1. Monaco’s Princess Charlene has broken her silence.
Cast your minds back to the Royal Wedding, no, not that one, the other one with Monaco’s Prince Albert II and South African former swimmer Charlene Wittstock – remember her tears and the perfunctory kiss that sealed the wedding deal?
She’s given a rare interview breaking her silence revealing that her tears weren’t due to her fiance’s philandering ways.
“Everything was just so overwhelming and there were all the mixed emotions because of the rumours, and obviously the tension built up and I burst into tears [immediately after the ceremony].
“And then I burst into tears some more because I was thinking ‘Oh no, now the whole world has seen me cry”‘.
Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco as she’s now known has also said the rumours that she tried to flee in the days before the wedding were ‘categorical lies’.
“It was such a wonderful three days,’ she told the Times. ‘Even months afterwards I would get flashbacks and think, ‘Oh my goodness, did I really have the Eagles playing at my wedding?'”
“I think back and wonder how we managed to pull it off. There was a lot going on. It was beautiful; it was sentimental, showing my most intimate moment to the world.”
2. It’s been a crap weekend for Kylie Minogue – her ex-boyfriend got married and her current boyfriend spent the past couple of days doing THIS…
3. Hugh Jackman accidentally offends spa goers with his nudity.
Oops. Hugh Jackman has accidentally offended spa goers at a hot springs onsen in Japan by casually striding around sans pants.
The Wolverine actor failed to cover up his private parts and it took a fair few strange looks from bystanders till Jackman realised that the small hand towel provided was to cover his manhood.

Anyone else wishing they'd been a fly on the wall at that spa that day? Hugh Jackman in the buff... *fans self*
I would not have had a problem with it that's for sure!
That's one accidental flash I wouldn't have a problem with at all
Think that Hugh might have misinterpreted the onsen disapproval. It's fine to be butt nekkid, only some people choose to drape the hand towel as a concession to modesty.
His faux pas was to dip the cloth in the bath water; you're supposed to wash yourself prior to getting in to the baths. It's bad form to dip your cloth into the bath water as you might be contaminating the bath with leftover suds. Your supposed to put thew towel on the side or fold it and put it on your head.
Yes, agreed. I have visited many Onsen in Japan. You are bathing so completely nude is what you are meant to be. The hand cloth is small and not meant to get wet. Some men sit in the bath with it resting on their head (so it doesn't touch the water).
I thought that sounded strange. Having only been on the women's side I wasn't sure but my husband said he hadn't heard of that rule either. They are absolutely fastidious about being clean before getting in the communal baths, and rightly so!
