Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth return to LA holding hands

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have stepped around their romantic reunion for as long as they could but now they’ve shown the world that they’re in love.

Watch the happy couple’s most recent PDA in the player below. Post continues after…

The pair were spotted holding hands as they made their way through LAX after spending some time with Liam’s family in Byron Bay, Australia.

The 23-year-old singer kept it casual after the long flight, donning a pair of sandals, black socks, a grey sweatshirt and matching leggings.

Holding hands, the pair presented a united front.

Meanwhile her Aussie hunk of a boyfriend looked very cool in a tee and jeans.

The 26-year-old, who originally proposed to Miley back in 2012 prior to their break-up, recently admitted that the pair are not engaged despite the blonde songstress still wearing her ring.

No matter what the marital status of the duo, it seems they are blissfully happy.

Miley has been in Byron Bay with her beau and his family.

She might not be engaged but Miley is still wearing her ring.

In January Chris Hemsworth spoke to ET about his brother’s relationship with Miley.

“I’m happy if he’s happy, whatever he’s doing in life,” he shared.

“I can’t confirm any of that but, you know, he’s smart [and] he’s happy.”

And she’s certainly made a solid friendship with the Thor actor’s wife, Elsa Pataky.

Over the weekend, the Wrecking Ball singer got a matching tattoo with Liam’s sister-in-law, designed by pro-American surfer Kelly Slater.

“Stoked to do these little matching custom waves @kellyslater drew up for @mileycyrus @kalanimiller @elsapatakyconfidential @aprilmun,” Sydney tattoo artist Lauren Winzer captioned the snap.

Watch Miley dedicate a love song to Liam below.

The friends show off their matching ink.

Being fat helped me find happiness

From homeless teen, to fitness model, to obese mum. Crystal Andrus Morisette's journey to happiness was a rocky one.

Former fitness model, Crystal Andrus Morisette, once upon a time traded on her fabulous body in order to keep a roof over her head and food on her table.

She starred in fitness videos and campaigns and claims to have survived on starvation diets to keep the look she was aspiring to reports news.com.au

After she became pregnant to her first husband she let it all go and started to eat for two…or three, until she gained 45 extra kilos on her 167cm body.

“I went from fitness queen to McDonald’s queen,” Crystal, who lives in a small town outside Toronto, Canada, told The New York Post. “I ate cheeseburgers and fries every day. I convinced myself that the iron and protein were healthy.”

Crystal says she was never previously happier.

Her tale is a tragic one.

A story of sexual abuse at the hands of her mum’s boyfriend, and rape by a stranger, both before she was even 15.

Crystal lived on the street, trading shelter and food for sex with men she didn’t care for, for three years until she discovered fitness modelling.

Crystal claims to have felt so demeaned by her life as a fitness model and being judged for her looks that staging a revolt and becoming obese was a form of self-protection.

“Men who would cheat on their wives with me were making jokes about how fat I was,” she says. “I felt safer. It worked for me for a while.”

Eventually this protective layer of fat didn’t feel great any more so Crystal dropped 40 kilos and divorced her husband after her affair.

The ongoing conversation about whether being fat makes you happy or miserable is a crazy concept. Michelle Bridge’s caused great commotion when she said “I’ve never met a happy fat person”, and although Crystal says being fat helped her find happiness this does not strike like a story of contented curves.

Self-confidence, self-esteem and good health give you happiness, and those three things can come at any size.

Crystal has balanced out her weight at a healthy size 10 and found happiness and married “the love of my life”, but more importantly, Crystal has discovered fulfilment by finding her true journey as a “women’s empowerment” speaker and author.

Her five books include last year’s The Emotional Edge: Discover Your Inner Age, Ignite Your Hidden Strengths, and Reroute Misdirected Fear to Live Your Fullest.

Dogs refuse to leave dying baby’s bedside

Five-month-old Nora Hall is in an induced coma after suffering a major stroke, but her beloved basset hounds refuse to leave her side.

A dog’s bond with their human family is unbreakable, and this story certainly proves that.

A five-month-old girl named Nora Hall has a couple of hospital bedside buddies in the form of her beloved basset hounds who refuse to leave her side.

