When TV SOAP spoke with Arianwen, she was preparing to travel to Italy for a long-postponed honeymoon. “My husband, Marcello, has family in Rome and we can’t wait to catch up with them all,” she explains. “Also, this trip is a sort of belated honeymoon – we were married four years ago, but haven’t yet had time for a honeymoon. So this trip is the perfect excuse for some romantic strolling through Venice.” After a well-deserved break, the Aussie actress will be taking meetings in LA and plans to fit in some work over there, before returning home to Australia to start shooting season four of APTCH in 2016.…

And everyone get’s on the bandwagon, that’s how you get a billion Twitter impressions, when you bring something to the market that people can sink their teeth into.” “People call me Fin (his character in the Sharknado movies) and ask me about the weather now. ‘How’s the weather today.

When Channel Seven announced in mid-2014 that season two of A Place to Call Home would be the last, the news was met with outrage from viewers nationwide. There were social media protests, online petitions and months of lobbying from fans of the local period drama.

Ask Luke Perry anything about the TV show that skyrocketed his career, Beverly Hills, 90210, and you will pretty much get the silent treatment.

TIGER WOODS Tiger Wood’s world came crumbling down when his dark secret was exposed and news broke he had cheated on his Swedish-born wife, Elin Nordegren.
