They say you always want what you don’t have when it comes to hair, and in my case, that couldn’t be truer. I have the dead-straight, wispy thin hair of a baby – and I hate it. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trying desperately to overcome nature. From mountains of mousse and furious backcombing, to a year-long love affair with hair extensions (see pic at left!), which sadly only left me even more challenged in the follicle department. So I couldn’t be happier that our beauty editor Laura has joined forces with Viviscal to create the ultimate guide to getting the thick, luscious locks of my dreams ( flip the mag over to find it!). Happy reading, and may all your days be good hair ones!…

Miley Cyrus recently shared a glimpse into her laid-back life with fiancé Liam Hemsworth. Speaking about her lack of technology skills, the 23-year-old admitted her actor beau is a lot more up-to-date with the latest crazes than she is. ‘I feel like I’ll be an old lady that’s too held back, because I don’t keep up with it,’ she said. ‘I’m not on Pokémon Go. Liam tried to go to the car wash because it was a… what do you call it? PokéSpot. Like, “Got to go find them and catch them all! Ahh!”’ In the candid moment, she also opened up about red carpet appearances, revealing, ‘I had to do the [ A Very Murray Christmas ] premiere, and I will never do a red carpet again.…

Taylor Swift has already well and truly shaken off Tom Hiddleston. OK ! has learnt that the pop star is telling friends she’s ready to move on – with Zac Efron! ‘She’s been talking about him nonstop since her break-up with Tom,’ reveals an insider, explaining that Taylor, 26, and Zac, 28, first met in 2012 while promoting their animated film The Lorax , and have kept in contact via phone calls and texts. ‘She’s always said she feels a strong connection to Zac, but could never act on it because they’ve always been dating other people,’ adds the mole. Now that they’re both single – the Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates actor split from his girlfriend of almost…

NICK JACENKO The millionaire clothing factory owner had a close relationship with daughter Roxy until he split from her mum Doreen in 2011. ‘I haven’t talked to Roxy for a year,’ Nick confirmed in 2014. LISA HO The Sydney fashion designer separated from her ex-husband Philip Smouha in 2011, before meeting Nick in 2013 – but it’s safe to say she and Roxy don’t get along. DOREEN DAVIS PR mogul Roxy has stuck close to her mum Doreen, who is Head of Admin at Roxy’s Ministry of Talent agency and lives above the apartment Roxy shares with her kids Pixie, five, and Hunter, two. RUBY DAVIS Roxy’s sister Ruby was just 18 when she allegedly hit the PR superstar in the face outside a Kings Cross nightclub in 2008 during…

MOVING IN! Jessica Mauboy’s Darwin-based beau Themeli Magripilis is moving in with her in Sydney. ‘I’m going to be with him for the rest of my life,’ she says. GAME OVER Cara Delevingne and singer St Vincent are no more. ‘Pressures of the long distance romance just became too much,’ dishes a pal. PERFECT NUPTIALS Pitch Perfect co-stars Anna Camp and Skylar Astin tied the knot in California on September 10. Aca-dorable! RING A DING DING! Amanda Seyfried’s The Last Word co-star Thomas Sadoski has put a ring on it, asking for the 30-year-old’s hand in marriage! ‘Tommy and Amanda recently got engaged and shared the happy news with family and close friends,’ reveals a pal. Yay!…

Full on’ and ‘scary’: three words Lara Worthington has used to describe bringing her second child into the world. So it’s little wonder that in the weeks prior to growing her family from three to four, the Aussie model and businesswoman was lying low. Her first child, Rocket Zot, unexpectedly arrived a week early on March 24 last year. So for her second tot, said to be another boy, Lara – who recently enjoyed one final pre-birth vacay on Bora Bora in Tahiti – wasn’t taking any chances, confessing late last month to being apprehensive about the birth as the due date drew closer. ‘Knowing you have to give birth and there is no other way you can go is so scary’ she admitted. ‘There’s no going back.’ Not that…

