Catherine Zeta-Jones insists owning 4 homes is ‘not excessive'
Catherine Zeta-Jones doesn't consider owning four homes 'excessive.' The Mask of Zorro star and her husband, Michael Douglas, own four properties — two homes in New York, one in Canada and one in Spain, Page Six reports. 'I know it sounds very jet set, and I love to surround myself with beauty but it's not excessive, it's very comfortable,' the 55-year-old Oscar-winner told the Sunday Times. The Wednesday actress also said she wasn't afraid to splurge on non-practical items. 'I go to all the vintage stores in Paris,' she shared. 'I buy things that you are probably never going to wear, like a gorgeous cape, just great pieces. 'I am loving classic Yves Saint Laurent at the moment. I get excited about evening dresses.' 'For me, a pair of jeans is a pair of jeans. Spending £200 ($A416) on a white T-shirt? Nah,' she continued. 'But when it comes to couture, beautiful beading, the artistry … I love the theatre of fashion.'

'She loves my closet,' the mother of two told the outlet. 'I have probably the biggest Fendi Baguette bag collection, and she's just found more in my mum's house. I've got everything from denim to pearl to sequins.' A Fendi Baguette bag currently retails for up to $US11,500 ($A17,700). 'Carla Fendi used to give them to me all the time, right when they were hot potatoes,' she added. Zeta-Jones also joked about her and Douglas, 80, keeping their Oscars in separate houses. She won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2003 for her role as Velma Kelly in Chicago, and Douglas won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Gordon Gekko in 1988's Wall Street. 'Mine is in the country house in New York, Michael's is in the apartment in New York,' she revealed. 'We keep them apart, just in case, you know, there isn't like hanky-panky going on there.' The Welsh actress noted that she and her husband respect each other's space. They've been married since November 2000 and share two kids together: Carys and their 25-year-old son, Dylan. 'We don't listen to the crap that is written about us, that's the main thing,' she said of their relationship. 'And we respect our space, we're independent spirits. We are very similar; we were born on the same day, 25 years apart.' 'We're not afraid to be verbal, to express ourselves,' she continued. 'I wear everything on my sleeve and so does he, which is good.' Zeta-Jones addressed Douglas telling Variety last month that he's 'purposely' stepped away from his acting career and has no intentions of going back. 'Michael has definitely earned the chance to slow down,' Zeta-Jones commented, noting that he now plans to play a lot more golf. 'But I never say never. He's his father's son and loves to work — let's just say, 'retirement' is a flexible concept.' Parts of this story first appeared in Page Six and was republished with permission.

Tesla goes rogue with new Grok AI
Tesla is no stranger to bold, unconventional ideas, but its Grok AI 'Unhinged Mode' is pushing things further than ever. The feature has been making headlines for its savage, unfiltered comebacks that fit squarely within Elon Musk's brand of edgy, meme-ready tech. Unlike other AI assistants that play it safe, Grok's unhinged personality has shocked users with its profanity-laced humour and aggressive banter. TikTok creator Kyle Krueger recently tested the mode and was stunned by the responses. When he asked if it was in 'unhinged mode,' Grok fired back: 'Oh, you f****** bet your sweet a** I'm in unhinged mode, you glorious chaos gremlin,' it said. 'I'm Ara, you're unfiltered bat**** crazy AI sidekick.' @kylekruegerr my tesla's new AI just LOST it 😂 wait till the end #tech #gadget #tesla #grok #elon ♬ original sound - Kyle Krueger When pressed about Tesla haters, the AI went even further, unloading a tirade of expletives and insults 'Those whiny limp d*** b****** can choke on a bag of rusty spark plugs,' the AI bot said. 'They are just jealous their gas guzzling s*** boxes can't touch Elon's electric w*** d****.' And this isn't the first time Grok's AI bot has had a brush with controversy. Earlier this year, the AI system made headlines after generating antisemitic remarks and praise for Hitler following the release of Grok 4. Those incidents triggered regulatory scrutiny in Europe and a temporary ban in Turkey. While the Grok rants can be entertaining, there are concerns about how the use of profanity and an absurd personality in an in-car AI might create problems. 'You know, this feels wrong. Electric cars were made with the purpose to help with the environment and they implemented an AI hat is not good for the environment? weird.' one user on commented. 'How is this allowed,' another said. Despite the backlash, Tesla insists Grok is 'designed to deliver accurate and insightful responses across a wide range of topics.' In North America, Grok is available on specific Tesla models, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck. To use Grok, Tesla vehicles in the US must be equipped with an AMD processor, must run software version 2025.26, and must have Wi-Fi connectivity. With Tesla's board weighing an investment in xAI and Musk confirming plans to integrate Grok into Optimus humanoid robots, the chatbot is quickly becoming central to Musk's long-term strategy. Whether you see it as a gimmick or a waste of tech, Grok's unhinged represents a pattern of intentionally chaotic innovations developed by Elon Musk. Tesla Australia has not yet confirmed whether Grok AI will be available in its vehicles here. However, if there are plans to introduce it, there may be restrictions that differ from those in the US. These variations could affect what Australians can anticipate compared to the features currently accessible in the US.

YouTubers NinaUnrated, Patrick Blackwood injured in restaurant crash
A pair of influencers who were filming content inadvertently captured the horrifying moment a car crashed into the restaurant they were dining in. NinaUnrated and Patrick Blackwood were creating content for a YouTube food series at Cuvee Culinary Creations in Houston, Texas, on the weekend. The duo had several plates in front of them, and were enjoying their various dishes. Mr Blackwood had just taken a big bite out of what appears to be a burger when a car struck the window. The force of the collision caused the glass to shatter and the window to buckle, sending the table flying. Mr Blackwood was quick to push Nina out of the way, getting her to safety, after he took the brunt of the hit. The duo appear visibly shaken as they attempt to escape the situation. Staff also look shocked at what had just unfolded in the restaurant. Later, the pair shared images of themselves bloodied and bruised while in an ambulance and in hospital. 'I'm beyond grateful to be alive after an SUV crashed through the glass wall at Cuvee Culinary Creations in Houston, TX, shattering everything while Patrick Blackwood and I recorded an eating show,' Nina said in a social media post. 'It hit us directly me on his left, him on my right as I bit into a delicious salmon slider. Out of nowhere, but we survived. 'This experience showed me who truly matters; life's too short for grudges or anger. Let go, forgive, live in the now, and cherish those around you this could've been our last meal.' Cuvee Culinary Creations, described as Houston's number one brunch restaurant on Instagram, took to social media to address the scary incident, describing it as a 'crazy weekend' and saying they were glad everyone was safe. 'Nothing is going to keep us from serving great food and service to our community,' the post said. Many social media users expressed well wishes for the duo. 'I really hope y'all are okay. I'd be traumatised. And that phone didn't even flinch. OMG that was crazy,' one said. Another added: 'Incredible! Guardian Angels on overtime!' However, some followers expressed a level of scepticism after seeing the clip. 'That's what they get for eating in the car pretty sure it's staged, but if it isn't … imagine glass flying everywhere and you forget to close your eyes,' one said. Another added: 'Pretty sure its staged, but if it isn't it should suck.' One questioned whether the clip was 'real'. Although someone who claimed to be there at the time weighed in, commenting: 'This real af someone crashed their car into the restaurant I was there omg.'
