Lincoln Lewis has revealed that he once thought he'd ruined his acting career. The 24-year-old Australian star, who used to play Geoff Campbell in Home and Away, said that he felt "stupid" after being at the centre of a sex tape scandal in 2009 when he filmed an intimate act with a teenage fan and showed it on his mobile phone. After the incident, Lewis received counselling from the Seven Network and decided to work his way out of the scandal. He told National Features: "A few years ago, I thought I'd never work again.

Sitting in the cinema about six months ago I saw a trailer that took me by surprise. It showed a group of teenagers witnessing the invasion of their hometown making me immediately think, this must be the forthcoming remake of John Milius’s 1984 cold war thriller, Red Dawn. With that in mind I looked out for stars Chris Hemsworth and Adrianne Palicki but instead, the cast seemed to be mostly alumni from popular Aussie soaps Neighbours and Home & Away. Then the title hit the screen, Tomorrow When The War Began, not the most memorable or grammatically correct title but it left me intrigued.

Acting editor of Zoo, the lads' magazine hit by Danny Dyer furore, steps up to head the title
Lads' magazine Zoo has promoted Damien McSorley, who has been acting editor since the furore over Danny Dyer's column which advised a heartbroken boyfriend to "cut his ex's face", to the role of editor.
McSorley, who joined Zoo as deputy editor from rival Nuts in November 2008, will replace editor Tom Etherington, who has held the role since August last year when he transferred from Zoo Australia.
Etherington's departure is not thought to be directly linked to the Dyer incident, which resulted in accusations of misquoting and threats of legal action, although McSorley was promoted to acting editor within a month of the event. Dyer's column was scrapped.
"Damien has been acting editor of Zoo for three months, during which time he has led the team with great skill and energy, driving...
