Whitney Houston's daughter celebrated her 17th birthday yesterday in Australia -- and her soul diva mother marked the occasion by singing to her in front of a stadium packed with 12,000 people.
According to People, halfway through Whitney's show last night in Adelaide, a cake was rolled out and she sang "Happy Birthday" to daughter Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown, who joined her on stage.
In a performance that can only be described as rocky at best, a sweat-drenched Whitney Houston attempted to sing her hit "I Will Always Love You" during a concert Monday night in Australia.
Whitney's weirdness reaches its peak right before she's supposed to hit the high note -- when she suddenly turns around, walks over to a table behind her, and then spends an excessive amount of time gearing up for the big finish.
When Whitney finally gets ready, she comes back to the mic and belts out the chorus to the song ... and let's just say she gets an E for Effort.
Placating a crowd of black people with a bucket of chicken is considered good marketing by Kentucky Fried Chicken in Australia -- but it's causing a bit of a fervor here in the States.
The ad shows a very distressed white guy, surrounded by a crowd of black people at a cricket match, who wonders, "Need a tip when you're stuck in an awkward situation?" He gets out of the "awkward situation" by handing them a bucket of chicken.
A rep for KFC Australia told a local paper, "It is a light-hearted reference to the West Indian cricket team ... The ad was reproduced online in the US without KFC's permission, where we are told a culturally-based stereotype exists, leading to the incorrect assertion of racism."
UPDATE -- We just got this statement: "KFC Australia is removing the television advertisement that was being run in conjunction with the Australian cricket season. We apologize for any misinterpretation of the ad as it was not meant to offend anyone."
We told you the story -- now we have the black and white proof that Tiger Woods' childhood friend and employee secretly flew Tiger's alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel to Australia to be with him.
TMZ has obtained the flight itinerary along with emails between Rachel and Bryon Bell -- detailing how Bryon organized a trip for Rachel to fly last month from New York to L.A. to Australia to Dubai and back to L.A.
In the emails, Bryon wrote, "Here are the details for all the flights. Sorry for all the changes. I look forward to meeting you tomorrow. Bryon." Rachel sent an email to someone afterward, forwarding the itinerary and saying, "My schedule so u have it in case the plane goes down."
As we first reported, Bryon Bell, President of Tiger Woods Design, purchased the plane ticket for Rachel and flew with her to Australia, where Tiger was playing the Australian Masters. He also paid for Rachel's room at the Crown Towers Hotel in Melbourne -- the same place Tiger was staying.
TMZ has learned one of Tiger Woods' employees helped the golfer secretly rendezvous with at least one woman with whom he allegedly had a sexual relationship.
Sources say Bryon Bell, a childhood friend and President of Tiger Woods Design, bought a plane ticket for Rachel Uchitel to go to Australia in mid-November to secretly spend time with Tiger.
The ticket was purchased by Bell using a credit card. He also booked a room for Uchitel at the Crown Towers Hotel in Melbourne.
The trip coincided with the Australian Masters -- which Tiger won.
We've learned Bell actually flew with Uchitel to Melbourne and both had rooms at the hotel.
Britney Spears' arm-waving, lip-synched world tour has finally come to an end -- but there was still a circus waiting for her last night when she arrived at LAX.
Brit Brit returned from down undah with an Aussie flag pillow to rest her weave on -- and a sea of paparazzi ready to snap away.
Britney Spears has lost it -- and by that, we mean all her touring equipment.
TMZ has learned a bus carrying all off Britney's tour equipment rolled off the road in Parkes, New South Wales in Australia.
According to police there, it happened around 4:30 PM during a bad storm. The winds became too strong and blew the truck off the road, rolling it over.
Police say the driver was taken to the hospital, but the equipment was undamaged.
So Britney has all the tools to lip sync tonight at the Rod Laver Arena tonight.
With his Brooke-alike girlfriend on one side and some fellow wrestling goons on the other, Hulk Hogan took time out from bleeding all over the place to char his topless man breasts in the Australian sun on Monday.
Hopefully, the 56-year-old and his gal used protection.
If you thought Hulk Hogan was going to lose the main event at something called the Hulkamania Tour, then OJ Simpson wants you on his next jury.
In a shocking turn of events, Hogan was victorious over Ric Flair in Melbourne, Australia last night. Hogan was bloodied, but prevailed -- much like he was when then the two "fought" during a press conference Wednesday to promote the event.
It's good to see Hulk back to fighting grown men in tights, rather than fighting grown women in court.
After being slammed by Aussie fans, media, and politicians for her first concert, Britney Spears left her hotel in Perth this morning to get ready for her second show there.
All Britney needs is a little support and she'll be fine.
Britney Spears has lost it -- and by that, we mean all her touring equipment.
