In an Instagram post on Tuesday evening the 44-year-old Irish actor posted a still picture of Dylan Voller – a former NT juvenile inmate who was shown restrained and hooded in a chair in footage obtained by ABC’s Four Corners.
Mr Theroux captioned the shot:
“’Dylan Voller’ c. 2015 -artist unknown #notaNVG… YET. #melbourne #dylanvoller”
The ambiguous post seemed to have many wondering if Mr Theroux did confuse the picture for an artwork because of the previous National Gallery of Victoria images on his account. The hazy reason for the post has caused many to vent outrage and demand further explanation.
“That’s shameful of you @justintheroux,” one commenter remarked.
“This is not an artwork, this is what’s happening within juvenile justice centres in Australia as we speak… NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL…” wrote another.
However the “#notaNVG” could allude to the star is using his 262k follower-strong platform to raise awareness, and highlight the possibility that in the future the shocking picture could come to stand as a symbol of how our nation treats kids in detention.
On Instagram pundit seemed to sum up the sentiments of many following the revelations: “Ashamed to be an Australian if this is how we treat kids.”
Lindsay Lohan allegedly roused her entire street in London with her calls for help during a heated argument at 5am on Saturday with her partner, Russian millionaire Egor Tarabasov, as she accused the 22-year-old of trying to strangle her.
According to several reports, the actress could be heard screaming at Egor from the balcony of her Knightsbridge apartment, allegedly shouting, “He just strangled me. He almost killed me.”
The Sun reports that the 30-year-old star began yelling her name and address for everyone to hear, before telling Egor to leave her house.
“Please please please. He just strangled me. He almost killed me. Everybody will know. Get out of my house,” a woman can be heard yelling in video footage obtained by The Sun.
“I’m done. I don’t love you anymore. You tried to kill me. You’re a f—ing psycho,” Lindsay reportedly shouted.
After Lindsay’s neighbours contacted the police in a panic, officers arrived at the apartment and smashed down the door, only to find the residence empty. No arrests were made.
“She woke our whole house up with her screaming. I was really concerned about her safety – it sounded like she needed help,” one neighbour told The Sun, while another said, “The silence of night was broken with this dreadful shouting and swearing and crying.”
Addressing the latest drama, Lindsay took to Instagram to ask for calm.
“I would appreciate if these speculations regarding my personal life would respectfully come to a halt. Unfortunately, a private matter has become more public than I can control and I would be extremely grateful if my fiancé and myself could discuss our personal matters on our own,” she penned just mere hours after publicly calling him out on social media.
“There are more important things going on in the world than our relationship. Please leave us be to solve our personal matters,” she concluded alongside a photo of a cloud in the shape of a heart.
“I guess I was the same at 23… S—-y time-it changes at 26/27 @e2505t thanks for not coming home tonight,” she wrote, tagging Egor in a now-deleted photo on Instagram. “Fame changes people.”
Later, she posted another photo of Egor at a nightclub, accusing him of being with a “Russian hooker” who she seemed to identify as fashion designer Dasha Pashevkina.
“Wow thanks #fiance with Russian hooker,” she captioned the picture, seemingly very angry at the pair.
Lindsay then posted a cryptic message that hinted she might be pregnant.
She posted a link to the poster of her 2009 movie Labor Pains with the words “Lindsay Lohan Labor Pains Trailer – I am pregnant!!”
The figure-hugging jumpsuit drew attention to all the right places, with peek-a-boo panels that showed off each one of the mother-of-two’s enviable curves.
With a demanding career as an actress, dancer, singer, performer, producer and American Idol judge – not to mention her full time role as a mother to two adorable kids, we can’t help but wonder how this superstar manages to find time to work on her seemingly flawless bod.
Well, we did some digging and as it turns out, J.Lo’s curvaceous yet toned figure can be credited to a range of healthy foods and a few well-aimed punches.
“I always liked it,” the brunette beauty quipped of her passion for boxing while promoting her television show Shades of Blue. “It’s very hard, but it’s always been a good workout.”
Speaking to News.com.au of her long-time love for combat as a form of fitness, Jenny from the Block revealed, “When you learn how to do something real well, like for me, I was taught how to box for a movie called Money Train, in the ’90s, you never forget it.”
“I also learned Krav Maga for the movie, Enough (2002). So, I’ve always loved those different kinds of techniques and I’ve always been athletic in that way.”
But as the years pass by (despite the fact that she hasn’t aged a day since 20), Jennifer admits that she’s had to switch up her fitness regime to accommodate for her age.
“I’ve started to do more weights which you need to do as you get older because you lose muscle,” she explained.
“You have to realise that what works for you in your ’20s doesn’t necessarily work in your ’40s. But when it comes to ageing, I don’t put limits on myself. I don’t think to myself, ‘can I do what I’m doing now in two years?’ I don’t think like that.”

