8.51: Making entertainment news this morning:

Who is the new most eligible bachelor now George Clooney has been snapped up? It's been a tough year for the singles community as many good and good-looking comrades have been diagnosed with "Settling Down Syndrome". First Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie disappeared down the holy matrimony hole, then Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes retired to parenthood (reportedly) and now we mourn the loss of two of the most accomplished and attractive beacons of autonomy, George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin. Check out who's in the running here.

Anna Kendrick is the latest victim of the hacking scandal. Another day, another set of leaked images. This time Anna Kendrick, who recently joked about the possibility of being hacked, has been targeted. Kendrick is clothed in all 87 of the uploaded photos of her, although they appear to be private pictures of her partying, playing dress-ups and smoking. Read more here.

The Fault in Our Stars author John Green has issued a witheringly sardonic response to news that his book has been banned from middle schools in a Californian education district, apparently because it deals with issues of mortality and sex. Read what the author had to say here.

Australian fans of The Simpsons might need to enter lockdown until at least early next year if they don't want to find out which character was killed off at the start of the show's 26th season. Speculation has been rife about which character would meet their maker in the dramatic plot twist but, now all has been revealed, reaction on social media has mostly been one of disappointment. If you want a spoiler check it out here.

7.48: 

A Dubbo-based lawyer has sought to tackle public perceptions that courts in the region are “soft on crime”.

Stephen Lawrence said yesterday it was “simply not true” that courts in the region were lenient.

Speaking as an Orana Regional Law Society spokesman and principal legal officer of the Aboriginal Legal Service NSW/ACT in the western region, Mr Lawrence cited a number of factors that contributed to the perception of leniency.

He said sometimes it was because of incomplete reporting of criminal cases, sometimes it was because of ignorance of the process and at other times it was politicians.
