Tori Spelling shares ex's sex fantasy that creeped her out
Tori Spelling engaged in a spicy Q&A with her MisSPELLING fans in Monday's podcast episode. In the latest installment, cheekily titled Miss TMI, the 52-year-old star shared a shocking detail about her sex life with ex-husband Dean McDermott, 58. The former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress dished that her ex had a crush on her years before they met, and used to hurry home to watch her on TV. And when they were married she said she indulged him by briefly reviving her character Donna Martin. She detailed, 'At some point during one of our sessions, during sex, he said, "Oh, my little Donna Martin."' In response, she said, 'I might have giggled back like Donna.' She prefaced the anecdote by telling listeners, 'Dean, my ex, when we met, he was telling me that he had a big crush on me. 'He would always have his hockey game with all his buddies on Wednesday night, and he would always get out of there early. They'd be in the locker room [saying], "You gotta go home and see your girlfriend." 'He was like, "Yeah, no shame. I'm a guy watching 90210 and I have a crush on Tori Spelling."' The mother-of-five — who shares Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, eight, with her ex — said she wasn't sure if Dean was was hyping up the crush just to flatter her until the intimate moment. 'I always thought, "Are you just making that up to get with me?" But, no,' she said in hindsight. Despite playing along with her then-husband's fantasy, Tori admitted, 'If I [were] intimate with a man and he was like, "Will you role-play, like you act like Donna Martin?" that would really creep me out.' She filed for divorce from the Chopped Canada host on March 29, 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. The date of separation was listed as June 17, 2023. Spelling and McDermott tied the knot in 2006, but the final years of their marriage turned tumultuous, which Dean has taken responsibility for. 'All Tori's ever done, to this day, is want me to be happy and healthy and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman,' he admitted to in November 2023. 'I'm taking accountability for that today. And it's the biggest amend that I'm ever going to have to make,' he added. Spelling reignited her romance with advertising CEO Ryan Cramer in April. It came after she said on her podcast that she doesn't want to 'die alone,' during a tear-filled chat with guest Audrey O'Day. She cried at the time, 'I'm now 51 and single again with five kids, so I don't even know where I stand in the future. I don't want to be with somebody, but I do want to be. I just don't want to be alone.'

Bride's secret weapon: I lost 20kg in nine months after years of over-eating - here's the exact diet I follow to keep it off for good
A young woman has shared how she shed an impressive 20kg in the nine months before her dream wedding - before losing a further 15 and keeping it off for good. Bella Moro, a Sydney entrepreneur, had struggled with her weight and relationship with food since she was 12 and spiralled through seemingly endless cycles of obsessive dieting, binge eating and self-hate. Despite being an active, self-confessed 'tomboy' as a tween, when Bella hit puberty her weight ballooned and she was diagnosed with insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes. This kicked off a carousel of medical appointments, diets, naturopaths and food restrictions, all while dealing with severe hormonal acne and plummeting self-esteem. Growing up in an Italian household, Bella was met with a conflict: food was both a passion and a daily battleground. 'Everything revolved around pasta, bread and potatoes. I had to tell my mum to stop cooking for me at one point because I was trying to take control of my health,' Bella told FEMAIL. 'At family events people would shove food in my face and saying no felt like I was doing something wrong.' Despite periods of significant weight loss over the years, by the end of 2022, when Bella was 24, she tipped the scales at 85kg - her heaviest weight yet and one deemed unhealthy for her petite frame. Before and after: A young woman has shared how she shed an impressive 20kg in the nine months before her dream wedding - before losing a further 15 and keeping it off for good She no longer recognised herself and knew it was time to make a change. 'I was the biggest I had ever been in my life, I put off my wedding and I knew if I didn't do something drastic I wouldn't walk down the aisle or have my dream of being a mum one day,' she said. 'All I could think about was my next meal, I couldn't control my hunger and my thoughts. It was always about the next meal, all I would crave was carbs and I was never full. 'I could eat a whole meal and be hungry an hour later and the weight just kept stacking on. It was mind numbing, I could barely focus on anything else in my life and it was affecting my relationship and my business.' It was on a trip to Port Douglas with her sister that she made a life-changing decision. Her sister had just undergone a gastric sleeve surgery, had found love and was absolutely glowing with confidence. 