It was, as public apologies go, pretty epic. Nearly two weeks after Justin Timberlake was snapped getting close to his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright in New Orleans – without his wedding band – the singer took to Instagram in an attempt to explain his behaviour and make amends with his wife Jessica Biel and their four-year-old son Silas. Highlighting that “nothing happened” with Alisha, Justin wrote, “I drank way too much that night and I regret my behaviour. I should have known better.” But the mea culpa may have been too little too late, with sources confirming the 38-year-old is struggling to save his seven-year marriage to Jessica, 37. “The cheating scandal has exploded and the repercussions of Justin’s actions in New Orleans are far from over,” according to an…

She can’t bend spoons, but Wellington Paranormal star Karen O’Leary can do the death drop and she did once mistake the lights on top of the transmitter on Mount Victoria for an alien invasion. Blame it on the wind. When Wellington gets a blow on, anything crazy can happen. And today is one of those days, except unlike the rest of us who get a bit cranky after what seems like weeks on end of it, Karen reckons she’s in her element. “The wind makes people creative, it keeps them fresh,” she asserts. It’s not clear if she’s taking the proverbial as it’s hard to tell where Officer O’Leary from black comedy Paranormal stops and Karen O’Leary starts. In person, the Wellington comedienne is eerily similar to her alter ego,…

On October 31, 2016, Michael Bublé and his wife Luisana Lopilato got some heartbreaking news: their then-three-year-old son Noah had been diagnosed with liver cancer. “It’s the worst possible thing that you could hear as a parent, maybe as a human being,” recalls Michael, who dropped everything to be by Noah’s side through his treatments. “Life changes for all of us when we face the mortality of someone who you love so much. It made my faith stronger and taught me that every day should be filled with joy. I don’t have room for anything else.” The Canadian crooner, 44, has been living that way ever since. This holiday season marks one year since Michael happily shared that Noah’s cancer is in remission. “Not a day goes by that he…

TARREN McCALL, 59, PROFESSIONAL NUTRITIONIST For mum-of-four Tarren McCall, healthy eating and fitness weren’t things she was taught about as a child. Brought up in a single-parent household, cheap and easy food was the norm, which also meant poor nutrition. “My mum was quite sickly all the time and we didn’t really have a lot of money, so the food was always filling types like cheese on toast,” says Tarren, an award-winning former body builder. “She’d keep all the crusts and bake them in the oven with marmite and peanut butter, or make things with white flour. I didn’t know anything about food or nutrition.” As an overweight teen growing up in Auckland, Tarren put off PE and swimming classes at school in fear of being teased. “I comfort ate…

1 Place serving bowls on the board first in various spots so the board feels balanced. Then place the rest of the ingredients, from largest to smallest. 2 If there are items on the board that need to be served warm, put them on last. Also, plan to put any sliced apples, pears or banana on the board last because they tend to brown quickly. 3 Simple touches like fanning crackers around the serving bowls, drizzling hummus with olive oil and adding fresh herbs make the board all the more beautiful and inviting. 4 Keep moisture-rich ingredients like fresh-cut fruit and pickled vegetables (drained and patted dry) apart from crispy foods like crackers and nuts, so they don’t get soggy.…

The silly season is in full swing, which for many of us means late nights and a good amount of festive imbibing. If you’ve woken fully clothed with a cheeseburger on your nightstand and have to start that Christmas shopping, recover your composure with these post-party pick-me-ups. Hair-oes A good dry shampoo is your first port of call for refreshing limp locks and mopping up oil. If that doesn’t work, cut your losses and sweep hair back into a ponytail or high bun – it’ll make you look peppy and constrains unruly strands. If your tresses have the unappealing aroma of last night’s location, a hair perfume will replace it with a pretty scent instead. With notes of rose and musk, (1) Kerasilk Color Beautifying Hair Perfume, $47, reactivates the…

