she ‘ Ange had some told her things ex to get off her chest. It was a screaming match for the books ’ Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce will be finalised in the next few weeks, but it took one final explosive fight before the furious pair could call a truce. A well-placed source confesses to Woman’s Day that the feisty former lovers’ showdown came after a gruelling 18 months of battling over the terms of their legal split. “They had to get out their own anger with each other to finally get to a good place,” reveals our source. “They came face to face, without their lawyers, and Ange told her ex she had some things to get off her chest. It was a screaming match for the…

SHE HAS A RUTHLESS SIDE! Two years after marrying film producer Trevor, with her career blossoming and his stalled, Meghan blindsided the poor man by announcing she was filing for divorce. It was “totally out of the blue”, remembers one friend. Andrew writes, “The marriage ended so abruptly that Meghan sent her wedding and engagement bands back to Trevor by registered post.” He claims that in a final petty act, the actress also stole Trevor’s beloved $700 blender! As she grew more famous, Meghan also wasn’t afraid to ditch old friends who didn’t fit in with her new lifestyle, says Andrew. “She no longer had the time for mates she had known for years, cancelling lunches at short notice and expecting them to rework their schedules to accommodate the busy…

Actor Orlando Bloom s believed to have popped the question to his on-off girlfriend Katy Perry – and the “Firework” singer roared a resounding yes! A source close to the pop star tells Woman’s Day, “Orlando proposed with an emerald-cut ring backstage after a show in Tokyo. She was in floods of tears and so overwhelmed that it took her a good five minutes to get out her answer! They’ve spoken about marriage since reuniting in January, but Katy didn’t expect it to happen so soon. She was blown away.” Orlando, 41, previously married to Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr, reportedly wants to tie the knot as soon as possible so they can start a family and give his son Flynn, seven, some more siblings. Our source says, “They’re talking about…

The romance of Paris has rubbed off on rock star Sting’s daughter Eliot “Coco” Sumner and new love Joséphine de La Baume. The duo only had eyes for each other as they strolled arm in arm through the French capital. Musician Coco, 27, showered kisses on French actress and model Joséphine, 33, who last year split from her husband, music producer Mark Ronson, 42. Before marrying the “Uptown Funk” hit-maker, Joséphine was engaged to Parks and Recreation actress Rashida Jones, 42, while Coco – the third child of Sting, 66, and Trudie Styler, 64 – has spoken about her sexuality, saying she never needed to “come out to anyone” because family and friends “always knew” she fancied women.…

Ashley Graham is trying to convince us we’re wrong about bikinis. Short of a burkini, we say the more material, the better. She has other ideas. “I love a string bikini,” she tells. “But I would walk around naked all the time if I could – it’s just more comfortable.” It was far from bikini weather in London when Woman’s Day sat down with Ashley, 30, who was dressed for winter in a jumpsuit and navy-blue coat. She’d just arrived from New York ahead of the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards, where she took home the Model of the Year trophy. “I’m excited to see Victoria Beckham,” she told us. Picture Ashley next to Posh and you can’t help but imagine that the designer would be swamped by…

Just south of Australia’s Gold Coast and north of Byron Bay is a sleepy shire that has none of its famous neighbours’ glitz and glam but absolutely everything else. Welcome to “The Tweed”. 1 How to get there I’ve flown in and out of Coolangatta many times but usually head north to Queensland’s Gold Coast. Turn right out of the airport instead of left, however, and you cross the border into New South Wales and hit The Tweed. A hidden gem of a region, it has a beautiful river, rolling farmland, sensational food and – if you’re lucky – you might even catch Chris Hemsworth surfing a break at one of its many lovely beaches. A regular in this part of Aussie, Chris will know that Queensland, where the airport…

QI am going through menopause, and the hot flushes and night sweats are driving me insane! I am considering hormone replacement therapy, but I have heard mixed reports. What’s your view? Should I give it a go? • Moody Blues, Christchurch A Yikes, tough question. My mama didn’t go through menopause until she was in her early 60s and I seem a far cry away too. I know in Wellington and Auckland there are menopause clinics. If you can go along and talk to those experts, I would. I believe the right naturopath could also help too, but it’s finding one who specialises in women’s health. Q My husband and I have separate bank accounts. All the expenditure seems to work out somehow, but some of my friends think it’s…

