Going through my son Archie’s “special box” of memories, I came across a picture of a T-rex coloured in by my mum with a little story they’d written together, reminding me of what a beautiful grandmother Mum is. It’s not unusual to find her acting like a dinosaur or even jumping on the trampoline! As Prince William approaches the 20-year anniversary of his mum Diana’s death, he reveals it’s those playful memories of his mum that he cherishes most, and that he is determined for his own children to experience. In that way, they may be lucky enough to experience even just a little bit of the magic of their grandmother.…

‘Quite frankly, David’s bored. It’s led to a lot of partying’ Just months ago they were celebrating two decades of romance. Now in shock claims rocking Hollywood, close friends of David and Victoria Beckham have alleged the couple’s marriage is over. Insiders say while they’ve never been more financially successful – their family brand has amassed a fortune of more than $840 million – privately the couple’s relationship is in tatters and they have already secretly called time on their marriage. After 18 years as husband and wife, and four children, friends say they are now simply staying together in a bid to keep up appearances. LIVING APART Such claims were supported last week by news the couple are not only living separate lives but also living in separate quarters.…

Her devotion as a mum was the reason behind her emotional state It was the touching moment that pulled at the heartstrings of complete strangers. Usually poised and polished, Asher Keddie appeared inconsolable walking through Sydney Airport with her handsome husband Vincent Fantauzzo. Looking strained and upset, the beautiful actress was tenderly reassured and comforted by her man, 40. “Asher looked really upset and like she could burst into tears at any moment,” confirms a photographer, who spotted the 43-year-old. “But Vincent was there straight away to comfort her and never left her side,” the snapper says. Her devotion as a mum was the reason behind her emotional state, with a source confirming it was the first time Asher has spent a night away from her son Valentino since he…

‘Back then we just wanted to get work… I didn’t plan for this and neither did Todd’ I was running at him and putting myself in very compromising positions,” laughs Georgie Parker as she recalls the first time she laid eyes – and hands – on close friend Todd McKenney 32 years ago. Back in the ’80s Georgie and Todd were green 19-year-olds looking for their first break in showbiz, when instructors paired them up in a pas de deux class. “He never flinched when I jumped at his groin (part of the lift called ‘the fish’) – it was a trust exercise and I’ve trusted him ever since,” says Georgie of the pair’s longtime friendship. Todd, 52, also looks back and laughs at those early days, especially his and…

Mark was her first great love. She was heartbroken when they split She’s normally never without a smile, but there was no hiding the pain on Delta Goodrem’s face last week as friends delivered the news that the father of her ex-boyfriend Mark Philippoussis had been arrested over child sexual abuse claims. As the accusations sent shockwaves across the world, Delta was left reeling in horror as details of the charges against Nikolaos “Nick” Philippoussis slowly started to emerge. Last week the 68-year-old San Diego-based tennis coach and father of former tennis champ Mark was arrested at his home. He reportedly offered no resistance as police took him away to investigate claims of child molestation. And while the investigation is still ongoing, it is believed Nick is facing 14 counts…

Get serious “A lot of people who decide they want to lose weight but aren’t really familiar with gym equipment might just go to the gym and do what other people are doing,” says Kate Allott, national fitness manager at Anytime Fitness Australia. “If you’re serious about losing weight, it’s worth talking to a personal trainer or fitness expert to make sure you’re getting the right balance of cardio and weight training to burn calories, even while you’re at rest.” Slow down Believe it or not, it’s a fact that too much exercise can actually be bad for you! “People who are trying to lose weight often overtrain, which sends their body into super-fatigue mode, where it produces too much cortisol and starts to shut down,” Kate points out. “You…

Which TV newsreader has been trolled by viewers desperate to get their regular host – who is vacationing in Europe – back on screen?

‘Cass was finally moving on – it’s just another twist of the knife’ In a shock backflip, TV star Karl Stefanovic is telling friends he’s considering having his vasectomy reversed to start a new family with girlfriend Jasmine Yarbrough. The news has left his ex-wife Cass feeling betrayed all over again, after he revealed seven years ago he couldn’t imagine having more children. “I can’t really see that happening anytime soon,” he told Woman’s Day exclusively after he had “the snip” in 2010 because he and Cass were so happy with their three perfect children, Jackson, now 17, Ava, 12 and River, 11. Fast forward seven years and clearly a lot has changed. According to those in his inner-circle, he and blonde beauty Jasmine, 33, have been particularly open about…

