Alarming sign in A-list marriage emerges - news.com.au

If Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez can’t make it work in a house with 17 bathrooms, none of us can.

Ben and Jennifer are plagued with break-up rumours, and it is reported that Ben, who has a resting, grumpy man face, is living separately.

Things might not be going well, but the couple owns an $86 million Hollywood mansion. It has four kitchens, 17 bathrooms, and 10 bedrooms.

You can’t say the couple didn’t have space.

We’ve all heard the theory that separate bathrooms can make or break a marriage. Sometimes, the bare minimum of privacy can be the secret to romance.

Psychologist Carly Dober said the theory is accurate and not just one of those things someone preaches after three glasses of wine at a girl’s night.

She stressed that everyone is “different” but said that some couples can benefit from separate bathrooms.

“I think if small shifts such as separate bathrooms add to the quality of their relationship then go for it,” she advised.

Well, Jennifer and Ben had 17 toileting options and so much space that they could have housed multiple families, which they do kind of need.

Ben has three kids with his ex-Jennifer Garner, and Jennifer has her teenage twins, which she shares with her ex Marc Anthony.

All that shared space aside – I mean, they don’t even have to share a fridge and be confronted with how your partner thinks it is appropriate to glad-wrap something.

Still things aren’t looking good.

At this point, it is hard to know what is true.

Sure, Jennifer attended the Met Gala alone, but she was seen at Ben’s eldest daughter Violet’s graduation party as recently as this week, so who knows?

The two haven’t commented on the break-up rumours, which is sort of typical. They are A-listers, not people on TikTok who insist on making videos about their boring days. However, they also haven’t denied the reports that Ben has flown the coop.

So what is going on? Someone call Tracy Grimshaw; she’d get to the bottom of this with a fast-paced cameraman at her side.

It’ll be depressing if they break up.

The great Ben and Jennifer love story is one for the history books — or, if you’re Jennifer Lopez, one for your documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

It is a must-watch; Jennifer prepares for her new album while waxing lyrical about Ben, and Ben wanders around looking uncomfortable and confused.

At one point, Jennifer shows a bunch of random musicians private love letters that Ben sent her to inspire them. Ben looks perplexed.

He likely made the mistake of thinking that just because he addressed them to Jennifer, they were private.

He needs to grow up and face the fact that he married a diva who will milk her personal life for a sick dance track that people can dance to.

Anyway, we all know the story: they got together in 2002, got engaged, called off the wedding in 2004, and rekindled their romance in 2021, right after Ben had given some very flattering quotes about Jennifer for an Instyle profile.

“She remains, to this day, the hardest-working person I’ve come across in this business. She has great talent, but she has also worked very hard for her success, and I’m so happy for her that she seems, at long last, to be getting the credit she deserves,” he said.

Naturally, they were back together by the end of the year and married in 2022. I mean, how could she refuse? He called her a great talent.

All of this is to say, if Ben and Jennifer end up announcing they’ve broken up, well, the greatest love story never told, that has never been much told, might not be that great of a romance at all!

If you can’t stay together, even when you’re not sharing a bathroom. Well, how in love were you really?

A-listers’ daughter hits the red carpet - news.com.au

Angelina Jolie and her daughter Vivienne attended the opening night of Reefer Madness: The Musical in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 15-year-old rocked the red carpet in a black vest, matching wide-legged pants and Converse sneakers.

Her mum sported a black suit and sunglasses, completing her look with a white graphic tee depicting a tie, reports Page Six.

The mother-daughter pair posed for photos with Kristen Bell, who starred in the 2005 movie adaptation of the 1998 stage musical and also appears in the new 25th anniversary revival.

Jolie’s outing with Vivienne comes on the heels of the teen and her older sibling Shiloh both dropping their dad Brad Pitt’s last name.

Vivienne, who was born Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, made headlines Sunday for going by Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill for The Outsiders on Broadway, on which she worked as a production assistant.

Just one day later, Shiloh, who also was born with the last name Jolie-Pitt, filed court documents on her 18th birthday to legally drop her father’s moniker.

A judge has yet to grant the request.

Notably, Vivienne and Shiloh’s 19-year-old sister, Zahara, called herself “Zahara Marley Jolie” while shouting her name at an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority induction ceremony in November 2023.

Jolie, 48, and Pitt, 60, are also the parents of Vivienne’s twin brother, Knox, as well as sons Maddox, 22, and Pax, 20.

Their eldest reportedly only uses the Fight Club star’s last name in legal documents.

The Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-stars split in 2016 and were declared legally single three years later — but are still embroiled in a contentious legal battle.

Jolie told Vogue in September 2023 that she and her children had “a lot of healing to do” after the divorce.

The little ones were present during the infamous plane incident in 2016 that led to Jolie and Pitt’s separation after 12 years together.

The actress alleged in an FBI report, released in 2022, that her then-husband had “pushed” her, ran “toward [one of their kids] like he was going to attack” and damaged the aircraft with spilled wine and beer.

A source close to Pitt told Page Six at the time that Jolie’s claims were “completely untrue.”

