Northern Lights May Appear Farther South Than Usual This Weekend—Here's Where
Get ready for a dazzling light show in the sky from Friday night into the weekend. The northern lights are forecast to appear over 15 states, with auroras happening farther south than usual, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Alaska has the highest chance of spotting the phenomenon, as well as Michigan and Maine—if G1 storm levels are reached, which is the lowest level of geomagnetic storm activity. But sometimes auroras can appear much farther south than predicted (or barely show up at all). If G3 levels are reached, auroras could stretch as far down as Illinois and Oregon, according to NOAA. A surprise G3 storm on May 28 triggered auroras in 17 states and even as far south as Italy. That storm had originally been forecast only to reach G1 levels. Related: You've Never Seen the Northern Lights Like This—Astronauts Share Incredible View From Space According to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, those living in Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, upper Michigan, Wisconsin, Idaho, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, South Dakota, Wyoming, Washington, and Iowa have the possibility of experiencing auroras tonight and into the weekend. The best time to view the northern lights this time of year is in the early morning hours, around 1 to 2 a.m. local time. Be sure to head to a north-facing spot away from light pollution for your best chance of spotting them. Read the original article on Martha Stewart

Even Martha Stewart was made to wait for a table at Totti's
Italians might have taught the world how to eat, but it was Martha Stewart who taught Americans how to cook. And garden. And entertain. Stewart, the OG lifestyle influencer, the United States' first female self-made billionaire, convicted felon and octogenarian social media star was on stage at Darling Harbour on Wednesday night, interviewed by writer Benjamin Law as part of Vivid Sydney. Her appearance, fresh on the heels of a hit Netflix documentary, was quite a coup for the festival which has seen its sheen dim in recent years. Lately, it's become better known for annoying crowds and price hikes now that the novelty value of 'bright lights in city' has worn off. On stage, Stewart weighed into the ongoing recipe feud between Nagi Maehashi (aka RecipeTin Eats) and TikToker Brooke Bellamy (aka Brooki Bakehouse), but wisely chose not to definitively pick a side. She also had a few words on the state of dining in Sydney, revealing that she'd eaten at Totti's Bondi, Justin Hemmes' influencer-friendly long lunch hotspot. Loading But in true Sydney fashion, Stewart had been made to wait outside for a table. The height of disrespect, in our book. Martha Stewart walked so Totti's, and its famous bread, could run. That said, Stewart did wax lyrical about said bread and the bottarga. And no other Sydney establishments got a shoutout on stage – the kind of good PR not even Hemmes' billions could buy.

Awkward moment Martha Stewart issues a snappy response when asked about Meghan Markle's 'viral' jam during trip to Australia
Martha Stewart seems to have little time for Meghan Markle. The domestic doyenne, 83, is currently Down Under and hosted an In Conversation event at the ICC in Sydney on Wednesday night. During the event, Martha was asked by journalist and author Benjamin Law for her take on the Duchess Of Sussex and her viral jams. Meghan's conserves sold through her lifestyle brand As Ever recently sent condiment fans wild, selling out within just minutes of going on sale. The Duchess' range, which included a £10.80 (AU$22.50) raspberry jam, honey and herbal teas, generated immediate demand but has failed to replenish stock since the initial sell-out. 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. Martha did not want Meghan to overshadow her big night and she quickly shut down the journalist's question. 'No, I'm not going there,' she said before segueing into a story about meeting Meghan's father-in-law King Charles. Martha's pointed shut-down comes after Meghan was accused of stealing a Martha Stewart recipe for her controversial one-pot spaghetti dish. Meghan's dish was featured in the debut episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, and foodies were quick to point out the similarities between Meghan's and Martha's dishes. Perhaps tellingly, Martha updated her 'similar' recipe for one pan pasta a month before the premiere of Meghan's Netflix series. While the ingredients and method remained the same, Martha updated the recipe description to read: 'The original and the best' causing many fans to suggest it was a pointed comment at Meghan. Referencing Martha updating her recipe, Danny added: 'Did Martha know something? I mean she is very powerful, but I'm putting her recipe to the test to see how it compares.' Danny, almost instantly, put paid to claims of culinary chicanery on Meghan's part, noting the differing ingredients in the two recipes. 'Just off the bat the recipes have a lot of differences,' Danny said. 'Meghan uses a lot of greens... she also uses lemon, but they both use a similar one-pot method.' Danny suggested that perhaps Meghan had used Martha's recipe as inspiration for her one-pot dish. 'Every recipe is built on other recipes,' he said. It was a similar sentiment shared by Martha at her Sydney event on Wednesday, as she weighed in on the recent RecipeTin Eats plagiarism scandal that saw Brooke Bellamy accused of copying the recipes of fellow Australian cook Nagi Maehashi. 'I have so many recipes and it's hard to develop a recipe without having a repertoire behind it,' she told the audience. 'I don't think too many recipes are owned by anybody, they are handed down, used and changed.' However, Martha claimed that it can be considered plagiarism if a recipe is 'copied word for word'. 'If you print somebody else's recipe word for word in your own cookbook then it might be plagiarism but I think it's very hard to prove who actually came up with that recipe,' she continued. 'So unless they are word for word, you can't say they're yours.' Martha's Megan shut down is not the first time she has taken a not-so-subtle swipe at the Duchess. Back in April, Martha was quizzed about Meghan's Netflix series and the kitchen icon claimed she didn't even know it was out. Often seen as the 'original influencer', Martha was quickly compared to Meghan when her 'domestic goddess' TV series was announced - with people even saying she was 'entering her Martha Stewart era'. But when she was asked about what she really thinks about Meghan's show during an appearance on Access Hollywood, Martha appeared blissfully unaware - and seemingly knew nothing about it. 'I have not seen the show yet!' she confessed. 'So, has it started?' With Love, Meghan came to Netflix in March after it was initially postponed from January due to the LA wildfires. Martha, who was sentenced to five months in federal prison for fraud, is seen as the 'original influencer', known for her impeccable taste in cooking, gardening, and home decor. She rose to fame following the launch of her books on cooking, entertaining and decorating before getting her own TV show.

