After yet another extraordinary week in the Megxit saga, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex snuck out of Canada before its borders were closed, despite the couple insisting they would make their home in the Commonwealth country. For months, they steadfastly ignored reports that Canada was just a lily pad before they leapfrogged towards Meghan’s real goal – living in Hollywood. But that’s exactly what happened after their rushed journey on a private jet into LA, with their 10-month-old son Archie in tow. And now, say sources, the palace is worried 38-year-old Meghan’s real scheming will begin. “You can’t tell me that this wasn’t her plan all along, to bring her boys to America so she could live the celebrity life she’d always dreamed of,” says our insider. “It all…

Like many others around the world, the Duchess of Cornwell has been staying in – particularly after Charles’ recent diagnosis with coronavirus – but she’s still one very social royal! It has been revealed the tech-savvy 72-year-old uses the social networking app Houseparty, which allows her to stay in touch with friends and family from her home in Scotland.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who she says are an “absolute disgrace” to the rest of the family.…

But after wrapping her time on MAFS in 2018, the mother-of-one had her fillers dissolved after online trolls abused her for her look. “[The doctor] dissolved all my fillers and it feels amazing. My lips are more liberated and I feel like I’ve got my eyes back, now the puffiness has gone,” says Tracey.

ALYCE PLATT She started out as a singer and actor, starring in soap opera Sons And Daughters. But it was Sale that made Alyce, 56, a much-loved household name, and she co-hosted it from 1986-91 before gaining the part of Jen Handley in Neighbours and Sarah Wilkes in A Country Practice. She married Claude Carranza in 2004 – the same year she released the first of three albums. DELVENE DELANEY This former pageant winner and Brisbane TV weather presenter was a huge star before she joined Sale, having appeared in The Box and The Young Doctors. She also became well-known as a recurring cast member of The Paul Hogan Show in the late ’70s with husband John Cornell, who played Strop. Delvene, 68, now lives on the NSW north coast…

BLENDER To clean a blender without scrubbing all the nooks and crannies, fill it halfway with hot tap water, with a few drops of dishwashing liquid soap. Blend the soapy mixture on high speed for one or two minutes, then pour out the water (and everything else) and rinse the canister to get rid of soap residue. DISHWASHER Your dishwasher does an awful lot of cleaning. Don’t forget that it also needs a little TLC from time to time. Start by rolling out the racks and taking a close look at the drain, inspecting it for any chunks that might be partially plugging it up. Next, to get rid of grime and odours, replace the racks and place a dishwasher-safe bowl facing up on the top rack. Fill the bowl…

STOP CARING WHAT PEOPLE THINK Keep a healthy distance between yourself and anyone who puts you down or makes you feel bad about yourself. It’s said nobody can make us feel anything, but we can certainly remove ourselves from the situations and triggers that conspire to make us feel rubbish. Nothing says grown-up like rising above. This could be from the friend who gives you the guilts because you don’t call often enough, to the partner who says, “Oh – you’re wearing that?” There’s a saying that roughly a third of the people you meet in life are going to realise how great you are, another third will actively dislike you and the last third will be coolly indifferent to your charms. Operate on the assumption that it’s true, and…

Hiding something? She’s always been a little fragile about her age despite being 45 years young, so it’s little wonder Victoria Beckham is in no rush to become someone’s grandma. Unfortunately for her, it seems her eldest son Brooklyn, 21, isn’t leaving her with much choice. Woman’s Day understands that Brooklyn and his rumoured fiancee Nicola Peltz are planning to start a family, despite their tender years. “Brooklyn has told his parents they’re trying for a child and there’s nothing they can do to stop him,” says an insider. ‘She thinks she’s too young and cool to be a little old nanna’ “David got over his initial panic and seems quite chuffed at the thought of becoming a grandpa, but Posh is spiralling something chronic behind closed doors. She would…

Despite splitting in 2016, Aussie actress Naomi Watts and her ex-partner Liev Schreiber have worked hard to co-parent their two children over the years. The New York-based actor even bought a home in LA’s Venice Beach so he could be closer to his family. And in a bid to make self-isolation a little easier for their kids Alexander, 12, and Samuel Kai, 11, Naomi, Liev and his new girlfriend Taylor Neisen, 27, held an impromptu sports day at her home. The trio were seen playing basketball together in Naomi’s driveway-turned-makeshift court, where the couple’s eldest joined them for a game. Later, Naomi, 51, and Liev, 52, even headed out for a run. The actress says of their family, “We’re doing things very differently. I’m pretty proud of us, corny as…

