Hollywood actor Dev Patel has been spotted at the scene of a stabbing in Adelaide’s CBD.
Patel, known for his roles in Slumdog Millionaire and Lion, and who lives in Adelaide with his Australian girlfriend, was captured by 7NEWS cameras speaking with police after witnessing the incident on Gouger Street just after 8.45pm on Monday.
Emergency services had been called to the area following reports of a man and woman fighting in the street.

A 32-year-old Glengowrie man was treated at the scene by ambulance officers before being taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
His injuries are not considered life-threatening. The 34-year-old woman from Park Holme was arrested at the scene.
The pair are known to each other, with South Australia Police saying the incident was not random.
The woman was charged with aggravated assault causing harm and has been refused bail.
She was to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

If juggling six children while working as a doctor – during the pandemic mind you – wasn’t difficult enough, Pittmann wants to add another spinning plate.
“My goal is to join the Army Reserve,” Pittman told The Sunday Telegraph.
“I am halfway through that application, but I had the twins, so it has been delayed.”
The 39-year-old and her husband, Paul Gatward, announced the arrival of Willow and Quinlan in March last year, just months after her impressive stint on Seven’s SAS Australia.
After putting her mind and body on the line during the second season of the hit military-style show, it seems the real-life Wonder Woman has what it takes to join the military.
She said her decision was influenced by her brother, grandfather, brother-in-law and father-in-law are all veterans.
“We have a lot of family involved in the military,” she said.
“My brother was an ex-Afghan veteran, my grandfather was in the Army and my husband’s brother is in the Army, as is his father. Also my grandparents were Dutch and went through (Nazi occupation in) World War II.
“So we have seen first hand how the war can impact them when they come home. I have grown up with a lot of respect for veterans.”
Pittman’s brother Ryan was involved in the military for “several years” and did tours in Afghanistan.
The champion hurdler revealed it was her brother who inspired her to become involved with the Legacy Centenary Torch Relay, a six-month campaign that acknowledges veterans and families of veterans.
“This is my opportunity to thank the men and women who have represented our country,” she said.
“I think it is so wonderful they are getting 2000 people to hold the torch in various places around Australia.”
Pittman has already built a very impressive career.
She’s best known for her sporting prowess, having competed at three Olympics, been a two-time world champion in the 400m hurdles, and for her Gold medals at the 2002 and 2006 Commonwealth Games.
In 2019 she completed her medical degree and is now specializing in women’s health.

“I feel incredibly lucky to have a career after sport,” she admitted on SAS Australia.
“I know a lot of my friends have really struggled with it.
“Sport, for me, was almost an accident. I wanted to be a doctor from the age I could remember. I remember carrying a little doctor’s bag around that my granddad gave me, and it was full of all sorts of pretend instruments and stethoscopes and things. And so that was my goal.”
Nichelle Nichols, who broke barriers for black women in Hollywood when she played lieutenant Nyota Uhura in the original Star Trek TV show, has died at 89.
Key points:
Nichols’ son Kyle Johnson said she died on Saturday in Silver City, New Mexico
Her role in the 1966—1969 series as Lieutenant Uhura earned Nichols a lifelong position of honor with the series’ fans
Nichols also served for many years as a NASA recruiter, helping bring minorities and women into the astronaut corps
Her son Kyle Johnson said Nichols died on Saturday in Silver City, New Mexico.
“Last night, my mother, Nichelle Nichols, succumbed to natural causes and passed away,” Mr Johnson wrote on his mother’s official Facebook page.
“Her light, however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration.
“Her’s was a life well lived and as such a model for us all.”
Her role in the 1966—1969 series as Lieutenant Uhura earned Nichols a lifelong position of honor with the series’ fans, known as Trekkers and Trekkies.
It also earned her accolades for breaking stereotypes that had limited black women to acting roles as servants and included an interracial on-screen kiss with co-star William Shatner that was unheard of at the time.

Fellow cast member George Takei described Nichols as “trailblazing and incomparable”
“For today, my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend,” he posted to Twitter.
Takei played Sulu in the original Star Trek alongside Nichols.

But her impact was felt beyond her immediate co-stars, and many others in the Star Trek world also tweeted their condolences.
Celia Rose Gooding, who currently plays Uhura in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, wrote on Twitter that Nichols “made room for so many of us. She was the reminder that not only can we reach the stars, but our influence is essential to their survival. Forget shaking the table, she built it.”
Like other original cast members, Nichols also appeared in six big-screen spin-offs starting in 1979 with Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and frequented Star Trek fan conventions.
She also served for many years as a NASA recruiter, helping bring minorities and women into the astronaut corps.

