Pippa Middleton nearly flashes everyone at Wimbledon 2016

But Duchess Catherine’s sister proves she’s still got it in the fashion stakes!
Pippa Middleton

Pippa Middleton cut a very fine figure indeed when she showed up to day one of Wimbledon 2016.

Accompanied by her dapper brother James Middleton, the famous sister of Duchess Catherine wore a stunning white dress decked out with a pink floral pattern and a lovely shoulder ruffle.

But despite her best efforts in the fashion department, even the best of us can have a fashion mishap.

Several times throughout the tennis match, Pippa had to rearrange her skirt, as it had ridden up when she sat down.

Pippa attended the match with her brother James.

What she didn’t realise is that the was also very close to giving punters a bit of an eyeful!

When the usually demure Pippa rearranged herself, she lifted her skirt just that little bit too high… oops!

Watch where you’re adjusting that thing, Pippa!

When she realised what she’d done, the 32-year-old stood up to pull the skirt down, laughing along with onlookers.

Pippa talks about how her relationship with Kate has changed since her sister became Duchess Catherine. Post continues.

Pippa couldn’t stop laughing at her skirt mishap!

Meanwhile who should be sitting down in front of Pippa but our very own Rebel Wilson.

The actress was really getting into the action of the tennis match, cheering and clapping enthusiastically.

Rebel does not look impressed with that latest call.

But she cheered up enough to start cheering later.

In fact, the comedian, who is getting set to perform in Guys and Dolls on stage in London, didn’t seem to be able keep a straight face, getting really emotionally involved in all the action.

Pippa thought Rebel’s ever-changing facial expressions were a crack up.

Even Pippa seemed to find the Aussie actress’s antics amusing, as she clapped and laughed along with her.

Pippa seems to have been keeping a low profile lately, but was spotted heading out to a romantic dinner with her banker boyfriend James Matthews last week.

There has been talk that the pair was to be engaged, but that the plans suffered a setback when James moved to Geneva.

Dad who tried to treat son’s meningitis with maple syrup jailed

Nineteen-month-old Ezekiel died because his anti-vaxxer parents tried to treat his deadly disease with “natural remedies”.

The father who tried to cure his 19-month-old son’s meningitis with maple syrup has been jailed for four months.

David Stephan, 33, will serve time in prison for his role in son Ezekiel’s death, while the boy’s mother Collet Stephan, 36, was sentenced to three months’ house arrest.

Justice Rodney Jerke said the Canadian couple had been “wilfully blind” to their son’s condition, failing to seek proper medical attention for his deadly infection, instead trying various unsuccessful “natural remedies”, including maple syrup and apple cider vinegar.

Ezekiel became ill in March 2012 and despite his condition quickly deteriorating his parents did not take him to see a doctor. He died shortly afterwards after two weeks battling the horrific disease.

The judge said that while Mr and Mrs Stephan loved their son and were devastated by his death, they had not admitted their own personal failings were to blame.

“You have affected many people … your conduct has left an unerasable and chilling impact on all of us,” he said.

“This case was about whether parents, who failed to take a sick boy to a doctor, should be held criminally responsible. The trial was not about vaccination. This is far beyond a child who simply has the sniffles.”

Mr Stephan received a harsher sentence than his wife because of his tough and unrelenting “anti-vaxx” stance, which saw him complain his family was being unfairly targeted by the justice system because they were trying to tell the “truth” about vaccinations.

The judge also ordered the Stephans to take their other three children to the doctor at least once each year.

Justin Timberlake accused of cultural appropriation after BET Awards tweet

But the singer says he’s been misunderstood.
Justin Timberlake

Sometimes even when someone has good intentions they can still get slammed.

Justin Timberlake found himself in the middle of a social media storm after tweeting about how moved he was by a speech by Jesse Williams at the 2016 BET Awards.

The 33-year-old was forced to backpedal and apologise for his remarks after a commentator had a go at Justin’s comment that he was “#Inspired” by the heartfelt speech Grey’s Anatomy’s Jesse made on cultural appropriation and the Black Lives Matter movement.

See highlights of Jesse’s impassioned speech below. Post continues.

Justin tried to defend himself against the comments but it didn’t stop the onslaught.

“So does this mean you’re going to stop appropriating our music and culture? And apologise to Janet too,” said columnist Ernest Owens.

The singer then found himself at the end of a wave of backlash, with many fans accusing the star of cultural appropriation.

Jesse was given the Humanitarian Award for his work for the advancement of racial issues.

Furious fans also claim Justin left Janet Jackson high and dry following THAT famous wardrobe malfunction.

Relive the shocking moment Janet had a “wardrobe malfunction” at the hands of Justin Timberlake in the clip below. Post continues

It seems the outrage was less aimed at Justin’s initial tweet, but at the response he had to Ernest’s reply.

Justin initially replied with: “Oh, you sweet soul. The more you realise that we are the same, the more we can have a conversation. Bye.”

Justin was shocked his comments were taken the wrong way.

But that just seemed to enrage the masses, and sink JT in a deluge of negative comments accusing him of completely missing the point.

“Go ahead be inspired, but you have a platform to speak up on issues that affect the cultures you’re appropriating,” one person wrote.