JESSE’S SHOCK DRUG ALLEGATIONS He’s the blue-eyed, baby-faced star dubbed Bondi Rescue’s “loveable rogue” for his well-documented troubled past, but Bra Boy Jesse Polock is determined to clear his name after being caught up in a shocking alleged drug bust last year. The dad-of-one, 29 – who sensationally quit the show last year – was charged with one count of supplying prohibited drugs and two counts of possession, after police allegedly found cocaine and ketamine during the December bust in Maroubra. Jesse has pleaded not guilty to the supplying charges, but has not yet entered a plea for the possession charge. He will face a magistrate in May. His lawyer Chayana Miers has divulged the pressures of Jesse’s role as a professional lifeguard, revealing he quit “due to numerous suicides…

LINA MARCIANO Adelaide teenager Lina Marciano was only steps from safety when her killer is believed to have attacked. The 19-year-old had parked her white Honda motorcycle in the KFC car park in the Adelaide suburb of Nailsworth and was due at a Greek dancing lesson at the primary school just across the road. Lina never made the dance class. Her 1978 murder remains unsolved, a brutal irony for her family knowing that the 42-year mystery was paramount in detectives ultimately solving the serial killing frenzy that was to become known as the Truro murders. Investigators hunting Lina’s killer made links with seven other young women in and around Adelaide who had gone missing just a year before the teen was murdered. James Miller was convicted of six of those…

This is a house I’ll never move from. It really is so special to me,” declares Courteney Cox of her Malibu property. After buying the estate in 2007, the actress, 55, enlisted the help of her design team to remodel the space, transforming it from a “rustic house” into a modernist retreat – which took two years. Courteney shares the pad with daughter Coco, 15 (whose dad is Court’s ex David Arquette), and fiance Johnny McDaid, 43, who splits his time between the States and the UK. And on the weekends, she has a full house. “I have people over every Sunday. I’ve done that for the last 20 years,” she shares, adding that her guests typically gather on the massive patio. Indoors, Courteney has a neutral but “cosy” colour…

‘I’M ACTING NEXT TO THE GUY I HAD A SCHOOLYARD CRUSH ON!’ She’d rather be known as an actor than a transgender actor, but 33-year-old trail blazer Daniielle Alexis, who completed her lifelong wish to become a woman 14 years ago, now proudly owns her “trans truth” in every role she auditions for. Sitting down with Woman’s Day, The Heights star says she takes her role model status very seriously. The Heights is an incredible Aussie drama. How did you land the role?

David and Victoria have told friends they’re happy for his father Ted, who last week announced his engagement to British lawyer Hilary Meredith, despite tensions in the Beckham camp. Ted, 71, met his second bride-to-be, 60, through their mutual charity work for army vets at Broughton House Veteran Care Village last year, and soon after started dating. “While there are far more important things going on in the world right now, we are thrilled to say we are happily engaged,” they told British media from their home in Cheshire. A source says, “Things are tense between David and his dad after Victoria wouldn’t let Hilary’s daughter come along to family events recently. Nevertheless, David is thrilled for his ol’ man.” Ted and David’s mum Sandra divorced in 2002 after being…

Charismatic sociopath Christopher Worrell and his drifter lover James Miller went on a two-month “thrill kill” murder spree in the late 1970s that only ended when Worrell was killed in a car accident. Between December 23, 1976 and February 12, 1977, seven women aged between 15 and 26 were abducted and brutally murdered in and around Adelaide. They were later dubbed the Truro murders because five of the seven victims were dumped near the town, about 80km from the South Australian capital. The first victim, Veronica Knight, 18, was also the first to be found in bushland near Truro in 1978, sparking a huge search as authorities realised a serial killer was at work. Worrell, 23, had led his 38-year-old lover into abducting the young women off suburban streets before…

OAT MILK Oat milk has recently had a resurgence, thanks to its creamy taste and texture, plus great health benefits, too. “The type of fibre present in oats, known as beta-glucan, has been shown to improve cholesterol levels as well as being associated with reduced risk of heart disease,” dietitian Bronwen Greenfield tells Good Food magazine. “The fibre also provides us with a source of prebiotics, [which] is important for the growth of healthy gut bacteria.” Oats also contain B vitamins thiamine and folate, and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and copper. It’s important to note that oat milk is higher in kilojoules per serving than soy and almond milk. CASHEW MILK This guy is pretty much head to head with almond milk, but has a fraction less kilojoules…
