Malia Obama busts a move at Lollapalooza music festival

She may have decided to miss the DNC but that didn't stop Malia Obama from dancing her heart out at Lollapalooza.

As she prepares to leave the White House and begin life as a college student at the ivy league school, Harvard, Malia let off some much needed steam at the Chicago music festival.

The 18-year-old was filmed twerking and acting like a teenager… because she is a teen!

Engaging in the timeless tradition of rocking out at a music festival, the President’s eldest looked euphoric as she jammed with her friends to Mac Miller’s set.

Twitter went loco with the sighting of the teen, who blended in with the crowds at the music festival – with the exception of her standout squad, plaid-wearing the Secret Service.

One user, @idkdalia, posted a snap with the caption: “so malia obama was next to me at lolla today”.

The President recently spoke about Malia’s graduation, admitting he was just like any other dad watching his little girl enter the real world.

“Some of you may know that on Friday, my elder daughter Malia graduated from high school.”

“And I sat in the back and wore dark glasses,” Obama told the audience at the United States of Women Summit.

The teen was just another attendee at the music festival.

“And I only cried once, but it was, I made this weird sound because I was choking back, and people looked at me. People sitting in front of us turned back, and then I suppressed it.”

With a sound head on her shoulders, Michelle and Barack couldn’t be prouder of the 18-year-old.

Following the end of her secondary education, joining her mum and sister Sasha, the trio traveled to Liberia, Morocco and Spain as part of the Let Girls Learn international initiative.

How time flies! The Obama girls have grown up in the spotlight, maintaining their dignity!

“When I first elected to this office, Malia was just ten and Sasha was seven. And they grow up too fast,” the 54-year-old dad mused during a state dinner. “Now Malia is going off to college… And I’m starting to choke up.”

Malia was just 10-years-old when her father became America’s first black president.

The family, including her younger sister Sasha moved into the White House in 2008, and the pair have grown-up in the spotlight.

Many fans have noticed how relaxed and likeable the girls are – often laughing at their father’s “dad jokes” and always acting their age.

Earlier this year, we got a rare insight to the siblings.

A snap, that of course went viral, showed Malia giving her little sister a double-thumbs up while she spoke to Ryan Reynolds at a State Dinner at the White House… Watch the moment in the player below!

Set to attend Harvard next year, we say, “Keep on dancing Malia!”

Michael Douglas’ son Cameron released from prison after nearly seven years

Cameron Douglas, the eldest son of Michael Douglas, has been released from prison after nearly seven years.

The actor is thrilled after his son’s extended sentence is cut short.

Michael Douglas’s son Cameron has finally been let out of prison after nearly seven years of being locked up.

The eldest son of the actor wasn’t supposed to be released until next year, but Page Six reports that his sentence has been cut short.

Cameron Douglas with father Michael Douglas and stepmother Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The 37-year-old was arrested back in 2009 for possessing and selling drugs, and was sentenced to five years.

His term was then extended after he was caught smuggling drugs into prison.

Actor Kirk Douglas and wife Anne Douglas and actor Michael Douglas, wife Diandra Douglas and son Cameron Douglas in 1991.

What made a bad situation worse for Cameron’s family is that his two-year extension was to be served in solitary confinement, meaning he could have no visitors.

Michael’s son with his ex-wife Diandra Luker is reportedly planning on writing an expose book on his time in the correctional facility.

“Cameron will talk about his struggle being the son and grandson of Hollywood icons, and then his bad decisions which led him to jail, and then solitary confinement,” a source close to the family confessed.

“He is staying low-key after his release and plans to spend time with his father and mother. He believes this is a new start, and a chance at a new life.”

Michael Dougla and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones arrive at the Provo Airport with children Carys, Dylan, and Cameron Douglas and his girlfirend Kelly Sott in 2007.

Michael spoke about his son’s treatment at the hands of the prison system in his 2013 acceptance speech for Behind the Candelabra.

“At first I was certainly disappointed with my son, but I’ve reached a point now where I’m disappointed with the system,” he said.

“If you happen to have a slip, they punish you. In my son’s case, he has spent almost two years in solitary confinement.”

Cameron talks about his strong bond with his dad in the video below.

Princess Di’s wedding dress designer dishes on Pippa’s gown

Pippa Middleton is planning her wedding to James Matthews – and we can expect her wedding dress to be breathtaking!

Pippa Middleton is engaged — so what will she wear on her big day?

