They were one of the most famous songwriting duos in music history, and it seems that even death can’t keep Paul McCartney and John Lennon from collaborating. The 78-year-old has revealed that despite John’s untimely demise 40 years ago, he still regularly goes to his Beatle bandmate for advice, sharing, “We collaborated for so long, I think, ‘OK, what would he think of this? What would he say now?’ We’d both agree that this new song I’m talking about is going nowhere. So instead of sitting around, we’d destroy it and remake it.” Paul may be ready to give up on his latest song, but he isn’t planning on quitting music anytime soon, as long as he still has time to get lost in the woods. “I love nature, I…

It should be the happiest time in her life, but Christina Perri has revealed that her unborn child will need surgery immediately after it is born. The A Thousand Years singer, who shared that the “baby could come at any moment”, explained what was happening after being hospitalised. “There’s a complication with the baby’s intestines,” she explained. “The baby right now is scheduled to have an operation when they arrive. We’ll spend some time in the hospital,” she said. This is the second child for Christina, 34, and her husband Paul Costabile, who share two-year old daughter Carmella. The singer has been very open about her fertility struggles in the past, emotionally telling that she had suffered a miscarriage before announcing in July that they were expecting another child, due…

DEFINING Once brows are groomed to perfection (see right), it’s time for the finishing touch. A good brow product should define your shape, fill in any areas that need extra help, and give a natural yet full finish. For those who are new to filling brows, a pencil is great, as the buildable formula means you can’t go too over the top. Make small strokes that mimic the way your hairs fall until you reach your desired finish. For a more defined and glam look, use an angle brush with a gel or cream formula. Then, once you’ve filled to perfection, use a clear brow gel to hold them in place, like actress Jenna Dewan (above). Try (1) DB Cosmetics Clear Mascara, $12.99; (2) Natio Define Eye Pencil, $19.50; (3)…

I thought, when the Woman’s Weekly came out with me as the cover girl, that the photos might have been stimulus enough for me to kick off a healthy phase in my life. The lovely crew did very well to tart me up as well as they did, but I’ve been a Weekly cover girl for more than 30 years and this was probably the most you’ve ever seen of me on the cover. I flicked through the pages of the magazine, thinking, “Didn’t the crew do a great job,” and promptly opened a bottle of wine and cancelled a gym session. Then, when I had a photo session coming up for NewsTalk ZB – photos that would be turned into billboards that would then be plastered onto the sides…

The coronavirus has meant that all over the world people have been forced to cancel events or hold them via video conference, so it is truly wonderful that Kiwis have been able to celebrate success with two live events recently! The Aotearoa Music A wards were held at Auckland’s Spark Arena on November 15, where there were 18 performances from some of the country’s biggest talent, including Stan Walker, Six60 and 20-year -old Benee, who was the big winner of the night. You can see pictures from the night on page 86. And then, three days later, stars of the small screen sparkled on the red carpet for the NZ TV Awards – don’t miss all of the glamour on page 2. In this week’s issue, we chat to Wendy…

A team of researchers compared claims made in The Crown with events written about by respected royal biographers and came to the following conclusions: ✘ Charles was cold and cruel to Diana from the start. FALSE ✔ Charles told his sister Princess Anne he “didn’t know” Diana. PARTLY TRUE ✔ Diana chose her own engagement ring.

In 1993, the first episode of The X-Files aired and 25-year-old Gillian Anderson became a household name. By the time the show ended in 2002, it was one of the most successful and critically acclaimed shows on TV, and remains a cult favourite to this day. But for a young Gillian, the fame was too much to handle and she left her glittering life in Hollywood for the rainy shores of London. “I had a complicated relationship with becoming so famous so young and seeing the worst part of what the industry can be,” the now 52-year-old admits. “I really hated it and wanted to get away.” While it seemed a rash choice at the time Gillian, who spent part of her childhood in London, explained that she “always missed…

