Poor Sir Karl Jenkins, whose magnificent moustache led him to be the centrepiece of a string of conspiracy theories, including one that he was the Duchess of Sussex in disguise! The 79-year-old Welsh composer fell foul of social media when he featured in a hilarious meme suggesting he was Meghan in a wig! “Karl thinks it’s funny as Meghan wasn’t the only one he was facially analysed against,” says a friend. “Some thought he was the late Queen reincarnated and he went viral as a possible Donald Trump too. He can’t believe after all his achievements, he’s finally made it as a meme.” Meanwhile, Meghan, 41, did her best to dispel rumours by heading out for a hike in Los Angeles on Sunday morning.…

Katy Perry went viral for all the wrong reasons after a near-fall outside Westminster Abbey and then wandering aimlessly around looking for her seat. And while no one seemed to mind as the star looked absolutely gorgeous in Vivienne Westwood, she finally found her spot when an aide came to her help. “Katy couldn’t believe she nearly fell over at the coronation,” says a friend. “She said that’s not how she wants to go down in history. She’s very grateful no one got to see her underpants and was able to laugh about it later.” After the ceremony, Katy, 38, joked to her worried Twitter fans, “Don’t worry, guys. I found my seat!”…

Hips Don’t Lie singer Shakira and actor Tom Cruise have set tongues wagging after they were spotted cosying up together at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami. An onlooker spills that the Top Gun hunk, 60, and Colombian music superstar, 46, “were flirting up a storm – and it was nothing short of electric”. Our spy adds, “You could tell he was completely smitten and she was lapping up every moment of it. There’s definitely something going on between them.” An insider adds, “They’ve known each other for years, but this is the first time they’ve both been single and you can tell there’s some serious chemistry in the air.” Shakira split from her partner of 11 years, soccer star Gerard Pique, last year, while Tom was recently…

Celebrity news Step aside, Brangelina! Hollywood is bracing itself for the next big split after Kevin Costner was “blindsided” by divorce papers from his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, earlier this month. The 68-year-old actor’s reps said in an announcement on 3 May, “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.” RUMOURS ABOUND Last week, Christine, 49, was spotted out with daughter Grace, 12, buying balloons for her son Cayden’s 16th birthday in Montecito. The mum-of-three, who is seeking joint custody of their children, including 14-year-old son Hayes, has cited “irreconcilable differences” in the divorce papers. However, that hasn’t stopped an onslaught of rumours, forcing Kevin to deny he had…

HealthBe well with Woman's Day YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU Whether your aim is to shed a few kilos or to just feel fitter, it’s never too late to set goals. However, what seemed easy in our thirties can become more challenging after a few extra years have gone by. If the same tried-and-tested routine you used to swear by isn’t cutting it any more, personal trainer and busy mum Tiffiny Hall says it could be because of normal metabolic changes that come with getting older. “You can try a keto diet in your twenties and have amazing results, and then you can try keto again when you’re 45 and find it isn’t working,” she explains. “It’s just because your metabolism is slower.” However, that doesn’t mean…

Psychics Surrounded by her friends AMANDA SAYS Thunda tells me she is the only lizard left alive as Deirdre’s other three bearded dragons have now passed, although there are still a few other reptiles in the house. I get told there are two sheep who both passed suddenly at different times, then a horse comes through from a very long time ago. The horse was not owned by Deirdre, but she learned to ride on him and he was an palomino ex- racehorse called Beau. A dog called Angel also comes through and tells me she is still living, but she did a very silly thing and got hit by a car, severely injuring her leg. Angel sincerely apologises to Deirdre for being so careless and tells me she has…

Cover story The Princess of Wales is fast becoming the royal family’s secret weapon and nowhere was this more evident than at King Charles III’s emotional coronation at Westminster Abbey. When the monarch’s Diamond Jubilee State Coach arrived at the cathedral ahead of schedule, forcing the 74-year-old and Queen Camilla, 75, to wait in the vehicle for Prince William and Catherine, a stressed-out Charles was seen grumbling, “We can never be on time,” and, “There’s always something!” However, the delay was entirely intentional as it meant the Waleses would avoid running into Prince Harry, 38, making the day less stressful for everyone and reducing the amount of awkward family photos. “Kate truly has become The Firm’s greatest asset,” spills a palace insider. “Even after their minor hold-up on the way…

No one can throw shade like the royal family. After the Duchess of Sussex’s face was blocked from TV cameras by a candlestick at the Queen’s funeral, Harry found himself outshone by a remarkably large feather festooned on the Princess Royal’s hat. The millinery masterpiece perfectly hid Harry’s face from the cameras as the King walked by. “It was nothing short of glorious for Sussex critics and yet another perfectly executed example of an Iceland-style freeze,” says an insider. “Nothing to say and nothing to prove, but everything revealed. Genius!”…

