When I think back to my university days or time off work for maternity leave, I have some very fond memories of my daytime TV friends – Jerry Springer saw me through many a study break, and Dr Phil was excellent company as I breastfed and snacked on Vegemite crackers. But nothing beat settling in for a bit of Judge Judy and watching her berate those criminals until they cried!

In what can only be described as a case of extreme road rage, Mel Gibson has lashed out at photographers who tried to take his picture in Malibu. Mel, 60, pulled over and took pictures of the snappers and their number plate before angrily driving off. It’s not the first time he’s suffered a meltdown on the road – he was let off with a warning after verbally abusing Malibu police officers who pulled him over when he was driving without his licence in 2013. It’s been a bad week for Mel, whose short temper was on display again when audio was released of an expletive-filled rant in which he verbally abuses his ex, Oksana Grigorieva, 46, in 2010. But she won’t be getting the payments the pair agreed upon…

Cher Nose job, boob job and wrinkle removal The singer, 70, admits to having her nose, mouth and lips done, but describes her boob jobs as “a nightmare… really botched in every way… worse than before.” Britney Spears Lip injections In 2014, the mother-of-two confessed to being a regular customer of celebrity cosmetic surgeon Dr Raj Kanodia. The singer, 34, insisted he only did “fun stuff to me sometimes. I’ve had lip injections before.” Victoria Beckham Boob job It took years for Posh to ’fess up to her implants, and by the time she did, she’d had them removed. “No torpedo bazookas. Gone” she said in 2011. In 1999, she’d gone from a 34A to a 34DD, saying then her new look was down to tape and push-up bras. Iggy…

1 I ONLY WASH MY HAIR ONCE A WEEK Well done – the less you wash your hair the healthier it will be! Washing every day strips your scalp of the natural oils that treat and protect your hair. Plus, if you have coloured hair it’ll fade faster. The straighter your hair is the oiler it will be, so stretching it beyond three days before shampooing may be tough. In the meantime, stick with dry shampoo to banish greasy roots and fake “fresh”. TRY Cedel Dry Shampoo $14.99 2 I SLEEP WITH MY HAIR IN A PONYTAIL If you’re using an elastic in your hair, sleeping with it in is a no-no because it can pull and damage hair. But there’s a simple solution – swap your hair tie for…

She isn’t the first member of her famous family to garner attention for her shapely backside, but Kylie Jenner, 19, was at the forefront of implant speculation last week when she showed off her assets on holiday with boyfriend Tyga. The youngest member of reality television’s first family was keen to flaunt her bottom in a high-cut one-piece swimming costume when she celebrated her birthday with the rapper, 26, and her sister Kendall, 20, in Turks and Caicos Islands, near the Bahamas. Her rear certainly seems larger than it did previously, leaving fans to wonder if Kylie may have felt pressure to size up against big sister Kim, whose butt has been the subject of much discussion. Despite her tender age, Kylie is no stranger to cosmetic procedures, having admitted…

Sylvia Jeffreys How I stay in shape As the Today presenter gears up for The Bloody Long Walk, she reveals her secrets to staying fit and healthy I LOVE EXERCISE I need it, physically and mentally, to get me through the day after the early starts. I have a tendency to sink into a bad mood if I don't fit in some kind of activity. I MIX THINGS UP and do as much as my schedule will allow – a few Pilates sessions each week, a couple of runs and a yoga class if I can fit it in. I squeezed in a few runs while I was on holiday recently. And also walked up approximately 4 million stairs over three weeks! I definitely carb-loaded every day, too.…

‘Bella burst out laughing and told Nicole she was being a badass!’ She’s spoken candidly about her emotional split from Tom Cruise, revealing just how difficult it was to come to terms with the end of their marriage. But when it comes to her adopted kids Bella and Connor, Nicole Kidman has, for the most part, remained tight-lipped. Both children chose to live with Tom, 54, when the pair divorced in 2001, and speculation has persisted that Nicole was banned from seeing them because of their commitment to Scientology. Tom is a devout member but Nicole walked away from the religion after their divorce. Despite these rumours, Nicole, 49, has remained adamant that she’s still close to Bella, 23, and Connor, 21, insisting they’ve stayed in regular contact. Worlds apart…

‘William tended to be sly, whereas Harry was much more open’ While Prince Harry’s penchant for beautiful women and his love of partying have earned him a reputation for being a wild child, older brother Prince William has always been considered sensible, mature and level-headed, and has done all he can to prove he’ll make a reliable and respected ruler. But in a shock report last week, William’s suitability for the role of future king came into question, as one of the people closest to the prince in his early years spoke out about his less-than-desirable traits. Princess Diana’s former bodyguard Ken Wharfe, 68, was incredibly close to both William, 34, and Harry, 31, when they were growing up. And while it may come as a shock, the retired royal…
