1. “It was odd not to be there.” Why Osher Günsberg wasn’t at The Bachelorette finale.

After four very dramatic weeks, anticipation is well and truly building for The Bachelorette finale, where we’ll see Angie Kent finally pick her winner.

But this year’s finale will be quite different from all other Bachie finales, as sadly, Osher Günsberg will not be there.

It’s incredibly devastating news and yes, Osher and his whispers will very much be missed.

But he does have a very good reason for not being there.

Osher told The Daily Telegraph that he missed filming because his wife, Audrey Griffen went into labour with his son, Wolfgang.

“In the last week of filming, Audrey had contractions seven minutes apart, so it was going to happen at any moment,” he told the publication.

“It was odd not to be there. It is the moment they go off into the wild and I really like to give them a hug and tell them I am happy for them. But I am sure I will catch up with everyone once the outcome is out there.”

Please meet Georgia’s youngest brother, Wolfgang. ⁠ We call him Wolfie for short. ⁠ ⁠ He and @Audreygriffen did so well on Friday when he was born perfectly formed with ten fingers and toes, healthy and happy at 3.97kg.⁠ (Though between the delivery bed and the scale he did do a massive poop – and the doc agreed that if he hadn’t he would have topped 4kg easily.) ⁠ ⁠ I am in complete awe of my wife. ⁠ ⁠ What I witnessed her do, the power I saw her summon from within her to bring this boy into the world was utterly astonishing. ⁠ ⁠ As he came closer and closer, her body began to unleash an incredible energy that was absolutely not going to be held back. ⁠ ⁠ Yet Audrey was able to harness it, guide it, and use it to transcend the extraordinary pain she was feeling and channel it all towards an energy that brought this boy alive and well into the world. ⁠ ⁠ That I’ve known Audrey for over five years, and yet had no idea that within her this whole time was an almighty divine force capable of bringing life into the world like this blows my mind and was astonishing to witness. ⁠ ⁠ I can’t think of any single thing a man does in his life that physically equates to what I saw Audrey do. ⁠ ⁠ For me – any marathon or endurance event I’ve ever raced is essentially a wander to the kitchen compared to what I saw Audrey do on Friday. ⁠ ⁠ Wolfie’s big sister Georgia was in the room with us via the most perfect playlist that she made especially for the occasion – and this boy came into the world to the sounds of Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce and Khalid. ⁠ ⁠ Less than an hour after he was born, Wolfie met G for real – and she’s the best big sister he could have ever hoped for. ⁠ ⁠ We are in love and drowning in gratitude, oxytocin and new baby smell. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

But not to worry, Osher says the producers still managed to make the final episode work.

“Everyone banded together and figured out a way to make the show work without me being there for the final moments,” said Osher.

While it simply won’t be the same without Osher, we’re still excited for The Bachelorette finale which airs this Thursday at 7.30pm on Channel 10.

2. “You don’t have a choice.” The Veronicas’ Jess and Lisa on how they ended their public feud.

Like all sisters, Jess and Lisa Origliasso are no strangers to fighting. But back in 2017, they took it to a whole new level when they entered a very public feud.

It was a confusing time for fans. And it wasn’t until earlier this year that we learned their tension was apparently, in part, due to Jess’ relationship with her now ex-girlfriend Ruby Rose.

But now, Jess and Lisa have shared how they managed to resolve their differences, ahead of the premiere of their new show The Veronicas: Blood Is for Life. 

And the answer is actually quite simple.

"Because we're family," Lisa told The Sydney Morning Herald.

"Because we're Italian family!" added Jess. "You don't have a choice. It's ride or die. This show is literally called Blood Is for Life. You do not get to leave the coven, and you will not bring shame on the family. There is nothing that can't be resolved over good, homemade pasta."

Yep, pasta is unequivocally the answer to all of life's problems.

Jess said their new show will go into more detail about how the pair resolved the tension and found their way back together.

Love Island Australia's latest evictee Adam Farrugia has shared some insider information about what it's like doing the deed in the Love Island villa.

By "insider information", we mean one sentence when asked to describe how he found sleeping in a room while multiple people were boning.

In a post-elimination interview, the reality TV star said "no one really reacts" when sexy sounds start coming from various corners of the bedroom the contestants share.

"You’re in a room with six couples... if people are going to get down to it then, you know, they’re going to do it," he said.

Well, there you have it. Sounds like an ideal situation, doesn't it?

4. It turns out Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig wasn't a fan of the movie's infamous food poisoning scene.

If you've watched the movie Bridesmaids, you will know exactly what we're on about when we bring up the infamous 'food poisoning scene'. (And if you haven't watched it... why??)

The image of Melissa McCarthy having diarrhoea in the sink of the bridal shop's bathroom after eating some dodgy Brazilian barbecue will never not be funny, but according the the film's director Paul Feig, the writer and star of the movie Kristen Wiig was never really the scene's biggest fan.

“[Kristen] was nervous about it at first because here’s [producer] Judd Apatow and I, two guys, going, ‘No, it would be really funny if you were all throwing up’. But she embraced it,” Feig told news.com.au.

“She was the one standing there with this little can of Evian water spray and she would do one line and spray her face and do another line and spray her face. so it just gets sweatier and sweatier. She was all in, and what a genius she is."

Previously, Wiig elaborated on the Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast about why she didn't really rate the scene.

"That scene was not our idea and it was not in the original script and we didn’t love it," she said of her and co-writer Annie Mumolo's reaction to the scene.

"Annie and I were like, ‘We will write the version that we think is funny and that we feel comfortable with’. We didn’t want to see people shi**ing and puking."

5. 'We have a really close relationship.' Katie Holmes on her bond with her daughter Suri.

When Suri Cruise was born on April 18, 2006, she quickly became one of the world’s most famous celebrity babies.

Her parents, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, were the ‘super couple’ of the noughties.

Everywhere they went, the paparazzi followed and almost every photo that emerged of the couple featured baby Suri, so often being carried by her father.

Now, seven years on from Tom and Katie’s highly-publicised divorce in 2012, the world doesn’t see much of Suri Cruise anymore.

On Instagram, Katie shares rare photos of her daughter, who is now 13 years old.

“No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself,” the actress captioned this post from February.
