Beloved rock star Gord Lewis found dead aged 65, allegedly murdered by his own son

Beloved rock star Gord Lewis found dead aged 65, allegedly murdered by his own son

Canadian rock star Gord Lewis died aged 65 on Sunday after he was allegedly murdered by his own son.

The Hamilton Police Department found Lewis in Ontario who “isolated” the incident to the musician’s son, Johnathan Lewis.

Johnathan Lewis, 41, has since been arrested and charged with “second-degree murder.”

The investigation is ongoing, according to police.

Hamilton detective Sara Beck said at a news conference on August 8 (US time) that they were not searching for additional suspects, the New York Post reported.

Police confirmed that Johnathan Lewis was in custody and had been charged.

Despite charging Johnathan Lewis, Beck added that they were “continuing to seek out witnesses and reviewing video in the area”.

Police said “a positive identification has not been made of the deceased due to the level of decomposition”, the Post reported.

Reportedly Gord Lewis had “injuries consistent with foul play” and the death was deemed a homicide.

Police said they were performing a wellness check on Lewis’ residence after a 911 call from staff at Canadian publication The Spectator.

Beck said the publication was receiving suspicious messages from two email accounts – both linked to Johnathan Lewis.

The first message came at 8 pm on 6 August (local time) and continued until the next day.

Reportedly one email said, “Funeral people need to get here quick. My dad is starting to decline.”

Investigation ongoing

Another said, “Now I just want to get help for my sickness and give my dad a proper burial. He didn’t deserve this”.

An autopsy is set to be performed along with “additional steps” to determine the cause of death properly.

The only other family member to speak out was Johnathan’s brother Brian Lewis who said, “We ask that you respect our privacy at this time,” according to The Spectator.

Lewis’ band Teenage Head announced the news on their Instagram on Tuesday.

“We are heartbroken and still trying to process the loss of our friend, bandmate and brother Gord Lewis Our hearts are with his family and all that knew and loved him,” the statement said.

“Gord was a force and an inspiration to many.

“You were taken from us far too soon.”

Lewis’ death is not the first for the rock band they lost another member, their drummer Frankie Venom in 2008 after a battle with throat cancer.

Teenage Head first began in 1975 when the band members were still in high school.

The band is best known for their songs Let’s Shake and Some Kinda Fun.

MKR judge Nigella Lawson stuns fans as her real age is revealed

MKR judge Nigella Lawson stuns fans as her real age is revealed

The addition of British home cooking queen Nigella Lawson to MKR’s judging team has been a huge hit, with viewers praising her grace, class, beauty and cooking insights.

But they are also blown away by her age, with many fans revealing they thought she was about 20 years younger than she actually is.

Lawson turned 62 in January this year – a fact that some fans are having trouble understanding.

“Can someone explain to me how Nigella Lawson can look so stunning ALL THE TIME?” one MKR viewer wrote on Twitter.

“She (is) 62yo and looks 42.

“What kind of witchcraft is she performing!”

“Gosh I didn’t know her age she’s a stunning human,” one follower answered.

“She literally has looked the same for 20yrs!

“Look at her neck, not a single wrinkle – I’m telling you, forget what ppl tell you, endulge (sic) in butter and cream and sweets, and chocolate and lush velvety rich sauces – and live and look like #QueenNigella! ”

“If I don’t age like Nigella Lawson, I don’t want to get old at all,” another observed.

Another simply wrote: “Nigella Lawson is 62. I refuse to accept this.”

Lawson said her trick to looking youthful was staying out of the sun – and eating “lots of fats.”

“I think what ages a face most is disappointment and a lack of enjoyment,” she once said.

“So I try to do what I love.”

Lawson has been famous for a lot longer than many people realize, however.

She shot to fame in the 1990s with her first cookbook and her TV career began in 1999 with the show Nigella Bites.

She’s since amassed a legion of fans who love the pleasure she takes in cooking and eating food.

“Not only is she a bona fide food-lover & relatable to all us home cooks but it’s her personable nature, positive energy, insightfulness & unique way with words that makes her so endearing,” one MKR viewer wrote on Twitter.

