As if Jen’s baby news wasn’t exciting enough, the star has confirmed a Friends reunion is finally happening in the shape of an unscripted TV special. While details on the show itself are sketchy, insiders tell NW that Jen and bestie Courteney Cox are acting as unofficial “team coaches” for their castmates, to help them “keep their s**t together” amid the hype. “Matt [Perry] is still battling his addictions and David [Schwimmer], who was the most reluctant to sign up, needs constant reassurance,” our source reveals. “On top of that, they’ve all got kids, families and other commitments – anything could go wrong.”…

SEB GUILHAUS This semi-pro AFL player and PT from Adelaide admits he’s “a bit goofy and eccentric” but adds that he wears his heart on his sleeve. After being single for eight years, the 30-year-old’s ready to find The One! KASEY OSBORNE After spending years rubbing shoulders with Hollywood’s rich and famous, dancer Kasey has moved back to Sydney to find the man of he dreams. “I’m ready to settle down with someone who will commit to me,” the 31-year-old says. DREW BRAUER He’s the hunky musician from Cairns who loves his laid-back lifestyle, but he admits there’s one thing missing from his life – a wife! “I’m ready to be vulnerable and open to love,” says Drew, 31, despite having had his heart broken. Aww!…

Kirk Douglas wasn’t just a Hollywood icon – he was the glue holding his son Michael’s marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones together. And just days after the legend’s funeral, sources tell NW that the Chicago star finally got the balls to sit her hubby down for a bombshell announcement. “I want out,” the 50-year-old reportedly told Michael, 75, leaving him “blindsided” and “begging her not to leave”, according to a family insider. After months of back and forth, it was Kirk’s death that gave Catherine the push she needed. “Now that her father-in-law is gone, so is her resolve to stay in an unhappy situation,” the source explains, adding that their son Dylan, 19, is at uni and daughter Carys, 16, will soon fly the coop too, “so there’s no use…

So far, Byron Bay marriage celebrant Jacqui Patterson has flown under the radar on Australian Survivor: All Stars – but this week, the 52-year-old is set to bring it. “You never want to be a goat [follower] on Survivor,” she says. “If you coast to the end on other players’ coattails, you might as well go home in the first week.” Sing it, sister! ‘IF I CAN GIVE UP CHAMPAGNE, I CAN WIN THIS GAME!’ Jacqui’s also bringing a secret weapon into the game – she’s a world champion body builder! I mean, we kinda guessed, thanks to her massive muscles, but the strength and discipline she’s developed is going to help her smash it in Fiji, she says. Jacqui, you are beyond ripped – what’s the story? After I…

Sorry, ladies – Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor is reportedly off the market, with rumours emerging that Leonardo DiCaprio secretly got hitched to Camila Morrone just before the Oscars. After two years of dating, we hear the pair exchanged vows on a private island in the Bahamas – and buzz is that the much-younger model-turned-actress, 22, could be up the duff! “Camila and Leo have been hinting that they’re trying,” reports a close source. “Camila can’t wait to be a mum and Leo’s fully ready to be a father. He’s said he can see himself with three or four little ones.” While model magnet Leo, 45, has been reluctant to tie the knot in the past, his Once Upon A Time In... Hollywood co-star Brad Pitt apparently encouraged him to make…

Let’s face it, losing weight can be seriously hard work. The cravings and hunger pangs are tough enough, but that’s not even considering the other painstaking tasks you’re often expected to accomplish – from meal planning to logging calories to timing every meal.

There are no other rules. And you may enjoy other benefits, too, including better sleep, a happier mood and less risk of heart disease.

OK, I admit it, I’m a weirdo. The NW-ettes have known this ever since I confessed to a fondness for “bin chooks” (you know, those exotic-looking ibises that rummage through our rubbish?), but they only truly got it when we saw the new pics of Nic Cage out on a date at a graveyard... where he has a crypt ready and waiting (see page 27). Everyone else was gobsmacked by the shots, while I had to admit I’d also once taken a date to a historic burial site. It was a first date. On reflection, perhaps it’s not a surprise there was no second date… and that I’m single. Look, cemeteries are usually really peaceful, and I enjoy all the old-fashioned and unusual names, as well as judging the font…

While everything started off swimmingly for Cathy Evans and Josh Philak, it seems to have all unravelled for the pair after multiple tiffs, tears and one scary mother-in-law. But NW hears the real reason Josh, 28, and Cathy, 27, may be heading for splitsville is because they disagree when it comes to baby talk! Yep, our source says, “Cathy is feeling pressure from Josh to have a child, but she’s not ready!” Eek! “Josh wants her to fall pregnant this year, but Cathy isn’t ready for such a big responsibility yet and it’s stressing her out!” Indeed, it’s no surprise that Josh is ready to be a father after admitting he wanted to be a dad since he was 13. “I’m ready to settle down with The One and start…

