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…

She received the first rose and single date with the Bachelor, but Sarah, 26 – who allegedly had a long-term boyfriend when she entered the show – isn’t convinced she has won Sam’s heart just yet. “I think Snez is the frontrunner at the moment,” she admits. “I’ve observed the connection between her and Sam – and it’s really strong. It’s obvious they have a lot of chemistry. Emily is probably up there too, with Heather. They’re edging ahead of the rest of us.”…

When this year’s Bachelor Sam Wood denied claims he knew Bec prior to the show, Tim Robards was quick to call him out. “They ran off surnames before I went in because you don’t want to find yourself dating your best mate’s ex,” Tim, 33, told the Daily Mail, adding that he thinks Sam is chasing fame on the show. As for last year’s Bachelor Blake Garvey, who famously proposed to Sam Frost in the finale before dumping her for Louise Pillidge, Tim is hardly a fan! “Blake is fake – I don’t like him!” Tim tells Woman’s Day, quickly adding that he doesn’t consider himself in competition with either of the other Bachelors. “I’m not the type of guy to pop the question after 12 weeks,” adds Sam, who’s…

After both having their hearts broken on national television, it seems Married at First Sight stars James Webster,36, and Roni Azzopardi, 34, have fallen in love. Fellow Married at First Sight star Alex Garner let slip on social media that the “matchmakers got it wrong”, posting a picture of Roni with James, 36, with the hashtag “new love”. Asked about the new relationship, James simply said, “No comment for now.”…

Radio and TV star Fifi Box looked every bit the proud mum as she strolled through the streets of Melbourne with her cute-as-a-button daughter Trixie Belle one afternoon last week. Even Melbourne’s chilly winter weather couldn’t put a dint in the sheer joy Fifi, 38, so clearly feels when spending time with the adorable little girl she conceived with former ironman Grant Kenny. Life after Grant Friends say Fifi has reconciled herself to life without Grant, 52, who she has secretly dated on and off for the past three years, while the couple discussed their future and a possible sibling for two-year-old Trixie. “She was devastated when she realised it was over. Fifi had been hoping for a different outcome – one with a happy ending,” reveals a Melbourne friend…

When Lauren Breedt emerges in her new orange dress, three-year-old Ollie looks up in awe. “You look beautiful, Mummy,” the little boy says. Smiling ear to ear with newfound confidence, Lauren is literally half the woman she used to be. In a just under a year, she has dropped a staggering 66kg, plummeting from 120kg to a head-turning 54kg. A size 22 at her heaviest, she also now boasts a figure-hugging new size six wardrobe. “I’m way more confident now,” beams the Adelaide mum of two. “I went to the kids’ pool the other day – the last time I went I was obese and didn’t want to go in the water. But this time, I got into my one-piece and flaunted it!” How she started Lauren lost the kilos…

Q Will I ever move out of this house? Will I win Lotto? Will my friend Boris go to Hong Kong with me next year? Doris, via email While I’m only picking up small token wins in games of chance for you, you will end up feeling like a big winner once you move out of the house you are currently living in. It’ll be one of the best decisions you ever make. You will end up downsizing to a much more manageable sized home and feel very happy and settled there. Yes, your friend Boris will end up going travelling with you – but it won’t be to Hong Kong. Travel much closer to home seems to be more achievable for him at this time. Q I’m…

Jen’s twins I was so thrilled to read that Jennifer Aniston is expecting (Honeymoon Baby Joy: Jen Pregnant With Twins!, issue 35)! What a blessing to be able to conceive at 46. Hoping all goes well for her. Vicki Fryer, Bunbury,WA Royal kids I had to smile at the pictures of Mia Tindall and Prince George (Royal Toddlers out of Control!, issue 35) behaving just like thousands of other “terrible twos” around the world! It’s a far cry from the days when royal children were left at home with the nannies. Hopefully this generation will grow up more in touch with the real world. Carol Ryan, Bundaberg, Qld Downton dresses I loved What the frock? last week (Richard Reid rates the Dames of Downton, issue 35). Seeing these gorgeous actresses…

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?

