Days after Sam Cochrane and Tara Pavlovic announced their split last week, Sam’s mum, Rosie Wynter has weighed in with her own feelings about the high-profile relationship. Posting as @aroseinwinter17 below her son’s statement confirming the break-up she seemed to cryptically challenge a poster’s defence of Tara, writing, ‘You cannot imagine the story behind it and I opened my heart and home. I can’t say anymore... please understand. There is so much to it.’ She added in later comments, ‘I have taken the high road more than any could understand,’ and ‘I wish all parties peace but obviously my heart lies with my son’. Two days earlier Rosie had posted a message of love and forgiveness on her own Instagram page, tagging in her son and writing, ‘Life and people…

Still feeling the public pressure after his embarrassing performance at the Logies last week, TV veteran Bert Newton is now facing wife Patti’s wrath on the home front. A source close to the family has told New Idea the showbiz legend’s wife is ‘in shock’ after her husband made a series of toe-curling jokes while on stage at the TV awards. And in surprising new pictures, it appears the couple had a very public showdown, prompting questions about the state of their relationship. ‘Patti definitely seemed annoyed about something and we couldn’t believe when they launched into an argument. Patti really let Bert have it. People seemed pretty shocked,’ reveals a bystander. Trying hard to keep a professional smile on her face, Patti then went outside to take a call.…

When Charlene Gibbard’s husband popped into the supermarket to pick up some last-minute groceries, the doting mum waited in the car with sleeping baby Eila, two. But it was a decision that had a catastrophic impact on the usually happy-go-lucky mum-of-three – as moments later a knife-wielding stranger burst into her car and ordered her ‘not to say a word’. The terrified 31-year-old had no idea what the man wanted, but one thing was clear – she wasn’t going to let anyone harm her precious baby. Channelling the tiger mum inside her, Charlene fought back, lashing out at the assailant until he fell back out of the car, giving her just enough time to wrestle the sleepy tot from her car seat and flee to safety. Earlier this month, Ashley…

It’s the online video game that’s taken the world by storm, but should you worry your kids are effectively standing on a rooftop gunning down as many people as they can? While it has a child-friendly gloss and kids are encouraged to personalise their characters, Fortnite is addictive with kids begging to spend more time playing and some staying up late to compete with players in different time zones. While some experts are concerned about the violent nature of the game, psychologist Emma Kenny says it also can also teach skills, including strategic thinking, forward planning and creative approaches to combat. She pointed out that kids work together to save their teammates. The key, she said, was creating boundaries so that children spent allocated rather than…

samual.cochrane This message goes out to all the beautiful people who shared with me such an amazing journey. The fairytale that I took part in was deep and surreal. My proposal was meant to be forever but life sometimes takes you away from the dream and you wake up. So...deep breath.... this has come to an end. I loved Tara with my whole heap and those two people in Fiji fell completely. It's hard writing this thinking back to those moments. Your joy in our story and the engagement meant so much and I can assure you it is the saddest thing for me to come to terms with.

The upcoming christening of Prince Louis should be a time of joy for his mother Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, yet palace insiders say with the Queen’s funeral practice run taking priority along with security fears, it’s been a very stressful time for Kate.

They may be young, active and love to enjoy everything from wakeboarding to speed-racing, but tradie brothers Josh and Brandon from Queensland reveal to New Idea they have spent their childhoods in and out of hospital. With an onslaught of shocking accidents, the brothers were left with a series of broken bones and were covered in scars. ‘At one point in our lives when we were in school, we were in and out of hospital non-stop. We were there at least once a month,’ Josh reveals.

Olivia Vivian and Ben Polson may not have made it up Mount Midoriyama last year, but they did win at romance.

As a busy working mum-of-two, Jessica Rowe was trying to do the best she could. But every time she looked at Instagram, there were thousands of mothers apparently doing it better. ‘A friend pointed out to me all the lunch box images and I couldn’t believe all the little pirate sandwiches and perfectly constructed meals,’ she recalls. So, the former host of Studio 10 decided to post pictures of what she fed her family – including burnt toast, basic spaghetti bolognaise and simple sausages. She’d hashtag the posts #craphousewife because, as she says, she’s ‘a terrible cook’. The real images and funny captions struck a chord – Jessica now has 84,000 followers. Since leaving Studio 10, she now has more time to spend with her daughters, Allegra, 11, and Giselle,…

Q Eighteen months ago I moved back to the rural area where I studied pottery with my aunt as a child. Since I have returned, I’ve had that old itch to work with clay, but given I have a job and a family – both of which I love dearly, I think I would be spreading myself too thin if I were to throw myself back into pottery. However, recently I’ve had dreams in which I’m trying really hard to wedge a lumpy bit of clay... I will think it needs some water and then suddenly the clay gets really mushy and when I wake up the feeling of wanting to get that lump of clay smooth is really strong. I’d love to know what you think. Junine, via email.…

REMEMBERING I was discussing last week’s events with my eight-year-old granddaughter. Neither of us could remember exactly what happened. She looked at me and said: ‘Well if I can’t remember, you never will.’ Sadly, she is absolutely correct! DIANNE BLANCHARD, WATTLE GROVE, WA. CAT-ASTROPHE The other day my four-year-old daughter, for some reason, had decided she wanted a kitten and had started pestering me for one. I tried to explain that we couldn’t have one as I was allergic to them, just like she was allergic to strawberries, and they bring me out in a rash. ‘Eww yuck!’ she exclaimed horrified. ‘You’re not supposed to eat them mummy!!’ M. RANSLEY, PELHAM, TAS. HAIRY MOMENT My friend, who is a teacher, asked the children to share their news with the class.…

