Hello nostalgia, my old friend! If you know me, you’ll know I’m sentimental. So, this week served up quite the treat – a walk down memory lane with some of our favourite ’90s child stars. In their heyday, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were It girls. I’m sure you, like us here at OK! HQ, lapped up all the episodes of Full House, their movies and merchandise. But they’ve since gone to ground and rarely step into the spotlight. Now, it seems a family feud is tearing them apart (p16). There are also grave fears Britney Spears is headed for another relapse (p8). But it’s not all bad news from Hollywood – Amanda Bynes has finally found her happy ever after (p14)!…

When Kylie Jenner shared her epic floral display on Valentine’s Day, many fans questioned who the reality star had received the elaborate gift from. Now insiders have revealed the 22-year-old’s baby daddy Travis Scott, 27, is the mystery admirer – and the pair are slowly but surely finding their way back to each other! ‘Kylie and Travis truly enjoy one another and are in love. But, it can often be hard navigating their lives at such a young age,’ an insider reveals of the couple, who split last year and co-parent their two-year-old daughter Stormi. ‘The couple needed to take a step back to re-evaluate many things, but in doing so they’re better now than ever.’…

Twins Benji and Joel Madden are butting heads over the future of their band Good Charlotte. Though the musicians, 40, wrapped up a tour just last year, Joel’s eager to hit the road again – but his brother is preoccupied with looking after his newborn daughter Raddix with wife Cameron Diaz, 47. ‘They don’t want to use a nanny, so parenting is a real team effort right now,’ explains the confidant. It wasn’t too long ago that dad-of-two Joel was in the same predicament – which, according to the friend, is why the band took a break from 2011-15. Now Benji’s asking for the same courtesy. ‘He wants at least two years off, but that’s not sitting well with Joel,’ the friend says of the brothers. SIBLING SQUABBLES ‘Joel’s always…

For some older onlookers, it was as if they’d been transported back in time! When rising star Emma Corrin was spotted filming scenes for Netflix’s The Crown in London last week, she was the spitting image of young Lady Diana Spencer – who she portrays in the series. ‘The likeness was just incredible,’ commented a bystander. Emma totally nailed Diana’s signature ‘Sloane Ranger’ look in a V-neck knit and button-down blouse – but she’s admitted there’s ‘huge pressure’ with taking on the role of the iconic ‘People’s Princess’. The 24-year-old Cambridge graduate explained, ‘Any movement and voice work we’ve done so far has been figuring out why she talks the way she does, and how she was a massive departure from the royal family, a bit like [Duchess] Meghan is…

They were America’s sweethearts and for the majority of our younger years, they were the girls you wanted to be. However, after Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, both 33, retreated from the Hollywood scene following their last movie together in 2004, the question on everyone’s lips has been – what on earth happened to the twins? “ELIZABETH HAS BEEN DISTANCING HERSELF FROM MARYKATE AND ASHLEY” Here, OK! delves deep into Mary-Kate and Ashley’s introverted lives and exposes the family secret they’ve been trying to hide from the world. For a time, Mary-Kate and Ashley’s younger sister Elizabeth proudly positioned herself as something of a third Olsen twin alongside her lookalike older siblings. And it wasn’t a bad move, given the almost identical pair made the Olsen name the most recognisable brand…

PLAN AHEAD Hema recommends bringing lunch from home, explaining ‘you can save 10 to 20 minutes that would have been spent going out to buy food’. BE PRACTICAL A slow Pilates or yoga sesh may be best if you're time-poor. ‘Depending on the [workout] type, you may be able to skip a shower,’ Hema says. TAILOR YOUR WORKOUT Consider what you need that day. ‘If you’re having a stressful day, meditation will help you find your Zen zone,’ says Hema. CREATE A CULTURE If your work doesn’t do a lot to encourage exercise, try to create your own incentives – suggest a team yoga class!…

HAVE AN EMERGENCY FUND Your emergency fund is your financial safety net. Put aside at least six months of payments. Then you’ll be able to keep on top of bills for that time, even if you can’t pay them yourself. DON’T MAKE IT PERSONAL If the business starts to sink, the absolute worst thing you can do is use your personal wealth to keep it afloat. Don’t even think about redrawing on your home loan – just don’t risk it. DON’T FORGET SUPER Make sure you pay yourself superannuation – just as you would if you were employed by someone else. It’s the most tax effective investment you can make for your future. COVER YOUR BASES With 50 per cent of new sole traders likely to fail in the first…

Forget flying for hours to arrive jet-lagged and cash-strapped before you even get to your holiday hotspot – sometimes the best getaways are right in your backyard. And luxury lovers needn’t fret – you don’t need to sacrifice a resort-style vacay. In fact, there’s an all too-easy way to combine Aussie paradise with spacious rooms, grand amenities and fine-dining restaurants: a cruise.

