The other Modern Family member

Now to Love

Sarah Hyland is hot property right now, but what really caught our eye when the 23-year-old graced our shores this week was the man on her arm.

Matt Prokop, also 23, has been an honourable member of the Modern Family, er, family for some time.

The pair got together in June 2009, when Modern Family first went to air and they were both making a name for themselves on the big screen, starring in Disney comedy Geek Charming. Since then they’ve been inseparable.

Check out this gallery of the loved-up couple’s on-set snaps and red-carpet moments and click through for more pics of Modern Family in Oz.

Taboo? Fur features at NY Fashion Week

Fur at NY Fashion Week. Still Taboo? - FUR is tipped to make a comeback after featuring heavily on models strutting the runways at New York Fashion Week this month.

Now to Love

In a trend that has provoked the ire of animal rights campaigners, a clutch of respected designers used fur hoods, collars and coats in their winter collections for 2014.

Flamboyant furs and feathers were also a recurring feature on the backs of carefully-dressed fashionistas attending the shows.

Designs by Ralph Rucci, Katya Zol and Diane Von Furstenberg

However, not everyone is embracing the move back towards real fur, which became almost taboo in the 90s when some activists began throwing buckets of red paint on models who wore it.

The Australian arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) raised concerns about cruel methods of skinning animals in China, which is the world’s biggest exporter of fur.

Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian was photographed in a full body fake fur coat emblazoned with the words “F**k you fur” sprayed over the back in red paint.

And young British designer Hannah Weiland who produces high quality faux fur under her label Shrimps is enjoying a boom in the lead up to London Fashion Week. Fans include actress Helena Bonham Carter and model Laura Bailey.

Fake fur designs by Shrimps

Claire Miller, of PETA Australia, told aww.com.au fur had become widely socially unacceptable in real life, away from the runways.

“Eighty-five percent of the fur industry’s skins come from animals living captive in fur factory farms,” she says. “These farms can hold thousands of animals, who are crammed into barren, wire cages for their entire lives, often driven insane by their confinement.”

“We encourage the public to refuse to support the cruel industry and wear faux fur which is a much more compassionate option.”

Bali drug suspect left secret note, dashed for ‘holiday’

Now to Love

Bondi clothing store assistant Leeza Ormsby left Sydney for Bali unexpectedly, reports JONATHAN MARSHALL

It was the trip that party girl Leeza Ormsby told no-one about.

Planned in secret, the first time anyone knew she was headed for Bali was when Leeza’s flatmate arrived home from work to find a note from her left in the kitchen.

“I’m away for 7 days, see you soon,” reads the handwritten letter obtained exclusively byWoman’s Day.

Two weeks after the surprise note was left, the attractive 37-year-old Sydney woman was arrested at a luxury villa when Indonesian police found 132.2g of MDMA and 27.06g of hashish.

Do you know Leeza? Email us atWoman’s Day.

Leeza is already being compared to Schapelle Corby, released from prison just two days before New Zealand-born Leeza was arrested for alleged drug possession.

In the note, Leeza says she would leave rent money to cover her absence, but she only left a fraction of the promised amount before she went to Bali.

In an exclusive interview today, Leeza’s flatmate James said he had no idea his flatmate was going to Bali but says she spoke about needing to “get away”.

“She said she was stressed and needed to get away from everything, life was getting too much,” he says. “But she was also one of those people who made a big deal about everything so I didn’t pay too much attention.”

In the weeks before leaving for Bali, James noticed a change in her behaviour.

“She stopped going to work, I can’t work out whether she lost her job or just left,” he says. “But she was staying at home during the day.”

One of Leeza’s workmates, Mark Lenczycki, 26, toldWoman’s Daythat the New Zealand-born shop assistant left her job without any reason a couple of weeks ago.

“I didn’t know where she had gone or what she was doing; I certainly didn’t know she was off to Bali,” says Mark, who describes his co-worker as “a good salesperson, a great chick”.

Now to Love

American actress Jessica Biel is taking on a new role this year as she reveals plans to open her first restaurant.

The family-friendly restaurant called Au Fudge in Santa Monica, has been labelled “Soho House for kids” and will be the new place for celebrities to dine comfortably with their children.

Stars might also take part in the cooking activities that will be offered to guests.

The official Au Fudge Instagram page (@aufudge) left followers drooling after it gave a sneak preview of just a few goodies A-lister diners can expect to see on the pastry menu, including apple pie, lemon slice and chocolate coated macaroons.

Aside from a life filming and being married to singer Justin Timberlake,Biel will definitely have a lot on her plate. She told Jay Leno that she would help with the baking, although she admitted she’s still only a novice.

This proved true when she shared an Instagram snap of an attempt to bake cinnamon buns as she attached the caption “I mistook the salt for sugar & these cinnamon bun beauties were so gross! Moral of the day: Don’t let looks deceive you!”

Hopefully she will have more baking lessons before opening day, but we can’t wait to see which stars and their famous children are lining up to try the much awaited sweet treats.

Now to Love

This little boy’s hilarious facial expressions say it all.

His father, Anton Avdeyev of Kazakhstan, regularly participates in drifting competitions, using a technique in which drivers over-steer their wheel, causing the vehicle to lose traction and drift on the course.

On this occasion he took his 3-year-old son Timofey out on a race course with him.

Avdeyev has apparently assured Storyful.com that the drive took place on a secure closed track with no other cars and that his speed didn’t exceed 37 miles per hour.

Now to Love

A New Zealand woman living in Sydney’s east was arrested in Bali last week, accused of having cannabis and MDMA in her Kuta hotel room.

Police allege they found a cigarette of hashish in her handbag, as well as 132g of MDMA and 27 grams of hashish inside the villa in North Kuta.

Ms Ormby has reportedly denied any knowledge of the drugs allegedly found at her villa.

Do you know Leeza? Email us atWoman’s Day.

Police have not yet disclosed what charges she faces, but the maximum sentence in Indonesia for possession of Group 1 drugs – which covers both cannabis and MDMA – can be life imprisonment.

Ms Orsmby’s lawyer Ary Soenardi released a statement describing his client as an unemployed backpacker living in Australia. Her address is listed as Paddington, Sydney.

Mr Soenardi said Ms Ormsby arrived at her villa at 8am on February 12 to collect her laptop and towel and found that police had been sent there via a tip, according to News Ltd.

She was searched and arrested.

Convicted Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby was released just days earlier from Kerobokan Prison in Bali for possession of over 4 kilograms of marijuana. She received a 20-year sentence and served just under half of that prison term.
