In the seven years I’ve been editing Woman’s Day, my list of celebrity crushes has grown to include not just men, but women, children, even pets (see Wills and Kate’s addition to the family on p83!). This week we got talking about our girl crushes. Mine? Hands-down Charlize Theron. Claire’s is Kate Moss, Emma’s is Kristen Stewart, and Laura has been girl-crushing on two female celebs who never even occurred to me, Penelope Cruz and Rose Byrne. It all came about because we’ve unanimously agreed that Today newsreader Sylvia Jeffreys can do no wrong in our eyes. Not in a creepy way, but in a love-to-have-a-drink-with-her way! And now, after she’s opened up about her romance with co-host Pete Stefanovic (p24), we love her even more! So there you have…

‘Everyone knows things are likely to become nasty between them’ When Ada Nicodemou was photographed at Sydney Airport last week with her bags packed, there was only one thing on her mind – getting as far away from Australia as possible. Still dealing with the fallout from her marriage breakdown and desperately needing a break from the stress of co-parenting, Ada, 39, couldn’t wait to escape with son Johnas and her mum, Jenny, for four whole weeks. “I’m going to have a rest. I’m going to go and have four weeks off and just sit on a beach with my little boy,” she revealed in an interview. “He’s never been to Cyprus before and all of our family is over there, so it will be really nice for him... I’m…

They’ve been plagued by divorce rumours, but Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Moder looked relaxed and happy while enjoying a Hawaiian getaway with their kids, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 11, and Henry, who turned nine last week. The couple, who stole a kiss on the sand, are preparing to celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary on July 4. Insiders say the usually strict Julia, 48, has been less serious with their children, too. And Danny, 47, is loving her new, relaxed approach. “Danny is a big reason why Julia has given up on trying to control everything they eat, watch and play,” an insider says of the family. “It’s important to him that they have a normal childhood.”…

 They looked like any other normal couple enjoying a leisurely stroll around the Big Apple, so fans are now wondering if Jake Gyllenhaal and Rooney Mara are more than friends, after they were spotted together last week. He’s ready to settle down and have children Jake, 35, and Rooney, 31, haven’t starred together in any movie to date, but the A-list heavyweights were deep in conversation, suggesting this wasn’t just a chance meeting. Handsome Jake is notorious for dating A-list ladies – he was with Kirsten Dunst for close to two years and also dated his co-star Reese Witherspoon from 2007 until 2009. He was in a brief relationship with Taylor Swift in 2010, before dating model Alyssa Miller in 2013. Despite his turbulent romantic history, Jake revealed last year…

Jennifer Aniston, 47, did little to silence rumours when she stepped out in New York last week using every available option – bags, jackets and more – to hide her stomach. It comes after Woman’s Day revealed that Jen and her husband Justin Theroux, 44, are expecting their first child. It’s a dream come true for the Friends star, especially after losing her mum Nancy Dow last month. Despite a rep insisting that Jen isn’t expecting, her attempts to cover her midsection have confirmed what many fans always believed to be the case – that she’s not yet 12 weeks pregnant and therefore isn’t ready to announce her news. The couple appeared to be celebrating when Jen was spotted looking bumpy on a romantic getaway with Justin in the Bahamas…

‘Jessie is so terrified of dying, she has to have everything in her life just so’ Jessie J isn’t one to give up without a fight. But the British pop star, known for her big mouth and even bigger personality, has decided to walk away from The Voice after two years. “Jessie has had enough ” our on-set source spills. “She loves working with the contestants, and she loves being in Australia – but she’s fed up with all the politics. “She can’t even invite her team to her house without an internal review. And she’s had enough of the ongoing tension with Delta. They put on a good front for the cameras, but the truth is they never talk ” Living under a cloud But those in the know…

Georgia Love has been forced to defend her decision to go on The Bachelorette after her exes Wade Seaford and Matthew Garwood dished the dirt on their relationships. “My relationship history is coloured ” the star of the show, set to air later this year, admits to Woman’s Day. Georgia’s comments come just days after former The Voice contestant Matt said he believed she’d applied to the show to boost her media profile. Meanwhile, Wade claimed he dated her for two-and-a-half years, only to call it quits after he found out that she’d been cheating on him. “She is very manipulative and she’s got that personality where she can be manipulative without you even knowing,” he says. Fans also questioned her integrity after she revealed she’d quit her job as…

FOR CROW’S FEET & DARK CIRCLES Your eyes are the first place to reveal signs of ageing, stress and fatigue, so it’s worth investing in a potion designed specifically for this delicate area – normal face creams are too intense. For an eyelift effect at home, look for a multi-tasking product such as Skin Physics Advance Superlift Eye Contouring Serum $69 with ingredients like peptides to support collagen production and smooth out crepey skin, and marine actives to combat dark circles and puffiness. FOR SAGGY SKIN Gravity, facial fat loss and weakened muscles all contribute to the slackening of the skin on your face. Try a product that improves the appearance of facial contours and promotes elasticity, and contains firming ingredients such as bee venom (a favourite of Duchess Kate’s).…

