I was left very red-faced last week when I scored a big fat zero in the celebrity round of lockdown quiz night – a new weekly tradition for myself and a group of friends. How was I to know that Jennifer Lawrence has a tattoo reminding herself to stay hydrated!? Meanwhile, I’d love to hear from any reader who knows which celeb has a bathtub in the exact shape of their body. No cheating! I’ll be doing my best to redeem myself this week. For those of you also taking part in lockdown trivia nights, we’ve got plenty of juicy stories out of Hollywood to help you get prepped. Good luck! All prices and values are in Australian dollars.

Katie Holmes could deal with the fact Jamie Foxx predictably hooked up with a much-younger model when they split. But sources say she’s fuming about the 52-year-old now hitting on fellow actress Halle Berry, 53, who Katie has shared a years-long rivalry with. In a recent makeup-free Instagram post of Halle’s, Jamie publicly commented that she looks “flawless”. “Jamie has a huge crush on Halle, always has, and Katie knows it,” says an insider. “It used to be a source of insecurity for her, so for him to do this has really hurt her feelings. Her worst nightmare is him hooking up with her.” Katie, 41, and Jamie announced their five-year relationship was over in August, with Katie remaining in New York with her daughter Suri, 14, while Jamie stayed…

David Beckham’s nickname might go from Golden Balls to Golden Bald if new photos of how his hair is coping during lockdown are anything to go by. Posh’s husband is widely rumoured to have had a hair transplant two years ago to keep his money-making locks in place. We’re told the 45-year-old is apparently “melting down” over not being able to maintain his look, which earns him lucrative modelling contracts and magazine covers. “Even with his money and celebrity pull, David’s doing the right thing and not bending the rules to keep up his hair maintenance, but it’s having a terrible effect on his self-esteem,” says an insider. “He sees his hair as a crucial part of his brand. Hopefully, his thinning rug doesn’t push him into a midlife crisis.”…

Her 45kg weight loss created global headlines last week, but eagle-eyed fans were quick to suggest Adele’s dress size isn’t all that’s changed. And leading US-based surgeons agree, saying the 32-year-old has likely had a bit of a cosmetic touch up. Dr Howard Sobel tells the New York Post the Hello singer, who denies having surgery, appears to have had filler and Botox. “Given her weight loss, she would have also lost facial volume, leading her features to droop,” he says. “Since she looks fresh-faced and wrinkle free, I suspect she has had fillers in multiple facial areas.” Dr Ramtin Kassir agrees, adding, she may have added filler to her jawline because it appears more “pronounced”.…

Amid princes Harry and William’s spectacular falling out, there remains an invisible victim – the long-awaited statue of Princess Diana, commissioned three years ago to take pride of place in the late royal’s favourite spot in the Kensington Palace gardens. Sources have revealed it’s still not finished, and one of the reasons is because the brothers can’t agree on her final look. “They’ve been butting heads on everything ever since Harry took issue with Prince William asking him to wait before proposing to Meghan to make sure he knew what he was doing,” says a source. “Harry took that very personally, and has fought against his brother ever since, including butting heads over their mum’s statue.” A source tells The Mail On Sunday that William, 37, is “exasperated” by how…

The British royal family is preparing for the cold, hard reality that Queen Elizabeth II may never again return to public life. With the COVID-19 crisis showing no sign of abating any time soon in the United Kingdom, the Queen, 94, is preparing to face the fact she may be required to officially end her record-smashing 68 years on the throne and make way for Prince Charles, who has already caught and recovered from the killer virus. A source tells Woman’s Day, “At her age, she is about as high risk as it gets. If this is the way she ends her reign it would be terribly sad and unfair, but having her go out in public and catch the virus and end it that way is even more unthinkable.”…

