Supporters have unleashed their concerns via social media sites, with many claiming the AFL are doing their best to ruin the game for the everyday supporter. It is understood that Melbourne, who are the away team, have no control over the matter and that the issue lay with the AFL and the Geelong Football Club. Unfortunately for Dees supporters, many will opt not to attend the game with many fans likely to tune in to Foxtel who will televise the game live into Victoria. As it seems, Etihad Stadium have had this arrangement for quite some time and are still scrutinised and under the media spotlight for long ticket queues and unused seats within the stadium - thus making the telecast unattractive for television broadcasting. Personally, the issue needs to be rectified as many supporters and members who have been paid up, feel like they are being squeezed out. Members have had to put up with higher ticketing costs and unfair seating policies set by the AFL. The Demons currently have 36,693 members - highly unjust for those supporters who are forced to fork out or miss out at a stadium that can hold only 28,300 people. 
Melbourne Football Club is in mourning tonight with news of Sean Wight's sad passing. 
She gave us a string of hits with Fleetwood Mac, but now Stevie Nicks is returning to Australia with Eurythmics front man Dave Stewart for a performance at Melbourne's Myer Music Bowl on November 19, followed by a gig at Mornington Race-course on November 20. The new album titled In Your Dreams is out now, also produced by Dave Stewart and features the tracks Secret Love and Cheaper Than Free. A series of new dates have been announced for the US, with the setlist featuring a few Stevie gems.... Stand Back, Rhiannon and Dreams. Tickets for the Melbourne show are available from Ticketmaster on 136 100 from July 6th. 
John Farnham is also touring the land Down Under. Love him or hate him, the man has been part of the Aussie wireless since 'cookie was an egg'. We got hits such as Sadie (The Cleaning Lady), Touch Of Paradise, Two Strong Hearts, Age of Reason, Pressure Down and the biggest tune for John to date, Your The Voice. Farnham has been on and off stage declaring it would be his last, but the icon from OZ refuses to give up. This time, John Farnham will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Australia's highest ever selling album Whispering Jack. In October, the album will mark 25 years since hitting number one in 1986 and 1987 for 6 months - an extraordinary achievement. Tickets for his shows at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne have been selling fast, here is where you can catch Farnsie.
They were the reason behind me missing the first 10 minutes of school and they were also the inspiration behind the blue super-dooper, The Smurfs are coming - to the big screen! The film, starring voiceovers by Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry and others will mark the return of our beloved blue creatures from the land of Smurfs. Don't we all love seeing Gargamel come undone and watching our Smurfs run to freedom! The film hits cinemas on July 29, the teaser clip courtesy of Columbia Pictures. 
Melbourne Football Club have reason to celebrate this weekend after storming into the AFL's Top 8. The Dees are sitting in 8th position tonight with a match to play this coming Friday night at Etihad Stadium against the Western Bulldogs. The Demons put on a ruthless display of football to beat Richmond by 27 points.
Both the Dees and Dogs are coming off wins, although the Bulldogs were not too convincing against the Gold Coast Suns at the weekend. Melbourne will be out to chalk up a third consecutive win as the feel around the club starts to pick up after a mediocre start to season 2011. A couple more wins for the Demons would see them push towards the middle of the top 8 and almost certainly secure a finals spot - the dream of playing in September remains well and truly alive. 
Gypsy & The Cat made an immediate impact with the screaming crowd as they took to the stage in their support act for Kylie Minogue on June 14, 15 & 16 at Rod Laver Arena. 
BRYAN ADAMS, the man that gave us Summer of '69, Heaven, Everything I Do I Do It For You and other streams of hits is heading to the land Down Under to perform a series of intimate shows. Bryan will play the smaller venues and has booked the Palais Theatre in Melbourne for his first stop on September 15. Bryan will then head to Sydney Opera House, QPAC Concert Hall in Brisbane and the Civic Centre in Newcastle for what is going to be a very up close and personal night with the rock legend who has been around for decades. Runaway hit Summer of '69 has been a summer anthem for as long as I can remember. For Aussies, the song takes you back to the days when families would all jump in the car with caravan hooked up and kids in the back sucking back a Super Dooper or eating a Whiz Fizz....'those were the best days of my life'. Adams has won several musical awards, some even for film scores. It was in March of 2011 that Bryan was given the 2435th star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Did I mention Bryan's Maltese inherited ancestry? All thanks to his grandmother. Tickets for the shows go on sale Wednesday June 29 at 9am, with pre-sale tickets available from today June 23 at 12 noon AEST... As this story goes to air.... I can report that I have just scored tickets in the very front row for the Melbourne show!
AUSTRALIA has been gripped by the volcanic ash crisis that has rocked Chile and Argentina. Airports have been thrown into chaos, with many flights delayed or even cancelled. Some amazing photographs have emerged straight from the volcanic region with many residents still in complete disbelief. As thousands of travellers lay stranded in states or airports, many towns in the South American region are covered in a horror looking layer of grey ash. As many as 500 flights were cancelled with some airlines ceasing services completely. Qantas has reportedly opened up their gates from 2pm yesterday with more than 20,000 passengers reportedly affected by the latest of natural disasters. These raw images from Reuters. 
You will see snippets or complete tracks shot from within the private VIP Splash Zone or at the base of the catwalk. Video highlights cover tracks Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love), Love At First Sight, Better The Devil You Know, Closer/Looking For An Angel/There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) - Kylie's ode to the Eurythmics, watch as she glides over the top of me sitting on the back of an airborne human angel! A magical experience! I also have Kylie on the back of a gold chariot, towed by leather clad naked male slaves for I Believe In You, fan favourite Better The Devil You Know, special duet Especially For You at the request of the audience, opening show track Aphrodite and the amazing finale - All The Lovers. A rare look, with two separate videos; one from Tuesday - filmed from the end of the catwalk, followed by the spectacular footage shot from within the Splash Zone on Wednesday. The closing spine chilling rendition of All The Lovers was recorded from a very wet Splash Zone - a moment that will live with me forever!
The colour and costume combination was immaculate, the glitter and feather a complete standout. No matter where you were in the stadium, you would be sure to witness her best audio visual presentation. There is no doubt, that Kylie Minogue put every bit of detail into ensuring this show would be her best. She did not disappoint. Pulled on the back of a gold chariot, Kylie waved to the crowd as she sung I Believe In You, a fan favourite while her team of muscled men tugged away step by step to show Kylie to the world. Fans from within the Splash Zone were in awe as it was the first track to get Kylie out amongst the crowd. Kylie then headed towards the end of the catwalk and the tip of the runway to a sea of fans in the general admission viewing area. The track Slow was breathtaking, as Kylie jazzed up her rendition of the song, her team of purple feathered female dancers were hoisted at a 'slow' gradual speed and tilted to face the crowd. I hope these photographs give you some indication about how brilliant this spectacle was put together.
