I can’t believe 2014 is almost over. It flew by quicker than a Kim Kardashian marriage. Yep, we had another one of those this year, as well as scandals, splits and scuffles aplenty – who can forget THAT elevator incident, or the sight of James Packer brawling in the street (one of two punch-ups Miranda Kerr caused this year!). But as we put the finishing touches on our Best & Worst of the year issue, something none of us could have predicted was happening just around the corner from our office in Sydney’s CBD. A day that scared and united us, and made the thought of spending the holidays with our loved ones seem even more important than ever. Wishing you all a safe and merry Christmas. HAVE YOUR SAY!…

When a gaunt Angelina Jolie revealed she’d contracted chicken pox, it was another setback for the star who’s endured a horror run of luck recently – with the actress forced to pull out of promoting her fl ick Unbroken. ‘I just want to be clear and honest about why I will be missing the Unbrokenevents in the next few days, which is that I found out last night that I have chicken pox’ confessed the pockmarked star via a YouTube video on December 12. ‘You have to laugh at the timing’ she added wryly, suggesting she’s aware things are far from festive right now. The tide began to turn when Ange was snapped having a heated exchange on her hotel balcony with hubby Brad Pitt, 51, in Sydney on November…

THE FIVE-YEAR-OLD GETS A BROTHER FOR HIS BIRTHDAY The Kardashian clan were out in force to wish Mason Disick a happy fifth birthday on December 14.‘Happy birthday to the coolest little boy in the entire world,’ his doting mum, Kourtney Kardashian, instagrammed ‘Stop growing up! How are you 5 already?!?!’ Aunty Khloé added, while Kim gushed, ‘You are my everything!!!!!’ But while the youngster was no doubt inundated with presents, the best gift of all was a very special surprise from his parents – a baby brother who shares the same birthday! There has been talk that the eight-year relationship between Kourtney and Mason’s father, Scott Disick, is on the rocks, and the father-of-three is tired of all the speculation. ‘Just stop right there, I already don’t give a f---,’…

First it was the leak of nude photos, now the secrets of film powerhouse Sony are being exposed. A group of hackers – who call themselves the Guardians of the Peace – have posted five Sony movies ( four unreleased) to file-sharing sites. But even more damaging to the company’s reputation, the group also leaked thousands of confidential documents – from private emails among Sony execs to employee salary data. Some have suggested the hack has come from North Korea, with the studio set to release The Interview, a comedy in which Seth Rogen and James Franco play characters who attempt to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Worryingly, the hackers are said to be preparing more leaks in time for Christmas. ‘We are preparing for you a Christmas gift’…

KATY PERRY Katy admits she started praying for breasts when she was 11. ‘And God answered that prayer above and beyond!’ laughs the 10D-cup singer.

GEORGE & AMAL SEPTEMBER 27 Venice was the perfect backdrop for George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin, 36, who chose the gilded hall of the historic Aman Canal Grande hotel for their big day. Among the 100 guests were Matt and Luciana Damon, Emily Blunt, Bill Murray, Cindy Crawford and her hubby, Rande Gerber, who was best man. Amal’s bridal gown was a stunning creation by Oscar de la Renta. ‘George and I wanted a wedding that was romantic and elegant, and I can’t imagine anyone more able than Oscar to capture this mood’ says Amal. Party boy George, 53, took care of the alcohol – including 100 bottles of his Casamigos tequila. For a man who’s avoided marriage for years, he admits, ‘It feels pretty damn great.’ “It was just…

LARA BINGLE KEEPING IT UNDER WRAPS She hasn’t confirmed it yet, but all the signs point to a baby Bingle on the way. Baggy clothes? Check. Shopping in kids’ boutiques Baby Dior and Bel Bambini? Uh-huh. Visiting the obstetrician’s office? She sure is!

THE BACHELOR AN EPIC CHANGE OF HEART Season two of The Bachelor Australia may have had us all glued to the screen for three months, but the real drama happened once the cameras stopped rolling! Fans cheered as Sam Frost, 25, was presented with a $58,000 ring on bended knee from Bachelor Blake Garvey, 32, in the show’s final episode.

KATY & JOHN COULDN’T BREAK THE CYCLE Not even the stunning Katy Perry could tame player John Mayer. The pair dated for a year but went their separate ways in February after John’s rumoured fling with SoulCycle instructor Lauren McHale. ‘They kissed, exchanged numbers and texted for a few weeks,’ said a pal. When Katy, 30, found the texts on John’s phone, they split soon after. ‘I hate being the heartbreaker’ John, 37, has said. And after her disastrous marriage to Russell Brand, which ended in 2011, Katy wasn’t putting up with John’s commitment issues. ‘I don’t need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending’ she says.

Talk about Fancy! Iggy Azalea has well and truly moved onwards and upwards from her Mullumbimby, NSW roots, with the rap sensation having snapped up some pretty impressive digs with her LA Lakers basketball beau, Nick Young. The couple bought the mansion in the celebrity-favoured enclave of Tarzana, California from pop star Selena Gomez for a cool $4.2 million in early November.