Talkback king Alan Jones’ shock announcement that he was retiring from his $4 million-a-year 2GB breakfast radio job last week delivered an opportunity for Today host Karl Stefanovic to switch to radio and another massive pay cheque. Nine’s $3 million man has long considered a jump and sees himself perfectly placed to fill the afternoon drive slot left vacant by TV and radio star Ben Fordham, 43, who will take on Alan’s coveted job. BETTER PROSPECTS “Karl’s been hinting to Nine since they took over Macquarie Radio that he’s open to getting off Today and the early mornings in favour of a cushy radio drive slot,” one network exec confirms. “He’s just become a dad again, and it’s far more civilised working 3pm to 6pm Monday to Friday than having…

ANGELA CLANCY, 37 The Perth events manager is feisty and determined to take out the top spot. “Big Brother has met his match and [he] better come prepared because I don’t back down,” she says. DANIEL GORRINGE,27 Since retiring from AFL in 2017, he has amassed more than 76,000 Insta-followers and has become known for his videos, which show him in various states of undress. ZOE GEORGE, 29 Not officially announced, Sydney’s Zoe is known for her The Subtle Mummy blog, but it’s anything but subtle. She isn’t afraid to talk about the most taboo topics with #nofilter. MAT GARRICK, 30 Dubbed the “outback tradie” from Broken Hill in NSW, Mat isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. “It’s a game, ya gotta remember that. It’s kill or be killed…

Back in 2011, women over 50 bought more lipsticks than any other age group. However, since then, that number has dropped. And because lipstick is such a great way to instantly lift your appearance, we couldn’t bear to think ladies are snubbing it because they don’t know how to rock a pop of colour. So, to put all stigmas and uncertainties aside, here’s our best lipstick tips… Tip #1 Everyday care As you age, your lips can lose fullness and form a thinner appearance. To keep them in good condition, we recommend using a hydrating lip balm liberally and daily. Exfoliate your lips with a scrub every now and then to help create a smooth appearance. Do this before bed and follow with a thick layer of balm. 1.…

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Why hadn’t anyone told me this before? This was the piece of advice I’d been seeking for 30 years – and it was as simple as breathing! I’d thought there was something wrong with me because I couldn’t banish negative thoughts. Instead, it turned out that thinking, whether positive or negative, was part of being human – and a feature of our minds that is not remotely related to whether we’re disciplined enough, serious enough or confident enough. Jon Kabat-Zinn (a professor and mindfulness expert) likened thoughts to waves in the ocean – they’re always there. You can’t put a plexiglass sheet on the ocean to stop waves forming, but if you sink 10 metres below the waves everything is calm. Thoughts,…

Nobody likes the idea of divorce, and according to a report by financial services company AMP, it can take up to five years for divorcees to recover financially. “Divorce carries a huge cost, which can cause significant emotional and financial distress,” AMP financial adviser Andrew Heaven explains. Even happily married women are wise to safeguard their financial position by treating joint assets and liabilities as their own, and to always be aware of what’s going on with their money. With this solid understanding in place, Andrew says it’s possible to achieve your financial goals, regardless of your relationship status. “Not only does it help you understand how much collateral you have, it also gives protection in the event that you do separate,” he says. IF YOU’RE… HEADING FOR DIVORCE Before…

AMANDA SAYS Maggie says Ann’s late father was the one who met her when she passed. Maggie was so happy with the long life she had with Ann. She tells me she absolutely adores her grandma, who is Ann’s mum. Maggie says she went peacefully in her sleep. She reveals she was abandoned, and for some reason she made her way to the school that Ann worked at. From that moment, the two were very much together. Maggie wants Ann to know the best thing she ever did was wander into the schoolyard that day. ANN SAYS I’ve missed my Maggie and was interested to see if Amanda would connect with her. What really resonated with me was Amanda saying I hadn’t planned Maggie – that was so true. She…

Fans are worried Grant and Chezzi Denyer may be struggling after the duo have been noticeably absent from social media this past month. And last week an emotionally drained Chezzi, 40, confirmed their worse fears. “We had an unexpected and sudden death in the family – very sad,” Chezzi told her 54,000 followers, before confessing, “There have been a few other things taking up our attention lately”. The post left fans wondering if the usually happy couple are OK. Certainly, the past two years have left them under intense pressure, with Chezzi having to step up as 42-year-old Grant’s manager – as well as his horrific back injury. In tears on radio at the time, Chezzi said, “He’s in a lot of pain and it’s really difficult to watch. It…

