BEHIND THE SCENE Unlike Kim Kardashian’s ex Kris Humphries, whose grand gesture was televised on the show, Scott proposed in private. He may have picked out the ring for all to see on a 2011 episode of KUWTK, but when it came to popping the question to Kourtney, he did it over a low-key dinner at home in LA. Scott Disick has had a bumpy ride of late, but now he’s seemingly on the road to recovery, he’s keen to put things right with Kourtney Kardashian. And he’s not mucking around! Just days after they were spotted out looking cosy together, the remorseful 32-year-old got down on one knee and asked Kourt to marry him – and she finally said yes! “Being married is a beautiful thing in life,” says…

Just when we thought Taylor’s girl gang couldn’t pack any more punch, she goes and recruits the big gun herself – Oprah Winfrey! “I’ve never seen any woman handle herself the way she does,” Oprah, 61, gushed last week while in Oz for her An Evening With Oprah tour. “She makes my eyes water, the way she handles herself. She manages the whole fame trip, what it means to be in the spotlight, so when you think about all the things going wrong [with] the world, she is the true great role model.” There’s no word yet on whether they’ll be catching up while they’re both Down Under, but we’d love to see the talk-show queen hit the stage for a cameo on Taylor’s tour. Hey, all the other squadsters…

HER BOYFRIEND CHEATED Her heart was smashed to pieces after boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger was busted snuggling up to another girl while on spring break in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in March. Miley had been dating him for five months – and while Patrick denied the cheating rumours, they called it quits in April. HER PETS PASSED ON Still devastated over the death of her beloved pooch Floyd, who was killed by a coyote last year, tragedy struck once again in February when her blowfish Pablow died. “I hate goodbyes,” she lamented on Instagram. Gone but not forgotten, Miley not only wrote a song for her former friend – in which she sings, “Why does everything I love have to die?” – but got a tattoo of him on her wrist.…

Serena Williams, 34 “I have learnt to be proud of my curves and to embrace them. It’s important to love who you are and realise that you’re beautiful, no matter what society says,” states tennis star Serena Williams, who won the heart of rnb god Drake. “I’m the average, curvy woman. I’ve got a butt, I’ve got thighs, I’ve got boobs – but I’m also an athlete.” Yep, a smokin’ hot one! Bonnie Sveen, 27 Home And Away star Bonnie couldn’t care less about fretting over her shape – and why should she! “There’s nothing controversial about my size,” says the blonde bombshell, who’s dating assistant TV director Nathan Gooley. “It’s so important that young girls have positive role models on screen that can promote achievable, healthy bodies.” Hear, hear!…

Where there’s a will, there’s a way! Following a series of fertility setbacks, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden are one step closer to starting the family they’ve always wanted – by adopting a baby girl! “They didn’t think it would be this hard to get pregnant,” a source tells Star magazine, confirming the adoption paperwork is already underway. “But now they’ve started the process of adopting a baby, it’s like a weight has been lifted.” The couple have been trying for a bub since they secretly wed back in January. But when conceiving naturally didn’t work, they began exploring other options. According to the source, Cam, 43, and Benji, 36, spent the past year seeing specialists and undergoing tests and treatments in a bid to get pregnant. The desperate duo…

Now that Gwen Stefani’s moved on with new man Blake Shelton, her ex Gavin Rossdale is free to sow his wild oats with whoever he likes. But if Gav was hoping to make his ex-wife jealous by playing the field, his plan went horribly awry when he was spotted with none other than Hollywood good-time gal Tara Reid! “This is a whole new low for him as far as Gwen’s concerned,” an insider tells NW. “She’s got nothing against Tara personally, but for him to be staggering around Hollywood hook-up joints with someone as notorious as Tara is lame and desperate.” “Gavin’s just turned 50, yet he’s acting like a sexed-up college jock, partying with kids who are literally half his age.” And Gwen’s pals say it proves she was…

A vision in white The littlest things make the biggest difference. Olivia Palermo’s (left) big sunnies and slimline belt take this Lovers + Friends jumpsuit to a whole new level. A lack of accessories leaves Jamie Chung looking like a work in progress. Fiery femmes Fashion props to Bella Thorne (left) for having the balls to rock the same orange Balmain dress as Chanel Iman. Thanks to the strappy nude heels, we’ve gotta say the actress holds her own next to the seasoned supermodel!

