It was all about the theatre at Broadway’s biggest night and naturally, the stars stepped out in their most glamorous outfits.
Stars from stage, film, TV and everywhere in between gathered at the Beacon Theatre in NYC on Sunday night including Aussies Cate Blanchett and Rose Byrne.
Married at First Sight’s Christie and Mark were one of the only two couples who stayed together after the show finished in April – but now Christie’s announced that she’s split from farmer Mark amid claims he was sending saucy text messages to a woman 15 years younger than him!
The woman who claims to be 22, reveals that she swapped numbers with Mark after meeting him on a picture messaging service on Instagram!
“He was really sweet on the phone and told me he didn’t believe that a girl like me would message him. Then he asked me to go on a date with him the following weekend,” she spills to New Idea magazine.
“I was excited, because on TV he came across as such a gentleman.”
These racy messages were obtained by the mag, and Mark appears to suggest that the pair ‘hang out and cook’ after also telling her ‘younger is fine’ in the messages – in reference to their 15 year age gap.
The woman also says that she and Mark kept in contact through Facebook messaging and lengthy phone calls, before she ‘cut all contact’ after finding pictures of Mark and Christie together!

In happier times…
Christie has also revealed that she was ready to sell her business and move to Mark’s farm in Victoria before getting cold feet – telling Woman’s Day: “We were starting to fall in love but our heads got in front of our hearts.”
Mark also confirmed the split by confessing to the publication: “We couldn’t get into the relationship because we’d see each other once a week, but then not the next. I felt like we were holding back because we knew we’d get hurt.”

Revealing the break-up on Insta
It looked like a fairytale ending for the couple who married on the reality show late last year and had agreed to give long-distance a go – planning to spend their time between Christie’s Sydney home and Mark’s farm in Victoria. Unfortunately, distance didn’t make the heart grow fonder for these two.
Erin and Bryce are now the only couple still together from the show.
Not even the pouring rain could dim the Duchess of Cambridge’s radiance at the annual Order of the Garter service in Windsor yesterday.
Kate chose an old favourite to brighten up the dreary weather, stepping out in a Catherine Walker coat she last wore in 2011.
The Duchess left George and Charlotte at home to watch her husband Prince William, a Knight of the Order of the Garter, participate in the annual service alongside his grandmother the Queen and father Prince Charles.
Fans who assembled to watch the annual parade through the streets were left disappointed however, with the wet weather forcing the royals to travel in cars instead of on foot.
Kate looked stunning in red.
William also looked rather fetching in his robe and feathered hat.
Camilla chose a cream Anna Valentine ensemble.
The Queen donned the traditional costume of Knights of the Order of the Garter.
The royals were forced to travel in cars and buses instead of on foot.
No one should ever underestimate how important lifeguards are – they see things that most people would never notice and they act on it lightning fast.
Take, for example, this lifeguard at a South Carolina wave pool who saved a three-year-old girl from drowning.
The pool was packed full of people and no one seemed to notice that the little girl was struggling to stay above water.
Thanks to the quick-thinking of the lifeguard, he jumped in and saved her.
The video was posted to Lifeguard Rescue on YouTube and highlights how important it is to be aware of everything happening around you, and that children in water should always be supervised.
The lifeguard, who is unnamed, said that after he pulled the girl out of the water, he had to walk around looking for her family.
“They had no idea she was missing,” he said.
“I have been doing this for 18 years and I am still amazed by the lack of supervision some kids get around the water.”
The Big Freeze 2 was held before the Collingwood-Melbourne AFL game on the Queen’s Birthday, which aimed to raise much need funds for the Cure for MND Foundation.
Sam, Kochie and the rest of the gang all took turns as they slid down a massive frozen slide, plunging them straight into an ice pool at the MCG in a bid to freeze Motor Neuron Disease.
Sam shared this snap on Instagram, penning, “Queen Elsa & Olaf walk into a bar (the MCG locker room) …
In very unflattering outfits & thongs …. BUT BLOODY HELL IT WAS FOR A GOOD CAUSE .. LET’S CURE MND. “
The event was created by former AFL player and coach Neale Daniher, who was diagnosed with the illness in 2013.
The 37-year-old Sunrise beauty decided to have some fun with the charity event, donning a ice blue Elsa costume from the Disney film Frozen.
And of course her daily side-kick, Kochie, showed his support by wearing the movie’s Olaf costume.
Watch Sam get plunged into the icy bath in the video player below. Post continues!

