It was 6.30am when I got a message that Shane Warne had passed away. “What?” I said as I sat up in bed and googled his name, thinking there’s absolutely no way this could be true. Sadly, it was. As we put together our eight-page special (p14) to pay tribute to the one and only King of Spin, it became abundantly clear just why people around the world fell in love with the cricketing great, both on and off the pitch. Warnie was charming, cheeky and unapologetically himself. He was a “dorky dad” who loved his kids unconditionally. He was quintessentially Australian and proud of it! Our thoughts are with Shane’s family and friends during this difficult time. And while the country mourns the loss of a legend and parts…

Brad Pitt didn’t hesitate to meet up with his ex-wife-turned-business partner Jennifer Aniston when the two were in Paris earlier this month and friends say the “riotous lunch turned into dinner”. The 58-year-old The Lost City star made the most of Jen’s presence in the City of Love, where she’s filming scenes for Murder Mystery 2. “Jen and Brad are a creative team, always were,” says a friend. “It’s been liberating teaming up again on new movie projects so it’s no surprise that having lunch did carry on into the evening. Brad thinks Jen’s a genius but in turn she loves how his input adds testosterone to her writing.” Last September, Jen, 53, finally accepted Brad’s offer to rejoin Plan B, the production company they created in 2001, a year…
Dr Phil’s nice-guy image has taken a beating, after several former staff members accused the 71-year-old talk show host of running a toxic workplace behind the scenes. “Phil’s staff read reports on how Ellen DeGeneres fostered a horrible work environment, but for most of them it sounded like a walk in the park compared to their jobs,” reveals a source. “Phil lives and dies by his ratings and he believes his iron-fist style is the only thing that’s made the show successful.” But it appears it’s come at the cost of his staff’s wellbeing. “Even when I quit, I had to go into therapy, which is crazy because you’re working for a therapist,” revealed one former employee. “Everyone was pretty miserable. You would walk into the building and there was…
Any hopes Adele had of branching out into the big screen may have been dashed by her recent diva antics, Woman’s Day hears. Sources say the singer’s rumoured bad behaviour surrounding her scrapped Las Vegas residency has hit a bad note with Tinseltown bosses. “She’s got her handlers working overtime searching for top-notch scripts, but they’re coming up short,” reveals an insider. “Is this somebody who producers want to bet $50 or $80 million on and build a whole film around? Not likely.” While sources say the 33-year-old star refuses to give up her dream, movie industry insiders aren’t convinced she’s got what it takes. “To movie producers, she’s still a soundtrack singer, not the main attraction, and there’s a growing view her window is closing fast,” says the insiders.…
Chris Hemsworth was a whole world away from his family as catastrophic floods tore through the NSW region where they live last week – and the stress was plainly etched on his face. The actor, 38, was spotted making a tense phone call in St Moritz, Switzerland, where he was trying to enjoy some downtime amid filming Extraction 2 in Europe. Across the other side of the world in Byron Bay, his wife, actress Elsa Pataky, and his three kids, India, nine, and twins Tristan and Sasha, who turn eight this week, were trapped by the terrifying floods. According to reports, the entrance to their $30 million home was “completely flooded”, and Elsa was without phone reception. “Chris was stressed out of his mind trying to reach her,” says a…
