Queensland MP pleads with Taylor Swift to bring her tour to town

<p dir="ltr">When international music sensation <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/music/taylor-swift-s-massive-news-sends-aussie-fans-into-a-frenzy">Taylor Swift announced her international tour dates</a>, most Australian fans fell into one of two categories: delighted or devastated.</p> <p dir="ltr">For while the star was answering the prayers of thousands and bringing her Eras Tour down under, she was only set to play in Sydney and Melbourne, leaving a number of other major cities out of the loop. </p> <p dir="ltr">And while most took to social media to share their heartbreak, some even <a href="https://www.change.org/p/get-taylor-swift-to-brisbane">launching a change.org petition</a> to bring her their way, one Queensland MP and Swift superfan opted instead to share his heartbreak with reporters down in Canberra. </p> <p dir="ltr">Andrew Wallace, who joined the Swiftie ranks thanks to car rides with his daughters and a soundtrack courtesy of the singer-songwriter’s impressive catalogue, also seized it as an opportunity to beg Taylor to reconsider her tour dates, and bless Brisbane with her presence.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Interestingly, there is about a week in between her three concerts in Sydney and two concerts in Melbourne. That is the perfect opportunity,” he pointed out. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Taylor, I’m asking you, begging you, I’m pleading with you. I’ll get down on my knees if I have to. Please come to Queensland. There are so many Swiftie fans in Queensland. I am one of them.”</p> <p dir="ltr">As he went on to note, addressing “the guys at Frontier Touring”, it wasn’t clear why Queensland had been left out, as “it’s the first time Taylor will be visiting Australia and not Queensland.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Wallace wasn’t the only one with strong feelings on the matter either, with Sports Minister - and fellow Queenslander - Anika Wells dropping by the press conference to announce that it was an “outrage” to be excluded, and Taylor should know that all too well. </p> <p dir="ltr">However, Wallace wasn’t going to hold it against Taylor, promising that their love story would continue as “no one would ever be able to develop ‘Bad Blood’ between myself and Taylor Swift. It just would not be possible.”</p> <p dir="ltr">He even went on to dedicate <a href="http://andrewwallacemp.com.au/taylorswift/">an entire section of his own website</a> to the cause, where he reiterated that he was “the dad of four daughters, and I’m an unashamed Swiftie. And I’m a proud Queenslander who knows that thousands of fans are disappointed to see Queensland left off the Eras Tour map.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I’m calling on Frontier Touring to extend Taylor’s tour to Queensland – and particularly to the Sunshine Coast, the heart of Queensland’s Swiftie population … we know that a visit to the Sunshine Coast would mean the world to tens of thousands of Queenslanders who think the absolute world of Taylor Swift.” </p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: Facebook</em></p>

Prince Charles' real "soulmate" revealed

<p>A royal biographer claims Prince Charles has a real “soulmate” that he had fallen for, before Princess Camilla, or even Princess Di. </p> <p>Penny Juror said Prince Charles was romantically linked to a younger woman after he was involved with Duchess Camilla in the early seventies and before he married the late Princess Di on July 29, 1981. </p> <p>The woman was Davina Sheffield, and according to Juror was a woman who “seemed ideal in many ways.”</p> <p>Prince Charles was the most eligible bachelor in the world throughout the 70’s and 80’s. </p> <p>Juror wrote in her 2005 book<span> </span>The Firm,<span> </span>that Prince Charles ruined the relationship he began with beautiful and alluring Davina by rekindling with his old flame, Camilla. </p> <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUt-IoDSuw/" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;"><a style="color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUt-IoDSuw/" target="_blank">Mrs Jake Morley [nee Davina Mary Sheffield] born 1 March 1950; former girlfriend of the Prince of Wales; sister-in-law of Miranda, Duchess of Beaufort. #DavinaMorley #DavinaSheffield #fawbs</a></p> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;">A post shared by <a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/ernest_fawbert/" target="_blank"> Fawbert</a> (@ernest_fawbert) on Apr 16, 2019 at 9:49am PDT</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>"In 1976, the prince fell for another girl, Davina Sheffield, who could have been the soulmate he was searching for," she wrote. </p> <p>"She seemed ideal in so many ways, and they appeared to be very much in love. </p> <p>"But she already had a boyfriend when Charles met her, an Old Harrovian and powerboat racer named James Beard. </p> <p>"Davina initially rebuffed invitations to have dinner with the Prince, but he was so persistent that she eventually succumbed and the boyfriend soon fell by the wayside. </p> <p>"He was subsequently conned into talking about his relationship with Davina by what turned out to be a Sunday tabloid reporter and the story of their affair, complete with photographs of their 'love nest', made headline news. </p> <p>"It killed the relationship stone dead." </p> <p>The couple were introduced by Charle’s sister Princess Anne.

Rowena Wallace reveals the biggest secret from her time on Sons and Daughters

<p>Actress Rowena Wallace has revealed the biggest secret from her time starring in <em>Sons and Daughters </em>in the 1980s.</p> <p>Wallace said when she was 35 she had a passionate night with co-star Peter Phelps, who was 13 years her junior and played her son on the show.</p> <p>“We had both had the odd drink or four," the now 70-year-old actress told the Daily Telegraph.</p> <p>“And it just happened. I knew I was very fond of Pete in a working relationship and that he enjoyed working with me, but I never imagined that we felt like that towards each other. We made jokes of course on set like, ‘Gee Pete you look good today’ but all just in jest. I blame the booze for what occurred between us.”</p> <p><em>Sons and Daughters</em> aired from 1981 to 1987 and Wallace took home a Gold Logie and four silver gongs for her performance of Pat the Rat on the show.</p> <p>Phelps played her on-screen son John Palmer and Ally Fowler played her daughter Angela Hamilton.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img width="500" height="374" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7266309/2_500x374.jpg" alt="2 (44)"/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Peter Phelps and Rowena Wallace. </em></p> <p>The passionate night occurred after the cast had a weekly drinking session.</p> <p>“Pete and I, for some strange reason, ended up breaking away from the rest of the crew and ended up on our own,” she said.</p> <p>“We wound up in fact all the way over on the northern beaches in Sydney, where Peter lived on his own in an apartment near the surf. We were down on the beach after having a few drinks when Pete suggested we go for a late-night swim. I stripped down to my knickers.</p> <p>“Pete was incredibly tanned and handsome with a body to match. When we got out of the surf he said to me, ‘You probably had too much to drink to make your way all the way back to yours, so come and bunk down at mine’, so I did.</p> <p>“We arrived at his empty apartment, had a coffee and chatted for a while, then, before I knew it, we were in the bedroom and as we climbed into bed, the rest is history.”</p> <p>Wallace said the pair did not feel awkward the next morning.</p> <p>“We both laughed about it in fact, as I joked to him saying you know I am your mother — on screen that is. We both realised it was just something nice that had happened but it wasn’t going to continue and we both accepted that. I don’t regard it at all as a mistake.”</p> <p>Did you used to watch <em>Sons and Daughters</em>? Who was your favourite character? Let us know in the comments below. </p>
