<description><![CDATA[ The Kardashian-Jenners have been granted a restraining order to protect themselves from a man that Kris Jenner alleges is a stalker﻿.Kris, 70, submitted a request for a protection order for herself and her six children, ﻿Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and her son Rob Kardashian.According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the family sought protection﻿ from a 40-year-old man who had tried to visit Kylie&#039;s home multiple times and was arrested on his fifth attempt.Kris claims the man believes she was communicating with him and encouraged him to propose to Kylie,﻿ before changing her tune and &quot;interfering&quot; in the supposed relationship.Kris also alleged that the alleged stalker has recently been looking into residences for sale nearby in a bid to get close to the family.She claims he would contact their neighbours and even toured a home within a mile (1.6km) of the Kardashian-Jenners that was for sale.﻿Kris claimed she was informed that the 40-year-old has a criminal history, including for violent assault, and thus requested the restraining order for herself and her family on Friday morning (Saturday May 30 in Australia).It was granted by a judge just hours later.READ MORE:﻿ When Tali Mason watched the movie Lion, she saw her life story on screenREAD MORE:﻿ Why Aussie couples are ditching decades-old wedding traditionREAD MORE:﻿ Incredible link that drove twin brothers and Sydney chefs Luke and Sam to successThe new restraining order﻿ bars the man from contacting the family directly or indirectly, and instructs him to stay at least 100 yards (91m) from the family, their homes, their workplaces and their cars.It&#039;s not the first time a member of the family has had to have a restraining order taken out against a stalker.Kim has dealt with the situation multiple times, with the latest being in 2024, when she applied for an order of protection against one Melvin Jeffery Conley after he allegedly tried to jump the fence of her Malibu home.According to TMZ, Conely showed up at Kris&#039; home claiming to Kim&#039;s long time manager and a basketball player.Kim said she was caused severe emotional distress by the incident, adding that her home is not easy to find and it shows the lengths he went to allegedly make contact with her and her family.﻿ ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ C﻿ontroversial country singer Morgan Wallen shocked fans when he flipped over and broke the piano he was playing on stage.The 33-year-old was performing a concert in Denver during his Still The Problem Tour when the eye-opening incident happened.As he sang his song Sand In My Boots, the piano appeared to break, and he walked away, singing without it.He then decided to shove the piano and its bench over, with pieces of wood breaking off.That&#039;s despite a camera operator standing nearby.﻿READ MORE:﻿ When Tali Mason watched the movie Lion, she saw her life story on screenREAD MORE:﻿ Why Aussie couples are ditching decades-old wedding traditionREAD MORE:﻿ Incredible link that drove twin brothers and Sydney chefs Luke and Sam to successThe audience gasped as the piano broke, with the singer stalking off to continue the song acapella.﻿Some fans encouraged his behaviour.&quot;Flip it again. HE DONT NEED NO PIANO. He CAN sing! ?&quot; said one.&quot;My guy gotta temper and we&#039;re here for it,&quot; another said.&quot;Rockstars break instruments on stage all the time. Smashing guitars and stuff. Go off, Morgan! ??﻿&quot; one pointed out.&quot;The guy was pissed his piano didn&#039;t work for a show people paid to see ? Pretty reasonable reaction if you ask me,&quot; one fan reasoned.But many were shocked at the ﻿behaviour the singer exhibited.&quot;Grown professional if you can believe it,&quot; said one.&quot;He&#039;s still the problem ?&quot; added another, riffing on the name of the tour.&quot;Something my toddler would do ?

I&#039;m not proud of my behaviour, and I accept responsibility.&quot;Wallen started his music career when he competed on The Voice in 2014, though he was eliminated in the playoffs.He has since been nominated for two Grammys and has recently won Best Male Country Artist at the 2026 American Music Awards. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie&#039;s eldest son has made a major public decision to distance himself from his famous father.Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 24, has officially filed legal paperwork to remove &quot;Pitt&quot; from his surname, according to court documents obtained by E! News.If approved, he will officially be known as Maddox Chivan Jolie.The step comes after the filmmaker quietly dropped Pitt from his professional name earlier this year while working on his mother&#039;s upcoming film, Couture, where he was credited as &quot;Maddox Jolie&quot;.Maddox is the eldest of the six children shared by Pitt and Jolie, his siblings are Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.Affectionately known as Brangelina, the couple met in 2004 on the set of the film Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith.and share Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and VivienneBy the time the film was released in 2005, Pitt had left Jennifer Aniston to be with Jolie, who had adopted Maddox from a Cambodian orphanage in 2002, when he was seven months old.READ MORE: John Farnham confirms he will never sing in public again﻿READ MORE: &#039;90s icon makes first return to red carpet in 11 years﻿READ MORE: Star reveals the secret behind her A-list relationshipThe couple married in 2014 at their French chateau, before separating in 2016 following an incident on a private jet as it was ferrying the family from Europe to the US.Their divorce was finalised in December 2024, following disputes over custody of the children and property, including the French chateau.Maddox is not the only one of the former couple&#039;s children to publicly distance himself from the Pitt surname, despite its star power. Last year, daughter Shiloh successfully petitioned a court to legally remove Pitt from her last name shortly after turning 18.Meanwhile, Zahara introduced herself as Zahara Marley Jolie during a sorority event in 2023, while younger sister Vivienne was credited as &quot;Vivienne Jolie&quot; in the Playbill for the Broadway musical The Outsiders.Brad Pitt is said to be &quot;hurt&quot; by his children&#039;s decisions to drop his last name, with a source saying the news has been &quot;very difficult.&quot;&quot;[Brad&#039;s] biggest fear is to be permanently disconnected from the kids because he does want to find a way to make things right,&quot; an insider explained to US Weekly. &quot;His biggest fear is that too much time is going by and the more time without something happening, the harder it will be to reconcile.&quot;In the years since the couple&#039;s divorce, details have emerged about their family life. Pax, whom Jolie adopted in 2007 from Vietnam before Pitt formally adopted him a year later, was first to speak out. Taking to social media in 2020, he wrote a scorching post on Instagram to mark Father&#039;s Day in the US, in which he referred to Pitt as a &quot;world-class a---hole&quot; and a &quot;despicable human being&quot;.He also claimed Pitt&#039;s four youngest children &quot;tremble in fear when in your presence&quot;.All of the children are now reportedly estranged from their dad, who is expected to lose any remaining custody rights when Vivienne and Knox turn 18 in July.While neither Pitt nor Jolie has publicly commented on Maddox&#039;s filing, the actor previously admitted he struggled following the breakdown of his family.In a 2017 interview with GQ, Pitt said the divorce forced him to reflect on the kind of father he wanted to be.&quot;I have to be more for them. I have to show them,&quot; he said at the time.&quot;And I haven&#039;t been great at it.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Katie Price has marked her 48th birthday with a cryptic social media post and a hastily recorded song about heartbreak – as fresh questions swirl around her missing husband after his Instagram account suddenly became active again.The former glamour model has spent the past week publicly pleading for answers after her husband Lee Andrews vanished in Dubai.Price claimed that in his last call, Lee was wearing a hood and appeared to be in an old van, his hands tied in front of him.﻿https://www.instagram.com/p/DYp3PHeMC-J/?hl=enIn a shock twist, Andrews&#039; social media account appeared to spring back to life – and fans noticed he had started following a mystery American woman, even as he still failed to respond to Price.The development comes just a day after Price declared she was stepping back from the search and leaving the matter &quot;with the police&quot;.On her birthday, Price posted a series of emotional Instagram quotes about heartbreak, betrayal, and entering her &quot;comeback era.&quot;Alongside the posts, she shared a video montage featuring a cover of the classic ballad Get Here, which she revealed she had rushed into a studio to record.&quot;I don&#039;t care how you get here, just get here if you can,&quot; the emotional lyrics plead.On a separate text slide, she shared a quote hinting at her mindset, reading: &quot;When a woman enters her comeback era, everything changes. Her mindset, her circle, her standards.&quot;READ MORE: Katie Price admits she&#039;s &#039;given up search&#039; for missing husbandREAD MORE: Viral YouTube star announces son, 14, has diedREAD MORE:﻿ Prince William shares rare update on Kate following cancer battleThe posts landed hours before British tabloid The Sun reported Andrews had returned online after eight days offline and followed a woman named Marisol, a US Navy veteran and social media user believed to be based in America.According to The Sun, Price was alerted to the activity by followers who spotted the new account in Andrews&#039; following list.The tabloid also reported Andrews had not responded to Price&#039;s messages since their last alleged contact, when he reportedly claimed he had been arrested.However, now his &#039;following&#039; list has gone back down to one, with the woman saying she has blocked him.Speaking to The Sun, she said she does not know him, nor has she ever exchanged messages.While there has been widespread speculation online about Andrews&#039; whereabouts and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, there has been no official confirmation of foul play or criminal activity.The saga has unfolded publicly over the past week, with Price documenting her concerns on podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media posts as she attempted to make contact with her husband.Earlier this week, she revealed she had reached a point where she could do little else except wait for updates from authorities.&quot;There&#039;s nothing I can do,&quot; she said on her podcast.&quot;I&#039;m not gonna talk about it anymore.&quot;Price also said she would not allow the ordeal to consume her life while police inquiries continued overseas.&quot;For my own sanity, I&#039;m taking a step back,&quot; she said.The relationship itself has attracted heavy attention in the British press since the pair married in January after only knowing each other for a matter of days.Following their whirlwind wedding, Price regularly travelled between the UK and Dubai, where Andrews was based.Questions around Andrews intensified after reports emerged alleging he was unable to leave Dubai due to legal and financial issues linked to previous business dealings.Andrews has not publicly responded to those allegations.His ex-fiancée has also publicly criticised him in recent weeks, warning Price about his behaviour before he disappeared.The mystery took a new turn when Andrews failed to appear for a planned television interview with Price, which was expected to mark their first major appearance together as a married couple.Since then, social media users have closely monitored Andrews&#039; online accounts for signs of activity, with the latest Instagram move triggering another wave of speculation.Neither Andrews nor the woman he reportedly followed has publicly commented on the situation.Price has also not directly addressed the Instagram activity publicly, instead focusing her latest posts on heartbreak, healing and moving forward.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Five things we learned about Kylie Minogue from her new docuseries</title>
<link>https://www.okpraha.com/five-things-we-learned-about-kylie-minogue-from-her-new-docuseries</link>
