The Met Gala — the grand final of fashion and celebrity is back irl! As expected, the red carpet was dripping with looks, including one from New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her sumptuous white mermaid gown slashed with the red-lettered “Tax the Rich” message on the back made a statement — but what was it? 

Keanu Reeves’ Resurrections: the superstar features in two highly anticipated upcoming sequels — The Matrix 4: Resurrections and John Wick Chapter 4: Resurrection [yes, same name!]. The Matrix 4 trailer reveals some tantalising details, like a reunion between Keanu Reeves, 57 and Carrie-Anne Moss, 54. 

Oh happy day! Pub Choir’s Astrid Jorgensen is our feature interview. The award-winning choir director talks about the songs on her blacklist, why group singing is good for us and her joyful, joyful love for Sister Act 2.

Also: Tony Armstrong’s delightful blooper on ABC News Breakfast cheers the nation.
