According to Dave Hughes, fellow panellists Dannii, Jackie O and Lindsay had a WhatsApp group – which he wasn’t a part of! – where they’d compare clues about the singers during filming. And Dannii confirms the group is still a thing today. “We message each other all the time, even more so since we finished filming,” she tells NW. “Lindsay sent me a video message just the other day because she was having lunch with a mutual friend of mine. We’re tight.”…

Eek! Kim Kardashian’s surgically enhanced body is about to go out with a bang as sources reveal to NW that she fears her boob implants are on the verge of exploding. Indeed, the reality star’s quest for perky perfection has begun to backfire big time and now she’s in a mad panic worrying they’ll leak – or worse. “Kim’s latest set are like over-inflated balloons and she says there are times they feel so tight, it’s like they’re going to explode at the slightest touch,” an insider spills. Kimmy certainly looked fit to burst as her cleavage spilled over her Vivienne Westwood gown at last week’s Emmy Awards, with viewers stunned by the 38-year-old’s pumped-up appearance. “Kim’s been warned that if she keeps going bigger, she’s in danger of not…

With their two-year wedding anniversary just around the corner, Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender have finally decided it’s time they started a family. “They’ve always talked about having kids – it was just a matter of when,” shares a close friend. “Alicia’s turning 31 this week, so she wants to get going now.” Though Michael, 42, was dragging his feet when it came to procreating as “he wanted to spend more alone time with Alicia”, explains the source, it seems the actor recently had a change of heart. “She got him on board after they babysat for a friend,” shares the source. “Michael wound up really enjoying the experience.”…

Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley were married for a total of 107 days in 2002 – but now sources reckon the pair are growing close again! “They talk a lot and have rediscovered their feelings for each other,” a spy tells. “It started when Nic reached out to her in early June. Since then, they’ve been on the phone nonstop and have even met up for dates!” It would make sense for the lost souls to find each other again after ups and downs in their private lives. Lisa Marie, 51, has had a messy custody fight with ex Michael Lockwood, while Nic, 55, had his fourth marriage to waitress Erika Koike annulled in March after four days. “He and Lisa have discovered a new, intense connection,” says the…

JOE GETS WAXED FROM HEAD TO TOE! Joe Jonas has extricated himself from a hairy situation – by waxing his entire body into a Ken doll! “He had his first full-body wax from the neck down before his wedding and says he’s never going back,” squeals NW’s exclusive insider. “He does it routinely now. Joe’s a hairy guy and never realised how amazing it felt to be, as he puts it, as smooth as a dolphin.” What’s more, Joe’s wife Sophie Turner, 23, is said to love the 30-year-old singer’s friction-free bod. “He takes a lot of teasing from his brothers Nick and Kevin, but it’s a look he’ll be sticking with – much to Sophie’s delight,” says our spy. Do you, Joe! KANYE HIRES BRAD…

START SMALL (LITERALLY) This transition doesn’t have to be all or nothing! Why not subscribe to the 80-20 natural rule? If you’re unsure of a product, grab a sample and try it out before investing. STUDY UP Confused about ingredients? We feel you. Go for brands transparent with their ingredients and remember less is more. Look up what you don’t understand on websites like the Environmental Working Group (ewg.org) cosmetics database. SHOP SMARTER Seek out brands that tap into ethical and natural ingredients produced in various regions worldwide. Or try starting with beauty that’s packaged in recyclable materials. DON’T CONFUSE NATURAL FOR INEFFECTIVE Yes, natural beauty products work. And no, not all natural beauty regimens mean coconut oil for everything.

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23  Intense solar activity still reigns supreme in your chart – so you’re not going to become a shrinking violet any time soon! Keep your title as Style Queen of the Zodiac if you must. But this week, also give some of your gal pals a chance to shine. Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22  With Pluto moving forward this week, you should feel more confident than ever. The only glitch in the solar system could come from a mere mortal in your midst. Suss out who that person is, then make sure they don’t attempt to bring you back down. Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 21  Near-future family upsets could be due to Mercury being at odds with Uranus. Rather than run away from…

