Richard Wilkins left red-faced following wild antics at Delta Goodrem's Malta wedding

Daily Mail​4 days ago
Delta Goodrem has left Richard Wilkins looking red-faced, after hinting at his wild antics at her lavish wedding to Matthew Copley in Malta last month.
The Australian singer, 40, appeared on Today on Tuesday, and was asked by co-host Karl Stefanovic if Wilkins, 71, 'behaved' himself at the ceremony.
'I can't confirm or deny!' Delta responded.
The camera then captured Wilkins, 71, looking visibly embarrassed as he turned away and covered his mouth with his hand.
'Hey, Dickie looks worried!' co-host Sarah Abo quipped, before asking the veteran presenter: 'Is there anything you would like to tell us?'

'Geez, stitch-up Tuesday! Even when you are on the other side of the world,' Wilkins cheekily responding, before conducting a field report from California.
While in Malta for the wedding, Wilkins stripped down to his striped boardshorts for a dip alongside girlfriend Mia Hawkswell.
He showed off his beach body before giving Mia a cuddle in the water as the two giggled together during a soak.
Mia was flaunting her fit physique in a chic black bikini and appeared to go makeup-free for the outing.
Wilkins broke his silence on his new relationship with Mia in May last year after they were pictured holding hands.
It comes after Wilkins' girlfriend Mia Hawkswell - who is Delta Goodrem's makeup artist of eight years - provided fans with a behind-the-scenes look at the Aussie star's wedding.
Mia has been behind some of Delta's biggest looks, including her Innocent Eyes 20th Anniversary Tour shows in Sydney and Melbourne, a Revlon campaign and a number of public appearances.
In June, she opened up about Delta's biggest event of all - her wedding to Matthew Copley in Malta - sharing a glimpse of what went down at the singer's nuptials after doing makeup for the seven bridesmaids.
'Her whole squad was there, and it was the most beautiful energy, full of love and support,' she told Nine Honey, adding that the wedding was a 'dream' to be a part of.
'The entire week was everything you'd want, an intimate celebration of love,' she said of the nuptials.
'The energy was pure love and happiness, and so fun! I want to relive each event. They've set the bar very high!'
She added that Delta's makeup brief for the bridesmaids was straightforward: 'What the girls want... Make them feel like themselves.'
The process required 'teamwork', she said, with the bridesmaids doing their own lips or mascara to save a few minutes between each person, which they were very understanding and helpful about.
Earlier this year, Delta made headlines as she married the love of her life, Matthew Copley, in a stunning European ceremony.
The pop star shared the first look at her 'fairytale' wedding with Vogue Australia.
Delta and Matthew exchanged vows in the historic St Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, which was built in the 12th century.
The star-studded guest list included Channel Nine presenter Renee Bargh and Wilkins' influencer son, Christian.

Tobey Maguire and ex Jennifer Meyer 'still dealing with child custody issues'... 9 years after splitting

