Steve Irwin's son is dating Heath Ledger's niece
Steve Irwin's son and Heath Ledger's niece are dating and recently made their red carpet debut together as a couple. Suited and booted for the event on Monday (July 3), Robert Irwin ditched his recognisable cargo zookeeper clothes to attend the premiere of the new Mission Impossible film. Accompanying the 19-year-old was Rorie Buckey, the niece of The Dark Knight actor with her mum being the late actor's sister, Kate Ledger. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning is the latest in the action film franchise starring Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell and Simon Pegg. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Rumours of Robert and Rorie dating began back in November last year when they were pictured together on a beach in Queensland. A month later, the couple were then spotted meeting Terri Irwin (Robert's mother) and people at the family's Aussie Zoo. Also in December, Daily Mail Australia quoted her dad, Nathan Buckey, who said he "absolutely" approved of their relationship. Buckey coordinated with her date at the premiere, wearing a chic black one-shoulder dress as the couple smiled and posed for photographers in what could potentially be Australia's new power couple, being related to two of the biggest Aussie icons. Sadly, Steven Irwin passed away in 2006 aged 44 when Robert was three years old after he was stung in the chest by a stingray while filming in the Great Barrier Reef for his show Crocodile Hunter. Heath Ledger died in 2008 from an accidental overdose aged 28. His sister Kate (Rorie's mother) has previously reflected on this, telling Who magazine in 2018: "Heath is hugely important in the lives of my children. "There's not a day that goes by that we don't share stories or talk about him. He is very much alive in our house." Have your say in our news democracy.

1989 (Taylor's Version): Live listen through
Taylor Swift has released her long-awaited re-recording of her 2014 hit album '1989.' The new release is Swift's fourth re-recorded album, following on from 'Fearless (Taylor's Version),' 'Red (Taylor's Version), and 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version). Swift's purpose in re-recording her back catalogue is so that she can own the copyright to all of the new recordings. This '1989' era marked a swift shift in music genre from country to pop for the singer, a risk that ultimately paid off as '1989' propelled Swift further into mainstream stardom and won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2015. From the feel-good 'Shake It Off' to the anthemic tracks of 'Blank Space,' 'Out of the Woods' and 'Style' to the heartful and cathartic notes of 'This Love' and 'Clean,' Swift explores every avenue of pop. A journey that continues with the five 'From the Vault' tracks with 'Slut!', 'Say Don't Go,' 'Now That We Don't Talk,' 'Suburban Legends,' and 'Is It Over Now?' Now, indy100 is here to listen to '1989 (Taylor's Version) along with you, with commentary on every song as well as fun facts about the album. Welcome to New York October 27, 14:12 Taylor Swift performs at New Year's Eve 2015 at Times Square on December 31, 2014 in New York City. The opening track 'Welcome To New York' gave listeners a glimpse into Swift’s new pop sound with the electronic pop synths kicking things off. Not only does it reflect a change in music genre but also Swift’s literal move from Nashville to New York almost a decade ago as she shared how she fell in love with the city. "I approached moving there with such wide-eyed optimism and sort of saw it [New York] as a place of endless potential and possibilities,” Swift told Good Morning America about the song at the time. “You can kind of hear that reflected in this music and this first song especially." While the lyrics “And you can want who you want/ Boys and boys and girls and girls,” have been interpreted as Swift supporting the LGBT+ community, before she was vocal about her political views. The re-recorded version stays true to the original track with little tweaks to the production as Swift sings with a mature voice.