Celebs recently converged on the Big Apple to see and be seen at New York Fashion Week – but the biggest party in town was undoubtedly Beyoncé’s 35th birthday bash. However, there was one person conspicuously absent from the September 5 do – reality star Kim Kardashian. Kim’s no-show was all the more obvious given that just hours earlier she’d been at her husband Kanye West’s Saint Pablo Tour show at NY’s Madison Square Garden. Celebs, including Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Alicia Keys and Joan Smalls, joined Kim at the rapper’s sold-out performance, before they all kicked on to Beyoncés star-studded ’70s themed Soul Train party. All, that is, but Kim. Friends say its no accident that the 35-year-old star’s invite got lost in the mail. ‘Kim would try to…

Buh-bye, daggy joggers and tracksuits! Being JLo’s man means having to dress the part. ‘If she is photographed with a guy, she wants to make sure he complements her style,’ says a source. ‘So she would definitely give Ben a makeover.’ After all, she’s done it before. During their romance from 2002 to 2004, the singer turned her beau into a Ken doll. ‘I did kind of like, say, “You’re a movie star! You should wear a suit! You should do this with your hair!”’ she admits. ‘[Ben] didn’t do anything he didn’t want to do… He had some good fashion moments when he was with me!’…

’Girl stop…please get healthy please,’ was the plaintive cry one fan posted on Aussie model Catherine McNeil’s Instagram recently in response to the stunner’s gaunt frame. ‘Seriously you look like a ghost,’ wrote another. But the rapidly disappearing star – who used to date Ruby Rose – insists she’s the picture of perfect health. ‘I go to the gym in my building, probably five or seven days a week,’ the 27-year-old claims. ‘I’ve started to take care of myself very well.’…

“I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows” It was scary’ Renée Zellweger says of returning to her role in Bridget Jones’s Baby. ‘But from the moment I read the script, I was reminded of just how much I love Bridget.’ A lot has happened since Renée first played London’s most famous singleton 15 years ago – long before smartphones and social media took over the dating world. ‘I did go to a wedding last year and I did learn what Tinder was,’ reveals the 47-year-old actress, who is happily dating musician Doyle Bramhall. ‘We sat and went through my friend’s Tinder page, which is pretty incredible. I can’t imagine…’ But if fans have missed Bridget, it also has to be said that…

“GETTING TO THE OTHER SIDE TAKES A LOT OF WORK… BUT I AM HERE” There are so many personal aspects of this whole journey that people are not invited to know’ Lea Michele, 30, says of her time with late boyfriend and Glee co-star Cory Monteith before he died from a drug overdose in 2013. ‘We had a full life, and that had lots of different details that will be ours forever, for only us to know.’ The actress, best known for her role as the quirky Rachel Berry on musical comedy Glee, dealt with the incredible heartbreak of losing Cory while in the public eye – but she’s come out the other side stronger than ever. ‘I worked… very hard, and I got back to that place where I…

THE GUYS MIGHT PUNCH ON! ‘Here’s the thing. The difference between The Bachelorette and The Bachelor is there’s only so much one man can say to another before that threat of physical violence becomes real,’ shares Osher. Hmm. THE BRO CODE IS NO MORE ‘Thankfully, that left us in season one,’ tells the happy host. THE GUYS ARE GLORIOUS ‘This year the guys are extraordinarily cool. I think the shortest is six-two, and they are all incredibly well-built.’ THE DATES WILL IMPRESS ‘Georgia designed some of her dates with the eye candy in mind.’ THERE’S NO SASHA ‘It wasn’t obvious for quite a while,’ he says of picking the winner straight up. Watch The Bachelorette Wed-Thu, 7pm, Channel…

New York Fashion Week is definitely a time for making bold fash statements, with bloggers, stylists and celebs pulling out all the stops to look their finest at the annual event. But with the style wins come the epic fashion fails – and we think we’ll have to put these stars on the miss list. With double denim, missing pants and bum-baring cut-outs among the fashion faux pas, we reckon these guys should pay closer attention to what’s on the runway next time. CALL THE FASHION POLICE ! We’d be wearing a scowl too if our stylist dressed us in one of these disasters. And does someone want to let Kelly Osbourne know that handbag pooches are, like, so 2002?!…

