‘Regrets’: MAFS star makes surprise cameo - news.com.au

MAFS 2024 star Jayden Eynaud has been revealed as the brother of MAFS season nine groom Mitch Eynaud.

On Wednesday’s episode of the Channel 9 show, Jayden walked down the aisle with Eden Harper.

During preparations for the big moment, Jayden was busy trying on suits to make sure he looked suave for his big day, and he was joined by a very familiar face.

Mitch, who starred on season nine and was paired with Ella Ding, tragically left her broken hearted during final vows when he deciding he wasn’t up for the commitment.

Revealing his own regrets about the experience, Mitch shared on Wednesday night’s episode that he wishes he had “trusted” the process more.

“Very nostalgic, this. Very nostalgic,” shared Mitch. “I didn’t trust the experiment. I wish I’d trusted it now, a little bit more, and to open up and be myself. That I regret. I wish I’d poured my heart out and been more honest.”

However, Mitch doesn’t believe that the same problem with commitment runs in the family, and he went on to share his belief that his brother’s marriage will go very differently.

“But Jayden and I are very, very different. Yeah, I like it, man. I don’t necessarily have that very melty, soft side like he does. So he’s gonna go all the way. Go big, don’t wig.

“I just hope she doesn’t judge and make judgments about me,” said Jayden, hoping that his bride Eden doesn’t judge him for his brother’s mistakes.

Meanwhile following their split on the show, Jayden’s brother Mitch and his ex-partner Ella had an epic fallout that carried over onto social media. However, since then, they’ve managed to make amends.

“Mitch and I went through a f---ing crazy time and I went on platforms and I really tried to bring him down, I was upset, it was coming from a place of hurt,” Ella said last year.

“We both vented and that’s a part of healing … it’s a part of moving on … In a way it could’ve been a form of closure for both of us.”

Ella added: “It doesn’t mean that we’re best friends, it doesn’t mean we are in love … it doesn’t mean anything. It’s just two friends catching up who shared an amazing experience together, who went through a tough time and wanted to catch up.”

Handmaid's Tale star Elisabeth Moss announces pregnancy on-air | news.com.au — Australia's leading news site - news.com.au

Actress Elisabeth Moss has announced that she’s pregnant with her first child.

The Handmaid’s Tale star, 41, shared the exciting news on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night.

“Are you pregnant or just an incredibly committed method actor?” host Kimmel asked the actress as the interview began.

“A little bit of both,” the former Mad Men star replied.

Moss then went on to say she has been “really lucky” during her pregnancy journey, adding, “It’s been going really well.”

It was a notably public announcement for the infamously private star. The two-time Golden Globe winning actress, who was previously married to comedian Fred Armisen for a year before divorcing in 2011, rarely shares details of her personal life.

Back in 2022s, Moss was forced to address a rumour that had been circulating about her religious beliefs.

Moss, who was raised in the Church of Scientology, said that she can’t control how the public perceives Scientology and that she can only share her own experience.

“It’s a place that is very open to, like, welcoming in somebody who wants to learn more about it. I think that’s the thing that is probably the most misunderstood.

“People can obviously hold in their mind whatever they want to, and I can’t control that. If it’s not that, it’s going to be something else.”

Scientology has been accused of various controversial practices, including making family members cut ties with apostates and assigning troubled members to hard labour. However, the church calls the allegations “false and mischaracterized,” according to the website.

The Church has been known to claim that LGBTQ+ people can be “cured”, however, Moss has insisted previously that she doesn’t subscribe those aspects of the religion.

“Which is not where I stand. It’s like, it’s a lot to get into and unpack that I can’t do. But that is not my bag,” she said in 2019. “I can only speak to my personal experience and my personal beliefs. One of the things I believe in is freedom of speech. I believe we as humans should be able to critique things. I don’t ever want to take that away from anybody, because that actually is very important to me.

