Istanbul terror attack: 28 dead, 60 wounded

Three suicide bombers carried out a coordinated attack on the main international airport in Istanbul.

Now to Love

Three suicide bombers have killed at least 28 people and wounded 60 after opening fire and blowing themselves up in the main international airport in Istanbul.

There are unconfirmed reports that up to 50 people died.

The attack upon Ataturk airport at 9.50pm Tuesday night (local time) was well coordinated, with Turkey’s Dogan news agency reporting that ISIS was behind the attack.

“According to information I have received, at the entrance to the Ataturk Airport international terminal a terrorist first opened fire with a Kalashnikov and then blew themself up,” Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said in comments broadcast by CNN-Turk.

Forensic police work through the bomb site

According to witnesses, a hero police officer wrestled a suicide bomber right before he detonated the explosive vest.

Flights in and out of the airport have ground to a halt.

Turkey has been subject to many terror attacks, including two suicide attacks in tourist areas in Istanbul and two car bombings in the country’s capital Ankara.

The most recent attack was a car bomb planted in a police bus, killing 11 people and wounding 11.

Daddy issues abound in brand new trailer for Bridget Jones’s Baby

And now we can’t wait even more until the movie comes out!

CelebrityElizabeth Best

Who’s your daddy?

Looks like Bridget Jones’s baby won’t necessarily know if the new trailer is anything to go by!

A second trailer for the highly anticipated follow up to the Bridget Jones saga has landed and it’s everything we’d dreamed it would be!

See the hilarious first trailer we couldn’t stop watching below. Post continues.

The second trailer delves much deeper into what looks like a very messy love triangle for our heroine, played by Renee Zelwegger.

“It’s sort of a funny story,” Bridget aka Renee says in her trademark British accent.

Bridget’s pregnant… but who’s the father?

Jack (Patrick Dempsey) and Mark (Colin Firth) will have to fight for Bridget’s affections.

The trailer then goes on to show how she unexpectedly found herself pregnant after a marathon tryst with new love Jack (Patrick Dempsey).

Pity she’d also had recent romantic run-in with her now ex Mark Darcy, played dashingly as always by Colin Firth.

“So you have no idea which of us is the father,” Mark asks in the middle of a super awkward dinner between the three of them.

So who will our favourite perpetually single gal end up with?

The two suitors then find themselves competing for our favourite spinster’s heart.

So who will be victorious?

We have some serious love for Patrick, but we’re edging towards a happily ever after for #TeamMark at this point!

Lisa Marie Presley files for divorce from Michael Lockwood after 10 years of marriage

The 48-year-old has been married three times before.

CelebrityJody Phan

Lisa Marie Presley is headed for her fourth divorce, this time from her husband of over 10 years, Michael Lockwood.

The daughter of Elvis Presley has cited irreconcilable differences as grounds for the divorce, according to TMZ.

Lisa Marie is requesting full custody of the couple’s seven-year-old twins Finley and Harper and only wants her 55-year-old partner to be granted visitation if it’s monitored.

The 48-year-old star has been married to several A-listers previously.

She’s also not seeking any spousal or child support from Michael.

The brunette star’s first marriage was to Danny Keough, with whom she shares son Ben and daughter Riley.

She was then famously married to Michael Jackson, followed by Nicolas Cage.

Watch Lisa Marie dish on her marriage to Michael Lockwood below. Post continues.

Her marriage to Nic was one of the shortest in Hollywood history, only lasting three months.

Opening up about her failed marriages to Marie Claire previously, the singer said, “I had been really sheltered. I got married the first time very, very young. And the marriage I was in, there was so much resentment about who I was, because I had more than he did, and it became a power struggle.”

She continued, “It is hard for a man to be with a woman who is stronger, wealthier. So in my mind I’m thinking, I know, I’ll get with someone more compatible.”

Calvin Harris reportedly claims Taylor Swift never met his mum during their 15-month relationship

But she met new boyfriend Tom Hiddleston’s mum after just a few weeks!

CelebrityElizabeth Best

As Taylor Swift’s relationship with Tom Hiddleston just keeps moving faster and faster, Calvin Harris does not seem to be happy. Like at all.

According to TMZ, Tay’s DJ ex reportedly said he finds it “laughable” that the pop star jumped on a plane to England to meet Tom’s parents over the weekend.

Especially because she never even met his parents the entire 15 months the pair were together!

According to sources who spoke to the publication, Scotland-born Calvin had always been super keen for Taylor to meet his family and spend time with his mum.

Calvin is shocked at how fast Taylor and Tom are moving.

Tom took Taylor on a beach stroll with his family.

But Taylor kept saying that they were just too far away.

Apparently where Tom is concerned though, that problem has seemingly disappeared.

And it seems Taylor isn’t shy about piling on the PDA with her new man either. See the video below! Post continues.

Tom took Taylor home to meet the folks just WEEKS after they started dating.

