The countdown to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s May 19 nuptials is officially on! The couple – who won’t be signing a prenup – have sent out their invites (below), and it’s believed Meghan has settled on couture label Ralph & Russo to create her wedding gown. While the luxe brand was founded in the UK, its designers Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo were actually born in Australia! Tellingly, Meg, 36, wore one of their gowns in her engagement photos. As for other deets about the big day, it’s been revealed the couple’s wedding cake will be an organic lemon and elderflower creation. Yum!…

Anna Heinrich’s nuptials to Tim Robards are fast approaching – but the OG Bachelor is shaping up to be quite the wedding day diva! “I’m definitely not a bridezilla... yet,” Anna, 31, tells NW when we caught up with her in Sydney recently. “Tim is a bit of a groomzilla. But only because he wants the last say and so do I! We’re both opinionated and know what we want.” Tim has admitted he’s been a tad OTT when it comes to planning their ceremony, confessing last month that, “I’ve taken a bit of control. [Anna] got really overwhelmed.” And with his proposal to Anna on a river in the Northern Territory’s Kimberly region last May quite the elaborate production – he juggled flying a drone with steering a dinghy!…

The third time may not be the charm for Kim Kardashian. When she and Kanye West welcomed their baby daughter Chicago on January 15, the twice-divorced star apparently had her fingers crossed that her scattered, wild husband would finally mend his ways and become a doting, hands-on dad. Instead, just days later, the rapper jetted to New York, Paris, Belgium and Berlin, leaving Keeks at home to care for their newborn, as well as their eldest kids North, four, and Saint, two, alone. Now it seems Kim has reached her breaking point. Sources say she’s told Kanye that if he doesn’t man up to his daddy duties, she’ll divorce him – and possibly make sure he never sees his children again! “Kim has her hands full with the baby and…

‘BEN’S BUILDING TRUST AND PROVING HIMSELF’ Last November Jennifer Garner admitted that, three years after calling time on her 10-year marriage to Ben Affleck, she still wasn’t “interested in dating” anyone else. “I love Ben... we get along really well,” the Love, Simon star confessed. So when moving trucks were spotted outside Ben’s Pacific Palisades bachelor pad on March 14 and then at Jen’s home in Santa Monica three days later, it immediately sparked speculation of a reunion between the former power couple. Now, insiders confirm to NW that Ben’s cooled things off with his girlfriend Lindsay Shookus – who he went public with in July 2017, following a three-year affair while he was married to Jen – and has moved back in with Jen and their kids. And by…

While Australia witnessed an overnight date on The Bachelor for the very first time last year, via Matty Johnson and Elora Murger, in the US it’s been going on for years! Across the pond, they call it the “Fantasy Suite Date”, where the Bachelor or Bachelorette invites his or her top three contestants to spend the night. But what really goes on behind those closed doors? In her new book Bachelor Nation, author Amy Kaufman finds out who got hot and heavy on camera... and the fall-out! “Iwas like, ‘Uh, could I have set something up like this in college where I could date 27 girls and they’re all cool with it?’” said Lorenzo Borghese, the Italian prince who was the ninth US Bachelor. “It’s kind of like watching boxing,…

‘I’M THE MOST FIT I’VE EVER BEEN’ When most people think of body builders they envisage bulky, masculine figures. But Kim Kardashian’s new shape is slimline – and all woman! The yummy mummy’s rocking her best bod yet, and it’s all thanks to her new trainer and professional bodybuilder Melissa Alcantara. “I’m, like, the most fit I’ve ever been,” says the reality kween, who discovered ab queen Mel, 33, on Insta last year and liked what she saw. Since then, they’ve been working out together like krazy! “Kim told me, ‘I love my body. I love the way it looks and I love my hips,’” reveals Mel. “She just wanted more muscle. She wanted bigger hamstrings, which accentuates the entire leg. And she wants those cut arms and abs!” To…

She’s got 2.3 million Instagram followers, 10.8 million Facebook fans, an empire worth a cool $32 million and was named in Forbes’ top 10 influencers in the world of fitness. Oh, and she just had an adorable baby girl, Mia! Gold Coast personal trainer Emily Skye, 32, chats to NW about getting into shape after baby thanks to her online fitness program (emilyskyefit.com) and her very honest approach to social media... Did you miss working out regularly while you were pregnant? It was one of the things I missed the most! I really did try and stay consistent with my training while I was pregnant, but like many mums will say, often your pregnancy doesn’t go according to your plan. The first trimester was pretty much a write-off – I…

