Terrifying, isn’t it, to think that Christmas and bikini season is THIS CLOSE! I haven’t really got my head (or my poor, dry winter skin) around what that actually means, but already people are fake tanning limbs, buying party frocks and buzzing about cocktails and summer barbecues. It feels like just yesterday we were shivering in winter coats! If you’re like me and need to get bikini-ready fast, check out the stars go-to shred secrets (p16). Other big news this week came from the royal family, with Prince Harry’s comments about brother Wills causing a stir (p10) – it seems they’re just like any other family! And we have to talk about Miley Cyrus! Her latest dig at Liam Hemsworth is on p20. Enjoy!…

Friends fans have been waiting for years for this moment. So when Jennifer Aniston posted a picture of the entire cast of the hit show reunited on Instagram – also marking her introduction to the social media site – it was a given that she would simultaneously break the internet. Beaming alongside co-stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, Jen left fans in shock over her Insta debut. ‘And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM,’ she captioned the shot. The pic was so successful, it caused major hiccups on the site, with fans unable to follow her newly created account. ‘Sorry, I think I broke it,’ the 50-year-old actress joked. Jen’s fans weren’t the only ones happy to see her, with celeb friends such…

She still hasn’t officially confirmed it, but there’s no denying that bump under Lara Worthington’s sweater, right? The model-turned-businesswoman, 32, and her clan – hubby Sam, 43, and sons Rocket, four, and Racer, three – were all smiles as they hit the SBC Fair on October 20 and stopped at McDonald’s for breakfast… and that could just be because they’re about to add to their family! A friend told reporters in August that Lara was expecting. And while she’s kept a low profile in recent weeks, the happy family snaps, the smiles (and the craving for those Maccas fries) kinda says it all! The Aussie expat has admitted in the past that having a large family is her dream. ‘The more, the merrier,’ she previously shared. And it certainly looks…

Slow and steady wins the race – that’s how the saying goes. But as OK! previously reported, Jessica Simpson’s astounding weight loss after giving birth to Birdie Mae in March was fast, furious and healthy! ‘It’s been a lot of hard work,’ Jess, 39, admits. But clearly hard work pays off ! Jess’ trainer Harley Pasternak now exclusively reveals the star didn’t set out to lose 45kg in six months, dropping from 108 to 67kg – rather, she changed her habits and the results followed. ”OUR GOAL WAS SUSTAINABLE HABITS – I’VE NEVER WEIGHED A CLIENT” ‘Our goal was to create sustainable habits,’ shares Harley. ‘I’ve never weighed a client in my entire life – the number on the scale is a by-product of all the habits. One of those…

After admitting he’s loved Miley ‘since he was nine’, it’s clear the Aussie musician – who just won The Masked Singer – has got it bad for his new girlfriend. He’s already written a song for her and, it seems, even moved in with the star after he captioned an Instagram story post ‘moving day’. ‘She’s definitely one of the most amazing people I’ve met. I’ve always felt that way,’ Cody has gushed. But according to a source, Miley isn’t quite as ‘serious’ about Cody just yet. Oh dear……

Olivia Munn’s a fan, and Geri Horner’s tried it, too. But what is hynotherapy, and why is it useful for weight loss? A technique for harnessing the power of suggestion, hypnotherapy has a range of uses. Here, nutritional hypnotherapist Caroline Power takes us through the basics… TAP INTO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND Caroline says it’s helpful to imagine you have two minds. There’s our ‘conscious’ thinking mind and our ‘unconscious’ mind, which controls emotions, memories and things we do on autopilot – like driving and many of our eating habits. NOW CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS ‘We are constantly making decisions either on a conscious or unconscious level,’ says Caroline. ‘When we think a thought that many times, and we repeat it to ourselves, it becomes a belief.’ This can be an empowering…

The sound of wedding bells are in the air for Dakota Johnson, who’s reportedly planning the wedding of her dreams to boyfriend Chris Martin. ‘It will be a three-day destination wedding early next year,’ a source says of their plans. The pair, who were first linked back in October 2017, recently celebrated the actress’ 30th birthday with a mega-birthday party in Malibu. And insiders say it’s got the couple excited to throw another epic bash – but this time to celebrate their love! ‘They’ve been looking at private islands in the Maldives and will exchange vows in front of family and a few close friends,’ continues the insider. Expected to be on the guest list? Miley Cyrus, Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr and, of course, Chris’ ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 47,…

