Roxy Jacenko reveals her intense workout and diet regime

โ€œCheat days are almost non-existentโ€

Whatever your opinion of PR whiz Roxy Jacenko, one thing is certain: 2016 was not her year. Not only was her husband Oliver Curtis sentenced to two years for insider trading, she was also diagnosed with breast cancer.

โ€œWhen your life flashes in front of you in more ways than one, as it has this year for me, itโ€™s not so hard to find the hours to ensure you do what you can to keep yourself healthy not only for yourself but for your family,โ€ Jacenko revealed to the Daily Mail. โ€œIโ€™ve got to be fit and healthy for my Pix and Hunty.โ€

After her oncologist recommended regular exercise during radiation treatment and thereafter, Jacenko adopted a new approach. Her hardcore workout regimen includes three weights sessions a week with trainer Dan Adair at Sydney gym 98 Riley Street โ€“ โ€œI do weights only training and what feels like a million weighted squats and plenty of sit-ups on a ball,โ€ she says โ€“ plus two weekly F45 cardio classes, which, as anyone whoโ€™s survived one can attest, are not for the faint-hearted.

The results of her new approach were clear for all to see on her recent Hawaii holiday, during which Jacenko posted a series of snaps flaunting her toned physique.

Jacenko supplements her exercise plan with a strict diet. โ€œIโ€™m very careful with what I eat โ€“ basically a sashimi sushi diet daily, washed down with a couple of green juices a day,โ€ she says.

Australian Hotel Named Best In The World

Holiday planning, anyone?
Supplied

Halcyon House has nabbed the top spot on Mr & Mrs Smithโ€™s 2016 hotel awards.

After polling over 25,000 of its readers, the travel site named the Cabarita Beach hotel the best in the world, beating out runners up 11 Howard in New York and Hรดtel Providence Paris.

(Credit: Supplied)

I can vouch for the win, having spent my honeymoon at Halcyon House in November. A sleepy surf town on the northern coast of New South Wales isnโ€™t necessarily where I expected to spend my post-wedding escape, but Instagram-worthy interiors, attentive yet laid-back staff and a knockout restaurant, Paper Daisy, made it well worth the visit. Add a picture-perfect beachside location and the most comfortable bed Iโ€™ve ever slept in and the renovated 1960s motel well and truly lives up to the hype.

The Best Social Media Reactions To Donald Trump Calling Meryl Streep โ€˜Overratedโ€™

George Clooney had some very choice words for the US president-elect.

When Donald Trump hit back at Meryl Streepโ€™s Golden Globes speech for accusing him of mocking a disabled reporter, he messed with the wrong actress.

Why? Because calling Meryl Streep โ€˜overratedโ€™ is like telling Michael Jordan he needs to work on his game. 

RELATED: Meryl Streep Gives One Of The Most Powerful Acceptance Speeches Of All Time

Naturally, celebrities came to Meryl Streepโ€™s defence with fellow actors George Clooney and Ben Affleck in absolute disbelief over the comments.

George Clooney wasnโ€™t impressed by Trumpโ€™s attempt to bring down the 19-time-Academy-Award-nominated actress. He told The Guardian reporters that he thought the president-elect should have more pressing priorities.

โ€œArenโ€™t you supposed to be running the country?โ€ he said. โ€œI didnโ€™t vote for him, I donโ€™t support him, I donโ€™t think heโ€™s the right choice. At this moment in our lives we have to hope that he doesnโ€™t destroy everything. The reality is you have to hope he will do a decent job because if the United States fails, really terrible things happen, so you have to hope that he can. I donโ€™t see any signs of it โ€ฆ I think weโ€™re going to be a little unlucky now.โ€

He also added in jest that he agreed, heโ€™s โ€˜always saidโ€™ Meryl Streep was the most โ€˜overratedโ€™ actress.

โ€œSheโ€™s maybe the most overrated actress of all time,โ€ he said. โ€œShe and I worked together on Fantastic Mr. Fox as husband and wife and I will tell you even as a fox, a female fox, sheโ€™s overrated.โ€

Meanwhile Ben Affleck was incredibly amused by Trumpโ€™s choice of jibe. He spoke on Jimmy Kimmel about the tweets. 

โ€œIf thereโ€™s one thing truly in the world that we know is not true, itโ€™s that Meryl Streep is overrated,โ€ Affleck said. โ€œItโ€™s like [saying] Gandhi: terrible leader! Pick a better shot rather than the person whose photograph actually accompanies โ€˜great actress.โ€™โ€

The Internet also came to Meryl Streepโ€™s defence, and were completely outraged by Trumpโ€™s comments.

In fact, a hashtag started called #ThingsTrumpThinksAreOverrated and it is pretty damn funny.

We canโ€™t imagine these Trump Twitter awards ending too soon, can you?

This brilliant video about women and cellulite is going viral

Go body positivity
Getty

Cellulite. We all have it. 

But rather than feeling bad about our cottage-cheese thighs, body-positive Instagrammer Gabi Gregg is here to tell you that enough is enough!

The model took to Instagram to share a powerful message with her 450,000 followers, saying: โ€˜[A] reminder that cellulite is normal and nothing to be ashamed of (and also depends on lighting! You can literally see mine โ€œdisappearโ€โ€ฆ)โ€™

In the short video, below, Gregg can be seen strutting forwards on a mirrored runway. At first, the back of Greggโ€™s legs appear to be brimming with cellulite. 

The beauty blogger then saunters out of the shadows to reveal soft, sleek looking skin clear of any imperfections. 

The dark haired beauty is known to advocate for inclusion and size-diversity in the modelling industry, using the viral video as part of the promotion for her new swimwear range, which features a collection of swimsuits for sizes 12 โ€“ 24.

The video has been viewed more than 45,000 times.

Cara Delevingne Shuts Down a Sexist Troll With One Perfect Tweet

Nailed it
Getty

When youโ€™re a world-famous model and social media darling, youโ€™re an easy target for critics โ€“ as Cara Delevingne found out earlier this week.  

On Sunday, the Suicide Squad star posted a tweet to her seven million Twitter followers: โ€œOn my way to do something incredibly exciting and I am very nervousโ€. 

The model and actor was then lambasted by @BradTheLadLong, who tweeted โ€œโ€ฆhopefully an interview for a real job. Your looks will fade, Cara. You canโ€™t cash in on your eyebrows forever.โ€

Fortunately the straight-talking model had the perfect comeback.

https://twitter.com/BradTheLadLong/status/817799302990925824

โ€œYou will regret saying that. I am actually trying to do something good. This has nothing to do with my โ€˜looksโ€™,โ€ Delevingne retorted. โ€œYou are just another thirsty man who puts people down for attention on Twitter and who thinks that looks are all thatโ€™s importantโ€.

โ€œTry doing something for the world, period! I have no time no another man trying to tear down a woman for being successful.โ€

The โ€œsomething incredibly excitingโ€ Cara was talking about?

She was meeting with South Sudanese refugees on a trip with UNHCR, the UNโ€™s refugee agency, as part of its GirlUp campaign, which aims to improve education and school enrollment among refugee girls.

Sounds like a real job to us.

Just wait until you see the bottom!

Sienna Miller stepped on to the red carpet for the premiere of her new film Live By Night in Los Angeles and looked like she was stepping right off the pages of a fairytale.

The actress wore a cornflower blue and gold tiered gown from Gucciโ€™s Spring/Summer 17 collection and we canโ€™t stop staring at it. 

Sienna Miller

From the sweet bow detailing to the layers of chiffon making up the skirt, this look is not for the feint hearted, and Sienna absolutely nails it.

Keeping the look relaxed and ethereal, the star wore her blonde hair soft and wavy, but did add a red lip for a bit of edge.

Sienna was joined at the premiere by co-star Ben Affleck who also stars in the film which is set in the Prohibition era in the world of organised crime.

Speaking of the pairโ€™s intense sex scenes, the actress said she found it hard to keep a straight face.

โ€œBen and I are like brother and sister, thank God, so there was no awkwardness. There was just a lot of stupid giggling. Heโ€™s very professionalโ€”I am not, but he is,โ€ she told Daily Mail

 

โ€œIn that environment, it was a cool scene. There was a montage in the script saying we did it everywhere: in the car, in the barโ€ฆI was like: โ€˜Thatโ€™s an entire day of just love scenes! OK. How do we do this?'โ€

 

โ€œObviously, by the time nine hours of it has gone past, I was shaking with tears running down my face. I mean, I canโ€™t tell youโ€”but you have to laugh. Ben is just professional. It is what it is.โ€

Kelly Landry Reportedly Takes Out AVO Against Husband Anthony Bell

The Sydney to Hobart skipper is set to face court over the matter

Aussie TV star Kelly Landry has taken out an apprehended violence order (AVO) against husband Anthony Bell, it has been reported.

Bell, whose Supermaxi Perpetual Loyal took out this yearโ€™s Sydney to Hobart in record time, is due before Waverley Court on Thursday, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

In addition to regular AVO conditions, Bellโ€™s interim order also states that he must not be in the company of Landry for 12 hours after drinking alcohol or taking illicit substances.

Landry is a former model and TV presenter while Bell is the founder of accountancy firm Bell Partners whose clients include the likes of Michael Clarke, Anthony Minichiello, Karl Stefanovic and Larry Emdur.

The pair married in a lavish ceremony in 2011 and have two daughters.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Bell sent out an email to his clients denying allegations that he pushed his wife back in November and says he will fight the allegations in court. 

โ€œBy now you may have seen a most distressing piece of news about my family involving some allegations my wife has made about me,โ€ the email read.

โ€œThere is an allegation that I pushed her in November โ€ฆ I did not push her. There is an allegation I spoke loudly and embarrassed her in front of friends. It did not happen. I deny the allegations.โ€

โ€œI abhor all violence and I am faithful to my family,โ€ his email stated. โ€œIt is unimaginable to me that I could ever touch a woman in anger. 

โ€œI have never taken a drug, been in any way disrespectful to people. I lead a quiet family life and try to be the best โ€ฆ husband that circumstances permit.โ€

The couple were last photographed on December 28, embracing after Bellโ€™s Sydney to Hobart win.

La La Land Just Broke The Record For Most Golden Globe Wins, And Hereโ€™s Why You Need To See It

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling's romance will capture your imagination.

La La Land cleaned up at the Golden Globes, taking home a whopping seven awards.

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling won Best Actress and Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical, while director Damien Chazelle took away Best Director. The film also won Best Motion Picture โ€“ Musical or Comedy, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score and Best Original Song for โ€˜City of Starsโ€™.

But you might be wondering, whatโ€™s with all the hype?

RELATED: Ryan Gosling Gushing Over Eva Mendes Will Make Your Heart Melt

Critics have been divided about the film, with some praising it for its โ€˜magicalโ€™ direction and beautiful score, and others slamming it for its โ€˜lack of original plotโ€™ and Goslingsโ€™ โ€˜nasal singingโ€™. But hereโ€™s why you should absolutely ignore the negative reviews and go watch it anywayโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s A Movie For Dreamers

Emma Stone said it herself in her acceptance speech โ€“ La La Land is a film for anyone whoโ€™s ever had their confidence knocked when chasing their dream, but still โ€˜finds it within themselves to get upโ€™. Emma Stone and Ryan Goslingโ€™s characters (Mia and Sebastian) are complex and conflicted โ€“ they struggle between their desire to succeed and their love for one another, and itโ€™s magnificent to watch. Thereโ€™s a sense of escapism in the bright costumes and sultry settings, and it will ignite your imagination.

