We’re all guilty of forgetting how good we’ve got it. But with two incredibly strong people in the mag this week, I’ve been reminded how lucky I am. Seven months after he said goodbye to his sister Connie, actor Sam Johnson, together with his big sister Hilde, is continuing her legacy (p24). And our columnist Kerri-Anne Kennerley, now a carer to her husband John, says she’s one of the lucky ones, reminding us of all the young Aussies who become carers before their lives have even begun (p61).

She won over viewers with her wholesome persona in 2009, but MasterChef winner Julie Goodwin, 47, faces court on May 25 after allegedly drink-driving at North Gosford, NSW, at 8pm on April 12. Her claimed blood alcohol reading, 0.107, is more than twice the legal limit. On Facebook, Julie expressed her “great shame and regret”, saying the incident was “completely out of character” and happened after “a celebratory function I had catered”. It’s also alleged she tried to evade the police with a U-turn. Friends say she may be under pressure from a crowded schedule.…

‘She found letters in Shiloh’s room that broke her heart’ They’ve been locked in a bitter custody battle for 19 months, but Brad Pitt is a happy dad once more after finally convincing his ex Angelina Jolie to let him spend more time with their six kids. Until recently, he’s only had limited visits with Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, with Ange maintaining temporary sole custody. But Brad, 54, has won out at last – with help from daughter Shiloh. “Brad pleaded with Ange to let the kids come over more, but she’s been stubborn about it and would only let him see them on court-mandated dates,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “Then she found letters in Shiloh’s room that broke…

Sources close to the couple say their PDAfilled appearance at the Academy of Country Music Awards last week was little more than a showmance for the cameras, as rumours of a marriage crisis continue. “She’s one of the world’s best actresses so pretending to still have chemistry with her own husband is hardly a tall order for Nicole,” says our insider. “But Keith struggles to make it realistic.” Another insider adds of their first outing together in months, “They barely said a word to each other all night, and they went to separate hotel suites as soon as the show was over.”…

TRUTH #1 Nearly every contestant suffered from the dreaded “Fiji belly” in Paradise after brushing their teeth and showering in the water. Keira even got a parasite – and spent Christmas on the toilet! TRUTH #2 Paradise, aka Mango Bay Resort, needed some love itself! “It was a dive. They fully did it up before the contestants arrived,” says a source. TRUTH #3 Contestants were provided with weights and yoga mats for exercise, and they’d often work out together. TRUTH #4 The bar was open from lunchtime to midnight – but contestants would have a cut-off if they’d drunk too much. The guys would order their drinks under Jarrod’s name for a laugh! TRUTH #5 Contestants could order whatever food they wanted from the bar – chicken burgers were a…

According to Diabetes Australia, the number of people being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is on the rise, so it’s more important than ever to know what we can do to reduce our risk. If you’re also already living with the condition, here’s a look at what you can do to lead your healthiest life. FOOD FOR THOUGHT What should you be eating to manage your type 2 diabetes? According to Diabetes Victoria dietitian Jane Robinson, it’s all about balance. “We often describe a balanced meal using the ‘plate model’,” she says. “Half of the plate should be non-starchy vegetables or salad, one quarter of the plate should be lean protein, such as chicken, tofu or fish, and the other quarter should be low-GI carbohydrate (slow-releasing) such as sweet potato,…

FIGHT SICKNESS WITH FOOD Travelling often makes us susceptible to bugs, “so I always ensure I eat lots of seasonal fresh produce that is full of vitamins and minerals. Essential staples I always have on hand include organic bone broth, green smoothies, turmeric and ginger. Hydration is also key for optimal health and wellbeing, so keep up your 1.5-2L every day and increase this when flying.” GET MOVING ON THE GROUND… “Pilates and yoga are fantastic to do in hotel rooms and travelling, because you only need a small space with little to no equipment. After a gentle warm-up stretch session, my five go-to exercises are bridges, squats, wall or floor push-ups, Pilates 100 and bicycle crunches.” ...AND IN THE AIR, TOO! “Dehydration from the dry air of the plane…

Josephine, Tas MITCHELL SAYS Your grandparents from your mother’s side come through with a lot of love for you. They’re keeping watch over you and looking after your cat Buddy.

