What Happened to Fezco in the 'Euphoria' Finale? - Vulture

Photo: HBO

Spoilers follow for “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name,” the season-two finale of Euphoria

Amid all the chaos of the Euphoria universe in season two — the heroin, the sexualized fever dreams, the difficulty in getting body glitter out of one’s laundry — the finale episode “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name” actually wrapped up a fair amount of arcs and loose ends. Rue quits doing drugs as easily as Miranda kicked alcoholism in And Just Like That…, telling us through her customary voiceover narration that she stayed clean through the end of the school year. Cassie and Maddy reach a kind of detente after fighting over Nate, and even hint at a John Tucker Must Die team-up with Maddy’s “This is just the beginning” line. Nate turns his father Cal into the police for “everything,” leading to the elder Jacobs’ arrest at one of his many under-construction properties. But any kind of closure for our favorite sensitive bad boy, Fezco? That remains a mystery, as does Sam Levinson’s long-term plan for this character.

Euphoria is as much about the fraught nature of young adulthood as it is about the perils of addiction, and the series has combined these themes in Fezco, portrayed by social media trickster Angus Cloud. One of the breakout characters of the second season, Fezco is a spin on a particular Dylan McKay/Ryan Atwood/Angel archetype. He hasn’t always made the right choices, but he’s trying to now. As a viewer, to like Fezco isn’t to explicitly approve of the fact that he deals drugs, including to teens only a few years younger than he is; this isn’t a Walter White situation, in which rooting for the protagonist was a misunderstanding of how the series was presenting his megalomania and greed. But if the entire point of Euphoria is to probe at the limits of our empathy for characters whose actions are more often gray than black or white, then Fezco is more of a D’Angelo Barksdale or a Bodie Broadus than the Greek. Can you make bad choices and do bad things, but be a good person? What is the balance, and what tips the scales?

Trust is a tricky thing in Euphoria, since so many characters are either in a transformative period (Jules, Cassie, Kat) or caught in a cycle of self-deceit (Rue, Nate). The lies people tell and their far-reaching effects have been woven into Euphoria’s storytelling from the pilot; perhaps that’s why Fezco has emerged so appealing from these eight episodes — he’s the only person in the room willing to put the protection of other people over his own self-interest. Even in this finale episode, amid a turned-to-11 scene that feels like Levinson trying to outdo Scarface, Fezco’s primary concern is how to protect his younger brother Ash(tray) from the cops launching an all-out siege against their home. There goes those Little House on the Prairie-inspired dreams of growing old on a farm one day, surrounded by “horses, cows, pigs, chickens, goats … a little family,” and even the possibility of a proper first date with Lexi. Both now seem as improbable as Ash surviving that offscreen shot.

Fezco is a contrasting portrait of a young man who grew up too fast: his gentle speaking voice belies a rugged, feral physicality; his direct gaze can switch from curious to furious in a second’s time. Euphoria is often in conversation with or evocative of an array of other pop culture offerings, and if the antics at Euphoria High are Levinson’s version of Harmony Korine’s Kids, then everything involving Fezco is his spin on Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher trilogy. In the Euphoria pilot, when so many others reacted to Rue’s return to town after a three-week stint in rehab with shock, her dealer Fezco only expressed a sort of resigned worry. “Ain’t that the point?” he asked when Rue scoffed at the idea of staying sober. At Nate’s party that night, there was no hesitation when he confessed to her, “I like you, and I missed you, bruh. I’ve seen a lot of people die. None like you … This drug shit, it’s not the answer.”

Cloud makes clear the discomfort Fez carries. His line deliveries are measured, deliberate, with a little bit of a drawl; he holds eye contact even as his body language reads relaxed and unassuming. He doesn’t quite exude menace, but he radiates a kind of preparedness: a coiled spring full of energy yearning for release. Part of Fezco’s appeal is that he’s an enigma, from his last name to his age (20-ish, if we can believe Nate) to whether he dropped out of high school or college. What stands out in lieu of biographical details are his actions: bathing and caring for his grandmother; picking a high Faye off the floor; trying to protect Rue — “my family” — every chance he gets; gently wooing Lexi through lengthy phone conversations, quiet movie dates, and a shared affection for Bob Ross.

Unlike Nate’s poor-little-rich-boy characterization, Fezco hasn’t been over-explained to tedium, and he’s more humanized than the series’ higher-level drug dealers, Mouse and Laurie. Nate, Mouse, and Laurie all see Rue as damaged goods, and consider how to spin what they see as her weakness to their advantage. Fezco, aware that his own actions helped make Rue the addict she is now, carries that regret in their every interaction. It’s why he nearly pulls a gun on Mouse after he gives Rue fentanyl in “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy”; it’s why he refuses to sell to Rue in “Made You Look”; it’s why he agrees to intimidate Nate on Rue’s behalf in “The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Pee While Depressed”; it’s why he beats in Nate’s face in season two premiere “Trying to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door.” This mentality makes sense once Euphoria provides Fezco’s backstory in that same episode, explaining how he learned the dealing business from his “motherfuckin’ G” grandmother, Marie O’Neill, whose own use of violence had unintended consequences. And it also makes sense, somewhat, in “All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name,” when Fezco realizes from Faye’s tipoff that Custer is working with police, tries to stop Ash from killing him, then attempts to protect Ash by pretending he committed the murder. The close-up of Fezco’s fingers closing around the handle of Ash’s bloody knife is the most affecting shot of this episode, and a moment that seems quietly, irreversibly fated.