More recently, she had a recurring role on television’s Heroes, playing the great-aunt of a young boy with mystical powers.
Star Trek premiered on NBC on September 8, 1966.
Its multicultural, multiracial cast was creator Gene Roddenberry’s message to viewers that in the far-off future — the 23rd century — human diversity would be fully accepted.
“I think many people took it into their hearts… that what was being said on TV at that time was a reason to celebrate,” Nichols said in 1992 when a Star Trek exhibit was on view at the Smithsonian Institution.
Emo mania swept Perth on Saturday as British punk rock sensation Yungblud visited streetwear store Culture Kings for a lively meet and greet.
A diverse crowd of more than 600 lined the streets, with some fans only eight years old and another brave enough to ask the musician to autograph their chest for a tattoo.
Lara Smith, 18, made the peculiar request to which the award-winning artist happily delivered and signed away.

The Memories singer, 24, born in Doncaster, England, charmed fans with his English accent and witty jokes. They had waited patiently since 5am that morning ahead of his concert at Astor Theater on Saturday night, marking the last show of his Australian tour.
First in line was eight-year-old Agnes Mallinder and her father Jamie, who had a vinyl record ready for the star, with over 3.7 million Instagram followers, to sign.

The big age range of fans proved the English singer has amassed a broad audience here in Western Australia.
Yungblud is not the only Doncaster-native star in town, as former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson performed at HBF Park on Friday night.
The 30-year-old donned a Burberry sweater as he played some of his biggest solo hits and fan-favorite 1D tracks, before going to an unknown nightclub after the show.
Johnny Depp’s hotshot lawyer Camille Vasquez has conducted her first sit-down interview after Amber Heard officially filed a notice of appeal over the $US10 million verdict in the former couple’s defamation case.
A spokesman for Heard announced the appeal move with a statement appearing to pre-empt social media reaction earlier in July.

“We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the First Amendment,” the spokesman said.
“We are therefore appealing the verdict.
“While we realize today’s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice.”

Speaking to CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King on Friday, Vasquez said Heard’s appeal was “expected.”
“She’s indicated since the day she lost the trial that she was going to appeal.”
Vasquez said Depp’s team had prepared a strategy to deal with that.

“Mr Depp ended up filing his own appeals so that the court could have a full record.
“She insists on continuing to litigate this matter. We have to protect our client’s interests.”
Vasquez’s reference to Depp’s “own appeals” refers to the fact he has also filed an appeal against the jury’s ruling that he had defamed Heard via comments made by his attorney Adam Waldman in 2020.

Following Depp’s courtroom win, the actor told fans: “The best is yet to come and a new chapter has finally begun.”
King asked Vasquez: “How do you heal and move on when both sides are still in court arguing?”
“It’s pretty standard legal procedure,” Vasquez said.
“We just are hopeful that the court will uphold the verdict, which we think was the right verdict, and allow both parties to move on.”
“So is it safe to say that if she hadn’t appealed you all would not have appealed either and you would have moved on?” King asked.

“Yes,” Vasquez answered. “That’s a very fair statement.”
Before the official notice of appeal, Heard’s lawyers had unsuccessfully asked Judge Penney Azcarate to set aside the verdict and “investigate potential improper juror service”.
Among a variety of arguments, Heard’s lawyers suggested one juror on the panel may have been selected illegally.

According to court papers, a summons went out to a 77-year-old man.
But the man who responded in his place was his 52-year-old son, who has the same name and lives at the same address.
However, in a written order Judge Penney Azcarate rejected all of Heard’s claims and said the juror issue specifically was irrelevant and that Heard can’t show she was prejudiced.

“The juror was vetoed, sat for the entire jury, deliberated, and reached a verdict. The only evidence before this Court is that this juror and all jurors followed their oaths, the Court’s instructions, and orders.
“This Court is bound by the competent decision of the jury,” Azcarate wrote.

Among the lovelier lyrics in Don McLean’s song about Vincent van Gogh are those that refer to “faces lined in pain” being “soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand.”
Key points:
The Spirit of SA collection showcases people, places and objects with strong ties to SA
The works will be auctioned off to raise $100,000 to support children with cancer
At the forefront is artist Mark Lobert, who volunteered his time to produce 42 works in about 30 weeks
Something of that tender spirit is reflected at Mark Lobert’s Port Adelaide studio, where, for the past few months, an impressive act of artistic altruism has been taking shape.
“Hopefully we’ve done SA proud because we’re very proud of this collection,” Lobert said when describing the project.
Painting is a paintaking business, but these portraits and landscapes are about alleviating pain — specifically, the pain of very sick children.
Collectively, the 42 canvases will comprise the Spirit of SA exhibition, and they depict prominent South Australian faces, places and icons.

From Monday, they will be on display at Adelaide’s Westpac House, and will be auctioned online to raise at least $100,000 for the Childhood Cancer Association (CCA), to support children battling the illness.
Subjects include rock legend Jimmy Barnes, actress Theresa Palmer, the Hills Hoist, Kangaroo Island’s Remarkable Rocks, chef Maggie Beer, and pop singer Guy Sebastian.
There are also the ABC’s Collinswood building, AFLW star Chelsea Randall and former prime minister Julia Gillard.