Itโ€™s A Beautiful Introduction To The Modern Musical

โ€œBut I donโ€™t like musicals,โ€ you might say. Yes, La La Land bears reference to the traditional musicals of the 50s, and it may take you until Emma Stone picks up her iPhone in the opening scene to figure out that La La Land is set in the present, but the film is a modern musical for a modern time. The score is subtle, with less songs than you might expect in a musical, and it rarely jumps into blockbuster tracks like in Hairspray or Chicago. The pace is more natural, and feels less interrupted by music, which makes the genre more accessible.

Itโ€™s Emma Stoneโ€™s Best Performance Yet

There is subtlety and feeling that we havenโ€™t seen before from Emma Stone until now. From her characterโ€™s crippling feelings of failure, to her moments of hope, she takes you on a journey. While Stone isnโ€™t a natural singer, she carries the songs well and most impressive was her dancing, which was incredibly emotive. Sheโ€™s a hot contender for an Oscar in this movie.

The Wardrobes Are Outstanding

If youโ€™re looking for some ideas of how to bring some colour to your summer wardrobe, La La Land is a marvellous place to start. Emma Stoneโ€™s block colour dresses are inspired by vintage cuts but modernised, while Ryan Goslingโ€™s wardrobe is a tip of the hat to the first jazz musicians.

La La Land Ryan Gosling Emma Stone

Itโ€™s A Love Story, But Itโ€™s Also Realistic

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have undeniable chemistry on screen. But this love story is quite different to that of Crazy Stupid Love โ€“ and youโ€™ll see why at the end. Mia and Sebastianโ€™s meeting is a classic meet cute where they argue as strangers in a traffic jam. After bumping into each other a couple more times, they figure itโ€™s fate and start dating. But itโ€™s their journey, struggles and ultimate decision of how to move forward that make this film more than a romance in a rom com. This is a movie about more than just romantic love โ€“ itโ€™s about dreams and ambition, and the sacrifices we make to chase them.

Elderly Man Stabs Wife of 55 Years to Death

The shock murder occurred at the couplesโ€™ home on the Central Coast.

A 55-year-marriage ended in murder yesterday afternoon when Ben Ivanoff was charged yesterday with allegedly stabbing his wife Leonne to death.

The harrowing incident took place in the coupleโ€™s lounge room of their two-storey Nowack Ave home in Umina Beach shortly before 3pm. Emergency services were called to the scene where the 74-year-old grandmother was found dead.

Locals expressed their shock at the incident, including an elderly neighbour who told Nine News, โ€œThe man was always very friendly with us and always fixed up the plumbing problems for us.โ€

The accusedโ€™s Legal Aid solicitor told the Gosford Local Court he suffered from several medical conditions, including depression, macular degeneration, heart problems and had recently been hospitalised with dementia.

However, Magistrate Bruce Williams refused bail explaining that faced with similar circumstances, the defendant could be at โ€œrisk of further offendingโ€.

After being arrested, Ivanoff, 76, took part in a recorded interview with police where he allegedly admitted to โ€œsnappingโ€ and stabbing his wife in the neck after she laughed at him for thinking she was having an affair. He told police he only wanted โ€œto scare herโ€ but an altercation ensued resulting in his wifeโ€™s death.

The ABC reports that police allege the coupleโ€™s relationship had deteriorated in recent years with โ€œdelusional thoughtsโ€ leading Ivanoff to believe his wife was being unfaithful. He was also sick of her constant โ€œbickeringโ€ and โ€œnaggingโ€. He went onto to tell police her laughing had infuriated him and the fight had escalated.

A police examination of the scene uncovered a plastic handle of a knife under a coffee table near where the body was discovered. Police also allege the blade of the knife was still in the victimโ€™s neck.

Tributes to the deceased have already been shared on social media with Lana Ivanoff posting a heartfelt message to her โ€œNannaโ€, โ€œYouโ€™re in a better place now I know you will be always watching over me,โ€ she said. โ€œYou will always be in my heart.โ€

Ivanoff showed no emotion in court on Monday and the case has been adjourned until March 3.

This Golden Globes beauty trend will be huge in 2017

Bonus: anyone can do it

After months of heavy contouring and sultry smoky eyes, the majority of Golden Globes beauty looks signaled a refreshing change: unreservedly pretty make-up.

Dominated by pastel shades (think soft, rosy pinks, silver-flecked shadow and touches of pale turquoise), the look is natural, radiant and works equally well on fair to dark complexions.

And unlike clown-style contouring, this is a look you can easily replicate at home. Take your cues from the stars who were a vision in pretty pastels below.

Emma Stone wore rosy lips and petal pink eyeshadow with a smattering of silver in the inner corners to set off her porcelain skin.

Claire Foy also accentuated her English rose looks, with glitzy pink eyes toughened up by jet black liner.

Hailee Steinfeldโ€™s fairytale violet gown was set of by an equally dreamy approach to beauty, with pastel pink and purple shadow and soft pink lips.

Zoe Saldanaโ€™s natural beauty look is defined by pink lips to match the hue of her gown and a powdery pastel eyeshadow.

Mandy Moore presented a softer take on the blue eyeliner trend sweeping Hollywood, opting for metallic turquoise on her bottom lash line and a burnished pink on top.

Felicity Jones added silvery blue to her pastel make-up for the night.

These Are The Two Most Popular Baby Names In NSW From 2016

And they're surprisingly similar...
The NSW Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages is preparing to release their list of Top 10 Names of last year in April โ€“ but theyโ€™ve decided to give us a teaser. 
As it turns out, the name Oliver is the most popular boyโ€™s name again for the third year running. 
Meanwhile, Olivia is the most popular girlโ€™s name, which is interesting given how similar they both are!
Alana Sheil, Acting Registrar released a statement about the list, explaining the reasons behind the trends.
โ€œWhen you look to the meaning of names, Oliver and Olivia are often linked to peace,โ€ Ms Sheil said.
โ€œTraditional names, popular 100 years ago, are back in fashion. However, names come and go in cycles between generations.โ€
โ€œThirty years ago it was Joshua and Jessica, and their parents could have been Michael and Michelle. These days youโ€™re more likely to be a Charlotte or Jack.โ€
She added that choosing names for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make!
โ€œWhether you go with popular name trends or opt for something unique, remember your child will likely carry their name for life so itโ€™s important to choose wisely.โ€

This is how you get Chrissy Teigenโ€™s Golden Globes look

All about that Becca

Leave it to Chrissy Teigen to really put the Golden into last nightโ€™s awards ceremony โ€“ unsurprisingly, everyoneโ€™s favourite celebrity positively glowed.

And now we know how she does it, thanks to renowned make-up artist Mary Philips. An A-lister favourite, Phillips was behind Teigenโ€™s Golden Globes make-up look, and happily, sheโ€™s listed every single product she used on her Instagram account, as Cosmopolitan UK discovered.

Phillips relied heavily on Becca products to create Chrissyโ€™s radiant look, from their cult-status Shimmering Skin Perfector (side note: it happens to be the best-selling Sephora product worldwide) to their Ombre Nude Eyeshadow palette and Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid Highlighter.

But she also road-tested one brand new Becca product yet to be released to non-celebrity beauty addicts: the Soft Light Blurring Powder. Given the gorgeous effect it gave Chrissy, and given Beccaโ€™s history for creating the ultimate powders/highlighters, we are a tad excited about this one.

Weโ€™ll keep you posted on when itโ€™s due to hit Australian shelves.

Milo Ventimigliaโ€™s Theory About The Father Of Rory Gilmoreโ€™s Baby Will Break Your Heart

This changes everything...

It may be several months since the Gilmore Girls revival aired and answered a lot of our questions โ€“ and made us pose many more! But Milo Ventimiglia, AKA Jess on the show, is still facing questions about the showโ€™s enigmatic ending.

When Rory Gilmore told her mum that she was pregnant at the end of the show, it seemed that there were only three possible options โ€“ Paul, Logan and Chewbacca. But Ventimiglia seems to think that this isnโ€™t really the case. 

RELATED: The Gilmore Girls Creator Doesnโ€™t Understand Why People Are So Obsessed With Roryโ€™s Boyfriends

At the Golden Globes, he was asked by Variety who of the three contenders he thought was the father, and gave the most โ€˜Jessโ€™ response ever!

I donโ€™t think itโ€™s any of the three guys at all,โ€ he said.

โ€œYou know what, I havenโ€™t really sat around and thought about it, wondered who it was, so Iโ€™ll be as surprised as anyone else is.โ€

Wellโ€ฆ weโ€™re just not buying it, given that the show all but confirmed that Logan is the father and Jess will fulfil his destiny as Roryโ€™s โ€˜Lukeโ€™ (see more on that theory here). 

That being said, we wonโ€™t really know until Netflix gives us more Gilmore Girls โ€“ so hereโ€™s hoping that happens!

Details Emerge Surrounding The Identity Of Those Arrested Over Kim Kardashian Robbery

Was it an inside job?

More details continue to emerge around those arrested over the Kim Kardashian robbery in Paris on October 3.

The 36-year-old mother of two was held at gunpoint by a number of masked men who stole an estimated $15 million of jewellery from the star.

According to French newspaper Le Monde, one of the suspects arrested works for the limo company that the reality TV family regularly used during their visits to Paris.

The man is reported as being the last person to have chauffeured Kardashian West on October 3, the night the robbery took place.

According to the publication, a number of the other suspects are known criminals to the French authorities, with backgrounds of armed robberies and drug and counterfeit trafficking. They also report three of the suspects are women.

Police spent weeks coordinating the arrests, reviewing evidence and collecting DNA smaples form the scene.

The suspects will reportedly now be held for questioning.

Kim is yet to make an official comment on the arrests, however a source close to the star says she is โ€œrelievedโ€.

โ€œKim is aware that the French police have made arrests relating to her robbery,โ€ a source tells People.  

โ€œWhile she is relieved they are making progress, any updates makes her relive everything. Itโ€™s still very tough for her to deal with.โ€

Kim made her highly-anticipated return to social media last week, posting a number of family snaps with husband Kanye West and children North, three, and Saint, 13 months. She is set to make her first official public appearance during a trip to Dubai next week.

Carrie Fisher And Debbie Reynoldsโ€™ Causes Of Death Revealed

The mother and daughter passed away just one day apart

Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynoldsโ€™ death certificates have revealed the actressesโ€™ official causes of death.

According to TMZ, who obtained the certificates, Reynolds, who passed away on December 28 at the age of 84, died from an intracerebral hemorrhage, also known as a stroke. The document states that she died from a blood vessel that ruptured and caused bleeding in her brain.

