Jessica Alba has shared a bittersweet post of her two daughters Honor Marie, 15, and Haven Garner, 12, on their first day back-to-school.

Former beauty queen collapses and dies at just 25

Former beauty queen Jessica Whalley has been named as the woman who died at ex-English soccer star Michael Owen’s stables. The 25-year-old worked at Manor House Stables in Cheshire, northwestern England, as a transport manager. Reportedly, Jessica felt ill at around 8:50am, and emergency services raced to attend to her in the racing yard, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have stated that the tragic incident is not being treated as suspicious, explaining with their own statement that “at around 8.50am today, police were made aware that a 25-year-old woman had collapsed at a stables on Old Coach Road, Malpas. "Emergency services attended the location and, despite the best efforts of all those involved, the woman sadly died at the scene. "The death is not being treated as suspicious and her next of kin have been informed. A file will be prepared for the coroner." Michael Owen is said by The Sun to have been emotional in the wake of the loss, with one woman sharing on Facebook that it was “so sad seeing him and all his staff in tears today … after such a shock to them … [at] such a young age. "No health problems[,] 25 is no age ... life really is too short for we never really know how long we have ... thoughts go out to her family and friends." The National Association of Racing Staff CEO George McGrath had kind words for the late Jessica as well when he explained that she “was a much loved and respected member of the racing community and taken from us at much too early in age." Manor Farm Stables later released a statement, and tribute to their “valued member”, writing that “it is with deep sadness that we have to announce that a much-valued member of our team died at work this morning. "The family have been informed and both the family and the team at Manor House request privacy at this time." Jessica - or ‘Jess’ to her friends - has been remembered as a hard worker, a respected member of the racing community, and a “much loved” friend. But her professional history isn’t limited to the stables, as the young woman once found passion in the beauty circuit. In 2019, Jessica had the honour of representing the United Kingdom in the Miss Tourism Universe pageant, an event that took place in Beirut and aired on MTV. And in the competition, Jessica made it to the final ten. And it was one of Jess’s friends who shared the final picture ever taken of Jessica, taken a mere three days before, writing alongside the picture that it was “heartbreaking to hear Jess lost her life today at the tender age of 25. “She was riding out doing what she loved. We had so many great times working in Dubai. “May she rest in peace.” Images: Facebook

Surprise twist in traveller who failed to declare sandwich ingredients

The Aussie<a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/travel/travel-trouble/traveller-slapped-2-664-fine-for-sandwich" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> traveller who was fined $2,664</a> for bringing in a Subway sandwich and not declaring two ingredients has been given an amazing surprise. Jessica Lee was heading back from Singapore to Perth and purchased a footlong sandwich but only ate half and decided to keep the other for the flight. While on the way back to Australia, Jessica did not eat the sandwich and failed to declare chicken and lettuce when she arrived back in Australia. The 19-year-old was slapped with a hefty $2,664 fine and shared the news on TikTok urging others not to make the same mistake she did. In an update, Jessica announced that she was gifted a $2,664 Subway gift card from the restaurant as well as a box of merchandise. “Subway makes my fine worth every single cent,” Jessica said in the new TikTok video. “Looking at positives over negatives always pays off.” She then proceeded to read the letter the restaurant sent her, thanking her for eating from them. “To say thank you for eating fresh, we’ve uploaded a sub card with $2,664 just for you,” the letter read. “We hope this covers all your chicken and lettuce needs. “Love your Subway fans.” Images: TikTok

