For a woman who famously said she doesn’t read anything she hasn’t written herself, supermodel Elle Macpherson surprised me with some awesome wisdom about ageing last week. As I approach my 40th birthday and obsess over my wrinkly old hands, the ridiculously beautiful 52-year-old put it all into perspective when she revealed that even she looks back at pictures of her younger self and sees a dork with “insecurity written all over my face” (p16). It made me realise I’d rather be a confident woman with old hands than insecure and, well, be a hand model… You know what I mean! But Elle’s not my only hero this week. There’s also Oprah, who’s bitten the bullet and decided to marry her sweetheart of 30 years (p26). Proving it’s never too…
Bethenny Frankel OR Rachel McAdams Blonde Rachel nails this tonal look by Solace London. Her chic clutch adds to the outfit too, while Bethenny’s watermelon purse only takes away. Maria Bello OR Heidi Klum Heidi single-handedly turns up the sun with her gorgeous tan, primrose handbag and white-hot Alexis jumpsuit. Maria goes beachy too with a relaxed hairdo, but her black pumps miss the mark. Malin Akerman OR Maya Rudolph Jumpsuits are big right now! While Malin rocks this Stella McCartney version with a cheeky plunging neckline, Maya’s modest take and nude sandals keep the focus on the gorgeous daisy-print fabric. Sofia Richie OR Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Nicole Richie’s sister and the actress both shine in this silk Galvan playsuit – but Rosie has the length spot-on. Plus her monochrome accessories…
‘Jess is tortured by the situation and feels she’s powerless’ ‘Jess thought they could move on, but it hasn’t worked out’ Jess Marais is at her wits’ end. Yes, her career as one of Australia’s most in-demand actresses has taken her away from daughter Scout more and more – but that’s not the only reason she gets to spend less time with the four-year-old than she would like. “It kills Jess that she can’t spend more time with Scout” reveals one close friend. “She flies up from Melbourne to see Scout every second weekend, which is when her ex [Home and Away actor James Stewart] has agreed she can spend time with their daughter – and that’s not nearly enough!” Tragic fallout Friends blame James, 40, for the heartache Jess…
‘Mary lights up the room with her aura – she’s going to be a fantastic queen’ She’s been stepping up and taking on more responsibility than ever before. Now, in a landmark survey that has shocked royal watchers, the Danish people have declared that they want hardworking Princess Mary to become Queen of Denmark. In a new poll conducted by Danish publication Se og Hør, 66 per cent of the population think Princess Mary and her husband Crown Prince Frederik are the best people to lead their country into the future. And an astounding 75 per cent of Danes would approve if the current monarch, Fred’s mum Queen Margrethe, abdicated now and handed responsibility to the next generation. Reigning supreme The news comes just days after Mary visited a Marc…
I remember Mum searching my room that night saying, ‘Where’s my baby? Where’s my baby?’” says Burke Ramsey in his first-ever interview since his six-year-old sister JonBenet was found beaten and strangled to death in the basement of the family’s Colorado home on December 26, 1996. In one of the world’s most chilling cold cases, the killer of the child-pageant star JonBenet has never been found. Now, after a 20-year silence, her big brother Burke – who was just nine at the time of the brutal killing – reveals what he knows about the death. “I know people think I did it, that my parents did it. I know we were suspects ” says Burke, now 29. Brutally slain JonBenet’s family quickly came under suspicion. While police and public speculation…
‘I’ll look at pictures and think, God I was so gorgeous there, but didn’t feel it’ After 30 years in the spotlight, supermodel Elle Macpherson believes she’s far more at ease at 52 than she ever was in her youth – and it shows. “I feel better now than I’ve ever felt ” says Elle, who just launched her new range of underwear, Elle Macpherson Body. “I look at pictures of myself when I was younger and I think, ‘God, I was so gorgeous there, but I didn’t feel it ’ Or, ‘Wow, I look so much better now.’ “I was such a dork, and I can see insecurity written all over my face, trying to be something I wasn’t – even though at the time I thought I was…
