The annual Myer Spring Fashion Launch packed a punch with glitz and glam.

All your favourite Australian celebs poured into Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Tuesday night to see what the department store’s latest offering as the winter chill dispels.

And while the show was, of course, all about the fashion, we couldn’t help but notice the running theme of love throughout the evening!

Australia’s biggest couples took to the red carpet to show off their affection, from Myer muse Jen Hawkins and hubby Jake Wall, to Bachelor couple Anna Heinrich and Tim Robards.

And it would seem that all that hand holding and goo-goo eyes even inspired one unlikely pair to get cosy as the lights went down…

Click through the gallery to see all the best moments from the star-studded event!

Brand ambassador Jennifer Hawkins put her best foot forward as she led the runway.

On the red carpet, all eyes were on Rachael Finch and her baby bump as she posed proudly next to husband, Michael Miziner, just days after announcing their exciting pregnancy news.

A pregnant Phoebe Burgess, pictured here next to hubby Sam, also showed off her burgeoning belly while admitting to MailOnline that her biggest cravings currently consist of “apples and cheeseburgers!”

And it seemed to be a lover’s affair as Bachelor couple Tim and Anna arrived.

Putting on a loved-up display was the lady of the evening and her husband Jake Wall, who couldn’t have been more proud of his stunning wife.

And while the 32-year-old strutted her stuff in a nautical-themed bikini…

Proud Jake simply couldn’t take his eyes off her! Watch the blonde beauty take on the runway in the next slide! Gallery continues after…

Neighbours’ new arrival Jodi Anasta shared this stunning snap of her “all white” look, and clearly the newly-single mother was feeling her best self!

And while the slew of Aussie celebs were there to observe the stunning Spring collections…

One particular pair couldn’t help but flirt up a storm! The single mum was spotted chatting to model and fellow front rower, Jordan Stenmark.

After splitting from husband Michael earlier this year, a brightly dressed Lindy Klim admitted that she’s found the love of her life in British builder Adam Ellis. “Adam is amazing and I’m really fortunate that I found him,” she said to the Daily Mail. “It’s been a tough little while for me, but I’m really happy now.”

Leaving their nine-month-old daughter, Kelsey Lee, at home, Kyly Clarke and hubby Michael hit the red carpet hand-in-hand for a parent’s night out!

Model Kris Smith stepped out looking the picture of happiness with his stunning girlfriend Maddie King. “I’ve got a keeper!” He quipped of the leggy brunette.

TV presenter Sophie Falkiner (L) stunned in bright blue while news presenter Natarsha Belling opted for a classic little black dress.

And after the show is the after party! Taking to Instagram, fashion guru Alex Perry shared a celebratory selfie with his muse. “CONGRATULATIONS MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND @jenhawkins_ YOU WERE SPECTACULAR LAST NIGHT!!!!” he wrote.

It sure was a night to remember!

Kardashians in hot water over sponsored Instagram posts

Looks like our first reality TV family are having a little trouble keeping up with the law...

We uncovered the skinny on teas and now it seems like the Kardashian klan have landed themselves in some major hot water!

Nonprofit consumer group Truth in Advertising has shed a light on the family continuously sharing Instagram photos without labeling them as sponsored posts.

“We found that members of the Kardashian/Jenner family are engaged in deceptive marketing campaigns for various companies by routinely creating and publishing sponsored social media posts for such companies without clearly and conspicuously disclosing that they are paid representatives or that the posts are advertisements,” Truth in Advertising wrote in a letter addressed to Kris Jenner and lawyer Michael Kump on August 17.

Check out more on their legal drama in the video player… Article continues below!

Reviewing Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie’s Instagram accounts, the organisation claim that all the ladies have violated “federal law” for not making clear that certain posts were advertisements.

Together, the KUWTK starlets boast an impressive 316 million followers.

The issue is many of their share snaps aren’t very clear. While Kylie, Kourtney and Khloe all posing with their FitTea may look like an ad, Kendall sharing her favourite Calvin Kleins or Estee Lauder products, makes things murky, considering the 21-year-old is a paid spokesperson for the brands.

The posts in question…

Unlike her sisters, Kourt clearly labels her posts.

The nonprofit group have provided detailed guidelines for the gang, advising the best way to alert their fans if they’ve been paid for a post and recommending the use of hashtags like #ad or #sponsored.

Back in May, Kourtney’s baby daddy Scott Disick had a major Instagram fail after posting the instructions from an advertiser straight into the caption for a sponsored post.

While he tried to salvage the upload by editing the caption, of course the internet immortalised the slip-up by taking a screenshot of the original post.

Something went awry!

The girls need to change their ways!

Richard Cleland from the Federal Trade Commission admits he hopes the letter to the reality stars helps educate other celebs, bloggers and Instagram celebrities.

“Our approach is going to be educational, particularly with bloggers. We’re focusing on the advertisers: What kind of education are you providing them, are you monitoring the bloggers and whether what they’re saying is true?,” he told Fast Company.

It seems like the letter has done its job.

On Monday, Kim shared a video of herself chomping down on a SugarBearHair gummy.

