I have one of those dogs that needs walking – a LOT of walking – and if she doesn’t get enough exercise, boy do we know about it! But our daily walks are nothing compared to the trek that one incredible Aussie woman is doing in the name of charity. This week, we speak to Janet Thomas, who is walking 4000km from Melbourne to Perth with her trusty rescue dog Jack to raise money for Animal Aid Abroad (p44). Her determination is nothing short of amazing. Speaking of incredible Aussie women, we also farewell Helen Reddy, an unbelievable songstress, a voice for women everywhere and an Australian icon we will remember forever.…

It was pitted as the comeback to end all comebacks. But sadly for MasterChef’s Matt Preston and Gary Mehigan, and My Kitchen Rules’ Manu Feildel, their hotly anticipated return on Seven’s new cooking show Plate Of Origin turned stone cold sooner than expected. Now, sources say Seven – who banked millions on the return of the much-loved culinary superstars – have been forced to pay their way out of a three-year deal. “All three of them had signed on for three seasons of Plate Of Origin,” an industry source tells Woman’s Day. “Seven really thought their comeback would have delivered a loyal audience so their figure was no small number, let me tell you. But due to the lacklustre ratings and with no other cooking shows in the pipeline, Seven…

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have been dating since 2017, and even have the approval of the Coldplay frontman’s ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. But Woman’s Day hears there’s one woman making things a little difficult for Chris, 43, and Dakota, 31, right now – her mother Melanie Griffith! “She’s absolutely besotted with Chris,” says a source. “The problem is Dakota gets so embarrassed when her mum goes all gushy and starry-eyed over Chris. She treats him like he’s some kind of god and it drives Dakota crazy!” the source dishes, noting she’s been going overboard on social media.…

As she made her way around Sydney last week, a smiling Delta Goodrem looked more radiant than ever. And it seems there’s a reason for the songstress’ glowing visage – rumours are she’s expecting! Onlookers tell Woman’s Day that the hitmaker, 35, who was accompanied by her long-term boyfriend Matthew Copley, looked to be concealing a baby bump. “She looked very bumpy,” a passerby says, who reveals the star “appeared very happy and in good spirits” as she waved to fans. It certainly would be no surprise if the Voice coach was expecting, with what feels like an A-list baby boom currently sweeping the country. ‘I always knew it would be a little later in life for me’ Over the years the Born To Try singer has regularly talked about…

After her shock split from husband Darren last year, The Block: Triple Threat winner Deanne Penberthy Jolly has reinvented herself as a real estate agent! The Melbourne mother-of-two, 49, announced last week she’ll be working with Sotheby’s on the Mornington Peninsula next year. “I’ll be doing interiors and selling and listing,” she said. “Real estate has been on my hit list for a long time. I love houses, I love property and I have a good relationship with Sotheby’s.”…

When Tenika Nicotra started hearing strange noises in her head while she was at work, the Perth nail technician thought she was going crazy. What started off as a blocked ear had turned into a strange sound. At first the 24-year-old could hear her own heart beating very loudly. Then she started to hear a noise that she likens to “a marble rolling across the floor”. Tenika noticed it would get louder every time she turned her head and moved her eyes. “That’s when it clicked – I was hearing my eyeballs moving... I was so freaked out,” she says. ‘No one could tell me what was wrong… I was so depressed’ After googling her symptoms, she suspected she had a rare disease, superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS), which occurs…

KOMBUCHA Kombucha is a sweet fermented tea that dates back more than 2000 years. It’s believed to have been first brewed in China during the Qin Dynasty, around 220BC, for the emperor Qinshi Huangdi. The “cha” in kombucha is said to come from the Chinese word for tea (yum cha, anyone?). In ancient China, this health-giving drink was known as “the tea of immortality” because it’s packed with live cultures, antioxidants and organic acids that deliver plenty of gut-loving benefits. TEPACHE Tepache is a tasty Mexican ferment that was popular among the Nahua people of central Mexico.

In the ultimate battle of the divas, it seems that singing superstar Mariah Carey has bumped Delta Goodrem out of her chair on The Voice next year! The We Belong Together singer, 50, is said to be in the final stages of negotiations with Seven to replace the Australian songbird, 35, after the network snapped up the show from Nine in August. According to a source, Mariah, who famously did a stint on American Idol in 2013, will be the big drawcard for the season, after Seven believed Nine was spending a lot of money on “B-listers” Kelly Rowland, Guy Sebastian and Boy George.…

Despite having to downgrade her dream wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic and managing the stress of the financial impact it’s had on her family’s business at Australia Zoo, Bindi Irwin was finally given something to smile about when she and her husband Chandler Powell revealed they were expecting their first child – a daughter – together. The young couple, who first met following a chance encounter in 2013, were overjoyed to share the news with friends and family in July, with the TV star revealing she was thrilled to be starting a “new life chapter”. However, Woman’s Day hears that the 22-year-old’s first trimester – often a difficult time for expectant mums – has been made all the more challenging thanks to her mother Terri, who appears to be…

