For nearly three months, Khloe Kardashian’s relationship with Tristan Thompson has had a huge question mark looming over it. Would she dump him for cheating on her while she was pregnant, or would she forgive him and continue being a little family with their newborn daughter True? Well, at last we have our answer... On June 24, the star was spied wearing a new super-sized sparkler on her left hand, with multiple sources confirming the pair are engaged. Tristan was spied ring shopping in the Kardashians’ fave jewellery store in Calabasas the week before Khloe showed off her new accessory, with onlookers revealing that the basketball player was interested in rocks that were more than five carats and worth more than $475,000. Khloe’s ring reveal came hot on the heels…

Ariana Grande’s fiancé Pete Davidson, 24, is a kept man! Buzz is brewing that Ari – who said yes to Pete’s proposal last month after just four weeks of dating – has been paying for everything when it comes to their relationship, including her $125,000 engagement ring and the couple’s new $22 million New York City apartment (above). “He has not paid for much of anything. She picks up the bill for all the high-priced items and that ring was the highest of them all,” alleges a post on the website Crazy Days and Nights – which many reckon refers to the couple. But if it is the case, Ari, 25, clearly doesn’t mind splashing her cash, as she’s busy planning their $10 million wedding!…

Former basketball champ Michael Jordan didn’t exactly look in peak condition as he emerged from his New York City hotel on the morning of June 14 with a nearly empty bottle of tequila – and a box of back-ups! “He was all glassy-eyed and just ignored the fans who were waiting,” alleges an onlooker. The Chicago Bulls star, 55, has long had something of a booze-loving reputation. It’s been alleged that he drank a six-pack after every game back in his ’90s hey-day and he once rocked up to a US club with a $5500 bottle of his favourite tequila!…

Kelly Clarkson’s rise to fame is a Cinderella story if ever we’ve seen one. After years of struggling to break into the music biz, the singer became an overnight sensation when she won the OG season of American Idol back in 2002 at just 20 years old. However, behind her success was the heartbreak that she’d been cast aside by her dad Stephen when she was just six after he divorced her mum Jeanne. Having spent years trying to maintain a relationship with her dad, Kelly, eventually stopped making an effort to contact Stephen – who sadly passed away earlier this year aged 67 – after it became “humiliating” when he never responded. “You’re like, ‘I shouldn’t have to work this hard for someone’s love.’ Like, that’s a little ridiculous,”…

Now this is what we call making a splash! Former Hills star Heidi Montag sent jaws floorwards as she enjoyed some pool fun with hubby Spencer Pratt and their adorbs baby boy Gunner in Aspen, Colorado, recently. Phwoar! And we can’t blame Heids, 31, for wanting to show off her post-bub bod, as she’s worked hard to get back into her bikini following Gunner’s birth last October. And no, the former surgery-junkie didn’t opt for the easy way out... In April, Heidi told NW she was officially back to her pre-baby weight, having dropped the 18kg she gained during her pregnancy by eating well, working out with a trainer and “just carrying Gunner around 24/7”. Of course, Heidi isn’t the only Hills hottie who’s now a yummy mummy, with her…

CHER The icon has up to four dressing rooms – one for herself, one for her costumes, one for her wigs and one for Dr Stacey, her masseuse. Well, if Cher didn’t ask for a wig room, we’d be seriously wondering if there was something wrong with her! JUSTIN BIEBER While in India last year, Biebs requested luxury cars for all his entourage and a Rolls-Royce for himself. His long list of demands also included a jacuzzi, sofas, a washing machine, a glass-fronted fridge and that five dishes on each day’s catering menu were named after his songs. #sorrynotsorry JANET JACKSON After she was served ice that had previously been used to chill fish during a tour in the early ’90s, Ms Jackson now stipulates in…