Jessica Alba has revealed she has a fake tooth thanks to a hardcore make-out session with a co-star gone wrong! ‘Basically, one of my front teeth is pretty much fake. I broke it in half,’ she explains. ‘It was a comedy make-out session, and we’re trying to be really funny, and we were slamming against walls, and I slammed my mouth.’ But the 35-year-old admits it was breaking the news to now-hubby Cash Warren that was most embarrassing. ‘Then I went home and I was like, “Babe, my tooth is broken,” and he was like, “From what?” and it’s such an awkward conversation.’…

NIGHTMARE OF THE WEEK Pregnant Katherine Heigl is hard work for her hubby Josh! ‘He’s like, “What can I do?” because I’m pregnant and I’m hormonal and nothing is good enough… You always think they can do better.’ IN-YOUR-DREAMS AWARD We think Emily Ratajkowski might be just a little out of Shane Warne’s league – but that didn’t stop the former Aussie cricketer having a crack and ‘liking’ one of the brunette beauty’s scantily clad Insty snaps. FAIL OF THE WEEK In a desperate attempt to win back JLo, Casper Smart tried to surprise her with two dozen pink roses – sweet idea except, according to an insider, ‘He charged the gift to Jen’s personal account’. Just no.…

With her hubby Keith Urban playing the Canadian leg of his tour, Nicole Kidman was left flying solo as she promoted her film Lion at the Toronto International Film Festival last weekend. Perhaps not surprisingly, the 49-year-old actress looked noticeably relieved when she met up with her good pal Naomi Watts on the red carpet. ‘When you run into your #bff even for one second, it’s a winning moment #tff #loveyoutothemoon’ Naomi captioned a cute Instagram pic of the pair. With Nicole and Keith’s busy schedules, attending important events alone has become part of the routine for the superstar duo. It’s just one of the challenges the pair have needed to overcome during their 10-year marriage. ‘I had such a learning curve in our marriage!’ confesses 48-year-old Keith, who says…

Roxy Jacenko’s family dramas have taken a very public turn after she denied claims she struck her estranged dad Nick, 66, and his fashion designer fiancée Lisa Ho, 56, outside of a Sydney restaurant. A local publication confirmed police are investigating the incident, during which Nick claims he and Lisa were confronted by Roxy and her mum Doreen Davis, 68. ‘[Roxy] was screaming, “You should be ashamed of yourself,”’ says Nick, who alleges Roxy, 36, grabbed him by his shirt and struck him on the head. She is then said to have turned her fury on Lisa, delivering several blows to her head and neck. Nick and Lisa say Roxy’s mum Doreen then went on the attack, striking out at both of them. The alleged incident took place on May…

“AFTER 12 YEARS AND SIX KIDS TOGETHER, IT’S OVER” He was thoroughly enjoying himself. While in Croatia in early September, Brad Pitt bunked in a beautiful waterside hotel in Šibenik, embarked on a boat cruise up the Adriatic Coast, took in the city’s stunning St James Cathedral and toured the site of a $1.3 billion luxury real estate development in nearby Zablace in which he’s hoping to invest. ‘He was drinking cocktails and seeing the sights with friends, acting like a carefree, single man on vacation,’ says an eyewitness. ‘He seemed to be having the time of his life.’ But his demeanor was far different just days earlier. ‘Brad’s leaving for the Adriatic Coast prompted a fight with his wife that has sealed the fate of their marriage,’ a friend…