Fisherโ€™s death certificate states โ€œcardiac arrest/deferredโ€, which means the Los Angeles County Coronerโ€™s Office are still conducting further tests to determine what caused her heart attack on December 23.

TMZ reports that toxicology tests are being performed to determine if there were drugs in her system that might have contributed to her heart attack.

Fisher died four days after suffering the heart attack on board a flight from London to LA at the age of 60.

Fisher was taking prescription medication to control health issues, and she has been open about her past battle with drug addiction however it remains unknown if she was taking anything at the time of her death.

The mother-daughter duo were laid to rest last week, and Fisherโ€™s daughter, Billie Lourd gathered her motherโ€™s closest friends and family for a memorial at her Beverley Hills home on January 7.

The pair were also honoured with a tribute at yesterdayโ€™s Golden Globes ceremony.

Because there were so many details you missed

Yesterdayโ€™s Golden Globes didnโ€™t disappoint when it came to the fashion, with stars including Emma Stone, Lily Collins, Mandy Moore and Natalie Portman blowing us away with their red carpet looks.

However on closer inspection, we suddenly realised that there is so much more to some of these gorgeous frocks than what first meets the eye. These stunning gowns *need to be seen from all angles.

Has Kylie Jenner given up lip fillers?

It certainly looks that way

Itโ€™s possibly not the most pressing question on the global agenda, but given the amount of attention โ€“ and money โ€“ Kylieโ€™s famously over-sized pout attracts, weโ€™re going to attempt to answer it.

Her appearance at the Golden Globes after party got everyone talking, partly because she looks simply lovely with a more natural make-up look than weโ€™re used to seeing on her, and partly because of her curiously deflated (how else does one describe it?) lips.

RELATED: The Golden Globes Dresses You Missed

She of the sell-out-in-seconds plumping lip kits (not to mention a highly publicised penchant for plumping of the injectable kind) appears to be eschewing her signature style for a more natural look. This is Kylie at the Golden Globes after party:

And three months ago:

Time will tell whether Kylie is embracing her natural lip size โ€“ or whether sheโ€™s just skipped one too many appointments.

Donald Trump Hits Out At Meryl Streep After Epic Golden Globes Speech

The actress gave one of the most powerful acceptance speeches of all time

Meryl Streep is no stranger to making a powerful statement through her acceptance speeches. Sheโ€™s given enough of them. But her speech at yesterdayโ€™s Golden Globes was one of her most powerful yet.

It will truly give you chills.

Taking to the stage to accept the Cecil B. Demille Award for her incredible body of work, the legendary actress used the moment to take aim at President elect Donald Trump (without ever actually saying who she was talking about โ€“ becasue sheโ€™s all class), as well as calling for freedom of the press โ€“ and even managed to honour her late friend Carrie Fisher.

โ€œThere was one performance this year that stunned me,โ€ she said. โ€œIt sank its hooks in my heart. Not because it was good. There was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still canโ€™t get it out of my head because it wasnโ€™t in a movie. It was real life.โ€

โ€œAnd this instinct to humiliate, when itโ€™s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybodyโ€™s life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing,โ€ she continued.

โ€œDisrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. And the powerful use their position to bully others, we all loseโ€ฆThis brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage. Thatโ€™s why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in our constitution.

โ€œSo I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood foreign press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the committee to protect journalists. Because weโ€™re going to need them going forward. And theyโ€™ll need us to safeguard the truth.

โ€œOne more thing: Once, when I was standing around on the set one day whining about somethingโ€”we were going to work through supper, or the long hours, or whateverโ€”Tommy Lee Jones said to me, โ€˜Isnโ€™t it such a privilege, Meryl, just to be an actor?โ€™ Yeah, it is. And we have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be very proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight. As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, โ€œTake your broken heart, make it into art. Thank you.โ€

However in true Donald Trump style, the US President elect took to Twitter to unleash a viscous tirade against the actress, calling her โ€œoverratedโ€.

Considering the 67-year-old actress was on stage to receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her โ€˜outstanding contributions to the world of entertainmentโ€™ weโ€™re pretty sure that argument isnโ€™t going to fly.

Also her three Oscars, 16 Oscar nominations, nine Golden Globes and 23 Golden Glob nominations would also suggest otherwise.

Trump has also previously claimed he was not aware that the reporter, Serge Kovaleski of the New York Times, was disabled when he signalled him out for ridicule during a rally in South Carolina โ€” โ€œYouโ€™ve got to see this guy,โ€ he said, before jerking his arms around mocking him.

โ€œI was never mocking anyone,โ€ Trump told the NY Times on Monday.

โ€œI was calling into question a reporter who had gotten nervous because he had changed his story. People keep saying I intended to mock the reporterโ€™s disability, as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing.โ€

Priceless

When Ryan Gosling took to the stage to accept the award for best Actor at yesterdayโ€™s Golden Globes โ€“ and deliver an incredible acceptance speech while he was at it โ€“ that other Ryan that we love, Reynolds, was busy locking lips with fellow actor Andrew Garfield.

Weโ€™re still not exactly sure why they did it โ€“ we can only assume Garfield was comforting Reynolds for losing out to Gosling on the award โ€“ but Andrewโ€™s ex Emma Stone looked equally as puzzled when the moment was played to her backstage after her own Best Actress win.

Queensland High School Teacher Banned After Having Sex With Student

The incident occurred at the school where his wife also taught.

The student was just 17 and in Year 11 when the affair began in 2014.

Gold Coast Bulletin reports that in evidence presented to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal, an inappropriate relationship began when the teacher started giving her gifts, including sweets and sending her crude emails. A tribunal member described this time as โ€œa testing of the waters for a possible later sexual relationship.โ€

Soon after the student turned 18 in October 2015, the man secretly sent her his phone number and they began to exchange sexually explicit texts and phone calls. The deception continued, with the married teacher leaving a family holiday to have sex with the girl at his home. On another occasion where the two met, he lied to his wife telling her he was seeing a movie with another teacher.

โ€œSome of the sexual encounters occurred at school during school hours, other in a park, and at the teacherโ€™s home,โ€ said the Tribunal.

The pair met on at least five different occasions for intercourse before the girl graduated in 2015. The tribunal also heard the former teacher had left an envelope for the student containing $200 to spend at Schoolies, at the school office, disguising the gesture as a reference. During this time, he took a day off work to spend time with the girl.

The relationship was ultimately exposed in early 2016 when rumours began to circulate on social media and an ex-student reported it to the school. Initially, all allegations were denied by both the teacher and student.

During the official investigation, it was discovered the he had tried to influence the student, contacting her from public phones and instructing her on how to answer certain questions to hide the true nature of their affair.

The teacher was eventually forced to resign after being confronted with overwhelming evidence in April of last year. On December 23, 2016 the tribunal cancelled the manโ€™s registration and he will not be eligible to register to teach until 2023. The disgraced teacher has also been ordered to pay the Queensland College of Teachers $5000 in costs.

In order to resume teaching again, he must complete a professional boundaries and ethics course and provide a psychologistโ€™s report before he can submit his application.

Scientists Finally Discovered The Reason Why Your PMS Is So Bad

Now where's the cure?!

If you have severe PMS, you may get frustrated by those who donโ€™t believe you or think you need to โ€˜harden upโ€™. Luckily, now scientists have shown that there is actually a genetic reason behind why some suffer from severe PMS and others donโ€™t.

A new study from the National Institutes of Health has discovered that it is actually a selection of genes that make some women more likely to suffer from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). The disorder affects between two to five percent of all women, and results in depression, anxiety and irritability in the days approaching menstruation.

RELATED: Scientists Have Discovered Why Period Pain Hurts So Much

Scientists tested the hypothesis that PMDD actually affects how your cells respond to estrogen and progesterone (the two hormones that control menstruation), and the results were very interesting.

When the scientists โ€˜turned offโ€™ estrogen and progestrone, women found that the PMDD symptoms disappeared, whereas when the hormones were turned on, the symptoms returned.

One of the scientists, David Goldman M.D., said that this was quite a revolutionary discovery in a statement.

โ€œThis is a big moment for womenโ€™s health, because it establishes that women with PMDD have an intrinsic difference in their molecular apparatus for response to sex hormones โ€“ not just emotional behaviours they should be able to voluntarily control,โ€ said Goldman.

Itโ€™s great that we finally know more about this. Now whereโ€™s the cure?

We asked a Wall Street exec turned perfume guru on how to create mood with fragrance

A woman whoโ€™s worked for Christian Dior and Ralph Lauren canโ€™t be wrong

Laura Slatkin has had quite the career: after over a decade spent standing her ground amongst the sea of suits on Wall Street, she struck out on her own to launch a home fragrance company with her husband: NEST Fragrances.

Within three whirlwind years, Laura was creating private-label and licensed scents for a slew of names you may have heard of โ€“ Christian Dior, Tory Burch, Jonathan Adler and Ralph Lauren among them โ€“ as well as her own retail line of luxury home fragrance.

We sat down with the incredibly elegant Laura to find out just how she does it, from harnessing the power of scent to create mood to the common fragrance mistakes weโ€™ll never make again.

Laura Slatkin.

Can you share your best tips for finding the right home fragrance?

If you entertain a lot, you always want your guests to be in a great mood when they come to your home. A bright citrus fragrance will lift everyoneโ€™s spirits, create a joyful mood and appeal to all. Citrus fragrances are happy fragrances; theyโ€™re crowd-pleasers. We have two exceptional citrus scents โ€“ Grapefruit and Sicilian Tangerine. Grapefruit has uplifting, sparkling notes of pink pomelo grapefruit and coriander blossom, and Sicilian Tangerine is a mouth-watering blend of Italian bergamot, juicy mango and passionfruit.

What about when youโ€™re entertaining just for two? How can fragrance be used to create a sense of romance?

If youโ€™re having your significant other over for dinner, oriental, woody and amber-based fragrances are exactly what you need to set the right mood. Look for scents with notes of exotic woods, bergamot and patchouli. I created a home fragrance called Moroccan Amber, which has all these notes plus heliotrope, eucalyptus and amber. It is a very sensual, intriguing and exotic fragrance. Need I say more?

Whatโ€™s your favourite fragrance memory?
When my husband, Harry, and I were first married in 1992, we would place hyacinths in the entry vestibule of our first apartment. When people walked off the elevator, they were greeted with an overdose of beautiful floral notes. Today, I still love to greet guests who walk into our homeโ€™s entryway with a bold and impactful floral fragrance.    

Is there a common faux pas people make when fragrancing their home?

Combining different fragrances can be tricky and, frankly, not necessary. I work hand-in-hand with the worldโ€™s most talented master perfumers to create each and every one of our home fragrances. They are highly complex and nuanced and mixing them diminishes all the painstaking work and creativity that goes into creating a perfectly balanced fragrance. Please โ€“ do not combine your fragrances!

Another mistake people make is not realising that itโ€™s actually incredibly important it is to take care of their candles. Taking proper care of your scented candles or not simply means the difference between getting the most out of and safely enjoying them for their intended life cycle or ruining them after the first lighting! Be sure to follow the burning instructions on the box and candle label, keep the wicks properly trimmed by using a wick trimmer before burning, keep the wax free of debris, and never ever leave candles burning unattended.