It’s not the first time Justin has been accused of appropriating black culture when it comes to his musical style.

Another continued: “#JustinTimberlake by saying we are all the same dismissed Jesse Williams speech entirely and proved his point at the same time well done.”

After trying to explain himself several times, Justin finally gave up and just apologised.

“I apologise to anyone that felt I was out of turn. I have nothing but LOVE FOR YOU AND ALL OF US.”

Mariah Carey performs DJ set in lingerie and no pants

It comes just days after getting Blac Chyna up on stage for a lap dance.
Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey has turned up for her first DJ performance at 1Oak nightclub in Las Vegas, but she seems to have forgotten something rather crucial.

Her pants.

The diva posed for cameras and strutted her stuff wearing a leather jacket that screamed rock on top, but stockings and suspenders that screamed something more inappropriate below the waist.

And boy did she ham it up for the cameras.

Er, aren’t you feeling that breeze, Mariah?

Then things got… awkward… when the time came to pose on the red carpet.

The 46-year-old contorted herself in a succession of seductive poses, pouting and closing her eyes in a rather sensual display.

And it seems that’s not all that’s getting risqué for Mariah at the moment.

The star has also taken to Instagram, posting several scantily clad photos such as one where she dons only a bra, with the caption “Hmmm, what shall I wear?”

Mariah ditched the jacket for the actual DJ set, meaning she was JUST wearing lingerie.

And then uploaded this scandalous bra-only snap.

And just the other night, the singer invited a very pregnant Blac Chyna on stage at her concert the other night for a lap dance.

Rob Kardashian’s fiancé was invited to sit on a plush bed while Mariah’s back up dancers gyrated above her.

See the saucy video of the striptease Blac Chyna received while Mariah watches in the clip below. Post continues.

Meanwhile, plans for the songstress’s wedding to James Packer seem to be on hold and it’s all because of Nick Cannon.

Reports out of the US claim that Mimi is done with waiting though, and wedding plans are full speed ahead.

Watch Mariah dish the dirt on her wedding plans in the clip. Post continues.

The diva is itching to marry her billionaire.

Apparently the mother-of-two plans to walk down the aisle with James as soon as the ink is dry on her divorce papers to Nick, and not a second after.

Though when that will be is anyone’s guess, as Nick is reportedly quite happy to keep his ex wait. And wait. And wait.

Your '00s teenage crush is all grown up!
Anne Hathway and Erik von Detten

Do you ever wonder what happened to your favourite child actors? Unlike Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes, not all former child stars live out their adult lives one public scandal at a time.

In Erik von Detten’s case, he grew up to be a hunky father-of-two.

Most famous for his role as Josh the jerk in The Princess Diaries alongside Anne Hathway, the former Disney star has also starred in Brink!, Bones and Toy Story 3.

All grown up! Erik is now a hunky father-of two.

Although he’s kept a fairly low profile over the years, the 33-year-old actor emerged to attend the premiere of Adventures in Babysitting last Thursday.

Flashing his signature baby blue eyes, Erik posed on the red carpet with his look-alike children by his side.

Prepare to feel nostalgic with this clip of Erik and Anne in The Princess Diaries.

Introducing the new beauty elixir: Aloe vera juice

Coconut water is so last year. Now, it’s all about aloe.
Aloe Vera

We’ve long been using aloe vera as a way to treat burns externally from the harsh Australian sun, but what you perhaps don’t know are the many ways this hydrating plant can actually heal your body from the inside out.

“Aloe Vera is renowned as a ’heal-all’ that is good for many conditions, both internal and external,” says Sebastian Pole, herbalism expert and co-founder of Pukka Herbs.

“It is a great rejuvenator and can help in some of life’s big transitions, from cleansing teenage skin to cooling menopausal hot flushes and soothing dryness.”

Evidence suggest that aloe vera has been used as a beauty aid for over 5,000 years, dating all the way back to early Egyptian times, but in case you needed some more convincing to pick up aloe juice instead of coconut water next time you stop by the supermarket, here are three other beatifying benefits.

What do these two stars have in common? They both swear by aloe vera juice!

A natural way to detox

Aloe Vera juice is one of Hollywood’s best pre-red carpet detox secrets for its cleansing and slimming effects. Stars like Nicki Minaj and Alicia Keys have both raved about the benefits of the hydrating liquid in the past, crediting the necessary amino acids, vitamins and minerals as the secret to their youthful skin and glow.

Improve digestion

The consumption of aloe has been known to cleanse and soothe the digestive tract. It’s a great natural remedy for those who suffer from IBS, and can help eliminate the amount of ‘bad’ bacteria in the gut.

Aloe Vera doesn’t just heal skin from the outside, in.

Feed your skin and hair from the inside

As an anti-inflammatory, aloe vera juice has a cooling effect that can help to aid acne and redness from the inside out, while the abundance of vitamins and enzymes help to promote natural hair and nail strength.

Find out more about the amazing health benefits of aloe vera in the video player below!

4 things we hope happen on the season finale of GoT

For those who are still at work and can't watch the season six finale just yet, we can only speculate what may happen.

