Splashing in the pool in the Fiji sun, Max Key looks very much in his element. The good-looking son of former Prime Minister John, he has been mocked, abused and labelled a “spoilt little rich kid”, but in an exclusive interview with Woman’s Day, the 21-year-old says he won’t let the haters get him down. In fact, he’s on the cusp of releasing a third dance track and tells us he dreams of one day being as big as singing superstar Justin Bieber. “I want to be the best in the world,” he says as he shows us snaps from his latest tropical-themed music video. “I have always been a bit of a show pony. It’s not that I want fame. I don’t care about walking down the street and…

Five months after splitting from 19-year-old actress Chloë Grace Moretz, rising star Brooklyn Beckham has found love with Justin Bieber’s ex Sofia Richie – and he’s considering moving from the UK to Los Angeles to make their relationship work. “Brooklyn blames the long distance for his split from Chloë and says he doesn’t want to make the same mistake twice,” a source close to the 17-year-old tells us. “He’s determined to be with Sofia and he is desperate to get his parents’ blessing. “But his mum has begged him not to uproot himself for Sofia, especially when the relationship is in such early stages. Posh tells him he’s making a big mistake when he talks about pulling out of the photography course he was enrolled to do in New York.”…

“Tea makes me feel centred. It’s a bit of calm, a bit of liquid strength. Anything can be tackled after a cup of tea.” THE DEDICATED ALL-DAY SIPPER NAME Lena Jean Ganley, Bell Tea Company TEA OF CHOICE Bell Zesty Green Tea range My father was Irish and my mother is English so, you know, the kettle is always on. Tea is the solution to everything. Had a good day? Chuck the kettle on. Had a bad day? Chuck the kettle on. While I grew up on English Breakfast, our neighbour used to invite us over and make us tea with interesting additions from his garden. Tea with basil wasn’t the best, let me tell you! But tea with a couple of sprigs of lavender in the pot was great!…

Mascaras and their formulations are constantly changing, but the big conversation right now is around the prevalence of two different brush types – moulded plastic spikes or dense nylon bristles. So what’s the difference? In simple terms, moulded brushes tend to give clean definition and length, while nylon adds drama and volume. Check out the hottest new wands to get your picture-perfect peepers. New releases 1. Elizabeth Arden Grand Entrance Mascara, $58. The do-it-all for a night out – curling, thickening and lengthening. 2. Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious, $24.99. The reservoir in the brush tip delivers complete inky-black coverage for volume and definition. 3. Clinique Flutter-to-Full Mascara, $63. For the indecisive, keep turning the dial and crank up the volume from flirty to full-on. 4. Bourjois Push Up Volume Glamour…

WHAT’S THE IDEA? Paleo is a diet of fruits, vege, meat, seafood and nuts – the kind of food that our hunter-gatherer ancestors thrived on – and is one of the hottest food trends around today, with A-listers Miley Cyrus, Matthew McConaughey and Megan Fox all being fans. But if you don’t want to go hardcore Paleo, this Monday-to-Friday version from UK celebrity chef and healthy-eating expert Daniel Green will still see you up to two kilos lighter in a single fortnight. Explains Daniel,“It’s what I have done for over 25 years, since I lost 28.5kg as an overweight young adult, and why, over all this time, I’ve never put the weight back on.” HOW TO DO IT It’s simple – from Monday to Friday, choose from the Paleofriendly breakfasts,…

Q My six-year-old son is back at school and they have decided to hold him back a year. I don’t agree, but my husband thinks it’s the best thing and we should trust them. I feel I know my child best and the school is just being lazy instead of giving him the right attention he needs to progress with kids his own age. It’s a battlefield at home right now. What do I do? • Outraged, via email A Well, if you can afford a private school, as loath as I am to say private over public, he will get more attention. If this is not an option, you need to have him assessed. Contact the education department and speak with someone about having him officially tested. It’s not…

