Kate Moss looked sensational in an itsy-bitsy bikini as she soaked up sunshine on board a luxury yacht that costs $80,000 per week to charter. The supermodel and her pal Sadie Frost took a dip in the Mediterranean, then spent some time working on their tans on the deck with friend and socialite Lady Mary Charteris. Both Kate (45) and Sadie (54) were known for their wild antics and legendary parties in the 1990s, but things seemed a lot more sedate during their St Tropez holiday. Kate, once nicknamed ‘The Tank’ for the amount of champagne she could drink, has reportedly been teetotal for the past 18 months. She initially gave up booze to support her partner, Count Nikolai von Bismarck (32), who has done several stints in rehab, but…

They were the pictures that shocked the world – a terrified-looking Nigella Lawson being grabbed by the throat outside a London restaurant by her then-husband Charles Saatchi. It’s been six years since those horrific images were published, but the beloved cook has felt the fallout ever since. The result is a more reserved Nigella: one who usually turns down requests for personal interviews; one who guards fiercely her privacy and that of her children, Bruno and Cosima; and one who developed a fear of going out in public. “It wasn’t just about being in the paper all the time,” she says. “It was generally about feeling exposed and under attack. In a way, it would have been much better for me to be able to speak openly. It goes against…

The Kennedy family are once again mourning the tragic loss of one of their clan well before their time. Saoirse Kennedy Hill – a granddaughter of Robert F Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968 – was farewelled last week after being found dead in her bed. The 22-year-old student died of a suspected drug overdose while staying with her grandmother Ethel Kennedy at the famed Kennedy compound in Cape Cod. After dinner with her grandma, she went out dancing at a club, before coming home and staying up to swim at sunrise. The alarm was raised later that day when she didn’t get out of bed. Saoirse was the only child of Courtney Kennedy (the fifth of Robert and Ethel’s 11 kids) and Paul Michael Hill. Irishman Paul was one…

Matty McLean is absolutely fizzing with excitement about getting the chance to pit himself against an Olympic gold medallist, a rugby league legend, a Bachelorette and various other famous faces in the rebooted series of Celebrity Treasure Island. “It is fair to say that this is a dream come true!” exclaims the beloved Breakfast presenter. “Even talking about it now, it’s still surreal that I was able to live out this dream. A lot of people are fans of these kinds of shows, but not everyone gets the opportunity to participate and I’ve been waiting very patiently for my turn,” he says with a grin. For Matty (32), the experience wasn’t just about being involved in a series he watched as a child. “Growing up, I didn’t have the easiest…

As much as physical activity keeps us healthy in retirement, it’s equally important to eat well. As we get older, we generally use less energy than when we were younger and need fewer calories to maintain the same weight. That doesn’t mean skimping, however. Rather, choose foods of high nutritional value and eat a balanced, varied diet, including lots of fruit and vegetables. Protein is particularly important, says Joanne. “Older people can need more protein – it’s about how the body processes food – but fewer carbohydrates, and low fat. On the other hand, if you’re slight, then you’re probably better to eat smaller meals more often and not choose low or reduced-fat options. And everyone needs a walk out in the sunshine to get their vitamin D.” She recommends…

A no-fuss dinner party! That’s right – invite some friends over, light the candles and treat your guests to a simple yet delicious feast. Choose one of these irresistible main dishes, pair it with the vegetable sides, and add on Mum’s easy ice cream and spiced plum dessert. Pork shoulder with balsamic caramelised apples SERVES 6-8 A pork shoulder is an exceptional centrepiece for a dinner party and it’s very low-stress to prepare, as long as you get the crackling right. Let me show you how... 1.5kg piece of pork shoulder, bone in 1 tbsp olive oil 2 onions, roughly chopped 2 tsp sea salt 4 Granny Smith apples (or allow half an apple per guest) 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 cup water, stock or white wine Small bunch of…

If you’re feeling tired of the same old, same old, consider a change of hairstyle to revitalise your image and provide a quick, age-defying boost. Our hair loses pigment, the texture changes and we can end up with a whole lot less of it on our heads – so what is the best strategy to boost what you’ve got? “The most common mistake is doing the same thing you’ve always done!” says Danny Pato of Auckland salon D&M. “Texture, tone, moisture, colour, thickness and elasticity of both hair and skin evolve as we age, so you need to evolve your approach with it,” says the stylist who’s just won Hair Expo NZ Hairdresser of the Year for the fourth time. Given the common belief that the older you get, the…

