Yep, there was a buzz in the air – and a few tears! – at NW HQ when Matty J was officially announced as the new Bachelor. As the NW-ettes cleared space for their new Matty J shrine – you can make your own with this week’s pics (page 20) – there were squeals of joy and some cries of sadness. “I don’t think I can write stories about him falling in love and dating other women,” sighed one stalker NW-ette – let’s call her, er, Karina. “How can I support Matty finding The One when I’m his true love?!” But don’t worry, stalker anonymous NW-ette, ’cause you never know what’ll happen in matters of the heart. Just ask Katy and Orly, who stepped out at an Oscars party, only…

They’ve only just survived the recent BeckiLeaks email scandal, but David and Victoria Beckham’s 17-year marriage is facing yet another test as they prepare to spend the next six months apart. Indeed, while Becks, 41, is finalising his plans to relocate to Miami and launch a Major League Soccer team, Posh, 42, will be staying in London. “Victoria needs to be in the UK for work and the kids... She can’t move with David to America,” a source spills, adding that the fashion designer asked her hubby to scrap his big move for the sake of their family – but he flat-out refused. “Friends are worried it could have an impact on them. They’ll try to see each other as much as they can and are planning regular Skype dates,…

The same day she declared Zayn Malik the “love of my life” on Instagram, Gigi Hadid showed off a sparkly new ring on that finger at Paris Fashion Week – and, of course, the wedding buzz began! “It wasn’t the same ring she normally wears, so everyone reckons it could be an engagement ring,” says one onlooker. “She couldn’t wipe the smile off her face.” The supermodel certainly appeared loved-up as she and her rumoured fiancé hit up restaurant Laperouse in twinning Tommy Hilfiger, following her Tommy x Gigi launch on February 28. But news that Zigi could be engaged after 16 months together should come as no shock, given Zayn, 24, admits he’s beyond ready to settle down with Gigi, 21. “I like [to] be at home, and I…

Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus just can’t quit each other! Yep, the rumoured couple were busted grocery shopping in New York on February 23 after allegedly arriving back in town from a sneaky roadtrip vacay together. It’s the first time they’ve been spotted away from the red carpet since their secret bar date in 2015, fuelling whispers they may finally be ready to go public with their suspected romance. While the actor’s rep insists the two are “just friends”, there’s no question there’s more to this story. Growing close while filming the flick Sky in2015,thecosyco-stars were allegedly spotted making out at an East Village bar in December that year – while she was dating long-term beau Joshua Jackson. “She just literally got out of her chair and straddled him,” one…

She might be twice his age, but that didn’t stop former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 35, cosying up to Brooklyn Beckham, 17, at a Brit Awards bash in London late last month. According to UK newspaper The Sun, the teen “jumped out of his seat” to talk to Ash after she asked her agent to introduce them. They then apparently chatted for over half an hour before Ash tried to coax him onto the dance floor... “He had a huge smile on his face,” says one party spy. Hmm... Sounds like Ashley’s more cougar than pussycat!…

They seemed happier than ever as they posed for photos at Vanity Fair’s star-studded Oscars afterparty on February 26, but behind closed doors Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s romance was crumbling. Yep, just two days later the couple announced through their reps that they’d decided to call it quits after one year of dating. “We can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time,” reads a statement given to Us Weekly. But with Orly, 40, spotted getting cosy with conference services manager Erin McCabe at a pre-Oscars party at Hollywood hotspot Tao on February 22, could his wandering eye be the real reason behind their shock split? Indeed, while Katy, 32, was keen to settle down and start a family with Orly – after building…

Kate shouldn’t waste all her energy going toe-to-toe with Angelina – she’s got a custody battle of her own to fight, just like Brad! Yep, while it was only revealed last week, the actress’s ex-husband Chris Robinson has been quietly contesting the current custody arrangement for their son Ryder since June. “When they finalised their divorce [in 2007], they agreed to joint custody,” a source tells In Touch mag. “Chris now wants full custody.” And that’s not all. While in their previous settlement, Chris, 50, stated that he didn’t want any money from Kate, new legal documents reveal he’s now demanding a big child support payment from the actress. So why the change of heart? We hear the former Black Crowes rocker doesn’t approve of how Kate is raising Ryder,…

