Aussie actress and model Isabelle Cornish impales herself on fence in freak accident
The 30-year-old Puberty Blues star took to social media to update fans as she recovers from the terrifying incident, which left her with a stab wound to the abdomen and a badly cut hand.
"I tried to get over a fence like this, slipped and got a stake to the right upper abdomen, pulled myself off the stake with my hand and sliced my hand open," Cornish wrote on Instagram Stories.
"Few days in the hospital, tests, stitches, some internal bleeding that stopped, my lungs back to normal size and liver ok all good," she added, sharing a photo of herself in hospital, her wounds clearly visible.
Cornish also posted an image of her heavily bandaged hand, noting that surgery has been delayed until the weekend.
"Moral of the story do not mess around with those stake fences… They are no joke," she told followers.
Raised in the Hunter Valley, Cornish first rose to fame in 2012 with a breakout role on Home and Away, before going on to star in films such as Sea of Fire and Australia Day.
She also appeared in the Marvel series Inhumans and features in season two of Nine Perfect Strangers, which premieres May 21.
Isabelle's older sister, Abbie Cornish, is also an acclaimed actress, best known for her performances in Somersault, Bright Star and Sucker Punch.
Outside of acting, Abbie also raps under the name Dusk.
In 2021, Isabelle competed on the second season of SAS Australia, though she was forced to withdraw early due to injury.
"I'd actually broken my right hip, the femoral neck of my right hip," she told Yahoo Lifestyle at the time.
"I hurt myself on day three (of the course) and then I just kept going and going, I absolutely love doing challenges like that."
That same year, Cornish was working on her wellness book The Why: Healthy Habits For An Epic Life, which was published in 2022.
"The Why is a no bulls**t health and wellness guidebook," she explained.
"A lot of the health industry is overcomplicated and OTT (over the top), and my beliefs aren't about, you know, eating kale and going for a run.
"It's all about positivity and how a compassionate relationship with the self can help the reader through all of life's ups and downs."
SAS instructor Mark 'Billy' Billingham wrote a glowing testimonial for the book's cover: "Isabelle Cornish is living proof that you can always bounce back and find the strength to go further."
In addition to acting and writing, Cornish is a certified yoga teacher, personal trainer and health coach.
She currently lives in the Byron Bay hinterland on a macadamia farm.

Boxing: Nikita Tszyu wins comeback fight against Lulzim Ismaili, undefeated, live updates, full card
Nikita Tszyu has wasted little time celebrating his return to the ring, ending his comeback fight against Lulzim Ismaili after just one round. The son of Kostya and younger brother of Tim, the promising Nikita Tszyu had a 10-0 record entering Wednesday night in his three-year professional boxing career. Nikita Tszyu vs Lulzim Ismaili | Wednesday 20 August 7PM AEST | Order this PPV event now with Main Event on Kayo Sports. He took on previously undefeated Macedonian Ismaili (12-1) in a super welterweight bout at Sydney's ICC Exhibition Centre as the Aussie tested out his surgically repaired left hand for the first time in 12 months. The 27-year-old showed few issues, however, as he dropped Ismaili with a huge left hand just over a minute into the first round. Ismaili seemed to want nothing to do with Tszyu's power, surviving the first round but then refusing to get off his stool to start the second.

Picture: Thomas Lisson The Tszyu family is among the most revered in Aussie boxing history, although Tim Tszyu and his camp have received some flak after he lost his world title and has fallen short in three of his past four fights. Nikita had a message for the haters shortly after his victory. 'Thank you to my team for always being there number one,' he said. 'They've copped a lot of criticism with my brother's recent fights, but we're here til the end. 'This is my family.'

(Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty Images) Tszyu, who goes by the ring name 'The Butcher', demonstrated in the build-up to his first fight since August last year he is a unique character, even among boxers. Tszyu raised plenty of eyebrows when he revealed his wife's placenta in capsule form and breast milk were part of his pre-fight diet. Whatever his approach, it appears to be having the desired effect as he took another step forward in his young career. Michael Zerafa also looked strong as he dominated his fight against American Mikey Dahlman, setting up a potential showdown with Nikita Tszyu in the future. Brock Jarvis also overcame a slow start to also get back on the winner's list following his brutal defeat to Keith Thurman earlier this year. Check out how the big night of boxing unfolded below.