Heidi Klum vs Zoe Saldana It’s almost too close to call! Both stars ooze modern Hollywood glamour in this stunning silk dress by Alberta Ferretti. And while diamonds will always be a girl’s best friend, we slightly prefer Zoe’s choice to keep her décolletage bare instead of adding jewels like Heids. Ellie Goulding vs Alexa Ray Joel  It’s hard to put a foot wrong when you’re wearing Isabel Marant, but Alexa’s ladylike pumps give her the win here. Soz, Ellie! Katie Holmes vs Brooke Shields It often comes down to the styling and, in this instance, we prefer the way Katie adjusted her Joanna Hope jumpsuit to be one-shouldered.…

Hello, hot mamma! Katie Holmes is rocking her fiercest figure ever and we are bowing down. So how did the mum-of-one, 39, get so ripped? Well, it’s all thanks to an upcoming role she’s prepping for as an ex-marine in thriller The Doorman. “I wanted to be authentic to a person who trained in the military,” Katie tells. While the star has long been a keen runner – she completed the New York City marathon in 2007 and says, “I prefer a long run because I love the runner’s high” – weights have also played a huge part in sculpting Katie’s enviable new body. And research has shown that a combination of cardio and strength training can help you lose about 9kg in less than three months. “I was a…

With a Big Little Lies-shaped hole in our lives as we wait for Season Two next year, the HBO hit’s director Jean-Marc Vallee has decided to distract us with a fresh new thriller fronted by more Hollywood stars to obsess over. Based on the novel of the same name (which was written by Gillian Flynn – the author of Gone Girl ) Sharp Objects centres on journalist Camille Preaker (Amy Adams), who returns to her hometown Wind Gap to report on the murder of one young girl and the disappearance of another. “I really like expanding a character and developing her over eight episodes. It gives you a much more rich history,” says Amy of taking the story to…

New York City was awash with stars literally coming out to celebrate equal love during the Big Apple’s annual pride parade last week. “Love is love,” Sex And The City star Cynthia Nixon declared on Instagram. “We marched. We chanted. We danced.” Meanwhile, fellow A-listers Lady Gaga, Nico Tortorella and 13 Reason Why stars Brandon Flynn, Kate Walsh and Tommy Dorfman were also on-hand to paint the city rainbow. Love always wins!…

She’s got a reputation for liking the British boys, and the English are clearly smitten with Taylor Swift too! Yep, the singer cosied up to a host of famous Brits while performing in London last week. She hung out backstage with Romeo, Cruz and Harper Beckham, as well as Adele, and let Robbie Williams join her onstage at Wembley Stadium to entertain her fans with a special duet of his song Angels . “What an honour to sing with you tonight @taylorswift,” Rob later gushed on Insta. “I’ve got a proper crush.” Aww!…

It’s that time of the year again – when the stars hit Italy and Greece and Mexico and all these amazing holiday locations for their annual summer vacays. Meanwhile, I’m hibernating for winter and it’s put me in total shutdown mode when it comes to any life admin, like cooking or cleaning or basically anything remotely grown-up. So much so, just the other day I got down to my last pair of clean undies and hit rock bottom when I was fishing through the washing basket for a work shirt to, er, reuse. Greasy haired and wearing unwashed clothing, the struggle was real – or so I whined to my colleagues when I turned up to a meeting looking like a total bum. “Every time I go to do a…

When the going gets tough, Victoria Beckham leans on the one man who never lets her down – her eldest son Brooklyn. With rumours about her marriage to David refusing to fade, Posh took Brooks, 19, to the Argento Ball For The Elton John AIDS Foundation in Windsor on June 27. Meanwhile, Dave, 43, was back in London attending the Queen’s Young Leaders Event at Buckingham Palace. “The perfect date,” Posh captioned a sweet Instagram snap of her knotting Brooklyn’s tie for him. Brooklyn – who sources say is “very protective” of his mum – often steps in when David’s unavailable. “Brooklyn knows how much his mum dislikes going to events alone so is always the first to offer to join her,” dishes an insider. But with Vic, 44, also…

