Unable to hold back her tears after a suicide bomber killed and injured dozens of her adoring fans in Manchester last week, Ariana Grande flew home to Florida and into the loving arms of her rapper boyfriend Mac Miller. But the nightmare has only just begun for the 23-year-old pop star. Since the shocking attack, which instantly killed 22 concert-goers and injured 64 more, the former child actress has shut herself away in her parents’ gated community mansion in Boca Raton, too devastated to eat or sleep. “Ariana is going to need a lot of help,” a source close to the “Problem” singer tells Woman’s Day. “Right now, she doesn’t want to see anyone. She’s lost for words. Mac is doing everything he can to help.” Mourning for her fans,…

When Sir Roger Moore was a kid, his policeman father described him as “a sack of s*** tied up round the middle with ugly”, but the chubby teen blossomed into the epitome of suave sophistication, starring as debonair spy James Bond seven times. The square-jawed Hollywood legend – who died of cancer at 89 last week – captured the hearts of swooning female fans, marrying four times. He’s from his third marriage to Italian actress Luisa Mattioli. Roger got his acting break in the ’50s TV series Ivanhoe, but it was when he succeeded Sean Connery as Bond in 1973’s Live and Let Die that he became a household name. He once said his only talent was for “walking in front of cameras” and joked he had just three expressions…

It’s past midnight on a Friday in the Mojave Desert, east of Los Angeles, and 200 Lorde fans are surprisingly calm as they wait for the Kiwi pop star to appear. Many don’t look much older than the 20-year-old singer, whose debut single “Royals” hit number one in New Zealand in 2013 before going on to top charts all over the world. Since Pure Heroine, the Grammy-nominated album that followed, fans have been patiently waiting for new music. Two tracks – the party anthem “Green Light” and piano ballad “Liability” – from her upcoming record Melodrama finally arrived in March and already these listeners know all the words. Waiting another three hours doesn’t seem so bad. The fans are queuing politely outside Pappy & Harriet’s, a honky-tonk bar near Joshua…

When you imagine a celebrity couple living in Los Angeles, you might think of a sprawling mansion, date nights on Rodeo Drive and VIP access to all the hottest parties. But the glitz and glam of Hollywood isn’t a reality for Kiwi acting duo Siobhan Marshall and Millen Baird, who are juggling several jobs just to get by. “We were getting down to the wire one week and, of course, our rent was due too, so Millsy and I came up with a little song for the money gods, hoping they could sort something out for us,” laughs Siobhan, 34. “We’ve managed to create a whole musical out of that little number – we call it On the Breadline. We’ve decided that if this acting thing doesn’t work out, we’ll…

Meet the adorable three-year-old who has more designer handbags and Instagram followers than her own mum. Glam mother-of-two Fern Weston-Bennett, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, admits she loves splurging on pricey new outfits for her daughter Nancy Aleya, with the little tot getting her first $750 Louis Vuitton handbag at the tender age of one. Nancy’s enviable wardrobe and confident sense of style have already made her a pint-sized, picture-perfect star on social media – @nancyaleya has almost 10,000 followers on Instagram – and she has also captured the attention of clothing brands, which now send her free gear to wear. The super-cute toddler, known online as “Fancy Nancy”, has even been scouted by a modelling agency, who immediately signed her up. Full-time mum Fern, 28, who lives in the small…

Oh, there was just so much to love about Pippa Middleton’s wedding to James Matthews, wasn’t there? Her dress! I think it’s probably my favourite of all the celebrity wedding dresses. So simple yet chic, and clinging perfectly to her tiny wee body to perfectly showcase her astonishingly toned arms and miniscule waist. Were I of the same proportions (alas, even at age six, I fear I took up more space), that dress is exactly what I would wear, not just on my wedding day but every day. And night. Truly, a thing of great iconic style and beauty. But nothing was more beautiful on the day, in my opinion, than Pippa’s smile. She is a gorgeous woman anyway – those Middleton genes? Shut up! But her face was radiant,…

There comes a time when you have to draw a line in the sand. A line in the sand at the beach, where there’s a public loo so barbaric, it could be New Zealand’s only visible torture chamber. Lately, I’ve been going on surfing adventures with my partner. Naturally, he does the surfing, while I sit in the van drinking thermos coffee, taking wicked selfies and trying to meditate. We usually go to a small town called Ngawi. It’s beautiful and quaint, with a couple of decent portaloos and one shop that sells pretty handmade things, lollies and fresh eggs. I’m not a snob when it comes to portaloos. They’re pretty much just wardrobes full of strong chemicals. You do your thing, trying not to look anywhere but straight ahead,…