ZAYDAY (KEKE PALMER) Zayday’s the dark horse. She was taken hostage by one of the Red Devil killers but managed to live, and actress Keke has insisted in interviews that her character’s a “good girl”. But in the words of Rihanna, could Zayday be a good girl gone bad? DEAN CATHY MUNSCH ( JAMIE LEE MUNSCH ) Over Thanksgiving dinner, Munsch pointed the finger at everyone else. This may have been a clever attempt to take the heat off herself – after all, she killed her ex Steven (Philip Casnoff), so she has an appetite for murder. HESTER (LEA MICHELE) She cheated death once when her neck brace saved her during that tumble down the stairs. But could she actually be the one playing God? Hester has always had her…

Heard the rumours of a fling between our columnist Brandi Glanville and Lindsay Lohan’s ex Calum Best? Well, after chatting to the unusually coy former RHOBH star, we can reveal the pair, who’ve been filming the new E! reality series Famously Single together over the last few weeks, have a major thing going on! “He’s not my [usual] type. I like tall dark and handsome, but opposites attract and he’s really f**kin’ hot,” says Brandi, 43. “He’s only a few years younger… it’s not much!” And the 34-year-old Brit-American model’s playboy rep doesn’t even faze the reality star. “Well, he would have my history to deal with, too!” she says. Touché!…

AMPIKA PICKSTON: ‘LOOK OUT, LADS! I’M READY FOR ACTION!’ “I’ve kicked the mystery man to the kerb and I’ve decided that I’ve got to be out and about and ready to mingle,” says the sassy divorcee. DAWN WARD: ‘THE BUST-UPS ARE BIGGER!’ Friends have told the fence-sitter to fight back! “There’s a lot more substance to the arguments,” she says. “The dynamics have changed.” LAUREN SIMON: ‘MY MAN’S A STAR!’ Lauren’s outspoken hubby Paul scores more screen time. “Last year he didn’t want to do it, and then he did!” she says. “This time he wants to. We’re a double act.” LEANNE BROWN: ‘I LET RIP!’ We’ll see Leanne’s feisty side! “I need to be more vocal about my feelings,” she says. “I was a bit guarded and worried about…

This should be the happiest of times for Kim Kardashian. But rather than prepping for the birth of her and Kanye West’s second baby last week, she was left reeling after learning her hubby’s hiding two X-rated sex tapes. In a bombshell revelation uncovered by RadarOnline, Kanye’s doing all he can to keep the tapes private. Not surprising, considering one allegedly features an 18-year-old ex-girlfriend who looks just like Kim! Yikes! Even though the videos were made just before she and Kanye started dating in 2012, having footage leaked of her hubby sleeping with a younger version of her is the last thing Kim needs – especially since she’s been feeling so insecure. Just last week, on the eve of the birth, Kim told fans she felt “fat as f**k”…

Kelly Brook' 36 “I love my body. The curvier I am, the happier I am. I think that’s true of most girls. The heavier I am, the more I like my boobs and bum, and the happier I look,” says glamour model Kelly, who’s loved up with French judo trainer Jeremy Parisi. “I’ve pretty much built an empire on [my boobs]... I’m grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way because of them.” Upton Kate , 23 “I understand why male followers like me,” says the Captain Obvious Sports Illustrated model. “I love and am proud of my body – every part of it – and wouldn’t change a thing.” Neither would her baseball-pro beau Justin Verlander! Rebel Wilson, 35 “I like the plus-size thing, or being called…

Luckily for Kylie, she’s got big sis Khloe to help get her life in order. Indeed, KoKo’s famous for keeping her own place spotless! “You say OCD is a disease, but I say it’s a blessing,” says Khloe.

