Innholdsfortegnelse for 1913 i Woman's Day

Like so many women, I’m in a constant battle with the voice in my head telling me, “You deserve that enormous piece of cake,” or “You’re too tired for the gym today”, followed by “Whoa! Those leather pants are TIGHT!’’ On top of that, my partner is a sports physician, so if I ask “Does my bum look big in this?” I get a detailed physiological answer and the offer of an exercise program. Sigh! This week we catch up with Debra Lawrance (aka Home And Away’s Pippa) who’s revealed her hottest body ever, and the secret to her incredible transformation (pg 37). Or you could join me in my latest exercise craze, the Orangetheory workout (pg 60). It’s taken the US by storm and is shaping up to be…

Looks like Brad Pitt’s stint of sobriety following his high-profile split from Angelina Jolie could be well and truly over after the 55-year-old was snapped leaving a Hollywood restaurant last week looking rather bleary-eyed! The actor’s three-hour soiree has sparked concern among fans that he may be back on the booze again. “Brad has turned his life around – he’s a whole new person since he gave up drinking,” an insider tells. “The last thing anyone wants is to see him fall off the wagon. It could end in disaster.” After his bitter divorce battle with Angelina, the Fight Club heartthrob confessed to giving up alcohol because it became a “problem”. “I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing or had a spliff…

He’s been enjoying the single life since splitting from wife Eleanor in 2017, but Andrew O’Keefe could be ready to settle down again… with Australia’s most high-profile escort, Samantha X! The former Deal Or No Deal host has been caught liking several of Samantha’s sexy Instagram snaps, and even left her a gushing message for her recent 45th birthday. “Happy birthday love... To a woman who’s even more beautiful on the inside,” Andrew, 47, wrote alongside the kiss emoji. Samantha, a self-confessed “lover of gentleman”, also thanked her 19,000 followers for their birthday well wishes and gifts, which included five bouquets of flowers, a stack of other presents and messages from “special friends”. We wonder if any of them came from Andrew?…

Adding insult to injury for Jules, a newly-single Cyrell planted a boozy kiss on Cam right in front of her! A fellow party-goer tells Woman’s Day that Jules was left seriously irriated by “Cyclone Cyrell’s” gutsy move. “She was not happy! Given the drama on the show, she’s very cautious and protective of Cam,” the insider reveals. “She keeps him on a tight leash.” Cyrell was later spotted exiting the venue looking downcast and intoxicated, leaving guests to wonder if the two brides had shared words privately.…

There was no spark from the start, but it seems Billy never stood a chance with Susie… because she was already dating a famous footballer – Todd Carney. “She was texting Todd from day one,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “She was so blatant about it. She’d go out into the fire stairwell late at night to call him for hours on end.” The source also reveals Billy caught Susie and Todd exchanging “graphic” images. “She asked Billy to pass her ringing phone and he saw Todd’s name. Another time, he saw messages from a male and let’s just say they were not G-rated!”…

After two years of dating, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are officially engaged. And while she sings about her love not costing a thing, now she’s got a lot, Jenny from the Block is set to draw up the biggest celebrity prenup of all time! Last week the couple returned from their romantic trip to the Bahamas – where Alex popped the question – and judging by their grim faces, sorting out their finances is already causing a lot of tension. If it doesn’t work out, there’s big bucks at stake for the former star baseball player and the Bronx-born songstress, both of them parents to two children. A-Rod, who presented his fiancee with a jaw-dropping $6.4 million 20-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, is said to be worth around $500…

While Nine executives are debating Deb and Georgie’s hairdos, over at Seven, bosses have had to scold their leading ladies Samantha Armytage, Natalie Barr and Ann Sanders after the network’s wardrobe and make-up departments complained about the way the trio were treating them. The Sunday Telegraph reports Sam, Nat and Ann were called into a “closed-door meeting”, where the crew’s grievances were aired. As a result of the meetings, the TV presenters must show “courtesy and respect to the support crew”, reports the newspaper. “Those wardrobe and makeup girls start at 3am every day. They’re always smiling and upbeat, so they don’t deserve to be treated as second-class citizens,” dishes a former Seven employee. “They fear losing their jobs, so they’ve copped it but not any more. Good on them…