Auckland photographer Rebekah Robinson recently arranged for a Noel Leeming expert to install her new TV – and his professional expertise really paid off. “We purchased a new smart TV that needed to be wall-mounted in our living room, so we had a Noel Leeming tech expert come over to help install it for us,” explains Rebekah. “Not only did he mount it and set up all of our apps, but he also recommended we move our existing TV into our rumpus room. He set this up for us too, including the installation of net extenders so we could get internet access to this room.”…

Q One of the dads in our social circle had a few drinks at a barbecue and announced to our large group of preschoolers that Santa isn’t real. My kids were so upset and I am livid. Now he is really sorry but the damage has been done. What do I say to the kids? • Bah Humbug!, Levin A What an a**hole! Oh, but don’t say that to the kids! Seriously, though, what a complete idiot. I’d say he has more problems than a big mouth. Well, here’s what I think. I believe in Santa. I do. I believe in miracles and magic, and I do believe in Santa. I’d tell my kids that he’s a silly man who was always on Santa’s naughty list and so doesn’t like…

He’s one of the most loved performers in the world and with a career spanning more than 50 years, Sir Elton John has some wild stories to tell! The 72-year-old recently sat down with Graham Norton for an exclusive interview – here are some of the biggest revelations ... Even a battle with cancer couldn’t take away his sense of humour! Two weeks after an operation he was back on stage – wearing a nappy due to surgical complications! “If only they knew at this very particular minute that I am pissing myself,” he laughed. With their careers taking off at the same time, Rod Stewart and Elton developed a loving rivalry. Both enjoying a practical joke, Elton once got a blimp promoting Rod’s concert shot out of the sky.…

It’s the season of joy and goodwill, but Angelina Jolie has received an early Christmas message from the family of her soon-to-be ex-husband Brad Pitt – and it wasn’t sugar-coated! There’s no denying life’s been difficult for Maleficent siren Angelina and Ad Astra hunk Brad since their marriage imploded in 2016, but caught in the crossfire has also been Brad’s beloved parents Bill and Jane, who over the past three years have seen virtually nothing of their six grandchildren. In addition to missing out on watching Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 11, grow up, insiders say the deeply religious couple have been devastated by Angelina’s “constant public slamming” of their son, and this festive season Jane apparently decided enough was enough. Angelina,…

While her former sweetheart Justin is going through a sticky patch, Britney Spears is faring even worse! The “Toxic” singer, 38, sparked fresh concerns for her mental health last week when she uploaded a video of herself on social media looking dishevelled and “crazy dancing” for the camera – and an insider tells Woman’s Day it has everything to do with losing custody of her two sons Sean, 14, and Jayden, 13. In September, a judge increased her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s custody of the boys from 50% to 70% and, claims the source, “ever since then she’s been displaying signs of having another nervous breakdown. She’s lashing out at everyone close to her, flying off the handle at the slightest thing and accusing everyone of plotting to destroy her.” Britney’s…

With a showbiz career spanning more than three decades, Drew Barrymore knows all too well that the camera adds five kilograms. Now, as she prepares to start filming her very own talk show early next year, a pal claims she’s temporarily giving up alcohol to ensure she looks her best. “She loves her wine but realises she has to make some sacrifices if she wants to achieve her goal,” explains the friend. “She’s not thrilled with her figure and is sick of feeling bloated and out of shape.” The pal claims Drew has even been turning down party invites and social events so she’s not tempted to drink, which in turn has given her more time to focus on her wellbeing. “She’s doing lots of hot yoga again, and eating…

Jennifer Hudson has a special way of keeping track of her biggest achievements in life – she names her pets after them. One of her dogs is Oscar and one Grammy, while her newest puppy has been given the moniker Dreamgirl in honour of the movie that catapulted her to stardom. No prizes, then, for guessing what she might name the next addition to her family. Laughs Jennifer, who stars in the big-screen version of the musical Cats,opening in New Zealand on Boxing Day, “I’m thinking about getting a cat and naming it Grizabella.” Jennifer joins a host of fellow A-listers in the adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash-hit stage musical, including Taylor Swift, Dame Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Rebel Wilson and Sir Ian McKellen. And Hollywood is already abuzz…

