You don’t always have to love a Hollywood A-lister to have total respect for what they’ve done. Take Kris Jenner, for example – no matter how I feel about her, there’s no denying her rags-to-riches life is a modern wonder. Find out how she became the mumager she is today and changed the face of reality TV as we know it (page 34). Another star I have ambiguous feelings for is Tay-Tay, but I find myself excited to have her back –and even admit I’ve missed her! Read all the goss on her new album and squad on page 20. Still, it’ll only take a few staged PDA pics with boyf Joe – wearing a cringe-worthy “I Heart T.S” singlet! – to get me longing for the time she was…

Last year was undoubtedly a rough ride for Sam Frost. Indeed, after copping criticism for the 2DayFM show she hosted with Rove McManus – which has now been axed – the OG Aussie Bachelorette star suffered an on-air breakdown last July, later admitting she’d started being treated for depression by a psychologist. Then, to really cap things off, her 18-month relationship with her Bachie love Sasha Mielczarek ended on bitter terms last December. But eight months on, the bubbly blonde, 28, has come out the other side – with 2017 shaping up to be her best year ever! “She’s in a really great place, which is amazing to see after her struggles,” a source says of the Hell’s Kitchen star, who was spied packing on the PDA with her hunky…

The last 12 months were undoubtedly Taylor Swift’s annus horribilis (to borrow a phrase from Queen Lizzie!). After copping backlash for her showmance with Tom Hiddleston, then getting branded a snake by her arch rival Kim Kardashian, the singer, 27, went underground, hoping to ride out her scandals away from the public eye. But now Tay-Tay’s back with a vengeance – and a brand new sound! Uh-huh, the first sign she was re-emerging came after she wiped all her social media accounts clean on August 18, with many speculating she was paving the way for a comeback – and they were right! Days after her social-media cleansing, the Grammy-winner posted three mysterious snake videos on Instagram, before announcing she’d be dropping her sixth album Reputation on November 10 – her…

During her hiatus, Tay managed to fall in love with British actor Joe Alwyn, 26, away from the public gaze – quite a feat, considering Hiddleswift was such a spectacle. But while fans have been hanging out to see them finally go public following Tay’s return to the spotlight, we’re told there’s little chance of a big red-carpet debut – and it’s Joe who’s putting his foot down, as he’s seen what being labelled “Mr Swift” did to Tom’s rep. “[Joe] wants to be taken seriously as an actor. If things go south, he could become the biggest laughing stock in Hollywood,” says a source.…

He’s better known for his babes than getting broody over babies. But Gary “Gaz” Beadle was nevertheless over the moon last week when he announced that he and on-off girlfriend Emma McVey are expecting! “I love kids and literally can’t wait for this new adventure,” the Geordie Shore lad captioned an Insty pic of himself hugging Emma and holding a pair of baby booties. “Literally no words SOOOO HAPPY!!!” But his exciting news has been a pretty bitter pill for his ex Charlotte Crosby to swallow. Indeed, the reality star broke down while talking about Gaz’s news on morning TV show Ireland AM on August 23. When the hosts said to Char, “It’s got to be a difficult thing for you,” she tearfully replied, “Yeah.” But it’s understandable that Char’s…

She says... “I think Elise is the new Nikki Gogan – they’re trying to brainwash us with how much Matty likes Elise all of a sudden! And they’re setting us all up to fall in love with her and then he’ll dump her at the finale. It was too much, listening to him talk about her. Something is not right – or she might win and Laura will become the Bachelorette. How about Matty rocking up on a camel to take Tara out? Embarrassing – the budget has obviously gone down the toilet. And how about Tara’s form? It reminds me of Isla Fisher’s character in Wedding Crashers – you know, ‘Don’t ever leave me, ’cos I’ll find you.’ To Matty, she’s like, ‘You’re going to stay with me forever,…

They enjoyed some quality mother-daughter time in the New York sunshine on August 17, but Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise’s cosy two-peas-in-a-pod existence is about to get a major shake-up. NW has learnt that Suri’s dad Tom Cruise is eager to become an active part of his youngest child’s life now that she’s approaching her impressionable teens. “Tom’s really starting to regret the years he’s wasted not being there for Suri,” an insider says of the actor, who – aside from a five-day trip to London with her in July last year – has reportedly spent next to no time with Suri, 11, since September 2013. “He’s missed out on so many milestones and he wants to start rebuilding his relationship with her before it’s too late.” And it seems…

