Beauty and the Geek star Aimee Woolley posts revenge photo

Beauty and the Geek star Aimee Woolley posts revenge photo

Looking back at awkward teenage photos, most of us will have changed dramatically – both physically and mentally – since high school.

Many of us got through that time the best we could, all while feeling insecure about our changing bodies as we tried to navigate the awkward teenage years.

High school was hard enough by itself, but add in cruel bullies and the experience can turn into a nightmare.

Looking at blonde “beauty” Aimee Woolley from reality television show Beauty and the Geekyou’d likely assume her time at school was a breeze.

But the 23-year-old nurse opened up to her followers by posting a picture on TikTok of her as a teenager in her high school uniform, with dark brown hair.

The video began with a voiceover stating “remember when you called me ugly?”, suggesting she was bullied at school.

She then continued the video with a montage of her now as a blonde adult on the reality TV show, with a voiceover stating “watch my glow up b**ch.”

Fans of Aimee applauded her openness and loved her “glow up revenge” on her high school bullies.

“You were gorgeous in both, some people suck!” one person commented.

Yas Queen! You look beautiful!”

“You were actually my #1 on the beauty and the geek” another said.

“Broke my heart when you were eliminated. ️”

Aimee was a contestant on this year’s Beauty and the Geek before being eliminated on episode 7 with her “geek” Jayden.

“I’m going to miss Jayden so much,” a tearful Aimee said.

“It’s so refreshing that they are still guys out there that are really nice.”

Beauty and the Geek first launched in Australia in 2009, and is based on the US version of the show that was created in 2005 by actor Ashton Kutcher.

The premise of the show is to pair a “beauty” – typically an attractive woman who is portrayed to lack intellect – with a “geek” – usually a man who is not conventionally attractive and may lack social skills but is very intelligent.

The couple who can get through to the end after competing different challenges will win the grand prize of $100,000.

Commonwealth Games 2022: Jamaica beat Australia Diamonds in ‘extraordinary’ netball upset, score, result

Commonwealth Games 2022: Jamaica beat Australia Diamonds in 'extraordinary' netball upset, score, result

Jamaica has defeated Australia for the first time in Commonwealth Games netball history, springing a shock 57-55 upset to shake up the race for gold.

Both nations went into the hotly anticipated clash undefeated and faced their first proper test to decide the winner of Group A.

There was nothing in it in the first half as the Diamonds and the Sunshine Girls went goal for goal, and Australia took a 30-29 lead into halftime.

Australia dominated the third quarter and took a six-point lead into three quarter time, largely thanks to their control of the midcourt and Gretel Bueta and Steph Wood firing on all cylinders in the shooting circle.

But just as the Aussies looked home and hosed, Jamaica somehow found another gear in the final term and chewed up the deficit in just a handful of minutes to hit the lead.

Bueta was silenced in the last quarter — she finished with 36 goals from 39 attempts, while Wood had 19 goals at 86 per cent shooting.

“How quickly this game has been turned on its head,” legendary Diamonds shooter Cath Cox said in commentary on Channel 7.

“It looked like Australia had taken control and it was all over.”

Jhaniele Fowler was superb at goal shooter for Jamaica in a physical duel with her West Coast Fever teammate Courtney Bruce.

Adelaide Thunderbirds duo Shamera Sterling and Latanya Wilson were outstanding in defense and secured ball at will for Jamaica with countless deflections.

“Extraordinary scenes, the Diamonds defeated for the first time this tournament,” Sue Gaudion said.

Cox said Jamaica’s performance “screamed ‘we can medal at these Games’,” adding Australia appeared to “shut up shop” in the last quarter.

“Australia couldn’t win the ball back — it was some brilliant defensive work from Jamaica. They really just lifted another level in the fourth quarter,” she said.

The two-point victory was Jamaica’s first over Australia in Commonwealth Games history and will seriously shake up the race for the medals.

It’s far from disaster for Australia, but they will now likely come up against England in the semi-finals on a more difficult path to the gold medal match.