‘She has him isolated from the outside world now’ With his former home at Frogmore Cottage fast becoming a distant memory, insiders close to the Duke of Sussex say he has turned his back on his royal life once and for all. Friends say just two months after sneaking her husband and one-year-old son across the border from Canada to Los Angeles – which involved a cloak-and-dagger mission involving rich friend, and now landlord, Tyler Perry’s private jet – Meghan’s mission to “indoctrinate” Harry into Hollywood life has begun. And it’s not as innocent as it sounds. “He’s changed into a totally different person already surrounded by these woo-woo LA types,” complains a close friend. “He used to call Hollywood a cult, and now he is eating up Meghan’s hippie-dippy…

The Sussexes are continuing their push to build a Hollywood court, and their latest hiring has ruffled feathers with their on-again, off-again mates David and Victoria Beckham. It’s been revealed they’ve taken on the Beckhams’ former personal assistant Rebecca Mostow to help them with day-to-day life in LA. “Posh was a bit shocked,” says a source. “Their relationship has been hot and cold with the Sussexes since Harry accused Victoria of selling stories to the British press about Meghan in their dating days. “Every now and then, Meghan will ‘love bomb’ Posh with texts or make a point of wearing one of her dresses, but then fall off the face of the earth again. Meghan hired Rebecca without checking with her, which she thinks is rather strange.”…

When Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness adopted a baby boy from a rural American family – who was born almost 20 years ago to the day amid tragic circumstances – they knew they faced a lifelong, incredibly emotional journey. And none more so than the past two years, after their son Oscar turned 18 and chose to reunite with his birth family. Woman’s Day has exclusively uncovered a heart-melting picture of the moment Oscar was introduced to his biological sisters Olivia and Nyomi Lanham, who have been raised by their birth mother Amber Lanham’s sister Rochelle in the US midwestern town of Vinton, Iowa. In a caption accompanying an Instagram post of the foursome’s first family photo in February 2018, Oscar touchingly penned a tribute to his aunt and sisters,…

Lisa Wilkinson has confessed to being left “heartbroken” and visibly shaken after discovering her family members stood trial for murder. In a bid to find out her parents’ unknown ancestry, The Project host was taken from Brisbane to India in SBS’ new season of the genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?. Yet the veteran journalist, 60, only had to drive a few kilometres in her home town of Sydney to discover a bone-chilling murder trial from her mother Beryl’s side, dating all the way back to the 1800s. Historian Dr Mark Dunn tells Lisa of a drunken and violent night that took place between her three-times-great-grandmother Eliza O’Brien and her husband Edmond Duggan in 1835, which predated the death of their daughter Elizabeth. Via a series of legal…

Ben Fordham’s promotion to 2GB’s money-spinning breakfast show reignited the bitter feud between Ben and shock jock Kyle Sandilands. The controversial KIIS FM star called Ben a “phony” and predicted his appointment would end in “disaster”, claiming radio execs had only given the job to Ben to cut costs rather than on his own merit. It was revealed last week that Alan, 79, will be paid out the remaining $6 million on his contract when he officially retires at the end of this month, with industry insiders “surprised” Ben won the job ahead of Mornings host Ray Hadley. Ray, who is a close friend of Karl’s, was long expected to fill Alan’s shoes, but last week he insisted he was “entirely comfortable” and happy to continue in his current role…

Since beginning her new life in Perth, Tiger – with Nick’s help – has realised her dream of becoming a musician just like Michael. Woman’s Day can reveal she’s released a digital album through music-sharing website Bandcamp, titling her debut record Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown, along with the cover art apparently showing her bare backside. Tiger, who despite being raised in England has a strong Australian accent, describes her whimsical, raw songs as “a little tape recording I made while in Walyalup/Fremantle. It’s many different versions of a few songs and recordings of our big beautiful ocean! Wish I could upload as one long dream but it won’t work.” While the lyrics are mostly hard to decipher, she appears to pay tribute to her late mum and dad by singing…

