When I say my three-year-old son Archie is not a people person, by that I mean he greets anyone new with a high-pitched squeal and an “I don’t like him” (particularly awkward when it’s a female). His grandma called him “solemn” for the first 12 months of his life as he refused to crack a smile. And if anyone dare tell him they like his glasses… well, I just wouldn’t recommend it. But just like Prince George at his sister Charlotte’s christening last week, somehow grumpy can be utterly adorable (p6). The definition of cute, with his chubby cheeks and determined pout, charming George stole the show with his many faces of “totally unimpressed” while melting hearts around the world with his cute factor! I’m sure the Duchess of Cambridge,…

Drinking to excess The brothers have a “five drink rule”. Trashing houses The larrikin duo know how to party hard. Bikini babes Dishing out shots to ladies in Melbourne. With a dance floor heaving to the beats and yellow blow-up kangaroos bouncing over the scantily clad party girls and bleary-eyed young men, Hollywood’s club XIV was going off last week. Delta Goodrem was there for the show. It was promoted as a July 4 Independence Day party, and hot Aussie DJ duo Chris and Matt Stafford were spinning tunes and pouring Jagermeister shots for the crowd of partying wannabes. Dressed in a pretty purple top, Australia’s sweetheart Delta, 30, took in the view from a VIP balcony overlooking the action, as Chris revved the crowd into a frenzy. She didn’t…

When Harry Met Sally actress Meg Ryan, 53, was looking noticeably different at a fashion show in Paris last week – so much so, we’re not sure Harry would recognise Sally at all these days! The once fresh-faced star reignited speculation about her plastic surgery endeavours when she appeared with chiselled cheekbones, a wrinkle-free complexion and plump-looking lips accentuated by shiny lipstick. Critics have previously lashed out at Meg’s drastically altered looks and compared her to British actress Leslie Ash, who is known for her joker-like smile and line-free appearance.…

FOREHEAD “Nicole’s line-free forehead can most likely be attributed to Botox,” says Dr Rowe. EYELIDS Always fresh and alert, Nicole is believed to have had “both upper and lower eye lifts”. LIPS Dr Rowe believes “Nic’s “full, plump lips could be the result of fillers,” such as hyaluronic acid. BROW According to Dr Rowe, Nicole may have undergone “a brow lift to stop the natural sloping with age”. CHEEKS Nicole’s chiselled cheekbones could be the result of fat grafting. “It involves injecting her own fat into her cheeks to keep them perky and give them fullness.” NECK It’s not only Nicole’s face that seems to be in incredibly good condition. “She may have had a neck lift, too,” says Dr Rowe. It’s been decades since she got her big acting…

The world is fast becoming more connected. And with Australian households typically using around seven internet devices, all demanding data, the families that learn to share will quickly find themselves ahead. It’s the only plan in Australia that lets you create a pool of talk, TXT, data, and international minutes, then share it with up to nine other devices. Share the love – with less wastage So if you like to chat, but rarely get through your monthly data, why let it go to waste? All that untouched data can be put to good use by another family member to watch movies, surf the web and more. After all, you’ve paid for it, you might as well share it. Share everything* Vodafone Shared lets you share everything – not just…

Katherine Taylor has to allow three hours for a family outing to the supermarket, because her toddler Lauren can’t pass a stranger without saying hello! A bizarre side effect of the UK three-year-old’s Williams syndrome – a one in 20,000 developmental disorder – is that she has no fear of anyone. “It’s nice to know we’ll never have to worry about her being shy – but it takes forever to get anywhere because Lauren wants to speak to everyone!” explains Katherine, 37. “People always say hello back. They say she looks like a little doll.” Growing delays The rare condition has also left the youngster with development delays – she’s estimated to be a year behind her peers. But her proud parents say she has enriched their lives in ways…

1 What’s the difference between a cold and the flu? A Flu comes on quickly while colds tend to develop over a couple of days B Colds start with sniffles but flu often triggers a scratchy throat, stuffy nose and fever C Both of the above ANSWER C Both of the above.

I treat sick and injured animals all the time in my job. While it can be heartbreaking, I’d much rather have the knowledge to be able to help out than stand back and feel useless. With a simple knowledge of pet first aid, you, too, can make a difference. FIRST STEPS If you find an injured dog or cat, try to keep calm – they’ll pick up on your stress very quickly. Remove them from danger (cars, aggressive animals, heat) without endangering yourself. Next, check for vital signs (Are they breathing? Do they have a pulse?) Shock is a big killer of injured animals, so use a blanket, a towel or clothing to keep them warm, but don’t offer fluid or food. Roll them onto a towel or sheet…

It was the “most difficult” question Ricky Martin has ever had to answer, but one he knew was coming his way. So when one of his 6-year-old twin boys, Matteo, asked him recently if they were born from his “belly , he had the perfect answer prepared. “I told him, ‘You were in my heart and you are still in my heart,’” says Ricky. “So I explained further because I couldn’t just leave it at that. ‘There was a woman I adore with all my heart who helped me bring you into this world. She lent me her belly so you could come, and when you were born she put you in my arms’ And he said, ‘Ah, OK’ and he kept playing.” The woman Ricky is referring to is…

It was Independence Day in the US, but Billy Joel was more than happy to give his independence away when he wed girlfriend Alexis Roderick in a surprise ceremony. The nuptials even came as a shock to the Piano Man’s nearest and dearest, who thought they’d been invited to his Long Island Estate in New York to celebrate the American holiday. But even more shocked was Billy’s ex-wife Christie Brinkley. Shortly after the new couple said their “I dos , Christie took to her Instagram account to make what many believed to be a slight at the newlywed pair. “Congratulations to the glowing bride and groom” Christie wrote. “And to my daughter Alexa, who has a wonderful friend in Alexis!” It was said to be a dig at the fact…

The private couple have taken to social media to share loved-up pictures in recent weeks to mark their ninth wedding anniversary, Keith taking every opportunity to gush about his stunner wife. “We’re just grateful we found each other,” he told his fellow co-hosts for the day. “Wherever Nic…

When her beloved dachshund Mr Waddles was struck by a debilitating spinal injury, Lisa-Jayne Cameron knew euthanasia wasn’t an option. But nor did she have $15,000 to pay for surgery.

Q I’m concerned about my grandchildren – will they be OK in the future? My granddaughter had knee surgery. Will she still be able to go through school and on to university?

AMANDA SAYS “Hurley tells me he’s about three-and-a-half years old and that he has been with Erin since he was a puppy. He says Erin was not planning on getting him at first.

He loves his walks, but is always on guard. I tell him to relax and not be afraid of anything. Two cats that have passed over come through with Erin’s nanna,…