Pitt opened up about his sobriety journey in 2017, confessing to GQ Style that he was “really, really happy to be done with … running from feelings.”

Pitt is currently dating Ines de Ramon, with the couple reportedly moving in together earlier this year.

Will, Jada’s surprise move after shock split - news.com.au

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are each other’s ride or die.

The couple looked cozy at the Los Angeles premiere of Bad Boys: Ride or Die on Thursday evening as they made their first joint red carpet appearance since the revelation that they have been separated for seven years.

Smith, 55, smiled as he and his wife of 26 years leaned in toward one another while posing for cameras, reports Page Six.

The actor, who stars in the fourth instalment of the Bad Boys franchise with Martin Lawrence, wore an all-black ensemble that included a floral-patterned blazer and fitted beanie. He accessorised with black-rimmed shades and a thick woven chain necklace.

Pinkett Smith, 52, appeared proud to be standing by his side in a semi-sheer dress that featured a wavy black pattern throughout.

The couple were accompanied by their children, Willow Smith and Jaden Smith, as well as Will’s son Trey, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino.

Jada’s mum, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, also walked the premiere carpet at the TLC Theatre.

While Thursday evening marked Will and Jada’s first joint public appearance following her shocking revelation in October 2023, the former Red Table Talk host supported her husband at the Dubai premiere of Bad Boys: Ride or Die on May 22.

The pair did not pose on the carpet together, but the Girls Trip star documented the outing on social media by sharing photos of herself in a black-and-white Iris van Herpen gown.

Jada shocked fans last fall when she shared that they have been living separately for years while promoting her memoir, Worthy.

“We’re still figuring it out,” she told People at the time. “We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just got deep love for each other, and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”

She had previously confirmed they were privately separated during her infamous “entanglement” with singer August Alsina.

In December 2023, the author revealed Will’s notorious 2022 Oscars slap saved their union.

“After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him,” she told the Daily Mail.

“I call it the ‘holy slap’ now because so many positive things came after it.”

The longtime couple has been married since 1997.

‘Fatal’ fears for King Charles after Trooping the Colour announcement - Sky News Australia

Fresh concerns about King Charles’s health have been raised after a major change to the annual Trooping the Colour celebrations set for next month.

The yearly military parade to mark the British sovereign’s official birthday has been celebrated since the reign of King George II in 1748.

However, King Charles’ actual birthday is November 14, when he has a more private function with family and close friends.

On Thursday, British media outlets were briefed that Charles will participate in his annual birthday parade on June 15 as usual but will travel via a carriage rather than on horseback.

Last year Charles attended his inaugural Trooping the Colour as king on horseback, the first time the monarch had ridden at the ceremony since his mother Queen Elizabeth last did so in 1986.

Royal editor for British broadcaster ITV Chris Ship said the change was “on the advice” of the monarch’s doctors amid his cancer battle.

“It’s an adaptation made on the advice of his doctors,” he revealed via Twitter.

Another commenter pointed out that riding a horse would be too risky to the monarch while he is undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

“Chemo can make you at risk to falls and bone breaks. Falling off a horse onto concrete would be fatal,” they wrote.

The announcement was a sober reminder of the 75-year-old King’s health despite his efforts to return to royal duties amid his cancer battle.

Other royal commenters said the change was not newsworthy and pointed out that Queen Elizabeth II began using a carriage at the age of 60.

“Not sure why this is news. The Late Queen was in a carriage from age 60. He is 75 and has had cancer,” they wrote.

The update comes after Kensington Palace confirmed Princess Catherine will not be present at all during the annual parade or balcony appearance.

Lieutenant General James Bucknall will step in to fulfil Princess Catherine's usual role as Inspecting Officer and take the salute.

Princess Catherine, who is also undergoing cancer treatment, was named Colonel of the Irish Guards in late 2022, taking over from her husband Prince William.

Gina Rinehart gifts portrait to National Portrait Gallery, but places conditions on hanging it, Senate estimates hears - ABC News

Australia's richest woman Gina Rinehart gifted a new portrait of herself to the National Gallery. (Supplied: Hancock Prospecting)

Mining magnate Gina Rinehart has gifted a portrait of herself to be hung at the National Portrait Gallery, Senate estimates has heard.

Gallery director Bree Pickering told a hearing today a portrait by artist Alex Korte was gifted by Ms Rinehart and accepted by the gallery's board.

But the work is not hanging in the gallery, as Ms Rinehart has attached conditions relating to how it should be displayed.

"Those conditions are currently under negotiation, but because of those conditions we haven't been able to formally accept and accession the work into the collection," Ms Pickering said.

Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young asked Ms Pickering if Ms Rinehart was happy with the newly gifted portrait, after it was previously revealed a request had been made to have a different painting of her removed from the National Gallery of Australia.

"The gift came from her, so she's quite happy with it," Ms Pickering replied

Ms Pickering confirmed Ms Rinehart wanted the portrait to be hung in a particular way.

The National Portrait Gallery told the ABC it was unable to send a copy of Ms Korte's artwork.

