Lala Kent has spoken about coparenting daughter Ocean with former fiancé Randall EmmettOpening up during the Tuesday, November 19, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen , Kent, 34, said she and Emmett, 53, have found common ground in caring for the four-year-old."We have come to a place where, it's like, we have one thing in common and that is this child and what is best for her and you have productive conversations," Kent told Cohen, 56, on the show. "It's not always golden."The Vanderpump Rules star, who became engaged to Emmett, a film producer, in 2018 and welcomed Ocean while still engaged to him in March 2021, explained that she made peace with the challenges that often come with coparenting."I'm, like, a really fun ride, you know, I'll take you on a rollercoaster. One day we're good and then the next day he pisses me off," Kent explained. "It's all good. We always come back to Ocean and her wellbeing."Kent, who welcomed her second child , daughter Sosa, via intrauterine insemination (IUI) on September 3, and Emmett called off their engagement in 2021 with an insider telling Us Weekly at the time that, "Randall did not want to split but it was Lala's decision. The trust is gone."The announcement came one month after breakup speculation was sparked when Kent "liked" a meme about Emmett allegedly cheating on her. The "like" also coincided with Kent deleting photos of Emmett from her social media.During an appearance on the "Melissa Gorga on Display" podcast in December 2021, Kent spoke candidly about how the breakup impacted her day-to-day life as a mother to Ocean. "I wonder often where I'm getting strength from and obviously I see my daughter and I know exactly where my strength is from, but I'd be lying to you if I said that, you know, this whole experience has been traumatizing and it haunts me daily," Kent said at the time.In March 2022, Kent went public with cheating accusations against Emmett, addressing the subject within the comments section of an Instagram post that month. "I was alone during most of my pregnancy and for the first 7 months of her life, until the mask fell and I saw who he really was. He started a relationship with a 23 year old in march of 2021 — the month I gave birth," she wrote.Kent's public claims were followed by her April 2022 update on coparenting Ocean. "We parallel parent, and I'm trying to move to zero contact," Kent said during an appearance on WWHL.

Dr. Katrina Watson has remembered the grief she felt when her beloved dog Toby passed away 14 years ago. The famously happy border collie, who died in 2010, was the 56-year-old's co-star on Seven's long-running pet show Harry's Practice (1997-2003). 'We had to put out a media release when Toby passed away, as the whole of Australia was behind me,' she said recalling the pain of her family loss. 'I had to go to Los Angeles for seven days soon after, and when I came home, that's when it hit me because the house was empty,' she confessed to Woman's Day on Wednesday. She added that it was not easy for some pet owners to share their grief over losing a pet, because it was a loss that some people have difficulty understanding. 'The more we talk about death the easier that [grieving] process is. It's a really tricky conversation for a lot of people.' Since her time on the hit lifestyle show, Katrina has built up a career as a pet influencer. Elsewhere in the chat Katrina shared how she has been able to guide pet owners through their grief via her online content. 'I do a lot around supporting people through pet loss, and that gives me enormous satisfaction,' she told the publication. Katrina's videos feature her new border collie Chilli. It comes after Katrina opened up about the loss of Toby earlier this year during an episode of the Jess Rowe Big Talk Show . Known as Toby the Wonderdog, Katrina's beloved companion also featured in the Channel Ten children's program Totally Wild. 'He was part of my identity,' an emotional Katrina confessed during the podcast, which first dropped in May. And Katrina offered advice to anyone suffering from the loss of a beloved pet. Admitting that she struggles with her grief, she told listeners: 'You just need to go through the grief.' The vet added that it's important to have people around who can offer support and sympathise. 'Unfortunately, we have this world of people who say things like ''it's just a cat. It's replaceable. Get another one",' she continued. 'Those sorts of comments make people just hide behind a door. 'All you can do to manage it is to keep yourself busy. One day the tears turn into smiles when you think of the memories.' Katrina rose to fame on Channel 10 children's program Totally Wild in 1994. She went on to appear on Seven's Harry's Practice as a resident vet alongside Dr. Chris Brown from 1997 to 2003. Warren later hosted Beverly Hills Vet in 2003 and Housecat Housecall in 2008 on Animal Planet in the U.S.

Demi Moore looked simply ageless as she joined Julianne Moore and Selena Gomez at the starry Elle Women In Hollywood event in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. The Substance star, 62 — who recently stunned at the Governors Awards — hit the red carpet in a reflective beaded gown that showed off her slim figure. The sexy sleeveless frock had an ombre-style color pattern that faded from antique silver to a rich brown shade. She paraded around the swanky Four Seasons Hotel in a pair of strappy bronze heels. Adding even more glamour to the look, Moore accessorized with dangly jewel earrings. Moore's long silky hair was swept over one shoulder and styled in loose curls. As for makeup, the mother-of-three rocked smokey eyeshadow, a pink stained lip and luminous peach blush on her cheeks. Moore showed plenty of personality during her time in front of cameras as she playfully kicked up her heels. She reunited with a slew of old pals on the red carpet, including fellow 80s starlet Melanie Griffith, comedian Rosie O'Donnell and Tom Hanks' country singer wife Rita Wilson. Julianne Moore turned heads in a demure red dress that complimented her porcelain complexion. The Oscar-winner, 63, wore her signature red hair sleek and straight for the A-list event. She kept her makeup light and natural with just a hint of blush on her cheeks and shimmery gold eyeshadow on her lids. Selena Gomez looked picture perfect as she modeled a black bedazzled jumpsuit. It featured a plunging neckline, satin lapels and a satin belt that cinched in her already tiny waist. The Emilia Perez star, 32, rocked a chic bob haircut and fierce winged eyeliner. Her makeup artist added false lashes to the out corners of her eyes to amplify the glamorous look. She happily reunited with her Emilia Perez co-star Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofía Gascón. Saoirse Ronan looked ethereal as she arrived to the event wearing a tan strapless gown. The Lady Bird star, 30, wore her dirty blonde hair in an effortless updo with pieces left out to frame her face. She strolled down the red carpet in black heeled sandals and she kept accessories to a minimum. Eva Longoria exuded bombshell glamour in a glittery gold one-shoulder gown. The Desperate Housewives alum, 49, wore her long brunette hair in Old Hollywood-inspired waves that were swept over one shoulder. The sparkly gown had sheer panels on the skirt that showed off her sculpted legs as she walked down the red carpet. Zoe Saldana showed off her incredibly small waistline in a skintight denim dress that zipped up the front. The plunging neckline displayed her smooth décolletage while the halter straps drew eyes to her sculpted shoulders. The Avatar star, 46, was decked out in gold jewelry that matched her gold sandals. For a fun pop of color, Saldana threw on a bright red lip for the occasion in Beverly Hills. Tilda Swinton stood out in a bold purple tweed jacket with shiny gold buttons and a matching pencil skirt. The acclaimed actress, 64, sported her signature light blonde pixie cut and embraced her porcelain complexion.