And the Maid in Manhattan actress knows that when it comes to fitness, it’s all about that healthy balance.
Speaking of her Olympian mentality when it comes to keeping her figure, the star believes that you need to fuel up to work hard.
“Staying in shape is like being in training. It’s like being an athlete. You have to eat for power and for what you need.”
In a recent interview with People, Jen’s trainer, Tracy Anderson, revealed the all-organic diet responsible for the quadruple threat’s daily energy.
“I have her eating very clean because she needs really good fuel for all the things that she’s doing,” the celeb trainer explained to People.
“It’s all organic and it’s all very well thought out, with the balance of very high quality proteins and a lot of nutrient-dense food.”
But diets and workouts aside, Tracy believes that her client’s true beauty and confidence comes from her inner happiness.
“What’s going on inside of us is a really reflection of what’s going on on the outside of us, and she’s very a happy person and that just translates into beauty.”
“She loves life, and loving life is taking care of her body.”

When Michelle Obama took to the stage of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Monday she used the occasion to endorse the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, as well as deliver a powerful speech that touched on her family’s historical eight-year tenure in the White House.
“I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my two black daughters playing with their dogs on the White House lawn,” Mrs Obama reflected to a packed crowd at the Wells Fargo Center. “Because of Hillary, my daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.”
Mrs Obama then went on to give a glowing recommendation for the former New York Senator, Secretary of State and her FLOTUS predecessor.
“I’m with her,” Obama sated before saying that 68-year-old Clinton had the “guts and grace to keep coming back to put those cracks in the glass ceiling.”
In her stirring address – which brought many to tears – an unflappable Mrs Obama took aim at the Republican presidential nominee. Without naming him, she draw a sharp and scathing portrait of Donald Trump and his campaign slogan, “Make American Great Again.”
“Don’t let someone tell you this country isn’t great — that we need to make it great again,” Obama told the crowd. “Because, right now, this country is the greatest country on Earth.”
“When you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and military at your command, you can’t make snap decisions,” Obama warned.
“You can’t have thin skin or a tendency to lash out. You need to be steady and well-informed. I want a president with a record of public service, someone who’s life work shows our children we don’t chase fame and fortune for ourselves.”
When Mrs Obama finished the crowd rose to give her a standing ovation.
President Barack Obama took to Twitter to praise the First Lady after her powerful address.
“Incredible speech by a incredible woman,” the president tweeted about his wife. “Couldn’t be more proud & our country has been blessed to have her as FLOTUS. I love you, Michelle.”
Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton and urges Democratic party to unite
Vermont Senator and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, the man who started a movement, also had his fans in tears.
While the 74-year-old acknowledged his supporters helped him run a very strong race he conceded to play the role of healer.
“I understand that many people here in this convention hall and around the country are disappointed about the final results of the nominating process,” Sanders said. “I think it’s fair to say that no one is more disappointed than I am. But to all of our supporters — here and around the country — I hope you take enormous pride in the historical accomplishments we have achieved.”
He then went on to urge his supporters to unite and support Hillary Clinton in a bid to keep the Republicans out of the White House.
“Based on her ideas and her leadership, Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States,” Sanders said. “The choice is not even close.”
While there was mixed emotion in the room about his endorsement Senator Sanders warned that if the Democratic party couldn’t come together then they could be stuck with a far worse alternative come November.
“If you think you can sit it out, take a moment to think about the Supreme Court justices that Donald Trump would nominate and what that would mean to civil liberties, equal rights and the future of our country,” Sanders warned.
Brian McFadden, who has two daughters Molly, 14 and Lily-Sue, 13 with ex-wife Kerry Katona, joined the Loose Women panel in the UK to discuss the matter of priviledged parents who spoil their children.
The panel spoke about celebrity children like Brooklyn Beckham, who was gifted a £30,000 Mercedes after passing his driving test – presumably paid for by his parents Victoria and David Beckham.
Brian, who moved to Austraila after he spilt with Kerry, revealed that he used to feel guilty about not seeing them and often tried to make up for it by buying them whatever they wanted.
“The children went to live with [Kerry]. And when you spend that much time away from the kids you do get that guilt.
“When you do see them after a long time you do spoil them even more, it’s almost like you are trying to buy their affection.”
However, Brian then admitted that it all changed when he moved back to the UK: “For me I started to notice the girls would start to regularly text me. They were looking for something.
“So for me how I’m changing it now if they want something substantial for their birthday or for Christmas, I make them earn half the money themselves and I will pay the other half.”
Seems like a fair suggestion, right? Janet-Street Porter even voiced her support for the technique of trying to get his children to understand the value of money and how it doesn’t just magically appear.
Nadia Swalha wasn’t so sure, stating that using this techinique on birthday presents was a little harsh.
After a cheating scandal rocked the long-time couple earlier this year, it looks like Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have reconciled – but the music star won’t be getting off scot-free!
Sharon Osbourne is opening up about her painful separation from hubby Ozzy Osbourne, after the Black Sabbath rocker said the couple were “back on track” during an interview with Good Morning America.
“I can’t speak for him, but for me, yes, I forgive,” Sharon said during an episode of her show The Talk this week.
“It’s going to take a long time to trust, but we’ve been together 36 years, 34 of them marriage, and it’s more than half of my life,” she added.

