I recently did something no one should ever do… I ordered a pair of jeans online. As someone who struggles with online shopping at the best of times – I was banned from returning things to ASOS because I did it so often, but we can’t talk about that because the shame is still too real – I don’t know what I was thinking! By some way of a miracle the jeans actually fit well, but I’m under no illusion – this was likely a one-off. This week, our Fashion Editor Janine has pulled together the ultimate guide to finding the perfect pair of jeans, no matter what your body type (p62). You can be sure I won’t be buying another pair without her handy guide in hand!…

For someone who has repeatedly been described as overly paranoid and protective, being stalked is Prince Harry’s worst nightmare. But it’s alleged that’s exactly what’s been happening to the father-of-one, 35, who has discovered that a private investigator has been snooping into his wife Meghan’s life. Woman’s Day has learned Harry “flew into a rage” when it was recently reported by website Byline Investigates that a UK newspaper had hired a US-based spy, who posed as a journalist,  to access personal information about Meghan in 2016, including her social security number and driver’s licence details. ‘LEAVE MEGHAN ALONE’ At that point, Meghan and Harry had just begun dating, and around the same time he issued an unprecedented, furious statement begging the UK press to “leave his girlfriend alone”. The prince,…

Fans are constantly enthralled by Reynold Poernomo’s whimsical desserts and expert culinary skills, but the 26-year-old cook – who is in a long-distance relationship with Chelia Dinata – almost broke the internet last week over a mystery lovebite! “Reynold has a f ** king hickey on his neck!” one excited fan declared on social media, before a bombardment of tweets appeared with fans agreeing it was hard to miss. “Oh to be a nationally famous dessert king with a hickey on my neck!” joked one. Another added, “I can’t stop staring at Reynold’s iso-hickey!”…

Celebrity news Like so many other brides and grooms-to-be around the globe, Bachelor lovebirds “Matty J” Johnson and Laura Byrne made the heartbreaking decision to postpone their wedding earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet it appears the loved-up reality TV couple couldn’t wait to be husband and wife, rushing to the registry office in order to say “I do” in secret! Matty, 33, appeared to let the cat out of the bag last week in an interview, where he casually referred to Laura, 31, as his wife. Talking about their six-year-old Bull Arab rescue dog, Matty said, “My wife, Laura, fostered Buster before we met. I never had a dog of my own and he’s an adopted family member now.” The pair have done little to quash…

Never one to quite master the art of subtlety, pop superstar Cher hasn’t held back when it comes to dissing her longtime rival, Madonna. In fact, despite both singers enjoying enviable careers and music icon status, the duo have spent the past 30 years slinging mud at each other, and Woman’s Day hears it’s only getting worse! “Cher has always had it in for Madge! She doesn’t mind slagging her off because she’s never taken her seriously,” explains a Tinseltown insider, claiming that despite the Material Girl’s long list of hits, Cher, 74, thinks Madonna is an embarrassment! Meanwhile, the 61-year-old Like A Prayer singer is said to be still letting the ’70s icon get under her skin. “Cher’s still got it and that boils her blood,” says the source.…

With his drug abuse behind him, Ronnie is happy to not only be sober, but a doting dad to twin girls! The guitarist and his wife Sally, 42, welcomed Gracie Jane and Alice Rose in 2016. “Any time I’m with her and the girls, that’s the best for me, nothing tops it,” says the rocker, who has six kids from three marriages. Ronnie and Sally married in 2012 after dating for six months and have never looked back! “When the twins come into our bed and we’re all snuggled up together, that, for me, is wonderful – my idea of heaven,” he says.…

If, like me, you’ve been having one too many coffees (or red wines) while at home, your stained teeth might be a dead giveaway. A professional teeth whitening treatment might be out of reach right now, but a little helping hand from this new whitening pen is effective and certainly won’t break the bank. The formula contains three per cent hydrogen peroxide which, when applied every night for just two weeks, will whiten your teeth up to three shades.…

Much has been made of how the palace is haemorrhaging money since the coronavirus crisis forced them to shut the doors of their main residences to tourists, usually open to the public in summer. Now, despite the fact the UK still remains in the grips of the pandemic, it was reported in the press last week that royal beancounters are pushing the royals to “open for business”. It’s been revealed that Windsor Castle – where the Queen, 94, and Prince Philip, 99, are isolating – the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Royal Mews and some galleries will be back up and running by the end of the month, despite the risk to working royals and their staff. “The Queen is at a loss over what to do. She’s staring down the…

