I’m the kind of technophobe who continually pushes “Remind me later” when updates pop up, then end up in tears one day when my laptop loses the plot.

If you’re like me, flick to page 71 where you’ll find a beginner’s guide to the audio trend. Once you’ve got the hang of it, may I highly recommend making your first podcast experience a truly thrilling one by downloading the amazing, irresistible Woman’s Day Uncensored podcast?

She was once one of the most glamorous women in Hollywood thanks to enviable roles on hit TV shows such as Melrose Place and Dynasty. But Heather Locklear has had a devastating fall from grace, and it’s left friends and family holding grave fears for her wellbeing. FRIGHTENING EPISODE Last week, just a few months after she was arrested for allegedly hitting boyfriend Chris Heisser, the 56-year-old star was making headlines all over again. Heather was taken to hospital on June 17 for a psychiatric evaluation after her mother contacted authorities. She claimed the actress was behaving erratically and threatening self-harm. Heather was said to be searching for a gun to shoot herself, and sources told TMZ she’d become violent, hitting her father and choking her mother, who managed to…

With dark circles under their eyes and ashen faces, they looked drastically different from their glamorous onscreen personas as they jetted out of Sydney last week. And it’s little wonder the normally smiling The Voice coaches were keeping their heads down. Insiders say what was meant to be a post-finale celebration ended in fights and chaos when coaches Delta Goodrem and Kelly Rowland got into a row at the show’s wrap party. “Tension had been brewing between them for weeks but it came to a head at the party when Delta accused Kelly of trying to bulldoze her,” an insider dishes to Woman’s Day. “Kelly then accused Delta of trying to push her off the show, saying Delta always wanted to be the star and used the fact Kelly was…

Sometimes silence says more than words or tears. For the thousands gathered in the chilly quiet at vigils across the country reflecting on the brutal rape and murder of an innocent young woman last week, the hush muted a rage and sorrow that won’t go away. Eurydice Dixon, 22, had been doing what every woman has the right to do, walking home after work through the streets she calls home. But mere minutes from her destination, she was brutally raped, murdered and left lying like a piece of discarded rubbish on an oval in Princes Park in Carlton North, Melbourne. Her cries for help were not heard. Instead, she died in the same eerie silence of a bitter winter night as those gathered to mourn her experienced. They stared solemnly…

‘We’re so excited to support Finn on his way to great things!’ With an IQ that’s off the charts, pint-sized Port Macquarie genius Finn Vicars is so clever he skipped four grades of school to learn science with year eight students. “Science is certainly what I excel at and I’ve always been fascinated by it. It comes naturally to me, so even though I’m doing tricky things, I don’t find it too difficult,” he says. Nine-year-old Finn has such a big brain, his classmates often liken him to fictional character Sheldon Cooper, who also skipped four years of school in the hit TV show The Big Bang Theory and its popular spin-off Young Sheldon. “I get called mini Sheldon a lot, especially from older kids I’m friends with,” Finn says.…

MICHAEL USHER, 49 Michael presents Seven News in Sydney on Friday and Saturday nights. He was poached from Nine’s 60 Minutes for a rumoured $1 million salary two years ago, but didn’t burn his bridges and is well-liked and respected by management at both Seven and Nine. He’s a good choice for ACA, combining likeability and gravitas. SYLVIA JEFFREYS, 32 Sylvia is news presenter on Nine’s Today. The wounds from Ubergate (when her husband Peter Stefanovic slammed colleagues) continue to fester, and Sylvia is being quietly tipped internally as the prime candidate to replace Tracy.

Rumours are rife that buff Bachelor Tim Robards is looking for redemption after failing to make it to the end of the Ninja Warrior course last year. And judging by his honeymoon pics, the 35-year-old hasn’t been slacking off from training! While most newlyweds would be overindulging in the finer things – food and wine – Tim has been posting snaps of him working the rings and “reppin’ out” in Europe! Let’s just hope it pays off… Former NRL star Beau Ryan is also planning to return. “People still come up to me from my daughter’s school and say, ‘You’re that guy from Ninja Warrior’,’’ Beau revealed earlier this year. “I’m like, ‘I used to play footy and lots of other stuff as well,’ but they don’t really care about…