In a new interview, the co-designer of Princess Diana’s iconic wedding dress suggested Pippa, 32, should steer clear of a gown that resembles the dress her older sister, Kate Middleton, donned at her 2011 royal wedding to Prince William.

“I personally, would put her in something very soft, perhaps chiffon, with a train of course because it’s dramatic. Possibly a little lace bodice, soft and fluid, I mean she’s got a great shape,” David Emanuel told the Daily Mail.

“And I would say the complete opposite of Kate just so she makes her own statement really. Soft and pretty,” he added.

In another interview, style expert Hilary Alexander revealed Pippa will likely choose a British designer to create her wedding gown. “She could go for something lavish and romantic by Marchesa or upmarket luxe by Ralph & Russo,” Alexander said.

Pippa announced her engagement to hedge fund manager James Matthews, 40, on Sunday, July 17. We can’t wait to see what she wears on her wedding day!

But before her big day, let’s look back at her time in white at her sister’s royal wedding in 2011 – click through to see more!

Princess Beatrice quits her job for a new career

Princess Beatrice turns her back on her fourth job in five years.

But rumours swirl the royal was fired, after she turns her back on her fourth job in five years.

Princess Beatrice has reportedly resigned from her New York job to make a bid at launching her own start-up company.

The daughter of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York has grand plans to become a business consultant and has given up her steady job to branch out on her own.

It’s the fourth job she’s left in the past five years, but this time she reportedly has a firm plan in place to embrace her “entrepreneurial ambitions”.

But not immediately, as the Princess is currently holidaying in the Greek Islands with a group of friends, following a previous sojourn a few weeks ago to the south of France.

It was reported in June that the 27-year-old had actually been let go from her New York position, but this was denied by her aides who said she’d only been in Britain because of a “work project” and to attend Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday celebrations.

But the Daily Mail revealed recently that Beatrice had not been to her work for two months and her employers Sandbridge had said she was no longer with the company.

Close insiders have now revealed the young royal is pursuing her start-up business with the full backing of her former workplace and bosses.

Prince Andrew, Duke of York,Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice at a National Service of Thanksgiving as part of the 90th birthday celebrations this year.

“She is creating a start-up consultancy backed by, and in association with, the group she worked with.

“She and some other people have set up a consultancy business under the auspices of Sandbridge Capital,” the source confessed.

The friend of the Princess reiterated that she had not been sacked, saying: “She was working, she resigned and is now concentrating her efforts on this start-up.

“She wanted to be more entrepreneurial, so she has set up her own unit within the group, but as a separate unit.”

Another friend lashed out people gossiping about the job status of the Queen’s granddaughter.

“Beatrice is a young girl making her own way in the world and finding her feet,” the friend explained. “She should be applauded for striking out on her own, not vilified.”

Rebecca Judd snubs awkward kiss from co-host Tony Jones

And the whole uncomfortable moment was broadcast live for all to see.
Loading the player...

As far as painful moments on television go, we reckon this one rates pretty highly.

Rebecca Judd snubbed a kiss from her co-host Tony Jones live on air, turning her cheek and recoiling at the last second.

The Channel Nine presenter, who is expecting twin boys in October, had been getting a send off from colleagues Peter Hitchener and Tony Jones, when the weird moment occurred.

A heavily pregnant Rebecca had been listening to well wishes from Peter and Tony when the latter decided to put his arm around her.

Rebecca looks calm here, but she’d just about jumped out of her seat two seconds beforehand!

The mother of two jumped when he touched her arm, only to flinch right away when Tony leant in for a “good luck” kiss on the cheek.

She yelped, before breaking into fits of embarrassed laughter.

That awkward moment…

Tony clearly felt the awkward moment deeply, blushing, before regaining his composure, crossing his arms and saying “OK, good. This is going well,” in a sarcastic tone.

Peter attempted unsuccessfully to diffuse the situation. “You’re funny,” he said, having a chuckle with the 33-year-old wife of Chris Judd, before continuing with his bulletin.

She’s about to be a mum of four! See how Rebecca juggles modelling and motherhood below. Post continues!

Chris and Rebecca can’t wait to add two more to their family.

The riotous laughter only continued, and the trio could be seen giggling into the break, with Tony doubled over with embarrassment.

Rebecca took to Instagram to address the odd moment.

“’Okaaaaaaaaay then. Final weather bulletin before maternity leave didn’t quite go to plan but as always, thanks to my wonderful @9newsmelbourne family for the laughs. @phitchener9 @tonyjones9,” she posted, next to a photo of herself with the pair.

