Yellow Wiggle Greg Page slams Justin Timberlake in 'brutal' TikTok: 'Getting roasted by the OG!'
Yellow Wiggle Greg Page has taken a playful dig at pop star Justin Timberlake. Page posted an exercise video to TikTok on Wednesday in which the 53-year-old can be seen doing push-ups with minimal effort while listening to the superstar's tune Can't Stop the Feeling. In the short clip, Greg can be seen taking little breaks as he listens to a live version of the 2016 hit in which Timberlake stops his vocals to let excited concertgoers take over the song completely. 'When you're working out to your favourite JT song and you are giving as much as he does', he said in his cheeky share. Fans appeared to love the Timberlake diss, with 372 followers commenting on the amusing sledge.

Page posted an exercise video to TikTok on Wednesday in which the 53-year-old can be seen doing push-ups with minimal effort while listening to the superstar's tune Can't Stop the Feeling 'JT catching strays from Greg Page wasn't on my 2025 Bingo Card, but if someone has it, mark it down,' said one user on the thread which has attracted 24.3K 'love' emojis. 'I think I can handle this new JT workout,' joked another follower, while a third added, 'This is how I normally work out… can't believe I haven't seen any results yet 18h ago.' 'Getting roasted by the OG Yellow Wiggle is absolutely brutal,' commented another user. 'Greg you're a legend,' another fan gushed. It comes after Greg revealed revealed that he was returning to show business earlier this year. The former star children's entertainer, who hung up his Yellow Wiggle skivvy back in 2013, was back on stage in March as part of the new musical production of Annie at the Capitol Theatre, Sydney. He plays President Roosevelt for the show which is now playing in Melbourne. Greg says that while he was performed all over the world, tackling a theatre role is very different to being part of a group for children. 'This is very scripted... with the Wiggles we had flexibility and we could improvise,' he told the Canberra Times back in March. 'It's one thing to take a man out of the Wiggles but you can't take the Wiggles out of the man,' Page said. He added: 'I've performed in many theatres, many times in different countries. This is a very different experience.' Greg had been experiencing health difficulties since December 2005, when he underwent a double hernia operation. He was forced to withdraw from the group's 2006 US tour after suffering repeated fainting spells, slurred speech, fatigue, and trembling. After bring diagnosed with a non-life-threatening form of dysautonomia - a hard-to-diagnose chronic illness - Greg decided to step away from the beloved musical act. In doing so he made way for newcomer Sam Moran. After making a return to the Wiggles in 2012, replacing Sam, Greg suffered a near-fatal heart attack while on stage with the group, for a one-off reunion concert at Castle Hill RSL in 2020. A young off-duty nurse in the audience found a defibrillator in the RSL and desperately worked to resuscitate Page while waiting for an ambulance. In his first interview since the attack on radio station 2GB, Greg said he had no warning signs. 'I went happily on my way, Wiggle-d my butt off that night, and nearly didn't make it,' he recounted of the concert. Despite his heart attack, Greg said he still considers himself to be 'fitter' than he's ever been, and said he was carrying more weight when he left The Wiggles in 2013. 'I felt really good. No warning signs, no symptoms, so when the show was coming up, I thought, "Yeah, okay, I'll just walk a little bit harder this morning, go a little bit faster"' he said.