Jessica Mauboy and her beau tie the knot

Jessica Mauboy and her beau Themeli Magripilis have finally tied the knot! The loved up couple exchanged vows at a small church ceremony in Darwin on Saturday, followed by a reception for more than 300 guests at the Mindil Beach Casino Resort, according to NT Times. The pair are still yet to share photos of their big day. Jessica and Themeli, 32, who have been dating since they were 18, got engaged on holiday in Greece in 2019. “The love of my life proposed to me in his family's home town of Kalymnos, Greece, on the beach at sunset,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “We are so happy. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. Thank you for all the love. BIG LOVE JM & Themeli.” They met at a Darwin nightclub with Jessica making the first move and eventually getting Themeli’s number. “I’m the one who made the move and ended up getting his number from a really good friend,” The Voice coach previously said. “I texted and said ‘I’d really like this to work, how about you?’ and I didn’t think I would do anything in my life like that. Jessica said that she was “grateful” to have Themeli in her life despite them both being in different industries. “He's been so completely patient but he also loves seeing the joy and gets a kick out of me doing what I love to do,” she said. “We live in different worlds. I mean, he's in construction, I'm in the music business. So it's very, very different worlds, but he absolutely loves it.” “He loves his music, and I'm just really grateful to have someone like that in my life who understands what I do.” Image: Instagram

Couple book non-stop cruises for two-and-a-half years

A couple who missed out on the joys of cruising during lockdown are now bunkering down and cruising non-stop for two-and-a-half years. Jessica and Marty Ansen left Brisbane on Princess Cruises’ Coral Princess on June 16 for the beginning of their exciting adventure. They have previously sailed on 31 cruises with Princess with a whopping 1,173 days at sea and when the resumption of cruises they were ready to get started again. From now until August 2024, the loved up couple will be holidaying on the high seas and on a staggering 53 different cruise ships! “Cruising offers the ultimate holiday experience. You go onboard, you only unpack once, and you have all this amazing entertainment, exceptional food, great company and you can see the world. And, the crew deliver incredible service - that’s why we cruise,” they said. The Ansens booked their two years of back-to-back cruises (795 sea days) - including two round-the-world cruises in 2023 and 2024 – with Brisbane-based family-owned travel agency Clean Cruising. Martine Hero, the Senior Consultant at Clean Cruising, said the Ansens had always been passionate about cruising and were keen to be back on the water again. “For the last two years Marty frequently mentioned all he and Jessica wanted to do was to go cruising again,” he said. “Since the announcement of the resumption of cruising we have had an influx of interest and bookings, including those of the Ansens. “This extended trip has been in the works for a long time, as have those of many other cruisers. “We want to thank our cruise fans for their patience as we get them back doing what they love most.” Image: The Today Show

How to stay in Carrie Bradshaw's apartment from Sex and the City

It’s the ultimate experience for fans of Sex and the City. A stunning recreation of the Brownstone New York apartment that the show’s Carrie Bradshaw character lived in is being put up for rent by Airbnb. Sarah Jessica Parker herself played a role in designing it and will be "virtually" welcoming guests when they arrive. “The Carrie Bradshaw character is near and dear to my heart, and revisiting her world for the continuation of the Sex and the City story has been such a joy,” said SJP. Carrie’s brownstone apartment was central to the series and its décor has now been painstakingly recreated by Parker, Airbnb, and a small New York-based production team. The character’s famous walk-in wardrobe, her writing desk and her bedroom appear almost exactly as they did in the cult series. Replicas of key props from the original apartment are dotted throughout, such as circa-2000 cordless phone and a blocky black laptop, like the one Carrie used to labour over her writing. After enjoying a virtual greeting from the actress upon check-in, Airbnb says the guests can sip on cosmopolitans – reminiscent of the many cocktail-laden scenes from the series. A styling session and a photoshoot will also be included in the experience. Guests will get the chance to play dress-up in a recreation of Carrie’s closet, which has been filled with duplicates of some of the iconic looks from the series. This includes a model of the tutu Carrie wears in the show’s opening credits, which is one of the most famous looks curated by the show’s costume designer Patricia Field. Outfits from Carrie’s favourite fashion designers also line the closet, as well as – of course – rows and rows of shoes. “I’m excited for our audience to experience Carrie’s New York like never before and walk in her shoes, quite literally, for the first time," Parker said. Guests will also be invited to leave the apartment and explore Manhattan, traipsing the same streets as Carrie and her entourage would have done. Brunch in Chelsea is part of the experience, which Airbnb describes as a ‘meal where many conversations took place that deepened Carrie’s friendships with the girls’. In Sex and the City, the exterior shots of Carrie's apartment showed 64 and 66 Perry Street in Manhattan's West Village. Meanwhile, the interior scenes were captured in Silvercup Studios in Queens. For the recreation, Airbnb used a different New York apartment that had a similar floorplan to that of Carrie's flat. The new Airbnb was designed in honour of next month's premiere of And Just Like That..., a 10-episode revival of Sex and the City that will air on HBO Max and Sky Comedy. Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon will reprise their roles in the series, but Kim Cattrall - who played publicity dynamo Samantha Jones - declined to take part. The Airbnb project, which was a collaboration between Airbnb and Warner Bros Consumer Products, also marks 23 years since fans were first introduced to the show. Parker will host two one-night stays for up to two guests each on November 12 and 14 for just $23 a night. Image credits: AirBnB