Tori Spelling confesses that five pregnancies have taken their toll on her bod. “After having my fifth baby, I have to admit my body didn’t bounce back the way it did with the first four,” she recently admitted. But now it looks like both Tori, 45, and her hubby Dean McDermott, 51, are taking drastic measures to slim down for good... “They’re both bloated and desperate to lose the fat, but they don’t like to exercise so surgery is the way to go,” a source tells NW. “They’re getting total-body lipo – belly, thighs, butt and even arms – despite being broke.” So how will the cash-strapped pair pay for the invasive and expensive ops? “Tori figures they can get a discount rate if she advertises the place on social…

‘THERE’S CONCERN SHE WEIGHS JUST 35 KILOS’ Angelina Jolie might have lost the latest round in her custody clash with Brad Pitt, but she’s going to extreme – and potentially dangerous – measures to ensure she ultimately wins the war. Off the back of a judge’s ruling that Ange has been “alienating” the couple’s six kids from the actor and now must give him more access to them, the stressed-out star’s weight is plummeting. And it’s drawn the attention of Brad, who has always worried about her frail frame. “Angie has hardly touched her food since all this new custody drama kicked off,” reveals an insider. “She’s skipping meals and looks skinnier than ever.” And with concerns her weight now hovers around just 35kg, “her clothes hang off her”, adds…

Dakota Johnson has also sparked talk she’s expecting a baby with boyfriend of eight months Chris Martin, 41. According to an onlooker, the Fifty Shades Of Grey actress, 28, was showing off an “obvious baby bump” while shopping in LA recently. “She and Chris probably weren’t exactly planning on having a baby just yet, because it’s still very early days in their relationship,” adds an insider. “That being said, starting a family is something they’ve talked about and wanted to happen eventually, so they’ll be thrilled. They are absolutely committed to each other and serious about making this work.” Already a pseudo stepmum to Chris’s kids Apple, 14, and Moses, 12 – who he shares with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow – Dakota “can see what a great…

Some contestants didn’t understand the rules of Love Island when they applied, amid claims Eden Dally is also hiding a secret romance from his new love Erin Barnett. While he very publicly asked Erin to be his girlfriend, NW hears Eden’s heart might already belong to a different blonde – Stephanie Lea, 24, who he was dating up until the day he left for Love Island ! “Eden didn’t actually tell Stephanie he was going on Love Island until the Wednesday before filming,” claims make-up artist Steph’s bestie Alashana. “He left for the Island on Friday.” Meanwhile, Erin, 22, has made it clear she’s not one to be played with, so something tells us things…

This is a shout-out to Jesy Nelson – step away from the bevvies! The Little Mix babe looked like she’d had a big, ahem, mix of cocktails as she struggled to get out of the gutter after leaving London hotspot Tape in the wee hours of June 3. “She drank so much she could barely stand. Her boyfriend looked really embarrassed,” an onlooker says of Jesy’s man Harry James, who was forced to help his girlfriend back on her feet as her boob fell out of her top. Fellow partygoers add that Jesy, 27, was tossing back margaritas all night. But it isn’t the first time the star has over-indulged. In March, Little Mix fans went into meltdown after Jesy stumbled onstage at the 2018 Global Awards in London. “Jesy…

The romance between their Game Of Thrones characters Jon Snow and Ygritte may have been doomed, but in real life Kit Harington and Rose Leslie have finally gotten their fairytale happily ever after. And while GoT may be famous for its brutal and bloody Red Wedding, Kit and Rose’s nuptials were thankfully a far happier occasion. Indeed, the long-time lovebirds tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony at Rayne Church in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, on June 23. On hand to witness the cute couple say “I do” were many of their GoT family, including Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Peter Dinklage and a kilt-wearing Richard Madden, as well as Marcus Mumford, Malin Akerman and her actor boyfriend Jack Donnelly. Blushing bride Rose, 31, looked gorgeous in a $27,000 lace Elie…