‘CHAR THINKS GAZ IS MISSING A SENSITIVITY CHIP’ She rose to fame thanks to her party-girl ways, but it’s no secret that former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby is beyond ready to kiss her wild nights out goodbye and settle down to start a family. “I want 10 babies,” she declared earlier this year, adding that she definitely wants kids before she’s 30. And it looks like she’s on track to make that deadline! Yep, the reality star, 26, sparked major pregnancy buzz after showing off a hint of a baby bump while attending the Brit Awards in London on February 22. “There was no denying her belly looked a lot rounder – and I’m not talking booze-bloat either!” reveals one onlooker of Char, who also appeared fuller in an…

During their five years apart, Tom and Katie have tried – and failed – to move on. Indeed, in 2013, just a year after her divorce was finalised, Katie was rumoured to have started dating Jamie Foxx, 49. But their on-off union hit the skids last October, allegedly because he was reluctant to take the romance public. They took a brief break around August, during which Katie was said to have reconnected with her Dawson’s Creek love Joshua Jackson, 38. On Tom’s part, his dalliances with co-stars Annabelle Wallis, 32, and Rebecca Ferguson, 33, never went beyond on-set chemistry. And his reported romance with one-time PA Emily Thomas, 24, failed to turn serious, despite word that he wanted to put a ring on it.…

She’s barely had time to get back on the singles scene since her split from The Weeknd in November, but Bella Hadid may already have a hot, new rebound romance on her hands... with a girl! Yep, a fashion insider tells NW that the supermodel has become the object of Victoria’s Secret Angel Stella Maxwell’s affection. The genetically blessed babes certainly looked cosy as they left a London Fashion Week party hosted by LOVE Magazine and Burberry on February 20, two days after they enjoyed a girls’ night out in the UK capital with their model squad – including Bella’s sis Gigi, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin. And while Stella, 26, is currently dating Kristen Stewart, also 26, she might not be for much longer if things continue to develop…

Did we ever really move on? Apparently not, because ’90s revival tours are the new It-thing. Hot on the heels of Joanne reminding us why we can’t get “Jac-Jac-Jackie” out of our heads, Dutch beatmasters 2 Unlimited (famous for Get Ready For This) and Belgian outfit Technotronic (think Pump Up The Jam) are headlining a national tour with fellow ’90s hitmakers including Real McCoy (Another Night) and Dr Alban (Sing Hallelujah). Mega ’90s Australia Tour 2017 starts March 17. For tickets, see arenaent.com.au…

If the shoe fits, look as fabulous AF in it – right, girl? When your pins are as perfect as Ellie Goulding’s, why not put ’em in the spotlight? And that’s exactly what the Burn singer’s gone and done in the campaign for her latest fashion collab – a shoe collection for German label Deichmann that launched last week. Inspired by the phrase “Rock your look” and featuring all kinds of funky footwear, from skyscraper heels to casual-cool wedges and comfy sneakers, the collection’s every bit as eclectic as the leggy babe herself. “I really can’t decide if I like wearing heels or flats better,” she admits. “I’m constantly changing it up.” You can say that again, lady – we can barely keep up! Sole singer Modelling chic heels is…

The NW-ettes were swooning left, right and, well, all over NW HQ last week thanks to Ed Sheeran’s chivalrous ways. Yep, the ginger ninja had hearts melting when, after his girlfriend Cherry Seaborn’s Louboutins broke, he took his sneakers off and gave them to her to wear. He then carried said heels as they left a Brit Awards afterparty hosted by Warner Music. #boyfriendgoals! And if that wasn’t enough to win him major brownie points, the Shape Of You singer then cheered on his missus-of-two-years at her hockey game in Chelmsford, UK, while also taking time to snap selfies with his fans. “We’re very, very strong,” Ed says of their relationship. “I've never been happier, I’ve never been more comfortable, I’ve never been more inspired. I just feel like everything’s…

HOTTEST NEW BROMANCE After locking lips with Ryan Reynolds at the Golden Globes, Andrew Garfield seemed to turn his attentions to Lion nominee Dev Patel. The Brit actors got so cosy during one ad break, it looked like they were about to pash! BIGGEST SLEEPYHEAD Constant meme generator Chrissy Teigen found herself the subject of yet another hilare social media moment after she was caught napping on hubby John Legend’s shoulder.

