Last week, Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced that they are splitting after 27 years of marriage.
“We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” the former couple said in a statement. “Our journey is now shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”
The statement was signed “Deb and Hugh Jackman,” and ended with: “This is the sole statement either of us will make.”
Now, Furness has made her first public statement about the situation – by accident.
On Tuesday, radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson accidentally called the actress, 67, on air.

Over the years, our crush on Zac Efron has only intensified. With his hunky appearances in movies like "Neighbors 2" and "Baywatch," the actor has certainly come a long way since his adolescent days on Disney Channel. In addition to making us swoon, he has also gained the company of a few women. He's previously dated Vanessa Hudgens, Lily Collins, and Sami Miró.
Efron was last linked to Australian model Vanessa Vallardes in 2020. However, after 10 months of dating, the two reportedly called it quits, per Elle. Australian radio host Kyle Sandilands later confirmed the split. "They've gone their separate ways. [There was] no drama. It's done," he said. "He's back to work. They had spent a lot of time with each other when he wasn't working, you know, lunching and living in the mansions on the beach; it's a fabulous life. Then work comes back and kicks you straight back into reality.

It doesn't get as American as apples, and like everything else in this country, the noblest of fruits presented our chefs with more than a few problems.
The mystery box challenge was back on MasterChef Season 13 Episode 6, and things got kicked up a notch when the regions had to present the judges with sweet or savory dishes featuring whatever variety of apples tickled their fancies.
And King Kyle showed his strategic and lowkey evil streak by assigning regions to dish styles perfectly, with mixed but overall effective results.
Also, when is the last time we've seen Joe this aggravated? It's been a minute!
Let's unpack all the disastrous and triumphant results of the Apple challenge.

Ironically, no one presented any variation of an apple pie for this competition, not even a deconstructed one. I'm looking at you, Richie... Richie?

Zac Efron has opened up about those viral photos that led to plastic surgery rumors.
Last year, Efron made a brief appearance in an Earth Day special hosted by Bill Nye.

The song, which comes from Urban’s most recent album Graffiti U, is, according to the country star himself, all about his wife. In it, he even drops a mention about what Kidman, 52, is apparently like in bed!

Kendall Jenner's topless cover for Love magazine has made a lot of people uncomfortable, but the 18-year-old model insists that it's "not weird in any way."
During an interview with Australia's KissFM last week, Kendall told Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O that the shoot didn't feel awkward at all, saying that the shoot was more about "energy and vibes and good music."

Reporters, take note: Don't mess with those close to Cameron Diaz. The 41-year-old beauty phoned in to the Kyle and Jackie O radio show on Tuesday with her Sex Tape costar Jason Segel, although she choose to abruptly end the interview after host Kyle Sandilands took a jab at her bestie Drew Barrymore's past drug use before proceeding to bring up Diaz's boyfriend, Benji Madden. Yeah, that happened. The interview started off smoothly, with the two gushing over their kiddie costars in flick before Jackie O remarks that Giselle Eisenberg, the actress who plays Diaz's daughter in the comedy flick, reminds her of Drew Barrymore in the 1982 classic E.T....

Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore have been Bff for years; besides starring together in the Charlie's Angels movie franchise, the two have talked each other up endlessly in interviews and Cameron was even the maid of honor in Drew's 2012 wedding to Will Kopelman. It comes as no surprise, then, that Cameron would have such a strong reaction to a radio host's comment about Drew and her history of drug abuse. During Kiis 106.5's Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday, Cameron talked up her new movie Sex Tape but abruptly ended the conversation after being asked about Drew's past scandals as well as Cameron's budding relationship with Benji Madden. The Australian hosts mused that Giselle Eisenberg, the little girl who plays Cameron's daughter in the movie, reminded them of a young Drew in 1982's E.T., to which Cameron replied, "Aw, yeah! She does, now that you mention it. And she's...

During an interview with Kiis 106.5's Kyle & Jackie O show, co-host Kyle Sandilands made a comment about the Sex Tape star's best friend Drew Barrymore that didn't sit too well with the actress. Jackie O pointed out that Diaz's on-screen daughter Giselle Eisenberg resembles Barrymore in 1982's E.T.
"She does, now that you mention it. And she's as bright and lively as Drew is, as well. She's a sweet little girl," Diaz responded.

She’s been spending an awful lot of time with Taylor Swift as of late, and Lorde is thrilled to have such a great friend in the music business.
So when Kyle Sandilands of “The Kyle and Jackie O Show” hinted at a possible romantic relationship in the making, the “Royals” songstress was understandably cranky.
Kyle asked, “Are you guys, like, uh, are you together now?” When Lorde didn’t immediately respond, he clarified, “Not together as in lesbians, I’m not talking about ‘Ellen together,’ I’m talking about, like, you guys are friendly, right?”
After carefully measuring her words, the New Zealand native fired back, “What do you mean you’re not talking about ‘Ellen together’? Is there something wrong with lesbians?”
Sandilands tried to recover- “My God, no, I would love that. I would totally love that. Are you going to confirm now you’re in a lesbian relationship with her?...