The real-life story of “Dirty John” Meehan and his partner Julia Newell, who will be played by Connie Britton (Nashville), will be explored in the first season of the show.

They’re usually gushy about each other on social media, but Pia Miller and Tyson Mullane have been oddly absent from each other’s Instagram accounts for months. And now the former Home And Away actress has fuelled whispers their engagement is up in the air when she stepped out in Sydney last week without her diamond ring. If there is trouble in paradise, 34-year-old Pia is doing her best to put on a brave face, posting happy snaps of beach time with her sons Isaiah, 15, and Lennox, 11. “Pia seemed happy to be spending time with her boys, but Tyson was nowhere to be seen,” spilled an onlooker. “She wasn’t wearing her engagement ring, either.” The couple only announced their engagement last November, after almost two years of dating.…

Actress Demi Moore is known for being fond of a younger man – and her date for Gwyneth Paltrow’s engagement party turned out to be no exception. The actress, 55, debuted her handsome new toyboy by arriving arm-in-arm with him for the bash in downtown LA last weekend, but she’s remained tight-lipped on the blossoming romance. “Demi’s been seeing this guy for a few months, but she rarely talks about him. It was surprising to see her take him as a date to such a public event,” says an insider. “She’s been so unlucky in love and so she’s determined to keep this new relationship out of the spotlight. Only her daughters and her closest friends have been introduced to him.” Earlier this year, Demi was linked to Nick Jonas,…

THE NEPHEW Tyler Dooley, cannabis farmer, plans to launch “Markle’s Sparkle”. THE COUSIN Trish says the family is hurting. THE HALF-SISTER Samantha lashed out at Harry last week. THE HALF-BROTHER Thomas says, “Meg wants to be like Diana but she’s not genuine like Diana.” Meghan Markle’s wedding planning has gone from being an exciting, joyous occasion to a right royal nightmare as she continually faces the wrath of relatives she’s snubbed from the wedding guest list. The bride-to-be secretly jetted home to the US to finalise her UK visa application, but sources tell Woman’s Day she used the opportunity to confront several family members after they went public about not being invited to watch her marry Prince Harry, 33. Her half-sister Samantha Grant has been forthright in her criticism of…

Rumour has it, Meg Ryan is planning her wedding to long-time partner John Mellencamp. But the actress’ side of the guest list is looking pretty light on, with family members revealing she’s still cutting herself off from them in a 27-year-long feud. “I follow in the paper what’s going on with Meg,” her 80-year-old father Harry says of being estranged from his famous daughter. “Is she back with John Mellencamp? It would be wonderful [if they got married].” The rift between the 56-year-old rom-com star and her family is so wide, Harry did not even know the name of his 13-year-old granddaughter Daisy! The bitter family feud started in the early ’90s, when Meg’s mother Susan Jordan and older sister Dana took issue with her then-husband actor Dennis Quaid’s drug…

She may be just two, but adorable Arya Bilgin is used to attracting attention everywhere she goes thanks to her massive mane. In fact, her hair is already so long and thick her mother Gonca can braid it and put it in pigtails and big curls, making the tot look twice her age. “She was born with a full head of hair that covered her ears and stood several centimetres off her scalp,” Gonca, 32, tells Woman’s Day. “But unlike other babies, our little girl’s hair never fell out and only continued to grow more rapidly. If we brush her hair, it goes down below her shoulders. It grows so fast and is very thick but soft like baby hair.” The toddler, who hails from Queensland’s Gold Coast, is used…

“Skintoxing is the process of removing pollutants, impurities and toxins that make the skin look lacklustre and dull,” says Ella Bache skincare expert Gina Cook. Here are four easy steps to purify your complexion. STEP 1 “Cleanse in the morning and double cleanse at night. This assists in removing toxin build up.” TRY Bioelements All Things Pure Cleanser, $49.95 STEP 2 “I recommend using an exfoliating peel once a week to refine skin texture, decongest pores and decrease the appearance of pigmentation.