Concern is growing for Lily Allen, after online trolls accused her of being responsible for her son William being tragically stillborn in 2010. Poor Lily! The attack comes after the singer, 31, recently revealed that she’s bipolar and has suffered post-traumatic stress disorder ever since delivering her son at six months. “I lay in a hospital bed with my deceased son stuck between my legs halfway out of my body for 10 hours,” tweeted Lily, who’s since had daughters Ethel, five, and Marnie, four. But cruel trolls were quick to blame her party-hard lifestyle for the heartbreaking experience, forcing the star to quit Twitter. It’s probably for the best, Lil.…

They still haven’t revealed the name of their one-year-old daughter to the world, but Josh Hartnett and his partner Tamsin Egerton are now expecting baby number two! Tamsin, 28, debuted her noticeable bump at the Vanity Fair Oscars bash on February 26, where Josh, 38, joked about his wife tucking into a spread of sweets. “This is not feeding the baby nourishment,” he laughed. But despite his top-secret approach to fatherhood, the Pearl Harbour starsays it’s still the best thing that’s happened to him. “[My daughter’s] the apple of my eye, she’s perfect in every way,” he says. Aw!…

HONEY BOO BOO THROWS SHADE AT KIMMY K! There’s a reality-TV war brewing... between Honey Boo Boo and Kim Kardashian! Yep, last week the former Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star – real name Alana Thompson, 11 – called out Kimmy, 36, for being a drama queen. “Kim is a little overdramatic,” she says. But she’s still a klan fan! “I just love Kylie,” adds the tween. “I would just LOVE love to meet Khloe or Kylie.” Us too! HELLO... IT’S ME, ADELE! We were seeing double last week when Adele kicked off her Aussie tour in Perth. Yep, the Brit superstar shared her stage with local drag queen and Adele impersonator Feminem, who at one point grabbed the mic off her and belted out her hit Rumour Has It.…

She recently revealed she battled an eating disorder as a teen, and now Lily Collins has admitted her condition was so bad, she feared she would never be able to have children because of it. “My hair and nails became brittle. My throat burnt and my oesophagus ached. My period stopped for a couple of years. I was terrified I had ruined my chances of having kids,” the To The Bone star, 27, writes in just-released excerpts from her memoir Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me. “I was convinced that I had f**ked myself up beyond repair.”…

She’s been the unofficial punching bag of this season’s Married At First Sight, and now Cheryl Maitland has had enough, pulling on her boxing gloves to fight back against all the haters. And fair enough! Since the season started, the Gold Coast model has been called Shrek by twins Sharon and Michelle, caught her hubby Jonathan texting fellow bride Scarlett, rejoined the experiment with Andrew – aka “Jonesy” – and had to sit through a dinner party where she was attacked. Now she’s faced with being dumped again after Jonesy admitted he wanted to leave during the last commitment ceremony! It doesn’t matter what Cheryl does on the show, she just can’t put a foot right. “I’m just trying to find love,” she tells NW, when we head to Queensland…

She no doubt has a long line of eligible bachelors lining up along Hollywood Boulevard to date her. But Charlize Theron seems to have fallen for the one man she can’t have – her married agent! Uh-oh... Yep, NW has learnt that the Oscar-winner has grown “super close” to married father-of-three Ari Emanuel – aka the #inspo for Ari Gold, Jeremy Piven’s abrasive-yet-charming character from Entourage. And while our insider stops short of describing the relationship as an affair, it’s raising eyebrows around Tinseltown all the same. “Charlize is deeply under Ari’s spell,” claims our industry insider. “She is crushing on him – and she doesn’t try to hide it.” It’s easy to see why Charlize, 41, might be smitten with Ari, 55. One of Hollywood’s top dogs and firmly…

To say that Mischa Barton’s had a rough trot lately would be quite the understatement! In January, she suffered a very public meltdown – which she says was the result of being “drugged” – and landed herself in the psych ward... again. Then, just weeks later, Mischa, 31, hit headlines again after smashing a rented U-Haul truck – which contained all of her worldly belongings – into the side of a West Hollywood apartment block she’s said to be moving to. Talk about crashing out of control... literally! But now, in a desperate bid to salvage what’s left of her reputation – and to score a much-needed pay cheque, no doubt – sources say the former O.C. star is planning on writing a tell-all about her time in Tinseltown. And…

HAILEE STEINFELD Hailee added an extra dose of metallics to her Oscars look by painting her talons with essie Buy Me A Cameo polish. CHRISSY TEIGEN Jen Atkin – master of celebrity hair styles – used her own OUAI Haircare brand to create Chrissy’s chic chignon.

