Chrissie Swan has added a girl to her brood! The radio host gave birth to a daughter and named her Peggy. It's her third child with husband Chris (or "The Chippie" as he's affectionately known to Chrissie's listeners), joining older brothers Leo and Kit. The news was announced on The Project last night.
Chrissie's current TV gig is as the host of Network Ten's Can of Worms, but James Mathison will cover for her while she's on maternity leave.
Congratulations to Chrissie and her family!
There were two things that had our favourite famous Tweeters up in arms this week: The supposed Mayan apocalypse, and the proposed changes to everyone's favourite app, Instagram. And yep, as we've come to expect, the celebs we follow were vocal about both. Pink went as far as to say she'd be quitting the photo-sharing app for good, while Jonah Hill likened the effect of the new rules to a broken heart (what a romantic). As for the end of the world? Some people were relieved to see it was nothing more than a myth, while others (like Lauren Conrad) were kind of relying on the end to be nigh. And Megan Gale? She just wants us to have a safe Christmas break — proving she's gorgeous on the inside, too. Click through this gallery of this week's celebrity tweets for a bit of insight, a bit of confusion, and lots of entertainment!
Nothing gives us an insight into the minds of our favourite celebrities quite like Twitter does. In 140 characters or less, celebrities can have us in stitches, leave us confused, make us wonder and basically keep us entertained all day long. This week, many stars were visiting our lovely country, and write about us they did! Benji Madden and Nicki Minaj both fell head over heels for the Aussie music scene while Russell Brand was preparing for what will probably be a wild trip to Perth. Miley Cyrus discovered a whole new group of fans, Ellen took her private jet out for a quick spin and Chrissie Swan asked a pressing question about tuna sandwiches. Yep, there were no stones left unturned — click through the gallery to get up to speed with this week's best tweets!
Chrissie Swan has given birth to a boy named Kit! The TV personality, who is one of the four hosts on The Circle, tweeted the happy news last night: “Great news, everyone! My new baby arrived at 5.30pm! A baby bro for Leo. He looks like his Dad...gorgeous! His name is Kit. I'm in love..X.” Chrissie’s elder son Leo is 2. Her Circle co-hosts were very happy to “welcome the newest edition to The Circle family” and posted on Facebook that “he is a cutie!” 2011 has been a big year for Chrissie, personally and professionally — she was nominated for a Gold Logie and took home the Logie for most popular new female talent. Congratulations to Chrissie, her partner Chris and their growing family!
We saw some gorgeous beauty looks from our favourite Aussie celebrities on the red carpet at the Logies last night from Megan Gale's shimmering eye makeup, Sarah Murdoch's sleek blunt bob and Laura Dundovic's slicked-back high ponytail! Have a flick through our gallery and let us know in the comments section who sported your favourite beauty look of the night!
We’re still coming off our post-royal wedding high but there’s no time to rest and relax just yet — the Logies are happening tonight! As usual, the big trophy of the night is the coveted Gold Logie, which will decide who the most popular personality on TV is. Packed to the Rafters stars Rebecca Gibney and Jessica Marais have been hot favourites from the start due to the popularity of their show, however buzz surrounding Chrissie Swan’s inclusion in the category sparked talk that people may vote for her because she’s the underdog. Asher Keddie’s chances have been helped by her brilliant portrayal of Ita Buttrose on Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo, while Karl Stefanovic and Adam Hills have long been likeable male personalities on the small screen. So tell us — who do you want to win the Gold Logie tonight?

The 2011 Logie Award nominations were announced last night against a gorgeous Sydney Harbour backdrop at the Overseas Passenger Terminal. It’s the first time the announcements were made a day before TV Week magazine hit the stands, and there were some expected nominations as well as surprises. Fan favourite Packed to the Rafters picked up an impressive 15 nominations across the popular and outstanding categories, with its leading ladies Rebecca Gibney and Jessica Marais also nominated for the coveted Gold Logie. Zoe Ventoura joined them in the most popular actress category while Erik Thomson, Hugh Sheridan and Michael Caton are all vying for most popular actor. The Circle presenter (and former Big Brother contestant) Chrissie Swan surprised everyone with her three nominations, including one for Gold. She said, “It’s ridiculous to me; my mum and dad have not gotten over it since I told them.” Other personalities in the running for the Gold Logie are Adam Hills from Spicks and Specks, Asher Keddie from Offspring and Karl Stefanovic from Today.