After months of being chained to their keyboards bringing you the latest Hollywood goss and all the action on Married At First Sight, we’ve decided to release the NW-ettes for a well-earned break – but not before they pulled together a bumper Easter double issue to keep you occupied this long-weekend and beyond. Here are a few things to keep you busy while you’re bingeing on choccy eggs... • Bachelor in Paradise! This week we’ve got all the insider goss on our hot new TV obsession – plus an extract from an explosive new Bachelor tell-all book (page 42). • Podcasts!

Not only has Jennifer Lawrence’s first love Nicholas Hoult well and truly moved on from her, but he’s now expecting a child with another woman! Poor J-Law! Indeed, the Brit actor was spied out and about in LA with his new girlfriend Bryana Holly on March 10, and the Playboy pin-up, 24, looked to be showing off a burgeoning baby bump! “Nick couldn’t be happier about becoming a daddy with Bryana,” an insider tells NW. “He’s absolutely besotted with her and knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.” But one person not jumping for joy over the impending bundle of, er, joy is J-Law. The Red Sparrow star – who dated Nick on and off for five years before they split for good in 2014…

MIC STAR SPENCER TO BE A DAD! Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews and model Vogue Williams have more reasons to celebrate. One month after getting engaged, they reveal that they’re expecting their first child. Although being initially “taken aback”, Vogue, 32, and Spencer, 28, are now thrilled with the news. “We were heading down that matrimonial road anyway,” he tells Hello! mag. “So now we feel doubly blessed.” KARLIE INSISTS: ‘I’M STILL TIGHT WITH TAY’ Karlie Kloss insists that, although they haven’t been spotted in public together for some time, she and Taylor Swift, 28, are still friends. Indeed, the New York Times says that during a recent chat with the model, Karlie told them that “the pair continues to be good friends and they talk frequently”. Rumours off…

Just when we thought Kylie Jenner’s lips couldn’t get any bigger, she proves us wrong. The new mum, 20, was sporting her plumpest pout yet while grabbing sushi in LA on March 14. “Her lips were insane, and she wasn’t even making a pout!” says an onlooker. “They’ve never looked this big.” And experts agree! They say it’s probably because Kylie’s had them topped up in recent weeks so they’re still quite swollen. “She’s had very recent injections in her lips and there is still some swelling going on,” Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr McCoy Moretz tells Hollywood Life. “It appears to me that she’s had filler done very recently... that’s why her lip looks that way.” While there are concerns over Kylie injecting fillers so soon after her daughter…

We all know the best way to get over a guy is by getting under another. And that’s exactly what Selena Gomez seems to be doing after jetting Down Under following her most recent split from Justin Bieber. The singer – who reportedly broke things off with Biebs due to her family hating him – couldn’t keep her hands to herself as she cosied up to local lad Johnny Rays while cruising Sydney Harbour on board a private yacht on March 19. Onlookers say the potential new couple “seemed to be having a ball together” as they enjoyed a dip in the ocean. Johnny – who works for Hillsong Church, the Aussie-based religion Selena’s been a member of for years – then helped Sel dry off. What a gentleman! While…

While Jen might have rebooted her life with Brad, a part of her can’t help but feel insecure over news Justin’s moving on (and fast!) with his new girlfriend Petra Collins! “Jen thinks it’s not outside the realms of possibility that Justin may get Petra pregnant soon,” a source tells Heat mag. Indeed, a baby was something Jen and Justin, 46, tried so hard for during their seven years together, but sadly it never happened for them. It was believed they did a number of IVF cycles, however, none were successful. In 2016, Jen even opened up about the “painful awkwardness that comes with being congratulated” every time friends or colleagues thought she was pregnant. But while age wasn’t on Jen’s side, at 25, Petra is less likely to have…