While he’s found nationwide fame on House Rules, Dave, 36, is no stranger to the spotlight. In 2010 he was a finalist in Cleo’s Bachelor of the Year Award. Favourite Dave was up against some big names including Curtis Stone and Firass Dirani, however, a questionable answer in his “about me” profile raised eyebrows. When asked how his dating ad would read, Dave said, “Male, 26, seeks same-age female for fun, discreet times.”…

MOVIE THE TRIP TO GREECE In their fourth and final gastronomic trip, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s semi-fictional characters travel to modern-day Greece and Turkey in a bid to retrace the steps of legendary king and hero Odysseus, from Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey, and of course eat and comedy-riff their way through the finest restaurants in Europe.

Ben Affleck’s girlfriend Ana de Armas has done nothing to dispel widespread rumours she’s pregnant, after the Cuban actress was photographed going for a stroll last week showing off what appears to be a belly bump. Ben appeared extra attentive to his 32-year-old girlfriend, who he met on the New Orleans set of their movie Deep Water late last year, as they took their dogs for a walk on a sunny Los Angeles day. Days later it was revealed they’d exchanged matching heart pendants – prompting friends to deduce it could be a gift to mark the fact they’re expecting. “Ana desperately wants to be a mum, so everyone predicted she’d talk Ben into getting pregnant, but she might have managed it sooner than we thought,” says a source. “Going…

He came under fire for his controversial claims about a COVID-19 cure, and life has taken yet another downward turn for TV chef and alternative health guru Pete Evans, who has parted ways with Seven, along with his rumoured $800,000 salary. Now there are fresh fears for the 47-year-old, with one of Australia’s top doctors expressing concerns for the star’s mental wellbeing, after the Paleo diet fanatic shared a  string of bizarre coronavirus theories on social media. Dr Harry Nespolon has said Pete should seek medical advice and stressed the importance of him not being alone. So it’s just as well Pete’s former co-star Colin Fassnidge, 45, has assured fans he’ll be “standing by his mate”, despite admitting he doesn’t always agree with the quirky cook. With MKR’s future uncertain,…

It seems reality TV has gotten under Chloe Lattanzi’s skin. The Dancing With The Stars contestant, 34, has told fans she’s about to star in her own reality show… about the Lattanzis!

With Oscar hitting adulthood and exploring the world, sources say Hugh has become even closer with his teenage daughter Ava, who was also  adopted as a baby in 2005. “They’re in lockdown together in New York and it’s making their father-daughter bond even tighter,” says a source. “Hugh has been doing a lot of the home schooling, and Ava has followed in his footsteps and has that dramatic edge to her. They spend hours making up dances and singing together. “Hugh and Deb are making the most of being thrown together in these circumstances with their daughter because like any mum and dad, they know it won’t be long until she becomes independent like Oscar.”…

CATRIONA ROWNTREE Getaway host Catriona has spent the past five years turning her historic but derelict Victorian sheep property into an architectural delight. The estate boasts a six-bedroom cottage, swimming pool and spa, an  old shearing shed and chicken house, which she calls her “mini Versailles”. While a sceptical “farmer’s wife” at first, the mother-of-two, 48, has transformed the quaint farm into a palace, complete with restored fireplaces and ornate European antique furnishings. “I’ve learned to love my life on the farm,” she says. “I’m grateful to live by the seasons and enjoy the space and freedom this life allows us.” The estate has been used in Aussie films such as Ned Kelly and The Dressmaker.

They are nurses and posties, stay-at-home mums and businesswomen, single ladies and grandmothers who share a passion for “wind therapy’’, as they like to call it. This brainchild of a couple of friends has turned into a burgeoning group of motorcycle riders who happen to be female, and ride under the name of the Red Torquettes. And their membership is accelerating faster than their machines – which, by the way, include everything from gleaming monster Harley-Davidsons to more sporty bikes. “It’s the wind in your hair and the adventures you have together. It is just the best,” says Nadine Kellett, 43, one of the founders. “For me, I didn’t want to be an 80-year-old lying in a nursing home wishing I’d done it. I wanted to be an 80-year-old lying…
