Woah, MAFS’ Jade and Ridge have done a full-blown interview about having kids soon

by Danica Baker

Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo’s Married At First Sight relationship has been going swimmingly, and they’ve already revealed their plans to have kids in the near future.

Jade already has an eight-year-old daughter named Victoria, who Ridge has quickly grown close to.

“I never thought I’d be able to love someone’s child like my own. But meeting Vee, that’s changed. I love Vee. I see her as my own even though I know she’s not, which is a shock to me. I never thought I’d get to that stage,” Ridge said in an interview with New Idea.

Jade added, “I feel like it’s such a huge ask for someone who doesn’t have kids to take on a partner and another child, so I did really appreciate that… It’s always a really tough situation. 

“A lot of people may say yes in the moment and say that’s fine, but then once they meet [the] child, they might feel differently towards the situation.” 

Jade and Ridge reveal their baby plans

Although Jade and Ridge have only been dating for a few months, they’re already making plans to make some babies together, saying they’d like “boy and girl twins”. 

However, Jade told the publication that she wants to be engaged to Ridge before they expand their family.

“I’d also like to do a little bit of travel together and I’ll definitely be waiting for another ring before we have any kiddies,” Jade reveals. “The show doesn’t count. I’d like a proper engagement, instead of me just being handed to him!” 

And, Ridge is totally on board with the idea.

“I don’t do anything half-arsed,” he said. “When I’m in it I’m really in it. This is the first time I’ve been in love, so I don’t plan on us going anywhere but forward together. 

“More kids and then we can live happily ever after with Vee and our three dogs Rufus, Fendi and Evie!”

Ridge and Jade’s post-show relationship

Although MAFS hasn’t finished airing just yet, Ridge and Jade have made no secret of the fact that they’re still together.

The reality TV couple have been snapped multiple times publicly flaunting their relationship all over Sydney, and even let their status slip in a radio interview.

During their New Idea interview, Jade and Ridge raved about their connection.

“The experiment turned out to be a lot better than I expected,” Jade said. “I had never watched the show. I googled the success rates the night before I flew out and they weren’t great, so I was very nervous.”

Ridge added: “I didn’t think an experiment like this could work, but I ended up falling in love. It was a happy accident.” 

“My favourite thing about Jade is how strong she is. It’s one of the sexiest things about her. She’s been through a lot and I admire every fibre of her being.”

Timothy picks a side and weighs in on the Lauren, Jonathan and Ellie MAFS love triangle

by Danica Baker

Married at First Sight’s Timothy Smith has weighed in on the love triangle between Lauren Dunn, Ellie Dix and Jonathan McCullough, and picked a side.

During an interview on Hit’s Bronte & Lakey for Breakfast, the former MAFS groom said he wanted to defend his “good buddy Jono”.

“I’m going to give a little bit of tea,” he added. “I’ve read all those messages he didn’t delete any of those messages.”

He added that it was common for the MAFS participants who had left the experiment to contact those who were still filming.

“In all respect, he called me, I called Ellie, I called Stephen [Stewart],” Tim explained. “When people go on the show they still want to stay in touch. You went through all this trauma together, and that’s how you bonded so I’m going to defend it a little bit.”

All the explosive revelations uncovered in the Nickelodeon docuseries Quiet on Set

by Anita Anabel

If you watched Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101, iCarly, Drake & Josh and The Amanda Show, you undoubtedly grew up in the early 2000s — but what you may not know is that one man, Dan Schneider, created them all and is now the subject of the docu-series Quiet on Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV.

**CONTENT WARNING: This article references sexual harassment and/or assault and may be triggering to some readers.**

The new doco details allegations of toxic and alleged predatory behaviour on set, including “abuse, sexism, racism, and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew.”

While the series is yet to be released in Australia (it will be available on Binge from April 5 with a double episode and will continue on April 6 with the final two episodes), at the time of publication, it has already premiered in the US, with some explosive revelations.

iCarly star Jennette McCurdy’s memoir inspired the docuseries

Directors Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz revealed that iCarly and Sam & Cat star, Jeannette McCurdy’s memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died, inspired them to look further after the book detailed a series of troubling on-set occurrences.