Your looks aren’t the only thing that change as you age. Hormonal and metabolic changes can have a big impact on your weight, too. Dietitian Dr Carrie Ruxton believes that as you age, your diet should evolve to be richer in important nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids. By eating right for your age you can stay slim and feel more energetic in the process. Here’s how to eat to feel fabulous at four key stages of your life. IN YOUR BUSY 30s WHAT’S GOING ON At this age, most women are busy with family or work – often both – and, while our bones are still developing and hormones are fluctuating, research shows that only four per cent of us eat the recommended…

Cancer JUN 22 – JUL 23 Feel a buzz? Emotions are surging (and opinions flying!), but as next week’s new moon draws closer, a fresh sense of energy and optimism should infuse your chart. If an urge to declutter strikes, grab some garbage bags. Make space for new people, possessions and projects in your life. Leo JUL 24 – AUG 23 An urge to look inwards will be strong, so don’t force yourself to be social. Anger could flare as underlying issues are dredged up, but expressing your deeper feelings should be cathartic. On the health front, Sunday’s stars might bring a moment of clarity – and a fresh, more holistic approach. Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23 As your social skills surge, people reveal all sorts of things, but…

‘It’s shown me there’s so much to look forward to’ It was a mini-me face-off when Perth’s Pavlenko quins walked into the Tucci family’s living room and saw five quin babies squawking in their bassinets. “We were so stoked to hear there was a second set of quins in Perth” beams Breeanna Pavlenko, 27, who along with her siblings Josh, Aimee, Jess and Sarah made headlines when she was born on January 18, 1989. Matchy-matchy! Five months ago, on January 28, WA welcomed its second set of quins. Kim Tucci gave birth to Penelope, Allie, Keith, Tiffany and Beatrix at King Edward Memorial Hospital – the very same hospital as the Pavlenkos! Bizarrely, the Tucci quins also had the same gender split: four girls and one boy. “It’s amazing that…

Selma Blair has sparked fears for her wellbeing, after she had a meltdown on a flight from Mexico to Los Angeles last week. A fellow passenger alleges the US actress placed a pill in her wine glass, before reportedly screaming, “He burns my private parts. He won’t let me eat or drink... He beats me. He’s going to kill me.” She was later treated by nurses upon arriving in LA. Late last week, Selma apologised for mixing alcohol with medication. “I take this very seriously, and I apologise to all of the passengers and crew that I disturbed… I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes and am filled with shame… I am truly very sorry,” she said. The 44-year-old was accompanied on the flight by her son Arthur,…

She claims men are intimidated by her – “No one ever asks me out. I’m lonely every Saturday night” – but it looks like Jennifer Lawrence may have found a suitor brave enough to woo her. According to reports, the Hunger Games star, 25, is dating British DJ Calvin Harris. The fledgling romance will cause a stir in Hollywood circles, after Calvin, 32, recently split from pop star Taylor Swift. And while Taylor, 26, has quickly moved on with man of the moment and Bond hopeful Tom Hiddleston, 35, rumours of a rivalry between Taylor and Jennifer have persisted for years, despite Jen publicly claiming to be a huge fan of Taylor’s music. Something tells us Taylor won’t be impressed that Jen’s moved in on her ex so quickly! Calvin…

‘I owed it to the school, it had been a privilege to lead them’ Jake Bailey had just three weeks to live when he delivered his high-school graduation speech from a wheelchair – courageously fulfilling his duties as head boy despite having a rare and fast-growing form of cancer. Yet seven months on, Jake’s proved his doctors wrong. He’s in remission and has moved from his home in Christchurch to the Gold Coast with his girlfriend, where he’s making the most of his second chance at life. “It’s been great to have some distance and the opportunity to clear my mind – a bit of a fresh start” the 18-year-old reveals exclusively to Woman’s Day. “I’m in a good place and I’m grateful for the time I have. Every day…

He famously starred as Benjamin Button – who ages in reverse – and it looks as though life is imitating art for Brad Pitt! All eyes were on the 52-year-old actor, when he stepped out at the 84th annual 24 Hours of Le Mans racing event in France last week, looking incredibly handsome and decidedly fresher than he has in recent months. He’s perfect! Woman’s Day can reveal when it comes to Brad’s rating on the hot scale, it’s all about the hair. Serving as official starter at the racing event, Brad debuted a fresh new cut – and it had all the ladies talking. The classic look is a far cry from some of his previous ’dos – everything from bleaching to a combover, even dreadlocks! We’re not complaining…

