Jesse Williams' X account seemingly targeted by hackers
The former Grey's Anatomy star's X/Twitter account was seemingly infiltrated by an outsider who used the page to post inappropriate comments, involving celebrities such as Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Drake, Nina Dobrev and Demi Lovato. The messages, which were still on his account at press time, contained nudity and jokes about racism and paedophilia. During the posting spree, the apparent hacker wrote, "Diddy had cute butt cheeks (loved-up emoji)" and "I miss diddy", to imply that he was close with the rapper.

Meghan Markle's lucrative new business move revealed
Meghan Markle is planning to add hotels and restaurants to her growing business empire after trademarking it for 'hospitality services'. The Duchess of Sussex is expanding her lifestyle brand, As Ever, to include places to stay, 'provision of food and drink' and temporary lodgings, according to The Sun. The former actress could serve some of her own food creations — including recipes flaunted on her Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan'. Experts say it showed the 43-year-old royal's ambition to move forward and focus on the future, while husband Prince Harry, 40, seems stuck reflecting on the past. The 'Suits' alum has spent the year rebranding herself away from runaway royal to a lifestyle, entertaining and star hostess. Brand experts said hotels and restaurants fit in with her lifestyle business image. In the first episode of her eight-part TV series released in March, Meghan said: 'When I have someone stay, one of my favourite things to do is prep the guest room'. A second series has already been filmed and will be released in the autumn. Her lifestyle brand's website says: 'As Ever is more than a brand — it's a love language. 'Created by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, As Ever welcomes you to a collection of products, each inspired by her long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining and hostessing.' On Saturday, her As Ever page posted a new picture of her running through the sea in a white dress. It was captioned: 'So excited for all the good to come! 'Running into the weekend like', with an ocean wave emoji added. 'CALIFORNIAN ROYALTY' Meghan's As Ever Instagram page launched in February. Posts include pictures of her gardening, preparing fresh fruit and baking. PR and branding expert Jack Izzard, of Gallia Communications, said of her trademark application: 'In terms of positioning, it's not a million miles from where As Ever is. 'She is very much positioning herself as a star hostess, Californian royalty who makes her guests feel welcome. 'The issue she's potentially going to have is that's a completely different skill set, running a hospitality business. 'A night in an As Ever B&B will be several hundred pounds. That's really going to blow up if it's bad.' Mr Izzard said her recent activities are 'all about her reclaiming her voice' and building her brand. He added: 'She always intimated she was stifled by life in the Royal Family. 'She's got to earn a living. It's very much 'I'm this Californian hostess now'. 'Harry's still stuck in the past and trying to settle scores. She is looking ahead, forging this brand.' The Sun approached the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.

Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi cop huge $8m+ loss on last US home
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are set for a massive loss on one of their last remaining US homes, knocking $US5.4 million ($A8.2 million) off their original asking price. The comedian, who is currently living in an $US18 million ($A28 million) farmhouse in the Cotswolds, about two hours outside of London, initially put the sprawling home on the market in May 2024 for $US33.9 million ($A53.9 million), Realtor reports. With no sign of a buyer, the house was delisted three months later and remained off the market through the end of 2024. After news of their move was made public, the couple relisted the home in January with a reduced price of $US29.99 million ($A47.8 million) — just $900,000 more than what they paid for it in 2022. But even that discount failed to attract buyers, and the residence was once again taken off the market in May. Now it's back, with a significantly reduced price of $US28.5 million ($A43.7 million), exactly half a million under the pair's purchase price. It's believed the property is one of the last remaining homes DeGeneres and de Rossi currently own in the US. 'Toxic' Ellen's final $8m insult to US exposed The couple have sold several properties over the past year since moving to the British countryside. The duo recently sold a two-bedroom in Montecito for $US5.2 million ($A8.2 million), more than $US200,000 ($A312,000) over its $US4.995 million ($A7.9 million) asking price. The property flew off the market less than two weeks after it was listed in March this year, around four months after DeGeneres and de Rossi moved to the UK. However, the success they had with that home has not translated to the Neutra property, which sat on the market for 109 days before its listing was removed. A sale would mark only the fourth time the property has changed hands since it was built in 1955 by famous Austrian-American architect Richard Neutra, having been owned by the same family for 40 years until finally being sold for the first time in 1994. That owner, who purchased the modernist home for the bargain price of just $US1.42 million, held onto the property for a further 25 years before putting it on the market in 2019, when it sold for $US20 million. Three years later, DeGeneres and de Rossi added the five-bedroom pad to their already-impressive property portfolio, paying out $US29 million for the dwelling. They have since renovated the home extensively, helping to restore Neutra's 'pioneering vision,' while also adding a host of modern-day amenities. Per the listing description, the home, which is widely known as 'The Brown House,' has plenty to offer a potential buyer, not least the architectural caché that comes from owning a Neutra design. 'Originally crafted in 1955 by the renowned Richard Neutra, [the house] stands as a quintessential architectural masterpiece nestled in the prestigious enclave of Bel Air,' the listing states. 'One of the most iconic homes to be built, it has undergone a meticulous restoration, thoughtfully revering Neutra's pioneering vision while integrating modern luxuries. A true encapsulation of living in a work of art.' The home also offers sweeping views of the Los Angeles skyline, as well as two 'state-of-the-art' kitchens and a sizeable living area. 'This is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of architectural heritage, offering a lifestyle marked by grandeur and exclusivity in one of the most coveted locations,' the listing concludes. Their struggle to find a buyer for the property has not held the couple back from investing in new real estate in the UK, where they are understood to have snapped up an $US18 million ($A28 million) farmhouse in 2024, according to People magazine. Since then, the couple — who made a second career out of flipping homes in and around California while they were living in Montecito — have been carrying out extensive renovations to the abode, which have landed them in some hot water with their neighbours. According to the Daily Mail, DeGeneres found herself 'in peril of getting on the wrong side' of a high-profile member of her new neighbourhood after she 'committed a 'technical breach'' during the build of a single-story extension at her new home. The outlet described it as a 'planning clash'. Several neighbours voiced their objections to the couple's plans. Despite the protests, a spokesperson for West Oxfordshire Direct Council insisted that the work was 'completed to a high standard,' according to the New York Post. 'The works at the property involved a single-story extension and garden landscaping,' the spokesperson said. 'Although the extension technically breached permitted development rights, it was considered acceptable in planning terms. 'As the works were completed to a high standard with no impact on surrounding amenities or other planning concerns, no further enforcement action was necessary, and the case has been closed.'

Rugby star's Ilona Maher's Miami Swim Week reveal
A popular rugby player and US Olympian has revealed a key detail that went on behind the scenes of her Miami Swim week appearance. Ilona Maher, who is the world's most followed rugby player on social media, recently took the internet by storm with her appearance. 'Men think they are tough but they'll never do Miami Swim Week wearing only bikinis while on their periods like I did,' she said. Fans commended Maher for her efforts. 'You absolutely SHINED in Miami Swim Week, GO GIRL,' one said. Another said: 'Hell yeah, I'm synched up with an Olympic champion�.' 'Another medal, get her another medal now,' one commented. One said: 'WHILE ON YOUR PERIOD? SLAY!' Maher has been in swimsuits a lot recently between the fashion event and appearing in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit edition for the second time. When asked if being in a swimsuit was tough for her, Mahertold the Today Show she loved showing off what her body had done for her. 'I've been to two Olympics now. It does amazing things on the field. It's just perfect for what it does and so strong,' she said. 'I think other girls seeing that, and feeling like, 'Oh my gosh, I look like her, I have the frame of her' not only has helped me and made me feel more confident, I think it helps others. 'You can be just as confident, feel as beautiful as I do.' She also said she did zero preparation ahead of her Sports Illustrated appearance, saying she wanted to look back and appreciate the real version of herself. The 28-year-old has been forced to defend what her body looks like, particularly last year after a troll called her out for having a BMI of 30. 'I do have a BMI of 30, well 29.3 to be more exact. I've been considered overweight my whole life,' she said in a now viral clip shared last year. 'In middle school, elementary school, high school, I've always been considered overweight.' Maher recalled an incident in high school when she had to return a physical test to the school office and at the bottom it said 'overweight'. 'I was so embarrassed to turn that in and to have that written there,' she said. 'So my whole life I've been this way. I chatted with my dietitian, because I go off facts and not just what pops off up here (as she points to her head), like you do. 'We talked about BMI and how it really isn't helpful to athletes. BMI doesn't tell you much, it just tells you your height and weight and what that equals. 'I've said it before, I'm five-ten (178cm), 200 pounds (90kgs), and I have about 170 pounds of lean mass on me. Do that math in your head, you probably can't. 'That's pretty crazy right? And that BMI doesn't really tell you what I can do. It doesn't tell you what I do on the field, how fit I am, it's just a couple of numbers put together.' And then the two-time Olympian finished it off with the perfect take-down, adding; 'So yeah I do have a BMI of 30, I am considered overweight. But alas, I'm going to the Olympics, and you're not.'
