Intruder Sarah leaves The Bachelor Australia

Sadly for Sarah, she couldn't intrude on Richie Strahan's heart, as she was eliminated on Thursday night's episode of The Bachelor Australia.

With only eight bachelorettes left, things certainly got heated as the girls were taken on a very Scottish group date.

Filled with dancing, the highlands and a haggis eating contest, it seemed like intruder Sarah Harding was catching Richie’s attention for all the wrong reasons.

The 26-year-old motorbike saleswoman couldn’t help but flash her black underwear while competing in a sheaf toss challenge.

“I think I’m mooning a lot of people at the same time,” she admitted.

One person who had no issue getting their kit off was Alex during her delicious single date filled with chocolates, an edible bath and of course that red rose.

Sadly for Sarah, her heart was left in the highlands, with Richie saying goodbye to her.

We caught up with eliminated motorbike lover to chat about her brief time in the house.

What did you think of Richie when you first met him?

I thought he was lovely, really handsome and just a really genuine nice guy.

Did he give you any indication of what kind of girls he likes? Did he give you any particular compliments?

He said I looked nice in my motorbike stuff. I think we talked about things we had in common but I guess I didn’t ask what kind of girls he likes.

What are your feelings towards Richie at this point?

I still think he is an awesome guy. He is a nice, genuine, lovely man who is going to make some girl really happy.

The 26-year-old blonde from the Gold Coast rode into the show and created a storm!

Is there anything about you that you wished Richie had got to know or got to know differently?

Ye,s I wish he got to know me a little bit more in a closer setting. With the girls around I got a little nervous but if I had got to have a single date, he would have got to know my personality without me being nervous.

If you had your time over in the house, would you do anything differently?

I would probably be a bit more confident in myself. By being confident, I would have thought a bit more about the questions to ask Richie and gone a little deeper when answering a bit deeper.

What was your favourite moment in the Bachelor experience?

Going on the dirt bike date and riding bikes with Richie.

Watch Sarah’s highlight’s from tonight’s episode in the player below! Article continues…

What would you say was your lowest moment on the show?

My second rose ceremony when the other girls went home and I got the rose instead of them, I felt really bad. I hate seeing other people upset and hurt, I would rather be upset myself.

Who was your best friend in the house and why?

Steph, she was always there to talk to me. I made friends with all of the girls, they are really beautiful girls and I can’t wait to talk to them after they are out of the house.

Is there anyone from the show you’re happy to say goodbye to and why?

Not really. I thought all of the girls were really lovely.

Sarah with her fellow intruders, now-eliminated Khalia, and still-vying for Richie, Steph.

While Sarah had eyes for the hunky WA boy, sadly the feeling wasn’t mutual.

What’s next for you out in the real world?

Getting back into work and the gym and hopefully finding another nice guy.

Do you still believe in love?

I still believe in love, hopefully with someone who is out there for me… and hopefully he likes motorbikes!

What advice would you give to the girls left in the show?

To not waste any time and use every moment to tell Richie your feeling, as you only have one chance and you don’t want them to go to waste.

Who do you think is going to win?

I’m hoping Faith but maybe Alex.

Check out Alex’s adverse reaction to the intruders in the video below!

5 high-iron foods that aren’t meat

Check out our top five ways to meet you daily iron needs – no steak necessary!
Halle Berry

Iron is considered an essential mineral for your body’s everyday function.

While it helps to carry fresh oxygen through your blood, iron also aids in healthy immune function, cognitive performance and you guessed it, energy.

To reach the daily quota, the average woman should consume about 18 mg of iron, while men require less at 8 mg.

Vegans and vegetarians will know that trying to meet this daily requirement can indeed be a challenge, but with one third of the world’s population deemed iron-deficient it would seem that this struggle isn’t exclusive to non-meat eaters.

Many believe that the best way to hit the mark is to gobble up a juicy steak, but it may surprise you to discover that there are several delicious and even more nutritious meat-free ways and to get your daily serve.

Keep reading to discover our top 5 iron-packed foods!

Try this ginger soy bean soup from our friends over at Food To Love!

1. Spinach

Popeye wasn’t wrong about this super-food.