After years of visiting that super-glam city across the ditch, I’ve narrowed down my favourite neighbourhoods in Sydney. 1 Coogee We got an Airbnb place just across the road from the beach for a couple of nights after New Year and while I wouldn’t recommend the flat itself or the host, I loved being in Coogee. It’s like Bondi’s laid-back little sister, but the beach itself is every bit as fabulous, and there are cafés and bars galore – top pick is the Coogee Pavilion (upstairs for rooftop cocktails, downstairs for sashimi or fish and chips). Turn left from the beach and you can walk the busy track to Sydney’s most famous glitzy big-sister beach, or turn right – past the saltwater baths – and walk to Maroubra, an even…

1982 She made her first splash on the big screen as adorable Gertie in E.T. at five. 1990 She penned her first memoir, Little Girl Lost, after a stint in rehab at 14. 1992 We were green with envy when she smashed her role in Poison Ivy and rekindled her career. 1996-2000 This was Drew’s golden era, with starring roles in Scream, The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed and Charlie’s Angels. 2009 She made her directorial debut with girl-power roller-derby flick Whip It. 2009 Drew stole the show at the Golden Globes, winning Best Actress in a Mini-series for Grey Gardens. 2015 Twenty-five years after her first book, its follow-up, Wildflower, was a bestseller.…

Rituals Go to bed as early as possible . I need at least six hours’ sleep before 2.30am, when the alarm goes. Breakfast It’s the most important meal of the day! Porridge is my choice. It gives you the energy to keep going throughout the day. Have something fun to get up for I’m lucky here – I have a morning show to do with great people. Listening to myself, Amanda and Mark should hopeful ly qualify, but if not, have at least one great thing to look forward to that day. Coffee If all else fails, however you have it, get some. Not the best advice, but none of us is perfect. I drink short, strong espressos. Exercise Stay as fit as you can. Sometimes we don’t want to…

Discover the royal secrets of Reign! This popular US drama might be based on the real life of Mary, Queen of Scots, but it’s more fan fiction than reality. We break down what’s true and what’s not in the lead-up to the final season, starting this week on Neon. FALSE Our very own Kiwi and former Shortland Street star Craig Parker plays the manipulative Frenchman Stéphane Narcisse. While we love seeing Craig on screen, Stéphane is not an actual historical figure. FALSE It’s true that the to-die-for wardrobe on the show would be more at home on a Paris runway, but we’re loving the modern twists on a 16th-century queen. TRUE In season two, Mary discovers a secret clause in her marriage contract that says if she dies without heirs,…

Can you find the sixth difference between these two pictures of Spring Breakers star Vanessa shopping up a storm in New York City? Write your answer on the entry form on page 90. January 30 solution: Letter “R” is turned upside down on poster. Winner: H. Boyle, Ngatea. Who am I? I was born in England in 1989, one of four kids – two boys and two girls. Dad was an airline pilot and Mum taught piano, so we grew up in a house full of music. Acting was in our family as my great-aunt was the famous English actress Anna Neagle, and my siblings and I performed from an early age. By six, I’d made my first movie, a minor role in Intimate Relations, with Julie Walters. Over the…

Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19 As they say, money makes the world go round. Big ideas may be brewing, but with Mars firing you up, watch that impulsive streak – and those smooth salespeople. If you’re feeling confused, an active weekend should clear your head. Cruise the markets or escape the chaos with some girly pampering. Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20 Smile! When the sun bursts into your sign on Saturday, your new zest for life will be obvious. If someone’s negativity has been dragging you down, it may be time to say adieu. Friday’s lucky stars could herald good news for a loved one, while Sunday might bring a heartfelt reunion. Aries MAR 21 – APR 20 Your onward-and-upward approach has its pros and cons. Frustrations are…

We told you last week, but now reports are confirming George and Amal Clooney are expecting twins! The double blessing is due in June, according to US chat show The Talk, and reports suggest the couple are expecting a son and a daughter. A source close to the actor, 55, and human rights lawyer, 39, who married in 2014, says the star pair “feel like they’ve hit the family jackpot”, adding, “When George and Amal found out it was twins, they were surprised but also a little scared because they both had said that one was enough. But the news that it was a boy and a girl made them both really happy. They can’t quite believe that in just a few months, they’re going to have two babies.” THE…