Calvin is said to be “bewildered and astonished” that his 26-year-old ex of only a few weeks and her 35-year-old new man are already at the “meet the parents” stage.

The sassy songstress and her potential James Bond boyfriend were seen strolling along a beach in Suffolk with the actor’s mum.

Taylor always said Calvin’s Scottish parents were too far away to visit.

Calvin recently took to social media to sensationally address the couple’s breakup in a series of comments that have since been deleted.

One of the more sensational insinuations he made was replying to someone who suggested Taylor must have been cheating on him with: “You are the only smart one at this point.”

Johnny Depp gives his first public interview since Amber Heard split turned nasty

But what did he have to say about Amber's violence allegations?

CelebrityElizabeth Best

Actor Johnny Depp has given his first public interview since news of his split from Amber Heard exploded across the world.

The 53-year-old took time out of his busy schedule to appear on the Jonesey’s Jukebox radio talk show on a US station alongside his Hollywood Vampires bandmates.

But despite the star opening up for the first time since things with his ex Amber turned very nasty indeed, he remained tight-lipped about his upcoming divorce battle.

He also chose to stay silent over the allegations of domestic abuse still hanging over his head – the restraining order from the actor’s estranged wife still in place.

Johnny and his bandmates front up for an interview at 996KLOS radio in the US.

Since news of the messy divorce broke, the Alice Through The Looking Glass star has thrown himself into music.

In the past few months he’s been playing several gigs and touring with his band Hollywood Vampires.

Johnny chats about how it was Alice Cooper that got him back into music in the clip below. Post continues

Johnny had given up on being a musician until Alice Cooper came along.

During his radio interview, the actor turned musician was happy to talk about all things music, including sharing a few behind-the-scenes stories of his European tours.

He admits his first love was music and he only became an actor to pay the bills.

Johnny steered clear of all things Amber in the interview.

But he was happy to dish the dirt on his switch to music.

“I needed to pay rent,” said Depp. “Somebody said, ‘Why don’t you go meet an agent. My agent is with Nick Cage,’ so she sent me on an audition for something and I got it.”

The interview comes off the back of Johnny Depp’s ex fiancée Winona Ryder speaking out about abuse claims levelled at the actor.

Check out Winona’s sensational statement in the video below. Post continues.

She said she didn’t want to blame anyone but expressed she found the idea of Johnny hurting anyone “unimaginable”.

The Edward Scissorhands actress went on to say that the actor had never laid a hand on her or treated her in that way.

“The last time I saw my 15-year-old daughter”

The mother of a teenage air force cadet who committed suicide after being accused of having an affair with an older instructor has spoken out about her last moments with her daughter.

Now to Love

The mother of a teenage air force cadet who committed suicide has wept in front of a royal commission over the “waste of her life”.

Susan Campbell spoke of how her 15-year-old daughter Eleanore Tibble was distraught after being threatened with dishonourable discharge due to a suspected affair with an older instructor.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse heard that Eleanore from Hobart was scared her future career was on the line, as her great passion at the time was being a cadet.

She died in November 2002, and Campbell later learned that Air Force Cadets officers based in Canberra had decided to reinstate Eleanore, but she was never told.

Her mother said in an emotional testimony: “A wing commander decided on 12 November 2000, two weeks prior to her death, that Eleanore should not be charged with fraternisation.”

“Eleanore was never told of the Australian Air Force Cadets decision to abandon the discharge action against her.

“Instead, somebody sat on that order for over two weeks and, in this time, Eleanore committed suicide,” she continued.

“She died probably thinking she was doing something honourable, saving her family the shame of a dishonourable discharge.”

Ms Campbell said that she has fought to learn more about the death of her daughter, but she has barely gotten any answers.

She also spoke of the last time she saw her daughter, after dropping her off at a bus stop to go to school.

“I kissed her goodbye and told her I loved her. I returned home to find . . . my daughter had committed suicide,” she said.

Two former cadets also spoke of how they didn’t feel supported after Eleanore’s death and that the Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) response was poor.

The young women, given the pseudonyms CJG and CJE, told the commission that they were pressured to have sex with their instructor, Christopher Adams, three years ago.

In 2015, he pleaded guilty to having sex with teenagers under his care and was sentenced to two years in prison.

CJG, now 21, said: “The AAFC have said that things have changed since the Ellie Tibble case but the response of the AAFC and the ADF was still really poor . . . through their actions they have hurt and traumatised people.”

The hearing will continue through the rest of the week.

If you feel like you need to talk to someone, called Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636.

Raw milk killed my toddler

Unpasteurised milk has been ruled as the probable cause of death of a healthy three-year-old boy from Victoria.

Now to Love

Unpasteurised milk has been ruled as the probable death of a healthy three-year-old boy from Victoria.

