Married at First Sight Australia 2023’sHarrison Boon has a bone-dry sense of humour which, um, can really rub people up the wrong way.
Forever trying to not take himself too seriously, the Groom — who hails from NSW — can catch people unaware with his personality, but is very serious about finding love.
According to his official Nine bio, the 32-year-old has a three-year-old son and is open to having more kids; however, he sets the bar “ridiculously high” in achieving greatness in love and finding the right person.

Even though his marriage didn’t work out, his parents have been happily wed for an incredible 33 years — something he aspires to have.
And even though the builder has been single for two years, he’s ready to settle down.
Harrison is also a builder. Source: Instagram.
In fact, he’s the first to admit he was dating with no intention of commitment, and while he sounds like a resident f**kboy, he is ready to find a woman who shares his “zest” for life. Someone who has similar goals, values and a great sense of humour.
Married at First Sight Australia 2023’s, Cameron Woods grew up on a farm in Queensland before heading to Darwin to work as a carpenter in Indigenous communities.
A down-to-earth, cheeky and laidback larrikin, the 27-year-old has never been in a relationship, so coming into the experiment is a HUGE leap out of his comfort zone.

According to his official Nine bio, there was one key moment that shaped his experience with women, leaving him heartbroken.
After bringing her flowers to the hospital when she was unwell, he discovered she had another man, leaving him devastated where he took off “out bush”.
And although he’s nervous to jump in with both feet into the experiment, he’s got full faith that he will find someone who is open to loving him. Awww!
Let’s just hope his new Bride is obsessed with fishing because his Insta is full of fish pics!

This year, 10 new brides and 10 new grooms will meet for the first time at the altar on their wedding day after being matched by relationship experts John Aiken and Mel Schilling and clinical sexologist Alessandra Rampolla.
During an interview with Mediaweek, executive producers Tara McWilliams and expert John Aiken touched on the 2023 casting process.
When asked if anything had changed about how they looked for for the new season, McWilliams admitted they hadn’t really adjusted anything, only that they looked for people who are “different from the previous season”.
With Aiken saying there was a myriad of factors that go into finding the right people.
“Diversity, age, culture comes into it all,” Aiken said.

Australian Survivor 2023 is back with loyalty, honour, mateship,and a brand-new filming location.
In 2021’s Brains V Brawn, COVID restrictions meant that the show was filmed right here in Far North Queensland; however, this year, we’ve headed back overseas to stunning Samoa.
During an interview with Mediaweek, Tim Ali — the show’s executive producer — admitted that the team “couldn’t wait to get back” to the island — the show’s birthplace.
“It’s one of the hardest environments to play the game. We thought the Outback was going to be hard, but we soon realised that Samoa is just as hard, if not harder, for a whole different range of reasons,” he said.
While the cast were excited for the comeback, they realised “it was probably tougher” due to the “intense heat and humidity during the day and really, really cold nights.”
“But the thing about Samoa is everything that there’s so much moisture in the air, it’s really wet. That really bogs everything down – clothes don’t dry, and it’s hard to make fire. So it was just a whole new range of struggle.”
In this new iteration of Heroes v Villains, the contestants compete for the ultimate prize of $500,000 with only everyday basic comforts and clothes on their backs.
They will need to outwit, outplay, and outlast each other to get to the end.

Australian Idol 2023 judge Meghan Trainor and her husband, former Spy KidDaryl Sabara, just hinted at some HUGE baby news on TikTok.
Taking to the popular app on January 29, the 29-year-old teased her 16.5 million fans with a heartwarming video which was captioned: “Telling my family the secret I’ve been keeping for the past few months.”
While she added, “You’ll find out soon”, the Made You Look superstar — who is just about to step on the Australian Idol stage as a judge — showed various clips of her inner circle celebrating the news.
The Grammy Award-winning singer is already mum to one-year-old Riley — who has to be one of the CUTEST kids on the internet.
And while we’re not one to speculate, during the clip, one of her friends was seen holding an ultrasound while hugging the global superstar, so we’re 100% certain the announcement is coming!

Taking to the comments in droves, fans were quick to congratulate the star.
“The guy in the 3rd clip has scans !!! Congrats to you all 🥰🥰,” one fan wrote while another said: “Spy kid baby #2 🥺🥺🥺🥺”.
Another couldn’t contain their excitement.
“SECOND BABY SECOND BABY SECOND BABYYYYY! [sic], they wrote before another said: “WE HEARD SOMEONE SAY BABY 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 [sic].”
Based on some epic pink jumpers (to celebrate her best Chris Olsen and High School Musical: The Musical, The Series star Joshua Bassett’s birthdays) plus some Christmas wear, it looks like Meghan and Darryl shared their news in late December.
We are soooo excited and can’t WAIT for the official announcement.
After 14 years, Australian Idol is back, and with it, a brand-new cast of superstar judges.
While the original iteration saw Marcia Hines, Ian “Dicko” Dickson and Mark “touchdown” Holden searching for fresh talent, this year, TWO mega-international faces have joined the panel.
Helping find the next idol to take Australia by storm is multiple Grammy award-winners Harry Connick Jr and Meghan Trainor who have been joined by some home-grown talent!

