They first met earlier this year, when Ros Packer showed her support for her future daughter-in-law by attending one of her concerts. Now, as Mariah Carey gets serious with planning her upcoming wedding to Ros’s son James Packer, the women are spending more time together than ever before. But despite the fact they’re soon to be family, Mariah and Ros are worlds apart. While 78-year-old Ros would never be seen in public with a hair out of place, her future daughter-in-law, 46, is the ultimate pop princess. Opting for skin and sequins over prim and proper, Mariah couldn’t be further from regal Ros, who’s done all she can to avoid the spotlight and focus on charitable work, even during the 42 years of her marriage to late media tycoon Kerry…

Wrapping her arms around her big sister Lily, it’s clear little Ava Thomas already adores her older sibling. But at 23 months, Ava doesn’t yet understand how lucky she is to have Lily watching over her. Born with a rare and incurable genetic condition, Ava’s only hope of long-term survival was a bone marrow transplant. When doctors identified Lily, 10, as a matching donor, the brave youngster from Freemans Reach, NSW, didn’t need to be asked twice. “Of course!” she said without hesitation. Coming to Ava’s aid Not that the girls’ proud parents Lina and Alex were surprised. “The more you get to know Lily, the more you realise you wouldn’t expect anything else from her,” says dad Alex. “She’s got a heart of gold.” At 10 weeks, Ava was…

She recently told Woman’s Day in an exclusive interview that she keeps her dates discreet and in “dark corners”, hoping to keep her love-life private. So fans of Sunrise host Samantha Armytage, 39, were quick to jump to conclusions when she was spotted getting cosy with a mystery man in Sydney’s Hilton Hotel last week. The pair enjoyed an intimate chat in a hidden part of the bar. He was later revealed to be former first grade rugby union player Ryan Rogan. While fans of the breakfast TV host were hoping the evening might result in a new romance, onlookers say the pair left separately. And while Ryan certainly looked dashing in his suit, friends say it’s likely he and Sam were simply enjoying a drink together.…

She split from her husband Braith Anasta in December after three years of marriage, and it seems Jodi Gordon is now back on the dating scene. The actress was seen talking closely with wealthy businessman Jason Huljich in Sydney celeb haunt Mrs Sippy. Rekindling her love of multimillionaires, Jodi, who was once engaged to media heir Ryan Stokes, is said to have been very taken with the CEO of Centuria Capital, despite leaving later that night with her girlfriends. New Zealander Jason certainly has an impressive pedigree – his family has a fortune estimated at $125 million and his sister Rachel is a former Miss World contestant! And while Jodi, 31, clearly has a type, so does Jason. He’s a renowned ladies’ man and has been linked to a string…

Imagine waking up every morning to the sound of your alarm, excited and happy to be starting a new day. When you look in the mirror you admire your body. Everyone tells you how great you’re looking and asks what your secret is. Sound too good to be true? If you, like many other women, don’t feel this way, you may have a hormonal imbalance.

If you feel tired all the time, crave sugar, use alcohol and coffee to lift yourself, retain weight around your middle and feel the cold, you could be suffering from this problem.

AMANDA SAYS Song shows me he was a miniature horse who has passed over. I feel he was only young when he passed, and Song tells me he was only about eight years old and he’d been with Raelene for about five years. Song tells me he’d been training with Raelene for some events and he was very intelligent. He says he had a problem with his stomach and it was all quite sudden. It was the second time his stomach problem had occurred – the first time it was sorted out. He first had issues in November last year then again in February this year, resulting in his passing. A living horse called Chilli comes through and tells me he misses Song very much – they were together for…

‘It shows how highly the Queen thinks of Camilla’ She’s adored by Queen Elizabeth, and together with her husband the Duke of Cambridge, she’s been credited with improving the royal family’s popularity in the UK and beyond. So it came as a surprise to the Duchess of Cambridge when Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, was granted a special promotion – one that suggests she’s certain to become Queen alongside her husband Prince Charles. For Kate – who many have speculated is on a fast-track to taking the crown – the move comes as a huge blow. Modern move The Queen has made Camilla a member of the Privy Council, her most senior advisory body, a sure sign she’s preparing her to lead the monarchy. The move is unprecedented in modern…

Amid persistent rumours Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are facing marriage problems, Brad, 53, has been living more like a bachelor than a married father-of-six recently. The pair haven’t been spotted together for weeks, but Brad’s been seen flying solo at a series of motor shows. Following his appearance at Le Mans car race in France last week, he spent a leisurely Sunday at the Born-Free Vintage Chopper and Classic Cycle Show in California, where he happily posed with a bevy of scantily-clad blondes. The photos are decidedly out of character for Brad, who usually keeps a safe distance from female fans out of respect for Angelina. It’s no surprise Ange, 41, who has been in New York with their kids, isn’t impressed by Brad’s lothario behaviour. Her possesiveness has…

They’re the photos sure to break Katie Holmes’ heart. Last week, just days after his good friend Claudia Jordan confirmed speculation that he’s dating Katie, 37, Jamie Foxx was seen holding hands with a mystery blonde. She and Jamie, 48, were spotted in the lobby of the Shelborne Wyndham Grand hotel in Miami after he’d attended a charity event. They were certainly dressed up for a glamorous night, with the Oscar winner’s companion wearing a floor-length black gown and a plunging neckline. Rumours of Katie and Jamie’s relationship first surfaced in 2013. In March this year, after months of both actors wearing what looked to be wedding bands, insiders claimed they tied the knot. “Jamie brings out the best in Katie,” a friend said. “She’s more carefree and confident in…

Forget about juice fasts – the most winter-friendly way to banish the bloat, drop a few kilos and boost your health is souping! Not only is soup low in fat, but it fills you up for longer because it takes up more room in your stomach than if you ate the same foods dry. The other beauty of a soup cleanse is that you get all the benefits of a traditional juice cleanse – think more energy, better skin, and improved digestion – by eating the foods you crave at this time of year. There’s nothing better than filling up with a warming bowl of soup when it’s chilly outside. OK, so you don’t get bread on the side with this plan, but you will get a spring in your…

It will encourage your skin cells to renew, stop your hands from cracking and prevent redness. Moisturise Not sure if your skin’s dehydrated? There’s a good way to tell.