Clearly marking it as a paid post, she captioned the clip, “#ad Excited to be partnering with @sugarbearhair to share their amazing hair vitamins with you! These chewable gummy vitamins are delicious and a favorite part of my hair care routine #sugarbearhair.”

A mother has shared a heartbreaking video of her baby daughter struggling to breathe after contracting whooping cough.

Warning This footage may be distressing to some viewers.

Sydney mum, Sandra Tee has shared a video of her baby daughter struggling to breathe after contracting whooping cough.

In an upsetting video on Facebook that Sandra posted on Monday, five-week-old Heidi can be seen gasping for air while wearing a tiny oxygen mask.

The baby girl contracted the disease after an outbreak of whooping cough at her older brother’s day care centre.

“This video may distress some people but I’m sharing to show just how scary and dangerous whooping cough is to babies who are too young to be vaccinated,” the Sydney mum wrote. “Whooping cough is not always a loud obvious cough. The scary symptom for babies is when they don’t cough but silently choke and turn blue/purple from lack of oxygen.”

Sandra wants this heartbreaking footage to be shared across cyberspace, in order to help bring to light the importance of vaccinations and the impact on little ones lives.

Helen Mirren slays in this sexist interview from 1975

Helen Mirren endures sexist 1975 Michael Parkinson interview and comes out looking like a boss queen.

Profile picture of Now to Love

It might be vintage Helen Mirren but her attitude is as contemporary as ever.

In 1975 the then 20-something actress sat down with renowned interviewer Michael Parkinson for what might be the most sexist interview she’s ever had to endure.

After being introduced with an opening monologue that referenced Helen as a “sex queen” and made mention to her “projecting sluttish eroticism” (yes, it got worse), there were open remarks on her breasts, more comments about her sex appeal, and even one instance where Parky dismissively insinuated she couldn’t act at all.

All the while Mirren, who was gearing up to play Lady Macbeth, kept calling him out on his chauvinism.

“You are, in quotes, a serious actress,” said Parkinson, going so far as to make air signs with his hands.

A poised Mirren protested, “In quotes?…What do you mean in quotes? How dare you.”

Then another question, more shocking than the last.

“Do you find it to be fact that, what could be best described as your equipment hinders you in that pursuit [of being considered a serious actress]?”

Gracefully Mirren questioned him back, “I’d like you to explain what you mean by my equipment in greater detail.”

“Your physical attributes,” Parkinson sheepishly clarified.

“You mean my fingers?” Mirren probed.

Parkinson finally conceded to meaning “figure,” and Mirren asked him, “Because serious actresses can’t have big bosoms, is that what you mean?”

“I think it might detract from the performance,” Parkinson fudged, “if you know what I mean.”

Then Queen Mirren owns him.

“I can’t say that would necessarily be true,” Mirren said. “I mean what a crummy performance if people are obsessed with the size of your bosom over anything else. I would hope that the performance and the play and the living relationship between all the people on the stage and all the people in the audience would overcome such . . . boring questions, really.”

Boring questions, indeed.

Decades later Mirren said she watched the interview again and told The Telegraph she thought she did rather well, considering she was so nervous and it was her first chat show ever.

“That’s the first talk show I’d ever done,” Mirren said. “I was terrified. I watched it and I actually thought, bloody hell! I did really well. I was so young and inexperienced. And he was such a fucking sexist old fart. He was. He denies it to this day that it was sexist, but of course he was.”

Parky and Mirren have chatted since and while the legendary interviewer tried to chalk it all down to youthful silliness the Oscar-winner wanted him to know that he was out of line – whether he would ever admit it or not.

“I hated you,” Mirren announced. “I thought you were a sexist person for mentioning my breasts.”

Courteney Cox says she regrets her cosmetic procedures

The Friends actress revealed to Bear Grylls that she found getting older really difficult.

Courteney Cox has opened up about her cosmetic procedures, saying she regrets chasing youth.

The 52-year-old actress made the candid confession to survival king Bear Grylls when she appeared on his show Running Wild With Bear Grylls.

In a new video clip released by the production, the mother-of-one talks about how she found growing older much harder than she thought it would be.

“Getting older is not the easiest thing,” the brunette confessed. “But I have learnt lessons.”

“I was trying to keep up with getting older and trying to chase that,” she continued.

“Getting older is not the easiest thing. But I have learnt lessons,” the Friends beauty confided.

But Courteney admitted it wasn’t successful for one very important reason.

“It’s something you can’t keep up with,” she said. “The more you relax with it and the less you try…”

She confesses that she definitely wasn’t a fan of the way she looked after her various cosmetic procedures.

“Sometimes you find yourself trying and then you look at a picture of yourself and you go, ‘Oh god, I look horrible.’”

Then and now: A fresh-faced Courteney in 1995 on the left, and on the right the actress shows off a wrinkle-free forehead in 2015.

Courteney says she feels lucky that she didn’t do anything that was totally permanent.

“I have done things that I regret, and luckily there are things that dissolve and go away. So that’s good because it’s not always been my best look.”

