But one mother who won’t be getting any love from Aussies is Sharon Osboure, who is now under the pump down under after calling Australians smug.

TV celebrity made headlines here recently for apparently hating singer Dannii Minogue, but now she has criticized all citizens in our shores.

The louder-than-life whiney Pom had an outburst during an episode of the US version of The Celebrity Apprentice, where she urged host Donald Trump to fire an Australian contestant.

The business hopeful, called Curtis Stone, was shocked to hear her remarks, and even more shocked by the ease at which she said it.

When asked by Donald Trump what she thought of fellow contestant, Australian TV chef Curtis Stone, Osbourne replied, “He is very smug.”

Singer Cyndi Lauper jumped in, saying, “He’s Australian.”

“Yeah, I know,” Osbourne responded.

“Put another shrimp on the Barbie. He is too smug for me.”

“Are all Australian’s like that?” a surprised Ivanka Trump asked.

“Yeah, usually, yeah,” Osbourne responded.

Osbourne has been known in the past for her dislike of Aussies, but has never really gone far enough to offend all of them, until now.

Here’s the video link:

The famous actor has reportedly checked himself into a Melbourne rehabilitation hospital for undisclosed reasons.

Those ‘undisclosed’ reasons are believed to be drug and alcohol problems, which is believed to be a vive of the young actor for some years.

It was reported today in the Herald Sun that the 33 year-old had admitted himself in the rehab centre some time this month.

The news comes just weeks after Newton proposed to his actress girlfriend Rachel Taylor, who famously starred in the movie Transformers.

According to the story, Newton’s family, fronted by the much loved father Bert, said they would stick by him no matter what, and that they just want what’s best for their son.

“We want what’s best for Matthew and we are with him all the way,” Bert Newton told the papers.

In addition to Bert, family friend Jillian Bowen echoed those words of the Newton’s, saying she hopes Matthew is doing well.

“Matthew is in hospital at the moment, but we do ask people to understand that this is a private time and we won’t be discussing any details,” She said.

The timing of the events could not be worse, however, with Bert scheduled to make his triumphant return to the small screen when he host the annual Logie Awards on Sunday night.

KD Lang is in, while Susan Boyle is out!

That’s right, the Scottish reality singing sensation has pulled out of the annual Australian TV awards nights because she is feeling too tired.

Boyle rose to fame after her amazing performances on the singing show, The X-Factor, and since then has been performing numerous concerts and gigs around the world.

She has turned into a woman in demand and Australia has embraced her, really wanting her to be part of one of our most prestigious nights.

However, Boyle did not repay the love for down under, saying she would rather rest and take it easy, then make the trip down south.

The replacement isn’t that bad but, KD Lang is a much loved figure on our shores and was excited when delivered the news she would be the replacement.

“To be honest, I am always so happy to be in Australia and this is a small way to say thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of me down there for the past 20 years,” Lang said.

“And there are some places I need to hit that I’ve missed since I was last there.”

The Canadian artist is working on her new album at the moment, and also mentioned she would reveal a few of her new ones on the night.

“It’s funny because I was having it made just to have it but, you know, celebrities just have to be ready for their big moment,” she said.

Carl Williams was murdered in his Barwon Prison cell today at around 1.14pm.

It is believed two inmates crept up on the famed drug dealer and murderer during his leisure time at the jails exercise area.

The pair began beating him repeated times to the head.

Ambulance officials rushed to the scene and found Williams in cardiac arrest. They were unable to regain his consciousness.

Question marks are now being asked over the involvement of the prison guard during the time, and hw they managed to allow the incident to get so out of hand.

It is also believed part of an exercise bike was used as a weapon in the attack.

The two men have been taken into police custody, with officials now in the middle of a full scale investigation into the murder.

The event comes on the same day it was publicly revealed that police had spent up to eight thousand dollars to send Williams daughter to a private school.

Fellow underworld figure Mick Gatto was asked about how he felt about the death and responded in bold words.

“I’d rather let dead dogs lie,” he said.

He also reiterated that he was not a friend of Carl’s and that he would not make any further comment on the matter.

People are already beginning to talk about how the death was organized and conspiracies are filtering through the news, but for the time being, the gangland community are coming to grips with the fact one of the most notorious crooks is finally dead.

This times it’s Jim Carey and his pin-up beauty Jenny McCarthy who are calling it quits on their relationship.

For years they were one of the industries most loved and adored couples, a pair who never disgraced the media, and two who did not cause controversy, and went about their business in as much privacy as they could.

In an article in People magazine, Carey’s agent revealed the news to the public.

“Jim and Jenny have recently decided to end their five-year relationship,” Marleah Leslie said
The couple had been supportive of each other through their journey, which included the birth of Carey’s first ever grandchild recently.
“I’m so grateful for the years Jim and I shared together,” McCarthy said.