Tobey Maguire and his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer are still sorting their custody issues five years after they finalized their divorce. The Spider-Man actor, 50, and his former spouse, 48, share 16-year-old son Otis Tobias and 18-year-old Ruby Sweetheart. Maguire is asking for joint legal and physical custody of his son Otis in response to his ex's initial divorce filing from October 2020, according to documents obtained by People. He also asked that child support be determined through private mediation. Jennifer and Tobey met in 2003 while he was shooting Seabiscuit. They were engaged three years later, and welcomed their daughter Ruby in November 2006. They went on to marry the following year, and welcomed their second child, Otis, in 2009. The Hollywood power couple split in 2016 and filed for divorce in 2020. Their 2016 statement on their split mentioned their children. 'After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple,' they began. 'As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship.' Tobey appears to be single while Jennifer is engaged to billionaire heir Geoffrey Ogunlesi, the son of Nigerian billionaire lawyer and investment banker Adebayo Ogunlesi. Maguire and Meyer reunited last month for Ruby's high school graduation. 'Congratulations Ruby!!!!! ♥️ Graduate of our dreams. We are so proud of you in every way. We love love love love love you baby ♥️' Meyer wrote in the caption. In December, Jennifer was spotted with her fiance and her son during a rare outing together. The trio were seen shopping for a Christmas tree. Jennifer and Geoffrey became engaged in September. 'YES!!!' the mom-of-two wrote in the caption of the Instagram snap, along with a black heart emoji, the infinity symbol, and sparkling stars emoji. Jennifer, whose best pals are Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, and Geoffrey went red carpet official in November 2023, after dating for several months. Jen is the daughter Ron Meyer, the cofounder of CAA, and former executive at NBC, COO/President of Universal. Meanwhile Tobey was spotted getting cozy with 22-year-old Danish model Mona Tougaard a month after Meyer announced her engagement. Last summer he was linked to a string of young ladies while vacationing in Europe and New York City. Meyer has credited 'angel' Gwyneth Paltrow for her amicable divorce from the actor. Paltrow, 51 was widely ridiculed for announcing her divorce from Coldplay star Chris Martin, 47, as a 'conscious uncoupling' in 2014. But Meyer said the actress' amicable split helped her navigate her own divorce from Maguire. Speaking on the Broad Ideas podcast, jewelry designer Meyer said: 'Right when Tobey and I were starting to break up, I watched what Gwyneth Paltrow was starting to do with Chris — this conscious uncoupling that everyone was making fun of.' 'I got to see it firsthand, and it was the most beautiful thing that I had ever witnessed two human beings go through. She was so loving and kind and open to him and she created this family.' 'I was like, 'Wow, that's not what I was taught growing up. I was taught that divorce was ugly … bad and would never be good.'' Meyer asked Paltrow: 'How did you do that? Please, what do I do? Because we're just starting to break up, and it's feeling very scary. … How can we come together for [these] human[s] we both created that we love? What do we do?' Meyer added that Paltrow introduced her to Dr. Habib Sadeghi: 'She didn't tell me their process, she didn't tell me anything.' Meyer said she had 'hit the jackpot of ex-husbands' with Maguire and added the pair were still 'best friends' years after their divorce.

John Krasinski to write, direct, produce 'A Quiet Place Part III'

John Krasinski is returning to direct, write and produce ' A Quiet Place Part III.' The film has been set for a July 9, 2027 theatrical release, Paramount Pictures said Friday. The first film, released in 2018, was a box-office smash, earning some $341 million worldwide on a budget of only $17 million. It also established Krasinski, who starred alongside his wife Emily Blunt in the post-apocalyptic horror, as a bankable filmmaker. He returned to write and direct 'A Quiet Place Part II," the release of which was delayed over a year due to the pandemic. The franchise also expanded to include a prequel, 'A Quiet Place: Day One.' Krasinski produced but handed over the reins to filmmaker Michael Sarnoski. In total, the three films have grossed over $892 million. Krasinski on Friday posted a graphic with the numeral 'III' and the release date on Instagram. No other details about cast or story were immediately available.

Digested week: Smirking Gwyneth Paltrow turns Coldplay kiss-cam scandal into a marketing win

