While actor Liam Hemsworth and his new squeeze Gabriella Brooks, 21, hit Australia’s Byron Bay for some fun in the sun two weeks ago, Miley Cyrus and beau Cody Simpson weren’t to be outdone. Despite being on the other side of the world and in the throes of a Californian winter, the couple braved the cool winds to put on a sandy show of affection of their own. Miley, 27, stripped down to a one-piece bathing suit, but soon wrapped up warm again in a hoodie and jeans. The “Wrecking Ball” singer, who split from hubby Liam, 30, in August last year after less than 12 months of marriage, snuggled into Cody, 23, during their Malibu outing. The pair have been friends for a long time but their relationship turned…

To put it mildly, it had been a long two weeks. And when an emotional and exhausted Prince Harry finally walked through the door of his Vancouver Island mansion and into the arms of his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, he couldn’t stop the tears rolling down his cheeks. He was home at last – but at an enormous cost. In one tumultuous fortnight, the once-popular prince had turned his back on everything he’d known since the day he was born: his life as a royal, his country, his family. Now, he was about to start not just a new chapter of his life, but a brand-new book. “Their reunion was incredibly emotional,” a well-placed insider says. “The heavy burden Harry had felt about telling his family, and the world,…

She’s been married twice and now it seems actress Scarlett Johansson is worried third time won’t be a charm as she drags her heels on locking in a date to wed fiancé Colin Jost. TheJojo Rabbitactress,35,and theSaturday Night Live writer, 37, announced their engagement in May last year, but in the ensuing months the mother-of-one has got the proverbial cold feet. “Scarlett’s seen how you can enter a marriage with big expectations of everlasting love, only to have things sour quickly,” an insider spills. “She’s keeping Colin at bay for the time being while she sorts out her feelings.” As she hesitates, however, Colin hurts. “He doesn’t feel like he should have to pay the price for Scarlett’s previous heartaches,” adds the source. “He’s shown her that she can trust…

She’s been everything from a professional dancer to a political party candidate. Now Breakfast co-host Hayley Holt is gearing up for her most important role yet – motherhood! The 39-year-old – who is 17 weeks’ pregnant – took fans by surprise last week when she revealed she was expecting her first child, saying, “I’m so happy because I have wanted this for a very, very, very long time and thought my time was running out – and it hasn’t. It’s happening!” The former champion snowboarder, who won the Woman’s Day TV Personality of the Year award in 2018, let viewers in on her secret by responding to feedback from a viewer, Terry, who wrote in to the show asking, “I’ve just tuned in and I’m wondering if I’ve missed a…

A familiar face is among the line-up of lads searching for love as the first-ever Bachelorette NZ airs on TVNZ 2 this week. We met Christchurch personal trainer Tavita Karika when he appeared on the debut season of Heartbreak Island in 2018, where he was the eldest of the bunch and admitted to being a bit of an outcast. The youth worker, 30, left the challenges-based show without love and has been single ever since, but he says his latest television stint will be more up his alley. “It’ll just be about falling in love and finding a partner and I’m definitely more suited to that,” tells the tattooed gym buff. “I’m nervous about getting back into the TV world, but why not try and find love this time?…

When it comes to actors working in Hollywood today, it’s hard to find someone more successful or respected than Robert Downey Jr. “Everyone who spends time with Robert loves him,” a source says of the Iron Man star, 54. “He’s just an all-round great guy.” And it’s a far cry from the man he used to be. “Robert doesn’t talk about it often, but he’s been through a lot over the course of his life. He battled a decades-long drug addiction, has faced multiple arrests and even spent time behind bars,” tells the source, adding that the Dolittle star has told friends he knows how lucky he is to be alive. “For many years, people feared the worst. But Robert defied the odds and managed to have one of the…

Whether it’s part of your New Year’s resolution or that last bit of festive season bulk just won’t budge, these 10 simple steps, courtesy of celebrity trainer James Duigan – who boasts star clients like Elle and Emilia Clarke – will have you five kilos slimmer in just two weeks. GO GREEN Eating a ton of green leafy vegetables provides your body with fibre, which helps eliminate toxins and reduces “bingo arms”, says James. BOOZE BAN It can prove tricky to cut down on alcohol in the summer months when you want to enjoy a wine with friends, but James suggests limiting yourself to four standard drinks a week. One 95-calorie glass of wine replaces one snack! CUT BACK ON COFFEE You can have one morning coffee and from then…

