Abbie Chatfield opens up about X-rated act while on holiday
One of Australia's most well known media personalities has revealed one X-rated thing she is looking forward to on her upcoming trip to Europe.
Abbie Chatfield is currently holidaying in Europe with her boyfriend Adam Hyde, one half of Peking Duk, in honour of her 30th birthday.
But, during an Ask Me Anything on her popular Listnr podcast It's A Lot, she revealed one thing she was really excited about ahead of the trip.
'For those of you who don't know, I went to a sex club in Sydney with my friends and I walked in, and the girl behind the bar goes, 'It's Abbie Chatfield,' Chatfield said on the podcast.

Being recognised soured the experience for the 30-year-old, who was in lingerie at the time, and therefore she did not partake in any of the activities at the venue.
'I felt deeply uncomfortable and anxious the entire time, people were coming up to me and recognising me — no one's allowed phones so it was actually worse,' she said.
Chatfield added she and Hyde, who also performs under the name Keli Holiday, have been monogamous throughout their relationship — and will likely continue to do so. But, the trip to Europe allows them to explore their sexuality as a couple without being recognised.
'I've been gagging for a threesome,' Chatfield said bluntly.
'I've been gagging to f*** a woman, you know I'm a bisexual girly pop. But we haven't been able to — like, in Australia, who are we going to have a threesome with?'
Chatfield said there was a difference between her sharing her sex life publicly, and others talking about her sex life. She also expressed that she enjoys the idea of watching Hyde have sex with another woman.

'The shame kink is only in the moment, not once it's over,' she said.
She said the couple have spoken a lot about experiencing a sex club in Europe, including their boundaries and what they are willing to do.
'I think on the first time we go, we should go and agree to only f*** each other and not touch anyone else,' she said.
She said the next time they go to a sex club, they will talk more about what they would be willing to do outside of their relationship. Chatfield expressed that she only wanted to have sexual relationships outside of Hyde with a woman — she said she didn't want to make any other men happy.
'No men I meet in a sex club will ever respect me as much as Adam — and I've never really been into random hook ups,' she said.

