Innholdsfortegnelse for 23 May 2016 i Woman's Day

It was almost 3am one night last week when I’d finally finished all my work, packed school lunches, ironed uniforms and was ready for the next morning’s rush hour. Either I have really bad time management issues or the woman you’re about to read about on page 25 is truly superhuman! I’m a single mum of two boys, but she’s a 66-year-old new mum (yep!) raising her one-year-old quads, which brings her entire brood to 17 kids – and she’s doing it all on her own. (I’d love to know what time she goes to bed!) Speaking of toddlers, if you’re a fan of cheeky Prince George, wait until you meet his even cheekier cousin, Mia Tindall. Judging by her display at the Badminton Horse Trials, where mum Zara competed…

Notorious ladies’ man Shane Warne has been left red-faced after being caught out again – and this time with reality star Brynne Edelsten! Despite doing his best to deny the pair’s late-night hook-up, the former king of spin was caught on camera in front of the socialite’s apartment block in the early hours of Thursday morning, when he claimed he was heading for a “nightcap”. Furious at being found out, the I’m A Celebrity… star, 46, went into damage control, taking to Twitter to accuse the ex-wife of millionaire Geoffrey Edelsten of tipping off the paparazzi. “Some people never cease to amaze me. Listen to this one,” he wrote. “After a fun night raising money for breast cancer in Geelong last night, me & a few friends plus Brynne Edelsten…

In what is arguably Hollywood’s best kept secret, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have given birth to their second child – and no one knew they were expecting! The couple welcomed a little girl – Amada Lee Gosling – on April 29 at St John’s Health Centre in Santa Monica, but their special news wasn’t revealed until TMZ obtained a copy of Amada’s birth certificate last week. No doubt the couple’s eldest child Esmeralda Amada, who is 20 months old, is thrilled with the birth of her little sister. The girls share a name very dear to Eva, 42, as it belonged to her grandmother, and means “beloved” in Spanish. Ryan, 35, and Eva have both spoken of their desire to keep some things to themselves. “Whether we like it…

It’s the pregnancy no one saw coming. For the past year, Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson have endured rumours of infidelity, but when they left The Nice Guy restaurant in LA recently, Jess appeared fuller-figured in a fitted black dress. Eric, 36, was linked to one of their three nannies last month, fuelling reports a split was on the cards. But usually svelte Jess, 35 – who was photographed with washboard abs in late March – looked decidedly curvier, prompting fans to speculate the couple may be expecting baby number three. Jess is also renowned for loving a night on the town, but she looked uncharacteristically in control as they left dinner. “As a mum, I just have this confidence: I just feel so proud of what I’ve done…

Pia parties HARD! But I’m famous! Even being nominated for Best Newcomer couldn’t gain a slightly worse-for-wear Pia Miller access to the Logies afterparty at Shane Warne’s Club 23. Th e Home and Away actress’s evening was brought to an abrupt end when she was denied entry to the venue – not once, but twice, despite a friend gamely shouting out, “But she’s famous!” Joined by her new boyfriend Tyson Mullane, at least the smiley mum-of-two had someone to lean on as she laughed off being banned from the party hosted by her rival network. Earlier, sources spotted the beauty looking “clearly intoxicated” as she left the Seven party “propped up” by her co-stars. By all accounts she was very quiet and kept her sunglasses on during her…

‘It can be stressful but it’s a question of organisation’ She’s a grandmother-of-eight – but Annegret Raunigk is still changing her own kids’ nappies. The 66-year-old made history last May by becoming the oldest woman ever to give birth to quads – making her a mum of 17, too. “At first I only wanted one child,” reveals Annegret, who already had 13 children and seven grandchildren when she fell pregnant with quads at the record-breaking age of 65. “Certainly that was a shock for me,” she admits from her home in Hoxter, Germany. Although the English and Russian teacher was soon to retire, she decided to try for one more child after her 11-year-old daughter Leila pleaded for a little brother or sister to play with. German doctors refused Annegret…

It’s been a difficult for Katy. Just days before Orlando was spotted with Selena, her ex-husband Russell Brand, 40 , was revealed to be expecting his first child with girlfriend Laura Gallacher, 27. The comedian – who has gained a reputation as a womaniser and sex addict over the years – is said to be thrilled. “Russell might have bedded many of the world’s most stunning women, but now it’s all about Laura and becoming a dad,” an insider tells The Sun.…

