Lindsay Lohan's wildly expensive look as she arrives in Australia for Freakier Friday premiere
It's Sydney turn to get caught up in the hysteria of the Freaky Friday revival. Continuing the global press tour for the 2003 film's much-awaited sequel, Freakier Friday, Lindsay Lohan arrived at Sydney Airport ahead of Tuesday night's Australian premiere at Event Cinemas in Bondi Junction – and she was decked in top-to-toe designer gear. The Hollywood star was spotted touching down on Monday night with her entourage, including her husband, financier Bader Shammas, and their two-year-old son Luai. Lohan, 39, appeared in good spirits, smiling as she made her way through the terminal while wearing a Miu Miu denim jacket over her Miu Miu dress, believed to retail for $3,350 and $2,280, respectively. She topped it off with not one but two designer bags: one Miu Miu purse worth an estimated $3,540 and a Hermès Birkin Bag, which costs at least $20,000. Not even the gloomy weather could dampen Lohan's mood as airport staff tried to shield her from the rain with umbrellas as she exited the terminal in her Miu Miu flats, said to cost $1,570. Lohan's co-star in the original film and now the reboot, Jamie Lee Curtis, was also spotted arriving in Sydney earlier on Monday. The beloved star, 66, walked through the terminal while wearing a black face mask, but her designer bag and signature poise was a dead giveaway of her Hollywood status. The sequel comes 22 years after the original film, in which single mother Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lohan) constantly bickered until a fortune cookie mishap caused them to switch lives and see things from the other's perspective. Fans lapped up the film, which earned Disney a cool $US160.8 million worldwide, quintupling its $US30 million budget. And over the years viewers have been asking for more. Curtis recently revealed why there was such a long wait between films in a recent interview with BBC program The One Show, revealing an Aussie link to the sequel. 'The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, [but] people would ask me about the movie over and over again,' she shared. 'And finally someone in Australia said, 'Well, she is' and I was like, 'What do you mean?' because I know her as this young girl, so I don't know how old she is.' 'Someone told me [Lindsay's age] and I was, like, 'Oh! Well, maybe we can make the movie. Let's go!'' In the new film, Anna now has a daughter and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they all try to wrap their heads around merging the two families, lightening strikes twice and they soon find themselves in a four-way switch.

Abbey Holmes responds to return to work criticism
A popular sports presenter has hit back at online trolls who criticised her for returning to work less than two months after welcoming her son into the world. Abbey Holmes, who works as a sports commentator for Channel 7, welcomed her son Braxton John Brooksby, on June 6 with husband Keegan Brooksby. Holmes, who didn't realise she was pregnant for the entire first trimester, had a relatively textbook pregnancy. She revealed she laboured all day before doctors deemed a Caesarian was needed to proceed due to the fact Braxton's head was 'far too large'. The 34-year-old then announced she would be back to commentate in Round 20 of the AFL for the clash between Essendon and Western Bulldogs on July 25. But, the announcement caused divide, with some calling it 'far too soon' for the new mum to be returning to work. Now, Holmes has hit back at the people who criticised her for returning to her role for just two days a week — despite the fact there is no 'one size fits all' guideline for new mums. She said if her baby boy hadn't been doing well, she would never have made the decision to return. 'I think that if he didn't take a bottle or was really unsettled and only slept on me, or whatever it might have been, then I certainly would have been hamstrung and certainly not come back seven weeks after having him,' she told 7News. Holmes added that for her, she genuinely loved what she did and it didn't feel like work. 'There's certainly a small minority of people out there that feel that they have the right to tell you what you should be doing and how things are to be done, which is never the case,' the new mother said. She said one of the things that annoyed her the most was the commentary around her husband, a former Hawthorn and Gold Coast player. '(Someone said) 'oh Dad's on babysitting duty'. I'm sorry, but dads don't babysit their own children, they're 50 per cent of the parenting duo,' she responded. Upon taking to the microphone on July 25 she shared a video with fellow commentators Dale Thomas and Matthew Richardson. 'OK guys, we're baaaaack,' she captioned the clip. Fans were mostly stoked to see her return, calling Holmes the 'best part' of Friday night footy. 'You are incredible! Welcome back,' one social media user said. Another added: 'Get it girl.' 'So good to see your smiley face back,' another user commented. Another said: 'HOORAY. Welcome back, your bubba is in good hands and you are doing a great job of firstly being a mumma/wife and now doing your love of being you.' Some did question the decision, asking if she was 'sure she was ready' to return to work. When Holmes initially announced she was returning to work two days a week, she said she was grateful for the support from both her family and her workplace. 'Coming back to work fills me with so much excitement,' she said. 'I've missed the team, the buzz, and being part of the action. I'm ready to hit the ground running next Friday night at Marvel Stadium and can't wait for little Brax to see his mumma in action. 'It's been such a special time at home with Braxton and Keegan and I feel so lucky to be able to go back to a job that I love and come home to our family.' Holmes said she was incredibly grateful to know that she could have both a career that she loved as well as time with her family.

Sad announcement leaves The Block contestants sobbing
The contestants on The Block were reduced to tears during Monday's episode, as foreman Dan opened up about the tragic recent loss of his newborn daughter. Dan and his wife Dani Reilly, both former Block contestants, welcomed a baby girl named Billie into the world on December 8 last year. Tragically, she died just 10 days later after complications during birth. The couple announced the tragic news at the time – and just a couple of months later, Dan was back at work filming this season of The Block. He and Dani addressed the contestants and those on site to open up about their loss at the start of Monday's episode. He said they felt 'grateful' for their 10 days with Billie, time spent in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. 'Premmie [premature] babies spend time in NICU, to give them the care they need and the best start in life,' he explained. 'It didn't end as it should have for us,' said Dani, 'but our time there was really special with Billie. The doctors at the NICU, we'll remember forever.' Dan explained that the couple wanted to use their personal tragedy, and the legacy of Billie's short time on earth, to raise awareness and funds for the organisations that had helped them in their time of need. 'We wish we didn't need them, but we did, and they saved us at that time,' said Dani. 'Billie's legacy, now our mission, is to raise awareness and funds for The Women's NICU, Red Nose Australia, and Heartfelt, ensuring other families receive the care, support, and memories that meant and continue to mean so much to us,' said Dan. From contestants to tradies to host Scott Cam, all on site appeared visibly moved by the couple's bravery in speaking about their loss so publicly. 'We don't understand what that would be like,' said Gold Coast contestant Sonny, fighting back tears. 'But we also had one of my best mates go through the same thing.' 'They're such beautiful people,' said WA contestant Taz. 'It's such a terrible thing to have happened to them.' Dan and Dani's Billie's Besties campaign, launched after their daughter's passing to support the Women's Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), has so far raised almost $100,000.