<guid>https://www.okpraha.com/five-things-we-learned-about-kylie-minogue-from-her-new-docuseries</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Kylie Minogue&#039;s three-part docuseries ﻿KYLIE landed on Netflix with a bombshell health admission in the final minutes.The Padam Padam singer emotionally revealed she&#039;d battled a second primary breast cancer in 2021, which was picked up during a routine checkup 15 years after her first cancer battle.But it wasn&#039;t the only thing we learned in the incredibly raw and honest journey, which covers her nearly 40-year career.In the series, the Australian-born international icon charts her start as an actress, including her breakout role in soap Neighbours, before turning into the pop star who sold 80 million records.But the transition wasn&#039;t easy for Minogue, with the now 57-year-old ﻿admitting the constant criticism and need to pigeonhole her as an artist was a lot &quot;to cop&quot; as a 19-year-old.﻿&quot;I was insecure and uncertain,&quot; she admitted.&quot;I remember hearing clangers that were really public … being mean ... to be 19 years old and having to cop that, that was unpleasant.&quot;﻿People would say &quot;you can&#039;t do both&quot; and Minogue couldn&#039;t understand that, saying, &quot;Tell that to Dolly and Cher and Barbara and see what they have to say about it&quot;.READ MORE: Kylie Minogue reveals secret second cancer diagnosisREAD MORE: Most telling part of Kylie Minogue&#039;s new docuseriesREAD MORE: &#039;Brutal&#039; two-word label that almost derailed Kylie&#039;s career&quot;I don&#039;t like to be trapped, I don&#039;t like to be in a box and I was those early years,&quot; she noted.Also adding to her struggles were statements comparing her to a &quot;human crocheted scarf&quot; or calling her &quot;boring&quot;, comments sister Dannii Minogue said &quot;you would never say now and get away with it&quot;.Former partner Jason Donovan, who appears in the series, also spoke about how Minogue &quot;really struggled&quot; with the backlash, saying he didn&#039;t know how to handle it at the time.He said things like, &quot;Well, maybe you shouldn&#039;t have gone down that route, because that&#039;s sort of how my attitude was&quot;.In promotional materials for the docuseries, Minogue said staying the course in the face of the criticism she faced is one of the proudest moments of her career.&quot;In those early challenging days, I knew I hadn&#039;t proved myself,&quot; she said.&quot;I simply hadn&#039;t had a chance. I was successful before I knew what I was doing, so I basically learnt everything on the job, in full view of the public.&quot;So, I&#039;m proud that I stayed the course, I&#039;m proud I took risks.&quot;And those risks ultimately paid off especially with her return to her pop roots in her ﻿Spinning Around era, at a time she was ready to quit the industry if it didn&#039;t work.Minogue says watching back the three hours of her evolution over the last 40 years was &quot;like an out-of-body experience&quot;.&quot;It was interesting seeing how much I have changed as I&#039;ve matured, how I have evolved as a performer and surprisingly, how much I haven&#039;t changed,&quot; she said in promotional materials.&quot;Baby Kylie had a determination and a passion, just like I do today.﻿&quot;This wasn&#039;t the only insight the I Should Be So Lucky singer gave fans. Here&#039;s everything else we learned from Kylie:﻿Minogue postponed chemotherapy for IVFMinogue spoke, not for the first time,﻿ about her unsuccessful attempts to have children after delaying her chemotherapy in 2005 to undergo IVF.She was dating French actor Olivier Martinez at the time and photos of the couple during that time flashed up on screen as she spoke about the experience.&quot;There&#039;s so much more to cancer than just, &#039;You had it, you got through it, you&#039;re fine or you&#039;re fine for now&#039;,&quot; she said after finding lyrics she&#039;d penned for her possible child.&quot;I was 36 when I got my diagnosis so … already you need to be thinking about children.&quot;So I did try, I postponed my chemotherapy to try, which was quite scary at the time because I just wanted … you just want it out, gone. I want to feel safe.&quot;But yeah, I did try a few times with IVF. Always with such a thread of hope, but I couldn&#039;t not try.&quot;The singer underwent her breast cancer chemo and radiotherapies in Paris, ending up in ICU at some points during treatment.Sister Dannii recalled that time ﻿was tough for the whole family, even with her mum by her sister&#039;s side.&quot;We didn&#039;t know if she was ever going to be well again, it was that bad,&quot; Dannii said.&quot;Like, is she going to live through this? I just felt so helpless, there was nothing I could do for her.&quot;The irony, Dannii added, is that growing up she didn&#039;t think she&#039;d be a﻿ mother, whereas Kylie always wanted to be one, and it&#039;s turned out the opposite in their lives.The Minogue sisters&#039; parents have never done a sit-down interview but appeared in this seies for a poignant relfective scene around a campfire.﻿Michael Hutchence was ﻿&#039;my person&#039;Minogue spoke ﻿fondly of her relationship with INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, before labelling him &quot;my person&quot; and admitted she&#039;s spent the rest of her life looking for a love like theirs.&quot;You go on and live your lives but it was definitely an amazing point in time and I&#039;ve probably been looking for something like that ever since and I haven&#039;t got it,&quot; she said.The couple dated ﻿for two years between 1989 and 1991 and Hutchence died six years later, in 1997.&quot;It might seem disproportionate, the emotion and the memories I have with him and with that time, but I just felt protected and nurtured and valued and believed in,&quot; she said, getting emotional.&quot;I remember being at the church and it was overwhelming, the outpouring of love for him. It&#039;s going to sound totally crazy but I felt him saying &#039;It&#039;s okay. It will be okay&#039;. I always feel he&#039;s with me. It&#039;s kind of crazy but I do.&quot;You can have relationship with, as I have had, relationships with different people but someone that really just believed ... believes in you so much.&quot;Here&#039;s an important point. He really didn&#039;t want me to be someone else for him. He was encouraging me to discover me.&quot;In promotional materials for the docuseries﻿ Minogue added that Hutchence&#039;s impact has been life-long.&quot;I was 21 when we met – and I was really impressionable. And I mean that in the best possible way. He just had such an impact on me,&quot; she said.&quot;He was a smart, kind, deep, artistic and interesting human and we went on this beautiful journey of a relationship.&quot;But, she still has &#039;a lot of love&#039; for DonovanThe close bond shared by ﻿Minogue and Donovan is undeniable - and both say just as much in the docuseries.&quot;We were fresh out of high school, so it was that sweethearts sort of romance,&quot; Minogue said of their romance in episode one.But Donovan felt it was more serious, saying he thought a life and family with the singer &quot;was my destination&quot;.﻿&quot;Did I ever think we were going to get married? The truth is - yeah. And have kids and that&#039;s the script written, and off you go,&quot; he said in the series.Home movie footage from their holidays together is seen for what&#039;s believed to be the first time and when Minogue watched it &quot;for the first time my heart swelled&quot;.&quot;I thought, &#039;Oh my God, we were just babies&#039;. That brought back tidal waves of nostalgia, emotion, and a lot of love.&quot;Donovan ﻿has been a source of support for Minogue over the years, despite their difficult split almost 40 years ago.The former Neighbours co-star even attended the London premiere for the new docuseries on Monday night, alongside both Minogue sisters.However, in the docuseries, he aired his frustration of being asked about his famous ex almost on a daily basis.Minogue calls best friend &#039;real saviour&#039;The soap star-turned-singer credited Hutchence with helping fill her with confidence and finding her own voice in both her personal life and her professional image.She said it was fellow Aussie singer Nick Cave who convinced her to return to her pop roots when her short-lived indie artist phase didn&#039;t pan out.But it was someone else ﻿Minogue labelled her &quot;real saviour&quot; - photographer Kat Jebb who became her best friend during her first time living in Paris following her split from Hutchence in 1991, at the age of 22.&quot;She was a real saviour to me and I started to feel good and confident as a woman on my own,&quot; Minogue, now 57, said, adding Jebb was the first photographer to really capture her authentic self.The pair became &quot;firm friends&quot; in two weeks and part of the docuseries interviews were filmed at her house.﻿She&#039;s been such an incredibly solid friend – we&#039;ve had times where we lost touch but we&#039;ve always come back together,&quot; Minogue said in promotional material for the docuseries.&quot;She&#039;s someone that I feel nurtured by and so incredibly lucky to have these beautiful images celebrating our friendship.&quot;Nine Entertainment Co (the publisher of this website) owns and operates the streaming service Stan.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ When Michael Hutchence died in tragic circumstances on November 22, 1997, he left behind a heartbroken partner, Paula Yates, only child Tiger Lily, a grieving family and bandmates, and millions of devastated fans.The INXS frontman also left behind a long list of former loves, including &#039;90s supermodel Helen Christensen and Aussie singer and actress Kylie Minogue.Almost 30 years after his death, Minogue has spoken candidly about her relationship with Hutchence as part of a new Netflix series about her life, Kylie, calling him &quot;my person&quot;.﻿Read on to learn more about their relationship and the other loves of Hutchence&#039;s life.﻿Kylie Minogue﻿The two reportedly first met in 1987 when Hutchence approached her table at the Countdown Music Awards and announced he wanted to sleep with her.The next time they met, he invited Minogue and her then-boyfriend Jason Donovan to an INXS after party.Minogue told A Current Affair (ACA) in 2014 that Hutchence asked &quot;to kiss [her] numerous times&quot; during the night, but she said &#039;no&#039;.Donovan told the documentary it was clear that night Hutchence had designs on his then-girlfriend, but it was only after she and Donovan broke up that the two became an item in late 1989.&quot;He was a dark bad boy and I was the pure good girl.&quot;At the time, she was 20 while Hutchence was 29. They made their red carpet debut at the premiere of Minogue&#039;s film, The Delinquents, in December 1989, with the singer showing up ﻿sporting a short blonde wig.Minogue was also by his side when he celebrated his 30th birthday with a party on January 22, 1990﻿.But the relationship soon raised eyebrows, especially after Hutchence quipped his favourite pastime was &quot;corrupting Kylie&quot;.For her part, Minogue told ﻿Mystify: Michael Hutchence, &quot;He had insatiable curiosity, all the good things in life and some bad.&quot;He opened up a whole new world for me. A lot of it was based around pleasure ... sex, love, food, drugs, music, travel, books, you name it, he wanted to experience it.&quot;He was a dark bad boy and I was the pure good girl.&quot;The relationship lasted just over two years before Hutchence broke it off in 1992.Minogue told Nine&#039;s A Current Affair in 2014, &quot;He broke my heart. I have to confess that the hurt stayed for quite a long time&quot;.Now, ﻿Minogue has opened up about their romance and break-up in her new docuseries, revealing their many &#039;firsts&#039;.&quot;He was the first in so many ways. And of those firsts was heartbreak. I was devastated,&quot; she said.Despite their break up, she was among mourners at his funeral, where she recalled a strange moment.﻿&quot;This is going to sound totally crazy, but I felt him going, &#039;It will be OK,&#039;&quot; she said. &quot;I always feel he is with me, which is kind of crazy.&quot;Minogue became emotional when speaking about Hutchence, and while she admitted the &quot;emotion and the memor­ies I have with him... might seem dis­pro­por­tion­ate﻿&quot; to some, it was a testament to the bond they shared.&quot;I just felt protected and nurtured and valued and believed in,&quot; she said.Minogue later learned from people in Hutchence&#039;s circle that he too would reminisce about their time together.﻿She also said their romance had left her yearning for a similar love, decades on.﻿&quot;You go on and live your lives, but it was definitely an amazing point in time and I&#039;ve probably been looking for something like that ever since and I haven&#039;t got it﻿,&quot; she said.Michele BennettBefore meeting and falling in love with Minogue, Hutchence had a long romance with another Aussie beauty, Michele Bennett.In fact, it was their relationship that inspired the lyrics of one of INXS&#039;s most loved songs, Never Tear Us Apart, which was voted the winner of Triple J&#039;s Hottest 100 of Australian Songs in 2025.Around the time the band released their second album Underneath the Colours, Hutchence met his first love. Reports suggest they met after Bennett attended one of INXS&#039;s early shows.Actress Jane Harber, who played Bennett in the 2014 miniseries Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS, told TV Tonight she was a touchstone in the rock star&#039;s life.&quot;They met at a gig... kind of before he found his groove,&quot; she said.&quot;He was just starting out and she obviously loved his music, having been to a couple of his gigs. They fell in love quickly.&quot;For a daily dose of 9Honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.By 1982, the then part-time model and photographic assistant made a brief appearance in the banquet scenes of the music video for the INXS song The One Thing.She introduced Hutchence to filmmaker Richard Lowenstein, who would go on to direct 15 INXS music videos. He also cast the singer in his cult 1986 film, Dogs in Space, in which he starred as drug-addicted band member.The couple remained together for five years, living together for much of that time in a terrace home in Sydney&#039;s Paddington, which they shared with singer Jenny Morrison, before breaking up around 1987.Harber told TV Tonight, &quot;I don&#039;t think Michele was wanting to put up with that kind of lifestyle. She wanted him to be successful, but didn&#039;t want to be in that &#039;rock star&#039; scene with the drugs, women and travel.