In addition to this, Business Insider’s Kate Taylor had also investigated the claims while concerned audiences had created YouTube compilations highlighting inappropriate behaviours from Schneider’s television productions.

“In many of these clips, there was behaviour that arguably could be characterised as quite sexual in nature and featured children,” Robertson said.

“Some of these clips included Ariana Grande leaning off the side of the bed, pouring water on her chest and her face in a manner that is arguably sexual. Jamie Lynn Spears, who was then a teenager, a young teenager, receiving a squirt of this viscous substance sort of glue like on her face. Or Ariana Grande, squeezing a potato in a manner that many felt was quite sexual.”

Amanda Bynes was the “favourite”

Amanda Bynes was discovered at the Comedy Factory doing a kid’s comedy routine when Schneider discovered her.

Given he thought she would be a big star, he spent more and more time with her. It was also alleged that Amanda’s father allowed this to happen as they were crafting her career.

“It was her big break and it was Dan Schneider’s big break, and it was the first time Dan Schneider’s name was listed as a creator. This gave him a whole new level of control and power and there would be consequences to that later on.”

The directors reached out to hundreds of people and many were eager to talk

“We had spreadsheets with hundreds of names on them,” Schwartz said during the documentary.

“We reached out to as many people as possible, many of whom, even if they weren’t ready to speak, were really excited that somebody was actually going to take this seriously. They’ve seen attempts before that had never really landed.”

Production assistant John Handy’s conviction

In 2004, former Nickelodeon production assistant, John Handy, pleaded no contest to two felony counts, including lewd acts on a child and distributing sexually explicit material.

He was only given six years in prison, before being arrested again in 2014 on charges including indecent liberties with a child and sex offender registry violations.

It was also revealed that he sent an explicit image of himself to an 11-year-old named Brandi on The Amanda Show.

Her mother MJ said: “I said, ‘Brandi, what is wrong?’ She started to cry and she said, ‘I got an email from Jason.’ It was a picture of him naked, masturbating. He said he sent to her because he wanted her to see he was thinking of her.”

Drake Bell opened up about the sexual abuse he experienced

Drake & Josh’s Drake Bell featured in the documentary, opening up for the first time about the sexual abuse he experienced at the hands of dialogue coach Brian Peck (whom is no relation to Bell’s co-star Josh Peck).

Peck worked closely with Schneider until he was convicted of child abuse in 2004, where served only 16 months in prison and was made to join the sex offender registry.

“The abuse was extensive and it got pretty brutal …why don’t you think of the worst stuff that someone can do to somebody as a sexual assault, and that will answer the question,” Bell revealed.

In 2006, following his prison sentence, Peck was once again hired to work on children’s television, now working for Disney on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

Gender discrimination and a hostile work environment

Christy Stratton and Jenny Kilgen were the only female writers working on Schneider’s The Amanda Show.

According to the former staffers, they were made to split a single salary and alleged that Schneider would show his employees pornography and verbally abuse staff.

After reporting the conditions to the writers guild, Kilgen claimed that Schneider threatened her.

At the end of the first season, Stratton was fired and Kilgen tendered her resignation a few days into the second one due to Schneider allegedly accusing her of being a sex worker.

Kilgen then sued the production company for gender discrimination; however, Schneider continued his tenure for another 18 years.

Wait a minute?! Does Tommy Little REALLY have a biological son?!

by Danica Baker

Tommy Little has confused his followers after sharing a photo on Instagram of his “biological son”.

The radio host took to social media and shared a photo of himself holding a toddler’s hands, with a mystery brunette woman holding the kid’s other hand.

“Nice to finally meet my biological son last night,” he captioned the post. 

Fans were left perplexed about the casual announcement of Tommy’s apparent “son”.

“Why had you not met him earlier? Did she not tell you,” a follower asked. Another wrote: “How special for both of you ❤️ Children are a blessing ❤️.”

Sooo… Does Tommy Little have a son?