The buzz on Kate It seems 2017 is the year of closely cropped noggins! Following in the footsteps of Kristen Stewart and Cara Delevingne, Kate Hudson is the latest celeb to pull out the ol’ clippers, shaving her locks for her role in Sister, a film written and directed by Aussie singer Sia. Filming scenes in LA’s MacArthur Park, Kate takes a break to watch the US solar eclipse with co-star Maddie Ziegler. Priorities, gals! Lara’s in the market for kids! Another day, another gorgeous flowing outfit on Lara Worthington – and it once again has us wondering whether she’s hiding baby number three under there! Yep, the Aussie model is glowing in the LA summer sun as she hits up the Studio City Farmers Market with sons Rocket and…

Spring may be on its way, but it’s still a winter wonderland in the NSW Snowy Mountains! A cruisy 2.5-hour drive from Canberra or a one-hour flight from Sydney (to Cooma), the iconic region is picture-perfect all year round. But visit between the months of June and October and see it really come to life. The four alpine resorts – Charlotte Pass, Selwyn Snow Resort, Perisher and Thredbo Alpine Village – are all conveniently located within Kosciuszko National Park. So whether you’re an avid snowboarder, skier or tuber, there are activities for every ski bunny! A good place to start? Checking in to Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa ( lakecrackenback. com.au ), which offers pure luxury nestled in the foothills of the Thredbo Valley. Yep, piste-heads,…

Hey, Ansel Elgort – Pikachu called and he wants his look back! Yep, the Baby Driver paid tribute to the iconic Pokémon character by rocking a novelty hoodie during a recent trip to Tokyo. “Wore this all day... and didn’t get any funny looks,” he wrote on Instagram last week. Well, duh – Japan is the home of Pikachu!…

On May 1 and 8, 2017, we published articles about singer Mel B, her former husband Mr Belafonte and their former nanny Lorraine Gilles. Unfortunately, we mistakenly published a picture of Ms Lauren McCartney, Mel B’s Australian nanny, and not, as we intended, Ms Gilles. As a result, readers would have thought that things that we said about Ms Gilles were about Ms McCartney. NW Magazine accepts that Ms McCartney is a well-respected nanny in Australia and overseas, as well as a professional PR manager, corporate hostess and brand manager to many well-known Australian and international brands. NW Magazine unreservedly apologises to Ms McCartney for the hurt and embarrassment caused by the error.…

Chris & Anna THEIR DIVORCE IS ON HOLD! There might still be a glimmer of hope for the estranged couple... Our hearts shattered into a million pieces when Chris Pratt and Anna Faris announced on August 6 that they were calling time on their seemingly blissful eight-year marriage. But we’re ready to glue those pieces back together – because the couple are said to have pressed pause on divorce proceedings to give their relationship a second shot! Uh-huh, a source tells US mag Life & Style that Anna and Chris have attended couple’s counselling for the first time, in a last-ditch attempt to salvage their marriage. “They have committed to it. They are trying to keep the pressure low by doing it out of the spotlight, but there is still…

BUB NO.2 FOR ROSE & BOBBY! Rose Byrne and her long-time love Bobby Cannavale are expecting their second baby! The Aussie actress has confirmed the happy news by debuting her bump in David Jones’s JONES magazine. “I’m a little tired but feeling good,” she tells the publication. Rose, 38, and Bobby, 47 – who started dating in 2012 – are already parents to 19-month-old son Rocco. Congrats, guys! JESSE’S NASTY CUSTODY BATTLE Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams, 36, has responded to reports his estranged wife Aryn Drake-Lee is asking for sole custody of their kids, Sadie, three, and Maceo, 23 months, following their split in April. “These are matters for the court to decide,” his rep said recently, responding to Aryn’s claim the actor had been a distant father. “Jesse…

Three months ago, Miley Cyrus skirted around the question she’s been asked so many times – when will she and fiancé Liam Hemsworth finally start a family? “I love pigs more than kids, to be honest,” the singer told an LA radio show in May. “I just want to keep getting as many dogs as possible... [But] I don’t pick up the poop, so I don’t get to decide when we get another dog, apparently.” Now, NW has learnt there’s a very good reason why Miley, 24, swiftly changed the subject from human to fur babies – she didn’t want to let slip that she’s already pregnant! “Miley isn’t screaming it from the rooftops just yet, but she’s in the early stages and couldn’t be happier,” spills our insider, adding…

It’s no coincidence that Tay’s new album is called Reputation when, not so long ago, hers was on the line. ICYMI, in February last year, Kanye West released his song Famous, which contained the controversial lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that b***h famous.” A rep for Tay then denied Ye’s claim that she was cool with it, insisting, “Kanye did not call for [lyric] approval.” But Tay was left red-faced when Kim, 36, released videos of Kanye discussing the lyrics with Taylor over the phone. The singer later admitted to approving the sex line, but added, “Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that b***h’?” Now, Tay’s set on taking Kimye down, and it…