โ€œDisrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. And the powerful use their position to bully others, we all loseโ€ฆThis brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage. Thatโ€™s why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in our constitution.

โ€œSo I only ask the famously well-heeled Hollywood foreign press and all of us in our community to join me in supporting the committee to protect journalists. Because weโ€™re going to need them going forward. And theyโ€™ll need us to safeguard the truth.

โ€œOne more thing: Once, when I was standing around on the set one day whining about somethingโ€”we were going to work through supper, or the long hours, or whateverโ€”Tommy Lee Jones said to me, โ€˜Isnโ€™t it such a privilege, Meryl, just to be an actor?โ€™ Yeah, it is. And we have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be very proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight. As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, โ€œTake your broken heart, make it into art. Thank you.โ€

Emma Stoneโ€™s Adorably Awkward Hug Is All Of Us

She handled it like a pro.

Emma Stone is already our imaginary BFF and she just proved that she really is just like us when she went to congratulate her La La Land co-star Damien Chazelle on his win for Best Screenplay at todayโ€™s Golden Globes.

In her excitement she went to hug Chazelle but cut right in between him and his date and it was just. so. awkward.

Ryan Gosling Thanks Eva Mendes In Acceptance Speech And You Will Lose It

Weโ€™re not crying, you are.

Despite being parents to two daughters, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have managed to keep their relationship and family life entirely out of the spotlight โ€“ until now.

As the La La Land star took to the stage to accept the award for Best Actor he used the moment to thank โ€“ and absolutely gush โ€“ about his โ€œladyโ€ whom he told the audience he wanted to โ€œthank properlyโ€.

โ€œWhile I was singing and dancing and playing the piano and having one of the best experiences Iโ€™ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer,โ€ he said.

โ€œIf she hadnโ€™t taken all of that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today.โ€

He then stared directly down the barrel, adding โ€œSweetheart, thank you.โ€

If that wasnโ€™t enough he then sent a message to his two girls, โ€œTo my daughters, Amada and Esmerelda, I love you,โ€ before dedicating the win to Mendesโ€™ older brither, Juan Carlos, who lost his battle with cancer in April 2016.

Oops! The Golden Globes Just Got John Legendโ€™s Name Wrong

And Chrissy Teigen made sure everyone knows it

John Legend might have been seated front and centre at todayโ€™s Golden Globes like the A-lister that he is, but sometimes even Hollywood stars get brought right back down to earth.

The La La Land star took his seat only to find they had spelt his name wrong โ€“ and if that wasnโ€™t enough wife Chrissy Teigen took to Twitter to make sure everybody knew it.

โ€œBahahaha loser,โ€ she cheekily captioned the snap.

Apparently curries are some of her favourite foods

She loves desserts

The Royal family loves eating Christmas pudding and fruitcake around the holiday season but Kate Middleton reportedly loves having cakes and sweets on other occasions too.

Sofia Vergaraโ€™s On Stage Gaffe At Golden Globes Leaves Viewers Scratching Their Heads

Was it a mistake or was it actually planned?

Ah public speaking, it can go so wrong. Just ask Sofia Vergara.

The Modern Family star took to the stage at todayโ€™s Golden Globes to introduce this yearโ€™s Golden Globes trio and when talking about the tradition, she mispronounced the word โ€œannualโ€ accidentally saying โ€œanalโ€.

Realising her mistake she quickly corrected herself, โ€œI didnโ€™t mean anal,โ€ she said, laughing it off.

Twitter users had a field day with the gaffe โ€“ however most were actually questioning whether or not it was actually a mistake and labeling the showโ€™s writers as sexist and racist for mocking her accent.

The Golden Globes also posted the video to itโ€™s Twitter account, further fueling the suspicion the line was planned.

โ€œThis is my third nomination, Iโ€™ve been to the Globes six times, and Iโ€™ve worn a dress every time,โ€ she explained on the red carpet.

โ€œAnd I love dresses, Iโ€™m not trying to protest dresses. But I wanted to make sure that young girls and women knew that they arenโ€™t a requirement.โ€

โ€œThat you donโ€™t have to wear one if you donโ€™t want to, and to just be yourself because your worth is more than that,โ€ she contined. โ€œSo this year I said Iโ€™m going as an homage to Marlene Dietrich and Victor Victoria, and David Bowie because itโ€™s his birthday.โ€

January Jones Explains Why Her Son Doesnโ€™t Need A Father Figure

"He doesnโ€™t have a male person in his life saying โ€˜donโ€™t cryโ€™ or โ€˜you throw like a girl.โ€™ "
Getty Images

January Jones is determined to raise her 5-year-old son around strong women, sans father figure. 

In a recent interview with UKโ€™s Red magazine, the Mad Men actress has sealed her status as a badass single mother, discussing why sheโ€™s not at all concerned that her 5-year-old son Xander is without a masculine parental figure.

โ€œItโ€™s good to have strong women around a man,โ€ she says. โ€œTo teach him to respect women. He doesnโ€™t have a male person in his life saying โ€˜donโ€™t cryโ€™ or โ€˜you throw like a girl.โ€™ All those sh***y things dads accidentally do.โ€

Instead, Xander is surrounded by amazing female role models, with actresses like Rose Byrne and Amy Adams in Jonesโ€™ inner circle.

Giving birth she chose to be surrounded by only women. 

โ€œMy younger sisters [Jacey and Jina] and my mum and my doula were in the room. My brother-in-law and my dad were next door. I only wanted women with me,โ€ she remembers. โ€œFemale energy. And I was embarrassed โ€“ your body does all these crazy things. It was a 30-hour process but it was awesome. Iโ€™d love to do it again.โ€

But Jones is also grateful for the men in Xanderโ€™s life.

โ€œXander has a lot of bro time with the neighbour dads and my dad, who is super young.โ€

Questions about her romantic aspirations make Jones uncomfortable, and sheโ€™s made it very clear that sheโ€™s happy on her own, despite other peopleโ€™s efforts to set her up.

โ€œPeople want to set me up all the time and Iโ€™m like, โ€˜No way.โ€™ If I meet someone and we go out, then fine, but Iโ€™m not going to go look โ€ฆ โ€ 

โ€œSomething else would suffer if a relationship came along. Yes, Iโ€™m willing to make that sacrifice for the right relationship โ€“ I just donโ€™t feel I need a partner. Do I want one? Maybe. But I donโ€™t feel unhappy or lonely. It would have to be someone so amazing that I would want to make room. Someone who would contribute to my happiness and not take away from it. I realise I have very high expectations and will probably have to compromise โ€“ but my life is so full. Itโ€™s not like, โ€˜Aww, I wish I had a man.โ€™ After I had Xander, I went on a couple of dates and I was like, โ€˜Iโ€™d rather be at home sleeping, or watching TV or hanging out with my kid.โ€™โ€

Emily Ratajkowski now has the hair we all want

New year, new look?

Leave it to Emily Ratajkowski to cause a stir on the red carpet โ€“ sheโ€™s already the talk of the Golden Globes before theyโ€™ve really begun, accessorising her plunging gold satin dress with an equally striking new haircut.

Sheโ€™s chopped off her wavy long lengths for a textured lob, with the ends hovering a good inch above her collarbone. With a deep side part and brushed out curls, the look is fresh, of-the-moment and downright sexy โ€“ but weโ€™d expect nothing less from Em Rata.

As the starlet demonstrates, a textured lob is the perfect cut to show off a dressโ€™s detailed neckline and dramatic back. Brb โ€“ booking a hair appointment.

Victoria Beckhamโ€™s Company Reportedly Files $7.7 Million Loss

Despite making $61.3 million in 2015

Despite making a whopping $61.3 million in 2015, it still wasnโ€™t enough for Victoria Beckham to turn a profit, with the designer filing a reported $AU7.7 million loss.

According to The Sun, the former Spice Girl filed the loss despite receiving approximately $AU11 million from husband David Beckhamโ€™s company, DB Ventures.

Davidโ€™s company reportedly posted a $AU44 million profit for the year, with paperwork referring to โ€œa ยฃ3million pledge โ€” along with Beckham Brand Holdings Ltd, to secure the banking arrangements of Victoria Beckham Ltdโ€. 

It also stated: โ€œAt the balance sheet date, the amount owed by Victoria Beckham Limited was ยฃ6,671,744.โ€

A spokesperson for Beckham Brand Holdings told Mail Online: โ€œThis misrepresents how their business operate. 

โ€œThere is a private holding company (Beckham Brand Holdings Ltd), owned equally by Victoria, David and Simon Fullerโ€™s XIX, which oversees all the Beckham businesses which reports a substantial profit for 2015. 

โ€œThese businesses may be funded in different ways at any point in time, which may entail a mixture of bank debt, intercompany loans or equity investment.โ€

Nicole Kidman Reveals She โ€˜Would Loveโ€™ To Have A Baby In 2017

'I still have the faintest hope that something may happen to me this year.'

Golden Globe nominee Nicole Kidman has opened up about her โ€œheartbreakโ€ trying to conceive  as she and Keith Urban plan on welcoming another baby. 



Kidman, 49, hopes to be a new mum again in 2017 telling The Mail, โ€œKeith and I would love to have more babies. My grandmother gave birth to my mother at 49. I would be beyond happy and just welcome it with open arms.โ€

The Lion star also spoke about her difficulties to conceive,  โ€œyou go through heartbreak again and again and then you start to tell yourself it might never happen. I honestly never believed I would actually give birth to a child, then at 41 I became a mother.

โ€œAfter so many years of trying, it was so against the odds. We went through a surrogacy with my second daughter because we wanted another child so much that it hurt. I felt my chances of conceiving again were slimmer and slimmer. And then we got Faith.โ€



โ€œI still have the faintest hope that something may happen to me this year,โ€ she said. 



Nicole gave birth to Sunday Rose, 8, shortly after her wedding to Keith and welcomed five-year-old Faith born through a surrogate. She also has two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise, Isabella, 25, and Connor, 21.

Tom Ackerley Just Shared The Most Adorable Photo Of Margot Robbie

Talk about relationship goals

Newlyweds Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley are back in the real world now following their romantic Aussie getaway where they went and got hitched.

Despite getting back to reality, Tom is clearly still basking in the glow as he uploaded a gorgeous snap of him and his bride on Instagram, writing โ€œSheโ€™s all thatโ€.

RELATED: The Beautiful Story Behind Margot Robbieโ€™s Wedding Dress

The pair tied the knot in a secret ceremony at Harvest, in Newrybar on the NSW north coast on December 18. 

While Margot has yet to officially confirm the union, the Suicide Squad star took to Instagram shortly after posting a pic of her engagement ring.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BOOYJdXj6Vs/

Margot and Tom met in 2013 on the set of Suite Franรงaise where Tom worked as an assistant director. 

โ€œI was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,โ€ she said. โ€œAnd then this crept up on me,โ€ she told US Vogue back in May.

