SUPERMODEL Elle Macpherson has been spotted hooking up with anti-vaxxer Andrew Wakefield. At least they can talk about their unusual ideas, writes Siobhan Duck.

AS a huge advocate of controversial health practices, Elle Macpherson appears to have acquired the perfect accessory for her activated almonds and yoga mats — an anti-vaxxer boyfriend.
Macpherson has been pictured locking lips with Andrew Wakefield (the bloke who falsely connected the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to autism) while shopping for — what else — organic vegetables at a fresh fruit market.

SIOBHAN DUCK: WATCHING A HORROR SHOW
As we know, Macpherson made her name modelling for Sports Illustrated in the 1980s, acting (badly) in films such as Sirens and flogging undies. Wakefield became famous for his now debunked paper scaremongering about immunisations.
But if you thought it would be exciting to find yourself on the arm of an uber-wealthy supermodel, think again.
This is also a woman who spends countless hours “practice breathing” and says her daily skin-brushing regimen is “non-negotiable”.
The Body also avoids using smart phones or watching TV. I guess that means Wakefield wasn’t romancing her with racy texts or invitations to cuddle up on the couch to binge-watch a Netflix series.
It’s hard to imagine what a 61-year-old, not-yet-divorced, father-of-four could offer an eccentric supermodel. Apart from lots of conversation about their unusual ideas on holistic health and clean living.
Oh, and quality time spent shopping for organic veggies.
LAP UP THE ATTENTION
KYLIE Jenner wants to keep her relationship private because her beau, Travis Scott, doesn’t like the attention.
And what better way to tell us than by posing half-naked for GQ?
“I know he doesn’t like the attention,” Jenner said of Scott. “That’s why we just go the extra mile to keep our relationship super private, or like, if he has events or something, I won’t come.”
It’s laughable that going to parties together is too much for poor, shy Scott, but straddling him on a magazine cover is seemingly no big deal.
EX STIRS THE POT
BRAD and Ang could learn a lot from Bruce and Demi. While Pitt and Jolie are locked in bitter and protracted divorce negotiations, action hero Bruce Willis and his ex-wife Demi Moore appear to be one of the most loved-up ex-couples in Hollywood.
Moore was a surprise speaker at a roast of the Die Hard star and poked fun at her ex’s form as a husband and actor.
“I look at our marriage like The Sixth Sense,” she joked of his famous horror movie. “You were dead the whole time.”

Human cost of pandemic goes much further than virus
Whether you are pro or anti-lockdown the grim, unintended consequences of the fixation on coronavirus are undeniable, as other diseases — including cancer and heart disease — go unchecked, and despair from joblessness, poverty and financial stress rises, writes Rita Panahi.
Premier must outline his plan so Melbourne can recover
As the community overwhelmingly complies with the Premier’s stage four restrictions, he must clearly outline his virus strategy so we can make plans to rebuild confidence and employment in our city, which right now is a ghost town, writes Jeff Kennett.