Then the shootout happens. The whacking impact of the rounds from Ash’s automatic rifle, Fezco’s insistent shouts to both Ash to give himself up and to the cops to stop firing at a child, and the red laser lights from the SWAT team’s guns cut through the haze of gunpowder smoke and destroyed drywall. This is Euphoria trying to be real life after playing with performative memory in Lexi’s Our Life play, but the series’ internal logic is so inconsistent that this scene doesn’t quite land outside of Cloud and Javon “Wanna” Walton’s committed performances. Was Custer on some kind of live call with the cops, or just recording what he hoped would turn into Fezco’s confession? This is the same police force whose members gave up chasing Rue just a few weeks ago? The same cops who, if they were investigating Mouse’s murder, should’ve known he was connected to other Big Bad Laurie, as Faye was trying to say while protecting Fez and turning on Custer? Was the SWAT team’s onslaught of violence against Ash (who is a child and from whom the police have no physical evidence) compared with the politeness with which the police arrest the wealthy Cal (whom they have on video committing myriad sex crimes) a purposeful point about classist discrepancies in law and order? Maybe?

Moreso, though, it felt like Euphoria choosing to sacrifice Fezco, who embodies so many of the series’ central questions about humanity, for the sake of a big, tonally out-of-place action showpiece. Selfishly, this is irritating given that catfisher and abuser Nate gets a redemption arc by turning in Cal, and Laurie and her locked door remain unscathed. But structurally, it’s bizarre that after spending so much time this season setting up the Lexi and Fezco flirtation, and after presenting Rue as making amends with people she’s wronged, Euphoria doesn’t have either of them mention what happened to Fezco. That arrest would certainly have made news. Wouldn’t Lexi, Rue, or hell, even Nate — Fezco’s long-running nemesis — have a reaction worth sharing with us? Perhaps Euphoria’s third season, ordered by HBO earlier this month, will mimic the second season in again starting off with a Fezco-inspired sequence. But that last shot of his shoe stepping on his bloodied note to Lexi as police haul him out of his home felt like a too-pat embodiment of “Art should be dangerous,” the line Levinson gave Our Life stage manager Bobbi. In seemingly shuffling off the stage one of its most compelling and complicated characters, Euphoria didn’t need to be so literal.

Top-secret A-list couple make public debut - NEWS.com.au

They’ve been quietly dating for a while – but fans were shocked to see Naomi Watts arm-in-arm with this famous actor at today’s SAG Awards.

Actress Naomi Watts surprised celeb-watchers at today’s Screen Actor’s Guild Awards by walking the red carpet alongside her boyfriend of the past few years, actor Billy Crudup.

The fiercely private couple have been quietly dating since starring together in the Netflix series Gypsy in 2017 – but five years later, their arm-in-arm appearance at today’s SAG Awards in Los Angeles marks their red carpet debut.

The pair have never commented publicly on their relationship, and have only been photographed together a handful of times since getting together, usually in paparazzi shots spotted around New York.

“I try to make it a point of not commenting publicly one way or the other about my personal life,” The Morning Show star Crudup told E! News in 2018 when asked about his girlfriend.

“I don’t particularly see the advantage of people knowing too much about me if I’m constantly trying to trick them into thinking I’m someone else.”

Watts, 53, was previously in a relationship with actor Liev Schreiber from 2005 to 2016. The British-born actress, who migrated to Australia with her family aged 14 and has been claimed as one of our most successful Hollywood exports, shares two children with Schreiber.

Crudup, also 53, was in a relationship with actress Mary-Louise Parker from 1996 to 2003.

Parker was seven months pregnant with their son when Crudup ended their relationship and began dating actress Claire Danes. They split in 2006.

Watts and Crudup’s red carpet debut is one of many highlights at today’s SAG Awards, taking place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

Fellow Australian actress Cate Blanchett leads a plunging neckline trend on the red carpet, appearing in a stunning black gown with chunky bead detail.

Drug dealer’s shocking reply to sober star - NEWS.com.au

US comedian John Mulaney has revealed his truly bizarre text exchange with his “main drug dealer” during a wild opening monologue on SNL.

US comedian John Mulaney has exposed his bizarre text exchange with his “main drug dealer” during an opening monologue on Saturday Night Live.

The 39-year-old TV star, who was hosting the long-running show for a fifth time, detailed his journey to becoming sober and how his counsellor urged him to “break up” with his drug dealer via text.

“I texted my main dealer, Arvin, first,” Mulaney began. “And I said, ‘Hey, I’m deleting and blocking you. I’m sober now. I’m never going to buy drugs again.’

“I’m polite, so I didn’t know how to end the text, so I was like, ‘But … Thank you for all of the nights that became days and your inspired professionalism.’”

Before Mulaney had a chance to block him, Arvin replied in the most unexpected way for a man who has just been sacked and presumably forfeited a lucrative revenue stream.

Mulaney said: “He texts me back, he goes, ‘Hey I’m so proud of you, I’m so happy that you got sober. I only bought drugs to sell to you because I was worried about you and I didn’t want you to get worse stuff off the street.’

“And I’m breaking up with this guy? So I can’t block him now, I text him back. I go, ‘Hey, oh my god you sweet man, you only bought drugs to sell to me? Did you sell drugs to other people?’ He said, ‘No.’”

Things took another weird turn from there, with Mulaney uncovering that Arvin was, in fact, not even a drug dealer.

“I said, ‘This is a weird time to ask, but are you a drug dealer?’ He said, ‘No, I’m a painter, we talked about this,’” Mulaney said.

“Ladies and gentleman, I have no idea how I know this person. There are many tales of drug dealers who have turned innocent people into drug addicts, I might be the first drug addict to turn an innocent man into a drug dealer.”

Mulaney has long been open about his struggles with addiction. Back in December 2020, he entered a rehab facility in Pennsylvania for 60 days for treatment for cocaine and alcohol addiction.

