Sting & Family to Host New Year's Eve with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

Sting has rented one of the most expensive yachts on Sydney Harbour in Australia for New Year's Eve. At $13,200/day, the yacht is the prime location to watch fireworks with his high profile buddies.

Included in the excursion are Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-lee Furness, and Sting's wife and 4 children.

The Police are set to play their first Australian gig at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on January 22. The last time The Police played in Austrailia was 1984.

Kidman once saved Jackman from a deadly scorpion sting when filming in Australia: “Nicole gasped when Hugh opened the cover invitingly to reveal a poisonous scorpion creeping up his bag. She calmly told him not to move, squatted down and scooped the creepy crawly into her hat.”

Recently, Sting and his wife Trudie, known for their wild tantric sex and rumored swinger parties, were caught by photographers in a rather private moment. Let's hope shoes stay on at New Years. Yuck. The couple have children aged 12 up to 23.

Boris Becker And Son Noah Have A Sports Circle of Hair With Yannick Noah and His Son Joakim Noah

Tennis star Boris Becker named his son Noah after another tennis star, good friend Yannick Noah. What do all three of these gentlemen have in common? Notable hair.

Boris has a decent "Sting" hairstyle, but it's his eyebrows that make the serious follicular impression. Son Noah has some sweetly unkempt boy curls that he can get away with for a few more years before he just looks hairy.

And here is Yannick Noah. Now a well known French pop star, Yannick had cool dreads even back when he was on the tennis court.

Yannick's son, Joakim, played basketball for the Florida Gators and was just drafted by the Chicago Bulls. These before and after pictures show what will happen to Noah Becker if he doesn't figure out a hair plan in the next couple of years.

Miley Cyrus Tickets: Disney's Hannah Montana Has Not Sold Out! Great Pictures!

I'm guessing that most of you knew of Miley Cyrus from Disney's Hannah Montana long before the crazy pregnancy thing. Her show is one of the top-rated programs on TV, drawing some 5 million viewers a week. That's a lot of tween power.

Apparently their power isn't just over the remote control. According to the Associated Press, her "Best of Both Worlds Tour" has "gone clean," which is industry speak for "sold out" (see, it's so much hipper), at such a rate that scalpers are able to get insane prices on ebay where one ticket for a show in Charlotte sold for $2,565.

Basically, if you can buy enough tickets you can turn around and sell them to pay for your kid's college fund, or in my case a butt-load of student loans.

"We knew it was hot, but we had no idea it was this crazy," said Debra Rathwell, senior vice president of tour handler AEG Live. "It's like the Beatles."

Dear God, did she just compare Miley Cyrus to the Beatles? If I wasn't already sitting down I would need to. Maybe I'll just have a beer and go to bed.

As if that wasn't enough, the AP also reports that Cyrus' tour is out-selling The Police, Justin Timberlake and Bruce Springsteen. And of course her dad.

Sting Enjoys Poetry, Walks in the Woods and Nepotism

Whit Honea — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 12:04:00 GMT

Sting's son, Joe Sumner, is quite a bit older than most of the celebrity kids we feature here. Sting, however, is about the median age for the fathers. Go figure.

Joe has himself a rock and roll band, Fiction Plan, and guess who they are touring with this summer. Give up? How about The Police? That's a nice gig if you can get it.

At least he admits it, “We earned it, man. We worked from the street,” he joked. “No, my dad called me up and gave me the gig. I almost said no because I feel like it’s a big sellout in a lot of ways. I figured if I don’t do it, I’ll just be pissed for a long time.”

I saw Fiction Plane open for The Police at Dodger Stadium. Actually, they opened for the openers, The Foo Fighters. That, my friends, was a kick ass show.

My dad is a politician. The only gig he can get me is passing out campaign pins. That blows.