Four weeks ago, little Nora suffered a massive stroke and has been in an induced coma in a Minneapolis, US, hospital ever since.

Her mother, Mary Hall, has shared the heartbreaking news that her baby girl is “not going to survive” and that her and her husband have to make the gut-wrenching decision as to whether to switch off Nora’s life support.

But their dogs are struggling to leave. “They allowed us to have our bassets here in the last couple of days because they are so attached to her,” said Mary.

“I can tell that they are very stressed and sad.”

Mary is now concerned about whether it’s in the best interests for the dogs to stay there or to go her brother’s house, “in case they get more stressed seeing everyone upset, or if I should let them stay in the room for when she passes, so they aren’t left wondering where she is when we go home.”

So she posed a message to The Wonderful World of Basset Hounds Facebook page for advice, where she was overwhelmed with messages of support. Mary is now going to keep them with Nora.

“Thank you very much. We don’t know how we are going to get through tomorrow… But we will take things one day at a time,” Mary said.

“We are just so glad that we will get to go home with our bassets to comfort us.”

“They have been our babies for eight years before Nora.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up by Mary’s cousin, Heather Radtke, and has raised a whopping $16,000.

How David Beckham celebrated his birthday

David Beckham turned 41 yesterday - but he didn't celebrate in the way you might expect!
How David Beckham celebrated his birthday

The doting dad celebrated his 41st birthday with his loving family, somewhere far, far away…

Football legend David Beckham started his birthday celebrations over the weekend with none other than the most important people in his life – his family.

The retired athlete is currently enjoying some well-deserved R&R with his four children, Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 11, and Harper, four, in the picturesque countryside.

From his comfortable spot in the rolling green fields, the 41-year-old took a minute to connect with his fans on Instagram, by sharing a heartfelt video message thanking them for their love and support.

“Thank you all for the birthday messages and for your support this year!” he captioned the video where can be seen sitting in front of an empty field, looking the part of a country man in a flat cap and jumper draped over his shoulders.

“Hi everybody, so it’s a year to the day since I joined Instagram, I just want to thank you all for your support! 22 million in a year – not too bad!” the proud papa quipped in the video before a montage of some of his best Instagram moments flashed across the screen.

David’s loving wife, Victoria, also took the time out from their relaxing getaway to wish her husband the best on his special day.

Taking to Instagram, she uploaded a super sweet photo of her main man, looking chipper as he sat in front of a cosy fireplace completely surrounded by birthday gifts.

“Happy Birthday to the most amazing husband and wonderful daddy X We all love you so much!!” She penned to her 10 million followers.

Beck’s eldest son, Brooklyn, also shared a happy snap in his honour, which showed the two looking more like siblings than father in son as they sat atop a wooden fence bordering a paddock.

“Happy birthday dad. I’m so lucky to have a dad and a hero all in one! Love you so much” he said fondly of his dad who he has nicknamed “Mr Guns” – for obvious reasons.

Happy Birthday, David!

Five cent coin to be phased out

Say goodbye to the little silver echidna!

The five cent coin could be killed off today, according to a report on news.com.au.

Australia’s smallest denomination of currency is now virtually redundant after years of inflation and the advent of cashless payment technology and tonight’s budget could sound its death knell, not least because it now costs the mint six cents to make every five cent coin.

If the budget does kill off the five cent coin, it will lead to a change in pricing structures nationwide, as retailers currently round up or down to the nearest five cents for cash payments.

It would also lead to lighter wallets, unencumbered by vast numbers of tiny silver coins.

Madonna and son Rocco make up for lost time

Superstar Madonna has reunited with her 15-year-old son Rocco, amid a bitter custody battle with ex-husband Guy Ritchie.
Madonna Rocco Ritchie

It’s been a tumultuous time, to say the least, but it seems the dust has finally settled for the Vogue hitmaker.

Now, after months spent in and out of court fighting with Rocco’s father, Guy Ritchie for custody, Madge and her beloved son are finally making up for lost time.

Over the weekend the 57-year-old posted a sweet photo to her Instagram account where she stood next to her son -who now towers over her – while placing her head contently on his broad shoulder.

The cuddled-up snap was the third in a series of three photos with her kids uploaded by the blonde beauty, which all together made up the phrase: “Love is all we need.”