โ€œWe were friends for so long,โ€ she said. โ€œI was always in love with him, but I thought, โ€˜Oh, he would never love me back. Donโ€™t make it weird, Margot.

This Is How The Pill Affects Your Sex Life

A study has shown some interesting results.

A study has recently shown that taking oral contraceptives can have a significant impact on your sex life.

Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the University of New Mexico conducted a study on the effects of different oral contraceptives on the sex lives of women. The results, published in the Evolution & Human Behavior journal found that in general, women taking oral contraceptives were having more sex.

RELATED: New Study Finds That The Contraceptive Pill Is Linked To Depression

This makes sense from a birth control perspective, however is curious given that a common side effect of taking the pill is a decreased sex drive.

The study also looked into how the balance of different hormones in oral contraceptives affected the amount of sex women were having.

Naturally, a womanโ€™s menstrual cycle is governed by estrogen and progesterone, with estrogen levels peaking at ovulation (along with sex drive) and progesterone levels peaking just before a womanโ€™s period.

RELATED: New Warnings For Women Using The Contraceptive Pill

Oral contraceptives naturally mimic these hormones, however some contain higher levels of estrogen or progesterone than others.

The study found that women using contraceptives with a higher level of estrogen had more sex with casual partners. However, women using contraceptives with a higher level of progesterone had more sex in a longterm relationship.

Itโ€™s certainly given more insight into how the pill affects your sex drive!

She has lost more than 60 kilos!

Brodie MacPherson, sister of Aussie actor Daniel Macpherson has recently revealed her incredible body transformation after shedding more than 60 kilograms by changing her lifestyle.

Taking to Instagram, the 25-yeear-old shared a before and after collage of her drmatic transformation.

โ€œJust when I started to tell myself that I didnโ€™t want to get up for F45 at 5:30am today, partly because itโ€™s raining, partly because Iโ€™m not the fittest one there, partly because I have irrational fear about group exercise ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I was reminded that the hard part is over,โ€ she captioned the snap.

Brodie went on to admit that, โ€œLife is about so much more than the number on the scales.โ€

She also shared a personal mantra with almost 4000 of her Instagram followers, โ€œFor me, itโ€™s about challenging yourself & fighting to become the person you want to be, not just in fitness and health โ€“ in all areas. Iโ€™m no Tony Robbins and Iโ€™ve still got a journey ahead. After all Iโ€™m just a former chubby girl who awkwardly loved leopard โ€“ but what Iโ€™ve learnt so far is that lifeโ€™s too short not to keep growing, keep pushing, keep fighting your fears, keep loving yourself and having fun. 2017, weโ€™re here to fight the good fight โœŒ๐Ÿป๏ธ.โ€

The gorgeous blonde also thanks her brother for inspiring her in some ways as he too has shared his own fitness journey in the past.

Robyn Lawley Shares Powerful Instagram Post Challenging Perceptions Of Body Image

Donโ€™t believe everything you see on social media

Aussie model Robyn Lawley is known for her fit and healthy figure and is an advocate for loving the skin youโ€™re in and challenging classic perceptions of beauty.

This week she took to Instagram to share a snap of herself wearing a new set of lingerie.

โ€œMy โ€˜Back in Brooklynโ€™ lingerie set from @weloveshag #handmade,โ€ she wrote alongside a black and white selfie.

She then followed it up with a second snap, in the same lingerie but with a different angle.

โ€œAnd just a reminder people how quickly somebody can look through a different angle and pose,โ€ she wrote.

โ€œAngles, retouching, position all can dramatically change a body. Iโ€™m content with my body and I only eat high quality local food, a lot I grew myself.โ€ 

The model, who is a mum to daughter Ripley, who turns two next month, also opened up about her healthy eating habits.

โ€œI believe the highest quality food is what is key, itโ€™s so rich you donโ€™t eat much and you need to eat a lot of local seasonal vegetables. And perhaps start a garden and nurture Mother ๐ŸŒŽ Nature back, #compost #growbiointensive#foodforthought #amazonian#robynlawleyeatsโ€.

The Aussie model has been outspoken in the past about challenging perceptions of body image, and has spoken out against the use of the term โ€œplus size modelโ€.

โ€œI find it kind of degrading. If the national average is a size 14, then we shouldnโ€™t be segregating people of that size. I feel healthy and natural at that size,โ€ she told the Daily Telegraph back in October.

The Top Box Office Movies Of The Past Four Years Have Had Leading Women

It's almost as if people like movies with women in them.

In extraordinary news, the top-hitting box office movies of the past four years have all been centred around lead female characters. Itโ€™s almost as if featuring women prominently in films still makes people want to see the movies!

As Buzzfeed points out, this is a particularly extraordinary feat given that a study conducted by San Diego State Universityโ€™s Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film showed that films with male characters made up 84% of top-grossing movies from 2013 โ€“ 2015.

RELATED: The Latest Pay Gap Figures Are In, And Theyโ€™re Not Good

And yet, from 2013 โ€“ 2016, the movies at the very top of the box office list have all had female leads.

Jennifer Lawrence played the assertive Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) and Hunger Games: Mockingjay โ€“ Part One (2014), which both topped the US box office in those years.

Meanwhile, Daisy Ridley did an extraordinary job in her breakthrough role of Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). This was particularly revolutionary for the Star Wars franchise, which is notorious for its lack of female characters (but of the few there are, they are famously strong).

In 2016 we saw the same trend, with Finding Dory topping the box office (Dory is a fish of course, but still female!), and Rogue One hitting the second spot with Felicity Jones as the lead.

RELATED: In Defence Of Judd Apatowโ€™s Female Characters

While this is an incredible result for women in film, what is so disheartening is the fact that women are still paid less than men in the industry. Itโ€™s clear that the argument that โ€˜women bring less people to cinemasโ€™ is not at all the case, and this is why itโ€™s so important for actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and Robin Wright to continue standing up for equal pay, and showing that this should be the expectation rather than the exception.

Hopefully this list of women in movies topping the box office will soon expand to including more women of colour, but this is certainly good progress for the film industry.

Thereโ€™s A Genius Secret Ingredient In KitKats And Our Mind Is Blown

It actually makes so much sense

When you taste something delicious, you just want more of the same and keep it coming, right?

Well thatโ€™s exactly what those clever people over at Nestle thought when they were concocting the humble KitKat.

Oh please, itโ€™s just chocolate and wafer we hear you say. Well if you said that youโ€™d be wrong wrong wrong.

RELATED: STOP EVERYTHING! There Is A Chocolate That Will Fix Your Period Pain

You know that layer between the wafers? The one they cleverly describe as the โ€œchocolayerโ€? Well itโ€™s actually smashed up KitKats according to the BBCโ€™s Inside the Factory program

Yep itโ€™s basically KitKat inception. Kit-ception? Too much?

Anyway so basically itโ€™s the KitKats that donโ€™t make the cut (for purely aesthetic reasons mind you), that then get broken up and go back into the production process.

Technicians go through the bars (yep thatโ€™s someoneโ€™s actual job) and remove any bars that arenโ€™t up to scratch and put them back through the process. Talk about recycling. 

Although we canโ€™t help but wonder how they made the first KitKatโ€ฆ

This Newspaper Made A Bizarre Mistake On The Front Page

Can you pick it?

The folks at Washington Post Express are probably feeling *pretty* embarrassed right now.

They made a big mistake on the front cover of their newspaper that the public is finding it very hard to overlook.

RELATED: The Glaring Mistake In Love Actually That You Canโ€™t Un-See

Their cover story was about a womenโ€™s rights march that is set to take place in Washington DC the day after Donald Trumpโ€™s inauguration. 150,000 women are expected to attend the march, so itโ€™s a pretty big story.

The only problem? Washington Post Express mistakenly used the male symbol for the holding image.

They tweeted out the cover, captioned โ€œTodayโ€™s cover: The Womenโ€™s March in Washington started on Facebook. Now itโ€™s expected to be the largest rally linked to the inauguration.

Washington Post Express

Naturally, the Internet jumped to correct them, sharing their takes on it.

https://twitter.com/samthielman/status/817022669564551168
https://twitter.com/card_sharp72/status/817031867149025280

The newspaper responded with a statement about the mistake, writing โ€œWe made a big mistake on our cover illustration this morning and weโ€™re very embarrassed about it. We erroneously used a male symbol instead of a female symbol. This is how the cover should have looked. We apologize for the mistake.โ€

Weโ€™re still not quite sure how this happened. But itโ€™s probably a great example of why Washington needs a womenโ€™s march in the first place.

Donald Trump Hires Controversial Apprentice Star For Key Role

The former reality star will join Trumpโ€™s transition team

Donald Trump might have fired Omarosa Manigault on three separate seasons of The Apprentice, but now heโ€™s gone and hired the reality star to join his administration as he prepares to take over the oval office later this month.

The president elect announced that the controversial star, who worked as his director of African-American outreach during his Presidential campaign, will assume the role of โ€œassistant to the President and Director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison focusing on issues such as community outreach,โ€ according to CNN.

RELATED: Melania Trumpโ€™s NYE Dress Causes Outrage Online

Her appointment will see her join Trumpโ€™s two sons, Donald Jr and Eric Trump, daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner as key members of his transition team.

Manigault, who prefers to go by only her first name, gained notoriety when she starred on the hit reality show first in 2004 and again on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011 and 2013. She was one of the showโ€™s most controversial characters, pegged as the โ€œvillainโ€ for her often volatile personality

This wonโ€™t be her first time working in the White House however it does come as a surprise as the former Democratic supporter worked briefly for Al Gore under the Bill Clinton administration however reports claim she left soon after due to โ€œdisruptiveโ€ behavior, reports News.com.au.  

She also previously campaigned for both Hillary Clinton in 2014 and Barack Obamaโ€™s re-election in 2012.

Omarossa reportedly โ€œchanged sidesโ€ when Trump became a candidate and made headlines in September 2016 when she declared โ€œevery critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trumpโ€.

โ€œIt is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe,โ€ she said.

โ€œItโ€™s so great our enemies are making themselves clear so that when we get in to the White House, we know where we stand,โ€ she then told the Independent Journal Review in November.

โ€œI would never judge anybody for exercising their right to and the freedom to choose who they want. But let me just tell you, Mr Trump has a long memory and weโ€™re keeping a list.โ€

Trumpโ€™s inauguration is due to take place on January 20.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harryโ€™s Relationship Is Going From Strength To Strength

Harryโ€™s just got the tick of approval from her family and her colleagues

With reports that Prince Harry met Meghan Markleโ€™s father on his most recent trip to Canada, it would seem this royal romance is starting to get serious.

And now the director of her upcoming film Anti-Social, Reg Traviss, has weighed in on the budding relationship, saying the couple โ€œmake senseโ€.

The film was shot in 2013-2014 (so long before Meghan and Harry were a couple), however when Traviss heard they were dating he thought that โ€œsort of makes senseโ€, not in small part due to their shared passion for charity work.

โ€œIt struck me at the time that she is an actress but her passion is charity, that kind of stuff,โ€ the director, who worked with the Suits star on her upcoming film Anti-Social, tells People.  