Following his time in rehab, Mulaney asked for a divorce from his wife of seven years, Anna Marie Tendler, in February last year. He officially filed for divorce that July.

Anna – who is an artist, photographer, and writer – commented via a spokesperson and said: “I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage.

“I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.”

A few short months later, in September, Mulaney publicly announced his rumoured relationship with US actress Olivia Munn, 41, and revealed the surprising news the two were expecting their first child during an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

They welcomed a baby boy in December.

He added in his TV interview: “I didn’t want an intervention. At that moment in time, I wanted to continue using drugs.

“Sitting here tonight, I’m so grateful to you and to everyone there for saving my life.

“You guys saved me from drugs and Olivia and this baby have helped save me from myself and this early journey out of recovery. I don’t have a joke for that.”

MAFS groom’s cruel words behind wife’s back - NEWS.com.au

A wife’s heartbreaking confession is viciously undercut by her husband who’s filmed afterwards ranting about what he really thinks. James Weir recaps.

The “shock confession” promised in the promos for Married At First Sight’s Sunday episode is a total fizzer but gets accidentally saved when the husband who’s on the receiving end of the original revelation ends up making a shock confession of his own behind his wife’s back.

“It’s the shock confession that no one saw coming — that leaves the room speechless,” the voiceover lady teases about the initial confession ahead of the commitment ceremony.

We know never to believe the voiceover lady. She’s always off the mark. Still, we’re just happy to be compensated with a better shock confession that somehow flew over the voiceover lady’s head. Ooh, and the experts also eviscerate an innocent victim tonight. This last-minute moment in the episode is like a free gift with purchase.

JAMES WEIR RECAPS:Read all the recaps here

One week into their marriage, we’re all curious to see how things have developed between Matt and Kate.

“I feel buoyant,” Matt beams. ”I find her incredibly attractive. I’m incredibly keen on her.”

Wonderful! And what about you, Kate?

“I’m just not feeling it,” she winces.

Well, it sounds like everything’s right on track.

Expert Mel Schilling steps in to explore the issue.

“Did that feel like a rejection for you?” she asks Matt, trying to coax him into saying the words “I feel rejected” so producers have a good sound bite to put in the promo.

“It did because I don’t usually get those reactions,” Matt shares. “I tend to be successful in relationships and picking up women.”

We have no doubt about this. After all, Matt has proudly told us that he walks around nightclubs handing his business cards out to hot people.

Kate sighs and tells us she’s just not feeling herself.

“I’m usually a funny person and I usually love to joke around and I love to laugh at everything,” she says.

Now, Kate, we can’t attest to this because we’ve only ever seen you acting like a wet cat. But, if you’re looking for a laugh, may we suggest your wedding photos?

Aiken takes a big long sigh and squints. “Kate, can I just point something out? You’ve been matched with a guy who finds you attractive. That’s a good thing.”

Exactly, Kate. Aiken has made an excellent point that applies to everyone: Be grateful for what you’ve been given and just sleep with any person who finds you attractive, even if you don’t like them.

And with that wisdom, both Kate and Matt decide to stay.

Next, up, Selin and Anthony. They spend most of their couch time rehashing the fight about how Anthony keeps putting his feet on the coffee table and we don’t even want to hear it.

Honestly, these petty squabbles are just getting old. We want you to talk about more substantial things — like how he wanted to go halvsies with the Macca’s receipt.

But before we can even get there, Anthony taps out and reveals he’s leaving the show to go home to his daughter. Selin’s not offended. After all, she has also chosen to leave. But of course she takes some artistic license and adds a touch of passive aggressive flair to her decision card:

Are we all ready for the shock confession fizzer? Prepare to be disappointed.

Ella and Mitch roll up to the couch and tell the experts they’ve made a big decision: after the experiment, if they still wanna stay together, Ella will move to the Gold Coast to live with Mitch.

Ella seems super excited! So the experts promptly step in to crush her spirit.

“You wouldn’t be open to moving for Ella?” sex expert Alessandra shoots Mitch a look.

He shrugs. “Probably not.”

Ouch. Well this sounds like a sensitive issue that should be worked out between the couple and the experts in privat-

“Uggghhhh babe!” Domenica calls out to Ella from the sidelines, inserting herself into the problem while flailing her arms around.

“I’m vibin’ ya, I can feel your energy and I just know, like, I dunno, like, there’s just something there that you wanna say but you’re not sayin’ it.”

By now, Aiken’s bored and decides to just run with whatever Dom’s crapping on about.

“I’m gonna give you something that perhaps you’re not gonna like,” he says to the couple while glancing at the time on his watch. “I agree with Domenica. I get a sense that there’s things going on underneath that you’re not talking about. What do you need from Mitchell that you’re not getting?”

When she ums and ahs, Aiken leans forward and death stares her. “Do you think you’re good enough for him,” he says slowly, again trying to coax these lunatics into giving a half-decent sound bite to use in the promo.

“Um … no,” Ella says softly.

We’re not entirely sure, but we think this is supposed to be the shock confession we were promised. Look, it’s a confession. But we’re not shocked. Especially when Selina and Anthony and Dion and Daniel and Matt are kinda all in the same boat with their partner’s making them feel like they’re not good enough.

Mitch breaks down, mainly to stop the experts from dragging him.

“I didn’t realise I made her feel that way,” he sobs. “I don’t want her to feel that way. It’s crazy. I just don’t think I’ve said anything or done anything to make her feel like that — so I just don’t understand that.”

Really? ‘Cause, we’d like to draw your attention to that ugly moment two weeks ago where you slapped down your wife and swore at her in public and then basically said she was just someone you had sex with.

