From Married At First stars to the cast of Real Housewives of Sydney : All the famous faces brutally snubbed from the 2025 Logie Awards
With beloved rocker Jimmy Barnes set to take the stage at The Star Sydney on August 3, and Sam Pang hosting the event for the third time, the annual celebration has been the talk of the town.
However, while tongues have been wagging about the stacked guest list, they've also been noting the glaring absences, with a slew of stars from Australia's favourite shows set to miss the red carpet event next week.
Some of the biggest names to not to make the guest list include MasterChef 2024 runner-up Josh 'Pezza' Perry, The Block's Ricky Recard and the whole of the Married At First Sight cast.
Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle about the brutal cast snub, MAFS bride Jamie Marinos revealed she had long doubted that she and her co-stars would receive an invite to the Logies.

'To be honest, I felt like there was all this talk that we were gonna get invited, but I just didn't trust it, so I actually booked a trip to Europe and I'm doing my own kind of publicity tour in London,' she said.
'None of us were bloody invited,' she revealed, adding: 'It's a shame because I know the rest of the cast probably would have been looking forward to it too. I would have loved to have gone to the Logies with everyone.'
Despite the cast being left off the invite list, love experts John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla will be in attendance to represent the popular show.
However, MAFS isn't the only program that has seen cast members snubbed while their judges make the cut.
The Block's Scott Cam and Shelley Craft received a Logies invite, however the teams from last year's 20th season - including fan-favourite Ricky Recard - did not.
Similarly, Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge of My Kitchen Rules will be in attendance, but the teams from the 2024 season - including champion Simone Preste - are understood to be missing it.
Despite Real Housewives of Sydney being nominated for the first time at the Logies, none of the show's stars were invited to the glitzy event.
Victoria Montano said she was under 'no misconceptions' over whether production would prioritise themselves for a seat at the ceremony, despite the Housewives opening up their lives for public consumption'.
MasterChef Australia judges Sofia Levin and Poh Ling will be at the Logies, with Poh up for the most coveted award of the night, The Gold Logie.
However, 2024 runner-up Josh Perry revealed that he didn't receive an invite, despite first and second place winners attending the ceremony in the past.
It is not yet known if Farmer Wants A Wife host Natalie Gruzlewski and Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia will be at the ceremony, but it's highly unlikely considering Natalie's 10 year red carpet hiatus and Jonathan's recent axing by Channel 10.
As for Australian Idol, this year's winner 19-year-old Marshall Hamburger will be in attendance, as will host Ricki-Lee Coulter, who is up for the Most Popular Presenter award, but it is not known if other contestants received an invitation.
The Logie nominations were officially announced in June at the Sydney Opera House, seeing a slew of Aussie favourites up for big awards in television.
As for fans watching at home, voting is now open and will remain so until 7pm on Friday, August 1.

Footy supercoach Wayne Bennett declares war on radio stars over disgraceful jokes about his ex-wife and the woman he left her for
NRL supercoach Wayne Bennett is at war with Triple M in Brisbane following a highly offensive skit where his split with ex–wife Trish and the breast size of the woman he left her for were featured in a mock interview. While the breakfast show featuring hosts Dan Anstey, Margaux Parker and Greg Martin issued an on–air apology, it appears the damage is done, with Bennett banning Triple M indefinitely. It is also understood Parker – the wife of Broncos great Corey – also phoned Bennett to apologise personally. Triple M are the NRL's broadcast rights holders, but any interview with the South Sydney coach is now off the table. In the astonishing mock interview, Martin and Margaux fired a series of 'questions' at Bennett, with his answer always the same – 'I knew someone would ask that question'. They used a recording of Bennett giving that response to a journalist on July 26 when he was asked if he feels the Rabbitohs are wooden–spoon candidates following their defeat against Cronulla. Some of the 'questions' listeners heard included: why he dropped NRL Immortal Wally Lewis from the Broncos in the early 1990s, why his 42–year marriage with Trish ended, if Bennett believes he resembles famed actor Clint Eastwood, and, inexplicably, how big are his current partner Dale Cage's breasts – which was posed by Parker. Bennett confirmed to News Corp he was aware of the offensive remarks about his ex–wife and current partner. 'That's personal stuff, so I'm not going to go into that,' he said. 'You talk to them (Triple M). If they want to say something about their behaviour, you talk to them, but I'm not saying anything more.' Bennett's partner Cage heard the segment live this week and called Triple M management to lodge an official complaint, according to Code Sports. South Sydney CEO Blake Solly said it was a 'private matter for Wayne to deal with' before adding he 'has the club's total support'. Bennett met Cage in 2013 while he was coaching the Newcastle Knights and she was working with club doctor Neil Halpin. He confirmed the relationship began while he was still married in the biography The Wolf You Feed by journalist Andrew Webster. At the time, Bennett was regarded as a family man known to glowingly praise his longstanding wife Trish. She was the primary carer of their two adult disabled children back in Brisbane while he spent six years coaching 1076km away in Wollongong and later Newcastle, with Trish's blessing. 'Trish and the family didn't want to see me staying at home and not being happy and not being challenged. Like myself, they would naturally prefer me to be at home, but they were happy for me to go (to the Dragons and Newcastle) because they knew it's what I wanted to do,' Bennett recalled in 2014. 'We just got on with life as a family and as a unit we have made it work.' The stoush with Triple M comes after former Rabbitohs halfback Adam Reynolds recently revealed a heart–to–heart with Bennett in 2020 helped save his marriage. 'It was a really tough part of my life. He [Bennett] is very good at reading the room,' the Broncos playmaker and father of four recalled on the Inside Ball podcast. 'I wasn't giving out too much and he grabbed me aside one day (at Rabbitohs training) and said: 'What's up?' 'I opened up to Wayne and he then regularly checked in with me, which was good. 'It was hard to navigate through that time and if I didn't have that guidance from Wayne, I don't know where I would have been.'

