What do you usually do for a weekend away? Glamorous hotel? Beach visit? Mystery flight? Normally we don’t venture too far but this weekend it’s going to be a first – I’m camping. But rather than doing it in a normal everyday tent (something I would never do – I’m what my husband calls “the most unadventurous person” he knows, terrified of spiders and creepy crawlies!), we’re heading down the coast to “glamp” with a group of friends in some ready-built safari-style tents, complete with beds, and even lights. There’ll be a mess tent for meals, proper showers, a generator (you mean I can dry my hair? Amazing!)… It all sounds like a dream come true for this oh-so-not-outdoorsy person! Call me spoilt, I don’t deny it – I like…

‘We have days when we drive each other mad and want space’ Brad Pitt cut a lonely figure at the Golden Globes in Los Angeles earlier this month, which he attended without wife Angelina Jolie. Skipping the red carpet, Brad couldn’t keep his story straight as to why his wife of 17 months wasn’t in attendance. Sources say he was overheard telling one guest she was busy filming and another that she had a terrible cold and decided to stay at home. Less than a week later, Ange attended the premiere of her movie Kung Fu Panda 3 in LA with five of their six children. Noticeably absent was Brad, 52, and fans were shocked to see how pale, drawn and thin the 40-year-old actress looked. Now sources say the…

‘It’s been made clear to Eugenie that it’s time to knuckle down’ If Princess Eugenie made it her new year’s resolution to rack up more frequent flyer points than her big sister Beatrice, she certainly hit the ground running! Prince Andrew’s youngest daughter welcomed 2016 on a sun-drenched holiday with friends in Myanmar. But she’s got her work cut out for her in the coming months, after Princess Beatrice, 27, was last year labelled the “Holiday Queen” by the British press. Trip count Between them the jetsetting sisters have enjoyed a total of 28 getaways since November 2014. Beatrice, who was unemployed for seven months last year, set off on 18 trips, often joined by her boyfriend, Uber employee Dave Clark, and a host of other famous faces, including Oprah…

Mia Rose Thompson Born December 2, 2015 Weight 3.8kg Length 51cm Wendy Kingston couldn’t believe she was having a little girl, despite finding out the baby’s sex, with her husband, financier David Thompson, at 10 weeks. “I was convinced that I’d be a mother of three boys, every scan we had I was like, ‘Are you sure, are you sure?’” says the Weekend Today newsreader. “So when we actually held her and I could see with my own eyes, I was elated, over the moon.” Surprise package “It’s wonderful having a girl,” she says. “I adore my boys, but it is a bit different having a girl. She’s the apple of my husband’s eye.” Wendy and David welcomed adorable Mia Rose Thompson on December 2, born by caesarean at Pindara…

Shane Warne’s ex Simone Callahan left onlookers envious as she flaunted her incredible bikini body at Brighton Beach recently. The former model, 45 – who’s mum to Brooke, 18, Jackson, 16, and Summer, 14 – credits her size-eight figure to daily running and yoga. She showed off her physique paddleboarding in a navy tankini top and matching bottoms. Powering across the still water, Simone proved a pro at the sport, which has become popular due to the all-over body workout it offers. It’s clearly good for Simone, who displayed her tanned body, toned arms and pancake-flat abs. It’s no wonder she often gets mistaken for her daughters’ sister. When Brooke posted a picture of her with her mum on Instagram recently, a fan commented, “Is that your sister? Sim, you…

TURBULENCE A bumpy flight can send even the most seasoned traveller’s anxiety level through the roof. But turbulence when flying is totally normal and nothing to worry about. “Planes don’t crash because of turbulence,” says Rebecca. “It’s not comfortable but it’s not dangerous. It’s a natural process caused by pressure changes. You can’t guarantee you’ll have a smooth flight no matter what the weather.” STRETCH OUT On a long journey, leg room – or the lack of it – can spoil your trip. Most airlines charge more for emergency exit rows, but there’s another spot that gives extra space without the price tag: behind the wall that divides the economy cabin from business (the bulkhead). “You’ll have a bit more room there,” explains Rebecca. NIX SICKNESS If you’re prone to…

Byron babies! Aussie TV presenter Tom Williams enjoyed soaking up the summer rays with his fashion designer wife Rachel Gilbert and their two children Storm, two, and baby Sloane, 11 weeks, in Byron Bay last week. “We definitely want to have more children,” says Tom, 45, of his growing clan. “I mean, I’d have 10!” Red-hot mama Six weeks after Sarah Harris welcomed son Paul with husband Tom Ward, she made her first public appearance – and she looks amazing! The StudSio 10 host was glowing as she carried her “little mate” through the streets of Sydney’s Lower North Shore last week. “We’re so in love,” the first-time mum, 34, captioned a snap on Instagram after “Pauly” was born. Turtle power! There were plenty of smiles when tennis stars Milos…

Q My granddaughter bought a house with a man and they moved in together. He spends his money on things he wants and is not saving to fix up the house. Do you think they will get married and have a family? And is there a good man out there for me too?