Tay heralded her big comeback by sharing three Insty vids of a snake slithering across the screen – clearly a reference to Kim slamming her with snake references last year in the wake of the Famous scandal. Not only did the hashtag #TaylorIsASnake begin trending online, but Kimye’s followers also trolled Tay’s social accounts with the snake emoji. However, it seems the tables have turned, with Tay’s army of Swifties flooding Kim’s Twitter with a sea of snake emojis. Hmm... Was that the plan all along, Tay “Rest in peace,” one fan teased, alongside a parade of serpents. But Kim – who’s since blocked the emoji from her Insty comments – may not be Tay’s only target, with whispers the snakes could be aimed at Katy.…

It’s not exactly hard to fall in love with The Bachelor’s Matthew “Matty J” Johnson – those abs, those eyes, those curls! And when the series standout, Bondi babe Laura Byrne, tells NW that’s exactly what’s happening to her, all those memories of him looking crushed when Georgia Love dumped him on The Bachelorette finale last year vanish from our minds. So far, Laura, 31, has only been on one official solo date with the stud, 30, but it seems she’s already secured the title of Matty’s favourite. And their early chemistry is enough for her to know Matty could be The One. “I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve – I wouldn’t say that is how I am,” she explains. “But I think, at this point, I was…

‘ALL SHE WANTS IS TO START A FAMILY’ Cameron Diaz has long hoped that she’ll be one day lucky enough to experience motherhood – and she isn’t too fussed as to how it comes about. “I don’t know what’s going to happen. I could end up adopting half a dozen kids… Who frickin’ knows?” Cam said back in 2009. Three years later, she drove the point home, revealing, “I am totally looking forward to my own family... I want my own kids, if I am so lucky, or through adoption.” But after several failed IVF attempts with hubby-of-two-and-a-half-years Benji Madden, and no movement on the adoption front, the desperate actress, 45, has decided to take a different path. Yep, Cam’s turning to her besties Drew Barrymore and Nicole Richie, in…

1 DID HAILEY FINALLY GET HER VS WINGS? She’s made no secret of wanting to walk the coveted Victoria’s Secret runway, gushing last December, “It’s every girl’s dream.” And looks like 2017 might just be the year Hailey Baldwin ticks that goal off her bucket list. The model, 20, was all smiles as she left a casting call for the lingerie brand in New York on August 21, with an onlooker spilling, “If you ask me, the way she was acting definitely seemed to indicate things had gone well.” Well, with that ripped rig of hers, there’s no denying Hails fits the VS mould. And if being one of the models of the moment isn’t enough to secure her a spot, perhaps her besties, VS regulars Kendall Jenner and sisters…

HOT Jodi Anasta It may not be summer yet, but Jodi’s giving us serious beachsidebrunch vibes in this gorgeous print-clashing Asilio World outfit. She frames the primary colours with equally bold accessories – and a classic red lip, natch! HOT Alessandra Ambrosio When it comes to fashion, the model rarely puts a foot – or, in this case, a chunky black boot – wrong! Alé dresses up a Springsteen-worthy combo of denim, a plaid shirt and classic white tee with a Saint Laurent tote and Blue Steel gaze. Fierce! HOT Lucy Mecklenburgh What’s hotter than this former The Only Way Is Essex star’s sizzling ensemble? Well, as much as we love the rich colour, asymmetrical ruffles and gorgeous lace detail, the most impressive thing about this PrettyLittleThing x Olivia Culpo…

It’s still more than a year away, with the eighth and final season of Game Of Thrones set to screen late 2018 or early 2019 in the form of six mindblowing feature-length episodes (why make us wait so long?!). But with the show’s storylines long having overtaken the novels, we can only predict how the most-watched TV show ever will pan out. Ugh, where’s future-seeing priestess Melisandre (Carice Van Houten) when you need her?! So will King In The North Jon Snow (Kit Harington) claim the Iron Throne? Will Mother Of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) become a Mad Queen and perish? Will brother-and-sister lovers Cersei (Lena Headey) and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) live happily ever after (ew!)? With author George RR Martin whispering storylines in the showrunners’ ears and promising…

It’s lucky we just can’t get enough of female-led The Hangover-style comedies, because hot on the heels of Rough Night comes Girls Trip – a racy flick about close friends Ryan (Regina Hall), Sasha (Queen Latifah), Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Dina (Tiffany Haddish) on one seriously loose ladies-only vacay. Don’t know what “grapefruiting” is? Well, you’ll know all about the oral-sex technique after watching – and it seems the cast had a tough time keeping a straight face about it. “There were so many times that Tiffany decided she was gonna go for it,” director Malcolm D. Lee says of her comic improv skills. “I didn’t know how she was going to handle the grapefruiting technique. We thought she should demonstrate it and not just talk about it. We…

