Kylie Jenner decided to channel the ‘energy’ of her older sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian for her launch party on Thursday night for her brand new product – Sprinter vodka soda.

The 26-year-old shared a photo of her sisters from the early 2000s, with voluminous hair and sultry outfits; she shared it on her Instagram stories and wrote “energy tonight.”

The mother-of-two posted her outfit – a fitted latex dress – to her Instagram grid – and wrote ‘swipe for the inspo’ – with the image as it appears at the end.

Kourtney Kardashian, 44, commented on the post saying, “We made the mood board!!”

The reality star channeled their look as she replicated the big hair and showed off her chest in her latest dress.

Fans went wild over the post when someone said: ‘Add this to my hair inspo board.’ Another jokingly asked: ‘Omg can I borrow this dress?’

Donatella Versace also got in on the action, calling Jenner’s look “perfect” in the comments.

This comes a day after she stepped out looking like a busty bombshell as she arrived at the launch party for her canned vodka soda brand Sprinter in Los Angeles.

She was supported by her mother Kris Jenner, 68, and her older half-sister Khloe Kardashian, 39, at the late-night party.

Earlier this month it was revealed that Kylie would be entering the alcoholic drinks market with Sprinter.

Kylie’s older sister Kendall, 28, already has a tequila line called 818 that debuted in 2021 and is doing well; a special was even made for the brand in the shape of an 8.

Sprinter is a 100-calorie canned vodka soda made with premium vodka, sparkling water and fruit juice.

It is available in four flavors: Black Cherry, Peach, Grapefruit and Lime.

The alcoholic soft drinks are expected to hit stores on March 21. Sprinter is sold in an 8-can pack for $19.99. It is 4.5% alcohol.

The brunette bombshell recently released a statement expressing herself via USA today why she chose to embark on her latest entrepreneurial project.

“Sprinter is my answer to growing consumer demand for quality canned cocktails,” she said.

Kylie went on to explain how she wanted to appeal to younger consumers with her new product line.

“Not only does Sprinter have unique, bold branding that captures the feeling of having fun with your friends, it’s also the best tasting vodka soda I’ve ever tried – and I’ve tried a lot,” she said.

Kylie’s party turned out to be a star-studded affair, with the likes of Sofia Vergara and Matt Bellamy in attendance to celebrate.

Vergara, 51, was joined by her hunky new boyfriend Justin Saliman.

She and the orthopedic surgeon started dating Magic Mike hunk Joe Manganiello, 47, months after her divorce.

The Modern Family star oozed elegance in a blue satin one-shoulder jumpsuit, silver chrome heels and a black jacket.

Matt Bellamy held his wife Elle Evan’s hand as they hung out outside Kylie’s late-night Sprinter party.

The Muse frontman, 45, wore a stylish all-black outfit on the night.

Elle, a model and actress, is currently expecting her second child with Matt.

Meghan Markle is likely to make six figures within weeks of officially launching American Riviera Orchard, a brand expert claims.

After the 42-year-old Duchess of Sussex’s explosive return to social media last night, where she opened the account for her lifestyle and cooking brand, royal fans have gone into panic mode.

And while little information has been released about what American Riviera Orchard has to offer, brand expert Hayley Knight says the anticipation for the products and content will serve the company well in the early months.

She added that it was “not coincidental” that the Duchess launched the brand on the same day her husband Prince Harry was due to appear via video message at the Diana Legacy Awards, teasing fans with a “glitter” of information , she built anticipation for what the brand has to offer.

Hayley also said it “makes sense” that the Duchess has decided to launch a lifestyle brand following the success of rival A-list brands such as Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop and Kourtney Kardashian’s Poosh, adding that the Duchess “wants to position herself among celebrity counterparts places’ .

Speaking to FEMAIL, Hayley said: ‘We have seen in the past that everything Meghan wears, promotes and sells out immediately, and there are websites dedicated to ‘What Meghan Wears’ demonstrating her brand power.”

She added that Meghan had “incredibly strong” instincts when it came to PR and marketing, and “wouldn’t have launched this if she didn’t think it would work.”

So far, little has been shared about what American Riviera Orchard will look like when it officially launches, but Hayley thinks it’s safe to assume it will target “the mid-to-upper market,” with Meghan’ leans on the brand and her personal style’. .

