He rarely comments on his private life, so when Kit Harington’s rep issued a statement addressing allegations he’d cheated on his new wife, the Game Of Thrones hunk meant business. Russian model Olga Vlasova alleges she’d shared a month-long illicit affair with Kit last year during a trip to Luxembourg, while he was engaged to his now-wife, fellow Thrones alumnus Rose Leslie, 31 Olga claims they hooked up again after their June wedding.

A private debate over Katy Perry’s fortune is proving to be the major stumbling block from stopping the singer announcing she’s officially engaged to Orlando Bloom. Woman’s Day can reveal delays in pre-nuptial negotiations to protect the 34-year-old pop diva’s $350 million fortune – and her bruised ego – is driving a rift between the previously blissfully happy couple. Still stinging from her marriage breakdown to British funnyman Russell Brand, 43, Katy’s said to be enforcing a $2 million cheating fine for her next husband. What’s more, she’s apparently adding a $1 million penalty if he leaves her within the first year of marriage.

As Heather Locklear has her involuntary psychiatric hold extended from three to 14 days, disturbing new details about her wellbeing are coming to light. A close friend of the actress reveals her condition is “worse than anyone knows”. Explaining that her dramatic fall from grace is “more than just drugs and alcohol”, the friend adds there are growing fears the 57-year-old former Melrose Place star has a severe mental illness and is suicidal. In a shocking incident on November 18, police were called to do a wellbeing check on the actress at her LA home, and sent her to hospital after she became belligerent.

However, these days Keira takes a more natural approach to her health and weight loss. Last week she told Woman’s Day she’s changed her diet. “It’s a…

He was once a carefree, playful lad until proud parent Ron Miscavige introduced his son David – who was only nine at the time – to Scientology. The loving boy he thought he knew then changed forever. “When I compare the happy, fun-loving boy I raised to the man he has become, the images of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde spring immediately to mind,” says Ron. Rising through the ranks, David, now 58, was declared head of the Church of Scientology in 1986 following the death of founder L Ron Hubbard. Now, Ron gives a brutal and honest insight into his decades as a Scientologist and spills the beans on Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise’s devotion to the church, as one of its most valued members. “Tom looks up to…

When Sharon Spink gave birth to her fourth child, she decided to let Charlotte choose when she wanted to be weaned, but she never imagined she would still be breastfeeding her daughter after she went to school. “It’s nice for the child to be in control of when they want to wean, rather than forcing the issue,” explains Sharon, who gave up breastfeeding in public when Charlotte turned five because of the reaction of strangers. “I have been called every name under the sun. I’ve been told it’s child abuse, I’ve been called a paedophile and told it’s wrong and that I’m a freak. The first time it upset me because I wasn’t used to it, but now it’s water off a duck’s back. “Charlotte knows it’s not true and…

It’s easy to make your own Christmas bonbons, and fun to personalise them for each family member or friend. They can also be the visual stars of your table-setting scheme, thanks to beautiful wrappings and ties. Use colours that work with your tableware, and fill your bonbons with thoughtful gifts your guests will love – a nice change from the typical plastic things in store-bought crackers! It’s also a good opportunity to get the kids involved. Bonbon tips 1 In the time leading up to Christmas, collect the cardboard tubes from rolls of kitchen paper. Cut them to the size you want your crackers to be. Toilet roll tubes are another option, but they are only about 10cm long. Alternatively, you can buy rolls from somewhere like Spotlight.

Home And Away star Ada Nicodemou came under fire from online commentators last week, who accused her of over-indulging in cosmetic surgery. After Ada, 41, shared a selfie of herself with a particularly plump pout on Instagram, one follower cruelly wrote, “Too much filler. You were hot, now you look weird.” Another accused the beloved actress of looking “unnatural.” While Ada has never publicly revealed if she’s dabbled with injectables in order to wind back the clock, in an interview earlier this year she admitted “I just think everyone should do whatever makes them feel good. I have no judgement on [Botox] whatsoever.”…