In news nobody saw coming, Robert De Niro has revealed he’s added to his brood. The 79-year-old confirmed the arrival of his seventh child while promoting his new film About My Father. “I just had a baby,” Robert announced. “It’s an amazing feeling, you know? It’s like starting all over again. But that’s all I can say. I don’t want to give too much away.” Last week, martial arts instructor Tiffany Chen, the 40-something mother of the Taxi Driver star’s new baby, was seen cradling their infant – believed to be a girl – as she took a stroll around New York. Robert has long been tight-lipped about his personal life, although he is known to already have six children – his eldest being 51-year-old daughter Drena and the youngest…

Celebrity news Gwyneth Paltrow is more famous for her startling confessions than her acting career these days – and recently she suffered a severe case of foot-in-mouth, which has upset Jennifer Lopez! The Oscar-winning actress, 50, went a little too far on the podcast Call Her Daddy, spilling the beans on her bedroom life with her famous exes, including Ben Affleck, who she dated for three years before he met and fell in love with J.Lo for the first time. Comparing ex-boyfriends Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt, Gwyneth gushed about their bedroom prowess. “Brad was like the sort of major-chemistry, love-of-your-life kind and then Ben was, like, technically excellent,” she said, adding that they were both “good kissers”. ‘This new interview feels like a step too far for J.Lo’ Sources…

As far as brow trends go, near-perfect arches are (thankfully!) no longer the goal. Right now, it’s more about nurturing, maintaining and, if you want to, enhancing your brow shape, using product rather than trying to completely change the shape. Easy does it If you don’t trust yourself, and think you’ll butcher your arches by plucking and trimming them, you can put it off entirely by using brow makeup to boost your natural shape. To make thin brows look fuller, shade them throughout with tinted brow gel. Most brow hair is naturally ashy, so tinted products help you even the hair into a single tone, making your brows look more defined. To simply streamline brows without tinting them, brush them through with clear brow gel or even face oil. You…

Veal with caper wine sauce Time to put your culinary skills to the test! SERVES 4 Batten out 800g of veal escalopes between cling film to 0.5cm thickness. Cut into pieces similar in size to prosciutto slices. Lay each piece on a slice of prosciutto (8 slices in total), season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then place 2 sage leaves in the centre. Fold in sides to enclose, making a parcel. Batten again lightly to seal. Coat in ½ cup plain flour, pressing with your hand to flatten slightly. Heat 50g butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Add veal and cook for 3-4 mins on each side over high heat until golden and cooked but still pink in the centre. Remove…

Taurus 21 APRIL – 21 MAY As Jupiter sweeps into your sign, your confidence should soar, so cast those doubts aside. Saturday’s new moon might propel you into a whole new era, while on the singles scene, a thoughtful gesture might leave you swooning. STAR TIP A friend’s words could trigger a big decision, so organise a few catch-ups. TINA FEY In the wise words of this actress, who turns 53 on 18 May, there’s no such thing as too much cake! Gemini MAY 22 – JUN 21 Your words of wisdom could change lives, so trust your instincts and speak up. A charitable cause might even reel you in, but with so much happening beneath the surface, be wary of secret romances – temptation, especially at work, could lead…

1 I’m very good at sleeping on set. Acushla-Tara Kupe, my co-star in The Gone, has many, many photos to prove it. 2 When I need a pick-me-up, I listen to Jump Around by House of Pain or Bonkers by Dizzee Rascal – that was a favourite in The Gone makeup trailer. 3 My perfect evening is two vodka martinis, a great dinner and a dark jazz bar. 4 I can’t walk past the Ermenegildo Zegna shop in Rome without popping in to buy something. 5 My dream Sunday would include a long, lazy lunch with friends and family. Do not ask me to do anything of importance on a Sunday! 6 My comfort food is tagliatelle Bolognese, steak tartare or gnocchi fritti. 7 The best thing my parents taught…

Help me, Obi-Wan! BILLIE LOURD The late Carrie Fisher’s daughter paid homage to the Star Wars veteran as she unveiled her famous mother’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. May the fierce be with you! Fur the love of fashion RIHANNA Never one to play it safe, the We Found Love popstar opted for a very fluffy number as she dined out in LA. Can she actually see through those Chanel glasses, though?! ONLY HEIR FOR THE BEER! PRINCE WILLIAM After walking around in those heavy, stuffy robes for hours during the coronation, we’d want a nice cold can of beer too! But something tells us he took one look at this ale and gave it right back... Hot & cold! DAVID BECKHAM The famed footballer’s wife Victoria posted…

BIG DAY FOR A LITTLE PRINCE It’s tough work being fourth in line to the throne! It looked like Louis could do with a nap...…