She is an actor, a businesswoman, a guru and an influencer, but at heart – let's be honest – Gwyneth Paltrow is a sales guy, who has shown us time and again via Goop how thoroughly she understands how to monetise sneering. This week, crisis PR-style, she lent her world-class expertise to Astronomer, the company that dragged everyone's eyes up to the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert two weeks ago when two of its married executives were entwined where they shouldn't have been. In the immediate aftermath of the scandal, during which the male half of the pair resigned, a widely asked question was: could the mass public shaming of two executives from a company no one had heard of – 'a niche tech startup with roughly 300 employees', as the New York Times put it – be considered a net win or a loss for Astronomer? It was a tough one to judge. On the one hand, all publicity is good publicity. On the other, is being known as the company that brought us two pilloried presumed adulterers necessarily a recommendation for its data and AI services? Enter Paltrow, with her instinctive ability to ride waves of popular sentiment – and former marriage to the lead singer of Coldplay – appearing in a video released by Astronomer's social media team. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,' said Paltrow, looking straight to camera with that slight smirk she always wears that seems to say 'members of my family happen to find me very amusing'. A series of questions then appears on screen, including 'OMG! What the actual f-.' To which Paltrow replies: 'Yes! 'Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.' And so on. It works because it's a knowing, clever spin that owns the outrage – and it's a big win for Astronomer, whose average of 150 likes on its social media posts jumped to 64,000 with Paltrow's video. It may even help rehabilitate the pair involved. Of course, the biggest win was for Paltrow and the impression she gave, brilliantly managed, of being a thoroughly and relatably good egg. Into the same midsummer vacuum where news might otherwise appear, bursts this: Sydney Sweeney discourse! Quick recap: Sweeney, star of White Lotus and the romcom Anyone But You, has appeared in an advert for American Eagle, a slightly creaky US leisurewear brand that like so many mid-range brands from the 90s – Urban Outfitters, Eddie Bauer, even good old Banana Republic – has been suffering from a lack of relevance. The campaign, in which Sweeney lounges in double denim, would seem to be doing what advertising should, which is to get people talking about it, although possibly not in the same sentence as 'eugenics'. It seems like a stretch but the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' – a lame pun on 'genes' suggestive of the possibility that AI is already operating in the advertising space – has been taken up by loud voices on social media as an unsubtle endorsement of 'Nazi' values, in which blond hair, blue eyes and being thin constitute apex hotness. 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour,' intones Sweeney in the ad, leaving off the list resting sulking face, vocal fry and indistinguishability from 90% of other women in Hollywood. All of which probably rules out Paltrow for the follow-up crisis-management video. Let's progress to even shallower water, and words that roll off the tongue like a meditation phrase promising to unlock the meaning of everything: the 'seamless, sculpt face wrap from Skims'. It's an iambic tetrameter and also a new product line from Kim Kardashian, whose amazingly successful shapewear, Skims, advances in a natural progression from body to face sculpting with a new kind of face sling. The sculpt face wrap might look, at a glance, like something you would be given by an A&E doctor after standing too close to the chip pan, but it's actually 'jaw support' that you wear, like a retainer, overnight to hold back the terrible, glacial progression of jowls. According to the company, this item is not merely a piece of stretchy material you might have fashioned yourself out of an old pair of tights, but rather a 'signature sculpting fabric' made of 'collagen yarn', which for £52 a pop and already selling like hotcakes is definitely a real thing that exists. Waking to an experience that used to be integral to British summer but feels increasingly rare: rain on the window and a cold tentacle of air seeping in through the crack. It's a strange relief, and also a teachable moment to my kids enjoying their first summer in this country and who have entirely the wrong idea about the place. It's August tomorrow, and for the past six weeks they haven't bounced once from shorts into sweatpants and jumpers and back again, as the rain boots gather dust and my love of waterproof outwear goes unfulfilled. And while they look out at the rain, grumbling at what it does to the day's plans, I have a first thought out the gate that confirms my final, and total, transformation into my own mother: 'Hmm, good for my plants.' In my house I'm banned from saying 'skibidi', 'gyatt', 'hyperpigmentation' and 'Ohio sigma' – and this week, a new addition has been made to the list. Grandma-like, I've cottoned on to KPop Demon Hunters – a film in which a K-pop group hunts demons disguised as a boyband, which is breaking records on Netflix as the most-streamed original animated film of all time – and am now forbidden by my children from singing Soda Pop, the tween summer anthem from the movie. 'You're my soda pop, my little soda pop/ Cool me down, you're so hot / Pour me up, I won't stop (oh, oh) / You're my soda pop.' Happy summer!