&quot;Despite their break-up, the two remained close. It was this bond that inspired Hutchence&#039;s lyrics when he and Farris began working on their 1987 power ballad Never Tear Us Apart.The former couple worked together for the next decade, with Bennett producing music videos for three INXS songs released in 1990, including Suicide Blonde, By My Side and Bitter Tears.She would later become a sought-after music video producer for artists including U2, Prince, Silverchair and Foo Fighters and produced hit films such as Chopper.Bennett was the last person to speak to the INXS frontman before his death.She told the﻿ 2019 documentary Mystify: Michael Hutchence the singer phoned her twice on the morning he died.The first call went to an answering machine. After answering a second call and hearing he was upset, she agreed to go to his Sydney hotel room but he did not answer the door, so she left a note at hotel reception.Bennett has never spoken about their relationship but others, including Hutchence&#039;s sister Tina ﻿and Lowenstein, said they believed the two would always end up married.Rosanna CrashAfter Bennett, Hutchence started a secret relationship with US model Rosanna Crash.The relationship began in 1987, and lasted about a year, but only came to light publicly in the 2017 documentary Michael Hutchence: The Last Rockstar. She was by his side during the INXS Kick tour of the US.﻿Hutchence&#039;s sister Tina wrote on Facebook in 2020, &quot;Rosanna gave Michael the companionship he sorely needed and the support he wanted without a second thought.&quot;The couple took small forays into the real world, away from the interviews, sound checks, performances and the air-conditioned artifice of hotel life. &quot;They ate macrobiotic food and practised tai chi and yoga in their daily routines, even with the tour&#039;s rigorous demands.&quot;Tina described Crash as a &quot;very private person&quot; who had declined interview requests, adding, &quot;However, I wrote of their relationship in Michael My Brother, Lost Boy of INXS. We are friends to this day.&quot;﻿Hutchence reportedly broke up with Crash over the phone after he fell for soap actress and pop princess Kylie Minogue.Helena ChristensenAfter Minogue, Hutchence had a brief relationship with US singer Belinda Carlisle before becoming involved with Danish supermodel Helena Christensen.There are varying reports of how and when the first two met but by 1991, they were in a relationship.In the documentary, Mystify: Michael Hutchence, Christensen described Hutchence as her &quot;perfect match&quot; and said the relationship, which lasted for four years, was &quot;joyful, sweet, deep and emotional&quot;.&quot;[It was] total mental and physical chemistry,&quot; she said.But Christensen also revealed in the documentary then-unknown ﻿details about a health crisis Hutchence suffered during their relationship.The couple were on the streets of Copenhagen when the star was assaulted by a taxi driver, causing him to fall and hit his head on concrete.&quot;He was unconscious and there was blood coming out of his mouth and ear,&quot; she said, &quot;I thought he was dead.&quot;Hutchence was rushed to hospital and treated for a serious head injury, which left him with no sense of taste or smell, but she said he awoke a &quot;dark and very angry&quot; man.Tina Hutchence later publicly criticised Christensen for keeping the secret from his family even in the decades after his death.In the documentary, Mystify: Michael Hutchence, filmmaker Richard Lowenstein alleged the brain damage the rock star suffered in the attack could have led him to take his own life years later.Hutchence broke up with the model in 1995. By then, he had already begun an affair with British TV presenter Paula Yates, the wife of Sir Bob Geldof.﻿Paul YatesHutchence and ﻿Yates first met a decade earlier when she interviewed him for the TV show The Tube.She was ﻿reportedly so taken by the INXS star, she started turning up at concerts.It is not known how and when their affair began, but it came to light during a second flirty interview with the singer in October 1994 for the TV show The Big Breakfast.The affair was exposed by British tabloids and ﻿Yates split from Geldof, but his popularity and nickname &quot;Saint Bob&quot; – taken from his organisation of the Band Aid and Live Aid charity events – saw Hutchence and ﻿Yates maligned by the press and public.Yates and Geldof&#039;s separation in February 1995 and subsequent divorce the following year resulted in a bitter custody dispute that continued until Hutchence&#039;s death.On July 22, 1996, Yates gave birth to the couple&#039;s only child, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.Hutchence was in Australia in November 1997 to start preparations for INXS&#039;s 20th anniversary tour when Yates told him a custody hearing relating to the three children she shared with Geldof had been adjourned until December 17 and she would not be able to bring them to Australia as planned.This left him to face a long separation from Yates and Tiger Lily.Hutchence then called Geldof to plead for him to reconsider.Geldof later confirmed he received a call from Hutchence. It was some time after this that he made the first of two calls to his former girlfriend Bennett.A hotel ﻿maid found the singer&#039;s body later that day. His death was ruled a suicide. He was 37.It was later revealed another former girlfriend, Aussie actress Kym Wilson, had visited Hutchence in his hotel room, along with her then-boyfriend, the previous evening and was the last person to see him alive.Tiger Lily was just 16 months old at the time of her father&#039;s death, and appeared at his funeral in the arms of her grieving mother, who would die just three years later from a heroin overdose. Orphaned at four, she was later adopted by Geldof so she could be raised with her siblings.Only one INXS song was played at Hutchence&#039;s funeral as his coffin left the church; Never Tear Us Apart﻿.

<description><![CDATA[ He is the son of the original crocodile hunter, but it doesn&#039;t mean Robert Irwin always gets the upper hand with the powerful beasts.During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon he revealed he was &#039;death rolled&#039; by a 4.2 metre long crocodile, who was aptly named Jimmy Fallon.The 22-year-old conservationist turned TV star both in Australia and the US, was appearing on the talk show for an unbelievable 14th time when attention turned to the near-death experience.Watch the video above.&quot;I know you had a baby crocodile you named Jimmy Fallon,&quot; the host asked.&quot;I did. You know what Jimmy? He&#039;s not a baby anymore,&quot; Irwin began.&quot;I named this crocodile Jimmy Fallon years ago ﻿and he&#039;s now what we call a &#039;boss croc&#039;.

<description><![CDATA[ Beyoncé and Jay-Z&#039;s oldest daughter Blue Ivy made quite the statement during her Met Gala debut yesterday by refusing one simple request.﻿The 14-year-old, who was one of the last to arrive on the 2026 red carpet, stunned in white bubble Balenciaga gown paired with dark sunglasses she refused to take off.A video moment shows the teen ignoring two assistants and her father&#039;s repeated requests to remove the shades as the famed family posed for photos. ﻿Watch the video above. ﻿In the video, Blue Ivy poses ﻿with mum Beyoncé, 44, and Jay-Z, 56, who first signals to her to remove her shades in front of a crowd of onlookers. But his request is ignored.Crowded by shouting paparazzi, two assistants then rush in, gesturing to the teen to take off her sunglasses, but Blue Ivy keeps them firmly in place.Blue Ivy&#039;s presence alone is an exception to one strict Met Gala rule set by Vogue editor Anna Wintour that no one under the age of 18 can attend the glamorous event.READ MORE:﻿ The 2026 Met Gala selfie is here: What went on inside the eventIN PICTURES: Stars show off their style as the Met Gala 2026 after parties kick off﻿READ MORE:﻿ Aussie star forced to drop Cannes honour after injuryBut it seems when your mum is ﻿Beyoncé, and a co-chair for the 2026 Met Gala, the rules can be bent.In 2018, event organisers implemented the rule attendees must be over 18 years old, deeming the event inappropriate for minors, despite stars such as Elle Fanning, Hailee Steinfeld and Willow Smith having attended previous galas in their early teens.This year appears to be the first since the rule was implemented that an exception has been made.Not just for Beyoncé, but also for fellow co-chair Nicole Kidman, who brought her 17-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman, as her date.&quot;It feels surreal because my daughter&#039;s here,&quot; Beyoncé told Vogue on the red carpet.&quot;It&#039;s incredible to be able to share it with her.&quot;There was a huge reaction when the singer and her family arrived, and it&#039;s not hard to see why.﻿This is the first Met Gala Beyoncé has attended in a decade, last appearing on the carpet back in 2016.The music powerhouse wore a glittering diamond-encrusted gown in the shape of a skeleton by Olivier Rousteing.The gown took a team of eight people to carry it up the stairs.She completed the look with an enormous feathered train draped around her arms and glittering sunburst-shaped headpiece.Blue Ivy arrived arm-in-arm with her dad Jay-Z, the pair in contrasting white and black outfits.﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ T﻿he dust has finally settled at Stagecoach festival after a night of wild weather swept the country music event.Festivalgoers in Indio, California were met with wind gusts reaching up to 105 kilometres per hour, with organisers forced to issue an emergency evacuation notice as the weather raged on at the annual event, held over the weekend.Despite the delay as over 80,000 attendees made for the exits, the show was back on the road in just a few short hours – though not without plenty of chaos and set cancellations ﻿in the process.Watch the video above.﻿Footage from the event shared to social media showed an urgent message flashing on festival screens, urging attendees to exit the grounds.&quot;Emergency Evacuation,&quot; the alert read. &quot;The festival has been postponed until further notice. Please move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit.&quot;﻿READ MORE: Jules Neale opens up after splitREAD MORE: Aussie weigh in on the accuracy of The PittREAD MORE: Four words on t-shirt spell end of tennis power coupleA similar message was sent out to concertgoers via the Stagecoach app soon after, as tens of thousands of people poured out of the festival grounds.One woman claimed there had been some difficulty with evacuations across the event, describing &quot;stampedes&quot; and &quot;screaming people everywhere,&quot; amid the chaos.Another video shared by festivalgoer Shan Peterson﻿ showed the true extent of the wild weather, as she and her friends evacuated through shots of windswept trees and debris.But the festival was back on its horse in no time following the evacuations, ﻿with winds dying down considerably within an hour.The Stagecoach social media pages posted a message noting &quot;the show [would] resume momentarily,&quot; and that staff members were working to prepare the site for fans to return.But some fans were left despondent after following emergency evacuation protocol and missing out on the rest of the evening&#039;s events after they&#039;d resumed.&quot;Now we can&#039;t see the shows we paid darn good money for that went on despite us following all their instructions!?&quot;We weren&#039;t told to hang out and wait it out.. we were told to evacuate,&quot; one fan revealed on Reddit.Other fans who managed to return were also disappointed, as a number of acts&#039; sets were cut short or cancelled due to the emergency.Legendary American rock band﻿ Journey&#039;s highly anticipated set was canned at the 11th hour, with the ensemble evacuating alongside festival goers during the initial bout of high winds.DJ Marshmello, meanwhile, had been just 15 minutes into his high-energy set when the call to evacuate was made.Country singer Rile﻿y Green also had his set scrapped due to schedule delays, however he delighted fans by making a surprise guest appearance during festival headliner Lainey Wilson&#039;s set later that evening.Wilson took to the stage for a triumphant performance less than two hours after the initial chaos, thanking crowds for toughing out the wild weather to be there.&quot;Thank you so much for sticking out the wind,&quot; the singer told the crowd, per Billboard. &quot;Hopefully you sat in y&#039;all&#039;s cars for a bit and drank some tequila.&quot;And it wasn&#039;t just fans who had braved the storm to see their favourite acts.Hollywood heavyweight Tom Hanks was also spotted among the masses as he showed face in support of his country singer son, Chet.One star-struck festivalgoer shared a sweet clip of a cowboy hat-clad Hanks channelling his inner Sherriff Woody for the occasion, bopping and singing along to his son&#039;s performance.&quot;Watching Chet Hanks then realising his dad is standing right next to me,&quot; the fan captioned the video.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Exclusive: &quot;We&#039;ve had our ups and downs,&quot; Spice Girls&#039; Melanie C candidly tells me as she lifts the lid on her enduring friendship with her bandmates.﻿The group, consisting of Melanie Chisholm, 52, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B and Emma Bunton, were in their late teens and early twenties when they formed, before &#039;Spicemania&#039; took over the world and catapulted them to worldwide fame.From the global stage to life in their 50s, Melanie C admits the Spice Girls&#039; wild journey has seen their friendship &quot;evolve&quot; as they navigate life&#039;s milestones together.