Q Any tips on helping young teens make new friends? My 13-year-old daughter is struggling and I don’t know what to suggest. She is not particularly sporty, so a team sport is not necessarily the answer. • Sad Mum, Hamilton A Oh, darling, it’s our biggest concern, huh? Gosh, I remember hiding behind a tree outside my son’s school just to make sure he was playing with kids at lunch time. He wasn’t. He was in the library studying, but the thing is, he was happy. Your daughter is at a tricky age. Thirteen is bloody beastly, but they’re all going through it, and although some kids may appear to be flourishing and popular, 13 is a horror movie of an age. Give her lots of love and laughs, and…

Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19 Slow down and regain your balance, then look for ways to make your life run more smoothly. A new appliance might be money well spent, along with better storage systems or home-delivered meals. This weekend could bring a pampering session or a feel-good social event. Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20 With Venus amping up your style and charm, your efforts won’t go unnoticed, particularly if you’re looking for romance – or a promotion at work.

It’s taken me days to recover from the SAG Awards. Don’t ask me to rattle off winners because the event was totally eclipsed by pics that almost gave me a heart attack. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston sharing a tender moment backstage made my head spin and I had to sit down. Then I stared and stared at the glorious frames for hours and hours – which eventually turned into days. If you’re a regular reader of Woman’s Day, you’ll know why these pics of Brad and Jen locking eyes, clasping hands and looking like nobody else is in the room are the most amazing thing ever. This is what we’ve waited 15 years to see! If it was a Friends episode, it would have been “The One Where Brad…

As Prince Harry faced the music, finding himself saying goodbye to his life as a working royal – there was one silver lining to the whole sorry affair. He and Prince William have begun to end their two-year feud after realising it was a case of “now or never”. The formerly close brothers found time outside of Harry’s “Megxit” negotiations to hold their own secret peace talks because they both feared that if they didn’t, they might never heal the heartbreaking rift that has opened between them in recent years. “It has been groundbreaking in terms of saving their bond as brothers,” according to a palace insider. “They decided to cut out all the toxic people stirring around them to deal with each other man-to-man as brothers … and the…

In a shocking new memoir, Jessica Simpson has revealed that she “was killing myself with all the drinking and pills”, but has been sober since November 2017 after doctors warned her of the effects on her body. “Giving up alcohol was easy,” she says. “I was mad at the bottle. At how it allowed me to stay complacent and numb.” But going into therapy was much more difficult. “With work, I allowed myself to feel the traumas I’d been through.” The Dukes of Hazzard star, 39, claims she was abused as a six-year-old by the daughter of a family friend. It continued until she was 12, when she found the courage to tell her parents. “I was the victim, but somehow I felt in the wrong,” tells Jessica. The mum…

For most parents, a baby’s first smile is a precious moment. But for broadcaster Janika ter Ellen and her rugby reporter husband Ross Karl, their sweet boy Eden’s gummy grins mean so much more after a turbulent start to life. While it’s blissfully calm at the family’s Auckland home now, Janika is refreshingly honest about the struggles that came with new parenthood. Feeding problems meant their wee boy was often unhappy and unsettled, and long days and nights were spent trying to get enough milk into him. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced,” tells the Newshub reporter and Prime News weekend presenter. “That incredible force of love was always there, but I’d still spend entire days crying because I was so on edge. I was exhausted and overwhelmed.”…

Pammy’s shock marriage puts to rest rumours she was carrying on a secret romance with jailed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Pam visited the Aussie activist, 48, at the Ecuadorian Embassy, and in a British jail and campaigned to set him free. She said he had “lost about 30lbs” and would wear two pairs of tracksuit pants “to look good for me”. “His health is really deteriorating. He’s a good man, he is an incredible person,” she said. “I love him. I can’t imagine what he’s been going through.”…

JANE FONDA It’s little wonder that, at age 82, Jane is still rocking a svelte figure and impeccable posture. In the ’80s, the Oscar-winning actress swapped the big screen for bouffant hair and leg warmers as she set about teaching the world how to get fit the Jane Fonda way. Largely responsible for inspiring the at-home fitness and aerobics craze that swept the globe, Jane produced more than 20 workout videos over 13 years and now has a series focusing on fitness for older people. DENISE AUSTIN The original fitness trailblazer, Denise is living proof at 62 that a healthy lifestyle and working out keeps you looking good. The former gymnast had her own TV show, Getting Fit with Denise Austin, and was responsible for designing the food pyramid guidance…