The Bachelors Australia 2023 drew to a close on January 29 and after the shortest season ever, it’s hard to imagine that anyone would drop down on one knee during the finale.
But now that’s it’s all over, our three Bachelors — Thomas Malucelli, Jed McIntosh and Felix Von Hofe have all chosen their final ladies, surprising us all in the process.
So, who did our most eclectic bunch of Bachie babes choose during The Bachelor Australia 2023 finale?
Felix Von Hofe
Felix’ final ladies: Jess and Abigail
Arguably the most controversial Bachelor this season, Felix’ journey has been a ride to say the least.
The 32-year-old openly snogged ladies in front of…well, his other ladies and then freaked out over Jess Navin’s other boyfriend Damien Kelly.
Damien even appeared in the final episode, with Jess telling him she was closing “that chapter” on him.
Felix Von Hofe.
Felix’ final pick: Jess
During the finale, Felix was visibly nervous before Abigail, who is truly too good for him, arrived first i.e. was about to be dumped.
Speaking to her, he said: “The only constant throughout this entire chaotic journey has been you. You’re pure, funny, smart, beautiful… but I’ve been searching and searching for something…and I don’t think I’ve found her.”
Later, talking to the producers he said: “The one I’ve really been feeling for, there’s a huge elephant in the room and she’s got a boyfriend. I don’t think I’m ready for that.
“I think there’s still the option that I don’t make a choice here,” and PLEASE GOD NO.
Then Jessica arrived.
“Remember how nervous you were,” he said to Jess, reflecting on their first date.
“We’ve been through so much and I’ve had to make so many compromises and my fundamental beliefs have been questioned and then I met the parents.
“That relationship with Damien was right there in front of me.”
Jessica then explained that she had ended it with her other boyfie.
“I know that’s hard for you,” he said. “You make me feel so special. You really do. You make me feel so special.”
“Love is all about taking a risk and there’s no one else I’d rather take that risk for then you.
“Kiss me like you’re single,” Felix said and… there are no words.

Jed McIntosh
Jed’s final ladies: Angela and Alesia
Jed began his journey being rejected by someone he was vibing with during the first few dates causing him to become salty AF.
However, after getting over the hurt, he then chose his contenders including Tash Candyce — who was clearly on the show for air time.
However, after rejecting her return to the show (after ceremoniously leaving the Bach Pad), he was down to his final two — Angela and Alesia.
Jed McIntosh.
Jed’s final pick: Alesia
In the most Jed ending possible, he met the girls at a church, ultimately choosing the one he wanted to marry.
Before choosing Alesia, Jed brutally dumped Angela, telling her he couldn’t move forward with her because he didn’t think she could handle his life as a musician.
Since they’d had a conversation about his travels prior, she understandably felt “blindsided”.
However, after she left, Alesia joined him where he was ready to propose, even though she had explicitly said she wasn’t ready for a proposal.
“I missed you a lot,” he told her.
“Honestly, from the very first moment I met you, I came into that date and I didn’t know what to expect,” he said before adding:”I’ve completely fallen in love with you and I’ve never felt the way I have about you in my life.
“I have come here with a question,” he said, before dropping the knee.
“Oh my god,” she said.
“Alesia, will you marry me?”
“Oh my god, I don’t know what to say. F**k! Oh, f**k!”
Alesia was “thrown” by the proposal, before Jed gave her the ring anyway. LOL.
“I’ll put that on any finger you want as long as it’s not a proposal,” she said, before they made out for what felt like 55 minutes.

