Angels and Airwaves + Madina Lake + Framing Hanley sidewaves announced!

Tom DeLonge needs no introduction. Forming ANGELS & AIRWAVES during Blink 182’s hiatus, they have gone on to reach critical success leading an army of die-hard fans.

Combining epic melodies and monstrous arena rock choruses ANGELS & AIRWAVES debut album ‘We Don’t Need to Whisper’ had Kerrang! calling it “bold and brilliant…with some stunning moments of perfection…euphoric”.

ANGELS & AIRWAVES take the listener on a musical journey and this is nowhere more prevalent than their new albums ‘Love: Parts One & Two’ which sees the band at their ethereal best.

Possessing an epic and electrifying live show; ANGELS & AIRWAVES play two exclusive Sidewaves in Sydney and Melbourne.

MADINA LAKE has endured more in the past two years than most artists will experience in their entire career. There were moments of terror, trepidation and triumph and all those moments have been captured in the bands entrancing and enthralling final part of their immersive album trilogy “World War III”. It is their most powerful and heartfelt album yet with Alternative Press declaring it a “record drenched in electronics, shot through with ass-shaking grooves and boasting towering refrains designed to be sung by thousands of voices.”

Having mastered the art of writing irresistible choruses and powerful rock anthems, FRAMING HANLEY have been turning heads since their inception. FRAMING HANLEY’S meteoric rise is set to continue with the release of their sophomore album ‘ A Promise To Burn’ full of “ good old no-nonsense rock anthems” – Rock Sound

David Hasselhoff Joins The Celebrity Apprentice Australia; Dog Day For The Hoff

"The Hoff" flew in to Sydney, Australia yesterday off the long flight from London, but Hasselhoff didn't look too worse for wear.

Yesterday he was doing Bondi Beach and today he tipped off the world via his Twitter that he would be at Alexandria today, and "The Hoff" didn't disappoint.

Today he appeared in a motivator type role for Australia's Celebrity Apprentice as he participated in the celebrity dog wash antics at Sydney Park, Alexandria, in front of an appreciative crowd of almost a thousand (and a few hundred dogs).

Ian "Dicko" Dickson and Vince Sorrenti appeared to be the most vocal on the megaphone in getting pooch (and Hoff) lovers to part with their hard earned cash. All had to work hard as the celeb dog wash and other doggie activities occurred in 30 something degrees heat. Hoff was able to cool off a bit with his young girlfriend and was seen reaching for the sweat rag more than once. Hoff's son seemed to enjoy himself, and former AFL star Jason Akermanis was frequently running around the park's stalls. Even Batman and The Joker from DC Comics fame showed up for the fun. On the other side of the park the women's team got into the spirit of things too, but Hoff's team drew the biggest crowd 10:1. All the talent we spoke with today were very friendly and seemed to genuinely appreciate the strong turn out.

When quizzed about his favourite breed of dog, Hasselhoff joked "Hoff Dog", which got a nice reaction from the crowd. His shirt removal appeared to get the biggest pop from the crowd and as you would expect news media and fans focused in on Hoff's chest.

To their credit, event organisers offered water to the crowd. Police were on hand for the event and its understood things ran smoothly throughout.

Channel Nine producers believe former Baywatch star Hasselhoff will guarantee the second series of Apprentice will make global headlines.

Hasselhoff is appearing on the show to raise money for his nominated charity, Starlight Foundation.

Today he joined other signings including outspoken and gay AFL identity Jason Akermanis, former Australian Idol judge Ian "Dicko" Dickson and others. Also participating in today's dog mania was comedian Vince Sorrenti, Ben Dark and Tania Zaetta and Lauryn Eagle were on the ladies team.

Thousands of dollars was raised today but we understand you will have to tune into Channel Nine to find out exactly what the final $ bottom line was.

Filming of the new Australian celebrity Apprentice began in Sydney this week.

The show will once again be hosted by Australian finance guru Mark Bouris.

This coming Celebrity Apprentice is expected to rate higher than the last series, and if a success, producers will consider a third time lucky run. Woof.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island Australian Tour; Sydney Red Carpet Premiere

Vanessa Hudgens (Suckerpunch and High School Musical) and Josh Hutcherson (Journey to the Centre of the Earth and The Hunger Games) are in Sydney, Australia, where earlier tonight they did the Australian movie premiere for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island at Event Cinemas, George Street.

Hudgens had flew in to Sydney, up from Melbourne, at 1pm, and was flanked by publicity officials at Sydney Airport.

Australia has really grown on Hudgens over the past few years...

"I love Australia so much," she said.

"My best friend is actually from here, and I really love the place."

The 23 year old said the chance to work opposite dual Academy Award winner Sir Michael Caine, 78, was too good to pass up.

"It was a great cast, and we had so much fun," Hudgens said. "We filmed in Hawaii, which was paradise, and made something that's fun and light-hearted for the whole family."

Hudgens' Australian connections were enhanced last year when she starred in Sucker Punch, a fantasy thriller also featuring Aussie star Abbie Cornish.

"Abbie is one of the most incredible women I know," Hudgens said.

"She's so strong-willed, very interesting and extremely creative - a beautiful soul."

A Few Best Men Red Carpet Movie Premiere In Sydney, Australia

A Few Best Men enjoyed its Sydney red carpet premiere earlier this evening at Bondi Junction's Event Cinema.

In essence, it's a a comedy about a groom and his three best men who travel to the Australian outback for a wedding.

The flick has numerous Sydney based media men and women tipping that this may be just the start of a reinvigoration of Olivia Newton-John's acting career, but its really too early to know for sure. Maybe O-N-J and her agent know something we don't.

Twilight Eclipse hunk Xavier Samuel stars as the film's hapless bridegroom.

British thespians Kris Marshall (Death At A Funeral) Kevin Bishop (Spanish Apartment), and Australian comedy star Rebel Wilson was there, as was Laura Brent (Chronicles of Narnia), Steve Le Marquand (Beneath Hill 60) and Tangle actor Tim Draxl. Even local MP Malcolm Turnbull and wife Lucy showed up in support.

The flick, which was filmed in Sydney and the Blue Mountains, is hoped to be a return to form for Elliott, who has had mixed success since his 1994 smash hit The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.

It's quite an unlikely acting platform for Newton-John, who many film industry commentators say her last decent film role was alongside John Travolta in Two of a Kind back in 1983.

Elliott told the media that the Aussie singer/actress has fitted in well with the rest of the cast.

"She's great. Everyone's coming together really well and she's really getting into it," he said.

A Few Best Men opens in cinemas nationally on January 26, 2012.

Director: Stephan Elliott
Writers: Dean Craig
Stars: Rebel Wilson, Olivia Newton-John and Xavier Samuel
