Can you guess who this ' nepo baby ' is?
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop.
It's Macy Perry, the daughter of famed restaurateur Neil Perry.
Neil took to Instagram this week to wish his daughter a very happy 21st birthday.
He shared a photo of his daughter beaming as she posed amid a tranquil mountain-capped scene.
Wearing a low-cut polka dot dress, Macy looked as though she was about to step onto a runway rather than into a kitchen.
It seems Macy is keen to follow Neil into the world of hospitality – she is currently working as a part-time hostess in Neil's flagship Double Bay restaurant Margaret.
Captioning the image, Neil paid a sweet tribute to his daughter, praising her work ethic and her relationship with partner Jake Lewis.
'I'm so proud of you studying and working so hard @margaretdoublebay always finding time to look after your friends and Jake while juggling a busy schedule,' he gushed.
'You put your heart into everything. We are very blessed to have The Mace in our lives. Love you.'
Macy returned the sentiment with a simple: 'Love you, thank you.'
Neil's post was met with many happy returns from friends and followers.
'So beautiful.. good work daddy,' one offered, echoing the sentiment of many.
Neil shares three daughters – Josephine, 24, with second wife Adele Seagar, as well as Macy, 21, and Indi, 19, with his third wife of 21 years, Samantha.
The sweet post comes after Neil called last drinks at his luxe Double Bay cocktail bar Bobbie's, just under 12 months after opening it.
The stylish basement bar in Sydney's eastern suburbs is tucked beneath his popular Cantonese restaurant Song Bird inside Gaden House.
The team from the swanky jazz bar broke the news of the sudden closure on May 29 - leaving customers devastated.
'Last drinks at Bobbie's. Tonight we raise a glass one final time - to the memories, the music, the cocktails, the team and the incredible guests who made Bobbie's so special,' a Bobbie's spokesperson said on social media.
Neil revealed the decision was made jointly as his business partner shifts focus to his booming business overseas.
'Linden's US-based hospitality group, Dante, is expanding rapidly, with multiple new venues planned across America in the next 18 months,' the top chef said in a statement, according to Hospitality Magazine.
'Our landlords are in discussions with prospective operators interested in taking over the space.'
While the bar's closure sparked speculation about the future of Song Bird upstairs, Neil was quick to quash rumours that his multi-level Cantonese restaurant was also shutting up shop.
'Song Bird is absolutely not closing,' he told Hospitality Magazine, clarifying that recent reports in the Australian Financial Review referred to a strategic review of the restaurant's footprint – not its demise.
Instead, he revealed plans to scale back from four floors to three, with the top level - originally set to house an event space and a la carte dining - now being handed over to become private offices.

Princess Margaret's pal hits out at 'ridiculous' claim she had foetal alcohol syndrome
A former close friend of the late Princess Margaret has spoken out against the bombshell claims that Queen Elizabeth's sister was born with the "invisible disability", allegedly caused by the "heavy drinking" of the Queen Mother A former close friend of Princess Margaret has spoken out against the 'bizarre and ridiculous' claims in a new book that the late royal was born with foetal alcohol syndrome. According to Pulitzer prize winning biographer Meryle Secrest, Queen Elizabeth 's younger sister was born with the 'invisible disability', which the author alleged was caused by the years of 'heavy drinking' by the Queen Mother. The biography, titled Princess Margaret and the Curse: An Inquiry into a Royal Life, speculated that Margaret exhibited classic symptoms of the condition throughout her life, including mood swings, stunted growth, difficulties learning how to write, and painful migraines. Despite the claims, which have never been proven, a former friend of Margaret has spoken out in defence of her late friend, saying not all of Margaret's disadvantages can be attributed to choices made by the Queen Mother when she was pregnant. 'It is truly bizarre to suggest that everything that happened to the Princess can be put down to how much the Queen Mother drank while pregnant. And not just bizarre but ridiculous,' Margaret's friend told the Daily Mail. 