JIMMY KIMMEL  The late-night talk show host’s son was born in  2017 with a congenital heart disease that forced him to undergo multiple open-heart surgeries as an infant. But more than two years later, Jimmy, 52, says Billy is “doing great”. ANNA FARIS & CHRIS PRATT Doctors found that Jack, who was born several weeks premature, was suffering from brain bleeding – and that “there was a chance he could be disabled”, recalls Anna, 43. Thankfully, Jack, now seven, only has minor leg muscle and vision issues. JAIME KING  In 2016, the Hart of Dixie alum, 40, shared that son Leo, now four, had surgery for a rare heart defect. “It was a terrifying experience. We almost lost him,” she says. Luckily, Leo’s “doing amazing”.…

Justine Hamill packed up her yoga mat as the last of her students left and immediately called her best friend. Something unexpected had happened. She’d just met a man who’d totally knocked the wind out of her. “Whatever the light is inside him, it’s pretty bright and that’s what I saw straight away,” says the Wellington yoga studio owner, 43. “I told her all about him and our instant connection, then said, ‘S***!’” He was Dylan Harris, 33, a prison inmate taking part in her yoga class at Rimutaka Prison’s Drug and Alcohol Treatment Unit. He was a recovering addict, raised in the thick of South Auckland gangs, in jail for his third time. “I’m serious about boundaries, so I told my friend I’d keep them intact,” recalls the mum…

YELLOW CAPSICUM These guys are full of vitamin C! Yep, eating two-thirds of a cup of yellow capsicum reportedly delivers 306% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, helping to boost your immune system and lower the risk of heart disease. It’s also a good source of vitamin B6, which promotes liver function and eye, skin and hair health, and folate, which is beneficial for pregnant women as it supports foetal growth. SHELLFISH Prawns, crayfish, crab, scallop and oysters – to name a few varieties – are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are important in maintaining heart health by protecting against strokes and heart disease. They’re also a source of vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bones, and vitamin B12, which supports nervous system function and the…

There’s absolutely no reason to use Baby Jesus’ birth as an excuse to devour anything unlucky enough to cross your path – but on Christmas Day, I just wake up super-hungry. And no matter what I eat, I stay that way – until Boxing Day. And you’re talking to someone who doesn’t even do ham. Or trifle. But the Ginger might start me off with a little something croissant-y for breakfast because it’s a holiday, and in our house we worship butter almost as much as anything else. For morning tea there’ll be chocolate. I’m not usually a chocolate hog – it can sit in the fridge for months – but come December 25, I’m on it like a fly on manure. I do have standards – it needs to…

In the last few weeks, I’ve lost the light and warmth of two beautiful young women, and the tragedy is that both were alcohol-related. They were brilliant, educated, beautiful, funny, sweet, kind, bright, young and exceptional women. They were both physically gifted with bodies that wanted to perform great things and both represented our country in sport. These two women didn’t know each other, but both knew the black, insidious disease of alcoholism. The world’s lost its sparkle and a heap of potential, and left behind baffled friends and family, heartbroken lovers and beautiful babies without their mothers. One is dead at 29. How clearly I remember her so sweetly commenting on my eyebrows. I sent her off to my friend Cherie at Feather Touch. She looked amazing afterwards. We…

Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 22 There’s no prize for being perfect, so lower that bar a little. If the pressure’s mounting, make time for stress-relieving walks or swims, then schedule a debrief with pals. An end-of-year function should put things into perspective – there may be an incentive for singles. Capricorn DEC 23 - JAN 20 Your stars are growing brighter by the day! Thanks to Jupiter, the planet of learning and expansion, many Goats are on the brink of a stimulating new era. Weekend social events could prove unexpectedly enjoyable, and adding to the upbeat vibe, a gift might take you by surprise.

Miami nice Sporting hair extensions under her red bandanna, BELLA HADID, 23, shows off her toned torso on a beach in Miami until fellow supermodel KENDALL JENNER, 24, decides it’s tickle time!

