It’s been nearly a week since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married in front of every single famous person they’ve ever met, and we are still. waiting. for a picture. of the DRESS.

Social media has been flooded with AI images, as young women across the globe tell their mums: “No, they’re not real. Remember when we had this talk about Zendaya?”

My general advice is not to trust anything that doesn’t come from an official source, namely the newlyweds. Citing a Dior spokesperson, The New York Times is reporting the first wedding photos will be posted directly to Taylor’s Instagram, but they “aren’t sure when that might be.”

And so we continue to wait, and wait and wait.

A UK court has dismissed Prince Harry’s case against the Daily Mail for alleged breaches of privacy. 

Sir Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley, and anti-racism advocate Doreen Lawrence were also claimants in the case.

The Court said the claimants “failed to prove their pleaded allegations”.

In a statement, Prince Harry and Lawrence called the outcome a “complete and obvious whitewash, but sadly not altogether unexpected.” 

Here’s what you need to know.

The trial against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), which publishes the Daily Mail, began in January. 

There were seven claimants in the case: Prince Harry, Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, former politician Sir Simon Hughes, actresses Liz Hurley and Sadie Frost, and anti-racism campaigner Doreen Lawrence.

The seven claimants alleged ANL collected information about them illegally, and misused it from “at least 1993” until 2011, “and even continued beyond until 2018.”

During the trial, the BBC reported London’s High Court heard a statement from Prince Harry saying he felt “paranoid beyond belief” due to ANL’s alleged “grave breaches of privacy”.

Barrister David Sherborne said there were 14 articles that allegedly included unlawfully obtained information.

Sir Elton John and Furnish accused ANL of “stealing” their son’s birth certificate.

This week, Justice Matthew Nicklin dismissed the group’s claims, on the grounds they “failed to prove their pleaded allegations of unlawful information gathering.”

Nicklin said the Court “rejected” their arguments, saying the evidence “did not prove” the information was “obtained unlawfully.”

The Court also said the claimants could not “replace” the initial arguments pleaded at the start of the case with “more serious” allegations stated during the trial. 

ANL Editor-in-Chief Paul Dacre called the dismissal an “overwhelming vindication of our journalism.”

Dacre said he “feel[s] sorry” for Prince Harry, stating “the bitter irony is that his mother, Diana, liked the Mail. We were her paper.”

He said the case “should never have been brought to trial,” calling it a “conspiracy... to destroy a paper.”

In a joint statement, Prince Harry and Lawrence accused the Court of “exonerating[ing] the Mail”.

“It feels here like one rule for the newspapers and another for the claimants,” they said.

Nominations for Hollywood’s most prestigious TV awards, the Primetime Emmys, have been announced, with emergency room drama The Pitt leading the pack with 25 nods.

The fifth and final season of Hacks earned a record 24 nominations, the most any comedy has ever received in a single year.

Here’s what you need to know about television’s night of nights.

Each year, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences oversees several ceremonies honouring achievements across news & documentaries, international TV, daytime TV, and technical and creative excellence. The big one, however, is the Primetime Emmy Awards.

The 78th Emmy Awards will be held in LA on 14 September, with Mariska Hargitay hosting (but you already knew that).

Shows that aired between 1 June 2025 and 31 May 2026 are eligible for this year’s awards. It means recent popular releases like I Will Find You, The Bear, and House of the Dragon will have to wait until next year.

There are over 100 Primetime Emmys categories with nominations typically split across three key categories: Drama, comedy, and limited series.

While The Pitt and Hacks have dominated, Pluribus (from the creator of Breaking Bad) also impressed with 18 nominations, including best actress in a drama for Rhea Seehorn. Seehorn won a Golden Globe for her performance in January and is considered an Emmys frontrunner.

Pluribus will go head to head with The Pitt for the top Emmy prize of best drama. The Diplomat, The Gilded Age, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Paradise, Pluribus, Slow Horses and Your Friends and Neighbours are also nominated in this category.

Noah Wyle, who claimed the best drama actor prize last year for his role as The Pitt’s Dr "Robby" Robinavitch, also has a chance to make it two from two.

Jason Bateman landed four Emmy ‌nominations, two for acting and producing DTF St Louis and two more for acting and directing limited series Black Rabbit.

In the best comedy race, Hacks will compete against Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking ​and Widow’s Bay.

Jean Smart is up for best comedy actress for the fifth time for Hacks, having won consecutive Emmys for all prior seasons. Her co-stars Hannah Einbinder and Megan Stalter are both nominated for supporting actress, with Paul W. Downs also up for supporting actor – rounding out the Hacks fab four noms.

A man with range, Colman Domingo picked up comedy and drama acting nods this year for The Four Seasons and Euphoria, respectively.

Australian Sarah Snook is up for two Emmys for the limited series All Her Fault, including lead actress. The highly competitive category also includes Claire Danes (The Beast In me) and Sarah Pidgeon, who played Carolyn Bessette in Love Story.

All Her Fault is nominated for outstanding series. As one of its executive producers, Snook could also win an Emmy here.

There is one notable absence from The Pitt’s 13 individual performer nominations: Shabana Azeez. The Aussie actor was seemingly overlooked, despite her breakout success on the show as student doctor Victoria Javadi.

There are 28 first-time nominees across all performance categories, according to the Television Academy.

This includes Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie, but not for the show that made him famous (which is a Canadian production and therefore ineligible). Instead, he’s up for an Emmy for his debut Saturday Night Live hosting appearance.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show has been nominated for a record nine Emmys, including best live variety special, while Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film is up for five awards.

Aussie audiences can stream the 78th Emmy Awards live on Binge on Tuesday 15 September from 10am (AEST).