'Her life was not one long tragedy: she was an intelligent woman with a wide circle of interests and friends and was a mother and grandmother.' The friend's sentiments were echoed online, as many were similarly outraged by the book's claims. Biographer and journalist Christopher Wilson wrote on X: 'Crazy theory containing not a shred of proof turned into a book,' while a royal fan added: 'Disgraceful. Princess Margaret was beautiful and elegant. Witty, fun and feisty. Her face showed no signs of FASD.' The Telegraph, which has discussed the book's claims, also said: "There is no firm evidence that Margaret suffered from an alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder, and the new biography has been written by comparing Margaret's life, as attested in pre-existing written sources, with those who have suffered from the condition." The book, which is expected to be released in September, cited that the Queen Mother's Scottish family, the aristocratic Bowes-Lyon clan, were 'hard drinkers' with an ability to 'hold their liquor'. The author went on to clarify that when the Queen Mother was pregnant with Margaret in the 1930s, there was no official medical advice for expectant mothers to stop consuming alcohol. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a condition that develops in a foetus when a pregnant woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy, according to the Cleveland Clinic. A syndrome is a group of symptoms that happen together as the result of a particular disease or abnormal condition. When someone has foetal alcohol syndrome, they're at the most severe end of what are known as foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). The condition is life-long and can't be cured. It can be prevented if expectant mothers don't drink any alcohol during pregnancy, as even small amounts can damage the developing foetus. As claims about Margaret's came to light, the National Organisation for FASD issued a statement, saying while they are glad new light has been shone on the disorder: 'We as an organisation do not speculate on who may or may not have FASD," adding: "We are concerned that any reporting about this book must sensitively reflect real lived experience and the latest science."

JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs goes Instagram official with new partner Tilly Lucas-Rodd after being dumped by singer in favour of Chris Hughes
JoJo Siwa 's ex-girlfriend Kath Ebbs has gone Instagram official with her new romance. The 27-year-old is in a relationship with Australian Rules footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd, 29, and shared the first snaps of them together on Instagram on Thursday. It comes just three months after the social media personality was dumped by JoJo who is now in a relationship with her Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes. The photos see the loved-up pair posing in a photobooth as they shared a romantic kiss and beamed at each other. Alongside the post, Kath wrote: 'The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!' Tilly is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. They are the first AFLW player to undergo top surgery and documented the procedure in an Instagram clip. Tilly plays for the Hawthorn Football Club in Melbourne and previously played for the Carlton Football Club. Kath first debuted the new romance when she posted two sentimental TikToks on July 18, with a sarcastic caption aimed at Dance Moms star JoJo. 'Hope this one doesn't cheat on me,' Kath wrote, alongside a video of the Hawthorn player, calling the sports star their new 'crush'. 'Nature is healing,' the Sydney-based content creator captioned a second video of them lip syncing to the song DAISIES from Justin Bieber 's new album SWAG. The video was filmed on the front porch of Tilley's Melbourne home, with Kath writing: 'Didn't know all I needed was this album and an all-consuming crush'. 'Who's this new crush huh? Lemme have a word with them,' Tilley flirtatiously commented. 'Posting said crush because what the hell are they going to do about it?' Kath wrote over the second video of Tilley dancing around the living room. Taking to TikTok , Kath shared the happy news in two sentimental TikToks, with a sarcastic caption aimed at Dance Moms star JoJo Fans were quick to offer their well wishes and congratulations to Kath, who just three months ago found themselves flying from London to Sydney solo and single after the Celebrity Big Brother UK finale. 'You definitely won that break-up,' one wrote. 