She’s had public struggles over the years, but Ariel Winter is looking better than ever! The 21-year-old Modern Family star has shed 13.5kg and is sporting a fab new look. “Ariel has come into her own recently and it’s great to see this whole new side to her,” spills our insider. “She still likes dressing in sexy outfits but she’s toned it down, and that has a lot to do with her relationship.” Ariel has been dating actor Levi Meaden, 31, since November 2016. And while her relationship is stable, she’s gearing up for her TV show to come to an end after 11 seasons. “Ariel’s life is about to change dramatically and it comes at a time when she’s never been so comfortable in her own skin,” adds the…

It seemed like a fairytale romance, but former Home And Away star Pia Miller has secretly split with her long-term partner Tyson Mullane after a 17-month engagement. Photos emerged last week of the mother-of-two without her ring and it has since been reported the duo have moved out of their shared home. While the pair are said to remain close, Woman’s Day understands that Tyson has struggled with Pia’s growing profile and demanding career. “Pia travels a lot for work and is constantly on the go, and between long filming hours and limited downtime, it was difficult for him to find time with her,” a source close to the 35-year-old actress reveals. “What they had was real, which is why it’s been so hard for them both, but this has…

Now that the Oscars campaign trail is over for Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, the actor appears to have dropped her just as she was beginning to believe the romance between them was real. Their incredible chemistry as they showcased their romantic drama A Star Is Born prompted worldwide headlines that Bradley, 44, was preparing to leave his long-time partner Irina Shayk for the pop star – and Gaga thought so, too. But now that the buzz around their film has died down, friends say Bradley has all but abandoned her. “Gaga feels humiliated by all of this,” a source tells Woman’s Day.  “She feels like she was encouraged to let the whole world see how much she loved him, only for him to ditch her when the promotional trail…

She’s broken a few hearts during her time on MAFS – first her farmer husband Mick’s when she cheated with Dan Webb, then Dan’s when it was revealed she’d also propositioned Nic for a couple swap early on in the series. But it was Jessika Power, 27, who was left heartbroken when a radio listener claimed to Kyle and Jackie O that Dan had “cheated on Jess after he came on to her in a bar two months ago”. And it appears there might not be much hope for this troubled couple, after photos exclusively obtained by Woman’s Day reveal the aspiring Instagram model has been hooking up with MAFS’ season 5 groom Telv Williams in their home town of Perth! Taken in December last year, before the reunion was…

It’s been more than 50 days since Prince Frederik and Princess Mary have been photographed together on a joint engagement and Danish royal watchers are wondering if all is not well between their future King and Queen. As their 15th wedding anniversary approaches next month, the couple appear to be spending less time together than ever. “It’s very strange. They used to always step out with a smile on their faces, even when Fred faced any kind of public scandal,” says a source. “Mary has always stood by him, even as ex-girlfriends crawl out of the woodwork, or he’s accused of being too lazy to be King. But perhaps now she’s growing tired of it.” CARRYING THE LOAD Yet despite Frederik’s half-hearted approach, Mary, 47, has upped her royal workload,…

She looked like a boho bride in her long white dress, and by the looks of the sparkler on her hand, Delta Goodrem could well be on the way to walking down the aisle. Performing together at a Sony event recently, Delta and musician Matthew Copley sparked speculation they’re secretly engaged when she flashed a new ring on her wedding finger. The Voice coach, 34, who has been dating Matthew since early 2018, recently enjoyed  a romantic getaway in Byron Bay, where it was rumoured they tied the knot in an intimate New Year’s ceremony. But despite the wedding talk heating up, keeping any plans hush-hush is just Delta’s style, after vowing to keep her love-life private following a string of high-profile relationships. “I made a conscious decision when I…

This season has been plagued by bombshell revelations about Victor and Piper, who were exposed as hook-up buddies during filming. But Woman’s Day’s on-set spy has revealed they weren’t the only ones taking advantage of their time away from home. “Bianca and Matt were hooking up behind the scenes!” says the insider. “They were obviously a lot more low-key about it than Victor and Piper, but Bianca was smitten.” In November last year, when filming was taking place in Melbourne, the cast enjoyed a wild night out together, where it’s alleged Bianca, 32, made her move on the 27-year-old cricketer. “Bianca made it obvious she wanted him and everyone slowly realised what she was trying to do, but it fizzled shortly after,” continues the source.…

The other major celebrity to be charged over her involvement in the college bribery scam is Full House star Lori Loughlin. While Felicity’s hanging her head in shame over the pain she has caused her family, the same can’t be said for Lori. Despite facing decades behind bars, the 54-year-old seems to be relishing the spotlight and was even seen smiling at fans and signing autographs at her most recent court appearance. New money laundering and conspiracy charges have been filed against Lori and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, on top of allegedly paying $700,000 to get daughters Isabella, 20, and Olivia, 19, into University of Southern California on the rowing team – despite the fact they don’t know how to row. Seemingly unfazed by the seriousness of the situation, the…

