Can someone please explain to me where this year is going?! I swear I only just put the Christmas wreath away and yet last week I found myself removing Easter eggs from my shopping trolley (my kids honestly think I’ll get to the checkout and not notice – please!) This coming weekend marks the end of daylight saving (boo!), which for a summer lover like me is nothing short of DEPRESSING! If you’re in the same mood as me over having to pack away your skirts and dig out your winter woollies, our Fashion Editor Janine helps you choose the perfect pair of pants for your shape this season (p52). PS. Speaking of Easter, next week our friends at Brumby’s Bakery are giving every reader a free hot cross bun…

Nicolas Cage has flown under the radar in recent years since splitting from his ex Alice Kim. But the thrice-married actor made a dramatic return to the spotlight when he was caught on camera having a spectacular meltdown in a Las Vegas courthouse on a Saturday morning, with his new bride, Erika Koike, by his side. In a video published by MailOnline, the 55-year-old was heard ranting, “Her ex is a druggy”, and “She’s going to take my money,” and he “isn’t doing this,” as they applied for a marriage licence. His raging was so bad that Erika was heard telling him, “Baby, I didn’t tell you to do this” before they were ushered into a side room, returning with the certificate in hand. An onlooker says Nicolas was “most…

Just weeks ago, Jamie Foxx declared he was single, prompting a heartbroken Katie Holmes to flee the apartment they shared for a few days’ respite at her parents’ home in Ohio. Now they’ve been spotted back in New York City together, fuelling talk that all is not over between them. While they weren’t overly affectionate during their walk through Central Park on March 25, Katie, 40, and Jamie, 51, who have been together for more than five years, did appear to be deep into a serious conversation. “They’ve been talking things through and seeing if they can resolve their issues,” reveals an insider. “Katie’s frustrated with Jamie’s non-committal attitude. She really wants to get married and Jamie seemed to be on board, but lately he’s been backpedalling. “Jamie’s assured her…

She appeared sheepish when she was caught on camera falling down the stairs as she left Jennifer Aniston’s 50th birthday bash in February – and Reese Witherspoon wasn’t the only one left red-faced. Woman’s Day has learned her husband of eight years Jim Toth, who had left Jen’s party hours earlier, was left reeling and incredibly embarrassed by her drunken fall. Now, weeks later, rumours are swirling the couple still hasn’t been able to put the incident behind them. And with endless fights about Reese’s partying ways becoming all too frequent, and Jim at the end of his tether, friends fear the actress’ marriage may be all but over. PARTY GIRL While Reese likes to unleash her wild side from time to time and enjoys drinking with her girlfriends, Jim…

Just one week after Woman’s Day revealed Nicole Kidman’s only son is set to wed without her by his side, the Aussie actress is facing fresh heartache after her daughter Bella Cruise has been revealed to be Scientology’s newest poster girl. The 51-year-old star is believed to have had limited contact with Connor and Bella, her adopted children with Tom Cruise, because of Scientology. Deemed a suppressive person by the church, it’s long thought Nicole may have been shunned from her children’s lives because of their faith. Now with Bella acting on the church’s behalf and more entrenched in the faith than ever before, Nicole’s nightmare has become a reality. Bella appears in a Scientology ad, encouraging members in London to take part in an internship to become an auditor.…

Dressed in casual beachwear as they took a stroll through their local town of Byron Bay, Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky could have been mistaken for any couple on holiday. However, instead of smiling and holding hands, the Hollywood pair looked strained and tense – sparking speculation there is trouble in paradise. “Chris was waiting around for Elsa to finish shopping and then when they started walking back to their car, they both looked pretty unhappy about something,” an onlooker says of the awkward outing. “At one point, Chris stopped to look at something on Elsa’s phone and after he gave it back to her, they just kept walking in silence. But they were walking noticeably further apart than before.” The frosty behaviour comes just days after the Thor actor,…

A senior investigator linked to the case into the disappearance and presumed death of three-year-old William Tyrrell has told colleagues he knows who is responsible for snatching the boy in September 2014. “I’m certain I know who it is,” the investigator, who can’t be named for legal reasons, told workmates. “Now we need to prove it.” In the lead-up to the start of a coronial inquest, William’s still grieving family said they had “renewed hope” for answers for their boy, who disappeared dressed in his Spider-Man suit. On the official “Where’s William Tyrrell? Bring Him Home” Facebook page, the family said they trusted the inquiry into their son’s abduction will “enable Strike Force Rosann to test the information and evidence they’ve painstakingly gathered to help further their investigation to…