Watch the videos above.﻿﻿&quot;Evolved is the perfect word to describe it,&quot; Melanie C tells nine.com.au, as we meet to discuss her new music and upcoming ninth studio album, Sweat.&quot;We met each other when we were very young, so we know each other very well and we experienced something really unique together.&quot;We&#039;ve had our ups and downs, we&#039;ve been through so many life changes, like becoming parents and going into different careers.&quot;READ MORE: KIIS FM&#039;s breakfast ratings suffer in Sydney in new radio ratingsREAD MORE: Pip Edwards unveils exciting new career move ahead of Fashion WeekREAD MORE: &#039;It&#039;s never too late&#039;: Jessica Rowe&#039;s candid confession﻿Today, their friendship has deepened and matured as they&#039;ve grown older, and it&#039;s something ﻿she says is &quot;beautiful&quot;.&quot;Now, we&#039;re all 50 and Emma was the last one... we&#039;re at a point where I think we truly appreciate and respect each other more than what we ever have,&quot; she admits.The girls, including Chisholm, ﻿Beckham, 52, and Halliwell, 53, reunited in January – much to the thrill of Spice Girls fans – at Emma Bunton&#039;s milestone 50th birthday celebrations in the Cotswolds in the UK.&quot;That&#039;s just a really beautiful place to be. We know none of us would have the lives we have without each other, so we really respect that,&quot; she adds.The girl group dominated the charts ﻿with hits including Say You&#039;ll Be There and Spice Up Your Life and championed the phrase &#039;Girl Power&#039; to fans.They fast became the best-selling girl group of all time, proving naysayers wrong and going on to sell more than a whopping 100 million records worldwide.At the time of their formation in 1994, they were put together to challenge the boybands at the time.﻿It&#039;s a huge feat for a girl from Lancashire, in the UK.﻿In a powerful moment, which she touches on in her Memoir Who I Am, My Story, Melanie C says she always knew it was her &quot;destiny&quot; to become a singer and make a name for herself, and the other Spice Girls felt the exact same way too. ﻿And in Melanie C&#039;s own words, their hard work, drive and determination in their early days as a group, made them &quot;unstoppable&quot;.&quot;And ﻿meeting these other four Spice Girls who felt exactly the same, that gave us this incredible power.&quot;For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.&quot;It&#039;s such a funny feeling because you don&#039;t know why do these things happen – there are so many incredibly talented people out there, but ﻿it doesn&#039;t happen for everybody,&quot; she reflects to nine.com.au.&quot;I was very single-minded, I kind of wouldn&#039;t take no for an answer, I was like, &#039;I am going to do this&#039;. Not in a ruthless way, of no matter what it takes, but I felt like it was fate and my destiny.&quot;&quot;And ﻿meeting these other four Spice Girls who felt exactly the same, that gave us this incredible power.&quot;The five of us were so driven to succeed. Was it fate, was it written in the stars? Did we make it happen... I think the power of the mind is very important and especially if you meet like-minded people it makes you unstoppable.&quot;They truly were &#039;&#039;unstoppable&#039;&#039;, telling their manager Simon Fuller exactly what they wanted to achieve in their future.﻿&quot;It was nuts. ﻿When we first met Simon Fuller, who was our manager through those years, we went into him, we had demos of the album, we said, &#039;We want to make a movie, we want to be known all over the world, we want to be household names,&#039;&quot; she explains.&quot;And a lot of poeple were a bit like, &#039;OK girls, calm down&#039;. But we did it. We said we were going to do it and we did it!&quot;That movie was Spice World, released in 1997.﻿ There are three studio albums under their belt and one compilation album.The girls were given monikers, and were known as Sporty Spice, Posh Spice, Ginger Spice, Baby and Scary Spice to fans.﻿In 1998, Halliwell officially left the group; but has since reunited with the girls.But ﻿behind the glitz and the glamour of being a Spice Girl, came a downside for Melanie C too, which meant being a tabloid fixture and going through personal issues of her own.In her book, she speaks in-depth about having an eating disorder and struggling with her mental health.When asked about finally being able to tell her story in her own words and show the real Melanie C to fans through the book, the star says she avoided writing her life story for years, but feels like she has been able to help people.&quot;I was reluctant to write a memoir for a long time, even though a lot of my adult life has been played out in the media, I&#039;m quite a private person,&quot; she tells nine.com.au.&quot;I had avoided that, but then I thought, &#039;You know what, lots of other people have told their version of my story&#039;, and so it was nice.&quot;There are certain things and times in my life that have been quite difficult and things I&#039;ve had to overcome and they&#039;re very human things.&quot;She says she thinks sometimes people forget that despite the fame and fortune, those in the public eye can still go through trying times.﻿&quot;I think sometimes, people see people in the public eye and they can&#039;t imagine things being tough for them, but we&#039;re all human and all have the same insecurities and it can be powerful for people to read those words.&quot;I have really beautiful messages from people... as hard as it is sometimes to do that, it&#039;s really beneficial.&quot;Now, Melanie C is celebrating her new music, with her ninth studio album titled Sweat coming out ﻿on May 1.The star of course has also had huge success as a solo artist over the years, and is known for hit songs including I Turn To You and Never Be the Same Again.﻿https://www.instagram.com/p/DV08BEYiLpO/?igsh=MXQ5aGoxaGhsemp2bQ==&quot;Sweat I suppose, in a way, is very inspired by being a Spice Girl, I fully embraced my sporty side,&quot; she says.&quot;﻿I had loads of fun in the studio, musically, obviously I am a pop artist and I always will be, but I&#039;ve been DJ&#039;ing for about eight years and just rekindled that love with dance and house music.&quot;I was a raver back in the early 90s and so it was really beautiful to bring those worlds closer together.&quot;Talking about the single, Sweat, she says: &quot;It&#039;s a bit of a workout anthem.&quot;&quot;It&#039;s a very upbeat, I&#039;d say postive and joyous record,&quot; she adds.Other new singles include Undefeated Champion and What Could Possibly Go Wrong?She&#039;s going on a world tour too, ﻿with dates in Canada, the US, the UK, Asia and even Australia.She will perform in Australia in November, with dates in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.&quot;I love making music, but the ultimate for me is being onstage,&quot; Melanie C says.&quot;It&#039;s that moment when you have your audience in front of you and ﻿there&#039;s such a connection and you&#039;re sharing this beautiful moment and it&#039;s what&#039;s always driven me.&quot;Now being the master of my own destiny, I&#039;m able to do it so much more and it makes me really happy. I will be up there having a ball.&quot;There&#039;s always a question in the mix about a reunion, so I couldn&#039;t help but ask. ﻿When asked about the Spice Girls ever coming to Australia and performing together, Melanie C says never say never.﻿&quot;We owe you, we owe Australia... but Australia has always been the one that&#039;s next,&quot; she says.Despite it being far away from the UK, she says with a laugh: ﻿&quot;That doesn&#039;t matter, It&#039;s worth it!&quot;Melanie C World Tour Dates for Australia are as follows:﻿Wed 11 Nov 2026 - Astor Theatre, PerthFri 13 Nov 2026 - Northcote Theatre, MelbourneSat 14 Nov 2026 - The Tivoli, BrisbaneSun 15 Nov 2026 - Enmore Theatre, SydneyFOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ R﻿ussell Brand has finally found the Bible verse he claims to have read in court while facing rape and sexual assault charges.Writing on X, the comedian revealed he had found it after his ﻿&quot;dire&quot; interview with Piers Morgan, in which the talk show host asked him to read the verse out loud on the show.Brand searched for the passage for 90 seconds ﻿as Morgan watched on, before ultimately saying he couldn&#039;t find it.Watch the video above.﻿&quot;I&#039;m still looking for that passage actually, from my dire … from Piers Morgan. Wait for it … wait for it. Look, it was marked all along,&quot; Brand said in a video posted to X two days after his appearance on YouTube talk show Piers Morgan Uncensored.&quot;I was looking for it. I thought, &#039;I should find the actual right passage — the exact one I was looking at when I was sat in the dark in the court.&quot;﻿The comedian says he read the Bible verse Isiah 43:18-19 out loud in court before he pleaded not guilty to one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape and two counts of sexual assault charges in a UK court earlier this year.READ MORE: Jules Neale opens up after splitREAD MORE: Aussie weigh in on the accuracy of The PittREAD MORE: Four words on t-shirt spell end of tennis power couple&quot;This is the verse I was looking at that day,&quot; he continued, before reading out the text.&quot;&#039;Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.&quot;See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.&#039;&quot;Brand then asked his followers if they ever felt that what they &quot;personally face will align and combine with something universal.&quot;During the comedian&#039;s appearance on Morgan&#039;s online talk show, ﻿the British broadcaster asked Brand if he &quot;could ask a question about his Bible.&quot;&quot;Yes, if you want,&quot; he replied. ﻿Morgan asked if it was the same Bible Brand had taken into the courtroom, which the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star ﻿said it was.&quot;What was your thinking of taking it into court? And what you were seeing, looking at some passages, what were the relevant passages for you?&quot; he asked.&quot;Thank you for asking me,&quot; Brand responded.He then began flipping through the pages of his bible, trying to find the verse. Morgan sat silently next to him while he searched.The moment went viral online, with Brand facing intense backlash almost immediately.His court case is still underway in the UK.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Z﻿ayn Malik spent his album release day in a hospital bed.The﻿ Pillowtalk singer was supposed to be celebrating the release of his new album Konnakol, however, Malik ended up in hospital dealing with a mystery illness.Malik, 33, took to Instagram from his hospital bed to apologise to fans that he wouldn&#039;t be able to make any public appearances for his album release week on April 17 (local time).&quot;﻿To my fans - Thank you to all of you for your love &amp; support now &amp; always - been a long week and am still unexpectedly recovering,&quot; he wrote over a photo of him in a hospital gown.&quot;Heartbroken that I can&#039;t see you all this week, I wouldn&#039;t be in the place I am today without you guys and am so thankful for your understanding.&quot;He went on to thank the &quot;incredible&quot; staff who have been looking after him, including nurses, doctors and cardiologists.﻿&quot;You are all legends! Big big love xx z,&quot; he finished the post.The singer was scheduled to appear at ﻿Rough Trade Below in New York City on April 20.It is unclear what he was hospitalised for, or how long he has been in the hospital.Malik is slated to start his first solo headline arena tour in North America in June.The singer, who is notoriously private, has been slowly opening up to his fans and the public in the last year. ﻿Earlier this year, the singer appeared on Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper to talk about fatherhood and his relationship with his supermodel ex, Gigi Hadid.In the podcast appearance, he confessed ﻿he doesn&#039;t think he was &#039;&#039;ever in love&#039;&#039; with Hadid, 30, during their time together.&quot;I will always love her, but I don&#039;t know if I was ever in love with her,&quot; he said.&quot;You said in an interview that you don&#039;t know if you&#039;ve ever truly been in love. Do you still stand by that?&quot; he was asked.&quot;Yeah. My understanding of love is always developing,&quot; the former One Direction star replied.&quot;At that moment in time, I might have thought it was love, but as I got older, I realised maybe it wasn&#039;t.&quot;Maybe it was lust. Maybe it was this, maybe it was that. I don&#039;t feel like it was love.&quot;﻿Referencing Hadid specifically, he said, &quot;To be fair, just to say this on the record, I will always love G, because she is the reason my child is on this earth, and I have the utmost respect for her.