'Go Kath! 12/10 upgrade,' added a second, with a third chiming in: 'WAG era activated.' Lesbian singer Peach PRC also offered her congratulations, writing: 'YAAAYYY'. JoJo, 21, dumped Kath, 27, just hours after leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house in April, after setting tongues wagging about her close on-screen bond with her now-boyfriend Chris Hughes. During her time on CBB, JoJo formed a tactile 'friendship' with the Love Island star, 32, with the pair's flirty behaviour raising eyebrows - given her relationship with Kath at the time. After leaving the house, JoJo immediately broke up with Kath at the CBB wrap party. In a whirlwind press tour, the Dance Moms star went on to insist Chris was not to blame for her split with Kath, and that their relationship was strictly platonic. The pair are now a high-profile couple. 'I'd love to marry her. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I run through scenarios of our wedding day,' Chris recently told The Sun. The news of Kath's new relationship comes hot on the heels of an awkward encounter with Sydney paparazzi Jayden Seyfarth at the airport on Thursday. Seyfarth approached Kath in public and peppered the Aussie influencer with rapid-fire questions about JoJo. 'When's the last time you spoke to JoJo?' Seyfarth asked. 'Do you still listen to her music or skip it when it comes on?' 'That's funny,' Kath replied. 'Are you still single at the moment or have you found a new lover?' he tried again. 'Wouldn't you like to know,' Kath said. Appearing increasingly uncomfortable, Kath repeated the word 'no' and the phrase 'no comment' several times, while trying to move away from the paparazzo. He pressed on with a final question: 'Do you think it was a blessing in disguise JoJo going into the Big Brother house, or do you wish she never went on?' 'No comment,' Kath repeated while trying to put on a pair of headphones as they moved away.

Iconic TV star who featured on Australian Story and Penn and Teller dies just days after birthday
Australian stage magician and entertainment trailblazer Arthur Coghlan died earlier this month aged 93, just days after celebrating his birthday. Coghlan brought a touch of magic, mystery and showbiz glamour to the Gold Coast for more than half a century. His career as a professional 'escapologist' spanned decades and he leaves an incredible mark on the world of entertainment with his daring escape acts and innovative stage shows. The internationally acclaimed magician became a household name thanks to his spectacular escape acts, including a legendary stunt where he freed himself from shackles on a roller coaster track just moments before the train sped past. Affectionately known as 'Australia's Houdini', Coghlan was also the founding force behind the Magic Mountain theme park at Nobby Beach, which became one of the Gold Coast's most treasured tourist attractions until it closed in 1987. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Throughout his career, Coghlan mesmerised audiences worldwide, including a memorable appearance on The Don Lane Show in 1979. On the Channel Nine program, Coghlan was locked inside a 44-gallon drum, sealed in a box, and suspended by a crane - all live on television - and viewers across Australia saw him escape unharmed. The segment drew the show's highest ratings of the year and earned him a rare encore invitation the following week. He featured on many other TV shows across his career, in which he showcased his incredible tricks, including Australian Story and Penn and Teller: Fool Us. The former mechanic turned magician performed more than 6,000 live shows at the hilltop amusement park Magic Mountain alongside his daughter Helen, drawing crowds from around the world. Born into the world of magic almost by chance, Coghlan's journey began when he assisted in creating an illusion show while working as a mechanic. Determined to honour a promise after the show's owner passed away, Coghlan embarked on a career that would see him go on to become one of Australia's most respected entertainers. He was profiled on the ABC series Australian Story in 2022, which featured an interview with legendary American magician Penn Jillette, who said Coghlan's magic skills were second-to-none. His career as a professional 'escapologist' spanned decades and he leaves an incredible mark on the world of entertainment with his daring escape acts and innovative stage shows 'Arthur has been bamboozling audiences, performing incredible escapes and making the impossible possible for years,' Jillette said. 'He and his daughter are two of the finest minds in magic!' Heartbroken fans took to social media to pay tribute to Coghlan. 'Thoroughly enjoyed his shows. Gold Coast Legend,' one person wrote. 'He was a great man. Condolences to the family,' a second added. Coghlan was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 2021 for his service to the performing arts, magic and escapology. He is survived by his beloved wife Valma, their children Lynette, Jeffrey and Helen, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