TO HELP YOUR CHILD WHEN THEY HAVE THE URGE TO SELF-HARM INCLUDE: • Getting them to recognise what triggers it. It may be pressure at school or home, comments from other people (including on social media) or linked to using alcohol or drugs. Keeping a diary and recording what they felt before self-harming can help to gain a better understanding and to hopefully come up with ways of stopping it. • Developing strategies to use instead of self-harming when the urge arises. These can include getting them to talk to someone or doing something distracting, like exercising or dancing. • Removing items they could use to hurt themselves. • Having helpline numbers on hand for them to call. Lifeline 0800 543 354 Youthline 0800 376 633 Healthline 0800 611 116 Samaritans 0800 726 666…

IDENTITY CRISIS Master Eight had diligently saved his pocket money and it was time to withdraw some to buy a board game. I took him to a bank and the teller asked him, “Do you have ID?” Seeing his puzzled look, she added, “Something with your name on?” He replied, “My jacket?” And then he took it off to show her the name tag. Louise, Port Waikato ON THE BRIGHT SIDE Every week at school, we have a class called “creative thinking”. At the end of the lesson, we take a quiz. Last week’s quiz topic was, “Are you a pessimist or an optimist?” A girl who was found to be a pessimist was told to try to be an optimist just for one day. “Oh dear,” she said. “I…

LATE NIGHT RATING M It’s been a long time since I openly laughed out loud this much at the cinema, but it couldn’t be helped while watching this delightful new flick. Starring Dame Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling, Late Night is centred on an ageing talk show host who hires an inexperienced but keen young writer, just to prove she doesn’t hate women, and to add diversity to her office. But when her show is threatened with cancellation, it’s Mindy’s character who changes everything. Emma and Mindy both give powerhouse performances and make a great match on screen.…

Formerly a journalist in Adelaide, he now lives in Denmark and works in the pharmaceutical business. He started out self-publishing his work and donates his profits to a charity, Plan International. This novel was inspired by… ”A chance meeting around a barbecue at a campground in Victoria, son who had just walked off their dairy farm after Australia, with a father and going broke. It was a tragic story, but all too common. I wanted to find a way to tell it with a twist and couldn’t find that hook, until one day I read an article in a UK newspaper about a man whose property had been foreclosed by the bank, but instead of handing over the keys, he burned it to the ground. I put the two things…

I had a revelation last week: No matter if you watch reality television or avoid it like the plague, there’s no escaping it. I realised this when I was in my kitchen, quite alone, cooking my Sunday dinner . “And now I’m just going to scatter some herbs on top here,” I trilled, letting some coriander leaves fall onto the plate of couscous. “Lovely . That’s a competition dish.” I paused. Who on earth did I think I was talking to? To what competition was I referring? And then I realised that I’d started to commentate like I was a contestant on My Kitchen Rules . I thought back to a few weeks previously, when I accompanied a friend to an open home and paced around the room admiring the…

Phil Kingsley Jones was there at the beginning of Jonah Lomu’s rugby career. He managed him for 10 years and became a father figure to the young winger. But at the end of Jonah’s life, Phil was nowhere to be seen. Despite helping Jonah through this mega-star career, when it came to his funeral on November 30, 2015 – after his death from a cardiac arrest related to his rare kidney condition – Phil was told to stay away. “It was the worst time of my life not going to the funeral,” Phil (71) declares as he wipes tears from his eyes. “On the day of the funeral, I sat at the Counties Manukau clubrooms and watched it on the telly with tears streaming down my face.” Just days before…

Alan Graham reckons he’s not a health nut. Still, the 82-year-old would put many people half his age to shame. Twice a week, you’ll find him gliding – perhaps not so much with ease, but with spirited determination – with the best of them around Avondale’s Paradice ice rink. This is Alan’s happy place, and has been since the 1950s, when he was taken to see an ice show in St James’ Theatre in Wellington. An active skier – he once taught in Ohakune for 10 years – it was another ice show in Northern California, where he was working at the time, that reignited his interest in skating. “Charles Schultz of Peanuts fame has an ice-skating rink in the neighbouring town to where I lived,” he recalls. “They put…

Do you have a nasty rash? Constant cravings for sugar? Well, an out-of-control fungus could be to blame. It’s the bane of many women’s lives, yet a lot of them don’t realise they’ve got it. Candidiasis is an infection caused by the overgrowth of yeast, or more specifically, a type of fungus called candida, which occurs naturally in the body. It is found in small amounts in the mouth and intestines, and on your skin, and it’s there to help with digestion and the absorption of nutrients. However, in some people it grows out of control, causing problems ranging from thrush and urinary tract infections through to joint pain, bloating and vaginal infections. Here is what you need to know about candida and the problems it can cause: • It…