Come back, Kate JOHNNY’S DEPP DEVOTION Eight months after his messy divorce from Amber Heard, a slimmed-down Johnny Depp now has his sights set on his supermodel ex Kate Moss! The former lovers, who had a four-year relationship back in the ’90s, have revived their friendship, with the style icon helping the Pirates of the Caribbean star through his failed marriage and recent money problems. “What started as friendly conversations turned into counselling sessions – she’s like his therapist,” a source close to the actor tells Woman’s Day. “Johnny has totally fallen for her again and Kate is certainly tempted.” But with Kate, 43, still seeing her aristocratic toyboy, 30-year-old Count Nikolai von Bismarck, a lovelorn Johnny, 53, has his work cut out for him – and not helping matters…

It’s true that every woman has heard of menopause, but it’s not something we tend to talk about much. So when it hits you, it can come like a bolt out of the blue. For me, it was dramatic mood swings – tearful one moment, in a rage the next (sometimes both at once, which is interesting). I simply don’t feel like me any more. I should have caught on sooner to what was going on. After all, I’m in my early 50s and that is the normal age for a woman’s body to start producing less of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone, and for menopausal symptoms like hot flushes, mood changes, tiredness, dry skin and hair loss to make an unwelcome appearance. It turns out I’m not alone in…

Women can talk about anything – it’s a fact. We talk love, body woes, work dramas, kid issues – name a topic, add a flat white or a glass of wine and there’s a discussion waiting to happen. But one conversation we don’t bring up? Money. It’s become an out-of-bounds topic, yet it’s one of the biggest factors in our daily lives. So let’s start talking! It’s time to have those important chats that can help us feel good about our money and the choices we make. The new TVNZ 1 series Mind over Money with Nigel Latta is aiming to demystify our feelings around money. For the next six weeks, the team at Woman’s Day is going to be putting into practice the theme of each week’s episode, so…

There comes a moment in every person’s life when you realise the life raft of your youth, to which you’ve desperately so long clung, has finally deflated. And just like that, you’re no longer young. I’ve actually had a few of these moments (call me Methuselah), but the most recent one was occasioned by our complete and utter lack of summer. By the end of January, I was still wearing socks and shoes, and on occasion a polo-neck jersey. (I wore pants too, of course. Almost every day. Otherwise that’s plain wrong.) Worse, I remained tan-less. And I am a person who needs a tan. Every time mine fades, I’m asked if I’m suffering from a terminal illness. My natural colouring is a terribly wan shade of lily white, which…

In the ’90s, there were plenty of glossy magazines with covers boasting about amazing, successful working mothers. There was some very glam businesswoman who owned beauty companies, with 18 children under 10. There was a doctor married to a politician who seemed to have a tribe of children and, what’s more, seemed to be some kind of medical mummy superwoman. (I’m told now she had a nanny 24/7. Of course she did!) In the ’90s, as women, we were told we had it all. I rather think we should have been told we had to do it all. It was simply expected that if you were a capable modern woman, you worked, pushed out babies, breastfed while you filled in your Filofax and did it all smiling. It was horrible.…

Q I would like to find a way to achieve the type of amazing orgasms I used to be able to get with my former partner, which were in the lying-down doggy position. My current partner can’t last long in that position. I climax in other positions, but it’s not nearly as good. I’ve researched sex toys online and suggested we try an erection ring, but he is concerned it might damage him. He is not interested in sex toys. Any suggestions? • Discontented, Auckland A I encourage you to talk openly with your partner about how important it is to you that he considers trying different techniques to slow down. Perhaps if he knows this isn’t just a preference of sexual position but the one you want the most,…