With a reputation for being incredibly healthy, spinach packs around 20 different vitamins and minerals, while being one of the highest natural sources of iron.

Just one cup of cooked spinach will provide your body with 6.4 milligrams of irony goodness in just 40 calories.

That’s more than a steak, and over one third of your daily requirements in one delicious side dish!

2. Soy beans

With almost double the iron of a steak; 100 grams of soybeans contain just over 5 milligrams of iron, making them one of the easiest ways to reach your daily quota.

These little gems are also a source of eight essential amino acids, making them the only complete non-animal protein, and what’s more, they’re abundant in fiber, calcium and B vitamins.

Try adding these gems to your soups or salads for a great tasting iron kick.

Substitute meat with lentils using this lentil sausage rolls with tomato sumac salad recipe.

3. Lentils

Plenty of vegetarians share a concern in reaching their daily protein and iron requirements; but thanks to lentils you can kill two birds with one delicious stone!

With 3.3 milligrams of iron and 26 grams of protein per 100 grams, lentils come in at a close second from soybeans. They’re also rich in potassium, fibre and vitamin B1.

From curry and soup, to burgers and pastas, there’s really no limit as to what you can whip up using these bad boys.

4. Potatoes

Somewhere along the line, potatoes got confused as a starchy ball full of calories, rather than the delicious super-food they really are.

One medium potato, cooked with the skin on, contains 3.2 milligrams of irony goodness. That’s almost one fifth of your daily needs!

And since these fluffy nuggets also contain generous amounts of vitamin C, you can be sure that every last bit will be absorbed by the body.

Duchess Catherine and Prince William

Duchess Catherine knows the amazing benefits of dark chocolate…

5. Dark chocolate

Because we just had to include something sweet!

We bet you’ll be thrilled to discover that a huge 8 milligrams of iron can be found in just 100 grams of delicious dark chocolate – that’s almost 45% of your daily needs.

Now we don’t suggest that you make this a daily habit – because we’re talking about a lot of calories here, but for a midnight snack or movie night binge? Why not.

Everything in moderation, right?

James Corden speaks candidly about Hollywood’s perception of bigger people

The popular talk show host talks about his beef with Hollywood in Rolling Stone magazine.
James Corden

James Corden has anchored himself as one of Hollywood’s greatest talk show hosts, but the 38-year-old has a bone to pick with the entertainment industry.

Appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone – in bed and in the buff, no less – the Late Late Show host says he could never understand why larger people are always portrayed differently in movies.

“I could never understand when I watch romantic comedies the notion that for some reason unattractive or heavy people don’t fall in love,” James told the magazine.

“If they do, it’s in some odd, kooky, roundabout way — and it’s not. It’s exactly the same.”

The popular talk show host says “heavy people” fall in love just like everyone else, despite what romcoms portray

The British star went on to explain how he met his wife of almost four years, Julia Carey.

“I met my wife, she barely owned a television and worked for Save the Children. We sat down one night and we fell in love and that was it,” he explained.

James was well known in his native England, but only became a household name globally after signing on with the US talk show last year.

The 38-year-old went on to explain how he met his wife Julia

The former Broadway theatre star also opened up about how he dealt with growing up as a bigger kid.

“If you’re big at school, you’ve really got two choices,” he shared.

“You’re going to be a target. If you go to school and you’re me, you go, ‘Right, I’m just going to make myself a bigger target. My confidence, it will terrify them.’ That’s how I felt in school.”

The internet is suspicious about Carrie Bickmore’s new hair colour

Carrie Bickmore debuted a dramatic new hair colour this week, and people of the internet have plenty of questions.
Carrie Bickmore

Carrie Bickmore ditched her blonde locks and stepped over to the dark side this week and we are totally digging the new do.

Earlier in the week The Project host said she was ready for a new look after basically being a blonde forever.

“Do you know, I have the same colour hair for 35-years and I was bored and I thought, ‘Why not!'” Carrie explained. “I’m giving it a whirl.”

Naturally, the Garnier Nutrisse ambassador’s brunette locks also provided the perfect chance to spruik the brand’s hair dye range.

