It was a big morning in breakfast radio, with Sydney’s Kyle and Jackie O and Melbourne’s Kate and Hughesy, and Matt and Jo having their respective last shows.

In Sydney, Kyle and Jackie O were quick to announce their new direction, with the worst-kept secret in radio finally being officially confirmed: the pair will be on MIX 106.5 from next year:

The Kyle and Jackie O Show managed to be controversial right until the end, with their final show playing host the Ajay Rochester’s final weigh-in for the Kyle and Jackie O ‘fat bet.’ Kyle told her to vomit before she stepped onto the scales.

Happy trails, everyone!

Jennifer Love Hewitt has a surprise wedding and a surprise baby.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has pulled a sneaky this week. Not only did she quietly marry her partner at some point – she also popped out a baby with barely anyone even noticing.

A representative for the 34-year-old actress told CNN that Hewitt and her partner, Brian Hallisay, were “thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter, Autumn James Hallisay”.

In the statement, Brian Hallisay was referred to as “her husband”. But nothing about a wedding date was mentioned… so it seems they’ve flown seriously far under the radar with this one.

Hewitt and Hallisay, 35, first met while working on an NBC show called “Love Bites.” They then reconnected on a Lifetime show called “The Client List,” where Hallisay played Hewitt’s husband.

Hewitt announced her pregnancy in June – which is also when she confirmed that the pair of them were engaged. At the time, she said they were “looking forward to starting our family together”.

Little Miss Sunshine grows up, takes off her clothes. Sigh.

Abigail Breslin isn’t a Little Miss anything anymore.

The 17-year-old has posed topless in photoshoot with controversial photographer Tyler Shields.

One photo features Breslin holding up a sheet to cover her breasts while staring into the camera with dark smoky eye makeup and wait for it, a red lollipop hanging from her mouth. Another photo shows Breslin in a bubble bath.

Of the shoot, Breslin says: “I don’t make these conscious decisions to do it, to like prove to the world that I’m grown up,” Abigail told E! News.

“I think people see my work and see what I do and see that I’m grown up. But yeah, I’m almost 18. I do want to try different things, but it’s all for fun.”

Breslin stars in Shields’ his first feature film Final Girl, which stars the 17-year-old as a young woman targeted for “initiation” by a group of guys.

“I wanted to do something iconic with her, something simple but timeless,” Shields tells E! News. “She’s the perfect subject for something like this. Incredibly talented, beautiful actress but no one has ever seen her like this. There’s fun in that—showing someone to the world for the first time.”

He continues, “Ever since we did Final Girl last year, she has grown up so much while making the movie, I put her through a lot so it was easy to do this. We have a great working relationship and I’m happy to see her all grown up.”

Nigella responds to drug allegations

In the wake of the drug allegations, Nigella Lawson has responded on Twitter thanking fans for their support.

The British tv chef thanked fans to those who used the #TeamNigella in the form of a Christmas recipe.

Strangely enough, on the same day as the drug allegations were made against Lawson, Trinny Woodall (who has been seen with Lawson’s ex-husband Charles Saatchi) revealed how alcoholism and cocaine addiction turned her into a “fake, lying, thieving, cheating person”.

She said: “I drank a bottle of vodka a night, with cocaine and pills. And I started to get into trouble. Not the kind of trouble that ended in prison, but it ended up with me feeling lonely and isolated.”

Bieber’s in trouble…

Justin Bieber has landed himself in trouble with Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate, after illegally spray painting a wall with graffiti. Naughty Biebs!

Bieber, who is touring in Australia along with his entourage, graffitied the wall late last night with cartoon-esque characters. Mayor Tate is rather unimpressed with the celebrity and has sent graffiti removal kits to Bieber, demanding he clean up his mess.

The Mayor told The Courier-Mail: “Justin Bieber is a role model to many young people so, if the claims are correct, it is disappointing that he did this without permission.”

The 2013 American Music Awards

This week saw the 2013 American Music Awards. And everyone’s talking about… Katy Perry.Miss Perry has been accused of racism after dressing as a geisha for her performance of ‘Unconditionally’.It’s not without context – the singer dressed as a geisha during her tour of Japan, and decided to re-use the costume for her AMA performance.

But after seeing it yesterday, the Twitttersphere went into meltdown accusing the 29-year-old of cultural misappropriation.

One tweeted: “This is the performance equivalent of an offensive Halloween costume,” another said, “Oh, good. Katy Perry is dressed as a geisha. I was afraid her sharp vocals would outshine her racism.”Check out her outfit in the gallery, as well as all the red carpet arrivals:

And in other AMA news…

– Miley Cyrus just keeps going above and beyond; her performance of Wrecking Ball featured a huge space kitten, and she dressed in a matching cat-printed bikini. At one point, the kitten cried, and everyone was sad. Take a look:

– Lady Gaga rocked up to the red carpet on a horse, presumably just because she could. Miley Cyrus was not at all impressed, and proceeded to complain to red carpet reporters: “What a f—ing … sorry! What a big scene stealer! Next time, I’m going to come in on a dragon.”We’re going to hold her to that.

– Justin Timberlake won three AMAs and, on his way to accept the second one, made a little pit-stop at Taylor Swift’s seat so they could exchange Taylor-Swift-excited-faces. Check out the GIF that resulted – it’s pretty excellent.

– Speaking of Taylor – she was voted the American Music Awards artist of the year for a third time, and won four awards all up.

Here’s a side-by-side for comparative purposes:

Just another guy in his 40’s who wants to look like Jennifer Lawrence. (And let’s face it – who doesn’t want to look like Jennifer Lawrence right now?)

Is Khloe Kardashian related to OJ Simpson?

The Khloe Kardashian paternity claim has reared its ugly head again, this time with OJ Simpson’s manager speaking out.

For many years, there have been questions surrounding whether Khloe is actually a Kardashian – or rather, a love child born from Kris’ party days. While it is known that the Kardashian’s were extremely close to OJ Simpson, with Robert Kardashian being part of his ‘dream team’ of lawyers, it is unknown just how close Kris may have got to OJ.

A little too close, according to OJ’s manager Norman Pardo, who has made claims that the families vacationed together and Kris was known to cheat on Robert.

‘It’s all going to come out sooner or later,’ Pardo told In Touch magazine. ‘Khloe could be O.J.’s kid.’

As for Kris, she puts the whole situation down to a family joke about Khloe being blonde rather than signature brunette like the rest of the Kardashian clan. While she’s admitted to cheating on her former husband, she’s always denied any allegations that Robert was not Khloe’s father.