By his own admission, Ben Affleck is the epitome of compulsive behaviour. And his new obsession is his wildest one yet – winning back his ex-wife Jennifer Garner! The actor, 47, has reportedly become so fixated on pulling off a massive declaration of love for the woman who dealt so bravely with his infamous addictions to booze and gambling that he’s hatched a cunning plot to get her to marry him all over again. “Ben is secretly in talks to buy a stunning ranch near Jen’s family farm in Oklahoma,” an insider tells NW. “She always talked about how she’d love to move back there and Ben thinks that if he can make this happen, she’ll fall back into his arms.” I mean, who doesn’t swoon over corn and cows,…

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and a simmering Jennifer Lopez is quietly plotting her revenge on Tom Cruise after discovering it was the Hollywood, er, Top Gun who blocked her chances of an Oscar. Reow! We’re told the 50-year-old mum-of-two has just uncovered a secret campaign that the devoted Scientologist, 57, ran in order to stop her receiving a nomination for her role in Hustlers and sink her acting career. “Whatever he did, it worked,” whispers a pal. “It was the biggest snub of the year – it just didn’t make sense. But now we know why. The rumours are all over town that Tom was behind it and Jen’s absolutely seething.” There’s no doubt the Cocktail legend made things very uncomfortable for Jen during awards season.…

Even though her ally Mat “The Godfather” Rogers has been sent packing, All-Star Moana Hope is stepping up to take his place. “Nobody knows what I’m capable of – but they’re going to find out,” Mo, 32, tells NW. “Because I was so sick when I competed in 2018, I’ve been underestimated.” A determined-to-prove-herself Mo returned to Fiji just three days after she married the “love of my life”, Isabella Carlstrom. That’s dedication! “It was pretty hectic,” admits the former AFLW star. “But Bel knew I had to go back and finish what I’d started.” The pair met in 2017 and wed last year. “Our connection was instant,” Mo has said. For now, though, she’s about connecting with a Survivor win, saying, “I won’t let anything stop me getting what…

ADRIANA LIMA If you’re partial to a sugary coffee to start the day, try Adriana’s simple swap. The supermodel and mother-of-two says, “I cannot leave home without my coffee. I do coffee with honey because it stabilises the sugar levels.” She adds, “If I have honey, I don’t crave as much sugar later.” KATE HUDSON The actress makes ice cream using only two ingredients: 450g strawberries and four bananas. The trick is to freeze the sliced fruits, then use a food processor to blend into a soft-serve consistency. Freeze for 3-4 hours and you’ll have a refreshing, guilt-free dessert. JENNIFER LOPEZ It ain’t easy looking as hot as J.Lo, but limiting sugar could be a start. The Hustlers star and her fiancé Alex Rodriguez embarked on a gruelling 10-day sugar-and…

Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20  Try to be more proactive this week, please. That’s easier said than done, of course, but Mars signals unhappy outcomes for all typically shy Pisceans who refuse to put themselves forward for a brilliant job interview or a super-hot date! Aries MAR 21 – APRIL 20  This week, Venus should bring at least one rather promising financial opportunity. Providing you pitch it well, friends or family members might be willing to back a bright idea of yours. Any kind of joint venture set up now bodes well for the future. Taurus APRIL 21 – MAY 21  Obsessing over perceived social slights could prove bad for your emotional health. According to planetary patterns, continually moaning to mates might end up driving them away. Take an…

If you can remember Sara-Marie Fedele’s iconic bum dance or the infamous turkey slap incident, then listen up! With Big Brother Australia returning to our screens this year, NW hears that Australia’s Got Talent winner Jack Vidgen will be joining this season’s housemates. Yaasss! And we hear the sweet-voiced singer is causing strife on set... “They’ve only just begun filming and Jack’s already being a bit of a diva,” an on-set spy says, adding that although producers think he will be a crowd favourite, they do have their reservations. “Everyone’s worried that he may not be able to handle the experience and he’s going to be hard to manage.” Uh-oh! Joining the Yes I Am singer, 23, our source says that we can expect to see some other familiar faces…

Jennifer Aniston can see it clearly. When asked what she’s looking forward to in the future, the Friends star replies, “I see the ocean, I hear laughter, I see kids running… That’s the joyous snapshot in my head.” Now that picture-perfect scene is so much closer to becoming a reality, with NW learning that she and Brad Pitt are just a few signatures and official documents away from finally giving Jen, 51, the baby she’s always wanted. ‘JEN CAN’T WAIT TO START A FAMILY WITH HIM’ “They’ve been talking about trying for one of their own, but the more realistic option has always been adoption,” a source tells us exclusively. Another insider adds, “They’ve been talking about adopting a little girl. Starting a family of their own was always a…

She’s the jilted bride from last year who’s walking down the aisle again. But despite being a self-confessed “optimist” who says she couldn’t wait to meet her new hubby Seb Guilhaus, Lizzie Sobinoff admits she’s shed a few fears along the way too, telling NW, “I was scared as hell going in to this marriage – and extremely guarded.” So what else does Lizzie, 28, say about her second MAFS marriage? Hi Lizzie, how was it for you this time after such a horrific experience last season? I’m an optimist and someone who really likes to keep themselves positive, but I definitely feared having an identical scenario to last year. Do you mean being paired with another Sam Ball type? Yes, I was 100 percent worried and nervous that I…

