Check out the viral pics the stars DID NOT want you to see - and wish could be erased from the Internet forever
One of the downsides to living in the spotlight as a celebrity is that your every move can be seen 24 hours a day. However, even moments of downtime were still fair play for photographers and fans to capture and share with the world - even when the stars were not looking their best. That's been the case for a plethora of famous faces, including Ben Affleck and Beyonce, who risked being turned into a meme for a seemingly innocent move - but who else had been affected and wished for the evidence to be eternally scrubbed? SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO KIM KARDASHIAN Kim Kardashian was mortified after what she viewed as 'unflattering' photos of her butt emerged in 2017. A sunshine break on the Mexican coast turned into a holiday from hell for the star when she expressed her shock over the images. The pic showed her in black thong bikini bottoms and a tie-front vest. The mom-of-four was less than impressed with the subsequent images and reacted to the shot on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kim said: 'Oh my god! I don't get it. I literally don't look like this. I need to untag myself in everything. I'm literally going to go inside and just start untagging.' ARIANA GRANDE She's been accused of appropriating black culture with her music and image in the past, and Ariana Grande inadvertently sparked another debate in 2021 when she shared a series of promo pics on social media. The controversy being that she was said to have been 'Asian fishing' - a term used to describe someone of non-Asian descent who attempted to adopt an Asian aesthetic. The star's otherwise innocent photos gained attention for all the wrong reasons when fans noted her unusually straight brows, thin-winged eyeliner, no-eyelid make-up, and notably lighter shade of foundation. Even the demure pose she adopted for the shoot came under fire, Ariana was criticized on social media for 'promoting stereotypes' and 'fetishizing' Asian culture. Subsequently, the images were swiftly removed from her Instagram account - but the Internet never forgets. BEN AFFLECK Seen as a reluctant celebrity, images of Ben Affleck's been turned into a meme more times than he would probably care to remember. It's been years since he was forced to respond to his viral notoriety following a grim-faced appearance at the 2023 Grammy Awards with then-wife Jennifer Lopez. However, that wasn't the actor's first time his image had gone viral. In 2016, cameras caught Ben looking rather dejected as he paused for a smoke break on a day out in LA with his daughter Violet. He stopped and stood with one hand in his jeans pocket with his eyes closed in weary contemplation, as he made the most of his time alone. Unfortunately for him, the image - notoriously dubbed 'sad Ben Affleck' - went viral and was used worldwide. KHLOE KARDASHIAN We've all had them, the occasional bad hair day, but not many of us have had pics of such unexpected moments splashed all over the Internet. Khloe Kardashian's one of the unfortunate few who had such an unflattering photo in 2011 on a shopping trip in Dallas when blustery weather worked against her as she made her way back to her car - to the benefit of trailing photographers. KHLOE KARDASHIAN (AGAIN) In 2021, a leaked photo of Khloe began circulating online. Highly unflattering, the unfiltered and unretouched image showed her minus make-up as she modelled in leopard-print swimwear. That might seem innocent, but it later transpired that Khloe and her media-savvy family were desperate to wipe all traces of it - and with good reason. The candid photo - shared without her consent - was damning evidence as to the extent she carefully manipulated her photos before releasing them on social media. The distraught star addressed the drama on Instagram days later, and shared live videos of herself to prove that her body was not regularly 'Photoshopped'. Her subsequent statement spoke about the pressure of being in the spotlight and her body being 'micro-analyzed' as a public figure. She also revealed that being compared to her siblings Kim and Kourtney in addition to 'constant ridicule and judgement' had been 'too much to bear'. JENNIFER ANISTON In a world increasingly opposed to lighting up, it's no surprise that Jennifer Aniston chose to keep her off-screen smoking status a closely guarded secret. However, in 2022, the actress - known for her wholesome, health-conscious public image - was filmed by her former husband Justin