Jared Cannonier 'can't really make any reasoning' why UFC booked him vs. Michael Page
Jared Cannonier explained why he's not happy to draw Michael Page at UFC 319. Former title challenger Cannonier (18-8 MMA, 11-8 UFC) takes on Page (23-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in a middleweight bout Aug. 16 at United Center in Chicago (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). Page has only fought once at 185 pounds in the octagon when he handed Shara Magomedov his first-career loss at UFC Fight Night 250. Cannonier on the other hand, has fought the who's who in the division, from Israel Adesanya, to Robert Whittaker, and Sean Strickland. "The issue is that I have with the fight is that he's not really a middleweight," Cannonier told Submission Radio. "I'm focused on getting back to the title. I understand it's a big fight, it's on a big card. So, there is some weight there." Ex-UFC fighter Joe Riggs claimed that Cannonier wasn't too excited when offered Page, and how he heard Dana White had Cannonier on the "chopping block." Cannonier addressed Riggs' comments. "That's the rumor you guys have heard so, I'm going to leave it at that, a rumor that y'all heard," Cannonier said. Cannonier was asked if the matchup has grown on him over time, and his answer was no. "It's business as usual," Cannonier said. "It's all about the next fight, to be honest. It's not that. He may be unranked, but I don't know. I can't really make any reasoning behind the matchmaking. It's still an exciting fight. I've watched 'MVP' for a long time. He's a world-renowned fighter, and we all know who he is. We all love to watch him fight. So, it's still a big fight and with any fight, a dominant finish will get me back on track of where I want to go."

Jets UDFA DL Payton Page projected to make roster
The New York Jets are a handful of completed practices in the books at training camp. A slew of undrafted free agents are attempting to make the 53-man roster. One of the early standouts has been former Clemson defensive lineman Payton Page. The ex Tigers standout was named Third-team All-ACC in 2024. Page started all 14 games, recording 32 tackles and was named a team captain. Page participated in the Shrine Bowl, and also leaped a 33-inch vertical at the NFL scouting combine. The Bleacher Report recently named one undrafted free agent capable of making the roster for all 32 teams. They chose Page for the Jets. "The New York Jets should be looking to add quality depth along their defensive interior," Brent Sobleski wrote. "The group is shaky beyond the combination of Quinnen Williams and Derrick Nnadi. Leonard Taylor III provides some upside after making the roster as an undrafted free agent last year. Otherwise, the options consist of journeymen who can be upgraded." "Payton Page didn't become a full-time starter along the Clemson defense until his final year on campus," Sobleski continued. "The Tigers are always loaded up front and even a highly regarded recruit of his caliber has to wait his turn. If New York's coaching staff uses him in the right way, he can plug a gap effectively and allow others to make plays." It's accurate the Jets are searching for an effective interior defensive lineman to play next to Quinnen Williams. Derrick Nnadi was signed to a team-friendly deal, and Leonard Taylor III is expected to take a developmental step forward. Nothing is guaranteed to those players, and there should be lots of competition for playing time at camp. Page is a player capable of taking advantage.