1 IS TAY PLAYING CUPID FOR SEL?  Hailey Baldwin isn’t the only one loving the fact that Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are dunzo. Sel’s bestie Taylor Swift’s over the moon too – and lining up a Bieber replacement as we speak! “Taylor’s good at giving advice and Selena is soaking it up,” a source tells Radar Online. Tay already has several guys in mind who she thinks would be perfect for Sel, 25. “They’re nice, stable guys with real jobs and who don’t have an entourage,” adds the source. Another common denominator? They’re all Brits! Yep, Tay – who’s dating English actor Joe Alwyn – thinks Sel should follow in her footsteps and settle down with a well-bred English gentlemen. And Sel is sure in good hands! Taylor, 28,…

The Paleo diet has been the go-to healthy eating plan in recent times, but the Viking diet is the new way forward if the World Health Organisation has anything to say about it. The WHO recently suggested that eating a Scandinavian “Viking” Diet is not only super healthy, but can also help ward off cancer and heart disease too. So what’s on the menu? ▶ Berries, fruits and fatty fish, including salmon. ▶ Lean fish and vegetables – especially cabbage and root vegies. ▶ Legumes and wholegrains, including barley, oats and rye. ▶ Rapeseed oil instead of olive oil ▶ Moderate amounts of wine are OK. Yay!…

They’re keeping up with the times in the latest superhero snack Ant-Man And The Wasp, where it’s all about the ladies – sorry boys! The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) is the first-ever female superhero to appear in the title of a Marvel Cinematic Universe film – something Evangeline is very proud of. “It means a lot to me,” gushes the actress. “If I’m honest with myself, I feel a lot of pressure to make sure that it is everything that the world wants it to be.” Even the film’s villain Ghost is female, switching up the traditional male figure who was presented in the comics! “Badass, kickass women, let’s keep seeing some more,” says Hannah John-Kamen, who takes on the shadowy role. While many men could be intimidated on the set…

I would love to give Channing Tatum a lesson in my studio... or Mark Wahlberg! He calls himself the “Pole Ninja” while taking on the formidable Australian Ninja Warrior course this season, but there’s more than what meets the eye with Ben Toyer. The 27-year-old’s established himself as a go-to stuntman and trainer working alongside the likes of Sam Frost, Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio – as well as running his Sydney studio The Pole Parlour with girlfriend Elle Lacroix. Busy boy! NW swung in to his studio to chat in between routines. Hey Benji! So what made you want to compete on ANW ? I wanted to compete on the first season but we were just about to launch our pole studio. As soon as I…

George & Amal moonlight as Uber Eats drivers WHERE Sardinia, Italy WHAT George Clooney and wife Amal might be one of the most fabulous couples in the business, but even they like to live like the plebs sometimes. Forget fancy cars and drivers, you’ll catch these guys zooming around town on a motorbike. It’s Jenny from the buck WHERE Los Angeles WHAT We’re used to seeing Jennifer Lopez looking like a million bucks, so it makes sense that she was dressed like a bag of money for her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Plus, what better way to promote her new single Dinero – which means money in Spanish, FYI – than to rock up in this matching money-print set? She may…

Colin Firth isn’t a regular dad, he’s a cool dad! The actor kicked it with the kids during last week’s Isle of Wight Festival to watch his son Luca, 17, perform with his rock band Wednesday. As well as mingling and dancing with fellow festivalgoers, Colin was also seen whipping out his phone to proudly take snaps of his son onstage. “He looked every inch the proud parent and looked in real high spirits when Wednesday came on,” a source dishes. So cute!…

She may be a mum of three, but Jessica Alba isn’t exactly setting a good example for her brood when it comes to the F-bombs she’s been dropping. Whoops! And that’s why sources say she’s been forced to set up a swear jar to curb her naughty habit. “Every time a curse word comes out of Jess’s mouth, she has to put a dollar in a swear jar,” reveals an insider, who adds the Honest Company founder “could almost start another venture with the money that in there!”…

It s the news that shocked the world – Michael Jackson had died from an accidental overdose. Yep, it’s been nine years since the King of Pop’s tragic passing and the NW-ette’s are still as saddened by it as we were back then. As well as exposing the truth about the singer’s tragic demise, our special tribute issue examined everything from his romances with the likes of Madonna and Brooke Shields to his controversial friendship with child star Macaulay Culkin and that hotel balcony incident with baby Blanket. 1998 Cameron Diaz made a splash with her There’s Something About Mary co-star Matt Dillon, while David Duchovny shared his poetry.