But first she’s making a pit stop in Laguna Beach with her new fiancé Corey Bohan to show off her new bling! Yep, the pair got engaged just days earlier over a over a candlelit dinner, where Corey got down on bended knee. Aw, cute! It’s been a long time coming for Audrina, whose love-life was documented on the reality TV series. But through the ups, downs and Justin Bobby, she’s finally found her Prince Charming in Aussie BMX rider Corey. Fingers crossed for a star-studded wedding Down Under! Family tides His ex Halle Berry may not be having the best time as she…

“Go big or go home,” says celeb make-up artist Napoleon Perdis. “Gold and bronze shimmer eyeshadows are huge this party season. Get creative by adding a pop of glitter onto the inner corners of the eyes – a gold, pink or light purple is a fun addition to any make-up look, especially for New Year’s Eve. Whatever your skin tone, these shades will make every eye colour pop!” To rock the trend without going OTT, “keep your skin fresh and radiant, and your blush and lip to a minimum”. Match with... “Achieving the perfect brow can make or break your look,” says Napoleon. “Aim for a natural and full appearance. For foolproof application, try a powder in a matte shade a touch lighter than your hair colour. This allows you…

Beaut brekkie “Eggs, avocado and toast,” says the top model of her typical daily breakfast, although she’s also a fan of almond butter on sourdough. These are great options to order next time you’re at a café, too, as they’re packed with healthy omega-3 fats, filling fibre and muscle-building protein. Lovely lunch Showing off her fave midday meal options on the Wine ’N Dine app, Kendall’s known to order chicken wraps with sweet-potato fries (a low-GI alternative to hot chips), Chinese chicken salads (which see you fill up on low-kilojoule vegies) and spicy tuna on rice cakes from Nobu in Malibu! Dinner date At Nobu, the Chanel model loves to order sashimi – a great, low-kilojoule option when you’re eating out at your fave Japanese restaurant. Just go easy on…

1 Will Hannah ever get back with Adam? Hannah (Lena Dunham) and Adam (Adam Driver) have had the most intense on-off relationship ever, but after saying, “I can’t do that,” when he asked to get back with her, is she over him for good? And is that what we want? So confused! 2 Is Hannah going to be out on the pull with her mum? Fresh from Hannah’s dad spectacularly coming out of the closet, the latest trailer shows her and her mum making the most of their single selves at a dance class. Is Hannah’s mum about to discover the menfolk of New York? 3 Will Jessa and Adam end up together? Sexy oddballs Adam and Jessa (Jemima Kirke) were getting close last season, so much so that we…

We were completely floored last week when The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster announced her split with husband David Foster – and now we’re hearing it was her battle with Lyme disease that broke them! After nine years together, Yolanda, 51 – who married the 66-year-old music producer in 2011 – revealed that although the decision to separate was tough, it was mutual. “Sadly we have decided to go our separate ways,” they said in a statement. “We’ve shared nine beautiful and joyous years together. During that time we experienced love, friendship and the inevitable challenges that come with managing a marriage, careers, blended families and health issues.” Sob! And adding to the heartbreak, sources say the relationship became strained after Yolanda was diagnosed with Lyme disease…

Ah, the festive season – a time for eating, drinking and being merry. All things I’m very good at. But it’s also time for the dreaded office Kris Kringle – and boy have I seen some cringe- and LOL-worthy gifting disasters over the years! One of my faves was the time a former colleague forgot to label her gift to Mel T (a close friend) and it went to Mel B (from the other office) instead. What’s so bad about that, you ask? Well, the present was a fart machine – and she’d never met the other Mel. Hahahaha! If you need a little help with your presents, we’ve got a little something for everyone in our annual Gift Guide, from page 56. Happy shopping!…

Given reports her boyfriend Calvin Harris is on the verge of pulling the pin on their 11-month romance, could it be another lonely Christmas for poor Taylor Swift? Cue the angsty break-up song! Yep, despite the singer putting on a brave face for the Australian leg of her 1989 World Tour, sources say it’s been tears and tantrums behind closed doors. For while she’s been desperate for Cal to join her on tour, he’s refused to support her, choosing instead to party with his mates in places like Mexico and LA. Harsh! What’s more, despite Cal calling “bullshit” on break-up rumours, it’s been a whopping 118 days since they’ve been photographed in public together! So what gives? Sources close to the insecure Scottish DJ say Cal, 31, has been pulling…