The gorgeous TV star has never been so fit after dropping 5kg with a strict diet and exercise regimen to get in shape for her role in the theatre production of Harry Potter And The Cursed Child. Debra, 62, famous for playing Pippa Ross on Home And Away and starring in Please Like Me and Neighbours, says while she was always healthy, she’s back to “the body she should be in”. “All of our bodies are in there,” she laughs, as she prepares to do our swimwear shoot. “When I was a teenager I had a great body, but then I went to drama school and put on lots of weight – and since then I’ve been losing weight, then putting on weight, then losing weight… that whole cycle, which…

Editor-in-Chief Fiona Connolly tests out this new buzzed-about fitness movement Orangetheory is high-intensity interval training, where groups are split into three sections – treadmill, water rower and weights. The key difference from other HIIT workouts is you wear a heart monitor with screens showing your heart rate, calories burned and whether you are in the blue, green, orange or red zone – the aim is to be in the fat-burning orange zone as long as you can. The workout is designed on the science of EPOC [Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption] meaning you keep burning calories even after you finish working out. I’ve been going for six months now and my fitness has improved and body shape has changed, particularly in my core! Visit orangetheory.com to find your nearest studio.…

Amy Schumer Growing TUESDAY, NETFLIX Comedy premiere She’s the queen of comedy, and after announcing her pregnancy last year, it’s no surprise that Amy Schumer’s new comedy special follows her journey to motherhood. The first-time mother-to-be gives a refreshing, honest and of course hilarious take on her pregnancy, as well as her marriage to Chris Fischer, and also shares the misguided advice her mother gave her. You’ll laugh till it hurts! Billions MONDAY, STAN For three seasons Billions has followed the cat-and-mouse antics of US attorney Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) and his nemesis, hedge-fund billionaire Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damian Lewis).  But in this new season, all bets are off as Chuck and Axe join forces to destroy their mutual enemies, including Grigor Andolov (a slimy John Malkovich) and financial wunderkind…

Lean on me Longtime gal pals Elle Macpherson and Demi Moore had a ball when they hung out together at Gwyneth Paltrow’s In Goop Health summit in NYC. Jolie good time Angelina Jolie brought her kids Knox, Zahara, Vivienne and Shiloh to the Hollywood premiere of Dumbo.

Andy Murray and wife Kim Sears were probably feeling a little hoarse after cheering loudly during a day at…

They’ve been married for 28 years, however last week Cameron Daddo made the shocking confession that he cheated on his wife Alison Brahe. “How do you repair a marriage after infidelity?” says the 54-year-old actor. “Honesty is the best policy. I can only speak from my experience, and for me it really is about, understanding why I did it. What was the need? If your needs are not being met, that can lead to difficulty.” Cameron says he also turned to alcohol, which played a part in the breakdown of their marriage. The presenter says the couple who have three children, were able to rebuild their relationship through counselling and “a lot of understanding”.…

When the Duchess of Sussex stepped out last week without her most precious ring, jaws dropped. For many, it’s further proof the honeymoon is well and truly over, for Meghan and Prince Harry, and their apparent marital woes have hit an all-time high as the 37-year-old’s due date approaches. As Woman’s Day previously reported, the two have been at loggerheads over several issues, not least Meghan’s unwillingness to respect royal traditions and protocol. Now, as she parades around sans sparkler for the first time since her November 2017 engagement, it’s feared it’s another sign things are far from well between the pair. “The view is that this was yet another attention-seeking stunt by Meghan,” a royal watcher tells Woman’s Day, noting the former actress was far from shy about flashing…

They finally called it quits after a very tumultuous marriage, and now Cyrell has revealed the truth about her ex-husband Nic – and it’s not pretty! Speaking to Woman’s Day, the health fund consultant, 29, says 27-year-old Nic was purely on the show for fame, and was more concerned with how he looked to the public than trying to establish a real relationship with her. “He kept saying, ‘Why aren’t we being papped, Cyrell?’, ‘What do you think happens when you get more Instagram followers?’, ‘Are we boring – is that why we’re not getting filmed today?’” Cyrell dishes. “I basically met a guy who used me for fame.” Seemingly proving Nic’s true motive for appearing on the show, Woman’s Day has obtained a series of explosive texts that show…