PLOT: Gentlemen, start your engines – as RuPaul’s Drag Race has hopped across the pond! Ten British queens will sissy that walk in the hopes of being crowned the UK’s first drag superstar! WHAT’S HOT: RuPaul and Michelle Visage continue as main judges, with UK comedians Graham Norton and Alan Carr rotating alongside celeb guests Andrew Garfield and Geri Horner. WHAT’S NOT: It’s missing a little sparkle without Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews in the judging seats. RuPaul’s Drag Race UK premieres Friday October 4 on Stan RATES THIS…

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery – but Beyonce borrowing your look? Well, there’s no greater honour! The singer recently shared new snaps of herself dressed as Lisa Bonet from Halloween last year – and Lisa’s daughter Zoe Kravitz lost her mind! “I can’t... is beyonce also my mom now or ?” she wrote on Instagram.…

There’s no masking it – like the rest of Australia, the NW-ettes are addicted to The Masked Singer! The bonkers costumes, the mystery celebs, the random words that come out of LiLo’s sausage lips... It’s all we talk about. I’m hoping karaoke bars start stocking masks so I can recreate my new fave reality show. Actually, most of the times I’ve sung in public, I’ve later wished for a disguise. My bestie still gets into hysterics when she recalls me drunkenly mangling a Shakira song on stage, only realising halfway through that the lyrics were in Spanish. And then there was the time in the Philippines that I split my shorts while enthusiastically performing a Spice Girls hit. Unfortunately for the audience, I decided to spice up their lives by…

The stress of two break-ups in as many months has taken its toll on Miley, with the singer’s gaunt appearance leaving fans shocked recently. “I love you but your body looks like mine when I went to rehab for anorexia,” a concerned fan wrote on Miley’s Insta post. “There’s literally nothing of her,” shared another. “It doesn’t look healthy!” As NW previously reported, the singer is surviving on a deadly concoction of cannabis, cocktails and coffee – and is a terrifyingly thin 45kg. “She’s barely eating,” shares a source. “It’s no way to live.”…

That’s been the question on everyone’s lips – and Dannii assures NW that the celebrity contestants aren’t performing to pre-recorded vocals. “They’re fully singing in the masks,” she tells. “We have worked so hard, every mask is so different, the cavity in the face is different in each one so they can’t all be miked in the same way. It’s taken weeks working with the costume department to try get a great sound on each one and make it comfortable. That was the challenge.” Case closed.…

Think LiLo is new or talented? Channel 10 does, because the network is apparently going to push her in the Best New Talent category at next year’s TV Week Logie Awards! WTF?! It wouldn’t be the first time a big overseas star has been honoured in such a way – Joe Jonas and Joel Madden were both nominated for The Voice in the same category. And according to Twitter, Linds does deserve an award for pretending to know who all the random Masked Singer celebs are! Graham Kennedy, you can roll in your grave now...…

Don’t go pulling your #TeamJen T-shirt out of storage just yet, dear reader, because although Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have been spending a ton of time together lately, they’re not pressing the reboot button on their romance just yet. Boo! The former spouses left Sony Pictures Studios after one another in LA this month. Sources say they’re working on a top-secret project, which would see them acting together for the first time since Brad guest-starred on a 2001 episode of Jen’s TV show Friends. Sadly for now, their relationship is remaining professional as Brad’s not done sowing his wild oats. Uh-huh, in the same week he caught up with Jen, 50, the actor enjoyed dates with three other women! On September 18, Brad, 55, was seen heading into a…

Khloe Kardashian said she was “channelling Anna Nicole Smith” in a recent glam Instagram post. But some quickly pointed out that the 35-year-old was actually a dead ringer for another famous icon – Barbie! “She’s had so much surgery it’s insane,” said one commentator. Harsh! Regardless of who KoKo was channelling, her plastic pic certainly caught the eye of ex-babydaddy Tristan Thompson, who gushed in the comments, “Perfection”. Don’t you mean, plasticine?!…

Friendly exes is all very good, but Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor take it to the next level! The pair married in 2000 and separated in 2017, but never divorced – and last week they reignited speculation they’re giving their marriage another chance when they attended the Emmy Awards together. Spies at the ceremony say Ben, 53, and Christine, 48 – who share kids Ella, 17, and Quinlin, 14 – were acting very much like a couple and didn’t leave each other’s sides the whole night. Hmm...…