Troy Delmege and Carly Bowyer’s shock romance may have left the goofy groom’s ex-wife Ashley Irvin in tears and the Married At First Sight cast speechless – but are they going to let that ruin their happiness? Uh, nope! Instead they’re busy laying plans for a wedding and a family. “We both want this to be it and we don’t want to waste our time,” Carly, 32, gushes to NW, revealing that Troy, 35, has quit his life in Sydney to join her in Melbourne. “He’s just so positive, happy and full of energy.” Yep, if MAFS taught them anything, it’s that when you find The One, there’s no time to waste... You guys seem so loved-up! How exactly did this all happen? T: After I got out of the…

1 IS ARIANA SECRETLY PREGNANT? There’s been radio silence from her on social media since December, and she only made a blink-and-you’ll miss-her appearance at the Grammy Awards on January 28. Now, some are claiming that the reason Ariana Grande’s dropped off the radar is because she’s hiding a secret pregnancy! Sneaky! “She’s totally pulling a Kylie,” concluded one online commentator, of course referring to Kylie Jenner, 20, who went underground and barely made a peep on social media for the duration of her recent pregnancy. However, while Ari, 24, and her rapper boyfriend-of-18-months Mac Miller, 26, have apparently been discussing babies, it’s been confirmed that they don’t have a bun in the oven – yet! “That’s not what’s going on,” a source spills. “She just wants a healthy break…

While Ben’s busy trying to prove to Jen that he’s the real deal, it seems that jaw-dropping back tattoo he brushed off two years ago as being “fake for a movie”, is also legit! The star was snapped showing off the garish inking – which features a phoenix rising from the ashes – while training for his next flick Triple Frontier on the beach in Honolulu, Hawaii on March 17. According to US People magazine, the elaborate body art was done after his split from Jen in 2015 while he was still living in the family’s guest house. “They had a huge tattoo machine at the house for days,” a source told the mag. “It took hours and hours to finish.” But Ben’s other ex Jennifer Lopez, 48, reckons he…

In her tell-all book Bachelor Nation, Amy Kaufman also reveals the lengths producers go to to ensure no sexually-transmitted diseases are brought into the Mansion – or passed on if the Fantasy Suite gets put to good use! According to Ben Hatta, former assistant to Bachie creator and executive producer Mike Fleiss, during the audition process all potential contestants – as well as the Bachelor and Bachelorette – are required to provide blood and urine samples that get checked for any STDs or STIs. If the tests return a positive result, the contestant is automatically shown the door. “As soon as the medical tests came back, you’d see that herpes was the biggest thing,” Ben tells Amy. “And sometimes you’d be the first person to tell a contestant that they…

It wasn’t even February when Easter eggs, hot cross buns and bite-sized bunnies started popping up in every supermarket and bakery around town. I’m the first to admit I love chocolate and struggle to resist a hot cross bun, but I also know how to keep it under control and avoid the dreaded sugar coma! If self-control isn’t your strength, don’t worry – I’m not here to be the fun police or to tell you that Cadbury is off limits this Easter. Instead, I’ve got some practical advice to help you stay on the rails and keep the choc intake in check… 1 Try to stick to your fitness routine This doesn’t mean you’ve got to stick to your early morning workouts when you could be having a sleep in,…

Aries MAR 21 – APRIL 20 Keeping friends on-side while you’re fighting any kind of personal battle isn’t always possible. This week, the planets urge you to let go of anyone whose loyalty seems to be faltering. You’ve got enough on your plate without having to try to please everyone around you. Taurus APRIL 21 – MAY 21 Forewarned is forearmed so far as your finances go. Mercury’s retrograde suggests there could be trouble in store if you don’t keep a closer eye on your money. Certain people around you are out for anything they can get – and that could come at a great cost to you. Gemini MAY 22 – JUNE 21 Now Mars is keeping a much lower profile, a romantic relationship won’t prove…

CORINNE OLYMPIOS If you need an introduction, Corinne is the US Bachelor villain from Nick Viall’s season, who makes local loudmouth Keira Maguire look like Glinda The Good Witch. She’s also the vixen who was embroiled in the sexual assault scandal with DeMario Jackson on the most recent version of US Bachelor in Paradise. So you better believe that this reality star has a lot to say! “The weirdest things always happen to or around me,” she says of her podcast that’s been described as an hour of “filter-less, pee-in-your-pants banter”. “I’ll be talking about literally anything in the world with my guest. It’s about to get so fun, so real and so random.” Random, indeed! In her first episode, Corinne invites actor Drake Bell in to ask about his…