Now Mitch is afraid the experts will wheel in a TV and do some instant replay of that old footage, so he cries harder.

“She’s enough!” he wails. “She’s enough!”

Aiken steps in and offers more keen insight by telling them they’ve simply been pretending everything was perfect when it’s not. Ah, duh. It’s called marriage.

Both decide to stay and the tears dry up the very second they’re off that couch. Mitch is fuming. In a secret direct-to-camera interview afterwards, he unleashes. He can’t believe his own wife publicly threw him under the bus, Selin-style. He was blime-fibe-eb, Tracey Jewel-style. He plans to get payback, Tex-style.

“She’s saying now that she doesn’t feel good enough,” he spits. “She’s never brought that up with me. And yet she’s bringing it up in front of all these idiots on the couch. And it made me look like the bad guy. I haven’t done anything to make her feel that way. It’s just ridiculous.”

He then tells us the cruel way he’ll punish his wife — by freezing her out, without warning.

“I will take some time off the relationship … call it there for a few days,” he stares witheringly into the camera. “And then see how I feel.”

Now *this* is an actual shock confession.

It seems perfectly reasonable. Totally not excessive. In fact, maybe he should go harder. Yeah! Wait till she’s asleep and then Veet one of her eyebrows off!

Mitch’s vengeful ways have suddenly made tonight really negative and we need to lighten the mood. Ooh, thank god — Dom and Jack are up and they’ll probably fight about the unflushed toilet again.

Jack’s still mortified that his wife publicly shamed him for the bathroom mistake and he tries hard to dance around the subject but the experts play dumb and demand the dirty details.

”She was bringing up something that, at the time, I was embarrassed about,” he explains. “There was a couple of times I did not click the button on the toilet and it did not flush properly.”

While he tries to maturely discuss the issue, Dom can’t even keep a straight face.

Jack then reveals the fight about the unflushed toilet got so bad he went and moved into a separate apartment for a few days.

Firstly, why were we never informed of this? The producers know their only job is to keep us informed about the whereabouts of all the MAFS lunatics at all times.

Secondly, we’re glad Jack got the space he needed. And because he was living by himself, he could just keep not flushing the toilet without being nagged about it.

OK, decision time. Are they gonna stay or are they gonna flush each other?

Of course they stay. Nothing unites a couple more than an unflushed toilet.

Speaking of toilets, the marriage of new couple Daniel and Jessica continues to swirl around in one.

After everyone attacked Jess at the dinner party for being mean to her husband, it’ll be great for this troubled couple to talk it out and get some professional help from the exper-

“You completely ignored him! Of course that makes him feel sh*t!” Dr Dom calls out from the sidelines again, completely uninvited. After a lot of stuttering and gasping, she blurts out “she’s got some hide!” before throwing back to the experts.

That’s the thing about Dom: She really loves launching an argument, but then she loses steam and doesn’t quite know how to land it.

A producer swoops in and locks her out in the hallway so we can all get some peace and quiet.

The experts ignore everything Dom just yelled out and allow Daniel to talk.

“Certain things throughout this past week have made me question whether Jess takes me seriously,” he says. “Or if she even likes me as a person. She said I have no balls, that I’m a little b*tch. That I (only) tick five out of her 10 boxes.”

A placid Jessica sits quietly and nods, diligently confirming that she did indeed say all those things.

“I called him a little b*tch,” she perks up. “I don’t remember saying (he has) no balls, but I remember saying ‘little b*tch’.”

“Why’d you call him a little b*tch,” John Aiken squints.

Daniel shifts uncomfortably on the sofa, silently wishing everyone would stop calling him a little b*tch.

They rehash all the events that led up to Jessica throwing the insult at her husband and we zone out because we already lived through it.

Then we snap back to attention when Jessica pulls a 180 and starts insisting that she really likes Daniel and thinks he’s a great guy. She doesn’t even pretend to dry barf while saying the words.

Huh … maybe she is a nice perso-

“I’m going to leave,” she holds up her decision card.

Well, that’s not entirely up to you, Jessica. Daniel reveals his card and decides to stay in the experiment, thus cancelling out his wife’s decision and locking them both in hell for one more week. We all chant at the TV: “Ya trapped!”

And Jessica isn’t the only one getting trapped tonight. Turns out, Selina and Cody will be hanging around another week to keep her company.

Producers have saved their couch time until the very end. Usually this is a sign that something super interesting will happen, but we’re pretty sure everyone just forgot about them.

It’s the same old stuff. Selina’s still upset about the time she asked her husband for a hug and he refused to touch her. These Sunday night commitment ceremonies are just reheated leftovers from earlier in the week.

We hear about the rejected hug and rewatch the footage of Cody ignoring Selina as she sobbed next to him at the table during the last dinner party.

This relationship is toxic. They clearly need advice from the professional exper-

“Why aren’t you trying?!” Dr Dom yells out from the sidelines, yet again.

Selina is clearly hurt and distraught about the way her husband has treated her. But in a twist, the experts refuse to offer sympathy and instead start hounding her to list all the ways in which she has contributed to the downfall of her crappy relationship.

Selina’s baffled. She says all the blame is on Cody. He has literally iced her out and refuses to touch her. Plus, there was that time he told her he’s not attracted to her. And even after all this, the woman was so desperate to impress her husband, she happily agreed to Veet his butt! SHE’S TRYING HER HARDEST, GODDAMMIT!

“How do I have my wants and needs neglected because someone can’t show any empathy?” she cries.

Schilling cuts in.