‘It was all fake. Life is not like what you see on a screen or in social media’ They shared a fun-loving, toe-tapping, mutually admiring relationship on screen as partners on Dancing with the Stars. But away from the disco ball and sequins their roles would reverse, and Kerri-Anne Kennerley would coach Carmelo Pizzino. Her field of expertise was the game of life – and her wisdom has ultimately kept the talented dancer alive. “She’s like my second mum ” reveals Carmelo, 42, who would turn to the bubbly blonde during his frequent dark episodes. “Kerri-Anne became the one person I opened up to. She knows me back to front” he says. Living just around the corner from the 62-year-old personality in Sydney, Carmelo says their friendship extended way beyond…

‘She’s come out of this a whole new woman’ There’s nothing like the impending wedding of one of your children to inspire a mum to get in shape, and 62-year-old mining billionaire Gina Rinehart has certainly stepped up to the plate. With daughter Ginia set to marry her former bodyguard – known only as “Simon” – in a top-secret ceremony any day now, Gina has shocked family and friends with her dramatic weight loss. “She’s been quietly losing weight for nearly two years,” one friend revealed. “But it’s only recently that it’s become so noticeable.” Gina may be one of the richest women in the world, renowned for her hard hat and even tougher reputation. But beneath the bravado and the multi-billion-dollar bank balance, the super-private mother of the bride…

‘You just want the feeling you have someone you can make a plan with’ It’s never easy watching an ex move on, especially when you still have feelings for them. So when Danielle Spencer confirmed her relationship with novelist Adam Long earlier this month, her ex-husband Russell Crowe was heartbroken. But the Hollywood actor – who split up with singer-songwriter Danielle in 2012 after nine years of marriage – appears to have got his own back. Last week he was photographed leaving a Coldplay afterparty in London with two mystery women – one of them bearing a striking resemblance to his former wife. Revenge is sweet Proving that revenge is a dish that’s best served smokin’ hot, the Aussie star looked in his element as he laughed and joked with…

Following Woman’s Day’s exclusive report on the Church of Scientology’s new facility in Sydney last week, sources reveal Hollywood’s most notorious follower, Tom Cruise, is desperately trying to recruit Margot Robbie to be the face of the church in Australia. Tom, 53, met with Margot twice in London in recent weeks, ahead of completion of the centre in September. “He’s been talking to her about starring alongside him in Top Gun 2,” a source tells. “She’s the hottest actress on the planet right now and she reminds him of Kelly McGillis from the original film.” Margot, 25, is said to be “very excited” at the prospect of headlining with Tom in the sequel, but it’s not all Tom is hoping she’ll agree to. “He’s been telling Margot how she can…

If Taylor is put out by Jen and Calvin’s hook-up, she certainly wasn’t letting it show when she and new beau Tom danced the night away at Selena Gomez’s concert in Nashville. Keen to prove Tom is totally smitten, Taylor was spotted packing on the PDA in the stands with the suave English actor. The new couple looked hot and sweaty when they left the arena hand-in-hand at the end of the night, after Tay sang along to her best friend Selena’s tunes.…

‘Shane is smitten with Kathryn and he’s not afraid to show it’ When you’re a teenager, being embarrassed by your parents is a daily occurrence.

The renowned playboy, 46, has been spotted on several occasions with a leggy blonde in London. Last week, this latest conquest was identified as 20-something American law student Kathryn Long, who’s just half his age! “Shane and Kathryn have really hit it off” reveals an insider. “She’s only in her twenties so she’s a lot younger than he is, but the age difference doesn’t bother them. “Kathryn is from Orlando, Florida, and is in the UK to study…

Turning 18 is a huge milestone in any young person’s life, but for Bindi Irwin the special occasion is going to be even more exciting. Sources have confirmed to Woman’s Day that the wildlife warrior’s boyfriend, Chandler Powell, is planning to pop the question after flying to Queensland from Kansas to take part in Bindi’s birthday celebrations at Australia Zoo. Insiders say the 19-year-old American wakeboarder has spent a number of weeks shopping for the perfect ring to present to Bindi on July 24.

AMANDA SAYS Winston tells me he’s just had an operation and they removed part of his spine. He tells Sharon he’s healing well and the operation has helped his mobility. Winston isn’t happy he has to stay indoors a lot and isn’t allowed to walk or run yet, but he thanks Sharon for giving him the chance to walk again. He tells me he’s only three and quite upset that he has to go through all this at such a young age. Since the operation, Winston has become very strong-willed and stubborn at times. He has also become very protective of Sharon as he feels he can now take care of her. Winston shows me that he suffers from an allergy to pollen and this also makes him cranky. In…