“Every time Oprah opened her mouth, everybody would get quiet and start writing things down” Big budget. Big stars. Big storyline. Disney’s latest offering A Wrinkle In Time is easily one of 2018’s biggest movies yet. “This is a mix of The NeverEnding Story and The Wizard Of Oz. It feels magical, like that,” says star Reese Witherspoon, who plays the kooky Mrs Whatsit in the $100-million fantasy flick. “I felt like we were making the new Wizard Of Oz for anoher generation,” agrees Oprah Winfrey, 64, who takes on the role of Mrs Which – “the all–knowing, wisest lady in the universe.” Natch! The media mogul’s casting was a no-brainer, according to the film’s director Ava DuVernay. “I wasn’t just casting for actresses. I was casting for leaders –…

“It smells a bit like sperm – there’s some enzyme in it so Sandy refers to it as the penis facial.” Cate Blanchett on the facial she got with her Ocean’s 8 co-star Sandra Bullock. “I made a section [in my will] that if I am... like s**tting on myself, I definitely need my hair, my nails and my make-up done.” Of course, Kim Kardashian will require a glam squad in her final moments! “I can’t find any money, do you want me to do your make-up instead?” TOWIE’s Gemma Collins was all heart after walking past a homeless person.…

Swapping the football for a hot blonde, Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins has made his first play of the season as The Bachelor. And it looks like he more than scored with the lucky lady during a romantic date at The Basin National Park in New South Wales on March 20. The couple spent the day getting wet and wild on a paddleboard before cuddling together for some bubbly on the beach. Nick, 30, then went in for the kill and sealed the deal with a whole load of kissing. And not only did the pretty blonde walk away with a bit of pash rash after brushing up to Honey Badger’s infamous moustache – but she scored a red rose too, indicating Nick was very impressed with their date! “I’m really…

Paris Jackson and Cara Delevingne’s relationship is getting serious. Last week the pair looked super cosy as they spent the day Netflix and chilling in Paris’s bedroom. Now, we hear Paris is gearing up to introduce PARIS & Cara, 25, to the rest of the Jacksons at her brothers Prince and Blanket’s CARA upcoming joint birthday bash. “She is smitten,” says an insider. Meanwhile, Paris, who turns 20 on April 3, is already tight with the Delevingnes, having met them in London a few weeks ago. She even captioned a recent Insta snap with Cara’s sister Poppy, “Happy I got to see my favourites.”…

Congratulations might be in order for Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, as it’s been claimed they got hitched in secret just days before Christmas in the backyard of her LA home! In fact, it was so hush-hush that Gwen, 48, and Blake only invited 27 people to the country-themed ceremony, where guests square-danced and were served BBQ fare, which Blake cooked. Now that they’ve seemingly made it offish, it’s no wonder Blake, 41, can’t stop gushing about being surrounded by his apparent stepkids Kingston, 11, Zuma, nine, and Apollo, four. “It’s so fun,” he told the US Today show last week. “At this point in my life, I kind of had put [having kids] as like, ‘Well, that wasn’t meant to be.’ “Then all of a sudden it happens... and…

CHRIS TO GWYN: ‘YO, I’M NOT YOUR BRO!’ Gwyneth Paltrow has dubbed her ex Chris Martin, 41, her “brother” twice in this year alone, and enough is enough. “It’s really gotten under his skin,” a source tells In Touch. “It makes it seem like they’ve always had a platonic relationship and he thinks it’s confusing for their kids.” But it seems Gwyn, 45 – who split from Chris in 2014 after 11 years – isn’t hearing his pleas. “Chris has asked her to stop but she won’t.” STRANGER THINGS SALARY INCREASE The young cast members of Stranger Things are about to become the highest paid kids on TV. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the youngsters will earn anywhere between $195,000 and $455,000 per episode for Season Three. Apparently, breakout star…

Reese Witherspoon’s lookalike daughter Ava Phillippe is reportedly dating Arthur Donald McCartney, the grandson of Beatles icon Paul McCartney. Cuuute! Ava and Yale student Arthur, both 18, were spotted on a night out in London’s Mayfair recently, with the pair enjoying a romantic stroll together before dining at the super posh celeb hotspot Sketch. “I don’t think she’ll suffer fools,” Ava’s dad Ryan Phillippe said in 2015 of his daughter dating. “She’s going to have high standards.” Clearly!…