Peach PRC risked a wardrobe malfunction as she attended the 2024 ARIA Awards in Sydney on Wednesday. The Australian pop star slipped into a risqué crochet two-piece that revealed her underwear as she posed on the red carpet. She also almost bared her chest as the top part of the glittering outfit perilously hung off her slender frame. The musician adorned herself in jewels, rocking a garter belt on her thigh dripping with butterfly-shaped motifs. The pop princess also wore a butterfly belly chain and very high lucite heels. She met fans and signed autographs, moving carefully so her ensemble barely moved an inch. The singer came under fire earlier this year for a music video that featured a nude strip search scene in a women's prison and depicts the death penalty. The Adelaide-born star began teasing clips of the music video for her new single Time of My Life in August Her fans lashed out at the her in the comments of her promotional posts on both TikTok and Instagram. The music video begins with Peach dressed in her trademark pink fairy look and sees her posing for a prison mug shot. 'Why are we glorifying prison?' one fan asked in the comments section of Peach's Instagram post of the clip. 'Cosplaying women's prisons is so gross!' exclaimed another. Fans of the Josh hitmaker were quick to tell Peach that they thought her choice of music video theme, filmed during a recent press tour in the United States, was 'out of touch'. One user said the 'gross romanticisation' in the video was 'incredibly disappointing to see'. 'I don't understand why this stuff is in the video,' another added. 'It already felt iffy to do a prison thing, but the whole ending is so uncomfortable.' The self-described 'lesbian singer' is based in Sydney and has 2.2 million followers on TikTok. Replying to a few of the negative comments, some of which appear to have been deleted, Peach hit back at her fans who criticised the video. 'Maybe art isn't made to be always palatable and comfortable but also maybe I don't have complete control and oversight of every single thing that gets made,' she replied to the fan who said they didn't understand the choice. Peach PRC is the stage persona of Shaylee Curnow, a former stripper from Adelaide who dropped out of school in Year 10. She is one of Australia's most prominent social media personalities and rose to international fame by sharing stories of her struggles with addiction, mental health, trauma, and relationships on TikTok . Peach PRC's debut EP, Manic Dream Pixie, rocketed to the top of the ARIA Album Charts in May 2023 shortly after its release. However, the young star struggles with anxieties around performing live at major festivals such as Splendour in the Grass, Spilt Milk, and Falls Festival and has regularly spoken about this on TikTok.