It’s the week before Christmas, the time when panic-buying, excessive list writing, menu anxiety, flocking to heaving malls and the eternal search for wrapping paper and sticky tape is in full swing. But strangely, I feel calm. I’m not going to engage in the Nightmare Before Christmas madness. I’m determined to glide towards December 25 with a serene smile. All is calm, all is bright! Well that’s today’s theory. And by the time you could prove otherwise, I’ll be camping in the Coromandel with family, friends and the joy of no phone reception – putting the pressure of Christmas well behind me. My determination to remain tranquil was tested this morning when I found out my husband’s trip to the butcher to order the ham two weeks ago ended with…

Until their 2005 divorce, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were Hollywood’s golden couple – and on January 5 they’re due to glimmer on the red carpet once again at the Golden Globes. Jennifer, 50, has been nominated for her role in The Morning Show, while Brad has landed a nod for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and a well-placed insider says former Friends star Jen has come up with a plan to scotch rumours they’re reuniting. “She wants to use the opportunity to prove that while they’ve rebuilt their relationship, it’s strictly platonic,” says the source. Jennifer’s suggested that Brad bring Alia with him to the ceremony, while she’s already asked her ex-husband Justin Theroux, 48, to accompany her. “She’s telling pals it could be an opportunity for her…

She’s used to hitting the red carpet, but when Nicky Hilton Rothschild posed at the Footwear News Achievement Awards earlier this month, onlookers were shocked with her extremely slight figure. At 1.7 metres tall, the fashion designer “has to be 40 kilograms”, says Dr. Fred Pescatore, a NYC-based physician and author specialising in nutrition. “Her knees and legs are skeletal.” The doctor, who doesn’t treat Nicky, also speculates that the 36-year-old’s fuchsia Retrofête dress was hiding just how slim the heiress has become. “I’d bet it has shoulder pads,” he says. “She looks unhealthily thin.” The mum of daughters Lily, three, and Teddy, two, with financier husband James Rothschild, 34, has said she does regular personal training sessions and favours post-workout juices and smoothies. She once bragged she was at…

Madonna, 61, has no problem expressing herself and neither do her children. The mother of reinvention’s new alter ego, Madame X – a secret agent with an ever-present eye patch – has left her eldest kids Lourdes Leon, 23, and Rocco Ritchie, 19, cringeing! “Madonna’s kids are in agreement,” says a source. “They think she looks like a crazy Halloween pirate and have begged her to ditch the eye patch already. “She has a lot of fans who love every wacky thing she does,” the source says. “Her children, however, don’t.”…

She’s had her share of love rats, but it seems Sandra Bullock’s boyfriend is a different story. The photographer is already a father to her adopted children Louis, nine, and Laila, seven, in all the ways that matter, but now sources reveal Bryan Randall is doing everything in his power to make his role as “Dad” official. The loved-up pair have gone from strength to strength since they met in 2015 when Bryan photographed Louis’ school graduation, and adopting her children is a natural next step. But the 53-year-old, who has been sober for more than a decade and is reportedly a changed man, may be in for a serious fight to get what he wants. Before meeting Sandra, Bryan had a bad rap sheet involving drugs and various other…

Oriini Kaipara recalls pretending to be a news presenter in front of her classmates as a kid, standing before a make-believe camera as her bulletins flowed in te reo. For friends and family of the Maori mum-of-four, it’s no surprise she became an award-winning journalist. And now she’s hit headlines herself as the first person with a moko kauae to read mainstream news on TV. “I was a boisterous, inquisitive, know-it-all little girl,” laughs Oriini, 36, who made her 1 News debut filling in as a midday presenter last month. “Then I had two of my kids by 17, went to film school because it was a one-year course, and kind of fell into journalism after that.” The Whakatane-born presenter’s journalism experience includes working on Maori radio station Ruia Mai…