Her husband, Gary Korte, is the Chief Executive Officer of Ms Rinehart's mining company Hancock Prospecting.

Yesterday, Ms Rinehart topped the Australian Financial Review's list as the richest person in Australia for the fifth year in a row, with the publication listing her wealth at $40.61 billion.

Portrait controversy boosts visitor numbers

Earlier this month, it emerged that the nearby National Gallery of Australia had received multiple requests to remove a portrait of Ms Rinehart, which formed part of an exhibition by Archibald Prize winning artist Vincent Namatjira.

Swimming Queensland confirmed at the time it was the source of one of the complaints, calling the portrait "offensive" and "unflattering".

The exhibition, titled Australia In Colour, features the portrait of Ms Rinehart alongside prominent figures such as Cathy Freeman, Adam Goodes, Scott Morrison, Julia Gillard, King Charles and many more.

It was curated for the Art Gallery of South Australia, which showed it for months last year.

That gallery had previously told the ABC it received no complaints about the portrait.

Mr Namatjira has defended his work, saying "he paints the world as he sees it".

The National Gallery of Australia's Dr Nick Mitzevich said vistor numbers have been up following the media reports.(Foreign Correspondent: Greg Nelson ACS)

Today in Senate estimates, Director of the National Gallery of Australia Nick Mitzevich confirmed the gallery had received eight requests to remove the work.

However Mr Mitzevich refused to confirm if Ms Rinehart herself made any of the complaints, telling the hearing the gallery did not reveal personal details about those who provided feedback.

"We don't disclose, for privacy reasons, the identity of anyone who's providing feedback to the national gallery," Mr Mitzevich said.

In addition to the eight requests, Mr Mitzevich said the gallery received 125 pieces of feedback about the Vincent Namatjira exhibition, 74 of which were positive, four neutral and 47 negative.

Mr Mitzevich also confirmed that visitor numbers to the gallery and to see the Vincent Namatjira exhibition increased dramatically following media reports about the requests to remove Ms Rinehart's portrait.

"Since the story was published on the Vincent Namatjira exhibition visitor numbers have increased 24 per cent," he said.

Star’s shady remarks about Costner - news.com.au

If you build it, he will come.

Field of Dreams star Gaby Hoffmann, 42, who was a child actress when the 1989 modern classic sports flick came out, didn’t have kind words about her on-screen dad, Kevin Costner, 69.

In an interview with Business Insider published Thursday, Hoffmann, also known for Transparent, said there was a lot of “paternal energy” on that set, but she noted, “I didn’t feel paternal energy from Kevin Costner. We’ll leave it at that.”

The movie was based on the 1982 novel “Shoeless Joe” by W. P. Kinsella. The late Ray Liotta starred as Shoeless Joe Jackson. Costner co-starred as the farmer Ray Kinsella, who builds a baseball field that attracts ghosts who play baseball. Hoffmann played Ray’s daughter. She was 6 at the time.

Unlike Costner, Hoffmann had a lot of praise for Liotta, who died at 67 in 2022 of pulmonary oedema and acute heart failure.

“I just absolutely loved Ray. I was convinced he was in love with me, too, which, of course, he wasn’t, but he was just such a sweetheart,” she said. “I didn’t have a dad growing up, and there were just so many wonderful men on that set.”

She continued, “Ray Liotta and, actually, all the baseball players, I would sit around and play cards with them and play catch with them,” Hoffman continued. “I sort of jokingly said I had a big crush on him, but I think I was really drawn to a kind of fatherly, protective energy that he had in spades. What a beautiful actor he was, too.”

Although Hoffmann deemed Costner to not have “paternal energy,” he has seven kids.

He has three children — Annie, 40, Lily, 37, and Joe, 36 — with ex-wife Cindy Silva. He has a son, Liam, 26, with Bridget Rooney.

He has three younger children — Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 13 — with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, whom he divorced in February after a messy split.

On-screen, Costner is also “paternal” in his most recent role, as patriarch John Dutton on the hit ranch drama Yellowstone. John is the father to adult children Kayce (Luke Grimes), Jamie (Wes Bentley) and Beth (Kelly Reilly), plus his son-in-law and Beth’s husband, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).

Costner, whose epic western movie Horizon has gotten slammed by critics, has started speaking out about the behind-the-scenes drama on Yellowstone.

The “Waterworld” star told GQ about the show’s filming schedule, “We very rarely started when we said we would, and we didn’t finish when we said we would.

“And I was OK with that. I really was. I was OK with it, but it wasn’t a trend that could continue for me.”

More Coverage

He felt like he was missing out on other opportunities to work and said he couldn’t set a schedule for Horizon, which he stars in, directed and co-wrote.

The Dances With Wolves star and director said he was still willing to work with Yellowstone to find solutions, but “the scripts never came. They still haven’t shot it. As far as I know. The scripts never came. And so then at one point they said to me that we don’t have an ending or anything.”

Charles’ new Harry tactic: ‘End of tether’ - news.com.au

King Charles has reportedly reached “the end of his tether” with his youngest son after years of enduring a public rift.