Your letters A perfect day You warned us we might have to be patient to see Pippa Middleton’s fairytale big day, but you must have worked tirelessly to get the issue out so quickly (WD, May 29). Kate and William’s tots almost stole the show – Prince George was a cheeky charmer and little Princess Charlotte looked prettier than ever. As expected, Pippa made a radiant bride. It was the next best thing to being there! • Di, Auckland All eyes on Pippa! Thank you for the wedding special on Pippa and James Matthews’ glorious celebration. It was really interesting to see all the beautiful photos and read the coverage. Despite Pippa’s earlier fears that her wedding would be outshone by famous guest Meghan Markle, she had nothing to worry…

For 10 weeks, I was Zac’s right-hand man, but I’v e been well and truly kick ed to the curb now V iarni is in the picture. But don’t they make a great couple?! I know there might be some sceptics out ther e who think it will never last, but let me tell you, this is no made- for-TV relationship. These guys are a total team and they are super-excited about their next chapter. When I chatted with Z ac after the finale, he told me, “I know V and I still hav e things to figure out – we’re still getting to know each other , but we’re very optimistic and excited about what the future holds.” These guys are under no illusion dating in the real world…

Booty-plundering Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom has apologised to a Romanian waitress who was fired for sleeping with him. Brunette beauty Viviana Ross, 21, was sacked from her job at an exclusive London hotel after her manager found her naked in the 40-year-old actor’s suite. The aspiring actress told a friend she was “hurt”, but didn’t regret her “night of incredible sex”. Viviana’s pal reports, “He was an exceptionally good lover. She said it was like fireworks were going off between them.” She was caught when Orlando checked out of his room for an early interview and left her sleeping, only to be found by the manager. After Viviana’s firing was made public, the actor contacted the hotel to get her number so he could check she was…

To the left, eight-month-old Georgia is screaming inconsolably, exhaling big, racking sobs as she tugs at her rock ’n’ roll bandana, exposing a halo of fluffy blonde hair. To the right, two-year-old Sam looks like he’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders, his fist clenched near his mouth, deep in thought, his soulful blue eyes staring intently. Meanwhile, five-year-old Charlie is grinning like a Cheshire cat, jumping up and down with excitement. In short, it’s chaos at our Woman’s Day photo shoot. As New Zealand Music Month draws to a close, anyone wondering what it’s like to balance being a mum with life as a touring musician – with dodgy motels, excitable fans, glitzy award ceremonies and hours on the tour bus – might want to spend…

1 I ONLY WASH MY HAIR ONCE A WEEK Well done – the less you wash your hair, the healthier it will be! Washing every day strips your scalp of the natural oils that treat and protect your hair. Plus, if you have coloured locks, it’ll fade faster The straighter your hair is, the oilier it will be, so stretching it beyond three days before shampooing may be tough. In the meantime, stick with dry shampoo to banish greasy roots and fake fresh. TRY: Batiste Fresh Dry Shampoo, $12. 2 I SLEEP WITH MY HAIR IN A PONYTAIL If you’re using an elastic in your hair, sleeping with it in is a no-no because it can pull and damage hair. But there’s a simple solution – swap your hairtie for…

Let’s be honest, married life isn’t always a walk in the park! But if we’re better prepared for the realities of marriage, we can navigate this important relationship with compassion, patience and honesty. PASSION Feel-good hormone dopamine is released when we fall in love. As we commit, it is replaced with oxytocin – the so-called “cuddle hormone” – and another hormone, vasopressin, which both keep us in “mating mode”. Even so, passion can wilt in the face of daily life. FIX IT: From the start, set up a date night for romance, conversation and intimacy to keep the sexual energy alive. REMARRIAGE OR RENEGOTIATION You can reframe marriage using compassionate – not passionate – love. If you do divorce, seek out self-awareness and self-knowledge to avoid making the same mistakes…