Moss continued: “At the same time, I should hope that people educate themselves for themselves and form their own opinion, as I have,” she continued.” The things that I believe in personally, for me, The Handmaid’s Tale, and the ability to do something that is artistically fulfilling but is also personally fulfilling, I’ve never had that.”

‘Miracle’: Star’s shock health update - news.com.au

Shannen Doherty has shared an incredible update about her health struggle as she continues to battle stage four cancer.

During the latest episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast, the former Charmed star, 52, shared a promising update after months of heartbreaking updates.

“I’m on a new cancer infusion and after four treatments, we didn’t really see a difference and everybody wanted me to switch,” she said in a conversation with her doctor. “I just kinda was like, ‘we’re going to keep going with this and see.’”

Doherty’s decision to stick with the treatment proved to be correct, and after numerous rounds she finally began to see a positive development that her doctors had otherwise not expected.

“After the sixth or seventh treatment, we really saw it breaking down the blood-brain barrier. Do I call that a miracle? Yeah. For me, that happens to be a miracle right now. That I sort of rolled the dice and said, ‘let’s keep going.’”

“That it’s actually breaking down that blood-brain barrier is actually a miracle of that drug, a miracle of maybe God intervening and being like, ‘I’m gonna give her a break,’” she added. “Sometimes you’re looking for miracles in all the wrong places and they’re right in front of your face.”

The 90210 star was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and after undergoing treatment was said to be in remission in 2017. Then in 2020, she received a second breast cancer diagnosis, which was Stage 4, which has since spread to her bones and brain. Doherty then underwent surgery in January 2023 to remove a brain tumour.

“I don’t want to die,” she told People in an interview released following the launch of her podcast last year.

“I’m not done with living, I’m not done with loving, I’m not done with creating, I’m not done with, hopefully changing things for the better. I’m just not done,” she added. “My greatest memory is yet to come.”

Despite undergoing a wave of tough treatments, Doherty still found the strength to launch her podcast in late November.

“I always talk about the fact that we just need to squeeze out another three to five years, and then there’s going to be T-cell therapy or there’s going to be this,” the Charmed star said. “There’s going to be a lot more options that will give another five years. Then in those five years, there’s a whole other group of options, and eventually there’s going to be a cure,” she added.

Iconic actress’ shocking career change - news.com.au

Hollywood actress Kate Hudson has released her debut single from her first ever album.

The A-list actress, best known for her roles in Knives Out and How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, has set her sights on a career as a pop star in 2024.

The song, Talk About Love, was co-written by Hudson and musical icon Linda Perry, who has previously penned hits including Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful.

It’s no surprise Hudson has decided to launch a career in music. Fans of the actress will remember her critically lauded turn in Glee, where she performed numerous hits including a viral cover of Lady Gaga’s Americano and Jennifer Lopez’s Dance Again.

Following the release of the pop banger, Hudson shared that she’s been quietly hoping to release an album ever since she was a child.

“I’ve been caught up writing and witnessing life in songs since I was a child,” Hudson said of her upcoming album, which she wrote every song for. “But it always comes down to the moment, and the ability to make sure you can be there for the music. Finally, for me, that time is now. I’m so happy to be a part of the Virgin Music family. This has been a true labour of love and to have the full support of a team that nurtures an artist’s vision has been a refreshing and inspiring experience.”

After years of contemplating the idea, Hudson shared that she finally decided to go for it after being pushed by her friend and fellow songwriter, Perry.

“How do you ever know?” she continued. “And then one day, you’re writing, and you think, ‘Now.’ Linda challenged me to write a full album once she heard me sing, and that’s when I decided to complete the song cycle. It might’ve been crazy to some, but once I committed, all the songs, the sounds, and even the way the recording process came together, the timing was right.”

As well as Glee, the Oscar nominated actress has previously showcased her vocal talents on screen in the 2009 film Nine.

Her yet to be titled debut album is due to be released worldwide later this year.

Hollywood star goes full glam in Melb - news.com.au

Hollywood actor Kate Walsh was spotted at Mebourne airport alongside her Aussie fiance Andrew Nixon, and she was looking glam.