The King and Prince Harry have been at odds since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s departure from official duties – and the UK – in favour of a more private life in California back in 2020.

Since then, the couple have lifted the lid on their gripes with the royal institution, as well as Harry’s family, which caused huge issues between them and Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales.

While it’s been widely reported that the King remains open to reuniting with his son, and the pair has since shared sporadic communication and a brief in-person meeting in February, he’s fed up with Harry’s refusal to compromise, according to the UK’s Mirror.

“Charles feels he has made huge effort to repair his relationship with his son, but that Harry refuses to give an inch. With that in mind Charles is changing his tactics,” royal author Tom Quinn told the publication.

“The new plan is to take a harder line with Harry; a move from good cop to bad cop, but palace insiders agree that Charles is at the end of his tether. He wants to be reconciled with his son, but nothing he does seems to work.”

He added that the “underlying” issue could stem from Harry’s childhood.

“One underlying problem is that Harry was never really that close to his father as a child – looked after by staff and shunted between Diana and Charles, Harry has always looked lost and forgotten and it’s too late now for his father to do anything about it,” Quinn explained.

Last week, the UK’s Telegraph reported that Harry rejected an invitation from the King to stay at a royal residence during his brief visit to the UK.

The duke’s three-day return to his home country for Invictus Games events generated plenty of headlines earlier this month – with a particular focus on whether or not he would be catching up with his father.

In a bid to quash speculation, Harry’s spokesman released a statement at the time, confirming that he had requested a meeting with the King, but had been turned down as his week’s schedule was “full”.

According to the Telegraph, the US-based duke had actually been offered accommodation at an undisclosed royal lodging, but turned it down due to security concerns.

The publication reports that the visibility of the entrance and exit on the royal property without police protection caused an issue for Harry, who instead opted to stay at a hotel, which allowed more privacy.

However, had he taken up his father’s offer, the pair’s long-awaited catch-up may have been more easily scheduled.

It was also recently reported that Harry was left devastated by his father declining the invitation to meet up, especially as “everyone knew the real reason”.

While outwardly diplomatic, his statement made it clear that it was the King who had been either unable or unwilling to alter his schedule to see his son, with whom the relationship has been heavily strained in recent years.

Harry had privately found the public snub “painful”, it was later claimed.

“He was deeply shocked at his father’s blunt refusal to see him even for a moment,” Quinn told the UK’s Mirror.

“This time the rejection was particularly painful because it was so public – Harry may have issued a statement saying he completely understood why his father didn’t have time to see him, but everyone knows the real reason had nothing to do with busy schedules.”

Within days of Harry departing the UK, a report emerged that the King had avoided the meet up in order to dodge “the drama” associated with his youngest son.

“He doesn’t need the drama in his life,” the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden claimed a source close to the King told him.

“Harry and Meghan have brought him, and the rest of the family, nothing but worries over the past few years.”

Netflix star reveals disturbing fan encounter - news.com.au

Gaten Matarazzo has had some fan interactions at conventions that have been “a little uncomfortable,” and this one seems to take the cake.

On a recent episode of the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast, the 21-year-old Stranger Things star dished on meeting a mum who claimed she’s had a crush on him since he was a startlingly young age.

“I did one very recently — and this is not very funny, but the reactions around it were quite funny — where this woman in her 40s said straight up, ‘I’ve had a crush on you since you were 13,’” he shared. “And I was like, ‘That’s upsetting.’ I’m sure she just meant, ‘Aw, this kid’s cute.’”

Earlier on in the podcast, Matarazzo said he was 12 when he booked Stranger Things, and 13 by the time season one debuted in July 2016. When it came to his interaction with his admiring older fan, things got — in the name of his hit Netflix show — stranger, as he told host Michael Rosenbaum that the woman “doubled down.”

“Like, ‘I’m aware of the age difference.’ And then I was like, ‘Alright,’” he recalled. “And her daughter was with her, and her daughter goes, ‘Mum, what the f**k?’ I swear to God, this girl must have been like 13.”

Later on, Matarazzo revealed that he’s even “had a few butt grabs” from fans over the course of his career.

Nonetheless, in other more exciting and less uncomfortable news, Stranger Things finally kicked off production on its fifth and final season as of Jan. 8, per Netflix’s Tudum. According to the streamer, co-creator Ross Duffer has been posting pics on his Instagram to satiate fans’ anticipation as they await further details on season five.

Series star David Harbour teased on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast in August 2023 that he was “excited to wrap [the show] up in a bold, amazing way.” While he hadn’t read the script at the time, he claimed he knew “where [they] net out,” noting that “it’s very, very moving.”

Baker Boy portrait by Matt Adnate wins packing room prize as Archibald finalists revealed - 9News

A portrait of Indigenous rapper Baker Boy painted by Victorian street artist Matt Adnate has won the famed packing room prize in this year's Archibald prize.

The prize, valued at $3000, is decided upon by the Art Gallery of NSW staff who unpack and hang the Archibald entries.

Adnate said he met Baker Boy - real name Danzal Baker - over a decade ago and was awed by his talent as a dancer, performer and artist.