Theroux as he lit her cigarette. Not a huge issue, you'd think, but Aniston had claimed to have given up the habit following a previous confession about her being a 'chain-smoker' who could easily get through a pack a day during the early years of her career. Fans took the admission literally, and many believed she had stopped with the cigarettes in 2007 - three years after she'd filmed her final Friends scenes. Unfortunately for her, the damning 'smoking gun' video proved otherwise, and it was swiftly deleted from Justin's Instagram page - but it's still to be found elsewhere. BEYONCE Performing at Super Bowl in 2013, Beyonce sang and danced to thousands of gathered spectators and millions of TV viewers around the world during her halftime show at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. But she was less than impressed with some of the photos that emerged following her energetic performance at the 83,000 capacity venue. In fact, she was forced to confront online outlet Buzzfeed for its publishing of pics with the star in full flow with matted hair, strained sinews, and a sweaty complexion. Beyonce's dismay led to her publicist emailing the site directly with a request for the offending snaps to be taken down - which Buzzfeed refused. The site reacted to the demand with a follow-up article called The Unflattering Photos Beyonce's Publicist Doesn't Want You To See. LANA DEL REY Lana Del Rey would be forgiven for regretting her decision to pose beside a barbed-wire fence right outside Cook County Department of Corrections in 2022. The singer was pictured with her arm around her musician ex Jack Donoghue with the Chicago penitentiary looming behind them. Rumored to have been romantically linked to Jack of the band Salem, Lana seemed to confirm their romance when the image emerged on his Instagram platform, where it was shared alongside the caption: 'Family visit.' Jack previously sparked controversy by sharing a photo of himself licking his pet dog's tongue, and he was also seen in a pic that appeared to capture him during a passionate kiss with a male cousin. Lana wised up and married swamp tour guide Jeremy Dufrene in September 2024.

Logies 2025: Home and Away's Lynne McGranger wins gold as Fisk dominates Australia's TV awards
The Home and Away actor Lynne McGranger has won the Gold Logie award for most popular personality on Australian television as she ends her record 32-year run playing the much-loved matriarch Irene Roberts. McGranger is the longest-serving female actor in any Australian drama, having played Irene for nearly 33 years. She announced her departure in February and her final episode will air mid-August. 'I am thrilled and honoured. This is going to be pride of place next to my 1974 Wagga Wagga drama festival best actress,' she said on Sunday night, to laughter. She thanked Home and Away's writers and crew, saying: 'Yeah, it is a soap. But it gives Australian actors and crew so much work. And we are so proud of it. Thirty-eight years the bloody thing has been going for, it just won't die.' The 72-year-old paid tribute to her almost all-female competition – Muster Dogs host Lisa Millar, A Current Affair's Ally Langdon, The Voice host Sonia Kruger, I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! host Julia Morris and MasterChef Australia judge Poh Ling Yeow and Lego Masters host Hamish Blake – as 'beautiful, fierce women of all ages. And I am the oldest!' As the only male nominee, two-time winner Blake had actively campaigned against himself this year, joking to the media: 'It would not be a great look if I won, so figure out your favourite lady, and get right behind her.' McGranger also won best lead actress in a drama for her performance in Home and Away, seeing off competition from Apple Cider Vinegar actor Kaitlyn Dever and Territory star Anna Torv. The ABC comedy Fisk was the big winner on Sunday, taking home best scripted comedy, best lead actress in a comedy for Kitty Flanagan for the second year in a row, best lead actor in a comedy for Aaron Chen, best supporting actress for Julia Zemiro and best supporting actor for Glenn Butcher. Flanagan thanked both ABC and Netflix 'for the viewing bump' and said she was particularly pleased that families watched Fisk, a comedy set in a suburban law firm. 'It makes me so happy to know we accidentally made a family show,' she said. 