During my time as founder of a feted PR agency, as a women’s rights advocate and as the real-life inspiration for Edina Monsoon in Ab Fab, I’ve hosted some fabulous birthday celebrations.
My 40th was for 500 people in a huge film studio; my 50th for 150 in an old London chapel, and my 60th on the beach in Majorca for 50, with a huge paella cooked on an open fire.
But this spring, rather than throwing the usual big
Ever wanted to spend your life traveling?
Well these future cruise ship residents are hoping to do just that after spending up to $3 million on a cabin before Storylines’ MV Narrative is even built.
The ship will have 547 fully furnished residences that range from 237 square feet to 1,970 square feet, with the homes priced between from $1 million to $8 million for ‘the lifetime of the vessel.’
A ship’s average lifespan is usually about 30 years, but
Daniel Andrews has labelled Victoria the best state in the country by making a bizarre comparison to the US in his first press conference as re-elected premier.
Mr Andrews labelled his home-state as the centre of critical thinking and progress just as Massachusetts claims to be in the US.
‘This is the greatest state in our nation, there is no question about that,’ he said on Sunday, before listing all the areas he believed Victoria led Australia in.

This month the world’s ugliest shoe turns 20. Who would have thought Crocs — designed with holes to release the steam of its wearer, a bit like a crumpet, apparently — would become a high-fashion item, beloved by the likes of Balenciaga?
Crocs have come a long way since they first stumbled on to the market. Forget the boring primary shades of the originals; now they come in every conceivable shape, colour, pattern, style and even heel height.

A rare timewarp Mk1 Mini sold at a UK auction at the weekend for a staggering £52,875, having been kept by the last owner for 57 years and not driven for over three decades.
The low-mileage 1965 Cooper S ‘1071’, finished in a rare Almond Green paint, went to the block having spent the last 34 years in a garden shed in the midlands.
In the year it was produced, the Mini would have set buyers back £778. When the
There are some beauty hang-ups that I fully understand are exaggerated in my own head. For example, the way that my brows look more like adoptive sisters instead of twins, the strong crown I have at the back of my head that showcases a bald scalp and my down-turning eyes that prevent me from executing a stellar winged-liner look. I know very well that these small gripes are thought about a million times more intensely in my own head than … Read more
Rampton Secure Hospital is home to the most dangerous and disturbed people in the country.
Former patients include ‘Britain’s most violent prisoner’ Charles Bronson, the Soham murderer Ian Huntley and ‘Crossbow Cannibal’ Stephen Griffiths.
Its current inmates are equally chilling — among them child serial killer Beverley Allitt and Odessa Carey, who decapitated her mother with knives and scissors and carried her head around in a plastic bag.
But deep inside Rampton, past the airport-style security and through a labyrinth
A woman has admitted she spent almost a decade trying to hide her face after ‘daily picking sessions’ of up to six hours left her looking like she had permanent chicken pox.
Aubrey Wagner, of Columbia, South Carolina, said she first started picking her skin when she was aged 13 but this soon progressed into an ‘unhealthy coping mechanism’ to help her relieve tension and anxiety.
The 24-year-old said her habit intensified during stressful periods to the extent she’d find
A devoted dog owner spent $200,000 on surgery to fix shocking health issues her pet suffers due to dodgy breeding practices.
Maureen Elvy’s French bulldog called Phoebe has needed spinal, airway and genital surgery and regular immunotherapy costing $2,000 a treatment since she got the dog in 2017.
The dog’s health is so precarious that it’s allergic to 700 types of tree, and can only survive with a diet of crocodile meat and a hypoallergenic biscuit.
Ms Elvy was given