The pair previously collaborated on Baker's Aria award-winning album Gela in 2021 with Adnate creating the cover art.

"With this portrait, I aimed to encapsulate the journey of my dear friend Baker Boy from his roots as a young Indigenous performer from Arnhem Land to the music icon he has become today," Adnate said in a statement.

"Our connection has spanned over a decade, with me painting him on multiple murals and canvases, and him performing at my events."

Blake Lively’s ‘remarkable’ prank on co-star - news.com.au

Penn Badgley has revealed a “remarkable prank” pulled on him by Blake Lively — one so “impressive” that several people, including his “team of representatives” and his own mother, were involved.

The You star shared the story about how he was led to believe US musician Steven Tyler was his real father on an episode of his Podcrushed podcast prior to welcoming fellow prankster B.J. Novak onto the show.

“I get an email, ‘Oh, there’s this press item we’re trying to kill, but just so you know, somebody thinks he’s your dad’,” Badgley revealed.

“I don’t remember the phrasing, but I just remember … [I] didn’t even think about it for a moment because who would in their right mind think that that’s true?”

He noted that his publicist followed up a few days later to warn him that the rumour wasn’t “going away,” and he was told that “Steven believes it.”

At that point, Badgley was “still not remotely thinking that it’s true,” but then received a call from his manager and publicist, who claimed that Tyler was “adamant now.”

“At this point, I of course don’t think it’s true, but I’m just like, how can Steven Tyler believe this?” he recalled thinking.

Eventually, his Gossip Girl co-star Lively proposed that he call his mother for her intel.

“And my mum is so not an actress,” Badgley shared.

“So not a prankster, either. And she’s upset. And I’m like, ‘Mum, why are you upset?’ And then she takes a pause that is like, you know, the pause that sold me. And she goes, ‘Why do you think we moved out of Maryland?’”

Badgley admitted that “for something like five to seven seconds, [he] was speechless and [his] world was rearranging.”

“I was like, ‘Are you f**king kidding me? I am Steven Tyler’s son?’” he said.

However, he ultimately figured out what day the whole ruse was taking place: April Fool’s Day.

Plus, he said that Lively “couldn’t keep a straight face.”

While Badgley may not be one of the Sweet Emotion singer’s kin, Tyler is a father of four: Liv, Mia, Chelsea, and Taj, per People.

James Packer photos you need to see - news.com.au

Australian billionaire James Packer, or as I like to think of him, Mariah Carey’s ex-boyfriend, was spotted leaving a London hotel looking rich person casual.

Packer, 56, was wearing a man’s official uniform when he is told to dress up a bit nice for a meal at the bowling club.

He wore loose-fitting jeans, a navy jumper, and some sensible walking shoes. Yes, he’s a billionaire probably on his way to somewhere very fancy, but he is also dressed in what someone’s dad would wear to attend the local meat raffle.

The footwear was a standout moment because Packer very sensibly chose arch support over aesthetics.

Instead of rocking some Gucci shoes, which super-rich men tend to choose as standard attire, he went for a pair of shoes that your mum definitely would have tried to make you wear in high school after a podiatrist diagnosed you with flat feet.

The look was a vibe; only truly rich people get to prance around looking that casual because they don’t feel any pressure whatsoever to impress anyone.

He might have looked low-key, but he was getting into a chauffeur-driven Range Rover and hanging out with Water Polo star Martin Pepa.

He was being quite ritzy in Europe.

Packer is pretty private, but in February this year, he gave a revealing interview to The Nightly in which he shared that he was debt-free and thriving.

He said he felt much more “relaxed” these days but revealed why he planned to spend more time in London.

Mr Packer said that his second ex-wife, Erica Baxter, and their three children, Indigo, 14, Jackson, 13, and Emmanuelle, 10, reside in the UK.

“I’m not as good as a father as I should be. I don’t spend as much time with my kids as I should,” he said.

He explained that despite separating from Erica in 2013 and breaking up with his former wife, fashion designer Jodhi Meares, in 2002 after a two-year marriage, it was a great “source of real happiness” that he’d remained close with both of them.

More Coverage

“I’m very, very lucky that I’ve been married twice, and I’m exceptionally close to Erica and Jodhi,” he told the publication.

Packer also went one step further and revealed he was seeing someone new and was feeling positive about the idea of falling in love again.

“I hope so,” he said.

Fergie’s ‘message’ to Harry and Charles - news.com.au

Sarah ‘Fergie’ Feguson has appeared to weigh in on the long-running feud between Prince Harry & Meghan Markle and the rest of the royal family.

The 64-year-old told of the importance of family members supporting one another while attending the 2024 amFar Gala in Cannes.

In an interview with People Magazine, she claimed that the key to maintaining a close-knit family unit is “forgiveness”.

“I think family unity is key … I think the key to life is that we all support each other,” she said. “And also forgiveness is a great thing. I think forgiveness of yourself and forgiveness of others.”

She shared the seminiment after being asked about how she has been helping to support Kate Middleton and King Charles in their cancer battles.