'I want some of that,' she recalled saying at the time. Within a week she'd quit her $100,000 a year job, booked gastric sleeve surgery for herself and started plans for a total life overhaul - including launching a new dog care business born out of her side hustle. The surgery was a success but her recovery encompassed physical, mental, and emotional aspects. For the first three months post-surgery, she had to relearn how to eat as she progressed from liquid meals to toddler-sized purées, before eventually reintroducing solid food. For the first time in her life, her body rejected processed food and sugar, triggering physical reactions when she tried to overeat. Her portion sizes shrank. So did the inner noise. 'The surgery created a clear physical feedback loop - overeating or eating certain foods (like cake or processed snacks) led to sickness or a sugar rush,' Bella explained. 'This has resulted in greater awareness and control over my food choices and quantity.' As for why Bella chose this route over weight loss injections like Ozempic and Mounjaro? 'This was a permanent solution after years of unsuccessful diets and quick fixes,' she said. 'I wanted a lasting change without reliance on medication and I'd received referrals and encouragement from others who had the procedure which played a large role in my decision.' Nine months later, Bella walked down the aisle at her dream wedding 20kg lighter. 'I definitely felt and looked my absolute best. It was extra special as well because I was able to fit into my mum's wedding dress that I got redone from the 90s to be more modern,' she said. 'I look back on the photos and the wedding video captured and absolutely love every single one of them because I loved the way that I looked; without the surgery I definitely don't think I would have walked down the aisle that year or maybe ever at all.' By the one year mark post-surgery, she had lost over 30kg. Shortly after the wedding she achieved another of her dreams with the birth of a healthy baby boy; she gained 15kg during pregnancy and again managed to lose the weight with ease. 'The weight started to fall off in those first few weeks postpartum, but I was also mindful not to fall into old habits,' she said. 'I focused on fuelling my body properly, moving it daily with walks, and getting back into work which brought structure, joy, and purpose back into my life.' Her confidence had skyrocketed. She started showing up on camera, proudly becoming the face of her brand MyCavoodle - her side hustle turned boutique dog product business that now turns over an incredible $1.1million annually. Despite being kept busy as a mum and entrepreneur, Bella has kept the weight off and is fitter and healthier than ever before. 'I used to binge eat out of boredom or stress - constantly clock-watching in corporate,' she said. 'Now I'm running a business I'm obsessed with, juggling a baby, and barely have time to sit down, let alone overeat.' Her diet now focuses on whole foods, high-protein meals, and fresh fruit and vegetables. She also avoids packaged and processed foods, saying they taste like 'poison'. 'Your body will tell you when you've had enough - you just have to listen. That voice in your head saying "put the fork down"? That's the one I follow now,' she said. In terms of exercise, Bella swears by long walks. Prior to surgery, Bella exercised much more, including gym sessions and high daily step counts. Now, dietary habits and portion control are her main focus. And to those who might claim she 'cheated' with her decision to undergo gastric sleeve surgery? 'That's okay. I'm at peace with people thinking that because I know how much it's drastically helped me and changed my life for the better... I don't really care what other people think anymore,' she said. 'I'm just happy my life isn't controlled by what I put in my mouth and that I'm not constantly thinking about food 24/7. There's not just one way to lose weight. Everyone has to figure out what works best for them.' Bella's diet before Morning: Breakfast consisted mainly of processed carbs such as cereals or multiple slices of Italian bread, often topped with butter or Nutella. Occasionally oats or toast were included Mid-morning snacks: Frequent snacking on processed foods like chips, chocolates, lollies or fruit. Snacks were picked up or brought in Lunch: Typically more carbs with sandwiches, processed foods from the canteen (such as nuggets), or takeaway options. Sometimes it included salad, but there was often a desire to snack even after lunch. Office events could mean pizza or chips too Afternoon snacks: Continued snacking on chips, chocolates, lollies, ice cream, or other processed foods Dinner: Family meals were carb-heavy, including potatoes, schnitzel, pasta, lasagna, or chicken and chips. Portions tended to be large, and she often ate the same amount as other family members Evening: Occasional