As the rumble of engines bellowed in the distance and dust whirled in the air, Maria Jackson’s stomach lurched when seven semitrailers burst through the gates of her farm. “When I saw the trucks coming, the enormity of what we’d done hit me,” the 50-year-old tells Woman’s Day. It was 2016, and Maria and her husband Mick had taken the biggest gamble of their lives in buying Valley Fields, a 526-hectare farm at Currabubula, near Tamworth, NSW, in the grip of Australia’s most crippling drought in a century. Although Maria grew up on a small farm at Pottsville, near Byron Bay on the NSW far north coast, that was run by her father Geoff and had been in her family for generations – she was a complete novice when it…

If you’re one of the 40 per cent of Aussies aged 45 and older living with two or more chronic diseases, the cold months can be difficult. “Often it’s more about the change in seasons rather than the temperature,” says Dr Ronald McCoy, education strategy senior adviser at the Sydney-based Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. The good news is you can get through winter relatively unscathed with a few easy tweaks. KEEP COSY Depending on your health conditions, it may be especially important to stay warm when out and about. Some types of asthma are worsened by inhaling cold air or being exposed to damp and mould. Likewise, if you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, a fall in atmospheric pressure – which often happens before bad weather sets…

Tinkerbell speaks from the other side AMANDA SAYS This little one tells me she has passed away and there was a very grounding energy about her right through the reading. She loved the life she had with owner Paris Hilton and tells me Paris always spoilt her and is a very loving pet owner. They had their own language together and knew what the other was thinking. Tinkerbell was Paris’ rock and knew how to calm her down when things weren’t going her way. Tinkerbell was so very protective and let Paris know if she did not like someone. There were a few people Paris associated with that Tinkerbell took an absolute disliking to. She was not interested in all the photos that were taken of her as fame meant…

He has been reporting showbiz gossip for more than 35 years, as well as providing a shoulder to cry on for some of the world’s biggest stars. And now Studio 10 star Craig Bennett has decided to share some of the juiciest stories he’s kept under wraps in a rip-roaring memoir entitled True Confessions Of A Shameless Gossip. “People often ask me for the most bizarre or outrageous showbiz stories I know, and among them is Jeanne Little’s staggering confession she was snatched by aliens as a teenager,” he says. Craig, 56, and the Gold Logie-winning “TV daaaaarling” have been close friends since 1980, and he says Jeanne – now sadly stricken with Alzheimer’s disease – was absolutely serious about her alien abduction. “Jeanne was living with her parents in…

She’s made no secret of the fact she’s been under the knife before, but last week at an event in Sydney, Megan Marx looked virtually unrecognisable from the tanned blonde she was in Bachelor In Paradise. One insider claims 30-year-old Megan spent almost $50,000 on cosmetic procedures including a nose job, cheek fillers and Botox injections last year. “I probably look puffy because I’ve gained some weight,” says the former Bachelor star of her dramatic new look.…

JEN ANISTON’S ENGAGEMENT RING MYSTERY! She set tongues wagging after she was spotted wearing a gold band on her engagement finger in LA on April 3, and judging by the way Jennifer placed her hands in front of her, she wanted people to notice it. The sparkly sighting comes just weeks after Jen’s ex-husband Brad Pitt, 55, was a surprise guest at her 50th birthday party. It was followed by a mysterious rendezvous at Sony Pictures when they were both seen arriving at the Culver City lot within minutes of each other. “They’ve definitely rekindled the flame,” spills an insider. “The ring is totally something Brad would design for Jen himself.” EMMA STONE: I’M GETTING MARRIED! Fans are in a frenzy after La La Land star Emma was spotted flashing…

She blamed intimacy problems and a lack of connection on her troubled relationship with ex-army worker Mark, but Woman’s Day can reveal Ning Surasiang’s onscreen woes weren’t entirely true. “She never really liked Mark – she texted her friends the whole time, telling them how she wasn’t into him,” says our on-set spy. “At one point, Mark got really mad about her constantly being on her phone because he was worried she might be texting her ex. He had major trust issues.” According to the insider, unlike other contestants Ning, 32, was allowed to have her phone to contact her children.…

As her husband Stuart Webb prepares for a court battle to avoid jail for drink driving, Kate Ritchie must be preparing for details of their marriage to be made public. Given past reports of “relationship problems” there is speculation Stuart may need to refer to these when he appears in court to face allegations he was driving over the limit on a suspended licence. “Kate is keeping a very low profile and preparing for the worst,” confirms a close family friend, who claims this may prove to be the final straw in what has reportedly been a complicated marriage. OUT OF CONTROL? Having spent years trying to avoid his careless behaviour and drinking being made public, the usually private Kate is likely “terrified” Stuart will need to air their dirty…