Walsh, 56, was rocking some red sunglasses, bold pants and even a little hat as she made her way through the airport.

She looked less like she was heading off to sit on a cramped plane and far more like she was about to attend a fabulous party on a boat.

She was managing to serve Hollywood glamour while being only metres away from a baggage claim and that is no easy feat.

In contrast and in true authentic Aussie fashion, Nixon kept it casual and wore a navy blue polo, some casual pants and Birkenstocks.

The unlikely couple were in Melbourne to attend the Australian Open and have been together since 2020.

The Hollywood star met the Aussie bloke on an Antarctic cruise, fell in love and then they spent most of the pandemic tucked away together in Perth.

The two have done their best to keep their romance private but Walsh accidentally let it slip in 2021 that they were engaged.

During an Instagram Live, Walsh was chatting with her former Private Practice co-star Amy Brenneman when her boyfriend, Andrew Nixon, walked into the frame.

“Here comes the jungle cat,” she said. “That is my fiance”.

The Aussie smiled and waved at the camera as Brenneman, 58, told him: “She just 100 per cent outed your engagement”.

Walsh, whose ring could be seen during the video, then confirmed: “I did. I just outed our engagement”.

When Walsh appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she spoke more on their romance and called him an “Australian gentleman” who was very “sweet” and just simply the best.

The actor has continued to star in the Netflix hit Emily in Paris and has many upcoming projects in the works, but she put down roots in Australia and has claimed that basing herself Down Under has led to a better lifestyle.

“I feel really lucky to have a great rounded life right now. I feel like that’s one of the things living in Australia has given me a great life; I met the love of my life, and I’ve got my little old cat and little old dog down there. It’s been great to be there and have that be a place of rest and comfort, and then also just have that this just massive abundance of work, and so I feel very, really lucky,” she told The Spruce.

Pop icon sparks romance rumours - news.com.au

Avril Lavigne has sparked romance rumours after being spotted with a country music star following her latest split.

Lavigne, 39, was seen out with Nate Smith, 38, enjoying a laid-back evening in West Hollywood, and the pair appeared to be thoroughly enjoying each other’s company.

The music stars were seen sipping drinks in the back of their truck and skateboarding through the city.

Smith rose to fame in 2020 after one of his sons went viral on TikTok, leading to him being signed to a major label and releasing his debut album the following year.

Lavigne has been single for three months after splitting with rapper Tyga following an on and off romance.

Tyga and Lavigne first went public with their romance in March 2023, splitting the first time in June 2023 before rekindling their romance one month later for a brief period before eventually splitting in October.

Lavigne has had a tumultuous relationship history in recent years.

She began dating singer Mod Sun in 2021, and the pair even getting engaged the same year. Lavigne gushed about the singer during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show the following year, but in early 2023 it emerged that the pair had split.

At the time, Mod Sun said Avril’s decision to call it quits had left him “blindsided”.

The singer has been married twice before; to Sum 41 singer Derek Whibley and Nickleback lead singer Chad Kroeger.

More Coverage

Lavigne remains close with both of her ex-husbands, and has been seen dining with them numerous times since parting ways.

Meanwhile, country star Smith previously dated TV personality Savannah Chrisley, 26, but the pair broke up some time around May 2023.

Earlier this month, Lavigne announced dates for her first-ever greatest hits tour, set for 27 dates across North America with opening acts All Time Low, Simple Plan, Girlfriends and Royal & the Serpent appearing throughout the run. “Tour dates for 2024 baby! I’ll be doing the Greatest Hits from all of my albums and along with some of your favorites, perhaps some special requests?” wrote the Canadian superstar, alongside the announcement on social media. “And of course all of my friends are joining me!!!”

