Welcome to The Entertainment Edit, a weekly recap keeping you up to date with the best, worst and most shocking entertainment stories of the week.
One celebrity lit up our world like nobody else this week and of course, it was the one, the only, Harry Styles.
He came, hesaw, he filled out the Census and jumped on a private plane almost the minute his concert ended to zoom off to his next location. But while it was a short visit, it was a memorable one and we have all the best moments below.
In comparison to the buzz of Harry being in town, the rest of the week didn’t feel as golden.

Pop superstar Harry Styles hit the stage in front of 40,000 fans at Auckland’s Mt Smart Stadium on Tuesday night and immediately had punters eating out of his hand.
Between his performance of “Tūtira mai ngā iwi,” waving the Tino Rangatiratanga flag on stage, and some hilarious crowd interactions, it was a concert that despite its intense pre-show secrecy, left fans grinning ear to ear.
As for any pre-show activities, one lucky fan got not only a chat but a hug from the star while he was taking a stroll in downtown Auckland and she caught the moment on camera which quickly went viral on social media.

Much-loved Australian conservationist Bindi Irwin took to Instagram this week where she shocked fans by going public with a private health battle that her younger brother Robert says has caused her a “decade of pain”.
Posting a candid photo to her social media account - where she has 5.1 million followers - the 24-year-old mum of one shared a picture of herself in a hospital bed revealing in an accompanying caption that she had been living with “insurmountable fatigue, pain & nausea” for the past decade because of endometriosis.
Irwin said she was sharing her story to help battle stigma around the “awful disease” that is endometriosis, and to let other women suffering know that “your pain is real and you deserve help”. She encouraged others to visit the Endometriosis Foundation to find answers.

It seems the biggest event of the year is off the kards for a certain reality TV family, according to New York Post.
The Kardashians have been Met Gala regulars over the past few years. From Kendall’s bleached eyebrow moment last year, to Kim Kardashian’s controversial donning of Marilyn Monroe’s Mr President dress, the Kardashian clan always know how to make an entrance, particularly on the carpet of the Met.
However, according to Page Six, Vogue boss Anna Wintour is cracking down on the list of invitees to the biggest fashion event of the season, and the Kardashians have allegedly been left off the roll call.
