‘When it comes to their sick son, Paul and Noelene are a united front and he’ll do anything to help’ It was the ugly divorce and affair scandal that rocked the ’80s, with Aussie icon Paul Hogan walking out on wife Noelene after three decades together for his much-younger Crocodile Dundee costar Linda Kozlowski. But with his relationship to Linda now over, it seems Paul and Noelene have turned to each other once again as they face one of the biggest battles of their lives. Sources close to the Hogan family tell New Idea that the couple – who first married in 1958 and share five children – have banded together to support one of their adult sons, who is thought to have suffered a stroke. Noelene, 76, reportedly now…

Jennifer Aniston has been dumped by husband Justin Theroux, just days after he spent a wild night with Aussie actress Naomi Watts. Sources close to Jen and Justin say the pressures of leading separate lives have finally taken their toll, with the couple rarely seeing each other in recent months and attending red-carpet events alone. But the final straw was seeing photos of Justin and newly single Naomi ‘all over each other’ during a recent night out, with onlookers revealing that the chemistry was ‘obvious’. The stars – who have a long history together, since filming the erotic thriller Mulholland Drive in 2001 – set tongues wagging at a recent fitness class launch in New York, as they spent time together in deep conversation. The shock photos of Justin and…

Heartbroken, overweight and lonely, Casey Donovan developed a disturbing addiction to online dating, fuelled by junk food binges. In the wake of her sham six-year relationship with a man who did not exist – in reality she was being cruelly duped – the Australian Idol winner sank into self-loathing. ‘She was looking for love in all the wrong places,’ a friend tells New Idea. ‘She went out and had sex with total strangers she found online. It was like she needed validation after that awful catfish experience. She needed to believe somebody found her attractive. ‘When the sex left her unsatisfied she turned to junk food, gorging on bulk McDonald’s. Her car was a tip!’ The story of Casey’s catfishing hoax was broken exclusively by New Idea back in 2014.…

There was one thing on Laura Gordon’s mind when she won the role of Linda Kozlowski – that famous Crocodile Dundee bathers scene! Linda stripped down to a black G-string bathing suit while playing her character, Sue Charlton. ‘She had so much gumption,’ Laura says. ‘I wasn’t brave, but I pretended to be brave.’ The yoga fanatic claims she has three things to thank for the scene going off without a hitch. ‘Bronzer, barre class and bravado,’ she laughs. Laura admits she’s honoured to portray an unseen side of Paul’s second wife. ‘She was really demonised in the press as a homewrecker,’ Laura explains. ‘But I think this really celebrates their love and their marriage and their story as just another relationship that happened after [Paul’s first wife] Noelene. ‘I…

From the cousins who tried to stop the car to the bystanders who administered first aid and the emergency services personnel who attended the scene, this is what Australia is all about.

Oprah Winfrey and Marie Osmond are battling it out over who’s the biggest loser... on the scales that is! With Oprah on Weight Watchers and Marie on Nutrisystem, the showbiz stalwarts are embroiled in a bitter feud over which program is best. Sources tell Globe Oprah, 63, riled up Marie, 57, by boasting that she can still enjoy a glass of wine. ‘To me, toasting a glass of wine, there’s a lot of sugar in that glass,’ Marie retorted, slamming the Weight Watchers program. And while a rep for Marie has dismissed rumours of a feud, close insiders insist otherwise. ‘They’ve had a frosty relationship for ages,’ spills the source. ‘Behind closed doors, Marie refers to Oprah as a phony with a huge ego to match her huge body.’ Ouch!…

Uh-oh! Pals are worried for The Big Bang Theory starlet Kaley Cuoco, after the actress went on an all-night bender ahead of the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Partying it up at the pre-SAG Awards party at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, the blonde beauty was spotted stumbling around and looking a bit worse for wear as the night wore on. ‘She was a mess! She was loud and people were looking at her,’ says an insider. With her boyfriend Karl Cook nowhere in sight, the source also tells New Idea the actress was instead ‘leaning on [co-star and ex-boyfriend] Johnny Galecki’. Unperturbed by her dishevelled state, Kaley said she was on a mission to let loose. ‘I’m not going to sleep. I’m just going to go the whole way,’ she…