Tracking Newcastle's live music map
Newcastle musician Ben Pittman of country boogie band Grand Pricks had a rare week to himself recently and decided to see live gigs in town every single night of the week. On Monday he was at fortnightly '90s-inspired grunge jam Temple of the Stag, at The Stag and Hunter Hotel in Mayfield. On Tuesday he went to Sphere, a jazz gig at The Grand Hotel in Newcastle. On Wednesday he watched Breeze at Newcastle Yacht Club and loved it so much he went to see them again at the Lass O'Gowrie Hotel, Wickham, on Thursday, followed by more NIMA Jazz at The Grand. On Friday he saw Chai Chester at The Oriental Hotel, Cooks Hill. On Saturday he saw The Lairs at Carrington Bowling Club, Andy Abra at The Lot in Islington and Johnston City at The Stag and Hunter. On Sunday he played an afternoon gig at Teralba Bowling Club and then went on to see The Milestones at The Wickham Park Hotel, Islington. If you have cash for a drink or two, maybe even the occasional $20 for an entry fee here and there, Newcastle's live music scene can accommodate you every day of the week. Pittman is the founder of Let's Talk Gigs Newcastle Facebook Group, a good place to visit when making last-minute live music plans. Music photographer Ella Grace Paterson is acutely aware that people book at the very last minute. When she's not behind the camera, she works with a local booking agency called Gumnut Artists and at The Press Book House. "There has been a resurgence in support for live music and showing up for shows," she says. If Instagram is where you get your live music information from, she recommends following witchhouse_newcastle. Lead singer of jump jive rhythm and blues band Fish Fry, Justin Collins, has watched the music scene change in Newcastle since his band Yes Commissioner did its first gig in 1984 at The Grand Hotel. Fish Fry did their first gig there in 1993. For at least 10 years he's also played regularly at Queens Wharf Hotel. He used to play a lot at The Cambridge with House Quake. His wife Gina plays bass alongside him in their funk and soul band Pow Wow. She used to love playing gigs at The Wickham Park Hotel. They both recall great old venues like The Palais, the old Workers Club and The Casbah. The couple hope that bands, especially newer, younger bands, aren't getting taken advantage of and playing for too little money, or even for free. It's an all-too-common concern that comes up when I talk to musicians in Newcastle. Frontman of The Breeze and the newly-created Dapper DILFS, Matthew McFarlane, has been playing live music in Newcastle for 25 years. His career started at The Lass O'Gowrie where he used to play "great" and "terrible" gigs with his band The Stain. "They used to have this Wednesday night and anyone could play, so I pretty much learned how to do stuff in front of people," he recalls, adding that the venue "has a new life as a young person's venue". "They let us in every now and then," he says of his current band. The Breeze has had a regular Wednesday night residency at Newcastle City Yacht Club since October last year. McFarlane has just committed to playing indefinitely on Wednesdays. They are also playing on Sunday, July 13, at The Crown and Anchor Hotel. Like Pittman, when McFarlane isn't on stage, you can find him in the crowd. "If you wanted to do a ticketed event, I think The (Hamilton) Station Hotel and The Stag are probably the two joints," he says. He recommends Coal and Cedar for late-night live music mid-week, and he also loves The Oriental, The Great Northern Hotel and King Street Hotel. He says Goldbergs Coffee House on Darby Street has started doing Monday night jazz as well. Paterson books free live music on Friday afternoons at The Press Book House on Newcastle's Hunter Street. In June the venue hosted Noah Church, and this month the artist is ChaiChester, who will premiere a new song for each gig. Justin Teale is the frontman of Novocastrian-based band Dust, which has taken off since 2020 and toured with Block Party and internationally. Teale describes the band's music as "rocky, saxy, pretty big sound". Their first show was a seated gig at The Cambridge during the pandemic. During Teale's relatively short music career, the scene has unquestionably improved. His band has toured Australia while enjoying Newcastle as a home base. Teale personally likes playing at The Oak, Tighes Hill, and the Croatian Club in Wickham. "People care about going to shows, and not much else is going on. People are always keen," he says of Newcastle. He advises emerging musicians not to be afraid to play outside of Newcastle, and to collaborate not only with bands but with rappers and electronic artists as well. He encourages them to make each show count, don't spread yourself too thin, and always keep the crowd wanting more. When asked about his next gig in Newcastle, he was elusive, saying it could be in September. Some venues like The Lass O'Gowrie Hotel, The Grand Hotel and The Wickham Park Hotel remain Novocastrian stalwarts for live music. Interesting new places have popped up, like the live band room at King Street, The Den (adjacent to Rogue Scholar) and Flamingos Live, previously Lizotte's. Some favourites are now empty, like The Cambridge, Franky's Noodles and The Family Hotel. A lot is going on and it's not hard to find a venue and vibe that's just right.

