Set in the corridors of the Vatican at the time of the sudden and controversial death of Pope John Paul I only 33 days after his election, The Last Confession is a mystery thriller of biblical proportions.

The Vatican refuse to conduct an official investigation into the death of the Pope but the politically savvy Cardinal Bellini (David Suchet) who had engineered the election of Pope John Paul I is determined to find the truth.

Three Madonnas Take Centre Stage at Madame Tussauds Sydney

After over 20 years of a noticeable absence on the shores of Australia, today Madonna has finally made an exciting appearance in Sydney being welcome by fans at the iconic Opera House in the form of not one, but three wax figures, en route to Madame Tussauds.

The three styles of the legendary superstar represent Madonna from her most recent ‘MDNA’ tour, her ‘Sticky and Sweet’ tour as well as her infamous ‘Like a Virgin’ look that fans around the world know and love. Famous for her ever-changing style, the newest wax incarnation is inspired by her latest ‘MDNA’ tour and shows her in a dramatic performance pose wearing a fitted pinstriped trouser suit with a striking black metallic leather corset.

The second figure portrays Madonna at the outset of her meteoric rise to fame in her 1984 MTV ‘Like a Virgin’ grungy bridal outfit and the third shows her in the knee high black boots, black satin jacket, fingerless gloves and cane from her ‘Sticky and Sweet’ tour.



“This is a first time we have ever launched three different figures of one female performer here at Madame Tussauds, so it’s a very special event,” said Quinn Clarke, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Sydney. “We are very lucky to be able to bring together these three extremely striking portrayals of one of the most influential and iconic contemporary music artists of all time and we know fans are going to relish the opportunity to meet not one but three Madonnas.

The Madonna figures will be with us only for a limited time - until October 2014 - so those who want to see her in triplicate should make plans to do so now!!

The figures will be joining an iconic cast of female performers at Madame Tussauds including Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue, all of whom would have no doubt been inspired by the Queen of Pop and her iconic career.

THERE has been a red hot response to Cronulla's new ice age.

In a first, Sutherland Shire Council set up an ice skating rink in Cronulla Plaza for the school holidays.

Cronulla on Ice has generated a lot of interest as Nevada Buckley-Ash, 4, shows (pictured left).

"We've sold almost 7000 tickets so far, so it's been a great success," a Sutherland Shire Council spokeswoman said.

"It's been really popular with families during the day.

"We've seen a few groups of ladies who have come to Cronulla for dinner and then had fun strapping on some skates together.

"There are some tickets left but you do need to book ahead."

The skating rink will operate until Sunday, July 13.

There is always plenty to do in Cronulla in the school holidays.

The Gymbus was parked at Cronulla last week while Cronulla Cinemas is popular in the school holidays.
