Innholdsfortegnelse for 1908 i Woman's Day

I hate to bring up the V word for those of you Valentine’s wowsers, but like it or not, this is the week loved-up men and women will be strolling around with flowers, and young girls will be casually checking the letterbox hoping for a declaration of love from their boy crush (or was that just me as a daggy teenager?!) So I admit, I’m in the pro-Valentine’s Day camp. Don’t hate me, haters! It just means I like a bit of positive feedback (something my gorgeous partner Brook learned very early on!) If you want to celebrate with your loved one this year without breaking the bank, try our cute baked treats on page 56. If you’re alone this V Day, treat yourself to some sexy lingerie (page 64)…

He’s newly engaged to Katherine Schwarzenegger, but Chris Pratt was far from dignified as he partied like a rock star last week. The Jurassic World star reportedly went wild at a London strip club, running up a $7000 champagne tab before crassly joking he wanted to marry one of the pole dancers instead of his 29-year-old bride-to-be! And not surprisingly, sources say the 39-year-old’s raucous antics have gone down like a lead balloon with future father-in-law Arnold Schwarzenegger, 71. “There was already tension between Chris and Arnie, but this has intensified the hostility between them,” a Hollywood source spills to Woman’s Day. “Arnie’s kept silent about his reservations towards Chris – he doesn’t want to stand in the way of Katherine’s happiness and he knows she loves the guy. But…

Amid his high-profile divorce from Jenna Dewan, Magic Mike heartthrob Channing Tatum is desperate to ensure his five-year-old daughter Everly remains a major part of his life. Court documents reveal the 38-year-old actor has gone all-out to show his commitment to being a father in the wake of the couple’s shock split. Channing is requesting joint custody of his little girl, having her for two days during the week and then alternating weekends, as well as dividing holidays evenly with his ex. “In my opinion and experience, Everly has appeared to adjust to our separation and living in two homes exceptionally well,” Channing wrote in the documents. “I believe that she will thrive even more with structure and consistency because she is happy and more relaxed when she knows a…

Their Byron Bay ceremony left them feeling “magnetised” by each other’s affection, and now Heidi and Mike reveal they wouldn’t have had their TV wedding experience any other way. “She has this pull and I have an attraction to her that I can’t explain,” reveals Mike. While their marriage has already had several bumps in the road, Heidi insists she has no regrets about the experiment so far. She also tells Woman’s Day she’s happy she opened up about her heartbreaking past, admitting her unconventional childhood has made her who she is today. “It made me become really independent very quickly!” the Queensland-based radio host tells us during our photoshoot. “It left me taking a long time to rely on people, but I know I can always rely on myself.”…

Sources close to make-up artist Lauren reckon she and husband Matthew’s lifestyles are too incompatible to last in the long run. “Lauren’s a social girl. She likes going out with her friends, having a drink and is very open with her sex life – it’s colourful, let’s put it that way,” says the source. Matthew, 29, who lost his virginity to 31-year-old Lauren during their honeymoon, couldn’t be more different. He doesn’t drink, is introverted and still struggles with physical intimacy.…

If anyone knows what awaits this year’s Dancing With The Stars contestants, it’s Amanda Keller. The beloved TV and radio personality, who’s hosting Ten’s reboot of the popular show alongside Grant Denyer, competed on the series in 2006. But while she’s returned to the world of sequins and sparkles, Amanda, 56, says there’s no chance we’ll see her back on the dancefloor. “The only time I get on the dancefloor these days is with a couple of pinot gris under my belt,” she jokes. Sitting down with Woman’s Day ahead of show’s premiere next week, The Living Room star spills the beans on what it’s like working with Grant, how she feels looking back on her time on the show and what it was like hanging out with the Hemsworths!…

