The Quicky

Earlier this week the world mourned the death of actress Shannen Doherty.

Her battle with cancer was made even more painful being forced to battle her now ex-husband who was having an affair during her treatment.

Shannen’s case isn’t isolated, it turns out many women have experienced a very similar thing. So why do some men cheat on their sick partners?

Breaking into the property market, or taking the next step to securing a new home, can be a risky one.

The world has watched on in shock following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. 

The shooting took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, with the Republican candidate speaking at an election campaign rally. We have the latest updates for you. 

So apparently there's a competition amongst the world's most prolific sperm donors to have their samples used as many times as possible.

Plus, the new Netflix doco The Man With 1000 Kids goes into great detail about it, and raises some important questions around the regulation and responsibility of donation clinics.

But what about the men donating to these places?

Today we meet a donor-conceived woman, who in her adult life, made some pretty confronting discoveries about where she came from.

POV: You're about to hop on a 12-hour flight, are you picking your favourite movie? Maybe you're reading up on the in-flight meal service. Or maybe... you're staring at the back of the seat in front of you. 

There's a relatively new trend of raw dogging your flight, where people basically just sit and stare into space until the end of their travels. 

That can't be good for you...right? We're asking an expert about what happens to the body on those extra long travel days. 

So if you're staring down the barrel of a long haul flight for Euro summer... listen to this first.