“Oh Nigella just brings so much warmth to this new season of MKR!” another noted.

Others have noted the nice rapport between Lawson and long-term judge Manu Feildel.

Speaking to 7Entertainment, Feildel said he was “thrilled” to be working with Lawson, whom he described as a “lovely” person.

Feildel said while he was a trained chef and Lawson a home cook, they both felt the same way about what made a great meal.

“We’re pretty much on the same page when it comes to that, actually,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a home cook or if you’re a chef – I think if you love food, you know what’s right and what’s wrong.

“I might know a bit more about technical ways of cooking something, but at the end of the day, the judging is pretty much about putting a fork of food in your mouth and you either like it or you don’t.

“It’s that simple.”

MKR continues on Channel 7 and 7plus Monday to Wednesday nights at 7.30pm.

The domestic goddess spoke to Larry and Kylie from the UK about life in lockdown, new recipes and her unusual toast buttering technique that made global headlines.

Julie Bishop stuns in Balmain dress at David Jones runway

Julie Bishop stuns in Balmain dress at David Jones runway

Former foreign minister turned mining adviser and fashion icon Julie Bishop has made another bold statement in her life post-politics.

Ms Bishop joined Australian department store David Jones for their first runway show in four years to premiere the latest Spring/ Summer 22 collection.

She turned heads on Wednesday night’s red carpet in a $3750 metallic jacquard long sleeve mini dress designed by French luxury fashion house Balmain.

The former politician slipped on a pair of black stockings, simple black pumps and completed the head-to-toe black look with a clutch adorned with silver chain detail.

Ms Bishop received a string of adoring comments when she posted photos of her look to her Instagram account.

Pip Edwards of Aussie activewear brand PE Nation wrote, “You stunner.”

“Va va va Voom!!,” Sunrise entertainment reporter Nelson Aspen commented.

One spot-on Instagram user compared Ms Bishop’s look to that of the late Princess Diana’s infamous ‘revenge’ dress which she wore at her first public event following her headline-making split from Prince Charles.

“Is that like Diana’s revenge dress?,” they said.

The skin tight mini black number certainly looked similar to the Christina Stambolian cocktail dress worn by the British princess.

It’s even more fitting given Ms Bishops very public split from long-time boyfriend David Panton who reportedly dumped her over dinner in July ending their eight-year relationship.

“I’m very busy,” Bishop told Confidential of her newly single life.

“I spend a lot of time at the ANU as chancellor, I’m doing a lot of speaking engagements and attending fabulous events like the David Jones launch”.

Just this month, Bishop hosted a Q&A with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended by university students from across Australia.

Ms Bishop also showed off a return to her iconic close-cropped blonde look after many months of growing out her hair post-politics.

“Ooo has she gone short hair again! I love her with short hair,” One fan, @amysuart commented below the photo.

“Looking gorgeous, what an inspiration, love the new do,” a friend said.

Bishop told Confidential she rushed to the salon just hours before the event.

“It’s a post-Covid recovery haircut,” Bishop said.

“After we went into lockdown I let my hair grow and then it became so easy but I managed to get an appointment with Scott Sloan, whom I have a great deal of respect for, and he cut my hair so I’m feeling great. ”

Ms Bishop was joined on the guest list by indie artist Vera Blue, model Natalie Roser, TV-host Erin Holland, activewear entrepreneur Pip Edwards, and fashion designer Bianca Spender at the flagship store.

Olivia Newton-John secretly visited grieving, injured Perth girl in Princess Margaret Hospital

Olivia Newton-John secretly visited grieving, injured Perth girl in Princess Margaret Hospital

Olivia Newton-John’s selfless attitude can be best described in a secret hospital visit to a grieving and badly hurt girl in a Perth hospital in 2003.

Emily Barker was just 11 and in critical condition in Princess Margaret Hospital after a crash in Beechboro that killed her 39-year-old mother, Catherine. Their car and a truck had collided after lightning had knocked out traffic lights at the scene of the incident.

Soon after, the girl’s father Ron — knowing Newton-John was in Perth for a concert — rang her record label to try to organize a spirit-lifting visit.

