Innholdsfortegnelse for 2041 i Woman's Day

You know you’re obsessed with a television show when you do one of those online quizzes to find out which character you are – and that’s exactly what I found myself doing a couple of weeks ago after finishing Netflix series Schitt’s Creek. It seems I’m not the only one who fell in love with this gorgeous comedy series over the past couple of months, with the show breaking Emmy records last week (at the first ever virtual Emmy Awards ceremony) with nine trophies. If you’re a little late to the party, we tell you why it’s a must-watch (p85). We’ve also rounded up this week’s other top telly (p82). And for those wanting to know… I’m Twyla!…

Since they arrived in California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex haven’t been shy about making a quick public appearance here and there – all in the name of some good publicity. But after the couple turned up seemingly unannounced at a Los Angeles school on August 21 to hand out supplies – with a freelance photographer in tow, despite the private nature of the visit – 39-year-old Meghan has remained at home, opting for video conferences over public outings. IN HIDING The duchess has limited her appearances to artfully posed photographs while dressed in loose linens or video appearances from the shoulders up, including a recent Zoom chat, in which some fans pointed out the usually thin ex-TV star looked markedly fuller in the face. This, combined with pictures…

When Seven announced it had bought the rights to The Voice, with Nine failing to renew its contract after nine years, the future of the four coaches were left hanging by a thread. Now Woman’s Day hears “there’s an all-out war” playing out between publicists and managers who are desperately trying to bag the coveted gig for their talent when it returns next year. And there’s one name who is fighting harder than anyone else – Ricki-Lee Coulter! Insiders insist the former Australian Idol star, 34, is making a play for the gig – and Seven is seriously interested. “She’s a shoo-in for the role,” reveals a network insider, who says Ricki-Lee is a favourite of the show’s new executive producer, Michael Pell, who currently helms Sunrise. “She would jump…

‘My dad still keeps in contact with my ex!’ In a big year of change it only seems fitting that The Bachelorette is turning everything on its head too, with not one but two single ladies hoping to find the man of their dreams. Speaking to Woman’s Day, the incoming hopefuls, sisters and best friends Elly, 25, and Becky Miles, 30, tell all ahead of the new season. Very few women can say they’ve been the Bachelorette! Have you made contact with any of the former stars to ask their advice? ELLY Angie [Kent] reached out to us, actually! She was lending some support. When you’re in this position, I don’t think anybody realises how tough it is, so it’s nice to have that. BECKY She wanted to let us…

‘I get to do it every day. I’ve living my dream’ She’s the vivacious blonde model who smiled her way into Australian lounge rooms for two decades, making her name on The Cartoon Connection and, of course, Lotto, but these days you’re more likely to find Alex Wileman on a boat cruising Sydney Harbour – and it’s all in a day’s work. The former TV presenter, 59, burst onto Aussie TV screens as a fresh-faced 21-year-old hosting a children’s program in Newcastle, before being snapped up to co-host ’80s dating show The Love Game with Mark Holden. HITTING THE HIGH SEAS She gained a huge fan base during her five-year stint fronting The Cartoon Connection, but Alex says despite her TV successes she always harboured a dream of starting Local…

Proud Mary Prince Frederik and Princess Mary are such a charming couple (WD, Sep 14). I always enjoy reading about them and their beautiful family. Mary has really done Australia proud in how she adapted to a new country, new language and new life. She has done it all with such grace and elegance. One day these royals will be a much loved King and Queen of Denmark, and they will continue to delight us all here in Australia. VM Mavros, Sale, Vic TOOTH BE TOLD This is my grandson Phoenix, six. He’s looking so surprised because his mum told him he has lost his tooth – and  he didn’t even know it! He had the same look when he lost the other front tooth days later. Sharron Miller,…

I’m not going to sugar coat it, this is a week when you need to live consciously, otherwise you could find yourself in an emotional entanglement. For a start, it’s a full moon week. There’s nothing inherently negative about them though, it’s quite the contrary – full moon weeks can be amazing because all our emotions come up. We get to truly feel our feelings and process them. Full moons are a gift if you’re upset about something but you know you need to move on. The best thing you can possibly do is forgive and let it go. Forgiving doesn’t mean what happened was OK. It just means you’re not willing to give it any more energy. I do monthly free full moon events designed specifically to help people…

