Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are married. Social media is currently abuzz with some cute pics of the couple, so yes, it is official. The hottest looking couple in Hollywood are husband and wife. Here is the pic of their rehearsal dinner (the night before the wedding celebration), plus a sexy little video from their wedding, below:

The news of the death of this journalist has left me deeply sad. Adele Horin - a prolific writer, a staunch advocate of all she researched and wrote about, and an incredible writer on the area of aged care, in which I have long been interested. More on that below.
www.smh.com.au has done a lovely job of putting all her most renowned and well read posts in one link. You can see that link here.
Some of the feature titles include:
The reality of single Australian men in their 40s and 50s
"But dear readers, my luck has run out. I'm not going to be one of those feisty octogenarians I so admired."
And in the end, folks - that's all we have. Our legacy, what we leave behind, we choose what that is until the day we die, how we project ourselves, the mark we leave, how we are remembered.
I was a BIG fan of Adele's writing, as it appeared on her blog, 'Coming of Age.' When I researched an article on aged care, for my blog 'The Sandwich Generation', a companion to my book 'The Australian Ageing Generation Handbook', it was Adele's articles that often came up in my search. Such articles as:
If a parent has been mean, unloving or even abusive towards you as a child do you have an obligation to care for them in their old age? It’s a loaded question for many adult children who harbour anger, resentment …
“I want a Chinese husband,” I tell my partner of 30 years when he arrives at the hospital to see me at 2 pm. “He’s been here since 8 am. He sits by her bedside for 12 hours straight,” I …
And so, so many more.
Adele succumbed to lung cancer yesterday. A former Sydney Morning Heraldsocial affairs journalist, described as being "widely admired for giving a voice to the poor, abused and underprivileged", died on Saturday, having suffered cancer. She was 64.
This is a post from 'Keanu Reeves Online', a Facebook fan page, and it's going viral right now. "Most people know me, but don't know my story. At the age of 3, I watched my father leave. I attended four different high schools and struggled with dyslexia, making my education more challenging than it is for most. Eventually I left high school without earning a diploma. At the age of 23, my closest friend River Phoenix died of a drug overdose. In 1998, I met Jennifer Syme. We fell instantly in love and by 1999, Jennifer was pregnant with our daughter. Sadly, after eight months, our child was born stillborn. We were devastated by her death and it eventually ended our relationship. 18 months later, Jennifer died in a car accident. Since then I avoid serious relationships and having kids. My younger sister had lukemia. Today she is cured, and I donated 70% of my gains from the movie Matrix to Hospitals that treat leukemia. I am one of the only Hollywood stars without a Mansion. I don't have any bodyguards and do not wear fancy clothes. And even though I'm worth $100 million, I still ride the subway and I love it! So in the end, I think we can all pretty well agree that even in the face of tragedy, a stellar person can thrive. No matter what's going on in your life, you can overcome it! Life is worth living." We know this is in line with Keanu's story, but, at time of publishing this post, we are verifying if these are actually Keanu's words... still profound, of course.
This is SO my kinda TV series. It's Aussie, it's about food, it shows our darker side of Australiana - a little rude, sometimes, well, a little pissed, but definitely - generally - a bunch folks who love the cultures and foods that we have been blessed with in our country. This time, the kebab. Presenting, 'Kebab Kings', another fab SBS TV offering:
I mean, who DOESN'T love a kebab? It's the post-boozy staple. The big-ass roll of Leb-bread love which wraps up that shaved off (with that weird contraption) meat, loads of (healthy, phew) salads and cheese and tabouli, and that heavenly garlic sauce, and yeah, okay, maybe a good squirt of hot chilli sauce... it's the BOMB!
Says the short program description: Get to know the humble kebab, meet the characters behind the counters of kebab stores across the country and discover kebabs from around the world. And the longer version:
The humble kebab is a one thousand calorie icon of our fast food culture and late-night rite of passage, but what really goes on in the world of kebabs?
This original three-part series follows the staff and customers at two of Australia’s most popular kebab shops across three of the busiest weeks of the year leading up to Christmas.
Cameras capture what goes on behind the spit at Oz Turk in George Street Sydney, a notorious inner city strip carrying the nickname ‘The Angry Mile’, and Smith Kebabs in Melbourne’s newest hipster capital brimming with new bars and clubs, Collingwood.
Kebab Kings delves into the lives of the kebab shop owners and staff as they live the ‘Australian dream’, and explores the challenges they face when their beliefs and values come face to face with a very different culture on a daily basis.
In Melbourne, Australian-Indian Muslim couple Mustafa and wife Zareena have run Smith Kebabs for four years and have grand plans to build their business into an empire, all while juggling raising a young family. Alcohol-fuelled customers from gay clubs and hipster pubs in trendy Collingwood are often at odds with the Muslim culture of Smith Kebabs’ owners and staff.
Turkish couple Fatima and Nafi, along with their son Ufuk, have been kebab royalty of Sydney for 14 years, catering to the scores of tipsy city workers, backpackers and weekend revelers who party in the heart of Sydney’s CBD with charm and unwavering customer service.
Over a decade of 14 hour days has taken its toll and now the local legends have decided to retire, selling Oz Turk to rookie entrepreneurs and wannabe kebab kings, Syrian brothers Fadi and Rami.
The cameras in these two kebab shops capture people behaving badly, the problems with excess and human behaviour at its best. Heartwarming and poignant moments, outrageous and sometimes all too familiar late night conversations, and a whole lot of meat, Kebab Kings is a rare front-row seat to the mixing pot of Australian culture.

Adele is not only the hottest property in music right now, with her stunning back catalogue, and latest song 'Hello'... she's also really bloody funny! Here she is a clip which has surfaced overnight, with TV host Graham Norton, surprising a group of impersonators auditioning to be Adele. With a prosthetic nose and chin, plus a pair of gloves ("''cause of all my tattoos!"), Adele joined her imitators at the song try-outs, even mingling with the group ("She's taken her time," she says of her own new album... so good!) before she takes to the stage to blows them away, bringing them to emotional tears.