&quot;I will always love her, but I don&#039;t know if I was ever in love with her.&quot;&quot;I do love her a crazy amount, but no, I don&#039;t think I was in love with her at that point, otherwise I would have been a better version of myself.&quot;He and Hadid soon called it quits in October 2021.The supermodel is now dating Hollywood megastar Bradley Cooper, 51.﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Dubai-based radio personality Kris Fade ﻿could replace Kyle Sandilands at the Australian Radio Network (ARN), according to industry experts.Hosts of RadioToday and industry veterans ﻿Jen Seyderhelm and Steve Ahern, revealed the &quot;fascinating hot tip&quot; regarding the potential replacement for Sandilands in an episode posted on April 9.Seyderhelm tells Ahern that during the global Radio Days summit in March, Fade was asked by presenter John Simons if he had been approached by the network following Sandilands axing.&quot;Simons asked Kris whether or not he had been approached by ARN, and Kris said &#039;no comment,&#039;&quot; Seyderhelm explained.&quot;It gets better, that by itself is the same as Kyle stirring the pot, but before radio days, Kris&#039; family moved to Sydney.&quot;&quot;And, Kris Fade is currently in Sydney﻿... it might not be right away, but I think there is definitely something to see here.&quot;&quot;He is extraordinarily talented and has many strings to his bow.&quot;READ MORE: &#039;90s bandmates finally tie the knot after 30-year engagementREAD MORE: Real reason behind Bieber&#039;s &#039;lazy&#039; Coachella set uncoveredREAD MORE: She&#039;s the daughter of two stars but went unnoticed at CoachellaNine.com.au reached out to Fade, who responded to our enquiry, but did not confirm or deny the news. ﻿Fade&#039;s wife, ﻿Brianna Ramirez (now Brianna Fade), and his son have, in fact, moved to Sydney, with Brianna posting photos of her and her son at the Sydney Royal Easter Show just four days ago.Interestingly, Fade already has a history with KIIS FM, ﻿with the network picking up the Australian-focused version of his show on weekends in 2018.The network picked up The Chris Fade Show Around Australia nationally on Sundays in 2018, which aired every Sunday for a few years.He still has a presence on Australian airways, but through his podcast, rather than on an Australian radio station. ﻿Fade is an Australian national who found success in the Middle East with his radio show, The Kris Fade Show, which is based in Dubai.His radio show, produced by Virgin Radio, is the biggest and most listened to radio show in the entire region.Fade also featured in Netflix&#039;s reality show Dubai Bling alongside his wife.The media personality is so famous in the Middle East that Madame Tussauds Dubai honoured him with a wax figure.﻿If he does move his show to ARN, questions remain over whether they can offer a pay packet appealing enough to the wealthy Dubai socialite.ARN pulled the $200 million deal they had with Jackie O Henderson and Kyle Sandilands over a now-infamous on-air blow-up.Questions linger over how the ﻿deal was profitable for the network while the hosts prepare to face off with their former employers in court.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

I&#039;m not someone who likes to hook up when I&#039;m in a relationship. I don&#039;t really care about that.&quot;But I don&#039;t care if someone else were to. In fact, I kind of like it.&quot;Glaser is currently in an on again-off again relationship with TV producer partner Chris Covey﻿, who she has been linked to since 2013.Glaser expanded on her philosophy surrounding committed relationships, adding that being committed to somebody is &quot;innately settling.&quot; ﻿&quot;You do not know that the person you are with is the best person for you. There are too many people on this planet, you haven&#039;t met any of them. You never will. So you have to settle.&quot;She continued, saying the odds of meeting the person who&#039;s &quot;best f﻿or you&quot; are &quot;low.&quot;&quot;I don&#039;t believe in soulmates and I do believe you have to say &#039;This is the best I can do right now and I&#039;m gonna just cash in my chips because I probably could do better, but who knows?&#039;&quot;Cooper replied asking how she thinks her partner feels about that.&quot;He totally understands that there&#039;s someone better for him too,&quot; she said﻿, adding she doesn&#039;t think she is &quot;the love of his life.&quot;She also confirmed that he had &quot;done some stuff&quot; with other women.&quot;He probably wouldn&#039;t appreciate me elaborating on that, but there&#039;s been interesting things that have been really fun for me to hear about and experience,&quot; she said.&quot;Sometimes I&#039;m too busy to be really sexy, so I&#039;m like, &#039;Go out and get some attention.&#039;&quot; ﻿Glaser went from a stand-up comic to an actress and TV host, making Globes history last year when she became the first woman to host the awards solo.﻿In 2025, Glaser was nominated for a swag of awards for her 2024 comedy special, ﻿Nikki Glaser: Someday You&#039;ll Die, including a Critics&#039; Choice Television Award, Golden Globe, Grammy, Primetime Emmy and Writer&#039;s Guild of America Award, the latter of which she won.Glaser was reportedly paid $600,000 for last year&#039;s Golden Globes hosting gig, bringing her net worth to about $14 million.Much of her wealth comes from her stand-up comedy career, which brought her to Australia for the first time in 2025.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ EXCLUSIVE: &quot;It&#039;s been great to shine a light in a place that was pretty dark for me for a little while, and I know has been for other people,&quot; Em Rusciano says of using her platform for good.The comedian, TV and radio personality and former Australian Idol star, 47, has long been open about her experience of being diagnosed with ADHD and autism in her 40s.&quot;Being ADHD/autistic isn&#039;t a negative in any way. It was an explainer. It gave me context,&quot; she tells nine.com.auW﻿atch the video above.&quot;It gave me the map and the keys to my brain, and in some ways it makes my life hard and in some ways it makes it pretty magical, and it&#039;s not about lying about it either.&quot;Rusciano&#039;s own experience, including perimenopause, influenced her to create the podcasts Anomalous with Em Rusciano and Rage Against the Vagine in a bid to help others.&quot;I try to be the person and the information source that I really needed when I was going through it,&quot; she says.READ MORE: Tammy Hembrow&#039;s vow for new romance: &#039;Something I want to protect&#039;﻿READ MORE: Jennifer Aniston shares rare loved-up snap with boyfriendREAD MORE: ﻿How King Charles got his wish for a slimmed down monarchy&quot;The internet was so overwhelming when I found out about being autistic/ADHD and in perimenopause.&quot;There&#039;s so much conflicting information, and everyone&#039;s got an opinion and trying to sell you supplements﻿&quot;I thought, &#039;God, I wish there was a simplified, easy to consume, funny, heart-filled, messy [information source]&#039;, so I make those things.&quot;The feedback I get is always, &#039;I feel less alone, I&#039;m not crying alone at 2am in the foetal position at night. Thank you.&#039;&quot;I&#039;ve just formed this great community with neurodivergent people online also, and a lot of them come to my shows and they approach me on the street.&quot;It&#039;s been really important to me to help me understand myself and part of the journey of it all, too.&quot;Reflecting on her constantly-evolving career, which has ranged from music to radio, standup and TV, Rusciano says with a chuckle, &quot;A lot of that is staying interested.&quot;&quot;Why wouldn&#039;t I play every single card I have in my﻿ hands, play every string of my bow?&quot;It&#039;s just always felt really natural to go do the next thing, or to evolve something or to make something bigger and better.&quot;I&#039;m always asking, &#039;How can I make this more accessible, how can I make this more interesting or how can I help as many people as possible with what I&#039;m doing with this work?&#039; And I really love my job and what I do.&quot;Rusciano, who is helping celebrate the launch of Arnott&#039;s Shapes Light &amp; Crispy, rose to national fame thanks to Australian Idol.She appeared on the second season back in 2004, alongside the likes of Ricki-Lee Coulter and Anthony Callea.She recently enjoyed a small reunion with her co-stars.﻿&quot;I was so young and experiencing so much and thrust into this world of reality TV when it had just begun. It was really in its infancy,&quot; she muses to nine.com.au.&quot;I wouldn&#039;t have a career without Australian Idol. So I&#039;m not about to sit here and say it was a bad thing.&quot;It was a great thing for me, and but at the time ... it was a baptism of fire. I was having to learn media skills and I&#039;d never really sung in public before.&quot;﻿Rusciano is supporting the launch of Arnott&#039;s Shapes Light &amp; Crispy and the &#039;&amp; era&#039; campaign of snacking.&quot;I just love Shapes. I&#039;ve always loved Shapes,&quot; she says.&quot;The idea behind the &#039;&amp; era&#039; is kind of something I&#039;ve lived my entire life by, because I&#039;m a bit of everything, especially within the entertainment industry.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.&quot;They always want me to pick one lane. &#039;Are you a comedian?

<description><![CDATA[ S﻿inger Duffy has changed her name ahead of her long-awaited comeback, 16 years in the making.The now 41-year-old burst onto the scene in 2008 with her debut album Rockferry, but just three years later she withdrew from public life.Ahead of her comeback, it has been revealed that the singer﻿, born Aimée Anne Duffy, has opted for a fresh start and filed for an official name change. Two years after she withdrew from public life, she changed ﻿her name to Duffy Jones. Official documents filed with ﻿Companies House on June 14, 2013 detail the change.The Mercy singer is gearing up for a comeback signing a deal with Disney+ for a feature-length documentary film, diving into her rise to fame, as well as her retreat from public life following the &quot;unfathomable experience&quot;, and her recovery.The singer has also signed with ﻿TaP Management, who manage Dua Lipa.READ MORE:﻿ The worst part of Blake&#039;s job is that people don&#039;t believe it&#039;s realREAD MORE:﻿ Sia&#039;s brutal four-word statement after child support revealedREAD MORE:﻿ 90c &#039;pantry powerhouses&#039; sell out as Aussies tighten budgetsThe project aims to give fans &quot;new, unprecedented access&quot; to Duffy through interviews with her friends, family, and music peers.The Welsh singer has previously opened up and claimed that her retreat from the public eye was due to her being kidnapped and raped by an unknown man for weeks.In a lengthy statement shared on her website in April 2020 she recounted the incident.Duffy said she had been heavily drugged at a restaurant on her birthday, and later in her own home over four weeks. She was also kidnapped and taken to a foreign country, where she was sexually abused in a hotel room.The singer did not report the crime at the time out of fear that the perpetrator would &quot;dispose&quot; of her, though she had since let police know more details.﻿The incident resulted in a great depression that she recounted thoroughly in the post.&quot;When the ordeal happened, it destabilised me so severely, it took years and years, around 90,000 hours. I sometimes didn&#039;t know how I could make it through, it was hard and almost impossible,&quot; she wrote at one point.&quot;But I got here, as will you.&quot;She added that the incident even prompted her to look into changing her identity.&quot;I also considered and explored human rights laws to change my name off public record and disappear to another country and maybe become a florist or something, so that I could put the past behind with a new life,&quot; she penned.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.&quot;Because, although I was almost unfindable, I daydreamed of having a different haircut, a new name, a boyfriend, and become completely forever forgotten,&quot; the post continued. &quot;As time went on it then became about realising, I can&#039;t keep hiding, as thrilling as coffee in Paris seems.﻿&quot;Attempts at a comeback for the singer have been taking place since 2018 and 2019, reports claim, but nothing has materialised until now.﻿If you need help in a crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14. For further information about depression, contact beyondblue on 1300224636 or talk to your GP, local health professional or someone you trust.If you or someone you know is impacted by sexual assault, domestic or family violence, call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732 or visit 1800RESPECT.org.au.