late snacks, especially during COVID Bella's diet now Morning: Breakfast is now lighter and usually delayed. The day often begins with coffee rather than food followed by protein in the form of eggs, bacon, mushrooms, avocado -with maybe a small slice of toast Mid-morning snacks: Snacking is now rare. Busy routines mean sometimes forgetting to eat, and there's little urge to snack between meals. Lunch: Lunch is often made up of leftovers, with a continued emphasis on protein. Portion sizes are far smaller than before. Carbs such as pasta, risotto, or pizza are still included occasionally, but in moderation (e.g., only eating a quarter of a pizza) Afternoon snacks: Rarely snacks in the afternoon. The focus is on main meals not mindless eating Dinner: Meals are still varied but much more controlled in portion size. The emphasis is on protein (meat and vegetables) rather than carbs, and there's a conscious effort to avoid overeating. Evening: Evening eating is minimal and not a regular habit For Bella, what worked best was a method that would allow her to stay healthy without intense gym routines, early mornings or stressful schedules. 'You see a lot of people who preach getting up at 5am and being in the gym lifting heavy weights and only eating dry chicken rice and beans and that's great for people without any responsibilities besides themselves,' she said. 'But what about the women at home who have babies, a household and a business to run and can't just wake up and leave to go to the gym in the morning to exercise?' Now an advocate for doing whatever possible to be 'your best self', Bella hopes to inspire Aussies to make the hard decisions and put themselves first - even if the road ahead looks a little scary. 'Everything has changed. I love the way I look, I've had a healthy pregnancy, become a first-time mum, and built a million-dollar business, all within two years,' she said. 'When I was in survival mode, constantly tired, emotionally eating, and avoiding the mirror, I became lazy in other areas too. But when I started backing myself, doing the inner work, and treating my body with respect, everything changed. 'I've healed a lot of my relationship with food, people around me, my body, myself and my identity. I'm no longer scared to stand up for myself and my beliefs around food and I no longer hide behind baggy clothes or avoid photos. 'I feel strong, focused, and finally at peace with who I am.'

Crappy two-bedroom home sells for $8million in Sydney
A crappy two-bedroom home has been sold for more than $8million in Sydney. But it's not the home buyers were interested - with the 676 sqm block could house 14 apartments, a pub, a fitness centre or a daycare. The 16 Walker Street home in Rhodes, 12km west of the Sydney CBD, attracted a crowd of 150 to Saturday's auction which got competitive. 'We thought it would go for between $7milllion and $7.5million and the important thing was we got a really good price,' selling agent Vanessa Kim told Daily Mail Australia. 'There were so many buyers there, but it was a bit like hide-and-seek among them in the crowd. 'It was the only house like that in the street so it was a lonely project but we sold it for an unbelievable price.' The bids started at $6million and went up in increments of $25,000 and $20,000 to $7.2million. It went up in $10,000 bids to $8million, before eventually being sold for $8,150,000. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom property was the last freestanding home on a street filled with high-rise apartments. Ms Kim, who is an award-winning real estate agent at Strathfield Partners, gave the owners a key piece of advice to ensure the bidding became more competitive. 'It's a winter market which means there's not as many properties on the market but I mentioned to the owner that the best time was to sell was in the winter,' she said. 'There's not so many properties on the market but in spring it's flooded. When there's too many properties on the market, people have a lot of choices. 'I said to the old owner, "you must sell in winter and we'll get a top dollar".' The demanding owner was hoping to get $9million however as an $8million reserve was set. 'It's not a normal house, it has a lot of potential,' Ms Kim said. 'We had several inquiries for a lot of future development.' The home last sold in 2017 for $978,000 and before that, it was bought for $1.7million in 2012. The property is so old that it still has a small outhouse in the backyard, but it has had some work done to it. Developers have had their eyes on the property for some time now as it sat squashed in between high-rise buildings. In 2022, it was leased for $900 per week and at the time the elderly owner refused to sell her humble home to developers for less than $20million – even while neighbours labelled her home an eyesore. She had reportedly fought against property giant Billbergia, who started construction on Rhodes Central a few years prior, to stop building unit blocks around her property. It is understood she lost that bid.

