It’s been a difficult few months for Molly, who recently fell outside a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.
In the editorial piece written by Molly himself, he reveals to News.com that the reason he left to go to Thailand was to escape the growing interest of the new Channel 7 miniseries, Molly, which aired last night.
Despite his nasty slip when stepping out of a taxi, the 73-year-old music guru revealed he’s “feeling a lot better.”
“Thankfully I didn’t have to have back surgery and I’m back at my hotel resting,” he penned.
Good to see you, Molly!

Taking to the stage to accept the Silver Logie Award for Best Actress in Love Child, Jessica Marais couldn’t quite believe it.
“I really wasn’t expecting this,” the 31-year-old exclaimed.
It didn’t take long for the actress to shift focus to her loved ones, including her daughter Scout Edie Stewart, who she shares with her ex, James Stewart.

“[Thank you to] my beautiful family and my wonderful friends, you know who you are,” Jess, who announced her split from partner James last year, explained.
“And I’d just like to say happy birthday to a little lady who’s turning four years old tomorrow. Mummy loves you very much,” the stunning star added as her former partner James watched on in the audience.
Shortly after her win, her former Packer to the Rafters co-star Hugh Sheridan snapped a touching photo to congratulate his pal.
“My girl Jess won. #jessicamarais #comealongwayfromNIDA #logieawards,” Hugh penned alongside a sweet black-and-white snap of the pair.
Meanwhile, James was also at the event and walked the red carpet with his new Home and Away co-stars – Orpheus Pledger, James Stewart, Penny McNamee and Jackson Heywood.
The group will play the Morgan family on the long-running soap.
James walked the Logies red carpet with his new Home and Away co-stars.
“My girl Jess won. #jessicamarais #comealongwayfromNIDA #logieawards,” Jess’ former Packed to the Rafters co-star Hugh Sheridan proudly penned alongside this shot.
Since his split from Jess, the 40-year-old actor has most recently been linked to Jessica Nock. Several images of the pair have been shared on social media looking cosy.
Jess and James fell in love after working together on Packed to the Rafters in 2009 and became engaged a year later.
They announced their split in May last year via a joint statement.
“Jessica Marais and James Stewart have amicably separated. Their main focus at this time is the co-parenting of their daughter,” a rep explained at the time.
Sources close to the couple told Woman’s Day that there were “cracks in the relationship for years”, but that in recent months things were become “increasingly toxic.”
Last week they were rocked by a report from The Sydney Morning Herald which alleged they “barely speak off camera.”
But Channel Nine presenters Lisa Wilkinson and Sylvia Jeffreys are keen to put the rumours to rest.
On Sunday night, the stunning stars happily cuddled up on the Logies red carpet showing just how chummy they are.
It comes as veteran reporter Lisa slammed the report, which claimed she and Sylvia had a fraught relationship.
Taking to Instagram, the 56-year-old labelled the allegations as “complete bull—-.”
“I’m not going to sit meekly by and take this. Sylvia and I couldn’t enjoy working together, be more supportive, or respect each other more,” Lisa explained.
The three amigos! Proving there’s no bad blood Sylvia, Karl and Lisa all posed happily on the Logies red carpet.