The brunette’s new life motto is: “let it be”.

The mother-of-one showed off her hunting skills as she appeared on Running Wild With Bear Grylls.

And Bear was the first to praise the star’s genuine look and persona.

“The natural you is amazing,” he said. “And there’s life in your eyes.”

While on the show with Bear, Courteney had to involve herself in several activities, dangerous and disgusting, and was apprehensive about the process.

WATCH: Courteney talks about her engagement to on-off fiancee Johnny McDaid. Post continues after the video!

In one scene she has to pull herself across a ravine, dangling from a harness and a rope.

In another, she is forced to pick apart a sheep scrotum full of maggots as Bear talks her into her alternative dinner.

It’s safe to say Courteney looked suitably shocked when Bear revealed their menu for the night.

The homework policy going viral

A primary school teacher has won the hearts of children, and some parents, everywhere after she sent a note home detailing her ‘New Homework Policy’.

A primary school teacher has won the hearts of children, and some parents, everywhere after she sent a note home detailing her ‘New Homework Policy’.

Mrs Brandy Young told parents that the students in her class would be trialling “something new” when it came to homework.

The Texan teacher said work sent home would only consist of the work students didn’t get to in class that day, not additional work stacked on top.

She used the note to explain her reasoning.

“Research has been unable to prove that homework improves student performance,” says Mrs Young. “Rather, I ask that you spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success. Eat dinner as a family, read together, play outside, and get your child to bed early.”

When parent Samantha Gallagher got the note out of her daughter’s school bag last week she was so touched she shared it on Facebook where it has been shared over 70 thousand times.

Ms Gallagher aptly captioned: “Brooke is loving her new teacher already!”

Many have come out in praise of the teacher’s new rules.

One top comment on Facebook read:

“This is so awesome as it demonstrates how many parents and teachers would support this kind of policy! Especially for kids in Elementary school. It prioritizes family time and youth activity! I feel 8 hrs a day in school for kids this age is enough.”

Kidnapped Austrian woman Natascha Kampusch spends weekends at the house she was held captive, reports The Daily Mail.

Natascha was just 10-years-old when she was kidnapped and imprisoned for eight years for eight years by lunatic Wolfgang Priklopil.

Priklopil kept Natascha hidden away in a purpose-built cellar of his Vienna home where he used her as a sex slave for almost a decade until she escaped in 2006.

Priklopil, 44, threw himself under a train the same day Natascha fled and died immediately.

His estate was awarded to Natascha as compensation for her years of torture and now The Daily Mail reports the 28-year-old spends weekends at the house where she was held prisoner and has never again spoken to the woman who called the police to rescue her.

Natascha has been opening up about her story as she marks the 10 year anniversary of her escape.

Claims missing woman Karen Ristevski is living overseas on fake passport

I reckon she’s run away.

Profile picture of Now to Love

The brother-in-law of Karen Ristevski believes the missing Melbourne mother has not met with foul play but instead fled overseas on a fake passport, reports the Herald Sun.

Vasko Ristevski, 56, told the newspaper that Mrs Ristevski, 47 was experiencing tensions with her his brother’s ice addicted son, Anthony Rickard, and that may have motivated her to flee to China or the US.

“I reckon she’s run away. That’s my feeling, what with all the rumours going on about Anthony (Rickard),” he said.

“She’s been going overseas to America and Hong Kong each month for the past 10 years on business, and I’m told it’s fairly easy to get a false passport.”

Vasko Ristevski has defended his brother and Karen’s husband, Borce, 52. He told the Herald Sun “a lot of husbands” kill their wives “but no way is Borce capable of that”.

Mrs Ristevski, who runs a boutique, was last seen leaving her Avondale Heights home on June 29 to “clear her head” after reportedly having a fight with her husband.

Reports of Mariah Carey’s diva behaviour just don’t seem to be going away.

According an explosive new report from The Fix, her latest tantrum reportedly had her throwing fiancé James Packer’s computer out a window… all because of Beyonce.

A source told the publication that James has yet to learn how particular his lady love is about music.

The 48-year-old mogul apparently tried to get his 47-year-old lover “in the mood” by popping on a bit of Beyonce’s Crazy in Love.

Looks like poor James might have had the “crazy” part right, as reports say Mariah flew into a rage.

Read how the bizarre events unfolded in the video below. Then, post continues!

Mariah will not have Beyonce played during sexy times, thank you!

“To get her in the mood last month, he turned on Crazy in Love, and oh boy, was that a disaster!” The insider alleged to the publication.

“Mariah threw the computer that was playing it via speakers out the window!”

Lucky James has enough money to buy a new computer. Still, he can’t have been happy!

What would Beyonce think?

“Seriously, just trashed it,” the source continued.

“She ran out of the room screaming. So the night was obviously finished for James, and they retreated to separate parts of the house. And she had a few glasses of wine to cool down.”

Lesson learnt, James! Only Mariah Carey’s music from now on!

See more of Mariah’s crazy antics in the preview for her new reality show Mariah’s World in the clip below.