Bec Judd: Influencer and model admits to Botox, filler
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. Rebecca Judd says she believes the time is right for women to be honest and open about their cosmetic enhancements, saying she no longer wants to hide what 'work' she has had done. 'I think 2025 is the year that we stop gaslighting women by saying, 'I don't have any wrinkles because I sleep for eight hours, wear sunscreen and drink lots of water,'' the model and influencer told the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About. 'You get to a certain age where it's like, come on, let's be a bit more honest.' In a new interview with Stellar, Judd admits: 'I feel that this is the year where we stop bulls****ing everyone and we 'fess up'. 'I'm 42. I don't have a line on my face,' Judd continues, 'I'm telling you it's not because I get eight hours sleep a night, all right?' Listen to Rebecca Judd on a new episode of the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, below: Rebecca Judd on the set of Stellar's latest cover shoot, out today. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar She about spoke the catch-22 that many women – including Hollywood star Anne Hathaway and Kardashian matriarch Kendall Jenner – find themselves in when it comes to their looks, due to societal expectations and pressures around beauty standards. 'I think standards are so impossible for women right now. Everyone's talking about Lindsay Lohan's face and Anne Hathaway's face and Kris Jenner's face,' Judd told Something To Talk About, in a new episode out today. 'There's one camp saying, 'They've had work, how vain are they? How superficial, how shallow,'' Judd noted. 'And then you've got the other camp saying when women don't get work done and they show signs of ageing, grey hairs, wrinkles and sagging skin, 'She's let herself go, she should go and get some work.' So that person then feels pressured to go and get work done, and: 'Oh … she's overdone it.' 'And the cycle starts again. Women just can't win.' Anne Hathaway raised eyebrows for her new look. Picture: Getty Images Kris Jenner made headlines recently for her fresh-faced appearance. Picture: AFP Speaking to the Steller podcast, Judd - who has four children with her husband, former AFL star Chris Judd - reflected on her past attitude toward being caught out by paparazzi en route to cosmetic appointments, and how she once feared anyone finding out. 'It feels really liberating to just let it go and be honest, because you're not trying to hide any secrets anymore,' Judd told Something To Talk About. Listen to Rebecca Judd on a new episode of the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, below: Rebecca Judd is on the cover of today's Stellar. Picture: Stellar Picture: Instagram 'I remember five, seven years ago, I was going to get some injectables and there was a pap on my tail and I couldn't shake him. 'I thought, gosh, if I get photographed walking into a clinician and her name was on the sign where I'd be walking in, it'd be a front-page story and it would be so embarrassing. 'So I'd drive around, he'd keep following me, so then I wouldn't go into the appointment, I'd just drive home. 'Now, if a pap followed me, I wouldn't even care. It's like, get the photo, it's fine. I just give zero f****s now.'

Star breaks silence on shock MAFS romance
Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Journalist and television presenter Karla Grant has revealed for the first time how she and her boyfriend, former Married At First Sight star Nasser Sultan, got together. In an exclusive interview with Stellar, the Living Black host, who was married to fellow journalist Stan Grant for 16 years before their divorce in 2000, said the unlikely pair had a lot more in common than what people would think. 'I was taken by surprise myself,' she said, of her relationship with Sultan. 'Even though we're very different – I'm a serious, Walkley Award-winning journalist, and he's from Married At First Sight, so we couldn't be more worlds apart – we just have a lot of things in common. 'We love travelling, we love going to the movies, we love theatre. There's a lot of things that we have in common that probably people on the outside don't really appreciate.' Karla Grant, right, has opened up about her relationship with former MAFS star Nasser Sultan in a new interview with Stellar. Picture: 'He kept asking me out!' Karla Grant. Picture: The pair first met at an event in 2021. Sultan, who was on the 2018 season of the popular dating reality television series, confirmed their romance on Instagram in January of this year. 'The saying is timing is everything? Well, the universe has delivered a beautiful, smart and an intelligent woman and I'm excited,' Sultan wrote. In the comments, the 56-year-old noted how beautiful Grant was and that he was 'punching'. Grant told Stellar she watches Married At First Sight every year with her daughter Lowanna and son John (who she co-parents with her ex-husband, along with their youngest son Dylan). 'So of course I was well aware of who Nasser was when he approached me,' the 60-year-old said. 'Then we just keep on running into each other at different movie screenings and events and would have a chat. 'He kept on asking me out, but I was always so busy with work and travel. Finally, I said 'yes.'' Listen to Rebecca Judd on a new episode of the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, below: Karla Grant has spoken about the toll that online abuse directed at her ex-husband, Stan Grant, has taken on her family. Picture: Sam Ruttyn As NAIDOC Week begins, Grant also spoke to Stellar about how a torrent of malicious attacks and online abuse directed at Stan in the lead up to his 2023 resignation from the ABC took a wider personal toll. 'The filthy, racist remarks online that he faced on Twitter and in social media really did affect the family,' she said. 'One of the boys, he got threats as well. It was a pretty awful time. I hope no one ever has to go through that sort of thing ever again. 'Stan and all of us as First Nations journalists are only there telling the truth. We're truth seekers.'