“Let’s be really clear,” she says sternly. “We’re not asking you to neglect your wants and needs at all. What we’re after here is equity. And at the moment, we’re hearing that the accountability for the problems in the relationship, Cody, you’re owning some of them. Selina, you’re not. And we’re trying to understand if that’s the reality. So it’s back to you — what is it that you’re doing that’s contributing to the trouble? Because it’s obviously on both sides, it always is.”

Selina stutters and Mel jumps in again. “How? How have you contributed to the problems?”

Selina shakes her head and tries to understand how the blame is now on her. She looks around, frantically waiting for Domenica to interrupt from the sidelines and defend her but the help never arrives. “I’m just very confused at the moment.”

It’s MAFS, hon. We’re all confused. But this showdown is particularly confusing. And just when we think it couldn’t get more confusing, Schilling starts referring to Cody as “Codes”.

The face-off isn’t over.

“You don’t sound confused,” Schilling shoots back. “You sound like you’re saying all the problems are caused by Cody. Is that right?”

After Selina’s grilling ends, it’s time for the decisions and we know exactly how they’ll go. We even predict the twist.

Of course Selina decides to leave. She knows her husband isn’t interested and she doesn’t want to be neglected any longer. It’s humiliating and heartbreaking.

And Cody?

“If I was giving advice to one of my mates in this position and I could see they were unhappy and it’s not really working, to be brutal, I’d probably say, ‘Leave, get out’,” he says. “But I weighed it up. I wrote a very shy ‘stay’.”

And just like that, they’re trapped.

We know why Cody decided to stay. We’ve seen it before on this show. The guy makes it clear he’s not interested in the girl — but he doesn’t wanna be the one to quit because he’ll look like a jerk, especially if her decision is to stay. If he was just honest, they could both be out of their misery now.

Instead, they’re trapped. And from the looks of it, they’re super enthusiastic about it:

Australia’s ’incredible’ Eurovision entrant - NEWS.com.au

The wait is finally over. The artist who will represent Australia at this year’s contest has been named, after a victory over 10 other finalists.

Australia’s entrant for the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest has been announced.

Sheldon Riley will be representing Australians with his original song Not The Same, at this year’s event, which will be held in May in Turin, Italy.

He broke down in tears on stage after discovering he beat off ten other acts to secure the prestigious spot representing Australia at the popular song contest.

“Thank you so much Australia, I’ll make you proud,” he said through tears.

Supporters were quick to commend the former The Voice contestant after winning the showdown, taking to Twitter to praise the singer and his song.

Eleven acts performed at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre for SBS’s Eurovision – Australia Decides competition on Saturday night.

This year’s finalists included duo Isaiah Firebrace and Evie Irie with When I’m With You, six-piece girl group G-NAT! ON with Bite Me, Andrew Lambrou with Electrify, Jaguar Jonze with Little Fires, Charley with I Suck At Being Lonely, Seann Miley Moore with My Body, metal quintet Voyager with Dreamer, Jude York with I Won’t Need To Dream, Sheldon Riley with Not The Same, Paulini with We Are One and TikTok Wildcard Erica Padilla with To The Bottom.

Australia’s 2021 Eurovision entrant Montaigne also returned to the stage for the event, along with Norwegian supergroup KEiiNO.

The hopes of the nation will be resting on the shoulders of Sheldon after a devastating loss in 2021.

The glitzy international singing competition returned last year – albeit to a smaller audience – after a hiatus in 2020 due to the spread of coronavirus.

However, Aussie entrant Montaigne was unable to attend in person after SBS decided not to send a delegation to the live event amid the pandemic. The ARIA award-winner, whose real name is Jessica Cerro, had to prerecord the performance of her song Technicolour – and was knocked out of the tournament before the grand final.

It marked the first time Australia hasn’t made the finale since its induction into Eurovision in 2015.

Italy’s entry, rock band Maneskin, won the tournament after scoring 524 points in the grand final and earning hosting rights for their country.

The 2022 Eurovision Song Contest will run from the 11th until the 14th of May.

Star roasted for ‘tone deaf’ Ukraine post - NEWS.com.au

John Cena is facing plenty of backlash over an “insensitive” tweet, which appeared to use the Ukraine war to promote his new superhero series.

John Cena got himself into a tub of hot water on Thursday amid the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war.

The actor-turned-wrestler, 44, seemingly used the Russian invasion of Ukraine to promote his new show Peacemaker on Twitter and sparked a major backlash.

“If I could somehow summon the powers of a real life #Peacemaker I think this would be a great time to do so,” he shamelessly tweeted about the titular DC superhero role he performs on the series amid the conflict.

The character had his screen debut in 2021’s The Suicide Squad and can be described as a brazen hero who uses violence to achieve peace at any cost.

Cena’s statement quickly went viral as his fans denounced his “insensitive” words.

Users piled on about the tweet, with one writing, “I’m just saying there is never an appropriate moment to say this, especially now.”

“Great time to hashtag your show for trending purposes … very insensitive don’t you think?” another asked.

“John, this is in poor taste. Also your character is not the good guy,” wrote one fan.

Another suggested that Cena use his own wealth and resources to help the European countries at war.

“I hope you didn’t mean to come off as disrespectful by using this to promote your show,” they wrote.

“You don’t have the powers of peacemaker but you do have the power of money and status. Please donate to help Ukraine or spread the link to donate.”

“A bit tone deaf @JohnCena. Please delete. [This is from] a conversation I’m in: Families have literally been blown to pieces in Ukraine. Meanwhile Cena, ‘I AM A COMIC BOOK ACTOR, IF MY CHARACTER WAS REAL, I WOULD STOP IT FROM HAPPENING,’ ” a fan explained.

“I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain this to you but the power of peacemaker is murdering people,” someone else then pointed out to the F9 star.