Wiping away tears of grief, Australian TV treasure and seven-time Logie winner Paula Duncan smiles warmly as she reveals her beloved sister Carmen got her final wish – to be out of hospital and with her cherished family on Christmas Day. “As cancer took its cruel, final grasp, that’s all Carmie talked about in the months leading up to Christmas, how she desperately wanted to be out of hospital and home with her family, even just for a few hours,” says Paula. “Carmie got her final wish. It meant the world to her to be with her adored family – her son Duncan, daughter Amelia, and her grandkids Miffie, Erin and Barrett – for Christmas.” CLASSY ACT “She was so weak, could barely walk and was down to 40kg, but…

“The suffering of hundreds and hundreds of local families has been immense, but I’m so proud of how our beautiful city has pulled together to get through this,” Townsville mayor Jenny Hill tells Woman’s Day. “This has been an unprecedented disaster, but there are so many stories of the community banding together that have inspired us all, a reminder the quintessential Aussie spirit is alive and well. “Last week I took myself, with no cameras, no fanfare, and spent hours at one of the evacuation centres to assure locals they’re not alone. I met one elderly lady, a real Townsvillian, and we chatted and with resilience by the truckloads she just wanted to get home, get cleaned up and get on with it. “That feeling resonates right across this glorious…

You know that missing out on a good amount of shut-eye can have a negative impact on you, mentally, physically and emotionally.

So what exactly is sleep apnoea? Is it just a bad case of loud snoring? And how are we supposed to avoid or treat it? Well, 61 per cent of the population are unaware of how to properly define the condition, so we asked Amcal professional services manager…

They’ve only been married for a few months but the rumour mill is already in overdrive that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are headed for divorce! The first signs of trouble popped up in November, when Justin, 24, confessed on social media that “love isn’t always easy” and “every day is a learning process”. “It’s dawning on them that maybe they were too hasty to become husband and wife,” a close source spills to Woman’s Day.

The amateur chefs were spotted at the Gold Coast’s Pacific Fair mall recently, and Stacey, 27, appeared to be sporting the start of a baby bump, according to fellow shoppers. “There was no missing it,” says on onlooker. “They look so happy together.

She’s made no secret of the fact she wants to ditch ex-stripper Bronson and steal another bride’s groom away – and that’s exactly what Ines has done! Indeed, the ink barely had time to dry on her marriage certificate to Bronson before feisty brunette Ines set her sights on Elizabeth’s husband Sam during the first dinner party last week. “I wish I was matched up with Sam. He’s super-hot, he wears nice suits, his facial hair is always really well-groomed. I’m all about getting a divorce and finding a new husband! Elizabeth is a liability in my eyes,” Ines, 28, confidently declared on the show. “Sam is so hot! There’s no way they’re going to build a healthy relationship together.” She went on, “Why did Elizabeth get placed with Sam?…

The 37-year-old and her husband Prince Harry have sent bookies in a spin as hordes of regal fans are placing their bets that they’re having not one but two babies. “An unprecedented number of bets on Meghan and Harry to have twins have forced us to stop taking bets on the market altogether,” a spokesperson for Irish bookmaker Paddy Power reveals. “The stream of bets has led us to believe that perhaps the punters – or an insider source – knows something more than we do.” Ladbrokes also cut the odds of Meghan having…

When Portia de Rossi left her favourite vegan restaurant in LA after catching up with her brother Michael Rogers, it should have been a happy occasion. Woman’s Day’s exclusive photos show the actress – who just celebrated her 46th birthday – was in tears. “Portia was distraught as she walked to her car – she had tears streaming down her cheeks,” says an onlooker. “She wasn’t even trying to hide it.” Sources say her public meltdown happened after hearing some bad news. “Portia is really close to her family, especially Michael, who seemed to have told her something upsetting.