KARLIE KLOSS Hair guru Giannandrea Marongiu created “wonderful waves” for Karlie using “the perfect hair products” from L’Oréal Paris. OLIVIA CULPO Sir John – best known for working with Beyonce – is the make-up artist behind Liv’s “lavender smoked eyes”.…

We’ve come a long way since the giant ape first hit the big screen in 1933, because the damsel-in-distress theme you got in previous King Kong films has been given the boot in Kong: Skull Island. And the shift suits leading lady Brie Larson just fine! “We’re in an interesting time when we’re interested in seeing something different,” she says. “I’ve seen women who have found their way to continue to be feminine but still exert a sense of force and a sense of strength and that’s important to me.” She certainly holds her own as Mason Weaver, a risk-taking photojournalist who winds up fighting for survival alongside ex-soldier James Conrad, played by Tom Hiddleston, who bulked up big-time for the role. “I was trained by a US Navy SEAL…

ZARA LARSSON We’ve been low-key dying for Zara’s second album So Good ever since she released the title single featuring Ty Dolla $ign in January. And if you’re the kind of person who has trouble making it through the day without a boppy beat on repeat in your head, this album might just be the antidote. So Good is out Mar 17 IRON FIST Following Marvel’s Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, Iron Fist is the final piece in the puzzle leading to The Defenders crossover miniseries.

TRUE “It’s both contemporary and rustic,” the model says of her digs. “Nothing’s too precious about it... It’s glamorous and fabulous, but real.” TRUE “I couldn’t smile before that,” the actress reveals. “I thought I looked stupid when I smiled.” Never! FALSE She’d be devo if she missed it! “It’s two hours every Monday night,” the Girls star says. “I make time.”…

While it’s a far cry from the curly red locks Nicole Kidman sported back in the late ’80s – hello, huge hair! – the star went back to her ringlet roots, sort of, at Florida’s Magic Kingdom Park on February 20. And while we like the new curls, we couldn’t help noticing her permed locks remind us of a few things.. A POODLE! Did Nic take this pooch pic to her hairdresser for some #styleinspo? TIM DORMER! The actress looks like a platinum version of former Big Brother winner Tim Dormer. Awks! 2-MINUTE NOODLES! Sorry Nic, but it’s gotta be said – your natural mop resembles a block of two-minute noodles! #harshbuttrue…

She dropped off the radar following her split from Sasha Mielczarek in December, but Sam Frost made a triumphant return to the spotlight last week. The former Bachelorette star hit up the 2017 Sydney Carnival launch at the city’s Royal Randwick Racecourse on February 28, once again turning heads with her petite frame. “I mean she looked great, but she’s so tiny right now,” says one fellow attendee. “She seemed happy.” Indeed, while the radio host may have cut a slimmer figure – the result of stress and a busy 2016 – Sam insists she’s optimistic about life after Sash, 31, who she dated for 18 months. “I have my fingers crossed, because you have to have that attitude,” she said last week. “You have to dust your knees off…

They parted ways more than a year ago, but Khloe Kardashian came under attack last week from her ex James Harden. “I feel like [the attention] was for no reason,” the NBA player, 27, dishes of their eight-month romance. “I wasn’t getting anything out of it except my name out there and my face out there, and I don’t need that.” But it seems James only has himself to blame, given KoKo, 32, revealed last year that he was the one who sought her out. “He wanted to be committed... then wasn’t committed,” she spilled.…

Hollywood’s go-to guy for blockbusters like Titanic, Twister and Apollo 13, actor Bill Paxton passed away suddenly on February 25 – sending his fans and peers into mourning. Bill, who suffered a fatal stroke following heart surgery, aged 61, was remembered as a “funny, talented, loving human” and a “wonderful man” by his former co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis, 58, and Tom Hanks, 60. Following the sad news, it was revealed that Bill – who leaves behind his wife Louise, 52, and children James, 23, and Lydia, 19 – was nervous about his surgery, emailing his Edge Of Tomorrow director Doug Liman, “Thanks for the good wishes. It will help me face this ordeal.” So sad.…

She normally steers well clear of catfights, but Meryl Streep last week found herself in a huge spat with Chanel’s head designer and creative director Karl Lagerfeld. Yep, the style legend suggested to fashion site Women’s Wear Daily that the Florence Foster Jenkins star was set to wear one of his couture creations to the Oscars, but ditched the dress at the last minute after another label offered to pay for the privilege of dressing her. “A genius actress, but cheapness also, no?” he mused. Karl, 83, quickly backtracked on his comments, claiming they’d been misinterpreted, but Meryl, 67, slammed him in a scathing statement accusing him of eclipsing “the occasion of my record-breaking 20th nomination”. “He defamed me, my stylist and the illustrious designer whose dress I chose to…

