North 54, a modern Vietnamese snack bar from an emerging cooking talent, is coming to Leederville this winter
In his short yet action-packed career as a chef, Bac Pham has cooked many cuisines. He's cooked modern Australian at State Buildings' bustling Petition Kitchen. He's dabbled in Italian cucina at Swanbourne wine bar Vinotto. He's even helped advance the new-wave bowlo food movement with the Special Delivery crew at Doubleview Bowling Club. This July, Pham finally gets to focus full-time on the flavours of his heritage when he opens North 54: a fresh-faced, 25-seat eatery in Leederville serving Vietnamese food. Vietnamese food, it's worth mentioning, as viewed through the lens and life story of a Vietnamese-born, Australian-raised latecomer to the cooking game. 'It's authentic, but it's definitely not traditional [Vietnamese cooking],' says Pham. 'I'm cooking traditional recipes but not doing them the traditional way.

Tuipulotu returns from injury ahead of Lions tour
Australian-raised British and Irish Lions centre Sione Tuipulotu has made his return from injury in Glasgow Warriors' 13-5 defeat to Leinster at Dublin's Aviva Stadium. Ruled out since January with a pectoral injury, Scotland captain Tuipulotu got 40 minutes under his belt on Saturday but BKT United Rugby Championship table-toppers Leinster were victorious. The centre is set to return to Australia next month with the Lions after being included in coach Andy Farrelll's 38-player squad for the nine-match, three-Test tour. Defending champions Glasgow, who were leapfrogged by Hollywoodbets Sharks into third place, will host the DHL Stormers in two weeks' time. Lions squad members James Ryan and Tuipulotu were both back from spells on the sidelines, the latter combining with fellow Lions call-up Huw Jones in Glasgow's midfield. Tuipulotu threatened with a chip and chase during the match and his removal after 40 minutes looked a precautionary move.

Peter Andre divides fans over sweet family trip as he shares rare group snaps
Peter Andre faced more criticism as he shared a number of sweet snaps from his holiday to Abu Dhabi with his wife Emily Andre and his five children, Junior, Princess, Amelia, Theo and Arabella Peter Andre took to social media to share an array of sweet snaps from his recent family holiday. The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, was joined by wife Emily and his five kids; Junior and Princess from his marriage to Katie Price, and Amelia, Theo and Arabella with Emily. The star shared images of him with his youngest in the pool, and also a group image by the water, with the faces of his three children with Emily blocked by love heart emojis. He also uploaded shots of all his brood taking in the aquarium views. He captioned the uploads: "We had the best time at @yasisland exploring all the parks. So special to have the whole family together, there truly is something for everyone. We'll definitely be back!" However, the location choice divided the opinion of his fans. One user responded to his post: "Looks like an amazing trip but can we all agree SeaWorld is hell for animals and not go there? Thank you please. Especially our favourite celebrities with huge followings." Another pleaded with Peter: ""Please don't support SeaWorld," while a third sobbed: "I'm so sad to see you visiting SeaWorld. The cruelty around these 'entertainment' parks are obvious and you could use your platform to help end the suffering endured by highly intelligent mammals. Very disappointing." However, others ignored the criticism, with one simply saying: "Beautiful family," with a string of clapping hands and love heart emojis. Another added: "I'm obsessed with your entire family's outfit coordination here." It's not the only backlash Peter has faced recently. His new film Jafaican has faced huge criticism since the release of its trailer. The film follows Peter's character, Gary Buckle, who decides to impersonate a Jamaican gangster in order to steal his money to pay for his own grandmother's care home fees. Peter stars alongside the likes of Wil Johnson, Jamie Lomas and Oliver Samuels in the film. However, his portrayal was widely slammed on social media. He recently spoke out in defence of the project, though. As he promoted the film on Channel 7 in Australia, he explained his character's journey. He said: "He [his character] tries everything and basically comes up with this scheme because apparently Gary looks like this guy in Jamaica who happens to be ready to inherit $3 million. "So he comes up with this planning thinking 'well if I look like him, surely I could just go to Jamaica for a little bit and keep my mouth shut maybe and I'll get the money and help my nan'. And of course, that's not gonna go smoothly at all." He was asked in the interview: "The trailer did see some headlines about an English-born Australian-raised actor playing a Jamaican character, you know about that. Are you surprised there's been some mixed feedback here or were you anticipating that?" Peter responded: "Well, to be fair, I mean, I think it's good to get all sorts of feedback. I mean, this is not ... it's my first lead role but I've done quite a few roles before. And all of them, I've played different characters. "So for me, it's acting - I get to do something light-hearted, something funny. Something that y'know is the kind of film I'd wanna watch. So it's almost like a little bit self-indulgent in the sense that I get to do something that I've really, really wanted to do."

Tuipulotu and Suaalii set for re-match after two Aussies named in Lions squad
The stage has been set for a feisty re-match between Sione Tuipulotu and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii in July after the Melbourne-raised Scotland captain was named in the British and Irish Lions squad. Tuipulotu and former Brumby-turned-Ireland winger Mack Hansen became the seventh and eighth Australian-raised players to be selected as Lions on Thursday night at a grandiose team naming event in London. With coach Andy Farrell watching on at the 02 Arena, his 37-man squad was read out by Wales legend and Lions chairman Iuean Evans. The squad – which will be captained by England lock Maro Itoje – will next month embark on a nine-game tour of Australia, which is preceded by a clash with Argentina in Dublin. Players discovered the news of their Lions selections as they gathered at the clubs, with tradition dictating they don't get a phone call with the news beforehand. Ireland had the most players selected with 15, followed by England (13), Scotland (8) and Wales, who paid a price for their recent slump with just two players. That equalled the smallest ever representation, after Ireland in 1993 and Scotland in 2009 and 2017. The squad contained plenty of surprises, after months of speculation. There was no Owen Farrell and Ireland captain Caelen Doris was also left out after picking up a shoulder injury. Twenty-year-old Henry Pollock, who only has one Test cap for England, was the bolter of the squad after turning in storming for Northhampton. Marcus Smith and Elliot Daly also made the cut, but there were no spots for contenders Jamie George, Sam Prendergast, Dewi Lake, Jack Willis and George Ford. Aussie Lions
