Bed Judd ‘nearly died' after parachute failed to open
Bec Judd has revealed the scary moment her parachute failed to open while skydiving with her husband Chris Judd in Perth. The model on Friday told SAFM Breakfast with Bernie and Emma G that the terrifying incident happened while she was on a date with the former AFL star. She said she free-fell 'almost all the way to the ground' before an emergency parachute could be activated. At the time, Judd wasn't even allowed to go skydiving, given his contract with the West Coast Eagles at the time. 'We secretly went and did a skydive together in Perth when he was playing for West Coast and my parachute didn't open,' she revealed during the radio show's unbelievably true stories segment. 'Juddy jumped out, felt the parachute, and he's all good. 'So we're strapped to someone, I jump out, we're falling through the sky. [my tandem guy] pulled the parachute, and the parachute opened and tore off. It ripped off and went flying through the sky, and we started falling to the ground again. 'Chris is watching, and we'd only been dating for a couple of months, and his tandem guy, who he was strapped to, went, 'oh there goes your friend', and we started dropping to the ground, and he went, this is where it ends. 'And then, luckily, just before we got to the ground, he [tandem guy] found the little emergency parachute. Little thing, a dinky little kind of BS emergency parachute opened and saved us, and we landed pretty quickly after that. 'So my free fall, you know, that's all you get, 60 seconds of free fall, whatever, I pretty much free fell almost all the way to the ground…and Chris just said he just saw us just go boom, all the way down landing. I jumped after him, but I think I ended up landing about five minutes before him. Thank God the emergency parachute worked.' 'Thank God the emergency parachute worked.' Credit: Supplied. Bec's Vain-ish podcast co-host Jessie Roberts also shared her unbelievably true story, when her child was almost abducted from a car in Naples a decade ago. 'My daughter got kidnapped out of the taxi while we were parked going into the train station, getting our stuff out of the boot,' she said. 'I was actually in the car with my daughter. She was in the seat belt, and a guy reached in and pulled her from her seat belt and started running…she was nearly five, and I was screaming, I was trapped in the car, so I was screaming, but luckily, the bus driver behind us saw it all unfold, and he was on the horn to kind of warn us that this guy was kind of coming towards the car. 'Next minute, there were people jumping off the bus. There was my husband, me with a baby strapped to me, racing after this guy. We jumped on top of him, tackled him.'

