Innholdsfortegnelse for September 28, 2015 i Woman's Day

Apparently last week Australia gained a new prime minister, or so I heard someone say … because the only discussion at gossip central this week has been around a younger, taller, more handsome fella – our cover star, Bachie Sam! I first met Sam six months ago during the Woman’s Day photo shoot group date, and while the flirt-o-meter with all the girls was on extreme, looking back Sam really only had eyes for one woman: his stunning girlfriend, Snezana. The chemistry was turned up high at our cover shoot, with Sam unable to take his eyes (or hands!) off the woman he plans to marry and start a family with. Aw, the romance! Yes, it’s been quite a, dare I say, “journey” for us Bachie fans, but with the…

It looks like there’s a new man who’s got Kylie Minogue spinning around. The Aussie songbird has a penchant for younger men, so when she was spotted in London holding hands with Joshua Sasse – a British actor 20 years her junior – things seemed cosy. According to an insider, Kylie, 47, has become very close to Joshua, 27, who is the star of US musical TV show Galavant, in which Kylie makes a guest appearance. The model has even introduced her to his family! “Josh has taken Kylie to meet his parents already,” reveals a source close to him. “They had dinner with his family.” Kylie is thought to have been single since 2013, when her relationship with Spanish model Andres Velencoso – 10 years her junior – ended.…

She’s been keeping her newly adopted daughter August tucked away at home, but last week in LA Charlize Theron was seen with her cherished new addition. The Mad Max: Fury Road star, 40, who’s already mum to three-year-old adopted son Jackson, welcomed the little girl into her family last month. This came soon after the actress called off her engagement to Sean Penn, 55, in June. Admired for her humanitarian work, Charlize has said she wanted to adopt from a young age. “I always knew I would adopt. Always,” she told Hello! magazine.…

Boobilicious new reality TV star Suzi Taylor earned the title “naughtiest Blockhead ever” after almost knocking a singer off the stage in a booze-fuelled rampage at a fundraiser in Melbourne last week. Dressed in a revealing cocktail dress, the mum-of-three from the Gold Coast, who appeared to not be wearing knickers, shocked guests with her antics. But former Penthouse pin-up Suzi remains unapologetic after almost tackling former X Factor star Nathaniel Willemse on stage at the Fashion Aid charity event. “I always like to have a good time, and maybe I was having too much of a good time,” she says. Suzi, 44, who’s controversially dating Tim Wise, a producer on The Block, was rescued by fellow contestant Caro. “She continued dancing and having a good time,” reports one guest,…

Take care You use specialised creams and serums for other sensitive areas of your body, such as your face, décolletage and under your eyes. Similarly, your delicate intimate skin can also benefit from special care, too. Although the internal area of the vagina is self-cleansing, the external vulva area is not. Additionally, your intimate skin can be quite sensitive and needs gentle yet effective products that are specifically designed for the unique qualities of this sensitive zone. Intimate Health Facts • Lack of hydration affects the skin all over your body, including your sensitive intimate skin, which needs the right balance of moisture. • There are more sweat glands in your vaginal area than your underarms. Common culprits of odour are exercise, intimacy or your period. • The vaginal area…

Elizabeth Hurley and her ex Hugh Grant have maintained a close friendship since they split up in 2000. But as the duo went for a stroll in London last week, it appeared Hugh, 55, was more keen on checking out a passerby wearing short shorts than in catching up with his mate! His wandering eye certainly didn’t go unnoticed – but Liz, 50, has clearly moved on. “We’re best friends” she says. “He lives next door to me. He’s the godfather to my son and I’m godmother to one of his kids. We were together 13 years and we’ve been best friends for 15.”…

Her husband David is covered in tattoos, but last week it was revealed Victoria Beckham has been slowly removing some of the inkings on her body – the ones that relate to the couple’s relationship. When she stepped out at New York Fashion Week, Victoria’s tribute to David on her upper back, which reads “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine” in Hebrew, was noticeably faded thanks to painful laser treatment. According to reports, the former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer, 41, is embarrassed by her tatts, which include two on her wrist – the date she and David renewed their wedding vows in 2006, and another that says “Again from the start” in Latin, which Victoria got when the family moved to the US in 2007. It comes after…

Michelle Bridges has hit back at critics who have labelled her choice to stay fit while pregnant “infuriating” and “offensive , saying she’ll work out right up until she has the baby. The trainer from TV’s The Biggest Loser, who is six months pregnant with her first child, led a rigorous session at the Perth Fitness & Health Expo last week. “A girl’s gotta get her sweat on,” Michelle, 44, shared on Instagram before performing a range of intensive exercises, including push-ups, squats, lunges and planks, in front of 400 fans. Despite her rigorous workout, the fitness fanatic insists she is in no hurry to get her slim figure back after she gives birth. “I’m pretty clear-cut about that. I don’t accept the pressure,” she said on Ten’s The Project.…

