Innholdsfortegnelse for 1713 i Woman's Day

A few years ago I was talking to former editor Bob Cameron about the royal family. I was mesmerised by his tales of the days when the fax machine under his bed would go into overdrive in the middle of the night, spitting out photos from our royal correspondent in London – his personal favourite, pics that would later become known as the Fergie toe-sucking incident. He told me how he was the first person to listen to the infamous tapes of Princess Di and her then lover James Gilbey who affectionately called her “Squidgy”, and I thought how dull the royal family have been since those days. But it wasn’t long before Fergie was at it again, caught selling stories about her ex for half a million pounds, and…

Rumours James Hewitt is Prince Harry’s real father of have never gone away. Just last week James was forced to deny he’s the prince’s father once more.

‘James is either the best ex-husband in the world, or he’s still in love with Jodhi’ Casino mogul James Packer is nothing if not determined. And he’ll stop at nothing to win back Jodhi Meares, now she’s dumped her toyboy husband after a short-lived 14-month marriage, telling friends he is willing to “wait as long as it takes” to reboot their love story. Even before Jodhi, who turns 46 this week, dumped 29-year-old photographer Nick Tsindos last week, James made his feelings clear to the designer, presenting her with gifts and phoning often to make sure she was OK. He secretly sent her $500,000 Cartier diamond earrings for Christmas, just before she married Nick, and made his fleet of super yachts and private jets available to her. All that as…

She has one of the best bodies in Hollywood, so onlookers were quick to notice Kate Hudson looked a little rounder across the middle when she was spotted leaving a yoga class in LA on March 7. Now, in news that may come as a shock, friends tell Woman’s Day Kate, 37, is expecting her first child with new man Brad Pitt! The pair – who were first linked shortly after Brad split from his now estranged ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 41, last September – are said to be delighted at the thought of starting a family. “Kate has made no secret of the fact she’s desperate to have a baby with Brad,” discloses a friend. “Getting pregnant has been on her agenda since the start of the year, even though…

With a waterski strapped onto her feet, Alayna Campbell signals to her dad that she’s ready to go, and the engine roars to life. The 18-year-old seems fearless as she whizzes along behind her parents’ boat on Lake Eppalock in Victoria. What makes this achievement so remarkable is that Alayna is legally blind and hearing impaired. But for the determined teen, that was no reason to give up her hobby. “If other people can do it, why not me?” Alayna says, explaining it took her three years to become this confident on the water, after she was left with just 10 per cent peripheral vision in only her left eye six years ago. It came after a shunt placed in her head to relieve fluid build-up as a baby began…

It’s not the first time a wedding guest list has torn a family apart. And royal insiders reveal it’s chaos at the palace after the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister, Pippa Middleton, officially uninvited Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle to her upcoming wedding celebration. The callous move has sent shock waves through the royal family – and it’s left Harry claiming he’ll boycott the day if he can’t have the woman he loves by his side. We’re told 33-year-old Pippa – on the advice of her mum Carole – has implemented a “no ring, no bring” policy for guests at her nuptials to billionaire James Matthews, set to take place in May. With Harry, 32, yet to officially propose to 35-year-old Meghan, it means she’s been uninvited. The move comes after…

‘They’ve been with me for… it’ll be over nine months’ Priscilla Presley did what any other loving grandmother would do when she stepped in to take care of her daughter’s twins in the wake of a family crisis. The move came last month amid a bitter split between Lisa Marie and the girls’ father, and a court case that saw him accused of storing inappropriate photos of children on his computer. But it appears there’s more tension than first thought in the Presley clan, with shock claims Priscilla and Lisa Marie are now locked in a bitter feud. Speculation that something was amiss began last week after Priscilla, 71, revealed eight-year-old girls Finley and Harper have actually been living at her house for nine months.

Casey Donovan laughs as she describes looking in the mirror at her new “lighter, brighter” and slimmer self. “When I got on the scales I couldn’t believe it.

Things really have changed and I want to get back to the real world and take life by the balls.” The much-loved reality star, 28, was crowned I’m a Celeb’s Queen of the Jungle – but she says her biggest achievement was beating her fears, and kick-starting a new life and weight-loss journey. “I’ve lost weight before and I’ve put it back on…

It’s been 18 months since she broke up with Mickey Gooch Jnr, and it appears Rebel Wilson’s love-life is finally on track again. The Pitch Perfect star, who has been filming the third instalment of the successful franchise in Los Angeles, was spotted hand-in-hand with a very tall male companion at celebrity hotspot Craig’s restaurant last week.

‘I love people and I relate to them no matter what size’ Golden Globe-nominee Chrissy Metz is just as endearing as her character Kate Pearson. And the US actress says she has more in common with her on-screen persona than she could’ve imagined when she took on the role in hit drama This is Us. “I’ve been a personal assistant and I’ve put everything on the backburner for someone else,” says Chrissy. “I’m a middle child of five, so I get trying to always keep everything good within the family. And obviously being a plus-size woman struggling with my own weight issues.” In the show Kate experiences size discrimination and serious emotional problems. And while the role has thrust her into the spotlight, Chrissy doesn’t want her size to be…
