$51 million decision

Celeste Barber became one of the unlikely heroes of the Australian bushfire crisis in January when her fundraiser was the largest in Facebook’s history. Despite having a target of $30,000, Barber raked in more than $51 million from more than 1.3 million people worldwide. The 38-year-old nominated the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) and Brigades Donation Fund to receive the funds but many – including Celeste herself – hoped the “unprecedented amount” could be split across other organisations.

kim’s body of work

On May 22, Kim Kardashian West posted two Instagram snaps of herself posing on a Stairmaster machine wearing a blonde wig, a cheetah-print bikini and a chunky pair of ‘Dad’Yeezy sneakers, captioning the glam shots “Quarantine Workout”. Taking to her Instagram story the next day, the star gave a little more insight into what her six-day-a-week, 90-minute sweat sessions with trainer Melissa Alcantara actually look like! The svelte star starts with 20 minutes of cardio, then dives into weightlifting intervals, combining three to four movements, and repeating them three times before moving to her next set.

Days earlier, after the 39-year-old shared a picture of herself in a bra and…
