Lindsay Lohan arrives in Sydney for Freakier Friday premiere
It's Sydney turn to get caught up in the hysteria of the Freaky Friday revival.
Continuing the global press tour for the 2003 film's much-awaited sequel, Freakier Friday, Lindsay Lohan arrived at Sydney Airport ahead of Tuesday night's Australian premiere at Event Cinemas in Bondi Junction – and she was decked in top-to-toe designer gear.
The Hollywood star was spotted touching down on Monday night with her entourage, including her husband, financier Bader Shammas, and their two-year-old son Luai.

Lohan, 39, appeared in good spirits, smiling as she made her way through the terminal while wearing a Miu Miu denim jacket over her Miu Miu dress, believed to retail for $3,350 and $2,280, respectively.
She topped it off with not one but two designer bags: one Miu Miu purse worth an estimated $3,540 and a Hermès Birkin Bag, which costs at least $20,000.

Not even the gloomy weather could dampen Lohan's mood as airport staff tried to shield her from the rain with umbrellas as she exited the terminal in her Miu Miu flats, said to cost $1,570.

Lohan's co-star in the original film and now the reboot, Jamie Lee Curtis, was also spotted arriving in Sydney earlier on Monday.
The beloved star, 66, walked through the terminal while wearing a black face mask, but her designer bag and signature poise was a dead giveaway of her Hollywood status.

The sequel comes 22 years after the original film, in which single mother Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lohan) constantly bickered until a fortune cookie mishap caused them to switch lives and see things from the other's perspective.
Fans lapped up the film, which earned Disney a cool $US160.8 million worldwide, quintupling its $US30 million budget. And over the years viewers have been asking for more.
Curtis recently revealed why there was such a long wait between films in a recent interview with BBC program The One Show, revealing an Aussie link to the sequel.
Freakier Friday hits cinemas on Thursday, August 7.
The sequel features a multi-generational twist and also stars Julia Butters (left) and Sophia Hammons (right).
'The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, [but] people would ask me about the movie over and over again,' she shared.
'And finally someone in Australia said, 'Well, she is' and I was like, 'What do you mean?' because I know her as this young girl, so I don't know how old she is.'
'Someone told me [Lindsay's age] and I was, like, 'Oh! Well, maybe we can make the movie. Let's go!''
In the new film, Anna now has a daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they all try to wrap their heads around merging the two families, lightening strikes twice and they soon find themselves in a four-way switch.

South West winery Happs to honour Jake and Callum Robinson with ‘Diesel Rose' fundraiser for foundation
A South West winery has released a limited edition wine in honour of tragically slain Australian surfers Jake and Callum Robinson. The brothers were murdered along with their friend Carter Rhoad while on the trip of a lifetime in Mexico in 2024 which left family and friends completely devastated. Among them was close friend Hannah Campbell, who approached Happs Wines with the wine tribute idea. Jake in particular was a huge fan of the award-winning winery's rosé, and so the name for the limited edition – Diesel Rosé – was struck in the brothers' memory. Diesel comes from Jake's university-era nickname for the Happs rose which he considered 'fuel' for good times, long nights, and unforgettable memories, Ms Campbell recalled. 'Jake didn't just give rosé a new name, he gave it new meaning,' she said. 'He turned it into something joyful, cheeky, unforgettable. 'Now, whenever we see a glass of rosé, we think of him. We smile. We feel him there. That's the kind of impact Jake had on people – it was lasting, and it was big. 'I want his memory to live on forever, and this is one small way we can help make sure of that.' The wine goes on sale next month, with 50 per cent of proceeds going to the charitable foundation established in the brothers' name. Suzanne Pillay, daughter of the storied Quindalup winery's founders Erl and Ros Happ, said the wine was a community tribute. 'This collaboration with the Callum and Jake Robinson Foundation is about more than wine,' she said. 'It's about honouring two incredible lives and carrying their joy forward. 'Jake and Callum lived purposefully,' Ms Pillay said. 'This is our way of bottling that energy.' Happs patriarch Erl said it was unbelievably tragic to have the brothers' 'spirit of adventure' cut short in such dreadful circumstances. The Robinsons' endorsement of the Happs varietal was made all the more meaningful by the charitable work now undertaken in their name, Mr Happ said. The foundation's new Fuel for Good campaign will drive the charity's three key initiatives which include reef and coastal clean-ups, support for diabetic athletes, and helping young people access lacrosse equipment through a dedicated funding stream. Callum's legacy as a lacrosse athlete who also competed despite living with type 1 diabetes was central to the foundation's aims. Diesel Rosé launches next month from the Happs cellar door and will also be available for online orders via

Princess Mary's wild child Princess Isabella wears X-rated shirt to Smukfest music festival
Princess Mary's daughter has shocked royal watchers after being spotted at a music festival sporting an X-rated t-shirt. Princess Isabella, 18, who usually adopts a more demure appearance, was attending one of Denmark's most well known music festivals, Smukfest in Skanderborg, with her brother Crown Prince Christian and a group of friends when she was caught on camera. Princess Isabella is the second child and eldest daughter of King Frederick and his Australian-born wife Princess Mary. Her choice of clothing has come under fire from some quarters, with claims it crosses the line of decency. The black t-shirt was emblazoned with the words 'f***ed him yesterday' with an arrow pointing to the side. The top is thought to be merchandise for Danish hip hop group Suspekt, who the Princess had been watching at the festival. The trio are known for their explicit and sexual language. Jarl Cordua, a Danish political commentator, was among a number of people to register their disgust with royal's choice of attire. ''F****d him yesterday'. The rich are having a party because the second-oldest royal child let loose at a festival yesterday wearing a shirt with the aforementioned text,' he wrote on social media in response to royalist and TV presenter Jim Lyngvild who said her choice of attire was 'brilliant'. 'Not surprisingly, there are people who love that kind of thing. I'm also in favour of the royals letting loose a little. They always have. They should definitely be allowed to. BUT. There are limits.' Cordua continued: 'We'll probably live with that shirt, but I wouldn't recommend making it a habit. Being royal is an obligation. And it's probably time for someone to tell her that.' Lyngvild, who admits he was initially shocked by the t-shirt, said he soon changed his mind and called Princess Isabella's boundary-pushing fashion moment 'the best PR move for the Royal House in many years'. 'I expect a lot from her… I LOVE that our royal youngsters also have personality and courage – and don't follow the neat pleated flow,' he wrote on Facebook. 'The time of the ladies in the hat is over, Princess Isabella is in.'