The Coroner’s Court heard that the toddler’s father had been feeding his son small amounts of Mountain View Organic Bath Milk on a few occasions before his tragic death in October 2014, reports the Herald Sun.

A Department of Health investigation into the milk, plus a forensic pathologist’s report and an illness outbreak among four more children who drank the same milk, has all lead to the consumption as being the likely cause of the boy’s death.

This then led to the Victorian government introducing laws that make unpasteurised milk undrinkable.

The little boy had no medical issues until September 30, 2014, when he began suffering gastro symptoms. He was then admitted to Frankston Hospital four days later and was transferred to Monash Medical Centre on October 6.

His large bowel was infected and he sadly died soon after.

Mountain View Organic Dairy Bath Milk

Coroner’s solicitor Rebecca Cohen told the court that he was found to have traces in his bowel that lead to Hemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS), a rare and dangerous infection that can be present in raw milk, stemming from ecoli bacteria.

After the boy’s death, the Department of Health tested samples on 39 bottles of Mountain View Dairy milk and discovered a shiga toxin which produces ecoli.

HUS infections are extremely rare, but at the time of the toddler’s death, the Department was investigating two non-fatal cases. The one link between these three cases is that they all consumed the same unpasteurised milk.

Ms Cohen said that the boy’s father knew the milk should not be drunk, but proceeded to feed it to his son anyway.

“(The father) understood the milk was labelled not to be drunk, but he noted it looked like every other milk container,” she said in court.

“Due to his intolerance to dairy, (the child) would only drink very small amounts of the unpasteurised milk, and only on odd occasions. “(The father) said it only amounted one-eighth of a sippy cup, and only twice per month at a maximum.”

Is actress Margot Robbie engaged to boyfriend Tom Ackerley?

The actress was spotted wearing a massive diamond ring on THAT finger.

CelebrityElizabeth Best

Margot Robbie sure knows how to make an impression!

The starlet looked stunning at the premiere of her new film The Legend of Tarzan, but it was not her outfit that caught the eye of onlookers.

It was the massive diamond ring she was sporting on her engagement finger!

So is she finally getting ready to walk down the aisle with boyfriend (or should we say fiancé…) Tom Ackerley?

The blonde bombshell couldn’t stop readjusting the ring.

Whoa! We’re blind! Check out that sparkler…

The bubbly blonde seemed very conscious of her massive rock as she walked down the red carpet.

Posing for photo after photo at her film’s premiere, she kept playing with her hands, and making sure the ring was in place and in prime position for everyone to see.

“Can everyone see my ring?” Margot makes sure that even when she’s standing with her co-star Alexander Skarsgard, that the rock is on display.

At one point the 25-year-old began to play with her hair, and kept her hand at face level, almost as if to shout, “Yes, this is my ring and I’m so happy!”

Onlookers couldn’t stop talking about the dazzling sparkler, sparking rumours that English Tom had finally popped the question.

The pair have been inseparable since 2013.

Is it finally time to announce their happy news to the world?

“He’s the best looking guy in London,” Margot once said of her beau, whom she met in 2003 on a movie set.

And it seems the idea of Tom made Margot want to settle down.

“I was the ultimate single gal,” she confessed to Vogue recently.

Remember that adorable time Margot thought Prince Harry was Ed Sheeran? Relive the hilarious moment in the clip below. Post continues.

She continued, “The idea of relationships made me want to vomit. And then this crept up on me.

“We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back.’”

Looks like you were wrong on that count, Margot!

Mum kills daughter days before wedding

Today was meant to be the biggest day of Taylor Sheats’ life – but instead she is dead at the hands of her own mother.

Now to Love

Today, Taylor Sheats should be giddily preparing to walk down the aisle to marry the love of her life. Instead, she is lying in a Texas morgue, stabbed and shot by her own mother.

Taylor and her little sister Madison, 17, were killed during an argument with their mother Christy Sheats, 42, on Friday.

It is not known what the disagreement was about, but it ended in Christy chasing the girls out of the family house onto their quiet residential street and gunning them down. One of the young women died on the scene and the other in hospital a short time later.

In a tragic twist, The Daily Mail reports Taylor was due to wed her fiancé Juan Sebastian Lugo in a small ceremony today.

The couple were reportedly planning a bigger celebration later in the year when she had graduated from university.

Taylor Sheats was 22 and due to marry her fiance today.

Her sister Madison Sheats was just 17.

Christy Sheats killed her daughters.

The girls’ father Jason was also home at the time of the attack and reportedly narrowly escaped becoming his wife’s third victim after a neighbour let him hide in her house.

Christy was subsequently shot by police when she refused to lower her weapon when they arrived on the scene after a concerned neighbour called 911.

Christy was very active on social media and had also posted about America’s proposed gun control laws.

“It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away, but that’s exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semiautomatic weapons,” she wrote in March.

“I have 10 guns. Obama wants eight of my guns. How many guns do I have? That’s right, I have 10 guns.”