Lorde does not mess around when it comes to her pal Taylor Swift. The "Royals" singer was interviewed on The Kyle & Jackie Show on Australia's Kiis 1065 radio station today and got defensive when asked about her growing friendship with the country crooner. The shock jock did his best to crack a joke (albeit a really bad one) about the fact that the two stars have been inseparable lately—and Lorde just wasn't having it. "Are you bringing your new bestie, Taylor Swift?" Kyle Sandilands asked about her upcoming New York City concert. "I see your guys' pictures everywhere. Are you guys, like, uh, are you together now?"

The Today Network has launched a new feel-good ad campaign featuring its presenters including Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O as it attempts to rebound from a run of PR disasters.
The four minute promo called “That Feeling” was filmed – mainly in slo-mo – on an outdoor high-rise terrace in Brisbane, and also features Hamish and Andy, Fifi Box , Jules Lund and others at a party.
The video features the song “We Come Running” by Us band Youngblood Hawke.
“The campaign demonstrates the accessibility of the network’s talent, and the engagement they have with their audiences on a daily basis via radio, online and social media,” the network said in a statement.
A 30 second national Tvc will also be launched on January 27.
Notable absentees are DJs Michael Christian and Mel Greig, who are understood to still be receiving counselling after their Royal prank call to a London hospital was linked to a nurses suicide.

In this roundup from the Encore and Mumbrella Annual, we look back at the seven most disliked on-air personalities from the last 12 months.
1. Kyle Sandilands
While the public don’t seem to like Kyle Sandilands all that much, his Sydney breakfast radio show remains number one among the FM commercial stations.
2. Matthew Newton
Broadcasters and producers have stayed away from the troubled Matthew Newton who has been diagnosed with a mental illness and is living in the Us. It looks unlikely he will return to our screens any time soon.
3. Sam Newman
Newman is no stranger to public backlash and has been hauled over the coals for sexist and racist on-air comments. In May he angered anti-drug advocates when he pretended to smoke a bong on TV.
4. Ben Cousins
The good-looking Ben Cousins should be perfect talent but he has struggled with drug issues in the media spotlight and, as recently as April this year,...

Lifeline: Call 13 11 14
More than 20 years ago, when I was a junior reporter, my news editor told me something that had happened to him perhaps 20 years before that. The story has always haunted me a little.
He took a phone call from a politely spoken man. This man had appeared in court that morning, and was concerned that his relatively minor misdemeanour – perhaps it was drink driving, although I can’t remember – would appear in the paper, which he would find terribly embarrassing. The news editor explained that the paper, which was a respectable local broadsheet, felt it had a duty to the public to cover every case that came in front of it.
The man politely thanked him for his time and hung up. And killed himself.

The Today Network is facing one of the largest crises in the radio network’s history after the nurse who was taken in by an on-air prank is reported to have killed herself.
According to reports in the UK, Jacintha Saldanha was the nurse who had transferred the call from Summer 30 presenters Mel Greig and Michael “Mc” Christian.
The pair put on comedy voices and pretended to be The Queen and Prince Charles seeking information about the Princess’ acute morning sickness. After the nurse on the switchboard put them through, another gave out the information.
The Today Network’s lawyers vetted the content of the call before the recording was broadcast.

Radio pranks have been part of the craft for years, but there’s a knack to pulling them off as 2DayFm hosts Mel Greig and Michael “Mc” Christian found, says Jason ‘Jabba’ Davis.
Radio pranks have been a part of the game since 1938 when listeners were panicked at the prospect of an impending martian invasion by Orson Welles. It set the tone for the next 75 years of radio tomfoolery.
Pranks and prank calls have been a staple of radio shows with hosts from Howard Stern to the Jerky Boys favouring the ‘gotcha’ call.
But what makes jokes good or bad? Earlier this year two Canadian radio DJs known as the Masked Avengers created headlines when they prank-called the U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon who thought he was speaking with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Moon took the joke well, he is a diplomat after all, and the show benefitted from the publicity.

Southern Cross Austereo’s Today Network has ended the year at the centre of another controversy after the hosts of The Summer 30 show made a prank call to the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge is staying, and tricked staff into revealing details about her treatment.
The stunt – which saw Mel Greig and Michael “Mc” Christian impersonate the Queen and Prince Charles - has made global headlines. The call came on Christian’s first day on the show.
The Princess has been in hospital after suffering severe morning sickness symptoms in the early stages of her pregnancy.
It drew angry reaction form the hospital which reportedly described it as “foolish and deplorable”.
However, it is not obvious that whether any Australian radio broadcasting codes have been breached. The network had the recording approved by a lawyer prior to broadcast and has reviewed it since the furore erupted.
