Oops, Britney Spears is doing the whole bridal thing again! The singer last week sparked talk she’s heading back to the altar – this time with her hunky boyfriend Sam Asghari – after she posted an Instagram pic of herself wearing what looked to be a massive engagement ring! As we went to print, Brit, 35, was yet to officially announce that Sam, 23, had popped the question, but their seven-month relationship was always going to result in marriage – and sooner rather than later! “Brit’s been telling a few of her closest friends that she and Sam pretty much consider themselves engaged,” a friend of the singer recently told NW. And despite having two failed marriages under her belt, the mum-of-two has always believed her fairytale ending was still…

Their relationship has been moving at lightning speed, but Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez have hit one hell of a hurdle. Just three months after she started dating the former New York Yankees baseballer, poor J.Lo is having to deal with shock claims that he’s been cheating on her from the very beginning! Lauren Hunter, a former fitness instructor and mum-of-three, tells US Star magazine that she’s been secretly hooking up with A-Rod on and off for the last six years – and they’ve been continuing their affair behind J.Lo’s back. “I think [she’s] going to be shocked,” Lauren, 34, tells the mag. “And I don’t believe he’s sexually attracted to Jennifer. I feel like their relationship is more like a contract.” Ouch! What’s more, in a series of recent…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last two decades, you’d know that the term metrosexual isn’t a new one. Coined to describe the heterosexual men of the ’90s who took excessive pride in their appearance, fashion and grooming, its popularity really took off in the early noughties, thanks to preened-to-perfection stars like David Beckham and Jude Law. But being “metro” no longer simply involves moisturising, toting a man bag and pulling on pastel designer duds. Nup, today’s new breed of metro blokes are bingeing on everything from Botox to bronzer and brow-tattooing in order to stay picture perfect. However, according to NW’s cosmetic surgery experts, many of these men – famous fellas included – are edging into serious waxwork territory. In fact, some of them are just…

HOT Hailey Baldwin The model of the moment gets it right in white, pairing a gorgeous Cushnie et Ochs frock with fun, fluffy Brother Vellies shoes and matching bag. Flashing flesh in all the right places – while rocking warm make-up tones and a relaxed pony – keeps the vibe playful. And H-O-T! HOT Diane Kruger Running the risk of blending into the background pays off for Di, who oozes sophistication in a head-turning Monse maxi that strikingly mirrors the cobalt-blue carpet. It’s a massive thumbs-up from us! HOT Kate Bosworth Spring doesn’t seem too far away at all now that we’re soaking up Kate’s sweet floral look. The actress’s Brock Collection frock hugs her svelte frame perfectly, while the gold finish of her Aquazzura heels and Edie Parker clutch…

Adriana Lima driana June 12, 1981 According to the cosmos, the Brazilian model needs to live life in the moment this week – as do her fellow Geminis! Gemini MAY 22 – JUNE 21 While they can predict how you might feel from one day to the next, the planets can’t actually prevent downbeat moods. Only you are capable of doing that. Fretting about things that haven’t happened yet is pointless. Try to live in the moment and count all the blessings you’ve got. Cancer JUNE 22 – JULY 23 Your planet of spirituality, Mercury, wants you to travel further afield for the answers to your questions. No-one in your immediate vicinity can help, so you need to meet new people (in exotic locations perhaps!) and tackle your…

Props to Kiwi songwriter Lorde, who’s stepped out of bestie Taylor Swift’s shadow to release new album Melodrama. Well, OK, she did pinch Tay’s regular collaborator Jack Antonoff – yep, Lena Dunham’s fella – to co-produce with her, but that’s it. And despite the concept album telling the story of a single house party, it took a whole 18 months to record – and it wasn’t easy! “If you change a breath on a vocal take, she’ll notice, and she’ll like it or she’ll hate it,” Jack explains. “This particular album was an intense journey. I think that’s what it had to be.” But while the single Green Light is a little more upbeat than her past work, Lorde promises she hasn’t strayed too far from the sound that put…