While many might recognise her from her time on Home and Away, homegrown star Samara Weaving is a long way from Summer Bay these days. After her stint on the beloved Aussie soap, Samara admits she spent two years in London doing ‘nothing but back-to-back auditions and the odd small job’. But times have certainly changed for the 27-year-old! A role in the Oscar-nominated Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was a turning point for Samara, with the role leading to her snapping up several other parts including a role in her new film Ready Or Not. “I STRUGGLE TO WATCH SCARY MOVIES – I ALWAYS HAVE!” Starring alongside Andie MacDowell and The OC’s Adam Brody, the black comedy horror is already getting rave reviews, with legendary author Stephen King tweeting…

IS THE WATER FROSTY? We loved her on The Bachelorette, but Sam Frost is now making waves as Jasmine Delaney on Home and Away. She proved as much when she dived fully clothed into the water during filming. Now that’s one keen beach babe! SJP HITS SYDNEY! Oh, to walk a mile in her shoes! Sex and the City icon Sarah Jessica Parker brought her shoe collection to Australia, launching at David Jones in Sydney and Melbourne.

Kate Ritchie has been granted an interim apprehended violence order (AVO) against her husband Stuart Webb, after police were called to investigate an incident at the couple’s home in Randwick on October 17.

Just a few months ago, The Matrix star Keanu Reeves admitted he was a little ‘unlucky’ in the love department, even calling himself a ‘very lonely guy’. But it seems his luck has changed, after the 55-year-old actor was photographed leaving an Italian restaurant with LA-based artist Alexandra Grant, 46. The pair spent an intimate three hours together inside Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, after the release of the John Wick Hex video game launch, before exiting out the venue’s back door and driving off in Keanu’s Porsche. ‘They were both really flirty with one another and couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces!’ a fellow diner said of the discreet date. It seems, for now, the pair are trying to keep things on the down low.…

Congratulations are in order for Jessica Mauboy and Themeli Magriplis who recently confirmed their engagement. ‘The love of my life proposed to me in his family’s home town of Kalymnos, Greece, on the beach at sunset,’ the 30-year-old shared on Instagram. ‘We are so happy. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.’ The couple – who have been dating for a decade – have long been the subject of engagement rumours, with the singer saying of their future together, ‘I love the idea of having children with Themeli. I love the idea of being married to him. We already kind of are.’ Lovely!…

RITA ORA After many years of putting her body through the wringer, the singer is now seriously committed to healthy eating and exercise – daily. ‘I didn’t start working out to get skinnier – I started working out to feel better,’ she tells. Hitting the gym daily, Rita, 28, says she’s found a new appreciation for circuit training – which has toned the Anywhere singer’s bod to perfection. ‘I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight lifting,’ she shares. ‘I enjoy working out. And I like the aftermath – that feeling of contentment.’ KATE HUDSON: ‘FOR ME, IT’S ALL ABOUT FOOD!’ As an ambassador for Weight Watchers, Kate has worked hard to get her pre-baby bod back after giving birth…

Away, the world’s coolest luggage brand, has ventured into handbag territory – and we likey! The leather Latitude & Longitude Totes (from $325, awaytravel.com) are sleek, monogram-able and attach to any of the brand’s suitcases. Can’t believe it’s taken me at least 10 years to find my fitness mojo. After paying through the nose to get my Bikram om on, straining my shoulder fist-thumping a punching bag and retaining a deep shade of beetroot long after my F45 workouts wrapped, I tried Pilates earlier this year – and isn’t the hype right?! I’ve hopped between a bunch of styles but no matter what I try, Pilates works muscles I never realised deserved a butt-kicking, like adductors (smashing them on the reg like a boss, FYI). I’m stuck on a steady…

THE REFORMER Reformer classes used to be hard to find but they’ve enjoyed a popularity surge in recent years and can now be found at a number of major gyms. The first Reformer dates way back to WWI, when Joseph Pilates attached some springs to a hospital bed so patients could rehabilitate their muscles while they were lying down. These days, the Reformer still resembles a bed on springs, with straps and pulleys that can be used in more than 200 ways! DYNAMIC PILATES ‘I’ve always been intrigued by pieces like the Wunda Chair, Cadillac, Spine Corrector and Arm Chair Barrel, so I jumped at the chance to road test them at Dynamic Pilates in Sydney. And it didn’t disappoint! Don’t be deceived by the relaxing vibe of the studio,…