Taylor Swift AI images prompt US bill to tackle nonconsensual, sexual deepfakes - The Guardian

A bipartisan group of US senators introduced a bill Tuesday that would criminalize the spread of nonconsensual, sexualized images generated by artificial intelligence. The measure comes in direct response to the proliferation of pornographic AI-made images of Taylor Swift on X, formerly Twitter, in recent days.

The measure would allow victims depicted in nude or sexually explicit “digital forgeries” to seek a civil penalty against “individuals who produced or possessed the forgery with intent to distribute it” or anyone who received the material knowing it was not made with consent. Dick Durbin, the US Senate majority whip, and senators Lindsey Graham, Amy Klobuchar and Josh Hawley are behind the bill, known as the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act of 2024, or the “Defiance Act.”

“This month, fake, sexually-explicit images of Taylor Swift that were generated by artificial intelligence swept across social media platforms. Although the imagery may be fake, the harm to the victims from the distribution of sexually-explicit ‘deepfakes’ is very real,” Durbin said in a press release.

Sexualized, exaggerated images of Swift at football games went viral over the weekend on X, racking tens of millions of views, according to Twitter’s metrics. AI-made images or videos of real people, commonly known as “deepfakes,” have become increasingly common on the internet as the barrier to entry for creating them lowers, a product of the boom in artificial intelligence of recent years. Some remove a person’s clothes or superimpose a person’s face over another’s to depict them saying something they did not; some are entirely generated by AI. The images of Swift were likely made using Microsoft Designer and shared first on Telegram, 404 Media reported. Microsoft introduced changes to close the technical loophole that allowed for the creation of the images.

“Nobody – neither celebrities nor ordinary Americans – should ever have to find themselves featured in AI pornography. Innocent people have a right to defend their reputations and hold perpetrators accountable in court. This bill will make that a reality,” said Hawley.

Swifties, as the artist’s fans are known, began flooding X with tweets of the phrase “Taylor Swift AI” accompanied by clips of her performing to stymie searches for the images. Later, as bad press mounted, Elon Musk’s X took the drastic step of prohibiting all searches for Swift to contain the spread of the images. Musk laid off the majority of the employees responsible for curbing his social network’s worst impulses after he purchased the company for $44bn.

‘Immense sorrow’ as ‘beloved icon’ dies - news.com.au

Chita Rivera — the Tony Award-winning Broadway actress, singer and dancer — died at age 91 on Tuesday.

“It is with immense personal sorrow that I announce the death of the beloved Broadway icon Chita Rivera. My dear friend of over 40 years was 91,” her rep Merle Frimark said in a statement on Tuesday, per People.

Rivera’s daughter, Lisa Mordente, said in a statement her mother died in New York “after a brief illness.”

“She is also survived by her siblings Julio, Armando and Lola del Rivero, (her older sister Carmen predeceased her), along with her many nieces, nephews and friends,” the statement continued.

The family said Rivera’s funeral will “be private,” however, a memorial service “will be announced in due course.”

They have asked for any donations in her memory to be made to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Rivera’s career skyrocketed when she derived the role of Anita in West Side Story in 1957.

She then followed that role with the Broadway productions of Bye Bye Birdie — which drew her first Tony nomination — and Chicago.

She also starred in productions of Threepenny Opera, The Rose Tattoo, Born Yesterday, Sweet Charity and Kiss Me Kate.

In 1986, Rivera — who trained as a ballerina from the age of 11 — suffered a blow to her dancing career when she was injured during a car crash when a taxi collided with her vehicle in Manhattan.

Her left leg was broken in a dozen places and she had to undergo two surgeries and months of rehabilitation.

While the injury would have been career-ending for many, Rivera worked her way back into dancing nearly a year after the accident.

However, the mother of one never fully recovered.

“You’ll never see me in ballet slippers again because I don’t have my Achilles’ tendon,” she told the New York Times in 1993.

I can’t do the full stretch. But I don’t have any pain anymore. The only problem is that my leg sets off metal detectors at airports.”

More Coverage

Rivera was the recipient of the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor, awarded by then-President Barack Obama, in 2002 and she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009.