It’s no exaggeration to say Ryan Buchanan’s journey to the Invictus Games is buying him extra time as he fights the battle of his life against terminal cancer. Diagnosed in mid-2018 with soft tissue sarcoma cancer, the New Zealand Army bombardier was given 12 months to live after countless inoperable tumours were discovered in his lungs. Yet the relentlessly positive 25-year-old refuses to be dragged down by his diagnosis. And after successfully applying to compete for New Zealand at the 2020 Invictus Games – under the encouragement of big sister and Air Force sergeant Tomina Bentley – the move has played a huge part in improving both his physical and mental wellbeing. So much so that his latest oncology appointment revealed the tumours are shrinking and his life expectancy has…

• Apply wax in the same direction your hair grows, and remove it by pulling off in the opposite direction. • To make waxing less painful and much quicker, be sure your hair is the perfect length – around 5mm. Any shorter and the wax has nothing to adhere to; any longer and the process is unnecessarily painful. • Choose the best time to wax. Two days before or two days after your period can be more painful than other times of the month due to increased hormone levels. Try to avoid these times like the plague!…

Something tells me that 2020 is going to be the year of heightened climate debate. I’m all for it as long as everyone agrees with me, and most of the younger generation, that the planet is in crisis and it’s our fault and we need to fix it. Yep, I’m team Greta Thunberg all the way. Jeremy Clarkson on the other hand … When the gobby Top Gear goon suggested recently that Australia was burning because God didn’t want anyone to live there and they should come to the UK instead, I wanted to find out his address and publish it along with an open invitation.“Hey, Australia, party on at Clarkson’s – for the rest of your life! Drink rosé and punch people until the end of time!” The bushfires…

Making a New Year’s resolution has always seemed really stupid to me. I’m just not very good at sticking to things. Mind you, I have stuck to the same career or versions of it for years, and I did stick to loads of diets, especially when I had no money, but to make a New Year’s resolution takes thought and consideration. That is why now at nearly the end of the first month of 2020 I have no real resolutions. I always fall back on: 1. Go to the gym. 2. Make sure you go to the gym. 3. If you stop going to the gym, then don’t forget to cancel the membership. 4. Next year, don’t join a gym. I did hear someone say that instead of choosing a…

But each of us, royal or not, only has one life. Harry has been through so much, losing his beloved mother when he was still a child and growing up in the spotlight of the…

The warm smile, the tender hug, the clasped hands that lingered just a moment longer than necessary … Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s loving display of affection at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last week said it all – Hollywood’s former golden couple have finally made their way back to each other. Almost 15 years to the day after Brad walked out on their five-year marriage and into the arms of his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, the internet went into meltdown on January 20 at the sight of the reunited couple’s backstage embrace. Moments before the pictures were taken, Jennifer had joyfully accepted a gong for her role in The Morning Show and Brad – who had earlier scooped his own award for his role in Once…

Hollywood’s most notorious bachelor is set to put a ring on it! After dating a catalogue of Victoria’s Secret models and actresses, Woman’s Day can reveal that Leonardo DiCaprio has finally found his romantic destiny with Camila Morrone. “Leo’s commissioned Brad Pitt’s jewellery designer, Robert Procop, to create an engagement ring after telling his pal he’s ready to start a family with Camila, the first woman who has ever truly made him want to settle down,” says a source. And naturally, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor, who has ranked as one of the world’s highest paid actors a whopping eight times, is going all-out for his 22-year-old love. “Robert’s designed a $3 million, 16-carat emerald-cut diamond ring surrounded by pink diamonds,” says the insider, adding that the…

Rock star Ozzy Osbourne, well known for his battles with drugs and alcohol, has revealed he has Parkinson’s disease. The shock diagnosis came after a fall in the bathroom last year, which he describes as the “worst, longest, most painful, miserable year of my life”. The Black Sabbath frontman says he has a “mild form” of Parkin 2, but is adamant it won’t stop him from living. “It has been terribly challenging for us,” he says of its impact on wife Sharon, 67, and children Aimee, 36, Kelly, 35, and Jack, 34. “I had to have surgery on my neck which screwed all my nerves.” Sharon explains, “It’s not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination. But it does affect the nerves in your body. It’s like you’ll…

