Carrie Bickmore's shock Logies afterparty admission as she flaunts her cleavage on the red carpet
Carrie Bickmore has made a shock admission about the afterparty for the 2025 Logie Awards. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, the popular broadcaster, 44, shared two photos that showed her posing on the red carpet in her would-be afterparty attire. Carrie put on quite the busty display in the photos, stepping out in a figure-hugging mini-dress from Australian designer Rebecca Vallance. The low-cut dress, which featured eye-catching floral diamante appliqués, flaunted Carrie's ample cleavage. Carrie's party dress finished at her thigh, showing off her trim and toned pins. Carrie appeared ready for a big night post-Logies, happily hamming up for the camera on the red carpet. However, the dress was not given its moment in the spotlight, with Carrie admitting she skipped the afterparty antics in favour of a good night's sleep. Carrie did reveal that she attempted to put in an appearance, but her hotel pillow was more inviting than hitting the dance floor with fellow celebs. 'When you get changed to go to the after party... walk down to the party then walk back up to bed because suddenly a full night's sleep in a hotel bed sounds more appealing than a dance floor,' Carrie wrote, augmenting the sentiment with a laughing face emoji. Carrie had earlier turned more than a few heads when she arrived at Australian television's night of nights on Sunday. Known for flaunting her innate sense of style on the Logies red carpet, Carrie certainly didn't disappoint this year. She looked radiant in her one-shoulder design – the subtle shimmer highlighting her spectacular figure as she sashayed down the carpet. Her hair was immaculate and while the heavy eye makeup was a bold move, it worked beautifully with her minimalist accessories and ultra-natural look. Carrie's post-Logies admission comes as rumours continue to swirl about a potential romance with Lee Elliott. Carrie posted a series of photos to Instagram on Sunday, showing off her stunning Logies red carpet look. 'Dress of dreams... Thank you to the amazing team who pulled this look together,' Carrie wrote, before tagging the designer and make-up artist. Lee, 43, showed his support by liking Carrie's social media post. According to Woman's Day, Carrie and Lee have been spending a lot of time together at Carrie's home. The publication claimed the pair were introduced by mutual friends and the relationship is 'heating up quickly'. 'They've been trying hard to keep things under wraps. But there's definitely something romantic going on. They're a beautiful couple!' a source allegedly told the magazine. Lee is newly single after splitting from his wife, Georgia, earlier this year. He and Georgia, who first met on the 2016 season of The Bachelorette, announced their separation with identical posts to Instagram in May.

Conspiracy theory emerges over why the same Aussie celebrities such as Sonia Kruger and Julia Morris are nominated for a Logie every year
A media commentator has come up with a theory as to why the same Aussie celebrities are nominated at the Logies year after year. Taking to TikTok, Josh Fox pointed out that veteran TV hosts Julia Morris, Sonia Kruger and Hamish Blake seem to be the only real 'talent' in Australia. 'Am I missing something or do you all actually love the Logies because I am baffled every year by how media froth over it,' he said after Sunday's telecast. 'The media pretend it's like the Oscars, but I don't know anyone who cares?' Fox scrutinised a list of the Gold Logie nominees, and pointed out that Kruger, 59, who won the top gong in 2022, has been up for the prize every year since. He also shared that I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! host Julia Morris, 57, has been nominated for the coveted Gold Logie 'four times in four years'. I'm a Me Out of Here! host Julia Morris, 57, has been nominated for the Gold Logie 'four times in four years' 'Hamish Blake has had three Gold Logie nominations in the last four years,' he continued. 'It's like Australia has no new talent.' 'Who will be nominated when all these old television people die?' one fan replied in the comments. 'A lot of people care [about the Logies] and you won't find them here as they are all over the age of 50,' another added. 'They're nominated every year because we don't have new celebs. Anyone trying to make it leaves Australia,' one argued. 