Slimmed down Oprah addresses Ozempic rumours

<p>Oprah Winfrey has addressed rumours about her impressive weight loss on the red carpet. </p> <p>The TV icon stunned at the premiere for the reboot of <em>The Color Purple</em>, walking the red carpet in a figure-hugging purple dress in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.</p> <p>While doing an interview with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/oprah-winfrey-reacts-to-her-physical-transformation-at-the-color-purple-premiere-exclusive-216118" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Entertainment Tonight</em></a>, the 69-year-old spoke candidly about her body transformation. </p> <p>ET host Kevin Frazier told Winfrey she was looking “divine in purple” and then asked, “What’s going on? Because if this is WeightWatchers, please, sign me up tonight!”</p> <p>“Well it’s not one thing, it’s everything … and I intend to keep it that way,” she replied, noting that she “was on that treadmill” hours before the premiere kicked off.</p> <p>Oprah's admission comes after her drastic weight loss was the subject of many rumours, with many people questioning whether she had used the weight loss drug to slim down. </p> <p>The former TV host did admit that she had contemplated the controversial weight loss injections, but ultimately decided against using it. </p> <p>“When I first started hearing about the weight loss drugs, at the same time, I was going through knee surgery, and I felt, ‘I’ve got to do this on my own,’” she explained on an episode of Oprah Daily’s The Life You Want: The State of Weight, which featured a panel of obesity specialists.</p> <p>“Because if I take the drug, that’s the easy way out.”</p> <p>Oprah has long been an ambassador for Weight Watchers, and said in 2015 when she first partnered with the company that her new lifestyle is "a way of living that’s so freeing". </p> <p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><em>Image credits: Getty Images </em></p>

Prince Andrew “terrified” to leave Royal Lodge amid eviction rumours

<p dir="ltr">Prince Andrew is refusing to exit his royal residence as renovations are carried out on the Windsor property, despite advice to the contrary.</p> <p dir="ltr">According to <em>The Daily Mail</em>, the 63-year-old is putting his foot down over fears that he “might never get back in”, likely in response to circulating rumours that his brother - King Charles - wants to evict Andrew from the home as part of his grand plan to scale back the monarchy. </p> <p dir="ltr">While Andrew no longer holds any official royal duty after his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, he still maintains his claim on the mansion with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.</p> <p dir="ltr">And now, that same property is set to become “virtually a building site”, with Andrew having hired builders to undertake necessary repair work on the property, tackling everything from damp to mould. </p> <p dir="ltr">As a source told <em>Page Six</em>, Andrew was reportedly advised to vacate “while work was undertaken” over the course of a few months, “but he’s refused because he’s so terrified that the property might be seized in his absence.</p> <p dir="ltr">“In the meantime, Harry and Meghan vacated Frogmore after being told they needed to leave to make way for Andrew but he is refusing to go there, even though he was given the keys.</p> <p dir="ltr">“He’s allowing Eugenie to stay there. She’s just given birth to her second child so while she recovers and gets back on her feet, she’s staying in Frogmore to be near her mum and dad.”</p> <p dir="ltr">And while some believe the temporary move would make sense for Andrew, his fears remain at the forefront. </p> <p dir="ltr">“It’s become farcical,' an insider told <em>The Daily Mail</em>.  “Andrew has roof repairs scheduled later this summer which will take several months to complete and has been advised that staying in the house during those renovations could prove problematic. But he is reluctant to leave.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Buckingham Palace has yet to comment on the rumours, but another source is adamant that the Duke of York will remain in the property, <a href="post.php?post=134779&amp;action=edit&amp;classic-editor">regardless of alleged drama and financial woes</a>. </p> <p dir="ltr">As <em>Page Six</em> noted, Andrew has been making the most of money left to him by the late Queen Elizabeth to fix up the house, with one source explaining that “he’s been quite open about where the money has come from because he doesn’t want people to think he’s come up with it through other means.</p> <p dir="ltr">“The costs are expected to reach into the hundreds of thousands of pounds.”</p> <p dir="ltr">And, as they surmised, Andrew “is adamant that he will see out the end of his [75-year] lease at Royal Lodge.”</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: Getty</em></p>