Bring Her Back review – Philippou brothers bring all manner of scares to creepy custody battle
Are Danny and Michael Philippou the new kings of horror? Well, they may be the new princes or the new marquesses of horror anyway; I can't think of anyone who outranks them. The Philippou brothers grabbed audiences by the throat with their debut Talk to Me, and now they're back with a macabre new adventure set on their home turf of suburban Adelaide in South Australia. It takes place in a bizarre house with a triangular empty swimming pool destined to be filled with rainwater as the film's bad weather continues into the horrible finale. Bring Her Back gives a great villainous role to Sally Hawkins and a terrifically smart debut for non-professional teen Sora Wong. It's a horror preying with hideous expertise on our protective instincts towards the vulnerable, our fear of our own vulnerability, the shame and guilt of abuse, and survivors' wretched sense of loyalty to their abusers. And the theme of blindness and visual impairment might even call to mind the unreconstructed attitudes of movies such as Wait Until Dark and Don't Look Now. Andy (Billy Barratt) and his partially sighted stepsister Piper (Wong) are orphaned when their cruel widower father dies of some kind of seizure in the shower. They are fostered by an odd woman called Laura, played by Hawkins, who is grieving the loss of her own (blind) daughter and already looking after a disturbed boy called Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips). She is creepily matey, always yelping and chirruping with forced laughter and misjudged jokes, a mask of mumsiness which slips when Andy reveals that on his 18th birthday he intends to apply for parental custody of Piper and they will move away. But his ability to do this will depend on a reference from Laura, who begins a campaign to undermine him and subtly terrorise Piper. In private, she likes to watch a certain VHS videotape – a relic whose antique oddity is endowed with something uncanny – which she has perhaps purchased from the dark web; a tape showing a group of Russian-speakers who have unusual ideas about how to deal with grief and loss … ideas that Laura wants to put into practice. The Philippou brothers have a diabolical talent, not just for the jump scare but the slo-mo cringe-scare, the squirm-scare and the writhe-in-your-seat scare. It is brought to the fore in a grisly scene in which Laura insists on coming to the funeral of Piper and Andy's father and impresses on Andy the need to carry out certain healing traditions and observances towards the dead of which he was (understandably) unaware. The whole thing is underscored by barnstorming performances from Wong and Hawkins. Bring Her Back is in UK and Irish cinemas from 1 August.

Rose Byrne reveals the desperate lengths she went to for Hollywood fame
Rose Byrne might be a Hollywood A-lister these days, but that certainly hasn't always been the case. The Australian actress, 46, has revealed the 'desperate' lengths she went to in order to achieve fame in Tinsel Town. Rose appeared on Nova's Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie Show on Thursday alongside her Platonic co-star Seth Rogen, to chat about the anticipated new season of the hit Apple TV+ series. It wasn't long before the conversation turned to some of the Bridesmaids star's earliest attempts at stardom. Rose admitted that she wasn't shy about trying her luck in all manner of TV fare before nabbing her first small-screen role. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Did you ever try out for Neighbours or Home and Away when you were younger?' host Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald asked the actress. 'Oh yeah, I did an ill-fated soap called Echo Point that I'm sure you're familiar with - with some wonderful actors actually, in all seriousness, that was not....' she said before trailing off. Seth then diplomatically interjected with: 'It did not have the legs.' Continuing, Rose admitted that she did, indeed, audition for both iconic soaps, and was rejected. 'Oh yeah, I auditioned for Neighbours and Home and Away... all of them,' she said. Billed as a Home and Away 'killer', Echo Point was a short-lived soap that aired on Network Ten from June to December 1995. Rose starred as 'good girl' Belinda O'Connor in the soap, alongside the likes of Tom Long, Jessica Napier, Martin Henderson and Diarmid Heidenreich. Originally airing at 7pm to combat the iconic Seven soap, Echo Point failed to resonate with audiences, finishing its one-season run in the 11.30pm graveyard slot Elsewhere in the chat, Rose admitted to sustaining a very surprising injury while in Melbourne. 'I just bent and grabbed my bag off the floor the other day in Melbourne and I got a lumbar facet sprain and I couldn't move for two days,' Rose admitted. When co-host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli asked the star how she got off the ground, Rose replied: 'Barely. 'I was shuffled back to my room and lay in bed for two days.' Wanting to one-up his co-star, Seth also admitted to a recent malady while in the shower. 'I hurt my neck really badly shampooing my head,' he said. 'I was getting too vigorous a lather going and I hurt my neck. It hurt for two weeks.' It comes after it was announced that Rose's breakthrough 1999 Australian movie Two Hands is set to receive a sequel 25 years later. The film starred a 19-year-old Heath and Rose in a hilarious and confronting gangster story which has developed a cult following over the years. It was written and directed by Aussie filmmaker Gregor Jordan, who recently told The Sydney Morning Herald he had finished writing a sequel. 'We have a script that I think is really good. It brings it into the modern day,' Jordan began. 'If we'd tried to do a sequel five years later, it probably wouldn't have worked, but 25 years later is the right time.'