It turns out that Tommy’s post was actually a tongue-in-cheek reference to a show during his 2021 stand-up tour when a pregnant woman stood up and pulled a prank on him.

“Why didn’t you call me back?” the woman shouted from the audience.

“‘I was like, “I’m sorry?” Tommy recalled in an interview with Adelaide Now, ‘We went on a date and you never called me back. Oh, and I’m pregnant.'”

However, the woman then revealed that the child she was carrying wasn’t actually Tommy’s.

“Then she starts laughing and says, ‘Don’t worry. It’s not yours. We went on a date five years ago,'” the comedian added.

“Even though I knew it wasn’t [mine], you do start to doubt everything you’ve done.”

Why people were offended by Tommy’s joke

After some of Tommy’s followers debunked his joke, others were left reeling over his choice to make light of such a serious topic.

“It’s a very poor joke. I don’t think you should ever joke about children,” one follower commented, adding: “What part of this joke is funny? People struggle with fertility so this is not funny at all.”

“I feel like this a supposed [to be] ‘funny’ although if it is, not so funny,” a second wrote.

A third follower called Tommy out for joking about the serious subject of adoptive children reconnecting with their biological parents.

“If this is a joke it’s very off. Children connecting to biological parents / donors is a significant thing and not something to make flippant clickbait over. If it’s genuine, also feels really off to splash it on social media 👎.”

Everything we know about Marcia Hines’ shock collapse on the set of Australian Idol

by Anita Anabel

Australian Idol’s Marcia Hines was taken to hospital after collapsing in her dressing room on March 24.

Hines, 70, was absent during the live broadcast of the first Grand Finale instalment and was replaced for the evening by Guy Sebastian.

At the show’s beginning, host Ricki-Lee Coulter revealed that the 70-year-old was “unwell” before Kyle Sandilands interjected, saying it was a “real downplay” to what had actually happened.

“Sorry, sorry. That’s a real downplay. She [Hines] was taken out of here in an ambulance,” he said. “Just so that everyone knows. She’s fine. She’s well. But she didn’t just ring up with a headache. She went down.”

At the time of the incident, a production source told East Coast Media: “Marcia had a medical emergency and was rushed to hospital. She won’t be on Idol tonight. Guy Sebastian filling in as judge.”

It is understood she is now in a stable condition.

At 8.00 pm on March 24, Marcia took to Instagram to update fans on her wellbeing.

“I’m very sorry that I’m not there with you all tonight,” she said. “It’s been a big few days of work and I was feeling a little unwell. I’m resting up now so I can be back with you all tomorrow night.”

Chattr has reached out to Channel 7 for comment.

The key thing we all missed about Robert Irwin and Julia Morris’ iconic I’m a Celebrity partnership

by Anita Anabel

I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here is back for its 10th season in 2024 and there’s a new hosting duo wreaking havoc in the Jungle — Julia Morris and Robert Irwin.

After the shock of Julia’s co-host, Dr Chris Brown, exiting stage left, we wondered who could possibly fill his very large shoes. Well, we’re happy to report that it now feels a bit like: “Dr Chris who?!”, because this brand-new combo couldn’t be more perfect!

“It’s funny because it feels like, in a way, my whole life has been training for this moment,” Robert, 20, told Chattr in an interview before heading to the Jungle in early March.

“Wrangling snakes and jumping on Crocs and jumping out of helicopters and all of that. It just feels right and the spice of life is trying something new. And when I had the opportunity to join this crew, I just jumped at the chance.”

Of course, one of the major drawcards for Robert was continuing the “legacy” of his father Steve Irwin, which he’s also “trying to create with wildlife conservation”, but Julia also served as a reason to sign on the dotted line.

“It was the first time I got to work with Julia, someone who has sort of always been there for a long time, for many years,” he admitted.

Julia Morris reveals the “common perception” about Robert

Julia, 55, who also appeared alongside Robert at the interview, said that when talking to people about”what the show was going to be like”, there was a common theme.

“We’re obviously finding our way into that together, but the really interesting perception has been that people are just going [to Robert], ‘Good luck to you starting on this adventure’.

