Celeb in 5: Thursday's best entertainment and gossip news.

 

1. The subtle but rude gesture by Ivan you missed on The Bachelorette last night.

We just spotted something a bit controversial on last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, you know the one where Australia had to watch Ivan Krslovic blend an avocado, skin, pit and all.

Needless to say, he did not get a rose that night.

You see, Ivan knew his time with Ali was coming to an end. His double date-off with Bill was not going in his favour but he had a last-ditch plan. He was going to kiss her.

The only thing was that Ali did not want to be kissed, and that’s when the 29-year-old dancer chose this moment to show how he really felt about the Bachelorette, and flipped her the bird.

Or so it has been assumed.

To be honest, we don't know what to think... Was it a subtle but intentional flipping of the bird, or an awkwardly posed head rest?

You decide.

2. In a hilarious post about avocados, Tara Pavlovic has panned the Bachelor franchise.

Tara Pavlovic has been on Australian reality TV twice.

First, in Matty J's 2017 season of The Bachelor, and again on Bachelor in Paradise in early 2018.

After those experiences, she wants us to know, in no uncertain terms, that there's nothing real about reality TV. Shocking.

Following Wednesday night's episode of The Bachelor, the Gold Coast nanny shared an Instagram story panning the franchise that gave her her public profile.

"I have been trying to find a way to describe how real reality TV is for about 10 months now. I have struggled, but I have now found the perfect description..." she wrote.

"It's about as real as two whole avocados being blended whole in a blender and nothing at all going wrong."

To be fair, Tara does have a point.

If we put two whole avocados in a blender, it's likely we'd be in hospital.

Two weeks after finalising her divorce from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner is reportedly dating again. Good on her.

Us Weekly reports multiple sources have confirmed the 46-year-old actress has been seeing 40-year-old businessman John Miller for six months.

“They’ve been together six months — and it’s getting pretty serious," a source told the publication.

"Jen brings out the best in John, and he is the happiest he has probably ever been. It’s a loving, healthy relationship.”

Garner and Affleck married in 2005 and are sharing custody of their three children Violet, 12, Seraphina, nine, and Samuel, six.

She may only be seven years old, but Willow Sage Hart has already inherited her mum Pink's singing skills.

Yesterday, Pink shared footage from the recording of 'A Million Dreams' from The Greatest Showman – Reimagined album - and fans were stunned by little Willow's impressive singing skills.

In the video, Pink mouths the lyrics of one of her own songs to her daughter as the seven-year-old sings into the mic.

"I think you're fun," Pink told her daughter on the video. "I'm glad I had you."

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight back in 2016, Pink described her daughter as being "pitch perfect".

"She's pitch-perfect and she's loud, which is always good... if you can't hit the note, just be loud. I let her be free and wild."

5. We asked Ivan exactly what was happening with those avocados on The Bachelorette last night.

Excuse me, but we need to talk about Ivan and the avocado incident again.

You see, Ivan has been very busy all his life trying to be a shit Channing Tatum and he’d never come across an… avocado.

He didn’t know what to do with them and this happened…

So, being the serious investigative journalists we are, we got Ivan on the phone to get to the bottom of #AvocadoGate.

"It was a high pressure stakes situation and you know, I was just reading what was there on the paper and it said 'two whole avocados in the blender' so that's what I did," he explained to us.

Maaaate.

To be honest, we're still scratching our heads over the situation, but you can read his entire - and baffling - response here.
