Tracee Ellis Ross rubbishes 'insane' idea she only packs two pairs of underwear on her travels
The 52-year-old actress sparked debate online after comments at the Travel + Leisure World Summit last week when she opened up about how much she packs for her travels.
Clarifying her comments on the TODAY show, she told Savannah Guthrie: "What I said was 'in my carry on.' What I said was in my carry on I usually bring two pairs of day undies, two pairs of sleeping undies, a nightie, a flip flop — depending on what time of year it is — a dress that can turn into night or day."
Tracee insisted she has a travel motto of "BIA - bring it all", and she checks a "minimum of four bags" when she's getting on a plane.
She added: "I pack for beauty and disaster."
The star also admitted she likes to swap her underpants "many times a day".
She said: "And let me also be clear, I'm a person — because I did a hand washing video and I put it on TikTok — that I'm a person who changes my undies many times a day.
"This is a ridiculous conversation, people!'
However, Tracee insisted she is able to laugh off the idea of being misquoted, especially for such a "dumb topic".
She said: "People hear what they want to hear. It's a dumb topic. There's so many things going on. It's hilarious."
She did offer some advice for people on their travels, and reiterates the benefits of sink washing your undergarments.
She explained: "There's certain delicates, you just wash them in your sink. I don't really want anyone else touching my undies.'
The Black-ish star previously admitted she has to pack sensibly when it comes to longer trips.
She told T+L's editor-in-chief Jacqui Gifford: "If I'm gone for a month on this trip, you can't pack a month's worth of underwear.
'How do you do that? They take up a lot of space.'

Moby teams-up with Russian teen star for new single
Moby relished the experience of collaborating across timezones with Øneheart. The 59-year-old star joined forces with Øneheart, one of the Russian producers behind Snowfall, the TikTok hit, to record lagrange point, and Moby has admitted to loving the experience of working across borders and timezones with the young star. He said: "One of my favourite things about collaborating with Øneheart was the fact that as i was working on lagrange point as the sun was setting in Los Angeles, Dmitry was working on it as the sun was rising where he lived in Russia." Moby - whose real name is Richard Hall - observed that he worked on the track while enjoying the "perfect backdrop" in Los Angeles. The music star explained: "The fact that this quiet, spacious music was travelling instantaneously through 12 timezones and thousands and thousands of empty miles of air and space somehow created the perfect backdrop for the collaboration." lagrange point is the lead single for the album Samsara Passengers, which is a collaboration between Øneheart, Dean Korso and Leadwave - Øneheart's dad - along with guest artists. Moby has already sold more than 20 million records in his career and is credited with helping to bring dance music to a mainstream audience in the 90s. However, he acknowledged earlier this year that fame and fortune are "two of the most destructive forces on the planet". Speaking from his home in Los Angeles, Moby told Sky News: "I think fame and fortune are, probably, empirically two of the most destructive forces on the planet. I mean, if fame and fortune fixed things, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse would still be making records. "I guess it's a very easy system to buy into, especially in a place like... in New York, in Los Angeles, in these big cities that are driven by ostentation and consumption and the need for external validation. It's hard to resist those temptations. But then ... you look at the consequences of that. "I'd rather try and live a rational life and not necessarily let other people's concerns dictate what my concerns should be."

Popular Perth ribs joint launches viral Dubai choc desserts
A Perth restaurant, known for its American-style barbecue ribs, is causing a stir among the food community following the launch of its viral Dubai chocolate-inspired desserts. The head chef at Ribs Lane was inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate taking social media feeds by storm to create rich, over-the-top treats for dessert lovers wanting in on the global obsession. The Dubai chocolate sweet treat craze recently popped off on TikTok thanks to influencers promoting Dubai chocolate — a chocolate bar containing a filling made with kadayif and pistachio — created by Emirati Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai. Head chef Nicka Isabella said the team saw the trend explode overseas and wanted to create something that would give Perth a taste of the hype. 'It's not just about going viral. These desserts taste as good as they look. Perth deserves its own over-the-top dessert experience, and this is it,' she said. The desserts are unapologetically extra. Credit: Jay Turks Each dessert features house-made elements and Ribs Lane's signature drizzle, crafted to mimic the iconic Dubai-style presentations but with a Ribs Lane twist. 'These desserts are unapologetically extra and that's exactly what we wanted,' Nicka said. 'We've developed our own special recipe and flavour profile that's got people returning again and again. They are indulgent, fun, and impossible to ignore - both on the table and on social media.' People with a sweet tooth can indulge in viral Dubai chocolate loukamades ($17), waffles ($17) and cups ($15). The Ribs Lane Subiaco location will also offer a dessert pizza ($23).

‘Beaut little hub': This rebadged suburban spot crackles with community spirit
Berkelo might be the Northern Beaches' most-loved artisan bakery. Eadie founded the business in 2016 and, after expanding from Brookvale to open stores in Mosman and Manly, Berkelo attracted the attention of a bigger sourdough fish, and Sonoma acquired the bakery brand a few months ago. Eadie, with his wife, Claudia, wanted to spend more time at the Mona Vale Road restaurant. Another visit seemed like the prudent thing to do after they developed the menu with chef Nishant Pai. If you were familiar with Berkelo Kitchen but haven't been to McCarrs, I can tell you that dinner is still five Mediterranean-ish entrees and six-or-so mains, plus a few weekly specials and four pizzas. You can still order that massive CopperTree Farms steak. On a cold Saturday evening the other week, a group of mates had the right idea: sitting around an outdoor fire and sharing slices topped with pepperoni, honey and chilli. They were also enjoying a zucchini pizza similar to the one I'd had back in the summer. Framed by gum trees, a car park and native shrubs, the outdoor area doubles as a cafe by day, with a general store stocking cakes, sandwiches, pastries, flowers, pantry staples and bread. You might use it as a base camp for Ku-ring-gai National Park, ordering a coffee and a macadamia brownie before hiking the Wallaroo walking track. Tomorrow, there'll be a 'winter feast' with markets, live music, mulled wine and roast porchetta. Nice one. Meanwhile, the restaurant's on track to become something special; the service just needs a little tightening. Floor staff are friendly, but finished plates are best left on the table while other people are still eating. 'We're saving room for cake' is code for 'Can you bring a dessert menu?', not 'Please disappear for 10 minutes and return only to ask if we'd like the bill'. When dessert does arrive, it's stewed Crimson Snow apples under a puffy golden cloud of buttermilk shortcake. Is that fire still going? Is there whisky? (Yes.) Before that, fish of the day (respectfully pan-fried snapper fillet) comes with a balanced beurre blanc spruced up with dill oil. A 300g steak thumping with veal jus is sparked by three types of pepper (green, black and Tasmanian mountain), while a fennel and cos salad shines with the right amount of mustard vinaigrette.