It was only three months ago that Karl Stefanovic was spotted sporting a serious beer belly just ahead of his lavish nuptials to second wife Jasmine Yarbrough. But in an effort to hastily slim down for the big day, the 44-year-old former Today host began hitting the gym big time – and now it’s a case of gut be gone for the father-of-three! Snapped out in Sydney last week, Karl, who’s resumed filming the second half of his reality series This Time Next Year, showed off a noticeably trimmer figure and thinner face as he picked up some groceries with his 13-year-old daughter Ava. Sources say the Gold Logie winner has lost about 10kg. “He looked incredibly fit – all his hard work has clearly paid off,” one onlooker tells…

Two years after returning home to Australia, Schapelle Corby has revealed she’s baby ready at last! Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day during a recent romantic trip to Thailand, where she was reunited with her Balinese boyfriend Ben Panangian, Schapelle said the couple had one goal in mind during their getaway – to fall pregnant. “We’ve been able to meet each other once per year since my deportation from Bali two years ago,” Schapelle reveals. “Last year we met in My Khe Beach, Da Nang, Vietnam. And this year Phuket, Thailand. “We are hoping to become pregnant on this trip together. I’m 42 this year and Ben is 38. “[The] Big Buddha was our first place of sightseeing, where we prayed for safe travels and gave thanks for being able to…

It’s one the world’s most high-profile relationships that’s constantly steeped in drama. And the latest scandal upsetting the Beckham clan is once again the attention David attracts from the ladies! Victoria is said to be fuming over her 43-year-old husband’s close friendship with Helena Christensen and now she has issued the Danish supermodel with a warning to back off! While the 44-year-old fashion designer was at home with the couple’s four children, David was snapped getting cosy with the 50-year-old at a party in Miami in December. Now, as their friendship has continued to grow, Victoria is seeing red! “Victoria and David have been through some tough times, but they managed to get back on track. Then Helena came into the picture,” one insider tells Woman’s Day. “Victoria hates seeing…

On the recent 30th anniversary of Ted Bundy’s execution in Florida’s electric chair, Netflix released Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes. While the documentary is chock-full of compelling footage of the charming, diabolical killer who ultimately confessed to murdering 30 women – though authorities believe there are dozens more – part of the serial killer’s life has remained a mystery: What ever happened to his only child, Rose? Rosa may even have inspired her father to help save lives An obscure Florida law allowed Bundy to marry former co-worker Carole Ann Boone while he was representing himself in court in 1980 during his second murder trial, where she was a defence witness. They conceived their daughter during a death-row prison visit – while  guards looked the other…

Always by her side Here are my three favourite men – husband Alan, son Wesley and grandson David – who were at my bedside when I woke from lifesaving cancer surgery 18 years ago, and they are still ready to help when I need them. Mary French , Geraldton, WA An MKR boilover A reader recently wrote how disgusted she is with the backstabbing people on MKR, remarking what bad role models they are for the young (WD, Mar 11). I am 73 years old and I thoroughly agree with her comments. This show is simply the producers stirring up the contestants to create the most controversy possible. It’s all about ratings and nothing to do with cooking. I exercised my right to turn off the program a long time…

Skincare comes first It’s vital to have a regimen that reduces the redness more permanently, before you apply your makeup.

Michael Jackson’s only daughter has sparked widespread fears for her welfare after falling off the wagon in spectacular style. Paris Jackson, 20 – who only recently left rehab – revelled in a two-day bender in New Orleans last week, where onlookers saw her downing alcohol in the street while allegedly using a fake ID to get into bars. And in disturbing photos, she can also be seen chain-smoking and quarrelling in public with her musician boyfriend Gabriel Glenn. Sources tell Woman’s Day Paris has been “in pieces” over lurid claims in the controversial documentary Leaving Neverland, in which it’s been alleged her father was a serial child molester. “Paris absolutely idolised her dad and is sick to her stomach over what’s being said about him when he’s no longer here…

It was a star-studded week for the Windsors, with Kate, 37, and Charles, 70, mixing with Hollywood’s A-list at back-to-back charity galas. One person who would have loved to have been in attendance was Meghan, especially given her celebrity status and love of the spotlight. However, the diva duchess was nowhere to be seen, and Woman’s Day can reveal her absence was no coincidence. “The Queen kept her away from the events because it would've been all about Meghan taking centre stage and turning a royal occasion that’s meant to exude grace and class into more of an Oscars party,” reveals our royal insider. “Not being invited would’ve hit a nerve with Meghan, especially as her besties Amal and George Clooney were there,” adds our source. “She needs to earn…

