Feature Video: BOY SODA - Blink Twice
Skeleton staff and a penny-pinching budget means nothing in the face of raw talent and a great collab, as proven by BOY SODA and 'Blink Twice' director Adam Saunders. Armed with a few reference images and a great track, the team set to work in visualising a clip that uses classic design elements (think movement, lighting, texture, colour and composition) to effortlessly punctuate BOY SODA's effortless panache. 'BOY SODA came to my studio with a handful of reference images that were really speaking to him, and from there, my job was to elevate and bring them to life' explains director Adam. 'We picked up a twenty dollar sheet from Spotlight and some plastic from Bunnings. Forty dollars in props all up and those sheet shots ended up coming together even better than we could've imagined. It was a true grassroots effort with a skeleton crew and help from local friends and artists.'
'I was really intent on incorporating movement into these shots whether it be through fabric playing with the wind or light revealing parts of my face, and wanted to deliver cinematic moments to accompany the music' adds BOY SODA. 'The song is about staying connected and grounded, that's how we made these visuals, with a crew of lovely and dedicated people who went above and beyond to pull together some really special moments that feel undeniable and as rich as the music.'

Sad reality of resurfaced Julian McMahon photo days after his death
A decades-old photo of Julian McMahon has resurfaced following his sad death from cancer just days ago. In the photo taken in 2001, the Australian actor is seen with Charmed co-star Shannen Doherty, who also sadly died from cancer this same month last year – he was 56, she was 53. This heartbreaking detail is not lost on fans of the fantasy drama, who pointed out the similarities between the co-stars' deaths. 'Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon from Charmed both dying from cancer in July almost a year from each other is so wild. May they both rest in peace,' one fan tweeted on X, alongside the photo of the pair snapped during the Television Critics Association Cable Tour in LA. 'I cannot believe we lost these two in less than a year,' another commented. 'This is so devastating. talented, beautiful, beloved and iconic actors of 90s/2000s. and we lost them way too young. rest in peace, julian mcmahon and shannen doherty.' 'I can't believe they're both gone, Julian McMahon and Shannen Doherty forever in our hearts,' yet another fan expressed, as one wrote, 'Shannen and Julian fought the biggest demon of all … cancer.' The pair starred on the Aaron Spelling-produced series for five years, with Doherty playing lead witch Prue Halliwell while McMahon played half-demon Cole Turner, the love interest of her sister Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano). Doherty even directed McMahon and the cast for two episodes of Season 3, titled 'The Good, the Bad and the Cursed' and 'All Hell Breaks Loose'. The pair also reportedly dated during Season 3 in 2001. But their romance was short lived when Doherty left the show. It was later revealed that she was fired due to her on-screen feud with Milano. At the time, McMahon was also going through a divorce from his second wife, Baywatch star Brooke Burns. He was also briefly married to Aussie pop star Dannii Minogue from 1994 to 1995. Away from Charmed, Doherty and McMahon starred on the 2001 TV movie Another Day, playing each other's love interests in the thriller. McMahon's Charmed co-stars were among the many to pay tribute to the star after his death from a secret battle with cancer. 'One of a kind is an understatement,' Holly Marie Combs, who played Piper Halliwell on the show, captioned her Instagram video montage. 'Your unyielding zest for life and crazy making sense of humour will be sorely missed. The joy and laughter you were the direct cause of will always be remembered.' 'I hope you find our lady friend and dance in those rose petals,' she added, referring to Doherty, who passed away on July 13, 2024. Milano also remembered her former co-star in an emotional post on Instagram. 'I'm heartbroken. Julian McMahon was magic. That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up – not just with charisma, but with kindness,' she began in part in a lengthy statement. 'We spent years together on Charmed – years of scenes, stories, and so many in-between moments. He made me feel safe as an actor. Seen as a woman. He challenged me, teased me, supported me … Julian was more than my TV husband. He was a dear friend.'

Robert Irwin issues public apology to Coffs Harbour restaurant after failing to pay for his meal
Robert Irwin has issued a lengthy apology online after failing to pay for his meal at a NSW restaurant. The Australian wildlife warrior, 21, shared a video on Instagram directed at the owners of The Jetty Pavilion in Coffs Harbour, revealing his embarrassment over his recent 'dine and dash' at their eatery while road tripping along the east coast. Irwin said he stopped in Coffs for dinner over the weekend, where he ordered a takeaway salad and quickly became distracted by a flurry of fans wanting selfies. 'I went in there, and there was a lot of people who, you know, saw me and said g'day, and wanted to have a photo. But it turned into a bit of a frenzy … It was a bit of a flurry there for a moment,' Irwin began. 'Anyway, they got the salad done super fast, I made sure I said hi to absolutely everyone, 'Cheers, thanks so much, see ya later.' 'Then the next morning wake up and realise, I never paid for my salad! I just did the old dine and dash and didn't even realise. I felt terrible.' The I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! co-host said he quickly reached out to the venue and offered to hand over his credit card details to fix up the bill, as he'd already left Coffs at that point. 'They said, 'Don't worry, just leave us a good review.' I said, 'I'll do you one better!'' Irwin continued. 'There are eight million of you guys on here [Instagram]. Go and support the Jetty Pavilion. They are the absolute best. 'I apologise again. Today is not the day I start my life of crime, as much as the tabloids would love that.' The venue hilariously reacted to the video on its official Instagram account, revealing the salad at the centre of the great Irwin dine and dash scandal: A $26 Harvest Bowl. Owners Kyle Miller and Ben Hemsworth sat down for an interview with Today Monday morning, where they assured they had no hard feelings against Irwin for his slip-up. Quite the contrary, they say he's brought money-can't-buy exposure to their business and the area of Coffs Harbour. 'Unbelievable [exposure]. I was a bit in shock,' owner Hemsworth said on-air. 'I was expecting just to see 'Jetty Pavilion has a great salad' on a Google review, and then I got a message from my daughter saying, 'Oh my god, I saw the video!' And my phone just lit up.' The pair also cheekily put majority of the blame on their 'starstruck' waitresses. 'Some of the girls got a little starstruck and forgot to accept a payment, and they came and told me a little afterwards, and I said, 'Did you get his number?'' Hemsworth said, laughing. 'It's not very common for us to get a world celebrity in the door, so we can't blame the girls for that one, I guess he's a good lookin' fella,' Miller added.