Gee, thanks for the spoiler, Rachel Lindsay! Only four weeks in, the US Bachelorette star seems to have given the game away by posting a video of herself partying with a dude who looks a hell of a lot like the season frontrunner, model and personal trainer Peter Kraus! So given that it’s been confirmed lawyer Rach, 31, is now engaged, is there any point in watching now? Well, sources tell TMZ the bloke in the background is in fact Rachel’s mate and not Peter, but even if it is him, we’re not too devo – as he’s our pick for the win!…

Victoria dishes: ‘Lisa’a been fired!’ After boasting about how she had a hand in recruiting Kyle Sandilands’ girlfriend Imogen Anthony for Season Two of The Real Housewives Of Sydney, Lisa Oldfield (below) could be headed for the door! Yep, Victoria Rees (left) hints that Lisa’s getting the boot, telling NW with a smile, “I don’t know if she’s coming back.” Ouch! Gina’s epic meltdown! When the RHOS ladies came face to face with Melbourne Housewives Lydia Schiavello, Janet Roach and Gina Liano at a Foxtel event in Sydney last week, the evening turned out to be surprisingly free of drama... Not! It seems Gina took offence when the Sydneysiders invited the Melburnians to kick on for a drink in Double Bay, with an insider spilling, “She stood up and said,…

SHORTY SPICE At just 155cm, Geri Halliwell might be tiny next to 198cm boxing champ Anthony Joshua. But her excitement levels reach new, er, heights as the former Spice Girl greets her giant mate at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards in London. THE BOTTOM LINE The girls from Fifth Harmony – Ally Brooke, Lauren Jauregui, Normani Kordei and Dinah Jane – aren’t merely debuting Down, their first single as a quartet, on Good Morning America in New York. They’re also pulling off a group bend-and-snap that would make Legally Blonde’s Elle Woods proud! DOUBLE TROUBLE Guess who looks JUST like Mum! With her hair tied back in a tight bun following a ballet class in LA, Suri Cruise is the spitting image of Katie Holmes’s old high-school yearbook…

MICHAEL & ALICIA They’ve been super hush-hush about their relationship since they started dating in 2014, but Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander could be about to walk down the aisle. “Michael has come to realise that he’ll never find anyone so perfectly suited to him,” dishes a source close to the couple. OLIVIA & AARON Despite ending things in April after three years together, Olivia Munn is open to getting back together with her NFL-pro ex Aaron Rodgers, as she’s despo to start a family. “Olivia still loves him,” an insider spills. “She’s giving Aaron one more chance to fix things up.” CAREY & MARCUS The low-key couple are already parents to daughter Evelyn, one, but congrats could be in order for Carey Mulligan and her hubby Marcus Mumford, following…

Prince Harry soaking wet? Yes, please! Kind and cute? Prince Harry, you’re breaking our hearts! It might’ve been cold and miserable in Sydney last week, but that didn’t, er, dampen Haz’s spirits – or good looks! – as he launched the official countdown to his 2018 Invictus Games at the Opera House. And if he wasn’t charming enough already, Hazza, 32, planted a kiss on 97-year-old war widow Daphne Dunne, who stood in the downpour for seven hours just to meet him. “He’s worth waiting for – even in the pouring rain,” she told reporters. Agreed!…

IT’S A WRAP He’ll keep them as snug as bugs in a rug, previously boasting, “I know swaddling. I know what I’m in for.” FAMOUS BABYSITTERS He has a “blast” with Julia Roberts’s “monsters” – aka her twins Phinneaus and Hazel – and George is no doubt hoping she’ll step in to babysit Ella and Alexander, so he and Amal can have the odd date night! VISITS TO THE SET Take Your Kids To Work Day is way more common in Hollywood than you might think. “On the [Ocean’s 13] set, everyone had kids,” George recalls.

