HUNT FINED
Update: Karmichael Hunt's copped more punishment from the Reds and the ARU, after pleading guilty to cocaine possession today...

He'll have to cough up a $30k fine and cop a 6-week ban from playing for the Reds. He'll return in Round 8.

Hunt has also stood down as Vice Captain of the Reds.

Earlier:

Reds vice-captain Karmichael Hunt has been fined $2500 and had no conviction recorded, after pleading guilty to cocaine possession.

The court heard he bought a total of 12.5 grams of cocaine on four occasions between September 1 and October 3 last year.

Hunt's lawyer described it as a "misguided post-season celebration" and said he was taking ownership of his problems by pleading guilty.

Hunt had some high-profile support, with Broncos coach Wayne Bennett writing a reference letter which was read out during sentencing. In it Bennett wrote "one of Hunt's best features is that he's willing to own his problems and not blame others."
Meanwhile Beau Falloon and Jamie Dowling, two of the Gold Coast Titans caught up in the same bust, had their cases heard this morning. They'll be back in court on May 8.

MICHELLE BRIDGES MAKES MEGA RICH LIST
After International Women's Day on the weekend, a list of the Richest Women is out from BRW and it features some prominent names.

When it comes to self made mega millionaires Michelle Bridges has made her debut on the list at 29, thanks to a $53 million (yep, you read that right) empire.

Michelle Bridges: worth $53million. Pic: Getty

Number one spot was taken by Vicky Teoh, who created the internet company TPG with her hubby - she's worth a whopping $938 million.

Nicole Kidman's got a sweet $331 million to her name, while Kylie Minogue, Elle Macpherson and Cate Blanchett are also on the self made millionaire's list.

Overall Gina Rinehart is Australia's richest person (worth $20 billion) but she's not classed as self made, given the fortunes of her late father Lang Hancock.

PRIVATE HEALTH COVER- ONLY GOING UP :(
If you think your private health cover is getting super expensive - it's about to become even worse.

Recently, private health funds were given permission to raise premiums by the Federal Government from April 1 for the second consecutive year. The average price increase will be 6.18%. For an average policy holder, that means an additional $300 a year.

A survey from One Big Switch has found more than 50% of people are thinking about reducing their level of cover. Two thirds say they've had trouble making payments. Others have reported swapping out things like heart or eye treatments.

Some people may consider ditching private health cover altogether, but there's a catch. If you ever want to restart Private Health, there's a 2% loading if you haven't had Private Health Cover before the age of 30 under the Federal Government's Lifetime Health Cover rules.

TO SHOWER OR NOT TO SHOWER?
Ever skip your shower for the day? Feel a bit guilty about it?

Perhaps it's time to ditch the shower shame, because experts think a daily spray in the bathroom might not be necessary.

A survey from SCA (Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget - a global hygiene products company) has found 90% of women and 80% of men bathe or shower at least once daily.

Energy Australia Stats show 29% of Aussies take at least one shower a day, while 9% have three showers.

Dermatologists say that's not always a good thing though. Hot water can dry out the skin, causing itching and other irritations.

Some also recommend using soap free washes, while a few think tepid water is enough to wash off that stench.

Showers-optional. Source: Getty

"BLURRED LINES" CREATORS: JURY SAYS THEY COPIED!
Big news in the music world, with a jury finding Robin Thicke and Pharrell DID copy a Marvin Gaye track from the 1970s with their smash hit Blurred Lines.

Gaye's adult kids took them to court, claiming large chunks of the song were similar to the 1977 track Got To Give It Up.

The jury's awarded them $7.3 million in damages, after listening to song comparisons for nearly a week.

What do you think? Have a listen below:
