Woman's Day August 31, 2015

When I say my three-year-old Archie is Wiggles-obsessed, I mean he actually won’t respond to his own name some days, only to “Murray”. To any parent of the 1990s, Murray was the original (and Archie’s all-time favourite) Red Wiggle (sorry, Simon!). We’re so into the Wiggles my car is known as The BRC (Big Red Car), and if I don’t weave at least one Wiggle into Archie’s night-time story, I have to start again! Personally, I’ve always been a fan of former Purple Wiggle Jeff (I like that he sleeps a lot, a long-held dream of mine), but it’s no secret that most mums are particularly keen on Blue, Anthony. So this week, for the first time in Wiggly history, on p14 we uncover what’s been hiding under Anthony’s famous…

3/10 AMY ADAMS When Amy takes a tumble, at least she goes down in a blaze of glory! While attempting that “sexy ’70s” vibe, she comes across as just plain sexless. Boxy blazer and too-long bell-bottoms turn her tiny torso into a bit of a red lump. Her fash motto could be, “Go big or go home.” Honey, go home. 7/10 LISA WILKINSON Why say it with a whisper when bold can be so beautiful! Exploding into the David Jones fashion parade, the effervescent TV presenter lit up the room in a nearly neon pink tux from Parisian label Pallas. And the tantalising tie? Cleverly snatched from her hubby’s side of the closet! 6/10 GIGI HADID With her blonde mane pulled into a sassy topknot, Gigi grabs the spotlight with…

They came from very different worlds, but when David Beckham met Victoria Adams at a charity football game, their romance was spectacular. He was arguably the world’s most famous soccer player, and she a world-renowned pop star known as Posh Spice. Together, they made the perfect couple. The much-loved British celebs, who soon became known as “Posh and Becks” were engaged in January 1998 and wed in July 1999, with their son Brooklyn, then just four months old, acting as ring bearer. Today they have created an empire as well as a picture-perfect family: handsome sons Brooklyn, now 16, Romeo, 12, and Cruz, 10, and their little girl Harper, 4, the daughter they’d long wished for. In the 16 years since they said “I do”, David and Victoria have hardly…

Wiggly fans around the world know him as the finger-pointing, hip-shaking, slightly pudgy Blue Wiggle who loves to dance, sing and eat. But after losing 18kg Anthony Field says he has never looked or felt better, and he credits his children, Lucia, 11, Maria, 10, and eight-year-old Antonio with inspiring him to achieve the best body he’s ever had – at 52. When his wife Michaela Patisteas had Lucia in April 2004, Anthony weighed 101kg and was seriously out of shape. “We’d just come home from hospital and I didn’t have the strength to hold her,” he reveals. “I couldn’t even lift up my baby without needing to sit down.” He knew he had to make a drastic change. Exercise like a big kid That same week he overhauled his…

Since scoring the coveted white rose in week one, filmmaker Heather has been one of Sam’s faves in the Bachelor mansion – even he admits “there was an instant connection . But in a new twist, it seems the feeling is far from mutual, with Heather telling friends at Joel Edgerton’s exclusive Bondi party last weekend that her time on the show was a big mistake! “I would never do it again in my life,” she declared. “I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy!” Heather claimed Sam was “so boring” and – despite an instant bond, romantic dates and public displays of affection on the show – there was no real connection. “I never went on the show to find a husband,” she admitted openly. “I did it for…

Fans have dubbed Emily “cold” and “snobby” on the show, but portfolio manager Ebru insists she’s the exact opposite. “We bonded really well,” says Ebru, 31, of her closest friend and roommate on the show. “I didn’t think we’d create such a close friendship, but we did. She’s one of the only girls I trust.” But even though they’re BFFs, Ebru admits she does get jealous of her. “It’s hard seeing Sam take other girls on dates.”…