However, that doesn’t mean the 63-year-old talk show host is willing to let some of Ozzy’s more controversial behaviour slide.
“I just can’t think of my life without him. Even though he is a dog. He’s a dirty dog,” she continued.
“So there we are. He’s going to pay big.”
Sharon’s comments come just a few weeks after it was first reported that the couple had rekindled their long-standing romance with the help of couple’s therapy sessions.
The pair were rumoured to have split over allegations that Ozzy had been caught cheating with a Los Angeles-based hairstylist, and Sharon later confirmed she had kicked her husband out of the house as they worked through their issues.
In his appearance on GMA alongside son Jack on Monday, Ozzy opened up about his marriage to Sharon, revealing, “Some days are good. Some days are terrible. Some days you just drift apart for a while but you get back on the horse”.
However, that particular comment didn’t sit too well with Sharon, who fired back on The Talk after Ozzy’s interview went public.
“’Get back on the horse?’ How dare he! He’s just a romantic fool,” the British star reportedly said.
“It’s been very hard. I shouldn’t speak for him, but I know he wants to come on this show anyway and talk for himself to you all.
“He’s very embarrassed and ashamed about his conduct.”

This isn’t the first time the couple have gone through a rocky patch in their relationship, which began when the pair met back in the ‘70s. They briefly split up in 2013 after Ozzy relapsed following years of sobriety, but eventually got back together.
They have three children together, 32-year-old Aimee, 31-year-old Kelly and 30-year-old Jack.

Others have taken to social media to show their support for Clinton after Bernie Sanders endorsed her to be the next Democratic candidate nominee earlier today.

It seems the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry sadly won’t be attending this year’s Rio Olympics.
While there’s been no official word from the palace as to why the royals have declined to go to the International event, UK reports have claimed Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry are skipping the upcoming Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil due to concerns over the Zika virus.
Even though health officials say the outbreak is under control it’s understandable that as parents of a young family Kate and William, both 34, haven’t ruled out the possibility of having more children and the risks associated with being exposed could complicate plans to grow their brood.
And the Duke and Duchess aren’t the only royals to show concerns.
Princess Charlene of Monaco, 38, will also not attend this year’s events due to “important health concerns” her husband, Prince Albert of Monaco, revealed to the UK’s Daily Express on Sunday, July 24. “She doesn’t like what she’s been reading and hearing about the Zika virus,” Albert, 58, said.
The news of the royals missing the 2016 Olympic Games is especially surprising because Kate and William, 34, previously served as “special ambassadors” of the London Olympics with Harry, 31, back in 2012.
However the Queen’s daughter Princess Anne is believed to still be attending to support Team GB. The 65-year-old equestrian enthusiast’s daughter Zara Tindall won a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics but was not selected for this year’s Olympics.
Michael Jordan has penned an emotional post about the recent shootings committed by and against police officers, and has pledged $2 million to help put a stop to it.
Michael Jordan has penned an emotional post about a cause close to his heart: the recent shootings committed by and against police officers.
The NBA great pledged $2 million to the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s Institute for Community-Police Relations and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund after opening up about how his father, James Jordan, was murdered at the hands of gun violence in 1993.
“As a proud American, a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of violence, and a black man, I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement and angered by the cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers,” Jordan, 53, wrote in a blog post for The Undefeated. “I grieve with the families who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well.”
“I was raised by parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their race or background, so I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be getting worse as of late,” he continued. “I know this country is better than that, and I can no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers – who put their lives on the line every day to protect us all – are respected and supported.”
Jordan said he had the “greatest respect” for law enforcement, but also could not condone the violence shown by them too often towards many black Americans.
“The problems we face didn’t happen overnight and they won’t be solved tomorrow,” Jordan concluded. “But if we all work together, we can foster greater understanding, positive change and create a more peaceful world for ourselves, our children, our families and our communities.”
