Things went brilliantly for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in Africa, with the royal pair – and, of course, Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor – making a splash on their 10-day trip. ‘The way Meghan and Harry have handled their tour in South Africa has been uniquely informal,’ explains Richard Fitzwilliams, a commentator on royal issues. ‘The Sussexes have shown they do things their way.’ The couple doubled their effectiveness by parting ways for a few days, with a solo Meghan meeting with South African female leaders to discuss women’s empowerment – and making an unannounced visit to Johannesburg’s Victoria Yards markets, a local social enterprise initiative. While there, she was gifted a set of cute denim dungarees for Archie – and mobbed by local kids! ‘It’s been amazing to be…

Jessica Simpson is only half the woman she once was – because she’s lost almost 50 per cent of her body weight since her third child Birdie Mae was born in March! And the astounding results are thanks to a dedicated diet and exercise routine. “I’M WORKING REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW – I’M DETERMINED TO FEEL GOOD” ‘[Six] months. 100 pounds [45kg] down,’ the star wrote on Instagram, adding that at her heaviest, she weighed 108kg. ‘So proud to feel like myself again.

She’s got the Midas touch, so we reckon Gro-To – Zoë’s bath and body care range for mini-mes – will sell out quick sticks. Get moving, mamas! From left to right: Bad Dream Buster room mist ($15), Sud Bud body wash ($25), Skin Wizard body oil ($32). grotoskincare.com Current mood: bloated and sleepy.

Make no mistake, Bree McCann is seriously hot property at the moment. She’s conquering the world as an international model, and has just been named Fossil’s first ever Australian ambassador. Bree also bought a house in Noosa last year with her husband Mitch, whom she married in January. After living in New York for six years, the Brisbane-born beauty returned home last December. ‘I was a little bit hesitant coming back to Australia because I wasn’t sure if I would be able to work that much,’ explains Bree. ‘In the beginning, in Australia, they were a bit slow to adapt so I had to go overseas to get work.’ But a lot can change in a few years. Now the model is working harder than ever! And as the Australian…

As girls, we’re taught from a very young age to play it safe. To strive to get all As to please our parents and teachers. To be careful not to climb too high on the jungle gym so we don’t fall and get hurt. To sit quietly and obediently, to look pretty, to be agreeable so we will be well liked. When we hold ourselves to the impossible standard of perfection, there’s no such thing, really, as ‘success’ because nothing is ever enough. What if we just said, ‘F--- it?’ I’m going to say what’s on my mind even if they don’t like it… or volunteer for that assignment that feels too hard… or make the life change I secretly dream about without worrying about the outcome. What would our…

He’s been making headlines for weeks, thanks to his ex-wife Demi Moore’s bombshell tell-all. And it seems Ashton Kutcher has finally had enough. In her memoir Inside Out, the 56-year-old accuses Ashton of everything – from pushing her to relapse into alcoholism to pressuring her into having threesomes. And now, the 41-year-old has taken to Twitter to have his say. ‘I was about to push the button on a really snarky tweet. Then I saw my son, daughter, and wife and I deleted it,’ Ashton shared, before adding, ‘For truth text me,’ followed by a phone number.

ARCHERY Take a leaf out of Robin Hood’s book and opt for some archery. Just one session will help to strengthen your arm, back and shoulder muscles, as you repeatedly lift the bow and draw the string. If you’re feeling stressed, trying to increase your concentration and stamina at work, or simply looking to find an alternative form of meditation, a spot of target practice might be exactly what you need. Archery is a great brain-training exercise that requires focus and attention. You have to get into that rhythm and flow, and not let anything distract you. As you ignore everything around you, it forces you to slow down and focus on one goal. KAYAKING Not to be confused with canoeing (which uses a single rather than a double-bladed paddle),…

The past two months have been a whirlwind, even by Miley Cyrus’ wild standards. In August, the Slide Away singer announced her separation from husband Liam Hemsworth, 29 – and almost simultaneously went public with her relationship with Kaitlynn Carter. But now, just weeks later, Miley and Kaitlynn have split, and the 26-year-old singer’s behaviour is becoming increasingly concerning. ‘Friends fear that Miley’s gone off the deep end because she’s all over the place,’ an insider says. ‘Her weight has plummeted and she’s hitting the party scene.’ “HER WEIGHT HAS PLUMMETED AND SHE’S HITTING THE PARTY SCENE” Rumours that the singer is allegedly partying again are particularly worrisome, given Miley’s history with drugs and alcohol. ‘She claims to have conquered her demons, but those close to her are concerned her…