<description><![CDATA[ Howie Mandel has apologised for his recent heated exchange with TV hosts Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos, but claims it was all a joke.The Canadian-born actor and comedian, who has been a judge on America&#039;s Got Talent for 15 years, took to Instagram to comment on the awkward exchange that took place during a recent appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark when attention turned to turning 70.But in Mandel&#039;s usual fashion, it was hard to tell where the apology ended and the joking began.Watch the video above.&quot;I have been debating for 48 hours whether I should make this post or not and I don&#039;t know if I&#039;m doing the right thing,&quot; Mandel began.&quot;Philosophically, I don&#039;t believe that somebody who is a comedian needs to apologise for a joke.&quot;It is a joke, it is meant as a joke, and it&#039;s not meant to offend﻿.&quot;READ MORE: David Beckham reveals what his kids asked after knighthoodREAD MORE: &#039;I met a Hemsworth, and I was not expecting this&#039;READ MORE: Katy Perry and Trudeau take us inside date nightMandel then said that in &quot;all my years, 50 years in the business, I haven&#039;t ever publicly apologised&quot;, before adding &quot;it&#039;s hard for me&quot;.&quot;But this is for Kelly Ripa, who in the past has been incredibly supportive. Not only have I been a guest on her show, but I have co-hosted with her and I&#039;ve known her for years,&quot; he said, adding the show&#039;s producer was also a good friend.﻿&quot;When I go out there, I just try to be entertaining and funny, and sometimes as a comedian, things don&#039;t land the way you mean them to land.&quot;&quot;And I don&#039;t know how to say this; not only do I want to say sorry to Kelly, but this is the hardest part, you&#039;re right, you&#039;re absolutely right and I&#039;m sorry I didn&#039;t see it that way, but after a lot of thought and self-reflection, I do look great for my age, I really do,&quot; he continued.&quot;I look fantastic, and I just have to embrace the fact I look this good.&quot;Mandel&#039;s comments come days after a recent appearance on the couple&#039;s talk show, when they attempted to compliment Mandel on his appearance﻿&quot;You just celebrated 70 years. You&#039;re 70 years old,&quot; began Consuelos.&quot;Yes, I&#039;m 70,&quot; said a smiling Mandel, to cheers from the audience.&quot;It doesn&#039;t make any sense,&quot; quipped Ripa.&quot;What do you mean it doesn&#039;t make any sense?&quot; said Mandel. &quot;&#039;I look great?&#039; That doesn&#039;t mean anything to me. No, no, no, no, no. I don&#039;t like that because it&#039;s a caveat. Because when you... tell someone you&#039;re 70 and they say, &#039;You look great...&#039;&quot;Ripa then interjected, saying, &quot;We&#039;re not saying you look great for 70. You look great...&quot; before she was cut off by Mandel.&quot;Yes you are. Without saying &#039;70&#039;﻿.&quot;&quot;We are saying you look great and I don&#039;t believe you&#039;re 70,&quot; Ripa continued.&quot;It&#039;s like saying, &#039;You&#039;re smart for a stupid person&#039;,&quot; Mandel continued before adding, &quot;It&#039;s like saying I don&#039;t look good.&quot;Mandel started his career in the 80s, and rose to fame after voicing the role of Gizmo in the 1984 hit film Gremlins.He also appeared in 137 episodes as Dr Wayne Fiscus in the popular 80s medical drama St Elsewhere.He has been a host on ﻿America&#039;s Got Talent since 2010.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Nicola Peltz appears to have taken another subtle swipe at the Beckhams. The actress, says her family embraced her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, &quot;like another son,&quot; as his estrangement from his own family continues to play out publicly.In an interview with ELLE, Peltz, spoke about how different Brooklyn&#039;s place is in her family, describing how he has bonded with her brothers.Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen? Watch After The Dinner Party hereWhen asked how her parents, billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and Claudia Heffner Peltz, embraced Brooklyn after their marriage, she says they treat him &quot;like another son&quot;.&quot;He gets along really well with my brothers. They play soccer together a lot,&quot; she said.The comment appeared pointed amid Brooklyn&#039;s ongoing rift with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham and his brothers, Romeo and Cruz.Despite the drama that has circled the couple&#039;s relationship, Nicola also praised her husband&#039;s support, saying, &quot;Brooklyn supports my dreams and is the sweetest when I get too hard on myself. He has the biggest heart in the world.&quot;READ MORE: Cruz takes a swipe at Brooklyn for &#039;breaking mama&#039;s heart&#039; ﻿READ MORE: Brooklyn Beckham&#039;s brutal snub of Victoria on Mother&#039;s Day﻿READ MORE: Norway&#039;s crown princess says she was &#039;deceived&#039; by Epstein﻿Nicola also offered fans a glimpse into married life with Brooklyn, saying being at home with him and their dogs is her &quot;idea of paradise&quot;.The latest comments come after a string of public moves that have kept speculation around the Beckham family feud in the spotlight.Earlier this month, Brooklyn appeared to snub Victoria Beckham on Mother&#039;s Day while posting a tribute to his mother-in-law, Claudia, for her birthday.&quot;Happy birthday to the best mother-in-law,&quot; he wrote on Instagram. &quot;Love u so much and hope u had the most amazing day.&quot;The long-simmering tensions between Brooklyn and his family have been the subject of speculation for years, dating back to his April 2022 wedding to Nicola.Rumours of friction first surfaced around Nicola&#039;s wedding dress after she wore a Valentino Haute Couture gown rather than a design by Victoria Beckham, despite later insisting she had wanted to wear one of her mother-in-law&#039;s creations.Brooklyn later accused his mother of pulling out of making the dress.﻿Since then, the family has faced repeated scrutiny over missed milestones, cryptic social media posts and public comments. The feud finally boiled over in January, when Brooklyn shared a lengthy Instagram statement in which he made a series of allegations about his parents and their handling of family matters.&quot;For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,&quot; he wrote.&quot;My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn&#039;t stopped.&quot;The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.&quot;Brooklyn also claimed, &quot;My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song...
 She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. &quot;I&#039;ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.&quot;He also claimed he no longer wanted to patch things up with his family, writing: &quot;I do not want to reconcile with my family. I&#039;m not being controlled, I&#039;m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.&quot;David, Victoria and Brooklyn&#039;s brothers have not publicly responded directly to the searing statement, though they did mark their firstborn&#039;s 27th birthday via social media earlier in March.Despite this, Nicola&#039;s newest comments make one thing clear: while Brooklyn&#039;s relationship with his own family appears fractured, he remains embraced by hers.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Just one year into their $100 million 10-year contract, the hasty end to The Kyle and Jackie O Show has left listeners reeling.The 27-year-strong co-hosts&#039; time on air together ended abruptly nearly three weeks ago, and it&#039;s still unclear how the falling-out will be settled.Here&#039;s a timeline of how the radio drama, described as &quot;the biggest, most consequential bust-up in Australian media – ever&quot;, has unfolded.Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen? Watch After The Dinner Party hereFriday, February 20It all began with an on-air argument where Kyle Sandilands criticised Jackie &#039;O&#039; Henderson for discussing the birth chart and astrological chart of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.Sandilands shut Henderson down, saying he felt she&#039;d been acting like a &quot;drug addict&quot; and was &quot;off with the fairies.&quot;&quot;Your fixation on this has made you almost unworkable,&quot; he said.READ MORE: Meghan to attend Sydney retreat in &#039;girls weekend like no other&#039;READ MORE: Insiders convinced Kyle&#039;s $20m next move is hiding in plain sight﻿READ MORE: ﻿&#039;Costco&#039;s little-known rule I learnt about the hard way&#039;&quot;You&#039;re not doing the rest of the job and everyone in this building has mentioned it to me.&quot;Henderson, clearly taken back by his criticism, said he was being &quot;mean and nasty.&quot;After the confrontation, she told Sandilands, &quot;there are so many things that you don&#039;t do, and I would never bring them up, and I would never say what people say.&quot; She told him that if she was so &quot;unworkable&quot;, he should &quot;get someone else.&quot;Monday, February 23The following Monday, Henderson did not return to work.During that morning&#039;s episode of The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Sandilands told listeners his co-host would be taking a break for &quot;a couple of days&quot; to &quot;gather her thoughts&quot;.However, on Tuesday, February 24 it was announced she would not be returning to the show for the rest of the week, and Sandilands said she would join him on air again soon. Tuesday, March 3Then came the bombshell: ARN, which operates KIIS FM, released a statement revealing Henderson had told the network she &quot;cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands.&quot;&quot;ARN has terminated the services agreement with Henderson Media Pty Ltd, under which Ms Henderson presents the Kyle and Jackie O show,&quot; the March 3 statement continued.The network also claimed Sandilands&#039; behaviour during the February 20 show was &quot;an act of serious misconduct&quot; and said he had been suspended and &quot;given 14 days to remedy this breach&quot;, with The Kyle and Jackie O Show taken off-air in the interim.Wednesday, March 4 Kent &quot;Smallzy&quot; Small stepped in to host KIIS FM&#039;s breakfast show, and opened with a statement essentially repeating ARN&#039;s announcement.&quot;My name is Smallzy, and I&#039;ve got a statement that I&#039;ve been asked to read before we start this morning,&quot; he said.&quot;So for our KIIS listeners, we&#039;ve got some important news for you. Jackie has given notice that she can no longer continue to work on the show with Kyle on breakfast. As such, Jackie has officially left the show.&quot;Kyle has been given 14 days to remedy a serious breach of contract in respect of the show. He&#039;ll not be on air during this time. If that does not happen, that contract will be terminated.&quot;That&#039;s what I have been told and asked to read you.&quot;Friday, March 6Henderson broke her silence with a statement on March 6, revealing she was &quot;deeply saddened by the events of the past week.&quot; &quot;There has been a lot of speculation and misinformation about my departure from the show,&quot; she said. &quot;I want to make one important point very clear: I did not quit or resign.&quot;I am deeply saddened by the events of the past week and the possibility of the show ending. This has come as a shock to me, as it has to everyone else.&quot;At this stage, I am unable to say anything further, as I am addressing this through the appropriate legal channels,&quot; Henderson added.Tuesday, March 10Sandilands then released a statement of his own, claiming &quot;[I] said things I wish I had said differently.&quot;&quot;I sent Jackie a message telling her I was sorry for anything I said that didn&#039;t go down well, that I love her and care for her, and that I could have handled it better,&quot; he said.&quot;Jackie and I have worked together for over 25 years. She is one of the most important people in my life. The idea that our partnership could end like this is devastating to me.&quot;Sandilands said ARN had told him to halt contact with his co-host in the wake of their on-air clash.&quot;The truth is that ARN terminated Jackie&#039;s contract on the same day it accused me of a breach. It suspended me from work,&quot; he added.&quot;All of this happened while I was being told to sit quietly and say nothing. That is not a genuine process.&quot;﻿He stated he was still &quot;committed&quot; to his 10-year $100 million contract with ARN.Wednesday, March 11A source close to Sandilands claimed the two had now made contact with each other, telling the Sydney Morning Herald, &quot;Both see it as it is: ARN jumping at the opportunity to try and save money.&quot;NowARN&#039;s treatment of the fallout has left entertainment professionals speculating whether the company is pleased to end the co-stars&#039; eye watering contracts.﻿Though they may not ever work together ﻿on KIIS FM again, both Henderson and Sandilands are said to have promising podcast future to fall back on.﻿ ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Kylie Jenner has spent most of her life being interviewed – but a question about boyfriend Timothée Chalamet has still managed to throw her for a loop.In her latest tell-all with Vanity Fair, the beauty mogul found herself unexpectedly flustered when the conversation turned to her relationship with the Call Me By Your Name star.Jenner, 28, has been dating Chalamet for three years, though the pair have primarily kept their romance out of the spotlight.Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen? Watch After The Dinner Party hereThat prompted one standout moment in the interview, when reporter Nate Freeman mentioned Chalamet&#039;s awards season love declaration.The actor had thanked Jenner while accepting Best Actor at the Critics&#039; Choice Awards earlier this year for his performance in Marty Supreme.&quot;Is it fun to be shouted out onstage?&quot; Freeman asked.READ MORE: Two words in Timothée&#039;s public declaration left fans shockedREAD MORE: Cody Simpson reveals the lie he told to woo supermodelREAD MORE: Sports presenter Mel McLaughlin reveals cancer diagnosishttps://www.instagram.com/p/DVvoksUFDmX/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1The question caught Jenner off-guard.&quot;It&#039;s the only time in our interview that Kylie gets flustered, but in the most charming way possible - she gets legitimately heart-fluttery, shy about how to truly answer. She wasn&#039;t expecting any direct questions about the relationship,&quot; the article states.After a follow-up prompt, the media personality offered a simple response.&quot;Of course,&quot; she says, blushing.The relationship has become one of Hollywood&#039;s most talked-about pairings - largely because the two stars occupy such different corners of pop culture.Jenner rose to global fame through reality television and social media before building a billion-dollar beauty empire, while Chalamet, 30, has spent the past decade establishing his acting career.Their romance has fascinated fans since it first emerged, with the pair initially keeping things extremely private.But during this year&#039;s awards season, the Oscar nominee made their relationship impossible to ignore.Accepting his Critics&#039; Choice Award, he publicly thanked Jenner.&quot;Lastly, I would like to say thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation,&quot; he said.https://www.instagram.com/p/DTHeAbbkXW6/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=embed_video_watch_again&quot;I love you. I couldn&#039;t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.