Woman’s Day is Australia’s number one-selling weekly women’s magazine, offering all the latest celebrity gossip and exclusive interviews as well as fascinating real-life reads, mouth-watering recipes, beauty, fashion, food, health and family advice.
Some days it really is a tough gig being the editor of this magazine. Our morning meetings are filled with photos of Bachelor Richie Strahan at the moment (I know, it’s horrible!) reigniting our love for everyone’s favourite “ropes technician” (I’m still not sure what that is) and the show. See page 10 for a selection of shots of Richie and his new girls – they’re guaranteed to whet your appetite, too! Speaking of hunger, there’s another part of my job that’s really challenging – tasting the test-kitchen food, especially at Easter when I’m expected to test things like Ferrero Rocher rocky road (p60) and triple choc cake with oozy sauce (p58). I mean, it’s just such a pain! Seriously though, I pinch myself every day that I call what…
Candace Cameron OR Maggie Grace The deck is already stacked against buxom Fuller House hottie Candace in this frivolous Jonathan Simkhai macrame and mesh get-up. Maggie seems to have taken the same bad advice from an over-eager stylist, but manages to avoid looking too packed in. Maybe Candace should consult the fashionista Olsen twins next time! Claire Danes OR Elizabeth McGovern I declare, Lady Grantham, you are quite the tall drink of water in your Dior modern-midi! While Danes and her mane can’t help but look great, the 54-year-old Downton Abbey star adds a bit of right royal class and sass to the ensemble with her whimsically sequinned clutch and chic little side-swept bob. Suede stilettos seal the deal. Lady Gaga OR Gwen Stefani Snappier than a fresh stick of…
‘They have always lived their lives with honesty – and in the spotlight’ As a beaming Patti Newton cradles her tiny new grandson in her arms, the entertainment industry legend has plenty to smile about. She’s filled with love and brimming with happiness, not just about the arrival of her daughter Lauren’s little boy Monty Matthew Newton Welsh, but also because her dreams for her son, Matthew, have finally come true. Her “golden boy” appears to have put his demons to rest, with Patti now boasting about his accolades in the US for a film he co-wrote and directed. “I’ve never seen Bert and Patti this happy,” our source reveals. “They recently welcomed another grandchild into the family and I know they feel like they have their son back again.…
It’s still months before Richie Strahan’s journey to find love unfolds on our TV screens – but Bachie fever has already started, as filming for season four has begun! In fact, the man himself was snapped with some of the fab ladies hoping to win him over just last week. Revealing his impressive rig in a pair of ’50s-style shorts, Richie was in his element surrounded by a bevy of beautiful blondes, including Playboy model Kirralee “Kiki” Morris. “I pretty much walk around the house nude,” reveals the confident 28-year-old, who rocked a sultry leopard print full-piece while posing alongside two other stunning women vying for the rope technician’s heart. But another blonde beauty really caught hunky Richie’s eye. Strolling the beach hand-in-hand after arriving by private helicopter, the pair…
‘I had always really loved men, and still do’ Their relationship has been plagued by divorce rumours. Now – seven years after saying “I do” – friends say Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are calling time on their marriage. “Ellen and Portia have been squabbling and drifting apart for some time” one told The National Enquirer. “This is the end.” Those close to the couple say talk show host Ellen, 58, has always been controlling. “Ellen never wanted Portia to work as much as she does,” another friend explains. While the actress’s schedule has reportedly caused friction, insiders say Portia’s relationship with Scandal co-star Matthew Del Negro, 43, has fuelled tensions. In 2010 the former Ally McBeal star, also 43, revealed she still has affections for men. “I had…
‘Without the surgery I would have been dead in three days’ I help women get fit After staring death in the face, cervical cancer survivor Terri Batsakis’s life now revolves around keeping herself and other women active through her job as a personal trainer. She first discovered she had cancer in 2002, when she had a tumour the size of a tennis ball removed from her right ovary. “After removing that first tumour, the surgeon told me had he not operated on the Friday, by Monday I would have been dead,” says Terri. But the following year the cancer was back. She underwent laser treatment to remove cysts and cancerous cells from her cervix, and in 2004 and 2006 she had more cysts and tumours removed. “Because the doctors kept…
