Woman's Day 14 March 2016

If there was a Worst Memory Championship, I’d be odds-on favourite to take the title. Barely a day goes by when I can’t find my keys or phone or some other valuable belonging. I even caught a taxi home from the office the other night because I’d forgotten I’d driven my car into work! If you’re the same, turn to page 34 to read the incredible story of Brisbane woman Rebecca Sharrock, who can recall everything from every day of her life, including when she was just 12 days old! (If you’ve already forgotten, that was page 34!) But my favourite story of the week is our interview with two amazing Aussie women – Drought Angels Nicki and Tash of Chinchilla, Queensland. How they’re spreading hope and love to our…

Oozing confidence, The Notebook beauty may have lost the Oscar race, but comes up a multiple winner in the fashion stakes. Lady Gaga Floating down from a pop-star cloud, Lady Gaga looks every bit the scrubbed-up angel! In her custom-made wide-legged jumpsuit by Brandon Maxwell, she covers all bases by draping it with a cascading white curtain over-skirt. Her transformation from freak-show to sophisticated has been miraculous! Margot Robbie Slitherlicious! Wearing this Tom Ford snake-print extravaganza like a second skin, there’s no denying Margot’s star power. Glitteringly golden from top to tail, her plunging neckline is the…

Leo & Kate FRIENDS TO THE END She dubbed 2016 “Leo’s year”, and Kate Winslet was in full support of her Titanic co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio. Nominated for Best Supporting Actress herself, Kate shed tears when her old mate finally took home first prize. Ben & Charlize HOT NEW COUPLE! These two had everyone talking at the Vanity Fair afterparty. Ben Affleck couldn’t take his eyes off Charlize Theron, an insider reveals. “When she was getting ready to leave, he suddenly made a beeline to leave just behind her.” Jess & Justin MADLY IN LOVE Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake silenced break-up rumours by flirting up a storm on the red carpet.

‘There’s no anger left in him, he’d like nothing more than a loving relationship with Jess again’ James Stewart is nothing if not romantic. The good-looking actor, who swept Jessica Marais off her feet when they co-starred in Packed to the Rafters, has clearly not given up on love, mounting a charm offensive to win her back after their split last year. “I don’t think that James will ever give up on Jess,” reveals a close friend. “You always lash out at those closest to you when you’re hurt, and that’s what James did when they split. But there’s no anger left in him now – he’d like nothing more than a loving relationship with Jess again.” Still holding a torch In a very public declaration of his feelings, James,…

‘Everything has combined to make them realise they need each other’ When Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban have been spotted out in Nashville the past couple of weeks, locals say they’ve never looked happier. “They are holding hands and being very attentive, even when they think no one is watching” a friend tells Woman’s Day. The award-season regulars were noticeably absent from both the Oscars and the Grammys, where Keith was due to present, with sources saying they chose to stay home with their girls Sunday, seven, and Faith, fi ve. Rather than buy into the glitz and glam of Hollywood parties and red-carpet appearances, Nic and Keith, both 48, have been enjoying family routine at home and looking more loved-up than they have in years. Now, insiders…

‘We had one of the farmers come up with tears in his eyes. He was shocked we wanted to help’ Clutching an armful of cucumbers as a gift, Gabrielle Davis arrives at Drought Angels headquarters in Chinchilla, Queensland. “I just came to say thank you,” she says when she sees Tash Johnston and Nicki Blackwell, the “angels” who organised a drop of groceries, animal feed and hay for her drought-stricken Queensland farm. But before the words have left her lips, tears begin to flow. “What they’ve done means everything,” explains Gabrielle, 39, who lives on a remote cattle property 150km south-east of Charleville, with her husband Michael, 50, and their children Samantha, 12, Alexander, six, and four-year-old Oliver. Her stepson Justin, 20, is working on a station in the NT.…
