Drew Barrymore strips to swimsuit during yacht day in France
Drew Barrymore is the latest A-list star to be spotted enjoying a Euro Summer.
It feels like every celebrity in the world is in Europe right now, with the Charlie's Angels actress joining a star-studded list of people chasing the sun.
Barrymore, 50, looked incredible on a yacht during her family holiday to St-Tropez, in the south of France, where she was seen sporting a classic black one-piece.

It comes after the star - who shot to fame as a child actor in Steven Spielberg's 1982 blockbuster E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial – recently opened up about 'ageing gracefully'.
Speaking on her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, back in April, Barrymore answered a fan question asking what her 'secret' to looking youthful was.
'I haven't done anything [cosmetic work], and I want to try and stay that way,' Barrymore said.
'I see a lot of turkey neck, or I have a lot of other times where I'm like, 'Oh, wow! Wow, we're there now.'
'I want to tell myself not to be so mean to myself. How many beautiful moments do we even get the privilege of seeing our reflection and that person looking back at us is us?
'So the kinder, more patient, more resilient, more loving, embracing, less dismissive that we can be, the better it is for our mental game and spiritual game, which affects the face.'

Barrymore stressed she wasn't judging anyone for having work done to maintain a youthful appearance, adding it was important 'not to judge' others.
'A smile is better than any lipstick you'll buy, and internal dialogue that isn't so eviscerating of ourselves and so quick to catch a flaw,' she continued.
'Who says that's the flaw?'
'By the way, that might be someone else's favourite thing about you. It isn't how you look. It's how you feel.'

This year's Logie Awards Hall of Fame winner announced
Don't miss out on the headlines from Logies. Followed categories will be added to My News. The Logies are almost upon us, with organisers announcing the winner of the coveted Hall of Fame award ahead of this Sunday's ceremony. It's been revealed Magda Szubanski AO will be bestowed with the honour, making her just the fifth female recipient since the first ever awards back in 1984. Szubanski, 64, who has enjoyed a stellar four-decade showbiz career, will be presented with the award onstage at The Star in Sydney. The comedic entertainer, who was born in England but raised in Melbourne, first hit our screens in the '80s on sketch shows including The D-Generation, Fast Forward and Full Frontal, while also carving a career in film with roles in 1995's Babe and its subsequent sequel. Magda Szubanski AO is the 2025 Logies Hall of Fame inductee. Picture:But she's perhaps best known for her star turn in the 2000s comedy Kath & Kim, playing the loveable Sharon Strzelecki – a character previously debuted in 1994's Big Girl's Blouse with Gina Riley and Jane Turner. 'With a career spanning nearly four decades, the much-loved Magda Szubanski has helped define Australian comedy, creating some of the country's most beloved and enduring characters,' a statement from Logies organisers read. 'The TV WEEK Logie Award Hall of Fame recognises outstanding and continued contribution and enrichment to Australian television culture by an individual, a group of individuals, or a program. 'Magda's contribution to comedy, literature, activism, and Australia's cultural identity is profound and influential. This induction into the TV WEEK Logie Awards Hall of Fame celebrates not only a remarkable television career but also a lifetime of shaping hearts, headlines, and history, and giving audiences the gift of huge laughs.' Gina Riley, Jane Turner and Magda Szubanski first debuted their Kath & Kim characters in 'Big Girl's Blouse' in the '90s. Magda's Sharon Strzelecki remains one of the most prominent characters in Aussie pop culture. Szubanski was previously bestowed with an Order of Australia (AO) in 2019 'for distinguished service to the performing arts as an actor, comedian and writer, and as a campaigner for marriage equality.' The recognition comes amid a devastating time in Szubanski's personal life, with the star announcing her stage four cancer diagnosis in May. The beloved entertainer told fans in a social media post she was battling Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a rare and fast-moving blood cancer. Szubanski confirmed she had begun 'the Nordic protocol' … 'one of the best treatments available' for the disease that was randomly picked up during a recent breast screen. 'Hello, my lovelies. The head is shaved in anticipation of it all falling out in a couple of weeks,' she said at the time. 'I have just been diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive lymphoma. 'It is one of the nasty ones unfortunately. 'The good thing is I'm surrounded by beautiful friends and family and an incredible medical support team. Honestly we have the best in the world here in Australia. 'It's pretty confronting. It is a full on one. But new treatments keep coming down the pipeline all the time … I've just got to (laughs). 'What do you? What are you gonna do?' The much-loved Aussie entertainer will be honoured at Sunday's Logies. Picture: LisaDuring the past decade, Szubanksi has increasingly opened up about her private battles. In her 2015 memoir Reckoning, Szubanski documented her complicated relationship with food and her sexuality, something she had guarded for decades before coming out in February 2012. She later admitted it was one of the scariest things she'd done in her life. In her social post this year, Szubanski signed off to her legion of fans with a request: 'If you do see me out and about – don't hug me, kiss me or breathe anywhere near me! Wave enthusiastically from a safe distance and know I love you madly.' The Logies will air Sunday night on Channel 7. Originally published as This year's Logie Awards Hall of Fame winner announced