Australia’s last Commonwealth Games netball gold medal came in Glasgow in 2014. The Diamonds claimed silver on the Gold Coast in 2018 after losing a thrilling final to England.

Commonwealth Games 2022: Sri Lanka athletes missing, Birmingham police investigate, passports confiscated

Commonwealth Games 2022: Sri Lanka athletes missing, Birmingham police investigate, passports confiscated

Three members of the Sri Lankan team have gone missing at the Commonwealth Games, the team has confirmed.

The Sri Lankan team says it has not been able to find two athletes and one official team.

Local news agencies in Sri Lanka are reporting the team’s chef de mission, retired army general Dampath Fernando, has now confiscated the passports for all remaining athletes and officials the country brought to Birmingham.

Sri Lankan team spokesperson Gobinath Sivarajah has told The Telegraph in India that Birmingham police are investigating the disappearance and have launched an official inquiry

“We have asked all athletes and officials to submit their passports to our respective venue officials in all the villages after the incident,” he said.

“The police are investigating and the three cannot cross the UK borders. What has happened is really unfortunate.”

The team has confirmed reports that the athletes involved are a wrestler, a judo athlete and a judo coach. The team says they have not been since Monday.

The judo and wrestling events are taking place at Coventry Arena, a 30-minute drive from Birmingham.

It is feared the three individuals do not want to return to Sri Lanka, which is facing the worst economic crisis in the country’s history.

Sri Lanka had picked a 161-member contingent, made up of 110 athletes and l51 officials.

The athletes and officials were granted standard 180-day visas by the British government for the event.

The scandal has overshadowed one of the country’s greatest athletics results after Yupun Abeykoon won the bronze medal in the men’s 100m at Alexander Stadium in a time of 10.14 on Thursday morning (AEST).

At the Gold Coast Games in 2018, a third of the Cameroon team went missing after the event was completed.

It was revealed the following year that 230 athletes and officials had made asylum claims to remain in Australia. 217 of those claims were rejected.

Sri Lanka is on the brink of a humanitarian crisis. The economy has collapsed under the weight of $75 billion of debt.

Wests Tigers, Michael Maguire, Benji Marshall, Robbie Farah, Tim Sheens, coaching

Wests Tigers, Michael Maguire, Benji Marshall, Robbie Farah, Tim Sheens, coaching

Former Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has warned Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah about the “challenge” of coaching, with the pair set to begin their new roles next season.

The Tigers confirmed last month that legends Marshall and Farah would return to the club as assistant coaches next season, under famous coach Tim Sheens.

Former Kiwi Test star Marshall will then take over from Sheens in the top job for three seasons from 2025.

Premiership winning coach Maguire is “looking forward” to seeing the famous duo reunite at the club where they both rose to fame, as they look to turn the Tigers around.

But speaking on The Back Page, ‘Madge’ also made sure to caution them about how difficult their new jobs can be.

“There’s many ways to do it so I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out,” Maguire said on The Back Page.

“Coaching is about spending time and actually coaching. They’ve got a few rookies that are going to come through and it is going to be a great challenge for the guys that are coming through in Benji and Robbie.

“I think they’re qualified because of the experiences they’ve had but coaching is not just about what happens there. It is life, it’s about the player and looking after the quality of each individual.

“It’s going to be a really good challenge for them.”

Wests started the season with five consecutive losses before record back-to-back wins over premiership contenders Parramatta and South Sydney.

But the veteran coach of 233 NRL games was later sacked as the club continued their underwhelming form, winning just one from their next five.

Major “Reboot” need for Knights – Buzz | 01:08

The Tigers were on another noteworthy losing run before their controversial loss to the Cowboys in Round 19, before bouncing back with an emphatic win over Brisbane last week.

Reflecting on his time at the club, Maguire said that his three-and-a-half-year tenure was a “great challenge.”

“I’m really fond of my time there, even though we didn’t get to where we wanted to get to and everyone wants to win a comp,” he said.

“But what I have learned over time and being in and around various clubs, is that we’re all working for the same thing but they’re so different.

“The makings of the club, where the club fits with their juniors to the recruiting to what goes on in the background, they’re all so different and that’s what us coaches enjoy, being able to bring that together to create the success.”

