Lauren Sanchez breaks silence over Georgina Rodriguez's 'copycat' engagement ring
Earlier today, Georgina and footballer Cristiano Ronaldo announced their engagement on Instagram.
The brunette beauty shared a picture of a jaw-dropping diamond ring alongside a caption that read: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.'
And Lauren, 55, who only recently tied the knot with Amazon beau Jeff Bezos, was very quick to leave a comment.
'So happy for you,' she wrote, alongside a red heart emoji.
Georgina's new bling is enough to rival Lauren's own.
The 55-year-old former journalist showed off her first envy-inducing diamond ring back in 2023, after her now-husband Jeff Bezos proposed aboard his $500 million superyacht, Koru.
While it's quite sizable, the Amazon founder, 61, hid the ring underneath her pillow after they had a romantic dinner outside to pop the question.
The original bling is estimated to be about 30 carats and has been valued between $3 and $5 million. Sánchez revealed in an interview with Vogue that the center stone is a rare pink diamond with a rose tone.
However, Sánchez was quick to upgrade her multimillion dollar engagement ring for her actual wedding.
During her over-the-top wedding week in Venice, Italy, Sánchez showed off a new dazzler that jewelers previously told the Daily Mail they believe is worth between a mindboggling $1.5 million and $5 million, which is just a drop in the bucket for the billionaire.

Influencer who was part of a death hoax at 14 challenges OnlyFans sensation Sophie Rain to $60 million boxing match
Controversial influencer Lil Tay has challenged OnlyFans star Sophie Rain to a $60 million boxing match a week after she made her debut on the adult content platform. Lil Tay, 18, shared a fiery post targeting the 20-year-old Bop House founder and OnlyFans top earner on Tuesday. 'Sophie Rain, $60 million is what I have for you to fight me in a boxing match,' Lil Tay, who became an internet sensation when she was just nine years old, said in the clip shared with her 5.8 million Instagram followers. 'You're about that money, right? Well this is more money than you've ever made off that crusty, dusty, boomer a** life. So put on the gloves and fight me.' Lil Tay went on to say this prospective fight would be a chance for Rain to meet her 'idol in the ring.' 'And don't pretend you're above it all just because you're scared I'm gonna beat the brakes off of you,' she rambled on. 'I'm ready for you. I've been training, I've been doing spicy boxing training sessions, workouts .' She added she was going to tell her manager and lawyers to draft up a contract about getting her and Rain in the ring. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LIL TAY (@liltay) Lil Tay captioned the post, stating that Rain has '24 hours to reply.' Rain does not appear to have responded to the proposition yet. The self-proclaimed 'youngest flexer of the century' issued this message to Rain after Tay tore the internet to shreds by launching an OnlyFans on her 18th birthday. Within the first three hours of her adult content page being active, she earned more than $1 million from subscribers. Many of her fans were unsettled by this development, as she has been in the spotlight since she was a little girl. Lil Tay was infamously involved in a death hoax scandal when she was just 14 years old. Around June 2018, Lil Tay took an abrupt social media hiatus that lasted about five years. In August 2023, Lil Tay, whose real name is Claire Hope, and her brother Jason, then 21 years old, were declared 'dead' in an out-of-the-blue Instagram statement. But a month later, the cash-flaunting child rapper re-emerged and claimed her 'abusive' father was behind the sinister scheme. 'My abusive racist misogynistic woman beating father faked my death,' she bluntly asserted at the time. While it is unconfirmed what truly transpired, Lil Tay's rocky relationship with her parents - especially her father, Christopher Hope - had been a major chapter of the young woman's career. Recently, Lil Tay has found herself at the center of attention once again - this time for her OnlyFans pursuits. On the day she turned 18, she claimed the content was taken at exactly 12:01am, calling it 'freshly 18' content and adding in her bio: 'Please don't tell my mom.' But before the clock struck 12 on her birthday, she had already started buzz with her plans, advertising that she was launching the account online. It is likely she specially targeted Rain in her Tuesday boxing match proposal because she and members of the Bop House - which is a house full OnlyFans creators - had allegedly been claiming Lil Tay was trying to join. Lil Tay has vocally disputed these claims, even showing off a screenshot of the Bop House TikTok page actually reaching out to her to 'audition.' Adding another layer to the matter, Rain - who rapidly climbed to fame for earning $43 million on the platform in one year - has recently left the Bop House amid an alleged feud with another member, Camilla Araujo, 23, who announced she was also leaving the house about a week after. As Rain departed the Bop House, rumors emerged that she may be quitting OnlyFans altogether. In a video she shared on TikTok on July 22, she wrote 'Day 1 of me being retired' and showed herself sitting in a grassy field. She also said she purchased a farm with her staggering OnlyFans earnings. But after Lil Tay launched her account and received a jaw-dropping among of overnight success, Rain seemingly posted a TikTok directed at the OnlyFans newcomer. 'Me coming out of retirement after hearing someone is claiming to make more than me,' Rain wrote in a TikTok shared on Monday.