Hayley predicted: ‘I’m sure we can expect homely, yet stylish, unique, modern designs for the stylish and contemporary home, with undertones of spirituality and mindfulness.’

The branding expert admitted that it is difficult to say how much the Duchess will earn from the American Riviera Orchard as no products or prices have been released yet.

But she predicted: ‘Meghan will definitely see rapid success once the store launches. We have seen in previous celebrity launches that demand is incredibly high and the products sell quickly.”

She added that Meghan will likely start selling her “own range” of products that she claims she will use herself, which will be “a popular selling point.”

“I can’t imagine Meghan making less than six figures within the first few weeks of opening, if not in the first week of selling globally,” she said.

As for brand collaborations on social media, Hayley said Meghan is unlikely to make money through paid partnerships, as the Sussexes will likely only use social media to promote the brand, rather than returning to platforms with their own accounts.

However, she added, “There’s a chance she could do interviews, though, and IG lives with other people in the industry, and if they get paid opportunities, she could make over $1 million per post.”

American Riviera Orchard was launched on Instagram and via the new website on Thursday evening with a slick video for the brand, in which Meghan mixed batter in a bowl in her kitchen.

Another frame showed her picking plush roses from a posy.

Insiders told the Daily Mail that the company would become a “lifestyle and cooking brand” that would focus on things Meghan holds dear.

It’s fitting that the Duchess’s venture includes cooking and food, something she has shown a passion for in the past.

In 2018, while living in Britain as a working royal, Meghan bonded with Grenfell Tower fire survivors when she joined a community kitchen in the area and had no qualms about helping out preparing meals.

The Sussexes’ explosive Netflix series revealed that Meghan remains in touch with the community today, despite now living in California.

The Duchess has also previously contributed recipes to charity cookbooks, including a lemon tart in The World Central Kitchen Cookbook: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope, published last year.

Brand expert Emily Austen advised Meghan to ‘remove herself from the brand’.

“It should come as no surprise that Meghan Markle has jumped on the wellness brand bandwagon, despite her apparent aversion to neutral tones during her time in Britain,” she told FEMAIL.

“Meghan and Harry have encouraged a family story as a couple, and Meghan has delved into kitchen-based brand moments, such as her cookbook; Together. She famously woke up at 5am to practice yoga at Buckingham Palace, and wrote in The Tig (her former blog and lifestyle website) about taking Ashwaganda in the early days of her relationship with Harry to keep her calm.

‘The LA, clean living aesthetic has been thoroughly thought through by wellness titans like Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow and Poosh. Less than 24 hours after her new brand announcement, the dedicated Instagram page had just under 350,000 new followers, although there were no product teasers yet.

“Instagram is a hugely lucrative platform for celebrities, and it is widely predicted by brand experts that Meghan will find her way onto it. In the US in particular, the home goods category has exploded, especially since Covid. Baking, table decorating, flower arranging and other healthy household activities have dominated social media and become lucrative additions to high street stores such as Zara and H&M.

“Meghan is a divine character and public opinion lands differently depending on your geographical location. The success of her brand will likely depend on the positioning of the products and the price. The initial branding suggests that the price point for these products is trending towards the higher end. The market is incredibly competitive, with many brands taking ownership of specific categories, rather than the entire house. Success stories include Our Place, which recently collaborated with Selena Gomez. Markle can expect a lot of interest in her brand initially, but the reality of achieving long-term success will take considerably more than a press release and an Instagram sneak peak.

‘It is understood that Meghan will be selling her own products on the website, rather than other brands, but she can expect to see a lot of interest from brand collaborations and partnerships. This will come at a high cost, but will also dilute the purity of the message about its own brand. My advice, which I will give despite not being asked, would be to remove Meghan from the visual language and brand as much as possible.

“Whatever you think about her, she is incredibly divisive and not universally loved. It’s risky to integrate yourself so intrinsically with a brand, given the relationship it has with its audience.

‘I would also change the name; it’s hard to spell, long-winded and looks like a country club wedding invitation. Maybe she got the inspiration from sitting in the Rosewood in Montecito, which is also home to a permanent Goop store…

‘Celebrity is without a doubt a huge driver of short-term success; Kylie Cosmetics, Skims, Rhode by Hailey Bieber. However, it does not guarantee long-term success. Celebrities like these can make millions of pounds from posting on social media, and generate huge sales as a result of their cult status.

