Tortured toddler who had life support switched off is making incredible recovery

After suffering horrific abuse, and being turned off life support, Bobby the Brave is living up to his name.

Bobby Webber was seven months old when his uncle tortured him on the Central Coast in September 2014.

Bobby’s injuries were so horrific that his medical team told his parents to turn off his life support because he would never recover from his trauma, reports Daily Mail.

His devastated parents followed this advice, but against all odds Bobby continued to breathe on his own, and he continued to heal.

The little boy was left at home with his biological aunt’s partner while his parents were on their honeymoon.

In the four hours Bobby’s aunt was gone, his uncle, Andrew Nolan, inflicted multiple skull fractures from blunt force trauma, blood pooling in his eye from being shaken so violently, fractured vertebrae, bruised genitalia and bite marks on little Bobby.

Bobby’s parents were devastated when they switched off life-support, and Bobby’s determination to live is nothing short of miraculous, earning him the name Bobby the Brave.

Bobby’s injuries left him with cerebral palsy but he continues to make progress in his recovery. Sadly, Bobby will endure significant health issues for the rest of his life.

After initially denying the attack, Nolan pleaded guilty on Bobby’s second birthday, and is awaiting sentencing in June.

The family had to move closer to the Nepean Hospital to continue Bobby’s treatment and they care for him full time which impacts them financially. A GoFundMe page has set up to help with the cost of Bobby’s ongoing treatment and to assist with the families expenses. For details go to gofundme.com/bobby-the-brave.

How Scientology lured Tom Cruise

How did a bizarre religion convert devout Catholic Tom Cruise? The answer might surprise you.

There was a time when Tom Cruise was a devoted Catholic, and even considered a career as a priest – so how did he become the world’s most famous Scientologist?

A new book by the father of the head of Scientology, David Miscavige, claims the bizarre religion wooed Cruise not unlike how a potential lover would.

Ron Miscavige’s memoir Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige and Me – extracted in The Daily Mail today – says David launched a “charm offensive” to befriend Cruise.

He took Cruise clay pigeon shooting, racing through Los Angeles in supercars and even wined and dined him, treating him to dinner at the Scientology head base where they ate next to a life-size replica of spaceship.

Ron, David’s father, claimed his son’s plan was to make Cruise feel like he and David were “brothers” and then “exploited” that relationship for the benefit of his beloved church.

Before long, Cruise was the most famous Scientologist in the world, starring in promotional films for the church, donating millions and publicly espousing it at every given opportunity.

Claire Danes

It’s the biggest style event of the year, so naturally, it can only be followed by some the biggest after parties.

From the Kardashian’s to the Knowles sisters, all the stars came out to play for fashion’s night of nights.

And of course no after party would be complete without a bit of drama! There was pizza, epic dance-off’s and extravagant outfit changes – one of which caused a very risky wardrobe malfunction.

So click through the gallery to find out what went down after the red carpet was rolled away!

After the seemingly never-ending drama that followed the scandalous release of Beyonce’s Lemonade, fans speculated that Rita Ora and Bey’s friendship was a thing of the past. But as it happens, the singers are stronger than ever! Rita snapped this pic on Snapchat as proof, and both her and Katy Perry donned ‘Not Becky’ badges as they celebrated!

Sister act! Beyonce flew solo to the Met Gala as hubby, Jay Z was nowhere to be seen, but the Single Ladies hitmaker couldn’t have cared less as she partied into the night with sister Solange.

Ultimate fangirl Lorde showed off her gratified cast on Instagram after the night’s festivities. Bragging, “If you ever wanna know who was at the 2016 met gala they’re all on my arm.”

Oops! Perhaps ‘it’ girls, Kylie Jenner and Hailey Baldwin should have talked about their very similar outfits before the big night…

Kate Hudson encountered a close call with her second gown of the evening. The blonde beauty was seen holding the front of her dress down as she made her way in to the Up and Down night club in New York.

Taylor Swift ended her night a lot less gracefully than it began.

David Hasselhoff engaged to Hayley Roberts

The Hoff is engaged and it only took him a few attempts to finally get a yes!
David Hasselhoff and Hayley Roberts

The Baywatch actor popped the question to girlfriend Hayley Roberts after nearly five years of dating.

“I had a saying, ‘You don’t get married because you want to live with someone, you get married because you can’t live without them’,” he told the UK’s Hello! magazine.

