Halle Berry displayed her teensy baby bump when she attended a film premiere in Buenos Aires, while Aussie beauty Miranda Kerr held the hand of her bub Flynn on a walk in Beverly Hills. Nicole Richie and Jessica Alba flaunted their fabulous figures while on a girls' trip to St. Barts, and Charlize Theron and Seth MacFarlane set tongues wagging when they left a restaurant together.

Asher, Hamish, Steve and More Celebrate Success at 2013 Logies

Crown Palladium in Melbourne played host to Australia’s most popular TV stars for the 2013 Logie Awards last night.

Crown Palladium in Melbourne played host to Australia’s most popular TV stars for the 2013 Logie Awards last night. The show didn’t have an official host but Gold Logie nominees Hamish Blake and Andy Lee kicked off the proceedings by entering the stage on red mobile spinning chairs á la The Voice (a nod to the series’ season two premiere on the same night) after an energetic opening performance from Bruno Mars, the first of many international guests to perform during the show.

Over the next few hours awards were handed out in the popular (public-voted) and outstanding (peer-voted) categories, with Asher Keddie, Steve Peacocke and drama series House Husbands among the first winners. Joel Madden took home his first Logie for most popular new male talent and made fun of the fact that he’s been in the entertainment industry for a long time. Puberty Blues star Brenna Harding was overwhelmed when she won most popular new female talent and gave an emotional speech, while another touching moment was when Deborah Mailman won most outstanding actress for her role as Benita Mabo in Mabo — during her speech she brought the real Benita Mabo to the stage, and it was a double celebration as it was also Benita’s birthday. Channel Nine newsreader Brian Henderson was inducted into the Logie Awards Hall of Fame and brought his intelligence, humour and signature sign-off to the show. There was also a special tribute to Peter Harvey, who passed away last month.

Performances from Michael Bublé, Birdy and Olly Murs were scattered throughout the broadcast — some people on social media aired their disappointment at the lack of Australian performers on Aussie TV’s night of nights — before it came to the big one: the Gold Logie. Bert Newton presented the Gold Logie to a “discombobulated” (her word) Asher Keddie at the end of the night and during his time on stage he made jokes about his long career, Network Ten and even his sex life. Asher admitted, “I’m not sure what it means to me,” about winning the Gold Logie, but went on to thank fans for their support as well as the people who have helped her throughout her career.

Asher Keddie Wins the 2013 Gold Logie!

Asher Keddie has won the 2013 Gold Logie, making her the most popular personality on Australian television.

Asher Keddie has won the 2013 Gold Logie, making her the most popular personality on Australian television. This year she beat Adam Hills, Carrie Bickmore, Hamish Blake, Andy Lee and Steve Peacocke for the top prize. Asher is one of the country’s most beloved actresses thanks to her role as obstetrician Nina Proudman on Network Ten’s Offspring; this is her first Gold Logie after three consecutive nominations.

During her acceptance speech, Asher, who had already won earlier in the night for most popular actress, said, “I’m not quite sure what to say. I’m very overwhelmed and very moved . . . I’m not sure what it means to me, but I think what it really does mean is that it’s such a wonderful opportunity to say, ‘Thank you,’ to the audience who has watched me play a number of character over the years — I think this is about a body of work — and it’s my opportunity to say, ‘Thank you,’ for being so supportive even when the characters I’ve played have not always been entirely likeable.” She thanked the “wonderful, talented and brilliantly creative” people she gets to work with, and friends and mentors who have helped her throughout her whole career.

For the second year in a row, the winner of the Gold Logie was leaked even before the award had been announced in the room. The journalist who wrote The Australian story blamed it on a production error.

Congrats to Asher!

2013 Logies: Asher Keddie

 Asher Keddie opted for a sleek, sophisticated vibe for her 2013 Logies look, choosing this pintucked black gown by Yeojin Bae.

 Asher Keddie opted for a sleek, sophisticated vibe for her 2013 Logies look, choosing this pintucked black gown by Yeojin Bae. It's a far cry from the neon-flecked, über detailed J'Aton Couture number from last year, and we couldn't help but compare it to the scarlet version as worn by Jessica Mauboy back in August of last year. Asher kept her accessories classic with a pair of diamond studs, simple peep-toe pumps and a diamond-encrusted wrist wrap. So, what's you call on her streamlined look?

Who Will Win the 2013 Gold Logie?

Tonight the Logie Awards are taking place, and by the end of the night we'll know who the most popular personality on TV is when the Gold Logie winner is announced.

Tonight the Logie Awards are taking place, and by the end of the night we'll know who the most popular personality on TV is when the Gold Logie winner is announced. This year's six contenders include four stars from last year's line-up and two newcomers. Returning for the second year in a row are TV presenters Adam Hills and Carrie Bickmore, actress Asher Keddie, and all-round funny guy Hamish Blake, who won in 2012. Hamish's partner in crime Andy Lee joins him in the race for the Gold Logie this year (no Karl Stefanovic this time) while Home and Away heartthrob Steve Peacocke is also in the running (last year his former co-star Esther Anderson was nominated).

Things to consider: will pitting Hamish and Andy against each other split their fans? Can Steve win it given the popularity of his show and his dedicated fan base? Or will one of the veterans of TV be rewarded for their consistent service to the Australian TV industry? Tell us below who you think has the best chance of winning.
