I’m embarrassed to say I have a fetish for coconut milk. I’m totally obsessed with it – not eating it, but buying it – over and over, tin after tin. That, and pasta sauce. And toilet paper. It’s got to the point I have to take one of my kids to the supermarket and make them restrain me in the Asian aisle or I can honestly store enough coconut milk to bathe in! If you’re partial to an overstocked pantry yourself, you’ll love our Pantry Heroes recipe special on page 42. If you have any coconut milk recipes, send them my way… my family will be very grateful for a rest from my Thai curry!…

Kirstie Alley is expanding her property portfolio in Clearwater, Florida – and her $5.7 million purchases are less than a kilometre from Scientology’s Flag HQ. Kirstie, 67, bought her first mansion, boasting six bedrooms and water views, from former Scientologist Lisa Marie Presley in 2000 for $2 million before selling it just a year later. She bought the property back again for $2.5 million in 2008, and her son True, 25, lives in the attached guest house with his family. Now it’s been revealed Kirstie’s quietly scooped up several other local properties since 2014. Not only did she pay $1.6 million for a neighbour’s home, she also put down another $1.6 million for a huge subdivision slated for a gated enclave with eight luxury houses – that will likely be…

Happy Gilmore star Adam Sandler and his wife Jackie didn’t look particularly cheerful on a family day out in Malibu with their two daughters. The 52-year-old actor and his wife of 15 years appeared to be caught up in a feisty verbal feud. “It seemed pretty tense,” says an eyewitness. “They were having what looked like a heated conversation. Jackie was waving her arms and standing her ground while Adam was looking away, taking it.” “Adam doesn’t protest too much and lets Jackie have her say. That’s the dynamic of their relationship. She talks, he listens. When he’s on the set directing he’s boss, but at home he’s a puppy dog,” dishes another source. Adam, on a break from filming Netflix comedy Murder Mystery with Jen Aniston, has admitted his…

He’s been locked in one of Hollywood’s most bitter divorces but as Brad Pitt hits the two-year anniversary of his shock split from Angelina Jolie, sources say he’s finally ready to move on. What’s more, he’s already set his sights on his dream woman – and it’s none other than Aussie actress Margot Robbie! The two have grown close while working together on the latest Quentin Tarantino flick, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which also co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio. “Margot and Brad get along great and their chemistry is off the charts,” an insider reveals. “They’re having a lot of fun working on this together. They’ve bonded over a shared love of motorcycles, and Margot has been showing an interest in Brad’s sculpture work. “Margot is really cool and easy…

Megan Marx and Jake Ellis seemed heartbroken when they announced their split recently. But suspicions have been raised that the Bachelor In Paradise couple, along with fellow Bachelor pair Courtney Dober and Lily McManus, have been faking their splits in a bid to get a second chance at Paradise, which coincidentally started casting last week! Adding weight to the rumours, MAFS star Ryan Gallagher posted a video that showed Jake and Megan partying together in the days after their split, while Lily and Courtney were spotted enjoying a “mate date” after their alleged breakup. Fess up, guys!…

Although Meghan’s one of the most influential people in fashion, it’s Kate who rules the style stakes! She’s had the biggest effect on people’s fashion choices this year, generating more searches on retail site Ebay than her new sister-in-law. When Kate stood outside the Lindo Wing in April in a red Jenny Packham dress cradling Prince Louis, the designer had double the amount of searches for the same frock. Meghan has made an influential imprint, too – her Givenchy wedding gown saw a spike in the designer’s sales. “Meghan’s been the focus of the fashion pages this year but Kate’s distinctive style has long been a hit with shoppers on Ebay,” the UK vice president of Ebay Rob Hattrell confirmed last week.…

She’s not only won the heart of the nation, but the Honey Badger’s, too. He’s growing increasingly smitten with pretty blonde Bachelorette Sophie, and she’s revealed her desire to settle down with the former rugby union star. “Marriage is something I definitely want,” reveals the 25-year-old Queenslander. “My connection with Nick is growing and I’m slowly opening up and becoming a lot more comfortable with him,” she spills. “If things keep moving forward an engagement will definitely be on the cards!” In recent days the property valuer has sparked rumours the pair are already engaged, after being seen sporting what looks to be a large diamond sparkler, cleverly avoiding suspicion by wearing it on her right hand. Sophie also says she knew early on her parents would approve of Nick…

It says everything about John Millman that when he landed in Rio for the 2016 Olympic Games – as a last-minute call-up after household names Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios controversially pulled out of the team – he described representing his country as “the greatest achievement” of his career. Then he got the Olympic rings tattooed onto his right bicep to back up the claim. In a world of bad boys, Aussie tennis officials call his relaxed and humble attitude a breath of fresh air. Now, after a stunning win against tennis god Roger Federer in the US Open last week, nice guy John has become Australian tennis’ newest superstar. Although he can be flashy on the court, insiders say John is nothing but respectful and modest off it. Known…

WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS According to Sydney-based clinical psychologist and expert in child abuse Dr Gerard Webster, teachers who lure and groom students are often deluded and addicted to power. “The vast majority of sexual abuse perpetrated by adults in professional roles goes unreported, and of the few that are, most don’t get raised until a quarter of a century later,” he explains. “Some teachers believe they won’t get caught because they are deluded about the nature of the relationship, thinking the child will remain loyal to them, or frightened of them, forever. “Teachers who groom or sexually abuse children, regardless of whether the teacher is male or female, either fail to recognise the harm that is almost always caused when a child is engaged in sexual behaviours with an…

In 2016, there were 2866 deaths due to suicide in Australia – an absolutely heartwrenching statistic. R U OK? Day is a crucial day on the calendar to help raise awareness and funds for mental health across the country. In a bid to help save the lives of those we hold near and dear, Lysn psychologist Noosha Mehmanli Anzab gives her advice on how to actually ask the question, not only on September 13, but every day of the year. WHAT TO WATCH FOR “The biggest signs to look out for are if the person becomes withdrawn – either gradually or suddenly – by isolating him or herself, avoiding social interactions or no longer participating in activities they usually enjoy,” Noosha explains. “Excessive tearfulness and an overall ‘flatness’ are also…

I see Margot Robbie will have a secret meeting with a star athlete. It will be quite the heated issue. I also see her feeling sick on set soon. This is definitely a pivotal time for her. Thanks to her work on The Wolf Of Wall Street and I, Tonya, she is getting plenty of respect from her colleagues and bosses, which means she has plenty of offers. I see Margot starring in several good film roles, but in her private life I have a slight suspicion she may feel out of step with love – it’s odd, I know! I believe even people close to her don’t have any idea what’s going on.…

He’s known for his commitment to following a healthy lifestyle and a strict Paleo diet but in a surprise admission, MKR judge Pete Evans has confessed to his struggle with drugs as a young chef. “The Gold Coast culinary scene at the time was full of alcohol and speed as the drugs of choice, but in Melbourne it was very different, it was more of the LSD, ecstasy, cocaine and alcohol-fuelled environment that I stepped into as a young 18-year-old,” the father-of-two, now 45, admits. Reading American self-help guru and life coach Anthony Robbins’ book Unlimited Power at the hairdressers got teen Pete back on the right track. “That took me down a different path, so the partying stopped after reading that book,” the celebrity chef says.…

Playboy model Shauna Sexton, who enabled Ben Affleck’s last pre-rehab bender, appears to be back on the scene. Ben, 46, who was driven to rehab by his estranged wife Jen Garner after drinking for three days with Shauna, 22, was back at his LA mansion for a brief visit last week, and witnesses say Shauna’s car was outside. The model is understood to have been waiting at his $19 million home. “The fact he seems to have gone back to Shauna suggests Ben’s treatment isn’t going so well,” a source reveals. “Jennifer must be horrified and embarrassed after going out on such a limb for him.”…

Brad’s not the only one with his eye on Margot. When Leonardo DiCaprio worked with her on The Wolf Of Wall Street in 2013, their intense chemistry sparked rumours of a real-life romance. Margot insisted kissing Leo wasn’t much fun: “There weren’t any [fireworks]. You do the takes in 17 hours, and it’s just hot and sweaty.” But sources say Leo will always have a soft spot for her, and even though she thinks of him as a big brother, “no one can deny their incredible connection”.…

Their romance turned nasty when he alleged she’d physically and emotionally abused him. Now sources are telling Woman’s Day things are set to get even uglier, with Sam Cochrane determined to stop Tara Pavlovic bad-mouthing him on social media. “Sam can’t believe Tara is still making digs at him, when he says he’s the victim of domestic violence,” says our source. “Things have got so bad he’s planning to go to court and take an order out to stop her speaking out about him publicly.”…

KATE BACK ON THE BOOZE After decades of making headlines for her wild behaviour, it seemed Kate Moss had finally put her party days behind her when it was revealed she’d ditched the booze and gone teetotal. But it appears the British model’s newfound love of clean living didn’t last long. According to reports, Kate gave up alcohol a year ago, swapping cocktails for mocktails at events, and staying only an hour before heading home. However, just last week, the 44-year-old Rimmel poster girl was spotted looking worse for wear during a night out – suggesting her sobriety had come to an abrupt end. The turn of events comes in the wake of claims Kate had the support of her boyfriend Nikolai Von Bismarck, 31, who quit drinking alongside her,…

As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex prepare to expand their family, we can reveal the couple have also decided to adopt a labrador retriever. According to reports, the pair have named the pup Oz, which could be a nod to their upcoming first official royal tour – Harry and Meghan will be attending the Invictus Games in Sydney in October. “It’s going to be a special time. It makes sense that they would decide to commemorate the occasion by naming their dog Oz,” says a royal insider. “Meghan loves dogs and Harry is a big animal lover, too. They’d been talking about adopting one for a while.” Meghan already has a beagle named Guy, who she relocated to the UK when she got engaged to Harry but her labradorshepherd…

