Taylor Swift made history at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on August 28, being the only artist to win three VMAs for Video of the Year and the first woman to win two VMAs for directing solo. The star took home awards for Video of the Year, Best Long Form Video and Best Direction for her 15-minute ‘All Too Well’ short film. In her second speech of the night, Swift, 32, said how honoured she was to be recognised alongside “such amazing artists” and directors in the category. “I’m just so proud of what we’ve made. I know with every second of this moment that we wouldn’t have been able to make this short film if it weren’t for you, the fans,” she said. “You emboldened me to do that.” Long-time…

Kate Ritchie’s long-awaited return to Aussie TV has been overshadowed by her drink-driving arrest. The Australia’s Got Talent judge was pulled over by police in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs on August 22. She was then taken to Maroubra Police Station, where she allegedly recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.06. Ritchie was issued with an infringement notice for the offence of Drive with Low-Range Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol, a Licence Suspension Notice and a $600 fine. “Recently I undertook a random breath test. Although it was low-level, the test came back positive,” the 44-year-old shared on Instagram, after news of the charge went public. “I made a poor decision and there is no doubt I understand the seriousness of my actions. I am truly sorry.” The apology also followed reports she could lose…

The pair began dating in 2006, but were on and off for years, splitting multiple times throughout their relationship. Now, seven years since reality TV stars Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick parted ways, Kardashian has moved on with new husband Travis Barker. And now, it looks as though Disick is ready to do the same with old friend Kimberly Stewart. Disick, 39, and socialite Stewart, 43, were introduced by her brother, Sean Stewart, years ago and have remained close friends ever since, but sightings of the two holding hands while leaving Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica seemingly confirms the rumours that they’ve been secretly dating for a few months. With the exception of Kardashian, who shares children Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 7, with her reality TV ex, Disick…

The Beverly Hills, 90210 family has lost another great – Joe E. Tata, who played the beloved Nat Bussichio on the iconic ’90s drama. The 85-year-old passed away after a four-year struggle with Alzheimer’s. Ian Ziering, who played Steve Sanders on the series, announced his friend’s passing on Instagram. “In the last few months we’ve lost Jessica Klein, one of 90210’s most prolific writers and producers, Denise Dowse who played Mrs Teasley, and now I’m very sad to say Joe E. Tata has passed away,” he wrote. “He was a leading force, especially to us guys, on how to appreciate the gift that 90210 was.” Three years after Luke Perry’s shock death, Jennie Garth added, “I feel like there’s a reunion party going on at the Peach Pit in heaven.”…

It’s been deemed yet another “Markle debacle” in a long line of missteps by former royal Meghan, who still refers to herself as the Duchess of Sussex. While she’s broken Spotify records with the debut of her new Archetypes podcast, she’s offended an entire nation in the process – and that’s just the start. In her bombshell interview with The Cut, writer Allison P. Davis told how Markle acted like a “Bachelor producer” by telling her how to write her article. Davis wrote, “At one point in our conversation, instead of answering a question, she will suggest how I might transcribe the noises she’s making.” In Markle’s own words to Davis, “She’s making these guttural sounds, and I can’t quite articulate what it is she’s feeling in that moment because she…