“For Meghan to make money on Instagram, she needs an engaged, interested audience, with purchasing power. A product that is really needed, powerful images and messages that actually connect with those who look at it, instead of an inauthentic attitude.

‘I wouldn’t expect a company like this to make a profit certainly in the first twelve months, but it is unclear at this stage whether there has been any external investment, who actually runs the company and what the launch plan is. e.g. D2C through to website.

‘A smart move would be to partner with the established people in this space, to ensure audience share and increase credibility. Whether or not others are up for this remains to be seen,” she added.

Khloe Kardashian’s face looked very different in a new photo shared to Instagram on Thursday morning.

The 39-year-old reality TV dynamo had her hair pulled back by a wide black headband that showed off her face while she wore gold hoop earrings.

But the mother-of-two’s face appeared distorted, probably due to the use of a powerful filter.

While most comments were very flattering, some said they thought her face looked different. One commented: ‘This is not your face.’ Another said: ‘I think she’s not Khloe, does anyone know who she is?’

Khloe has relied on filters to smooth out her face for years, and is often criticized for going overboard, as she is already stunningly beautiful without any help.

In 2021, the Kocktails With Khloe veteran shared on her Insta Stories that she used a lot of filters that sister Kourtney Kardashian told her about.

Alongside the final snippet, she wrote: “Mary God bless your filter. Don’t tell Kourt I learned something from her.”

Khloe admitted to using the filter – which improved lighting and slightly changed her appearance – after she was accused of editing all her photos for social media.

She came under fire for this when an unedited photo of her in a leopard print bikini leaked online. She looked pale and had skin abnormalities, which never appear on her page.

Although Khloe still looked naturally toned, slim and beautiful, she may have been shocked by the stark contrast to her heavily edited pin-up photos.

In this new image, Khloe also wears a low-cut black top with matching leggings as she sits on a cream couch with a pillow while a microphone holds her hands above her head.

Behind her stands a woman in a white top, while in the background a screen with Khloe’s image can be seen.

The caption reads: ‘Me and my Paxy PP.’ She may be working on the reality TV show for Hulu titled The Kardashians.

This comes after the side rinfluence on aging.

As she wished her best friends — twins Malika and Khadijah Haqq — a happy 41st birthday on Instagram, she shared some thoughts on “growing up” as she approaches the milestone that sisters Kourtney, 44, and Kim, 43, have already crossed.

‘Growing up is really a strange thing. When you’re younger, all you want to do is party, be outside, be seen, be in the mix. You have a lot of friends, but none of them really know who you are,” Kardashian began.

‘Then you get a little older and with each year that passes, you long for more simplicity. More peace. You long for friends you can count on one hand. You long to do ‘nothing’ with someone. The things that make you feel safe,” she added.

She also spoke to her friends Malika and Khadijah: ‘To the twins: You are my safe place. You are the ones I want to do everything and nothing with. You are the ones I have always been able to count on.

“Blessed to have had my safe place since we were young teenagers. Ever since I met you girls, we just clicked. We just understand each other. We became triplets and we never looked back.”

Kardashian then wrote, “Thank you for trusting me with everything you do. Thank you for holding my hand as we go through life.

“It has been a privilege and an honor to have had a friendship for so long and I cherish the years we spent together. Ohhhhhh the memories we have ♡ ohhhhhh the secrets that will die with the US lol.

“I know the magic that exists within your souls and I can’t wait to see you shine brighter every year. This is just the beginning!!” she continued.

“Some people come into our lives and make it better, you two make life better. Sweeter, more memorable.

“Thank you for never judging me when I made mistakes, for laughing until we cried, for crying until we laughed, for the sleepless nights of fun and for always being there. You both will always be my person, my ride or die, through thick and thin, until the end…..and there is no end to it!!” Kardashian concluded the lengthy message.

Kardashian is mom to daughter True, 5, and son Tatum, 19 months, with ex Tristan Thompson.

Kourtney Kardashian has had a great time supporting her rock star husband Travis Barker as he tours Australia with his band blink-182 this month.

Also in attendance were their newborn son Rocky Thirteen and two of her children with ex-partner Scott Disick: Penelope, 11, and Reign, 9.

On Thursday, the reality TV personality, 44, showed off the stunning rental property in the picturesque seaside town of Bondi Beach that she booked through Airnnb.

The Airbnb was located in the prestigious suburb of Bellevue Hill.

