Guys, we need to talk about periods. Not period dramas starring Keira Knightley. That time of the month, periods. Did you know that Aussie women are forced to pay GST on tampons and other sanitary products, while things like condoms, lubricants (sorry to get specific!) and even Viagra are exempt? Effectively, this is a tax on gender – and it needs to stop. I know I would prefer to be putting my extra cash towards my next vacay! And so Australia’s leading magazines, including us here at OK!, are joining forces with high-profile women – and you – to try to change the law and end this sexist tax. If you want to get involved, say ‘I AGREE’ and head to bloodyannoying.com to sign the petition!…

It comes just days after her ex-husband, Alexandre, filed a lawsuit against the reality star. He accused LuAnn, 53, of violating her divorce settlement by not setting up a trust for their kids Victoria and Noel with profits from the family’s New York mansion, which she received in their 2009 split.

He hasn’t spoken to her since his first tell-all interview after her wedding, but the Duchess of Sussex’s father Thomas Markle has once again gone against Meghan’s wishes by speaking about the 36-year-old. ‘My thing about my daughter right now is that I think she is terrified,’ the 73-year-old speculated. ‘I see it in her eyes, I see it in her face and I see it in her smile. I’ve seen her smile for years. I know her smile. I don’t like the one I’m seeing now… this is a pained smile.’ And the former lighting director blames her new life with Harry. ‘It really worries me.

Her engagement ring was back on in 2016, and their relationship appeared to be stronger than ever. But two years later, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth aren’t any closer to tying the knot.

Johnny Depp has altered his knuckle ink for a second time, and something tells us he really regrets marrying Amber Heard.

She’s worth more than $200 million, so $6.7 million to stop her ex-husband talking would be a drop in the ocean for Jennifer Aniston –who, according to US OK! mag, is offering Justin Theroux the sum in return for a clean break. ‘She wants to ensure that there’s no major fallout from their time as a couple. She’s willing to pay whatever it costs,’ an insider insists, after the actress learnt that $6.7 million is approximately the figure being offered to Justin to write a tell-all about his seven-year relationship with the actress. ‘She wants a gag order,’ claims the spy. ‘She’s not the star you see baring all on social media.

Is it just us, or do the British seem to kind of dislike the US President? A seriously realistic wax figure of talk show host Oprah Winfrey was placed outside the US Embassy and Parliament Square ahead of President Donald Trump’s controversial visit to the UK, inside a glass box that read, ‘Oprah for President’ and ‘In case of emergency, break glass.’ We’re so surprised no one smashed it after the Queen seemingly had to teach Donald how to walk… WHAT’S IN A (MIDDLE) NAME?…