Denying rumours of a feud, Kanye has always maintained that Kim and Beyoncé are friends. ‘They love each other, they respect each other,’ the 39-year-old rapper insists. But Kimye’s body language told a very different story at last month’s VMAs. The pair kept their eyes trained on their phones as they sat backstage during Beyoncé’s performance, suggesting things are far more frosty than the famous couple are letting on. Rumour also has it that Kanye was secretly furious when Jay Z and Beyoncé skipped his 2014 wedding to Kim. ‘Beyoncé wasn’t going to allow a Kardashian to socially climb above her,’ a friend revealed. ‘And Jay Z didn’t want Kanye with Kim.’…

Once heralded for her gorgeous curves, Gigi Hadid has been looking thinner than ever lately, with the pressure of New York Fashion Week appearances pushing the 21-year-old to breaking point. And with her role in NYFW doubled this year – she not only walked the runway but also took on backstage fitting duties, thanks to her collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger – ‘Gigi’s totally stressed out and exhausted’ a friend reveals. Although she insists she deals with stress with ‘art, baths, cooking [and] performing Broadway numbers in my [apartment]’, it looks as if eating has fallen by the wayside for the busy babe. ‘Her weight’s gone down to [48kg] and she’s gone down another dress size to a 00,’ reports the mate. ‘She’s lucky if she eats 500 calories a day.’…

There was just as much drama in the front row as there was on the runway at this year’s New York Spring/Summer 2017 fashion shows! Taylor Swift put her best foot forward following her break-up with Tom Hiddleston, hitting up the Tommy x Gigi show with squad member Martha Hunt in tow. The Blank Space singer was at the September 10 show to support good friend Gigi Hadid as she modelled her debut collaboration with the iconic brand. Clearly Tay thought the show slayed. ‘SO PROUD OF YOU GIGI!! That show was insane,’ she posted on Insty afterwards. Swifty whipped photographers into a frenzy during the show when she had a casual singalong to This Is What You Came For – aka that song she wrote with her ex Calvin…

Melissa George’s partner Jean-David Blanc is staring down the barrel of domestic violence allegations after the Aussie star turned up at a French police station with facial injuries in the early hours of September 7. The 40-year-old actress arrived at a local station in the centre of Paris at 3am, having sustained visible injuries to her face and complaining of pain, nausea and dizziness. Melissa reportedly told police she had been verbally and physically abused by her partner of four years, alleging he struck out with ‘violent blows’ during a moment of severe ‘stress’. She filed a formal complaint against Jean-David, adding that he had been displaying signs of depression. A policeman escorted the star to Cochin Hospital to have her injuries treated. While police have declined to comment, Jean-David…

so she could be on the red carpet with me and prove to herself she wasn’t being defeated by this terrible disease.’ She adds, ‘That’s what I was thinking about that day. I wasn’t thinking about what I looked like or what people thought. I was thinking about my friend.’ Speaking up in his co-star’s defence, Patrick adds, ‘She should not have to face such scrutiny. Hollywood can be unsparingly brutal – and it’s always worse for women.’ For a similar reason, Renée prefers to downplay the subject of Bridget’s weight. Naturally slim in real life, Renée gained weight for all three of the Bridget films. ‘Bridget is a perfectly normal weight and I’ve never understood why it matters so much. No male actor would get such scrutiny if he…

‘It felt like a very natural fit,’ Megan Gale, 41, tells OK ! of taking on the ANTM judging gig. However, nothing could’ve prepared the model mum for her first day on the job, where she was left in tears after a contender opened up. ‘One of the girls was saying how she couldn’t break into the industry because she’d been told she was too curvy and that’s what I heard a lot when I was starting out,’ she explains. ‘It was like hearing my own story and it really got me emotional.’…

Wednesday, 9.30pm, Channel 10 and ELEVEN 2 SUITS Harvey (Gabriel Macht) is untouchable, and as the finale plays out, we’ll see how skilful he really is as he tries to swing his lawyer mate Mike (Patrick J Adams), who is recently out of lockup, back to his side.

