Ian Thorpe gives cute granny the cold shoulder
She’s won a hoard of fans for her straight-talking YouTube videos, which her son promotes on her hugely popular Facebook page.
But Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe wasn’t very impressed when 78-year-old Nonna Paola tried to approach him on the Logies red carpet in Melbourne on Sunday for a quick chin wag.
Reporting from the event on behalf of KIIS FM’s Matt Tilley and Jane Hall, the quick-witted grandma held her own against everyone from Dannii Minogue – who she scolded for having tattoos – to Eurovision heavyweight Conchita Wurst.
However when the Italian-born Melbourne-convert chatted to Thorpey, his response was far from enthusiastic.“A swimmer! You’re the best, you’re awesome,†Nonna Paola beamed.
“Thank you… Ok, thank you,†Ian, 32, stuttered.

Diving World Series invader crashes 10m platform final in London
An intruder made an unwelcome splash when he invaded the final of the men’s 10m platform final, won by Tom Daley at the Diving World Series.
The young man evaded security staff to make a dash for the diving boards at the London Acquatics Centre on Sunday night.
He pulled off his tracksuit to strip to Speedos as he rushed up the stairs, closely followed by the guard.
But he could not be stopped and jumped into the pool – to boos from the crowd.