Five years ago, Coast FM’s Lorna Subritzky, 52, had her life turned upside down when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This month, the Breast Cancer Foundation ambassador and mother of Max, 22, Lucy, 20, and Zoe, 11, was declared cancer-free. We caught up with her the day she was given the happy news. Lorna, congratulations! We are so thrilled for you. Thank you! You don’t realise how nervous you are to get good news until you’re in a situation like this! You go, “Oh, I can exhale now.” For the first few years I was pretty complacent, but I had a bit of a scare last year at my four-year check and had to wait to find out if it had returned in my other breast, so you’re never…

‘I’ve had requests for black coats, and said, “It’s not my thing, sorry. Start wearing colour – you’ll feel amazing!’” “My whole life I thought, ‘Don’t buy this because it doesn’t go with that’, but it actually doesn’t matter. One time I wore three colours – hot pink, orange and yellow – and went, ‘Today I’m dressed as a sunset.’ Everyone laughed, but I was like, ‘You’re going to remember it, aren’t you? How that girl turned up dressed like a sunset!’ Starting a fashion label was far from my mind growing up on my parents’ small farm in Kinohaku. I fell in love with animals early on and we all mucked in as a family. I reared a lamb every year and was feeding cattle by the time I…

What is it? “Brow lamination is the process of restructuring the brow hairs to keep them in the desired shape,” says celebrity brow expert Colette Manion. What’s it good for? “This is the perfect brow treatment for anyone whose hairs are irregular in direction or with any gaps.” And how does it look? “It will give the appearance of perfectly groomed, fluffy full brows.” What’s involved? 1 Firstly, have a good chat with the technician to discuss what you want to achieve from the treatment. If you struggle with gaps in your brows and want them to appear fuller or more even, this is for you! 2 Your brows are brushed upwards and a fixing lotion is applied. Yes, it looks scary, but by straightening any kinks out…

It’s wonderful having a four-legged companion in your life, but it has its ‘ruff’ moments when you’re zero-waste and have to get rid of the do-dos! Luckily, I have a solution to that... Yappy days! One of the hardest days of my zero-waste journey was how to deal with dog poop. It really was hard. The sort where you lower your chin to your chest and sigh with resignation and wonder, “Can I go on?” I’d taken Flo, my noisy wee fluff ball, out for a walk on Waiheke Island. We were happily enjoying the sunshine, Flo strutting ahead of me, when suddenly she stopped and did ‘the squat’. You know the one, when they frog-leg their butts toward the ground and... well, you know what comes next. Any responsible…

To keep a scarf in place over your hair, place a narrow elastic headband inside the fold of the scarf, then tie the scarf ends back. – 2810 Sandflies can be a nuisance. To stop them in their tracks, make a lather of soap and apply to exposed areas. Let the soap dry and sandflies will not bite through this barrier. – Sandy Fill empty medium-sized coffee jars with cordial for use at the beach, picnics, etc. Each child has their own jar, with their name written on in red nail varnish.

CAPRICORN Dec 23 – Jan 20 You’re in for a roller-coaster ride at the start of the week. In fact, you might want to get off and run away, which might not be a bad idea if you have holidays due. But the positive will outweigh the negative, and you’ll get to the weekend with a sense of accomplishment. Plus, there is a rather nice reward at the end. AQUARIUS Jan 21 – Feb 19 It has been a while since you kicked up your heels, and Aquarians need to do that every once in a while. It’s time to do whatever comes into your head and be spontaneous. When you throw caution to the wind, exciting things happen. Take a risk at work – you will be pleased you…

She is a former journalist who lives in Melbourne with her husband and two children. Her books have been huge international bestsellers and one of them, The Dry, has been turned into a movie starring Eric Bana. This is her fourth novel. This novel was inspired by… the spark of an idea of a mystery set against a rugged coastal setting. The Survivors is a story that’s full of small-town intrigue and hidden secrets, so it was really important to get the setting right. I decided on Tasmania because it has that perfect mix of coastal towns and breathtaking seascapes that made it the ideal choice. The most challenging thing about writing it was… balancing my work and home life. I write full-time, but I also have a young family…

WHAT’S YA POINT?! We’re seeing double! John Stamos, 57, was on-set of his new show, Big Shot, working with his favourite actor – himself! Who he lovingly dubbed “#BronzeStamos”. CRIPES, IT’S ME!