The three-year-old is known for her killer scowls and toddler tantrums, and mum Kim Kardashian, 35, and dad Kanye West, 39, are said to be worried about her social skills. ‘The arrival of [their nine-month-old son] Saint has highlighted some bratty behaviour, and they figure the best thing is for her to share with other kids,’ an insider dishes. It seems poor little North West is lacking in the friendship department. ‘North’s only friend is her cousin Penelope Disick,’ reveals an insider. ‘Kim [Kardashian] wants North to grow up with an extended group of lifelong friends she can trust.’ So to fix these issues fast, Kimye are looking for some very specific pint-sized pals! ‘They have in their minds the type of friends they want for her,’ says the insider.…

No mere bra is good enough for Mariah Carey, 46 – she requires a helper to handle her, ahem, assets. For a cameo in Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler’s upcoming comedy The House , the diva showed up on set (hours late, of course) with a massive entourage that included one guy ‘whose sole purpose was to push up Mariah’s boobs’, says an eyewitness. ‘In the middle of filming she’d blurt out, “Come fix me!” and he would scramble over and squish her boobs together with both hands.’ Mariah’s rep denies the claims and insists the film’s producers were ‘thrilled’ with Mimi’s work.…

Spring is here at last and I couldn’t be happier! With every new season, the change in weather inspires me to do a little spring cleaning of my beauty routine. Right now, I’m focusing on my hair – I’m booked in for a cut and I’m switching up my signature style, moving from smooth and straight to textured and tousled. And I want more of all the good things – shine, volume, strength and, most of all, more strands. Are you with me? Of course! It’s for that reason that OK! has partnered with hair health experts Viviscal to take your mane from strength to strength. On the pages to follow, we’ve also added a little styling know-how and some simple tips to eating, sleeping and exercising your way to…

Say goodbye to sleek strands as spring hair is all about texture and body. It’s sexy with a side of cool and complements any outfit. Plus, it make your tresses appear thicker, it’s great for unwashed locks and works for every occasion. And as these celebs show, it suits everyone, regardless of hair type. Piecey ponytails and wavy lobs both require similar prep to create texture before wearing your hair down or whipping it up. For the pony, follow in the footsteps of stars like Margot, Kendall, Hailey and Julianne. The key is to keep it soft and wispy around the hairline, with body on top and height in that ponytail. If you have short hair like Cara, Lucy, Rihanna and JLaw, keep your lob close to your collarbone and…

While the rest of us have been busy marvelling at her incredible transformation over the past few months, Khloé Kardashian still struggles with the pressure to stay slim. ‘I miss my in shape body,’ the reality star captioned a throwback snap on Instagram recently. ‘Put down the fork Khloé.’ The forlorn post came as a surprise to fans, who think KoKo’s still looking as fab as ever. ‘[You’re] beautiful no matter what size or shape you are,’ one reminded the hardworking hottie.…

She split from Taylor Kinney in July after five years together, and while Lady Gaga insists she’s in a good place, her wardrobe choices and crazy antics tell a different story. Stepping out in London on September 9, Gaga turned heads as she strutted around in a hotpants-and-crop-top combo, showing off both under-boob and under-butt. The 30-year-old singer, who announced she and Taylor were ‘taking a break’ earlier this year, recently spoke about wanting to leave her wild ways behind in her twenties – but admitted it wasn’t going to plan. ‘I find in my thirties, I haven’t actually calmed down,’ she said. ‘I calm down for periods of time and then I’m actually worse – I’m more wild for a short period of time.’ Fortunately, a pal reveals the…

Congratulations are in order for Natalie Portman, who is expecting her second baby with her choreographer husband Benjamin Millepied! Pregnancy rumours had already been swirling for weeks when the 35-year-old actress unveiled her growing baby bump at the Venice Film Festival on September 8. Natalie was in town to promote her latest flick Planetarium, along with her co-star Lily-Rose Depp. While Nat remained tight-lipped about the pregnancy news, she let her blossoming belly do the talking as she walked the red carpet in a fitted white satin Grecian-style gown. Already a mum to five-year-old Aleph, Natalie admits that motherhood has changed her – but for the better! ‘It made me much calmer under stress,’ says Nat, who relishes her time off even more now that she’s a mum. ‘When I’m…

Second runner-up Olena Khamula, 23, knew she wouldn’t win Richie’s heart as she sat on the plane over to Bali. ‘I thought I’d made a mistake and I should have walked when Rachael left,’ she tells OK !. Besides not being compatible, she suspected the Bach was leading her on. ‘I felt like he was lying to me and that he didn’t share the same feelings as he did with the other two girls,’ she explains, admitting that she ended it with him! ‘I told him, “I don’t love you.” He was taken aback… When I didn’t get a rose, I already had my speech prepared.’ Ouch!