“The fact that I get to stand next to these extraordinary women, who I’ve admired for so long, and we get to talk about what we would impart to a young woman today. To discuss that with my 18-year-old daughter Ava and discuss that with Storm, it was extraordinary. Really, a beautiful experience ” . Reese Witherspoon, plays Mrs Whatsit “I loved sci-fi and fantasy growing up, but it was a genre that largely did not love me back. I never saw any representation of a dark-skinned Indian woman or Indian girl. To be part of this, it’s so fun because I finally feel welcomed with open arms to something that has ignored me completely. If this can be something that the miniature version of me could watch and be…

She’s a YouTube sensation, TV personality and LGBTQ rights activist – all at the age of just 17! Jazz Jennings exploded on to the screen when she was six, in an interview with Barbara Walters about being a transgender child. She’s since landed her own reality show, with season three about to drop in New Zealand. What do people love most about your show? It’s really fascinating for most people because they haven’t been introduced to a transgender person and haven’t seen the experiences that we go through. People really get to see I’m just a person like everyone else and I do normal teenage things. How was it going from YouTube to a TV show? In 2006, we first did an interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20 and that…

A royal opinion What gets me is when I read in various magazines about how Prince Charles whinges to his friends that he doesn’t get to see enough of Prince George and Princess Charlotte. It must annoy Prince William to know that his poor mum will never have the opportunity of being a doting grandmother. She would be so proud of her two sons and those lovely little ones. • Diana Fan, Auckland Shock read The very week I am late buying my Woman’s Day, there is so much good reading in it (WD, March 26)! So many stories and I also learned of Adine Wilson’s awful accident. I have always been a big fan of the Silver Fern and I had no idea she broke her neck – it…

With Meghan Markle’s family constantly in the headlines ahead of the big royal wedding, the Middleton clan might have hoped their days of embarrassing public scandals were over – but the latest controversy could be the most humiliating yet! Pippa Middleton’s father-in-law David Matthews, 74, has been arrested for raping a 15-year-old girl on the Caribbean island of St Barts, where he owns a resort, in 1998. He has also been accused of raping the same girl a year later in Paris. Soon after these allegations hit the news, a second woman also accused him of raping her in the ’80s. The former racing driver strenuously denies the allegations. If found guilty, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 15 years, but a royal insider tells us the scandal is…

After years of feeling outshone by her siblings, Khloé Kardashian is determined to take a seat in the spotlight with the most expensive and extravagant wedding the family has ever seen. Woman’s Day has learned the reality TV diva, who is weeks away from giving birth to her first child, is set to tie the knot with boyfriend Tristan Thompson, 27, in a $3 million ceremony. “Khloé’s always felt like the odd one out of the family,” a Kardashian insider reveals. “Now she’s finally got her happy ending and she wants to go all-out with the wedding of her dreams.” The 33-year-old reality star will reportedly rent out the luxurious Caribbean island of Cayo Espanto. The private isle, which comes at the eye-watering price of $120,000 per night, is all…

She’s been looking scarily thin in recent months and now Ruby Rose has sparked further health fears after confirming she’s split from her girlfriend, Veronicas singer Jessica Origliasso. Taking to Instagram to reveal that they’d parted ways but “still love each other very much”, the Orange is the New Black star also wrote, “I’ve shared the past two years learning and sharing my life with an amazing human being. Break-ups are always incredibly hard.” A source close to Ruby tells us, “Those feelings aren’t going to go away overnight. Ruby’s friends just want to see her happy, but she’s had a really rough time of it lately.” Aussie stars Ruby, 32, and Jessica, 33, first dated in 2008, and reunited in Auckland while shooting The Veronicas music video “On Your…

Casey Drummond was in her bedroom the night her mum and stepdad had the argument that changed everything. Even with the door closed, the 14-year-old schoolgirl heard Martin Schofield yell at her mother Katrina Drummond, “I’m going to kill him!” It was a cool April evening in Taupo nearly three years ago and 46-year-old Katrina had been peeling potatoes in the kitchen when Schofield confronted her, convinced she was seeing another man. “Martin started yelling and it all escalated from there,” recalls Casey, now 17. Her mum Katrina and Schofield – who met and married as teenagers – had a relationship based on fear. But until that night, no-one had heard him raise his voice or seen him lift a hand. The domestic abuse in their relationship was quiet yet…