Ellen DeGeneres recently revealed that she and Brad Pitt have an ex-girlfriend in common. And while the mystery woman’s identity still remains a secret, the 61-year-old is said to be secretly lusting over another of the actor’s former flames – Jennifer Aniston! Yep, you read that right! NW can reveal the talk show host has had feelings for Jen, 50, ever since they met some 30 years ago. “Ellen has always had the hots for Jen,” an insider exclusively tells us. “She’s adored Jen since she was on Friends. She was a huge fan of the show and they have become good pals over the years.” Such good friends, in fact, that Ellen has been a constant shoulder to cry on for the unlucky-in-love actress through all her many ups…

Jason’s got an Aqua fan! One lucky Jason Momoa fan gets a pizza the action, with the man in question putting his arm around her while leaving an LA pizza parlour with a slice and a beer in hand. He’s certainly deeply dishy! The Saddle Club George Clooney and Brie Larson pony up to shoot the latest Nespresso ad in Spain. It’s a good thing the pair can keep the smiles on their dials while working their asses off! Two guys & a cup of joe... Underneath all those snarky comments and social media burns, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman really are pals! The pair meet up for some brotherly bonding in New York, with Deadpool keeping Wolverine in fits of laughter during the coffee date. Aww! Tutu cute! Irina…

PLOG IT OUT What do you get when you combine jogging and picking up? Nope, not the latest Tinder offshoot, but “plogging”. Coming courtesy of those stand-up Swedish eco-citizens, this hot trend sees runners combining their daily jog with picking up any litter they see along the way. So-called due to a mix of Swedish words plocka upp (“to jog” and “to pick up”), this anti-rubbish run club craze has swept through the world, so give it a quick little Google to find events near you or just hit the streets! GREEN OUT AT THE GYM It’s no secret the most eco-friendly workout you can do is at your own home or buddying up with Mother Nature. But if you’re a diehard gym junkie, there’s still a few ways you…

“I didn’t know that he existed. I didn’t know he was a human being on this planet and I didn’t know much about country.” Before The Voice, Gwen Stefani drew a blank on now-partner Blake Shelton. “Men are like Labradors. They need three things – to run a lot, to be fed a lot and to be loved a lot.” Sounds like Minnie Driver’s blokes are always in the dog house! “I think he quite enjoys getting punched. He kept wanting to do it.” Christian Bale just loved hitting Matt Damon in the face in their new flick Ford v Ferrari.…

It’s about damn time Miley Cyrus made up her mind because this whole make-up, break-up nonsense has everyone confused – not least her estranged husband Liam Hemsworth, who’s on the receiving end of texts from the desperate singer begging to take her back! Indeed, in the wake of her split from Kaitlynn Carter, NW can reveal Miley’s gone back with her tail between her legs, asking Liam to give her a second chance. “It’s incredible that Miley can’t see she’s screwing everybody around,” says our insider. “Up until the past few days, she and Liam had only spoken via their legal teams, but all of a sudden she’s back.” Despite putting on a stoic face at the recent iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, pals say Miley’s been a wreck…

Victoria Beckham admits that, after 20 years of marriage, she’s not sure she and husband David have much in common other than their four kids. “I said to David, ‘God, what will we have to say to each other when it’s just us?’” the 45-year-old designer said recently. But she needn’t worry, as she could be spending her days without her husband and brood if she can’t get her drinking under control. Yep, insiders tell NW that Becks, 44, is disgusted by his wife’s recent drunken antics – especially after Posh got seriously sloshed during London Fashion Week. “David was furious with Victoria for drinking so much that she could barely stand up straight,” an insider exclusively spills. “She was stumbling all over the place and making a fool out…

MONSTER “I think the cute little monster is Miranda Tapsell. We know she can sing, as she showed us in The Sapphires, and her nurse backup dancers link to Love Child.” Madie Coutts, Art Director PRAWN “A prawn can be someone with a great body but not so pretty face, but I reckon TMS’s prawn breaks that rule because my guess – Kris Smith – is very easy on the eye.” Melissa Field, Associate Editor ROBOT “Robot definitely had the voice of a pro singer. I think it’s Cody Simpson. He grew up on the Gold Coast, was a gold medallist swimmer and is a UN advocate – all clues pointed out on the show.” Katie Garside, Designer LION “Curvy former Australian Idol star... my money is on Kate DeAraugo.”…