Sorry, the old Lindsay Lohan can’t come to the party right now Why? ’Cause she’s no longer getting legless! Yep, Linds – who became more famous for her non-stop clubbing than her acting in her noughties heyday – announced last week that her inner party animal is “dead”. “I’m a normal, nice person,” the star revealed. “My past has to stay in the past. Like, people . have to just let go of it and stop bringing it up because it’s gone. It’s dead. And that’s the most important thing to me.” Of course, LiLo won’t be staying out of the clubs completely. The budding business woman just opened Lohan Beach House in Mykonos. We’ll be raising a bevvy or two in your honour Linds!…

Vodka for breakfast, drugs on tap and crazy spending – Johnny Depp’s recent gaunt appearance was worrying enough, but now a detailed exposé has revealed the true extent of the Pirates Of The Caribbean star’s sad downfall. Rolling Stone magazine journo Stephen Rodrick recently spent three booze-filled days with Johnny, and in his article describes “the stogiesize joint left in the guest bathroom” and “the never-ending reservoir of wine that is poured into goblets”. Johnny – who was described as being “incoherent” – also denied recent reports he spent $30,000 per month on wine, scoffing, “That’s insulting. It was far more.” Other revelations include the fact that Johnny’s friends and family tried to persuade him not to marry Amber Heard, especially without a prenup – but the star ignored the…

As Brad muddles his way through his messy divorce, the actor’s found a source of comfort in his old flame Jennifer Aniston. Insiders say that, despite their history, the Friends star has been a shoulder to cry on for her ex-hubby. “Jen has always taken the high road and she never wanted any bad blood with Brad,” an insider tells NW . “She’s had a difficult time with Justin [Theroux] and has let Brad know she’ll always be here for him, whether he needs help with the kids or just a chat when he’s feeling down.” After all, Jen, 49, knows exactly what it’s like to be lonely and, despite everything they’ve been through, insiders say she doesn’t want Brad to feel that…

When Sophie Monk debuted as last season’s Bachelorette, ratings went through the roof. The series premiered to a record-breaking 951,000 viewers and its finale brought in 2.2 million viewers – the largest audience in The Bachelor’s five-year history. The first ever celebrity suitress was a clear success – and Australia was hooked. So when it came time to cast Season Six’s Bachelor, the peeps in charge knew they had to back it up with someone as entertaining as Australia’s most loveable bogan Sophie, 38. Enter rugby union player Nick Cummins – aka The Honey Badger. Unfortunately, things haven’t quite gone to plan… Some fans are outraged at the casting choice, hailing him “the worst Bachelor ever” before the series has even gone to air, off the back of reports that…

Hitting up your fave festival or concert usually means little more than making sure you’ve remembered your ticket and packed your flower crown and selfie stick. But those pyrotechnics and epic performances don’t just happen on spec. When Katy Perry, Taylor Swift or Pink are in town, a whole army of backstage staff is recruited to keep the show on the road – and the leader of the pack is the tour manager. Sure, the job includes world travel, five-star accommodation and hanging out with celebs, but you can also expect limited contact with your loved ones, diva demands aplenty and, like, zero sleep. Still fancy it? Then read on! Glam but gruelling The life of a tour manager may seem glamorous on the surface, but in reality it’s a…

PSA! This may be your last chance to see Jennifer Lopez on the small screen, as the star’s announced the third and latest season of her detective series Shades Of Blue will be its last. And the star admits she’s sad to see the crime show – and her street-smart single mother character Harlee – go. “I have enjoyed producing and starring in this beautifully complicated world and playing such an empowering yet flawed character – a woman, a detective, but, first and foremost, a mother,” says J.Lo. “Now looking at it with a little distance, playing Harlee strengthened me and helped me grow into a more self-assured woman.” Shades Of Blue Season Three premieres 8.30pm Tuesday July 3 on Universal…

You do you, boo! “I don’t know what we have power over.