Keith Urban charms on Aussie leg of his High and Alive world tour
If there's one place you don't expect to see a purple unicorn, it's front row in a Keith Urban concert. Excitement was high for the Caboolture-raised country-rock king's gig in Wollongong on Wednesday, August 20, and from the second the show opened, he didn't disappoint. Urban is effortlessly charming, his guitar skills are super impressive, and his appeal to generations of country music fans is the stuff of legends. Roslyn Malloy, who calls herself Crazy Ros, is a massive fan of Urban and the Wollongong gig is one of five shows the Sydney woman will go to during his nine-date Aussie tour. "Tonight is the ninth time I've seen him all up," she said as she held a massive 'Crazy Ros' sign. "He's amazing, he's my happy pill." Crazy Ros is such a fan that she's met Urban three times in the past, and during the Wollongong gig he called out "Crazy Ros, how are you" from the stage when he spotted her. At the front of the crowd, as Urban, a five-time ARIA and four-time Grammy Award winner, hit the stage, was Sydney man Gabriel Orr dressed as a purple unicorn. "This is the first time I've seen Keith, and whenever there's a concert, I'll be the unicorn," he said. Mr Orr is the same purple unicorn who got pulled up out of the crowd during Coldplay's Sydney concert in late 2024 to dance with singer Chris Martin. A couple of songs into the gig and Urban pauses to chat with the audience, "Nice to be back, it's been a few years," he said to screaming crowds. "This is my mission statement Wollongong, and I'm going to check in at the end of the night to see if I've delivered," he said. "It's two-plus hours and I'm going to make sure that none of you think of your life outside of here tonight ... it' your night tonight, just have a friggin' good night." Click on the photo to see more pictures. Crowds sang along to songs Straight Line, Messed Up as Me and Go Home W U from his new album High. There were also Urban classics from past albums and a few covers during the gig. At one point, he got off the main stage, walked through the crowd to a smaller stage at the back of the dance floor to play a few songs, including a cover of Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club. At the end of the acoustic set on the tiny stage, he grabbed out a texta from his pocket, signed his guitar and handed it over to an ecstatic fan to keep. His final song of the night, another cover, was The Angels' Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again which, much to his amusement, had a huge audience response. The crowd was filled with generations of fans, including 11-year-old Kate Clark from Canberra, who was at the show with her mum and grandmother. Another mum and daughter duo, Heidi Rigby and Emily Skrtic from Coniston, gushed with praise about Urban. "I've been a fan since I was 11 years old. I love his singing, his looks, the way he sings ... he's just perfect," Emily said. The love was returned from Urban, who was instantly engaging and often crouched down to chat to fans and high-five their hands. For a first-time Keith Urban attendee, I'm a convert. This show is a must-see, don't miss him before he leaves Australia. Shows remain in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. More information can be found on his website.

OnlyFans star Annie Knight, dubbed ‘Australia's most sexually active woman', reveals huge net worth
OnlyFans star Annie Knight has revealed just how lucrative her career has become, announcing her staggering net worth. Dubbed 'Australia's most sexually active woman', the 28‑year‑old took to Instagram on Thursday to tell fans that in 2020 she had just $1200 to her name. Five years later, Ms Knight claims to be worth a staggering $5.2 million. The adult content creator said that cosmetic tweaks helped boost her confidence. 'A nose job and a bit of filler can go a long way,' she laughed. Ms Knight has previously revealed she earns about $300,000 per month, or more than $3.5m each year, from her explicit content and outrageous stunts. In June 2025, she slept with 583 men in six hours to make content for her OnlyFans audience. Ms Knight told The Nightly that when she decided to host the Gold Coast gang-bang, she expected about 200 men to show up. Instead, almost 600 Aussie blokes — wearing joggers and gym clothes — lined up around the block for just 30 seconds of intimacy with the glamorous porn star. The tightly-orchestrated event, which a 'grateful' Knight described as 'the best day of my life', tripled her income, which skyrocketed to more than $7 million a year. 'It was such an amazing experience. I had a lot of fun,' she said. 'It was definitely sexually arousing and satisfying. Obviously not every guy made me finish, but six guys did, which I think is pretty good considering they didn't have much time. 'It was my biggest fantasy but also great publicity and marketing. It really was a win win win.' Ms Knight calls these challenges, and her OnlyFans career, 'empowering'. 'I'm doing what I want to do with my body. I choose to do this. I'm going to earn money from it. I'm not being forced into it. I enjoy what I'm doing,' she said. Her income update comes just weeks after the adult star splurged $2.7 million on what she called her 'dream home' in Queensland. The four‑bedroom property boasts a pool and large backyard and marks a major step up from her previous $1.37 million Gold Coast acreage, which is now up for auction. 'I bought the house of my dreams that doesn't need any renovating,' Knight told 'When I say this is my dream home I mean it. It is so, so perfect, so much space, huge backyard, a pool.' She said the decision to sell her earlier purchase was simple. 'I decided to sell the home I bought last year,' Knight said. 'As an investment property, it just didn't make sense.' Knight is also looking ahead in her personal life, after getting engaged to longtime friend Henry Brayshaw in March. The pair had rekindled their relationship just a week before he proposed over dinner in Beverly Hills during a Los Angeles getaway. While Ms Knight became close with UK adult entertainer Bonnie Blue in 2024, when they campaigned for 'barely legal 18-year-olds to sleep with them at Schoolies on the Gold Coast. 'It started last year at Schoolies in November on the Gold Coast,' Ms Blue told Perth Now. 'At the time I lived there, I was fully aware that loads of late teens were going to be there, and loads of them were messaging me like, 'Hey, we want to film with you. Hey, you know, can we make a video?'' Initially resisting their advances due to a lack of industry credentials, Blue quickly changed her tune upon realising there was an abundance of 'schoolgirl content' online, but little of the inverse. 'I was like, as a female, why don't I do it as the guys are the school boys and I'm the older one, because it's worked so well the other way around, and no one has done it and flipped the roles,' she said. 'And I think within like 24 hours, it was on the news and money was spiking.' Blue had been an active OnlyFans content creator for just six months at the time, and a year later has amassed an audience yield a staggering £600,000 (1.2 million AUD) per month in revenue. Recruiting local pal Annie Knight as her wing-woman this year, Blue's visa was cancelled by the Australian Government following her public call-out to Aussie teens whom she invited to collaborate with her. A petition signed by thousands of 'judgmental Karens' in early November opposing her proposed actions put pressure on the Government to intervene.