‘It was like we had a different child’ ‘It’s not like we said, let’s get our child stoned – he is not stoned’ From the very first day eight-year-old Oliver Brown’s mum gave him a tiny drop of cannabis oil she noticed an amazing difference in her son. “It was like the change in him happened overnight. It was that quick,” says Andrea, who was at her wit’s end wondering what to do about her son’s deteriorating ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Young Oliver first exhibited signs of ADHD as a baby. His condition steadily worsened when he started school in Sydney and he quickly dropped behind his classmates. Hoping a tree change might help, the family moved to the NSW South Coast last year. The teachers at Oliver’s new…

1. LOOK BEYOND SKINCARE We know beauty isn’t just skin deep. So if you’re hoping for complexion perfection through creams and lotions alone, you may want to rethink your approach. Traditional beauty retailers are now stocking a suite of vitamins, supplements and powders to work alongside your skincare – not instead of it. 2. KNOW WHAT’S SUPP! “We may need supplements due to inadequacies in our diet, and this can happen for many reasons, whether it be eating low-nutrient foods, or due to stress, illness or certain medications,” says Go Healthy co-founder Lisa South. 3. TRY THESE SUPERSTARS Lisa swears by vitamin C, zinc and silica supplements to boost the skin’s elasticity, hair, nails and joints, while Vida Glow’s co-founder Anna Lahey credits marine collagen. “I discovered marine collagen while…

I’ve always loved the idea of a cruise. The marvel of a floating city with breathtaking ocean views, endless activities within reach of your room, indulgent brekkie buffets and nightly parties – what could be better than that?

‘Zara is, of course, exhausted from the labour’ Zara Tindall is taking a well-earned rest after delivering the heaviest royal baby in 100 years of record keeping last week. With husband Mike Tindall by her side, Zara gave birth to a girl on June 18 at Stroud Maternity Unit in England, who weighed an eye-watering 4.17kg (9lb 3oz). The little one – whose name hadn’t been announced at the time Woman’s Day went to press – eclipsed the previous royal record holder Savannah Phillips. Her cousin Savannah weighed 3.86kg (8lb 8oz) when she was born in 2010 to Zara’s brother Peter and his wife Autumn. It’s the second girl for Zara, 37, and her former England rugby player hubby Mike, 39, who are also parents to four-year-old Mia. “Mike got…

When Meryl Streep was announced as the latest big name to join the already star-studded Big Little Lies cast, fans were overjoyed with anticipation for the second season. But as Nicole Kidman hinted last week that filming has wrapped, insiders have revealed it hasn’t been smooth sailing on set, with a war of egos causing tension to erupt between the two Hollywood heavyweights. “Everyone was so excited to work with Meryl, but in reality it caused some big drama on set,” one Big Little Lies insider dishes to Woman’s Day. CLASH OF THE TITANS “Meryl is an absolute acting legend and the star of any project she gets involved in. She’s not going to blend into the background just to soothe someone else’s ego.

She failed to conquer the Warped Wall and take the title of Ninja Warrior champion, but Betsy Burnett says she walked away from the show with something even better... love! “That was the last thing I ever expected to happen but it’s definitely the best!” reveals the Sydney-based personal trainer of her romance with fellow Warrior Josh O’Sullivan. “I had seen Josh in the gym a few times and we competed in the semi-final heat on the same day. And once we got talking, that was it!” The active couple certainly surprised their fellow Ninja competitors, who are just as excited by their romance as they are. “We’re all friends and they have embraced us being together and see us as one.” Betsy, 29, and Josh, 27, have been a…

They’re weeks away from celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary, and Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye Smith are proof everlasting love does exist. The couple – who first met 24 years ago – have one of the most rock-solid marriages in Tinseltown. And friends credit down-to-earth Keely for keeping the handsome actor grounded. But for Pierce, 65, Keely has been more than just a humbling force. She’s helped him cope with the grief and devastation of losing his first wife Cassandra Harris to cancer in 1991 – three years before they met. “Cassie was very positive about life. I mean, she had the most amazing energy and outlook on life,” the Irish actor once said. “It was, and is a terrible loss, and I see it reflected from time…