She bravely checked into rehab last week, and while her sons are being cared for by her ex, sources tell Woman’s Day Britney Spears fears this latest setback will mean she could lose her precious boys for good. The 37-year-old singer entered a mental health facility for 30 days last week, after it was revealed she’s struggling to cope with her dad Jamie’s deteriorating health. For the past 11 years, Jamie has served as Britney’s conservator, which means he oversees everything in her life including her career, finances and even her lifestyle. Her dad’s illness is believed to be what sent her into an emotional tailspin. Meanwhile, Britney’s boys, Sean Preston, 13, and Jayden James, 12, are staying with their dad Kevin Federline, which is causing her even more anxiety.…

21m is the total salary leading stars Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Peter Dinklage earned for the final season. 82 minutes is how long the longest episode runs for this season. The other five are between 54 and 80 minutes. 55 nights is how long it took to film this season’s biggest battle. Shot in three different locations, it features kings, White Walkers and dragons! 1 special sword is woven into the Iron Throne – Gandalf’s sword, Glamdring, from Lord Of The Rings! 132 Emmy nominations so far... and it’s expected to bag even more at next year’s awards.…

The silver pendant hangs low around Anne Robinson’s neck, directly over her heart. Inside the tiny locket is a grainy colour photograph of a gorgeous, innocent girl with a beaming smile. The girl’s name is Amanda. She was Anne’s second born. And on Sunday, it will be 40 years since she disappeared without a trace after attending a school dance. Even more disturbing is that Amanda was just one of three young girls from the same place who vanished within four months of each other – Leanne Goodall, 20, disappeared on December 30, 1978, and Robyn Hickie, 18, in April 1979, just two weeks before Amanda. The three young women, all from the same tiny area on the eastern side of Lake Macquarie, north of Sydney, have never been seen…

It’s easy to dismiss dry, itchy and puffy eyes as being tired or having something in them. However, with chronic eye conditions such as blepharitis on the rise in Australia, Dr Jim Kokkinakis explains why you need to see an optometrist for more than just a glasses prescription. WHAT IS BLEPHARITIS? “Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelids causing the eyes to feel sore and gritty, and the eyelids may by puffy and red,” says Dr Kokkinakis. “It can be a frustrating condition, however daily eyelid hygiene can keep symptoms to a minimum.” Other symptoms include the feeling of a “foreign body” or sand in your eye, crusting of eyelashes, sensitivity to light, excessive watering of the eye, blurred vision and flaking skin around the eyelids. WHAT ARE THE RISKS? If…

From coughs and colds to gastro, we fall ill more in autumn and winter – but we’re not powerless. Dr Clare Ballingall from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners says it’s not the cold weather that makes you sick, but your increased chances of coming into contact with other people’s germs. “The most common reason you’re more likely to feel unwell at this time of year is spending more time indoors, huddled together,” she reveals. While you can’t avoid contact with germs completely, Dr Ballingall says there are ways to reduce your risk. 1 Clear congestion Low humidity due to cold weather and artificial heating can dry out your nasal passages. This results in sinus congestion, although allergens may also be to blame. “Spending lots of time inside puts…

1 BANANAS Bananas are high in potassium, which your body can lose through sweating or vomiting. They’re also gentle on the stomach and may help cool a high temperature. 2 CHILLI Have you ever noticed that spicy foods can make your eyes water and nose run? It turns out they also act as nasal decongestants when you’re feeling stuffy! 3 CHICKEN SOUP Nan was right! Chicken contains the amino acid cysteine, which helps thin the mucus in your lungs, while hot broth eases an inflamed throat. 4 TEA Warm drinks like a cup of tea can help to ease congestion. Supercharge your sip with a dash of honey and a squeeze of lemon to soothe a sore throat. 5 CITRUS Opinions are divided on whether…

If wine, food and endless picture-perfect moments sound like your thing, you better get yourself to Mudgee. A pretty four-hour drive from Sydney, Mudgee offers a perfect romantic getaway or girls’ weekend away, with countless hidden gems to explore. Top of the list? Burnbrae Wines. Arriving at our beautiful rustic cottage, located up a hill just outside Mudgee’s town centre, I was greeted by the property’s smiley owners, Trine and Andy. Their passion for shaking up the usually-stiff wine-tasting experience was a breath of fresh air, as they shared stories of their love for a beautiful wine label and sharing quality drops with friends and family. They also touched on the history of their vineyard, which reaches all the way back to the winery’s founding family of nine, who lived…