A magistrate and HR executive in her late 50s, settled, single, not dating or sexually active, Jo felt that her risk of becoming a victim of rape had passed, or was certainly low – and that drug-facilitated rape in particular was something that happened to young people, in clubs, at parties, "on the apps". When it happened to her two years ago, it was her adult son who had to make sense of it, and explain why she'd woken up naked beside a man she had no feelings for, blood on the bed, pain between her legs, her memory of that night a blank space. Her rapist was someone she had known since secondary school, a former classmate who, until that week in November 2022, she hadn't seen since their final A-level. At some point, he had emigrated and then connected with Jo (not her real name) through Friends Reunited. They messaged once a year around their birthdays, which were close together. That was the only contact they had until he got in touch to say he was back visiting family, and how about a coffee? It was strange from the start. Jo expected nothing more than a friendly catch-up. He was married with teenage children. Jo was long divorced. They realised that one of their favourite bands was playing locally in a week's time, so they booked tickets together. Then, that first day, quite out of the blue, he told Jo that he loved her, had always loved her and wanted to find a way to be together. "I was taken aback," says Jo, "maybe a bit flattered, bowled over. I'd never once thought of him that way. I went home and as the days passed, he kept messaging me, getting so full-on and a bit stalkerish, as if he was desperate to see me. I was trying to be polite and I agreed to meet him again to put him straight. I made it clear that I didn't feel the same. The truth was that I wasn't attracted to him – and he was married. I had been single and content for years, and I'd never consider getting involved with a married man." They still had the concert, though, so Jo went along, hoping they could part without any hard feelings. "After the gig, we walked into a pub, he bought us drinks and I have no recollection beyond that." Her next memory is coming briefly to consciousness in her own bed; he was there too with his fingers inside her. "Then I woke the next morning, my head was banging so hard it was unbelievable and my body felt battered. He was lying next to me with no clothes on. I just couldn't work out how we ended up there." It is hard to build a solid picture of drug-facilitated rape – who does it, how, where, why, how often? There are too many gaps and so much guesswork. The body of research is still small and reliable data virtually impossible to collect. A national survey by Stamp Out Spiking suggests that 97% of spiking victims don't report it , because they didn't realise until too late, felt there wasn't enough evidence and didn't expect to be believed. Then there are women who won't know that they are victims – there are examples, especially in marriages, of women being unaware it is happening over a period of years. On certain forums – such as Women's Aid and Reddit – women can be found airing their suspicions that they've been drugged and raped by their husbands, and listing the warning signs they missed: "forgetfulness", "clumsiness", "intermittent, unexplained pain and discomfort", "feeling like you have done a marathon in your sleep". The most recently available data on this from the 2020 Crime Survey for England and Wales found that 5% of rape victims suspected they had been drugged by the perpetrator, and this rose to 14% in cases where the attacker was a stranger. From time to time, cases emerge that bring the issue into focus. More than 60 women have alleged that Bill Cosby drugged and raped or sexually assaulted them , a pattern of abuse said to have spanned most of his career as one of the US's best-loved comics. (He has always denied the allegations.) In Manchester, police believe, from video footage on his phone, that the PhD student Reynhard Sinaga drugged, raped or sexually assaulted more than 190 men between 2015 and 2017. Most of his victims were untraceable but Sinaga is now serving a minimum of 40 years for 159 counts of sexual offences against 48 men. In France, Gisèle Pelicot, now a feminist hero, recently waived her anonymity in order to put drug-facilitated rape back in the spotlight. For more than a decade, the husband she loved and trusted was spiking her food and drink with anti-anxiety medication to render her unconscious, first raping her and allowing strangers to watch online, then inviting them to participate. Dozens of men, most within a 60km radius of their small town in south-eastern France, are said to have accepted Dominique Pelicot's offer while he filmed them, later filing the 20,000 photographs and videos he took neatly away in a folder on his computer called "abuse". Has the case generated a deeper understanding of how and why? In court, it was heard that psychologists found "no salient personality traits" in Dominique Pelicot; he does not suffer any "mental pathology or abnormality" and has a "correct relationship with reality". His use of pornography and search terms such as "asleep porn" were highlighted, marking his tendency towards paraphilia and somnophilia (sexual interest in someone who is unconscious). Psychologists have linked somnophilia and the steep rise in pornography categories such as "unconscious" as the most logical extension of the internet porn explosion. Somnophilia, like online porn, is a one-way activity with no need to perform or please a partner who becomes an object, a receptacle with no reality or subjectivity to navigate. Whatever the role of online porn in the Pelicot case, drug-facilitated rape predates the internet by centuries. The medieval legal historian Gwen Seabourne highlights a case from 1292 in the south-west of England where a woman suffering from leg pain consulted her doctor, who administered a drink that incapacitated her, then raped her. In her sweeping history, America's Women: 400 Years of Dolls, Drudges, Helpmates, and Heroines, Gail Collins links women's growing independence in the late 1800s with the increasing use of drugs to control their sexuality. One doctor's records show that he visited a household two or three times a week in order to put a woman under anaesthetic so her husband could "have sex" with her. "Throughout history, we see the use of drugs to facilitate unwanted sexual attacks," says Joanna Bourke, a British historian and the author of Rape: A History from 1860 to the Present. "In 19th-century Britain, drug-facilitated rape was a major concern, in the context of two drugs in particular – alcohol, much of which was adulterated so it was not clear how strong a drink was, and chloroform, which was a new drug, unregulated and widely available." Bourke believes that drug-facilitated rape can only be understood through the deeply embedded "rape myths" and male entitlement that have existed through history. "One of these is that 'some kinds of sexual violence are not really damaging'," she says, "the belief that, 'She's unconscious, she won't feel it, she won't remember it, so it's not that bad and not really going to harm her.' Linked to this is the idea that if she's not fighting back, it's not really rape – and screaming and hitting isn't enough. There have to be wounds." This is a clear feature of the Pelicot case, with many of the defendants insisting that they are not rapists. (One expressed his belief that rape was something that "happens in the street" in the style of, "If you don't want it, I'll hit you.") A psychologist told how Dominique Pelicot had trouble accepting the harm he had done, instead complaining that the trial had "destroyed his life", and that if he hadn't been arrested, "I would still be happy, and she too – everything would have continued the same way." In another case, in Indianapolis in 2014, a man called David Wise who had drugged and sexually assaulted his wife for three years was sentenced to eight years of GPS-monitored home confinement, with the ability to leave for work and no required therapy. The judge told his former wife that she needed to forgive her ex-husband. Prosecuting drug-facilitated rape is rare and difficult. In many cases, including that of Sinaga and the Pelicot trial, it is only uncovered due to chance discoveries of video footage. Gisèle Pelicot knew something was very wrong; she suffered weight loss, hair loss, problems with her memory, unexplained gynaecological problems and difficulty moving her arm, but who would have imagined why? (Her husband dutifully drove her to medical appointments to get to the bottom of it.) Last year, Steven Evans from Greater Manchester was convicted of 37 offences, mostly sexual assault, against four women, after rendering them unconscious with a substance he called "magic". Again, this only came to light when one of his victims found videos on his old phone. (In the past, when she had complained of waking up with pain in her intimate body parts, he'd laughed at her.) In Australia, in a case in 2001, a woman only discovered that her husband of 30 years was drugging and raping her when she found the videos taken with a hidden camera in their bedroom. She later told the court that she had feared she had cancer because of a host of mysterious gynaecological problems that required multiple surgeries. Without video evidence of the acts themselves, or perhaps CCTV footage of the victim completely incapacitated beforehand and unable to consent, or a witness to the substance being administered, these cases can be almost impossible to prosecute, says Nogah Ofer, a solicitor at the Centre for Women's Justice. "Toxicology is the main type of evidence if you give a sample quickly enough," she says, "but some of these drugs can leave your system very quickly." (Some can be picked up seven days later; others can be gone in less than 12 hours.) "By the time you've come round, left wherever you are when you wake, maybe told a friend, worked out what has happened, it can be too late." Even when the drug is identified, depending on what it is, how do you prove you didn't take it recreationally? What is left is less than "your word against his", because victims have no clear memories, often no memory at all, no account to offer a jury. "It's a crime that people can get away with all the time," says Ofer, "and I'm sure they do." For Jo, the chances of any kind of justice look slim. "When I woke and realised he was next to me, I had no idea what had happened," she says. "He tried to cuddle me. I can't remember what I said; I just needed to get him out of there. When he left, he said he'd ring me later and asked: 'Can I not even have a kiss?' I felt ashamed, I felt cheap and so confused." A few days passed before she confided in her son, who urged her to report the rape. Five days after it had happened, Jo gave a statement to the police and had a forensic examination. (She isn't sure if her bloods were tested for drugs but assumes they would have left her system anyway.) The man was arrested and interviewed, and insisted that the sex had been consensual. "Since then, every step has felt like a battle," Jo says. Police didn't confiscate the suspect's phone or laptop – but Jo had to hand in her own phone, apparently so that police could download the man's messages for evidence. ("I'm the victim. I've barely told anyone, but I had to somehow explain to everyone why I didn't have a phone.") Earlier this year, she learned that the CPS would not be taking her case forward, a decision she is planning to challenge. "It has affected me in so many ways," she says. "It's like a weight on my shoulders all the time. I haven't told many people and putting up a front is exhausting. My job is very detailed, very pressured, so I've decided to go part-time next year and that's a direct result of what happened. I'm just so tired. I have always been a firm believer in the system, in justice, and this makes me question and doubt everything." The blank space from that evening is never far from her mind. "I used to be confident and outgoing. I live in a really nice, safe, quiet neighbourhood, but I don't feel safe any more. When I go out, my senses are heightened, I'm looking out for shadows. If I'm anywhere social, I'm on edge, holding on to my drink, but I'm nervous at home, too. "I wake in the night in my room, in the bed where it happened, and I have this feeling that I don't know what's going on and what is coming next. Flashes of his face, of him being here pop into my head. Some people might think not knowing what happened to you is easier. For me, it isn't – and it's meant the odds are completely stacked in his favour."

Gisèle Pelicot waived her anonymity to put drug-facilitated rape in the spotlight, and her experiences of sexual violence have shocked the world. So what else do we know about this most hidden of crimes?

