Legendary star Martha Stewart spotted at iconic Sydney mansion wearing silky negligee

Big-name international star Martha Stewart has been spotted at the Crypto Castle in Sydney with a tall, dark and handsome mystery man.
In a sexy video sent to news.com.au today, America's home-making queen was seen at the party palace located on a cliffside in South Coogee.
In the steamy new clip, in which Stewart is believed to be the face of a new ad campaign, the 83-year-old lifestyle guru and businesswoman is seen wearing a teal-coloured satin robe over a matching silk negligee.
The legendary star is seated in an armchair in front of an iPhone set up on a tripod, with the stunning uninterrupted ocean views in the backdrop.
As she makes sultry faces at the camera, an attractive man walks into view, seemingly wearing nothing under a teal robe that matches Stewart's.
The video is sure to make waves on social media – something Stewart is intimately familiar with. The star is no stranger to going viral after a smouldering poolside selfie she posted to Instagram in 2020 nearly broke the internet.
In the ultimate thirst trap, Stewart rocked a navy swimsuit as she puckered up her lips alluringly at the camera from her home's backyard pool in the Hamptons in Long Island in New York.
'My pool in East Hampton is the place to be on a 89 degree day!' she captioned the selfie at the time.
The photo clocked up hundreds and thousands of 'likes' within minutes on Instagram alone.
Off the back of that ageless selfie, Stewart then became the oldest cover star to grace the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 2023, aged 81 at the time.
Stewart was in Sydney this past May for an intimate In Conversation with Martha Stewart event at the ICC Theatre for the Vivid festival.
'Last evening in Sydney I spoke to a large audience of approximately 3500 aussies, Interviewed on stage by Benjamin Law,' she shared on Instagram back in May, alongside photos of her outside the Opera House.
'Celebrating 'Vivid Sydney' the largest gathering of its kind in the southern hemisphere, which is meant to encourage tourism in this beautiful city, we, covered a wide variety of subjects about career, life, goals, and even gardening! The audience was lively and interested and we had a great time.'
Sounds like Stewart had a great time at the Crypto Castle too …

‘What a lunatic': Jackie O admits to controversial bathroom act

Jackie 'O' Henderson has revealed she's very much guilty of 'bathroom camping', a phenomenon Gen Z is obsessed with. You might think going to the bathroom at a social event, lingering in the toilet and doing some doom scrolling on your phone doesn't have a name, but you'd be wrong. Gen Z loves to come up with names for everything, and in 2025, that is now called 'bathroom camping'. To be clear bathroom camping can also be something you do in your own home for comfort or if you're just desperate for privacy. Henderson explained on The Kylie and Jackie O Show that she does get 'overwhelmed' at social functions and takes solace in the loo. 'It becomes – when there's too many people I don't know, I get a bit overwhelmed,' she explained. The radio star's co-host, Sandilands, seemed genuinely puzzled by the idea of hanging out in a bathroom. 'So what? Are you worried about them looking at you?' he asked. 'No. It is a brain drain, like sometimes it becomes very draining for me,' she explained. That didn't seem to clear up any confusion for Sandilands who continued to pepper her with questions. 'So you can't handle being around normal people?' he asked. 'I can't handle being around a large group of people where I have to small talk a lot. I hate that,' she explained. 'So that becomes a brain drain. And so what I do is I go to the bathroom and I just sit there and have time out, and I just chill.' Sandilands remained baffled. 'What fun! You'd never forget to invite Jackie to a party,' he joked. Henderson kept trying to explain, saying sometimes in social situations she just needs 'alone time' for a little recharge, but Sandilands remained dubious. 'What a lunatic,' he mused. 'I thought that too. I thought I was a lunatic, but apparently this is quite the thing,' she argued. 'It now got a name for it. People do this. I'm not alone. It's called bathroom camping.' Henderson's not wrong it certainly is a very big thing. The phrase 'bathroom camping' has garnered over 10 million views on TikTok. People online are also divided on the act with a lot of people arguing it is 'rude' to do when you're out in public. 'Bathroom camping in public is crazy and inconsiderate,' one noted. 'I'm embarrassed by how selfish people from my generation are,' another said. 'Bathroom camping outside your house is so rude if there's one bathroom,' someone mused. On the other hand, others argue that it is perfectly okay to take time for yourself when you need to. 'Such a relatable concept! Sometimes, we all need a little escape to recharge and gather our thought,' one argued. 'It is one place we don't get bothered,' someone else pointed out. 'I used to lie on the bathroom floor for hours. It felt so peaceful and calming for some odd reasons,' another shared. 'People think I'm crazy but I swear any bathroom is my safe space,' someone else noted.