“As a female in politics, and in general, she’s an amazing person,” Lobert said of Gillard.
“The painting that has been done by Barnesy is linked in with the Largs Pier Hotel.

“That image would have to be one of my favourites.”
The project has evolved collaboratively — fellow artist Phil Hodgson has worked closely with Lobert, and it is testament to their commitment to the cause that both have volunteered their time.
Each has brought different and complementary skills.
Hodgson’s talents include the ability to capture the lineaments of a human face, while Lobert has focused on non-human subjects, as well as color schemes and other touches.
42 paintings in 30 weeks
In person, Lobert can look a little like a canvas himself—his arms are impressively inked, and his paint-stained shirt resembles a palette for mixing colors.
His studio is every bit the artist’s den.

It is brimming with brushes, paint pots, blank canvases, and works in progress, and its floor is so densely covered with splashes of pigment that it resembles an example of Jackson Pollock’s abstract expressionism.
But the paintings themselves suggest other suitably eclectic influences.
A carton of Farmers Union Iced Coffee, a packet of FruChocs and a selection of frog cakes evoke Andy Warhol’s soup cans, while the blues and yellows of an image of Adelaide’s skyline bring to mind van Gogh’s Starry Night.

“I kind of love colour, I’m always trying to chase color — I need to have color all around me,” Lobert said.
Despite that passion, he admits the production of 42 sizeable works in about 30 weeks has been a challenge.

But when he admitted, “I won’t lie — it’s been very stressful”, he spoke with the smile of someone who knows the finish line is in sight.
“They have taken a lot of time,” he said.
“Originally, we were going to start off with about 14 — then it went to 20, and 25 went to 30, then it bloomed out to 38 and shot out to 42.”

‘The fight of his life’
The driving force behind the project has been media identity and CCA ambassador Mark Soderstrom.

“I thought, we’ve got to be grateful for where we live, what can we do to raise $70,000 to $100,000?” he said.
“What if we try and showcase the best part of South Australia, and then auction them off for Childhood Cancer?
“They need something like $1.3 million a year to function and provide their services, so if we could put a dent in that, it’d be bloody brilliant.”
Chosen subjects also included Port Lincoln’s tuna industry.(Supplied: Phil Hodgson and Mark Lobert)
Soderstrom admits he is not “arty” himself — but he is impressed by the power of art not only to raise funds but to provide respite.
Through CCA, he struck up a friendship with Lobert.
Their work has put them in contact with some harrowing stories.

Soderstrom recalled the case of Jaxon, “an unbelievably brave little boy” who was undergoing palliative care at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
“He was in the fight of his life, and his parents called him Iron Man because he was so strong,” Soderstrom said.
Soderstrom asked Lobert to paint a picture of the superhero for Jaxon, to go over his hospital bed.
“Every time he woke up, with the time he had left, all he could see was Iron Man.”
Easing the burden on children like Jaxon is at the heart of the Spirit of SA.
“Our father passed away with cancer,” Lobert said.
“So whenever I hear of any [fundraiser] that’s to do with cancer, it’s always going to be a ‘yes’.
“I love to be able to give.”

Taylor Swift has responded to critics after she topped a list of celebrities who have taken the most private flights.
The ‘Shake It Off’ hitmaker has been accused of damaging the environment after her jet flew 170 times between January 1 and July 19 2022.
The research gathered by Yard revealed that Taylor, 32, spent more than 22,000 minutes in the air – the equivalent of 16 days – but a representative for the star claimed she is not solely responsible for the emissions.
They told Rolling Stone: “Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals. To attribute most or all of these trips to her from her is blatantly incorrect. ”
The research alleges that other celebrities are guilty of damaging the planet, including the former boxer Floyd Mayweather, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg and talk show legend Oprah Winfrey.
Meanwhile, Taylor confessed that she went through a “very hard time” during her public feud with music mogul Scooter Braun.
The pop star was involved in a public row with Braun after he purchased her back catalog in a big-money deal and allegedly placed restrictions on her performing her hits live.
Taylor lifted the lid on the troubled time during a talk at a New York screening of her new film ‘All Too Well: The Short Film’ and said of the feud: “It was a very hard time for me. A lot of my hardest moments and moments of extreme grief or loss were galvanized into what my life looks like now.”
Swift directed the project – which stars Dylan O’Brien and Sadie Sink – and claims that it marked a new chapter in her career.
She told the audience: “(This is) me stepping out of what I usually do, which is writing songs and singing them … It was a vulnerable moment where you’re sort of on the precipice of finding something new and you’ re just really hoping you do everything perfectly. It is also important to remind yourself that you shouldn’t do everything perfectly because you need to learn and grow.”
