There are some 'celebrities' who really get my goat.
If you're a regular reader, you'll know is probably the biggest offender, and the No. 2 slot is occupied by so-called 'celebrity' trainer .
I have personal reasons for my sheer disdain for both of these people, but I won't go into them here, lest I send my blood pressure soaring.
Instead, let me give you a few names of the Sydney women I do have a lot of time for.
There's Double Bay nude artist Dina Broadhurst, former star and award-winning podcaster , and model and TV presenter Laura Csortan.
I've also got a soft spot for yoga studio owner Monique Pickles and model - who I backed all the way after her recent online tit for tat with her ex.

Jackie O was once the relatable, slightly daggy mum - the perfect antidote to Kyle's loudmouth larrikin persona (the co-hosts are pictured in 2005)
At 51, Jackie looks phenomenal. She's sculpted her body, sharpened her style and - most importantly - has become a fully paid-up member of the eastern suburbs 'in-crowd'. But has she lost some of her appeal in the process? (Jackie is seen at 2025 Australian Fashion Week)
And how could I forget? Radio personality , the long-serving (some might say long-suffering) co-host of The Kyle and Jackie O Show on KIIS FM.
And it's Jackie I want to talk to you about today.
Unless you've been living under a rock you'll know that Jackie is .
During the bust-up, he called her out for being unprofessional and unfocused at work, chastising her for being too focused on astrology. (Excuse me, Kyle, some of us want to know about Saturn rising!)

Let's be honest, it was an uncomfortable, toe-curling listen. I turned the volume down because I felt like I was eavesdropping on an estranged couple's mediation session.
I certainly didn't blame Jackie when she tearfully left the studio and swiftly took a week of leave. I would have done the same.
But to assume this clash was simply about the moon rising in Capricorn, or Pisces being the superior star sign (yes, I just had a birthday), would be foolish.
In my opinion, this explosion has been years in the making. It's a sentiment I share with media commentator Rob McKnight - who laid out his reasons - though I arrived at the same conclusion by a different path.
After splitting from her husband, Jackie buddied up with PR guru Roxy Jacenko. That was just the start. She soon traded up to become besties with fashion mogul Pip Edwards (right)
Jackie's socialite transformation was complete when she holidayed in Bali in January 2024 with TV golden girl Carrie Bickmore, who also went through a similar post-divorce glow-up

Let me be clear: Jackie's transformation is for the better and she's allowed to evolve. But anyone can see the multimillion-dollar dynamic has now altered
'Come on, this isn't really about the stars and the moon, is it? This is about two people who were once perfectly in sync now seeming to orbit in opposite galaxies,' writes Amanda Goff of Kyle and Jackie O's nuclear falling-out
He provokes, she calms. He lobs grenades, she defuses them. Their chemistry is spot-on, and it's no wonder they're earning the money they're on.