Six months after completing her 2014 rehab stint, Kesha told Elle UK, “I convinced myself that being sick, being skinny, was part of my job... [But] I feel stronger now. Strong enough to admit that I needed help and strong enough to have faced it head on.” Kesha’s case originally claimed that Dr Luke gave her date rape drugs and assaulted her. “[She] woke up in [his] bed, naked, sore and sick with no memory of how she got there,” read the court docs. Despite her attempts to cut ties with him, her request has been denied by the New York courts, but she’s not giving up. “This lawsuit is so heavy on my once free spirit, and I can only pray to one day feel that happiness again,” she…

1 HAS KYLIE WRITTEN A REVENGE ALBUM? While it was rumoured he’d cheated on her with his No Tomorrow co-star Marta Milans, Kylie Minogue, 49, has so far stayed silent on why she and fiancé Joshua Sasse parted ways in February after just 15 months together. However, it would appear she’s finally ready to dish the dirt – or rather, sing it... According to a source, the Aussie pop princess’s upcoming album will give her fans “fly-on-the-wall access” to what tore her and Josh, 29, apart. And the album’s first single is said to be a ’90s throwback track that’s all about honesty... “She has gone into serious detail... It has helped her make sense of everything,” continues the source. “It was obviously a very tough time, but throwing herself…

It’s not just the peeps at NW HQ who are obsessed with next Aussie Bachelorette Sophie Monk! One superfan, Melbourne real estate agent Adriana Lark, 33, is so convinced she’s the radio personality’s doppelganger that she’s recreating her Insty posts! “I get told I look like Sophie... which led me to start the account,” says Adriana, who’s even put a call out for something called The Back-Up Bachelorette – which involves guys sending her three pics and revealing their fave AFL team and pick-up line! “Maybe I’ll be lucky and find a great fella.” What are you waiting for, boys?…

$137 million The cash Gal Gadot’s new film Wonder Woman raked in Stateside over its opening weekend, making the Patty Jenkins-helmed movie the biggest US opening for a female director ever. 28 The years Queen Elizabeth has been wearing the same pale-pink shade of nail polish.

Life’s just peachy for Iggy Azalea! The Aussie rapper gave us mo’ booty and mo’ bounce while chillaxing aboard a luxe yacht while celebrating her 27th birthday in Los Cabos, Mexico on June 5. But we can’t blame Igs for wanting to flaunt her famous curves, given she revealed in April that she dropped an impressive seven kilos from all the twerking she did in her Mo Bounce music video. BRB, gotta go practise our booty shake.…

“I was dropped on my head a lot as a child.” Cara Delevingne explains why her head’s the perfect shape for a buzz cut. “I am not weirded out by ghosts or spirits. I am basically a witch.” Lorde says she felt the late singer David Bowie’s presence when writing her new album Melodrama. “I definitely have a gross dress with holes in it that I would never wear in LA, but in Austin no-one cares.” Kirsten Dunst relaxes the dress code when visiting her Texan fiancé Jesse Plemons.…

FALSE How can they when they don’t even text? “We call [each other]. That’s just what we’ve always done. We’re old-school,” says Nic. TRUE The pair swapped spit in the 2011 biopic J. Edgar, but big Armie’s only just come clean about little Armie’s reaction! TRUE When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go! The singer found out the hard way at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend festival last month.…

Being one of the most in-demand movie stars on the planet is clearly tiring work for Nicole Kidman. Why? Because the, er, Eyes Wide Shut star is always trying to sneak in 40 winks on the fly! And she’s more than happy to have her co-workers double as a pillow, with the likes of Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning (above), Gwendoline Christie and Elisabeth Moss (below), director Jane Campion (left) and even little Lion co-star Sunny Pawar (right) all falling victim to Nic’s narcoleptic ways of late. But patient hubby Keith Urban knows it’s best to let Nic have her beauty sleep. Snoring wife, happy life, eh?!…

I’ve always been pretty open-minded when it comes to plastic surgery – if you want to get some kind of cosmetic tweak, you do you. I’m not here to judge. But I’ve gotta say, this new Ken-doll look (page 34) just isn’t for me – if only for the pain! I could barely cope when I got my flu shot the other day – so imagine lots of little needles in my face. Um, hell no! But when I ran into The Real Housewives Of Sydney star – and cosmetic injector extraordinaire – Matty Samaei, she put my mind at ease. “Don’t get Botox, dahling – you don’t need it!” she squealed. I was quietly chuffed, although that’s not to say I’m a vision of youthful perfection. “But your sleep…