Following what seemed to be a traumatising swim; Sam took to Instagram to share her experience.
“I made it!!” she penned alongside her selfie.
The event was a huge hit, and has already raised close to $2 million.
They survived!
Stars banded together for AFL coach Neale Daniher, who was diagnosed with the illness in 2013.
Motor Neuron Disease is a progressive disease involving degeneration of the motor neurons and wasting of the muscles. With no nerves to activate them, muscles gradually weaken and waste. MND can affect a person’s ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe.
It’s believed that in Australia alone, two people are diagnosed daily with MND and even more alarming, everyday two people die from the debilitating illness.
At just 16-years-old, the genetically blessed son of Cindy Crawford made his runway debut at the Moschino Resort show on Friday, June 10, in Los Angeles.
Donning a tangerine lace suit, psychedelic shoes and a floral lei, the eldest son of the supermodel took his first steps down the catwalk, channeling his mum’s signature stance.
Watching along from the front row sat the proud mama, her handsome hubby businessman Rande Gerber along with their youngest daughter Kaia.
The teen boasted his mum’s full brows and signature stare on the colourful runway.
Taking to Instagram, the 50-year-old beauty posted a happy snap during the show expressing her immense pride for her successful son.
“So fun watching @PresleyGerber walk @Moschino tonight!” she penned, whilst 14-year-old Kaia also wrote, “Proudest sister in the world right now.”
Mum Cindy couldn’t have been more proud of her eldest son!
Since this pic of Cindy and Presley snapped in 2010, the teen has grown so much!
Following the show, which naturally ended in a standing ovation, the proud family headed backstage to pose for celebratory snaps with the man of the moment.
Speaking of the thrilling debut, Presley told Vogue magazine, “Honestly, I have enjoyed [the fashion industry] a lot more than expected. I think I just didn’t feel that I had enough experience in the fashion industry before, but now I believe I’m ready.”
The teenager now joins the clan of celebrity offspring who have followed in the footsteps of their famous parents – a club that his younger sister officially became a part of when she covered Vogue Paris alongside her mum back in April.
Also taking after her model mother is Johnny Depp’s daughter, 16-year-old Lily Rose, who last month was announced as the new face of Chanel’s latest fragrance, Chanel No. 5 L’Eau.
The apple certainly doesn’t fall far from the tree in the Moss family!
“I’m so excited to announce that I am the face of the new Chanel Number 5 L’EAU!” penned Johnny’s eldest on Instagram. (Pic via/Lily-Rose Depp Instagram)
Police officers have stormed a home where a man was holding hostage the wife and son of a police officer he’d just stabbed to death.
According to Le Parisien, shots and explosions were heard from the Magnanville home, 55km west of Paris.
While the son and wife were inside, the man tweeted that he’d killed the woman.
France’s interior minister spokesman, Pierre-Henry Brandet, confirmed that a policeman, a woman and the attacker have been killed.
Brandet says that police rescued a child from the scene.
The slain police officer was stabbed by the attacker nine times in the abdomen just outside the property, reports The Mirror.
Le Parisienhave identified the attacker as 42-year-old commander Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, the neighbour to the victim. He refused to talk to police negotiators during the hostage situation.
Defying reports that the couple have gone their separate ways, Gigi Hadid has put on a defiant show of togetherness in support of her boyfriend Zayn Malik.
One day after model told the world how brave she thought her man was, after he revealed his struggle with anxiety, the 21-year-old has flown to London to be by his side.
Just days earlier, the former One Direction star pulled out of a performance at the Capital FM Summertime Ball, citing his ongoing battle with anxiety.
In reaction, Gigi jumped to her pop star beau’s defense, posting a touching message of love on social media.
“Z – I’ve seen the battles you go through and the way you fight to get to a place that allows you to get up there for your fans,” she penned.
Gigi wanted to by by Zayn’s side while he works through his issues.
She penned a heartwarming message of support to her man on social media.
“Your bravery in those times makes me proud, but your honesty last night proved what you’re all about, being real,” she continued.
“Human recognises human. You made the best of the situation and have given your fans an opportunity to understand you better as a performer.”
The 23-year-old bravely made the decision to cancel a performance to heal after an anxiety attack.
“Those who can find compassion now are the ones who deserve to watch you continue to grow. We are all here to support you and make each experience easier.
“Your talent and good heart will never lead you wrong.”
“Love you and so proud of you always 🙂 G.”

But it seems posting messages wasn’t quite enough for the pretty blonde, who then jumped on a plane to be with Zayn in his hour of need.
The leggy blonde was spotted leaving a London recording studio, looking very serious and remaining stoic in the face of the singer’s critics.
Perhaps it’s Gigi’s wish to be a rock for her pop-star boyfriend that has lead to the couple reuniting and being stronger than ever, as it was reported by several media outlets that the couple were on the brink of collapse only recently.
Not only that, but the lady in red also donned a very special pair of earrings… a bespoke diamond pair she wore on her wedding day to Prince William!
Here comes the lady in red! Duchess Catherine looked a vision at the ceremony.
But nothing compares to the regal finery of Prince William!
The mother-of-two attended the event sans Prince George and Princess Charlotte, instead arriving with her mother-in-law Duchess Camilla of Cornwall.
And while the rain never really eventuated more than a few drops, the festivities of the royal ceremony were altered for a wet weather plan.
Camilla frocked up in a champagne Anne Valentine ensemble.
The Queen’s dress couldn’t be seen under all her traditional velvet robes!
Usually Prince Charles and Prince William and the rest of the royal Knights would have walked in all their finery of velvet coats and ostrich-plummed hats to the service, giving viewers a real treat.
Because of the threat of rain, they enacted a rainy day plan, driving to the event to protect their royal outfits.
The Princes drove to the event because of wet weather.
Even Queen Elizabeth wasn’t immune to the wet weather.
She usually arrives as the event in a regal carriage alongside Prince Philip, but this year she was forced to do her royal wave from inside a car.
But the soggy day didn’t deter fans from lining the streets to catch a glimpse of their beloved royals.
This year’s Order of the Garter ceremony comes at the end of three action-packed days for the royal family, having just attended several events celebrating the Queen’s 90th birthday.