Kochie addresses feud rumours with Sam Armytage

<p dir="ltr">David Koch has addressed the rumours of a falling out with his former <em>Sunrise</em> co-host, Sam Armytage for the first time.</p> <p dir="ltr">Kochie responded to the rumours while appearing as a guest on <em>The Kyle and Jackie O Show</em> on Wednesday morning, after the radio hosts grilled him about reports of their strained relationship.</p> <p dir="ltr">The rumours spread after Armytage left<em> Sunrise</em> in March 2021 and hosted a lavish farewell lunch with some of her co-workers, with Kochie notably absent.</p> <p dir="ltr">The next day he publicly claimed that he “didn’t know about it [happening].”</p> <p dir="ltr">But on Wednesday, Kochie told Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O that he “didn’t think” he was on “bad terms” with Armytage.</p> <p dir="ltr">“No, I don’t think … We didn’t end on bad terms,” he said.</p> <p dir="ltr">When asked if Kochie had spoken to her ever since he evaded the question and answered with: “Don’t forget she very publicly said she wanted to get out of the media, and that scrutiny.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“She sent me a really nice note on the announcement.

Kochie addresses the rumours of his “secret hot son”

<p dir="ltr">When David ‘Kochie’ Koch announced <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/the-world-s-best-job-kochie-quits-sunrise">he would be departing from Seven’s hit breakfast TV series <em>Sunrise</em></a><em> </em>after 21 years at the helm, there was a lot to talk about. </p> <p dir="ltr">From the future of the show to the reasons behind his exit, <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/kochie-responds-to-chris-brown-rumours-as-his-replacement-is-confirmed">theories and rumours ran wild</a>, although one thing nobody had seen coming was the attention turned on Kochie’s son, Alexander ‘AJ’ Koch. </p> <p dir="ltr">Kochie had thanked his family - wife Libby and their four children, Samantha, Brianna, Georgina, and AJ - while announcing his resignation live on-air, and circled back to AJ a few days later after reports of his “secret hot son” made the rounds online. </p> <p dir="ltr"><em>The Daily Mail</em> had run with the angle that AJ was “just as business savvy as his father”, but that he was happier working behind the scenes than he was having his face on it. And with 12 years experience behind him as general manager for the Kochie-founded and family-run business Pinstripe Media, that much seems true. </p> <p dir="ltr">They went on to note that AJ was the “spitting image of his father at a younger age”, citing his dark hair and full beard. </p> <p dir="ltr">“<em>Daily Mail</em> had a story on ‘Kochie’s hot son hidden away in the family business’,” an amused Kochie informed his friend and co-host, Natalie Barr, during their morning appearance. </p> <p dir="ltr">“His sisters have gone to town on him, let me tell you. Saying, ‘receding hairline’, all that sort of stuff.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Sibling fun aside, family seems key to the Koch clan, particularly with how many times it has come up in the wake of Kochie’s big news, and how his entire decision stemmed from the desire to spend more time with them - and, of course, their financial business. </p> <p dir="ltr">“It's time for me to work business hours and for Libby and I to have a bit more flexibility to enjoy our burgeoning family,” he said in his initial public announcement, “to travel and focus on our family business interests in Pinstripe Media and the Ausbiz business channel.”</p> <p dir="ltr">And his fans, <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/sam-mac-nat-barr-and-lisa-wilkinson-on-kochie-s-departure">rivals and colleagues</a> - while devastated to hear they wouldn’t be seeing his face on their screens each morning - were happy for him (well, <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/i-m-glad-you-re-resigning-kochie-s-run-in-with-a-heckler">almost all of them were</a>), sharing their well-wishes for the TV star and his family in the next big chapter of their lives.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I’m sad to see you go but wishing you all the best for your future especially time with Liv &amp; the grandkids &amp; PAFC,” one wrote. “Thank you for many many years of hosting <em>Sunrise</em>, I’ve enjoyed every minute.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“Will miss you! Enjoy your decision to keep normal hours with your family,” another said.</p> <p dir="ltr">And one opted to share a personal take on his departure, writing of how “our daughter is 21 and I’ve watched you since the first episode- this [is] how I remember the 3 of you[,] with a newborn and then the next one 7 years later. Congratulations on your retirement and spending time with your own family instead of ours.”</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: Facebook</em></p>