Bec Judd’s on air snub leaves sports reporter red faced

Awkward!

Awkward!

Bec Judd said goodbye to her 9NEWS team before going on maternity leave last night but her exit was one that will be remembered.

The media personality, who is expecting twins with her husband Chris Judd, was in the middle of bidding adieu to Melbourne news anchor Peter Hitchener when sports reporter Tony Jones thought it might be nice to say his goodbyes on air too.

Among the pleasantries Jones, who had his arm around Judd, leaned in for a kiss but just before the his lips could make contact with Bec’s cheek she turned away in a terribly awkward snub.

Later a red faced Jones turned to Twitter to highlight his embarrassment but a cheery Bec assured him there was no love lost.

But this isn’t the first time Bec has rejected Tony live on air.

In 2013 after Judd telling viewers they were in store for a “nice and sunny for the weekend” Jones suggested the weather presenter “come round for a barbie”.

“No thanks,” Judd said a giggly Judd.

Shannen Doherty reveals her breast cancer has spread

The actress delivered the heartbreaking news in a very emotional television interview.
Loading the player...

Devastating news for Shannen Doherty amid her battle with breast cancer.

The actress revealed that her cancer has spread in a heartbreaking interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Watch Shannen talk about her emotional journey and the moment she knew she had to shave her head in the video below. Post continues.

Loading the player...

Shannen revealed she’s frightened for her future in her sit-down interview.

“I had breast cancer that spread to the lymph nodes, and from one of my surgeries we discovered that some of the cancer cells might have actually gone out of the lymph nodes,” the Charmed actress told ET.

“So for that reason, we are doing chemo, and then after chemo, I’ll do radiation.”

The news comes after the brave actress took to social media to unveil a series of photographs of her shaving her head.

“I didn’t want someone taking a picture of me coming out of the grocery store and going, ‘Oh god, look at her,'” the 45-year-old explained.

“I wanted to put it out there the way that it felt the best for me to put it out there.”

The actress shared the moment she shaved off her locks with family and friends, before posting it on social media.

Shannen also confessed that she’d had a single mastectomy back in May, and says getting fitted for a new bra was much harder than she’d imagined.

“It was traumatic and horrible, and I didn’t think anything of it at the time, then my mom went with me and I broke down crying in the dressing room and ran out,” she recalls, now able to laugh about it. “And then sat in the car crying.”

Shannen is determined to stay public with her battle to help others who might also be fighting the disease and to raise awareness.

The 45-year-old says the bit that worries her most about her cancer battle is not knowing what’s going to happen.

“The unknown is always the scariest part,” she confessed. “Is the chemo going to work? Is the radiation going to work? You know, am I going to have to go through this again, or am I going to get secondary cancer?”

“Everything else is manageable. Pain is manageable, you know living without a breast is manageable, it’s the worry of your future and how your future is going to affect the people that you love.”

See Shannen’s raw, honest comments about her cancer diagnosis in the emotional clip below.

Why Paris Hilton fears she is a “definite target” for ISIS

I’m constantly moving around from one country to another and I’m a famous person who could be a definite target for an attack.
Paris Hilton.

Reality TV personality and hotel heiress Paris Hilton has revealed she fears she is a “definite target” for terror group ISIS.

Hilton, 35, who found fame on TV show The Simple Life, told a newspaper in Ibiza (where she is currently moonlighting as a DJ), ‘Diario de Ibiza’, that she fears she is on the proverbial hit list for the group.

“What’s happening is horrible. The recent attacks in Nice and Germany are terrible,” said Paris when she was asked if she felt safe travelling. “It’s something that disgusts and worries me. I travel a lot and I get frightened when I think about things like this.”

“I’m constantly moving around from one country to another and I’m a famous person who could be a definite target for an attack and that is something that sometimes terrifies me,” she said.

“But I’m also a very free person who tries not to be afraid of anything. I just make sure I always watch my back,” she continued. “I always go out alone and without security. Many celebs have ten bodyguards but I like to go out with my friends and be normal because I want to be like everyone else. I’m not going to give up anything.”

Unsurprisingly, Hilton used the same interview as an opportunity to endorse US presidential candidate Donald Trump, calling him a “good friend” and an “extraordinary businessman”.

“Donald is a very famous person who is in the eye of the storm,” said Paris, “I don’t know who will win the elections but I just want it to be the best person, whoever it is.”
