Brynne Edelsten has endured some very public ups-and-downs over the past few years but she is firm her new-found motherhood has changed her life for the better.

The socialite, 39, told the Herald Sun on Saturday her four-month-old daughter Starr Amari is a ‘miracle’ and providing for her has given her a new perspective on life.

American-born socialite Brynne welcomed her ‘miracle baby’ on April 21.

She recently told New Idea that she’d chosen to give her baby girl the surname Gordon – her maiden name – so she would ‘feel connected’ to her family in the US

The identity of Starr’s father has not been made public. However, Brynne confirmed to the publication the man had met his daughter twice.

‘I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since Starr arrived,’ Brynne said of motherhood.

‘But I wouldn’t trade being a mum for anything – I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.’

The pregnancy was delightful news for Brynne, who discovered during her high-profile marriage to Geoffrey Eldesten that it was unlikely she could ever conceive naturally.

The Oklahoma-born television personality became famous in 2009 when she married Melbourne businessman Geoffrey Edelsten, who was 40 years her senior.

Their marriage, however, was short-lived and the pair divorced in 2014 after Brynne alleged her husband had been unfaithful to her.

The socialite recently made headlines after making bombshell claims her ex-husband Geoffrey Edelston tried to choke her with her own headband after she caught him sending large sums of money to young women on ‘sugar daddy’ dating apps.

The reality star is suing Edelsten’s estate for maintenance and support after his death last year.

She claimed Edelsten caught her contacting the women through her phone on one occasion and ‘punched her in the chest’ at their Melbourne CBD penthouse.

Ryan Moloney reveals he’s hoping to land a film role following hugely successful Neighbors finale

Neighbors star Ryan Moloney has revealed that he is again eyeing acting roles after switching his focus to a career in construction.

In an interview with Mark Dolan on GB News last night, Ryan, 42, who has played Jarrod ‘Toadfish’ Rebecchi on the soap since 1995, said that after the success of this week’s finale, he was again considering work on the big and small screens.

‘I’d love to do more acting and more TV and film. I’d love to come over to the UK and have a crack at one of your dramas. That would be absolutely special’ he said.

Ryan explained: ‘I’m just not saying no to anything and then in the meantime I’m doing civil construction.

‘I’m about to start doing civil construction and have to do what every little boy dreams of and learn how to drive trucks and excavators and dig big holes, so it’s all one big adventure.’

Asked how much contact he has had with cast members such as Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, Ryan joked: ‘Well, it’s very limited because that’s what the court order says that I’m allowed to.’

When it comes to regrets, Ryan insists he doesn’t have many.

‘I wouldn’t change anything. Probably the biggest downside is just trying to manage, like all of that kind of fame and attention,’ he said.

‘That’s one thing for me to deal with but then when you realize that your family has to deal with it as well and they haven’t been brought up with it and they’re not trained in it and having kids – kids don’t want to have all that attention on them.

‘I was at the gym with my daughter and before you know it, we’ve got a whole exercise group wanting to take photos with me and she’s just like, “oh my god”.

‘It’s things like that that you kind of go ‘I’m thankful that I am leaving’ at that point in that perhaps my kids can just kind of go under the radar a bit more and just enjoy having dad a bit more instead of the famous guy off TV.’

Ryan previously told The Daily Telegraph of his new career: ‘I’m not ruling anything out. I’m doing a civil construction course which is about driving excavators and building roads.

‘I like playing with those kinds of machines. I like doing earthworks, all that kind of manual labor stuff. That’s where I’m at, but who knows where it’s all going to end up.’

Ryan also revealed he has a commercial pilots license and said he ‘might come back to flying when the time’s right’.

The epic final focused on Neighbors legend Toadie’s (Ryan Moloney) wedding to Melanie (Lucinda Cowden) with him finally getting his happily ever after.

‘I have done so and I enjoyed it very much. I was born there, I’ve got my family there, aunties and cousins,’ he said.

‘I went back in 2000 and went back in 1999, it’s a great place.

‘The Brits, the UK – it’s a wonderful place to be, they embrace Neighbors like big, big warm cuddle. It’s beautiful.’

Asked why he thought the series was so popular in the UK, Benjamin said: ‘I think it’s because we bounce along and it’s jovial and it’s fun and it’s larrikinism.

‘It’s things you probably wouldn’t normally see and you’re hoping to see a kangaroo bounce pass in front of the camera one day.’

The all-star series finale of Neighbors saw the soap win the Australian television ratings for the first time in more than a decade.

The long-running Australian soap came to an end after 37 years this week.  Pictured: Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue in the final episode

The episode, which was simulcast on Channel 10 and 10 Peach, drew 873,000 metro viewers across both stations, largely thanks to the cast of returning favorites such as Guy Pearce, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan.

