Innholdsfortegnelse for 1903 i Woman's Day

When my 12-year-old, Max, caught the bus on his own for the first time recently I had to stop myself from stalking him the whole way to make sure he was alive on arrival! I’m learning quickly that having a child turn into a teenager is stressful! Wet towels on the floor, dirty dishes left to rot in places nobody could ever hope to find them… and don’t get me started about thieving phone chargers. Argh! This week the office all oohed and ahhed over some adorable pictures of Suri Cruise, the 12-year-old coming of age with her friends as they took to the streets of New York: lipstick, handbags, mobile phones and even hailing a cab! See the pics on page 22. And if you’re a mum who has…

Kelsey Grammer quit AA and is in the process of opening a bar. The Cheers star, who has spent time in rehab and been arrested for drink driving, says he now drinks “every day”. Kelsey, 63, promotes a beer brand and now plans to open a brewery in upstate New York. He has filed for a licence for “summer tavern wine” and, given his history with alcohol, the move has raised eyebrows. “Kelsey insists he’s no longer an alcoholic but a lot of people don’t believe it’s possible for addiction to just disappear,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “It makes you wonder how his family feels about him being in the alcohol business.” Father-of-seven Kelsey first revealed his dream of opening a brewery in 2016. And while his wife Kayte’s…

Eight years after she ended her engagement to Brian McFadden, Delta Goodrem appears to have finally made it down the aisle! Just as Woman’s Day was going to press, the Voice Australia coach and her long-term boyfriend, musician Matthew Copley, shared several photos from what looked to be an intimate New Year’s wedding in Newrybar, near Byron Bay. The pair were joined by several close friends, who travelled to Byron via Brisbane ahead of the celebrations. The apparent ceremony took place at Blue Green Sanctuary, which is “nestled in the hills,” just 12 minutes outside the beachside hamlet, a favourite among local and Hollywood celebrities alike. Accommodation at the chic resort ranges from $500 to $2000 a night, and offers a honeymoon suite. “The honeymoon suite is upstairs under a…

The coke scandal In April 2014, Geoff and Sara were both arrested by police at Sydney’s Royal Randwick racecourse, after they were busted with cocaine at the exclusive members club The Stables. The couple later pleaded guilty to possession and each received six-month good behaviour bonds. The fallout Following his arrest, Geoff’s contract with vitamin company Swisse wasn’t renewed. He was also dropped as Austswim ambassador. “Some people feel that they have been let down and I deeply apologise for that,” he said at the time. The shoplifting Sara made headlines again in May 2018 when she was arrested for stealing a pair of $2500 pants from the Island Luxe store in Byron Bay. The charges against the former publicist were later dropped on mental health grounds, with Sara’s lawyers…

Karl Stefanovic’s oldest friends are concerned the TV host might be over-indulging in his new life as a man of leisure following his sudden departure from Today late last month. “Now that he doesn’t have to wake up to his alarm at 3am every day, we’re all worried he’s just going to party every night,” one long-time acquaintance tells Woman’s Day exclusively. “He’ll still be awake when the old alarm clock would have gone off.” No longer restricted by the early-morning starts that came with his top-paying gig, 44-year-old Karl has plenty of time on his hands to do as he pleases. And as Woman’s Day went to press, he’d spent the last few days on a road trip with his new wife Jasmine Yarbrough, 34, and a bunch of…

There are now more non-toxic formulas than ever, so if you’re wondering what they are and what chemicals you should avoid, read on... WHAT ARE 5-FREE, 7-FREE AND 10-FREE NAIL POLISHES?

Yes, it turns out clean sleeping is the latest trend making its way into the bedroom. So what exactly does it mean?

Meet Cougar & Alex! AMANDA SAYS Cougar shows me that he has passed over and he brings through two other cats that have passed before him. They are childhood cats, and their names are Ginger and Crystal. Alex comes through and tells me he is living and he never met Cougar, but often sees him around. Alex is a rather quiet cat and doesn’t say a whole lot. Ginger is such a sweetheart and he is very chatty. Cougar would often see these two around in spirit and knew Candice would love to hear from them both. Cougar shows me he was only quite young when he passed over from a stroke, but I felt there was another underlying issue that caused his stroke. It came out of nowhere as…

‘I’ve disowned my family – why can’t you do the same with yours?’ He’s the lovable royal with a smile that’s won the world over, but now Prince Harry is set to cause outrage as he considers a shock decision to turn his back on his family. Sources tell Woman’s Day the Duke of Sussex, 34, is being forced to make the choice by his wife Meghan, who’s been at the centre of scrutiny for months.