It’s the debate that polarises dog owners – to clothe or not to clothe their furry friends? Some believe that a snuggly jumper is just what their pet needs to keep warm, while others argue that they were already born with their very own winter coat – their fur! But now the weather’s taken a chillier turn, I’m going to settle the argument once and for all. AREN’T DOGS BORN TO HANDLE THE COLD? While most breeds can manage in the cold – much better than we humans can – the cold-coping mechanisms of a thicker coat, thicker body fat and circulation changes (seen in snow dogs, for example) takes many months and even years to develop. Dogs that are suddenly sent outside when they’re not used to the cold…

‘It’s the best gift he could give Bec – to put her ahead of tennis after all these years’ With a golden glow and a huge smile, Bec Hewitt, is a picture of health and happiness. Her husband Lleyton has finally delivered the news the devoted mum had been hoping to hear for months. The fiercely patriotic tennis legend relented last week, and told Bec he will sacrifice his Rio Olympics dream to keep alive her hopes of having another baby.

She’s been living it up on a two-month hiatus from her job at a fashion investment company in New York. Not content to remain in the UK for her lengthy break, Princess Beatrice, 27, jetted off to Monaco for a sun-filled getaway on a luxury yacht. Accompanied by her boyfriend Dave Clark, 32, and a group of friends, Beatrice – who enjoyed 18 international trips last year alone – made a splash as she jumped off the deck in a skimpy bikini.

After her own daughter – her ‘beautiful failure’ – struggled with school, author LUCKY CLARK questioned the education system, and found some surprising answers. 1. DON’T worry about rankings, or compare your child to others on the basis of grades. Many kids have strengths that aren’t measured by school systems. 2. DO talk to teachers about what engages your child, their strengths, and about how they learn – not just their grades. 3. DON’T let homework become a point of conflict or a dreaded chore, and definitely do not DO your children’s homework. 4. DON’T fixate on outcomes; think more about the process. Focus on promoting your child’s love of learning. 5. REMEMBER your child has only one childhood, and only one adolescence. Adult worries are for adulthood. Lucy’s book…

Nicolas Cage’s third marriage is over, with a spokesperson for the actor confirming he and wife Alice Kim separated in secret six months ago. And last week, just days after the announcement, Nic was caught sharing an intimate kiss with another woman. The actor, 52, was looking very cosy with the kimono-clad woman in Studio City, gently stroking her face and leaning in for a tender kiss on the lips as they dined out, before they left together. Nic isn’t the only one moving on. Alice, 32, was seen getting cosy with Carl Foglietti, a handsome Nevada local who manages upscale restaurant Grape Street Cafe, while Nic was in Cannes promoting his latest film Dog Eat Dog in May. “They were sitting on stools at the corner of the bar,…

‘I have [lost weight], but I’ll be back again. I’ll be up, I’ll be down, probably for the rest of my life’ ‘I feel sexiest when I feel comfortable’ She’s looking happy and healthy, but actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy admits to struggling with her body confidence in the past. “I’ve been every size in the world, from a six to a 22 and it was mind-blowing how, at a certain size, clothes just became tarp with a hole in it” she says. “I couldn’t ever put anything on and be like, ‘I love this!’ All I could say was, ‘Well, it’s on and it’s not a garbage bag.’ I was like, ‘I feel bad. I feel bad about myself’ and it just wasn’t me. It took away my love…

 Hook- Booze bans Shagfests! ‘Even though they knew they were playing with fire, he couldn’t help it’ They’re known for their killer vocals and explosive on-stage performances, but behind the scenes is where the real fireworks are going off for The Voice contestants.

‘How lucky I am to have Ollie filling my life, house and heart with so much joy’ She’s received overwhelming support in her mission to raise $1 million to fight brain cancer. But for Carrie Bickmore, there’s one person in particular who has been with her every step of the way. “Ollie rocking his beanie in honour of Greg,” the proud host of Ten’s The Project wrote on social media last week next to a snap of her boy. “We’ve been overwhelmed… the beanies are flying off the shelves.” Strength in dark times Six months ago, Carrie decided she had to make a stand and take action against the insidious disease that stole her husband and Ollie’s dad, and has broken the hearts of so many families.

Shaping The right arch gives you an instant face lift! Turn over to find the perfect shape for your face To make sure your brows are right for your face shape, follow the “brow mapping” technique. • “Use a pen to line up the outside crease of your nostril and the inside corner of your eye – where your brow should start,” says Hannah. “Then, move the pen so it lines up directly through the centre of your pupil – this is the highest point. Finally, swivel the pen to line up with the outside corner of your eye, where your brow should end.” • To define your shape, tweeze any strays below the bulk of the brow, then brush the hairs upwards with a brow comb and trim any long…

Q Three years ago I lost a gold ring I’ve had for 40 years – it was a gift from my mum. Can you see where it is? Hopeful You haven’t lost the precious ring – you’ve simply misplaced it. You’ll find it wedged between some old photo albums or letters that are kept in an obscure box. If you put your thinking cap on and do another search it will “call” out to you.
