She took a leaf out of Amber Rose's style book by wearing a hooded dress to Fashion Week on Tuesday.  But it seems Kyle Sandilands' girlfriend Imogen Anthony had her sights set on Lady Gaga's aesthetic when she stepped out in a bizarre crystal mask and see-through dress at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia on Tuesday.  The zany Instagram enthusiast demanded attention as she posed up a storm in the other-worldly ensemble, which also featured a fur stole and platform leather boots.

Vicious rumours about an affair between Wayne Carey (inset) and Marc Murphy's fiancée Jessie Habermann (left and right) that sparked a brawl during an AFL match on Saturday may have began at a charity match eight months ago, when fans speculated on Twitter (inset) that Carey missed a goal because he was distracted by thoughts of her. The persistent rumour, which has no evidence to support it, has circulated for about 18 months but the fan's tweet was potentially the first time it was discussed openly. Carey took the extraordinary step of quashing any suggestion of a dalliance between him and Habermann in both a Twitter statement and TV interview, saying he has never talked to her.

AFL great Wayne Carey (pictured inset) says he has 'never, ever, ever' had a conversation with the wife of Carlton captain Marc Murphy, Jessie Habermann (couple pictured centre, Ms Habermann pictured on left and right) and rubbished rumours of a relationship. His remarks came as Murphy hit out at 'untrue' social media comments that were 'hurtful' to his wife and family after a wild on-field brawl on Saturday. Murphy was subjected to highly personal sledges during the Blues' spiteful clash with St Kilda prior to the fight. It had been suggested the comments were related to rumours of a relationship between Murphy's partner and Carey, but that has since been denied. 'I don't even know her,' a miffed Carey said in a TV interview with the Talking Footy program on Monday night.

'The person Ben was having discussions with was, it seems, this guy in WA,' Mr Macedone told Daily Mail Australia. 'But Ben was not in any 'ring' nor did he participate in any group discussions.' Mr Macedone said the Nine Network reporter had 'no knowledge' of what the West Australian man was allegedly 'into'. He said he had 'especially no knowledge (about the Western Australian man)... being a alleged rapist'.

Australian mother, Stevie Nicks (pictured left with two of her children), issued a warning to others after her daughter managed to climb up to her medicine cupboard (right)and 'overdose on prescription medication' (inset) on Monday.

The wedding was held in a small chapel on the island of Kauai.

A new optical illusion has left the internet baffled. Called the Shepard's tabletop illusion, it plays tricks on the way we perceive depth, leaving viewers stumped to which table is bigger. By manipulating the tabletops, viewers will then see that they are the same shape. Because we live in a 3D world, we automatically convert 2D objects on a page into a 3D interpretation. And without thinking, we accept what we are seeing without any questions - to the point that we see identical shapes as being different from each other.

Accused Australian drug smuggler Cassandra Sainsbury will see her family for the first time since she was arrested last month, following weeks of speculation of guilt from the public. Ms Sainsbury's family first spoke out about the woman's arrest in order to raise funds for her safe return to Australia - however their stories have been put under the microscope by the Australian people. Ms Sainsbury's mother Lisa Evans, pictured right, has only just landed in Bogota after negotiating a $1million television deal with 60 Minutes, five weeks after the woman's arrest. Ms Sainsbury's family called her a naive traveler but her instagram reveals a lavish globe-trotting lifestyle with the former personal trainer visiting more than five countries in six months, pictured centre in Canada in January on another work trip. The woman claims she thought she had bough headphones in Colombia - however pictures of Ms Sainsbury in front of the 18 packages show they are different shapes and sizes.

The two met in Berlin on Macron's first full day in office signaling his intentions to move rapidly on campaign promises to revive support for the bloc by reforming and strengthening it. Ahead of his visit, the 39-year-old indicated that he wanted a joint budget, parliament and finance minister for the eurozone. The chancellor's coalition has been at odds over how to respond to his plans, with some conservatives fearful the eurozone could develop into a 'transfer union' in which Germany is asked to pay for spendthrift states. In a nod to German concerns, Macron said during a news conference with Merkel that he had never pushed for jointly issued eurobonds and does not favor European countries taking joint responsibility for old debts. Following the press conference the leaders pictured drinking wine together on the balcony of the Chancellery.

Some of the prom-goers appear heartbroken, while other can't help but see the situation as hilarious.

Grant's recently discovered unpublished memoir, letters from his mother and never-before-seen home movie clips help tell the tragic tale.

Henderson Island, a territory of the UK, is a sanctuary to a host of threatened species including the Henderson Petrel and Henderson Crake, and its beaches are a nesting site for the endangered green turtle. But the activities of humans have turned what should be a pristine island paradise into a rubbish tip. More than 37 million bits of plastic junk - weighing some 17 tons - have washed up on its shores, threatening the island's wildlife. Jennifer Lavers of the University of Tasmania and Alexander Bond of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds carried out the landmark research project.

Manhoff was deported for espionage in 1954, and the reels of 16 millimeter film, along with color slides and negatives, were stored in a former auto body shop until the Seattle-based historian Douglas Smith uncovered them about 60 years later.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT The Syrian government has been accused of carrying out mass killings of thousands of prisoners by the US government - which released satellite images to prove it. The Trump administration claims the bodies of those killed were burned in a large crematorium attached to the Saydnaya prison complex outside the Syrian capital of Damascus. The allegation matches an Amnesty International report released in February which claimed up to 13,000 people - mostly civilians opposed to the government - have been hanged in secret at the prison. Stuart Jones, the acting US assistant secretary for Near Eastern Affairs, said Syrian President Bashar Assad's government 'has sunk to a new level of depravity' as he revealed the photographs.