“But in actual fact, Robert would have banked more air time on the screen than me! He also would have done nearly as many, if not more, live shows than me.”

Robert, Terri and Bindi Irwin. Ten

Adding to this, Robert said: “Well, my poor mother [Terri Irwin]. She was filmed while I was being born. There were cameras, I kid you not, in the room, whilst she was popping me out! [I was] Like a missile, zooom! Straight in there. Let’s go!”

“It’s so unexpected. It is new. It is different, but it’s also what I’ve always been doing.”

Finally, Julia called their pairing a “magical combination”.

“It’s not somebody new coming in. Sure, the show is new, but this type of television and where I guess entertainment is dovetailing with conservation and wildlife, and now we get to add comedy into the mix. We’re set!”

Exclusive: Are MAFS 2024’s Timothy and Lucinda still together?

by Danica Baker

With Timothy Smith’s larrikin attitude and Lucinda Light’s spiritual ways, they’re seemingly mismatched but have still managed to capture the hearts of MAFS fans nationwide.

Lucinda has been a strong shoulder for Timothy to lean on after recently losing his father, and Timothy has managed to push down some of his barriers and open up to his TV wife.

But, despite having most of Australia rooting for their relationship, are they still together?

MAFS. Nine.

Are Lucinda and Timothy still together?

Despite overwhelming evidence that Lucinda and Timothy have been spending a lot of time together post-filming, a recent slip-up by Lucinda might have given away the grim fate of their relationship.

During an interview with New Zealand radio show The Edge Breakfast, Lucinda was asked if she’d ever make the move to NZ.

“If I met a really…” Lucinda began before stopping herself. “Well, yeah maybe.”

Of course, the obvious way to end the sentence would be “nice man”, Lucinda’s attempt to come back from her almost-spoiler was less than convincing.

“If I met a really nice job opportunity or something like that,” she finished.

Lucinda and Timothy on MAFS. Nine.

However, there’s still hope for Lucinda and Timothy to transition into a romantic couple. In a radio interview on March 5th, Lucinda revealed that she was spending the night with Timothy.

“I’m about to see Tim tonight, I’m about to go meet him, we’re going to Melbourne Fashion Week together. He’s a darling,” she told Hit Network’s The Pulse with Seany B & Emma G.

When Emma pressed Lucinda for information about what her relationship with Timothy was like, her response was very promising.

“Absolutely divine, so beautiful, so close, so special,” Lucinda said. “I don’t know where you guys are up to in the story, but it’s such a beautiful love story and I’m so excited for you guys to watch the rest of it.”

Lucinda and Timothy from MAFS. Nine.

Plus, we have exclusive photos that suggest the couple is still very much together!

The pair were snapped having some beers together at a Sydney restaurant on Valentine’s Day.

On top of that, Instagram account MAFSGossip shared leaked photos of the TV couple at a BBQ in Melbourne this week. Timothy and Lucinda look very close in the photos, with her cuddling into his shoulder.

Furthermore, Daily Mail Australia published photos of the couple walking down the street together, before entering a building. They were both in good spirits and positively delighted to be in each other’s company.

However, unfortunately, it’s not all great news. Timothy was also spotted out and about by Yahoo Lifestyle Australia, in the snaps he was dining with a mystery woman on Melbourne’s Chapel Street. We’re just praying it’s his cousin!

Timothy and Lucinda’s pairing

Timothy loves a laugh, is social and outgoing, and describes himself as “Peter Pan”.

However, he doesn’t let people in easily, partly due to the loss of many loved ones which has hurt him deeply. According to his 9Now bio, his match “needs to be a genuinely good person, with a flexible, fun nature”.

He also “knows that he wants to feel butterflies and excitement when his bride walks down the aisle.”

On the other hand, Lucinda is fun, easygoing, sensual, creative and an eternal optimist.

According to her 9Now bio, she’s “looking for an open-minded man who is willing to be vulnerable, have a good time and explore everything the world has to offer.” She also hopes to find someone who’s “dedicated to constant personal evolution and discovering his full potential alongside her”.

