When the Spice Girls made Girl Power a thing back when I was in year seven (let’s not count how long ago that was…), I wouldn’t have guessed they’d be laying the foundation for something I believe in so strongly years later: feminism. Not the man-hating stereotype that, BTW, is totally wrong. I’m talking about gender equality. Simple as that. Not that much to ask for/demand/expect, right? I’m lucky to know so many epic women in my life (shout-out to my amazing mates, mum and workmates – plus the men who know what’s up when it comes to gender equality!). And celeb-land is filled with them, too, with many fierce female stars marching for equal rights in LA and Sydney on January 20 (p8). Go, girls!…

Stepping out at the Australian Open on January 17, we couldn’t help but wonder if Anna Heinrich and her hubby Tim Robards were concealing some happy news. Pictured sporting what appears to be a growing baby bump, Anna, 32, posed alongside her husband, 37, who was holding a glass of champagne. ‘A family has always been part of our life plan,’ Anna revealed earlier this month. ‘It’s important to us and it will be in the near future.’ The couple recently splurged $1.9 million on a Sydney apartment, complete with three bedrooms, so there’s plenty of room for a bub! OK ! reached out to Anna’s rep for a comment.…

Can you believe Kourtney Kardashian will celebrate her 40th birthday on April 18? This smoking hot mama looks incredible! So what’s Kourt’s secret? The mum-of-three swears by intermittent fasting. ‘For me, this meant not eating for 14 to 16 hours after dinner,’ explains Kourtney. ‘I wouldn’t eat past 7pm, and then I wouldn’t eat breakfast the next day until after my morning workout, which would be around 10.30am to 11am.’ Fasting became popular when Dr Michael Mosley released his 5:2 plan, for which you eat a normal, healthy diet for five days and restrict to 500 calories per day for women (600 for men) on the other two days. But Dr Michael says his newest offering – the Fast 800 diet – is better, and can help you lose ‘up…

Three months after OK! revealed Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron were secretly dating, the A-list couple are making it official by going public with their love. ‘Brad and Charlize are thrilled to have found each other, and have bonded deeply as single parents of adopted kids with big Hollywood careers,’ an insider tells OK! exclusively. ‘They’re crazy about each other and after the hell that Brad has experienced in his divorce, all of the anger and finger-pointing, Charlize has really been emotionally supportive.’ It’s believed the pair have been secretly dating since March 2018, so why go public now?

The Church of Scientology has lashed out at actress Leah Remini, accusing the former church member and critic of motivating murder. A spokeswoman for the religion holds Leah, 48, personally responsible for the death of a Scientology security worker in Sydney last month. Chih-Hen Yeh, 24, was escorting a female church member to a ‘purification ceremony’ in Sydney when the woman’s teenage son stabbed him in the neck. Chih-Hen later passed away in hospital from his injuries. The spokeswoman claims the teen was motivated by Leah’s TV series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. ‘The attacker was inspired by an anti-Scientology website that featured your people and included a link to Remini’s show,’ Karin Pouw wrote in a letter to the show’s American network A&E on January 11.
