Innholdsfortegnelse for 1948 i Woman's Day

Growing up, my favourite TV show was Friends. I loved everything about it, from the awesome ’90s outfits to the witty one-liners and silly skits, but my favourite plots were always the love stories, from Ross and Rachel to Chandler and Monica. So it gives me great excitement to call this issue, The One Where Matthew Perry Confesses His Love For Courteney Cox – and the best part of all is that Courteney appears to be confessing her love right back! Could there BE a happier ending?! And speaking of our favourite TV stars, McLeod’s Daughters’ Bridie Carter and Lisa Chappell hint that a reboot could very well be on the cards. Now, that’s two very good reasons to smile!…

They’re two of Australia’s most successful acting exports but Woman’s Day hears Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie’s friendship is hanging by a thread as the Bombshell stars go head to head for a hot new role. The rumour mill is swirling that the 52-year-old Oscar winner has stolen a big TV role from Margot, 29, in one of the most hotly buzzed about new series, Foxtel’s Lawyer X. “Margot’s upset,” says a friend. “It’s been hard enough sharing the limelight with the Aussie acting queen for the past year, but to have this happen has really put her nose out of joint.” The new series tells the story of Nicola Gobbo, Australia’s most notorious criminal defence attorney, and has the industry buzzing. “This is the best role for an Australian…

Just last week Married At First Sight’s Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant tied the knot for real, in a televised wedding, surrounded by family and friends. But a former co-star tells Woman’s Day that hours before Jules’ big day she was spotted having a meltdown, and now there’s concern for the salon manager’s wellbeing after the Nine TV production is said to have left the 36-year-old feeling “shattered”. “I’ve never seen her like that before,” says the source. “She was pulling people in and out of the guest list, second guessing her dress and was just anxious about the entire thing.” Last weekend, the couple enjoyed their second TV wedding, which featured on Nine’s A Current Affair. In recent weeks the usually unflappable bride came under the microscope for her…

Adele’s 19kg weight loss is not the only thing that’s slimmed down. Sources say the 31-year-old singer also had her nose totally overhauled as part of her post-marital makeover. “She looks like she’s had a nose job and they actually did a nice job,” Boston celebrity surgeon Dr Dave E David tells Woman’s Day. “They seem to have lengthened her nose, made it narrower and made it so her nostrils are pointing downward, rather that facing out at you. I think she looks so much better.” It’s an incredible transformation for a woman who’s been defiantly proud over her body shape. In 2015, she said, “I don’t want to have plastic surgery. I’m going to look like this forever. Deal with it.” But fellow partygoers at Drake’s recent birthday bash…

With the new season of The Crown finally here, insiders say Princess Anne is struggling to keep her cool composure over the show’s inevitable retelling of the night she was nearly kidnapped in 1974. “There’s no way the TV series will avoid this incident because it changed the royal family for years,” spills a palace insider. “Four people were shot trying to protect Anne and they very nearly failed, because they didn’t have any back-up. “It won’t be easy for Anne to see this being recreated for entertainment. She might be the queen of calm, but that night back in ’74 is the only thing that still rattles her cage.” On March 20, 1974, around 8pm, Princess Anne and her new husband, Mark Phillips, were being chauffeur-driven towards Buckingham Palace…

The Duchess of York had airport staff in stitches – and a little confused – when she hitched a ride on a suitcase scooter in Beijing last week. The 60-year-old ex-wife of Prince Andrew, who has recently been welcomed back into the royal family, posted a video of her larking about the airport check-in desk and almost colliding with a barrier. Fergie captioned the bizarre display, “When in Beijing Airport.... ‘If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you’.....go and get a scooter suitcase!” Talk about coming with some baggage!…

A bitter exchange of words in the makeup chair over the Today pecking order finally made co-host Deborah Knight snap and join forces with former frontman Karl Stefanovic to plot Georgie Gardner’s demise. “Deb could see the writing on the wall a while back and when she got wind of the Karl’s comeback she knew she needed to align herself with him, so she cleverly planted herself in ‘Camp Karl’,” says our source, adding, “Deb did what she had to in an attempt to save herself, and who cares about the consequences for Georgie!” ‘SMILING ASSASSIN’ Reinstated in his top spot, our source says Karl, 45, had the pick of who would star alongside him and chose Allison Langdon, but Deb was determined not to be left out. “Deb is…

When Angie Kent picked Carlin Sterritt in the romantic finale of The Bachelorette last week, fans couldn’t have been happier that the Gogglebox star had put all her doubts to one side and found The One. But despite their cathartic ending, an insider tells Woman’s Day that Angie, 29, has been left feeling torn since the show’s end, wondering if she has made the right decision by choosing the dubious suitor. While the new couple enjoyed a peaceful few days alone together in Byron Bay after filming, once they returned to their normal lives things went from bad to worse. “Angie quickly realised that Carlin was still caught up with his [estranged] wife,” a source dishes. “It was a real shock to her because he had told Angie they were…