In response to Fergie’s remarks, royal expert Tom Quinn suggested to The Mirror that they were a “clear” reference to the ongoing rift in the family.

He went on to add: “But the Duchess has her own well-publicised family difficulties to deal with – she has never stopped trying to persuade the senior royals to rehabilitate her former husband Prince Andrew and when she talked about unity and the need for forgiveness, she no doubt also had her husband in mind.”

Ferguson, who is the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, is mother to Princess Beatrice, 35, and Princess Eugenie, 33, as well as grandmother to Sienna, August and Ernest.

“Becoming a grandmother has really changed my outlook on life,” she recently revealed while in Melbourne at the Global Citizen Summit.

“I have always loved nature and the great outdoors, but now I find myself reflecting on what sort of world we are going to leave to our grandchildren’s generation.

More Coverage

“Let’s be honest, it doesn’t look great, does it? So far, my generation has failed to take the big decisions necessary to safeguard the future of the planet, to the point that scientists are telling us the changes we are seeing to our climate and biodiversity are becoming irreversible.

“I really hope we can take global, concerted action to change things. We have a responsibility to do so. That’s one of the issues I hope to be talking about at the Global Citizen NOW summit in Melbourne.”

“I want to empower girls and women around the world,” Ferguson explained. “The mother-daughter relationship is at the heart of that. In countries where women haven’t been educated, we want them to fight for their daughters to have the chances that they didn’t.

A-list husband ‘controls’ wife’s phone - news.com.au

Lily Allen has revealed that her husband has full and total control of her smartphone.

The singer told The Sunday Times in a recent interview that she uses a phone designed for kids because she’s not the biggest fan of technology.

As a result, the phone in question needs a designated “caregiver” to approve what is allowed on it.

Allen revealed that the person who controls what she installs isn’t her, but in fact, her husband, actor David Harbour.

“I now have a kids’ phone called Pinwheel. It has no browsing capability and no social media, but you can still have Uber and Spotify,” she told the Sunday Times.

“My husband is the caregiver on it, so he controls what I’m allowed to have as an app on my phone.”

She shared that the phone even requires them to be listed as each other’s parents.

“Because they’re made for kids, he’s [listed as] my parent and I’m his parent.‘ What’s your child’s name? David, aged 50,’” she joked.

Allen went on to explain why she had made the decision to use a phone designed for kids, rather than a regular smartphone.

“The creative side of my brain has been ruined by smartphones. I feel like everyone feels the same,” she said.

“I don’t know anyone who could possibly say that the quality of their life is improved by the presence of a smartphone. I think it’s destroyed us as a species. It’s horrendous that they’re designed to be so addictive. Some of us have more addictive personalities than others. It’s evil.”

More Coverage

“I don’t think, as human beings, that you’re meant to share ideas and for them to be set in stone,” she continued.

“We are meant to evolve as people. How are you meant to do that if you’re always held to account by things that you’ve said in the past?

“I said that 20 years ago when I was a completely different person, hadn’t been married, didn’t have children. Of course, I had a different outlook on life. Don’t hold me to that.”

Laroi leaks texts after axing shows - news.com.au

Australian rapper Kid Laroi has leaked texts from his doctor after he was forced to axe numerous shows due to sickness.

The star took to Instagram to share screenshots of his team’s discussion about whether he could perform shows in LA, Phoenix and Denver.

“It absolutely kills me to say this but unfortunately this morning I woke up feeling like complete s**t and tested positive for COVID along with a bunch of crew members,” he wrote.

“I’ve tried everything in my power to make this show happen tonight and asked if there was a way we could do the show safely and I would push through.”

He then shared screenshots of his manager’s conversation with a doctor, who urged the star not to take to the stage.

“Do you think he should do the show? Can you get the people to juice him up to do the show?” the team member wrote.

“Nope,” the doctor replied. He is sick as a dog. It will not go well and it will look BAD. And his voice is trashed. You will get a short term, but potentially bad for the next two weeks.”

The Kid’s post continued: “I was strongly advised by my doctor to not do so for not only the safety of you guys but also because of the long term damage it could cause to my voice.”

It’s not the first time the rapper has cancelled or delayed shows.

Last December, the ARIA winner was due to kick off his The First Time Tour in February, where he was scheduled to perform in Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and the Gold Coast, but he ended up pushing the shows back until October 2024.

“Hi guys. We’ve had to push back the Australian leg of the tour to October,” he wrote on Instagram Stories overnight.

“The tour will now end off in Australia.”

The rapper, whose real name is Charlton Howard, said the delay was due to logistics beyond his control.

“I have a really big surprise and special guest that we just couldn’t finalise in time for February, among a bunch of other logistical stuff,” he added.

“I wanna give you the best show that I possibly can and make everyone back home proud. I promise that it will be worth it, and I will keep you guys posted on the special guests and everything else that is to come.”

‘Turned a corner’: Massive Kate news - news.com.au

Someone alert the Westminster Abbey bell ringers! Wake up the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery and get them into a royal park quick sticks to fire up the gun salute! Alert The King’s Road branch of Zara! Their number-one customer could be back, any hot minute now!