Maguire coached the World No. 1 Kiwis to a convincing 20-point win over Tonga in Auckland earlier this year, with rugby league returning to New Zealand.

With the World Cup just around the corner, the 48-year-old said that he’s focused on his role with New Zealand, but revealed that he wants to win another NRL premiership.

“I’ve taken a bit of a backwards step I guess. I’m just focused on the Kiwis and I’ve enjoyed that part because you don’t have the heat of the week-in, week-out. But I do miss that.

“That’s something that has always fueled myself, the challenge of each week. I’m starting to learn what it’s like to have the weekend and your family there because you’re so used to having to rise each week.

“I’m just sort of eyes wide open at the moment. I do love it [coaching] and I want to win another comp. To be in that arena is another desire.”

Jane Fonda plastic surgery: Star ‘not proud’ of facelift

Jane Fonda plastic surgery: Star 'not proud' of facelift

Jane Fonda is opening up about a past plastic surgery procedure, and admits she “is not proud” of having a facelift.

During an interview with fashion published this week, Fonda, 84, got candid about going under the knife.

“I had a facelift and I stopped because I don’t want to look distorted. I’m not proud of the fact that I had [one],” the iconic actress said.

“Now, I don’t know if I had it to do over if I would do it. But I did it. I admit it, and then I just say, OK, you can get addicted. Don’t keep doing it. A lot of women, I don’t know, they’re addicted to it,” she said.

Fonda said expensive face creams are not part of her daily skincare routine.

“I don’t do a lot of facials. I don’t spend a lot of money on face creams or anything like that, but I stay moisturised, I sleep, I move, I stay out of the sun, and I have good friends who make me laugh. Laughter is a good thing too.”

the Grace and Frankie actress also told the media outlet about her H&M Move campaign and how she still feels youthful in her 80s.

“I’m almost 85, but I don’t seem that old,” Fonda said. “So getting young people to stop being afraid of being old, helping people realize that just because you’re a certain age doesn’t mean you have to give up on life, give up on having fun… or whatever you want to do. ”

The H&M Move campaign is focused on “getting the whole world moving” – something Fonda has said she’s “been doing a lot of” in her own life.

The Oscar-winning star pointed out that aging does not have to be intimidating, and she wants more people to be aware that it can be positive and healthy.

“I know better than I did even when I was younger that no matter how old you are or who you are or where you are, keeping moving in a way that’s appropriate for your age is absolutely critical to your healthy lifespan.”

Lance Franklin, trade from Sydney Swans, move to Brisbane, Buddy, latest, contract, salary

Lance Franklin, trade from Sydney Swans, move to Brisbane, Buddy, latest, contract, salary

Sydney Swans CEO Tom Harley says a report linking Lance Franklin to the Brisbane Lions is “news to him”.

According to Channel 9, Franklin, who is coming to the end of his nine-year multimillion-dollar dear with the Swans, wants to continue his career at the Lions.

Speaking off-air to 3AW Sportsday after an interview, Harley said it was “news to him”.

Franklin’s future has been one of the hot topics in recent weeks, with 35-year-olds, who became just the sixth player in AFL/VFL history to kick 1000 goals earlier this year, wanting to play on.

According to the report, Franklin’s move would be in part because of his family’s desire to relocate north of the border.

The move would be a massive boost for the Lions, who have struggled to rid the unwanted pretender title after being a contender for years.

One of those reasons is because Lions haven’t won at the MCG for close to a decade, but Franklin’s arrival would give Fagan’s team a premiership-winner who lifts in the big moments.

It would also add to the Lions’ lethal forward line, where he would join Joe Daniher, Eric Hipwood and Charlie Cameron.

Man U coach Erik ten Hag savages ‘unacceptable’ Cristiano Ronaldo early exit from pre-season match, trade rumors

Man U coach Erik ten Hag savages 'unacceptable' Cristiano Ronaldo early exit from pre-season match, trade rumors

Erik ten Hag said it was “unacceptable” for Cristiano Ronaldo and other Manchester United players to leave Old Trafford before the end of Sunday’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano.