Erin Molan Stellar magazine cover sparks furious backlash over her views about Israel's war in Gaza: 'Never reading this publication again'
A magazine cover featuring Erin Molan has sparked a ferocious backlash over the TV presenter's strong stance supporting Israel in its conflict with Gaza. This weekend's edition of Stellar, which is published in News Corp's Sunday newspapers, is being promoted on Instagram and some readers are furious that Molan appears on the front. The former Sky News Australia host has publicly condemned Hamas since its raids on the Jewish state on October 7, 2023, and in recent months has been reporting from Israel on the Middle East war. While some fans - including model and influencer Bec Judd - were quick to congratulate Molan on taking out the cover position, others could not see past her pro-Israel views. 'No thanks Stella... No one I would support,' wrote one. 'So tone deaf,' said another. A third posted: 'Free Palestine ps never reading this publication again.' Several other users threatened to boycott Stellar. Some of the comments are too inflammatory to publish. The Times of Israel ran a profile piece on Molan in May under the headline 'Erin Molan vs. the world: From Australian news anchor to pro-Israel firebrand.' 'Molan has found herself increasingly recognized in Israel, where people on the street often flock to her, eager to thank her for her support,' it reported. The story quoted Molan, who is Catholic, describing her reaction to the October 7 outrages. 'It was never complex to me or grey or fuzzy,' she said. 'It was black and white as to who evil was in this scenario.' Molan has maintained that stance amid Israel's retaliation and the ongoing human crisis in Gaza. Former Sky News Australia colleague Sharri Markson moved quickly last year to quash a conspiracy theory that Molan had been sacked from the network for her pro-Israel views. In December, Markson wished Molan her well in her future pursuits and wrote on X that it was 'categorically untrue' the 41-year-old had been booted off Sky 'because of her Zionism'. in their reporting of the onetime Footy Show presenter's removal by Sky. Daily newspaper Israel Hayom referred to Molan's response to the October 7 massacre in which more than 1,200 Israelis - mostly citizens - were killed and 254 taken hostage. 'Molan has been a vocal supporter of Israel on her Sky News Australia program,' the newspaper stated. 'Strongly condemning both Hamas' actions against Israeli civilians and the pro-Hamas demonstrations that have erupted worldwide, repeatedly using her platform to address the ongoing war.' Israel National News covered the presenter's axing under the headline: 'Sky News Australia fires pro-Israel host Erin Molan.' 'Australian news anchor Erin Molan, who repeatedly defended Israel in the year since the October 7 massacre, has been fired by Sky News Australia,' its story began. Molan posted an impassioned nine-minute video to X in December, repeatedly mentioning the Middle East conflict and thanking everyone who had supported her. 'So that's done now,' she said of her Sky job. 'But I am not. In fact, I'm just getting started. 'So I'm sorry to those who had hoped otherwise. I'm somewhat surprisingly much harder to kill off than you'd think. 'You see the problem is - and it's always been this way with me - I just care too much. 'About you, about the world, about a peaceful existence for every single child.' Molan has called Hamas terrorists 'blood-thirsty killers' and said she would continue 'fighting for every single hostage still captive in Gaza'. Markson's post on X came shortly after Molan's video went live. 'I have to clear up this notion that her departure from Sky is because of her Zionism - this is categorically untrue,' she said. 'No media outlet globally has shown more leadership or clarity on Israel's fight against terrorism and our own battle against antisemitism than us at Sky News Australia and News Corp.' Although network insiders suggested Molan was caught off-guard by the decision to cancel her show, Sky insisted they had ended their partnership with the host on amicable terms. Molan presented her weekly news program, Erin, for the final time on November 29. The decision to cancel Molan's show comes just months after the breakfast radio program she co-hosted alongside comedians Dave Hughes and Ed Kavalee was scrapped by Southern Cross Austereo's struggling 2DayFM station in August. The cancellation of Molan's two key hosting roles is understood to have come at a significant financial cost to the journalist. Sources said she had been pulling in about $200,000 a year for her 2DayFM radio gig and a further $150,000 a year from her job with Sky. Molan joined Sky News Australia in July 2022 after parting ways with Nine after 11 years at the network.

Bec Judd makes shock confession about her four children: 'I would not recommend'
Bec Judd, 42, made a surprising admission about motherhood on her Vain-ish podcast this week. The AFL WAG shares four children – Oscar, 13, Billie, 10, and twins Darcy and Tom, eight, with her husband Chris Judd. Speaking with her bestie and podcast co-host Jess Roberts, Bec's revelation is likely to leave her youngest, Darcy and Tom, scratching their heads. 'I just think four kids is a lot. Anything over two, I think is too many,' she revealed on air. Jess, who has three children, agreed, adding: 'You know what? It's a lot of chaos. And just to spread yourself between the four of them. I don't know how you do it. I struggle with three.' 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. Bec then gave an insight into her hectic lifestyle, admitting that it is a big challenge wrangling four children. 'It's like, we will be in the car and I'll be screaming at one of them, I'm threatening one to walk home. 'One's always injured or has some medical issue, or the school's calling about something,' she said. 'There's always something popping off.' It seems that the in-car yelling has rubbed off on her kids, with Bec admitting her children agree with her assessment. 'The kids in the car, when I'm screaming at them, just say: "Mum, when we grow up, we don't think we're going to have four kids – it's too many",' she laughed. 'I would not trade any of my kids in, but man, I would not recommend four!' Bec has never been one to shy away from sharing the minutiae of motherhood with her 725,000 Instagram followers - both good and bad. Back in January, for example, Bec took to her Instagram Stories to call out her two youngest children for causing havoc in the family's $7.3 million mansion in the Melbourne seaside suburb of Brighton. 'The last day of this bullsh*t,' Bec captioned a photo of Tom and Darcy's shared bedroom in a state of squalor. The mum-of-four rang in her 42nd birthday with a lavish party just days prior, followed by a long lunch at Montalto Winery. After a weekend of festivities, Bec returned to mum duties and was not at all pleased with the state of her boys' bedroom. Her photo showed the beds unmade, one with sheets ripped off, all the drawers in their double dressers left hanging open in a state of disarray, and shoes, toys and backpacks strewn across the floor. Two single mattresses had been added to the floor, presumably for a sleepover. 'Back to school you go boys,' she wrote in her caption. 'Considering boarding school for the twins at this point. 'I've also Googled military school and there's one in Queensland, but they're too young at this point.' She ended her caption with a disgusted emoji, followed by a series of laugh-crying emojis. It came just a week after Bec said she was 'sick' of her twins still behaving like toddlers. 'I popped my head in to see what we're dealing with today,' Bec began in a recent video, which shows dirty and clean clothes, books, and toys strewn all over the twins' bedroom. All of the drawers in a large clothing chest are pulled out, with clothes half pulled out of them and also thrown across the floor. 'How did we create these humans?' she asked her husband in the video's caption, tagging him. Bec described the messy state of the boys' bedroom as 'standard'. 'I'm packing up some s*** and found this,' Bec explained, as she zoomed in on a pile of glittery goop, which contained her sewing scissors and a stapler.