Food fashion is a funny thing. Every now and then something crops up (oops) that grabs all the attention, and we expend time and energy learning how to cook it. When I think of all the time I’ve wasted trying to figure out what to do with kale! Best idea? Nothing. You might be as relieved as I am to know that kale is now a bit passé and you’ll no longer have to pretend it’s a regular on your table.You can forget about celeriac too. Yesterday’s news. Daikon radish and Swiss chard? On the cusp. But fortunately, there are plenty of new trendsetters to try. Despite its dodgy-sounding name, rutabaga is up there in the 2019 list of cool veg. I firmly believe there’s been a clever marketing ploy…

LEO Jul 24 – Aug 23 Your brain is sharp, and you can see very clearly exactly what needs to be done and when. Keep an open mind, as you may change it when you have a fantastic idea that eclipses all other plans and dreams. The best thing is that it will work. It is perfect. You will wonder why you didn’t see it before. That doesn’t matter; what matters is that you get on with it! VIRGO Aug 24 – Sep 23 There comes a time when you make up your own rules because you’re not particularly happy with the existing ones. Just make sure that when you follow your own rules everyone understands why. Also some of you in long-term relationships should be ready for an unexpected…

One of the reasons I enjoy writing this column is the cathartic aspect of it. I can scratch down my frustrations and in doing so drive them from me unto you. Thanks. I’ve got another one to burden you with this week: Something I’m calling the ‘Multinational Help Maze’. I’ve spent the best part of three days and four phone hours lost in one. The most galling part of this ordeal is there was no resolution; no answer; nothing. All that time, all the pleading and re-telling of my dilemma for zilch. I was a good boy in the beginning: I used my manners and spoke nicely. There was even laughter. I respected the person on the other end of the phone was not the CEO, they were just a…

There is always space for a bit of whimsy and quirk in my reading, and this novel is definitely both of those things, but it also has a grittier edge. It is set in drought-stricken rural Victoria, Australia where farmers are struggling. Dairy farmer Tom Murray has had to accept he is up to his neck in debt and the bank is about to foreclose. Still, he is not going to give up without a final fight and decides to burn down his house so the bank can’t have it. Tragically, things go wrong and he is killed in the blaze, leaving his wife Dawn and teenage kids Jenny and Jack homeless and grief-stricken. Feisty Dawn decides to stage a protest that will draw attention to the plight of local…

As a whippersnapper, Sir Brian Lochore was handy with a tennis racquet. The youngster won the Wairarapa junior title not once but four times on the trot – leading some to believe they had a future star in their midst. They did. Just not a tennis star. By the time Brian left school he had fallen in love with rugby, and when he died on August 3 he was celebrated as one of the greatest players ever to pull on the black jersey. The 78-year-old, who battled bowel cancer in the last months of his life, was a legend of the game. Towering at 1.91m and with “dinner plate-sized hands”, the sheep farmer had a giant presence, but he was also a gentleman: mild-mannered, caring and inspiring. Born in Masterton…

If the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex really want to know how to fulfil their public duties and maintain a completely private life, they should look no further than the marriage of Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence. Over the last 27 years, they have managed to let very little light into their home life. It helps that they have very discreet friends – and, even within the royal family, nobody would dare cross the Princess Royal (68). “They have survived simply by not talking about, or even hinting at, anything personal,” says a courtier. “They embody the Queen’s dictum: ‘Never complain, never explain.’” They first met on the Royal Yacht Britannia in 1986. Tim, now 64, was a navigation officer when Anne was on a royal…

Kiwis have seen him in everything from The Bad Seed to Nothing Trivial. Now actor Kelson Henderson (44) is playing colourful sports manager Phil Kingsley Jones in the movie Jonah. What are your memories of Jonah Lomu? I came late to rugby and didn’t even start watching it until I moved to Wellington to go to drama school at age 19, so I missed the glory of Jonah arriving on the world stage during the 1995 World Cup. What kind of research did you do for your role playing Phil Kingsley Jones? At audition stage, I hit the internet and found out all that I could about him. I was fascinated. Not so much by what he did but who he was to Jonah – this unlikely pair who became…

A healthy, happy retirement is all about attitude – or so reckons super-fit great-gran Barbara Sharp. The 79-year-old Masters Games indoor gold medallist and her sister Jill (81) have just been to the gym. This twice weekly visit, where Barbara will work on either upper or lower body strength, is part of a fitness regime that she sticks to religiously. Tomorrow she’ll likely be in the pool doing 45 minutes of aquajogging – “it sometimes turns into a very social thing where we just sort of stay in a corner and chat, or walk up and down and tell rude jokes” – followed by 16 laps of freestyle. And that’s after Barbara’s walked for an hour. Use it or lose it, indeed. It might be a cliché, but there’s no…