After taking a strong team to Oslo to face Atletico Madrid on Saturday, United wrapped up their pre-season preparations against another Spanish side the following day.

Watch the world’s best footballers every week with beIN SPORTS on Kayo. LIVE coverage from Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A, Carabao Cup, EFL & SPFL. New to Kayo? Try 14-Days Free Now >

United drew 1-1 with Rayo at Old Trafford as star man Ronaldo made his first appearance of pre-season, playing the first 45 minutes.

The 37-year-old missed the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to a family issue, and the wantaway forward was pictured with Diogo Dalot leaving Sunday’s game before full-time.

Ten Hag did not speak to the media after the match but has now expressed his annoyance to broadcaster Viaplay.

“There were many more (as well as Ronaldo) who went home,” the United boss said. “This is unacceptable for everyone,” he said. “I tell them that it’s unacceptable, that we are a team, a squad and that you should stay until the end.”

Ten Hag will take charge of his first competitive match as United manager on Sunday, when they face Brighton at home in the Premier League.

It comes a week after Ronaldo returned to training for talks with the coach about his future at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo, who missed the club’s pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia for personal reasons, wants to leave the club he rejoined last year.

I have arrived at United’s Carrington training base with his agent Jorge Mendes. Former United manager Alex Ferguson was also seen arriving.

New United manager Ten Hag said earlier this month that Ronaldo was “not for sale”.

“We are planning for Cristiano Ronaldo for the season and that’s it and I’m looking forward to working with him,” he said.

“I have read it, but what I say is Cristiano is not for sale, he is in our plans and we want success together.” The former Real Madrid and Juventus player finished as United’s topscorer last season with 24 goals.

But the campaign was a huge disappointment for the club, who finished sixth in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League qualification.

Commonwealth Games 2022, Australia vs Jamaica, netball, result, score, semi finals, table, points

Commonwealth Games 2022, Australia vs Jamaica, netball, result, score, semi finals, table, points

Australia has suffered a historic three-goal loss to Jamaica at the Commonwealth Games, rocking their gold medal campaign in Birmingham.

The Diamonds had been expected to sail through their Pool A matches and meet the second ranked team in Pool B in the semi finals.

But they coughed up a six-goal lead heading into the final term to suffer their first ever loss to the Sunshine Girls.

A brilliant 47 goals from international superstar Jhaniele Fowler and some remarkable defensive efforts from Shamera Sterling ensured Jamaica nailed a 57-55 win.

Fox Netball’s Catherine Cox said the Diamonds “just shut up shop” in the last quarter as Jamaica ran home with the win.

“Australia couldn’t win the ball back – it was some brilliant defensive work from Jamaica. They really just lifted another level in the fourth quarter,” she said.

Questions will be asked of coach Stacey Marinkovich’s selections, with just Sunday Aryang entering for four minutes in the second term and Sarah Klau coming on to a rejigged defensive line with four minutes remaining in the match.

Gretel Bueta finished the pick of the Diamonds attack, despite being silenced in the final quarter by Sterling, with 36 goals from 39 attempts.

Steph Wood’s night ended with 19 goals at 86%.

QUARTER BY QUARTER MATCH REPORT

Australia opted to start Gretel Bueta at goal shooter, with Steph Wood and Liz Watson out in front of her. Kate Moloney got the nod at center with Ash Brazill, Jo Weston and Courtney Bruce rounding out the defensive trio.

For Jamaica, Jhaniele Fowler started at GS, with Beckford and Williams at GA and WA respectively. Nicole Dixon-Rochester was center with Super Netball trio Jodi-Ann Ward, Latanya Wilson and Shamera Sterling the starting defenders.

The world’s best shooter started the match with a bang, with five quick goals to open up the first break of the match for Jamaica.

Courtney Bruce kept her West Coast Fever teammate in Fowler as high as she could, but Shanice Beckford was brilliant around the edges to keep feeding from close range.