Couple to Throuple host says series represents 33% of people who are “curious” about polyamory

by Anita Anabel and Danica Baker

Reality TV may have peaked with the new polyamorous show Couple to Throuple, and host Scott Evans has revealed exactly what viewers can expect to go down.

The series follows four curious couples who are shipped off to paradise and introduced to a bunch of singles that they can integrate into their relationship – if they choose to.

During an interview with Chattr, Scott said the reality TV show is compelling because of the recent rise in couples exploring outside of their relationship.

“More and more people are curious more and more people are trying non-monogamy or incorporating some element of non-monogamy in the relationship,” he said.

“I think we’re at 33% of people are saying that they would prefer that their relationship have some aspects, some dynamic of non-monogamy in their working in their relationship.”

How Couple to Throuple helps viewers explore polyamorous relationships

Obviously, the title of the show is self-explanatory – and it’s centred around opening up couples to other options. However, Scott pointed out how an inside look at polyamorous relationships may help outsiders understand them better.

“I think it’s it’s a very interesting look at what happens with relationships and individuals when they’re honest and open about what they’re curious about what their desires are,” he said.

Scott added that watching a show like this with a partner could be the first step towards a polyamorous relationship.

“If we were able to say to our partner, ‘Here’s something I’m curious about, here’s something I think I’m, I’m into, what do you think about that, whether we go through with it or not?'”

“Just having a soft place to land matters to somebody and makes such a big difference in how we build relationships with our partners and with ourselves,” he said.

“Certainly, if we’re able to have better, clearer, and more honest conversations with ourselves and with our partners about what we want, and that those things are okay, regardless of whether we pursue them or not, then I think we’re definitely taking a step in the right direction.”

Jade and Ridge somehow got an X-rated video through the MAFS social media police

by Danica Baker

Jade Pywell and Ridge Barredo’s relationship is absolutely thriving on Married At First Sight, and their latest x-rated Instagram post shows that their sexual chemistry is too.

It’s well known that MAFS participants aren’t allowed direct access to their social media accounts. Instead, they submit content and captions to producers, who approve them to be published.

The posts usually consist of professional photos from the experiment, with rather generic captions. However, Ridge managed to pull a swift one on the producers and get a raunchy photo and video published.

Jade and Ridge on MAFS. Nine.

What is the X-rated post?

Ridge posted a gallery of two photos and a video, and in the clip, Jade’s wearing a bikini and Ridge, erm, literally sticks his nose in his bum crack and gives her a kiss. So, that’s something.

“I’ll happily stay here,” Ridge said, and Jade responded: “Babe, there’s families, you can’t do that when there’s families.”

He captioned the post: “Sun rays during home stays”.

Ridge and Jade’s cheating scandal

While things are looking peachy for Ridge and Jade on Married at First Sight, a whole bunch of drama escalated in their relationship outside of the show.

In February, So Dramatic reported that Ridge had cheated on Jade post-filming. Ridge initially slammed the claims, however Jade then confirmed that it was true to a degree.

During an interview with the Hit Network’s The Pulse with Seany B & Emma G, Jade was asked if there was any truth to the rumours.

“To a certain point, yes,” she responded.

“Ridge is such a nice person like, he’s so caring to everyone so sometimes he can do the wrong thing and message exes without realising that it would upset me,” she continued.

“Certain things probably he disclosed that he shouldn’t have.”

However, while Jade suggested that Ridge had emotionally betrayed her, she did confirm that he didn’t physically cheat on her.

“I think the line is very blurred with it. For me, I feel like it was a line that was crossed that I wasn’t happy with, just because I didn’t know about the interaction.”

“In the physical (cheating) sense like, no.”

FWAW 2023’s Brenton posted a V cute photo with runner-up Rachel, so are they dating?!

by Danica Baker

While Farmer Wants a Wife usually isn’t one for juicy scandals, that may have just changed as 2023’s Farmer Brenton Kuch has posted an adorable photo with runner-up Rachel Boothman.