Miley Cyrus looked like she had big news to share as she chatted on her phone during a morning hike in Malibu on March 14. And we hear it has everything to do with the burgeoning bump poking out beneath her grey cardie! Yep, NW has exclusively learnt that the Younger Now singer and her fiancé Liam Hemsworth, 28, are expecting a baby! According to the well-placed insider, Miley is “about four months along” and has, so far, had “very little morning sickness”. Lucky thing! While she and Liam have only shared the happy news with “their family and a handful of their closet friends,” they’re now struggling to contain their secret – especially as Miley texted a few mates a picture of her ultrasound! “So far it hasn’t leaked,…

When Rob Kardashian celebrated his recent 31st birthday, he looked healthier and happier – and we hear it’s all thanks to lapband surgery! It’s believed the single dad has lost at least 45kg since undergoing the operation and is hoping to get back down to about 90kg in total. “He knew he couldn’t get started without something drastic, which is why he relented and got the lapband fitted,” says an insider. But the ladies are quickly starting to take notice of the new-look Rob. It’s been reported that he’s in a new relationship with Insta model Star Divine – who looks eerily similar to his ex and babymamma Blac Chyna! “Happy Birthday Rob! Love you,” Star gushed on Instagram. But now that Rob’s slimmed-down, Chy apparently wants another shot, and…

She may have flipped out at last week’s dinner party when ex-husband Troy’s relationship with her pal Carly was exposed, but it seems Ashley’s gotten over it – by getting under Carly’s ex Justin! Whaaat?! Yep, the businessman was snapped picking up the blonde babe from Sydney Airport on March 15 before whisking her away in his BMW for a romantic dinner at the Park Hyatt Hotel. According to fellow diners, the pair were “very flirty” during their romantic meal. “It was clear they were on a date,” says an onlooker. “They couldn’t stop touching each other.” After dinner, insiders say the pair took a romantic stroll along the harbour where they stopped to “canoodle like new lovers”, before heading back to Justin’s Rose Bay apartment, which Ash, 28, was…

Sure, the scandals on set of The Bachelor and all its spin-offs are mind-blowing, but it’s what happens in the background that really has people talking, including the gruelling audition process the contestants have to go through to even get on the show! “Prisoners had more rights than us,” last year’s The Bachelor villain Jen Hawke, 30, admits, while discussing what happened in between filling out her application and moving into the Bachie Mansion. “You tell them everything about you and they use it against you.” Here’s what it takes to become a Bachelorette. Brace yourselves… 1 TELL THEM ALL YOUR DIRTY SECRETS “All of the people that appear on the show are approached in different ways,” Jen reveals. Whether you’re stopped on the street or apply online, you’re asked…

Work out when you can, where you can! Adjusting to life with a newborn can be tough, so exercising at home is where it’s at for mum-of-two Snez. “Being able to do Sam’s [28 by Sam Wood] workouts at home has been so great for me – Willow watches and listens along, too, although sometimes she does put Sam on mute!” she says, adding that she aims for three workouts a week. Slow and steady wins the race Snez says she gained around 16kg during her pregnancy, but she’s focused on regaining her strength and fitness, not the number on the scales. “When it came to getting back into exercise, I listened to my body every step of the way and really eased back into it,” she says. “Daily walks…

‘I HAVE NO PLANS TO GET MARRIED AGAIN’ Money can’t buy you class... but it can buy you a whole lot of booze and land you behind bars! And that’s exactly what happened to Real Housewife of New York Luann de Lesseps – aka “The Countess” – on December 23 last year when she was arrested for public intoxication and assaulting a police officer during an incident in Palm Beach, Florida. Just three months prior to the arrest, her seven-month marriage to businessman Tom D’Agostino, 51, had imploded, so with all that going on, it’s no wonder that Lu, 52, believes Season 10 of her hit show is her most dramatic season yet – and maybe her last! Noooooo! “My story this season is about the difficult experience of coming…

RYANS LATEST ROLE... Mr Napkin Head! Jude Law might have made him famous in the 2006 romcom The Holiday, but Ryan Reynolds has taken over the reins as Mr Napkin Head! The actor covered his gorge face with a tissue last week, joking on Insta, “Early prototype for the Green Lantern mask.