Son number one was quick to get his driver licence. He’d memorised the road code before his birthday and on the day he turned 16, his first stop was the AA. He sat his learner’s, passed, then proudly waved around the piece of paper stating he was a learner driver, looking like the cat who got the cream. Son number two is different. He turns 16 in a month and is yet to show an interest in learning the road code or even looking up from his phone to watch what’s going on when he’s a passenger. “Don’t you want to watch where we’re going, how we get there and how to drive?” I asked as we crawled along in rush-hour traffic. “Huh?” he grunted. “Driving, Josh. You know, learning…

Step aside, boys! Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot is here to save the day. We first caught a glimpse of the Israeli beauty in last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and now she’s back with her smashing solo flick. But Gal’s kick-butt antics on screen aren’t just for show – the mother-of-two actually served in the Israeli Defence Forces. Talk about girl power! You’re such a powerhouse in the movie! How did you make Wonder Woman your own? For me, it was important Wonder Woman wouldn’t be a goody two-shoes. She has a little bit of attitude and when she fights, she has a smirk on her face. I didn’t want her to be polished. I want people to relate to her. Did you have any concerns about stepping…

I rushed through Auckland traffic to get to the Shortland Street 25th party last week, but the special screening of the feature-length episode was already underway. I snuck into the back row in the darkness, asking a guy to let me squeeze past, and did a double take when Lionel (aka John Leigh) said “Sure, Sido” – the first of many bizarre moments of an unforgettable evening. Wow, it was an explosive episode – a volcanic eruption sending the lives of those we know and love on Shorty into absolute chaos – all on the very day Chris Warner, who has been diagnosed with leukaemia, was having a party to celebrate making it to 50. The mayhem that unfolded was so intense, culminating in final scenes that had me reaching…

The promise of true love was snatched away from her in the show’s emotional finale, but jilted Lily McManus isn’t seeking any answers, telling Woman’s Day she always knew her brutal honesty would push Zac away in the end. “I was at the point where I was like, ‘I really like you and I’m willing to give this a proper go in the real world, but I can’t promise you it’s always going to work,’” says the 20-year-old Bachelorette, who was born and raised on Australia’s Gold Coast. “I was constantly saying that to him – it was just never shown on the show – and I don’t think he could handle that kind of realistic negativity. He wanted reassurance, which I could never give, so taking a chance on…

Eyebrows were raised when Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle wore black to Pippa’s wedding, but insiders say it’s only a matter of time before she dons a white gown and says “I do”. With Pippa’s nuptials out of the way, it’s believed loved-up Harry will propose any day now – but his advisors are urging him to wait until after the British election on June 8. “Everyone’s sure that there will be a June announcement,” tells a royal insider. “Harry and Meghan just can’t wait to make it official. And there’s no way they’ll have a long engagement – they’re even talking about marrying later this year! Things are extremely serious.” The prince made a 160-kilometre dash to London and back to pick up his actress lover so she could…

Russell Crowe and Annabelle Wallis might have formed a close bond on the set of their movie The Mummy, but there’s no denying the actor got a little too close for comfort to his co-star at their film’s Sydney premiere last week. Peaky Blinders star Annabelle, 32 – who has been dating 40-year-old Coldplay frontman Chris Martin since October 2015 – looked shocked when the Wellington-born actor, 53, crept up behind her on the red carpet. “Russell suddenly appeared behind her and starting kissing the back of her neck,” a witness tells Woman’s Day. “She appeared startled, and then moved away from him and into the theatre.” The moment was made even more awkward by the fact the Gladiator star’s former wife Danielle Spencer, 48, was also there. Russell later…

For almost two decades, big-screen superstars Johnny Depp, Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt were Hollywood’s hottest property. The heartthrobs regularly topped lists of showbiz’s sexiest men, scored leading roles and appeared to be winning in their personal lives too, with beautiful wives and gorgeous children. But the past year has seen each of the former hunks unravel in spectacular fashion, with their midlife crises played out for all to see. They’ve lost their wives, families and, in some cases, their dignity – not to mention their famous good looks. “It’s quite extraordinary how they’ve come undone,” a Hollywood insider says. “It’s almost like they were living in the bubble for too long and it’s all exploded spectacularly.” While Johnny and Ben’s downfalls have been played out over a longer period…