The history of Australia can be told entirely in cake – how many have you tried?
A choo-choo train, a hickory dickory clock, a swimming pool filled with jelly or a Dolly Varden cake – if you were lucky to grow up in the late '90s or early 2000s, these nostalgic bakes are sure to stir up lots of memories. But celebrations looked very different before The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book entered the chat and long before Instagram changed the home baking game. You can learn a surprising amount about Australia's past by looking at its cake evolution. From humble colonial sponges and the birth of the lamington to multicultural flavours and uber-aesthetic creations, every slice serves up a piece of our nation's history. Let's dig in. 65,000 years ago Long before ovens were invented, Indigenous Australians were baking scones, damper and 'seed cakes' made from crushed native seeds, nuts and roots. They mixed these ingredients with water to form a dough, then roasted them over hot coals or ash, or boiled and steamed them in ground ovens. While not many Aussies are blowing out birthday candles on a damper cake these days, it's a classic Aussie camping tradition that's lots of fun to make. Late 1700s to early 1800s When European settlers first arrived in Australia, they brought with them recipes for bannock (Johnny cakes), fruitcakes, boiled puddings and simple sponges. With limited fresh produce and sugar available, these cakes relied heavily on preserved fruits and dried ingredients. Love 'em or loathe 'em, fruitcakes and puddings are now a festive staple during Christmas. Early 1900s By the early 1900s, Australia began carving out its own baking identity with two now-iconic creations – the lamington and pavlova. Legend has it that the lamington was created in Queensland in the early 1900s when a maid of Lord Lamington (the eighth Governor of Queensland) accidentally dropped a sponge cake into melted chocolate. Instead of tossing it, she coated it in desiccated coconut – and the rest is history. The pavlova followed in the 1920s, created in honour of Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova during her tours of Australia and New Zealand. Its origin sparked a friendly rivalry with New Zealand that continues to this day. 1920s to 1950s During the Depression and wartime, cakes were shaped by rationing and frugality, relying on basic ingredients. Boiled fruitcakes and dense slices from colonial times remained household favourites, with the Country Women's Association (CWA) preserving these baking traditions through their cookbooks. The CWA's recipes also popularised afternoon tea favourites from the Victorian era, including tea cakes, sponge cakes, madeira cakes and seed cakes. Oh, and who could forget scones with jam and cream? 1950s to 1980s Post-war migration introduced new baking traditions to Australia, including Greek honey cakes, Persian love cakes, Italian tortas, Vietnamese pandan chiffon and Eastern European cheesecakes – and thank goodness it did. Imagine life without cheesecake?! 1950s to 1980s The release of The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book changed birthday celebrations nationwide, with brightly decorated cakes featuring jelly, fondant and playful shapes becoming party staples. Nostalgic recipes from my childhood include the swimming pool cake with blue jelly 'water', Dolly Varden cake with a Barbie wearing a 'skirt' of piped buttercream, and number cakes covered in icing, sprinkles and lollies. With the cookbook celebrating 45 years since its release, I'm stoked to see these cakes making a comeback. 1980s to 2000s In the 1980s, mass production ramped up, making cakes readily available in supermarkets and bakeries across the country. By the early 2000s, Coles and Woolworths' legendary mud cakes were a household staple – and I'll admit, I had a slice for morning tea almost every single day as a kid. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mouths of Mums (@mouths_of_mums) 2010s to 2020s Social media changed the cake game once again in the early 2010s, ushering in a new era of cake pops, rainbow layer cakes, drip masterpieces and even watermelon in disguise (thanks to Black Star Pastry). Then the early 2020s lockdowns sparked a home-baking boom, which led to a surge in side-hustle cake businesses. Now, we see talented home bakers piping up cakes that are bona fide works of edible art – think glitter, bows, ruffles and edible flowers.

Imogen Anthony doesn't look like this anymore! Kyle Sandilands' ex unveils bold new look
Imogen Anthony has debuted a bold new look on social media. The former girlfriend of Kyle Sandilands had fans doing a double take on Tuesday when she unveiled her latest gothic transformation. In the footage, the 34-year-old looked unrecognisable as she ditched her blonde locks in favour of a jet-black mane. She added to her look with a sleeveless all-black ensemble that featured a dramatic bustline, and exposed her lower back. The model highlighted her flawless features with heavily pencilled eyeliner and a subtle lip to complete the drama. She captioned the clip with some amusing words. The model and former girlfriend of Kyle Sandilands had fans doing a double take on Tuesday when she unveiled her latest gothic transformation 'Funeral attire,' she wrote Many of Imogen's followers took to the comment section to share their appreciation. 'Gorgeous... and love this dress!' one person wrote. 'It's giving Evanescence vibes. I'm obsessed,' a second added. 'Gorgeous, and love this dress!' wrote another, while one more referenced director Luc Besson's 1997 sci-fi hit, writing: 'Giving 5th element!!' Imogen married her partner Harley Jones in November 2022 in Las Vegas. She and her radio star ex-boyfriend Kyle were together from 2011 to 2019, but he never popped the question to her. The media titan announced his shock split from the Big Brother VIP star on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in November 2019. The couple began dating in 2011 after meeting at Kyle's 40th birthday party. They lived together in a $3,000-a-week rented property in Sydney's Hunters Hill. They also spent time at Kyle's $2.9million ranch in the NSW Southern Highlands. In 2018, Imogen provided an insight into their personal lives. 'Social media has a perception of showing you what you want to see. But for us there is a lot of sitting around doing f**king nothing,' she told 'We have quiet nights all the time… that's all we do is quiet nights, like sitting in front of Netflix where we have shows we watch constantly. 'But we have things being constant too. We have a farm, he's up at 4.30am, so it can be a bit crazy.'