Whether I was on the ship sipping a cocktail or off enjoying a shore experience, Viking ensured my trip was packed with plenty of cool culture and fun sights. ROOM WITH A VIEW Viking cruises offer some of the largest suites at sea,…

While Natasha Spencer and Mikey Pembroke’s relationship heated up this week (following the revelation they’d consumated their marriage), off screen, Natasha has shared with OK! she experienced domestic violence during a relationship in her early 20s. ‘One ex was a really horrible person,’ Natasha, 26, says. ‘He was physically and emotionally abusive.’ The financial analyst says she managed to leave the relationship with ‘great’ support from her family, but admits it ‘took me a long time to get to a place where I felt happy again’. Thankfully, Natasha says she’s ‘in a good place now and ready to find love with someone kind’. Our fingers are crossed for you!

Every day is a juggling act for Kate Hudson. ‘She’s up early working out, getting the kids ready for school and going to work, and she still finds the energy to go to dinner with girlfriends or cook dinner for the family when she gets home,’ a source tells of the busy actress, author and fitness guru, who has two clothing lines, a new podcast and her very own brand of vodka. Phew! And the 40-year-old has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. ‘She’s building an empire, and still singing and acting,’ says the source. ‘She wants to do it all.’ That’s an impressive goal, especially with three kids – 14-month-old Rani Rose (with musician Danny Fujikawa) and sons Ryder, 16 (with ex Chris Robinson), and Bingham, eight (with…

They celebrated the one-year anniversary of their engagement on Valentine’s Day, but insiders say Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are no closer to finalising their wedding plans – with an unexpected but exciting surprise putting a spanner in the works! Katy stepped out with a suspicious looking bump in London earlier this month, sparking whispers she’s expecting a bundle of joy. ‘It definitely looked like a baby bump,’ says an onlooker of the star. ‘She kept placing her hand protectively over her stomach, almost as if she was cradling it.’ “SHE’LL PROBABLY JUST POSTPONE THE WEDDING UNTIL AFTER THE BABY’S BORN” And insiders say the singer’s predilection for pink – matching her shoes and earrings to her Lela Rose dress – on her night out at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre, could…

While pimples and acne are skin concerns we’d hoped to leave behind in our teens, the truth is the likelihood of breakouts extends well into our 20s and 30s. And although hormones are typically not to blame as we age, there are many factors – including diet and poor hygiene habits – that are still leaving us prone to blemishes. If your case is severe, it’s always best to consult a dermatologist before treating your skin. However, there are a tonne of products that are readily available to nix your breakouts for good – specifically, those that contain salicylic acid. Of course, both lactic and glycolic acids work wonders to exfoliate the upper layer of the skin, but salicylic acids actually penetrate your skin and unclog your pores, eliminating any…

From the moment she won Matty J’s heart on The Bachelor in 2017, Laura Byrne has wowed us with her seemingly effortless glow – even after giving birth to their daughter Marlie-Mae last June. Yet make no mistake, Laura’s faced the same challenges as any new mum. ‘It’s a slow process springing back after having a baby,’ the Bio-Oil ambassador reveals. But while there have been some sleepless nights, Laura says it’s been more than worthwhile while cradling Marlie-Mae in her arms. ‘It feels like she’s been here the whole time,’ she smiles. ‘I can’t remember what life was like without her!’ How do you guys balance things? I do the nights. Matt sleeps very peacefully and I wake up many times [laughs]. But he’s amazing during the day. He…

Since the moment she took her first steps, Princess Charlotte has been stealing the royal spotlight. ‘It comes down to her personality. She’s fun, outgoing and headstrong, but knows when to mind her manners,’ shares a palace source, pointing to this past Christmas, when the adorable four-year-old made her first walk from Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham House to St Mary Magdalene Church. ‘Unlike her brother Prince George, who’s always been a bit shy, Charlotte had no problem greeting fans and even did a little curtsey on the steps as the Queen drove by,’ the source continues. ‘She was so well-behaved, and all of the attention didn’t seem to bother her one bit.’ It’s all thanks to her parents, Prince William and Duchess Kate. ‘It would be very easy for Charlotte and…

Britney Spears was photographed for the first time in months looking worse for wear on the way to a tanning salon in Los Angeles on February 12. The mum-of-two opted to go braless in a tight crop top paired with denim shorts and a medical boot. ‘Britney didn’t seem her usual bubbly self, and hadn’t made much of an effort with her outfit, hair or make-up,’ admits an eyewitness. ‘She looked pretty dishevelled and doesn’t often leave the house looking like this. It was sad to see.’ Fans and former friends have also grown increasingly concerned about the Overprotected singer, 38, after trying to remove her father Jamie Spears as her conservator following an alleged incident involving her son Sean, 14. Brit’s Crossroads co-star Taryn Manning wrote she was ‘worried’…