An urgent plea from Philadelphia's only open-intake animal shelter. ACCT Philly says its kennels are beyond full and it needs people to adopt and foster animals to save their lives.The shelter is so overcrowded it is being forced to euthanize perfectly healthy dogs because they are out of room."They just need homes," Executive Director of ACCT Philly, Sarah Barnett stated. "There's nothing wrong with them. We're in a crisis now. Healthy and adoptable dogs should not be dying because of a lack of space. That just should not be happening."And, that's why ACCT Philly is trying to get the word out, pleading for people to adopt.Barnett continued, "We're doing this $10 adoption fee to get the public out and adopt. We're also trying to make people aware of the contributing factors to maybe help people realize, you know, if you've lost a pet, come here and look for them."In a seven-day period, ACCT Philly took in 139 dogs. Of them, 98 were strays. While some of them were reunited with their families, the majority were not. They had no tags, no ID and now they are on a list to possibly be euthanized which should not happen.Barnett says more and more people are surrendering their pets because of housing insecurity and money. They just can't afford them anymore."It's really frustrating. It's really hard," Barnett explained. "The number one thing I would say to people in a position with a pet where they are struggling or short on money - ask for help sooner than later. We have a Pet Pantry, the PSPCA, PAWS, Philadelphia No-Kill Coalition. They're all organizations that work really hard in addition to us to try to keep people and pets together."Barnett is also urging folks to spay and neuter their dogs. "If even two percent of Philadelphians would spay and neuter their pets. We'd probably not be - I know we wouldn't be in such a bad situation."If you can't adopt\, consider fostering a dog, even if it's just for a couple of days. ACCT also needs volunteers and donations to give as many pups as possible a fighting chance.

Sean Duffy has been tapped to serve in Donald Trump 's cabinet, but for those who tuned in to MTV in the late '90s, he's better remembered as The Real World: Boston's resident party animal. Long before his days as a congressman and Fox News commentator, Duffy was a 25-year-old law student with a penchant for hard-partying, cringe-worthy pick-up lines, and a libido that became a defining feature of his on-screen persona. Duffy's time on the show was marked by a string of flirtations, wild nights, and some truly eyebrow-raising antics. On The Real World: Boston, he was the quintessential 'jock-type guy' who, according to his castmates, 'liked to party' - and party he did. From flirting with roommates to skipping mentorship responsibilities for romantic escapades, Duffy's time on the show was anything but tame. One of the most infamous plotlines centered on his fixation with Genesis Moss, a roommate who identifies as a lesbian. Despite her clear disinterest, Duffy pursued her relentlessly, making awkward advances and even propositioning her with gems such as 'feel my noodle.' Viewers cringed as Duffy's misguided charms repeatedly fell flat. But he wasn't done. Duffy also turned his attention to another female castmate, attempting to coax her into performing intimate acts on camera. His on-screen behavior wasn't limited to just flirting with roommates. In one episode, he skipped a scheduled meeting with at-risk children he was mentoring to hook up with a 'local girl.' If that weren't enough, during a crossover with Road Rules, Duffy had a steamy encounter with cast member Erika Ruen. As one of his Real World housemates bluntly described it, "They went to town. They went in the bathroom. Had her up against the wall. You know what I'm sayin".' Beyond the bedroom drama, Duffy's antics frequently crossed the line into controversy. He was fired from his mentoring gig after drinking alcohol in front of the kids and bailing on them for a ski trip. His behavior toward some of his housemates was equally contentious, including a heated argument where he called his black roommate a 'b****.' Such moments painted a picture of a man whose priorities often seemed more aligned with partying than any kind of personal responsibility. Fast forward to today, and Duffy finds himself on the brink of becoming the next Secretary of Transportation, thanks to another reality TV veteran, Donald Trump. Like his potential boss, who shot to fame on The Apprentice, Duffy's route to power began not in politics but in the glare of reality TV. Yet, while Trump's television persona was built on ruthless boardroom decisions, Duffy's was all about keg stands and awkward come-ons. Reflecting on his Real World days in a 2019 YouTube interview, Duffy admitted, 'You look back now, you look at the things you say and did [on the show], it's embarrassing.' Still, he managed to find lasting love in the MTV universe. During an all-stars season, he met Rachel Campos-Duffy, a fellow reality star from The Real World: San Francisco. The two married and now have nine children. 'We are the most prolific Real World couple of all time. No one beats us,' he boasted in a 2019 interview. Duffy's reality TV career didn't end with The Real World. He went on to compete in The Challenge, winning two seasons and cementing his place as one of MTV's early reality TV success stories. But his transition from the world of televised debauchery to public service wasn't without skepticism. In 2010, he made history as the first reality TV star to be elected to Congress, representing Wisconsin's 7th district. His political career saw him align with the Tea Party, advocate for conservative policies, and frequently appear on Fox News to champion Trump's agenda. Following his resignation from Congress in 2019, Duffy joined Fox News as a contributor. But now, with Trump nominating him for a cabinet position, Duffy's reality TV past is once again under scrutiny. As Duffy prepares for a potential role in Trump's cabinet, his past has resurfaced in a way that raises eyebrows reports the Daily Beast. Can the man who once fell asleep during a speech by Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Carter be trusted to lead the Department of Transportation? For critics, the answer isn't clear. But if Duffy's life has proven anything, it's that he knows how to navigate unexpected twists - whether it's winning reality TV competitions, finding love on national television, or making the leap from MTV to Washington. His story is one of reinvention - from MTV bad boy to political player, but as his critics point out, some reputations are harder to outrun than others.

Donald Trump's pick for transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, first gained fame as a reality star on MTV's The Real World in 1997, where he was known for his wild partying, sex-crazed antics.

Pop singer Charley stole the show at the 2024 Aria Awards on Wednesday. The Sydney-based chanteuse walked the red carpet at the prestigious Australian music awards in an ensemble inspired by the character of Kida from the 2001 Disney film, Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Charley worked her best angles in a blue flesh-baring Grecian-style gown which she made herself. The skimpy frock featured a revealing top half made from very little fabric that showcased her décolletage and abs. The rest of the gown hugged her slender frame in a Z-shaped pattern, with some of the fabric gathering at the hips to show off her trim pins. The Aria-nominated artist complimented her dress with a pair of chrome Steampunk-inspired heels. The shoes shone brightly as Charley posed and featured prominent buckles and belt straps. The singer also drew attention with her indigo hair colour at the event. The Hard For Me singer detailed the process of how she put together her dress last week on her Instagram. In a video shared to her 77,000 followers, the multi-talented artist showed off her seamstress skills. 'I've decided to fly very close to the sun and make a dress based on Kida for a music awards ceremony in Australia.' Charley updated her fans on how the dress was going, showing it on the tailor's dummy looking almost like the finished product she wore on Wednesday. She then cut back to what she did before, gathering materials for her gown. 'I knew I needed a bra, so I cut up this lacey so it could show underneath. Got that blue fabric and just started laying it all over everything and just pinning it everywhere. I actually did not know what I was doing, but we got there.' She then revealed that she got her professional seamstress friend to help her complete the dress. The two friends worked together and Charley exclaimed that it was 'all coming together.' She then took the gown-in-progress back to her house after pinning 'the f**k out of it' before she stitched it all together. 'I had a to sew and sew and sew, all by hand,' she said. Charley's fans took to the comments on the post, clearly impressed by her hidden talent. 'I love that you make your outfits! So talented,' wrote one fan, while another said, 'Talented little angel!' 'Okay pop off my talented girly,' said someone else. 'Love that you make this s**t yourself. So much yas,' another person remarked. Meanwhile, one more fan said, 'It's so nice to see that people out there still make their own clothing! Double talented!' Last year, the ARIA Nominated Sydney based pop chanteuse released her debut EP, 'Timebombs.' In 2024, she toured with American pop star Fletcher, and is currently working on her debut album.