Royal newsCORONATION CHAOS Prince Harry’s excitement at returning to his home in Montecito for his son Archie’s fourth birthday just hours after his father’s coronation ceremony on 6 May has been short-lived, with friends saying “a sense of gloom” has descended upon the Sussex household. After witnessing the emotional coronation of King Charles III, the prince has reportedly been plagued with pages and pages of triumphant post-coronation coverage – the parties, the speeches, the family dinners and photos of his father and brother. And his inner circle says Harry isn’t just suffering from post-coronation blues. “He’s really struggling with this,” says a close friend. “He’s been stewing for days now on what he missed out on and as lovely as it was to tuck a half-asleep Archie in that night,…

Prince Louis was caught yawning, but Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall went one step further and caught 40 winks during the ceremony in Westminster Abbey! The mother-of-three’s eyes glazed over and then shut completely, before she was jerked back to life when her cousin Princess Eugenie turned to talk to her! According to royal onlookers, the 41-year-old had a little too much fun at a pre-coronation party, staying out until 2am with her husband Mike, 44. The couple partied with her mother and her uncles, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew, at private member’s club Oswald’s before carrying on at London’s Arts Club.…

William’s heartfelt tribute to his “Pa” is being hailed as one of the standout moments of the King’s Coronation Concert, but it didn’t go unnoticed that the prince failed to mention his stepmother, the new Queen Camilla. Earlier reports coming out of the palace suggested the prince would mention both Charles and Camilla in his speech, but sources revealed a last-minute change was made, snubbing the Queen. Royal reporter Jennie Bond addressed the controversy on British chat show Lorraine. The respected author said, “I was thinking, ‘Is he going to mention Camilla?’ But I think probably William felt that this day – the whole weekend, really – is about his father and he wanted the focus to be on that.”…

HOT OFF THE PRESS Taylor Swift has wasted no time in moving on from ex Joe Alwyn, with reports the Shake It Off songbird is already “madly in love” with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy. Rumours first began after Taylor, 33, appeared to mouth “I love you” to her new man from the stage at a recent concert in Nashville, where Matty, 35, was spotted singing along to her music alongside her best friend Gigi Hadid. “She and Matty are head over heels for each other,” a source close to Taylor claims. “It’s super-early days, but it feels right. They first dated very briefly almost 10 years ago, but timings just didn’t work out.” Although Taylor and Joe were known for keeping their relationship extremely private, it seems the pop…

She’s still recovering from the shock divorce from her husband of more than a decade, Jim Toth, however, it appears Reese Witherspoon, 47, has found solace in her best friend, Nicole Kidman, 55. The Hollywood heavyweights were spotted walking through the streets of Nashville – where they both live – deep in conversation. “Nicole has been desperate to spend time with Reese because she’s been worried about her and wants to be there to support her,” says a mutual mate. “Their busy schedules often mean they’re not in Nashville at the same time, so she knows how special things like a simple walk together can be.”…

After a decade of methamphetamine addiction, homelessness and arrests for gang-related robberies, Hayley Schofer finally gave up drugs at age 28. Detoxing after daily drug usage was a difficult feat for the Wellington makeup artist, however, what came next was even harder. After a lifetime of self-hatred and keeping secrets, Hayley lost family and friends when she finally came out as transgender in 2019. But she also found herself. “I was around six when I realised something wasn’t quite right because I wanted to wear my sister’s things, including her ballet shoes, but I didn’t want anyone knowing, so I hid it,” tells Hayley, 35, who grew up in Hawke’s Bay. “I felt enclosed in my mind and trapped. I was quite shy.” Hayley, whose given name was Hayden, played…

Gardening Now that it’s May, this closing month of autumn is the final hurrah of foliage colour before deciduous trees and shrubs drop the last of their leaves. As they do, they’ll reveal their intricate framework of branches, transforming into wonderful filigree silhouettes. It’s still a lovely time to be out working in the garden, and a great month for selecting and planting a range of flowering shrubs and trees. It’s also your last opportunity of the season to get spring-flowering bulbs into the ground or in pots. ORDER BARE-ROOTED TREES At this time of year, many nurseries release their availability and pre-order lists for bare-rooted or “bagged” trees. These are trees that are dug up during the cool seasons and, as they are dormant, they can be transported without…

The LOW DOWN Baywatch icon Pamela Anderson looked sensational posing for pictures in Malibu to promote her sizzling new swimwear collection. The Canadian actress, 55, told reporters, “I’ve been in a bathing suit most of my life. Based on some of my all-time favourites and treasured archives, I created my dream collection.” Unsurprisingly, she has included a red, high-cut one-piece reminiscent of her Baywatch character CJ Parker’s famous costume, revealing she kept one of the show’s original swimsuits to try on every now and then. “I had a couple back then. Now I only have one and it fits. I put it on once in a while.” The vegan mum-of-two, who recently released her memoir Love, Pamela, puts her ageless good looks down to plenty of moisturiser. “I keep mine…