Looking at their stunning daughter Liana dressed in white and gazing into the eyes of her handsome fiance photographer Dan Martinovich as they attended a friend’s wedding last month, proud parents John “Strop” Cornell, 78, and his wife Delvene Delaney, 68, couldn’t help but think about their little girl’s upcoming nuptials. “Nothing is more important to Strop and Delvene than family, so to know that Liana has found someone she wants to spend the rest of her life with has them overjoyed,” reveals a source. The Aussie icons, who were Paul Hogan’s sidekicks in their comedic heyday, can’t wait for Liana to marry her soulmate and share an everlasting love just like theirs – and Liana is just as keen to become Dan’s wife. LIKE HER PARENTS Earlier this month…

Cheeky nine-year-old Weston Allen loves nothing more than kicking a footy around with his mates, but he owes his life to a random tick bite. Just weeks ago, the freckle-faced third grader was full of beans, but after his mum Amy, 29, found a tiny parasite embedded in his scalp, he began complaining of sore legs. Worried it may be related to the tick, she and dad James, 33, an emergency doctor at the Gold Coast Hospital, took their boy for a blood test. “James and I were led into a small room with the doctor and I knew something else was wrong. That was the moment our world came crashing down,” Amy says. Weston was diagnosed with an aggressive blood cancer known as Burkitt’s leukaemia/lymphoma and immediately admitted to…

Monty reassures Janet AMANDA SAYS Monty comes straight through and tells me his mum Janet is still going over what happened and blaming herself. Monty tells Janet she did nothing wrong and it might’ve been something he picked up in her friend’s garden. Monty knows his mum is still in shock as he only passed about eight months ago, at the age of nine, and he’d been with Janet since he was a puppy. Monty shows Janet he’s with another dog, Alfie. Monty and Alfie were very good friends and grew up together. Monty shows me he had many toys but there was one in particular that he loves – a coloured stuffed ball. JANET SAYS I reached out following the sudden loss of Monty, who I miss terribly. I’ve…

Vitamins and supplements are super popular right now, so we totally get it if you want to run out and put them all in your basket. But it’s important to note first that not all vitamins work in harmony and some can rule out the benefits of others or simply double up. IRON & CALCIUM While calcium helps to maintain the density of your bones and iron aids production of red blood cells to prevent anaemia, you’d think this duo would make a killer combo. Wrong! It turns out that calcium supplements can stop your body effectively absorbing iron. If you are required to have both of these supplements, it’s recommended to take them several hours apart from one another. On the other hand, vitamin C is pretty much iron’s…

Johnny Depp has always been open about his battle with the booze, but insiders say friends are growing concerned for the 56-year-old who is showing no signs of sobering up. According to sources, the actor’s constant travel demands are proving too much of a temptation for the troubled star. “Johnny was still ordering vodka to his room by the bottle at 3am the night before a recent event,” a source dishes. “He was gulping the booze from a coffee cup. It was wild!”…

After a difficult year filled with one headline-hitting drama after the next, it looks like this Christmas is set to be a special one for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who have some very big news to share – they’re expecting baby number four! The exciting news comes after a glowing Kate was spotted sneaking into a London hospital with William for what palace insiders are buzzing was a “pre-announcement check-up”. FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT The 37-year-old mum to George, six, Charlotte, four, and Louis, 18 months, has remained quiet on the baby rumours, which went into a frenzy after William, also 37, reportedly made a secret trip to inform the Queen of their news last week. “It’s all anyone can talk about – and what a relief after the nightmare…

When their characters Chandler Bing and Monica Geller finally began dating after four seasons of Friends, fans could not have been more excited for Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox. But for Matthew, the onscreen romance was the result of years of him secretly petitioning writers to hook Chandler up with Monica after he fell in love with her 26 years ago. According to our insiders, it was the set’s worst-kept secret that Matthew had harboured a barely concealed crush on his gorgeous co-star ever since meeting her in 1993, the year before their 10-season sitcom took over the world. ONSCREEN CHEMISTRY “Matt was bowled over by Courteney, from her good looks to her wicked sense of humour,” says a show insider. “His feelings for her were written all over his…

While Carlin is having a bad case of the ex, it turns out he’s not the only one! One contestant tells Woman’s Day that Angie found out via social media that her ex-boyfriend got engaged during filming. “She mentioned it to the boys one night and tried to laugh it off, but we could tell she was upset about it,” he dishes. “She started doubting her connection with the boys from that moment forward.” According to the contestant, there was also talk Angie had even reached out to her ex after finding out the news. “The boys started to wonder if she might still be in love with him,” he explains. “With everything going on, you couldn’t blame her for wondering if she’d made the right decision signing up for…