Newborn baby dies from rare genetic condition which scans failed to pick up

Moments after Dylan and Rochelle Evrard were pronounced husband and wife, they were showered with pink confetti. Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Want to Have Fun played over a loudspeaker as they celebrated with family and friends. WARNING: This article includes information and images relating to pregnancy loss and neonatal loss, which some readers may find distressing. The newlyweds were expecting their first baby and their Gold Coast wedding in March 2023 doubled as a gender reveal. Rochelle was 22 weeks' pregnant. Milli Rose Remidy Evrard was conceived naturally after years of trying. Rochelle had severe endometriosis — when tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the uterus, affecting a woman's ability to conceive. Surgery paved the way for pregnancy. The Evrards' baby daughter was born by caesarean section in the Pindarra Private Hospital at Benowa, on the southern Gold Coast, about four months after their wedding. Their tiny, much-wanted, baby girl had two broken arms and two broken legs after the delivery. Scans and tests during the pregnancy had failed to pick up Milli had an extremely rare genetic condition, despite Rochelle complaining about failing to feel her moving during the pregnancy. "My whole pregnancy, I was expressing that I was a bit concerned," she said. "I never had a kick count." Within hours of her birth on July 14, Milli was transferred to the Mater Mothers' Hospital neonatal critical care unit (NCCU) in Brisbane. She opened her eyes and locked them onto her dad Dylan as she was placed in an ambulance for the drive north to Brisbane. Milli died in her parents' arms six days later. Amid the grief, they feel blessed they had almost a week with her. "She was beautiful," Rochelle said. "When we touched her, she reacted. She couldn't move her body but her little toes would go or her little fingers. The Evrards' home at Mudgeeraba, in the Gold Coast hinterland, had been meticulously prepared to take their baby home. They had a baby capsule in their car, a baby bath in the bathroom and a nursery decorated in pink. "I remember years ago somebody saying, 'No one ever prepares you for an empty capsule in the car when your baby dies,'" Rochelle said. "When we were in the last day with Milli, I just said, 'Someone needs to go find our car and remove the capsule.' "And so, someone did, and for months I didn't even know who had it and I didn't care but I just did not want to drive home with an empty car capsule." Rochelle was 37 at the time and unsure whether she would be able to have any more children. "Things were not on our side fertility-wise." Before she died, doctors took skin biopsies from Milli for genetic testing. Months later, the tests revealed she had nemaline rod myopathy, a musculoskeletal disorder that affects about one in 50,000 live births. Further testing of both Rochelle and Dylan found neither carried the genetic variant that resulted in Milli's condition. Queensland Children's Hospital clinical geneticist David Coman said her disorder was caused by a mutation in the ACTA1 gene. Rather than being inherited from her parents, Professor Coman said the genetic variant was known medically as a "de novo mutation" — a gene that spontaneously changed at the point of conception or during early cell division. "If you can figure why that happens, you'll win a Nobel prize for genetics," he said. Milli had what was effectively a small spelling mistake in her DNA with big consequences. Her muscles were so weak she had to be put on life support soon after her birth. Professor Coman said her bones were also affected. "Babies who don't move in the womb often have really thin bones," he said. "It's kind of like the equivalent of osteoporosis. It you have surgery, and you lie in bed for six weeks, you lose a lot of bone density." Professor Coman said sophisticated genetic sequencing did not always pinpoint a cause of death, but it was important to try. "In a third of rare presentations, we don't get an answer … so, we do have families that are in limbo," he said. "But for this family and families where we get an answer, even if it's a life-limiting answer, there is still what we call dignity in diagnosis. It gave them information. That's really important for the grieving process as well, an understanding of what happened and why. Armed with the knowledge they had not passed the disorder on to their daughter, the Evrards began in vitro fertilisation (IVF) about four months after Milli died. After a miscarriage and further endometriosis surgery, Rochelle fell pregnant again in September last year. Huey Hendrix Evrard was born in the Gold Coast Private Hospital on May 2. Rochelle, who has a tattoo on her right leg in memory of Milli, admits she struggled through Huey's pregnancy after losing her first-born. "Even though I knew he was healthy, and he didn't have Milli's condition, I just kept saying: 'What if he dies? What if he just dies?'" the 39-year-old said. "I wasn't guaranteed that he was going to be here at the end, and it was very stressful. "At one stage, I was going in three times a week. I was going in very panicked, quite often for reassurance … just into the maternity ward. I'd go sit in there for a few hours. They would check his heart rate and his oxygen and just kind of reassure me." Not even three months into their life with Huey, Rochelle is relishing the constant feeding routine — even the late night and early morning wakeups. "He sounds like a goat in the middle of the night. He's very loud," she said with a laugh. "Last night, we were up probably every two hours, but I just love it. You appreciate it a whole lot more when you didn't have it last time, you really do. "Huey's been very healing — more than I could have imagined."

