Sources close to Tom Cruise say he believes recent admissions by Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes – who divorced him in 2001 and 2012 respectively – were sheer coincidence. But were they? Our insiders say 41-year-old Katie’s recent comments about her split from Tom being “a funny time”, along with Nic, 52, giving her former PA permission to talk about that era, was a combined effort between the two women who have become close friends behind the scenes. “Katie and Nicole talk on the phone every now and then,” reveals a source. “Nicole helped Katie through her split secretly to the best of her ability, and it’s something Katie will always appreciate. It wouldn’t surprise me if they agreed to speak out together, sort of, as a way to remind…

First it was Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry overshadowing her at every turn, then her father was publicly lambasted for his friendship with late sex offender paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. But finally it seemed like Princess Beatrice, 31, was getting the wedding of her dreams to fiance Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 36. Now, it’s been crushed, thanks to global panic over the coronavirus and government warnings not to gather in groups – not even for a royal wedding! “Beatrice has been pretty straight-faced about most of the drama. But when she got the phone call the wedding will probably have to be cancelled or only close family attend, she came undone,” tells a close friend. The friend reveals the hysterical side is that Beatrice thinks it’s all bad karma for “stealing Edo…

While the girls’ night was rocked by bitter words and an endless supply of potent cocktails, on the other side of town the boys’ night was also heading for disaster. Talking exclusively to Woman’s Day, a source says the grooms completely unravelled after former contestants resurfaced one by one, bringing simmering tensions to the boil – particularly between Ivan Sarakula and Michael Goonan. Ever since Michael, 28, accused Aleks Markovic, 26, of cheating on Ivan, 30 – which Aleks denied – the once-friendly grooms have been fighting over the truth of the allegations, with Ivan claiming his bride was faithful and they’re still together. “Michael didn’t hold back and they went head to head in a full-blown yelling match over Aleks,” the source says. In one instance, tensions became so…

Seven’s “secret weapon” to combat the possible cancellation of the Tokyo Olympics is a blockbuster and star-studded revival of popular ’90s reality show Who Dares Wins. But even before it began filming the Aussie celeb version SAS: Who Dares Wins, the show was thrown into turmoil because of COVID-19 travel restrictions – and the shock discovery that one of its biggest stars is pregnant. Olympian Jana Pitman, 37, had to be swiftly removed from the set in Queenstown, New Zealand, after she announced she was expecting her fourth child. “Everything about Jana since she arrived has been high drama!” reveals one insider, who says she was hard to miss on the set because Jana was proudly parading around in her Olympic team jacket from 16 years ago. ‘Everything about Jana…

WHAT: Gum rejuvenation surgery WHERE: DFY Dental, Sydney VERDICT: After years of over-brushing, braces (twice!) and some unlucky genetics, my gums were seriously receding – so it was time to fix them! Full disclosure – the surgery is quite invasive. After being numbed and sedated, my top gums were lifted away from my teeth, and two grafts were taken from the roof of my mouth to basically sew on as “new gum” tissue. The swelling lasted about five days, and I had to adopt a liquid diet for a week. But over four weeks, my gums healed completely and I’m thrilled with the result. No pain, no gain, right?…

His family life in Nashville – raising children with the love of his life in the heart of country music – is what Keith Urban always dreamed of. But while Kiwi-born, Aussie-raised Keith has told friends he never wants to leave his spiritual home in the States, unfortunately for the country crooner, 52, real life is getting in the way. His wife Nicole Kidman, also 52, has declared she wants to relocate back to Australia with their daughters Sunday, 11, and Faith, nine, to be closer to her 80-year-old mum Janelle, who has a cardiac condition. It comes just months after her sister Antonia, 49, also moved home from Singapore. Last weekend, it was reported Nicole has already enrolled their daughters in a private girls’ school, which is close to…

WHAT IS IT? A scalp detox is basically cleansing and exfoliating it to promote a healthy scalp. Your scalp is an extension of the skin on your face, so you should look after it the same way. Great skin comes from regular cleansing and exfoliating, so it only makes sense we do the same for our scalps… WHY DO WE NEED IT? “The hair can trap oil, sweat and heat, which means the scalp can become a breeding ground for yeast and bacteria, which can irritate the skin and cause you to itch,” explains De Lorenzo educator Jason McRae. “A regular deep cleanse of the scalp can prevent yeast from thriving within your natural scalp oils and stop irritation.” HOW DO I DO IT? Invest in a deep-cleansing product such…

Veteran Australian comic Judith Lucy, 51, gives Woman’s Day the lowdown about her new podcast entitled Overwhelmed & Dying. This is such a refreshing take on a podcast! What made you come up with this concept? I always tend to bang on about what’s happening to me and work under the assumption that if it’s happening to me then it’s probably happening to others, too. You’ve always been open about your personal life. Do you find it easy to talk about? I’ll always remember the first gig I had in Melbourne, I had so many props – I made the audience wrap themselves in toilet paper! After the show, a woman came up to me and said, “Maybe you should just talk about yourself,” and from then on in that’s…