“I felt that way. I knew that I was really unhappy without her.”

Post continues after the video…

This will be the third time down the aisle for the 63-year-old star.

Meanwhile, a devoted David has dropped down a knee multiple times proposing to Hayley, the first time being in 2012 on the top of the Harbour Bridge.

But it’s taken several attempts to finally seal the deal.

Speaking of the romantic beach-side proposal in Malibu, Hayley, 36, couldn’t keep the tears away.

“We were both in tears… I genuinely had no idea he was going to do that. I’m still overwhelmed,” she laughed.

Hayley met David while he was signing an autograph for her… When she asked for a photograph, the actor agreed on one condition: She had to give him her phone number. A few days later, the two went on their first date together… and the rest is history!

While the Hoff was concerned about their 27-year age gap, Hayley admitted it didn’t phase her.

“I don’t worry about it. I don’t want to miss out on being with someone I love because of what might happen down the line.”

The American icon, who met the Welsh beauty during his time on Britain’s got Talent, is already dad to his two daughters, Hayley, 23, and Taylor, 25, from his 1984 marriage to Pamela Beach.

Both girls couldn’t be happier for their dad.

“I told my girls what I was going to do and they were both really supportive,” he said.

“It’s tough. No one wants to see their parents split up. But they love Hayley and they’re just happy for me.”

He has five more kids with ex-wife Nicole Mitchell: Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola, and Bella. He also shares nine-year-old Angel with former Spice Girls star Mel B.

The Hollywood star, who will now have nine children, has five kids with his former wife of 12 years, Nicole Mitchell.

The duo, who revealed they were having a girl a month ago, are notoriously private.

Having been together for more than four years, Paige revealed to Vanity Fair that she prefers to stay out of the limelight.

“I’m in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there’s already enough of me out there,” she explained.

“I felt like I was giving out too much information. I was giving people too much access. I like to keep as much private as possible now.”

Congratulations, we can’t wait to see Izzy!

The pair have been together for over four years.

It’s over: Shock Seven Year Switch split

Tim and Tallena’s partners have finally found out what they’ve been up to, and they’re not happy.
Loading the player...

They slept together, romped naked in a spa and got matching tattoos – so it’s not surprising Tim and Tallena’s partners had a lot of questions last night.

It was the first time the Seven Year Switch couples had met each other’s partners and Jackie was up first – and top of her mind was those matching tattoos.

She had been shown a photo of Tim and Tallena getting inked but assumed they were faking it – to which Tallena pulled off her sock and proudly showed off her fresh tatt.

“Well then, Tim and I are over,” Jackie said. “Done. If he wants to get a rise out of me that bad that he’s willing to get a tattoo with you, then yeah, he can get f—ed. I would never in a million years get a tattoo with someone else’s partner.”

Tallena tried to defend Tim, but Jackie wouldn’t have it: “Nup. Over. You can tell him. Over. He can get f—ed.”

Jackie was devastated

Meanwhile, in a pub across town, Brad and Tim were getting down to business, with Brad opening proceedings by asking if Tim had ever shared a bed with Tallena.

Tim admits he got into bed with her once but claims she got straight out.

“So you attempted to sleep next to my partner?” Brad said. “Why would you put her in that predicament or me or Jackie? That’s pretty low. I’m a little disheartened from hearing you tried to jump in bed next to my partner.”

Brad then asks if Tim had been in the spa with Tallena. He admits they had, but pretends to be sketchy on the details – like whether they had clothes on or not.

“Was she in a bikini? I can’t even remember to be honest,” he said.

The spa? Tim’s face says it all.

Brad is not happy. “It’s not a frat party. Like, f*** man, that’s ridiculous,” he said. “It really is. That pissed me off. You’re aren’t thinking about your other partners.”

Then it’s time to talk about the tattoo, which Tim thinks is a barrel of laughs until Brad tells him Jackie wants to split up because of it.

And Jackie’s not the only one who wants to call it quits – Brad has decided he wants to dump Tallena, but reconsider when he reads a sweet letter from her.

“I still love her and I still want to marry her. At the end of this, as soon as I get home, I’m gonna have a cheque waiting for our wedding,” he said. “Nothing’s gonna stop me proceeding with our wedding.”

But does Tallena feel the same way? We will find out next week.