“I will continue to be in his daughter’s life and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart.”

The 48-year-old funny-man actor, echoed his former girlfriend.

“I’m grateful 4 the many blessings we’ve shared and I wish her the very best! S’okay!” Carrey wrote on his Twitter site.

It comes as a surprise for many people in the loop, as the two were earlier this year publicly stating how in love they were with each other, especially Carey.

“Jenny is the first person that I’ve been with where I don’t have a giant question mark over my head,” he said.

Carey and McCarthy will continue to remain close friends and keep in touch with both sides family, but for now, it is an end to yet another Hollywood romance.

Dr Conrad Murray was arrested earlier last month after an investigation into Jackson’s death found that he was hiding drugs and empty vials from the police, as well as delaying phoning emergency services after the pop star had passed out of consciousness.

He appeared for a preliminary hearing on manslaughter charges, which also claim he administered the fatal dose of a powerful anesthetic, usually only used in operations, that killed Jackson.

In a surprise decision, the Las Angeles court allowed Murray to continue practicing as a doctor and chose not to suspend his medical license.

The judge did however hand Murray a $74,000 bail amount and a condition that he may not administer any anesthetic to any patients.

Jackson’s estranged parents, Katherine and Joe, and his siblings, Jermaine, Randy and Janet, were on hand as Murray’s lawyers argued against a move by California’s attorney general to suspend his medical license.

Their faces were stone cold when they heard the news, and Jackson’s fans outside went wild with boo’s and jeers.

While it may come as some god news for Murray, it is far from that for the world’s latest celebrity doctor.

He claims he is now unable to work as his image is so badly tarnished, and that he is so financially inept he is not able to pay for his defence.

The 57-year-old has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter charges. He told the police that the 50-year-old star was a chronic insomniac who depended on the anesthetic Propofol to sleep.

The pair are reportedly not talking after Jennifer publicly said she had no idea who Schwimmer was marrying, referring to girlfriend, photographer Zoe Buckman.

43 year old Schwimmer, made it public that he plans to marry his 23 lover.

However, when Aniston heard the news, she was not too welcoming of the news.

When quizzed about it on David Letterman, she confessed she “didn’t know” who he was going to marry.

According to close sources, Schwimmer is not at all pleased by the comments made by his former lover on TV.

“David was not impressed that one of his supposed friends didn’t know who he was marrying,” a close source said.

“He has been with Zoe for a couple of years and was offended Jen couldn’t remember her. He hasn’t been taking her calls.”

“He has been avoiding her calls since.”

It appears the love the friends once had for each other in that highly popular TV sitcom has now faded with the wind.

The Aniston and Schwimmer case is jus an example of how things really are in Hollywood… Fickle!

Who knows where this saga will go from here, but lets just hope Aniston’s harsh words stop Schwimmer from pursuing his love.

In a court release filed by his lawyer, Joseph Mannis, it outlined that the 73 year old had reached a new low in his health and would be unable to be questioned in regards to his recent divorce.

In January this year Hopper split from his wife, Victoria Hopper, and it has since opened a whole new saga for the sick star.

It is unknown how accurate the court documents are, and if it is just another tactic to delay the divorce case.

They state that being questioned by his wife’s lawyers “could actually threaten his (Hopper’s) ability to survive the current health crisis”.

But, in spite of the recent revelations, Hopper is sill set to make an appearance to Hollywood to receive his star in the Walk of Fame this Friday.

Mannis said the appearance would help take his mind away from the stress of his life and focus on the positives.

Mrs. Hopper, 42, meanwhile, has said the actor threatened her, smoked marijuana around their daughter and that his illness had left him unable to make sound decisions.

She has also claimed that he filed for divorce so that he could cut her out of her inheritance.

The debate over who is right will continue until Hopper pass away, however while he is still alive we should honour the man who has entertained so many in his many films.

The film icon has finally found the love of his life and has married her in a private reception.

Sacha Baron Cohen, the man behind the Borat and Bruno films, has tied the knot with Aussie heartthrob Isla Fisher.

The pair had been rumoured to marry for quite some time, but did a good job of keeping the media away.

Speculation begun just over a month ago when Cohen had sent out messages to all close friends and family to keep a certain day free for a special occasion.

While there was no mention of a marriage, it was well implied that was the day the two would share vowels.

The two were wed in a sunset ceremony last Monday, in font of only a small crowd

“We did it – we’re married!,” Fisher said in an email to friends.

“It was the absolute best day of my life and in so many beautiful moments I missed you all so much.

“I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss, just us!”

Fisher and Cohen had been an item for over 8 years, after meeting at a party in Sydney.

38-year-old Cohen, reportedly proposed to Fisher over milk and cookies in the garden of the Chateau Marmont hotel in LA two years later.

Together they share a daughter, Olive,  who is two years old.