Spotted – former Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley tying the knot with singer Domino Kirke in a low-key courthouse ceremony in Brooklyn, New York on February 27. “Married,” the bride, 34, wrote next to a sweet Instagram snap of her and Penn, 30, at their flower-filled reception, which was attended by their nearest and dearest. But while Domino – who has son Cassius, eight, from a previous relationship – stuck with tradition in her white lace gown, her guests were a little more relaxed with the dress code. Case in point? Her sister, Girls star Jemima Kirke, 31, rocked up in jeans. Ah, never change, Jem! Their younger sister, Gone Girl actress Lola Kirke, 26, defended her choice of casual threads, writing on social media, “When someone gets married in…

‘LOSING HIS MUM WAS A HUGE WAKE-UP CALL’ ‘HE KNOWS SCIENTOLOGY WAS THEIR BIGGEST PROBLEM’ Despite reports to the contrary, Tom Cruise insists he’s a family man first and foremost. “I love my work, but my family is very important to me, too,” he once said. “[My kids] know I’m there. No matter what, I’m always there.” So it’s perhaps understandable that, following the passing of his beloved mother Mary Lee South last month, the father-of-three is re-evaluating his own life – and, specifically, his relationship with ex-wife Katie Holmes and their daughter Suri. Almost five years after their shock divorce, Tom is now pleading with Katie to be a family again. And she’s seriously considering it! Yep, an insider tells NW that Tom, 54, reached out to Katie after…

With her breakup anthems helping mend broken hearts the world over, Adele has risen to become one of the most adored celebs on the planet. But behind the success, the singer has suffered years of family drama and heartache – and she’s still haunted by her painful past to this day. Yep, Adele – who kicked off her Aussie tour in Perth last week – is now copping flak from relatives for keeping her recent wedding to long-term partner Simon Konecki, 42, a secret. Indeed, we’re told they only found out she’d tied the knot over Christmas when she later called the entrepreneur “my husband” during a Grammys acceptance speech last month. “Adele and Simon have a big family, but some of those closest to them weren’t aware of any…

They’ve barely been dating two months, but Selena Gomez just can’t keep her hands off her new man The Weeknd – so much so that she’s pushing for him to move in with her already! “Selena feels like he is the best thing to happen to her in a long time,” an insider tells NW. “She knows what she wants... And it’s so clear to all her friends that she’s head over heels.” Indeed, Sel seems unable to go a day without being by The Weeknd’s side, even joining the singer on the European leg of his global Starboy: Legend of the Fall Tour in recent weeks. She was spotted cheering him on at his gig in Amsterdam on February 24, before heading to Paris Fashion Week four days later…

IN NEW TRAINER LIBBY BABET “It’s obviously big shoes for Libby to fill [with Michelle Bridges gone], but I think she’s one hell of a trainer.” NEW PSYCHOLOGISTS & DIETITIANS “This year is totally different – there is an episode every week with a psychologist and there are eps based around nutrition.” TRAINER TEMPERS “[I lose it] when the contestants fib about how many [reps] they’ve done. I have the corner of my eye watching them, and I’ll go, ‘You didn’t do 10,’ and they’ll go, ‘Oh, yes I did.’” THE SMALLEST CONTESTANT EVER “She started at under 80kg which, for us, is tiny – mind-blowing.” FAILS... SO MANY FAILS “There’s definitely still people falling off treadmills, there’s definitely still people throwing up and there’s definitely still people crying.” OUT…

‘I’M STRUGGLING JUST TO GET THROUGH THE DAYS. I FEEL ISOLATED’ ‘Everyone, when they start growing up, realises, ‘Man, I did some dumb s**t when I was younger.’ It’s not just me... If I could go back, I wouldn’t really change much. I think it’s all my journey – the stuff that made me who I am,” Justin Bieber reasoned last year. The pop star then headed out on his Purpose Tour, where he proceeded to punch a fan in the face from inside a moving vehicle, sneeze on Beliebers in the front row of a concert and toss another fan’s gift out a car window. It’s no wonder, then, that when it comes to JB, you either love him or hate him – it’s tricky to have a foot…

She’s a regular fixture on magazine covers and catwalks the world over, but Bella Hadid could soon be swapping couture capes for those of the superhero variety. Yep, speaking to Women’s Wear Daily recently, the supermodel reveals she’d love to shift gears and give acting a shot some day. And her dream first role? “I think I want to be, like, a superhero,” she says. Well, we guess being really, really, ridiculously good looking is a superpower! Kinda...…