Paris's Notre-Dame Cathedral wasn't just restored after the fire, it was reborn
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. Sitting at the rooftop bar of the Hôtel Dame des Arts above the beating heart of Paris's Latin Quarter, I admire the unobstructed 360-degree views of the city. The Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides' gilded golden dome, too many rooftops and tucked-away balconies to count, and nearby the soaring medieval beauty of the city's Gothic wonder, Notre-Dame Cathedral. This repository of French culture dating back to the 12th century has seen everything from the coronation of Napoleon to the funerals of presidents. On one night in 2019, however, the view would have been vastly different. It would have been horrific. On April 15, around 6.30pm, a fire started in Notre-Dame's roof, destroying much of its 13th-century oak ceiling, its upper walls, and its symbolic crown, a glorious lead-lined 19th-century timber spire. Flames, fed by the forest of timbers in its ceilings, spread toxic lead and dust across a city stunned into shock and disbelief. The process to restore it, at a cost of €700 million ($1.25bn), befits its monumental status. Over 1000 oak trees from almost 200 public and private forests went through 35 sawmills on their way to the French capital. More than 2000 artisans, including carpenters and stonemasons, glassmakers and scaffolders, painters and sculptors and iron forgers joined to help it rise from the ashes, and Notre-Dame reopened to the public on December 7, 2024. I last visited Notre-Dame in 2010. Back then its interior seemed to me a shadowy realm, a bleak-looking sanctuary, weathered by centuries of neglect. Bacteria and an accumulation of grime and pollution had infiltrated its porous, Lutetian limestone. The passing of time had turned it black. The interior isn't just renewed, it shines. After joining a short but growing queue at 7.45am opening time, what I see when I enter this time, armed only with that memory of a somewhat faded masterpiece, stops me in my tracks. The interior isn't just renewed, it shines. Everything – pillars and pointed arches, its ribbed vaulted ceilings and its statuary and every carving both great and small – seems alive. Though some of its stained glasses have been replaced, most survived the fire and have been cleaned and are alive with colour. Lasers were used to vaporise eight centuries of grime from carvings and hard-to-get-at niches. Calcium carbonate-based abrasives were applied under low pressure to its broader surfaces such as pillars and walls, and its stonework is now without blemish. You can take a guided tour of the renewed cathedral, but I prefer instead to wander on my own and contemplate this enduring testament to the ingenuity of an army of dedicated artisans, and of a people of indomitable faith. Entry to Notre-Dame is always free. How much does admission cost at Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris Entry to Notre-Dame is always free. It's open from 7.45am-7pm Monday to Friday, and 8.15am-7.30pm on weekends. A range of paid guided tours is also available. Best place to stay in Paris Hôtel Dame des Arts is close to the cathedral.

Argue starred in a slew of Aussie films including Gallipoli, Hercules Returns and Razorback. He quietly created a GoFundMe page in January to assist with his health issues, hoping to raise funds to purchase a mobility scooter. 'Due to some health issues including cancer my circulation is poor my legs are in constant pain with cramping and walking has become increasingly difficult,' Argue wrote.

'Sincerely David Argue (Icon, Legend, Enemy to himself and Burden to his friends!)' David Argue, the Australian actor, has died aged 65. Picture: Umbrella Entertainment Australian film distribution company Umbrella Entertainment paid tribute to Argue on its Instagram account, describing him as a 'comedic genius.' 'David was an actor who forced the audience to react. His presence on screen was never stale, he creatively sparred with his co-stars in evocative ways that made them rise to the occasion, meeting his mad-hatter charisma head-on,' the statement read. 'Umbrella have been honoured to celebrate David, restoring and releasing several of his films from Razorback to Hercules Returns, BMX Bandits, Midnite Spares, and more.'

Meanwhile, The Victorian Actors Benevolent Trust released a statement saying, 'David was a remarkably talented and much-loved actor.' It continued, 'He had the rare gift of making any character he played utterly unique and totally believable. In recent years, as David's health declined, the VABT was able to provide much needed assistance and emotional support. 'In return, David had no hesitation in championing our work, most recently with a deeply personal and humorous reflection at our Trivia Fundraiser. We have lost a formidable talent and a dear friend. Vale David RIP.' Argue has lived his life primarily out of the spotlight over the past few years, with his final TV credit in a 1997 episode of Water Rats, while his last movie was 2021's Astro Loco.