Why all the exclamation marks? Why such giddy excitement? Why the need to terrify the squirrels of Green and Hyde Parks?

More than two months after Kate the Princess of Wales revealed she has cancer we have an update and the news is… good (And people have told me that grasping crystals with one hand while typing with the other would do nothing.)

Vanity Fair’s Katie Nicholl has the distinction of being one of the royal correspondents who has actual, good and connected sources rather than just quoting something a Kensington Palace’s downstairs maid’s second cousin told a barman at her Chelsea local. And it is Nicholl who is the bearer of today’s update.

Specifically, there are three words in her latest piece that are manna for royal fans, royal watchers and anyone who enjoys looking at photos of a princess in machine washable fabrics posing for selfies.

According to Nicholl’s source Kate has “turned a corner”.

“It has been a great relief that she is tolerating the medication and is actually doing a lot better,” a family friend of Kate’s told Vanity Fair.

“It has, of course, been a very challenging and worrying time. Everyone has rallied around her—William, her parents, and her sister and brother.”

Currently that rallying is taking place at Anmer Hall on the Sandringham Estate, the ten-bedroom number that the late Queen gave to Kate and Prince William for their 2011 wedding because she couldn’t find anything on their Homebase gift registry in her price range.

With school having broken up for half-term last week, the Wales family including children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have reportedly decamped to Norfolk, having decided to “bail out” of Windsor for the duration of the half term holidays.

Possibly staying in the guest wing and on hand for buoying rounds of post-super charades are her family, the gang once somewhat acidly nicknamed the ‘En Masse Middletons’ for their propensity to go everywhere together. (I think it’s rather sweet of them.)

It has been the princess’ relatives, rather than the Waleses’ long term group of close friends, who Kate has ‘leaned on’ and ‘confided in’ during her health crisis, a friend of the prince and princess’ has told The Daily Beast’s Tom Sykes.

The friend told the Beast: “The circle of trust is tiny. She has been surrounded by Carole and Michael, and (sister) Pippa and (brother) James have obviously been there for her as well. They are an incredibly tight family, and Catherine feels absolutely confident relying on them. They have been there for her for decades and never let her down.”

Still, amidst all this lovely jubbly news, let us all manage our expectations here.

That Kate has “turned a corner” is wonderful and must come as a huge relief to the makers of the sort of purple or lime green polyester blazers she now buys that she is stuck in her business casual phase. But, that does not mean that the Princess of Wales will be back out and about doing her bit for Crown Inc in public any time soon.

The princess, per Nicholl, “is in no hurry to return to work, with her focus being entirely on her recovery.” A well-placed source told her: “There is no timeline, and there is certainly no hurry. It will be when Catherine feels ready and when she gets the greenlight from her medical team. But she will 100 per cent be coming back to work, of that there is no question.”

At which point up comes a plaintive, worldwide cry of ‘Whennnnnnnnnnnn?’ Quite when might this “100 per cent” morph from a tantalising possibility to a surefire bet?

2024 has been a testing time - in every way imaginable. This year has had the unfortunate distinction of being the year we were involuntarily put on an extreme Princess of Wales fast, first due to her planned abdominal surgery and then by after she was diagnosed with that malignant nasty, cancer.

Adding a degree of urgency to the resumption of normal Kate operations, from Buckingham and Kensington Palaces’ perspectives, is that the beginning few months of this year saw cockamamie, strange and plain noxious rumours and conspiracy theories about the 42-year-old’s health and exact location spawn across social media. (The only sliver of a silver lining? I’ve finally had cause to use the word ‘cockamamie’ professionally.)

With Nicholl’s report on Wednesday, it sounds like Kate might be ever so slowly coming out the other side of this particular PR disaster.

However, ‘turning a corner’ is still a world away from a return to anything even vaguely resembling normality.

In a couple of weeks, as the rest of the royal family is hatting-up for Trooping the Colour and readying themselves for some defcon-five waving duties, the princess will likely be at home in Windsor reading Colleen Hoover or finding Pinterest inspo for the linen cupboard makeover of her dreams or enjoying firing her air rifle in the direction of Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge.

Earlier this week a royal source told the Beast’s Sykes, “Kate’s diary for this year is empty. There is nothing planned. She may not appear in public for the rest of the year.”

Still, the auguries are decidedly positive. The princess “is understood to have done occasional school runs,” Sykes reports.

“There have been rumours she has done drop-off, but I haven’t seen her since the video,” one parent at the Waleses’ school Lambrook told him. “We all feel very protective of her. Ask anyone at the school—they are amazing parents.”

So, watch this space and listen out for those Abbey bells and keep an eye on the London squirrels. Good things are coming.

Kanye’s wife steps out in G-string, pillow - news.com.au

Kanye West and his Australian wife Bianca Censori caught the attention of onlookers on Monday when they arrived in Florence, Italy.

The rapper, 46, and the Aussie beauty, 29, gave passers-by a glimpse at their unique style, with Censori covering up her torso with a pillow.