As Coronation Street’s Leanne Battersby, Jane Danson has seen it all. She’s been beaten up by her own child, become addicted to drugs, had numerous affairs and even turned to prostitution. All the while, Jane proved she was clearly born for life in Weatherfield, becoming as beloved as the legends that went before her. But now, as she celebrates her 20th anniversary on the TVNZ 1 soap, Jane reveals a secret real-life struggle – her overnight fame made her terrified to leave her house for a year. While her co-stars hit the clubs and parties, Jane locked herself away, fearing public abuse for being gobby neighbour from hell Leanne. Even today, Jane, 38, admits she can still get “overwhelmed” when she realises how famous she is. But she has loved…

Cyclone Cook was battering the country, but the top story on New Zealand’s biggest news websites was about an Auckland woman who was at the centre of a media storm after being found to be “full-blooded Maori”. Journalist and single mother-of-four Oriini Kaipara, 33, who presents Maori Television’s Native Affairs, had taken a DNA test for a story and was surprised to discover that although she has European ancestors, her parents had passed on only their non-Pakeha genes. Unveiling the results, astonished genetics expert Brad Argent revealed that Oriini was “100% Maori”, which made her “unique”. He explained, “In the world, we’re all becoming a little more mixed and it’s quite unusual to find anyone pure of just one thing.” The internet went crazy and Oriini fielded interview requests from…

NOT WEARING SUNSCREEN Harmful UVA and UVB rays (think “A for ageing” and “B for burning”) are present year-round and can even penetrate cloud cover, so there’s no excuse for avoiding application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen each and every day. The good news is, sunscreen comes in lots of forms – from skin-nourishing primers to powders that can be applied over make-up. EXPIRED MAKE-UP Still using the dried-out mascara you bought over a year ago? Harmful bacteria can transfer to the eye area, causing nasty infections, so ditch it after three to four months. The more moisture a product has or the closer it comes to your eyes, the shorter its lifespan. Separation or changes in texture or smell are also a dead giveaway. Foundations can last for six to…

AT HOME BEDDING About 1.5 million dust mites share your sheets on average at any one time and each of us sheds roughly 10 million skin cells a day, some of which could contain bugs that can lead to skin infections. The solution? Don’t make your bed. An unmade bed has a drier environment, which kills dust mites. Run a vacuum over your pillows and mattress weekly, and when you wash your sheets, make sure the temperature’s at least 60°C. TOWELS Used towels are full of dead skin cells and micro-organisms, and leaving them in a damp bathroom creates a lovely environment for bacteria to breed. “Ideally, towels should be washed after three uses and always hung up to dry,” says dermatologist Dr Stephanie Williams. “Any odour means microbes are…

My sister Anna’s a very busy girl, so I was thrilled to lure her way to one of my favourite getaway spots for a quick break – the stunning Cook Island of Aitutaki. 1 How to get there Aitutaki is a 40-minute flight from Rarotonga and although it’s an extra expense, I implore anyone who likes really getting away from it all (read: who doesn’t seek shopping or nightclubs) to find the additional dollars to visit this beautiful island. Time slows down, the waves lap, the locals smile ... It’s one of the loveliest places on Earth – our local version of Hawaii without the long-haul flight and overdevelopment. This was my second visit and I was worried I’d remembered it with rosé-tinted glasses, but once again, it was utterly…

Q We have farm dogs that don’t come near the house. But my son and daughter-in-law have a mid-sized dog that they treat like a human. It lives inside and so the same thing happens at my place when they come to stay. They even let it go in the swimming pool. I was aghast but didn’t say anything. Now they’re getting another dog of the same breed. I don’t know what to do or say because I don’t want to upset them, but I simply can’t have another dog running around inside my house. • Barking Mad, Mangawhai A When you have child-dogs, part of the brain seems to fog over. People with “chogs” don’t seem to understand that everyone has different levels of canine acceptance. I’m not sure…

1941 Kicking off with a bang, the heroine lassoed herself into the December issue of the All Star Comics, then graced the cover of Sensation Comics the following year. 1962 Out with the modest knee-length skirt! Wonder Woman struts her stuff in the foxy bodysuit we’ve come to know and love. 1968 Wonder Woman, is that really you? In the late ’60s, she had a modern revamp and was written into the story as a normal human. 1974 Cathy Lee Crosby took on the iconic role for this made-for-TV movie in 1974, earning her the title of the “original” Wonder Woman. 1975 Bringing back the classic costume, Lynda Carter nailed her performance in this TV series for four years. 1987 This was the golden era of Wonder Woman comics and…
