'Nepo baby' Billi FitzSimons follows in her mother Lisa Wilkinson's footsteps and lands a spot on breakfast TV
Billi FitzSimons is continuing to follow in her mother Lisa Wilkinson 's footsteps. The 25-year-old has already began to chart a similar course to parents Lisa, 65, and Peter FitzSimons, 63, in the world of print journalism and now, like her mother, has dipped her toe into the waters of breakfast television. In her capacity as editor-in-chief of online publication The Daily Aus, Billi appeared on ABC News Breakfast on Tuesday morning. She was tasked with providing a round-up of the morning's headlines - a job she handled with aplomb. Billi spoke about the protests currently raging in Los Angeles over president Donald Trump's immigration laws. 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. The 25-year-old has already began to chart a similar course to parents Lisa, 65, and Peter FitzSimons , 63, in the world of print journalism and now, like her mother, has dipped her toe into the waters of breakfast television She also spoke about the lawsuits brought by Justin Baldoni against Blake Lively and the New York Times being dismissed overnight. Showing no nervousness over her debut national television appearance, Billi even had a 'fun fact' to offer viewers about the news. 'The fun fact of the day is that the New York Times has not lost a defamation lawsuit in more than 50 years, which for a media organisation of that size, is quite extraordinary,' she said. Billi rounded out her appearance with news that Aussie actress Sarah Snook won the best performance by a leading actress Tony for her turn in A Picture of Dorian Gray. 'Does this mean that she could be on track for an EGOT?' Billi opined. 'She has won an Emmy now the Tony. Could she also win a Grammy and an Oscar to get that coveted final big award? I mean, it's not one award - it's four awards but that status, I guess.' Billi's foray into breakfast television comes after she was promoted to editor-in-chief of The Daily Aus in 2024. 'I'm looking forward to growing our diverse content offerings, including podcasting, polling, video and newsletters,' she said when she announced her new role. Her mother got Billi her first job as a writer on news website Mamamia when she was still at university by calling in a favour with her old protégé Mia Freedman 'We have big plans this year, and I can't wait for you to see what we have in store.' The Daily Aus is a social media-based news aggregator with over 600,000 followers on Instagram. It targets Gen Z and Millennials with easy-to-digest news stories and explainer articles. 'RAHHH!', her father Peter FitzSimons - the former rugby international turned writer - posted in response to the news. Billi's mother started editing women's magazine Dolly at the age of 21, where she reportedly tripled the circulation. After this impressive feat, she was personally approached by billionaire news magnate Kerry Packer to head up women's lifestyle magazine, Cleo. Lisa went on to forge a successful career in television journalism, hosting the Today show and later becoming a panellist on The Project. However, her career has stalled amidst the ongoing fallout of her controversial interview with former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins, and has not been seen on TV in over a year. Her mother got Billi her first job as a writer on news website Mamamia when she was still at university by calling in a favour with her old protégé Mia Freedman. She worked for Mamamia throughout university before landing a job as a political writer at the Daily Aus straight after graduating. She gained a Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications), Government and International Relations, Digital Cultures from the University of Sydney in 2019. While she's reaching the heights of Australian media, Billi started her working life spent her teenage years working in fast food before following in the footsteps of her successful parents. Back in 2023, her author father Peter revealed that Billi worked at Domino's Pizza during her teenage years. In response to a tweet, Peter, an author and journalist with The Sydney Morning Herald, revealed his daughter's first job. 'Billi had a job after school taking orders at Dominos Pizza for about four years from 14 or so, so she took pocket money as a bonus!' he said.