The gloves are on This actor from a hit US TV show is all sorts of weird when it comes to fetishes. Word is he likes to put a glove on before getting down and dirty. And by that, we mean a surgical glove! Baby plan An A-list singer wants to get out of touring so badly that she’s pushing for her boyfriend to knock her up so she can cancel the gigs and get an insurance payout! That’s one way to ensure the show doesn’t go on... Pill popper This Oscar-winner’s shopping list reads like a pharmacy’s entire inventory, thanks to the fact 10 different doctors have written prescriptions for her. Eek! Sex with benefits A Real Housewife from the US northeast – think New York, New Jersey, Potomac…

If you have some cash to splash and feel like a change of scenery, perhaps we can interest you in renting out Pamela Anderson’s Malibu pad? The former Baywatch babe recently put her $8.8 million property up for rent for $63,000 per month. No biggie, just our yearly salary gone in one hit! But it’s worth every cent. The sunny, three-bedroom, three-bathroom oasis is split across two separate structures, with a swimming pool between them. Bliss! So why has she moved out? Well, with Pammy in Europe half the time to be closer to her rumoured lover Julian Assange, the place is pretty much empty, ready for anyone to move right on in. BRB, off to sell a kidney... Home improvement The property’s value has skyrocketed since Pammy bought it…

“I’m having too much fun laying on the couch.” So that’s why Matt LeBlanc turned down the role of Phil Dunphy on Modern Family. Er, any regrets there, Matt? “I definitely wanted Speidi. At least [as] a middle name!” It’s probably a good thing Heidi Montag nixed hubby Spencer Pratt’s preferred baby name! “I always order some kind of fried chicken. It never lets me down!” Life’s finger-lickin’ good for Bella Hadid! But always? We’re calling bullschnitzel!…

1 week to go TAME YOUR BROWS Get your face-framers in tiptop shape early, just in case you’ve got super sensitive skin! Doing it a week out from race day means breakouts, redness and tinting dilemmas have time to subside. On the day, use a brow gel – they boast serious staying power and will keep brows slick and in place all day. LENGTHEN YOUR LASHES Don’t reach for the mascara. Eyelash extensions are ideal for hot race days – no panda eyes here! They also save time in your make-up routine and cause peepers to pop! Just remember to be super gentle when cleansing, and stick to micellar water over foaming or oil cleansers. 3 days to go GO FUZZ-FREE For silky-smooth pins, book a waxing appointment – or…

Bows A soft pastel fabric bow or ribbon means your hair doesn’t need to do all the talking. Slick your strands back into a high bun, before wrapping your ribbon around it and tying in a knot – this will keep the attention on your hair accessory. If you want to showcase more of your locks, choose a loose, low ponytail. Pull pieces out around the sides to frame your face before tying a bow around your hair tie. Delicates For a subtle approach that still packs a punch, go for jewels and delicate metal finishes. Loose, flowing waves or a soft updo looks best with ornate headpieces. For loose waves, use a flat iron to create subtle bends, starting from your ear, to frame your face as they fall.…

Back in 2001, Britney Spears showed off a ridiculously ripped rig while performing at the MTV Video Music Awards – holding a 2m-long Burmese python, no less! Sooo iconic! Fast-forward 16 years and not much has changed! Sure, she’s ditched the snake, but the mum-of-two’s still serving up serious body goals, taking to Insty last week to show off her fit physique during a workout sesh. Hello, sixpack! “Daily exercise is important for me both mentally and physically,” Brit says. Well, if that doesn’t kick our butts into gear for summer, we don’t know what will!…

AMY CHILDS & CRAIG DAVID: MOST RANDOM COUPLE EVER?! It seems Amy Childs is Craig David’s flava! The former TOWIE star recently got her flirt on with the singer while in Ibiza, Spain – and they even swapped digits! What’s more, Amy – who was dumped by her ex Bradley Wright in April, six weeks after giving birth to their daughter Polly – is said to be open to meeting up with Craig back in the UK. FRANCO: ‘I WAS BURNT OUT’ From actor to director, author, and PhD student, we’re exhausted just thinking about the many hats James Franco wears. So it’s hardly surprising that he reveals in a new GQ interview to having “a moment of crisis” last November when his workaholic ways caught up with him. “I…