Drew Barrymore, 45, and comedian Ross Mathews, 41, got messy in the kitchen while doing some rage baking on the…

Surreal – that is the word Wendy Petrie uses to describe her life right now. Most likely lots of us feel that way about the pandemic-struck year that is coming to an end. For Wendy, it has been particularly challenging to get her head around the way things have changed because it took a while for her new normal to happen. Back in July, she was devastated to be made redundant from her job, presenting TVNZ’s 6pm news alongside Simon Dallow. On her final official day on-air in August, there was a farewell morning tea held in the newsroom, a low-key affair with a couple of cakes. But then, after all the goodbyes had been said, Wendy seemed to be on our screens almost non-stop, appearing on Breakfast, the late…

It’s Katy vs Katie! Pop star Katy Perry has once again found herself in legal trouble after being sued by Australian designer Katie Perry for alleged trademark infringement. Trouble started when the Roar singer, 36, began selling products under her Katy Perry Collection down under, which the designer claims are “substantially identical with or deceptively similar to” her ‘Katie Perry’ trademark that she has owned since 2008. Among the wide range of goods named in the suit is the singer’s Special Edition X-Large Pizza Box Kit, which includes a variety of pizza-themed accessories and pyjamas. The hitmaker has her hands full at the moment with her newborn daughter Daisy Dove, hosting duties on American Idol and an album to promote, so she doesn’t plan on making an appearance in court…

‘I’m not only accepting this award for myself’ Just months after being accused of being mean to her staff, Ellen DeGeneres has thanked them profusely after winning a top TV award. The host’s self-titled programme was named best daytime talk show – voted for by the public – at the E! People’s Choice Awards and she didn’t hesitate to express her gratitude towards the 250 people who work on it. “I’m not only accepting this award for myself, I’m accepting it on the behalf of my amazing crew, my amazing staff, who make this show possible,” Ellen said. “They show up every single day, they give 100 percent of themselves, 100 percent of the time.” An emotional Ellen, 62, added, “I thank them for what they do every single day…

JOHNNY DEPP In Pirates of the Caribbean, he was hungry for treasure, but in real life Johnny Depp, 57, has kissed goodbye to his fortune. The actor is estimated to have made $955m since his 1984 film debut in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Thanks to some interesting spending habits, like $295,000 a month on a private jet and $44,000 on vintage wine, however, he’s gone from filthy rich to dirt poor. The Edward Scissorhands star sued his former business managers in 2017 for mishandling his earnings and they ultimately settled. COURTNEY LOVE Wild child Courtney Love inherited a fortune – $39m, to be exact – when her husband, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, died suddenly in 1994. In the following years, the Hole singer, 56, blew the lot on drugs,…

VizLink was basically born as a way for me and my husband Terry to not kill each other! When we started working together on the farm, it was hard because Terry’s a born-and-bred farmer, who talks in farm lingo, and I was a townie, trying to be a good farmer. We also had completely different communication styles, so I started developing whiteboards, checklists, maps and signs to improve our communication and workflow. I never imagined turning it into a business. My parents own canvas manufacturing and party hire companies, and growing up, I saw how much stress that involved, so I never wanted to go into a commercial business. I was more of a creative kid. I struggled through reading and writing at school. I felt dumb the whole time.…

THE COORDINATES Opting for matching coordinates takes the pressure off compiling an outfit, plus there’s the added bonus of being able to wear them as separates, too. Try a chunky sandal this summer – ones that strap you in are more modern looking and they won’t slip off when walking. THE PONCHO A bold and bright linen poncho is a great buy as it can be worn in multiple ways – throw it over swimwear, or style with denim or pants for an easy ensemble. Always pair with a slim-fit bottom so it does not overwhelm your figure. THE DRESS When choosing an investment piece for your wardrobe, like this dress, look for classic cuts and colours that won’t date. You can wear the frock during the cooler months by…