MS HOLMES IS OFF TO HARVARD! Forget Oscars – the only thing Katie Holmes is hoping to be earning right now is a diploma! The actress, 38, is currently doing a course at Harvard Business School called “The Business Of Entertainment, Media & Sports”, taking to Instagram on June 1 to share a classroom pic of a desk labelled with her name. “I am so thankful and excited to be with so many brilliant people,” she wrote. CELEB SURGERY FILES STOLEN! Uh-oh! The surgery secrets of a bunch of stars could soon be revealed, after 15,000 medical files were stolen from the Rodeo Drive clinic of Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Zain Kadri earlier this month, allegedly by an ex-employee. “She had been taking pictures of patient IDs, patient records,…

For years now, the world has been desperately waiting for the day Jennifer Aniston finally announces she’s pregnant. But the actress has remained cautiously pragmatic when it comes to her baby dreams. “Who knows if it’s going to happen?” she said back in January 2015, just a few months before she tied the knot with hubby Justin Theroux. “It’s been a want. We’re doing our best.” But get ready to uncross those fingers folks, because at long last the Friends fave, 48, is getting into the baby business! Yep, a source close to Jen has confirmed that she and Justin, 45, are secretly expecting their first child via a surrogate. Best. News. Ever! “It was definitely a big decision for them to make... and a decision they didn’t come to…

‘ANGE IS AMAZED THAT BRAD IS STILL ALIVE’ They shocked the world when they announced last September that they were splitting after 12 years and six kids together. But since taking the ensuing custody battle behind closed doors, the drama surrounding Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce seems to have subsided. All that’s about to change, though, thanks to investigative journalist Ian Halperin’s explosive new documentary Broken: The Incredible Story Of Brangelina, which is set to expose even more of the former couple’s scandalous secrets. “[It will be] a real in-depth look at the relationship,” the best-selling author, who’s penned tell-alls on the late Michael Jackson and the Kardashians, tells NW. “[It will look into] why the world was infatuated with them, who they were before the relationship, who they…

You’re reaching for the deeper, darker hues in your wardrobe this chilly season, so why not work the same into your make-up bag? Rich jewel tones are a great alternative to classic black – whether you opt for sapphire, emerald, amethyst or ruby, gemstone shades are dark enough to accentuate your lash line but bright enough to make a statement. Looking to test-drive the trend? For a subtle pop of pigment, simply work the colour into your lower lash line, or if you’re feeling brave, follow Cara’s lead and try a cool coloured cat-eye – just apply a wash of colour to your lid and smoke it out to create a slight wing. Anchor the colour with two coats of black mascara and – voila! – your glam after-dark look…

It’s the finale we’ve all been waiting for – after so much build-up, we’ll finally find out how Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) loses his life. And while all signs point to a road accident after last week’s ep showed him reach for the car keys following a marriage-ending fight with Rebecca (Mandy Moore) – and one too many drinks – we’ve been told to expect the unexpected. “From the very first pitch, this was the ending we talked about for the first season,” explains creator Dan Fogelman. “There are a lot of questions.” We have one... Why would you take Jack away from us?! This Is Us Season One finale airs 8.30pm Wednesday on Ten…

After NW revealed that Aussie Bachie alums Keira Maguire, Courtney Dober and Sam Johnston are heading to the US for Bachelor In Paradise, producers have confirmed a number of cast members. And while our homegrown heroes aren’t on the list, rumour has it that they’ll be intruders! But our fave villain Corinne Olympios – who rose to fame on US Bachelor Nick Viall’s season – is officially in, as is DeMario Jackson, who was booted from Rachel Lindsay’s current season for having a secret girlfriend! And Chad Johnson, who was also rumoured to be signing on? He’s off the market! “I’m totally happy,” he gushes of his new girlfriend. Aw!…
