Delta Goodrem reveals fifth all-white wedding look as she continues to celebrate her big day
Delta Goodrem has shown off a fifth all-white wedding dress that she wore while celebrating her wedding. Goodrem married Matthew Copley at a 12th century cathedral in Malta, where he proposed, and wore three gowns by two of her favourite Australian designers when she walked down the aisle last month. In the latest pictures shared to her Instagram, Goodrem gave further insight into her celebrations where she was surrounded by her closest friends and family. In the romantic snaps, Goodrem posed against a stunning scenic backdrop before being joined by her new hubby as the pair both flashed a satisfied smile. 'I always knew what I wanted my wedding dress to be,' she told Vogue earlier this month. 'And I knew the perfect designer for it. Paul [Vasileff, creative director and designer of Paolo Sebastian] and I connected the second I got engaged, and we started working together immediately. I am very lucky I get to wear beautiful dresses as part of my job, so I wanted this one to feel super personal and very special.' The resulting lace gown 'was structured, yet still delicate and feminine', Goodrem said. 'It was a statement piece but a fairytale dress. The sweeping train and the tulle cathedral veil perfectly suited the style of the wedding and the surroundings.' Goodrem first shared snaps from her wedding when she took to social media earlier this month to first announce her big day. 'June 2025, Husband and Wife. It was more magical than we both could have dreamed,' she wrote. 'We said I do under the Maltese skies in a family fairytale wedding brought to life by so many angels surrounding us. We are holding on to every memory from that moment, the love, the laughter, the happy tears and dancing till the sun came up.' She added: 'We can't wait to come back to Australia and celebrate as Mr & Mrs.' Goodrem's near-decade-long relationship with Copley followed a string of high-profile romances with other celebrities – including Nick Jonas, Brian McFadden and Mark Philippoussis – earlier in her career.

‘What a joke': Justin Timberlake fans demand refunds after the star ‘barely sings' during latest concert
Justin Timberlake is facing ridicule after numerous videos from his latest concerts appeared to show him 'barely singing'. Timberlake is currently embarking on the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which has already sparked viral videos for all the wrong reasons. One video shared by a fan at the star's show at Electric Castle festival in Transylvania on July 17 shows the star appearing rather unenthused at the notion of having to perform. The clip shows the star during a performance of Can't Stop The Feeling, however, the word 'performance' appears to be quite a stretch. 'Is the rain always like this in the summer? No? So y'all cooked this up for me? Thanks,' he said complaining about the weather. He keeps holding the microphone at the crowd encouraging them to sing before pulling up his hood and singing a handful of words, then turning to the audience again. Another clip that went viral showed the star barely singing his smash hit Mirrors, with the caption from a fan saying: 'Go girl, give us nothing! 'Can yall just peep that attitude at the end too like he was mad yall didn't sing it loud enough. When he's the one getting paid to do that,' remarked one annoyed fan. Another agreed, replying: 'This is awful! People paid to be there and he just couldn't be bothered?' 'This performance literally could have been an email!' laughed a third, with another adding: 'I wasn't even there and I want a refund!' It comes after Timberlake sparked backlash earlier this year when he cancelled the final show of the US leg of his tour with just 12 minutes until showtime. 'You guys. I'm heartbroken. I have to cancel the show tonight,' Justin revealed on Instagram. 'I went into soundcheck battling the flu and now it's gotten the best of me. It kills me to disappoint you and my team who have worked so hard to make this show happen. I want to reassure you, you'll be getting refunds for your tickets. I love you all.' Fans rushed to lash out at the star for giving barely any notice, with one commenting: 'Cancelling because of being sick is 100% understandable. Cancelling 10 minutes before the doors were to open is unacceptable.' 'Bought almost 40 bucks in drinks tonight, was sitting in our seats, we thought the announcement was a joke. Paid 20 dollars in parking and now 2 vacation days wasted on this MF,' remarked another angry fan at the time.

Feature Video: The Last Dinner Party - This Is The Killer Speaking
It's the start of a new, bold era for The Last Dinner Party, who have taken out this week's Feature Video with the first release from their sophomore album, 'This Is The Killer Speaking'. It marks the band's eighth collaboration with director Harv Frost, who is also behind the band's previous music videos, including the short film 'Prelude to Ecstacy', a compilation of four music videos released last year. Similar to 'Prelude's' nods to Giallo films such as Suspiria and Profondo Rosso, dark fantasy features front and centre in 'This Is The Killer Speaking', with scenes of centaur women and a Jack the Ripper-esque figure alternating with the band's raucous performance in a neon-soaked saloon. 'This Is The Killer Speaking' is the first track to be released from The Last Dinner Party's sophomore album From The Pyre, which they say has been heavily influenced by the conscious mythologising of real-life events. 'This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them' explains the band. ''The Pyre' itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate, a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration, passion and light.' Speaking to Rolling Stone UK, vocalist Abigail Morris explains 'We'd found a new way of mythologising where everything that happened is true, but the whole record is about the nature of being an artist, and what does it mean to take a love story that happened to you, and to take that person and turn them into a character that's immortalised in a song. When does that person stop being the real person you were in a relationship with and start becoming a character that is separate from that? That, for me, is what a lot of these songs cover.'
