Gypsy-Rose shares reason for using IVF for second child
The 33-year-old, who welcomed daughter Aurora earlier this year, opened up about her family plans on Tori Spelling's podcast misSPELLING.
'I do, I do. But we will have to use IVF for our next one because the one medical condition that I actually do have, it's called microdeletion 1Q21.1,' Blanchard explains. 'So it's just a long word for I'm missing a small piece in each of my first chromosomes.'
'That is something that could potentially be passed down to every child that I have. Every child that I have has a fifty-fifty shot of having it,' Blanchard says. 'Aurora has been tested and she came back negative, thank God. So it was not passed to her. But as a preventative measure, we will go through IVF for our next one.'

Spelling then asked Blanchard if she wants a boy now that she has her daughter.
'We do want a boy. One boy and one girl,' Blanchard says. 'Probably just two. I say that now. You never know what the future holds, but just two for now on the horizon.'
According to the National Institute of Health in the US, Microdeletion 1Q21.1 is a chromosomal change that can increase the risk of delayed development, intellectual disability, physical abnormalities, and neurological and psychiatric problems.
Back in April, Blanchard announced on Instagram that Aurora tested negative for the condition, writing, 'Great news about Aurora! We're overjoyed to share that our sweet girl, Aurora, has tested negative for the rare condition known as microdeletion 1q21.1. This result brings us such immense relief and gratitude. Thank you to everyone who's kept us in your thoughts — your support has meant the world.'

In a statement to People Magazine at the time, Blanchard shared, 'I was so relieved to learn that my daughter didn't inherit my condition. I was tested in 2012 and was positive, and again last year in October and again came back positive. There was a 50-50 chance that she could have inherited it, so we got her tested and she came back negative; therefore, herself and her future children won't have to worry about getting the condition that I have. It stops with me.'
'We are so relieved to know that she is healthy and is meeting all of her developmental milestones perfectly,' the proud mum added.

Entourage star's rude label for Perth after recent visit
Best known for his work as no-filter film agent Ari Gold in HBO's Entourage, TV star Jeremy Piven has proven he hasn't quite shaken the character after labelling Perth the 'meth capital of Australia'. Attending the premiere of his latest film Primitive War in Sydney on Monday night, Piven was pushed to name his 'favourite place' Down Under after an extended period touring his stand-up show. But the comic's initial remarks were far from complimentary, at least towards the west coast. 'In the middle of my tour, we headed over to Perth, which is the meth capital of Australia... I don't know if you know that,' he told DailyMail. 'And so in the spirit of Donald Trump, I want to rename Perth, 'Merth'. The 60-year-old performed at Mt Lawley's Astor Theatre on August 6, following an East Coast jaunt that featured stops in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, and later Adelaide. Jeremy Piven has been performing in Australia in recent weeks.

'The reality is, I went to a cigar bar called The Social Club there and it was one of the best cigar lounges I've ever been to in my life,' he revealed. The two-time Emmy winner may have been referring to Cigar Social, a private, members-only cigar lounge in West Perth. PerthNow reached out to Cigar Social, with the venue choosing not confirm nor deny Piven's attendance. Speaking more broadly about his stand-up tour, the actor reflected on the warm reception he'd received across the nation. 'Every stop that I had, whether it was the Enmore Theatre here in Sydney or going to Melbourne and playing Hamer Hall, they were some of the best times I've ever had in my life,' he said. 'Sold out houses... It was just incredible. I loved it.' Jeremy Piven stars in Numbered Lives. Credit: Jeremy Piven / Instagram The actor stars alongside Australia's Ryan Kwanten and Canadian Tricia Helfer in Primitive War, a horror film set amid the Vietnam War that was filmed in the Gold Coast's jungle. It follows Piven's other Aussie production Numbered Lives, a thriller shot in South Australia last year that was released nationally earlier this month.

Joe Jonas drops hint over Camp Rock 3
Joe Jonas appears to have suggested Camp Rock 3 is on its way. The Sucker singer, along with his Jonas Brothers bandmates and siblings Nick and Kevin Jonas, starred opposite Demi Lovato in the 2008 Disney movie and its 2010 follow-up Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, and he's suggested a script has been written for a third installment in the series, though he didn't share any further details. The Jonas Brothers appeared on the latest episode of Hot Ones Versus and Joe was asked to read the last entry on his Notes app out loud. He looked at the camera and said: "Uh-oh." He then cleared his throat and said: "Read Camp Rock 3." Nick put down his glass of milk and made a shocked face, prompting laughter from his brothers and the crew, before he said: "It's pretty good." Kevin added: 'Okay, that's a pretty good one.' Joe pointed at his phone and said: "It's the truth. It's literally right here. "Sorry, Disney." Back in 2017, Nick declared he'd be keen on making an adult-rated Camp Rock 3. He added to People magazine: 'If the right thing comes together, I think that'd be fun. It's a really delicate thing because [they're two films] really beloved by fans. So I think for it to work, it'd have to be some creative new version where we get a writing team and do something special." Earlier this year, Alyson Stoner, who played Caitlyn Geller, insisted she hadn't heard any talk of a Camp Rock 3 and was unsure how the cast could reunite for another film. She told People magazine in June: "I truly cannot confirm or deny anything. They haven't given me a ring. "I wonder where that plot line would go. It would thicken. It would have to thicken quite a bit to get all of us back." Camp Rock followed Mitchie Torres (Lovato) as she attended the titular prestigious music camp and caught the attention of pop star Shane Gray (Joe), who was also attending the camp to reignite his passion, while the sequel saw the facility fight for survival amid the launch of a rival, Camp Star.

Aerial surfing is coming to Sydney, and Hughie Vaughan will be in full flight
The World Surf League's cooler, younger sibling is coming to Sydney, and all eyes will be on an 18-year-old local who pulled off the 'best aerial ever done' earlier this year. Stab High, a surf contest 'focused on flight', will take place at Sydney's Urbnsurf park in October. While traditional surf competitions, like those contested by the pros in the World Surf League, focus on perfect technique, Stab High is all about landing one 'explosive aerial manoeuvre'. Hughie Vaughan did just that at an event in Waco, Texas in June, performing a trick that drew the praise of legends of surfing – and skateboarding – alike. Hailing from the Central Coast, Vaughan comes from a family of surfers (his brother Joel competes in the WSL). The trick he performed, the 'stale fish backflip' – using one hand to hold his board in place as he backflipped through the air, landing perfectly on top of the wave – originated in skating. Vaughan's attempt may be the first time it has been pulled off on a surfboard. A video of the trick posted by surf photographer Rob Henson – captioned the 'BEST AIR ever done' – went viral, racking up more than 7000 likes. 'Wowsers' was former Australian world champion Mick Fanning's reaction. 'Had to watch it 50 times just to figure out what happened. Amazing,' Fanning commented on Instagram.