The expanded grounds include a sweeping lawn, an 85-foot swimming pool and plunge pool, a lighted sports court, a vegetable garden, and a guesthouse. Timberlake and Biel own several other properties across New York City, Nashville, and Montana.

And Just Like That will stream on Binge later this year. The cast includes Sara Ramirez, Chris Noth, Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Willie Garson and Evan Handler. Kim Cattrall, who played publicist Samantha Jones, will not be returning. HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys told TVLine back in February the show “is very much a story about women in their 50s, and they are dealing with things that people deal with in their 50s.” He explained to the outlet, “Just as in real life, people come into your life, people leave. Friendships fade, and new friendships start. So I think it is all very indicative of the real stages, the actual stages of life … They’re trying to tell an honest story about being a woman in her 50s in New York. So it should all feel somewhat organic, and the friends that you have when you’re 30, you may not have when you’re 50.” The four women played their respective characters for six seasons and two movies from 1998 until as recently as 2010.

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker's son is all grown up!

Matthew Broderick decided on spending some quality time with his family before he heads off for his West End debut. The 56-year-old actor was spotted enjoying a courtside game for the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Sunday with his doppelganger son. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7823266/matt.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/214128f8c0de4c0ca837d8ece34d3f78" /> Opting for a pair of red corduroy slacks, the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off star was in high spirits as he watched his hometown team play. Accessorising his look with a pair of simple black frames, Broderick chose to keep his hair slicked towards the side. 16-year-old James Wilkie looked all grown up as he sat next to his father with a huge smile plastered across his face. Wearing a black turtleneck with grey jeans, the father-and-son duo sat with The Daily Show host Trevor Noah who seemed to be just as excited about watching a game of basketball. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7823274/matt12.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/fb21b54a56944980b2fc468f604c77a2" /> Matthew and 53-year-old Sarah Jessica are also parents to nine-year-old twins, Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick and Tabitha Hodge Broderick. Can you believe Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker's son is 16 years old already?

