Tom Williams

Television personality Tom Williams asked girlfriend designer Rachel Gilbert to marry him last night! According to reports, the pair went to dinner last night at their favourite restaurant, Buzo in Woollahra, Sydney, where Tom popped the question. Dating since early 2011, Tom and Rachel initially met at the Cleo Bachelor of the Year party and have been together ever since. Tom confirmed their newly engaged status on Twitter, saying "Its true! @RachelGilbertau and I are getting married. We are both thrilled and overwhelmed by all our family and friends love and support." Congratulations to the happy couple!

The Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival kicked off last night at Sydney’s Town Hall to bring the best of Rosemount Australian Fashion Week to the masses. Stars who graced the front row at RAFW in May, such as Kate Waterhouse and Erin McNaught, showed their support for Aussie fashion once again by attending last night. Kate and Erin, who showed off lighter hair and enjoyed the festivities with boyfriend Nathan Jolliffe of The Amazing Race Australia, took to Twitter to praise Peter Morrissey’s runway return, his first since buying back his company. Tom Williams also had a date night out with new girlfriend Rachel Gilbert, who usually experiences fashion shows from behind the scenes.

Love appears to have blossomed between presenter Tom Williams and fashion designer Rachel Gilbert! According to the Daily Telegraph, the two met at the Cleo Bachelor of the Year party in April and have been quietly dating since. Following his split from long-term girlfriend Kylie Speer in September last year, Tom was linked to PR consultant Kristi Townley, who used to date Daniel MacPherson.

Other stars who are enjoying a new romance are 90210’s AnnaLynne McCord and former Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell, who will appear together onscreen in Officer Down. Despite having an 18-year age gap (she’s 23, he’s 41), the couple appeared loved-up during one of AnnaLynne’s filming breaks on a beach in LA on Tuesday. AnnaLynne, who celebrates her birthday tomorrow, was previously in an on-off relationship with Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz.

Last night Olympic swimmer Eamon Sullivan was crowned CLEO Bachelor of the Year! From more than 1 million votes, Eamon was the top pick of the 50 finalists, and aside from picking up the title he also took home a brand new Nissan Micra. The announcement came at the end of a fun-filled black tie event held at the Ivy Ballroom, hosted by CLEO magazine with the always-entertaining Sophie Monk as MC. The Bachelor nominees looked great in their tuxedos while the ladies took the opportunity to frock up in glamorous gowns of the mini or floor-length variety. And the festivities didn’t stop at the announcement — the good times kicked on with an after party at the Ivy’s VIP Den.

Last night Sydney was the lucky city chosen to host the big world premiere of Thor! Events Cinemas on George St was taken over by a long red carpet, which was walked by Thor stars Jaimie Alexander, Tom Hiddleston, director Kenneth Branagh and man of the moment Chris Hemsworth, who was excited that he got to premiere his first major blockbuster in his home country. As they made their way along the press line, Jaimie — who looked stunning in a Mirco Giovannini dress — told us a bit more about her character, Sif, saying she’s like Thor’s “right-hand man” (except she’s a woman!) and that she lost 20 pounds for the very physical role. Tom said he loved playing a villain, while Chris had nothing but praise for the big names he shares the screen with, such as Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman, who unfortunately couldn’t make it out to the Sydney event. The premiere was also like a Home and Away reunion, with many former and current cast members showing their support for Chris’ big Hollywood moment.