They first dated three decades ago and now Pamela Anderson and movie mogul Jon Peters have come full circle, tying the knot last week. Pamela, 52, and Jon, 74, married in a private ceremony on January 20, on a clifftop in Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean after reuniting just a few months ago. It was attended by her adult sons, Brandon, 23, and Dylan, 22, and Jon’s ex-wife producer Christine Forsyth-Peters and their daughters Caleigh and Skye. Larger-than-life Jon, whose movies include Batman, FlashdanceandThe Witches of Eastwick, says, “Pamela has never seen her full potential as an artist. She has yet to shine in a real way. There’s much more to her than meets the eye, or I wouldn’t love her so much. “There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could…

When vivacious television star Jodie Rimmer slipped and smashed her knee open on rocks while walking down Mount Albert in Auckland recently, it was a loyal furry friend that stopped to help. Abby, a rescue dog Jodie adopted from the pound four years ago, raced to the Celebrity Treasure Island star’s side to comfort her. Then the pooch used her athletic grey hound-huntaway cross frame to help an injured Jodie hobble back to the car. “When I called Abby over, she just stood there while I held on to her and breathed through the pain,” recalls the mum of sons Xavier, nine, and Theo, seven. “She knew something was up even though I wasn’t making much noise. Dogs are so intuitive and intelligent, and have a lot of healing energy.”…

If Cyrell and Martha’s wine-throwing incident last season was enough to make you scream at the TV, then hold on to your remote! Woman’s Day is told the ratings juggernaut will have the whole country talking when some of MAFS’ most explosive scandals are revealed in the coming weeks. Here’s what to expect ... 1 NO MORE NICE-GIRL LIZZIE! Our on-set spy warns that fans shouldn’t expect to see the downtrodden Lizzie Sobinoff we saw last year! “She’s back with a vengeance! She’ll be taking no prisoners this season and certainly won’t be putting up with cheating or bitchiness from the other participants,” says the insider, who insists the 28-year-old, rumoured to be entering as an intruder, is involved in some of the “feistiest spats” the show has ever seen.…

Weddings are a stressful and emotional time for any bride. But for Vaha Kaafi, giving birth to her first child just 16 hours before her nuptials was one of many challenges the Auckland woman had to face before walking down the aisle. Vaha, 24, delivered her gorgeous baby daughter Ofeina the night before marrying her love Tai Kaafi, also 24. Despite the exhaustion and lack of sleep, the brand-new mum and nervous bride-to-be couldn’t rest. She had to change from a hospital gown into her custom-made wedding dress and tie the knot in front of 350 guests. Furthermore, it was a traditional Tongan wedding, with two full days of celebrations. “I was tired and exhausted,” recalls Vaha. “But the doctors gave me the all-clear to get married. I knew I…

As the summer holiday season draws to a close, your hair and skin might be feeling the effects of all that sun, salt and occasional overindulgence!

The key word here is moisture – our bodies are often in desperate need of extra hydration at this time of year, so follow these tips to get your glow back.

I need to go into therapy for addiction. Dog addiction, that is. Is that even a thing? It is in my world anyway. I’m addicted to my dog. When she was a tiny puppy, I felt all protective and mother hen about her, but as she grew, I thought (stupidly) that I’d chill a bit, that I’d be less protective and clingy around her, but in fact my addiction only got worse. To explain just how bad my addiction got, I have to confess that we didn’t travel overseas for a whole year. Not even a domestic trip. I couldn’t bear to leave her. We told ourselves that we were just doing our bit to save the planet, conserve the carbon footprint, cut down on air miles etc – but…

After a whopping 50 years in the fashion industry, Jean Paul Gaultier has taken his final bow. In a spectacular show last week at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, the rich and famous gathered to watch Bella, 23, and Gigi Hadid, 24, Dita von Teese, 47, and Paris Jackson, 21, strut the catwalk in the 67-year-old’s designs. Jean Paul, who has dressed stars including Nicole Kidman, Rihanna and Madonna, announced two weeks ago that this runway would be his last. “It’s going to be quite a party with many of my friends, and we’re going to have fun until very, very late,” he said. But while he’s leaving the world of haute couture, don’t expect this to be the last we see of him – word has it he’s…
