It’s been 40 years since heartbroken mother Lindy Chamberlain lost her baby to a dingo at Uluru, a shocking turn of events that then saw her wrongly imprisoned in what remains, to this day, one of the country’s most publicised murder trials. Then, 10 years ago, Woman’s Day joined Lindy on a return journey to the place where she lost 10-week-old Azaria, in what was an incredibly emotional experience for all those involved. This week, on page 40, we speak exclusively to an eyewitness from that fateful night, who tells us why she never once doubted the innocence of the woman who would go on to become a part of one of the most iconic stories in the history of our nation.…

First they postponed their nuptials due to coronavirus, but now all the signs are pointing to Scarlett Johansson and Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost’s wedding being cancelled for good! The 35-year-old actress was spotted grocery shopping without her $550,000 engagement ring last week, and sources say the couple have decided to call it quits. “He’s your typical comedian – funny on stage, but miserable as hell when the show’s over,” says a source. According to our insider, one of the couple’s issues is 38-year–old Colin’s insecurity over Scarlett’s famous love-life. “He’s incredibly insecure about her past relationships,” says the source. “Scarlett feels like he’s a different person these days.”…

It wasn’t long after the Duchess of Sussex had her Queen-issued Welsh gold wedding band on her finger before rumours surfaced that Prince Harry was cutting his lifelong friendship group away – in particular the women. Gone from his social circle are the likes of his ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas, his close friend Ellie Goulding and even his sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge. Sources tell Woman’s Day that the move was all at the behest of his wife, who is “more insecure than she would dare let anyone think”, and lets Harry know exactly what she thinks about his cosy friendships by throwing a well-timed wobbly every so often. But things have only got worse for Meghan, 39, since she moved to California with the former Suits star “up against a…

JENNIFER GARNER & BEN AFFLECK When the pandemic first broke out, sources say Jen banned her ex from seeing their children. “He had just gone public with Ana de Armas. They must have proved themselves, since Jen eventually let the kids go on holidays with them.” HEIDI KLUM & SEAL Seal tried to block Heidi from taking the kids to Germany, but she won. Leni, 16, wrote a letter to the court saying as much as they loved their dad, they wanted to join their mum. GWEN STEFANI & GAVIN ROSSDALE Gwen and her partner Blake Shelton isolated with her three children. Gavin hinted he wasn’t happy about the arrangement but allowed it. NAOMI WATTS & LIEV SCHREIBER Despite splitting in 2016 after 11 years, Naomi and Liev have remained…

As Katie Holmes’ PDAfilled tour of New York on the arm of her new man Emilio Vitolo Jr continues, there’s a groundswell of concern among her friends over the restaurateur’s motives. More details are emerging about the relationship, with insiders claiming he was not only engaged to another woman, Rachel Emmons, at the time he started dating Katie, but also trawling celebrity dating app Raya to meet famous women. “The guy’s a total star wannabe,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “He’s been hanging around celebs for years and wanted his own piece of the action. Katie’s perfect because she was super lonely after splitting from Jamie and he’s making her feel like a princess, but one wonders how long he’ll keep that up.” At the time of writing, Katie, 41,…

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23 Here comes the Sun, literally, into your sign. Think of this week as coming out of a dark period of introspection, back into the light. It’s not going to be easy though.

DARK CHOCOLATE Milk and white chocolate aren’t helpful here, but chocolate with at least 70 per cent cocoa helps release dopamine in your brain. Dark choccie also has plenty of magnesium and zinc, which can help stabilise moods. BANANAS The tropical fruit contains tyrosine, which is an amino acid the body uses to produce dopamine. Eating a banana at peak ripeness is said to deliver the most tyrosine.

