I’m currently living by an excellent saying my girlfriend Heather offered up recently: “The best revenge is a good life!” Well, I couldn’t help but cheer when I found out Married at First Sight’s jilted bride Jess Wardrop is having the last laugh on the groom who made her feel bad about her weight. Jess has transformed her life since her TV humiliation, lost 10kg, and says she’s ready for love again (p12). On a different note, how sad is the latest chapter in Lisa Marie Presley’s life? All but broke, divorced from her fourth husband and separated from her twin daughters – what would Elvis think of his sweet daughter, and how has she lost the $130m he bestowed on her (p26)? And in news that’s gripped the nation,…

Much has been made of young Prince George’s exciting move to big school in September – but his little sister is quietly preparing for her own special milestone. Princess Charlotte, who turns two in May, will start preschool when the family moves to London.

Charlotte and George, along with their parents, will relocate from their countryside manor in Norfolk to the royal HQ later this year. William and Kate are looking at two Montessori preschools – Iverna Gardens and Eden – just a short walk from Kensington Palace and from George’s new school, Wetherby.…

Since his move from Nine to Seven last year, Michael and Sam’s friendship has deepened – and he’s told mates he’s ready to take it to the next level. Having settled into his role, the newsreader is reportedly ready to date again, and Sam is top of his list. Sources say Sam and Michael’s friend Natalie Barr first tried to get them together in 2015, after noticing the two had a connection at a barbecue she hosted. Michael, 46, and Sam were…

When Aussie Ethan Turnbull saw some kids walking out onto a frozen pond in New York’s Central Park last week he thought nothing of it – until the screaming started. The model, 24, and his friend Bennett Jonas, 23, were out skateboarding in the famous Manhattan park when ice covering the pond gave way, and seven kids aged from 10 to 16 were plunged into the freezing black water underneath. “Instinct kicked in – we didn’t think twice about getting in the water,” Ethan exclusively tells Woman’s Day. “My first thought was just to get the kids out as fast as possible.” Mobile phone footage, obtained by NBC 4 New York, shows the children running around on the frozen pond and playing on the ice. The group gathered to pose…

Ask Jennene Q At a dinner party I went to recently, the pork loin was served slightly pink. I’ve always thought this was a no-no. Am I wrong about this? Katrina, Adelaide, SA A Pork doesn’t need to be overcooked to be safe. Pork (like all meat) continues to cook after removal from heat. If you cook lean pork until well done it can become dry, so it’s best cooked till it has a tinge of pink in the centre.

Botox for locks Just as your skin ages, so does your hair. “The longer, and therefore older, your hair is, the more damaged it becomes as it’s been exposed to more stresses – be that environmental or styling-related,” says Paula Halsey, training manager for haircare brand Phyto. “Plus, as we age and our hair turns grey, the texture changes and it dries out. This can make it brittle and even more susceptible to damage.” Try an Olaplex treatment. Dubbed “Botox for locks”, this strengthening treatment contains a high-tech molecule that rebuilds damaged protein links deep in your hair, smoothing your strands and improving elasticity and shine. Prices vary – visit olaplex.com.au to find a salon near you. MAINTAIN IT AT HOME Prevention has long been a keyword in skincare, and…

Kate & Idris get cosy MORETHAN CO-STARS? Amid speculation that Kate Winslet’s marriage to Ned Rocknroll is on the rocks, sources on the set of her upcoming film The Mountain Between Us have noticed a growing closeness between the 41-year-old actress and her co-star Idris Elba, 44. “Everyone’s buzzing about their chemistry,” says an insider. “When the cameras stop rolling, they leave set together and go off exploring.” Ned, 38, is less than impressed, with sources telling Woman’s Day the pair have been fighting and leading increasingly separate lives. “They have a curious relationship,” the source says. “Ned stays home in England, looking after the kids, while Kate jets here, there and everywhere working. And when they are together, they start arguing. “There’s no…

Now, 35-year-old Kate has finally spoken out about a secret heartache that’s plagued her for more than two decades.

With a “difficult year” now behind her, it seems Angelina has reached a new state of peace – and the evidence is written all over her face. The star’s previously drawn appearance has softened and she looks far healthier. Her once-prominent cheekbones are no longer evident and, refreshingly, age lines are now visible around her eyes. Insiders say that after accepting the end of her marriage, Ange eased off her strict regimen. Cosmetic nurse practitioner Katherine Millar-Shannon says the actress seems to have softened the anti-wrinkle injections around her eyes. “Her forehead and frown lines also have less anti-wrinkle injectable product in there, as her famous almond eyes don’t appear to be as open and lifted as much as usual,” she says. “She looks to have had dermal fillers in…

It’s going to be a long road ahead, and a challenging road ahead, and I just thank everyone for their support.” Grant says he is going to address his “mental health issues” after his dad Nev revealed his son was “mentally disturbed” and “depressed” following his dramatic arrest at the family home a fortnight ago. His parents called police after an emotional Grant flew into a rage after not being able to see his children, seven-year-old twins Jagger and Charlize. “He doesn’t care how much…

‘I was shocked and horrified and sick to my stomach’ As the daughter of one of history’s most beloved icons, Lisa Marie Presley should be enjoying a life of enormous privilege, unprecedented luxury and endless happiness. But instead the only child of rock ’n’ roll legend Elvis has been plagued by divorce, heartbreak and poverty. In the latest sorry chapter in the life of a woman who had the world at her feet, Lisa Marie’s eight-year-old twin daughters Harper and Finley have been taken away from her, and are in the care of her mother, Priscilla.

 Her childhood photos show a typical Aussie schoolboy. But even as a young child, Kelly Star always felt she had more in common with her three older sisters than her big brothers. ‘I’ve had 19 operations on my breasts, increasing from 32C to 32K’ “I used to copy one of my sisters, right down to the way she did her handwriting and what she ate,” Kelly says. “By 15, I had started borrowing her clothes, too.” Kelly was born Michael, the youngest of six, and attended a Catholic school in Perth as a boy. But more than anything else, and from a very young age, she knew she wanted to be a woman. At 16 and without her parents’ knowledge, Kelly began taking female hormone tablets she got from a…