Bruce and Jo Weston got early tips, but it was Jamaica who were able to convert while down the other end the connection to Gretel Bueta just fell away.

“The Diamonds are stunned here,” commentator Sue Gaudion said.

Australia scored just three goals in the opening seven minutes, before Steph Wood went from range and leveled up scores.

A Jodi-Ann Ward intercept gave Jamaica the lead once again as the long ball caught Weston’s eyes down.

“They exposed the Diamonds defense again,” Gaudion said.

A quick double play by Bueta ensured the Aussies took the lead with less than two minutes remaining in the first term.

Coach Connie Francis was left less than impressed when the Sunshine Girls threw away a brilliant Sterling intercept.

“But that is the issue – the conversion of those brilliant moments,” commentator Cath Cox said.

By the first break, it was Australia leading by one goal.

The Aussies went unchanged for the second term – the first time this tournament coach Stacey Marinkovich has opted for no changes after a break.

A big Sterling rebound gave Jamaica the first opportunity, but they couldn’t convert as Courtney Bruce’s brilliant hands over disrupted play.

“There’s plenty of feeling out there,” Cox said.

“Courtney Bruce giving the death stare to Beckford.”

The Aussies chanced their luck feeding Bueta with Sterling in hot pursuit but the move continued to pay off.

When Shanice Beckford found the top of the circle, the Sunshine Girls opted for a rare straight ball feed to Fowler.

“On the circle edge, feeding to Fowler – unbeatable,” Cox praised.

A rare mistake by Bueta saw the replay called, but once again Jamaica couldn’t convert as Khadijah Williams was penalized for footwork.

“It’s the simple things letting Jamaica down isn’t it,” Cox said.

Sunday Aryang was introduced at goal defence, joining her Fever teammates Bruce and Fowler in the goal circle.

And she almost had the immediate impact, getting a tip on a high ball to Fowler, but ultimately couldn’t stop the conversion.

Beckford had a brilliant intercept in front of Ash Brazill and suddenly the margin was back to one.

“Connie Francis willing them on,” Gaudion praised.

Wood backed her teammate Bueta when she went with the feed from the transverse, and the Firebird didn’t let her down with beautiful hands.

“The courage to let that go over the best goal keeper in the game… look at that take,” Cox praised.

By half time, it was Australia leading 30-29.

Weston returned to the court as some bad hands by Wood allowed the Sunshine Girls to draw level early in the third.

Jamaica managed to pull down another deflection but once again threw it away in the midcourt.

“That long outlet ball, if they just shortened it up and do one safety ball, I reckon they’d get themselves on the attack,” Cox said.

A rare shooter contact call on Fowler handed Australia the chance to pull away. Sterling’s cheeky pickup when Bueta put the ball down to set the penalty didn’t go unnoticed by the umpire as suddenly the lead was back out to four.

The physicality stepped up in the third, with Brazill getting under the skin of Adean Thomas and sent sprawling into the goal circle off the ball.

Once again, a Ward pick up on the circle edge ended up sailing over Fowler’s head as another turnover was wasted.

A second straight rejection from Sterling was called for obstruction as the crowd started to find their voice.

A misdirected midcourt ball ensured another turnover as the Diamonds extended the lead to six – the biggest of the match.

A strong take by Bueta over Sterling in the dying seconds pushed Australia out to a 46-40 lead at the final change.

Marinkovich went unchanged once again for the final term as Jamaican wing defender Jodi-Ann Ward came through with the deflection to help her side close within three.

Williams’ return at WA lifted the Sunshine Girls’ attack in the final term as they looked to find their rhythm to Fowler once more.

And when Wood couldn’t regather the short ball, and got done for replay, Jhaniele Fowler made the Aussies pay seconds later to close within one goal.

Liz Watson overcooked the lob to Bueta, and remarkably the Sunshine Girls took the lead with eight minutes to play.

“We haven’t seen that this game – that is the pressure. Mistakes like that have been few and far between for the Diamonds,” Cox said.

Despite Jamaican assistant coach Rob Wright pleading with his defenders to shut down Wood’s influence, it was Bueta they silenced as Wood had to step up.