She has won two Tony Awards as Best Leading Actress in a Musical and received eight additional Tony nominations.

MAFS: Is Lucinda the kookiest bride ever? Byron Bay hippy gets her marriage celebrant to wave a 'chicken wing' - Daily Mail

By Savanna Young For Daily Mail Australia

Married At First Sight may have just debuted their most eccentric bride to date.

Lucinda Light, 43, appeared on Tuesday night's episode of the 2024 season and caused quite a stir when she met her TV 'husband' Timothy.

The Byron Bay marriage celebrant and MC is known as a free-spirited, grounded 'earth mama', while 51-year-old Timothy is a down-to-earth business owner from Melbourne.

Ahead of their wedding ceremony, Timothy showed concern that his bride would be a 'spiritual, energy type'.

He stood corrected when Lucinda invited a celebrant to begin their nuptials with a smoke ceremony, waving a white-feathered 'chicken wing' in the air to 'cleanse away any negativity'.

Timothy struggled to keep it together, while Lucinda appeared completely immersed in the smoke.

'When they were waving that chicken wing, I felt very uncomfortable,' Timothy told the cameras.

'It was a real chicken wing! I wasn't in the moment... I was thinking, "Where'd they get the chicken wing from?"

'Like, was it a sacrificial chicken or did they just find that wing?'

The businessman begged for something to fall from the sky and save him when to his surprise, an unexpected rainstorm rolled in and completely washed out the pair's special day.

Guests frantically raced inside for shelter, while one pregnant attendee almost 'had her baby' in the run for cover.

The gloomy weather, which Lucinda said made her special day even better, temporarily prevented the couple from exchanging vows.

But as the rain and clouds cleared, the ceremony recommenced with Lucinda sharing her heartfelt vows.

Her soft and caring words sparked Timothy to change his first impressions of his bride.

'You can see she's just got a great heart,' Timothy said. 

'We are definitely opposites. But Lucinda surprised me. She's a beautiful person.'

The newlyweds shared not one, but three first kisses at the altar, before walking down the aisle together as husband and wife.

'So far, so good!' a thrilled Lucinda told producers of her match. 

Married At First Sight Australia continues Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine and 9Now.

Jayden Federline, has been spotted living his best life in Hawaii | news.com.au — Australia's leading news site - news.com.au

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s youngest son, Jayden Federline, has been spotted living his best life in Hawaii.

The lifestyles of the rich and famous are always interesting but it is also fascinating to see the kind of lives their lucky offspring live.

Federline, 17, was seen being quite domestic for a teenage boy and was spotted with his girlfriend food shopping at the grocery chain Whole Foods.

You know the kind of place that you buy weirdly expensive almonds from? So, not exactly a wild hangout spot for a kid but definitely a respectable one.

Don’t panic he wasn’t being too grown-up, he was seen carrying out some ice cream, well actually sorbet which is a bit fancy but basically ice cream.

The A-list spawn was looking like a typical Gen Z teenager and was wearing a graphic T-shirt that was a slightly oversized fit. Meanwhile, his girlfriend was in the Gen Z uniform of baggy track pants paired with a tiny top, and they looked adorable together.

Spears has clearly raised her son right because he was spotted opening the door for his girlfriend and carrying the grocery bags.

The teenager only relocated to Hawaii last year alongside his older brother Jayden, his dad Kevin, and his stepmum.

Even though his mum is one of the world’s biggest popstars, the youngest Spears has managed to live a pretty normal life, and not much is known about him.

In March 2022, Spears did post that her youngest son had inherited her musical talent and said he was very talented at piano.

She wrote that his gifts “scare” her, and he can play jazz and pretty much anything on the piano.

“We watched Green Book and he sat down and immediately started playing the blues,” she gushed.

The youngest, Federline, primarily resides with his dad, and not much is known about his relationship with his famous mum, but neither he nor his older brother Sean attended her wedding to Sam Asghari in 2022.

