When Meghan rewore not one but two iconic items from her maternity wardrobe in rapid succession – a blue frock and a striped maxi-dress worn in Australia while she was three months pregnant last October – insiders were quick to take note. “She had the beginnings of a baby bump,” says a witness. “So it would make sense for Meghan to choose clothes she feels comfortable in – especially if she’s not ready to announce it quite yet.”…

Sunday Night and its host Mel Doyle are facing the axe under severe cost-cutting measures at Seven, which could free the former Sunrise star up for a role on the new Today. “There’s no doubt Mel is a proven performer,” says our source, who claims Sunday Night’s dire ratings mean it almost definitely won’t return next year, and could be replaced with an updated Today Tonight format. “I can easily see her slotting into a news role on Today, which could even bring some of the Sunrise viewers to Nine.”…

REESE & CHRISTINA Reese Witherspoon played Rachel’s sister Jill, but wasn’t available for filming when producers wanted her in the storyline again – so Christina Applegate was hired to play another sister, Amy. She won an Emmy for her guest spot. JULIA Julia Roberts played a childhood friend of Chandler’s who returns to take revenge on him. Julia and Matthew dated briefly after her appearance in 1996. “It shocked everyone,” says a source. OWEN After producers heard Owen Wilson was reportedly difficult to work with, they withdrew their invitation. GUESS WHO? Not all stars play nice. Lisa Kudrow says one guest star said, “Oh, now you’re f***able” after she’d been in hair and makeup. “I’d say that’s bad,” she said. CHARLIE Bad boys get nervous too. Charlie Sheen once…

Just months after Woman’s Day revealed My Kitchen Rules was headed for a massive shake-up for its 2020 season – which includes the return of some of the show’s most controversial villains – a source close to the set reveals long-term judge Pete Evans is set to take an unexpected step back. PETE SHAFTED ‘Contestants were shocked to see Pete had been replaced’ According to our insider, Manu Feildel, 45, and Colin Fassnidge, 45, will be team mentors in the upcoming season, with their teams going head to head. Meanwhile Pete, 46, Manu’s usual right-hand man, will be serving on the tasting panel.

Marie Sutton will be best remembered for her close friendship with Princess Diana, and the Aussie charity queen readily acknowledged the world’s most famous woman changed her life forever after they forged a close bond in 1996. But the incredible woman, who raised millions for a number of charities over the course of her life, often lamented that her association with Diana was a double-edged sword that created as many problems as it had benefits. “It changed the way people perceived me, which I found extraordinary,” Marie told Woman’s Day in her last interview. “I didn’t change, but people looked at me differently. Complete strangers would ask me about Diana every week.” A devout Catholic, Marie was inordinately proud of a photograph of herself with Pope John Paul II, which…

Looking ravishing in red, the 40-year old seemed delighted to be with her mystery man – and Woman’s Day can reveal this isn’t the first time Katie’s been out on a date with him.

In an exciting twist, at the same time Harry and Meghan were prompting fevered baby speculation in Cape Town, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had punters back home in London in a frenzy, betting that they, too, are expecting another child. After weeks of rumours that Wills and Kate could be adding a fourth child to their already busy brood of Prince George, six, Princess Charlotte, four, and 18-month-old Prince Louis, UK bookie firm Ladbrokes suspended bets on the couple having one more next year. This came after the duchess subtly changed her hairstyle – which she has done with each of her pregnancies so far – and then was conspicuously absent from a family church service last Sunday. If Kate, 37, and Meghan are both expecting, sources speculate…

They’re rumoured to have rekindled their romance and now it looks like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston could be reigniting their working relationship, too! The former husband and wife, who founded Plan B production company while they were married between 2000 and 2005, graced the screen together when Brad appeared on an episode of Jen’s hit TV series Friends while they were still a couple. And when the pair were spotted entering Sony Pictures Studio in LA at the same time recently, it saw Hollywood abuzz with excitement. “Brad and Jen have been toying with the idea of co-starring in a film loosely based on their own love story,” one industry insider reveals. “The only worry is that it’s sure to reopen old wounds, which Jen in particular isn’t sure…