This is not the first time Cena has found himself under fire over international affairs. In May 2021, he was hit with hate for kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party while on a promotional tour for the ninth instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise. He apologised to China at the time for calling Taiwan a country and said the apology in Mandarin.

“Hi China, I’m John Cena. I’m in the middle of Fast and Furious 9 promotions. I’m doing a lot of interviews. I made a mistake in one of my interviews,” he said.

“I made one mistake. I have to say something very, very, very important now. I love and respect China and Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry about my mistake. I apologise, I apologise, I’m very sorry. You must understand that I really love, really respect China and the Chinese people. My apologies. See you​,” he continued.

Real reason Pete Davidson quit Instagram - NEWS.com.au

A source close to Pete Davidson revealed Kanye West was not behind the SNL star deleted Instagram after his public dig at the rapper.

Despite Kanye West’s assertions, Pete Davidson did not deactivate his latest Instagram account because of the rapper’s cyber-bullying.

“Pete deleted his IG because immediately after his first post he started receiving a flood of messages, both positive and negative, reminding him why he didn’t want social media to begin with,” a source close to the Saturday Night Live player shared exclusively with Page Six.

The link shared from Davidson’s account that caused fans to flood his DMs was a clip of Robert De Niro as wannabe comic Rupert Pupkin in Martin Scorses’s 1981 film The King of Comedy reciting the line, “Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime,” which many took to be a dig at West.

“(Pete) is in the middle of several big film projects and wants to continue to stay very focused on his work and the positive things happening in his life,” the source continued.

“Kanye didn’t drive Pete off social media.”

Thursday afternoon, West took to his own Instagram account bragging that he ran the stand-up off of the platform.

“Ran Skete off the gram,” West, 44, wrote. “Tell your mother I changed your name for life.”

West has been going after Davidson — whom he refers to as “Skete” — on social media for weeks in a bizarre attempt to win back estranged wife Kim Kardashian, referring to the Staten Island native as a “d**khead” and sharing private messages allegedly from Kardashian worried about her boyfriend’s safety.

The exes are still at odds over their divorce, with West recently objecting to several of Kardashian’s demands, resulting in the mother of four begging a judge to sign off on the split due to West allegedly causing “emotional distress” with his social media attacks.

Star rocks unusual cut-out dress on red carpet - NEWS.com.au

Zoe Kravitz has hit the red carpet for the London premiere of The Batman, and she gave a nod to the iconic superhero in her unusual gown.

Stars of The Batman have taken to the red carpet as part of the celebrations at the glamorous London premiere.

Robert Pattinson, 33, led the way at the glitzy screening, as he was seen looking dapper in a black turtleneck and oversized tweed blazer, The Sun reports.

The British actor linked arms with co-star, US actress Zoe Kravitz, who plays Catwoman in the highly anticipated Warner Bros film, which will be released next month.

Meanwhile, Kravitz, also 33, paid homage to the Caped Crusader in a figure-hugging black gown, with a cut-out chest piece appearing to be in the shape of bats.

Pattinson has taken over from Ben Affleck as the iconic superhero for The Batman – the latest instalment in the iconic superhero’s story.

The Batman is set to be the franchise’s longest film yet, coming in at almost three hours, and is finally due to hit Australian cinemas on March 3 after more than two years in production.

Pattinson has previously revealed how he was almost pushed to breaking point by the film’s “control freak” director Mark Reeves.

Insiders say New York-born Reeves forced the Twilight star to do upwards of 50 takes inside the bulky Batman suit, leaving him, and the crew, exhausted.

The source said: “Filming has been a gruelling process, especially for Robert, as Matt is such a perfectionist.

“He’ll insist on doing scenes over and over again and get bogged down in the tiny detail. Some­times it’s like he doesn’t know when to stop.”

Reeves directed Cloverfield in 2008, 2014’s Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes and its 2017 sequel War For The Planet Of The Apes.

The source continued: “Matt has done block­busters before, but this is another level.

“Batman is arguably the most popular superhero of all and by the time the film is released it will be the Dark Knight’s first solo movie in 10 years.

“Warner Bros can’t afford for the fanbase to be disappointed and have thrown ($168 million) at the film. No one is denying that this is a high-stakes production and that Matt is feeling the pressure to get it right.

“But Robert has had a tough time on these franchise movies before. He hated Twilight by the time it wrapped, and the last thing anyone wants is for him to become jaded.”

MAFS 2022 Episode 16 recap: Two brides face off and relationships hit breaking point at an explosive Dinner Party - 9Homes

As the honeymoons wrap up the brides and grooms get ready for one of the most dramatic Dinner Parties yet, with multiple couples' relationships in tatters.

The Honeymoons

Daniel wakes up alone after a tense night with Jess. At 1:00am the groom woke to Jess "going off" about him on the phone.

"When I confronted her, she said 'I acted like a little b---h. I've got no balls, and I'm just overreacting again'," Daniel recalls.

Jess is on the other side of the honeymoon property, and she's standing by her words, confirming that she felt Daniel was "acting like a b---h".

"When there's even the tiniest thing, he just gets really flustered by it. He's just a really sensitive person," Jess adds.

Carolina and Dion too are waking up on the final morning of their honeymoon, and Dion's spirits aren't dampened by Carolina's off-camera outburst. While Carolina sits in bed and requests an almond latte, Dion cleans, packs the suitcases and the car, gets his bride an almond latte and pronounces "happy wife, happy life".

"This morning was easy, very easy, chilled," Carolina says after waking to find everything has been done for her.