Fans couldn’t be happier to see Madge and Rocco reunite. The star posted this happy snap of her and her son enjoying a night out in London.

Since the legal battles, the starlet’s relationship with her son has gone from strength-to-strength.

In fact last month Madonna returned to London with the sole purpose to repair their rift.

A clip obtained by MailOnline showed the 57-year-old and her son leaving the Electric Cinema together after enjoying an evening screening of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in London’s trendy suburb of Notting Hill.

It was a touching scene to see the pair reunite with happy faces, given Madonna’s boisterous few months spent on her controversial Rebel Heart tour which she endured scrutiny on her tardy performances and sloppy behaviour, amidst the seemingly never-ending custody battle.

The superstar’s offspring had been at the very centre of the bitter dispute ever since he refused to return to his mother’s New York home after visiting his dad Guy Ritchie and step-mum, Jacqui Ainsley in December.

However, a source close to the family revealed last month to Mail Online that things are finally “getting back to normal” after the ongoing disputes.

“Since Madonna’s return to London, things have taken a definite turn for the better,” the insider revealed.

“Everyone is happier than they have been for weeks and it’s great for all of them that life is getting back to normal.”

It seems that Rocco’s been noticeably more joyous since his mother’s arrival in the UK.

Astrologer Jonathan Cainer predicts own death

Popular newspaper horoscope write Jonathan Cainer has died, aged 58.

Cainer passed away in his North Yorkshire home yesterday, following a suspected heart attack. He was found by his wife Sue and taken to hospital, but pronounced dead on arrival.

Cainer was famous for his “spookily accurate” horoscopes, none more so than his prediction for yesterday, the day he died, which poignantly read: “We’re not here for long. So make the most of every moment.”

Cainer’s horoscopes were read by 12 million worldwide and translated into Italian, Chinese, Spanish and Japanese.

“Jonathan had this great talent – not only his gift and wisdom but also the ability to make people feel he was speaking directly to them as individuals,” his brother Daniel told The Daily Mail.

“I think that was the key, that people felt he spoke to them personally. Even the most cynical and hardened person could read their forecast and be amazed by its accuracy.”

$9 to pick up your own parcel

The hated “while you were out” slip is about to come at a cost.
$9 to pick up your own parcel

Australia Post will charge customers up to $9 to pick up undelivered parcels from August 1.

News.com.au reports that a change to delivery services will see customers paying up to $9 to collect parcels from their local post office.

Undelivered parcels are currently held at post offices for 10 days before they are returned to sender. The new rules will see that holding period extended, but at a cost.

Parcels will now be held for free for just five days. After that, fees will be charged for collection on a sliding scale, increasing by $3 per week until 30 days when the parcel will be returned to sender.

“Most customers want to pick up their parcel quickly, with 92 per cent of parcels collected within five days,” an Australia Post spokesman said.

“We believe this service will help the small amount of customers who can’t collect their parcel straight away.”

“They have told us they want to avoid parcels being returned to sender and they would go out of their way to pick it up sooner to avoid the fee.”

Rebecca Judd regrets daughter’s name

The WAG is one of a growing number of parents suffering “baby name regret”.
Rebecca Judd regrets daughter’s name

She’s just announced she’s expecting twin boys, taking her total number of sons to three – so it’s perhaps not surprising that Rebecca Judd has some regrets about her daughter Billie’s less than girly name.

“Wish we called Billie a proper girl’s name now,” the WAG, model and mum joked on Instagram.

Rebecca isn’t the only mum to suffer from “baby name regret”. It’s something that afflicts a growing number of parents, even leading some to officially change their children’s names, something which (ironically) many go on to regret.

“I regretted both of my children’s names after birth,” one mum wrote on baby name site Nameberry. “I changed my daughter’s name from Millie to Sophia. I wish I didn’t. I didn’t change my son’s, though, and I’m happy. As he’s gotten [sic] older he just seems to fit.”

Another mum on the same forum agreed, writing: “I sometimes have name regret, also with my third. We named him Declan, which I knew wasn’t very common in our area … but I also didn’t anticipate how many strange looks and mispronunciations we would get either!

“I love the name and know that if I changed to something else that I didn’t have my heart set on that I would experience the same regret.”