As a MasterChef contestant himself, Andy Allen has always had the backing of his former cooking show comrades. But in a shocking twist, the new judge, 32, has come under fire from eliminated star Chris Badenoch, 52, who hasn’t held back from making his true thoughts about the 2012 season winner known. The seventh cook to be eliminated this year, Chris called into question Andy’s ability as a judge and slammed him for being nonsensical in his critiques. “He’s commented on things I’ve cooked and when he’s walked away it’s like, ‘I have no idea what he said or what he meant.’ You almost need subtitles. I don’t get it!” Chris compared the recently engaged restaurant owner to US President Donald Trump. “It’s incredibly frustrating. Jock [Zonfrillo] or Melissa [Leong]…

Keith Urban was never jealous of Tom Cruise, but Nicole Kidman’s former fiance Lenny Kravitz is a whole different ball game. The American sex god rocker, 56, has just announced he will release his memoir in October and poor Keith’s world has turned upside down knowing the book will spill every juicy detail of his mysterious engagement to Nicole in 2003. “This is Keith’s worst nightmare,” says an insider. “Nicole has always been coy about her relationship with Lenny, but Keith has never liked the smug smirk that appears every time his name comes up. It’s no secret Lenny was the guy after her marriage to Tom – and they had an incredibly passionate sexy relationship. He was her landlord when they started dating in 2002 – that’s how sexy…

Season nine of The Voice has proven to be the most controversial ever! With cheating scandals, feuding coaches, disgruntled contestants and a pandemic threatening to undermine the show, Woman’s Day now hears whispers it could be dramatically overhauled – or even be put to rest for good. “It is very costly to produce, and a lot goes into bringing it to life,” one TV insider explains. “There’s a lot riding on it to be successful and to rate. Things need to change if they want to keep people tuning in.” CONTESTANTS HIT BACK With the ratings slipping below Ten’s MasterChef this year, the show has come under fire for its “manufactured drama”. Last week, 2017 winner Judah Kelly issued a dire warning to this year’s contestants. “People aren’t really fans…

For more than a year, Ghislaine Maxwell has been the most wanted woman in the world. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, the 58-year-old Oxford-educated daughter of disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell was arrested when the FBI swarmed the rural New Hampshire property she’d recently bought for $1.4 million in cash. Ghislaine was cuffed while wearing trackies and “barely registering” what had happened. BLACK BOOK As Woman’s Day went to press, she was incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, waiting to appear in front of a judge in relation to alleged sex crimes, conspiracy and perjury involving her one-time boyfriend and dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Ghislaine is accused of grooming underage girls – who were mostly forced to masquerade as masseuses – for Epstein and his…

As the latest crop of beautiful Bachelor rejects descend onto our screens, you’d be forgiven for thinking that they’re all focused on taking another shot at true love. And while the cast certainly take plenty of shots, a source tells Woman’s Day it wasn’t necessarily at finding romance. “Everyone just hooked up with everyone,” the source says of the cast’s time on the sandy beaches of Fiji. “Compared to previous seasons, it’s pretty wild.” The source adds that while the genetically blessed cast all loved being in each other’s company, “there was no strong desire to create any meaningful connections”. While trailers for the upcoming show – which filmed last year and has been delayed several times due to the pandemic – have teased love stories and even a proposal,…

Angelina Jolie hasn’t quite finished with her ex Brad Pitt as sources reveal the actress is doing her best to lure him back to her – out of revenge and to hurt Jennifer Aniston. The 45-year-old mum-of-six has been tugging at Brad’s heartstrings throughout every face-to-face meeting they have, and friends say it’s “totally messing with his mind”. The 56-year-old actor was spotted leaving Angelina’s mansion in what friends say was another case of her “snapping her fingers and him jumping to her needs”. Sources say while she has no intention of ever getting back with him, she wants to prove she can steal him from Jen, 51, a second time. “She’s done it before and she thinks she can do it again,” says an insider. “And she might be…

CHAMAYA, 11, called Triple Zero when her mother started to choke on a bone while they were eating dinner, calmly listening to the call-taker’s instructions and monitoring her mum’s breathing until an ambulance arrived to help. DANAE, 16, remained calm and started to treat her mum’s head and leg wounds after she fell off their second-floor balcony. She called Triple Zero and followed instructions until paramedics arrived at the scene. KADE, 12, showed maturity beyond his years when he called Triple Zero after his dad crashed his motorbike into a tree, calmly relaying his longitude and latitude to the call-taker to pinpoint their location and caring for his dad until help arrived.…

Overall, there are two important things to remember this week. The first is that we’re now out of the eclipse season – they’re over for another six months. As you might have noticed, the past few weeks have been pretty crazy. That was due to the fact we had not one, not two but three eclipses in a row, followed by yet more planetary intensity. Having this kind of intense energy would be a lot at any time but following hot on the heels of social isolation, it was a bit like letting the genie out of the bottle. The good news is that we’re now out on the other side. The question is: what are we left with? If you’ve decided in the past few weeks and months your…