Fifi Box is already planning a baby brother for her daughter Trixie, and she’s not going to let the fact there’s no man in her life stand in her way. “I’ve always wanted a boy and a girl,” says Fifi, who can’t wait to fall pregnant again, recently revealing she thought Trixie would be a boy in the early stages of her pregnancy. “I’d named Trixie a boy – I had a really strong feeling this was a boy,” she laughs. While the bubbly radio star says her little girl has brought her nothing but joy, a son would complete the family she has always wanted. “If I have a son one day, I’d love my little boy,” says Fifi. “For me, I’ve always had a great relationship with women.…

Julie Hill couldn’t be more excited for summer. For the first time in years, the Adelaide mum-of-two won’t be hiding away in baggy shirts and oversized dresses. After losing 34kg and halving her dress size in just nine months, this summer Julie will be showing off her slim new figure in figure-hugging frocks and sleeveless tops. She’s even purchased a tankini, ready to hit the pool! “I’d usually wear board shorts and a T-shirt, but this year I know I’ll look great!” says Julie, 46. Once tipping the scales at almost 100kg and wearing size 20 clothes, Julie was used to feeling ashamed of how she looked. “I didn’t go to social events,” she admits. “I hadn’t been to my husband’s Christmas work party for as long as I could…

Rebel Wilson is heartbroken after her love affair with Mickey Gooch Jr ended amid rumours he cheated on her with two women. Although the rumours aren’t confirmed, insiders say the Aussie Pitch Perfect star grew suspicious of her boyfriend of four months after he stayed out for a couple of nights. “She checked his phone while he was in the shower and that’s when she came across all the texts,” a source says. “Some of the exchanges were very intimate. It was pretty obvious what was going on. Poor Rebel is devastated.” But her friends may be relieved. Rebel, 35, pulled strings to get the struggling actor a job on her movie How To Be Single. “When filming wrapped, Mickey went MIA – back to his NYC friends and refusing…

After nearly two months in hiding, it was a welcome surprise when Duchess Catherine resumed her royal duties last week. With Kate, 33, now back at work, many are wondering when we’ll catch another glimpse of Princess Charlotte. The baby royal has only been seen in public twice since her birth on May 2, aside from official photographs released by the Palace in May.

While her big brother, two-year-old Prince George, has been spotted out and about with both his grandmother Carole Middleton and his nanny, Charlotte has been kept safely tucked away at Wills and Kate’s home in Sandringham. Now, nearly…

Clutching his itty-bitty black riding helmet tightly, Andy Karkotis squeals with delight. The 10-minute car trip to the stables seems like an eternity for this cute two-year-old from Perth, who babbles with excitement on the way to a weekly riding session with Henry, the special horse who changed his life. Eight weeks ago, Andy – who suffers from CHARGE syndrome, a genetic condition with a number of birth defects – couldn’t talk and could barely stand. But since he started equine therapy, the cheeky toddler’s progress has shocked experts and his parents. Andy is small for his age and was born profoundly deaf, with no semicircular canals in his ears. He’s also missing his natural balance. “Before, Andy could not walk up one step in our house – he would…

Imagine waking up every morning to the sound of your alarm, excited and happy to be starting a new day. When you look in the mirror you admire your body. Everyone tells you how great you’re looking and asks what your secret is. Sound too good to be true? If you, like many other women, don’t feel this way, you may have a hormonal imbalance. Research has documented that over 40 per cent of women have an undiagnosed underactive thyroid gland. If you feel tired all the time, crave sugar, use alcohol and coffee to lift yourself, retain weight around your middle and feel the cold, you could be suffering from this problem. What Does Your Thyroid Do, and What Does This Mean For You? The thyroid gland is the…

Playing deliciously wicked pirate Blackbeard, actor Hugh Jackman is scarcely recognisable under a long black wig and beard in Neverland fantasy movie Pan – which he admits may scare the kids! Hugh, 46, talked to Woman’s Day about how the film brought him even closer to his children, Oscar, 15, and Ava, 10. Did you grow up reading the story of Peter Pan? Yes, but as a parent it touches me even more, I think. My kids are adopted, so there are parts I’m very sensitive to. It’s also a story that celebrates the imagination of a child and hinting at the idea that the more we keep that in life, the happier we’ll be. So, because your kids are adopted they relate closely to the story of…