Where there’s smoke Pothead Miley’s Instagram is packed with bizarre selfies. It’s been a long time coming, but it seems struggling pop star Miley Cyrus has finally hit rock bottom. The singer’s increasingly skinny frame, drug-taking and bizarre behaviour have been making more headlines than her music lately. And she’s sinking to new lows by the day, causing outrage by breastfeeding from a back-up dancer and donning a huge strap-on penis during a recent gig in Chicago. But behind the scenes things have been getting even weirder. An insider tells NW that Miley bombards people with dirty texts, shows up announced to random people’s houses, has become hooked on porn and has even stopped showering! Yikes! In fact, one recent late-night gathering at the singer’s house even saw her collapse…

It was Khloe Kardashian, not Kim, who nearly broke the internet last week when she admitted to having a fling with a celebrity when she was in Australia back in 2007! “I had a one-night stand with someone in Australia. I met a guy who was performing at the MTV Awards, hooked up with him here and left,” KoKo confesses in a video diary filmed on her most recent trip to Oz. “He had to leave town and we both didn’t live here, we all came here for the awards.” While Khloe, 31, got her dates a little mixed up – she was actually here for the MTV Awards in 2008 – the reality star remembers all the other details of their hot night of passion in great detail. “I…

Love hurts Joe’s not the only one suffering – Zayn’s ex-fiancée Perrie Edwards is said to be “devastated”. “It’s a new level of humiliation,” Zayn Malik threw bro code straight out the window when he hooked up with his mate Joe Jonas’s ex Gigi Hadid – and now fuming crooner Joe is set on dishing out some serious payback! Making matters worse, after he unfollowed Gigi on Twitter, she responded by writing, then deleting, “There’s just no need to be judgmental.” Already reeling from 22-year-old Zayn’s betrayal, Joe’s now told pals he’s also on a mission to take down Zigi (yep, that’s short for Zayn and Gigi!). “Joe is totally pissed off and can’t believe Zayn swooped in and nicked his girl,” says our insider. “He thought they were friends.…

‘I honestly hate wearing makeup… I feel like I’m way too young to wear such heavy make-up all the time. It’s just bad for skin.’ Says the girl whose daily make-up takes 2.5 hours and is, like, always filming beauty tutorials. Oh, and has just launched a sell-out Lip Kit... your ‘When I’m, like, 30, I want to go off the map, have a family and live in Malibu with a farm and just raise my own chickens Um, two words for you... SOCIAL. MEDIA. What will we look at all day?! ‘I’m way flashier on Instagram and Snapchat… People want to see my cars and my purses. People love fashion, but that’s so not me.” Um, didn’t you co-design a clothing line for Topshop? And PacSun? And Forever New?…

She and her sister Ashley may reportedly be worth a joint $410 million, but you wouldn’t know it from Mary-Kate Olsen’s, um, Yves Saint Low-Rent wedding to wealthy businessman Olivier Sarkozy! The fashion designer lived up to her rep as one half of Hollywood’s kookiest twins when she nixed a no-expense-spared celebration in favour of a cheapo booze-fuelled bash at their Midtown Manhattan pad on November 27. And according to the New York Post, in place of wedding decor, there were “bowls and bowls filled with cigarettes” for guests to puff away on! “The whole place was filled to the ceiling with smoke – it’s a wonder Mary-Kate could see her way up the makeshift aisle,” an insider tells NW. Needless to say, the chain-smoking, wine-quaffing lovebirds plied their pals…

7 days before Scrub skin Achieving smooth skin is one of the biggest summer beauty goals, and involves fighting cellulite as well as banishing blemishes. A coffee scrub will nourish, tighten and exfoliate to reveal fresh, youthful, clear skin. HEALTH HELPER Replace empty-kilojoule carbs with chicken breast and fish. They need less water to digest so you’ll retain less fluid, says New York dietician Marjorie Nolan Cohn. 6 days before Fight cellulite Instead of just moisturising, add massage to the mix with this handy two-in-one. Massaging increases blood flow to all areas of your body and firms, tones and diminishes dimples when done regularly. 5 days before Banish bloat Add Epsom salts to your bath – they work a treat before a big event or bikini sesh by drawing toxins…

Fine diners Every night’s a party for Kenny, Kylie, Jordan Dunn and Rita Ora! 1 Low-carb doesn’t necessarily mean low-kilojoule, but choosing fibre will help fill you up so you don’t overindulge!