Brenton found love with Sophie Holcombe on the 2023 season of Farmer Wants A Wife, with many fans disappointed that the farmer didn’t pick Rachel.

However, the couple split in August 2023, and Brenton’s now flaunted his close relationship with Rachel on social media. The pair both attended the country music festival CMC Rocks in Ipswich over the weekend.

Brenton shared this photo with Rachel at the festival. Instagram.

The pic had fans falling over themselves to find out whether Brenton and Rachel were back together.

“Please say you are with Rachel!🤞🥳,” one person wrote. Another commented: “I hope you are back together. She was my first choice for you.”

Rachel also took to Instagram with some telling photos. She posted a group photo that included Brenton, and both reality stars are wearing different clothes from the farmer’s snap, meaning they hung out for multiple days.

Are Rachel and Brenton dating?

Unfortunately for Rachel and Brenton stans, the FWAW contestant has swiftly shut down rumours that she’s dating the farmer.

“Just to clear a few things up for people, Brenton and I are not back together,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia. “We are just really good friends and get along really well, plus over the weekend we were a part of the same friend group.

“This past weekend was the first time we’d seen each other since filming wrapped but we have stayed in contact ever since and decided we would be better off as good friends,” she added.

by Anita Anabel

In 2020, we were introduced to Nicole Kidman’s Nine Perfect Strangers and now, almost four years on, it has been revealed that season two is underway with a stellar cast.

On March 22, Prime Video released a casting announcement for the second instalment which is set to follow Masha (Nicole Kidman) and her problematic wellness retreat once more.

Here’s everything we know about Nine Perfect Strangers season two.

What will it be about?

Given that (at the time of publication) casting has only just been announced, we haven’t got an official synopsis for the next season.

“The Swiss Alps are freezing, but Masha’s brand of wellness never rests,” the accompanying caption read. “Nicole Kidman is on-set for #NinePerfectStrangers Season 2, and we’re already hooked!”

Season one was based on The New York Times bestselling book by author Liane Moriarty and took place at a boutique health-and-wellness resort. Promising healing and transformation, nine stressed city dwellers try to get on a path to a better way of living.

Watching over them during this 10-day retreat is the resort’s director, Masha, a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies. However, these nine “perfect” strangers had no idea what was about to hit them. 

When will Nine Perfect Strangers Season Two be released?

There’s no word on when we’ll be able to see the next season; however, we’re betting on 2025.

Who is in the cast?

Kidman will be joined by Henry Golding, Mark Strong and Lena Olin.

Kidman will once again also executive produce the series.

Ellie and Luke confirm their split, meaning all six The Bachelors 2023 couples have broken up

by Danica Baker

After months of speculation, The Bachelors winners Ellie Rolfe and Luke Bateman have finally confirmed that they’ve split.

Ellie and Ben met on the popular reality show which was filmed mid 2023, and were the only pair to stay together after the episode finished airing.

In the following months, Ellie and Luke flaunted their relationship on social media. However, in recent months both reality stars have stopped posting photos together, and they’ve cleaned out their social media so no couple pics remain – except for those related to the show.

Now, Ben has confirmed that he and Ellie have split in a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle Australia.

“Ellie and I have separated and would like to keep our relationship private,” he said. “Ellie has a soul that lights up every room she walks into and I will sorely miss it in my life.”

What has Ellie said about the breakup?

Ellie hasn’t publicly acknowledged the break up yet, apart from wiping non-The Bachelors-related photos of Luke from Instagram.

However, she did post a photo with former The Bachelors 2023 leads Ben Waddell and Thomas Malucelli at Fashion Week earlier this month.

The post drew questions from her followers, who were curious to know if she was still dating Luke.

“Have you and Luke broken up?!? They’re not following each other,” one person wrote. Another penned: “Where’s Luke? Awww no did you end it?”

Is anyone still together from The Bachelors 2023?

In short, nope!

There were two seasons of The Bachelors in 2023. The first starred Felix Von Hofe, Thomas Malucelli and Jed McIntosh.