It felt like my heart had been torn out of my chest,’ said Jennifer Lopez of her devastating break-up. But she wasn’t talking about her most recent split in August from on-off boy toy Casper Smart, or even the 2011 end of her seven-year marriage to Marc Anthony. To JLo, the one who got away was her former fiancé, Ben Affleck. And now he’s back. With JLo suddenly single and Jennifer Garner preparing to officially file for divorce from Ben once and for all, the couple have been busy reconnecting, OK! has exclusively learnt.

Her acting career has kicked off to a stellar start, with a leading role in the upcoming film Planetarium , which premiered at the 73rd Venice Film Festival. But as Lily-Rose Depp stood beside co-star Natalie Portman at the event on September 8, fans couldn’t help but notice the 17-year-old’s thin frame. ‘She is scary skinny,’ wrote one online commenter. The model-turned-actress has been under intense pressure lately, with dad Johnny Depp’s bitter divorce battle only recently coming to an end. And it seems fans aren’t the only ones who are scared about Lily’s wellbeing, with 53-year-old Johnny also expressing concern for his daughter. ‘To be honest, I’m quite worried [about her],’ he has said.…

“IF I COULD DO THE WHOLE THING OVER AGAIN, I WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING” Australia, meet your new Bachelorette Georgia Love! She’s warm, bubbly and her infectious laugh fills the room… but surely it’s her surname that helped her score the role of leading lady, right? ‘It probably did work in my favour’ laughs the 28-year-old when asked in jest. ‘And that’s not to say that I don’t live up to it!’ The former newsreader is 100 per cent committed to finding her soulmate on the show – she even resigned from her dream job to find The One among 16 hopefuls, and has no regrets. ‘If I could do the whole thing over again, I wouldn’t change a thing,’ she reveals to OK!.

The biggest Block reveal this season might be even greater than anyone anticipated with engaged Brisbane couple Will and Karlie, both 25, letting slip to OK! that a TV wedding was a discussion they had with producers. ‘We were asked’ admits electrician Will, who proposed to his high school sweetheart two years ago. One thing’s for certain – leaving all the planning for their big day in the capable hands of the production crew would take a huge weight off. ‘We had zero time to do any wedding planning on the show’ shares quantity surveyor Karlie. While the duo dream of an intimate wedding, they both know this won’t happen, even if television cameras aren’t involved. ‘I have such a big family, and once you take that into account with…

Katy Perry has at last spoken out about her feud with Taylor Swift, revealing she wants an apology from the 26-year-old! Answering questions on Twitter, the 31-year-old hit out at Tay when a fan asked if she’d ever collaborate with her arch-enemy. ‘If she says sorry, sure!’ Katy responded. In 2014, Tay claimed her song Bad Blood was about a famous former friend who ‘did something so horrible. I was like, “Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies,”’ Tay said at the time.…

YES TO YOGA ‘Forward-bending positions enhance blood circulation in the head, which nourishes the root of the hair,’ says Viviscal hair expert Helen Feeney. EAT UP A healthy diet is crucial to keeping your locks lush. Because hair is made up of proteins and strengthened with vitamins and minerals, reach for fresh greens, salmon and chicken, oranges and guava for vitamin C, and cinnamon to stimulate circulation. RELAX & UNWIND Stress is a major cause of hair loss. To help you unwind at night-time, apply this oil to your torso before showering and inhale with the steam.