Bitching and backstabbing is pretty standard with The Real Housewives Of Melbourne, but tensions reach a new level in the upcoming 90-minute reunion special, thanks to some bombshell affair accusations!
Yep, Housewife and NW columnist Gina Liano tells us that in a shocking outburst, Jackie Gillies reveals what really went on with Lydia Schiavello and Shane Warne!
“Jackie says that Lydia did this and that with Shane and that it put her in a really compromising position,” Gina tells NW. Oh. Em. Gee!
Meanwhile, Jackie let slip during a recent chat to NW that she might have tum-thing exciting to reveal.
“There’s always the reunion,” she teased when we asked whether she might be making a baby announcement some time soon. And it wouldn’t be a Housewives reunion without screaming matches and D&Ms!
“We got some really good things out and nutted out some other things which had been lurking,” says Gina. “I liken it to dysfunctional counselling – because Alex Perry is nothing like a counsellor! And there were a couple of big fights. It’s definitely explosive!”
And as usual, Gina’s got plenty to say about it all…
SUSIE VS LYDIA
Looking super glam, newest Housewife Susie McLean isn’t shy about making herself heard. We hear she sticks it to her old “friend” Lydia, adding a shocking update to the Shane Warne saga. “Susie’s got a lot to say and I think she makes some good points,” says Gina.
“Susie really goes for it with Lydia, they had a big falling out. You’ll hear quite a bit from her.”
LYDIA VS EVERYONE
There aren’t many people Lydia hasn’t upset this season. “Jackie, Susie, Janet and Chyka were all giving it to her,” reveals Gina. “Lydia cops a thrashing about Shane Warne and Jackie says Lydia’s husband was ringing her when it was going on.
So I said to Jackie, ‘If you respect her husband, I think you should pull back on what you’re saying, because that’s damaging.’ Jackie started crying and said, ‘I feel terrible now.’ ”
GAMBLE VS GINA
Things have been fraught between them ever since newlywed Gamble attacked Gina for ditching drinks and going back to her room to watch Celebrity Apprentice the night before Gamble’s wedding. And it all comes to a head at the reunion when Gamble questions Gina about their friendship. “We do have a few words,” Gina teases.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but that’s not how Gina saw it when Gamble turned up to the reunion wearing the same shoes as her! “Gamble has mimicked me since last season.
When I first met Gamble, she was shabby-chic and she’s slowly evolved into a mini-me,” Gina spills. “If I wear a sequined dress, she’ll turn up wearing one with blingy necklaces and shiny shoes. I don’t think she owned a pair of shiny shoes before I met her. My shoes were from my range, she’s not wearing Gina Liano shoes.”
JANET VS PETTIFLEUR
She’s not shy about having her say, but Pettifleur nearly takes things too far with Janet!
“Janet was talking about friendships and it had nothing to do with Pettifleur, but she jumps up and makes it about herself,” Gina recalls.
“I was like, ‘Sit down, you idiot!’ She was actually taunting Janet a little bit and nearly got a slap!”
Pettifleur Berenger was as determined to be heard as ever! “She was driving me mad, she just didn’t shut up,” says Gina. “I had to say to her, ‘Pettifleur, I can’t hear what other people are saying. It’s like trying to watch the TV and you’ve got the radio blaring!’
And she, of course, cried at some stage. I can’t even remember what she cried about, because in my mind I just wanted to smack her!”
The Real Housewives Of Melbourne Reunion airs 8.30pm Sun May 15 on Arena
The final resting place of Prince Diana is due to undergo an extensive refurbishments, almost two decades after she died in a car accident in Paris.
The late mother of Prince William and Prince Harry was laid to rest on September 6, 1997 on an island at the centre of the Althorp Estate, a 13,000-acre estate in Northampton owned by the Spencer family and now Princess’ brother, Charles Spencer will oversee the revamp.
The island in the estate’s Round Oval Lake is the site where the Princess was buried and there are reports that the trees, along with a memorial temple dedicated to the late Princess, have become overgrown and unkempt, reports the UK’s HELLO!
It is believed the plan is to fix up the state of the site – news that will no doubt please those who were close to the royal.
Next year in August will mark 20 years since Diana died but her charitable legacy lives on in her two boys and just this week Prince Harry, 31, gave an intimate interview to PEOPLE where he paid tribute to his mother.
“All I want to do is make my mother incredibly proud,” Harry, who was just 12 when his mother died, told People magazine. “That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.”
“When she died, there was a gaping hole, not just for us but also for a huge amount of people across the world. If I can try and fill a very small part of that, then job done. I will have to, in a good way, spend the rest of my life trying to fill that void as much as possible. And so will William.”
Victoria Beckham has spilt the beans about how she lip-synced during her spice Girls days.
The fashion designer, formally known as Posh Spice, said the decision to not sing live was out of her hands.
“They used to turn it off and just let the others sing,” the singer-turned-fashion designer told The Telegraph when she attended the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London on Thursday.
But the 42-year-old quipped:
“I got the last laugh – and now my mic is well and truly on, finally.”
And Victoria she said she found a way to stand out.
“Luckily because I used to wear heels, I just used to jig about a bit and I got away with it but it never came easily,” she said. “I was always much more reserved than the other girls.”
Sydney-siders have woken up coughing and wheezing this morning thanks to 40 controlled hazard reduction burns taking place around the city and as far as the Blue Mountains.
A spokesman for the NSW Rural Fire Service said hundreds of volunteers as well as National Parks employees, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
“Conditions are good,” he said, adding that the NSWRFS was taking advantage of the fine weather before rain scheduled on Sunday.
The smoke and haze has been so thick over the city that some building’s smoke alarms have been set off.
Earlier this morning the NSW Fire Service tweeted there would be reprieve:
“Smoke has settled due to lower temps overnight. Should clear throughout the morning.”