Neighbours’ final ever episode also ended on a high in the UK this week, as a peak of almost 3 million viewers tuned in to Channel 5 on Friday afternoon.

Neighbors was axed after the UK’s Channel 5 decided in March not to renew its contract with production company Fremantle to finance and broadcast the series.

The outing comes after Lindsay shocked her fans in a surprise post this month, after calling Bader her ‘husband’ in a gushing Instagram message that she posted on her 36th birthday last Saturday.

The New York-born actress first announced her engagement to her beau in November last year, after first being linked in 2020.

Earlier this month, the Freaky Friday star broke the news to her 10.9million followers, writing: ‘I am the luckiest woman in the world. You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time.’

She added: ‘I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and my everything. every woman should feel like this everyday.’

The couple are based in Dubai where the actress now lives, and are relatively private apart from a few Instagram posts from the star about their relationship.

In her engagement post last year, Lindsay captioned a loved-up snap of the pair: ‘My love. My life. My family. My future.’

Bader and Lindsay have been linked since they were spotted together at a music festival in Dubai shortly before the pandemic hit in 2020.

They have kept their romance out of the public eye.

In May 2020 the star’s mother Dina spoke of Bader, saying: ‘Lindsay is dating a wonderful guy right now,’ she said. ‘But that’s neither here nor there. When she’s ready to talk about her personal life, (she will).’

Lindsay Lohan’s dating history

2003 – Aaron Carter

2004- Wilmer Valderrama

2006 – Stavros Niarchos

2006 – Harry Morton

2008 – Heath Ledger

2008-2009 – Samantha Ronson

2013 – Matt Nordgren

2013 – Vikram Chatwal

2015-2016 – Egor Tarabasov

2019 – Mohammad bin Salman

Lindsay’s celebrity exes include Stavros Niarchos, DJ Samantha Ronson, Wilmer Valderrama and Aaron Carter.

It was claimed last year that Lindsay was smitten with Bader

A source told The Sun: ‘Lindsay’s relationship with Bader (Shammas) is going strong. She has been with him for about two years now.

Bader is a steady and stable presence in her life, the source added. He is a legitimate guy. He’s not an actor, he’s not in the entertainment industry, he manages funds for high net worth people at Credit Suisse.’

Lindsay was previously engaged to Egor Tarabasov but the pair split in 2016 after they were pictured grappling over a mobile phone on a beach.

During a Russian television interview that year, the actress claimed she even paid for her own ring when the pair got engaged in September 2015.

She also claimed that during their well-publicized rows Egor beat her and alleged that she covered up the bruises.

Tarabasov denied the ‘harmful’ and ‘false’ claims and no charges have been brought against him.

Meanwhile, Lindsay has been ramping up her professional career lately – launching a comeback after getting back on her feet.

The actress has signed a two-film deal with Netflix and is set to star in the upcoming romantic comedy, Falling for Christmas.

She’s also recently narrated the Amazon Prime Video reality dating show, Lovestruck High, and appeared as a judge on the Australian edition of The Masked Singer.

Lindsay launched her own podcast called The Lohdown with Lindsay Lohan this, which has seen her interview celebrity guests including the band Salt-N-Pepa.

Before that, the short-lived series Sick Note (2017-2018), starring Rupert Grint, was her most notable acting project in the last several years. However, the Mean Girls star served as a judge for Australia’s version of The Masked Singer for several seasons.

She had also opened a luxury VIP beach club on the Greek island of Mykonos in 2018 dubbed the Lohan Beach House.

As well acting new projects, it seems Lindsay has been making a killing with new sponsorship deals.

Last week, she brought on plenty of nostalgia as she made numerous references to her iconic 2004 movie Mean Girls, in her latest All Birds shoe commercial.

‘I didn’t run track in high school – I was more of a mathlete,’ the actress, 35, said in the commercial, referring to her leading role as Cady Heron – a high school student who belonged to the math club.

The star also poked fun of the pronunciation of her name, as she described the shoes as being, ‘Perfect for a Queen Bee like Lindsay Lohan… or is it Lindsay Lohan?’

‘I get it, as a running spokesperson, I guess I’m a little unexpected,’ the beauty added while promoting the brand’s latest ‘Tree Flyer’ shoe.

‘Together with @allbirds, I’ve gone from mathlete to unexpected athlete. All thanks to their Tree Flyer (the pink ones, of course), which is made with natural materials, instead of, you know…plastics,’ she wrote cheekily in the caption.

In yet another cute reference the star picked out a pair of pink sneakers and said, ‘Well, it is Wednesday’ in reference to the famous line ‘On Wednesdays, we wear pink’ from the film.

Continuing on with the fun allusions, she described the eco-friendly sneakers, saying: ‘These don’t just look cute, they’re made with natural materials. Always avoid the plastics.’