Kate Hudson has always had a troubled relationship with her estranged dad, Bill Hudson. But any hopes of a happy Christmas reunion have vanished, after he blamed the Hollywood actress for her recent split with Muse rocker Matt Bellamy. ‘She has a wandering eye just like her mother’ says Bill, 65. ‘The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree’. Kate insists she split with her fiancé of almost four years long before her rumoured romance with dancer Derek Hough started. But Bill has also labelled his 35-year-old daughter ‘selfish’. ‘To sustain her level of fame, Kate has to put herself first – and that isn’t a recipe for successful romance,’ he says. In a move that’s likely to embarrass any daughter, her dad has also been bragging about his sexploits…

We had our suspicions that older brother Chris Hemsworth wasn’t the biggest fan of wild girl Miley Cyrus, 22, and now he’s confirmed it! Though his 24-year-old brother Liam’s engagement to the Wrecking Ball singer was his most significant relationship to date, Chris, 31, was not impressed! ‘I’ve watched Liam do things I did at his age, like being in relationships he shouldn’t be in, or being reckless just to prove a point,’ the father-of-three says. ‘And I had no empathy.’ While Chris didn’t approve, it was his mother who told him to hold back. ‘My mum had to remind me I was the same way,’ he says.…

My trainer will make me look in the mirror while I’m doing squats,’ says a body-confident Demi Lovato, 22. ‘I get excited about seeing muscles instead of bones!’ The singer has a whole new attitude to her body: ‘I realised I’d rather be strong and happy than be what society thinks is thin and perfect, and be miserable.’ Having battled bulimia and drug addiction in the past, Demi now exercises twice a day – from gym work-outs to SoulCycle classes. ‘Exercise has been so important for my recovery,’ she says.

BEY’S FRINGE We love Queen Bey, but her baby bangs were a fail. She’s still beautiful, but needed shorter locks to pull this off. BLEACHED BROWS Kim Kardashian was living proof that brows are crucial when it comes to framing your face. GREEN-EYED DEVIL We’re all for coloured eyeliner, but clashing blues and greens? It’s a no-no for anyone, even Kaley Cuoco. KATY GOES GREEN We love colour chameleon Katy Perry, but the faded green dip-dyed look took it one step too far for our liking.

You’re almost 50!”’ GENDER BENDER OF THE WEEK It seems Iggy Azalea is the first one to poke fun at rumours she is really a boy. ‘Wait, so I’m reading I was born a man and my name is Cody?’ the rapper tweeted. ‘I don’t see myself as a Cody.

With Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise as her parents, it would be natural for Isabella Cruise to be interested in stepping in front of the camera – but the 21-year-old isn’t keen on that at all. Instead, the adopted daughter of Nic, 47, and Tom, 52, has followed a path all of her own – having just finished a hairdressing course with Vidal Sassoon in London. ‘Isabella has been getting stuck in at work and doesn’t make a fuss about who her parents are,’ a pal says. ‘Some of her workmates don’t even realise.’ BELLA’S ON HER OWN The first to gush about her younger kids, Nicole has again distanced herself from Isabella and Connor, 19, stating, ‘They’re adults now.’…

BLAKE GARVEY THE BACHELOR Our most controversial Bachelor, Blake Garvey, 32, has had a big year in the love stakes. He dated 30 women and got down on bended knee to propose on national TV, only to break off the engagement to move on (and in) with the lady he says was ‘worth it all’ –Brisbane beauty Louise Pillidge, 26, the show’s second runner-up. ‘It’s been the wildest roller-coaster I’ve ever been on,’ tells the Perth native, who is beaming at our photo shoot – the ‘love rat’ tag with which he’s often associated a clear non-issue. ‘It’s only online and in the media where the negativity lies. In person, everyone has been lovely. People can understand what life is about; they know that the fact that Louise and I…

1 BUTT OUT, KIM... Millions were rendered speechless when Kim, 34, went nude on the cover of Paper magazine in November, headlined ‘Break the Internet’.

ARTSY EYES Judging by the runways and celeb style, we forecast doll-like lashes to have a big moment in 2015. Graphic eyeliner is getting more artistic, too. BLUES & GREENS We’re predicting cool colours like blues and greens to be the biggest hues of 2015. Whether it’s nail polish, eyeshadow or liner, the hues are definitely ones to watch.

DECEMBER 29, 2014 CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20 So what’s it going to be, Cappy? Another stressed-out Christmas or one that is nice and easy? Whatever you do, don’t depend on others to organise anything – decide what you want to do and make the calls. Many of you will be looking at boarding a plane in the New Year.

From one famous butt to another, it seems Pippa Middleton doesn’t see the fuss in Kim Kardashian’s internet-breaking rear. ‘The Kim story did make me pause,’ the royal-in-law states. ‘What is it with this American booty culture? It seems to me to be a form of obsession.’ And Pippa would know about a nation being obsessed with a backside, after her famous derrière usurped almost everyone at her sister Catherine’s wedding to Prince William. ‘My backside – though it has enjoyed fleeting fame – is not comparable to Kim’s.’ Kim’s response? ‘I love [Pippa]. She has an amazing booty!’…
