When Mark Consuelos quietly announced his six-month leave, it landed less like TV gossip and more like a collective gut check. Sitting beside Kelly Ripa, his wife and co-host, he framed the break not as an exit, but as an act of protection — for his family, his health, and the life they’ve built beyond…

I walked into that salon thinking about split ends, not custody battles. My daughter’s terror over a simple trim led me down a trail of drawings, whispered promises, and weaponized grief. In Patty’s living room, with William’s sweatshirt hanging off her like a costume, I finally saw it clearly: she didn’t just miss her son…

Liverpool Hospital in south-west Sydney has opened a new kind of treatment space, where doctors can see a tumour clearly and treat it in the same moment.