FIT FACT 80% of Kiwi women aged 25-39 years have a goal of improving their fitness game in 2018* PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD Healthy joints are crucial to mobility and keeping yours in shape is a priority, whether you’re 25 or 75. Joints allow us to bend our elbows, cross our legs, flex our ankles and shimmy-shake our hips, and without that ability, doing everyday things can be tough. Poor joint health can be brought on by age, through injury or by carrying too much weight. All cause strain on the cartilage and the fluid that cushions our joints and prevents our bones from rubbing together. Thankfully, the human body has an amazing ability to repair itself, it just needs a little TLC. By actively protecting your joints now,…

I’m not a person who can leave the house wearing track pants and fluffy slippers. I have standards and I can’t seem to abandon them even if I wanted to. In my opinion, gym gear is for the gym or a quick dash into the post office – the supermarket at a pinch, if and only if you are on your way to or from the gym at the time. I was horrified to go to a café recently and have a young woman in leggings, gym shoes and a hoodie take the salt and pepper off my table. I was just about to complain to the management about such rudeness from another customer when I realised she was the management. Dressed like that? I don’t think so. If you’re…

I read recently that a woman’s handbag is an extension of her life and state of mind. Oh, the horror! For a while there, I used a round tote that was an appropriate size to carry anything a normal woman would need during the course of a day. But I found myself stuffing things in it, causing it to bulge unattractively and split at the seams. A bit like me when I’ve overindulged for a few weeks. I don’t think it would take Freud or Jung much time to analyse me. One look would have me pegged as a woman having too many lives, too little organisation and a fear of not being prepared for any situation. I’ve stopped by the side of the road, under the shade of a…

If you could play another character on the show, who would it be? I would’ve been cast as Princess Eleanor 20 years ago and I would have enjoyed it. Maybe Joan Collins would have had my part. It’d be a different show – maybe worse! What would your younger self think of you playing the Queen? Growing up, I was a huge fan of the royal family and we used to long for a royal wedding so that we’d get the day off school. I always played the Queen or a princess in our make-believe games, making my friends be my ladies-in-waiting, so nothing’s changed! What’s the best part of getting to work on The Royals? Actors love filming because even though we work brutal hours and spend our weekends…

Aries MAR 21 – APR 20 Scheduling in some relaxation may seem indulgent right now, but you need it. Clear your head with a long walk, then plan a few catch-ups for the weekend – chatty stars should help to cement a friendship. If you’ve become enmeshed in a power struggle, a lightbulb moment may be a catalyst for change. Taurus APR 21 – MAY 21 Life’s simple pleasures are your best tonic. If recent events have caused you stress, relax in the kitchen or lift the mood with music and fragrant oils. Shopping sprees might prove tempting, but the buzz will be short-lived, so organise a debrief with friends instead. Their words of wisdom should resonate. Gemini MAY 22 – JUN 21 Try to be patient. After next week’s…

I think it’s fair to say we all have our strong points and that cooking isn’t one of mine. I’m sure my family would be the first to agree. Thankfully, my husband once worked as a chef and is happy in the kitchen – most of the time. I call myself his culinary muse, and like to invite people to dinner and then inspire him to weave his magic. He loves this – most of the time. When he’s away, I tend to keep things very simple for the kids – “pasta bums” (tortellini), which I guess require heating rather than cooking, pizza or tacos. We often order My Food Bag and I have learnt lots thanks to Nadia Lim’s recipes. But I engage my teen sous chef Cleo to…

Not too long ago, the British public were head over heels with their new princess-in-training Meghan Markle as she wowed the crowds by fiancé Prince Harry’s side. But now, just weeks out from the royal wedding, her world is crumbling as explosive tell-alls and bitter people from her past threaten to ruin her dream day. Instead of counting down excitedly to her nuptials, well-placed royal sources say Meghan, 36, is feeling lonely and overwhelmed as she comes under attack for allegedly being “cold”, “self-serving” and a pushy “social climber” by her own friends and family. She’s even been forced into hiding to escape the backlash! “Meghan and Harry were tellingly absent from the royal family’s traditional appearance at Easter Sunday church,” a palace insider tells Woman’s Day. “Usually, attendance is…