Royal sleuths have deduced Princess Eugenie is pregnant with twins, after the 30-year-old dropped some exciting clues last week. Eugenie – daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York – was spotted sporting a telltale bump last week, with an insider telling Woman’s Day, “Either she’s quite far along all of a sudden, or there might be two babies on the way!” Coincidentally, Sydney’s Featherdale Wildlife Park announced it had named not one but two koalas in honour of Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 34. A thrilled Eugenie wrote on Instagram that she was “honoured” by the news. “Eugenie would love the subterfuge about being pregnant, and would enjoy leaving hints like that for fans if she was having twins,” says a source. “They have been planning…

They enjoyed a life fit for a royal after their strikingly similar looks to Harry and Meghan garnered them party invites, trips around the world and cheques that would make even the Queen clutch her pearls. However, since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex abandoned the UK for the US, these Britain-based doubles have found their once lucrative careers have gone down the drain. Harry Poulson, 24, who once flew to Germany to star as the prince, has had to return to his nine-to-five job, after his acting work “tailed off completely” following Harry’s move. Similarly, and after dying his hair and beard red, Freddie Marlow, a 26-year-old call centre agent, must now suffer the regrowth after work dried up since Harry and Meghan relocated to Hollywood. “I don’t have…

There must be something in The Block water as two teams from past seasons have announced exciting baby news in one week! First came 2017 winners Elyse Knowles and Josh Barker, who announced they were pregnant with their first child on September 17.

Crying tears of joy in this moment,” the pair wrote on Instagram.…

While Delta is itching for a spot on Seven’s revamped version of The Voice, her partner in crime Guy Sebastian is preparing to jump ship! According to a TV insider, Ten is gearing up to announce the relaunch of Australian Idol, which aired on the network from 2003 to 2009, and they’re after the 38-year-old singer. “Getting him back on the show that made him famous would be a dream,” says the source. “They’re eager to get him involved – they know the show’s success is dependent on a brilliant judging line-up. “If all goes to plan, the show will be back with Guy.”…

JOAQUIN PHOENIX The Joker star, 45 – along with his siblings, including the late actor River Phoenix – grew up in the Children of God cult, but was yanked out by his parents when the sect was accused of racketeering, kidnapping and child sex abuse. MICHELLE PFEIFFER When the 62-year-old first moved to Hollywood, she lived with a “controlling couple” who followed breatharianism – a movement that claims food and water aren’t needed to live. When Michelle met her first husband Peter Horton – who had been in a movie about cults – she realised she was in a sect and promptly left. GLENN CLOSE At the behest of her dad, Glenn was a member of conservative anti-war group Moral Re-Armament from the age of seven until 22. She even…

October 20 marks World Osteoporosis Day, and while many things in our lives have been put on hold this year, your health shouldn’t be one of them.

Health authorities recommend keeping in contact with your GP regarding your bone health, maintaining the frequency of your medical appointments, staying on top of your medication, and of course, staying safe overall.…

SURI’S NOT IMPRESSED! Like any 14-year-old, Suri Cruise is horrified and “completely in shock” at her mum Katie Holmes’ public kissing and canoodling with her new man and friends say she’s worried she’ll get her heart broken. There’s no doubt Katie, 41, is in love with her new Italian boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr, 33, and wants the whole world to know about it, but friends are worried about the effect it’s having on daughter Suri. “Suri’s totally red-faced about her mum carrying on like a teenager in public,” says a friend. “It’s never really happened before so this is a first for her and, like any kid her age, she’s not coping.” What’s worse, Suri’s joining a growing number of friends who are really worried about Katie’s taste in men…

Prince Harry showed off a dramatically different look on a charity video chat recently. Harry, whose locks have been cut to their shortest since his early days in the army, is battling the male-pattern baldness that his brother Prince William has also fallen victim to – prompting speculation he may have finally agreed to get hair plugs. “Harry kept his hair longer and somewhat unruly in a bid to mask the bald spot at the top of his head,” says a source. “But rumour has it Meghan was badgering him to get it done. In Hollywood it’s the norm, and she wanted him to look the part. I can’t see him getting such a short haircut without them – he’s pretty self-conscious about that bare patch. His British mates will…

With one simple nickname, it was clear Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston wanted the world to know they were back in love again. As several A-listers looked on during a Fast Times At Ridgemont High online table read last week, a blushing Brad Pitt addressed his former wife directly, cheekily saying, “Hey Aniston, how you doin’?” while wearing his trademark handsome grin. FLIRTY CHATTER Not to be outdone, Jen fondly replied, “Hey Pitt, good honey, how are you?” – much to the delight of their old friends Julia Roberts, Sean Penn, Matthew McConaughey and Morgan Freeman, who couldn’t hide their delight at witnessing the intimate exchange. An insider close to the special production tells Woman’s Day, “It was about as off the cuff and flirty as it could get. Brad…

