Rebel Wilson seems to be in good spirits as she’s spotted walking out of the Court of Appeal on Thursday morning (April 19) in Melbourne, Australia.
The 38-year-old Pitch Perfect star sat through day two hearings as the publisher of Woman’s Day challenged supreme court of Victoria orders it must pay her $3.6 million (or $4.5 million in Australian dollars) in damages for defamation through articles that claimed she lied about her age, the origin of her first name and her upbringing in Sydney.

The judgment made history as the “largest defamation damages award” of all time in Australia, according to Rebel‘s lawyers back in June of last year.
Bauer Media’s, which publishes Australian magazines Woman’s Day, barrister Michael Wheelahan QC had argued the level of damages was “manifestly excessive” and said Justice John Dixon made an error ordering Rebel be compensated for losing film roles.
On Thursday (April 19), Queen Elizabeth asked the Commonwealth Heads of Government to officially appoint Prince Charles as her official successor.
The meeting of the Heads of Government are expected to meet this week to talk about who they believe should take over. Of course, Prince Charles is expected to become the next successor, as he’s also the natural heir and it’s widely accepted as a foregone conclusion.
“It is my sincere wish that the Commonwealth will continue to offer stability and continuity for future generations and will decide that one day the Prince of Wales [aka Prince Charles] should carry on the important work started by my father in 1949,” the Queen, 91, said at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, held in London, England at Buckingham Palace.
“By continuing to treasure and reinvigorate our associations and activities, I believe we will secure a safer, more prosperous and sustainable world for those who follow us: a world where the Commonwealth’s generosity of spirit can bring its gentle touch of healing and hope to all,” The Queen added.
This is the first time the Queen has come forward with such a strong statement that Prince Charles take over when the time comes.