'We didn't mean to … the fact they appreciate a middle-aged lady in a baggy suit who mumbles, I have hope for the future.' The ABC had a strong night overall, with detective show Return to Paradise winning best drama, Australian Story winning best current affairs, Muster Dogs: Collies & Kelpies winning best structured reality program, Four Corners' Betrayal of Trust winning best news coverage or public affairs report, and Bluey winning the children's program category for a record fourth time. Guy Montgomery, the host of Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee on ABC, also won the Graham Kennedy award for most popular new talent. The New Zealander gave a bullish speech, telling Australia: 'Suck it, we have one up on your country this time!' The actor and comedian Magda Szubanski was inducted into the Logie Hall of Fame months after she revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer, with the likes of film-maker George Miller, Kath and Kim's Gina Riley, Richard E Grant and the politician Penny Wong all paying tribute. The US comedy actor Melissa McCarthy called her 'one of the funniest humans, one of the smartest humans'. Szubanski was unable to attend the ceremony, but gave an emotional pre-taped speech. 'Let's just get this out of the way – I am not being awarded this honour because I have got the cancer. I am getting this because of 40 years of hard work – lobbying, bribing, threatening, whatever it took,' she joked. 'Finally it has all paid off.' Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email She thanked the public for their messages of support. 'The love and support I have felt, like a tsunami, from the Australian public has been overwhelming and I have to tell you, it really helps … when I go online and I look at those messages, every time my heart lifts and I feel that much stronger to deal with the cancer.' Streaming platforms dominated the best drama nominees, but failed to win on the night. Netflix won just one award: best miniseries for Apple Cider Vinegar, its drama about the Australian fraudster Belle Gibson. Though Apple Cider Vinegar and Netflix's Territory dominated the drama categories, neither won. Instead, Fisk won the supporting categories, McGranger won best lead actress, and Sam Neill won best lead actor for his role in season two of The Twelve. The former tennis player turned commentator Jelena Dokic gave an emotional speech while accepting the Logie for her documentary Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story, about surviving the physical and mental abuse dealt by her father, who was also once her coach. 'To every kid and person out there, I will say, to every single girl and woman out there, never allow anyone to take your worth or happiness or smile away. Believe in your goals and dreams,' she said. The Logies have historically been an unusual awards event, with a mix of popularly voted awards – which celebrities have always actively campaigned to win – and peer-voted awards. The system has been overhauled so that the 'best' categories – formerly called 'most outstanding' – are determined by a combined score, 50% of which is peer assessment and audience data supplied by the broadcasters and 50% of which is by popular vote. The Gold Logie, the Bert Newton award for most popular presenter, the Graham Kennedy award for most popular new talent and the new Ray Martin award for most popular news or public affairs reporter, remain determined entirely by popular vote. Gold Logie for most popular personality: Lynne McGranger, Home and Away, Seven Network Bert Newton award for most popular presenter: Todd Woodbridge, Nine Network Graham Kennedy award for most popular new talent: Guy Montgomery, ABC Ray Martin award for most popular news or public affairs presenter: Ally Langdon, A Current Affair, Nine Network Best lead actor in a drama: Sam Neill, The Twelve, Binge/Foxtel Best lead actress in a drama: Lynne McGranger, Home and Away, Seven Network Best lead actor in a comedy: Aaron Chen, Fisk, ABC Best lead actress in a comedy: Kitty Flanagan, Fisk, ABC Best supporting actor: Glenn Butcher, Fisk, ABC Best supporting actress: Julia Zemiro, Fisk, ABC Best drama program: Return to Paradise, ABC Best miniseries or telemovie: Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Best entertainment program: The Voice, Seven Network Best scripted comedy program: Fisk, ABC Best current affairs program: Australian Story, ABC Best comedy entertainment program: Have You Been Paying Attention?, Network 10 Best competition reality program: Lego Masters Australia, Nine Network Best structured reality program: Muster Dogs: Collies & Kelpies, ABC Best lifestyle program: Travel Guides, Nine Network Best news coverage or public affairs report: Betrayal of Trust, Four Corners, ABC Best factual or documentary program: Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story, Nine Network Best sports coverage: The Olympic Games Paris 2024, Nine Network Best children's program: Bluey, ABC