'I don't care for it, I didn't know most of the shows nominated.' Meanwhile, a similar conspiracy theory also surfaced on The Beetoota Advocate. Titled 'Woman Who Hasn't Watched Free To Air TV Since 2008 Still Able To Recognise Every Person At The Logies', the satire story was shared on Monday and has attracted a whopping 12,360 likes since. 'TIME WARP: A woman who hasn't watched free to air television since 2008 was surprised to discover that she could still recognise 90% of the celebrities at this year's Logie Awards, which has led her to believe that the Australia media industry might be stuck in a bit of a time warp,' the story read. The satire yarn claimed that the '35-year-old woman called Anita Shafe' did not know 'most international celebrities', but this did not pose an issue. '[Because] with the Australian media landscape as it is, it rarely gives any airtime to any talent born after 1985,' the mocking story added. 'It's genuinely pathetic how accurate this is,' one person commented. 'All we have to show for "successful" entertainers are washed up and still doing the same s*** they were doing 20 years ago.' 'Nobody born after 1998 is allowed on TV,' another viewer commented. It comes after viewers slammed the telecast, with many viewers lashing out at the 'boring' awards show. Several people took to X to mock the annual ceremony and claim the Logies simply aren't relevant anymore. 'No better confirmation that free-to-air TV is dying than the #Logies - a mixture of yesterday's celebrities and nobodies talking about themselves,' one person wrote. 'It's quaint how they still have the Logies - a dying medium celebrating mediocrity #Logies,' another said. Still, despite drubbing the ceremony received online the 2025 Logies proved to be a ratings success. It was the biggest show during Sunday's prime time, scoring an impressive national average of 1,425,000 viewers.

Abbie Chatfield FINALLY admits to tipping off the paparazzi for cash - and setting up cringe pics of her packing on the PDA with a reality star in Noosa
Abbie Chatfield has finally confirmed a long-standing rumour, admitting she once accepted money in exchange for tipping off the paparazzi about her whereabouts. The 30-year-old made the bombshell confession on the latest episode of her It's A Lot podcast, revealing she pocketed $1,000 for setting up a staged photo opportunity shortly after appearing on The Bachelor in 2019. 'When I was fresh out of The Bachelor I was dating The Bachelorette's Todd [King] , and we set up with some paparazzi to take photos of us at the beach,' Abbie began. 'We were going anyway, and it was $1,000! We thought, "Yeah, that will pay for flights from Perth".' Abbie explained the photoshoot was coordinated through a journalist, who acted as a go-between and passed on the location details to a photographer in Queensland. 'It was done through a journalist, who told the paparazzi where we were going to be. I have done it once for money, because I still had a nine-to-five and $1,000 is a lot of money,' she added. 'We were going to go to the beach anyway, so if you are doing it for money, then go off, queen!' she continued. The staged photos were taken at Noosa Beach in October 2019 and captured Abbie in a skimpy two-piece, passionately kissing her then-rumoured love interest Todd King. The media personality has long faced speculation about tipping off paparazzi. Last year, Abbie rubbished suggestions she frequently 'tips off' the paparazzi about her whereabouts to ensure good photos. The influencer shared a blistering video to TikTok in which she admitted she had alerted the paparazzi to her whereabouts before - but clarified it was not a regular occurrence. 'I think it is funny that people are so angry about people who call the paps on themselves,' Abbie began. 'It's f**king weird to do it when you are going on a walk, like who gives a f**k? I would never call the paps for photos of me walking the dog!' However, she added that she believed it was okay for celebrities to alert press photographers about their whereabouts if the money from the snaps was split between them. 'I don't think it is an evil thing to do because people can have autonomy over the photos taken of them. The reason why paps are creepy is because it isn't consensual,' she said. 'If you can get paid for it, why not? The reason why I did it with my boyfriend at the time is the money. I wouldn't do it again unless it was for a lot of money.' Meanwhile, Ben McDonald, CEO of Matrix Media Group, told Daily Mail in 2024 that many celebrities had a working relationship with the paparazzi as a means of controlling their image. He said that throughout his career he had developed working relationships with all kinds of celebrities, including Hollywood A-Listers and reality stars.