EARS The ears can be highly sensitive. Everyone will like their ears touched differently. Some will enjoy a tongue actually inside the ear, while others will prefer gentle nibbling on the edges and lobes. KNEES The soft skin behind the knees can be an erogenous zone for many. Making soft circles on the backs of your partner’s knees can be a subtle, but lovely turn-on. FINGERS & TOES Sucking fingers and/or toes can lead to sexual stimulation due to the high sensitivity of skin in these areas. BELLYBUTTON The bellybutton is best explored with the tongue – and can be a great “stopover” on the way to exploring further south. NOSTRILS It sounds strange, but the nostrils can also be an erogenous zone. The spiritual/sexual art of Tantra tells us…

TROWELS & FORKS “It’s important to have strong hand trowels and forks to clear away weeds, and a pair of pruners for tidying up your plants or cutting back rampant summer growth,” Stephanie says. “I also have a rake-like tool in my range that enables the raised-bed gardener to break up the soil prior to planting.” GARDEN CLOCHE Stephanie recommends all gardeners have a durable garden cloche in their collection. “[They] protect early basil seedlings, soft lettuces or baby brassica plants from snails and fluttering white cabbage moths,” she says. “A young gardener will also like plant markers and a ball of string for tying up tomato bushes.” STORAGE BAG “These tools need to be kept somewhere. A canvas garden bag with outside pockets keeps everything neatly stowed, and the…

I see a kidnap attempt for PARIS JACKSON, while JANET JACKSON isn’t speaking much to the rest of the family. KARL STEFANOVIC is tired of the media glare on his relationship with JASMINE YARBROUGH.

My girlfriend and I were at the station waiting for someone, and we ended up chatting about our lives.

They used to be inseparable – childhood friends who conquered Hollywood, working the showbiz circuit and gracing red carpets for years as each other’s plus ones. But the beautiful bromance between Ben Affleck and Matt Damon is thought to be over, with Matt moving on to a hotter, younger model – Aussie hunk Chris Hemsworth! For months, Matt, 47, and Chris, 34, have been hanging out as a foursome with their respective wives Luciana Barroso and Elsa Pataky, in both LA and the Hemsworth family’s base of Byron Bay. But tellingly, Matt and Ben haven’t been seen out in public together since early last year – and US sources say the Jason Bourne star’s wife and his PR team have warned him to steer clear of his former best friend.…

His TV “marriage” to 38-year-old Sarah Roza ended in a very toxic split, but that hasn’t stopped MAFS groom Telv Williams from finding love with a new “wifey”. After weeks of speculation, Telv, 33, all but confirmed his romance with blonde bombshell Maddie Carolan – and there’s already buzz he and the former grid girl could be expecting! “Maddie kept covering her stomach by putting her hand over it, and she even asked for a sparkling soda served in a champagne flute,” revealed a fellow guest at a lunch event at Cafe Brass in Melbourne. “Telv couldn’t wipe the smile from his face and people were convinced they’re in the early stages of pregnancy.” But not everyone is happy about Telv’s new romance, with fans jumping to the defence of…

It seems the honeymoon’s over for reality star Alex Nation and her chef fiancee Maegan Luxa, 32, after a friend confirmed they’ve split following a tumultuous few months. “Maegan caught Alex sending flirty text messages to Carlton [women’s league] footballer Jess Hosking last month and she was shattered by the betrayal,” reveals our insider. The 26-year-old mum-of-one’s busy social life is also thought to have been a source of friction for the couple, who got engaged in December after just three months together. “Alex is out living the high life at nightclubs and fashion shows, while Maegan has been staying home taking care of Alex’s son Elijah,” the source explains. “Maegan lost her job due to being unreliable and not showing up, and her family were really concerned that she…