Thomas Malucelli
Thomas’ final ladies: Lauren and Leah
Thomas was by far the most emotionally available Bachelor in 2023, ready to meet the love of his life.
During the first dates, he was seen throwing roses left, right and centre.
Passionate and eager to find love, he threw himself into the ~JoUrNeY~, throwing caution to the wind.
Thomas Malucelli.
And when it came to the decision…
“I’m so sorry, you’re not the one,” Thomas told Lauren with the quickest goodbye and dumping ever.
Thomas’ pick: Leah
“It’s literally the moment I’ve been waiting for my entire life,” he said of Leah. before meeting her looking glam in red.
“When I first saw you my heart stopped for quite a long time. It’s been the most profound experience meeting you.
“I haven’t been in love in such a long time,” he said before thanking her for turning his “hope into reality”.
“You set me free,” she told him and then Thomas got down on one knee.
“I literally love everything about you,” he said. “I know that you’re the one.”
Convicted fraudster and inspiration behind Netflix’s Inventing Anna, Anna “Delvey” Sorokin, is adding reality TV star to her list of… umm accomplishments, all while under house arrest.
The subject of the hugely successful New York magazine story and former “Soho grifter” will star in the series in which she hosts dinner parties in her apartment.
According to a statement from the show’s producers, Butternut, the 32-year-old will host “celebrities, moguls and glitterati” in Manhattan for an unscripted series, Delvey’s Dinner Club (working title).

“There’s nothing like the experience of bringing together a curated group of friends to share life stories and enjoy a great culinary experience,” the convicted felon said in press release.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with Wheelhouse and Butternut to bring my vision to a wider audience and share a glimpse of the real Anna Delvey.”
Sorokin was released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention in October 2022 after overstaying her visa.
Prior to this, she had completed a sentence for her 2019 conviction for attempted grand larceny and served nearly five years for ripping off approximately $200,000 from investors while posing as a fake heiress.
In 2022, her WILD story was turned into a Netflix series starring Golden Globe winner Julia Garner.

Also starring Anna Paquin, the show centred around a journalist who investigates the case of Anna, the Instagram-legendary German heiress who stole the hearts of New York’s social scene – and stole their money as well.
There is no current release date set for Delvey’s Dinner Club.

“We started going and doing it like a few months in because the world was shut down,” she said.
“We knew we wanted to start a family, and I was like, ‘This is perfect timing. Usually, I’m on a plane 250 days out of the year, and let’s just get all of the eggs stocked and ready,’ and we have tons of them just waiting.”
Back in April 2022, the 41-year-old gushed about being married on The Bellas Podcast.
“I love being married. I just feel like I finally found my perfect match and I just feel so safe,” she said.
“I finally have my home and I just can’t wait to start a family and have kids.”

In a dispute that has been ongoing for six years, The Voice judge was allegedly confronted by PhillipRichard Hanslow, 66, outside their Sydney homes.
According to The Daily Telegraph, another resident called the police on January 23 after witnessing the alleged event with NSW police confirming they “were called to a neighbour dispute involving threats, and spoke to two men.”
Hanslow was charged with stalking with intent to cause physical harm and damaging property and is due to face Waverley Local Court on February 2.

Under the AVO, Hanslow must not contact the singer or go onto his property, while also being banned from possessing a firearm.
After Sebastian and his wife, Jules, began renovating their home in 2013, tensions began to rise between the two houses.
In a previous interview with Hit105’s Stav, Abby and Matt Sebastian spoke about Hanslow.
“I’ve got one of those neighbours … he’s a bit filthy at everyone,” he told the Hit105 Breakfast co-hosts.
“He’s one of those guys on the street that sits out the front screwing his eyes up at everyone.”

The Irish-born star received a nod for his turn as a single-dad in Aftersun, a father-daughter indie drama in which he also scored a BAFTA nom.
Taking to social media after the awards were announced, his sister Nell shared a snap of their family absolutely losing their goddamn-minds.
“How did this happen,” she captioned an Instagram Story which featured their dad Paul, mum Dearbhla and the oldest Mescal sibling, Donncha with various looks of disbelief.
She also shared a pic of Paul sitting on a bed smiling (pictured above), simply writing: “yup” and yup, indeed!

Rick and Morty’s Justin Roiland has been dropped from the series after domestic abuse charges were laid against him.
The 42-year-old, who voices both the titular characters, has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial after being charged with corporal injury and false imprisonment by menace, fraud, violence or deceit.
According to The Guardian, the charges related to a 2020 incident against an unidentified woman he was dating and living with at the time.

In a statement posted to social media, TV network Adult Swim said, “Adult Swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland. Rick and Morty will continue. The talented and dedicated crew are hard at work on season 7.”
Earlier this month, Roiland’s attorney T Edward Welbourn said that, “not only is Justin innocent but we also have every expectation that this matter is on course to be dismissed once the district attorney’s office has completed its methodical review of the evidence.”
Rick and Morty premiered in 2013 and has continued to be one of the network’s most popular series. In 2013, another 70 episodes were commissioned, meaning it would run for at least 10 seasons.
While the actor will still continue to receive credit as co-creator, industry partner Dan Harmon will now be the sole show runner.