UK Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley slammed for ‘creepy’ Olivia Newton-John comment after her death

UK Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley slammed for 'creepy' Olivia Newton-John comment after her death

A UK breakfast TV host has been slammed by viewers after making “creepy” comments about singer Olivia Newton-John just hours after news of her death broke.

Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley paid tribute to the 73-year-old Grease star but copped a lashing from Brits over his choice of anecdote.

Madeley referenced an iconic 1970s modeling picture of Newton-John that had been shared in countless tributes following her death, including by her Grease co-star John Travolta.

“I wish I’d met her, I wish I’d interviewed her. It never happened, I always regretted it actually as years went by,” Madeley said.

“That publicity picture… the one of her in the denim shirt. It was a very famous poster of her by her in the 1970s. ”

And he went on to confess many of his former colleagues had a schoolboy crush on the star.

“That poster was on the wall of a radio station I used to work in back in the 70s and I’m not exaggerating, it basically stopped traffic in the corridor,” he said.

“It was up there for months! The guys would just stop and look at it.”

Insulting, inappropriate and very, very creepy.

Viewers were less than impressed by his comments, which came as many Brits learned the news of Newton-John’s death, following a cancer battle, aged 73.

“Richard Madeley’s weird angle on the loss of Olivia Newton-John today on (Good Morning Britain) was uncomfortable to watch,” one Twitter user wrote.

“Just kept on the line of how attractive she was & if she acknowledged how beautiful she was & how her colleagues would stare at her poster.”

One viewer described the comments as: “Insulting, inappropriate and very, very creepy.”

Some even called for Madeley to lose his job over the remarks.

“This creep needs to be fired,” one furious viewer wrote.

TV veteran Madeley, who is known for his cringeworthy live TV moments, is widely thought to have been the inspiration for comedian Steve Coogan’s show Alan Partridge.

Coogan has previously admitted Partridge’s character is similar to the host.

Last week, Madeley was in viewers’ crosshairs again for an awkward comment about England Lionesses soccer player Chloe Kelly.

While discussing her team’s Euro 2022 win, Madeley got a little too familiar with the player, referring to her as “Coco”, admitting he uses the same nickname for his daughter, who is also named Chloe.

Perth punk bank Body Horrors reports alleged assault by Mojo’s Bar staff member at Freo.Social

Perth punk bank Body Horrors reports alleged assault by Mojo's Bar staff member at Freo.Social

Popular Fremantle venue Mojo’s Bar has come under scrutiny in the music community after a Perth band member claimed they were attacked “aggressively” by one of their staff members at Freo.Social at the weekend.

Punk band Body Horrors will allege their lead singer Eden was in the green room on Sunday with a senior Mojo’s staff member when they were verbally abused and shoved by the woman in front of another band member just before midnight.

The band described the alleged incident, which followed their set at the venue on Parry Street, as “childish” and “unprofessional” on their social media page on Tuesday.

“(She) started antagonizing us, clearly intoxicated, aggressively yelling in our faces,” the band’s Instagram story read.

“Realizing there was no reasoning with someone in such a state, Eden and I tried to leave, twice.

“(She) then physically assaulted them by shoving them against the wall/door before opening the door to leave herself.”

On Tuesday Freo.Social confirmed it was investigating the incident.

“This investigation includes discussions with all parties involved, any witnesses, and reviewing the venue’s CCTV footage,” the venue wrote in a Facebook post.

“We are taking this incident very seriously, and the investigation is ongoing.”

The post claimed no contact had been made with venue management by those making the allegations as of Tuesday evening, and they remained steadfast in their “commitment to creating a safe and supportive space”.

Another local band, Lauren and the Good Fights, has thrown their support behind the Body Horrors band, urging other artists to boycott Freo. Social and Mojo’s Bar.

A WA Police spokeswoman has confirmed a complaint was made, and police will be making further inquiries into the incident.

Freo. Social and the Body Horrors band have been contacted for comment.

UNO lovers divided after company introduces new ‘skip’ rule to classic card game

UNO lovers divided after company introduces new 'skip' rule to classic card game

It’s the cheeky new rule causing outrage among fans of the classic card game UNO.