The Olivia Newton-John biopic couldn’t have come at a worse time for the star, who is worried how she’ll be portrayed while continuing to make her health a priority during her breast cancer battle. Sources close to Olivia, 69, say anxiety over the Seven production starring Delta Goodrem has been keeping her awake at night. She’s especially fearful about the effect the series might have on her family, in particular her fragile daughter Chloe. “Olivia’s seen the trailer and hated it. She’s a very proud woman and the last thing she wants is for her life to be raked over by some cheesy made-for-TV production,” says a source. “She hasn’t slept properly since she saw it, and her hubby [John Easterling] is worried about how it’s affecting her.” Industry sources…

She should be focused on filming her hit show Big Little Lies, but a clearly distressed Nicole Kidman is now struggling to deal with her ongoing marriage dramas at work as well as home. Between takes on the set in Monterey, California, Nic was spotted looking visibly upset – and an industry insider reveals the cause was a heated argument she’d just had with husband Keith Urban over the phone, reducing her to tears. The on-set source reveals to Woman’s Day, “She was trying not to cause a fuss, but people around her could hear she was really telling Keith off about something or other. “She hung up, then started sobbing and pacing around.” For months, there have been reports that Nic and Keith, both 50, are on the brink…

While sources tell us Sam and Tara were “at it like rabbits” on the island and Laurina revealed contestants were provided with condoms in every room, there was one couple who definitely weren’t getting frisky in Paradise – Keira and Jarrod. “I think having sex from day dot is inappropriate, and Jarrod felt the same. “We both said it wouldn’t happen in that environment,” Keira, 31, tells us. “If I’m intimate with somebody I want it to be special, I want it to be between me and him – not me and a camera [there were cameras in the contestants’ bedrooms]. It’s a big thing for me.” While Keira insists she and Jarrod, 32, didn’t take their relationship to the next level on the show, the loved-up couple certainly didn’t…

BOY GEORGE: I QUIT! He’s rumoured to be one of the biggest divas on the set of The Voice, with sources telling us he makes “major demands” behind the scenes and has to be reined in by his agents. Now speculation is rife Boy George might be ready to quit the Aussie franchise and jump ship – to the US! Responding to a fan about whether he had plans to join the US panel – which currently includes Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine and Alicia Keys – he wrote “Yes. #Next”. And while Boy George proved to be a hit with viewers last year, his lack of interest in the Aussie show hasn’t exactly gone unnoticed with production. “Boy George seemed totally bored and uninterested during the Blind Auditions,” a source…

Aggressive psychopath A decade has passed since mother-of-two Tracey Greenbury was gunned down by murderer Leigh Robinson as she cowered in her neighbour’s hallway. But sadly, the 34-year-old’s death warrant had already been signed six years before she was born. Back in 1968, Robinson was sentenced to death for the brutal stabbing murder of his 17-year-old ex-girlfriend Valerie Dunn. Despite a psychiatrist warning Robinson was an “aggressive psychopath” who had shown no remorse, he was released after just 15 years – free to do it all again. By the time Robinson began a relationship with the mum from Frankston, an hour south of Melbourne, he had just been released from a second stint in prison, this time for the rape and indecent assault of two underage girls. Although she was…

EMBRACE THE WAVE Your hair is one of your best assets, so why not play to its strengths? “In runway shows across the world, we are seeing the ‘effortlessly undone’ look in hair and fashion – people are starting to embrace their natural locks,” says Kevin. “It’s good to give your hair a break, too, especially if you are blowdrying, straightening or curling every day. Your hair will begin to restore and feel healthier within days.” BUT HOW? It’s important to start with the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. “Once washed, comb the hair to smooth out any tangles, then lightly towel dry before applying a leave-in treatment,” Kevin advises.

My husband John was in intensive care after an accident rendered him quadriplegic. He couldn’t speak so instead he mouthed, “How hard do you want me to try?” We both cried and I reminded him more than 30 years ago I said I would follow him to Antarctica to be with him – and I think this was our Antarctica. Two years on, I adore being with my husband, though being a carer isn’t a job one might always choose. The definition is “to watch over” and “be responsible”. Add deep love, affection, exhaustion, frustration and anger and it might be closer to a day in the life of a carer. Recently I attended a Wayne Grady golf event to raise awareness and money for carers, especially young carers –…