Noni Hazlehurst has long been one of Australia’s most beloved actresses, but the former Play School and Better Homes & Gardens host has turned her back on the limelight to escape the scandalous court case her ex-husband John Jarratt is embroiled in. John, who shares grown-up sons William, 24, and Charlie, 30, with Noni, has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Sydney’s East in September 1976, long before he married Noni. The 66-year-old Wolf Creek star has firmly denied the allegations, saying they are “ridiculous and untrue”, but nevertheless the strain on Noni’s personal life is proving increasingly difficult.

They’re one of our favourite couples, but Jules Sebastian has some a little concerned that her marriage to husband Guy might be in trouble. Late last month the stylist – who shares sons Hudson, six, and Archer, four, with Guy – was seen out in Sydney on a walk with a girlfriend, and onlookers couldn’t help but notice she wasn’t wearing her gorgeous wedding ring. Jules, 39, and Guy started dating as teenagers, before finally tying the knot in 2008. While it’s likely Jules simply took of her wedding ring while she was exercising, the couple are no stranger to relationship issues. In fact, only last year Guy revealed the pair had previously split. The 37-year-old Australian Idol winner admitted their break-up was a result of his “douche”-like attitude. “[Jules]…

And now the 46-year-old has sparked rumours that she could be planning to settle down with her new man after she was spotted shopping at upscale jewellery store Gearys in Beverly Hills. “Jen was studying some of their finest pieces and it looked like she could have been shopping for her own engagement ring!” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “She’s a feminist, and even though it may seem nontraditional, she wouldn’t have a problem with that.” Jennifer was first revealed to be dating the 40-year-old businessman in October, and the following month he finalised his own divorce. While the couple started out casual, sources say things are quickly heating…

‘Sara and Geoff’s lifestyle continued to self-destruct’ Geoff and Sara Huegill had a seemingly picture perfect life. A beautiful family, an inner city home – the world was theirs. But now it seems that couldn’t be further from the truth. In an exclusive report, Woman’s Day can expose the shocking truth about the couple’s seven-year marriage, with one long-time pal revealing what really happened behind closed doors that ultimately led to former Olympian Geoff to call it quits. “A few weeks ago, just before Christmas, Geoff got a call from their newsagent saying his wife had walked out with three fashion magazines without paying. Geoff was mortified, but very grateful to the nice man who gave him the chance to make it right. Geoff was so embarrassed,” says the friend,…

It’s been over 15 years since The Ellen DeGeneres Show first aired.

Sources believe a departure from her show could mean Ellen, 60, and Portia, 45, are finally ready to start a family together! “Ellen has always brushed off claims that she’s having a baby with Portia because she just hasn’t had the time. But if she wasn’t working almost every single day, of course that would change things,” one friend reveals. “Ellen adores kids, and while she never saw it happening for herself, who knows what the future could hold if she had a…

It’s the movie that made her a household name, but when Looking For Alibrandi star Pia Miranda took to Instagram last month to celebrate the 20th anniversary of when she started shooting the beloved coming-of-age film, noticeably missing from her lengthy tribute was a shout-out to her former co-star and good mate Matthew Newton. Pia, 45, specifically named the film’s director Kate Woods, the screenwriter and author of the original novel Melina Marchetta, and producer Robyn Kershaw. She also tagged her fellow cast members Leeanna Walsman and Kick Gurry, and described them as “pretty fine people”. The snub comes as Woman’s Day hears whispers of a possible falling out between one-time friends Pia and Matthew over his violent behaviour. In 2007, Pia publicly supported Matthew after he was convicted of…

Plant stands were popular in the 1960s and now they’ve made a comeback – and DIY specialist Natasha Dickins from Little Red Industries is going to show you how to upcycle your own. “This particular piece [I’m demonstrating with] has been left out in the weather and the plastic coating has completely deteriorated,” she says. “Underneath is a perfectly fine metal structure that has some surface rust.” In this case, Natasha says it’s better to scrape away the remaining plastic coating and seal the metal with a rust-friendly paint like Hammerite Direct to Rust Metal Paint. “I chose this sunny yellow that’s a bit retro and is a modern contrast to the original white finish,” says Natasha. But you can always pick another colour that you prefer, of course! If…
