Disney launches new range of princess gowns

Disney has collaborated with the Japanese wedding company, Kuraudia Co, on a new wedding line that consists of 14 dresses, taking after six of their princesses.

Brides can choose between Belle, Ariel, Rapunzel, Aurora (AKA Sleeping Beauty), Snow White and Cinderella.

These gowns are only available for rent. Buying one will set one back $3,600 (£2,687) a piece. But it’s worth it to spend the day looking like a princess stepped out of a fairytale, right?

And here is a bad news! The dresses are currently only available in Japan.


Aerosmith’s South American shows cancelled

Aerosmith cancelled the remainder of their South American Tour as lead singer Steven Tyler experienced ‘unexpected medical issues.’

In a statement released on Tyler’s Twitter account, the rock star said he was not in a life-threatening situation and that he was ordered by doctors to stay home and rest.

“To everybody in South America ... Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Mexico ... I’m very sorry and feel like I’ve let you down .... I won’t be able to continue the last four shows of this tour. I flew back to the US on doctor’s orders last night after the show in Sao Paulo,” added Tyler.

Aerosmith was scheduled to play in Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Mexico.


Depp loves his Jack Sparrow costume

Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer behind the multi-billion dollar Pirates of The Caribbean franchise, says Johnny Depp carries his Jack Sparrow costume everywhere.

Why? Well, because “This is a character he loves,” Bruckheimer revealed. “I don’t know if you saw the news recently... when he’s filming in Vancouver, he put on his Captain Jack outfit and visited the children’s hospital for terminally ill kids, and he comes back over

and over again. He carries that costume everywhere, he’s done it in England he’s gone to some of your hospitals there and entertained kids, so it’s a thing he really loves.”

It seems that not only the world loves the naughty villain character, but Depp himself is obsessed with it.