According to the gaming company’s website, players can now use a Skip card to avoid a Draw 2 — as long as they are the same color — and pass the buck to the next player.

“Skipping never felt so good,” UNO’s official Twitter account says.

“If someone plays a Draw 2 on you and you have a Skip card of the SAME COLOR in your hand, you can play it and ‘bounce’ the penalty to the next player!”

And get this, if the next player has a Skip card of any colour, they can play it and kick the penalty further down the line.

“The next player must draw the two cards, unless they have a Skip card (of any colour) they can play, in which case they pass the penalty to the next player and so on until no one has a Skip card and must draw two cards,” the company says.

The change, flagged on UNO’s Twitter account in 2020, has left many fans aghast.

“Absolutely not,” one player said. “I’ve lost enough friendships over fighting this exact rule.

“I can’t find this in the rule book — surely this is fake!”

Another simply wrote: “Nah no.”

And another said: “I’m starting to believe y’all don’t know how to play your own game.”

It comes after UNO confirmed that Wild Draw 4 and Draw 2 cards could not be stacked.

It meant that if a player put down a Wild Draw 4, the next player must simply draw four cards and skip their turn.

Another Wild Draw 4 cannot be stacked on top and passed to the next player down the line.

UNO said this had been the rule all along but it caused a storm among players who had always used the strategy — and mostly still do.

In 2019, UNO released a new version of the card game to add extra spice.

UNO Flip has gained its fair share of core fans, with many considering it more competitive.

The entire deck is double-sided, with a “light side” resembling the original game and a “dark side” where penalties are far tougher.

If you score a Flip card, you gain the power of revealing a new set of numbers and colors on the other side.

But there is one rule that never changes — whatever you do, don’t forget to shout “UNO” when you’re down to your last card.

My Kitchen Rules star Nigella Lawson’s real age has left viewers stunned

My Kitchen Rules star Nigella Lawson's real age has left viewers stunned

My Kitchen Rules fans have been left stunned by Nigella Lawson — and not just the star power, charisma and expertise she brings to the show.

The British chef has left viewers gobsmacked over her age.

It seems Lawson, who published her first cookbook in 1998 before breaking into TV with Nigella Bites in 1999, has a timeless beauty.

Because believe it or not, she is 62.

Lawson puts her youthful look down to staying out of the sun and eating “lots of fats.”

“I think what ages a face most is disappointment and a lack of enjoyment,” she said.

“So I try to do what I love.”

Lawson’s timeless look has left fans of Channel 7’s reality TV cooking show speechless.

“Look at her neck, not a single wrinkle — I’m telling you, forget what ppl tell you, endulge in butter and cream and sweets, and chocolate and lush velvety rich sauces — and live and look like #QueenNigella#MKR,” one wrote.

Another said: “Can someone explain to me how Nigella Lawson can look so stunning ALL THE TIME?

“She 62yo and looks 42. What kind of witchcraft is she performing!”

Yet another said: “If I don’t age like Nigella Lawson, I don’t want to get old at all.”

Since her first appearance on MKR on Sunday night, viewers have flocked to social media to dub her the “vital ingredient”.

After the exit of long-term judge Pete Evans, whose reputation took a tumble after his peddling of anti-vaxer conspiracy theories on social media, Manu Feildel has been paired with the British domestic goddess.

Their first episode saw them head to Victoria to taste the dishes of father-daughter duo Peter and Alice, and Lawson was clearly the star of the show, with the contestants even joking about giving her used cutlery to their family as gifts.

But when things fell apart in the kitchen, viewers really warmed to Lawson when she offered encouraging words.

“Nigella is the vital ingredient this show has been missing,” Twitter user Archie Banez wrote.

“Not only is she a bona fide food-lover & relatable to all us home cooks but it’s her personable nature, positive energy, insightfulness & unique way with words that makes her so endearing.”

Viewers also remarked on Lawson’s warm demeanour, while others said her presence encouraged them to tune in after not watching the show for years.

And she even won over the critics.

TV Writer Colin Vickery described Lawson as a “hoot” and “funnier and cheekier than on MasterChef”.

