No hint of strife for Daniel and Natalie

It was a show of solidarity from one of rock'n'roll's most intriguing married couples.
Daniel Johns and Natalie Imbruglia have defied rumours their marriage is on the rocks by partying together in a Sydney bar.
Imbruglia, who lives in London, has returned home to spend time with her Newcastle-based husband ahead of his much-anticipated album release with Silverchair.
The couple spent Friday night on the town, including taking a water taxi ride from Rose Bay wharf to the inner-city bar and restaurant precinct at King Street Wharf. They spent hours partying at Cargo Bar. Looking stylishly matched, and very much together, the star singers, who married on New Year's Eve, 2003, were happy to mingle.
Imbruglia, whose sleek, short hairstyle is one of the hot fashion looks of the moment, wore a designer dress teamed with a pair of bright yellow wedges.
Johns had dressed up for his wife in a blue suit, but still managed to hold onto his "cool" by untucking part of his shirt.
There has been increasing speculation about the state of the marriage since Imbruglia was spotted dining in London with Little Britain star David Walliams, before attending a UK red carpet event with an unnamed male friend.
Imbruglia returned to Sydney a fortnight ago and has also been spotted shopping with Johns in a luxury Hermes boutique, before attending Silverchair's secret warm-up gig at the Gaelic Club in Surry Hills.