Struggling single mum surviving on just £125 a MONTH fights tears at £250-a-night hotel on Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday
A STRUGGLING single mother who lives on just £125 a month after bills are paid, found herself fighting back tears on tonight's episode of Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday. Kelly, a cash-strapped mum-of-one and her bestie Lewie, took part in the Channel 5 experiment and found themselves in Northern Italy, with go-getting grandmas Jackie and Martine, both former pro dancers. 7 7 7 7 While 29-year-old happy-go-lucky Lewie lives at home with his mum and dad, works shifts for a budget airline and also flips burgers at his dad's truck-stop cafe, his best pal Kelly, 34, is employed by a transport company. Opening up about her hardships as a single mother to an eight-year-old, Kelly, who is from Portsmouth, explained: 'I work as hard as I can. 'Sometimes I'll even work a night shift, just because the night shifts are a bit more money.' But despite putting in the graft, every month after bills and food, Kelly is left with just £125 - so it's no surprise that luxury all-inclusive holidays are out of the question. The brunette confirmed: 'There's so much you want to buy but you can't, so I don't spend on things that aren't necessarily needed.' Kelly and Lewie, who met through friends 11 years ago and have been inseparable ever since, typically go for cheap-as-chips holidays to caravan sites. And to keep costs down, it's self-catering or budget fast food. The mother explained: 'We love Benidorm, or we'll do a nice little caravan break. 'We don't go out to eat that much, if we do we get a sharing platter and it works out cheaper.' But in tonight's episode, the pair were whisked off to live the high life at a majestic castle with Jackie and Martine, both of whom have travelled to the world's most exclusive destinations. I'm a mum-of-5 on £1.5K Universal Credit per month - people think I'm popping kids out to get 'lots of money' but I still have to use food banks - its embarrassing 'We're taking part in this to see how the other half live,' Kelly shared. Unlike Kelly and Lewie, not only are Jackie and Martine used to splashing the cash on fancy food and high adrenaline activities, but Jackie once spent a night in a £12,000-a-night hotel in Sweden. Once they arrived at the Veneto region of Northern Italy, the four best pals stayed in a former castle, the grand Hotel CastelBrando - a lavish hotel fit for a king, nestled in the Prosecco hills. The money you spend on certain things here is a three/four day holiday for us Kelly And it didn't take long before it all appeared very overwhelming for Kelly, as moments after entertaining the £250 a night suite, she admitted: 'It's just something else…quite emotional, there might be some tears shed.' Clearly blown away by the jaw-dropping room, she gasped: 'I don't think I have any words.' Moments later, Martine observed: 'I could see a bit of a tear in Kelly's eye, it's overwhelming for her to see such splender.' 7 7 7 And it wasn't just a posh hotel Kelly and Lewie were treated to - on the once-in-a-lifetime trip they also got a tour of Venice, with a £250 gondola ride and time at the spa, to which Kelly said: 'It's a lot different to arcades.' The shock continued for bargain hunters Kelly and Lewie, who were gobsmacked by the 'disgusting' prices, with £13.80 soft drinks and £430 glasses of Dom Perignon. Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day. To this, Kelly claimed: 'The money you spend on certain things here is a three/four day holiday for us.' After dining at a £70-per-head restaurant, Kelly and Lewie were told that their holiday had a total cost of £8,118. To this, the single mother said: 'I'll be honest, it's not what I would expect for the money that's been spent.' I work as hard as I can. Sometimes I'll even work a night shift, just because the night shifts are a bit more money Kelly Whilst Lewie chimed in: 'That's five months worth of wages for me for this summer. An obscene amount for a holiday. 'Astonishing. We would rather stick to our budget holidays. Luxury isn't for me.' Despite her shock at the cost, Kelly beamed: 'It turned out to be an amazing week with beautiful places, beautiful people, friends who are friends for life now. 'That just shows you don't need to have money to have fun.'