More Coverage

Jayden later told The Daily Mail they didn’t think it was a “good” time to attend the wedding and opted out.

“I’m not saying that I’m not happy for her. I’m really happy for them, but she didn’t invite the whole family, and then if it was just going to be me and Sean Preston, I don’t see how that situation would have ended on good terms,” he clarified.

In August 2023, Asghari filed for divorce from Spears, citing irreconcilable differences.

Married At First Sight's 2024 season premiere may have blitzed the competition in the ratings war on Monday night. 

But not all viewers were pleased with the return of Australia's most controversial television event. 

During the very first episode, fans watched on in shock as Tim's best man delivered an X-rated speech at his wedding before Sara walked away from her TV husband during their honeymoon.

Following the blockbuster episode, critics took to social media to slam Channel Nine for once again airing controversial storylines this year, with some even calling for the show to be cancelled. 

'I don't want to see any of it, hence I don't watch it. Can't wait for the day this show is canned!' one user wrote on Facebook. 

'Disgusting show,' another added, as someone else wrote: 'Turned it off after 30 minutes.' 

Despite the backlash, Married At First Sight emerged as the clear winner of Monday night's ratings battle.

The Nine hit dominated on the night, beating Seven's Australian Idol debut and Ten's two-hour premiere of Australian Survivor with a whopping 1.252 million viewers nationally. 

Australian Idol ranked second, pulling in a modest national audience of 787,000.

Survivor meanwhile trailed behind with a total audience of 572,000.

The ratings report also indicates the Total TV National Reach, which is determined by dividing the amount of individuals watching divided by the duration of the show.

According to this ranking, Married At First Sight scored a whopping 2.451 million total reach. 

Australian Idol scored 1.784 million, while Australian Survivor pulled in 1.126 million.

Peaky Blinders star Paul Anderson caught with crack cocaine - news.com.au

The man who plays Peaky Blinders character Arthur Shelby has been caught with crack cocaine at a “boozy” Boxing Day “pub session”.

Paul Anderson, who plays Tommy Shelby’s brother in the hit show, was arrested after cops were called out to a pub in Camden, London at around 6.30pm on December 26.

The actor, 48, who features alongside Cillian Murphy in the popular BBC drama, appeared before Highbury Magistrates’ Court on January 25.

He admitted to possessing the Class A drug, as well as class B amphetamines and two class C prescription substances.

The Peaky Blinders legend was found with crack cocaine, amphetamines, Diazepam, and Pregabalin, according to the indictment.

A spokesman from the Met Police said: “Police were called at about 18:30hrs on 26 December 2023 to West End Lane in Camden.

“Officers attended and arrested a man.

“Paul Anderson, 48, of West Hampstead, was later charged with two counts of possession of Class A drugs and two counts of possession of Class C drugs.

“He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 25 January.”

Anderson was allegedly caught after a fellow pub drinker smelled crack cocaine fumes.

His defence lawyer told the court he had found himself in an “unfortunate position” and had “tried to play up” to his character, MailOnline reports.

Anderson, who also featured alongside Tom Hardy in the Kray twins biopic Legend, was fined about $2500 (£1,345).

‘Huge problems’

It is understood the conviction could now cause “huge problems” for a follow up Peaky Blinders film, currently being written by screenwriter Steven Knight.

A source told MailOnline it could have a “significant impact” on the feature-length sequel.

The sources says the conviction will make it difficult to “reprise the role” of Arthur Shelby despite him being a “pivotal character”.

“The third option would be to cancel the entire thing,” they added.

Knight previously told fans the spin-off movie should be “in cinemas by Spring 2024”.

More Coverage

It hasn’t been entirely clear what the film will be about, but Knight previously said the film will incorporate real-life stories from World War II that are tied to the titular group.

“I’ve had this in mind for quite a while now, a story with the Peakys during the Second World War and I’ve picked up three true stories that I’m integrating into the film,” Knight confirmed.

The Sun Online contacted Paul Anderson’s representative for comment.