Leonardo DiCaprio’s romance with model Camila Morrone is getting serious, but he better watch out for her stepdad Al Pacino! The Godfather star, 77, and Camila’s mother Lucila Solá, 41, are in a long-term relationship, and those close to Al say he’s warned The Revenant actor, 43, to treat Camila, 20, right – or else! An insider reveals, “Al and Lucila have a huge age gap too, and that’s why they’re fine with Cami being with Leo. But Leo has a reputation for being a ladies’ man who never wants to settle down, and the last thing Al wants is for Cami to be just another fling.” They add, “The word is he’s given Leo a stern talking to and warned him to be respectful of her.” Leonardo has been…

Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell has reportedly revealed that the late royal enjoyed a steamy affair with Bryan Adams! Real Housewives of Sydney star Lisa Oldfield, 43, who appeared alongside Paul, 59, on an Aussie reality series, claims, “Diana and Bryan Adams hooked up in the mid-’90s. Apparently, Paul used to sneak him into Kensington Palace in the boot of his car.” The dalliance has been confirmed by former Bond girl Cecilie Thomsen, 43, who dated the “Summer of 69” singer, 58, for over a decade. She says, “The first time Bryan met Diana, I wasn’t invited. Ours was a stormy relationship and Bryan’s affair with Diana didn’t make it easier.”…

Nicole Kidman has given the biggest sign yet that she’s ready to leave her husband Keith Urban by drafting in a divorce lawyer! And not just any divorce lawyer. Woman’s Day can reveal Nicole has met with Jonathan Wolfe, a high-profile lawyer known in celeb circles as “the Custody King” and the man Katie Holmes hired to help her divorce Tom Cruise. An insider says, “Nicole flew to New York last month to meet with Jonathan for three hours. She said she’s not taking any drastic action as yet but wanted to know where she stood.” The secret meeting comes after reports that Nicole and Keith have been fighting constantly and had even been to marriage boot camp to try to salvage their relationship. But our insider says the actress…

Two baby bumps, a tantrum and a rather gargantuan faux pas were the order of the day when the British royals got together for their Easter Sunday church service. As the family arrived at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, it became obvious that Prince William and his heavily pregnant wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, were going to break tradition by turning up unceremoniously late. By the time the pair arrived, the Queen – who by protocol is always the last to arrive at such events – had given up waiting and gone in! William, 35, and Kate, 36, who are expecting their third child this month, blamed their tardiness on heavy traffic. After the church service, the duchess was able to compare baby bumps with the Queen’s favourite granddaughter,…

You can be forgiven if your mind instantly goes to barbecues and fireplaces, and not masks and moisturisers, when thinking about charcoal. But activated charcoal has become a hugely popular ingredient in beauty products, particularly those that aim to detoxify the skin. The term “activated” means that it’s been exposed to very high temperatures, creating microscopic, sponge-like holes that help it to absorb toxins and pollutants effectively. It’s been described as like a magnet for dirt and oil clogging up pores on the face and body, and can even be used in toothpaste and supplements to purify from the inside out. Wonder mask Garnier’s charcoal tissue mask is boosted with black algae extract, LHA and hyaluronic acid to purify, minimise pores, refine skin texture and leave your face glowing and…

Now they’re getting bigger, it’s an ever-increasing battle to feed my family. I long for the good old days of a pottle of saucy apple or a few teaspoons of mushed-up veges. Although time-consuming to prepare, at least you knew they’d eaten and had enough. But these days, sheesh. The amount of food being consumed is never-ending. A huge dinner of spaghetti bolognese, with a massive salad, plus extra carbs like bread for good measure is still not enough. About an hour after that’s digested, they’re back in the kitchen “starving”. “You don’t even know the meaning of starving,” I’ll say as I start on my children-in-Africa speech. “No, seriously, Mum, soooo hungry,” they reply as they get stuck into toast and cereal. As if night-time snacking wasn’t enough, in…

What split?! Megan Fox and husband Brian Austin Green sizzled up a storm in Hawaii last week with an impressive display of PDA. The Transformers actress, 31, and the Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, 44, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they frolicked in the sand, locking lips and slathering each other with sunscreen. The besotted duo tied the knot in Hawaii in 2010 and had two sons, Noah, five, and Bodhi, four, before separating in 2015. While they were experiencing difficulties in their marriage, however, their physical attraction was still red-hot, with Megan conceiving post-split. Just before their third son Journey was born in August 2016, the pair decided to give marriage another go and now Brian is making no bones about wanting to add to their brood.…