Wicked, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo , is earning rave reviews , but at one point, the cast looked quite different—featuring two pop icons in key roles. British filmmaker Stephen Daldry was originally set to direct the spectacle and had big plans to cast Lady Gaga as Elphaba and Shawn Mendes as Fiyero, according to a source who spoke to Page Six on Tuesday. The Born This Way singer even met with the production team multiple times to discuss her take on the character. 'They had meetings, the two of them, about the character and who she would be. [Gaga] was essentially cast in his version, and then it fell through,' the insider revealed. But Daldry's vision never came to be—he left the project in 2020 due to scheduling conflicts. Enter Jon M. Chu, who took over as director and reimagined the cast, ultimately bringing Erivo on as Elphaba, Grande as Glinda the Good Witch, and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero. And this cast is clearly a perfect fit for their roles, as DailyMail's Brian Viner puts it : 'Chu and the writers have enormous fun and are superbly served by the cast: Erivo and Grande are both pitch-perfect and altogether sensational.' He added: '{Michelle] Yeoh, Bailey and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard offer splendid support.' Lady Gaga has since proved her acting chops in films like A Star is Born and the recent Joker sequel, where she shared the screen with Joaquin Phoenix. As for Mendes, despite the early casting talks, he has yet to truly explore acting, keeping his focus squarely on his music career for now. The casting news follows Erivo's Elle 2024 Women in Hollywood cover story, where she opened up about the 'hard' and 'vulnerable' conversations she and Ariana shared before working together on Wicked. 'I've gained a sister,' she said in Elle's 2024 Women in Hollywood portfolio. 'At this point, we speak almost every day. Both of us were blown away by how connected we were immediately.' 'I remember the first day we got to come together. It was at [director] Jon M. Chu's house, and Stephen Schwartz [who wrote Wicked's music and lyrics for both the OG Broadway musical and the film] was over. 'He played some songs for us, and we sang together for the first time. It worked. It was one of the most gratifying things to know that there was someone who was that open and available, because she was, and that meant I could be as well. 'We also had a beautiful relationship offscreen.' During an interview with the New York Times , the pair said they would frequently spend their days off together — staying in at each other's homes, go shopping together and even getting tattoos. On their connection and friendship, Ariana told the outlet: 'I think that was one of my most cherished parts of this experience: I felt held and like I had a friend every step of the way.' 'I'm really proud of us for how genuinely we took care of each other throughout this whole time,' she added. Wicked hits theaters on Thursday.

Selena Gomez reunited with her Emilia Perez co-stars Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofia Gascon at at SAG-AFTRA event in Los Angeles this week. The Spanish-language musical comedy is led by Karla, playing a cartel leader who pretends to die in order to undergo a gender transition into a woman . Emilia Perez premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to a burst of acclaim, including a joint best actress prize for Sofia, Zoe, Karla and their castmate Adriana Paz. After a limited theater release in the US and Canada in November 1, the movie bowed on Netflix this Wednesday to a warm response from the critics. Now its three top actress have gathered together in matching black at The Meryl Streep Center For Performing Arts, a SAG-AFTRA venue on Wilshire Boulevard. They headed to the venue this Tuesday evening for an event entitled SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations Presents Emilia Perez. Selena cut a business casual figure in a sleek black blazer over a matching top, teamed with a tie worn fashionably loose . She brought the look together with high-waisted jeans and a set of simple black heels, wearing her dark hair down for her latest night on the town. Zoe meanwhile slipped on a black v-neck sweater, tucked into her floor-length fossil grey skirt to emphasize her enviably svelte waistline. With her hair teased into elegant waves, the Pirates Of The Caribbean actress brought out her luminous complexion with naturalistic makeup. She added a subtle splash of glitz to the look with a glistening necklace and a couple of rings, rolling up her sleeves to give the ensemble a nonchalant air. Karla, the first openly trans winner of the best actress prize at Cannes, opted for a black wrap blouse and a set of flowy silver slacks. They posed on the red carpet with casting director Carla Hool, who was about to interview them onstage at at The Meryl Streep Center For Performing Arts. Selena recently gushed over Meryl Streep, who recently appeared on the pop star's hit Hulu sitcom Only Murders In The Building. 'I remember being on set with Meryl Streep, trying to shoot her side so that she could go home and have the next day off,' the songstress told Elle . 'Toward the end of the day, she said: "Wait, no, why aren't we turning around?" And they said: "Oh, we'll do that tomorrow." And she goes" "No, no, I must come in, I should be here for them."' The Come And Get It singer raved: 'It was so classy and showed that she really still loved the craft and that she wanted to be there for us too. I'll never forget her being barefoot, singing on set, just loving what she's doing. I want that spirit, I want to always love what I do and be there for people.' The interview was published hot of the heels of a raging internet controversy over her longtime boyfriend Benny Blanco. Social media flew into a tailspin of shock when Benny featured inside People magazine's famous Sexiest Man Alive Issue this year. Although the cover star The Office heartthrob John Krasinski, the fact Benny was included at all was sharply polarizing on account of his looks. He drew praise in some quarters for 'redefining "sexy" with that humor and style,' while others reacted with bewilderment. 'Selena paid for this,' joked one observer on X, formerly Twitter, while another wrote: 'Benny blanco and sexiest man alive should never be in the same sentence,' and a third quipped: 'Did they throw a dart blindfolded to pick?'