Pre-Dinner Party

The couples are preparing for another night of drinks, love and drama at the third Dinner Party, and Sam and Al are eager to share how their relationship has progressed, with the couple having consummated their marriage.

"I'm loving everything about her," Al says.

But things aren't going so well for Selin and Anthony, whose relationship has taken a dramatic turn for the worse after Anthony put his feet on the coffee table.

"I don't think I'm overreacting," Selin says, their relationship in shambles. She adds that "even him breathing" annoys her. 

Anthony cannot win... Well, at least not without suffocating.

In more news about minor issues causing dramatic scenes, on the car ride over Daniel asks the driver to "turn the aircon up" because he's "freezing". Jess corrects him, saying he means down.

"It feels like you hate me," Daniel tells her. "I feel like we're going in there as enemies to be honest."

"OK," Jess replies.

Cocktail Party

The room starts filling up. First with Selina and Cody, followed by Domenica and Jack and a rather frosty Selin and Anthony. The experts note Tamara and Brent look to be in a good place before Sam and Al walk in, loved up.

After Domenica tells Sam she's "glowing" the bride confirms to the ladies what they were all thinking.

"Yes, we have had sex," Sam says, provoking a very strong response from Domenica.

Now that is an excited Domenica. (Nine)

Al too confirms the news the boys, telling them the "the one-eyed snake got some action".

"It's not his finest moment," expert John Aiken says, watching on.

The love continues as Ella and Mitch, and Olivia and Jackson enter.

Kate and Matt then make their entrance holding hands, which surprises many of the brides and grooms.

"The wedding, he was really… a lot," Ella says.

"I'm like a puppy. I'm infatuated," Matt declares, before telling the girls how he felt his honeymoon was like being in The Notebook.

Enter Carolina and Dion, and the groom's sparkly jacket quickly becomes a talking point.

"I love the blazer," Selina tells him.

Al decides an "initiation" is in order, and takes off his shoe and pours a beer in it, before handing it to Matt to drink from. The ever wise Dion turns down the request.

Matt does not. "That was questionable," Kate says. "We're in our late 30s, we don't do shoeys."

Matt, however, is proud of the moment.

Jess and Daniel are the third couple to arrive, unexpected, as no one attended their wedding.

"First impressions was that Jess is super gorgeous," Sam says. "Daniel, first thing I thought was, 'Wow his clothes are tight'," she adds.

It quickly becomes apparent that they're not on good terms.

"We're like water and oil," Jess tells Tamara, adding that there's no way they'll ever be able to communicate.

When Daniel approaches her to offer a drink, Jess tells her husband she doesn't want white wine and walks away, leaving Domenica unimpressed.

The Dinner

While the dinner starts with a big group cheers, it quickly becomes apparent that there are a lot of tensions.

Particularly between Jess and Daniel. "We want to know how you guys are going?" Ella asks.

Jess is quick to reveal that "they can't communicate", adding, "He takes everything I say the wrong way" and that "he thinks that I'm out to get him".

Daniel can't get a word in, and both Domenica and Tamara want to unpack the situation.

It doesn't take long for Jess to reveal that she stands by her comments about Daniel being "a little b---h" during a few moments on their honeymoon.

"Are you going to give this a try?" Domenica asks Jess. "All I'm hearing from you, it literally sounds like childish behaviour."

Jess is not happy with Domenica confronting her.

"Did I miss something? Is she the fourth expert? Because apparently she is," Jess fumes to the camera. "She needs to butt the f--k out."

"For me she's an immature princess," Domenica says. "She didn't get what she wants so now she's throwing a tantrum."

Jess gets up and leaves. "I'm going block out Domenica. You know in Photoshop how you can outline and get rid of one thing. That's what I'm going to do," she says.

Later, seeing Daniel looking rejected, Domenica goes in for round two.

When Jess explains that any conversation turns into a fight, Domenica hits back. "We've all had petty s--t but that's like next level though. You've told me about an air conditioning. What is so bad that you hate the guy?"

Jess ups and leaves, before fuming. "Domenica. She tires me. She's boring. I'm done with that b---h."

In other also bad but slightly less explosive news Selina and Cody are struggling.

"This has been probably the worst week in our relationship," Cody says to Sam, Al and Brent. 

"Right now I don't know how I could give Selina what she needs in terms of that affection and additional attention. It's very against my nature.

"I don't see how we get past this. I want to, and I'm hoping to learn, but that's my concern."

Even when Selina was in tears, Cody remains cold. (Nine)

It's a painful statement for Selina to hear. "You've just voiced that you've given up," she says. "That's not a nice thing to say or think."

It brings Selina to tears, and while she cries Cody sits there drinking water. The experts note Cody "needs to do better".

"I don't think that what I'm asking for or what I need is really that hard," Selina says to the camera, still in tears.

Also in trouble are Selin and Anthony. Yes, it's the feet on the coffee table, and despite Jackson asking about the positives and negatives in their relationship, Selin doesn't have answers.

Later when Anthony confides in Selina — not to be confused with Selin — Selin overhears. "He's sitting there like his s--t don't stink. It does," Selin slams the groom.

It would have been more believable if he said feet.

"I'm giving you so much and I'm getting absolutely nothing back," Anthony exclaims loudly.

"What are you giving me? What are you doing?" Selin hits back.

"I'm giving you coffees. I'm ordering you dinner."

"You went storming down getting me McDonald's in the rain. You sent me that receipt. $16.75. You sent me your account details," Selin fumes.

It descends into chaos, with Anthony telling Selin she "doesn't have the capability for a relationship".

Late in the night Daniel and Carolina come together for a chat, with Carolina revealing that "there's not really attraction there" in her relationship with Dion.

Carolina tells Daniel that she wanted a tall man who likes to work out. "He's [Dion] never been to the gym," she says.