‘I’ve got the gun and I’m out on the street and they dragged me in’ We’re used to her flawless complexion and blonde locks, but Hollywood glamour Nicole Kidman is virtually unrecognisable in her new movie Destroyer. The actress, who plays an undercover cop in the gritty drama, has totally transformed her appearance for the role – and is already drumming up Oscar buzz. But there was more action off set than on, with Nicole recently speaking out about a terrifying real-life situation during filming. The 51-year-old revealed how she feared for her life when an active shooter opened fire close to the Los Angeles set. “We were in South Central LA shooting and they were like, ‘Get inside, there’s a shooter, a live shooter,’” she said. “I’m like, ‘What?’…

They’ve weathered many storms in their marriage, but according to friends of Dolly Parton and her husband Carl Dean, the latest troubles in their household may finally see an end to the duo’s long-lasting union. Despite having renewed their vows at the chapel in the grounds of their Nashville home in May 2016, to mark their 50th wedding anniversary, insiders say Carl, 76, has finally snapped over his 72-year-old wife’s relentless flirting with other men – and even with another woman, too. And if divorce is on the cards, the split could cost Tennessee’s singing queen more than $500 million! “I love to flirt, and I’ve never met a man I didn’t like,” the 9 To 5 singer once admitted. “Men are my weakness. Short, fat, bald or skinny –…

‘It’s really important as women that we’re gentle with ourselves’ While most Hollywood stars feel the pressure to immediately bounce back after giving birth, Miranda Kerr says she’s in no rush to shed her pregnancy weight. In fact, the 35-year-old Australian supermodel, who welcomed her second son Hart six months ago, has happily embraced her newfound curves. “It’s really important as women that we’re gentle with ourselves and don’t feel like we have to snap back into shape after a baby. It’s OK, I’ve got a mum bod and it’s fine!” says Miranda. Her refreshing confession comes after she slimmed down in record time following the birth of her eldest son Flynn in 2011. Having gained roughly 18kg during her pregnancy, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel stuck to a strict…

Do your research “First, get educated and use yourself as a case study,” says Stephanie. “Observe how your body reacts to different foods and read up on it. Get to know all the various forms of plant-based proteins and alternatives. You need to eat a wide range of foods – not just a few vegies!” Go slowly and start small “Making small, gradual changes to your diet will ease you into plant-based food,” Stephanie tells. “For example, you could switch to a plant milk in your coffee. I like a blend of almond and coconut milk. Or else substitute chick peas instead of chicken in your salad.” Drink lots of water “Drinking water is a great way to curb cravings,” says Stephanie. “You might think you’re hungry and be tempted…

A bitter battle for the children David Beckham appears to be sending a pointed message to his wife Victoria amid their marriage woes – if they split, he wants custody of their only daughter. While the 44-year-old former Spice Girl tended to business in the US last week, soccer star David remained in their native UK, spoiling the seven-year-old apple of his eye rotten. And he made sure her mum knew about it, posting plenty of footage with their pint-sized princess having the time of their lives at an ice-skating rink in London. The 43-year-old also posted a poignant Instagram picture sharing a sweet and tender daddy-daughter kiss. “David and Victoria’s friends are definitely seeing this as shots being fired,” a close insider reveals to Woman’s Day. “Everyone knows David…

Jennifer Garner has been spotted househunting in her Pacific Palisades neighbourhood and insiders confirm it’s for a love nest to share with her new man John Miller. “She wants to sell her place and start fresh somewhere she can call her own to share with John,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “It’s a sensitive situation with the kids because she’s slowly introducing John into their lives out of respect to [ex-husband] Ben [Affleck] and to avoid any heartbreak or confusion. “But Jen’s totally committed to a new start in 2019.

Fans are going to have to wake up to the fact Margot Robbie is shifting her position as one of the world’s biggest actresses. She feels that it’s right she is seen on the same level as Julia Roberts or Demi Moore were for their era. A lot of Margot’s spirit is down to love and the way she feels in her heart. She adores roles where she plays real historic characters – like in her soon-to-be released film Mary, Queen Of Scots – yet also still enjoys the sassy, sexy roles, too. Next year is going to be a huge one for her. I see controversy involving a married actor. I also wonder if she’s to be considered for a part in the next James Bond film? She would…
