It’s just days from the first episode, and Bachie fever has reached all levels of crazy in our office. Host Osher Gunsberg dropped in to see us last week, sending a flurry of single ladies off to apply their lippie. I wish a touch of lippie was my only problem the day I went to shoot Woman’s Day’s episode of the series (it airs Thursday, so tune in!). Me being me, I dribbled a long line of blueberry juice all over my white jacket minutes before the cameras rolled, so I ended up meeting Bachie Richie in an old singlet I usually wear to bed. Classy! Love is in the air elsewhere this week as we celebrate Miranda Kerr’s engagement to her billionaire boyfriend Evan Spiegel (p17), and Pippa Middleton’s…

‘Kate’s incredible success feels unfair to Bec, when she can’t get a break’ When Kate Ritchie made her small-screen comeback for Play School’s 50th anniversary special, one person wasn’t happy about her ratings smash hit – her former best friend Bec Hewitt.

‘I watched this beautiful woman turn into this shell of a person’ Allison Baden-Clay’s cousin Jodie Dann still remembers the phone call that sent her world crashing down around her. It was around 5pm on April 20, 2012, and the mum-of-four was looking forward to a quiet Friday evening. However her daughter Ashley, now 23, was on the line, hysterical, incomprehensible, delivering three words that would change their lives forever… “She said, ‘Allison is missing,’” recalls Jodie, 49. “I’ll never forget that moment for as long as I live. Looking back I can honestly say I was in shock but, sadly, I wasn’t surprised.” The fight for justice Ten days later, and 14km from the home Allison shared with her husband Gerard and their three daughters, her badly decomposed body…

1 Look out for piles of rustling green leaves – these are places that Pokemon may appear. 2 Visit places with multiple PokeStops to find more Pokemon.

‘Waving to the crowd, Christian was comfortable and mature’ Any mother will tell you that trying to get a nice family photo is no easy feat – especially when you have four kids and two dogs to coordinate! So spare a thought for Crown Princess Mary of Denmark who, last week, had the challenging task of getting her brood to pose for the perfect family snap in front of hundreds of photographers. But there was one person who had Mary’s back at the Danish royal family’s summer photo call in Grasten – her son Prince Christian. Mary and Prince Frederik’s eldest child is fast becoming a mature and responsible young man. And it’s just as well because, one day, Christian, 10, will be the king of Denmark. Just like his…

Jane Seymour, 65 The British actress isn’t ashamed to admit she’s starting to get a few wrinkles here and there – in fact, she’s proud of them. “I don’t do Botox, I don’t do any shots or fillers or anything,” Jane said earlier this month. “I’m quite proud of the fact that I’ve got a couple of wrinkles going there. As an actress, I think it’s rather important to show emotions.” Emma Thompson , 57 “The age thing is insane,” says Emma, who’s very outspoken about the pressure Hollywood places on celebrities to retain their youth. Choosing to age gracefully, the Love Actually star admits she doesn’t understand why others don’t embrace their age. “People wanting to be 35 when they’re 50 makes me think: why? Why don’t you be…

If you’d asked Grant Denyer 30 years ago what he’d be when he grew up, he wouldn’t have predicted his success. In fact, the host of The Great Australian Spelling Bee and Family Feud admits he wasn’t always teacher’s pet. “One time I found a golf ball on an excursion and threw it a long, long way. Sadly for me, it landed on my science teacher’s head! Sadly for him, he needed stitches,” reveals Grant, 38, adding that it was a “total accident”. And it turns out that wasn’t the only time Grant, a born performer, had a bit of a run-in with his teachers. Asked what was often written on his report card, Grant reveals: “Would do a lot better if talked less.” And spelling? “I still find it…

1 Ditch your normal cuppa and drink green tea (with a slice of lemon) instead. Research has found that drinking four cups of green or white tea throughout the day can increase your metabolic rate by 100 calories a day. 2 Take a multivitamin every day.

Joking that she never wanted to leave her hotel room and alluding to a future wedding proposal, Pia Miller and her boyfriend Tyson Mullane’s recent Balinese break had all the trappings of a picture-perfect getaway.