Nova host Tim Blackwell and his new girlfriend Lizzie Baxter have made their official red carpet debut at the 2024 ARIA Awards on Wednesday. Tim, 43, and Lizzie, 28, couldn't keep their hands off each other as they walked the red carpet and officially confirmed their relationship to Daily Mail Australia. The couple put on a loved-up display as they embraced one another and posed for photos at the annual music awards ceremony. Tim exclusively shared they are dating as they surprised onlookers with their arrival. Lizzie put on a leggy display at the event in a checkered off-the-shoulder mini dress which she paired with racy stockings. The blonde beauty accessorised with a pair of chunky black heels and silver hoop earrings. Tim also looked dapper for the occasion, dressed in a velvet suit jacket and matching pants. The radio star completed the ensemble with a bright red buttoned shirt and a pair of shiny black shoes. Their red carpet debut comes just one day after Daily Mail Australia revealed their romance when Tim stepped out with 28-year-old Lizzie on Friday. Lizzie - who is 15 years Tim's junior - is a producer for Nova's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie breakfast show. Joined by their Nova colleagues, the couple stayed close as they attended an intimate 'Red Room' gig at the Coogee Bay Hotel, hosted by rapper The Kid Laroi . The lovebirds are believed to have began dating after Tim's marriage broke down. In a flirty exchange on social media, Tim announced he was hosting the awards show and Lizzie asked in the comments if she could be his date for the evening. 'Do you need a date by any chance? You're hot,' she wrote. 'I'll be working. Wouldn't that be unprofessional?' Blackwell responded, before quickly adding, 'I'll think about it...' Baxter teased in reply: 'Hasn't stopped you in the past.' A source told Daily Mail Australia the pair have been engaging in flirty online banter for 'a few months' and Lizzie's Instagram account included photos of them as a couple before she recently turned it private. Another insider added, 'Their relationship is well-known in the industry. It's not really a secret.' Lizzie works as a content producer for Fitzy and Wippa in the same Sydney office as Tim, who is one third of the national drive show alongside Ricki-Lee Coulter and comedian Joel Creasey. Tim and Lizzie's date night came almost one year after his estranged wife Monique confirmed they had split. The former couple share three children, Bo, 11, Alfie, eight, and Artie, five. Monique, an entrepreneur and yoga instructor, broke the news via Instagram on December 10. 'Not all good things end, but this has,' she captioned a gallery of photos of herself with Tim in happier times. 'Thank you in advance for your messages of love, support and sadness at the news that Tim and I are no longer together. 'Our babes are forever supported by Tim and I's love for them. And our friendship is a source of strength for our family always, as we raise our children as best friends.' Tim remained silent on Instagram for over a week after his wife's announcement. He wouldn't address his marriage split directly until September. He opened up about his separation and co-parenting on his podcast, Introducing with Tim Blackwell, during a conversation with singer Missy Higgins. In a gut-wrenching admission, Tim admitted he felt like a failure as a parent when his marriage to Monique ended - but stressed their story wasn't over yet. 'Especially as co-parents, we're still in the relationship. It just looks different. I think we're working harder on the relationship we don't have anymore,' he said. Tim and Monique first met in 2002 after he moved to Perth to launch Nova 93.7's drive show. 'It's the cheesiest radio-nerd story ever - one of the biggest days for my career and certainly the biggest day of my love life,' he told Stellar magazine in 2018. 'I had all the big bosses in town, all the news media there. I was shaking and absolutely s****ing myself but also exhilarated at the same time. 'Once all that was over, we went downstairs and had this huge launch party and Monique was a part of the promotions team at the time there. She came over and I got the courage to say, "I'm new to Perth and I'd love to take you out to coffee or something."'

The first ever self-test kits for gonorrhoea and chlamydia will be rolled out to millions of Aussies amid a 'concerning' surge in cases. The kits, recently approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, will be sold at pharmacies and online in the next few weeks. The tests, which are designed only for women, can return a result for the sexually transmitted infections (STI) in just 15 minutes. The diseases are detected by a single swab sample in the kits, which are produced by Sydney diagnostic tests manufacturer Touch Biotechnology. CEO Matt Salihi said the kits will prevent the spread of STIs and protect the privacy of women who can now test in a comfortable environment. 'It marks significant progress in improving the options for female sexual health in Australia, hopefully reducing the number of infections that go undiagnosed and enabling more people to receive appropriate and timely treatment,' he said. 'We hope it will empower women to take the first step towards receiving a diagnosis.' Before the option to test at home, women were required to take a lab or PCR test, which can be expensive and also invasive for some patients. One in six Aussies will contract a STI in their lifetime according to federal government data amid a 'concerning' increase in STI diagnoses. Rates of gonorrhoea have skyrocketed by 157 per cent and chlamydia by 26 per cent with more than 110,000 reported cases in Australia last year. Common signs of gonorrhoea among women are pain and discomfort in several parts of the body including the throat and eyes. These symptoms can often be mistaken for other infections and the fear of judgement and stigma can stop some Aussies from being tested. General Manager at Touch Biotechnology Matt Gencer said if STIs go untreated among women they can cause major health issues. 'That's why it's incredibly important for women to test for STIs when experiencing even the smallest of symptoms or are concerned about a partner's sexual activity,' Mr Gencer said.

The self-test kits can return a result for sexually transmitted infections in just 15 minutes.

A Colorado dog owner is thankful for her community stepping up to replace a stolen wheelchair for her senior pet . In an interview with CBS News Colorado , published on Nov. 18, Megan Caligiuri of Englewood said her 15-year-old rescue dog Griff can no longer walk on his own and needs wheelchair assistance. However, the wheels she had for the schnauzer mix were recently stolen, she said. "I take them off after every walk. I leave them outside because they're dirty. He rolls around through stuff," Caligiuri told the news station. "The next morning, he's pretty jazzed for his next walk. I go outside and they're gone. I have no faith left in humanity that someone would steal a disabled dog's wheelchair." After filing a report with the police, Caligiuri said she shared the news on the neighborhood social app Nextdoor, hoping for leads. "Over 80 people responded, offering donations, resources, and support. It was really heartwarming to see that much compassion," Caligiuri said. "Someone said they saw a guy on a bike, with what looked like the wheels, serving as a trailer." The overwhelming response led to Caligiuri and Kathryn Groenewold with Paw Prosper , the parent company of Walkin' Pets , meeting, meaning brand new wheels for Griff. "We just couldn't leave this dog without wheels," Groenewold told CBS News Colorado. "There's nothing more incredible than seeing a previously immobile pet have movement and excitement and the joy of running and play come back into their lives." "Our team works very hard to make sure that each chair is perfectly fitting for the dog," Groenewold continued. "We hope that Griff and Megan are going to be able to enjoy more good days together as a result." For Caligiuri, seeing Griff back outdoors, enjoying his walks again, is more than she could ask for.

Megan Caligiuri received a new wheelchair for her senior schnauzer mix Griff after his was stolen from their Colorado home.

