BILLIE BOAST Waiting on the new Billie Eilish album to drop? Saaame! Camp Billie have been tight-lipped about deets regarding a follow up to When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? But a post on her official Instagram spilled the beans. The post in question appeared at the start of February, showing Billie working away at the mixing desk, along with the caption “almost done”. We’re hopeful the finished product could drop at the end of the year, or at the very least, new singles real soon. Stay tuned in the coming months, TGs! SONIC SEQUEL It’s been confirmed – there will be a live-action follow up to 2020’s Sonic the Hedgehog movie! Plot details are still yet to surface but take a close look at the teaser…

Her ponytail would have magical powers It would be as tough as steel. She would use it like Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth to fight bad guys in combat, or to scale tall buildings – Rapunzel-style. Ari, Ari, let down your hair! Her voice would be enchanted We all know Ari has the most mesmerising voice ever, so it would be no surprise if she could use it like a superpower – some type of mind-controlling melody. She would sing a sweet tune and the baddies would fall instantly asleep. OK, that’s basically the same power as Pokémon’s Jigglypuff but it is super cool! She would have super style Ari would have the BEST style as a warrior princess. But, there would be more to her outfit than meets the…

Bop to the top With this dance record, you’ll be feeling on top of the world! What’s the world record for the highest dance party on land? Nope, not a rooftop concert, how about the top of Mount Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa. True story! In 2019, a DJ and a group of climbers set the Guinness World Record for the highest altitude dance party on land. The dance jam went for 20 minutes – the DJ played a short and sweet set while other climbers joined in. Mount Kilimanjaro is about 5,892 metres high, so if you’re afraid of heights, this party wouldn’t be your (dance) vibe. As the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro is also one of the Seven Summits of the world. About 50…

TG’s BLUSH of the MONTH Sugar, spice and everything’s sahhh salty!  We were having a school fundraiser and I was in charge of the cookie stall. When I was making the 100 cookies, I accidentally used table salt instead of sugar! OMG! (Let’s just say, I didn’t make much money for the guide dogs). Emma Olivia Rodrigo I recently mentioned that I used to write One Direction fan fiction, which is so embarrassing. Niall Horan texted me and said, “I heard you wrote One Direction fan fiction. I have to hear all about it.” I was like, ‘OMG, this is so embarrassing’. Sorry sis... We were in Paris, and our mum was dragging us around through the boutiques. There was one shop that had a steep ramp. My sister, Estelle,…

Loving, living, turning it up! We’ve loved her since her Sam & Catdays, we’ve rocked the Ari ponytail and yep, we’re still blasting hits ‘Break Free’ and ‘thank u, next’ at TG HQ whenever we get the chance. But there’s something more to Ariana Grande (than her 223 million social media fans) that puts her on the map. The singer has just broken the world record for the most songs to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. A total of five No. 1 debuts is a pretty awesome (OK, epic!) achievement since she’s currently the only artist to have accomplished this in history. Amazing! That’s not her only record either, more on that next. Around the globe with 20 world records Yaasss, girl! Did you know Ari…

1. Camera First, you need to get a camera! Different cameras require different skill levels and even have different uses – some are digital, some use film, some are disposable. Start with a basic digital camera and get the hang of all the settings. Or ask your ’rents if you can borrow their smart phone to practise taking outdoor photos. 2. Lighting Lighting is super important because it can impact the quality of your photo! The more natural light you let in, the brighter your photo will be. It’s best if the main source of light is facing towards the person or thing you’re taking a photo of. For a softer look, frame the light behind the person so that the light shines over them. There are names for different…

Hey Total Girl, My name is Jayla and I am seven. Here is a photo of me relaxing after a long day of shopping, ready to unwind. I’ve been a TG fan for a very long time.

Lots of love, Jayla Hey Jayla, It’s sooo cool that your Aunt was featured in our mags – and now you…

New Disney animated movie sports a total girl-boss heroine! Long ago, the world of Kumandra was a place of peace. Humans and dragons coexisted and kept a perfect balance. 500 years later and dragons are but a distant memory. Harmony that once bound the people of Kumandra is all but bare threads, frayed and quickly losing its grip. Joined by her trusty steed Tuk Tuk (a part bug, part pug creature), and a crew of misfits, Raya embarks on dangerous adventure. In order to save her fellow humans and combat an ancient evil, she must find the last dragon! Raya is everything we love in a hero. She’s brave, daring and fearless. We can see similarities between her and Moana, which makes sense, as the movie comes from the same…

LISTEN UP! ‘Silver Whispers’ Maari Sydney duo Maari make pop music that belongs in a movie just as much as it does on the pop charts. Funnily enough, the pair not only write synth-soaked tunes, but they also compose movie soundtracks. You may have caught their work in last year’s The Legend of the Five – a great Australian-made fantasy flick that also featured in our entertainment pages. If you frequently find yourself singing along to Disney faves like Frozen or Moana, then this group is totes for you! SCREEN TIME! The World’s a Little Blurry There is so much love around the world for Billie.