WIDE LEG This sophisticated style suits most shapes as it lengthens legs and accentuates the waistline. Perfect for day or night wear. PAPERBAG TROUSERS Most high-waisted looks are best worn as a looser fit, so they skim over the stomach and don’t cling to hips. Flatter the cinched waist by teaming with a tucked-in or fitted top. STRAIGHT/SLIM LEG Wear this classic cut long for a slender silhouette. This look pairs best with long tops and cropped jackets. TAPERED This naturally flattering style follows the contours of the human body, starting wide across the thighs and tapering in towards the ankle. Can be worn fitted or more relaxed. RELAXED Loose or relaxed fits are deliberately casual, and are often in the form of lightweight fabrics such as cottons or linens.…

SHE’S OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD KIM KARDASHIAN She’s known for her high-fashion style, but we think Kim looked less runway and more robot in this silvery ensemble that bears quite the resemblance to the Tin Man. JEN’S MANI MISHAP JENNIFER GARNER The Camping actress was just trying to enjoy her much-needed me time at an LA nail salon when things got ugly. Broken nail, or just the wrong shade of pink, Jen? BUSK A MOVE Landing work in Hollywood can be hard graft, but thankfully these stars know a thing or two about hustling. Or in this case, busking for a dime! Sharing is caring LARRY EMDUR Every bit a true-blue Aussie, TV host Larry couldn’t help but share his snag sanga with this friendly beagle while out voting…

Happy Patti! You’re wicked, Patti! Bert Newton’s better half had us in stitches as she arrived at the premiere of Muriel’s Wedding The Musical. Having fun, Charles? It’s safe to say Prince Charles was having the time of his life while on royal tour in Cuba, stopping to press sugar cane to make his own juice.

Chris Martin has filed for a restraining order against a deranged fan after her behaviour took a chilling turn. The Coldplay frontman, 42, says one woman, who believes she’s in a relationship with him, has gone too far. Chris reportedly called police after the fan left a package for him inside the gate of his home and wrote letters that make reference to his two children. “Chris understands fandom can get a little crazy, but once it directly affects his family, it’s gone too far,” a source tells Woman’s Day.…

‘The strain is showing… It’s such a huge fall from grace’ You couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for former Today star Sylvia Jeffreys when she was shown on TV chasing a man down the street for a story in her new role as a foot-in-door reporter on A Current Affair. “I winced when I saw the promo,” admits a Nine insider, who says the talented newsreader is still reeling from her shock departure from Today. “I know she never, ever imagined she’d be reduced to such a junior role.” FAMILY DISCHORD Her husband, former Weekend Today co-host Peter Stefanovic is in even worse shape after being axed from his plum role, and forced to reassess his career while he’s working on a short-term project at Sky News. “Peter is…

If Reese and Jim do call it quits, friends fear they could have a messy custody battle on their hands. As well as son Tennessee, the actress also has daughter Ava, 19, and son Deacon, 15 from her first marriage to Ryan Phillippe. And sources say Reese would want to keep her children together in the event of a divorce. “The kids are super close and Reese is all about family. The last thing she’d want is for Ava and Deacon to hardly ever see their little brother,” adds the insider. “If she did split from Jim, there’s a real chance that Reese would go for full custody of Tennessee.”…

When Katie Barfield heard a sweet little voice utter the words, “Mum, Mum,” for the first time, it was a moment she had to pinch herself to believe was really happening. A year ago, the Townsville mother was faced with the grim reality her baby girls, Isabelle, Amelia and Georgia, may not survive – yet today they’re happy and healthy after reaching their 12 month milestone. At her 12-week scan, Katie and her husband Nathan were told their naturally conceived identical babies (a one in 300,000 rarity) were monochorionic triamniotic, three identical foetuses sharing one placenta. Doctors gave the frightened parents little hope that all three of the girls would survive. But Isabelle, Amelia and Georgia continue to defy medical expectations and keep their parents on their toes for all…

Kaley’s voice for animals AMANDA SAYS Actress Kaley Cuoco’s beautiful horse Santos comes through as one tough guy, but also very gentle. His presence is commanding on a high level, and he’s very sure of himself. He loves being with Kaley and tells me he’s the one that really pointed her in the right direction regarding horseriding. Kaley has started to realise that she can actually communicate with many animals, including most of her pets. She is developing this skill and knows what her pets need and want. Kaley has had such a deep love for horses, but when she met Santos it was absolute love at first sight.

