Guess who? Aussie star turns up the heat as she flaunts peachy derrière in daring mini-skirt while on holiday in Miami
A famous Aussie had onlookers doing a double take when she stepped out in Miami for a bite to eat. The TV personality ensured her famous curves were the star of the show when she arrived at 11th Street Diner, a retro eatery housed in a railroad-style car, located in South Beach. The blonde beauty was dressed to impress in a green tee tucked into her bikini top that made the most of her tanned abs, paired with an itsy-bitsy kaleidoscope mini that showed off her trim pins. She added to her look with a pair of designer shades to hide her famous visage. The breakout star opted to turn her entrance into an impromptu photoshoot as she twisted and turned on the diner's stairs and flaunted her peachy derriere, while she ran her well-manicured hands through her thick hair extensions. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. So do you know who it is? It's of course Made in Bondi star and Sydney heiress Emma 'Pills' Pillemer, 23. Emma's no stranger to racy displays. Earlier in the year she turned heads and raised temperatures at Coachella with one of the festival's most daring looks yet. She made quite the entrance in a barely-there pink sequin bikini top that left little to the imagination. She styled the eye-popping piece with a pair of low-slung, paint-splattered cargo trousers that clung to her hips with the help of a bold gold chain belt from her namesake jewellery line, Emma Pills. Accessorising with playful butterfly jewellery, statement rings and layered gold chains, the blonde bombshell amped up the glam with tousled beach waves, dewy bronzed makeup and a swipe of glossy nude lipstick. Emma was all smiles as she posed for a mirror selfie with a friend in one image, clutching a plush unicorn toy and playfully poking out her tongue while holding up her hot pink iPhone. Her friend, equally festival-ready, wore an oversized graphic tee with wide-leg jeans and layered gold chains, completing her look with dark sunnies and chunky accessories. Later in the evening, Emma was snapped lying on the grass with a brunette friend, looking effortlessly cool and soaking in the desert festival vibes. Her outfit once again stole the spotlight, proving the Bondi stunner knows exactly how to command attention in a crowd. The TV star, who recently launched a new collection through her Emma Pills brand, has been partying with Aussie influencer pals and was rumoured to have been spotted dancing near VIP areas with several big-name US creators. Back in February, Emma gave fans an intimate look into her luxurious $30 million Sydney mansion in a YouTube video. Emma walked fans across her sprawling estate located in the upmarket suburb of Vaucluse and pointed out the stunning marble floors and soaring ceilings that exuded elegance. The influencer proudly showcased the expansive kitchen, which is big enough to be a high-end restaurant, complete with professional-grade appliances, custom cabinetry, and polished marble counter tops. She then lead followers out to the private regulation-size tennis court, which featured lush greenery surrounding the area for added privacy. As Emma stepped onto the terrace, she pointed out the breathtaking view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House in the distance, which she wakes up to every morning. She also showcased the stunning master bathroom, where the sleek design and lavish finishes took centre stage. The bombshell finally took fans into the basement, where a private pool awaits - its sleek, modern design surrounded by mirrored walls and soft lighting, making it the perfect escape. Emma also exhibited her custom-built bar area, complete with plush seating and an array of top-shelf spirits. The sheer scale of the rooms makes the home feel like a luxury estate, with each space carefully curated to create an atmosphere of refined luxury. Originally from Sydney's eastern suburbs, Emma is one of the Aussie 'It' girls who often lives it up in Los Angeles. Best known for the eye-catching jewellery she designs for her eponymous brand, and her starring role on reality TV show Made in Bondi, the vivacious party girl is fast making a name for herself in business and social circles on both sides of the Pacific. The daughter of a high-profile fund manager who founded one of Sydney's most powerful investment firms alongside former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, Emma could've been forgiven for embracing the easy lifestyle of a trust-fund baby. But instead, she launched her own brand just a year after finishing high school and quickly earned her first million, while also making a name for herself as the socialite queen bee of Gen Z.

Waleed Aly issues dark warning about the future of Australian TV after the death of The Project in powerful essay he 'never wanted to write'
Waleed Aly has warned free-to-air television is 'staring into the abyss' after The Project, which he co-hosted for 14 of its 16 years, was suddenly axed. In a column for The Age newspaper - that Aly insisted he never really wanted to write - the public intellectual and TV personality warned the Network Ten show's demise was a consequence of the growing power of the tech giants. 'As a general rule, I don't commentate on my own work. My editors urged me to reconsider, then left me to it,' he wrote. 'Improbably, then, here we are. But only because there are bigger things at stake than the fate of this or that television show.' Aly noted that free-to-air TV was losing audience to streaming services but highlighted a bigger threat: that tech giants, such as Meta and Google, were collecting 'frankly unconscionable amounts of their users' personal data'. Therefore, they could target audiences with better tailored ads than TV ever could. 'That will remain so for as long as television doesn't turn the camera on you and monitor your every move,' Aly wrote. 'What has inevitably followed is a flight, not so much of audiences, but of advertisers to these tech giants. 'This, I think, is a major problem. Not because free-to-air television is uniquely precious, but because that amount of data collection in the hands of a select few tech moguls simply shouldn't be allowed to exist.' The Project co-host said the tech giants has been allowed to grow 'with no serious regulation' and governments were doing nothing to stop them. Then he took aim at artificial intelligence and how it could follow the same path as the likes of Facebook and Google - with users' intimate data used to create an 'advertising product'. Aly noted that ChatGPT's parent company OpenAI was considering incorporating advertising. Aly ended his piece warning of the 'empires' that were being built in television's place 'and precisely what will have been plundered to erect them'. Network Ten announced it will be replacing the Project with a news program, known as 10 News+, from 6pm. The news program will be hosted by Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace - both formerly of the Seven Network - and is being helmed by executive producer Daniel Sutton, a veteran Ten reporter. In an interview with Mediaweek, Mr Sutton said the new show would go deeper than the typical 6pm news fare of 'car crashes, house fires and state politics.' 'We'll go in depth on issues that affect Aussies, and get into the "why", not just the who, what and when. 'And when we break a big story, we'll have the time to explain it and dig into the detail.' 10 News+ will start Monday, June 30, on 10 and 10 Play.

Pat Cummins and Kagiso Rabada trade blows as bowlers dominate WTC final
In the build-up to the World Test Championship final, Pat Cummins's pre-match press conference took an unusual turn. 'Pat,' came the question from the floor. 'Jimmy Anderson was here yesterday watching you guys train, and he said that he rated [Kagiso] Rabada over you. I just wondered what your response to that might be?' 'Cool, no worries,' Cummins said. He was smiling, but somewhat coldly, in the fashion of Robert De Niro in The Untouchables, walking around the table of his 'frenemies' swinging his baseball bat in anticipation. On the second day, Australia's captain offered a more substantial but, in the fashion of De Niro, just as brutal a retort to that question, besting Rabada's five wickets with six, more cheaply, of his own.