Jackie O responds to wild rumour following divorce and massive weight loss

<p dir="ltr">Jackie O has responded to rumours that she will appear on <em>The Bachelorette</em> following her 18 kg weight loss and divorce.</p> <p dir="ltr">Speaking on <em>The Kyle and Jackie O</em> show on Tuesday morning, the radio host was quick to shut down the rumours after her co-star Kyle Sandilands poked fun at her alleged new gig.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Congratulations on your new TV gig,” Kyle cheekily remarked.</p> <p dir="ltr">“That's all untrue Kyle. That's bulls**t. No, I'm not doing that,” Jackie O immediately quipped back.</p> <p dir="ltr">“That's great, because I wouldn't have been happy about that,” Kyle replied, and then went on to say why Jackie O was too good for the show.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I put you up on a pedestal. You are a great woman that has achieved amazing things in your life, [you] raised a great daughter... And you're an award-winning, wonderful friend,” he said.</p> <p dir="ltr">On their Wednesday show, Jackie O shut down the rumours further by saying that no amount of money would have convinced her to go on the show.</p> <p dir="ltr">She confirmed that the <em>Channel 10</em> producers begged her to appear on the dating show, but has firmly said no, because she didn’t want to be around a “bunch of gronks”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“It came through my manager and I said "absolutely not". No way would I ever do something like that. It is great for your entertainment, but what about me,' she said.</p> <p dir="ltr">She also hinted that the producers were willing to pay her anything she wanted, hinting at a possible $300k salary, which is the same amount her friend, Sophie Monk, got paid.</p> <p dir="ltr">“They asked how much would it cost. Nothing, I wouldn't do it. I would just not do it. Not the Bachelorette. They are just making TV in the end and you are just going to get gronks, get weirdos... I just don't think it is for me,” she justified.</p> <p dir="ltr">This comes after <em>Woman’s Day</em> magazine alleged that Jackie had signed up to the franchise in hopes of finding the right one on Monday.</p> <p><em>Images: Youtube</em></p>

Kochie responds to Chris Brown rumours as his replacement is confirmed

<p><em>Sunrise</em> viewers are set to see a new face alongside Natalie Barr following the news of Kochie’s <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/the-world-s-best-job-kochie-quits-sunrise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shock departure</a>.</p> <p>One famous face in particular was <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/rumoured-replacement-for-kochie-on-sunrise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rumoured</a> to fill his shoes, but Channel 7 has now confirmed his successor has been appointed, with an announcement to be made on Monday, June 5.</p> <p>Kochie will host his final edition of <em>Sunrise</em> on Friday, June 9.</p> <p>The TV presenter, who holds the title of the longest-serving breakfast host in Australian history, will remain a valued part of the <em>Sunrise</em> team and the Seven Network, covering big financial news as a “guest rather than host”.</p> <p>Kochie was visibly emotional when he shared with viewers that he was stepping away from the “world’s best job”.</p> <p>Fellow presenters Natalie Barr, Lisa Wilkinson and Sam Mac posted online to <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/sam-mac-nat-barr-and-lisa-wilkinson-on-kochie-s-departure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praise and congratulate</a> him on his 21-year run on the show.</p> <p>Following his announcement, Kochie appeared on <em>The Kyle & Jackie O Show</em>.</p> <p>Sandilands asked Kochie if there was any truth to the rumour that ABC presenter Stan Grant, who <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/surprise-new-contender-to-replace-stan-grant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently resigned </a>from hosting Q+A, would be taking over his role.</p> <p>“Um, no, I don’t think so,” he replied.</p> <p>Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson proceeded to speculate over who is and isn’t likely to fill the position, including Today host Karl Stefanovic and former Channel 10 star Dr Chris Brown, who is making his way to <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/the-doctor-is-out-chris-brown-changes-the-script" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seven in July 2023</a>.</p> <p>“Well, it’s obvious they’re not going to take Karl,” Sandilands teased.</p> <p>“And it’s not going to be Dr Chris Brown either, is it?” Henderson asked, to which Kochie just laughed.</p> <p>“No, you can’t put a vet on there,” Sandilands joked. “How insulting. That’s like saying Mr Whippy’s gonna come and take over my job, like come on man, that’s ridiculous.”</p> <p>When pushed for a clue as to who his replacement might be, Kochie told the hosts that there is “plenty of great talent working on Sunrise”.</p> <p>“Look, to use football parlance, I’ve talked to the list managers, it’s time for the next generation to come through and they've got a lot to choose from,” he said.</p> <p>“All will be revealed next Monday, and then I leave on Friday.”</p> <p>Kochie also shared he won’t be moving back to his hometown of Adelaide when he finishes up with <em>Sunrise</em>.</p> <p>“I will stay here in Sydney,” he said. “Our kids are here, grandkids are here, and our family business is here.”</p> <p>In a statement from Channel Seven Kochie explained that he believes it’s time to change his routine after spending 21 years of waking up at the crack of dawn.</p> <p>“I know I'm going to miss it enormously, but it's time for me to work business hours, and for (his wife) Libby and I to have a bit more flexibility to enjoy our burgeoning family, to travel and focus on our family business interests in Pinstripe Media and the Ausbiz business channel,” he said.</p> <p>“As everyone knows, I'm a finance nerd so you'll still see me pop up every so often on RBA board meeting days or covering other big financial news, but as a guest rather than host.</p> <p>“Coming up to 20 consecutive years as Australia's most-watched breakfast show is a nice moment to exit stage left with an enormous sense of pride and gratitude. Thank you for the privilege.”</p> <p><em>Image credit: Instagram</em></p>