With rumours swirling about who’s in line to fill the stilettos as a future Bachelorette, Woman’s Day can exclusively disclose that casting is currently underway for Australia’s first Bisexual Bachelorette series and it’s set to hit screens in 2019! And first in line for potential Bachelorette candidates is blonde bombshell Fiona Falkiner! According to TV insiders Fiona’s name has been in the mix for some time due to her association with the network and her popular fan base among both men and women. “She’s smart and beautiful and she represents a healthy and realistic body image,” spills an industry insider. “And she just so happens to be attracted to men and women.” Last year Fiona confirmed her relationship with personal trainer Lara Creber. “It doesn’t matter if you love a…

LINEN Harsh chemicals like bleach weaken linen fibres. A baking soda paste is an easy way to treat the mark. Spot-test on an inside hem as some dyes don’t fast well to linen and may fade. COTTON Liquid stain removers are fantastic for cotton – simply pre-treat the stain and soak in cold water for 30 minutes, machine wash on a low temperature and check, rinse, repeat. SATIN Satin often holds stains, and spot-cleaning can lead to water discolouration. Dry cleaning is best, but if feeling brave, a delicate stain remover free from enzymes is best. POLYESTER Spray a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water and wait for the blemish to lift before washing. For oily stains, use a baking soda paste, while for ink stains, hairspray works…

Jude Law looks to have a few parenting woes at present! The Sherlock Holmes star’s son Rafferty was spotted appearing to inhale a balloon and holding a canister at London’s Notting Hill Carnival. The 21-year-old model was DJing at the event when his controversial action sparked rumours he was taking nitrous oxide, also known as “hippy crack” or “nangs”. The painkiller – a popular high – is banned in the UK, and selling or using the substance can incur a seven-year jail sentence. Police approached Rafferty after he was seen sucking from the bright yellow balloon. Although he’s yet to comment on what happened, sources say he now has his 45-year-old famous father-of-five to answer to! “Jude’s not going to be happy when he sees the photos,” an insider tells…

Married At First Sight’s Carly Bowyer seems to have bounced back from her recent break-up with Troy Delmege as she snuggled up to Love Island Australia’s Grant Crapp, 22, at Melbourne’s Blue Diamond penthouse club last week. Posing for photos, the pair were also seen leaving together. “They were practically inseparable and looked very cosy tucked away in the corner together,” reveals a partygoer. “When anyone asked her about Troy she awkwardly laughed it off – it was clear he was the last thing on her mind!” says the source. Could there be another reality star romance in the works? This isn’t the first time Carly, 33, has sparked romance rumours with another reality star. Last week former MAFS groom Nick Furphy fuelled romantic speculation by posting an intimate photo…

When a tired-looking Julia Roberts hit the shops in Malibu, California with her son Phinnaeus late last month, it was a sign the stress of her troubled marriage to Danny Moder was taking its toll. According to Woman’s Day sources, the actress – who was recently seen leaving her home with a load of boxes – is channelling all her energy into her three kids – twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, 13, and Henry, 11, amid rumours the 50-year-old and her cameraman husband are planning to call it quits. A GROUNDED MUM “Of course she will fight for custody if it comes to that,” an insider reveals. “It’s no secret Julia and Danny have been having problems but she’s determined to not let it affect their kids. She’s putting them first,…

‘She couldn’t handle it when Jarrod would disappear’ When Jarrod Woodgate sensationally dumped Keira Maguire by text and moved out of their Melbourne love nest last month, there was one man waiting in the wings to support him – his close friend Chris Kenny. In fact, it was Chris’ door Jarrod, 31, knocked on when he desperately needed somewhere to stay after he walked out on Keira and their plans to get married and have a baby. Now, sources are telling Woman’s Day that Jarrod’s friendship with Chris was just one of the many reasons for the breakdown of his romance with his Bachelor In Paradise co-star Keira, 31, who became increasingly insecure about how close he was to Chris. “Even though Jarrod was besotted with her, there were real…

Over the past few years, she’s risen through the ranks to become one of the world’s most famous women but Prince Harry’s bride Meghan Markle managed to quite literally fly under the radar when she jetted into Canada to visit her best friend. The 37-year-old flew to Toronto – where she lived while she was in the cast of the hit TV drama Suits – for a mini-break with her bestie Jessica Mulroney late last month. And according to sources the Duchess of Sussex had a clear-cut reason to make the long-haul flight. She has exciting news to share and she wanted to tell her bestie in person – she’s pregnant!

BUY SOME BLINDS To block out the elements that come with each new season, Emma suggests opting for some roller blinds or a privacy screen for your outdoor area. “If the budget allows, this will help to block the wind and rain in winter, plus trap some of the heat of the day to keep it warmer longer,” she says. USE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PRODUCTS Emma suggests installing a combined heater and light product in your backyard, so that while the cooler months are at bay it’s still functional and saves you doubling up on other items. “It gets cooler and darker faster during autumn and winter evenings, so get prepared by purchasing a multipurpose heater and light, such as the IXL Fresco Aurora Outdoor Heater, which has mood and task lighting,”…