Another couple appears to have bitten the dust! Uh-huh, while Aleks Markovic and Ivan Sarakula see themselves as being one of the strongest couples in the experiment, NW hears the golden pair are heading for a shock split. Oh, no! “They are far from the happy couple they’re pretending to be,” reveals a source. “They’re just making out like they’re still together and faking it for the fame and Instagram likes.” Say it ain’t so! ‘SHE’S A CONTROL FREAK!’ But that’s not all. While it looks as though Aleks, 27, wears the pants in the relationship and seems less interested in Ivan, 30, than he is in her, that couldn’t be further from the truth, claims our spy! “We were all out at dinner and Aleks was saying to random…

Ben’s hopes for a romantic reunion with Jen could be derailed by shocking new rumours of an affair with Lindsay Lohan, 33, of all people. Hollywood is ablaze with gossip the pair enjoyed a fling 18 months ago – and it wasn’t the first time they’ve hooked up! “She was partying with Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben and all those big actor guys in 2011,” a Tinseltown source spills. “Lilo was pretty much chewed up and spat out. It’s why she ended up in rehab in 2013 – and Ben visited her there. They’ve got a lot of history those two... they’re like peas in a party pod.” Sounds, er, seedy!…

Justin Bieber is still running his mouth about being able to beat Tom in a fight, telling James Corden recently, “He’s not the guy you see in movies. My agility is insane – he’s an actor!” And the veteran star isn’t happy about it, issuing Biebs, 25, with a strongly worded legal letter to make him shut up. We’re told, “Tom’s insurance won’t let him fight and Justin’s challenge is going viral, which makes him look like a scaredy cat. It had to be shut down. Tom can’t have his image being undermined.”…

New Orleans is the US capital of all things voodoo and spooky, but even locals have decided actor Nicolas Cage is a little too strange for their tastes! The Ghost Rider star, 56, was spotted on a date with a mystery woman at the St Louis Cemetery, where they visited the 3m-tall pyramid-shaped tomb – emblazoned with the Latin for “Everything from One” – which he’d had built 10 years ago to prep for his eventual demise. “It was odd... He was tenderly holding her hand and showing her around,” a witness tells NW. “He seemed to treat it as a date. Nic’s a weird dude who’s obsessed with death. He was probably promising the woman could be buried there alongside him.” Nic’s freaky relationship with New Orleans spans back…

Scarlett Johansson and her fiancé Colin Jost are planning a magical Disney-themed big day after putting her six-year-old daughter Rose in charge as wedding planner! Pals say the Black Widow actress, 35, and the Saturday Night Live comedian, 37, are “thrilled” with Rose’s idea of having the ceremony at The Happiest Place on Earth – after all, they’ve already got annual passes to Disney theme parks in California, Florida and Paris! Colin’s little brother Casey has said that the pair are so hooked, there will likely only be Mickey Mouse merchandise on their gift registry, adding, “They’re both Disney-heads. They like Disney World and Disneyland.” Meanwhile, Rose is reportedly taking her role “very seriously”, insisting Scar-Jo wear a Cinderella-style gown, with her future stepdad in full Prince Charming costume. The…

BUBLE’S BIGGEST FANS ARE GORILLAS! Michael Buble wasn’t monkeying around when he recently came face to face with his biggest fans – three gorillas at the Werribee Open Range Zoo in Victoria! “Apparently when they go to bed at night, they play them my Christmas music,” Buble, 44, enthused in a video, before showcasing his dulcet tones by putting on a beast of a show for the furry creatures. Fangirling over their “amazing reactions” to his tunes, Michael added, “They’re just so aware of everything and understanding!” The creatures’ keeper explains that the Canadian crooner’s “beautiful, low tones mimic the gorillas’ pleasure grumbles”. Ape-solutely amazing! JOSH THINKS HE’S TOO HANDSOME FOR HOLLYWOOD! Transformers star Josh Duhamel’s hunky appearance is both a blessing and a curse. “A lot of guys would…

Recently, NW exclusively revealed all the saucy details behind MKR: The Rivals contestants Lauren Matthews and Ben Key’s kissing romp on the couch. But now we hear that a lot more action went down that night! NW’s on-set informant says there’s a graphic video of their sexual encounter that was filmed by one of the show’s producers and it’s bordering on “pornographic” behaviour. OMG! “They lied that they just fell asleep on the couch,” the insider spills of Ben, 27, and Lauren, 35. “As soon as they realised they were being filmed, they were furious.” But that’s not all – Ben then tried to smash the producer’s camera. “He was outraged and threatened to punch him!” adds the source. “Things got heated.” In more ways than one it seems. Yikes!…

“I gave him a big hug afterwards and said, ‘There’s no f**king way that anybody’s going to see my Irish butt.’” Liam Neeson’s stuntman saved his, er, ass when he agreed to be his bum double. “Obsessed with it.