โ€œFrom what I can gather she knows a lot of people in London.โ€

He also gushed about Meghanโ€™s skills on set, describing her as the type of actor who โ€œhits their marks all the time, never fluffs a line and gets a script straight away.โ€

โ€œSheโ€™s a very good actress โ€” very, very professional and really well-trained. She can definitely lead a film โ€“ be it in an independent film like I work in or a Hollywood film โ€” thereโ€™s no two ways about that.โ€

The pair seem to be getting serious, with Meghanโ€™s half brother Thomas Markle Jr telling the Mail Online that Harry has the tick of approval from their father. 

โ€œHeโ€™s pretty happy about Harry and heโ€™s extremely proud of her,โ€ says Markl Jr.

โ€œThey [Meghan and her father] have an amazing relationship, theyโ€™re very close and they always have been. Sheโ€™s obviously happy because if she wasnโ€™t happy, she wouldnโ€™t be there.โ€

โ€œI think it is wonderful,โ€ he added. โ€œAs long as he takes care of and loves Meg, he doesnโ€™t have to do anything else โ€ฆ he looks like a genuinely good man, and he was in the services as well. He looks happy, he looks like heโ€™s stress-free and like he could be a good guy for Meg.โ€

Queen Elizabeth II Almost Shot Dead On Night Walk

She got quite a scare from this close call.

Queen Elizabeth II had a very close call at Buckingham Palace.

The Queen was on a late-night walk when a guardsman mistook her for an intruder, a journalist has revealed.

โ€œThe Queen is a fan of late-night walks. When she struggles to sleep she will sometimes put on a mac and walk around the palace grounds, an ex-guardsman told me,โ€ Grant Tucker wrote for the The Times.

โ€œOn one occasion he was patrolling inside the perimeter of the Palace walls at 3 a.m. when he spotted a figure in the darkness. Thinking that he had come across an intruder, he shouted: โ€˜Whoโ€™s that?โ€™ To his surprise it was the Queen.โ€

The unidentified guard said โ€œBloody hellโ€ before telling the Queen, 90, that he โ€œnearlyโ€ shot her.

The Queen and Kate Middleton

โ€œRealising that he had spoken out of turn, he waited for a dressing-down,โ€ Tucker continued. โ€œโ€˜Thatโ€™s quite all right,โ€™ Queen Elizabeth II replied. โ€˜Next time Iโ€™ll ring through beforehand so you donโ€™t have to shoot me.'โ€

The Queen has been sick of late with a โ€œheavy coldโ€, cancelling appearances at Christmas and New Yearโ€™s church services.

Prepare for a dose of nostalgia...

Stop everything and prepare to get magical again! 

Thatโ€™s right, your fave witches from 1998 โ€“ 2006 are coming back in a new TV reboot of Charmed!

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, learning that The CW network is teaming up with Jane The Virgin showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman to create the new series.

Though we know that the new series will be connected in some way to the old series, itโ€™s not clear how at this stage. It is being described as a โ€˜reimaginingโ€™ of the old show, set in 1976.

CBS announced three years ago that they would be remaking the show, however it never reached the development stage as original stars Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan did not support it.

Milano even took to Twitter to express her disapprovalโ€ฆ

However The CW will welcome the Charmed reboot as its popular series Vampire Diaries finishes up.

Weโ€™re still waiting for an air date, but stay tuned!

Alexis Bledel Is Returning To TV With This Exciting New Role

And it is quite different from Gilmore Girls!

Alexis Bledel captured the hearts of many when she returned as Rory in the Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix last year, but now sheโ€™s taking on a challenging new role.

She recently revealed that she will be playing a supporting role in Huluโ€™s TV series adaptation of Margaret Atwoodโ€™s iconic speculative fiction novel, The Handmaidโ€™s Tale (1985).

RELATED: Alexis Bledel Confirms Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants Reunion Is Happening

For those who havenโ€™t read the novel, it is devastatingly bleak, set in a world where women are entirely subjugated to men โ€“ as mothers, wives and servants. It follows a woman called Offred (literally โ€˜Of-Fredโ€™) who serves as a โ€˜handmaidโ€™, a woman who is designated to different men when required for reproductive purposes.

The novel explores the ways that women take agency and rebel against their lack of rights, following the illegal affair between Offred and the man she is designated to.

In the TV series adaptation, Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men) is set to play Offred, while Alexis Bledel will be playing Ofglen, a fellow handmaid who develops a complex relationship with Offred while the affair is going on.

Hereโ€™s the first look at her costume in the showโ€ฆ

Bartender Saves Unsuspecting Woman From Being Drugged

'I swapped the drinks and watched him drug himself'

A bartender has revealed how his quick thinking saved an unsuspecting woman from being slipped a date rape drug and potentially assaulted.

The bartender, who revealed the story anonymously via social media app Whisper, says they watched a man attempt to drug a womanโ€™s drink, but thankfully managed to distract him long enough to switch the drinks.

โ€œIโ€™m a bartender,โ€ the post read. โ€œLast night I saw a guy drug a girlโ€™s drink.โ€

โ€œWhen he wasnโ€™t looking I switched the drinks. Watched the guy drug himself.โ€

This isnโ€™t the first time an everyday hero has stepped in to prevent date rape, last year a Facebook post by three women who stopped a man from drugging his dateโ€™s drink went viral. 

RELATED: These Three Women Saved A Stranger From Date Rape

The ladies managed to intercept the woman in the bathroom and prevent her from drinking the drink.

While these stories of people stepping in and looking out for each other are inspiring, reports of sexual assaults are still on the rise in Australia and are currently at a six-year high, with four out of five victims being female.

However the reality is that the real numbers are much higher due to many incidents going unreported. According to the Fullstop Foundation, it is estimated that about 126,000 incidents of indecent or sexual assault occur annually in Australia, with only around 17 per cent of these being reported.  

To stay safe and avoid having your drink spiked, the Australian Drug And Alcohol Foundation recommends:

  • Avoid sharing drinks
  • Donโ€™t accept drinks from people you donโ€™t know well or trust
  • Many people have their drinks spiked by someone they know. To avoid this, buy or pour your own drinks
  • Keep an eye on your friends and their drinks

There are a number of recent movements across the US and UK to help keep people safe while out drinking, including โ€œAsking for Angelaโ€ or ordering an Angel shot.

A restaurant in St. Petersburg, Florida is doing its bit to help combat sexual assault, posting instructions in the bathroom on how to get waitstaff to help.

โ€œIs your Tinder date not who they said they were on their profile? Do you feel unsafe or even just a tad bit weird?โ€ If so, the sign advises, order an angel shot.

According to The Tampa Bay Times, โ€œif a guest orders an angel shot neat, a bartender will escort them to their car. If they order it with ice, the bartender will call an Uber or a Taxi. Order it with lime and the restaurant staff will call the police.โ€

This comes after the โ€œAsk for Angelaโ€ initiative in the UK went viral, which gives women a codeword to let bar staff know they are in an unsafe situation.

The initiative was created by the Lincolnshire Rape Crisis, a support service for women and girls in East England.

New Mums Are Being Pushed Out Of Hospital Hours After Giving Birth, Says AMA

The Australian Medical Association says more needs to be done to support new mums

According to the Australian Medical Association (AMA) it is becoming increasingly more common for hospitals to discharge new mums and their babies as soon as four hours after giving birth.

The move, which has been described as a cost-saving measure, is seeing vulnerable mothers being discharged before their breast milk has come in and before they have had the chance to properly recover from the ordeal of labour.

โ€œItโ€™s very simply a cost-saving exercise,โ€ Dr Gannon, obstetrician and President of the AMA, tells ABC

โ€œNot only have they had a long pregnancy and the ordeal of labour, but we are then sending them home to look after their baby.

โ€œSurely the fourth richest country in the world can do better than send women home four hours after their babies are born.โ€

Dr Gannon says we need to support new mothers in properly caring for their children, breastfeeding and help prevent post-natal depression.

RELATED: Grieving Mum Receives $1.8 Million After Newborn Dies

โ€œIf we are really serious about post-natal depression prevention, and we should be, if we are serious about supporting women in breastfeeding, and we should be, if we are serious about giving our children the best possible start in life, then this trend surely has to stop,โ€ Dr Gannon continued.

โ€œWe need a bit more compassion and care in looking after women who have given birth to babies.โ€

A spokesperson for Western Australiaโ€™s Health Department has denied Dr Gannonโ€™s claims, stating the hospitals do not discharge anyone unless it is appropriate to do so.

โ€œIf there are clinical circumstances that mean the timeframes are not appropriate, then mother and baby will remain in hospital until they are ready for discharge,โ€ the spokesman tells ABC.

โ€œFollowing discharge, women receive continued care from the Visiting Midwifery Service up to five days following birth.

โ€œCurrent, contemporary, evidence-based practice indicates that it is beneficial for patients to be cared for in their home environment when clinically appropriate.โ€

Chilling Video About Murder Victim Kayleigh Haywoodโ€™s Last Days Of Life Is A Warning To Parents

It shows the signs of online grooming for rape and murder.
Police Handout

Just over a year after 15-year-old Kayleigh Hayward was groomed online and brutally raped and murdered, police have created a horrifying film depicting her final 13 days of life.

Mirror reports the British teenager began chatting online to a man called Luke Harlow two weeks before the murder. Her father dropped her off outside her school, thinking that she was staying overnight with her best friend, when really she was meeting up with Harlow. Her father, Martin, was the last person to see her alive on November 13, 2015.

When Kayleigh arrived at the manโ€™s flat, he gave her alcohol and sexually assaulted her. The next day, she was raped and murdered by landscape gardener Stephen Beadman, who Harlow had invited over.

Kayleighโ€™s friend Katie Simpson told the court that the last she heard from Kayleigh was a simple text, which read: โ€˜helpโ€™.

โ€œAt about 3.15pm on November 13 Kayleigh messaged me and said she couldnโ€™t come over because she was staying with her auntie that weekend,โ€ Katie said.

โ€œI woke up at about 6am or 7am the next day and I had a message from Kayleigh sent at 9.30pm the night before which said โ€˜Helpโ€™.

โ€œI asked her straight away what do you mean. She texted back straight away, โ€˜I meant hello.โ€™

โ€œHer messages were unusual that weekend, and didnโ€™t sound like her.โ€

Stephen Beadman was sentenced to life imprisonment for the rape, false imprisonment and murder of Kayleigh Hayward, and Luke Harlow was sentenced to 12 years in jail for false imprisonment and grooming.

Leicester Police have worked with Kayleighโ€™s parents to make this powerful video called โ€˜Kayleighโ€™s Love Storyโ€™ about her final 13 days of life as a warning to teenagers talking to strangers online, and their parents who may not notice the warning signs.

Leicestershireโ€™s Deputy Chief Constable Roger Bannister said: โ€œWhat happened to Kayleigh was horrific but we are pleased that some good is coming from the awful tragedy and that this film is raising far greater awareness of the dangers of online grooming and the signs that it may be happening.โ€

There Was A Spice Girls Reunion On NYE And It Was Everything

Posh + Sporty = Perfection

Despite having to come to terms with the fact that weโ€™ll probably never see an official Spice Girls reunion ever again, at least we can hope for mini impromptu ones!