Both dressed in white, Censori was at one point seeing gripping tightly onto West as the couple shared an embrace.

The Aussie showed off her curves in thigh-high black boots, that she paired with a revealing bodysuit.

She was last seen only a few days ago in Melbourne, when she enjoyed a dinner with her parents.

West’s wife spent time at Fitzroy cafe Mario’s with her mother Alexandra and father Leo.

West didn’t fly to Australia with his 29-year-old wife, with the fashion designer instead seen supporting his 10-year-old daughter North West Friday night, where she performed at the Hollywood Bowl at The Lion King.

Despite living in LA with her husband, Censori maintains a close relationship with her family, with her latest trip home marking her second visit within seven months.

She last visited in November, without West, when rumours were circulating the headline-making couple were taking a break.

While it appears their union is still going strong, it’s long been reported her family hold concerns about the couple’s eyebrow-raising behaviour.

Censori’s relationship with West has attracted headlines around the world over the past year – including the couple’s controversial trip to Italy last summer where the Melbourne-born architect stepped out in minimal clothing and appeared to enjoy a NSFW gondola ride with West.

Sources spoke to the Daily Mail late last year claiming Censori’s inner circle staged a dramatic intervention during her trip back home, urging her to “wake the f*** up” to the realities and alleged manipulative nature of her marriage.

It was suggested Censori had become more isolated from her friends since the couple secretly wed in December 2022.

In January, West broke his silence on his relationship with Censori in a gushing Instagram tribute for her birthday.

The Yeezy designer posted private and paparazzi photos of Censori, revealing she stood by him “when half the world turned their backs on me.”

West also referred to his four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian as “our children”.

’Piece of s***’: Wild ACA fight erupts - news.com.au

An interview on A Current Affair broke out into a wild physical fight during a shocking interview that quickly descended into chaos.

The Channel 9 show featured a dodgy car dealer whose customers have claimed is selling “more lemons than roadworthy checks”.

The man in question, Mezin Hadad, reached out to the show personally to clear his name after angry former customers shared their stories with the program earlier this month.

However, things quickly started to spiral out of control at Fair Dinkum Autos in Moreton Bay, north of Brisbane, during a heated exchange with ACA reporter Reece D’Alessandro.

D’Alessandro is initially invited into Hadad’s office only for the car salesman to start ranting at him before throwing paperwork at his head.

“If I was a dodgy car dealer, would I have been a car dealer for 34 years? Answer that! Answer that question!” Hadad yells.

“You’re a piece of s---, you’re a grub, because you’re not going to air it.

“You’re a liar because you’re only going to air what you want to air.”

Footage also shows the ACA camera team subjected to a physical attack outside the garage.

“That’s enough, that’s enough! Let go of the equipment,” yelled the interviewer as the car salesman continued to thrash out at the team.

Hadad was then filmed grabbing hold of the camera and menacingly glaring at the operator as the presenter desperately tried to calm him down.

“As soon as you let go of the equipment we can talk,” said the presenter in an attempt to stop Hadad from becoming more aggressive.

ACA had previously aired a story detailing how Hadad allegedly posed as an international businessman, posting pictures of himself surrounded by super cars and super yachts.

However, as he doesn’t actually hold a Queensland motor dealer’s licence and is banned from the industry for life after the Office of Fair Trading took him to task for harassing and intimidating customers.

Carolyn Morgan from the Office of Fair Trading told the show: “He received a lifetime ban for holding a motor dealer’s licence.

“If he was even working for somebody else who does have a licence, he still doesn’t have a licence and he cannot act in that capacity.”

Despite the ban, the show claims that Hadad has still been operating.

The show previously featured former customer Sienna Stephens who borrowed $5000 from her dad to purchase a car from Hadad after moving from Tasmania to Queensland to start her first job as a nurse.

“He said the car will be fully serviced, we will fix the paint job, the car will be beautiful,” she told ACA.

However, Stephens noticed that she had never received the roadworthy certificate Hadad promised after spotting numerous issues with the vehicle.

When Stephens and her partner confronted Hadad with their concerns, she claimed he became aggressive toward them both.

“Once he feels questioned then his demeanour switches immediately and he can be quite scary,” Stephens alleged.

“He targets people like me, like the young people, the people that don’t know anything about cars, the people in a tough spot.”

“(He is) clearly a bully and just wanting to threaten and assert his power and hope that you’ll go away.”

More customers have since come forward after the original episode aired to complain about Hadad.

Nathaniel Cook he bought a Mercedes Benz from Hadad for $9000 but it only travelled only four hours before it broke down.

It was towed to Cook’s mum’s house where it has been ever since.

According to Cook it is leaking oil and needs a new clutch but Hadad has blocked Cook’s number.

“He just needs to have some sort of punishment for this,” Cook said.

Last year the Office of Fair Trading ordered Hadad and his company to pay $127,000 in fines and compensation for breaches including harassment and coercion of customers. He was also permanently banned from holding a dealer’s licence in Queensland.

ACA has revealed that the Office of Fair Trading had confirmed to the show that it’s now investigating as a result of the numerous complaints from angry customers.