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds kept almost everything about the arrival of their third daughter a secret –including, so far, her name. “IT’S HARD TO SLAP LABELS ON PARENTS – YOU JUST FIGURE IT OUT AS YOU GO” In fact, the world only learnt Blake was pregnant when she made a red carpet appearance in May with a surprise baby bump! But ever since the baby arrived two months ago, the loved-up couple has been growing accustomed to life as a family of five. The pair are also parents to daughters James, four, and Inez, three. ‘I plan to get lots of sleep when I’m dead!’ jokes Blake, 32, of being a busy mum-of-three. No wonder her favourite parental activities include ‘just sitting and telling stories together, drawing, building forts,…

Jennifer Lawrence’s big day certainly was just that, a big day – with the actress and her new husband Cooke Maroney celebrating with their A-list guests until 5.30am. Sounds like quite the bash! The couple tied the knot at Belcourt Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, on October 19, with their whole wedding weekend masked in secrecy. The 29-year-old pulled out all the stops to keep her nuptials out of sight, with tight security in place and the windows of the mansion covered up to keep out prying eyes. However, glimpses of the 150 guests could be seen – with Cameron Diaz and hubby Benji Madden, Nicole Richie and Ashley Olsen among the many guests spotted heading inside the venue for the evening celebrations. The A-list group were reportedly treated to…

And just like that, a single lady was born! Lady Gaga has confirmed she is no longer taken, after splitting from her sound engineer boyfriend Dan Horton recently. While attending a bachelorette dinner for her friend, the 33-year-old singer posted a selfie with her bride-to-be bestie – making the news known in her Instagram caption. ‘An about to be married woman and me, a single lady,’ she shared. Gaga and Dan – who met when he joined the singer’s team ahead of her Las Vegas residency last year – sparked dating rumours after they were spotted kissing on a lunch date in July. But for the most part, the couple kept their relationship private.…

He’s all about making midnight memories – and Harry Styles has certainly given one of his fan’s an early-morning moment to remember, after doling out some romantic advice to the lovestruck teen.

And just hours later, the singer shared his words of wisdom. ‘Be honest and vulnerable,’ Harry wrote back. Now that’s one Sweet Creature!…

If you like it then you should’ve put a ring on it – and Tristan Thompson has done just that, gifting his baby mama ex Khloé Kardashian with a pink diamond ring! The 35-year-old reality star showed off the huge sparkler in a trailer for her show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. ‘It looks fully like an engagement [ring],’ Scott Disick, 36, says while examining the rock. While Khloé insists it isn’t, Tristan’s ploy to win Khloé back has been obvious for months – with the basketballer, 28, leaving a series of flirty comments on her Instagram.…

Another day, another Miley Cyrus drama! This time, the Slide Away songstress is in hot water after saying she thought ‘all men were evil’ until she met new love, The Masked Singer winner Cody Simpson. Many took the Instagram Live comment to be a thinly veiled swipe at her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. ‘Shade, much?’ quipped one fan online. Miley was then criticised for adding she ‘thought she had to be gay’ because she’s only ever met one good person who ‘just happened to have a dick’. A commenter online quickly clapped back, ‘Damn. In 30 seconds [she] managed to burn up all the goodwill she ever built with queer and trans people.’ That backlash forced the star, who identifies as ‘queer’, to post she was just ‘talking shit about sucky…

ANNE HATHAWAY SET UP EMILY BLUNT & JOHN KRASINSKI Emily reportedly has her Devil Wears Prada co-star to thank for bringing her husband of nine years, John, into her life. John, 40, later joked he went for the 36-year-old actress because he ‘couldn’t get’ Anne, and Emily hilariously hit back saying Anne married Adam Shulman after she rejected her! JIMMY KIMMEL SET UP KIM KARDASHIAN & KANYE WEST Even though Kim, 39, and Kanye, 42, had already known each other for a while, when Jimmy brought them together for a show in 2008, the sparks really flew. ‘I’d met him years before,’ Kim later told Jimmy. ‘But we really got to know each other on the show you guys produced.’ ED SHEERAN SET UP…

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22 Scorpio season is here (yaaas!) and you’ve got big, big dreams for your time in the sun. Unfortunately, your co-ruling planet Mars kills the party vibe on Sunday when it clashes with Saturn, planet of restrictions, which could mean you hit red lights all over the place (metaphorically speaking). Yep, it’ll be frustrating, but try to be OK with going slowly. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21 Expect the unexpected on Monday. Shock-jock planet Uranus is battling the sun, meaning you could get dealt a surprising hand, potentially related to health and wellbeing. Try not to let this unravel you. Lean into that classic Sagittarian optimism and remember: if Ariana Grande can get through 2018, you can get through anything. CAPRICORN DEC 22 –…