Liana’s parents are besties with Paul Hogan, after Strop produced The Paul Hogan Show, and he and Delvene both starred on it. Their children are just as close to Paul, and he’s Liana’s godfather! The actress says he was a great support to her when she was trying to break into showbusiness in LA. “He’s the best godfather you could ask for, he’s so funny. When we go out for dinner, because I’m so green and vegie-oriented and he loves meat, it’s always this battle of what restaurant we’re going to. He can make you laugh at anything. He’s so quick and witty and it’s so nice seeing him and dad together because they’re still able to have that bond and enjoy each other’s presence and make light of anything.”…

JUST ADD JEWELLERY This depends on the detailing already on the piece, as overly embellished necklines or busy prints may not need additional bling. But to transform simple styles from day to night, add a necklace or statement earrings. FINISH WITH FLATS The beauty of summer dressing is comfy flats are a perfectly acceptable accessory for most occasions. For a dressy finish, beaded or metallic varieties really glam things up. BAGS OF STYLE Take advantage of the season’s basket trend as the complementary carry-all of kaftans by day. Then switch to a coordinating clutch to take the look from poolside to party.…

Financial or economic abuse is the use of a partner, family member or friend’s financial assets to control or manipulate them. “There are three primary ways perpetrators can inflict financial abuse: financial control, financial exploitation or sabotage of work or study, which limits economic opportunities,” says Associate Professor Jan Breckenridge of the University of NSW Gendered Violence Research Network. So who does it affect and how can someone find their way out? UNDERSTANDING YOUR SITUATION Some of the main characteristics of financial abuse include withholding money, tracking the other person’s spending online, giving them no access to their own accounts or creating debts in their name. But it doesn’t always have to be so obvious. “For instance, a perpetrator might change the password on joint accounts without providing the new…

But since having my little girl Maggie, who has just started nursery – hello germs – I’ve finally seen the light! Whether it’s giving my sleep-deprived skin a much-needed boost with a collagen supplement or using magnesium to help me unwind after a stressful week of juggling life, kids and work, there’s no denying that supplements make my life easier and make me feel better.

“The first thing to try is eating foods naturally rich in collagen – go for fish, meat and dairy – and then see whether you’d like to try a collagen supplement as well,” Will says. The main sources of dietary collagen used in supplements come from the sea or are made from cows – such as the collagen used in Nature’s Way Beauty Collagen Tablets (naturesway.com.au $29.99). “This collagen is a clinically trialled, bovine sourced, type 1 and type 3 hydrolised collagen called Verisol,” says PharmaCare vitamin trainer and naturopath Carmen Lizasoain.…

They became overnight millionaires after taking home $730,000 from winning The Block and selling their Cairns home for $410,000, but the old adage, money can’t buy you happiness, seems to be proving true for Tess Cattana and Luke Struber. The newlyweds were seen looking strained at Cairns airport, with Tess, 28, looking sternly at Luke, 30, as they engaged in a heated debate. During the show the couple regularly blasted each other and threatened to walk out several times, with Tess at one point screaming that it was “the worst honeymoon ever”. “Mentally it is still very hard. We’re living this life we never thought we would live,” Tess said after the show wrapped up.…

Proud dad Owen Wilson has gushed relentlessly on talk shows about being father to his two sons, Robert, seven, and Finn, five, but when it comes to his 13-month-old daughter Lyla – who’s the spitting image of the 50-year-old millionaire movie star – it’s a different story! Last week, Owen’s former girlfriend Varunie Vongsvirates, 35, was asked what kind of a dad he is to their daughter – and she didn’t hold back. “Owen has never met Lyla. Never,” she says. “He helps financially but it’s never been about that. Lyla needs a father. It’s ironic how [Owen] keeps getting these father roles... and he’s never met his own daughter.” When asked if she had a message for Owen, who she dated casually for more than five years, Varunie…

In what’s being considered the ultimate snub, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have turned down the Queen’s invite to Sandringham this Christmas to spend time with Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland instead. The shock move will do little to ease tensions between Harry, 35, and his brother William, however it’s a double blow for the Queen, 93, who is said to be “disappointed” she won’t get to see her great-grandson Archie enjoy his first Christmas. Insiders say the trip with Meghan’s family is part of a six-week break away from duties for Harry and Meghan, 38, who are determined to spend “much-needed” family time together with six-month-old Archie. “It’s upsetting, but to be honest it’s not a huge surprise that they’d do something like this,” one palace insider tells. “In…