Protein is essential for the healthy growth and repair of our bodies, but often when thinking of ways to increase it in our diets, we turn to steak, chicken and eggs. Yet there are plenty of other ways to up our intake with plant-based food, rather than meat and dairy. If, like me, you’re trying to reduce the amount of meat you’re eating, rest assured that plant-based proteins can meet our dietary needs, all while packing a nutrient-dense punch and helping the environment too. BETTER SLEEP When you eat a rainbow of fruit and vegetables, it aids in a great quality sleep. A steady supply of nutrients from plants means better-balanced nutrition generally, leading to fewer cravings. When you stop reaching for stimulants like sugar, caffeine and processed foods, you…

So how do you get set up? And what do you do if something goes wrong? Q It’s time for a new TV, but I’m not ‘wired’ to take care of all the practical and technical jobs that go with it.

This is a time of year when my husband really lets us know we are landowners. He starts to fret about the rain – or lack of it. He’ll stare at the forecast online and shake his head in the manner of a drought-ravaged disgruntled farmer. “Not good,” he’ll utter. “What’s not good?” I ask. “The weather,” he replies. “The weather? It’s amazing!” I reply, looking at the beaming, gleaming sunshine. “Nope, not good for the paddocks,” he replies. “Great for the kids, though!” I quip as I watch my daughter skip through her homemade waterslide on the lawn. “Nope,” he replies resolutely. And it’s not a bit of drizzle he’s happy with either. If the odd rain cloud hovers above and drops fragmented amounts on the grass, he still…

ANNIE JONES AS JANE HARRIS 1986-1989 Plain Jane Superbrain (aka Annie) stole our hearts when she fell in love with on-screen boyfriend Mike Young (played by Guy Pearce). Annie, 52, went on to appear in a number of Aussie TV shows, including Sons and Daughters, Blue Heelers and, most recently, Secret Bridesmaids’ Business, before stepping out of the limelight to care for her sick mother, who sadly died in 2016. Annie says returning to Neighbours is like “going home and putting on an old pair of shoes”. MELISSA BELL AS LUCY ROBINSON 1991-2016 Melissa was the third actress to play Lucy, and she did so on and off for 25 years. The 47-year-old has also appeared in a number of TV shows, including Water Rats and…

Parton me! Reading Dolly Parton’s no-holds-barred autobiography was an absolute eye-opener for me, finding out what an astute, savvy businesswoman and humanitarian she is. So I was surprised when a travel agent at an information evening dissed Dolly in regard to Dollywood, the theme park she instigated and financed to bring revenue and employment to the community. I suggested the travel agent should do his homework before he did another presentation. I did enjoy your recent article about Dolly and her husband Carl’s life currently (WD, Dec 9). Going by Dolly’s past endeavours, her fortune will benefit many. She’s truly an amazing woman who has never forgotten her roots. • Ann, Tasman Christmas giving What a gorgeous read on our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and other Kiwi stars’ Christmas letters…

If you’ve got it, flaunt it! Kate Moss basked in the Florida sunshine last week as she posed for snaps as part of Dior’s newest menswear campaign. Wearing a beret and black coat – with nothing underneath – there were no signs the supermodel’s career will be slowing down any time soon. Earlier in the week, the 45-year-old rubbed shoulders with stars including David Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Bella Hadid at the Dior Men’s Pre-Fall show. But Kate also made sure to have some downtime. Soaking up the gorgeous Miami weather with friends, the catwalk queen looked radiant. It was a nice break before she heads back to London to launch her own fashion label, which is set to rival Victoria Beckham’s! Called Rockeens, it will feature silk dresses and…

Kanye West did his best to steel attention away from the $230,000 banana at Miami’s Art Basel last week. Dressed in a bizarre silver costume with his face and hair painted the same colour, the 42-year-old looked like he belonged on the set of The Wizard of Oz rather than in an opera portraying the oft-told tale of the birth of Jesus. Called Mary,the performance was held on a barge in an inlet on Virginia Key. The music included updated versions of the rapper’s old tracks interspersed with traditional songs such as “O Holy Night” and “Drummer Boy”. The performance, which started an hour late, was made up of 12 scenes, with the rapper reading passages from the Bible. Unlike most operas, the audience was not told to turn off…