‘Lives have been detonated': Terrifying fact about Coldplay CEO

The memes, oh, the memes! In the week since Andy Byron, the married CEO of Astronomer, and the company's similarly married head of HR Kristin Cabot were caught embracing on camera at a Coldplay concert, the internet has responded by what it does best: Copying and pasting. Heads and TV characters and politicians. The meme output of Coldplaygate has been brilliant, prodigious, hilarious and the whole saga has been social media spawned, obsessively followed schadenfreude-laced soap. In short, the internet has been having a right good old time of it. But with the vast benefit of more than seven days of hindsight, Coldplaygate should scare the pants off all of us. Never before in history has one mistake, one moment, one stupid word or selfish deed or bad choice had the power to tear apart lives and to devastate peoples' worlds. To err is human – but for someone to film that erring and share it and have it so noxiously trend is decidedly 2025. Andy Warhol argued that everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame; today that phrase sounds less like a promise and more like a chilling threat. What Coldplaygate lays bare is the danger of what happens when the very human impulse for shaming and a good old fashioned pile on is combined with the ubiquity of phones and the terrifying swiftness of the algorithm. Virality and internet fame are now so often not a shortcut to celebrity and cash, something to aspire to, but something to fear. What did Bryon and Cabot's lives and families look like at 6pm on Wednesday, July 16, the actual date of the concert? Very cookie-cutter, American dream-ish by all accounts. Spouses, kids, successful careers, impressive houses. Both were (and reportedly are) married and had big jobs at Astronomer, a billion-dollar AI company. Then, in the space of 12 hours, Byron and Cabot went from being anonymous professionals to having hit a degree of internet infamy I'm not sure we've ever seen before. That Wednesday night they attended a Coldplay gig at Boston's Gillette Stadium where the roving 'kiss cam' zeroed in on them as Byron held Cabot in his arms. Their immediate, instinctual reaction was called out by the band's frontman Chris Martin who told the roughly 55,000-strong crowd, 'Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' The kiss cam moment had been filmed by 28-year – old Coldplay fan Grace Springer, who later that night, about 1am Boston time, posted the moment on TikTok. The app's black box algorithm did its thing and within two hours the internet was reportedly already on the case and Byron and Cabot's identities were being ferreted out. By about 3am there was an uptick in Google searches for their names, Business Insider reports. Before Springer had gone to bed the video had 'a couple of thousand views,' she later said. 'I woke up to seven million.' Byron and Cabot's lives and their families' lives, had been detonated and the internet was hoovering it up, devouring the messiness, the stupidity, the ego. The video only spread and spread. By midday on Thursday, less than 12 hours after Springer had posted the clip, it had generated more than 30,000 posts on X, per Insider. A few hours later, by that afternoon, Byron had been Googled more than two million times. Within 48 hours he had resigned as Astronomer CEO and his wife Megan Kerrigan Byron, had removed 'Byron' from her surname on her Facebook account before deactivating the page. Cabot has also since resigned from Astronomer and was photographed this week without her wedding ring. The terminal velocity of this is breathtaking. When Cabot finished her working day on that Wednesday, the day the video was filmed, she was a seemingly normal 56-year-old; now Us Weekly, Page Six and the Daily Mail are doing background pieces about her. The New York Times, The (London) Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN have all reported on this story. On Friday the Mail published photos of her in her garden at home. Just think about that – two weeks ago she was nobody and now she has a paparazzo outside her house. The numbers around the Coldplay video are impossible to rationally compute. On Springer's original account alone, the clip has been viewed more than 127 million times. On the X accounts of leading Gen Z celebrity news sites Pop Craze and Pop Base, it has racked up more than 217 million views. The combined viewer count on these accounts alone – 344 million – equated to every man, woman and child in the United States and four million Canadians having watched Byron and Cabot canoodling. That is a nightmarish level of exposure. George Orwell warned about a dystopian, governmental Big Brother – he could never have predicted that we would be both the watchers and the watched. We are everyone else's big brothers. The degree of surveillance we now all live under, the fact that cameras are everywhere, means that mistakes and bad choices can devastate multiple lives in a way they never have before been able to. RIP privacy. Anywhere and everywhere. Someone is always watching. For a life to change in a moment, it used to take a bad diagnosis, being in the wrong place at a violent time, Mother Nature running her angry course. Now you just need to have someone pointing a phone in your direction at an inopportune moment. What has also become clear in recent days is that Coldplaygate says something about how, in 2025, internet shaming, as New York University professor and investor Scott Galloway has argued, has become a form of group entertainment. Some time around the 900s, the English took a break from getting the plague to invent the stocks. It was about ritualised, communal humiliation and shaming, a community being given permission to jeer and use up rotten spuds, a wrongdoer punished not physically but humiliating them. Coldplaygate is a replay of that, minus the mouldy, lobbable marrows. Who wins here? Byron and Cabot's spouses maybe but what a humiliating, gut punch of a way to learn about alleged infidelity. Even Grace Springer who filmed it and now has more than 51,000 followers (and 11 million likes) has not really tangibly benefited, telling British breakfast TV this week, 'I've actually made no money from the video itself or the views'. This week she added a link to her TikTok account for donations to pay off her reported $121,000 in student loans. She has not revealed if anyone has given her a $1.