The modern masterpiece offers luxurious living with a seamless blend of contemporary design and timeless elegance.

Bondi Beach is a popular beach and the name of the surrounding suburb in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Bondi’s vast white sand crescent is one of Australia’s most iconic beaches.

Reliable waves attract surfers, while locals swim in the Icebergs’ ocean pool year-round.

Trendy, health-conscious Sydneysiders head to the casual cafes around Hall Street, while hip backpackers visit the area’s casual pubs.

Walkers and joggers use the cliff-top Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, with its dramatic scenery.

The couple have been spotted across Australia dining at Sydney’s Peace Harmony restaurant and vegan cafe Dicki’s.

They were also seen getting coffee in Brisbane, Queensland, where they stayed at a lavish hotel costing $1,800 a night.

Last week they were seen visiting hotspot Gelato Messina on Bondi Beach.

Breathtaking views of the harbor and Sydney skyline can be enjoyed from almost every room on the property, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, a landscaped terrace and an infinity pool.

Last week they went Down Under.

Her drummer husband, 48, has been having a blast with his pop-punk band blink-182.

She even went on to support Travis while watching his show in Sydney.

Kourtney took to Instagram on Tuesday to give insight into the family night out, revealing that her son Rocky, three months, also came backstage at the Qudos Bank Arena.

The doting mom — who welcomed Rocky, her first child with Travis, on Nov. 1 — flashed a big smile as she posed with her little one’s stroller backstage.

She showed off her laid-back sense of style in a casual oversized sports tee, worn as a dress to show off her toned legs.

Kourtney gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of black lace-up sneakers and pushed her raven locks back with a chunky headband.

She wore a concert lanyard around her neck as she got ready for her husband’s performance, and her children Penelope and Reign were joined by her children in the photos.

The two children were both seen photobombing her glamorous snaps and pushing their little brother Rocky’s stroller around as their mother laughed.

The reality TV star could also be seen gazing lovingly into the stroller in another adorable shot. Rocky wasn’t shown right away, as Kourtney often keeps him off social media.

Referring to the funny antics, Kourtney captioned the photos, “The chaos [love heart emoji].’

Kourtney remained in Sydney with her children while Travis and his bandmates Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus toured and performed in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne.

However, the family have now all flown to Brisbane together for Travis’ next set of shows and have been exploring the local sights over the past few days.

After staying in a $10,000-a-night, five-bedroom Sydney mansion, Kourtney and her family are now reportedly sleeping in a lavish Brisbane hotel, where suites can cost up to $1,800 a night.

Following the three shows in Brisbane, blink-182 will return to Sydney and Melbourne at the end of the month for newly added dates before heading to New Zealand.

Kourtney also shared a slideshow of photos from her AirBnB.

She captioned the images, which she shared on her Instagram on Friday, with: ‘Thank you @AirBnB for such a beautiful home to create memories that I will always remember and cherish. Making banana pancakes in the morning and playing uno forever in the evening!!’

The first image was a black and white photo of her and Travis walking away, with her son Reign also in the image.

The house had a spectacular view of the beach, as well as a beautiful pool.

The police officer who cops want to speak to following the grisly disappearance of his TV star ex and flight attendant partner was once a high-flying celebrity blogger who mixed with the likes of Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez.

Constable Beau Lamarre was seen last week following Kourtney Kardashian behind the wheel of a grey Tesla near Rose Bay, in Sydney’s east – and even managed to grab a snap with her and Travis Barker.

Mr Lamarre is now at the centre of an unfolding tragedy after his ex-boyfriend and former Channel Ten presenter Jesse Baird, 26, disappeared, along with Mr Baird’s Qantas flight attendant partner Luke Davies, 29.

The couple’s bloodstained clothes were found dumped in a skip on Wednesday and Mr Baird’s blood-splattered home 30km away in the upmarket Sydney suburb of Paddington has been declared a crime scene.

Police are looking to speak to any of the couple’s former partners and have not been able to track down Mr Lamarre, whose phone was switched off on Thursday night. 

It’s understood that Mr Lamarre, who deleted his Instagram account in recent days and is on sick leave, may be able to assist police with their inquiries. 

Relatives of Mr Baird say he and Mr Lamarre had a ‘bitter’ break up and one of missing couple told family that they thought they were being stalked in recent weeks.