&quot;Jenner, who was sitting in the audience, was seen smiling and mouthing &quot;I love you&quot; back.Chalamet later gave another nod to Jenner while accepting an award at the Golden Globe Awards, telling the crowd: &quot;To my parents and my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.&quot;Jenner has since become a familiar face on the awards-season circuit, attending several major events alongside Chalamet, including the BAFTA Awards.While her personal life may dominate headlines, the interview also hints at a possible new direction in her career – acting.She recently made a cameo appearance in The Moment, a mockumentary tied to pop star Charli xcx, and said the experience left her eager to explore more opportunities in front of the camera.&quot;The first movie premiere that I&#039;m in - I&#039;m thrilled. I&#039;m really thrilled,&quot; she says.&quot;This is the most excited I&#039;ve been for the red carpet. Usually I&#039;m not.&quot;Despite her enormous online platform, Jenner admitted stepping into the film world felt like a completely different experience.&quot;I&#039;ve actually gotten a few scripts, nothing that I feel is right yet, but I 100 percent want to do more,&quot; she says.Beyond her career ambitions, Jenner also spoke candidly about motherhood.The reality star shares two children – daughter Stormi and son Aire – with rapper Travis Scott, and said the final years of her 20s will be focused on balancing work, travel and time with her kids.&quot;In the last years of my 20s, I want to focus on just me, my businesses, my work, traveling with my kids, enjoying my kids, and then … I do want to have more kids.&quot;FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>Ben Fordham reveals critical mistake Kyle Sandilands made amid fallout with Jackie &amp;apos;O&amp;apos; Henderson</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 2﻿GB Radio host Ben Fordham has weighed in on the critical &quot;mistake&quot; Kyle Sandilands made that led to the fallout between him and his co-host, and Jackie &#039;O&#039; Henderson.Fordham told Behind the Mic with Mike E host Michael Etheridge that the conversation between the radio legends should have never played out on air.&quot;If Kyle had said to Jackie off air, &#039;Babe, your interest in astrology is driving me nuts&#039;, I reckon Jackie probably would have said &#039;oh right&#039;,&quot; he said.Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen? Watch After The Dinner Party hereDuring their on-air row on February 20, Jackie O read from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor&#039;s astrology birth chart when things kicked off.Sandilands told her ﻿the &quot;obsession&quot; with astrology had made her &quot;almost unworkable,&quot; adding &quot;you&#039;re off with the fairies with this s--t, it&#039;s mental.&quot;Following the argument, Henderson&#039;s contract with the Australian Radio Network (ARN) was terminated as she could no longer work with Sandilands, while he was suspended for two weeks﻿ to respond to accusations of misconduct by the radio station.Fordham, who is arguably Kyle and Jackie O&#039;s biggest radio rival, explained that the actual astrology conversation was not the issue, but rather the way it unfolded so publicly.READ MORE: Celeste Barber breaks her silence on split from husband Api RobinREAD MORE: Meghan to attend Sydney &#039;girls weekend&#039; retreatREAD MORE: Bondi shooting heroes share engagement news three months on﻿&quot;She&#039;s not a difficult person to work with, but it&#039;s the way he did it. Listening to that 13 minutes of audio, she was begging him to stop – saying &#039;This isn&#039;t fair, I would never do this to you&#039;,&quot; Fordham explained.&quot;He was already so far into it that he just steamrolled over the top of her.&quot;That&#039;s where the mistake was made.&quot;The 2GB host added that Sandilands knows he&#039;s in a bad position, which is why he released a statement to his listeners.&quot;He knows he&#039;s cooked, so he&#039;s fighting for his job, hoping he can whip up support from listeners and the public,&quot; he added.&quot;My gut tells me the Kyle and Jackie O show is finished on ARN.&quot;I think Jackie will be offered another role, Kyle? Probably not.&quot;Fordham also offered some insight into the legal battle that the network faces if the situation escalates.﻿&quot;Lawyers will have to decide if they&#039;re confident they can beat him in an unfair dismissal case. And Kyle should feel confident he can win that case,&quot; Fordham said.&quot;They&#039;ve got to weigh up whether they invite him back and take another hit to revenue, or risk blowing potentially tens of millions of dollars on lawyers at an unfair dismissal payout.&quot;Kyle is fighting to keep his job; he wants his job back. I don&#039;t think he&#039;s going to get it.&quot;Fordham also took a dig at the show&#039;s &quot;catastrophic&quot; decision to enter the Melbourne market in 2024 – which ultimately failed to make a dent in the ratings as predicted.&quot;When you&#039;re focusing on Melbourne, that means you&#039;re taking the eye off the ball in Sydney, and that&#039;s probably partly why we (2GB) beat them seven out of eight surveys last year,&quot; he joked.Sandilands and Henderson have been an on-air partnership for 27 years after starting their careers hosting the Top 30 on 2Day FM in 1999.They moved to breakfast in 2005 and then to KIIS in 2014, where they were under contract in a lucrative $200m 10-year deal that ran until December 2034.﻿There is currently no word on who might take over KIIS FM&#039;s coveted breakfast show should Sandilands not rectify his breach within 14 days. ﻿READ KYLE SANDILANDS&#039; STATEMENT IN FULL:I want to speak directly to my listeners, my colleagues and the public about what has been happening.On 20 February, I had an argument with Jackie on air about something that had been bothering me for a while. I said things I wish I had said differently.&quot;That same evening, I sent Jackie a message telling her I was sorry for anything I said that didn&#039;t go down well, that I love her and care for her, and that I could have handled it better.&quot;I meant every word of that, and I still do. Jackie and I have worked together for over 25 years. She is one of the most important people in my life. The idea that our partnership could end like this is devastating to me.ARN told me that I am not allowed to contact Jackie. They have told me that I am not allowed to speak to my colleagues. I did what was asked even though it made it impossible for me to do the one thing anyone in my position would want to do – pick up the phone and talk to the person I have been talking with continually for my entire career.The truth is that ARN terminated Jackie&#039;s contract on the same day it accused me of a breach. It suspended me from work. All of this happened while I was being told to sit quietly and say nothing. That is not a genuine process.I am not going to pretend that everything about this situation is simple. Jackie told me she was hurt, and I accept that. But we have had disagreements before and we have always worked through them. That is what partners do. We never needed lawyers or ASX announcements to sort things out. I believe we could have sorted this out too, if ARN had given us the chance.I have a contract with ARN that runs until 2034. I am committed to that contract.Despite what ARN says, I am not in breach of that contract.I want to be on air. I want to be with my audience. I want to do the job I have done my entire adult life.I am asking ARN to do the right thing: honour our agreement and let me get back to doing what I do best – entertaining the people who have supported this show for more than two decades.To my listeners: Thank you. I miss you. I&#039;ll be back.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<title>&amp;apos;Begging me to be harsher&amp;apos;: Janice Dickinson reveals dark side of her role on America&amp;apos;s Next Top Model</title>

<description><![CDATA[ America&#039;s Next Top Model has been thrown back into the spotlight, and former stars of the show are speaking out. Janice Dickinson, who viewers can agree was quite a polarising member of the cast, has spoken out about her time on the show in the new E! Series Dirty Rotten Scandals. The 71-year-old former model claimed Tyra Banks was pushing her to be &quot;harsher&quot; during judging of the girls&#039; photos from their shoots. Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen? Watch After The Dinner Party here&quot;The producers on America&#039;s Next Top Model, especially Tyra, were begging me to be harsher and cruel, like Simon Cowell was on American Idol,&quot; Dickinson claimed during a recent episode of the series. At the time, Cowell was a judge on American Idol and his snarky and at times brutal responses were ratings gold for the series. The process of ANTM was a similar format to Idol, with the girls competing to win a modelling contract, rather than a record deal – thus the drive to have a similar appeal for success in ratings. READ MORE: &#039;How do I go forward?&#039; Robert Irwin&#039;s most raw interview to dateREAD MORE: Truth behind Jackie O&#039;s snub of Meghan Markle eventREAD MORE: Nicole Kidman speaks about Keith Urban divorce for the first timeElsewhere in the episode, Dickinson opened up about Banks&#039; attitude towards the contestantsShe claimed the supermodel would flip from being supportive to antagonistic at different points throughout the show, and alleged it was due to her seeing them as competition. &quot;Tyra didn&#039;t want any competition,&quot; Dickinson claimed. She also believes Banks &quot;would go harder on the Black girls on the show, because it&#039;s about competitiveness and jealousy and her being older than these young models.&quot;Despite Banks having a supportive &#039;big sister&#039; role throughout moments of the show&#039;s 24 seasons, which ran between 2003 and 2018, Dickinson alleged this wasn&#039;t the case. &quot;She was always trying to be this tough &#039;team mom&#039; to the girls, but she just did not build up enough confidence in the girls,&quot; she said. &quot;They left the show completely depressed and depleted while she got so effing rich.&quot;﻿nine.com.au has reached out to Banks for comment on the claims made by Dickinson. Dickinson was replaced on the judging panel by former model Twiggy in 2005, but she continued to appear as a guest judge through 2006. She went on to star in VH1&#039;s The Surreal Life and landed her own show, The Janice Dickinson Modelling Agency, which ran from 2006 to 2008.Dickinson is one of many who are now speaking out about the modelling competition show, with former contestants and winners airing their issues in the Dirty Rotten Scandals: America&#039;s Next Top Model series.Banks was not interviewed for the E! series. Netflix has also released a three-part documentary series, Reality Check: Inside America&#039;s Next Top Model, which explores the history of the show, including interviews with Banks.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ ﻿R﻿obert Irwin has opened up on losing his father in his most emotional interview yet.The Wildlife Warrior ﻿spoke on the CNN Podcast All There Is with Anderson Cooper about growing up without dad Steve Irwin, explaining how he tries to stay connected to him years after his death.In the 50-minute interview, Robert said he feels connected to his late father the most when he is alone in nature, &quot;in the middle of nowhere.&quot;Watch the video above.﻿&quot;There are moments where I&#039;ll be hit with this sense of – it&#039;s warmth,&quot; he said, tearing up.&quot;It&#039;s like something kind of wraps around me. And I will absolutely sit and just say, &#039;How do I go forward ... how do you move forward?&#039;&quot;Robert added that it can be difficult to process his grief while living in the public eye and having his dad be &quot;a constant thread&quot; in his life.READ MORE: Bec Judd gets candid about her no-fills upbringingREAD MORE: Cody Simpson reveals the lie he told to woo supermodelREAD MORE: Radio veteran&#039;s grim prediction about Kyle and Jackie O﻿﻿&quot;Sometimes one of the nicest things is to just sit, and kind of just let it all go,&quot; he said.&quot;I let it all pour out, and it feels like I&#039;m kind of letting him in. And sometimes I just sit and just go, &#039;What&#039;s next? How do I put one foot in front of the other?&#039; There&#039;s no answer, but it almost feels like there&#039;s a resolution that comes out of that.&quot;Steven Irwin died in 2006 at the age of 44, when his son was only two years old.Robert said he ﻿&quot;completely&quot; and &quot;totally&quot; felt the absence of his dad while he was growing up.&quot;When I walk around our place at Australia Zoo, being here, in the place that he built, I feel him so completely, but it&#039;s impossible not to feel that ﻿equal sense of emptiness of him not being here,&quot; Irwin said.Robert also opened up about how his sister Bindi grieves their father differently; she was eight years old when Steve died.&quot;My struggle is the fear of losing those memories of him, my sister had so much more time with him ... that grief journey is﻿ different for her,&quot; he said.&quot;I think it stings more [for her], for me it&#039;s a blanket that&#039;s suffocating me, but for her it&#039;s a stab.&quot;Robert got visibly emotional at times during the interview, including when he revealed his &quot;greatest fear&quot; ﻿in life is forgetting how his dad &quot;felt.&quot;&quot;That was something that would really keep me up at night,&quot; he says.&quot;One of the most saving graces in keeping him alive in my life is my mum. She is the reason why I have such a clear picture of who he was.&quot;He recalled watching documentaries starring his father every morning for years ﻿after his death, which helped him remember his dad.&quot;My dad is almost a feeling [more] than a memory; the memories I have of him are so incredibly vague,&quot; he said.&quot;One of the greatest gifts in my ﻿life is the fact that my childhood growing up with my dad was all captured on camera.&quot;Robert added that he feeling like sometimes his dad is trying to show him something. ﻿One instance that stuck out for the wildlife warrior Dancing with the Starswas when he was leading a team on a crocodile research expedition in Northern Australia for the first time ever.They came across a massive crocodile Robert had to jump on so the team could tag it.﻿&quot;I&#039;m nervous, my heart is pounding ... we do the capture and this (crocodile) put me through it ... he&#039;s death rolling, head shaking, couple of really close calls on my behalf,&quot; he recalled.When he finally got the crocodile in the position to tag it and attach the trackers, someone on his team realised it had been tagged before.Robert said it was impossible, as it was missing the microchip tracker that they put onto every crocodile their team had caught in recent years.&quot;&#039;I was like, &#039;That&#039;s impossible, we&#039;ve never caught this croc&#039;, it wasn&#039;t ﻿in any of our records,&quot; he said.&quot;While I&#039;m sitting, there lying on this crocodile, there&#039;s this very distinct marking in one of his scales, and I just had this little epiphany.&quot;&#039;I thought, &#039;Wait a minute, let me check this photo&#039; ... it was this old photo that I remembered of my dad with a giant crocodile that he had caught 20 years ago, I looked at this photo and I thought, &#039;Yep, that&#039;s it.&#039;&quot;It was a crocodile that my dad had caught 20 years ago and the craziest bit is we managed to use satellite technology to figure it out, and we caught him in the exact same spot that he did.&quot;It felt like that was Dad being like, &#039;This is your first time leading the team.

