Abbie Chatfield has last laugh after Brit's parking fumble
A British woman has been served a dose of karma after committing a parking faux pas on an Australian media star's property. Media sensation Abbie Chatfield took to social media on Sunday to recount the 'crazy interaction' she had on her Bondi driveway to her 667,000 followers. The star had left to take her dog for a walk when she noticed a woman in a Mazda had parked an inch away from her car, with the Mazda's backend 'halfway over the driveway'. 'Literally, you could not get a car out at all,' the It's A Lot podcast host told her followers. Chatfield said she felt compelled to approach the woman about the parking job as she had previously heard 'people from England park recklessly'. 'She's not from here, I thought she was confused,' she explained as the motivation behind letting the woman know the move was illegal. Instead of acknowledging the parking blunder and moving her vehicle, Chatfield said the British woman instead became increasingly angry in response. 'She was yelling 'I didn't ask you'…. I told her I didn't want to fight (her). 'I said, 'Babes, people live in this apartment building, they have 4WDs and utes'.' She told the woman it was a 'nightmare' to get out of the driveway, which was reportedly met with laughter and refusal to move — a reaction the Bachelor alumnus took a moment to directly address. 'Why are you laughing that you're committing a crime? Why are you laughing that you're being incredibly disrespectful, blocking someone's driveway, and yelling at a stranger? 'You obviously have no respect for our garden and no respect for our footpath.' Chatfield got the last laugh, however — taking to social media with a follow-up video later that day showing the Mazda's driver received their karma in the form of a $330 fine. 'Well, well, well…. I tried to warn her,' the star joked while showing the ranger ticket underneath the car's wiper. The comments were just as happy as Chatfield to see the woman had gotten fined for the act. 'Karmas so swift sometimes!' one follower wrote. 'This is so incredibly cathartic,' another agreed. Another commenter chimed in: 'Oof $330 is a big fine too, she's going to regret that!' Even Aussie comedian Matt Hey jumped in, saying the payback 'was everything'. Blocking a driveway is illegal in all Australian states. If a parked vehicle obstructs access to a driveway, fines between $100 and $590 apply depending on local council policies. PerthNow reached out to Abbie Chatfield's representatives, however, did not receive a response.

Aussie actor celebrates star-studded birthday without wife
Chris Hemsworth celebrated his birthday surrounded by star-studded friends in Ibiza, but one important loved one was missing — his wife, Elsa Pataky. The Aussie actor spent his 42nd birthday bash with a lunch at celebrity hotspot Casa Jondal and a cruise on a luxury boat with his famous friends, including brothers Liam and Luke Hemsworth, Matt Damon, Rita Ora and her husband, director Taika Waititi, and Patrick and Pia Whitesell. However, Pataky was no where to be seen as she stayed behind in Australia, spotted shopping for groceries at a Byron Bay supermarket after returning home from Spain, where she was filming her new TV series, Matices. Meanwhile, Hemsworth soaked up the Ibiza sunshine and good vibes dressed in a casual white t-shirt, black shorts and aviator sunglasses. Guests looked to be having an enjoyable time cruising the sparkling waters of the party city in a flash silver boat that had ample room for socialising on the rear deck. Taika Waititi and Matt Damon.

Pop star Ora was summer-ready in a purple bikini and matching headscarf, which she paired with lots of gold and silver jewellery. Although Pataky, 49, did not join her husband at the celebration, she did share a sweet birthday tribute to him on social media on Monday, which was his actual birthday. Alongside a throwback photo of her embracing Hemsworth, she wrote the heartfelt caption: 'Happy Birthday to my Rocky Balboa. You're the best of the best.' While Pataky was busy working in Spain, Hemsworth attended the last day of Wimbledon and relaxed on a beach in France with his longtime personal trainer and friend Luke Zocchi. The couple eventually reunited for the Thor star's new National Geographic series, Limitless: Live Better Now, with twin sons, Tristan and Sasha, 11, in London.

‘A proud symbol of representation and visibility': Madame Tussauds Sydney unveils first ‘non-binary' wax figure of rocker G Flip
Aussie rocker G Flip has become the first non-binary person to be immortalised in wax by Madame Tussauds Sydney. The Melbourne-born singer and drummer, who goes by they/them pronouns, was unveiled as the latest addition to the museum on Wednesday. G Flip's waxy doppelganger is part of Madame Tussauds' music icon series and will appear alongside the likes of Kylie Minogue, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles. 'Wow, this is extremely wild. Very stoked to be made of wax and be the first non-binary wax figure in Australia,' G Flip said in a statement. 'It's an honour to be included among so many legends. I hope everyone enjoys whacking some drums with the wax version of me, apologies for the noise in advance.' While G Flip's wax figure will be on permanent display in Sydney, the real G Flip now lives in Los Angeles with their wife, Netflix star Chrisell Stause. In a press release, Madame Tussauds claimed the new statue would serve as 'historic moment' for the country's LGBTQ+ community. 'The figure also stands as a proud symbol of representation and visibility, celebrating LGBTQ+ Australians and reinforcing Madame Tussauds' commitment to showcasing diverse icons who inspire and lead with authenticity,' a spokesperson for the wax museum said. 'G Flip has revolutionised the Australian music scene with their raw talent and fearless authenticity,' Chris Harvey, Head of Operations at Madame Tussauds Sydney added. 'But beyond the music, they've become a beacon of inclusivity and self-expression. This figure celebrates both their artistry and their impact - and we're proud to welcome them to our Sydney Live! zone.' The original Madame Tussauds museum was opened in London in 1835 by French sculptor Marie Tussaud, who wowed the public with her eerily life-like creations. The Madame Tussauds brand is now owned by Merlion Entertainments, which operates over a dozen wax museums across the globe.