For die-hard fans who tuned in to the Game of Thrones season 6 finale already and don’t have to be chained to a work desk right now, don’t spoil it for the rest of us, ok?

But for those who are waiting to get out of work asap to race home and watch it, we can only speculate what may happen.

The possibilities are endless now that the show has surpassed the book (and also that George R. R. Martin throws us shock twists and deaths of favourite characters left, right and centre).

So, here are four major things we hope happens in the 69-minute season finale:

King Tommen dies in High Septon/Lannister crossfire

The High Septon has gotten way too much power, way too quickly (can’t he just die already?) all thanks to King Tommen being so easily manipulated. Cersei is about to take her trial and her brother Jaime and the Tyrells are ready to take down the Faith Militants.

They’ve got an army (plus The Mountain) waiting for the final order, so we think it’s about to go down. We’re sure this finale will end with major bloodshed as both sides go up against each other, with King Tommen likely being killed in the crossfire.

The death of Cersei’s son Tommen will mean that the old witch’s dark prophecy about Cersei (of her three children all being murdered) will come true.

Dany will set sail for Westeros

Now that she’s got at least 100 ships from Theon and Yara Greyjoy, a massive Dothraki army and three dragons, there’s no better time for Daenerys to set sail for Westeros to claim the Iron Throne.

Theon and Yara’s uncle Euron may arrive in Meereen this episode and with Dany’s agreement with Yara, Euron should be killed. Dany might take Euron’s ships as well, making her army almost unstoppable.

The fierce young queen has been wanting it desperately this entire series so it’s only fair we see her get on board the ships (or Drogon’s back) to head to King’s Landing. Yep, the Lannister’s should be VERY worried.

The R + L = J theory is confirmed

The Tower of Joy scene has been teased this whole season and book lovers have been speculating it for years.

So with Bran now able to see into the past with his Three-Eyed Raven abilities, surely they’d have to confirm the theory that Jon Snow’s parents are Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark in this last episode. We think there’d be mutiny amongst the GoT fan community if we had to wait another year to learn if it’s true.

Arya gets back to Westeros and kills Cersei

Now that she’s killed the waif and declared herself as Arya Stark of Winterfell instead of ‘No One’, she’ll be making her way back home.

But Cersei has always been on her ‘kill’ list, so what’s stopping her from using her assassin skills and ticking Cersei off the list?

Ok sure, it might not happen just yet, but we can dream, right?

Bride breastfeeds during wedding ceremony

Even on her big day, this mum put her baby daughter’s needs before her own.

A bride has become an internet sensation after she breastfed her baby daughter during her wedding ceremony.

Christina Torino-Benton was in the church, preparing to exchange vows with her partner Danny Benton, when their six-month-old daughter Gemma – who was struggling in the Montreal heat and had missed her nap – started crying.

Without missing a beat, Christina scooped up Gemma and breastfed her as the ceremony continued.

“I don’t pump or bottle feed and I’m all about secure attachment parenting,” Christina told The Daily Mail.

“She’s never left to cry so when she started crying I couldn’t focus on my wedding. All I was thinking about was taking her and nursing because I knew that was the only solution.

“Once I got her in my arms, I was able to calm down and focus. A lot of people think that my feeding her mid-ceremony was a bother but actually it was nice having her up there with us. She is always a joy to have around.”

The couple’s wedding photographer snapped a sweet photo of the lovely moment between mother and child and Christina later shared the image on Facebook, where it quickly went viral.

Luke Jacobz replaced by Jason Dundas as X Factor host

The former Home And Away star is leaving his TV gig after five years.
Luke Jacobz, Jason Dundas

Jason Dundas has been announced as the new host of Channel Seven’s X Factor, replacing Luke Jacobz.

Luke, who had been hosting the reality show since 2010, is making his departure to try his luck acting in Hollywood.

According to his agent Chic Management, the 35-year-old actor is “currently residing in Los Angeles” after making the decision to leave the show himself.

“In 2015 Luke made the difficult decision to bid farewell to his X Factor family in order to relocate to the US to study and focus on his acting,” his rep said.

The former X Factor host has had his fair share of controversy in the spotlight.

Luke was brought in to host the show after Matthew Newton was given the boot at the last minute ahead of the launch for his indiscretions.

Meanwhile, Luke has had his fair share of controversy, having been slapped with his second drink driving charge in July 2015.

The actor – who was pulled over in Sydney’s Moore Park with a blood alcohol level of 0.116 – over double the 0.05 legal limit – was dubbed a “serial offender” by the magistrate presiding over his case.

“The reality of it is I’m dealing with a serial offender. Here you are 10 years later committing the same offence,” Magistrate Alexander Mijovich said at the time.

Did Luke Jacobz come out on live TV? See the clip and judge for yourself. Post continues below.

Luke’s replacement is most well-known for his work on the runway for David Jones as well as his role on US show Entertainment Tonight.

“My career as a television host all started from winning a contest so I know how life-changing a show like this can be,” the 33-year-old said of his new gig.

“It’s also great that I will be home for a bit after a few years of being based in the US.”

You may recognise Jason from his work on the David Jones catwalk.
