Yes, however she was reading it from a TMZ online breaking news article.

Thatâs also interesting, Heidi would both happen to be aware of and just happen to be checking out TMZ (although more likely a producer noticed TMZ being re-reported in feeds and passed onto her via PC/ear piece/window tap for her to read out).

Second story in Sydney and prominent in Brisbane
Less prominent on Seven, after the first ad break in Brisbane.

Probably couldâve put this in the tennis thread, but given all the posts are here, a nice touch from the US Open (the only major tennis account to post a tribute, bar multiple news articles on Matthew Perryâs love for the sport and growing up playing, becoming a junior star):

Very true. I grew up with Friends and I have a friend who is 12 years younger than me who discovered Friends through reruns. After hearing of Matthewâs passing she called me and said she and her two teenage daughters were all in tears. The 16 and 18 year olds are avid fans, so yes, the show is definitely multigenerational.

9Go! running Fools Rush In tonight (licenced by Sony), his first mainstream film in the late 90s alongside Salma Hayek (whoâd become a star after Desperado a couple of years before - also Antonio Banderasâ breakout), as Seinfeld was ending and Friends started growing rapidly. Arguably his second best/favourite feature to The Whole Nine Years.

TVNZ (or 2, canât remember which one) ran The Whole Nine Yards last night but the ad for it was a bit weird, like it was all happy and the ad theyâd have been playing for it at any time. I probably would have expected a bit of a different VO for it or tone if they were scheduling it after Perryâs passing.