The plastics being the popular mean girl group that of the North Shore High School and the main antagonists of Mean Girls.

Lohan starred in the teen comedy film Mean Girls, directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey, in 2004.

Bella Hadid turned the sidewalk into her personal runway when she was spotted out in New York City on Saturday.

The 25-year-old model put her long, trim legs on display with a lovely white mini dress while on the move.

She was spotted heading out on a solo stroll in the Big Apple.

Bella’s striking look featured a brilliant white paneled dress delicate lace at the hem and slim straps that put the focus on her toned arms.

She matched the look with a thick white headband, which she wore with slim white sunglasses.

She helped use up more of her white items up before Labor Day by stepping out in simple loafers.

Seemingly missing from Bella’s walk on Saturday was her boyfriend Marc Kalman.

Marc is an art director who has worked for Travis Scott and the two have dated for two years.

The couple went Instagram official last July in a picture Bella posted from France, where she was attending the Cannes Film Festival.

A Page Six source claimed that Bella and Marc’s relationship began in July 2020 and that the dynamic duo ‘hid it well’ for the first year.

They are said to have carried on the romance in New York amid the coronavirus pandemic while assiduously making sure they never got caught together.

Bella rarely discusses Marc in interviews even now, and she attributes the longevity of their relationship to the fact that they have remained discreet.

‘I think that’s why things have been able to last. When you give other people room to have opinions on things that are so personal to you, it poisons it,’ she told Vogue.

Tim Paine and wife Bonnie look worse for wear as they emerge holding hands in Byron Bay

They spent Friday celebrating the wedding of Australian Cricket captain Pat Cummins and his partner Becky Boston in Byron Bay.

And embattled ex cricket captain Tim Paine and wife Bonnie looked rather worse for wear as they emerged for breakfast on Saturday morning after what was likely a big night of partying.

The couple, who were embroiled in a sexting scandal last year, put on a united front as they stepped out hand-in-hand en route to a local coffee shop.

Once at the eatery, the couple took a seat on the veranda and ordered breakfast and coffees.

Becky swathed her svelte frame with a baggy gray hoodie worth $350, and a pair of black short shorts.

Pulling her hair back, the blonde she shielded her eyes from the glare beneath sunglasses and completed her look with white sneakers.

Fellow cricketers Mitchell Starc, Andrew McDonald, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon and his wife Emma McCarth and Tim Paine and his wife Bonnie likewise attended.

Paine was replaced by Cummins as Australian cricket captain after he quit in November 2021.

He stepped down on November 19 after a sexting scandal in which Paine sent a lewd photo and explicit messages to a female staffer.

He was investigated by Cricket Australia in 2018 after the woman complained, but it was cleared of misconduct and the matter was kept secret.

Paine sent a photo of his penis to the female co-worker along with a stream of lewd text messages, many of which are too raunchy to publish.

‘Will you want to taste my d**k?? F**k me, I’m seriously hard,’ one of the messages sent to the Cricket Tasmania employee read.

Paine, who had led the team since the Sandpapergate scandal in 2018, held a press conference at which he tearfully apologized and announced he would step down.

‘It’s an incredibly difficult decision, but the right one for me, my family, and cricket,’ he told reporters.

Bonnie stood by her husband after privately being told of the sexting investigation in 2018, and insisted they’d moved past it.

Bonnie said the scandal had actually been ‘good for their marriage’ in the long run, even though she was ‘completely rocked’ by his betrayal.

She also admitted she felt bad for him after he was forced to stand down as Australia’s test cricket captain.

In an interview in November, Bonnie said she’d already ‘had her time’ of ‘getting angry, venting and getting upset’ but decided in 2018 to put the incident behind them – and that by doing so, their marriage was stronger than ever .

‘I have a bit of sympathy for Tim at the moment. A lot actually. He and I went through all of this privately in 2018. It was horrific then and is really hard now,’ she said.

Edna Sheppard: Meet the 100-year-old fitness fanatic who still does up to five gym classes a week

Edna Sheppard is an inspiring 100-year-old fitness fanatic who goes to the gym three times a week – proving that age truly is just a number.

The great-grandmother has been a loyal member of the Broadmeadows Aquatic and Leisure Center in Melbourne’s north for 40 years.

Despite her age, Edna can do full push-ups, sit-ups, planks, barbell squats and workouts while holding 5kg weights in each hand.

‘I do enjoy exercising, it makes me feel good and it’s important to keep the body moving,’ Edna told FEMAIL.

In the 1980s when her late-husband Max retired at 60 she ‘didn’t want him sitting at home doing nothing’, so she signed them both up to classes at the leisure centre.

These days she goes to the gym every Monday and Friday taking part in tai chi, aerobics and weights classes – and on Wednesdays she walks with the club. Sometimes she participates in up to five classes a week.

‘We do weights and all kinds of floor exercises, which I like,’ she said.