Christian Slater's daughters make a rare appearance as they join him at Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony
Christian Slater's daughters made a rare appearance as they joined him in Hollywood to support him at his Walk of Fame ceremony. The 55-year-old actor was honored with a star on Hollywood Boulevard and had his wife Brittany Lopez as well as his daughters by his side for the special occasion. He was also joined by Sarah Michelle Gellar, his co-star in the Dexter: Original Sin spinoff, as well as his Mr. Robot castmate Carly Chaikin for the event. The Blink Twice star shares two children, daughter Lena and a baby boy who will celebrate his first birthday in July, with his wife, 35. He also shares two adult children, son Jaden, 25, and daughter Eliana, 23, with his ex-wife Ryan Haddon. His daughters Eliana and Lena were at his side when his star was unveiled and posed for sweet family photos together. While celebrating the major milestone, he gushed about his family in his acceptance speech. 'I have amazing and wonderful children. I can't imagine my life without them. They are the greatest,' he said. He gushed about his wife and having his kids' support. 'Having a star on Hollywood Boulevard is great, but none of this would have been possible without my family and the love I have today.' He previously spoke about the full circle moment since he used to skate on Hollywood Boulevard as a teenager. When he was age 16, he trained with professional skateboarder Stacy Peralta for the 1989 Gleaming the Cube. It was the beginning of his career when Peralta shared advice he still remembers today. 'He told me the smoothest area to learn to skateboard is the Walk of Fame,' he said. 'There's not a lot of cracks or breaks between the cement because they're always pouring it in for ceremonies. It's one nice, even, flowy ride.' When Variety suggested he could make his grand arrival at the ceremony on a skateboard, he quipped: 'I'm out of practice, but maybe I could try and gleam my way into the ceremony.' Back in August 2024, he spoke to People about experiencing fatherhood again at this stage in his life. Just before he welcomed his youngest child last year, he reflected on raising young children in his 50s. 'The whole thing is different. I'm certainly a lot more present and I just love it,' he said. 'I think I was more scared of it the first go around and a little bit more confused, and I was very distracted,' he continued. 'And now, it's all I really think about, and all I really care about, and all I want to be around. I'm happy to be in that situation.' Slater rose to fame in cult classic films like Heathers and Pump Up the Volume. He also starred in box office hits such as Interview With the Vampire and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves that made him a silver screen star. In his early career, he was a teen heartthrob and he went on to become a leading man after starring in True Romance and Untamed Heart.

Delta Goodrem hits back after US actor Marlon Wayans 'completely humiliated' her at Beyoncé concert
Delta Goodrem has revisited her infamous 'concert scandal' where she was brutally shamed for her dancing abilities. In 2014, American actor Marlon Wayans, 52, was standing next to the Born to Try singer, 40, at a Beyoncé concert in Los Angeles and shared a photo of her dancing to social media. 'Man I got the most UNRHYTHMIC WHITE WOMAN dancing next to me at the jay and bay concert... this b***h dancing to AC/ DC ',' he wrote at the time. Delta has now broken her silence about the shock incident and revealed while she initially found it humiliating, she came to see the experience as 'liberating' for a very surprising reason. 'I'd always been a bit shy to dance. That freedom the moment gave me... Someone keeps pressing a certain point, saying, "You can't dance",' Delta told Daily Mail's The Life of Bryony podcast. 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. Delta added a result of the Scary Movie actor publicly humiliating her was that she no longer feared people's criticism. 'Now I could dance in the street, I could dance right here. I could show you all my dance moves. I have no fear when it comes to dancing,' she said. 'All because I'd been completely humiliated. Thank you, now I can do an entire dance routine in my shows, I am ready to go!' In August 2014, Marlon and Delta were brought together as they both attended Jay Z and Beyoncé's On The Run tour in Los Angeles. Marlon was seen with a startled expression on his face as he watched the Innocent Eyes singer groove along to the music. Delta was seen smiling and throwing her hands in the air, seemingly oblivious to the comic's picture taking. She was at the gig in Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium with her close friend Renee Bargh, while the White Girls actor enjoyed a family night out - taking his son Amai to his very first concert. Delta also shared a snap at the event, uploading an image of Jay Z and Beyoncé performing on stage as she gushed about the show. After Marlon posted the picture, the songstress' fans rushed to her defence, with one fan writing 'that b***h you're standing next to is one of Australia's famous singers'. Another added 'that girl can dance! Should have gone to specsavers Marlon Wayans. Do you realise this is Australia's most successful musician?' However, some laughed along - with one Instagrammer joking 'I've seen her dancing on The Voice. It's horrendous.' Delta is one of Australia's most decorated female singer-songwriters. The former partner of Westlife singer Brian McFadden signed her first recording contract at only 15 years old and her 2003 debut album 'Innocent Eyes' topped the Australian charts for 29 weeks. Her most recent album, Bridge Over Troubled Dreams, was released in 2021 and reached number one in Australia.