THE BENEFITS Even if you think feng shui is mumbo-jumbo, most of its principles are in accordance with good landscape design practice, so applying them will still give you a garden that is pleasing to be in. Some of the key features of feng shui gardens are water, healthy plants, uncluttered spaces and the gentle tinkling of wind chimes – what’s not to like? BALANCING ELEMENTS The elements of earth, metal, water, wood and fire must be well balanced for good feng shui in a garden. All five elements relate to different compass sectors in the garden, for example the south sector is fire, and the west is metal. Place your outdoor fire in the southern part of the garden and hang your steel wind chimes in the western quarter…

• Keep all your old toilet paper rolls, ready to thread onto the lead. Ideally use toilet paper that comes from a sustainable wood source, bamboo for example. • Buy a PooperScooper, designed for picking up dog poop. I’ve never used one, so I can’t vouch for it, but I’d love to know if you do. • Investigate other bag options, some are made of ingredients like corn starch which ought to biodegrade efficiently – you might need to bury a few different options to see which one performs best. • While we’re on the dog subject, try to buy their food from refilleries to avoid those plastic bags. If you are forced to buy in plastic, choose to buy in bulk – the biggest bag, to avoid lots of…

THE FLATTERER I have joined a gardening club and each week we have been having a competition for the best shrub. When I entered two pieces of fuchsia the other week, another member approached me and asked if she could have one as she did so admire it. Flattered, I gave it to her and after the meeting, she approached me again. “Wasn’t that funny!” she said. “What was?” I asked mystified. “Your fuchsia,” she said. “I entered it. Didn’t you know? I was the one who won first prize. Your other piece came second.” Once Bitten, Tauranga, Sept 1970 LATE DEVELOPER “Might as well get this film developed,” said my husband briskly, sounding very organised. In due course we went to collect the photographs. Surprise, surprise. The little tot…

Not absolutely everything about the coronavirus is awful. On the very short list of good things about it is the fact that it’s bringing some of our children back home to New Zealand. The New York branch of my vast and far-reaching tribe has, in fact, very recently landed back in Auckland. There is so much excitement in the family about the homecoming that buildings might fall down with all the jumping and shouting. So far, I’m managing to stay calm, though mainly on the outside. ‘I’m only 20 years out of practice at living with babies, but I’m ready’ Jamie, the only boy in my grown-up six-pack of kids, is just part of a great wave of Kiwis coming home to stay, many of them young, many of them…

Jane Harper writes crime thrillers that aren’t so much based around breathtaking twists and turns, as they are quieter stories about people who are put in situations where their true character emerges. Her latest novel plays out within a seaside community in Tasmania that was devastated a decade earlier by a dreadful storm, and now risks being torn apart once again. Kieran Elliott has returned to Evelyn Bay to help his ageing parents move out of their house. His hometown is a place that holds bad memories for Kieran because his brother Finn was killed in a shipwreck during the big storm, and blaming himself, he is still struggling with the guilt. While he is busy reconnecting with old friends and revisiting old haunts, more tragedy strikes. A young student,…

• Aueˉ by Becky Manawatu has been the big award winner of 2020. The debut novel from a previously unknown author from Westport scooped the top prize at the Ockham Book Awards. Then it won the prize for best crime novel at the Ngaio Marsh Awards. While I think it may be a stretch to call this novel crime fiction, it is a really great, if sometimes harrowing, read. • The novel The Queen’s Gambit by Walter Tevis was published back in 1983. It tells the story of an orphaned chess prodigy and sadly the author died of lung cancer a year after it came out, so he never got to see his work adapted for Netflix into what is possibly one of the year’s most compelling dramas. Even if…