In 2022, Netflix cancelled a whopping 23 TV shows from its line-up, and while some of the axings sparked worldwide “outrage”, it turns out there’s a very good reason for it.
According to the streaming giant’s CEOs, Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos, the almighty chop was due to the “evolution of business”.
During an interview with Bloomberg, Ted explained that they’d “never cancelled a successful show” and even though a lot of the programs were “well-intended”, they brought in a “small audience on a very big budget”.

“The key to it is you have to be able to talk to a small audience on a small budget and a large audience at a large budget. If you do that well, you can do that forever.”
While they may have a YUGE cultural presence online, it doesn’t necessarily translate to viewership or bringing in the big bucks — meaning, the show is more likely to never see the light of day again.
What TV Shows were axed from Netflix in 2023?
According to entertainment site Just Jared, shows like Gentefied, Cooking with Paris, Another Life, The Baby-Sitters Club, Raising Dion, Space Force, Resident Evil, The Imperfects and Selling Tampa were all cut from the line-up.

On the Verge, City of Ghosts and Centaurworld were also given the flick; however, no formal announcement was made.
Most notably, Fate: The Winx Saga was cancelled after two seasons and saw an outpouring of despair online by its young adult audience.
“Our story ended before it even started :(,” one person wrote on Twitter at the time, while others petitioned to “save” the show.
Voting is officially closed for triple j’s Hottest 100, which can only mean one thing — grab your pals, fire up the BBQ and spend all day around your portable speaker.

In the most random of news, Prince Harry could be “a shoo-in” for a Grammy.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the 38-year-old released a bombshell tell-all memoir, which he released as a hard copy and an audiobook.
According to the Daily Mail, an “entertainment insider” has revealed the father-of-two could win a gold statue for Best Spoken Word (Best Audiobook, Narration & Storytelling Recording) at the 2024 awards.
Firstly, as people who have *actually* listened to the audio version of Spare — hearing Harry tell his story in his own voice does enhance the experience… so, in all honesty, this is not that far-fetched.

The outlet also reported that his wife, Meghan Markle, believed he could take home the gong.
“He’s a natural storyteller, has a soothing voice and even sings on the audio version,” the source told the publication.

At one point during the narration, Harry tells an anecdote about Elton John, who played Your Song for the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death in 2007 — even singing a line from the tune — a decision he made.
“Who knew he could sing?” the insider said. “Meghan thinks he’s up there with President Obama, who won the same award a few years back.”
Honestly? This definitely sounds like something she would say!

They continued: “Hollywood loves him. He’s got the gift of the gab and a fun sense of humour. He’s the one with the star power.
“There’s even been talk about Harry appearing on the upcoming Academy Awards as a possible presenter.”
The Grammy Awards will be held on February 5, and Viola Davis, Questlove, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jamie Foxx and Mel Brooks have all been nominated for Best Spoken Word.
Kylie Jenner may have finally blessed us with photos of her son, however, his unique name has certainly caused a buzz around the world.
While at first glance you would be forgiven for thinking it is a nod to her four-year-old daughter Stormi Webster (“air” and “storm”), fans have been quick to point out another meaning for the name… and umm, it’s pretty goddamn awkies.
While Nameberry suggests the moniker simply means “air”; in Arabic slang, it takes on a whole other meaning.
In fact, rather than looking up, we must look down… because apparently it means “my penis”…
Umm should someone tell Kylie Jenner she renamed her son Aire which is a common Arabic expression for ‘my penis’ or nah?
While fans have been giggling ever since, Gogglebox’sMatty Fahd posted a video to his Instagram in disbelief.
“Every Arab and most people in South West Sydney this morning 🤦🏽♂️ #aire,” he said on January 22, pretending to converse with someone about the definition.
“They named their kid after a penis,” he said. LOL.
Of course, it can be a little hard for parents to gauge every connotation when making such a huge decision, so we can’t really blame the 25-year-old for not picking up on it…
But with every Kardashian-Jenner baby, people have found other hidden meanings.
While in Arabic, it is pronounced “ay-rie”, anglicised it sounds a lot like “heir”. a.k.a Prince William and not the spare Prince Harry.
In this case, Aire is one of the “heirs” to the lipstick mogul’s mega billion dollar empire… which is also quite fitting since “Aire” is the last four letters of “billionAIRE”…

If you’ve been keeping up, Kylie originally announced the adorable tot’s name to be Wolf after his birth on February 2, 2022, however, she quickly changed her mind, without telling the world. Blasphemy!
The date itself (2.2.22022) is also considered to be good luck because it represents angel numbers and also has a meteorological connection to Stormi.
