‘They still love each other… but the outlook is bleak’ When Julia Roberts burst into tears while filming last week, there was no more hiding the anguish that has been consuming her. Between takes on her new film Wonder, the actress was inconsolable, leaving her co-star Owen Wilson and crew members bewildered. The Oscar winner is renowned for taking her work seriously, so it’s unlikely she’d break down unless she was incredibly distressed. Now, it has been revealed that Julia, 48, and her husband Danny Moder are reportedly days away from a split. A second chance?

SWAP YOUR COLOUR like Eva Longoria If you’re keen to make a big impact, dyeing your locks a few shades lighter than your natural colour is the way to go, a la Eva. If you’re on the lighter side, brightening up your natural blonde or choosing warm caramel tones works well, too. “Going lighter in winter is a great way to break the rules because everyone else does the opposite,” says Aleks Abadia, hair director at Esstudio Galleria. “It also brightens and softens the face, particularly at this time of year when skin can look dull and tired. Highlights around your face and neck pep up your complexion and fade lines so you look younger.” Aleks suggests an overall colour lift with lighter bits around your face. “Leave your roots…

‘It would be hard for me to bite my tongue if someone was annoying me’ This is an unusual role to see you in – what has been the toughest aspect of hosting Australian Survivor ?

As the numbers started to dwindle and tribes began to merge, it became a little more manageable. I found Tribals tricky and I always hoped they were going to get easier, but they never did. The US series is known for having plenty of fireworks and drama. How do the Aussies compare? There are just…
