As a young newspaper reporter I covered Reggie Bird’s triumphant return to Hobart after she won the first Australian series of Big Brother. Thousands of fans lined the streets wearing Reggie masks for a ticker tape parade. I even recall eating a Reggie Burger! Reggie’s life has sadly taken one tragic turn after another in the 14 years since then. We catch up with her on page 24 and find that, despite life’s many setbacks, the magnetic smile that won her so many fans back then still remains. Speaking of time flying, can you believe it’s been 12 years since Schapelle Corby was sentenced? After her enormous fight to return to Oz, she’ll be on home soil next week – only she’d rather be back in Bali! The saga continues…!…
Just to cap it off … Were the Afflecks hoping for a sun shower? We’re not sure, but when Seraphina, eight, and Violet, 11, donned shower caps for a day out in LA with dad Ben and brother Samuel, five, they stopped (foot) traffic! Swordplay Eric Bana found a knight in shining armour at the LA premiere of King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword last week. The Aussie actor is doing us proud, starring as Arthur’s father Uther in the blockbuster which premieres in Australia this week. That’s cat-titude! Maggie Gyllenhaal wasn’t taking any sass from her five-year-old daughter Gloria as they strolled the streets of Brooklyn, New York. Her look – and that jacket – said it all! High fi ve! Alec who?! Three-year-old Carmen Baldwin upstaged even her…
‘Eugenie would love to upstage Meghan by announcing her own engagement’ Their long-held jealousies and ongoing feuds are public knowledge, but never before has Buckingham Palace seen such a tense showdown between the next generation of royal leaders.

But on the eve of what should be a momentous occasion for the entire British royal family – and with Pippa Middleton’s wedding taking place this weekend – Woman’s Day has learnt palace aides are frantically trying to broker peace between young royals caught up in a new bitter rivalry – a race to the altar. For most families, weddings are joyous events that bring people together, but tension over who’ll be…
‘I’ll never forgive him… On my mother’s grave I will get him’ For MasterChef viewers, the appeal of the series lies in its family friendly format, talented contestants and supportive judging panel. But fans were shocked to discover the dark side of the Network Ten program last week, with two of the show’s lovable judges, Matt Preston and George Calombaris, sparking controversy. While other reality shows make for drama-filled viewing, when it comes to MasterChef Australia, it seems the action takes place after the cameras stop rolling. The nightmare began to unfold when former MasterChef judge Marco Pierre White, 55 – who has previously had an entire week of the show dedicated to his visits – revealed Matt was the reason he defected to rival network Seven. The furious Michelin…
ADRIANO ZUMBO The former MasterChef star came under fire earlier this month after it was revealed his company 611 Pty Ltd failed to pay its workers’ super. Some said the pressure of working on his show drove them to tears. Adriano, 35, said “first I’ve heard of it” but promised to pay. HESTON BLUMENTHAL He’s best known for his formulaic, scientific approach to cooking, but when it comes to his love-life, it’s far from straightforward. Despite ending his 28-year marriage to Zanna in 2011, their divorce was only made official this April. After the split, Heston, 50, briefly dated US cook Suzanne Pirret, before rumours he was giving it another go with Zanna. Now he’s with Frenchwoman Stephanie Gouveia. Ooh la la! NIGELLA LAWSON She’s a domestic goddess, sure, but…
Hollywood is littered with relationships that collapse under the weight of competing work schedules and intense public scrutiny. But there’s one union that’s always kept fans believing in lasting love – the steadfast romance between Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The couple have been together for 34 years and although they’re yet to wed, they made it clear last week that they’re just as crazy about each other now as the day they first met. Goldie, 71, and Kurt, 66, kissed, cuddled and had each other laughing as they received joint stars on the hallowed Hollywood Walk of Fame. The touching ceremony was so heartfelt it could almost have been mistaken for the wedding they never had! That fact certainly wasn’t lost on Goldie’s famous daughter Kate Hudson, who is…