MELISSA LEONG ‘Whoever said never work with kids was wrong!’ Working with 14 eager children might seem like a headache for some – after all they say never work with children or animals – but Melissa begs to differ! “Whoever ‘they’ are wasn’t doing it right!” she declares. “In a word, these kids were inspiring! To have 14 enthusiastic, good-hearted, clever and creative juniors to spend this season with was such a bright spot in a crazy year,” Melissa says of the new rebooted series. The cookbook editor tells Woman’s Day the show’s line-up of junior cooks left her yearning to be more fearless. “As we progress from little kids to becoming big kids, we take on the weight of the world and of expectation, and we respond accordingly.

For her entire adult life, Bella Cruise has looked upon her own mother Nicole Kidman with barely disguised disdain. Only a few years ago, she is thought to have described Nicole as a “f**king SP” – a Suppressive Person – a label given to people who either leave or speak out against the Church of Scientology, of which Bella is a devoted follower. Now, aged 27 and living in London, it appears Bella has reached out to her 53-year-old mum, who is filming Nine Perfect Strangers in Byron Bay, NSW. “All of a sudden, a few weeks ago, Bella started liking Nicole’s Instagram photos,” says a source. “Don’t get me wrong, Nicole is pleased, but it’s come a little out of the blue, given they’ve barely spoken since Bella was…

It’s barely been a week since The Bachelor’s explosive finale, but 31-year-old Locky has already landed himself in hot water!

Locky, who has become one of the most notorious Bachelor’s ever, had no problem liking a stack of snaps of blonde beauty Elly during filming in April and May.…

After the pandemic sparked border restrictions around the world, Margot Robbie left the home she shares in Los Angeles with her husband Tom Ackerley and moved to his native England. And while she’s back in Blighty, it seems Margot, 30, has struck up a close friendship with one of the UK’s most eligible young bachelors. British gossip site Popb*tch reported that the Harley Quinn star was spotted sharing a drink with Irish actor Paul Mescal, 24, at The Crooked Billet pub near his London home. “Margot’s the type of girl who has a lot of guy friends, and I can definitely see her and Paul getting on,” says an insider. “They’re both really nice, low-key people with excellent senses of humour – and they both love a pint.” The source…

He may have swapped his boardies for a Giorgio Armani suit but Bondi Rescue star Bruce “Hoppo” Hopkins still managed to make a splash at his wedding to Karen Griffin, arriving at the ceremony via speedboat. Karen certainly made an entrance too, walked down the aisle by her dad Peter and her chocolate labrador Kobi. Hoppo and Karen said “I do” in a waterside ceremony at Pasadena on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in front of their 26 guests, including Hoppo’s daughters Lauren, 22, and Georgia, 18. Kobi, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year, was guest of honour and ring bearer for the couple. “We decided on September 18 as our wedding day because it’s Kobi’s birthday... we wanted to honour him no matter if he was here with…

Luke Baylis, director of THR1VE, shares his tips for enjoying more plant-based ingredients FIND MEAT REPLACEMENTS “Many vegetables can be used as substitutes, such as eggplant, mushrooms, and cauliflower,” he says. All three can be roasted in pieces or served as “steaks”. Jackfruit is a great replacement for pulled pork, too. ADD FLAVOUR “I like to use Middle Eastern or Asian spices, mainly to add savoury flavour. They help celebrate the use of the ingredient without necessarily trying to disguise it.” MAKE A DAY OUT OF IT Commit to making one meal a day meat-free. “Try to not eat meat for breakfast or another meal during the day,” he suggests. “Or have a couple of days per week where you skip meat all together.”…

Being “sensitive” these days just seems to be an issue of expectation: that we treat each other with care, that we acknowledge times have changed and it’s OK to admit what was deemed acceptable once isn’t now and that how we treat each other has a profound effect on how we feel. So often the so-called feminine traits are seen as a weakness. Next time someone calls you sensitive to put you down – or to build themselves up – what do they really mean? Check this list to feel better about yourself. 1 YOU HAVE ALL THE FEELINGS This makes you extremely empathetic and someone people want on their team, whether it’s #squadgoals or at work. 2 YOU’RE A GREAT LEADER The nature of workplaces is changing to embrace…