A Tustin neighborhood was visited by an unwanted guest on Monday, but one dog proved to be the hero of the day when it chased a large mountain lion up a tree until wildlife officials could safely capture it. Efrain Reyes says that he was at home when the ordeal began. "My neighbor called me and said, 'Don't get out, there's a big cat outside.' He just said a big cat. I'm like, 'What? What are you talking about?'" Reyes recalled. Come to find out that just about 20 yards from their door was a 100-pound mountain lion in the branches of a tree nearly 20 yards from their home, where Reyes, his wife and their two daughters were. "He was just looking down like he looked nervous," Reyes said. "He looked scared."That's because it probably was, after Reyes' neighbor's dog rousted the cat from where it was originally hiding, underneath a pickup truck in the back of his yard. Apparently the dog let the puma know who the actual boss was, barking it up the tree where it hid for several hours as neighbors looked on anxiously. Police, firefighters and wardens with the Department of Fish and Wildlife also watched on, making sure that both residents and the animal alike were safe. Eventually they used a tranquilizer dart to get the cat out of the tree, and once caged, they drove into the Santa Ana mountains where it was released. No injuries were reported to anyone in the neighborhood, which is shockingly close to a metropolitan area for a cougar to wander, officials said.

The cat was scared up a tree by one of the neighborhood&#039;s small dogs before getting tranquilized and relocated by wildlife officials.

Sonia Granados made her debut on Married at First Sight's 4th season, which took place in Miami, Florida in 2016. Though she ended up saying "I do" to Nick Pendergrast and staying with him through Decision Day, the two went their separate ways after filming concluded on the season. On Oct. 15, season 18 of Married at First Sight premiered on Lifetime, returning to Chicago to follow five couples as the reality of their newlywed lives together sets in. Here, Sonia gives PEOPLE her recap of the Nov. 19 episode.Michelle and David</h3> It's quite funny how Michelle says, "We have to stop talking about the 'living situation,'" but in the next moment, she brings up the living situation. I'm certain it doesn't feel good for David to continuously hear that he lives at home with his parents. He knows where he lives! Michelle is seemingly shut down. It's really painful to watch. David is trying in the best way he knows how, but Michelle has a humongous wall up! It must be really tough to be in David's shoes right now. I know that Michelle is watching this back frustrated with herself because ma'am, throw this man a bone, please. Michelle came with all the energy of "don't call me, don't text me." She was a bit harsh. I can see how that would make someone check out. I think David's "you want your motherf-ing space, I'll give it to you..." is foreshadowing something! Michelle on the boat was probably the most vulnerable we've seen her yet. I loved how she realized that she has officially shut down. Now, let's hope she tried to un-shut herself. I found the workout scene with David and Madison interesting. They really seem to get along and are leaning on each other for support. David appeared more relaxed with Madison than his own wife.Ikechi and Emem</h3> Emem is truly in the experiment, it appears. She understands what it will need to take for her marriage to work and she is putting in the work. I can see how Ikechi calling Emem "the homie" is triggering because, agreed! Sir, we are married! I'm also a little confused because they appeared to have such great chemistry but we're seeing a different side of their relationship on this episode. What are we missing? How did that hot water suddenly turn so cold?!Karla and Juan</h3> Now, this is a SEXY couple! They are both, individually and together, a very sexy couple. I think they have cute banter. However, Juan seems to have an expectation of what a wife should look like for him, as well as Karla, and I'm curious to know if those two match. Karla and Juan singing "2 Live Crew" was truly a highlight of the episode. They are so cute together. I wish that Juan would've kissed Karla during the pool scene. Give us - and her - something to work with here! Thomas and Camille</h3> Thomas and Camille are the perfect example of what a Married At First Sight couple should look like. Two people being very considerate, and a soft place for each other to land. They communicate so beautifully with each other. This is a grown folks couple! I love how Thomas opens up with Camille about his childhood — this will bring them closer together. Thomas telling Camille his dream about that kiss in the ocean with rain and Camille knowing that he wanted a little peck was the cutest thing! I'm slightly obsessed with this couple's maturity and respect for each other. Please don't fail me! Camille said "I would not be mad if Thomas smacked my butt." Yesssss!Madison and Allen</h3> Allen is the man that every grown woman wants. Every woman who's had the bad boy wants the Allen. The man who is interested in being better for his partner, by any means necessary. Madison doesn't seem to be interested in Allen in the least bit, but the poor guy is trying to impress her. I feel like Madison is doing overtime on friend-zoning Allen. It's disappointing, and will be interesting to watch if she ever warms up to her husband because he's putting in all the work. This season of Married At First Sight feels deep and layered. It should be interesting to see how these marriages unfold. I'll be tuning in!Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

'Married at First Sight' season 4 alum Sonia Granados recaps the Nov. 19 episode of the Lifetime series as she wonders how one season 18 couple's flame "suddenly turned so cold" and explains why she thinks David's comment about wanting space "is foreshadowing something" between him and Michelle.

Nov. 19—PRC center has faced challenges with licensing, historic building The Catherwood Home Child Care, based in a home built in the late 1800s, is being closed permanently in early December due to ongoing and significant challenges with the old facility and state licensing, according to a press release Tuesday. Board members of the nonprofit Parenting Resource Center, the organization that has operated the childcare center since its creation in 2000, voted this month to close Catherwood on Dec. 6. This decision came after several months of extensive internal and external deliberations about its future. Seven families using Catherwood Home Child Care are being assisted with relocation options for their children by the PRC staff in collaboration with the nonprofit Austin Aspires. "This has been a very difficult decision for our organization but the PRC clearly cannot continue to invest funds into the old Catherwood home and pull our time and resources from other PRC programs to operate the childcare center," said Julie Clinefelter, chair of the PRC's board of directors. The PRC, however, will not rule out potentially playing a future role in providing childcare in Austin at another facility and with the support of partnering agencies, Clinefelter said. In recent years, state licensing changes have made operating Catherwood Home Child Care extra difficult, said PRC Executive Director Sara Salas Ramirez. "Today's childcare environment is much different than in 2000 when Catherwood was started to address needs in the community," Salas Ramirez said. "Catherwood is a beautiful, historic home but it is not ideal for childcare and would have many expensive needs to meet state requirements likely coming in the next few years." In the late 1800s, Sam Catherwood, a prominent Austin attorney and the first chairman of The Hormel Foundation, built the 7,200-square-foot home with 16 rooms at 707 Fourth St. NW a few blocks north of Austin High School. PRC leaders are exploring options for the Catherwood home and property for when the childcare program is done.