Q I am needing some advice on strained family relationships. My brother said we would help each other out and if I would like to go and visit our mother he would look after my dog for a weekend once a month. He also said he would assist with transportation to a vet clinic, as I am without a vehicle. Unfortunately he did not keep his word. I have asked several times if the offer still stands and there’s been no response. AMY, VIA EMAIL. A Your brother obviously has changed his mind. Rude of him not to even respond to your requests. There are pet minders out there – some people will stay at your house while you are away and look after your dog. Others will come by…

He may have won Gold at the Logies but Grant Denyer is making headlines once again for all the wrong reasons. While things finally seem to be turning around for Grant, the host has already encountered controversy since his Gold Logie win, with TV insiders claiming the star had some choice words to say off-stage at the star-studded event. ‘He must have assumed no one could hear him, but it was crystal clear,’ a source reveals to New Idea. ‘His comments were pretty inappropriate - and people were visibly shocked.’ The popular Family Feud host also made another shocking confession last week. Grant revealed he’d suffered crippling painkiller addiction and a battle with depression that saw him hit rock bottom just five years ago. While chatting to The Daily Telegraph…

Dressed in a stunning Steven Khalil number, Keddie, 43, stubbed out any pregnancy rumours, saying: ‘Nothing to report! I don’t know... that’s too private, don’t know. I’m going to talk to my husband about that before I talk to anyone else about it.’…

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry were caught having what appears to be their first public clash when the young prince refused to take his new wife’s hand at the Young Leaders Reception.

Insiders point out that the Duke of Sussex may simply have been avoiding breaking royal protocol by showing affection in his grandmother’s presence.…

SHERIDAN With two failed marriages, Sheridan won’t be walking down the aisle right away, but she is keen to find love. ‘I am a true romantic at heart,’ the 41-year-old says. The social media strategist shares two kids with her first husband. Sadly, her second marriage didn’t end quite as amicably. SUNNIE Sunnie was only 20 when she married her first husband. Since her marriage fell apart, Sunnie, 30, has been looking for Mr Right. The self-proclaimed ‘Indian Aussie bogan’ says her cultural background has made it difficult to find love again. ‘Dating is not something that is looked well upon,’ she says. ‘But I’m a romantic at heart.’ EMMA Despite her failed four-year marriage, Emma hasn’t given up on finding The One. Since her divorce, the 28-year-old has been…

Usually the first thing you notice when you come face-to-face with Penny McNamee is her mega-watt smile. Always bubbly, even a sleepless night up with her three-year-old son Jack followed by a 12-hour day of filming won’t wipe the smile from the Home And Away actress’ face. However this time, when New Idea sits down with Penny, she’s not smiling – in fact, she’s angry. For more than 20 years, Penny has been harbouring a secret that has left her, at times, crippled – while also making it extremely difficult to give Jack a younger brother or sister. ‘In January I was diagnosed with endometriosis,’ the 35-year-old star reveals. Despite affecting 1 in 10 Australian women, little is known about what causes endometriosis and the only way to diagnose the…

Hilarious Gogglebox star Tom is the first to acknowledge he’s never at a loss for words. So it came as quite a shock to him to be rendered utterly speechless when he walked into his surprise 50th birthday bash – orchestrated, of course, by the man he loves, Wayne. ‘I had absolutely no idea,’ says Tom. ‘Wayne said we had to go off to see some friends and then this limousine turned up. I actually had a bit of a performance in front of the car and said: “I don’t really want to go anywhere.” He was like: “No, no, we’ll just be out for a couple of hours.” The car took us to this friend’s beautiful converted warehouse here in Melbourne, and everyone was there…

If you’re a parent you’ll have heard these three plaintive comments from your kids: ‘Everyone else’s parents let them.’ ‘But I’ll be the only one without one.’ ‘Mum, you need to get with the times!’ What’s more, these complaints from our kids are usually to do with mobile phones or the use of them. Having been an issue at home, the mobile phone debate is now heating up in schools as educators and politicians argue their place in our learning environments. French school students will be banned from using mobile phones anywhere on school grounds in September, while here, the NSW government has ordered an Australia-first review of the use of smartphones in schools. The review will investigate phone use by children and teens in schools, and examine their impact…

Dear Renee, Your hands have a dominant air quality. This brings a tendency to over-analyse things and the many smaller lines crisscrossing the head line confirm this. While weighing up the pros and cons of a situation can bring advantages, care is needed to avoid becoming bogged down with indecision. It’s common for air hands to have lots of ‘great ideas’ and little time to put them into practice. They usually pair well with fire hands, as they have a knack for getting ideas out of the ether and into the real world. The elongated Jupiter finger on the left hand shows a fairly well-controlled family background. The relationship lines on the hand show the presence of three relevant relationships, one is a long-term marriage. On a soul level you…

SELF HELPER I’ve learnt the hard way not to ask my MM husband for some alone time. He seems to think that means when I’m unloading all our grocery shopping from the car. SAMANTHA NICHOLSON, YANCHEP, WA. GONE WITH THE DISC I have seen the movie Gone with the Wind more than 30 times and had recommended it to my MM adult son. When he finally watched it, I asked if he’d enjoyed it. He admitted that he had watched the second disc first by mistake – but had still liked it. I’m still struggling to understand how you can sit through more than an hour and a half of a movie not knowing who the characters were or why they were in the situation they…

Johnny Depp’s ex Vanessa Paradis married her partner Samuel Benchetrit in a low-key ceremony in France last weekend.