Rumoured replacement for Kochie on Sunrise

<p> David Koch announced the shocking news that he will be <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/the-world-s-best-job-kochie-quits-sunrise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stepping down</a> from his hosting duties on <em>Sunrise</em> after a 20 year run.</p> <p>The news of his departure has quickly turned the attention to who will be replacing him.</p> <p>The veteran TV presenter announced he was quitting on air, saying it was “now time to work in business hours” and “focus on our big family”.</p> <p>His last show will be June 9.</p> <p>A clue hinting at a possible replacement for Koch comes after former Ten personality Dr Chris Brown <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/the-doctor-is-out-chris-brown-changes-the-script" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced he was leaving the network</a> and has signed a two-year deal with Seven, believed to be worth a staggering $1 million per year.</p> <p>The network is yet to reveal plans for Brown, 44, with people now speculating he could be filling Koch's shoes.</p> <p>In a statement after announcing his new contract, Brown revealed he would be starting “in the second half of the year and beyond with Seven”, while a network spokesperson confirmed he was officially commencing work “in July”.</p> <p>Brown had been with Channel 10 since 2008 with his beloved program, <em>Bondi Vet</em>.</p> <p>More recently, he co-hosted<em> I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here</em> with Julia Morris, and starred in <em>The Living Room</em>, which was “rested” in 2023.</p> <p>It is understood that Brown was frustrated with the lack of opportunities on offer to him at Ten, particularly after <em>The Living Room</em> axed production.</p> <p>He told <em>The Daily Telegraph</em> in December 2022, “I think you’d have to check the TV dictionary,” referring to the show being on “hiatus”.</p> <p>“The Oxford TV dictionary defines hiatus as cloudy with a chance of coming back but it is very unclear. Who knows what is happening.”</p> <p>Meanwhile, Koch said on air that he was “finding it harder” to continue in the role.</p> <p>“I have decided to hang up the boots as co-host of Sunrise. After nearly 21 years and over 5300 shows, 16,000 hours of TV, it is now time to work in business hours and have a bit of flexibility to focus more on our big family and the family business. And frankly, my football club as well. (Koch is chairman of the Port Adelaide Football Club.)</p> <p>“So after 20 consecutive premierships in the breakfast TV ratings game, I’m frankly finding it harder to get off the ground to take those marks and I think it’s time to bring [in] the next generation.”</p> <p><em>Image credit: Twitter</em></p>

Channel Nine addresses rumours of "tension" on Today set

<p>Channel Nine has addressed rumours of tension and anxiety on the set of <em>Today</em>, with the relationship between hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo reportedly being strained. </p> <p>According to reports to <a href="https://www.newidea.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>New Idea</em></a>, Stefanovic and Abo have been at odds over a reported $700,000 pay gap, with Karl reportedly earning $1.5million a year for his hosting duties while Abo brings home $800,000 a year.</p> <p>Despite the rumours of "tension" over the six-figure pay gap, Nine's director of morning television Steven Burling told <em><a href="https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/morning-shows/channel-9-denies-salary-leak-is-causing-tension-on-today-show/news-story/ecb1489015c2b038fd968652e9e0a6b8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">news.com.au</a></em> that the rumours are "not even remotely correct".</p> <p>"The salary figures for our network talent published last week in various outlets were not even remotely correct.