'No, we left the yoni steam for Jess,' Bec replied. She added her husband had made a special request of her before coming on to the Nine show.

'I have hair extensions sewn in, I used a prescription lash serum this morning to make my eyelashes grow better and I've got a fresh set of shellac gel nails,' she revealed on the show.

Ben Cousins shows off some VERY rare photos of him with his kids on a wild Aussie holiday
Ben Cousins might find himself fielding AFL contract offers from battlers like St Kilda if he is not careful, after his latest Instagram post showed the former West Coast star looking shredded while taking a break with his children. Cousins' battles with addiction have been well documented since they became public in 2007 after a series of off-field incidents, including arrests and suspensions. He was suspended from the AFL in 2007 and returned in 2009 to play two seasons with Richmond before retiring. Cousins faced numerous legal issues between 2010 and 2019, including drug possession, breaching restraining orders, and stalking, which led to multiple jail sentences. He was last jailed in 2019 but had all outstanding charges cleared by the end of that year. Since then, Cousins' fight against drug addiction has seen him make a comeback that has completely turned his life around. While the 47-year-old tends to keep his private life out of the spotlight these days, he recently shared happy snaps from a visit to the north of Western Australia on holiday with his young family. Cousins travelled to Kimberley Sands Resort in Broome with his two children Angelique, 11, and Bobby, 13, from his previous relationship with their mother Maya. Cousins was also joined on a cruise by a host of other A-list Australian celebrities, including radio presenter Fifi Box, former host of The Project Carrie Bickmore, and former West Coast Eagles teammate Chris Judd and his wife Bec Judd. 'Holidays up North… even better than I remembered,' he posted. 'Great stay Kimberley Sands Resort, already planning a trip back.' While many footy fans remember the sad and alarming images of an emaciated and bearded Cousins during his addiction battle, he looked a picture of health on his family holiday. With a ripped physique that would put many current players to shame, he engaged in a series of wholesome activities with his children including fishing, swimming, and a helicopter ride across the WA terrain. Cousins has previously been busy with his media duties and appearance on Dancing With The Stars. Normally a very private person, Cousins was happy to pose and smile for photos on his journey with his son and daughter 'Benny, you're a f***ing legend brother,' one commented. 'Every single person in Australia is happy to see you up and about my brother. You are a true inspiration and a true Aussie. 'Congratulations on the new life and enjoy every second.' 'So proud of you Ben, every time I see your smiling face it is just lit up with joy,' another posted. 'Love seeing you happy and love listening to you every morning on the radio - this is what we always dreamed of for you. Looks like an awesome trip.' Since turning his life around, Ben Cousins has taken significant steps to rebuild both his career and reputation. He returned to football in a community role with the West Coast Eagles, helping promote youth development and engagement. Later, he began coaching the Perth Demons' under-19 colts team, contributing to the next generation of local players. Cousins has also re-entered the media, taking on roles as a football analyst and more recently as a co-host on a Perth breakfast radio show.