Just one week after details about her highly anticipated nuptials were seemingly leaked by her co-star Edwina Bartholomew, Sunrise host Samantha Armytage has been forced to call off her wedding to fiance Richard Lavender. The 44-year-old revealed she’d hoped to have a large wedding, but the pandemic has made that impossible and left her with no other choice but to postpone the big day until 2021. “Because we want to have a party with more than 20 people, we have sort of put it on hold,” says the presenter, who announced her engagement to the 60-year-old businessman in June. “We will get married... we will get there.”…

Her debut chat show included interviews with famous friends Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, and insiders say Drew Barrymore, 45, has rival talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres running scared! “The thing that makes any chat show are the guests, and Drew has way more famous pals in her phone than Ellen – and all of them are her close personal friends,” says a source. The launch of The Drew Barrymore Show is the last thing an embattled Ellen, 64, needs, as she continues to face a slew of bullying claims. “With all the problems facing Ellen, TV viewers are ready for someone new. Ellen must be hoping Drew gets bored with doing it, but it’s not looking likely.”…

Far from love at first sight, Grant and Cheryl “Chezzi” Denyer have confessed they “hated each other” after meeting as co-workers on set of Seven’s Sunrise in 2005! But most shocking of all, Chezzi was married and Grant was dating someone else when they met and eventually fell in love. At the time, Grant, 43, was a weatherman, while Chezzi, 40, was his producer. “It was a rough journey – it wasn’t like you see in the movies,” Chezzi reveals on the couple’s podcast It’s All True?, admitting she found Grant “annoying” because he wasn’t doing his job properly, while he said he found her “more annoying” for bossing him around. ‘HOMEWRECKER’ “It was problematic – it took a long time to navigate,” says the Family Feud host, who confirmed…

Thanks to its famous cliffhangers and ensemble cast, the Scream series has become of one of the world’s most popular slasher film franchises. And with news that a fifth instalment is headed into production this year, rumours are rife that returning stars and former couple Courteney Cox and David Arquette, who famously fell in love on the horror film’s set in 1996, could be about to do so all over again! Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day, a well-placed insider reveals the actors, who called time on their 11-year marriage in 2010 before finally divorcing in 2013, have tongues wagging, with friends secretly hoping they’ll give their romance another shot as they step back into the shoes of their beloved screen characters, husband and wife, Gail and Dewey Riley.

Sick of having to take her glasses off to play princesses with her friends, bespectacled beauty Lowri Moore took matters into her own hands. At just nine years old, she penned a letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger, calling for more characters “wearing glasses like me”. “I used to think I should take off my glasses to be a princess because princesses never had glasses on,” Lowri tells Woman’s Day. “I saw so many films where the character took off their glasses to become beautiful... I thought having a character who wears them would give young people a role model to look up to.” The UK schoolgirl’s letter went viral, capturing hearts around the world. And while her Disney dream didn’t come true, Lowri, now 11, did get the attention…

Many of us work hard to keep our bodies fit and strong, but could your workouts be wearing you down? Van Marinos, founder of the over-50s fitness business Community Moves, shares how you can keep your body at its best for the long run. TECHNIQUE “If we don’t learn how to move properly and effectively, we can set ourselves up for a range of issues later in life,” says Van. “Work with an exercise professional that is experienced at dealing with someone of your age, ability, and physical condition.” For example, take the shoulder: people perform all sorts of unstable pulling and pressing movements during their workouts that could lead to rotator cuff injuries. So, by learning the correct form for any activity you do, you can reduce the risk…

Ava Phillippe and her mother Reese Witherspoon are more like sisters than mother and child, but sources say the same can’t be said for the 21-year-old and her father Ryan Phillippe. Insiders close to Reese’s daughter say her relationship with her dad “is fraught” because “she hates how he hits on girls who are too close to her own age”. Over the years there have been several reports of Ryan, 46 partying with 20-somethings. “Also having an ex claim Ryan physically assaulted her a few years ago makes it all the more difficult for Ava to respect her dad,” says a source. Reese, 44, who was married to Ryan from 1999 to 2008, is “heartbroken” at the rift in her family. “She understands Ava’s feelings and supports her, but she…

If there was any doubt as to whether Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber and Aussie heartthrob Jacob Elordi were dating, there’s none now! The 19-year-old model and the 23-year-old Queenslander, star of The Kissing Booth, took their romance to the streets of New York last week, enjoying a series of cosy dates. “Kaia and Jacob actually have more in common than you think,” says an insider. “They might be checking out the sites in New York right now, but they’re both huge beach bums and can’t wait to hit the surf on the west coast together. She actually has a bunch of surfboards at the family’s Malibu house he can borrow.” And there are two people who are happier than ever about Kaia’s new romance. “It’s such a relief for…