Royal baby alert! Meghan Markle has sparked speculation she and Prince Harry are giving their son Archie a sibling after debuting the beginning of a bump during the couple’s official tour of South Africa. What’s more, the Duchess of Sussex, 38, donned two dresses she wore while in the early stages of her pregnancy with Archie, now five months old. Talk about thrifty! “I would not wear maternity clothes unless I was expecting again,” wrote one online commentator. “She’s totally pregnant,” said another. Flowing frocks aren’t the only thing giving the game away, with the duchess’ fuller face also raising eyebrows. Harry, 35, and Meghan have confirmed they want two kids. Royal experts have also long predicted the pair would have back-to-back babies. “Royal couples tend to have children quite…

There’s one man Julia Roberts can’t seem to get enough of – her ex Jason Patric. The Pretty Woman became a real-life Runaway Bride when she left fiancé Kiefer Sutherland at the altar to run off with Jason in 1991 – and now, much to her husband Danny Moder’s displeasure, the pair are back in touch. Could history be repeating itself? “Julia and Jason reach out to each other to check in,” reveals NW’s exclusive insider. “Interestingly, it seems to be whenever Julia is unhappy in her life or relationship. It’s a pattern Danny’s noticed too. He’s paranoid that she’s set to run away. Julia laughs it off – but she’s quite predictable.” There’s no saying what prompted the contact this time, but Danny is right to be wary. Julia,…

It should’ve been an opportunity to shine, but Britney Spears’ appearance at the recent Daytime Beauty Awards was so awkward, she ended up begging her team to take her home. Poor thing... The troubled 37-year-old was a deer in headlights as she failed to pull off a convincing smile, before deciding that she simply couldn’t do it. Mere seconds after she stepped onto the red carpet with her PT boyfriend Sam Asghari – who was being honoured for Outstanding Achievement in Fitness – Britney was overheard telling her publicist, “I just want to go.” She then dashed to her SUV and locked herself in. “It’s like she’s a puppet being pushed into doing these things against her will,” says a source. “Sam was grinning like the Cheshire Cat... He was…

Hollywood is full of smoke and mirrors, but a recent blind gossip item is smoking everyone out of the building! After a “tragic life event a few years ago”, this “famous female singer” says she’s still “just not ready to date right now”. Only thing is, she’s been dating the whole time – “even when she was married to that man and having his children”. Huh?! “No matter how many times her girlfriend has begged her, coming out is just not an option at this point,” the blind item explains. Hmm……

Sustainability – everyone’s doing it. From having KeepCups at the ready, re-usable shopping bags on hand and nailing that healthy eating plan, celebs are leading the charge. But when it comes to beauty, chances are you still aren’t using plant-friendly products. It’s time to fall in love with the flourish of feel-good, clean brands which aren’t too hippy dippy or expensive. Ride the eco wave for the best excuse ever to make over your beauty bag. 1 FACE WIPES They’re single-handedly the most wasteful thing in your cleansing routine, which is why Face Halo has replaced around 370 million wipes globally over the past year with their non-toxic, re-usable make-up pads. Edible Beauty has followed suit, launching a limited edition puff made from bamboo. It’s hypo-allergenic and biodegradable. Love! 2…

ELYSE KNOWLES The Aussie model urges fans to do their research and look for meat that has been farmed ethically. “As long as I’m buying it from a butcher that is ethical and doing the right thing I feel OK about it,” Elyse explains. CRESSIDA BONAS The Tulip Fever star only eats seafood that has been caught from sustainable sources. “Unsustainable fishing practices are not only destroying our beautiful marine life but also hurting coastal communities, jobs and the people that depend on our oceans,” Prince Harry’s ex says. NICOLE KIDMAN OK, they mightn’t be to everyone’s taste, but mealworms, crickets and other creepy crawlies are an environmentally friendly food source that’s won a host of celeb fans including Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman! “Two billion people in the world…

PLOT: In this docu-series, US Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay and singer Travis Mills help distraught individuals track down and confront a former lover, friend or family member in an effort to uncover the harsh realities of why they “ghosted” them.