Alligator Alcatraz boss exposes woke Democrats' false claims about migrant detention center conditions
A Florida official overseeing Alligator Alcatraz has exposed Democrats for lying about the detention center to make conditions seem worse than they actually are. The detention center has been subjected to fierce criticism since it opened its doors on July 1 and began accepting inmates two days later. President Donald Trump toured the facility, which is deep in the Florida Everglades and surrounded by alligators, on July 1 alongside Governor Ron DeSantis and Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem, boasting: 'It might be as good as the real Alcatraz.' Two weeks later, a group of Democrats were granted access to tour the newly constructed grounds, and lamented the tough conditions migrants housed there will face. Florida Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz compared the facility to an internment camp and insisted 'there are really disturbing, vile conditions,' demanding the 'place be shut the hell down.' But now, Kevin Guthrie, from the Florida division of Emergency Management, has rubbished the Democrats' concerns in an interview with Jesse Watters on Fox. He said one critic 'had an infrared thermometer that they actually pointed at a lightbulb and it was 110C.' Guthrie said he suggested they 'pull that down' to gauge the actual temperature and suggested it was an attempt to make the facility appear hotter than it actually is. Another criticism from the Democrat tour guests that Guthrie drew attention to was the state of the food. 'That might be one of my favorites,' he said. 'Number one it was a grey turkey sandwich. She was about 6ft away from the turkey sandwich box in a wrapper, I'm not sure how she could tell it was grey.' Guthrie said 'individuals who go to a hospital, individuals that get Michelle Obama's lunches are getting the exact same thing.' He criticized Wasserman Schultz for 'then turning around and asking if they want second portions, can they come and get it? It's either grey and too nasty to eat or it's okay and can I get a second helping.' During his impassioned speech, Guthrie railed against criticism of the plumbing and toilet facilities, noting it is 'a standard mock up toilet system in any secure facility.' 'We meet and exceed the national standard or Florida standard, whatever is the higher level,' he insisted. His comments were on the back of Wasserman Schult' criticism, during which she insisted: 'This place is a stunt, and they're abusing human beings here.' According to lawmakers on the tour, more than 30 migrants were packed into cage-style cells with just three combination sink-toilets. Temperatures hovered in the mid-80s inside medical intake tents. Detainees have reported worms in the food, overflowing toilets, and 24-hour lockdowns in cages teeming with mosquitoes. Trump has vowed the facility will 'house some of the most menacing migrants, the most vicious people on the planet. We're surrounded by miles of swamp land and the only way out is deportation.' He said he'd like to see similar facilities in 'many states,' adding Florida would getting a second one 'and probably a couple more.' 'The incredible thing is picking the site because the site was one of the most natural sites. It might be as good as the real Alcatraz. Well, that's a spooky one too. That's a tough site. So I really think it could last as long as they want to have,' he said. The president noted that 'I couldn't care less' that the facilities were controversial. Trump looked visibly pleased with the setup during his tour, observing stacks of bunk beds behind chain-linked fencing inside an air conditioned tent in a Florida swamp. The president said any migrant being processed into the facility who wanted to return to their home country would be allowed to do so. The controversial detention facility was spearheaded by Florida Republican leaders and garnered its nickname due to its location: it sits about 37 miles from Miami in the middle of a swamp surrounded by snakes and alligators — and in an area of the state that is prone to hurricanes. The $450 million-per-year detention facility, which will be able to hold up to 3,000 undocumented immigrants, was built in just seven days. It sits next to an 11,000 foot airstrip. DeSantis said the runway there can be used to quickly fly undocumented immigrants to third countries if deportation is deemed appropriate. 'You literally drive them 2,000 feet, put them on a plane and then they're gone,' DeSantis said. The center has 1,000 people staffing it and is surrounded by security cameras. The Florida National Guard will mobilize roughly 100 troops to help with the facility. With the migrants housed in tents and trailers, they are surrounded thousands of alligators, along with non-indigenous predators like pythons and a family of panthers. An alligator was spotted swimming near the detention center ahead of Trump's arrival. It comes as Trump continues his crackdown on illegal migration, issuing a cutthroat new order which could see migrants deported to a third-country location as little as six hours after being given notice. Todd Lyons, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and a top Trump administration lieutenant, issued a directive to agency staff on Wednesday, July 9, outlining the direction of deportations moving forward. The Department of Homeland Security stoked fear with an AI-generated meme showing snarling alligators in ICE baseball caps patrolling the swampy grounds of the future facility dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz' He said migrants could be deported to a 'third country' with as little as six hours notice 'in exigent circumstances' – so long as the person had been given an opportunity to speak with an attorney. Generally, an illegal immigrant will be given 24 hours notice before they are sent to a country other than their homeland. The memo states that migrants could be sent to nations that have pledged not to persecute or torture them 'without the need for further procedures.' The United States has sent hundreds of migrants to Costa Rica, El Salvador and Panama, while South Sudan recently accepted eight third–country deportees. These deportees were from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Sudan and Vietnam. Rwanda is reportedly in talks to begin accepting third–country deportees, but human rights advocates have raised concerns over sending migrants to countries where they have no ties or that may have a history of rights violations. The administration last week urged officials from five African nations – Liberia, Senegal, Guinea–Bissau, Mauritania and Gabon – to accept deportees. The Supreme Court in June lifted a lower court's order limiting such deportations without a screening for fear of persecution in the destination country. The administration argues the third country deportations will help swiftly remove migrants who should not be in the US, including those with criminal convictions.