Q The past two years have been very challenging. I became ill, had to give up my job and haven’t been able to work since. My husband was made redundant, got another job but suffered a nervous breakdown and is unable to work. Will our health improve? Will we get jobs and be OK financially? Rosanna, via email MITCHELL SAYS As I read your letter a voice from upstairs says, “There is light at the end of the tunnel.” I feel things will get much better for you both within a year. Your guardian angel tells me she’s been sending you spiritual healing to help with your health. Your husband is a great fighter. I feel he’ll be able to return to the workforce in the future, but needs to…

They were once sugar and spice and all things nice, but plans for the much-anticipated Spice Girl reunion tour have turned sour as rumours of a lesbian fling between Mel B and Geri Horner have rocked the girl group. When Mel B let slip she’d had a romp with Geri in the band’s heyday during an interview with Piers Morgan last month, it sent shockwaves in the Spice Girls camp, especially as Geri publicly denied the affair! According to reports, it’s caused a fallout between Scary and Ginger Spice, and while all their scheduled UK performances in May and June will go ahead, plans for a world tour are now hanging in the balance. “Tensions are running high between Mel B and Geri,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “It looks…

Jennifer Lopez’s fiance Alex Rodriguez may have found himself hot under the collar in light of recent cheating allegations, but Woman’s Day can reveal the former baseball champ plans to put the debacle behind them once and for all – by planning a wedding to top all weddings! Sources say the 43-year-old has vowed to make up for the heartache the recent scandal has caused J.Lo. “Alex has promised Jennifer she has free rein over their wedding,” reveals an insider. “There’s no budget – he’s told her to spend as much as she wants and she is! Already it looks like the big day is going to cost at least $10 million.” Shortly after A-Rod proposed to 49-year-old Jen, his former teammate Jose Canseco alleged that Alex had an affair…

All the signs were pointing to a split just a few weeks ago, but it seems Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx have sorted out their differences and are now playing happy families for the world to see. The notoriously private couple – who have been dating on and off for nearly six years – were rumoured to have gone their separate ways when Jamie, 51, proclaimed he was single at an event in February. But Woman’s Day can reveal the embattled couple are back together. The pair looked very content while hanging out with Jamie’s daughter Corinne, 25, recently. “Jamie has apologised to Katie for being so insensitive and promised to change his ways,” says an insider. “He knows he can’t keep messing her around if he wants to keep…

After two years on The Voice, ’80s pop icon Boy George has made it clear he’s keen to crown a winner, never backing down on his ruthless approach to mentoring the aspiring singers. However, it appears his jarring tactics could be too much for fellow coach Kelly Rowland, who is said to be crumbling under the pressure and constant drama. “Filming this season has been exhausting for Kelly,” a source close to the set tells Woman’s Day. “She loves being a coach, but she’s over having to justify her decisions and opinions to the other judges.” At the pointy end of last year’s show, the Culture Club star and Kelly, 38, were involved in a series of ongoing fights. At one stage, the former Destiny’s Child singer resorted to…

Leanne Goodall, 20, and Robyn Hickie, 18, also disappeared from Lake Macquarie while serial killer Milat was working in the area. Amanda, Leanne and Robyn all disappeared from bus stops just a few kilometres apart. Amanda’s dad Ron says he’s certain there are people who know more than what they’ve revealed about the girls’ terrible fate. “Some might be dead by now, it has been that long,” he says. “But I have no doubt there are people who know who did this. And know where the girls are.”…

5 tips to get the best result STEP 1 Exfoliating is crucial for an even, long-lasting tan. Ideally, do it at least a few hours before tanning, using an oil-free scrub or exfoliation mitt. STEP 2 Hair removal is best done the day before to avoid tint sitting in any freshly plucked or shaved hair follicles. STEP 3 Skin should be completely dry and at a neutral temperature. Massage moisturiser only on areas prone to dryness such as elbows, ankles and hands, so tan doesn’t grab on as much. STEP 4 An application mitt saves your hands from staining. Invest in two – one for applying and one for buffing over afterwards for a seamless finish. STEP 5 Put on something loose (and dark) post-tan – a kaftan is perfect.…

THE PERFECT PLAN Our [one-year-old] son is massively active, so making sure he has had a run and play before any long car trip is super important. Planning your stops around any playgrounds is a great way to schedule some breaks. We never go for more than 90 minutes unless it’s over his lunchtime nap. ALLOW SCREEN TIME While we try to avoid screen time as much as possible when we’re road-tripping, we downloaded his favourite TV shows and a couple of movies onto an iPad. We know that will keep him entertained for an hour or so. STOCK UP ON SNACKS Food is always a great diversion. Sultanas or peanuts that they have to pick up one at a time will keep them entertained, as well as anything in…