She’s rubbed shoulders with members of the British royal family, but TV bride Jules was caught exhibiting some very unladylike behaviour while celebrating her 37th birthday with the MAFS cast last week. “It definitely looked like she may have indulged in a few too many. I actually thought she was going to topple over at one point,” one patron at Double Bay hotspot Mrs Sippy told Woman’s Day. “She was letting her hair down big time!” Jules was also seen getting into a war of words with her husband Cameron, 35. According to a spy, the irritated salon manager uttered a few choice words at Cam before she staggered out of the venue. Jules and Cam’s heated night out comes as the two had their first onscreen squabble during last…

Several major Hollywood players have been shamed for their supposed involvement in a high-profile cheating scandal – with TV veterans Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin being arrested and charged with paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to cheat their daughters into college. Around 50 people are said to be involved in the corrupt scheme. Desperate Housewives actress Felicity, 56, was charged with “conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services fraud” and is accused of paying a $21,000 donation to allow her 18-year-old daughter Sofia to sit the SAT exams at a test centre instead of at her high school. There, an unnamed person said he “facilitated cheating, either by correcting the student’s answers after the test or by actively assisting the student during the exam”. Sofia walked…

HAVE THEY REACHED A SPLIT END? One year after Ubergate caused serious drama behind the scenes at Today, a new scandal has erupted at the floundering breakfast show... and it involves a haircut! With the morning show’s ratings continuing to drop, producers are having more crisis meetings than ever before, reveals Woman’s Day’s exclusive source. In fact, it’s got to the stage where some very rash and questionable decisions are being made – and one of the most desperate was advising Deborah Knight to cut her hair as she and co-host Georgie Gardner were looking too similar. ‘They’ve been reduced to something as superficial as this’ “Here’s a woman like Deb, a strong force to be reckoned with and one of the best journos in the country, being told she…

There’s no doubting who’s top dog at Ian “Molly” Meldrum’s house – and it isn’t Australia’s favourite music guru. Nowadays it’s his pampered pooch who has the upper paw, having just signed with an animal talent agency! “He’s the star around here,” grins Molly, 76, who admits he’s becoming a regular dogsbody for Ziggy IV. “I’m nothing. Nobody wants to talk to me, but maybe he’s more sensible! “Everyone who comes here, from Elton [John] to Britney [Spears], just wants to meet Ziggy and give him a pat. And he’s pretty cool with that, let me tell you. “Now he’s got this agent, there’s no stopping him. He’ll probably start supplying me with outrageous riders asking for special food and scented candles in his dressing room. He is definitely the…

Films and TV shows about serial killers have been keeping audiences on the edge of their seats for decades, and the new Netflix four-part documentary Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes – which delves into the life and crimes of the notorious murderer – also makes for riveting viewing. “I thought [the interviews with Bundy on death row] were chilling, and... there was a new way to get into the mind of the killer, which is what the doc was about,” says director Joe Berlinger, who also made the upcoming movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, And Vile starring Zac Efron as Bundy. “It spared no detail.”…

SULTRY A voluminous style like Goldie Hawn’s gives bangs a very sexy, Brigitte Bardot-esque vibe.

TRY Mira 285 Boar Bristle Radial Brush – Medium $34.95 TIMELESS Not only does Mary Steenburgen’s classic blunt trim add an instant youthful finish, the cut sits on her brow to draw attention to her pretty eyes and high cheekbones.

START SMALL + STOCK UP Switching from an animal-based diet to a plant-based one is a process. Start by making small swaps, or by having a few days a week completely plant-based. Stock your kitchen with a variety of vegetables, fruits, legumes, tempeh and nuts. Plant-based meals are typically less calorie dense, meaning you can eat more than you were previously! EASE INTO FIBRE When switching to a whole food plant-based diet, you might want to increase your intake by 2 to 4 grams every day, and rinse legumes to avoid flatulence and bloating. DON’T ST RESS ABOUT PROTEIN The average woman needs 50 grams of protein per day, and for those who are physically active, up to 100 to 120 grams. You’ll easily hit this by eating legumes, nuts,…