While fans get hot and bothered about the release of Fifty Shades Darker, the second movie in Hollywood’s sexiest ever trilogy, the film’s leading man Jamie Dornan, 34, is rather pleased it’s almost over. Here he reveals all about getting his kit off again, why he’s glad to be leaving Christian Grey behind and how being a father has become his dream role. What can fans expect from the film? Most people who have seen the movies have read the books, so they’ll know that big, important characters are introduced. The story moves along in quite a different tone to the first one. How did it feel getting back into the role? It was more fun because the pressure was off. With the first movie in any franchise, there’s always…

Emma Stone Coming to screens later this year, Netflix’s new black-comedy series Maniac will star the lovable La La Land actress as well as Jonah Hill. Naomi Watts The Australian actress plays Jean Holloway, a therapist who develops dangerous relationships with her patients, in the upcoming Netflix show Gypsy. Julianne Moore Details about Julianne’s Amazon crime series are so top-secret, we don’t even know its name! But we do know she’ll be starring alongside Robert De Niro.…

Losing hope Q My teenage children have been brainwashed by their father – my ex-husband – into not contacting me. This is destroying me and I fear for them. Will this continue? I just want to be a mum. • Concerned, via email A As your three kids mature, they will come to discover they each have a mind of their own and they’ll come back to you at different times. Two will become considerably more distant from their father, giving your relationship with them a chance to blossom. Give it time. Head over heels Q Why can’t I stop thinking about a man I barely know but see every day? I can’t get him off my mind. • Lovestruck, via email A The reason you feel drawn to this…

She woke up like this! Forget her early-morning green smoothie – when pop star Rihanna poses for a photo shoot in downtown New York at 3am, the singer only has time to fix her emerald-coloured wig. Her Loud locks, however, aren’t the only pop of colour as the 28-year-old songbird slips into a figure-hugging striped dress and sky-high pumps for a quirky magazine shoot against a graffiti-covered mural. But Rihanna won’t be crawling back into bed once her shoot wraps. The hardworking singer/actress is busy filming Oceans 8 – the all-female instalment of the famous heist series – led by Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. There is no rest for the wicked, after all!…

This editor’s note goes out to all the wonderful women out there who do the school run. As the school year cracks into gear, I want to show appreciation to the thousands of mums who are there at the crowded school gates to pick up their kids every day. So much is made of the “super mums” who juggle full-time jobs – but I took last week off to ease my kids into school and it gave me a huge reminder of that afternoon struggle. My work means I’ve largely avoided the peak-time pressure to find a park and your littlies in that 3pm crush. But with my hubby away, I took a “staycation” to be around while Cleo, 13, started a new high school and Darcy, seven, settled into…

Stepping out in New York in a fire engine-red dress with her head held high, Victoria Beckham did her very best to appear defiant and unfazed by the scandal that’s enveloping her family. But behind the scenes, the Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer is devastated and she’s laying the blame squarely on her husband David. “Victoria feels like this has exposed a side of David she never knew was there,” a family insider reveals, speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day. “She can’t believe how much he’s hidden from her and she’s at a loss to know where to go from here. But one thing is for certain – she’ll do her utmost to rebuild Brand Beckham. It’s everything to her.” Fans were left shocked when a cache of hacked emails were leaked, exposing…

Menopause occurs after your periods stop (officially it’s when a year passes since your last period), but the symptoms can kick in years before as hormone production declines. This is known as peri-menopause. As well as the infamous sweats and mood swings, women can suffer brittle nails, vaginal dryness, loss of libido and more. There is a range of things we can do to help manage these symptoms and MHT (menopausal hormone therapy, the modern way to describe HRT) is the most effective, says Christchurch endocrinologist Anna Fenton. Some years ago, there was a scare that put lots of women off MHT. A research study known as the Women’s Health Initiative linked it to an increased risk of breast cancer. However, it is now recognised that this study was misinterpreted…

Narina Bailey doesn’t recall much about the day that she threatened to jump off a hotel building in downtown Auckland. Poised above the street, the only thing on her mind was to end the years of grief she had suffered since the death of her much-loved older sister Annessa. “I remember looking down at my feet and that there were fire engines blocking off the traffic,” Narina, 43, says of the drama that unfolded over several hours back in 1993. The Lower Hutt woman also recalls being hauled to safety by a young constable who had changed into a hotel worker’s uniform so as not to alarm her. Last December, she met him again for the first time since that day 24 years ago. Thanking him was something the self-taught…