Who Is Elijah CEO hits back as ‘feud' with Sarah's Day goes viral
A popular influencer has ignited a public 'feud' with a well-known Aussie brand after claiming a brand deal she was working on for two years was axed – prompting the CEO to clap back. Sarah Stevenson, best known as Sarah's Day online, attracted over 1.2 million views with a video announcing she was no longer working with Who Is Elijah, an Australian fragrance company owned by Raquel Bouris and her husband Adam. In the 1-minute clip, Stevenson tells her 1.2 million followers that her collaboration with the beauty brand was 'no longer happening' after two years of work, explaining she was 'frustrated' as she had no idea why the partnership was binned. But after Stevenson posted the video captioned, 'not the update I anticipated but onto bigger and better thingsï¸�', Ms Bouris said she was inundated with messages from random people online, causing the CEO to respond. is not suggesting Stevenson had any knowledge or involvement with the messages, nor that she encouraged them. 'It's disappointing to see this false narrative about myself and my brand,' she told 'The decision to pause the planned perfume collaboration was not made lightly and certainly not without reason. 'As our brand expands rapidly across international markets, we have had to make some tough strategic choices to protect our global distribution plans and long-term vision. It wasn't a reflection of Sarah or the project itself.' However, Stevenson's video – in which she pleaded with fans to 'wipe it' from their memories and repeatedly stated 'I'm fine, I'm fine,' – had already sparked an onslaught of speculation on social media, with many suggesting Who Is Elijah was making a 'huge mistake'. The avalanche of social media commentary following Stevenson's video led Ms Bouris to post her own public statement in which she addressed what she claimed was a 'false narrative'. 'We ended a contract well within the agreed terms, there was no breach,' she stated. 'The decision to end the collab was sent by me personally to the other party via email … and I left the door open for further discussion but what I received in response was unprofessional.' She went on to explain that if the collaboration had gone ahead, Who Is Elijah would have been 'responsible for everything including fragrance sampling, product manufacturing, logistics, compliance and global registration. In contrast, she said Stevenson's 'involvement stopped at the sampling stage'. She also claimed that any marketing shared by Stevenson on the jilted collaboration was done off her own back, insisting she was not obligated to at that stage of the process. 'What is being said is deeply misleading and is harmful to the brand,' Ms Bouris concluded. 'This was a business decision, we offered for the project to continue under the party's own brand with our full support, but that offer was declined. 'There's no scandal here, no villain. Just a strategic decision for the future of my business, one I fully stand by.' Ms Bouris also claimed the fitness influencer's suggestion she had done 'two years of work' on the now-axed fragrance was 'simply untrue' as the pair only began communicating on the potential project in May 2024. In a statement to Stevenson disagreed with Bouris' characterisation of when the work started. 'One of my main roles and obligations within our contract was to 'organically promote the product' which of course I was excited to do,' the 32-year-old said. 'I was documenting and creating content in good faith that this collaboration would come to fruition and the finished product would be accessible to my audience. 'Our contract allowed either party to terminate on 6 months given notice. Ultimately I did not see this coming after working on this together for such an extended period of time.' With the public battle lines drawn, the videos have gone viral causing some social media users to weigh in on the 'feud' and declare the situation 'salty'. One brand expert explained on TikTok that since launching overseas, Who Is Elijah has become a 'clean, luxe brand that has been able to translate to the celeb spaces'. Whereas in contrast 'Stevenson is a mum influencer from 'straya' and simply is not the brand's target market anymore. Stevenson, who found online fame in the mid 2010s and has been at the centre of several social media controversies over the years, said she now just wants to move on from the ordeal and didn't anticipate the reaction. 'This is a collaboration that obviously wasn't meant to be and that's OK. I truly wish Who is Elijah the best in their future endeavours and I'm excited to be focusing on upcoming projects of my own,' she told Stevenson also stressed her initial video announcing the cancelled collaboration was 'was in no way malicious'. Ms Bouris launched her 'luxury' perfume brand in 2018 after recreating a scent she uncovered while attending Coachella festival the year before. Fast-forward seven years and the genderless fragrance company now has 15 different scents and is reportedly worth a cool $20 million.