After endless discussion over whether the original six members of the Friends cast would ever reunite, reports out of Hollywood have confirmed it’s 100 per cent happening! Matthew, Courteney, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc are ironing out a contract with HBO Max to create a lucrative “one-off, unscripted show”. The news comes after Jen shared a picture on Instagram of the cast hanging out.…

With a personal makeup artist who travels the world with her and a recently gifted Rolls-Royce in her car spot, model-turned-fashion designer Imogen Anthony has become accustomed to leading the high life. But friends say the blonde bombshell with a penchant for baring her flesh would have to walk away with very little right now if she and shock jock Kyle Sandilands divided up their property following their split. “Kyle’s spending has always been out of control, and I know there’s not much cash lying around at the moment,” reveals one insider, who says even the $3 million farm the couple own in the NSW Southern Highlands is mortgaged. “If Imogen pushed for a settlement, she’d find there wasn’t that much to fight over. Kyle has a $5 million collection…

He was crowned winner of the first season of Australia’s The Biggest Loser, but Adriano “Adro” Sarnelli is most definitely the biggest loser now. Just years after Woman’s Day reported he’d shockingly run off with his brother’s wife, we can now reveal the fitness fanatic has been charged with fraud and sentenced to imprisonment. In April this year, Adro, who has shut down his Instagram account, was prosecuted in the Richlands Magistrates Court in Queensland after pleading guilty to failing to disclose earnings and property after filing for bankruptcy in 2015. The disgraced Gold Coast star – who took home the $200,000 prize after losing a staggering 51.3kg on the hit reality show in 2006 – failed to tell his trustee that he had inherited $32,984.48 from his late mother’s…

Week 1 NOV 18-24 An action plan will make the overwhelming achievable – and Harvard psychologists say we’ll feel better and more productive when we focus on our “done” list. Aside from gifts and groceries, devise a budget, too. The average Australian spends $1325 during the festive season, according to a survey by finder.com.au, so decide how much you can afford and stick to it. Accredited exercise physiologist Carly Ryan recommends taking it easy with social events as well. “Don’t overbook yourself!” she says. “Stress can lead to overeating and over-drinking – and feeling the guilt later.” Week 2 NOV 25-DEC 1 “Keeping up your activity levels and even bumping it up a bit over the silly season helps to burn some of those extra kilojoules we might consume from…

Recharging and unwinding were my top priorities when I took a week out from work, hubby and the kids to visit Vietnam. But what I got out of the country’s latest hotspots was so much more than eating, sleeping and relaxing... Finish here: LAGUNA LANG CO My final destination was a new resort community from the Banyan Tree Group, one hour from Danang airport. The villas at Laguna Lang Co are breathtaking with lagoon views, private pool, and outdoor shower. As a final indulgence, I spent my final night at neighbouring Angsana Lang Co, only a few minutes’ boat transfer from Banyan Tree. Angsana offers a great selection of outdoor activities for thrillseekers, such as jetskiing and wakeboarding. For the chillseekers, a lazy dip in the 300-metre long…

AVOCADO Avocado is best eaten raw, with a pinch of salt to really enhance the flavour. Try adding it to your smoothie for a creamier and thicker texture. If you find it hard to get your kids eating avocado, make avo ice-cream – peel, destone and scoop the flesh into a processor with a sweetener and a dash of milk, then freeze until ready. CUCUMBER The perfect vegies to throw into any salad, cucumbers are also great in yoghurt-based dips and dressings. I like to leave the skin on to add more texture, colour and flavour. For larger cucumbers, scoop out the seeds to prevent a soggy salad. They’re also very easy to grow in containers and can be a fun activity to do with kids. EGGPLANT Eggplant is often…

Mr Inbetween FRIDAY, 8PM, FOXTEL FOX SHOWCASE Most TV finales offer a turning point for the protagonist, but Mr Inbetween is unlike most shows. In this season we’ve watched Ray (Scott Ryan) lurch from one disaster to the next as he attempts to make ends meet as a professional hitman. In the finale, Ray tackles his last shot at redemption as he and Dave (Matt Nable) embark on the hunt for the buried money promised to them by Alex (Josh McConville).

FOR ANTI-AGEING This protein is the most abundant in our skin, making up for around 70 per cent of it. “Collagen provides structure and strength,” says PharmaCare vitamin trainer and naturopath Carmen Lizasoain. “This is why we need to replace our lost collagen, and to assist with improving skin elasticity and firmness, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving nail strength, as well as nourishing our joints, muscles and improving the integrity of our gastrointestinal system and wound healing.” Unfortunately our production of collagen begins to decline with age, which is why taking a supplement can help combat this. “By the time we are 40 we have lost 25 per cent of the body’s collagen, and by the time we are 60 we’ve lost 50 per cent,” says Carmen. Collagen supplements…