Ten slams “misleading” Masterchef rumours

<p>Channel 10 have put an end to rumours surrounding the next season of<em> Masterchef Australia</em>, in the wake of false reports circling that they were on the hunt for a new judge. </p> <p>In the wake of chef Jock Zonfrillo’s passing, rumours have circulated that the network was looking for a replacement. And according to a report from the <em>Daily Mail</em>, they even had a few frontrunners in mind. </p> <p>The publication claimed that no well-known chef was off the cards, and that while it was a “sombre” affair, an insider had informed them that conversations had begun, despite their ongoing grieving process.</p> <p>Their insider reportedly stated that the final decision would come down to on-screen chemistry, not existing popularity, as “that really earned Jock the position originally”.</p> <p>They suggested that Zonfrillo had been “a dark horse”, but that his chemistry with fellow judges Melissa Leong and Andy Allen had been what won everyone over, and that “the new host will need that more than anything”. </p> <p>The<em> Daily Mail</em> went on to list their reported shortlist of contenders for the position, from the likes of former<em> Masterchef </em>stars Dan Churchill and Hayden Quinn, author Danielle Alvarez, Hugh Allen, Josh Niland, Joel Bickford, Alessandro Pavoni, and Jordan Toft. </p> <p>Their most notable, however, was Poh Ling Yeow, who had made a return to the series a few nights prior.</p> <p>However, as Channel 10 have informed <em>news.com.au</em>, none of this is true. </p> <p>“Casting for the next season of <em>Masterchef Australia </em>has not commenced,” a spokesperson for the network declared. “To suggest otherwise is completely false and misleading.”</p> <p>Zonfrillo, as well as Leong and Allen, had only joined the cast of <em>Masterchef </em>in 2019. Their line-up marked a significant change for the series, with former longtime judges Matt Preston, George Calombaris, and Gary Mehigan exiting the hit cooking competition after nearly a decade at the helm.</p> <p>And although they hadn’t possessed the same public profile as the former batch, Zonfrillo and his fellow judges had proven a major success with viewers, with the show powering on in the ratings realm. </p> <p>The 2023 season - Zonfrillo’s last - had welcomed strong viewership for the network as well, and while many may continue to speculate about the following season, Channel 10 remain firm that pre-production will not get underway until much later in 2023. </p> <p><em>Images: Masterchef Australia / Ten </em></p>

Sarah Harris opens up about Dr Chris Brown dating rumours

<p><em>The Project</em> host Sarah Harris has denied allegations she is dating Dr Chris Brown.</p> <p>The 41-year-old, who announced her split from ex-husband Tom Ward in March 2021, was roasted about the rumours on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on May 8.</p> <p>Radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O weren’t convinced by the reports so they called up Harris live on air to get some answers.</p> <p>"Oh, my God, you two!” said Harris after picking up the phone, evidently caught off guard.</p> <p>When asked if she was “sleeping with” the <em>Bondi Vet</em> star, 44, the journalist said, “No!”</p> <p>“You know my aunt called and checked as well. No, it's hogwash,” she said, adding that she had “no idea” where the tabloids got their claims from.</p> <p>“I haven't even had my second coffee yet, you two,' Sarah laughed. “I'm too busy and boring [for this].”</p> <p>Brown has remained silent about the rumours. Kyle and Jackie O did attempt to call him on air, but he didn’t answer.</p> <p>The <em>I’m a Celebrity </em>host, who dated TV presenter Roz Kelly in 2012 and actress Kassandra Clementi in 2014, is renowned for keeping his love life out of the public eye.</p> <p>His last relationship was with influencer Brooke Meredith from 2020 to 2022.</p> <p>Speaking to the Something to Talk About podcast in April 2023, Brown revealed he prefers not to subject his love life to public scrutiny.</p> <p>“The challenge is that it's hard enough to meet the right person anyway,” he explained.</p> <p>“That extra layer of speculation and interest… once you're actually in a relationship it's easy, but it's meeting that person at the start that's really hard.”</p> <p>Brown, who <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/the-doctor-is-out-chris-brown-changes-the-script" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quit Channel 10</a> and will transition to Seven Network in July, shared that media speculation about his romantic interests is “funny” to him, but can take a toll on his loved ones.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Harris announced her split from IT specialist husband Tom Ward in March 2021, after seven years of marriage.</p> <p>The former couple share custody of sons Paul, seven, and Harry, five.</p> <p><em>Image credit: Instagram</em></p>

We travelled together on tour last year and we’re going again this year.”</p> <p>Hatzi has her own exciting new venture as she is now a new face of Bondi Sands, which Kyrgios teased on social media could lead to his “early retirement”.</p> <p>“He’s really supportive, I’m really lucky to have him,” she said.</p> <p>Hatzi also touched on her boyfriend’s previous comments that she is “the one”.</p> <p>In February 2022, Kyrgios was asked by a fan if he knew Hatzi was the one when he first saw her, which he responded with “yes”.</p> <p>She smiled at the comment but revealed that the pair were not planning their engagement “yet”.</p> <p>“I mean, if it happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t,” she said.</p> <p>“I’m just going with the flow and we’re happy and healthy and, yeah, that’s all that matters.”</p> <p><em>Image credits: Instagram</em></p>