He’s as famous for his foul-mouthed rants as he is for his cooking, and now even Gordon Ramsay’s children have come under attack from the hot-headed chef. The 52-year-old revealed last week that he refuses to help his children get a leg-up in the industry and he won’t “pander to the snowflake generation”. “It’s like not employing the kids. I don’t want the staff thinking: “F**k it’s Ramsay’s kid, we can’t tell them off,” says Gordon. “You want to work in this business? You f**k off to another chef, learn something different and come back with something new to improve the business.” The TV chef shares four children with wife Tana, 44 – Megan,21, twins Jack and Holly, 19, and Matilda, 17 – who is pregnant with the couple’s fifth…

Justin Bieber has spent the week on social media declaring his undying love for his wife Hailey – and it’s got sources wondering if it’s because he’s been busted speaking to his ex Selena Gomez. According to a US magazine, Hailey, 22, “hit the roof” while she was at Paris Fashion Week when she found out her husband, 25, – who is battling mental health issues – had been allegedly texting Selena, 26. “Having been in and out of treatment at times herself, Selena is one of the few people who understands what Justin’s going through,” says a source.…

One person who may be less than impressed by Meghan and Harry’s favoured baby name is the prince’s big brother. It’s believed William wanted to name his daughter Princess Charlotte after his mum, but instead made it one of her middle names out of respect to his father, Prince Charles.  “William felt it would be a little unseemly given his dad has a new wife now, and chose to give his mum a more subtle nod,” says a source. “For Harry to go blaring in with the name Diana even though he knows William’s feelings on the matter – especially given that all is not particularly well between the brothers – will only fuel the flames of their differences. It’s clear that Harry doesn’t care what William thinks anymore.” The…

When it was announced Sylvia was being demoted to a role on A Current Affair, she appeared to be “missing in action” for weeks before she filed her first story for the tabloid TV show. “She was utterly mortified when she was told she was  going to ACA,” our source says. “She was like, how did it come to this? She went to that meeting fully expecting to be given a great new role or even her own show. She walked away crushed.” It doesn’t help that on the rare occasions Sylvia, who is contracted to Nine until 2022, is at the Nine studios she runs the risk of running into the new Today hosts Georgie Gardner and Deb Knight. “There are a lot of fractured friendships and it can…

It’s was Zara Tindall’s time to shine when the royal competed in the Gatcombe Horse Trials in the UK last week, but it was her eldest daughter Mia who took centrestage again! The lively five-year-old lived up to her reputation as the cheekiest royal when she joined her mum Zara, 37, and dad Mike, 40, along with her cousins Savannah, eight, and Isla, six, and grandma, Princess Anne, 68, for a day out in the sunshine. ‘She’s like a wind-up toy… she’s quite strong-willed’ An onlooker at the horse trials later revealed Zara and Mike, who celebrated the christening of their second daughter Lena late last month, have their hands full with royal dynamite Mia. “She’s like a wind-up toy, from the moment she gets out of the car until…

Mel B dropped a major bombshell last week, revealing that she once slept with her Spice Girl bandmate Geri Halliwell. Years after they first sparked rumours that things between them had turned intimate, Mel confirmed the story during an interview for Piers Morgan’s Life Stories. “She’s going to hate me for this because she’s so posh in her country house with her husband, but it’s in the past,” the former Scary Spice revealed of Geri, 46, who married millionaire race car driver Christian Horner in 2015. Now, with the Spice Girls – minus Victoria Beckham - reuniting for the Spice World 2019 tour across the UK in May, loose-lipped Mel may have put the event in jeopardy. With the outspoken pop star vowing to be “brutally honest”, just as the…

Doting over her adorable toddler Brodie, mum-of-one Nikki Blackwood looks to be a picture of health and happiness. But inside, the investment bank manager is facing a harrowing battle against her own body. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at just 35, in August last year. “I was completely blindsided,” she tells Woman’s Day. “All I knew about Parkinson’s was that people get tremors and Michael J Fox has it. I thought it was an old person’s disease.” Scottish born and raised, Nikki recalls Brodie, now 22 months, was barely a year old when she first noticed her body stopped doing what it was told. She was standing at the sink washing the dishes while on maternity leave when her right foot arched and her toes curled under involuntarily. Soon…