<title>&amp;apos;You&amp;apos;re stuffed without chemistry&amp;apos;: Radio insiders weigh in on the uncertain future of Kyle and Jackie O</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ANALYSIS -- They&#039;ve been one of Australia&#039;s most enduring radio duos for the past 27 years, but now Kyle Sandilands and Jackie &#039;O&#039; Henderson are facing their biggest test yet.Their partnership has always been rock-solid, until an on-air clash last week prompted Jackie to take a hiatus which has now officially been extended into a second week.And while Sandilands claimed this morning that his co-host would be coming back on-air in the near future, there&#039;s been radio silence from her camp thus far although an official statement is expected to come soon.Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen? Watch After The Dinner Party hereThe duo has become so ingrained in the Australian psyche that this on-air clash feels deeply personal to their devotees.If they don&#039;t make up, it begs the question – what would a future look like ﻿if Australia&#039;s most famous radio marriage ends in a permanent divorce?We spoke to some of Australia&#039;s most successful radio personalities, who shared their thoughts on what it takes to create winning on-air team.﻿Let&#039;s kick things off with a former king of the airwaves, Ian Rogerson of Jono and Dano fame.Jono Coleman and Ian Rogerson dominated the airwaves for more than 40 years at multiple stations, including Triple J, 2SM, Triple M Sydney, and 101.7 WSFM, starting in the 1980s.IN PHOTOS: All the red carpet looks from the 2026 Actor Awards﻿READ MORE: Jackie O takes another week off after on-air clash with Kyle﻿READ MORE: &#039;Can&#039;t wait&#039;: Delta Goodrem&#039;s huge career milestoneRogerson, who currently co-hosts the Suddenly Senior podcast alongside radio icon Angela Catterns, ﻿told nine.com.au it can be difficult to start working with a new co-host. But it&#039;s definitely not impossible.&quot;It&#039;s got to do a lot of the time with chemistry and how people get on,&quot; he said.&quot;I remember I worked with Johnny for years and years and years, all the way through the﻿ 80s and then the 90s.”Then, there was a new partnership.“After a period of time of working on my own I ended up working with Debbie Spillane on Hard Coffee,&quot; he added.Thankfully, it worked.&quot;﻿We really clicked well. [Changing co-hosts] it is possible to do.&quot;Australian radio legend Wendy Harmer was part of the highly successful 2Day FM breakfast show The Morning Crew alongside Peter Moon and Paul Holmes, which ran for 11 years from 1993.She then enjoyed a second successful on air pairing with Robbie Buck on ABC ﻿from 2018. Both shows ended their runs on ratings highs.Harmer told nine.com.au on-air chemistry is &quot;a pretty rare, wonderful thing&quot; and it&#039;s something that can be extremely rare to find.&quot;I know that for outsiders it might seem like, well, you just get a facsimile of the person who was there before and plop them in, but it&#039;s not really like that,&quot; she said.&quot;You have to get to understand the person&#039;s rhythms, how they construct their jokes and and banter and what is expected in reply.&quot;It&#039;s a lot of give and take. Sometimes you let your partner shine. Sometimes they set you up to shine.&quot;And it isn&#039;t just about the hours spent together on-air.&quot;That&#039;s a whole different world. You stumble out [of the studio] at 9am, but then you&#039;ve got all the prep, you&#039;re sometimes going to see movies or going to press conferences.&quot;That&#039;ll take you through to the afternoon and then that night you might be going to a function or maybe you have to watch a particular TV show or something. It can be an incredibly long day.﻿&quot;When you do breakfast radio you spend probably as much time with that other person than you do your actual partner. And such early hours. You&#039;d better be getting along.&quot;Robbie Buck told nine.com.au creating a successful on air duo is &quot;not as easy as people think”.&quot;They think it&#039;s easy to throw two people together and off you go. It&#039;s chemistry, chemistry and chemistry. Without it, you&#039;re stuffed.&quot;I have been lucky enough to have had two really great breakfast shows with really terrific chemistry – one on Triple J and the other one on ABC on 702. In both those places, I loved the people I was working with.&quot;But without that, you&#039;d really be stuffed because it&#039;s such a gruelling job. It&#039;s each and every day getting up super early in the morning. They&#039;re the first people you see each day. You see more of each other than you do of your spouse or the rest of your family.&quot;It&#039;s a huge level of commitment and you just can&#039;t fake it.&quot;The thing about radio is that it&#039;s the most transparent medium there is.&quot;﻿Bella Leone has been part of successful duo ﻿Christian &amp; Bella For Breakfast on i98 for the past five years, with the duo having worked together for 12 years.She told nine.com.au her enduring relationship with Christian McEwan can be attributed to having &quot;the same humour&quot;.&quot;You can&#039;t force it. When it&#039;s together, it&#039;s together. You can&#039;t describe what it is. You can&#039;t really think about it,&quot; she said.&quot;We are both of Italian backgrounds, we both have big families, and that sort of got us going.&quot;But we had the same humour, and that&#039;s what makes it work. We&#039;d just muck around and just understand each other&#039;s humour and not get offended.&quot;There have been times when we have been out of alignment. When we each had kids we drifted apart as we focused on children.”﻿But they have always been able to recalibrate, and their relationship, both on and off the air, is stronger than ever.﻿Heidi Lee Anderson, who worked on Heidi, Will &amp; Woody for Hit 92.9 in Perth from 2013 for six years, told nine.com.au that &quot;co-hosting is one of the hardest roles in broadcasting&quot;.&quot;I know this from experience. Across my own shows, I&#039;ve worked with co-hosts where the chemistry was instant, and others where it took a significant amount of time and effort to build.&quot;What listeners often don&#039;t realise is that the chemistry they hear is usually the result of a lot of work happening outside the show.&quot;Longevity like Kyle and Jackie O&#039;s doesn&#039;t happen by accident. It&#039;s built through connection, trust, mutual respect and genuinely liking each other.&quot;You spend more time with your co-host than you often do with your own family, and audiences can tell when something is forced.&quot;Mandy Coolen, who worked in breakfast radio for 10 years, including on the Central Coast&#039;s 107.7 Triple M (which rebranded from 2GO) with Akmal Saleh and then Rob Palmer, told nine.com.au the key to a successful on air relationship is &quot;trust&quot; and &quot;to know how far you can push your co-host&quot;.&quot;Friction between co-hosts is good. No one wants to listen to two people who agree on everything and be pleasant all the time.&quot;If Sandilands and Henderson don&#039;t manage to patch things up, and their careers do evolve to new working partnerships, it will remain to be seen if their long-time listeners can adjust to the change.But will Kyle and Jackie&#039;s loyal followers cope with such a change?Sandy Rea, a leading practising psychologist in Melbourne of 30 years, told nine.com.au one of the successes of any media partnership is &quot;the predictability of the team&quot;.&quot;Humans love to anticipate behaviour and get satisfaction when they are mostly right. We know that Kyle and Jackie O bounce off each other and often share outrageous commentary. That is their schtick and the listeners expect it.&quot;By following Kyle and Jackie O, the audience then forms para-social relationships with the celebrity (Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson).This is a uni-directional relationship where they think they know all about the celebrity and know their lives.&quot;Rea says either members of the duo forming a new on air partnership may be &quot;disruptive to that parasocial relationship and the audience typically do not like it, especially if their allegiance is to one celeb over another&quot;.&quot;This is because the predictability has changed, the para social relationship has changed and the dynamism between a new team cannot possibly be the same.&quot;But let&#039;s hope it doesn&#039;t come to that.Pondering a potential change, one radio insider anonymously told nine.com.au: ﻿&quot;Creative friction is a normal thing in a functioning partnership, but I don&#039;t know if Kyle could be just a shock jock on his own.&quot;Another added: &quot;Kyle is a talent and anything is possible. However if he did start with a new co-host, after 25 years of the same one, the comparisons would be brutal.&quot;For now, Henderson is off air for another week, and their devoted audience is yet to find out what their future holds.Come next Monday morning, more is sure to be revealed.Until then, fans can only hope their shared history, both on and off the air, is enough to bring them back together.﻿﻿FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.

<description><![CDATA[ Jim Carrey has been forced to address bizarre rumours about his recent appearance at an award show.The comedy icon, 64, largely stays out of the public eye nowadays but emerged for the César Awards held in Paris on February 26, where he received an Honorary César.But his appearance soon sparked bizarre theories, including that a makeup artist had impersonated him with the help of a mask, which the actor has now been forced to deny.Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen? Watch After The Dinner Party hereCarrey&#039;s publicist, Marleah Leslie, overnight issued a blunt statement to Rolling Stone and other media outlets, saying, &quot;Jim Carrey attended the Cesar Awards, where he accepted his Honorary Cesar Award&quot;.The head of the awards has also given a statement to entertainment bible Variety to refute wild claims someone had appeared in Carey&#039;s place or, even more bizarrely, that he had been cloned.The Cesar Awards&#039; general delegate Gregory Caulier told Variety rumours about Carrey were a non-issue and praised the actor&#039;s dedication to delivering his entire acceptance speech in French.READ MORE: Eric Dane&#039;s cause of death revealedREAD MORE: Jelly Roll seen after being injured in freak accidentREAD MORE: Kyle Sandilands shares major update on Jackie O return﻿&quot;Jim Carrey&#039;s visit has been planned since this summer,&quot; he told Variety.&quot;From the outset, he was extremely touched by the Academy&#039;s invitation.&quot;Eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words.&quot;He came with his partner, his daughter, his grandson and 12 close friends and family members.&quot;His longtime publicist accompanied him. His old friend Michel Gondry, who has made a film and two series with him, was there, and they were delighted to see each other again, he continued, adding the rumours were &quot;a non-issue&quot;.&quot;I just remember his generosity, his kindness, his benevolence, his elegance.&quot;﻿Comments about Carrey&#039;s appearance first popped up on social media sites following the César Awards and soon gathered pace, sparking theories on everything from plastic surgery claims to cloning.Then what appears to have been a joke by a makeup artist known for morphing into stars added fuel to the fire.Alexis Stone took to Instagram on March 1, 2026, to post a photo of a prosthetic face mask and false teeth next to the caption, &quot;Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris&quot;.While this was clearly a joke, many took the post to be an admission Carrey was not in Paris until his publicist spoke out overnight.Carrey was one of the most prolific comedy actors of the 90s and early 2000s, with a string of comedy hits to his name following his breakthrough roles in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask, both of which were released in 1994.For a daily dose of 9honey, subscribe to our newsletter here.He went on to star in comedy hits including Dumb and Dumber, Liar Liar and Bruce Almighty, but also showed his acting prowess in The Truman Show, for which he won a Best Actor award at the Golden Globes, and darker roles in The Cable Guy and Batman Forever.In 2022, he announced he was retiring from acting, but returned for a voice acting role in the 2024 film Sonic the Hedgehog 3.Carrey has one child, daughter Jane, 38, from his marriage to Melissa Womer. He is also a proud grandfather to her son Jackson, who turned 15 last week.His second marriage, to actress Lauren Holly, lasted less than a year. He was later engaged to Renée Zellweger and had a long-term relationship with Jenny McCarthy.He dated Irish makeup artist Cathriona White from 2012 and 2015. After she died of a prescription drug overdose in 2015, her estranged husband sued Carrey for wrongful death, as did her mother, but both lawsuits were later dismissed.Carrey was accompanied to the César Awards with new girlfriend Bang Min-ah, also known as Minah, a South Korean singer and actress who is 32 years his junior.FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.
