icon.' The music video for Rita's new single sees her clad in a skimpy bikini while soaking in the Miami sun Kylie's Tension Tour will conclude on August 26. She will then head to New York for two shows at Madison Square Garden before stopping for one show at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK.

Amul butters up the Donald Trump-Elon Musk online spat with special topical; netizen reacts: ‘Ye company band karake manega'
The ongoing spat between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has been dominating global headlines, sparking a flurry of opinions, memes, and viral posts online. Naturally, Amul — known for its witty takes on trending topics — decided to join the fun with its signature humour. Their latest topical features a cartoon of Trump sitting at his Oval Office desk at the White House, while Tesla CEO Musk stands beside him, arms folded, both wearing deadpan expressions. True to form, Amul's punchline is a clever play on words: 'What goes up Musk come down.' Beneath it, the tagline reads, 'Amul. The X Factor,' — a double entendre referencing both Musk's social media platform X and his aerospace venture SpaceX, both frequently mentioned amid the controversy. Sharing the ad on social media, Amul captioned it: '#Amul Topical: President of USA and billionaire/Tesla owner have a feud!' A post shared by Amul – The Taste of India (@amul_india) The post instantly took off, drawing thousands of reactions, comments, and shares. 'How can Amul be so creative in every post!! Just love the way you play with the words!' a fan wrote. Another added, 'I forgot that Duolingo, Red Bull n AMUL hav the craziest marketing… love that it hasn't gone to the woke class like Jaguar. Keep up the great work.' Adding to the fun, one user joked, 'Elon didn't butter him well,' while someone else chimed in with, 'Ye company band krake manega (This company will get itself shut down).' Amul has been on a roll lately. Not long ago, they paid tribute to Mission: Impossible with a hilarious post featuring Tom Cruise dangling from a helicopter — except, in true Amul style, he's nonchalantly holding a slice of buttered toast. The caption? 'Better Ethan the rest!' with a cheeky follow-up: 'Impossibly tasty.' Clearly, when it comes to mixing current affairs with creamy puns, nobody does it like Amul.