Thatโ€™s just what happened when David and Victoria Beckham threw a New Years Eve party in the Maldives (oh to have been there) when they enlisted pal Melanie Chisholm to perform.

When she played a Spice Girl classic, there was nothing Victoria could do but join her onstage. 

As Sporty belted out โ€œ2 Become 1โ€ Victoria became Posh again โ€“ if only just for a moment โ€“ to sing and sway along, and she even threw in a few signature peace signs for good measure.

Despite the mini reunion, the pair are the only two members of the band who have said they wonโ€™t be joining fellow members Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell for an official reunion.

โ€œThe other two bโ€”โ€“s didnโ€™t want to do it,โ€ Mel B told James Corden on The Late Late Show.

โ€œLet me correct that. My other two fellow lovely ladies โ€” you know Victoria [Beckham] is busy with her great fashion line, Mel C is doing her own album โ€” so they politely declined but gave us their blessing.โ€

โ€˜Gone Girlโ€™ Kidnap Victim Faces Online Abuse Years After She Was Abducted

Trolls are claiming that she 'faked' the events.

In March 2015, Denise Huskins made headlines when she was held at gunpoint in her home, drugged and kidnapped, then dropped off at her motherโ€™s house two days later.

Her boyfriend Aaron Quinn was also drugged and put in a closet, yet many people struggled to believe their story when police publicly expressed skepticism about the case. Police claimed that Quinn and Huskinsโ€™ didnโ€™t โ€˜actโ€™ like victims โ€“ as Huskins did not meet with her parents in the days after she was found, and Quinnโ€™s version of the story didnโ€™t add up.

In March 2016, Denise Huskins and her boyfriend sued the Vallejo police department for defamation, false arrest and false imprisonment, however Vallejo city argued that public statements made by police were protected under the stateโ€™s โ€˜absolute immunityโ€™.

PEOPLE reports that though suspect Matthew Muller has since been arrested, pleading guilty to kidnapping in September 2016, and is scheduled to be sentenced in March this year, Denise Huskins is still facing abuse from online trolls.

RELATED: Kidnapped Jaycee Dugard Opens Up About Her Daughters Born In Captivity

Huskins recently took to Facebook to increase awareness about the effects that online trolls can have on sufferers of PTSD. She shared a screenshot of an aggressive message she received over Facebook.

The message read, โ€œAre you that horrible lying woman who faked her own kidnapping??? Oh wow you are such a horrible person. You are going to hell for the [stuff] u have done. Iโ€™d like to slap you a few timesโ€ฆ. And just so u known, ur not as pretty as u think. Iโ€™d put u at being 5 outta 10.โ€


She went on to explain why fixing the problem isnโ€™t as simple as just โ€˜ignoringโ€™ the messages.

โ€œUnfortunately this is just one example of countless messages like this that I have received,โ€ she wrote. โ€œAnd like the ones before this, unfortunately this guy won. After reading this I went into one of my many PTSD episodes of terror.

โ€œMy jaw and back are sore from the deep powerful shaking and reflexive tension that my whole body goes into. My eyes are sore and red from uncontrollable tears. I am thoroughly exhausted, every inch of my body is tired from the fit of terror it was battling.

โ€œThis was his goal, and I couldnโ€™t fight it. Congratulations, person I have never met, never heard of who hates me so much that he went out of his way to message me this disgusting, demeaning, dehumanizing outrage.โ€

She ended the message by encouraging people to think twice before spreading hate in 2017.

โ€œWe must admit that there are many things that we donโ€™t know, even if we so strongly believe certain things. It does no one, especially ourselves, any good to blindly judge, spreading hate and anger. We may be wrong, or misinformed. Please keep that in mind when thinking of new beginnings in this new year.โ€

Melbourne Strip Club Finally Addresses Mysterious Death Of Stacey Tierney

Police are still investigating circumstances surrounding her death

โ€œThe Owners, staff and management of Dreams Gentlemenโ€™s Club extend their sincere sympathies and condolences to the family and friends of Stacey Tierney, who recently passed away,โ€ the club said in a statement posted on its Facebook page.

โ€œWe will continue to co-operate with and assist Victoria Police with their ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding Staceyโ€™s death, however, until such time as all the facts are known and the Police investigation has concluded, we are unable to make any further comment or statements in relation to this matter.โ€

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding her death after her body was discovered in the club at 11:50am on the Monday, almost 12 hours after she is thought to have died.

Ms Tierney had reportedly been with a group of men in a private area on the Sunday evening, News.com.au reports that the men left the club after she died.

Homicide investigators are currently awaiting toxicology results to determine the cause of death and are reviewing CCTV footage, however private areas of the venue are not recorded.

โ€œThe exact circumstances surrounding the English womanโ€™s death are yet to be determined and a post-mortem will be conducted,โ€ a police spokeswoman told 9News.

RELATED: Woman Found Dead Inside Melbourne Strip Club Had Reportedly Been There For 12 Hours

Following news of her death, the clubโ€™s Facebook page became inundated with angry messages over the incident and for deleting comments. 

โ€œPutting your reputation and appearance over the value of that young womanโ€™s life?โ€ wrote one user. โ€œIโ€™m disgusted that you havenโ€™t even acknowledged what has happened, shame on you.โ€ 



โ€œStop deleting peopleโ€™s posts RE: the death of Stacey Tierney,โ€ 
wrote another. โ€œYour establishment has so far made zero public acknowledgement of the fact that this has even happened. This is a beyond shameful and beyond disrespectful way for you to be responding.โ€ 



โ€œShame on you all โ€“ carrying on like nothing has happened,โ€
 added another. โ€œRest in peace beautiful lady.โ€

Ms Tierney, a fitness instructor from Manchester ยญEngland, had been working at the club for around five weeks after traveling around the country, and had hoped to one day become a nurse.

  

โ€œShe was โ€” and still will be โ€”my beautiful niece, a hard working young lady who was full of life and a lovely personality,โ€ her uncle Graham Tierney told News.com.au. 

Added that her father, Stephen, was heartbroken by the loss of his โ€œbeautifulโ€ daughter.

โ€œWe are finding it difficult to get information, and realise there is an investigation regarding the suspicious circumstances.โ€

  

Her ex-boyfriend, Matthew Girvan, also took to Facebook to share his heartbreak over the news.

โ€œWoke up to some horrible news this morning. Sat and watched the sunrise over Indonesia. My ex girlfriend I was with for 6 years passed away. Words canโ€™t describe how devastated I am.โ€

Her family back in the UK are now making arrangements to return her body home, setting up a GoFundMe page which has raised almost $20,000.

Kayla Boyd Pens Powerful Post About Her Decision To Have An Abortion After Suffering A Miscarriage

โ€˜I felt sad, I felt lost, I felt confused and I felt scared sh*tlessโ€™
A man, woman, and child standing together outdoors, with trees and plants in the background.

Kayla Boyd, wife of NRL star Darius Boyd, has opened up about her decision to terminate her pregnancy following a heartbreaking miscarriage earlier in the year.

The 29-year-old mother of one shared her story in a blog post about New Years resolutions on her website, Adored by Kayla Boyd.

โ€œItโ€™s crazy to think that if I didnโ€™t miscarry back in April last year, that we would have had our second baby in December just gone,โ€ she wrote.

โ€œThe miscarriage really affected me, my nana passed away the week prior and I guess finding out that we were expecting was some positive news for our family. To then miscarry, it was just another sad loss that I had to deal with.

โ€œThen on the 2nd of August I found out that we were 7 weeks pregnant. But this time it didnโ€™t quite feel the same. For whatever reason I didnโ€™t feel happy about it, I felt sad, I felt lost, I felt confused and I felt scared sh*tless.โ€

Boyd, who suffered form Hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness) for almost all of her first pregnancy, says the thought of going through that again so soon would make her go โ€œcrazyโ€.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNjBpE6DdEc/?taken-by=kaylaboyd_

โ€œWillow was at an age where she was so much more full on than when she was only 6 months old when I miscarried, she was a breezy newborn so in April I was like hell yeah I can have four of these nuggets easy! But as you know, the older they get the more and more full on they become. Thatโ€™s when I realised, I couldnโ€™t do it all. I was no longer the superwoman I thought I was. But the reality for me was, I couldnโ€™t have an 18 month old, a newborn and continue to do all the things I had committed to career-wise in 2017.

โ€œIn the end after discussing it with Darius I chose to be selfish. And I do at times feel selfish for making that decision. Especially when there are women who struggle with falling pregnant and obviously there are those who are extremely against terminations. I continue to remind myself that it was the right choice for me, and the right choice for our family.

Knowing her post would ultimately receive some backlash, Boyd preceded it by writing โ€œThis is my story, donโ€™t judge. If you donโ€™t like it simply exit,โ€ however critics were quick to attack.

Taking to Instagram, she addressed the criticism. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BOzZx6yB7Z8/?taken-by=kaylaboyd_

โ€œItโ€™s gobsmacking at how people misinterpret things, I did not get an abortion because I was afraid of miscarrying again, that was not the sole reason that lead me to make that choice, I had about 10 reasons,โ€ she wrote.

โ€œImportantly, I terminated because it wasnโ€™t the right time in my life to have another child and it was the right decision for me and my family!

โ€œIโ€™m sincerely sorry that my own personal choices (that donโ€™t affect any single one of you), disgust you, I apologise that itโ€™s so disturbing and I will try to keep my legs closed as told.โ€

The couple, who are parents to one-year-old daughter Willow, say they would love to eventually have three children and are hoping to try again in a years time.

Ryan Reynolds Reveals The Heartwarming Effect Blake Lively Has Had On Him

He opens up about his struggle with anxiety.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are one of Hollywoodโ€™s most loved-up couples, and Ryan opened up in a recent interview about one of the profound effects Blake has had on him.

Pulling off the character of Deadpool was an enormous amount of pressure on Ryan Reynolds, as the comics have such a large and passionate fan base, and he told Variety that anxiety hit him hard while working on the movie.

RELATED: Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Celebrated Jamesโ€™ Birthday At Disneyland

โ€œI never, ever slept,โ€ he said. โ€œOr I was sleeping at a perfect right angle โ€” just sitting straight, constantly working at the same time.โ€

He said that things really started to hit him once the movie was in post-production and he started meeting the fans.

โ€œBy the time we were in post, weโ€™d been to Comic-Con, and people went crazy for it. The expectations were eating me alive.โ€

RELATED: Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Make Their First Public Appearance

However Blake was the rock he needed to push past the anxiety.

โ€œBlake helped me through that,โ€ Reynolds says. โ€œIโ€™m lucky to have her around just to keep me sane.โ€

Now, the movie is a rumoured to be a hot contender at the Oscars, particularly after the Academy expanded the Best Picture category seven years ago to as many as 10 movies, which gave superhero movies like The Dark Knight more of a chance at competing.

Deadpool is the first live-action comic-book movie to be nominated for Best Picture at the Golden Globes, and Ryan Reynolds has also been nominated for Best Actor, so it seems that his hard work really has paid off.