"If you had to point to a girl here who's more your type who could you say?" Carolina asks Daniel.

The groom points his finger at Carolina. "Don't tell that to my husband," she says.

"Sometimes it feels like the matches are interesting," Daniel adds.

"I know it can be really tough, so if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here for that," Carolina tells him.

MAFS bride Selin has accused her husband Anthony of not being a “gentleman” after he sent her his bank details following a Macca’s run.

Married At First Sight bride Selin has erupted at her TV husband Anthony during Wednesday night’s dinner party, accusing him of not being the “gentleman” he says he is – and claims she’s got the receipts to prove it.

The pair have been the experiment’s most explosive couple since the get-go, and have struggled to recover from their various fights which kicked off on their honeymoon three weeks ago.

After a redeeming week last week – which saw them bond during intimacy challenges – their union was tested yet again on tonight’s episode, with things kicking off when Selin, 32, became frustrated by Anthony, 38, putting his feet on the coffee table.

They arrived at the dinner party on frosty terms, before Anthony confided in fellow bride Selina (not to be confused with Selin) about how he “knows I’m worth more than this”.

A furious Selin overhears this conversation and spits: “Don’t sit here and say ‘I’m a gentleman, I’m this, I’m that.’ I’m sick of hearing it. Don’t f**king bullshit me.

She adds: “What are you giving me? What are you doing?!”

Anthony argues he’s been “getting you coffees” and “ordering you dinner”, before Selin drops a bombshell.

“You went storming down f**king how many kilometres getting me McDonald’s in the rain. You sent me that god damn receipt. $16.75,” she yells, as the group watches on in horror. “You sent me your account details! So don’t sit here and be a f**king man.”

A bewildered Anthony claims he “never” sent such a receipt. “I’m a genuine good person!” he says. “You don’t have the capability for a relationship. You don’t.”

Later, in a piece to camera, Anthony says he has attempted to “play nice” but he could no longer cop Selin’s treatment.

“It was like somebody opened the floodgates,” he said. “We dance around the issues and never actually talk about it.

“I don’t need to justify me as a person to anybody. I’m a good person and I believe I’m worth a lot more than Selin is offering.”

After copping the wrath from viewers earlier on in the series – when she trashed Anthony in front of the group and later refused to accept his apology for bailing on their horror honeymoon – mother-of-one Selin told Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa that viewers only see “1 per cent” of what actually happens during filming.

“I just think the viewers have got to understand they see 1 per cent of everything that has happened. That’s 1 per cent of everything,” she said.

“It was definitely a double decker bus that I threw him under. It was not nice. People were asking me what happened and I don’t think it’s a bad thing to say what happened.

“And unfortunately, I did try to have these conversations with Anthony prior (to) the dinner party, and I actually sat next to him. I don’t know if you’ve seen, but I sit next to him at the dinner party before we go on to the table, and I tried to talk to him and I got brushed off.

“So when it comes to the end of the night and I was you know, maybe a bottle of wine in unfortunately at that point, I didn’t want to listen. And yes, I could have drew a line in the sand.”

Rock’n’Grohl: Foo Fighters confirmed for March 4 show in Geelong - The Age

Dave Grohl’s chart-topping band Foo Fighters will arrive in Victoria next week for a one-night only performance at GMHBA Stadium in Geelong on Friday, March 4.

Supported by Melbourne band Amyl and the Sniffers and veteran punk rockers The Meanies, Foo Fighters will play Australia’s first full-capacity stadium show by any international band since the COVID pandemic struck in March 2020.

Tickets for the show, which will be Foo Fighters’ first in Australia since 2018, go on sale on Friday, February 25, at midday. The group will arrive in Victoria hot on the heels of this week’s cinematic release of Studio 666, a horror comedy film featuring Grohl and his fellow band members.

The concert is a partnership with the Victorian government’s Always Live music program, teaming local stars and emerging talent with some of the world’s biggest acts.

Always Live aims to feature performances of all scales and styles and was conceived by former Mushroom Group chairman Michael Gudinski, who died a year ago.

Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Martin Pakula, said 25,000 tickets would be available for the show, which he described as “a brilliant way to launch this program” across Victoria.

“Foo Fighters, in terms of the quality of that act, should give you a really good sense of what we’re trying to achieve here,” Mr Pakula said. “We’ve got a thriving local music scene that’s been battered over the last couple of years, but we’ve seen signs of its powerful re-emergence.

“I’m very excited by the fact the Foo Fighters have chosen Geelong for their one and only show of this tour. It’s going to be great for the tourism of that region, for the events scene of that region.

“This is wonderful for our local music scene, great to have big acts back in town. We hope this is just the start of what will be a wonderful year for live music, and it’s absolutely fabulous to see the great Michael Gudinski’s vision started to be brought into effect.”

Foo Fighters’ 10th album Medicine at Midnight debuted on top of the Australian charts last year and was their eighth number one album in Australia.

The band has sold more than 30 million albums since 1995’s debut, self-titled release and has won 12 Grammy awards, including best rock album four times.

Grohl played drums in Nirvana and formed Foo Fighters with bass player Nate Mendel and guitarist Pat Smear after releasing the debut Foo Fighters album, which he wrote and recorded himself.

Drummer Taylor Hawkins joined soon after the release of second album The Colour and the Shape. Chris Shiflett joined the band in 1999 and Rami Jaffee has been a touring member since 2005.

Tickets to Foo Fighters’ all-ages show on March 4 go on sale at midday (AEDT) on Friday, February 25. For tickets and more details, go to frontiertouring.com/foofighters and Ticketmaster.com.au or call 136 100.