‘It feels like a part of my life has been missing over the last 18 years’ They’re the gay couple who won the hearts of Australians after last week’s episode of Bride & Prejudice . Chris’ fractured relationship with his Jehovah’s Witness mother Yvonne and his straight-laced, conservative father Geoff shocked viewers after hearing their thoughts on their son’s homosexuality. Yvonne claimed: ‘I feel that my son has died,’ while Geoff revealed he didn’t hate his son, but was unsure if he loved him. Now, Chris exclusively opens up to New Idea about the hardship of growing up gay in his strict religious household. ‘I couldn’t compete with Jesus,’ says the 39-year-old. ‘I could sit here and argue, but it’s not going to get through. My mum’s…

1 STOP THINNING HAIR With age, hair growth slows – and the hair that does grow becomes sparse and fine. You can improve density with volumising products and minimising breakage by using styling tools on lower heat settings. Shorter styles with layers can make your hair look full and improve manageability. TRY: Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo and Conditioner (a), $19.95 each. Nioxin Thickening Spray (b), $38. 2 EMBRACE GREY Hair turns grey when the cells stop producing pigment due to age or stress. But why not embrace it? Highlights and lowlights offer dimension and guard against flatness. Lighter tones of champagne, ash, silver and a very pale blonde work well and create the illusion of full, healthy hair. Use light-reflecting hair products to maintain radiance and natural shine. TRY:…

Q I have been divorced for more than 10 years and I feel left behind. Many others I know who’ve divorced have found new relationships and they’re flourishing.

WHO WINS THE WAR? Q My husband and my bestie have never really got along, but in the last year it’s really intensified. He thinks she’s loud and selfish, and avoids being home when I invite her over, while she’s dismissive and thinks he isn’t good enough for me. They’re the people I love the most and I don’t understand the animosity. Aimee, Boronia Heights, Qld. A This is disgraceful behaviour – your husband and your best friend should hang their heads in shame, carrying on like a couple of naughty schoolchildren. The two people you love most are not considering your feelings, and are being selfish and hurtful. Demand that they come to a civilised truce – there’s no need for them to be best buddies, just cordial. YOU’VE…

After admitting their first time down the aisle was way over the top, David Beckham has revealed he and wife Victoria have since renewed their vows in a very low-key ceremony. ‘It was a lot more private,’ he reveals of the hush-hush event. ‘There [were] about six people there in our house.’ Despite reports the couple’s 17-year marriage is on shaky ground, David says he and Victoria always pull through. ‘Of course you make mistakes,’ he says. ‘And we all know that marriage is difficult at times.

As photos of Meghan Markle’s recent bachelorette party emerge, the Queen can breathe a sigh of relief... Prince Harry’s future bride toed the royal line, opting for tasteful over trashy. Having recently planned a celebration for her friend Lindsay Roth, Meghan has revealed a traditional hens party simply isn’t her style. ‘The thought of running around a city trying to get into clubs and wearing headbands of the phallic persuasion didn’t seem very “on brand” for us, I opted instead to woo the bride to be with a more low-key stagette,’ the 35-year-old wrote on her blog The Tig, of the occasion. With the stereotypical strippers, shots and nightclub shenanigans taken off the table, the Suits actress instead planned an indulgent weekend on the Greek island of Hydra. ‘There is…

They’re the bubbly blonde twins causing controversy with their double wedding on this season of Married At First Sight, but it was almost only one sister walking down the aisle. Michelle and Sharon Marsh, 31, were both introduced to The Bachelor love rat Blake Garvey at a charity event in August, and with a shared love for the Perth social scene, they soon hit it off. ‘They all got along but there was a definite spark between Blake and Michelle,’ says our source. ‘They were giggling away and chatted like they had known each other for years.’ Both newly single, with Blake having recently announced his split from Louise Pillidge, the pair were keen to get to know each other better.

Q I had a dream that snakes were following me. They were vivid green and yellow, and one was pregnant. A couple tried to bite me, but mostly, they were friendly. I stopped the ones that tried to bite me by squeezing them at the point where their upper and lower jaws met. They calmed down and slithered beside me. I kept waking, then falling back into the dream. Susie, via email. A Snakes represent different things, depending on how they behave. The colours of the snakes are also relevant – green and yellow are positive colours representing growth, intellect and fertility, so, it’s no surprise one of the snakes was pregnant. The overall aspects of the dream suggest there will be a positive outcome to any obstacles you’re currently…

DI... WHY?! My MM husband wanted to run a temporary TV cable from one bedroom to another. He devised a plan to run the cable through a wall between built-in wardrobes that he thought backed onto each other. Next day, I stopped him as he was about to drill through the wall. Although we’ve lived in the house 24 years, he’d completely forgotten about the bathroom separating the two rooms! Glenda Cass, Rosebud, Vic.