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are keen to cement their roles within the monarchy and are pulling out all the stops to impress their Uncle Charles amid fears they could be cut. Charles is not a huge fan of “hangers-on”, and sources tell Woman’s Day Bea, 31, and Eugenie, 30, are innocent pawns in the heir’s dislike for his embattled brother Prince Andrew, 60. “They’re not required to do any official engagements – which is why they don’t get much funding – but they’re showing Charles how good they could be as full-time working royals by publishing lovely Zooms of themselves talking to sick children in hospital.”…

GRANT DENYER MOVING ON FOR GOOD When Ten announced Grant Denyer would be making a return to Family Feud for a 10-episode special later this year, it was supposed to mark his relaunch on the small screen. But despite landing himself the job, the father-of-two, 42, has fuelled rumours he’s about to throw in the towel after a tough few years. “I’m lucky to have a wonderful career in TV,” he wrote on Instagram. “But I’ve also been super hungry to learn a completely different skill,” he continued, telling his 158,000 followers he’s training to become a pilot. “It’s bloody rewarding hitting the books and learning a completely different craft... and it’s also just so damn dreamy playing above the clouds,” he continued. Despite earning himself a TV WEEK Gold…

Despite big ambitions, behind the scenes, the contestants aren’t living like rock stars! Speaking to Woman’s Day, one contestant reveals they were shocked to find out they’re not paid for their time on the show. “We’re given very little to cover expenses and that’s just about it,” says the source, who insists most performers were stunned to find out they would be off work and out of school for months. “Some missed two terms of school and others had to beg for time off work.” And while a five-star suite at the QT Bondi is usually reserved for Kelly, and a $27,000-a-month Centennial Park mansion awaits Boy George, 59, the contestants are staying at a chain hotel in Sydney’s outer west! The interstate performers have been living at Rydges Campbelltown,…

As Ghislaine’s shocking arrest puts more pressure on Buckingham Palace, Nigel Cawthorne, author of Prince Andrew, Epstein And The Palace, tells Woman’s Day Andrew only has two options. Nigel believes Ghislaine will be offered a plea bargain to spill all the secrets she knows, and while it has been said that, if she does have any information for authorities, she’d never rat out her dear friend Andrew, she will “spend a long time thinking about it”. “A lot of people have said she only cares about herself, and I think if you’re facing 35 years in jail – she’s 58 already – she’s going to be in her 90s when she comes out,” he says. Nigel believes the Duke of York now has two choices. “He can either get on…

Being alive and well at 73 is an achievement in itself for The Rolling Stones’ famed bass guitarist Ronnie Wood. The rock legend was once so addicted to drugs and alcohol that his fellow band member Keith Richards allegedly held a gun to his head in a bid to make him stop using, with his stints in rehab and battles with substance abuse even threatening to overshadow his brilliant career. ‘NORMAL’ DRUG LIFE And now one of the star’s six children, Jamie Wood, 45, has laid bare the shocking reality of being raised by a member of one of the world’s most outrageous and popular rock bands. Jamie, who Ronnie shares with his second wife, model Jo Wood, confessed last month that growing up the son of a Stone saw…

Niki Lea Williams doesn’t remember the details of the horrific car crash that changed her life forever when she was just 19 years old. But from what she’s been told, she’s incredibly lucky to have even survived it. After being trapped in a car for more than two hours as emergency workers tried desperately to free her from the wreckage, Niki Lea endured 11 hours of surgery and came out of the experience with two broken femurs, a fractured temple bone and a below-knee amputation of her right leg. “I know a lot of this because I had paramedics come and visit me in hospital afterwards, saying, ‘Wow, you should not have got out of that car,’” she says. Niki Lea, who hails from Newcastle, NSW, began the healing process…

It may have been a while since you picked up your trusty foundation or mascara, so here are a few refreshers on what to apply (and where!) so you can re-enter the world like a new woman. STEP #1 Roll out of bed and awaken your skin with a face mask. Pop this on five minutes before you jump into the shower. Turn up your fave playlist, sing along then rinse. My go-to is this one from Frank Body. STEP #2 I love using an essence-in-lotion to instantly hydrate the face and give it that well-deserved massage to dispel puffiness. I challenge you to massage your face for five minutes every morning! You can do it with your hands (no fancy tools needed!). Simply run your knuckles along your jawbone…

BOOTCUT This is Jen’s go-to style when it comes to showing off shapely limbs. Great for accommodating ankle boots. Best for... ADDING BALANCE This cut runs slim through the hips and thighs to the knee, then flares towards the hem. Wider hems can help to balance larger hips, making these good for a variety of figures. Wear long and add heels to elongate. Best for... COVERING UP This slouchy style offers more room from thighs to ankles. Adds curves to straighter figures and also flatters pear-shaped bodies.