It’s all a far cry from the police officer’s old life interviewing Hollywood elites on the Golden Globes red carpet, meeting Lady Gaga and flying first class.

The first of Mr Lamarre’s many brushes with fame came when he met Lady Gaga at a 2014 concert, and came out as gay that night through a note he threw on stage to her.

She read out the letter, revealing his sexuality, to her 15,000-strong audience and he was taken backstage by Lady Gaga after the show.

‘She came out for me,’ Mr Lamarre later said in a radio interview.

After enjoying his moment in the sun, the celeb chaser went onto take selfies with famous faces such as Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and Russell Crowe. 

But his ability to make headlines did not leave him when he joined the police, following in the footsteps of his mother was a senior officer. 

Just a year into the job, a video emerged of Mr Lamarre tasering a man during a dramatic arrest in Darlinghurst went viral. 

He was later cleared by an internal investigation of any wrongdoing.

Mr Baird and Mr Davies went missing from the TV producer’s $3million Federation terrace home in Paddington.

Mr Davies, 29, was with Mr Baird, 26, on Monday but the pair then vanished and Mr Davies’ family have been unable to contact him.

CCTV footage of the couple’s last known whereabout shows them entering Mr Baird’s home late on Monday night.

The men were captured wandering outside before heading towards the back of the terrace. A white van is then seen driving nearby. Neither of the pair have been seen since, however Mr Baird’s phone appeared to be active on WhatsApp on Tuesday evening.

A manhunt was launched after a pile of the couple’s bloodied clothes was found in a large skip bin in the centre of Cronulla in Sydney’s south at around 11am on Wednesday.

Police then raced to Mr Baird’s home in Paddington, where they found a ‘large amount of blood’ and bloodstained furniture.

‘Following inquiries, detectives are looking at a line of inquiry that a third person may be able to assist with the investigation,’ a police statement read on Thursday night.

‘Police are currently trying to locate him. Detectives will continue to look at all past relationships and associations.’

Neighbours near Mr Baird’s rented Paddington home heard an argument early on Monday morning but that wasn’t reported to police until they began canvassing the scene two days later.

Police say they’re not excluding any lines of inquiry, but they now hold grave fears for both men.

Mr Davies’ home in Waterloo in Sydney’s inner-south was also found to be empty.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal that the pair were partying in the Beresford club in Surry Hills on Sunday.

The club, which is just a ten-minute walk from Mr Baird’s flat and is known for its friendly LGBT scene, was hosting ‘two amazing shows by Sydney’s top drag divas, Minnie Cooper, Mynx Moscato and April Mae June’.

The event, which also involved international DJs, kickstarted Sydney’s ‘Mardi Gras party marathon’, the high point of Sydney’s LGBTQ calendar.

Just 48 hours later, both men would be the subject of a major police manhunt after their ‘suspicious disappearance’.

Detective Superintendent Jodi Radmore, Commander of Eastern Suburbs PAC, begged either of the men to make contact.

When asked if a third person could have been involved in the men’s disappearances, she said that the ‘primary line of inquiry’ was finding the missing men.

‘There has been some sort of incident which has more than likely happened at the Paddington address and that has given us grave concerns for one, possibly both,’ she said.

‘It’s very early stages in the investigation. We are still processing the Paddington address. All lines of enquiry are open.’

Credit cards, wallets, a mobile phone and a $8,000 watch were found among the bloodied clothes in the skip in Cronulla.

Three cars belonging to the men have also been seized. Their bank accounts haven’t been touched since the weekend.

But Mr Baird’s bloodstained home has sparked serious concern for their fate, she said, admitting there was sufficient blood to believe at least one had suffered a ‘significant injury’.

It was revealed on Thursday night that the AFL has been caught up in the men’s disappearance.

Mr Baird is also an AFL goal umpire who had been appointed to officiate a practice match between the Sydney Swans and Greater Western Sydney Giants game on Thursday.

The AFL confirmed that it contacted his family on Thursday after Mr Baird failed to show up to officiate the match.

Mr Davies last updated his social media five days ago with a series of photographs on Instagram of himself in the mountains around Vancouver in Canada.

Mr Davies grew up in Brisbane and recently moved to Sydney for work, according to friends.

Qantas flight attendant Maddison Bradley – Mr Davies’ best friend – said he was ‘dearly adored’.

‘I hope we find him. He is such a sweet soul!’ she told Daily Mail Australia.