Yes, there is a wonderful man waiting to enter your life, but in…

Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19 Prepare for lightbulb moments. As Pluto taps into your deepest memories, a problem might suddenly make sense; these insightful patterns could also shed light on a health problem, so make a few appointments. Diets and quit campaigns have a great chance of success, especially if you start midweek. Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20 You love to be helpful, but make sure it’s a two-way street or someone could take advantage; at work, there could be an ulterior motive. A search for antiques or homewares could step up as your eye for style sharpens. Beautiful jewellery is hard to resist, but a special piece could prove lucky. Aries MAR 21 – APR 20 Someone special is heading your way, and they…

‘Being happy, being with my kids, the joy they give me … that balances it out’ For superstar Jennifer Lopez, there’s no place like “om”. “I learned Transcendental Meditation this year,” Jen tells us, “because it’s sometimes overwhelming, doing all of the things I do at once.” The past year has certainly been a whirlwind for the busy single mum of seven-year-old twins Max and Emme. She produced the NBC drama Shades of Blue, while also starring as crooked NYC policewoman Harlee Santos in the series. She resumed her position as a judge on American Idol. In November she hosted the American Music Awards. And she’s been rehearsing for All I Have – her residency at the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort and Casino, which kicked off last week. To…

‘I remember thinking,“Is this it?” It was enough to make things click’ Two years ago, tradie Aaron Monckton was working at a job site when he suddenly felt a twinge in his chest. Weighing in at 200kg, the dad-of-one feared the worst. “I remember thinking, ‘Is this it?’” recalls Aaron, 29. “I went to the doctors and thank God the tests came back normal, but it was enough to make things click.” It was the light bulb moment that made Aaron realise he might not be around to see his little girl Hanna grow up. “I want to be there to annoy her for as long as I can!” he jokes. Aaron hadn’t considered his weight a problem before, despite struggling with the manual side of his job as a…

Following news of her engagement to Rupert Murdoch, Jerry Hall, 59, gave us a first look at her very sizable bling last week.

His exes Patricia Booker, Anna Mann and Wendi Deng, are all believed to have signed agreements designed to protect his $12.4 billion fortune. Friends say Jerry and Rupert are eagerly planning a life together. “They’re excited about the future.”…

Kyle Sandilands took aim at rival radio host Rove McManus last week, predicting his days on air are numbered. The Kiis FM host, 44, who is currently king of the airwaves according to ratings, rubbished 42-year-old Rove’s 2DayFM show with Bachelorette star Sam Frost. “Rove will stay for at least a year. They’ll blame that poor girl [Sam] for [bad] ratings so they’ll replace her,” he told Kyle & Jackie O show listeners last week, after tuning into the competitors for the first time. He let loose on Sam too. “She doesn’t have the radio skills. She’s a sweetheart but they will keep blaming people until they realise [low ratings] keeps happening,” he said. “Where they’ve gone wrong with Rove is he doesn’t translate on radio. Most of his humour…

BYO MEALS “It’s absolutely fine. A lot of people want special meals,” says Rebecca. If you’re flying internationally, restrictions on liquids could limit what you can take through. MOVING TO AN EMPTY ROW “It’s a first-come-first-served basis,” Rebecca says. It’s at the discretion of cabin crew, but there’s no harm in asking!

On most long-haul journeys planes are stocked with food for passengers to eat between meal services, so you can graze whenever you feel peckish.…

AMANDA SAYS Two pets that passed over come through first. A dog called Bell, who lived with Janine from a puppy until she passed at 11, speaks when she hears Janine’s voice and tells me she spoke on command. The other pet, Toffee the horse, wasn’t with Janine for long but they had a great connection. Mahla comes through. She’s a bit of a handful, naughty and strong-willed. She tells me she’s doing groundwork with Janine’s daughter even though Janine owns her. Mahla shows me that she trained to be a racehorse and did quite well out of it. She didn’t mind the racing but is happy to be retired now. Mahla shows me she has lower back problems and is receiving Bowen therapy, which helps a lot. She knows…

When Nicole Kidman stepped out to attend a UNICEF event in Beverly Hills last week, onlookers couldn’t help but notice her slender frame. In a dress with a plunging neckline and high slit, the 48-year-old revealed her incredibly toned physique. Th e Grace of Monaco actress has always been healthy. But sources say she’s taken it to the next level, with two huge workouts as day – and husband Keith Urban is begging her to slow down. “She’ll run for an hour in the morning and again in the afternoon, or hit the gym,” an insider reveals of Nicole’s routine. “Maybe she’ll have her personal trainer over or do hot yoga, too. It drives Keith crazy because Nicole builds her whole day around her exercise plan.” Keith, 48, fears Nicole…

She famously shed 30kg on The Biggest Loser, propelling her to fame as an international model and landing her a hosting job on the same show that made her famous. But while Fiona Falkiner has carved out an impressive career, the single beauty was missing one thing – someone to share it with. “I was dating a guy overseas who seemed supportive of my career and travelling, but it turned out he couldn’t cope with it,” the 33-year-old tells, adding that the relationship ended when she got an offer to relocate from London to New York. “I’ve poured so much energy into my body and my career, but I’ve decided my love life needs a little bit of work.” Ready for Mr Right After a Christmas spent with her nieces…

‘Leo was giving her the full charm treatment and she gave it right back!’ Jennifer Lawrence is exactly the type of girl Leonardo DiCaprio likes to date. Not only is she young, fun and blonde, the 25-year-old actress is also incredibly talented and often described as “one of the boys”. So it came as little surprise to many fans when the A-list pair were spotted hanging out together at the Golden Globes earlier this month. Now Leo’s friends say the Revenant actor is on a mission to date the Hunger Games star. “Leo’s had a crush on Jen since the 2013 Oscars,” a source tells Heat. “Jen always thought Leo was cute, and after seeing each other again at the Globes, the chemistry clicked. They talked for a long time.…

Singer Natalie Imbruglia looks to be following in the footsteps of close friend Kylie Minogue by stepping out with a man almost 20 years her junior. While Kylie, 47, is rumoured to be engaged to actor Joshua Sasse, 27, Natalie has been linked to handsome Swiss footballer Raphael Spiegel. The Aussie beauty, 40, and the West Ham goalie, 23, were snapped taking a stroll in London’s Notting Hill, where Natalie lives.