Martha Stewart's VERY interesting take on the RecipeTin Eats scandal after founder Nagi Maehashi accused baker Brooke Bellamy of plagiarism
Martha Stewart has weighed in on the RecipeTin Eats plagiarism scandal after Brooke Bellamy was accused of copying the recipes of fellow Australian cook Nagi Maehashi. The celebrity chef, 83, said during her live event at Sydney 's ICC on Wednesday night that it is hard to prove a recipe is copied. 'I have so many recipes and it's hard to develop a recipe without having a repertoire behind it,' she told the audience. 'I don't think too many recipes are owned by anybody, they are handed down, used and changed.' However, Martha claimed that it can be considered plagiarism if a recipe is 'copied word for word'.

'If you print somebody else's recipe word for word in your own cookbook then it might be plagiarism but I think it's very hard to prove who actually came up with that recipe,' she continued. 'So unless they are word for word, you can't say they're yours.' It comes after a second author accused social media cooking sensation Brooke of stealing recipes for her bestselling cookbook Bake With Brooki. Hours after RecipeTin Eats' Nagi raised allegations of copyright infringement last month, Sally McKenney, the US author and blogger behind Sally's Baking Addiction, also levelled claims. Bellamy, who owns the popular Brooki Bakehouse in Brisbane, denied the accusations, saying she had been making and selling her recipes well before Maehashi's were published. The allegations relate to Maehashi's caramel slice and baklava recipe, along with McKenney's Best Vanilla Cake recipe. McKenney posted on social media, saying she was first alerted to the similarity months ago. She said her recipe was first published in 2019. 'One of my recipes was also plagiarised in this book and also appears on the author's YouTube channel,' she said. 'Original recipe creators who put in the work to develop and test recipes deserve credit - especially in a best selling cookbook.' Bake With Brooki is a bestselling cookbook published by Penguin in October last year and retails for $49.99. Bellamy quickly became a global sensation after sharing videos on TikTok, which receive millions of views each day. She is best known for her cookies and has opened pop-up stores in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Both Penguin and Bellamy deny the allegations. 'I did not plagiarise any recipes in my book which consists of 100 recipes I have created over many years,' she said. 'In 2016, I opened my first bakery. I have been creating my recipes and selling them commercially since October 2016.' Bellamy posted an image showing her caramel slice, which dated back to December, 2016. 'On March 2020, RecipeTin Eats published a recipe for caramel slice. It uses the same ingredients as my recipe, which I have been making and selling since four years prior,' she said. While the Brisbane baker insisted she did not copy the recipes, she 'immediately offered' to remove both from future reprints to prevent further aggravation'. In Maehashi's Instagram post, she described Bellamy of 'profiting' from the alleged plagiarised recipes. Maehashi claims she first raised concerns with Penguin in December. 'I put a huge amount of effort into my recipes. And I share them on my website for anyone to use for free,' she said. 'To see them plagiarised (in my view) and used in a book for profit, without credit, doesn't just feel unfair. It feels like a blatant exploitation of my work.' Maehashi is the founder of popular website, RecipeTin Eats, which has 1.5 million followers on Instagram. She is also the author of award-winning cookbooks Dinner and Tonight.

Billionaire lifestyle trailblazer lights up festival
America's first self-made female billionaire - often hailed as the original global influencer - Martha Stewart has hit the stage at Sydney's Vivid festival. The home-making icon has had an extremely full life, including publishing more than 100 books, hosting Emmy award-winning television shows and running a successful e-commerce business. In the early 2000s she faced a five-month stint behind bars after being convicted of conspiracy, obstruction and lying to federal investigators, although she maintains her innocence. At 83 years old, Stewart is showing no signs of slowing down. Appearing as part of Vivid's Global Storyteller series in conversation with Benjamin Law, she reflected on her extraordinary career, personal brand and love for home-making and design. Stewart spoke about some of her most memorable moments in popular culture and how she has stayed relevant for more than 40 years. She last visited Australia for a family holiday in 2019, but said she was looking forward to exploring Sydney.