On February 18, Mr Baird posted pictures of him and Mr Davies together at Pink’s concert in Sydney two weeks ago.

After three years with Studio 10, Mr Baird left his producer/presenter role with the show in January when it was axed by the network late last year.

He had previously worked as a producer/presenter with Ten’s Totally Wild! show for four years as well as a seven-month stint hosting Gamify! for the network in 2019.

On Thursday, Totally Wild’s Ranger Stacey Thompson said she was stunned.

‘I’m shocked actually,’ she told Daily Mail Australia. ‘I worked with Jesse for a few years and we sat across from one another in the TW office.

‘He was a lovely work friend, always professional and keen to learn. I prefer not to comment further at this time, until more details come to light.’

Mr Baird’s life of mixing with stars through his TV career was very familiar to Mr Lamarre’s previous life of interviewing celebrities and documenting his lavish lifestyle.

He was seen travelling either in first-class or on private jets donning luxury labels and carrying Louis Vuitton leather luggage.

In 2016 he made an unexpected appearance at the Golden Globes in Los Angeles.

He was pictured chatting to A-listers including Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in pre-show interviews on the red carpet.

Mr Lamarre has also been photographed with many other stars from the worlds of film, television and music. 

Now the people most desperate to find him, and Mr Baird and Mr Davies, are his fellow officers in the New South Wales police force. 

A police officer who once dated missing former Channel Ten presenter Jesse Baird  has emerged as a person of interest in the disappearance of Mr Baird and his Qantas flight attendant boyfriend Luke Davies.

The police are trying to find Constable Beau Lamarre, who is reportedly on sick leave, as part of their investigation into the disappearance of Mr Baird and Mr Davies.

The couple’s bloodstained clothes were found dumped in a skip and the TV star’s blood-splattered home 30km away in the upmarket Sydney suburb of Paddington has been declared a crime scene.

It’s understood that Constable Lamarre, who deleted his Instagram account on Sunday night, may be able to assist police with their inquiries. Police are looking to speak to any former partners of the missing pair.

Friends of Mr Baird have told police that he recently expressed concerns that he was being stalked by another man.

Constable Lamarre was once high-flying celebrity blogger who interviewed Hollywood heavyweights on the Golden Globes red carpet.

He recently told friends he was completing a VIP protection module with the cops.  The celebrity chaser was spotted following Kourtney Kardashian on February 15, behind the wheel of a grey Tesla near Rose Bay, in Sydney’s east.

In his previous career, he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga, but then he joined the NSW police force in 2019.

Just a year into the job, a video emerged of him tasering a man in the face during a dramatic arrest in Darlinghurst went viral. He was later cleared by an internal investigation of any wrongdoing,

Constable Lamarre’s mother is a former senior officer within the force. 

Mr Baird and Mr Davies are missing from the TV producer’s $3million Federation terrace home in Paddington in Sydney’s east.

Mr Davies, 29, was with Mr Baird, 26, on Monday but the pair then vanished and Mr Davies’ family have been unable to contact him.

It comes as police seized CCTV footage of the couple’s last known whereabouts on Monday night.

‘It’s very early stages in the investigation. We are still processing the Paddington address. All lines of enquiry are open.’

She said neighbours had heard some shouting coming from the rented Paddington terrace early on Monday morning, but that was only reported to police on Wednesday.

‘Witnesses reported a verbal argument but it wasn’t reported to police at the time … it was only when police were canvassing that they mentioned it,’ Det Superintendent Radmore said. 

Credit cards, wallets, a mobile phone and a $8,000 watch had been found among the bloodied clothes in the skip in Cronulla.

Three cars belonging to the men have also been seized. Their bank accounts haven’t been touched since the weekend.

Mr Baird was reported as being active online on Tuesday night.

Mr Davies last updated his social media five days ago with a series of photographs on Instagram of himself in the mountains around Vancouver in Canada.

Mr Davies grew up in Brisbane and recently moved to Sydney for work, according to friends. 

Qantas flight attendant Maddison Bradley – Mr Davies’ best friend – said he was ‘dearly adored’.

‘I hope we find him. He is such a sweet soul!’ she told Daily Mail Australia.

She added: ‘He is a fantastic person, so positive, bright and bubbly. We’ve been friends since 2017. 

‘We worked at Tigerair together and then he helped me get into Qantas.