After unveiling the dramatic change a new ad claims Carrie’s colour is the result of using packet dye, Garnier Nutrisse Number 6 Acorn to be precise.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BJeL14iD5CJ/?taken-by=garnierau

But social media users have been quick to question whether the TV host’s hair transformation was in fact created using dye straight from the packet.

https://twitter.com/definatalie/status/653542514842996737
https://twitter.com/jenjohnson6/status/566736659727667200

Well ladies and gentlemen, apparently it was from a packet.

As told to Mamamia:

Garnier spokeswoman Debbie Watson confirmed to Mamamia Garnier products were used and that Carrie had a team of colour experts to take her from blonde to brunette on Saturday morning — the same day the TV ad campaign was shot.

“Due to the nature of the campaign and the desire to have an exciting, big reveal (like on The Project Monday night) … they had to do it quickly,” Watson said.

The brand’s spokeswoman admitted that colour correction was involved as blonde hair can tint a little green if dark dye is put right on top.

Renee Zellweger is fed up with being questioned about ageing

The 47-year-old actress says ageing isn't a "negative" thing and would like for it to stop being a topic of interviews.
Renee Zellweger

As Renee Zellweger comes back from her six-year hiatus from Hollywood to promote her new film Bridget Jones’s Baby, the 47-year-old actress is baffled as to why everyone is only interested in talking about her looks.

In an interview for The Hollywood Reporter, the Texas-born star got fired up after she was questioned about ageing in the showbiz industry.

“I’ve never seen the maturation of a woman as a negative thing,” Renee said in the cover story.

“I’ve never seen a woman stepping into her more powerful self as a negative. But this conversation perpetuates the problem.”

She went on to add, “Why are we talking about how women look? Why do we value beauty over contribution?”

“We don’t seem to value beauty over contribution for men. It’s simply not a conversation.”

The 47-year-old actress says men’s looks aren’t under anywhere near as much scrutiny as women’s

The fascination with Renee’s face has been ongoing since she stepped out at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood Awards in 2014, sparking speculation she’s had plastic surgery.

She put the rumours to bed after explaining that her different looks were a result of being “healthy” and simply getting “older”.

Or so she thought.

The issue re-surfaced when a film critic for Variety questioned the actress’ looks in a piece titled Renee Zellweger: If She No Longer Looks Like Herself, Has She Become a Different Actress? in June.

Renee responded in an essay penned for Huffington Post, in which she wrote, “Not that it’s anyone’s business, but I did not make a decision to alter my face and have surgery on my eyes.”

In the piece titled We Can Do Better, the actress also pointed out that the media’s focus on trivial things like appearance “increasingly takes air time away from the countless significant unprecedented current events affecting our world.”

Is this dress appropriate for a wedding? The internet can’t decide

Thoughts?

If you’ve ever been invited to a wedding, the invite normally gives you some vague dress code cue, such as ‘black tie’, ‘smart casual’ or ‘cocktail’, but the truth is there’s way more to wedding guest dressing than simply finding a ‘nice dress’.

In fact, the list of what’s deemed ‘inappropriate’ often feels so dang long that just give up and resort to buying a brand new dress just for the occasion. As far as colours go, you can’t wear black, white, red, cream, blush or anything considered too ‘short’, ‘casual’ or ‘sexy’.

I mean, we don’t want to get this reaction when we rock up to our friend’s nuptials do we?

Basically, it’s a total minefield and nobody really knows what they’re doing so they all end up opting for some version of a pink shift.

But what about items of clothing that feature the ~FoRbIdDeN~ colours as part of a pretty pattern? Well one Reddit user, honeycomehome, has asked just this, sharing a picture of a white and red floral dress with the question ‘is this dress too white to wear to a wedding?’.

And, the internet being the internet, everyone had an opinion.

Some said the dress wasn’t really ‘white’, per se, but more ‘floral’, and so it was totally fine to wear.

Meanwhile, others said that if you’re not sure about it, it’s probably a no-go (y’know, ’cause it’s better safe than sorry).

Honestly, who even knows anymore?

Our advice? If you’re in this predicament, save yourself some cash and just borrow a dress from a mate, as you do not want to be ‘that person’ who triggers the bridezilla on her big day. Just sayin’.