It’s a no-brainer – you just don’t mess with a mamma-to-be whose hormones are raging! So we’re hardly surprised by reports that Miley “absolutely hit the roof” when she discovered Liam was looking to star in another movie with his Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence. After all, the actress has confessed to hooking up with Liam during his two-year split from Miley. “Liam’s real hot,” J-Law told host Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live in 2015. “What would you have done?” You make a good point there, J-Law!…

After feuding with Tay for years, Katy Perry’s been publicly grovelling in recent months, in a bid to end the Bad Blood between them once and for all. But just last week, Katy, 32, admitted she still hasn’t heard from Tay, saying, “I’d love for the beef to end. I’d love to take it off the barbecue… but I haven’t heard anything of it.” So is Tay ever going to put it behind her? After all, now that Katy’s penned Swish Swish in response to Tay’s diss track Bad Blood, you’d think they’d be even, but it seems Tay might have more to say on the matter when her album drops. Bring on Reputation! “I don’t like your little games Don’t like your tilted stage The role you made me…

Since emerging victorious from her sexual assault lawsuit against DJ David Mueller on August 14, Taylor has vowed to fight for women’s rights. “My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard,” she announced once the trial concluded. As such, while her former squad members were mostly supermodels and pop stars – think Karlie Kloss and Selena Gomez – Tay’s apparently now hard at work recruiting a new group of “strong female celebrities”. In fact, Lena Dunham, 31, is the only original squad sister still standing – and she’s set to be joined by Kesha, 30. “[Taylor] really wants to do her best to help other women,” a source tells In Touch mag. “The more celebrities she can get on board, the more influence her squad will…

After admitting she’s been knocking back a few too many cocktails, Chrissy Teigen’s giving them up for good. “I was point-blank drinking too much,” says Mrs John Legend, revleaing that there’s a history of alcohol abuse in her family and admitting she can never “have just one drink”. “I got used to being in hair and make-up and having a glass of wine. Then that glass of wine would carry over into me having one before the awards show. And then a bunch at the awards show. And then I felt bad for making kind of an ass of myself to people that I really respected... You feel horrible.” But morning-after regret isn’t the only thing that has her on the wagon. After struggling to conceive for nine years before…

It’s emblazoned across the back of her bathrobe and she’s even taken steps to trademark it, so it’s safe to say that Kris Jenner is pretty proud of her “momager” title. “I can book those girls every day of the week somewhere,” she once boasted of her famous daughters Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie. Kris, 61, reckons her klan’s reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians “just worked… like a perfect storm”, ultimately leading to their takeover of popular culture. But those who knew the young Kris claim she’s always been ambitious, firmly fixing her sights on making it big, even as a dirt-poor schoolgirl in San Diego. Indeed, in the latest tell-all about reality TV’s first family, The Kardashians: An American Drama author Jerry Oppenheimer says Kris started…

Kaia Gerber September 3, 2001 Cindy Crawford’s mini-me Kaia may be new to the dating game, but she and her fellow Virgos will be feeling the urge to keep matters of the heart fun and free this week.

‘I’M COMING INTO MY OWN – I’M TRUSTING MYSELF’ Call her what you want – diva, queen bee, destroyer of donuts (never forget!) – but Ariana Grande will only argue that you’re wrong... The ponytailed pop star has been slapped with her fair share of negative labels over the years – hey, when you give Mariah Carey a run for her money by demanding to only be photographed from one side, you’re bound to face criticism! But following the Manchester leg of her Dangerous Woman Tour in May, when her show became the target of a terrorist attack resulting in the loss of 22 lives and dozens of injuries, there’s only one label that suits Ariana now – hero. In the days following the tragedy, the pop princess suspended her…

They’ve been feuding for as long as we can remember, but Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey have been forced to share the spotlight – as cover girls for Paper magazine’s Las Vegas issue. We can’t imagine that went down too well! J.Lo’s all boobs, bling and bravado for her sexy showgirl shoot, boasting to the mag that she holds nothing back during her Sin City residency shows. “The name of the show is All I Have so I can’t be like, ‘Tonight, you’re getting half,’” she tells the mag. Ouch! Was that a dig at Mimi, whose lacklustre dance skills have drawn criticism lately? Play nice, ladies...…

LOBSTER Feeling a bit nippy, Lady Gaga? The star finds inspo in the pincered crustacean on stage in Vancouver, Canada on August 1, as part of her Joanne World Tour. We hope the audience called for an en-claw! OCTOPUS Talk about legs for days! Gaga’s gave a nod to Ursula from The Little Mermaid in the tentacle-tastic ensemble she wore on stage in Las Vegas in 2014. We bet it set her back a few squid, too! MERMAID Flowing locks? Check!