After enduring a terrifying hospital stint where she suffered a ruptured ovarian cyst, Kate Beckinsale is celebrating her new bill of health by gallivanting around with her new toyboy, 25-year-old Pete Davidson. But Woman’s Day can reveal friends are hoping the 45-year-old’s health scare will be the wake-up call she needs after months of non-stop partying. “She’s one of the most socially active people in Hollywood right now, but the pace has caught up with her,” spills our LA insider. “If she’s not clinking glasses at an event or out to dinner, she’s on a plane or working non-stop. She needs to rein it in and put her health first.” However, sources fear her new romance with the young gun comedian – who’s Ariana Grande’s ex-fiance – combined with her…

Rumours are flying that Aussie actress Rachael Taylor has secretly tied the knot with boyfriend Mike Piscitelli after she was spotted donning a diamond ring and a band on her wedding finger. “Rachael has been wearing an engagement ring for a while, but now she has a second ring on that same finger,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “Word is that they got married over the holidays.  They’re a really private couple so it wouldn’t be like Rachael to announce this right away.” The 34-year-old star only confirmed she was dating Mike in 2015, despite having been a couple for two years. Previously Rachael was engaged to Matt Newton. She split from him and took out an AVO after he allegedly attacked her in 2010. Recently, Rachael revealed she and…

After months of speculation about where Meghan will give birth, it seems royal watchers finally have their answer. It was believed Meghan would break tradition and welcome her babies at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, which is close to the couple’s future home of Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. But now it looks like the Duchess will give birth at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital after all. While it has not been confirmed, staff at the prestigious maternity ward were told that they could not have any time off in April, sparking whispers it’s because Meghan will be checking in. The Lindo Wing is where Princes William and Harry were both born, and William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, welcomed all three of their children there. However,…

With Karl’s career at a standstill until Nine figure out what they’re going to do with him once filming finishes on This Time Next Year, the father-of-three has become quite the man of leisure – and we’re told his new bride Jasmine is the one funding his carefree lifestyle! As Karl spends his days doing whatever he pleases, his shoe designer wife was spotted heading back to work at her Mara & Mine boutique in Sydney last week. We’re told that the pressure is on for Jasmine’s business to perform even better than it already is, in case things eventually go belly up with Karl’s finances. “It’s been more than two years since Karl split from [ex-wife] Cassandra, and they’ve yet to reach a financial agreement,” claims a source. “So…

They seem completely removed from each other, but it turns out your mouth and sleep habits are interrelated. In fact, if your oral hygiene isn’t the best, your sleep can suffer. Here are the potential problem areas to watch out for and how they can lessen your chances of a good night’s rest… IMPERFECT TEETH There are three forms of crooked teeth that can affect your sleep: overbites, underbites and open bites. An overbite occurs when the top teeth cover the bottom row of teeth, an underbite sees the bottom teeth come in front of the top teeth and an open bite occurs when both the upper and lower teeth don’t overlap. So how do they all affect a quality of slumber? Well, crowded or misshapen teeth can mean your…

So think of all the things about your partner that make you smile and write them down. You could start with “I love the way you...” or “These are the things I love most about you...”. Make IOU cards Think of some romantic – or cheeky! – things your loved one would appreciate. Perhaps it’s a home-cooked meal, a movie night or a bedtime massage. Write each idea on a card titled “IOU” for them to redeem whenever they like. Now, that’s a gift that keeps on giving! Date night jar Similar to IOUs, come up with…

Bella explains her behaviour AMANDA SAYS Bella tells me she is living before two cats that have passed over come through. They were both very different personalities and showed me they lived to be very old. One was called Chakotay, who lived until she was 21 and was very pushy. The other was Ginger Baby, who was 19. Valerie’s brother who passed away suddenly a few years ago also comes through with the cats. Bella then shows me she came to Valerie at a very young age as she went from a breeder to a new home for a short time and then to Valerie’s. Bella tells me she’s only one and she can be very naughty at times. She tells Valerie that when she gets aggressive with her she…

He’s played Down Under 15 times, but Elton John is saying goodbye to Australia with a 2019-2020 farewell tour that promises to be bigger and bolder than ever. “It’s the most produced and fantastic show I’ve ever done,” say Elton. “I want to go out with a bang!” Ahead of the hotly anticipated extravaganza, we remember the Rocket Man’s best moments in Oz. 1 ELTON LANDS IN OZ  Elton’s first Australian tour started in Perth in 1971, which is where he is set to kick off his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour Down Under.