Film reviews: Fantastic Four's First Steps is goofy, ridiculous and enjoyable
THE Fantastic Four have yet to connect with the moviegoing audience in the same way as their Marvel peers – Spider-Man, Ironman, the Avengers et al – and it's unlikely that Fantastic Four: First Steps (12A) will propel the quartet into the blockbuster franchise bracket. It has its own charm, though: Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm / the Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm / the Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm / The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are already established superheroes as the movie opens, beloved as the Earth's protectors and peacemakers. So when the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) arrives from deep space to inform humanity that it's doomed to be consumed by the planet-devouring Galactus (Ralph Ineson), the foursome suit up and blast off into the galactic depths to confront the voracious 'space-god'. So far, so expected, but do keep an eye on that subtitle, because the Invisible Woman, and despite what we assume is all medical advice to the contrary, goes rocketing off into battle with Galactus whilst heavily pregnant. Which, yes, sounds a touch preposterous, but to be fair Fantastic Four: First Steps takes no more liberties with biology and physics than the vast majority of superhero movies. There's a good chemistry between the four leads, with Vanessa Kirby first among equals as she plays a woman with all manner of unusual gifts but whose real super-strength is her maternal instinct, while Julia Garner's Silver Surfer is one of the coolest things to happen to the genre in the past decade. And then there's the production design, which situates the story in a kind of retro-futuristic 1960s and allows this iteration of the Fantastic Four to hark back to simpler times, when uncomplicated superheroes only ever had to deal with binary issues of good and evil. Endearingly goofy and frequently ridiculous, First Steps is the most enjoyable superhero flick of the year so far. GAZER. Gazer ★★★★☆ Cinematic release - review by Declan Burke Gazer (15A) stars Ariella Mastroianni as Frankie, a young mother who struggles to perceive time correctly due to a condition called dyschronometria, and thus focuses more closely than usual on other people and events as she tries to centre herself in the here and now. When she encounters Page (Renee Gagner) at a grief counselling session, Frankie finds herself drawn into the tangled web of Page's life, and quickly finds herself the main suspect when Page's dead body is discovered in the trunk of her car. Written by Mastroianni and Ryan J. Sloan, with Sloan directing, Gazer is an unconventional, slow-burning and highly stylised film noir that feels like it's been freshly plucked from the 1970s. Ariella Mastroianni is brilliantly befuddled as the cognitively impaired patsy stumbling through the mean streets of New Jersey searching for answers — due to Frankie's condition and paranoia, we're no wiser than she as to what is really going on — and there's strong support from Renee Gagner as the hard-as-nails femme fatale. Jonah Wren Phillips in the movie 'Bring Her Back.' Bring Her Back ★★★★☆ Cinematic release - review by Cara O'Doherty Following the success of their 2023 hit Talk to Me, Australian brothers Danny and Michael Philippou return with Bring Her Back (16s), an exploration of grief through a horror lens. When Andy (Billy Barrett) and Piper (Sora Wong) find their father unconscious, Piper desperately tries to save him, but it's too late. The kids are sent to live with much respected carer, Laura (Sally Hawkins), but while Piper gets a warm welcome, Andy faces a cold reception. Confused by the hostile treatment and the presence of a strange non-verbal foster child, Andy begins to sense that something is amiss. His instincts prove accurate as the situation escalates darkly. The film takes some truly gory turns, but the real horror lies in the lengths people will go to deal with grief. The kids are impressive, but it's Hawkins who steals the show, expertly eliciting sympathy from the audience despite her numerous wrongdoings.

Led Zeppelin guitar given away for free could sell for £50,000 at auction
The 1957 Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120 electric guitar was the prize in a competition run by New Musical Express magazine. The magazine's cover featured a photograph of Jimmy Page in cricket whites holding the guitar like a cricket bat. In an interview for the magazine, Page said he bought the guitar in Nashville, USA, for £200 in 1972. It is expected to fetch between £30,000 and £50,000 when auctioned at Gardiner Houlgate in Corsham, Wiltshire, on September 9. Competition entrants had to match six guitars with the famous guitarists who owned them. The correct entry selected as the winner was from Charles Reid of Hornsey, north London. Mr Reid was quoted as saying: 'Page must be mental giving away such a terrific guitar as this. 'It's the kind of instrument that every guitar player dreams of owning but can never really afford.' Mr Reid kept the guitar until September 1990 when he sold it to Phil O'Donoghue, of Chessington, Surrey, for £2,000. Mr O'Donoghue, a guitarist with the 1970s rock band Wild Angels, kept the instrument until his death earlier this year. The guitar is now being sold by Mr O'Donoghue's family. Auctioneer Luke Hobbs said: 'It's no exaggeration to say that Jimmy Page is a legendary guitarist and rock star. 'Very few of his guitars come up for auction and when they do, they attract huge interest from collectors, investors and fans of Led Zeppelin. 'What's so wonderful about this guitar is that we have the copies of the New Musical Express showing the competition and even a photo of Page giving the guitar to the winner, Charles Reid.' The guitar is being sold with original copies of New Musical Express – now known as the NME – receipts and correspondence. Page was the founder of British rock band Led Zeppelin. Formed in 1968, their popularity and influence grew to the point that the band was named by Rolling Stone magazine as 'the biggest band of the seventies'. Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980 following the death of drummer John Bonham.