Jason’s cancer shock: I had months to live! Jason had a seizure in the waiting room when doctors told him the devastating news he had a tumour and he may not have long to live. “I couldn’t believe it when the doctors told me I had three to six months to live,” says the 46-year-old father-of-three, who was just 23 when the diagnosis was given. Thankfully, the prognosis was wrong, but the experience was traumatic. “It was a benign tumour but initially doctors thought it was cancer and it had spread,” says Jason. “When they operated they realised it was all OK.” It’s not the only traumatic life event the plumber and his partner Sarah, a palliative care nurse, have had to weather in their 25-year relationship. Seven years ago…

Kirste Gordon Four-year-old Kirste and family friend Joanne Ratcliffe, 11, were snatched during a football match at Adelaide Oval on August 25, 1973 – and Kirste’s mum Christine is still desperate for answers. “It’s been nearly 44 years since our Kirste was taken from us, but it seems like yesterday. Someone, somewhere knows something and one day, that somebody may want to clear their conscience and contact police. “When the girls were abducted, they’d gone to the toilet and witnesses say a man picked up Kirste. Joanne went to her rescue, so he took her too. Those early days were devastating, but we always thought we’d find her. Now we know we’re looking for a body and we’ve had to come to grips with that. “Occasionally I get down the…

What’s a fast? “Fasting is the avoidance of solid foods for a number of days. It can be as extreme as a water-only fast, or as lenient as one that allows you to have smoothies, broths and essential fatty acids in oil form. Most fasts fall in the middle and include juices, herbs and supplements.” Why is fasting so popular? “The physical benefits of fasting are amazing – and the emotional and mental clarity you feel after a fast is even better! At first you may be a bit emotional, but as everything comes back into balance you’ll feel a wonderful sense of calm and good health.” What’s the point? “Fasting gives your digestive system time off, which means the energy you’d usually use digesting food can be directed towards…

On The Living Room this week we see you in Samoa with Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia. How was that? It’s the most beautiful place. I’m a massive fan of the show, too, so I loved being able to see where they do the tribal council and the challenges. When are you out of your comfort zone? I was on The Project recently with Tom Cruise. My rational brain knew I could sit next to him and ask him questions, but my girlie brain was going, “Oh my God, it’s Tom Cruise!” You still can get thrown sideways with the unexpected! What’s the biggest challenge you’ve ever faced? It took me a long time to become a mum. I went through IVF for a number of years. They were hard years…

Karl’s heartbroken dad Alex Stefanovic has given up any hope he will get to welcome Jasmine into the family or meet the babies they’re rumoured to be planning, slamming his famous son for “ostracising me unfairly”. Their bitter 12-year feud was reignited last week when Karl said he felt “betrayed” by his dad, after he revealed they rarely speak and he has only met one of Karl’s three children. “He’s embarrassed about me because I’m fat, I’m bald and I’m poor,” claims Alex, 70, who rarely sees any of the four kids he had with Karl’s mum, Jenny, insisting they’re ashamed of him. Alex, who separated from Jenny 25 years ago, has given up trying to heal the rift, saying, “How many times can you have your heart broken?” He…

‘It’s allowed me to become the person I am. I wouldn’t change a thing’ Stepping out in West Hollywood last week, Macaulay Culkin was glowing with good health. Dining with actress Brenda Song, his co-star on upcoming movie Changeland, Macaulay, 36, looked clean-cut and appeared happy as the pair animatedly discussed their joint project. Fans were incredibly relieved to see the former child star looking so well – he’s faced tough times since, in his words, he “essentially retired” at 14, after he skyrocketed to fame as a small child, thanks to the success of films such as Uncle Buck, the Home Alone movies and My Girl. At just 15 years old, he sued his warring parents to remove them as legal guardians and take back control of his $21.4…

Wherever you were on that fateful day, it’s almost unfathomable that 20 years have passed since we lost Diana, Princess of Wales. Her extraordinary life – and the unprecedented response to her death – is indelibly inked on our memories. As a journalist working in London at the time, I stood at the gates of Kensington Palace on September 6, 1997, and watched as two bereft young boys, flanked by their visibly shocked father, grandfather and uncle, took the hardest steps of their life, honouring their adored mother who lay in the coffin before them. It was such a heartbreaking spectacle – and as Prince Harry himself has since said, “I don’t think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don’t think it would happen…

“I’m in Dr Liu’s Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic in Chatswood, Sydney for a box of his mysterious (I never find out what’s in it) herbal mixture, after a ‘cupping’ session to find out how toxic I am. “Reaching my ‘optimum’ weight means losing 18kg – from 92kg to 74kg. I laugh nervously as he says I need to fast for four weeks, then follow his program for 101 days. The promise? I could live to 100 years old!” The process “I lasted 12 and a half days. I lost almost 7kg and rarely felt hungry, although day five was a shocker after a night of stomach cramps, listlessness and irritability. “Daily acupuncture and massage, including intense stomach massages, helped overcome the lure of coffee, which hit like a punch in…