Catherwood Childcare to close

I am still so mad about the prank that Becky Minkoff and Erin Mew Mew Lichy started in the last episode that I can't even talk about it yet. "Do something else. Do my eyebrows," as Madonna once said . Okay, okay. Let's talk about all the personal stories, and then we'll get back to it at the end. Jessel and Pavit have a meeting with their tele-therapist, Joel, who lives in Mexico City. Pavit decides to celebrate by eating chips and salsa while they're in the middle of having a serious conversation about their relationship and whether or not to have a third child. Oh, hell no! I would have divorced that man right there. I would have been like, "Take your fucking Hint of Lime Tostitos and get the fuck out of this house and never come back." That would have been me. Luckily, Joel also has tact and told Pavit that in future sessions, maybe he should skip the food. The other revelation is that he is only 99 percent sure he doesn't want a third kid. But why doesn't he want on? Because it's too hard to find five tickets on points or miles together for trips. I mean, really? Come on. I was worried about all of the ladies leaning too heavily into their season-one schtick, and everyone has seemingly avoided the trap except Pavit. I appreciate his dedication to the brand and to bringing some fun to the show, but I'm with Jessel; we need to give peaks and valleys; we need to give shades of grey; he's just giving us the same peak, the same blinding whiteness. Let us see your juicy insides, Pavit. Let us see you cry, and then you'll really have made it as a Housewife. Speaking of people who want to get pregnant, Brynn is also on her own fertility journey, and I have so many questions. The first is why did she freezer her eggs in London? Do they not have cold enough fridges right there in Manhattan? If it was too expensive to do it in New York City, then New Jersey is right there, and you can take the PATH. That costs, what, like 75 cents? They can't charge more than that, right? I mean, you end up in New Jersey. She tells her ex-fiancé, Gideon, the real-life Hugh Grant, that she's going to have a wine-tasting party with a "som" (barf) so that he'll come to the apartment that she affords with a job that we have never seen and all find mysterious. When he arrives, she's there with a two-year-old that she borrowed from a friend of hers. Why? What is this kid doing here? She says it's so they can practice co-parenting, but they're in the kitchen drinking champagne out of coupes, and the kid is in Brynn's living room playing with trucks. Did he need to be there? And will he be scarred by an afternoon of being ignored by a reality star? Brynn has Gideon over because she wants him to donate some sperm so that she can turn a few of her frozen eggs into embryos in case she doesn't meet a partner, and then he will co-parent with her. This is where I have most of my questions, the biggest being, if she wants a baby so bad, then get a sperm donor and be a single mother by choice. I have at least three female friends who have done it, and considering I'm a gay separatist, there must be thousands and thousands of women doing the same thing. The next biggest question is if she thinks that Gideon is such a great guy, wants to raise children with him, wants him in her life forever, why doesn't she just, I don't know, marry him? Like, what is wrong that it broke up their relationship? Is it just that he doesn't live in New York? She seems to be spending a lot of time in London (which is getting its own show ) how hard could that be? They let absolute trash into that country and never kick them out. How do I know? I am that trash! The last personal story we get, other than Jenna's admirable shiner from getting beaned by Brynn during dodgeball, is Mel and Racquel going to a sex store in an office building, which sounds like the start of a Stefan sketch. They say it's for their engagement party, which is themed after vogueing balls, but why are they buying collars and whips? I don't know. All I know is that I would like to be brought back as a hot lesbian so that I could have sex with Racq-Mel, which is the couple's portmanteau I just made up for them. Ugh, now we have to talk about this stupid "Becky Minkoff is pregnant by another man" prank, and I just don't want to. The episode starts revealing that, yes, it is a prank, but it's even more complicated than we thought it was. Erin told Racq-Mel on their double date that it was a prank, so she always knew. Brynn tells everyone that after lunch with Jessel, she and Erin had a drink, and Erin told her the part about Becky not knowing the dad was a prank. Brynn says that is why she was telling everyone at dodgeball about it and hyping up the fact that Becky and her husband have a freak number higher than Kandi Burruss's, which is higher than Woody Harrelson's at a Cypress Hill concert. What to make of all this. I don't know. Like Andy Cohen said in last week's WWHL, I don't like pranks, and this one played out really badly. Jessel and Sai didn't think it was funny at all, nor did Racquel who thinks that this is what straight women do and she doesn't get it at all. The real damage comes when Becky tells the group at dodgeball that they have learned a lesson, and that lesson is not to trust either Jessel or Brynn. There are so many reasons I want to tell Becky with the meh hair to take a seat — the Scientology, the fake storylines, the boredom at the very center of her being — but I think this might be the biggest one. First of all, Erin was the one sharing the information about the pregnancy, so if Jessel and Brynn heard it at lunch on camera, why wouldn't they think they could spread it? It's only six months before the whole fucking world would know. And Jessel didn't even share any info, so painting her with the same brush as Brynn is pretty messed up. Also, Erin never told Becky — or anyone! — that Brynn knew, and then when asked if Brynn was in on it, she tried to either deny it or downplay it. Erin says in confessional that she didn't think Brynn was spreading the info to be malicious, just that she thinks Brynn likes sharing rumors. Exactly! So do I! And if you gave me the rumor that my new coworker got knocked up by another man because she's a swinger, I would be telling everyone in my contacts that information by the end of the day. Heck, I would even post it as a blind item on my Insta story and then tell everyone who it is when they DM. That is a really good rumor. What is galling all of the women, especially Brynn and Jessel, is that they say it was a prank, but then they say it was a test to find out who the "leaky pigeon" is, and the call is coming from inside the house where there is no food. That would be Erin's house because she doesn't cook and she is as leaky as a faulty Depend adult diaper. Sai, in her gorgeous new confessional look that is like a brothel couch come to life, says that Erin failed her own test. Exactly! Erin is the one who is always talking, she's the one who is always leaking. But the difference between Erin and Brynn is that Brynn will own being a shit-stirrer. She won't own the exaggerations, but at least she'll own that she likes to cause drama. Erin, the forever innocent victim, will never see how what she did was wrong. "Guys! It was a joke!" she'll shout at them, never thinking she should apologize or understand why people might be upset. Now we have two problems on either side of this debate. There is Brynn, who we know makes shit up, or if she doesn't make shit up, at least twists it so that it will be the most dramatic version of what it could possibly be. On the other side we have Erin, who seems to forget what she tells people, as Brynn points out, or leaves out major pieces of evidence in her case. Brynn is someone who adds on too much and Erin is someone who takes out too much. Who do we believe? Whose side are we on? Who is the leaky pigeon? I don't know, but as I expected from last week's episode, this whole prank storyline is for the birds.

Becky and Erin’s pregnancy prank was a complete flop and totally pointless. At least Brynn’s fertility journey is real.