From the age of three through to her teenage years Edna loved dancing and did calisthenics. When she was a young adult she also took part in ballroom dancing.

‘At the age of 11 I won the prize for the ‘best physical culture child’ in Victoria,’ she recalled.

In previous years Edna took part in eight classes a week, including swimming classes and Zumba.

On days when she doesn’t feel like working out she still manages to put her sneakers on and visit the leisure center for a training session.

‘I do what I can – you need to know what you can and can’t do as you age,’ she said.

In the 80s when her late-husband Max retired at 60 she 'didn't want him sitting at home doing nothing', so she signed them both up to classes at the leisure centre.  And from there she hasn't stopped going back since (pictured: Edna at the front of a gym class working out)

During Covid lockdowns when the gyms were closed Edna worked out in the comfort of her own home using dumbbells.

And her main piece of advice to others is to ‘try hard’ and ‘keep moving’ but to also ‘understand your body’.

‘Make sure you know what you can do and what you can’t do, it’s not good pushing yourself or hurting yourself,’ she said.

From the age of three through to her teenage years Edna used to adore dancing and did calisthenics (pictured: Edna (left) with her sister (right)

When asked what her secret is to live a long and happy life, Enda said the key is to take care of your body and be kind.

‘I have never smoked or drank alcohol and I’ve always exercised as much as I could,’ she said.

‘I’ve always tried to mix well with people and do things for others.’

Edna said her diet consists of ‘plain, old fashioned good cooking’ and never eats spicy foods because she doesn’t enjoy it.

She cooks all her meals herself and makes sure she eats plenty of fruit and vegetables too.

‘Make sure to look after your body, because no-one else will do it for you,’ she said.

Edna’s tips to living a long life:

Take care of your body, because no-one else is going to do it for you

Try hard to workout but don’t injure yourself

Get along with other people

Care for one another

Edna’s tips on love and romance:

Communication is key

Talk everything out

Don’t be jealous

Be there for one another

Edna and Max wed in 1942 but unfortunately Max passed away 15 years ago, and Edna said the key to a long relationship is communication.

‘You need to listen to one another and if you have differences [in opinions]talk it out and things go right,’ she said.

‘I had a lovely marriage with Max because we were able to do just that – we’d always work it out.’

Earlier this year on January 29 Edna celebrated her 100th birthday at the Broadmeadows Aquatic and Leisure Center surrounded by family, friends and members of the club

Margot Robbie says she’s ‘eternally grateful’ to Neighbors for helping her break into Hollywood

Margot Robbie says she’s ‘eternally grateful’ to Neighbors for helping her break into Hollywood – and admits she only realized how popular the show was until she moved to London

She’s arguably one of the biggest stars to come out of Australian soap Neighbours.

And Margot Robbie, who played Donna Freedman between 2008 and 2011, is under no illusion that the beloved show was integral in helping her break into Hollywood.

‘There are so many of us that owe them for giving us a big break,’ Robbie, 32, told The Sun on Saturday.

‘It wasn’t just about giving me a break either — it gave me a real chance to work on my craft. It was the perfect training for Hollywood, and I will always be eternally grateful.’

Robbie, who moved to London in 2013 after leaving Neighbours, said she only realized how popular the show was until she lived in the UK.

‘When I lived in London, I understood at its peak how big it was. People would come up to me and tell me how they watched it every day after school.’

During the Neighbors finale, Robbie made a floating appearance in a 14-second pre-recorded video message.

Robbie was unable to travel to Australia to film scenes as she’s currently busy filming the Barbie movie in America.

However, she did show her gratitude by sending the entire cast a bottle of pricey Champagne.

Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce, Jason Donovan, Natalie Imbruglia and Holly Valance are among the other celebrities who returned to Neighbors to appear in the send-off of the Melbourne-based drama that helped launch their careers in acting and music.

Natalie and Holly filmed a scene together from the UK, which saw them bump into each other at a park before discovering they both once lived on Ramsay Street.

Neighbors was once a major hit in Australia and a bigger success in Britain, but has fallen victim to waning ratings in recent years.

Jason hinted that he was keen to say goodbye to his Bachelor days, in an interview with The Daily Telegraph’s Confidential in February 2019.

After claiming he was approached by Channel Ten to be last year’s leading man on The Bachelor, Jason then ruled himself out of appearing on the dating show.

Jason said he ‘was in discussions to do that’ but added: ‘I’m not interested anymore. It was a one moment thing.’

‘The love and joy that they get out of having kids, I’d love to have that too one day,’ he said.

‘Obviously I live a bit of a nomadic lifestyle with what I do… I think it’s one of those things that when it’s the right time it will happen.’

Speaking of the opportunity to star on The Bachelor, Jason said, 'I'm not interested anymore.  It was a one moment thing
