We got the Aussie pop princess to spill her secrets!
Since winning X-Factor Australia in 2012, Samantha Jade has shown she can do it all - from releasing hit songs, to playing Kylie Minogue in INXS: Never Tear Us Apart, to being named the Event Ambassador for the very glamorous Runway Weekend.
"I love the over-the-knee boots, and I like those lace-up ones. I like the matchy-matchy trend that's been going on for awhile - the pencil skirt with the matching top. I like that 'coz you don't have to think! Your outfit's done!"

Newly Uncovered Bill Cosby Joke From '69 Speech Is Damning In Retropsect
Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770, a renowned social club for students, bestowed its "Man of the Year" award to comedian Bill Cosby in 1969. According to a Los Angeles Times/UPI Wire published on March 5, 1969, recently uncovered by The Huffington Post, the comedian "proposed changing the name of the annual honor" to "the nice guy as far as we know" award.
In light of the 46 women who have come forward since then to accuse Cosby of sexual assault, the joke -- which probably came across as humble at the time -- takes on an entirely different resonance.
A recent cover story by New York Magazine profiled 35 of the 46 women who've spoken out about Cosby, and noted that five of the women have said that he assaulted them in 1969, the same year as the Hasty Pudding speech.
The possible existence of the joke surfaced on Reddit Thursday via a link to an old story on a site called Mr. PopCulture, which collects pop culture anecdotes dating back to the 1950s. The Mr. PopCulture article did not cite an original source, so HuffPost worked with the site's owner to narrow the search and uncovered the damning quote in the LA Times' archive.
After making the joke, the Times reported, Cosby said the award should at least have a less serious name and then said, "If you're talking about humanitarians, there are some people who should be in front of me."
Earlier this month, an old episode of "The Cosby Show" received attention for its plot, which involved Cosby making a special, secret sauce that makes people want to have sex.
The Huffington Post has reached out to the LA Times and Hasty Pudding Institute for more information, but has yet to hear back.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony: Drake & Meek Mill Beef Is 'All Good Fun For Hip-Hop'
The beef between Drake and Meek Mill has officially hit its peak, and the men of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony are watching the drama play out like the rest of us.
The battle, which the Philly rapper ignited when he accused Drake of having a ghostwriter pen his raps, set the internet ablaze and has since spawned two diss tracks from Drake -- "Charged Up" and "Back-to-Back" -- and a poorly-received response from Meek Mill.
When Bone Thugs-n-Harmony sat down with HuffPost Live on Thursday, Krayzie Bone said that beef between rappers has an important legacy in the hip-hop world.
"To me, certain beefs is good for hip-hop. It's always been a part of hip-hop. You always had emcees going against each other," he told host Julee Wilson.
While the friction between the rappers has clearly burned bridges, Krayzie Bone said that beef can be a positive force for hip-hop culture, pointing to the long-squashed feud between two of the biggest artists to come out of Brooklyn -- Jay Z and Nas.
"As long as it don't turn into nothing like the East Coast-West Coast thing, I think it's all good fun for hip hop. ... I say the perfect example of a hip-hop beef is Jay Z and Nas," Krayzie Bone said. "They battled, then they put it to rest then they came and did a song together. That's how its supposed to go. Nobody's supposed to lose their life. None of that's supposed to happen. This is music. You're supposed to enjoy it."
As for the ghostwriting allegations against Drake, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony didn't take an issue with the idea of rappers using an anonymous writer, but he made it known that his own group did not take part in the practice.
"Some people are more entertainers than they are actual writers. ... Us personally, we all write our own stuff. We have never had ghostwriters or no shit like that," Wish Bone said.
"It opens up the doors for somebody else to earn a little bit of money. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Let the ghostwriter write if that's the case," Flesh-N-Bone said.

Video: Kendrick Lamar – ‘For Free? (Interlude)’
Out of nowhere, Kendrick Lamar blesses your Friday with a brand new video for his interlude “For Free?” off his chart-topping album To Pimp a Butterfly. The song is a jazzy number with spitfire verses from the Compton kingpin, which he illustrates with frantic energy in the clip.
It starts with a woman voicing the introductory spoken word section, a laundry list of complaints about a cheap boyfriend. Then Kendrick appears, face pressed to a window, and proceeds to chase her around the house while rapping and yelling, “This dick ain’t free!” The whole video has the manic energy of Charlie Chaplin, as Kendrick appears from behind a window with a live band and pops his head into the bathroom.