Felix chose Jess Navin, and the relationship “fizzled out” shortly after, Jed picked Alésia Delaney who casually dated but split weeks after the finale aired, and Thomas got engaged to Leah Cummings in the finale. However, by the time the final episode aired, the couple had already called it quits.

In the second instalment, lead Ben Waddell split with his choice McKenna Lea before the episode aired, and Wesley Senna Cortes broke up with Brea Marshall.

The last couple standing were Ellie and Luke, however, that’s clearly done now too.

by Anita Anabel

It feels like forever since we were blessed with House of the Dragon and finally, season two is coming! And on March 22, Binge released the premiere date and the first-ever duelling trailers!

Given that the series follows the war between the Green and Black Councils — and each side believes theirs to be the rightful seat on the Iron Throne — two trailers were released. A Green trailer and a Black trailer, alongside an official hero trailer.

Each of the videos reflects those two perspectives in separate yet complementary halves of the same story, and we as viewers “all must choose” our side of House Targaryen as the realm fractures in season two.

She said what?! Harry Potter’s Miriam Margolyes renders The Project’s Waleed Aly speechless

by Anita Anabel

Former Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes is known for her outlandish remarks; however, during an appearance on The Project, she left host Waleed Aly speechless.

The 82-year-old was serving as a guest panellist during the March 21 broadcast when she shared her views on the current situation in Gaza.

Calling for an immediate ceasefire, Miriam, who is of Jewish faith, had the support of the audience when she said: “Ceasefire now”.

“Whether you’re black or white, it doesn’t matter,” she continued, before turning to Waleed and asking: “What are you by the way? You’re sort of brown?”.

Waleed was visibly shocked and put his head in his hands while laughing.

“This is a really interesting question actually,” he told her. “I’ve thought about this a lot. I’m not joking about that… I’m Egyptian.”

Miriam, undeterred by the shock waves she had sent through the studio, then said: “Well, lucky I think, because I like the Egyptian people.”

She then admitted she was “on the side of the Palestinians”.

“I have to tell you that now, being Jewish, we always have to say what we are. Are we for Israel or are we against Israel? I’m only for humanity. Ceasefire,” she said.

Waleed, acknowledging the change of conversation, then added: “Well I think it’s safe to say that conversation did not go as predicted!” 

“Who the hell cares. It’s important!” Miriam said, concluding the conversation.

Recently, the actor who played Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter series also shocked journalists — and fans around the world — when admitting she was concerned about adult fans of the film franchise because “they should be over that by now”.

She certainly doesn’t mince her words!

Sul sul! Margot Robbie is bringing a Sims movie to life and we’ve got some brilliant ideas to pitch

by Anita Anabel

Get ready to blur out your nude bits, walk through tables and watch someone else have an existential crisis right in front of your eyes; because the popular computer game The Sims is getting the movie treatment!

Hot off the heels of Barbie and in excellent news, Margot Robbie‘s production company, LuckyChap, is behind the new project — which meant we absolutely had to turn her into a Sim (above) thanks to Picsart!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kate Herron, best known for directing season one of Marvel’s Loki, is also attached to the film and will co-write the script with Briony Redman.

And if you’re worried about what they might do to our beloved game, don’t gain an irrational — and unchangeable — fear, because EA a.k.a Electronic Arts, will be involved in a creative and producing capacity.

Now, given this amazing news and the fact we’ve been playing The Sims since its inception in 2000, we have SO many ideas on how this film should play out.

Obviously, we’d love to see someone playing the game fall into it — which is the obvious choice; because we want to see a whole movie set in Oasis Springs or Del Sol Valley! We want horses, we want mermaids, we want possessed Strangerville characters and basically, we want to see Sims walking around in circles, people unable to move and every little intricacy of the whole game on-screen!

This means: does the character leave the lot?! Yes, then their infant must be sent five-game kms away. Is there a little bit of woohoo action going on?! Get under those doona covers and let’s see some fireworks! Want to get rich quick?! HIT THE MOTHERLODE, BABY!

Basically, this is the best news long-time fans have been given since the new stuff packs and we can’t wait to see how it comes to life.