When it’s steaming hot outside, it isn’t just your body that needs hydration – your skin needs it too. But layering on creams and topping them up during the day isn’t always practical. That’s where a face mist comes in. Recent developments in skincare mean many mists are now delivering more than just mineral water or rosewater. These fresh formulas often contain vitamins, minerals, botanical extracts, plant-derived glycerin and anti-ageing properties. The clever new combinations ensure hydration penetrates the skin and doesn’t just evaporate. 6 REASONS TO USE A FACE MIST COOL FACTOR You can’t argue with the refreshing pick-me-up effect of a fine mist, especially if you keep it in the fridge. PORTABILITY You can add moisture to your skin throughout the day. DOUBLES AS A TONER Alcohol-based toners…

With the return to school has come the usual dramas. My boys attend a high school that has a haircut policy. They know the rules are short back and sides, yet they insist on growing their hair long over summer. One son even went so far as to bleach his white, so he looked like a combination of Justin Bieber and Ellen DeGeneres. Come the start of term, I had the pointless parenting conversation with them I have each year. “You guys will have to get haircuts.” “Nah, we’re good,” they said. “You will be told to get it cut,” I persisted. “I think I can just slick it back and it’ll be cool,” said one son. “You will get a detention.” “Nah, I’m sweet,” son replied. Sigh. Day one…

Over the past 10 years, I have spent countless hours in schools, talking to thousands of parents and young people about technology and the pre-adolescent and teen years. Kids are having to navigate an unprecedented amount of technology these days – and it seems to be growing at an exponential rate. When I am talking to parents, most of their questions start with, “At what age should...?” “At what age should my child get their first phone?”, “At what age should my child be using social media?”, “At what age can they open a TradeMe account?”, “How much screen time is too much?” and so on. I wish I could give you a definitive technology age guide, but the big challenge is that every child varies so much in their…

ALBUM OF THE YEAR AND RECORD OF THE YEAR Queen Beyoncé could top these categories with Lemonade and “Formation”, but we suspect Adele will be chasing at her heels. SONG OF THE YEAR Adele say “Hello” to this trophy! Her comeback ballad was a hit and had everyone listening to it on repeat. BEST NEW ARTIST First there was Shania Twain and Taylor Swift, now Maren Morris is shaking up the country scene and could be the one to win. BEST ALTERNATIVE ALBUM Who doesn’t love Bowie? Despite his success, the late singer never won a Grammy for an individual album or song – but we’re betting that’s about to ch-ch change.…

Amanda says Oz tells me he’s the boss, while Mowie is very laid-back. Oz turned up as a rescue pup and loves his dad very much – he tells me he adores Kat too. He likes to be left alone at times and has tummy troubles, so he needs to be on a special diet. Mowie is actually owned by Kat’s son but wants to know if he’s staying as he loves living with them. He’s a bit nervous but does put Oz in his place if he needs to. Kat’s dad comes through and says he’s the one sending the birds to her. Kat says I was actually booking a ghost tour over the phone when my dogs started playing up. The manager recommended getting a reading with Amanda…

Trans-Tasman rivalry took a backseat when the Real Housewives of Auckland met their Sydney counterparts in the City of Sails last week. Our local lasses Angela Stone, Anne Batley Burton, Gilda Kirkpatrick, Julia Sloane, Louise Wallace and Michelle Blanchard were on their best behaviour as they joined Aussie babes Krissy Marsh and Nicole O’Neil for a VIP screening of the very first episode of The Real Housewives of Sydney. Hoping to meet a few All Blacks while she was in town, self-described “trophy wife” Krissy won the crowd over by saying, “Everyone in Sydney loved the Kiwi Housewives trailblazing before us.” After watching the outrageous new episode of the Bravo series, Former Miss Australia Nicole added, “We’re still recovering from how we’re been portrayed, but it’s great to hear everyone…
