Sydney - The controversy over a photographer who specializes in nude shots of children created a rift in the cozy relationship between Hollywood actor Cate Blanchett and new Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd Tuesday.
Blanchett, who campaigned for Rudd's Labor Party in last year's election and burnished his image by co-chairing a people's summit in Canberra's Parliament House last month, joined fellow local artists in defending beleaguered photographer Bill Hensen and attacking Rudd for calling the portraits of naked children aged 12 and 13 "absolutely revolting."
Sydney - eOscar-winning Australian actor Cate Blanchett and her playwright husband Andrew Upton have named their new son Ignatius Martin Upton, a spokesman for the couple said Monday.
"They have a healthy baby boy - Ignatius Martin Upton. All are well and happy," the Sydney Theatre Company (STC) spokesman said.
STC is Australia's de facto national theatre and Blanchett and Upton are its artistic co-directors.
Ignatius, who was born on Sunday, is a brother to Dashiell, 6, and Roman, 3.