Sarah Jessica Parker shares her secret to 20 happy years of marriage

While she is most well-known for playing single woman Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, an most recently starring in HBO series Divorce, Sarah Jessica Parker’s love life is quite different to her onscreen characters. In a new interview with <a href="http://people.com/tv/sarah-jessica-parker-talks-20-year-marriage-matthew-broderick-raising-kids/?xid=email-email-peopledaily-2018021416PM-tout3&utm_source=peopledotcom.wordpress.com&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=people-daily&utm_content=2018021416PM" target="_blank">PEOPLE</a>, the actress has opened up about her 20 happy years of marriage to Matthew Broderick and raising their three kids while working in the spotlight. “I think marriage has a lot of vitality,” she said. “If you’re fortunate, it’s like this dazzling organism.” Sarah and Matthew dated for five years before they tied the knot on May 19, 1997. The duo invited 100 of their nearest and dearest to New York for what guests assumed was a party but was instead a surprise wedding, where Sarah walked down the aisle in her black wedding dress. Since then, the couple have become parents to 15-year-old James Wilkie and 8-year-old twins, Tabitha and Loretta. Sarah says she pins her happy years of marriage to connecting with each other no matter how things change. “I feel like it changes,” she explained. “Your needs are shifting. You and your partner are going to change. It seems so silly, but I think you’re very lucky if you like the person. I still just really like him. I’m sure I annoy him and he annoys me, but I literally learn about him every day. I’m like, ‘You’re doing what? You’re reading what?’” To maintain a healthy family culture, Sarah and Matthew place a priority on having “conversations” as a family. “Our lives are unpredictable, and we’re not always here when we want to be,” she said. “We can’t always do drop-off and pick-up. But I’m proud that our children talk to us in the way they do. I’m glad they’re curious people.” Sarah revealed that when she overhears her son talking with his friends, she is so proud of him. “Sometimes I just sit on the stairs because they’re all in the kitchen, eating all the food, and I listen,” she said. “And I’m so charmed by their conversation. I’m so happy with the young man he’s becoming.” Sarah also admitted that because her daughters Tabitha and Loretta are so different, sometimes she forgets they’re twins. “They have different interests. They’re really devoted to each other, but they’ll also say, ‘I need time away from her.’ Tabitha can play by herself for hours. Loretta always needs to be checking in. They go to different schools. That’s Tabitha’s idea.” Despite her busy schedule, Sarah still manages to have some time to herself when she can. “I read. I always try to find time. Waiting for a child. I read on the subway,” she says. “On the set, I have a book hidden under a dress or under a couch. For me reading it's like disappearing. It transports me. And when I get into bed, I watch TV. I love TV. I love the news. It drives me bananas. I love watching Rachel Maddow. I love House Hunters International. I love Dateline. I love 30 for 30 on ESPN.”

Jessica Lange opens up about ex-partner Sam Shepard who died aged 73

Oscar-nominated actor, director and playwright Sam Shepard has died aged 73. Jessica Lange, 68, opened up about her ex-partner of 27 years, who she has two children with – Hannah Jane Shepard, 31, and Samuel Walker Shepard, 30 – in an interview published hours before his death. In an interview with AARP magazine, Lange spoke about her long time partner. “I wouldn’t call Sammy easygoing and funny, but everybody has their dark side, and he always does it with a sense of humour,” said the star. Lange and Shepard began dating after meeting on the set of their 1982 film Frances. After they went their separate ways in 2009, the Pulitzer Prize winner said of their "tumultuous” three-decade relationship. "I mean, we have long periods of relative calm," Shepard told <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2010/mar/21/sam-shepard-interview" target="_blank">The Guardian</a> in 2010. "We're definitely an incredible match. But, you know, not without fireworks ... although at this point, you know, she's the only woman I could live with. Who could live with me! What other woman would put up with me? ... I'd never met anybody like her. She was astounding. One of the great things about her, aside from her natural beauty, which was remarkable, was her humbleness." The Broadway legend died peacefully at home in Kentucky surrounded by his family on Sunday. A spokesman for the Shepard family said he died from complications of Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Shepard received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1979 for his play Buried Child. He is the author of 44 plays as well as several books of short stories, memoirs and essays. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1983's The Right Stuff for his portrayal of pilot Chuck Yeager.

Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon reveal sad truth about ageing in Hollywood

At 67 and 70 respectively, actresses Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon are in the prime of the career. In their latest TV series Feud, Lange stars as ageing screen legend Joan Crawford alongside Susan Sarandon as Crawford’s bitter rival, Bette Davis. But both successful women recognise that ageing, especially if you’re a woman, in Hollywood can spell the end of your career. “Women are viewed as a commodity more so than male actors,” Lange tells PEOPLE. “At a certain age women are no longer considered a viable or a valuable part of the community – even if that’s when they may feel like they’re at the top of their game. And that’s not just in Hollywood.” Sarandon says of the female stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, “All of those gals who had these amazing parts found themselves high and dry later when they were older because there weren’t that many people who were writing them. “There are so many tragic stories of women who were so beautiful and couldn’t figure out a way to age within the system.” Feud producer Ryan Murphy believes it’s important to tell stories that celebrate women of all ages, including older women. “I think if Joan and Bette were alive, they would raise a glass to Jessica and Susan,” he says. “Bette and Joan have been frozen in amber in our culture for a long time as characters and I think what we worked so hard at doing was painting full, complete portraits of these women. Their story deserved to be told in that way.”