‘He said, I wonder what it would be like to crack a human skull’ It was Boxing Day of 1996 when the brutally beaten body of JonBenet Ramsey was found in the basement of her family home in Boulder, Colorado. The six-year-old had been strangled to death. News of her murder rocked the world. But after a 20-year quest for answers, the detective hired by her parents can finally reveal who killed the doll-faced beauty queen. Private investigator Ollie Gray believes the crime was committed by Michael Helgoth, a troubled then 26-year-old electrician whose family owned a junkyard on the outskirts of the US city of Boulder. Confession tape “Based on what we know now, Helgoth and his accomplices committed the crime. There’s no doubt about it,” he reveals. “He…

Thing I lost… Sunglasses. Where do they go? There must be a huge pile of everyone’s sunnies somewhere in the world! Gift I bought… A baby hamper I put together for my friends, with sleeping bag, a cuddly sheep, a monogrammed pillow and moisturiser for mum. Belly-laugh I had… During a Postcards shoot. So many funny stories from Shane Crawford and Lauren Phillips while we were supposed to be working. Holiday I went on… To Huka Lodge in NZ. Heaven on a stick and a luxury escape for my special birthday. Time I did something embarrassing… Every Tuesday. Ballet Class. Uncoordinated. Leotard. Say no more. Time I was starstruck… When Gabriel Macht (aka Harvey Spectre) from Suits was in the Nine studio! Thing I ate and regretted… My husband calls…

All eyes were on Jesinta Campbell at the TV Week Logie Awards, but her revealing outfit wasn’t the only thing to catch onlookers’ attention: she was walking the red carpet alone. The David Jones ambassador looked happy and confident without her AFL star fiance Lance “Buddy” Franklin by her side, despite speculation all might not be well between the model and her partner of two-and-a-half years. When asked about her impending wedding to the Sydney Swans star – to whom she’s been engaged since December 2014 – she hinted there might be trouble in paradise. Nuptials on hold “There are no wedding plans,” snapped the 24-year-old, who has been busy supporting Buddy through his battle with depression. “Everyone’s been asking me about this. There are zero wedding plans, so everyone…

‘They rarely spent a day apart in more than 45 years’ Reg Grundy broke one of his golden rules when he met Joy Chambers – to not date a co-worker. It took him a few weeks, but finally he cracked and asked the young actress working on his now-long-forgotten TV show I’ve Got a Secret out to dinner. But it was a moment of madness he never regretted. Joy was still by Reg’s side when he passed away on May 6, cradling the man who swept her off her feet when she was just 18 in her arms, heartbroken to finally be saying goodbye. “Reg is the love of my life and we’re blessed,” Joy told Woman’s Day three years ago. “We love to celebrate our marriage, and in fact…

‘I’m older now … I’ve changed a lot as a person and I’m happy in my own skin’ She seldom speaks out about her former life as one fifth of the Spice Girls – so it came as a shock when Victoria Beckham revealed last week that her microphone was often turned off during the group’s live shows. Thankfully, the mum-of-four is far more comfortable in her line of work these days, making a name as one of the world’s most respected fashion designers. But while she loves designing clothes, 42-year-old Posh isn’t so comfortable when it comes to modelling them – unlike her gorgeous husband, David, 41, who has fronted a host of high-profile campaigns, including recently for Swedish retail giant H&M. “When I hear another Vogue cover has…

Q I’m mature-aged and have been on my own for a long time. Do you see me in a relationship again? I’m undergoing an operation in the near future. Will I be all right? Will I sell my house and move? Wondering & hoping I can see you meeting a wonderful man who has a very hands-on approach to life. I can tell that when he falls in love, he loves deeply. I keep getting spring as a possible timeline for this happening. It will be a chance meeting that brings you two together. The operation will go well, and the road to recovery will be steady. You will sell your house, but you will have to consider lowering your asking price if you want a quick sale. The…

The gritty prison drama isn’t afraid to tackle confrontation head on – and Danielle, who plays top dog Bea Smith, says her character gets to find new depths of emotion. She battles to keep control of her fellow inmates and tackles two new enemies, Kaz and Ferguson. “This was the most exciting season to shoot, right up to the final moments,” she reveals to Woman’s Day. “There are some heart-stopping scenes. I’m undeniably excited about hearing people’s response to season four – more than any other season.” Playing such a tortured role can be emotionally draining, so Danielle finds peace by hitting the road on her motorbike and daily meditation. “When you’re performing in those scenes every cell in your body is having that experience,” says the actress. “Logically you…