Who’d be your dr eam band to photograph? New Kids on the Block. Do you admit to buying a selfie-stick? Yes! But I’m too embarrassed to bring it out. It’s such a hindrance to others. I haven’t got the hang of taking selfies because my arms are so short! What’s your other secr et passion? Retro gaming and getting my ‘geek’ on at Armageddon. Technically, I’m only there to check out the games and cosplay [costumes]. But it’s so awesome to see my son Mac (7) getting into it too. Who is your hero? My mother. There are not enough words to describe how important my mum is and what she means to me.…

WHAT IS IT? Retinol is the name for pure vitamin A and is a proven ingredient in anti-ageing skincare. WHO NEEDS IT? Anyone who wants to give their skin a noticeable, youthful boost. WHAT DOES IT DO? It helps to normalise skin cells that have been damaged by environmental factors, as well as accelerate skin renewal and improve skin tone. HOW DO I USE IT?

You may have noticed your teen sporting scratches on their body which they put down to being clumsy or careless. Or they may have started wearing clothes that cover their limbs, even when it’s warm. While this behaviour could be completely innocent, it could also be a sign that they’ve been self-harming, especially if they’ve also become withdrawn and moody, and seem to have lost interest in things they used to enjoy. Self-harm is the deliberate act of hurting yourself – often by cutting your skin with a knife or other sharp implement – and it’s how some people cope with strong emotions or overwhelming situations. Some who do it say it helps to relieve intense feelings and they feel better for a while afterwards, although that feeling often doesn’t…

With gardens becoming smaller, the popularity of dwarf plants is growing. Many fruits and vegetables are being bred in smaller sizes, which also means less waste. Cauliflower, artichoke, eggplant, carrots, beans, onions and avocados all come in size XS, which is good news for singles who may not want to cook a regular eggplant and then eat it three days in a row. But artichokes? Aren’t they fiddly enough in regular size? And avocados? Personally, I’d rather they were as big as baseballs.…

Rotorua is well known as a fantastic holiday destination for families. But its charms aren’t just for children. My husband and I left ours in Auckland and headed to the thermal wonderland for a weekend escape by ourselves. We managed to sneak away before the traffic snarled up too much on a Friday afternoon and arrived at the Novotel Rotorua Lakeside in perfect time to experience the Redwoods Treewalk through Whakarewarewa Forest at dusk. It’s a romantic stroll over 553 metres of swing bridges and platforms through the majestic trees and, once it’s dark, you can admire designer David Trubridge’s stunning lanterns. After taking in the classy combination of nature and exquisite design, we walked from our hotel to nearby food hub, Eat Streat. We celebrated our fourth anniversary with…

Katrina’s comeback I loved the article about Katrina Rore’s nail-biting year (27.07.19). Being a huge fan of Katrina, I’ve ridden the rollercoaster she’s been on, from the heartbreaking times at the Commonwealth Games to being dropped from the Silver Ferns. It was a very emotional, raw time. It was wonderful to see Katrina have such a good season with the Pulse and to regain her position with the Silver Ferns – only to be struck down with injury leading into the World Cup! I’m so pleased Katrina recovered to take part. It was so good to see the smile on her face with the gold medal around her neck. Thoroughly deserved and what a ride! Pebbles, New Plymouth $100 WINNING LETTER Thrifty inspiration I so love your features this week…

And so it begins. One by one, we’re all starting to crumble. I’m just back from seeing one of my oldest friends – not the oldest in age, but one I’ve known for more than a quarter of a century. She had arrived home from hospital after having a hip replacement and I popped around to have a cup of tea with her. While I was there, she had to get off the bed to go to the loo and she asked me to pass her crutches. As I handed them to her our eyes met and she began to laugh. “Can you believe it’s come to this?” she said, gesturing to the crutches and the walker. I knew what she meant. Hip replacements are what our mothers have –…

Actor Rima Te Wiata stars in Auckland Theatre Company’s production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, September 11 – 26 at the ASB Waterfront Theatre. My favourite book ever is... ”The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck by Beatrix Potter. The touching story and illustrations stole my heart long ago and I have read the book hundreds of times. As a result of this book, I simply can’t eat duck. The one time I did eat it, I didn’t know until somebody told me, and I instantly threw up at the table.” My book of the moment is… ”Renaissance Magic and the Return of the Golden Age by John S Mebane. It studies the influence of occult philosophies on different writers from the olden days. Very interesting!”…

Judi Dench was looking more drab and dreary than dame-like on the set of her new film Blithe Spirit. The Academy Award-winning actress plays Madame Arcati in the adaption of the Noel Coward play, set to be released in February 2020. Swathed in costume jewellery and clashing patterns, Judi (84) was dressed to play the part of an eccentric clairvoyant in the film. The British icon will star alongside Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens (36) and Confessions of a Shopaholic’s Isla Fisher (43) in the 1940s comedy about a man haunted by the ghost of his first wife.…
