The next restaurant from the Tipo 00 crew is … not Italian
The brains behind Tipo 00, one of Melbourne's most treasured Italian restaurants, are making a bold departure with their next venue, opening in late June beneath a city office block at the business end of town. Harriot won't be strictly Italian, or strictly any cuisine. Instead, it aims to distil the relaxed refinement found at Europe's hottest wine bars and new-wave bistros.
James Kelly, a chef with several years' experience at mod British restaurant Lyle's in London, and several years at Melbourne's own Embla, will draw on France, Spain, Italy and the UK for his menus.
'A lot of Harriot is based around James' food,' says Luke Skidmore, a partner in Conferre Group, which includes Osteria Ilaria, Figlia, Grana and Tipo 00, together covering pizza, pasta, fine dining and a wine bar. Harriot will be the group's first restaurant without an Italian identity.
'It's definitely new,' says Skidmore. 'But the idea for myself and Andreas [Papadakis, chef and fellow partner] is to support younger staff members to do a venue they want to do.'

Pop star Ed Sheeran: I identify culturally as Irish
Ed Sheeran identifies culturally as Irish - even though he was born and raised in England. The 34-year-old pop star's dad hails from Ireland and Ed has been heavily influenced by his Irish heritage. During an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Ed explained: "I class my culture as Irish. I think that's what I grew up with. "My dad's family is ... he's got seven brothers and sisters. We'd spend all of our holidays in Ireland. "My first musical experiences were in Ireland, I grew up with trad music in the house. So I identify culturally as Irish, but I was obviously born and raised in Britain." Ed feels very proud of his Irish heritage. The chart-topping star said: "I don't overthink it but I do feel like my culture is something that I'm really proud of and grew up with and want to express. "And I feel like just because I was born in Britain doesn't necessarily mean that I have to just be (British), there's loads of people I know that are half this or quarter this. "I don't think there's any rules to it. It should be how you feel and how you were raised and what you lean into." Ed - who was raised in Suffolk, in east England - actually described Ireland as his "second home". Asked if he gets "a lot of love" in Ireland, the Perfect hitmaker replied: "I'd say it's basically my second home, musically. I'd say Ireland is the place that I am most successful musically." Meanwhile, Ed previously admitted that fatherhood has given him a "purpose" in life. The singer - who has daughters Lyra, four, and Jupiter, two, with his wife Cherry Seaborn - confessed that parenthood has transformed his life. He said on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show': "I just found that I really didn't have purpose outside of [music] because when I was giving myself fixed time of no work, I wasn't doing anything I enjoyed because I love doing music. And [being a dad] has actually given me purpose and something in life that's actually more important than my job."

James Gunn confirms new Wonder Woman film is in the works
A new Wonder Woman movie is in the works. James Gunn, the CEO of DC Studios, has confirmed that a new Wonder Woman film is already in development, explaining that the project is "slow moving, but it's moving". James, 58, told Entertainment Weekly: "We're working on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman's being written right now." Gal Gadot previously starred as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in a number of DC movies, including Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, and Wonder Woman 1984. However, plans to make a third standalone Wonder Woman movie with Gal as the lead actress were scrapped after James took on his current role. The Guardians of the Galaxy director has not yet cast the role of Wonder Woman for the upcoming movie, but he acknowledged that Superman, Batman, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman are crucial to the DC brand. James explained: "I wouldn't say only those four characters, but I would say that those four characters are incredibly important to us. "Right now, I feel great about where two of those characters are, and then we're dealing with the other two." Earlier this year, James claimed that "people are looking for heroes right now". The filmmaker wrote and directed the new Superman movie, and James is feeling optimistic about the David Corenswet-led film. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at a DC press event, he explained: "I think he's the right Superman because he is a character that stands for something that is solid, stands for basic human morals, basic human integrity, basic belief in protecting others and protecting the weak being good to people and being honest. "People are looking for heroes right now. They are looking for values of goodness, looking for people who are good and decent human beings. And Superman is that." James and Warner Bros plan to throw their full weight behind the promotional campaign for the upcoming film. The director said: "DZ [David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery] loves what we're doing, loves the movie, and has really rallied the entire company behind Superman for this summer. "You've seen what can happen when Warner Bros. Discover gets together behind a Barbie or a Beetlejuice or a Wonka or Kong. And that's how its being treated right now for Superman. Everything that DZ has promised us two years ago when we got the job, it's all been a reality." James and Peter Safran became the co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios back in 2022. And the duo remain committed to bringing popular comic book characters to life in the coming months and years. James shared: "We don't want these characters to die out. "We want to bring new stories and new life, we want to introduce these characters to new generations. And I think we are doing that, slowly but surely."

‘The VIP lane with extra bells on': Prince Harry and Meghan Markle given royal treatment during family trip to Disneyland
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly given the full 'VIP' treatment during a recent family trip to Disneyland to mark Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday. On Friday, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, uploaded a new Instagram post that included special moments from the family's two day visit to the original Disneyland park in Anaheim. In the clip, the Sussex family were seen riding Splash Mountain and visiting Sleeping Beauty's Castle, Star Tours – the Adventures Continue and other iconic rides. Lilibet, who is currently seventh in line to the British throne, was also gifted an extravagant Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake. Markle, who has now been out of the royal family for twice as long as she was inside the firm, obligingly thanked Disney publicly for 'giving' the Sussexes 'pure joy'. 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy,' she wrote. According to royal commentator Rupert Bell, the Sussexes were in "the VIP lane with extra bells on" during the visit. 'There didn't seem to any other members of the public while they were there,' he told TalkTV on Sunday. 'They definitely were walking around with a photographer.' The passes presumably allowed the Sussexes to skip to the front of queues for popular rides and utilise underground tunnels to discreetly move through the crowded theme park. The Sussexes have maintained a friendly relationship with Disney ever since Harry was infamously heard on a hot mic asking Disney CEO Bob Iger about a voiceover role for his wife at the Lion King premiere back in 2019. Months later, Markle narrated a Disney+ documentary titled Elephant, but later clarified she took no payment for the role and did the gig for charity. The extravagant trip on Disney's dime comes just months after reports Prince William was concerned about Markle's flagrant use of her HRH title despite agreeing not to mix the title with her commercial ventures. Since leaving royal duties, the Sussexes have banked over $100 million USD through partnership deals with Netflix, Spotify and the proceeds of Harry's memoir Spare.