Dietitian Bec, who met Sam in Bali last year, has shed plenty of tears on The Bachelor, but there’s been one girl who’s always provided a shoulder to cry on when things get tough. “Emily has kept me sane this entire journey,” says 28-year-old Bec... “She’s incredible.” And the feeling is mutual. “Bec is gorgeous,” adds Emily. “We always have such lovely chats – I love her to the moon and back.” The pair are even planning to catch up in Sydney after the show has wrapped!…

You can see it in her smile and the glow of her skin. Schapelle Corby has finally closed the door on the dark chapter that saw her locked up in Bali, as she reveals she is not only trying for a baby but also preparing to tie the knot with boyfriend Ben Panangian. With a smile that lit up the room, Schapelle, 38, last week revealed just how much her life has changed to one Aussie tourist who spent an afternoon celebrating Schapelle’s exciting baby and wedding news. Bright future “She was lovely and seemed on great form. She was laughing a lot and pretty excited about what was happening in her life,” reveals the tourist from Sydney, who asked not to be named. “And she is off the Pill…

Kids grow up fast, and it looks like Elle Macpherson’s son Flynn Busson has become a real charmer at 17! He recently began dating Greek princess Maria-Olympia, 19, and the happy young couple have spared no expense on their flashy dates. Last week Flynn shared a snap of Olympia and her cousin Talita von Furstenberg – granddaughter of designer Diane von Furstenberg – topless by the pool in the Bahamas. The pair are currently holidaying with Talita, 16, and other friends in the regular vacation spot for both their wealthy families. Olympia lives in London with her parents Prince Pavlos and Princess Marie-Chantal, but spends a lot of time travelling throughout Europe. She and Flynn, the eldest of Elle’s two sons with Arpad Busson, have been friends for some time.…

In news that has shocked fans of Beverly Hills, 90210, Shannen Doherty has revealed she’s battling cancer. The actress, who played Brenda Walsh on the hit TV show of the ’90s, confirmed her health diagnosis to People magazine. “Yes, I have breast cancer, and I’m currently undergoing treatment,” the star revealed in an exclusive statement. “I am continuing to eat right, exercise and stay very positive about my life,” Shannen explained. “I am thankful to my family, friends and doctors for their support. And of course my fans, who have stood by me.” The 44-year-old actress, who also starred in Charmed, was forced to discuss her battle with the disease after TMZ published details of a lawsuit filed against her former business manager Tanner Mainstain. According to the reports, Shannen…

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.”…

They’re in wedded bliss after finally tying the knot in secret last month, and now sources close to Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis say the happy couple have even more exciting news to share. After welcoming daughter Wyatt into the world 10 months ago, the couple are said to be trying for a second baby to add to their picture-perfect family. “Mila’s seen a fertility doctor who told her she’s in perfect shape to become pregnant,” a source told Radar Online. “They don’t want to wait too long because they want their children to be close together in age,” the source said. But don’t expect Mila, 32, and Ashton, 37, to share their exciting news with the rest of us any time soon… The couple chose not to make an…

He’s made headlines for his bulging belly, but cruising around Ibiza with his new love Mariah Carey, James is proof that love works miracles. The Aussie billionaire turned to lap band surgery in 2011 in an effort to slim down, but he’s struggled to keep the weight off – until now. Looking slimmer and younger than ever, the 47-year-old casino giant swears by daily exercise and smaller meals – but many suggest Mariah, 45, is the real reason. “He’s already told her he wants to get married sooner rather than later,” a source revealed to TMZ.…

Kate’s in hiding Pregnancy speculation began to mount last week when the Duchess failed to turn up to the wedding of her and William’s good friends Bear Maclean and Daisy Dickson. Kate was invited and she and William were due to sit at the main table, but the Duchess cancelled at the last minute without explanation. William attended the wedding with Kate’s sister, Pippa, and even stayed on for lunch the next day, but both were careful not to reveal the real reason Kate couldn’t attend. It hasn’t even been four months since William and Kate welcomed Princess Charlotte into the world, but many are speculating that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are already planning to add to their family once more. After falling head-over-heels for their little girl…

Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23 Socially you’re hitting your peak, but if attached, your partner may be in a very different place. If your patience has been wearing thin, set up extra downtime or a debrief with friends. Sunday could bring up an underlying problem, but knowledge is power. Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23 If you’re feeling a bit Jekyll-and-Hyde, just go with it – buried emotions are stirring, but an underlying issue needs resolution. Meanwhile, walking or cycling could become your new love. If allergies have flared up lately, ditch regular cleaners and try going green. Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22 If a situation has been testing your patience, Sunday’s full moon could turn casual comments into full-blown heart-to-hearts, but expressing yourself should…

Flynn’s flying high No wonder Orlando’s in such great shape – a day out with his son Flynn proves to be a solid workout! The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 38 – who’s confirmed his appearance in the next instalment – and his four-year-old mini-me bonded while running errands in Malibu. Flynn travelled in style in his dad’s muscular arms! Laura’s Photoshop fail Even models sometimes need to rely on a bit of quick editing to ensure they always look picture-perfect. Take Laura, for example. It looks like the Aussie TV host, 38, may need some digital manipulation lessons, because eagle-eyed fans have spotted that her social media snaps have been given a little nip and tuck.