Would you be happy for your gran to eat this? Disturbing 'slop' photo from Aussie aged care home sparks uproar - with a celebrity coming under fire
A nauseating photo of a processed meal served at a major Australian aged care facility has sparked uproar. The meal, described as 'abhorrent' with an 'off-putting odour', featured a white blob of what appeared to be reconstituted potato alongside pureed green and brown mounds. LinkedIn user Denise Abrahams shared the image to social media, claiming the quality of the food left a visitor to an unnamed residential facility run by a major commercial aged care provider 'shocked'. Given the scene, Ms Abrahams questioned the effectiveness of taxpayer-funded nutrition programs such as those offered by the Maggie Beer Foundation - the charity started by the celebrity chef to improve food in aged care. 'I was annoyed that this still exists in light of the many millions paid to Maggie Beer to solve the problem of getting fresh, nutritious food served in facilities and other claimed initiatives by government for this purpose,' she posted. Hundreds weighed in on the controversy, with many calling the quality of the food a national disgrace. Some labelled the meal 'inhumane', while others accused aged care providers of putting profit before people. 'This is absolutely unacceptable,' said one. 'We are talking about feeding the most vulnerable members of our communities, our elders, and this is what's being served. 'A chemically processed, nutritionally empty plate that wouldn't pass in a school cafeteria, let alone a residential care facility. 'If we wouldn't serve this to our kids or our pets, why are we giving it to our elders under the guise of care?' Be Fit Food owner Kate Save said the problem with most aged care facilities was the budget allocated to meals rarely met the needs of residents. However, another person argued that while he wasn't excusing the poor quality of the food pictured, some people in aged care had dysphagia and other eating disorders that required food to be a mushy consistency. 'Anglicare has a food factory where they actually spend a lot of effort crafting and trialling to produce 'interesting' food to meet this need,' he said. A government aged care sector performance report released this month identified food and nutrition as a top three risk area for the industry. Between January and March 2025 staff from the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission visited 88 dining rooms across Australia to monitor the dining experience of people receiving care at those services. The most common issue was staff incorrectly preparing or providing texture-modified food and thickened fluids. It found the poor quality of meals was considered a result of 'cost-cutting' measures in place within the service and the need to source cheaper ingredients. There were also concerns that resident nutritional plans were not followed and contributed to weight loss amongst residents due to insufficient food quantities and inadequate nutrition. The Commission has established a Food, Nutrition and Dining Advisory Support Unit and hotline to help aged care staff and providers to deliver higher quality and more nutritious meals to people in aged care. In 2025, an impact report from Maggie Beer's foundation claimed the program had improved food standards for 9000 aged care residents, employed 13 chef trainers nationwide, and conducted 157 menu appraisals over the past decade. But with more than 200,000 Australians living in aged care, critics say the reach is still limited. A survey commissioned by the foundation and conducted by Flinders University's Aged Care Food and Nutrition Research Team found just 67 per cent of aged care residents were satisfied with the food they received.