‘He is an international flight attendant for Qantas and he is driven, humble and super intelligent.’

Friend Tomas Mian has known Mr Davies for ten years.

‘Luke has a lot of friends and is very fun social person. He is a kind and generous boy,’ he told news.com.au.

‘He seemed to love his new job. All of his Brisbane friends are in utter shock to only find this out today.’ 

Sophie Inez added: ‘I spoke to Luke just before he moved from Brisbane to Sydney with work a few months ago.’

‘He was so exited for his next chapter and flying long haul. He’s such a lovely and charismatic person.’

Other concerned friends took to Facebook to spread the word about the missing men.

I knew Luke back in my Brissy days and he recently moved to Sydney (Waterloo, but last seen in Paddington) for work. Please share this post and report any sightings or information, even if it seems insignificant,’ Anna Ghioni wrote.

On February 18, Mr Baird posted pictures of the pair together at Pink’s concert in Sydney two weeks ago.  

After three years with Studio 10, Mr Baird left his producer/presenter role with the show in January when it was axed by the network late last year.

‘He was a lovely work friend, always professional and keen to learn. I prefer not to comment further at this time, until more details come to light.’

Police have launched an intense investigation in the neighbourhood around Mr Baird’s home on Brown St, Paddington, with neighbours quizzed for any possible clues.

Forensic experts combed through the home overnight after the alarm was first raised around 1pm on Wednesday.

A local resident told Daily Mail Australia police had pulled furniture out of the house and onto the street on Wednesday night as they scoured the scene.

‘There were some bookshelf-type things and they were roped off,’ she said.

‘There weren’t any soft furnishings (beds or couches) and I don’t know what they were doing with them.’

Kourtney Kardashian has marked her father's 80th birthday with a sweet Instagram post.

Robert Kardashian, a lawyer who gained worldwide recognition in 1995 for serving on OJ Simpson's legal defense team, died of esophageal cancer in September 2003 at the age of 59.

Remembering her dad, Kourtney took to social media as she shared a selection of throwback snaps of her and her dad when she was a child.

She captioned the post: “My dad would have been 80 years old today. What I would give to sing him Happy Birthday and hear one of his funny jokes one last time.

“He had the best sense of humor and made life so much fun, like every car ride, every meal, watching movies (we had a movie date every Wednesday night and he showed me an old movie every week)… he made it all happen. so fun and special.

“Happy birthday to the best dad in the world.”

Robert was married to Kris Jenner from 1978 to 1991, and the couple share children Rob, 36, Kim, 43, Khloe, 39, and Kourtney, 44.

Sending her love Kris commented on the post with: 'The best daddy there ever was,' while Khloe also wrote: 'The best daddy in the world!!! Tomorrow is his birthday he is our angel'.

Kourtney also shared a photo of her and Rob on her Instagram Story from when she was a little older and her dad bought her a pair of classic '90s hammer pants.

She wrote: 'The 90s!!! these were my hammer pants that my dad bought me at the swap meet lol.

“My fit is going to be crazy with the matching socks, shirt and headband.”

Robert's death came four years before his family would achieve global fame on the show Keeping Up With The Kardashian, with Kim saying he would be proud.

After Robert and Kris' divorce in 1991, the lawyer married Jan Ashley in 1998, but the marriage ended in annulment 30 days later.

After three years of dating, the Los Angeles native married his third wife, Ellen Pierson (née Markowitz), six weeks before his death.

Not only had Robert been one of Simpson's lawyers during his highly publicized murder trial, he had also been his friend for years before the legal proceedings, which ended with an acquittal for the former football great.

Last November, Kim emotionally reflected on one of the last conversations she had with her father before his death.

The reality star who opened up about her parents' divorce in the interview GQsaid her father urged her to care for her siblings before he died of esophageal cancer — two months after he was diagnosed.

Robert told her, “I know you're doing well. It's almost like I can see ahead. I know you're doing well, but just take care of your brothers and sisters for me. Just make sure you take care of them.

Kim said, “I took what he said about things being fine in life. But it made me make decisions differently.”

Meanwhile, Kourtney added, “There are parts that are amazing and amazing and that I'm so grateful for, and parts that can be hard, like my fight with my sister, where it drags things out in an unrealistic way because of the nature of our show. .

“We have to watch the edit and then relive things and then relive it during the interview. My father really loved being close to our family, so I think those moments would make him cringe.”
