Former Black Caps captain Martin Crowe is selling a three-bedroom 1.7ha lifestyle property in Kaipara privately on Trade Me, and says "it's a must-sell situation".

Speaking to The Diary yesterday, Crowe, who is heading into his second round of intensive treatment for lymphoma cancer, said he was resting but had put the property up for sale and would take personal tours through.

Crowe, a cricket coach and mentor for Saint Kentigern College, is looking at inquiries over $850,000.

"After a full maintenance of the property and increase in price a month ago, circumstances have changed quickly," Crowe wrote in the Trade Me ad.

The cedar clad one-level house with expansive views of "place to unwind" Takahoa Bay has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Features include an open fireplace, a Japanese bath and north-facing rooms for sun and expansive views.

A boat shed, boules court, orchard and vege garden are also included on the property.

Eat your heart out George Clooney

Opening a runway show is a coup for any model, but when the show is John Paul Gaultier's last ready-to-wear collection at Paris Fashion Week, and the New York Times calls it "such a major fashion moment it overshadowed George Clooney's wedding", you've made it.

Kiwi model Anmari Botha, 21, was chosen to open the show this week at the Grand Rex in Paris by fashion's foremost enfant terrible. "I was honoured to open the last RTW show of John Paul Gaultier," she said.

Born in South Africa but raised in New Zealand, the young Kiwi who now calls New York home is repped by Red 11 and IMG. She strutted the catwalk with top models Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls and Coco Rocha.

Cunliffe's blitz falls flat ... but there's a job hint

No man is an island - except maybe David Cunliffe. The former-Labour-leader-aspiring-to-be-the-future-Labour-leader went on a one-man media blitz on Monday. While the rest of the caucus (apart from self-regarded motormouth Trevor Mallard) was gagged, Cunliffe went on the PR offensive. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

But celebrity sanction is lacking.

Top leader contender Grant Robertson earned an endorsement of sorts from fellow Wellingtonian Taika Waititi. The film-maker tweeted Robertson tongue firmly in cheek: "I don't want to coach you too much in comebacks but you should probably now offer Cunliffe the Minister of Farts position."

Bridesmaid's NZ dress

While bride Amal Alamuddin is believed to have worn Oscar de la Renta as she said "I do" to George Clooney in Venice, her bridesmaid, Aussie lawyer Jennifer Robinson, chose Kiwi designer Johanna Johnson.

Robinson, one of four "confidantes of the bride", wore a custom-made, hand-beaded black gown by Johnson for the wedding ceremony at the Aman hotel. She arrived via water taxi accompanied by American actor and comedian Bill Murray.

Robinson and Alamuddin, both human rights lawyers, defended Julian Assange.

Blenheim-raised Johnson, who lives in Sydney, is a fashion fave for the A-list and royalty, including Princess Charlene of Monaco, Christina Hendricks and Kendall Jenner. Johnson made four outfits for Robinson for the weekend wedding events.

The New Zealand photo rights for the Clooney nuptials have been bought by a women's magazine. Bauer Media, People, Hello! and US Vogue all have deals for exclusive rights. Sydney's Daily Telegraph reported Bauer sent a legal warning to other publishers not to use official pics from the wedding after they paid a hefty sum for Australasian rights.

Laila has new job, but Kim's a mystery

Laila Harre admits to a "new day job leafleting" for an Italian restaurant in Mt Eden, but where is Kim Dotcom? Unlike Harre, the Internet Party founder has been unusually silent on social media since their election extinction. Too quiet. The Diary's calls remain unanswered.

Will he attend the opening of a gallery exhibition on Saturday in his honour? The Personal Effects of Kim Dotcom at Wellington's Adam Art Gallery by artist Simon Denny recreates the inventory of confiscated items taken by cops during the Dotcom mansion raid in 2012.

Denny, who'll represent New Zealand at the Venice Biennale next year, reimagines Dotcom's material belongings in an attempt to rethink his role on our media landscape and pose questions about the status of information, property rights and privacy. It's less moment of deflated truth and more picture of principle, apparently.