During the episode, Lawson showed her down-to-earth nature, ditching the cutlery to chomp at a lamb cutlet.

And while Peter and Alice’s home restaurant faced plenty of hurdles—and even a watery dessert fail—Lawson still tried to keep spirits high.

On Tuesday, Lawson took to Twitter to reply to some of the comments, saying that she was gutted for Peter and Alice.

“I was heartbroken for them. And hated the idea they would feel ashamed in any way,” she posted.

Schapelle Corby is looking for love after splitting from Balinese boyfriend

Schapelle Corby is looking for love.

The 45-year-old took to Instagram on the weekend, asking followers to “help” her find a new man after she split from her Indonesian boyfriend.

For more Celebrity related news and videos check out Celebrity >>

In the post, Corby is pictured walking along the beach holding the hand of her ex-boyfriend, Ben Panangian, whose image has been scratched out.

“Looking for a new Four Leaf Clover,” the image is captioned.

“ATTENTION. Help a girl out – Get Tagging.”

The original photo is from 2019 when Corby and Panangian were on holiday together.

Corby was deported from Bali back to Australia in 2017 after spending almost a decade in a Balinese prison for drug smuggling.

She had maintained a long-distance relationship with Panangian, but things are clearly now over.

And Corby’s followers had a field day with her post.

“DM anytime, I’m here for ya,” one person wrote.

“I have a two-screen Netflix account and a wine club membership,” another offered.

Others tagged their friends in, with one person writing: “He’s a strapping young lad with an eye for a mature madam.”

The friend who had been tagged added: “Gimme a chance Schapelle.”

“She’s single and ready to mingle,” one person noted.

“Girl, pick me! I’m single,” another pleaded.

Corby met Panangian in prison in Bali in 2006.

Also convicted on drug offences, Panangian was released from prison in 2009.

Corby was paroled in 2014 and returned to Australia in 2017.

The couple spent the next two years meeting up in places where their criminal convictions weren’t an issue.

Corby is not allowed to return to Indonesia and it’s understood the pair hadn’t seen each other face-to-face since the COVID pandemic began.

Rumors that Corby would appear on the new season of The Bachelorette were quickly shot down by producers, who said they were not interested in having “celebrities” on the show next season.

Ashton Kutcher reveals secret health battle: ‘Lucky to be alive’

Ashton Kutcher reveals secret health battle: 'Lucky to be alive'

US star Ashton Kutcher has revealed he has been secretly battling a serious autoimmune disease that affects his hearing, sight and ability to walk.

The That ’70s Show actor shared that he is “lucky to be alive” – and it took more than a year to rebuild his vision, hearing and balance.

“Two years ago, I had this weird, super-rare form of vasculitis,” Kutcher, 44, said in an upcoming episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge, released by Access Hollywood.

“Knocked out my vision, knocked out my hearing, knocked out like all my equilibrium.

“It took me a year to build it all back up.

“You don’t really appreciate it until it’s gone, until you go, ‘I don’t know if I’m ever gonna be able to see again. I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to hear again, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to walk again.

“I’m lucky to be alive.

“The minute you start seeing your obstacles as things that are made for you, to give you what you need, then life starts to get fun, right?

“You start surfing on top of your problems instead of living underneath them.”

What is Vasculitis?

Kutcher shared his health journey with adventurer and presenter Bear Grylls as they hiked through brambles and trees.

Vasculitis occurs when the body’s immune system attacks veins, arteries and small capillaries.

Inflammation occurs as a result, which can have the effect of narrowing blood vessels and restricting blood flow.

This in turn can cause organ damage or prompt aneurysms.

If an aneurysm bursts, it can cause internal bleeding which can lead to death.

Vasculitis complications took the life of actor-director Harold Ramis in 2014.

According to the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy the disease is “relatively rare”.

Kutcher has kept a lower profile since taking a break in his career from 2014 to 2022.

He and his wife Mila Kunis, now 38, married in 2015 and welcomed two children, Wyatt, seven, and Dimitri, five.

Kutcher and Kunis met on That ’70s Show in 1998, starring as an on-screen couple Jackie and Michael.