After seven years of marriage, former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke and his high school sweetheart Kyly have announced their separation. But in a shock twist, it emerged the pair – who are parents to four-year-old daughter Kelsey Lee – separated last September. Insiders say a big factor in their break-up was that Michael, 38, still allegedly held a torch for his ex-fiancée Lara Worthington – who’s expecting her third son any day now with husband Sam. ‘Kyly was forced to live with the fact his true love was Lara,’ a source told Woman’s Day magazine. Michael and Lara dated – and were engaged – for three years before splitting in 2010. ‘Kyly’s been putting on a brave face,’ an insider adds. Michael has now moved out of the $12…

After a rough start to 2019, this year is looking much sweeter for Amanda Bynes, who recently revealed she’s set to wed! The 33-year-old former actress announced the news on her Instagram on Valentine’s Day. ‘Engaged to the love of my life,’ Amanda shared, alongside a snap of her massive emerald-cut diamond ring.

Juicy pub steaks, spag bol and Sunday lamb roasts are my absolute favourite meals. But I have to admit, I’m utterly addicted to Jamie Oliver’s Veg cookbook, which a girlfriend gifted me for Christmas. And I’m not the only one creeping out from the rock I’ve been living under these past few years. In recent weeks, some of my most meat-loving family members sent shock waves through my tribe by announcing they’ve either gone meat-free or completely vegan – McDonald’s even unveiled its McVeggie Burger!

The Star Style team is joining the crusade by delivering our pick of the best animal product-free sweet treats (p50). From…

FROTHY FROCKS ‘Big-dress energy’ was a theme at the spring shows, with puff sleeves and ruffles aplenty as designers embraced romance and nostalgia. Examples of the trend executed in white had an added layer of naivety, with a sense of escapism. The best of these were seen at Erdem, Simone Rocha and Christian Dior, which all had a cinematic mood evoking classics such as Picnic at Hanging Rock and Daughters of the Dust. We love this look for daytime: let your dress do the work and keep everything else simple! NEW CONSERVATIVES Whether it’s a subconscious or intentional reflection of the current economic and political climate, or a reaction to the more overt trends of recent years, a prim and elegant bourgeois look has emerged. The style was spearheaded by…

Could midday workouts be the key to smashing your fitspo goals? The lunchtime ‘power hour’ workout is a rising trend in fitness – and Hema Prakash, APAC general manager at Mindbody, expects that to increase. ‘Employers are becoming increasingly aware that lunchtime exercise means happier, more productive workers, as they’re more focused after a workout,’ she explains. THE FEEL-GOOD FACTOR ‘Exercising earlier sets you up for success for the entire day,’ Hema says. ‘It kickstarts “feel-good” hormones, such as endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, and revs up your metabolism so you’ll burn more kilojoules, even hours later, when you’re resting.’ SMART SCHEDULING While exercising before work has its benefits, it’s not worth sacrificing sleep if you’re struggling to fit in eight hours. ‘Lunchtime exercise offers the same physical benefits as morning…

Morning, Upper East Siders. Gossip Girl here, and I’ve got news for you! Leighton Meester and her hubby, The OC’s Adam Brody, have bought a lavish California pad – and it’s nowhere near Adam’s old stomping ground of Orange County! Instead, the couple has snagged a $9.4 million ‘beach chic farmhouse’ in trendy Pacific Palisades, with five bedrooms and six bathrooms spread over three floors. Leighton, Adam and their four-year-old daughter Arlo live a low-key life by Hollywood standards, preferring to keep to themselves. ‘When I do get free time, I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends,’ says the actress, 33. ‘I think that’s what keeps me happy, healthy, grounded and totally in check.’ ‘We’re homebodies,’ adds Adam, 40. ‘We don’t go…

Seven seasons in, reality TV juggernaut Married At First Sight has been hit by one of its most critical issues. Six of the 10 couples have left – or are threatening to quit – the most watched program on Australian TV. ‘There’s a lot of drama and turmoil behind the scenes,’ a show insider tells OK!. ‘Producers are scrambling to both prop up the remaining couples and try to persuade the couples whose relationships are hanging by a thread to stay.’ This week, MAFS fans have already seen tearful mum-of-two Poppy Jennings and her bewildered husband Luke Eglin leave the show before they’d even reached their second commitment ceremony. ‘While the signs were there from the very beginning that Poppy wasn’t coping, she wasn’t expected to walk off so soon,’…

For more than three months, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s daughter Kaia made headlines as she romanced troubled comedian Pete Davidson. Weeks later, Kaia’s big brother Presley thrust himself into the spotlight when he debuted a bold ‘misunderstood’ tattoo on his face on February 7. After he was mercilessly trolled for it on social media, the 20-year-old model lashed out – posting a video of himself shooting a gun, saying he’s never been ‘innocent’ and offering his home address so haters could confront him in person. All the drama has sparked a family crisis. ‘Cindy and Rande are at their wit’s end,’ says a source, noting the couple’s eldest was forced to strike a plea deal after getting a DUI in 2019. ‘Deciding how to handle their kids has been…