JOY MUSCILLO STEVE’S SISTER The older sister of Terri’s late husband Steve recently broke her silence after a confidentiality agreement was lifted – saying she’s “very sad” over their family feud. “I just keep away from all that,” she said last week, adding she’d made a “personal decision” not to speak out sooner. “It’s just very sad… family stuff.” Joy’s rift with the Irwins allegedly began after her husband, Frank – who served as general manager at Australia Zoo – was walked out of the Queensland attraction in 2016 following an alleged heated argument with Terri. He had worked at the zoo for more than 30 years, with Joy also employed as the food court manager. She has since lost all contact with 55-year-old Terri, her niece Bindi, 21, and…

Jessica Simpson has revealed her amazing weight loss after dropping 45kg since having her third child Birdie Mae six months ago. Wearing a black dress that showed off her newly svelte waist, the singer revealed that at her heaviest she weighed 108kg. “Emotional for many reasons but so proud to feel like myself again,” she wrote. “Even when it felt impossible I chose to work harder.” The 39-year old has discovered both physical and emotional benefits to getting in shape. “I have been doing a lot of walking – getting my steps in not only burns calories but it also helps me clear my head and get focused,” she said. “It’s not easy at all but I’m determined to feel good.” Jessica, who is married to American football player Eric…

For eight lonely years, Thomas Teneti imprisoned himself in his bedroom and tried to block out his “secret shame” by binge eating. Tipping the scales at a life-threatening 320kg, Thomas’ only contact with the outside world was his local drive-thru window, where he’d order enough fast food to feed a family of four and devour it all before going home to eat dinner. “I thought I would rather eat myself to death than tell my family my secret that I am gay,” says Thomas, 45, who lives in Pimpama on Queensland’s Gold Coast with his religious parents. “I had tried to pray away the gay, but it didn’t work. So eating helped me hide away from the world. I wanted to be ugly.” In December 2017, his young nephew discovered…

With negotiations underway for “months” it’s almost certain Carrie will jump ship from The Project and join Karl on Today – after the former breakfast host agreed to slash his $3 million pay cheque to give Carrie a $500,000 pay rise. “I’d bet my house on the fact Karl will be back in his old chair at Today come January,” claimed one top TV executive. “And I know his management team have been speaking with Carrie for the past three months.” Karl’s manager Sharon Finnigan used to joke that if Karl, 45, combined with Sunrise star Samantha Armytage, 43, it would be breakfast TV’s “dream team”, but 38-year-old Carrie is now seen as a much more valuable commodity. PERFECT COMBO “She ticks almost every box,” the TV executive says. “Carrie…

Nicole Kidman has had one of her worst weeks ever, after being deserted in her personal life then being professionally panned. The actress has always been tight-lipped over her reportedly strained relationship with her grown-up kids Isabella, 26, and Connor, 24, but things came to a head this week when she was forced to admit she has no contact with them. “They have made choices to be Scientologists,” the 52-year-old said in reference to the fact that Scientologists cannot forge a close relationship with an “outsider” even if the person is their own mother. “It’s our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love. It’s not about anything else other than, ‘I’m here to love and support you.’” It’s believed Nicole has been struggling with becoming increasingly estranged from…

Demi Moore’s scandalous revelations regarding her ex-husband Ashton Kutcher has put such a strain on his current marriage that his wife Mila Kunis is ready to walk away, sources reveal to Woman’s Day. “She can barely look at him,” says one source. “Mila had been preparing herself for what Demi was going to reveal for months, but now it’s all finally being made public she’s constantly on edge and queasy.” In the lead-up to last week’s release of her memoir Inside Out, Demi, 56, had unleashed a series of devastating accusations that left Ashton, 41, hanging his head in shame and Mila, 36, completely at a loss. SEXUAL TRYSTS In the book, Demi says her 2011 divorce from Ashton was partly down to his demands for threesomes. She insists that…

What drew you to The Real Dirty Dancing? I’m a massive fan of the movie. When I was told we’d go to the actual place where they filmed I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is incredible!’ We had the best time. Was it as difficult as you thought it would be? We put the celebrities through challenges and it was pretty stressful. There were tears and frustrations because we really threw them in the deep end. It was a bit of a recipe for disaster because of the stress and exhaustion. We were working 14-hour days – one time I was screaming at Jessica Rowe, saying, ‘Get up! Do the dance!’ There were definitely some injuries. Which celebrity surprised you the most? Anne Edmonds was hysterical. She really threw…