And the Lightning star was up to the challenge with three successive mid-range shots.

Another Diamonds turnover, this time from Weston to her Vixens’ teammate Watson, gave Jamaica a two-goal buffer as injury time was called.

Weston headed to the bench, Bruce pushed out to GD and Sarah Klau was introduced for her first minutes of the night.

When Shamera Sterling came up with the big rejection and regather, Jamaica pushed out the lead with just a minute to play.

And in remarkable scenes, the Sunshine Girls held on in the thrilling final seconds with Shanice Beckford landing the final goal of the match.

In the end, it was Jamaica who claimed the win 57-55.

RBA interest rates: Westpac decreases fixed rates as three big banks pass on full 0.50 percentage point rate hike

RBA interest rates: Westpac decreases fixed rates as three big banks pass on full 0.50 percentage point rate hike

Westpac Bank has made a surprising move, choosing to spare some customers from escalating price hike pain.

The big bank has announced it will be decreasing its four-year owner occupied fixed interest rate by one per cent, down to 4.99.

Westpac is the third of the big banks to announce its rate changes following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to increase the official cash rate by 0.50% per annum (pa) on Tuesday.

The big bank has unsurprisingly followed its rivals the Commonwealth Bank and ANZ in increasing its variable home loan interest rates.

The interest rate changes will come into effect for new and existing home loan variable rate products on Thursday, August 18.

Earlier today, ANZ joined CBA in announcing it will be passing on the hike to variable rate mortgages and one savings account by the full 0.50 percentage points.

The major bank said its up-scaled up mortgage rates will come into effect for both new and existing customers from Friday, August 12.

The lowest variable rate will now be increased to 3.69 per cent – ​​just under that of CBA, which pumped up its lowest rate to 3.79 per cent.

Both rates are at three-year highs.

The ANZ decision also included increasing the rate on its new ANZ Plus Save account by 0.50 percentage points to 2.50 per cent for balances up to $250,000, which will come into place on Monday.

The move came just hours after Australia’s biggest bank, the Commonwealth Bank, announced it will pass on the full 0.50 percentage point hike to its variable home loan customers and some savings customers.

CBA will bring its occupier principal and interest standard variable home loans rate to 5.8 per cent.

Uncharacteristically, Australia’s other big banks have been slow off the blocks following the RBA’s decision on Tuesday, with CBA’s competitors Westpac, NAB and ANZ yet to make their announcements.

Mortgage rates for new and existing customers at CBA will rise by 0.50 percentage points on August 12, with investor rates rising to 6.38 per cent.

Research director at RateCity.com.au Sally Tindall said while the CBA’s decision comes as no surprise, for customers who are already feeling the heat, this fourth hike is a “difficult pill to swallow”.

“From next week, CBA’s basic variable rate will hit a three-year high of 3.79 per cent – ​​a huge increase from three months ago when it was just 2.19 per cent,” she said.

For an owner-occupier with $500,000 debt and 25 years remaining, the 0.5 percentage point hike means they will see their monthly repayments rise by $140.

To ease the strain, Commonwealth Bank is cutting its lowest four-year fixed rate to 4.99 per cent – ​​a drop of 1.60 percentage points.

This special rate, which comes into play on Friday, is strictly for owner-occupiers paying principal and interest on a package rate ($395 annual fee) for a limited time.

While Ms Tindall said the “whopping cut” will make it the lowest in its category, she warned it may not necessarily be a good idea.

“People should think carefully about whether they want to lock up their mortgage for the next four years because there can be significant consequences if they decide to break their loan,” she said.

For those with a NetBank Saver account, who will see the full rate hike, the research director said an ongoing rate of just 0.85 still won’t cut it.

“In this market, where we could see ongoing rates over 3 per cent, these savers are still getting paid peanuts,” she said.

But Ms Tindall said there are signs things could be turning around.

“On Tuesday, Macquarie announced it was making significant cuts to its fixed rates and now CBA is following suit,” she said.

“We expect this will trigger further fixed rate cuts from other lenders in response to both evolving market expectations and competition among the banks.”