Here comes the bride! Lisa and her daughter Morgan were in high spirits when they hit the shops on a wedding-themed trip last week! With dancer Morgan’s nuptials to Ryan Gruell looming, the pair were spotted ogling Jimmy Choo heels and an array of gorgeous gowns. Hello, Saint! We haven’t seen much of the five-month-old bub yet, but with his cherubic cheeks and big eyes Saint is certainly living up to his name! The son of Kanye, 38, and Kim, 35, was in his dad’s arms when the family landed in Cuba last week. Kim recently opened up about being a mum: “Once you become a mother, you have a newfound respect for people who’ve gone through it.” Art imitates life Onlookers did a double-take when they saw Katie in…

‘Amal feels threatened by Julia’s chemistry with George’ Stepping out on the red carpet, it’s clear they can’t take their eyes off each other. As she places her hand on his chest, he wraps his arm around her waist, and they lean in to share a private joke onlookers can’t hear. But it’s not a bona fide red-carpet appearance if it isn’t posted on social media, and she’s sure to flood her Instagram with pictures of the pair looking glamorous. It’s a scene very familiar for George Clooney – but in news that may shock fans, the woman joining him is not his wife Amal. Even the most secure wife would feel uncomfortable with such a scenario, but for the human rights barrister, whose marriage has been plagued by rumours,…

It seems that Buddy wasn’t the only person who had reservations about Jesinta’s Logies look. Radio star Kate Langbroek took aim at the model’s gown, posting on Instagram: “This cannot be for real,” along with the hashtags #logies, #beachwear #desperate(for pants). Clearly angered, Jesinta was quick to fire back. “Woah, nasty @katelangbroek! Hope you enjoyed watching and critiquing from your couch last night.” Realising her post was out of order, Kate replied: “That does sound mean. Sorry, your bum was the first thing I saw. PS no couch. Bed.”…

‘Selena thinks Orlando is super-hot, she’s always had a crush on him’ They’re the photos no girlfriend ever wants to see. But it looks like Orlando Bloom has some explaining to do, after pics emerged last week of the actor getting hot and heavy with his ex, pop star Selena Gomez, in Las Vegas. For Katy Perry – who has been dating Orlando for five months – these photos are sure to be heartbreaking. Celebrating the opening night of her Revival Tour, Selena was spotted in a darkened corner with Orlando at celeb hotspot Light Nightclub, in the Mandalay Bay casino. A source told TMZ the pair were very “touchy feely” before Selena, 23, was photographed nuzzling into Orlando’s neck and sharing what looks to be a kiss. It’s believed…

‘You and Jessie look like twins now OMG’ It’s only a few weeks into the new series of The Voice, but Delta Goodrem is copping flak from all directions. As reports of ongoing tension between Delta and her co-stars Jessie J and brothers Benji and Joel Madden persist, viewers are letting loose on social media, slamming everything from her mannerisms to her dress sense. Last week, Delta, 31, took matters into her own hands, in a dramatic bid to change her image. The Voice coach, famous for her megawatt smile, was barely recognisable when she unveiled her alter ego named Angel Rose at a surprise show outside Topshop in Westfield Bondi. Plastered in stick-on tattoos, heavy eyeliner and a blunt black wig, Delta’s other side, aka Angel Rose, left fans…

When Mariah Carey started dating James Packer in June last year, it seemed he’d met his match. Mariah loves the glitz and glamour of the casino world as much as he does, so she seemed the ideal woman to knock back champagne and globetrot on the Aussie billionaire’s superyacht. “They’re made for each other,” an insider said at the time. “It’s crazy how perfect they are together.” But now the pair have hit a bumpy patch, with partying at the heart of the tension. Last week, Mariah, 46, was pictured stumbling out of an LA nightclub after enjoying one too many red wines. And friends say James, 48, is starting to miss the wholesome ladies of his past – like Miranda Kerr – and is begging Mariah to rein in…

• I’m obsessed with... “Baths – I take one every other night. I don’t know how people can do without one.” • My night-time ritual is to... “Get a hot washcloth to take off my makeup, then use a Clarisonic device to exfoliate. Then I apply a moisturiser. My skin is sensitive so I always choose products without perfume.” • My anti-ageing trick is... “I wear blush as high as possible on my cheekbones. I apply it almost under my eyes to make it look natural.” Essence Winter? Wonderful! Blush $6.15…

AMANDA SAYS Darcy tells me that back when Catherine was looking for a pig, he wasn’t quite what she wanted, but she ended up with him anyway. He was a baby when he came to the family and very much a character, making everyone laugh. They used to take him out for walks, but now he’s 250kg and he knows this is no longer possible. Darcy says he has lived next door to the chook in the pen all his life and they’re mates. The bird is actually an old duck with a lot of ailments and has lived with Catherine for a very long time. Darcy tells Catherine he’s sorry for chasing her and hurting her. He has a very painful back right leg. He apologises a lot and…