Wife of Istanbul terror suspect claims she โ€œdidnโ€™t knowโ€ of ISIS connections

Turkey terrorism suspect is still on the run after killing 39

The wife of the man suspected of shooting 39 people in a Turkish nightclub on New Yearโ€™s Day claims she knew nothing of his murderous plans.

 

 

The alleged gunman travelled to Turkey with his wife and two children on November 20. He is said to have told his wife that he was going away in search of work on the Thursday the attacks took place.

 

She told police she only learned about the attacks days later on TV.

 

The Haberturk newspaper in Turkey reported that the killer, who has not been formally identified or detained, likely brought his family with him to avoid suspicion from Turkeyโ€™s security services. Young men are more closely scrutinised coming into the country if they are on their own.

 

 

The Turkish newspaper Hurriyet says the woman says she had no idea her husband was connected to ISIS in any way.

 

However experts including Turkish police believe he is a trained gunman who learned how to fight during the ongoing Syrian civil war.

Princess Leiaโ€™s Famous Hairstyle Has A Fascinating Backstory

It's not what you'd expect...

With the sad news of Carrie Fisherโ€™s death, the world has been looking back at her most iconic films like When Harry Met Sally and The Blues Brothers โ€“ but of course itโ€™s hard to look past the Star Wars franchise.

Fisherโ€™s role as Princess Leia inspired a whole generation of girls to believe that a princess can do her own rescuing, so it makes sense that even her characterโ€™s hairstyle was inspired by strong women in history.

RELATED: Carrie Fisherโ€™s Life After Leia

George Lucas revealed in a 2002 interview with Time that he was looking for something more than just fashion. He looked back to the women of the Mexican revolution and drew inspiration from their hairstyles.

โ€œIn the 1977 film, I was working very hard to create something different that wasnโ€™t fashion,โ€ he said. โ€œI went with a kind of Southwestern Pancho Villa woman revolutionary look, which is what that is. The buns are basically from turn-of-the-century Mexico.โ€

Star Wars fan recently took to Facebook to remind people of the revelation after seeing an exhibit about the characters. 

โ€œWas at the Star Wars exhibit at the Denver Museum of Art recently and learned that her iconic hairdo was lovingly hijacked from women of the Mexican revolution. This is how you defeat the empire.โ€ he wrote.

Itโ€™s encouraging to see these strong female characters with strong origins (down to their hairstyles!) in film, and Princess Leia certainly was a trailblazer.

Melania Trumpโ€™s NYE Dress Causes Outrage Online

The future FLOTUS' latest fashion choice has caused controversy yet again

While many designers have come out swinging against incoming First Lady Melania Trump, it seems Dolce & Gabbana are staying out of the sartorial coup.

Melania stepped out in one of the high-end Italian designers looks on New Years Eve, rocking a $3304 LBD to welcome 2017 with her husband, President Elect Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida.

Stefano Gabbana took to Instagram to share his pride at seeing the future FLOTUS in their design.

While a number of fans celebrated photo, many took offense and expressed their disappointment and anger at the designer for dressing the controversial First Lady.

โ€œDear @stefanogabba โ€“ I have been a fan for ages, but I just want to say how truly disappointed I am. The brand that used to stand for something has now disintegrated in front of my eyes. D&G held values dear, which coupled with outstanding designs, topped any other brand,โ€ wrote one user.

โ€œI respect your decision to focus merely on business, but I find such inner ugliness covered by the best money can buy โ€“ disturbing to say the least. All the best, and Iโ€™m not wearing nything by D&G any more.โ€

Gabanna responded to a number of the comments, clarifying that Melania purchased the dress herself.

โ€œI like Melania sheโ€™s a beautiful woman,โ€ Gabbana replied in the comments section, adding that he โ€œ[doesnโ€™t] careโ€ about the backlash and calling critics โ€œignorantโ€, according to USA Today.

โ€œIf a woman buys a dress in our shop I should throw it out?โ€ he responded to another user in Italian. โ€œAre you crazy?โ€

The backlash comes after a number of high-profile designers including Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam, Phillip Lim and Sophie Theallet who have spoken out saying they will not dress Melania.

โ€œI have no interest whatsoever in dressing Melania Trump,โ€ said Jacobs. โ€œPersonally, Iโ€™d rather put my energy into helping out those who will be hurt by [Donald] Trump and his supporters.โ€

While many designers have remained quiet, a handful of designers have however publicly declared they will support the First Lady including Diane Von Furstenberg and Tommy Hilfiger.

โ€œAny first lady should be respected like any first lady,โ€ Von Furstenberg told USA TODAY. โ€œIf you are first lady, you represent America.โ€

โ€œAny designer should be proud to dress her,โ€ adds Hilfiger.

Woman who likes being walked on a leash goes missing

Anna Teshu, one half of the pair known as the โ€œleash coupleโ€ hasnโ€™t been seen since Christmas Eve

 

Anna Teshu, one half of the pair known as the โ€œleash coupleโ€ hasnโ€™t been seen since Christmas Eve

 

 

 

A 23-year-old New York woman who became an internet sensation as one half of the โ€œleash coupleโ€ has disappeared, The New York Post reports.

 

Anna Teshu and her then-fiance Nathan Riely became famous in 2015 after posting a series of instagram shots of Anna being led around New York on a chain.

 

The couple explained the leash was part of a BDSM activity called โ€œpuppy play.โ€ Teshu referred to herself as โ€œXenu, Nathanโ€™s puppyโ€ and would walk around shopping centres and other public places on all hours, even stopping to drink in water fountains like a dog.โ€™

 

At the time, The Daily Mail reports, the couple said they found Teshuโ€™s chain leash and spiked collar more romantic than a wedding ring and said their sex life was โ€˜normalโ€™.

 

Ironically, the couple were charged with animal cruelty after their German Shepherd, Scout, was locked in a hot car and died.

 

Teshu was found to be unable to stand trial because of mental incompetence.

 

Teshu is now believed to be in a new โ€˜puppy playโ€™ relationship with a man called Paul Matranga and has posted pics of herself in recent years wearing a leash and muzzle. She regularly posted pictures of herself taking naps in a cage on Facebook.

 

 

Puppy play

She was last seen at her motherโ€™s home at around 10:30OM wearing a black jacket, black shirt and black boots.

Lily Allenโ€™s shock sexual assault revelation

The Smile singer tweeted that sheโ€™d โ€œonly ever been sexually assaulted by white malesโ€

Singer Lily Allen claimed she has been sexually assaulted by โ€œwhite malesโ€ during a Twitter stoush with a UK white nationalist.

 

 

 

Allen and Former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson began by exchanging barbs over the identity of the terrorist who killed 39 people in a Turkish nightclub this week, with Allen objecting to his being labelled a โ€œmigrantโ€ in a newspaper headline when there was no evidence.

 

Robinson shot back, calling the singer a โ€œf***ing idiotโ€ and accusing Allen her of โ€œvirtue signallingโ€.

 

Robinson then went on to detail ways he believes Islamic males were responsible for sexual assaults, which prompted Allen to retort โ€œIโ€™ve only ever been sexually assaulted by white makes so I feel slightly biased.โ€

 

 

Allen later added, โ€œPeople need to realise the reality of how white males and their attitudes towards our laws continue to threaten our values and communities.โ€

 

Twitter was quick to both defend and attack Allen, with many applauding her for her bravery in speaking out about sexual assault:

Inevitably, the victim-blaming also piled on:

โ€œFor those asking, Kim Burrell will not be appearing on my show,โ€ she confirmed.

 

Ellen was being urged to ban an the controversial gospel singer who was caught on film saying gays and lesbians are โ€œpervertsโ€.

 

Just two days before the new year, gospel singer Kim Burrell told a church congregation: โ€œYou play with the homosexual spirit in Godโ€™s house and youโ€™ll die from it in 2017.โ€

The rant, which was broadcast on Facebook Live also called gays โ€œserpentsโ€.

 

โ€œYou as a man, you open your mouth and take a manโ€™s penis in your face, you are perverted,โ€ she said. โ€œYou are a woman and will shake your face in another womanโ€™s breast, you are perverted.โ€

 

You can watch the whole distasteful video here. 

 

The singer is due to appear on Ellenโ€™s show this week with Pharrell, to sing the lead track from the film Hidden Figures.

 

Ellenโ€™s fans have taken to social media to demand she cancel Burrellโ€™s appearance, and her costars in the film have equally condemned her hatred..

Singer Janelle Monae, who also appears in the film, has condemned her colleagueโ€™s rant, saying โ€œI unequivocally repudiate ANY AND ALL hateful comments against the LGBTQ community.โ€ She added, โ€œToday and tomorrow and the next day I will continue to stand with other like minded people who condemn any and all statements and actions that would seek to deny the basic humanity of our fellow brothers and sisters. We cannot sit Idly by nor will we speak silently when we are confronted with such violence against members of our community.โ€

 

Burrell took to Facebook to make an apology โ€“ of sorts โ€“ saying, โ€œTo every person who is dealing with a homosexual spirit I love you because God loves you, but God hates the sin in you and me.โ€

 

Ellen is yet to comment on the scandal, and at time of writing Burrell was still booked to appear on the show.

Young mother dies on Facebook โ€ฆ and no one helped her

Thousands reportedly watched Keiana take her last breath.

Keiana Herndon was doing what so many of us do around the world โ€“ documenting her every day life via social media. The 26-year-old was broadcasting to family and friends on Facebook Live on December 28, about her plans to go back to school, and showing off her one-year-old son Rylee.

 

 

Horrifyingly, partway through the video she begins gasping for air and wiping her face. Herndonโ€™s aunt Barbara Johnson told KATV in Arkasas that her niece collapsed as her young son could be heard screaming in the background.

 

And most horrifyingly of all, her family reports, the number of people watching the broadcast actually increased as the dreadful drama unfolded.

 

โ€œThe views went from two or three, to too many,โ€ Keianaโ€™s uncle Jeffrey Herndon told Arkansas Matters.

 

Keiana had over 3400 Facebook friends though itโ€™s unclear how many were watching.

 

KATV reported that thousands watched the video before it was removed from Facebook.

 

It wasnโ€™t for another 30 minutes that a friend showed up to help Keiana as she lay on the floor. But by then it was too late.

โ€œItโ€™s amazing for someone to sit there and see somebody or hear them take their last breath and nobody did anything,โ€ said Keianaโ€™s father Richard. โ€œSo, I want to take my hat off to everybody that actual did something.โ€

 

โ€œFor her to leave two kids so young. So early is โ€ฆ I donโ€™t know how to deal with it,โ€ said Richard.

 

โ€œAs soon as she fell and she didnโ€™t grab the phone back, they should have done something,โ€ her half-sister Keishun Brown told the New York Daily News.

 

Keianaโ€™s friends say she had an ongoing thyroid problem which she had recently learned could be life-threatening, although the exact cause of death has not been determined.

 

A GoFundMe page set up to support the young mumโ€™s two little boys described Keiana as a โ€œbeautiful, free spirited and loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.โ€