Radio host Fifi Box is inconsolable following the heartbreaking death of her close friend and her daughter’s half-sister. “We laughed, we cried, we shared so many wonderful memories that I will keep alive for Trixie who loved her big sister so much, her little heart is broken,” Fifi wrote on Instagram. Friends say Fifi, 43, will never forget Jaimi reaching out to her and Trixie Belle, seven – with Jaimi regularly dropping by their Melbourne home for weeks at a time and often acting as nanny to her little girl. Despite Grant and Fifi splitting before Trixie’s birth after a brief relationship in 2012, the radio star remained close to Grant’s children. “Jaimi adored Trixie and accepted and loved her dad’s offspring from the get-go,” a close friend tells Woman’s…

ANDY BANNED FROM DAD’S CELEBRATION! Meghan isn’t the only one who’s found herself pushed aside from royal birthday celebrations – disgraced Prince Andrew has been on the receiving end of the same ire. Organisers charged with planning Prince Philip’s 100th birthday events in June next year have been instructed to leave his second son off any public guest lists and remove him from any photographic tributes and displays. Andrew, who is in hot water over his friendship with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and facing accusations he had sex with a 17-year-old trafficked by Epstein, is said to be “devastated”. “He knows being ditched from his own father’s century doesn’t look good for his attempts to insist he’s innocent,” says a source. ROYAL FACE RIDDLE SOLVED! When Meghan made…

In a very un-Hollywood storyline, Aussie model Miranda Kerr and her ex-husband actor Orlando Bloom managed to quietly and respectfully split, share custody of their son and even buddy up with their respective new significant others. But the poster couple of Hollywood divorce is about to face its first major clash – and insiders say it might get ugly. PINING FOR HOME A source reveals that UK native Orlando – who recently welcomed baby Daisy Bloom with fiancee Katy Perry, 35 – is pining for his motherland and wants to take his little family home for a few years. “Orlando feels like the US isn’t a great place to raise a family right now,” says a source. “Between the wildfires in every direction around their Santa Barbara home, and political…

While the build is testing the limits of all the contestants, former Blockhead and resident foreman Dan Reilly’s gaunt appearance has viewers fearing for his health. “Is it me or does Dan seem very thin in the face,” an avid fan asked on Facebook. “I’m a bit worried about him,” she continued. The post evoked a passionate response from other viewers who claimed the usually hunky site manager was “working too hard” this year. “It’s because none of the Blockheads are building this year!” one fan responded. “He’s working overtime!” Dan’s worrying appearance comes amid claims that this year’s crop of Blockheads are the most inexperienced ever – just three out of 10 contestants have previously been on construction sites.…

When she watched the epic 1990 film Dances With Wolves, Sarah-Jane Dunford swooned with every other woman over Kevin Costner’s rugged good looks, but it was the majestic herd of 3500 bison thundering across the plain in the hit movie that made a lasting impression. That childhood obsession has become a real-life profession, with the workplace safety specialist, 41, and her landscaper husband Luke now the proud owners of a growing herd of American bison – or buffalo, as they are known in the US and Canada. RAISING FLUFFBALLS Sarah-Jane lovingly refers to the bison she and Luke, 40, are raising on their Hunter Valley property as her “fluffballs”, but she says it’s important to never forget how dangerous and unpredictable they can be. “The most surprising thing is how…

Your best bet to work through any Saturnian despair is…

Eating well can be overwhelming at times – what’s good for us, what’s not, how much do we need and how can we make it easier? Nutritional therapist and founder of GP Nutrition, Gabriela Peacock, makes a case for cutting out the chatter and focusing on food that makes us feel great. KEEP IT SIMPLE “If you’re eating well – and treating yourself, because life is too short not to indulge – your body is getting the nutrients and energy it needs and that makes us feel great,” Gabriela explains. “Eating a balanced diet means our bodies are getting a wide  variety of vitamins, minerals, essential nutrients and energy to keep us going. These contribute to our physical wellbeing, and to our mental wellbeing.” By eating nutritious foods that you…

So many body products claim to do things that they simply can’t, but one thing that is possible is smoothing out texture. Common skin issues combined with the cooler months can wreak havoc with the skin on our body. Not to mention the fact that most of us don’t take as much care with it compared to the skin on our faces. Let’s get into the groove of taking care of our bodies, starting with feeling smooth and sexy... Keratosis pilaris These purple, white or red bumps on the upper arms, thighs and bottom are caused by a build-up of keratin in hair follicles.