There aren’t too many 14-year-olds who would be thrilled with their mum getting up close and personal with her new toyboy all over town – and Katie Holmes’ daughter Suri is reportedly no exception. And sources say the teen’s been so pushed to the limits by almost daily photos of Katie and New York restaurateur Emilio Vitolo Jr, 33, that she’s threatening to pack her bags. “You used to see Suri and Katie out and about together almost daily, but lately she’s been missing,” says a source from the pair’s Manhattan neighbourhood. “Suri probably can’t stomach the sight of them kissing on every street corner!” Sources close to Katie, 41 – who has sole custody of Suri after splitting from Tom Cruise in 2012 – say they hope she’s not…

All dogs love their daily walks but staffy-cross Jack is taking his regular walkies to a new level! The rescue dog is accompanying his owner on a trek from Melbourne to Perth, to raise money for the charity Animal Aid Abroad. Jack’s owner Janet Thomas, 58, founded Animal Aid Abroad 13 years ago after spending six months working as a teacher in Egypt where she witnessed the terrible conditions of working animals. When Janet returned to Australia in 2007, the teacher founded her animal  advocacy charity, and 12 years later adopted two-year-old Jack who, with his love of long walks, inspired her to walk across the country. “I wanted to do some kind of long-term adventure, and walking across Australia was always in the back of my mind,” she says.…

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23 As much as you might like to cruise into 2021, the rest of 2020 is all about you showing you’ve learned your lessons about being kind. The people who are provoking you have some kind of soul agreement with you. They want to show you the benefits of keeping your temper, even when you feel like gnashing your teeth. Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22 In a social media-obsessed, superficial world, one of the reasons you’re so loved is that you’re deep and meaningful. However, be careful you don’t drive yourself around the bend with those deep thoughts – they could turn dark this week. Manage yourself. Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 22 How good do you feel about yourself? I mentioned last week…

Rumours have plagued their relationship for years, but Deborralee Furness has finally addressed whispers that her husband Hugh Jackman is hiding a secret – that he’s gay. Talking on Anh Do’s Brush With Fame, Deb, 64, bravely denied the rumours, calling them “mean-spirited”. “It’s just wrong. It’s like someone saying to Elton John, ‘Oh he’s straight.’ I’m sure he’d be p*ssed!” she said. “And so what! What are we discussing here? Is he a vegetarian? Is he gay?” she added of her husband Hugh, 51. Rumours surrounding Hugh’s sexuality have followed him around for most of his career, but saw a spike when he appeared in Broadway’s The Boy From Oz in 2003 when his character Peter Allen famously locked lips with a co-star on stage.

Kit Harington and his wife Rose Leslie are expecting their first child together! The pair met when they played love interests in Game Of Thrones and tied the knot in June 2018. It’s a poignant moment for Kit, 33, who last year reportedly put himself through rehab to tackle his drinking problem. “This time last year Kit was fresh out of rehab and determined to turn his life around,” a long-time friend tells Woman’s Day. “This baby makes him feel like Rocky Balboa on top of the steps. He’s overcome so much and the sense of responsibility is something he’s more than ready to embrace,” continues the insider, who says he’s determined to stick to his sobriety for Rose, 33, and the baby. “He’s keeping up with his therapy. He’s…

It’s been more than a decade since Steve Irwin’s father Bob Snr, 81, is said to have last spoken to Terri, Bindi and 16-year-old Robert, following a bitter feud over the handling of Australia Zoo. But a close family friend tells Woman’s Day, if there’s one person who can mend the rift, it’s Steve’s niece Rebecca Lobie. The 32-year-old is the daughter of Steve’s sister Joy and her husband Frank Muscillo, who were “walked out” of the zoo. Rebecca is said to be itching to make contact with her pregnant cousin. “Bec is resigned to not having Aunt Terri in their lives, but is desperate to at least mend ways with Bindi and Robert before their grandfather is no longer around,” tells the source. “Bec is all about family first,…

The Duchess of Cambridge once admitted that her son Prince George is starstruck by natural historian Sir David Attenborough – and the first meeting between boy and hero was nothing short of adorable. George, six, appeared dazzled by his new friend, especially when the 94-year-old handed him a precious shark tooth from Malta as a gift. But George wasn’t the only one in awe of Sir David – his dad Prince William, 38, is thrilled to be involved in the legendary naturalist’s latest film, A Life On Our Planet. The Cambridges hosted Sir David for a viewing of the film at Kensington Palace last week, ahead of its wider release. “Princes William and Harry have gotten to know Sir David a lot over the years, and it was a dream…

The royal family couldn’t have been more proud when Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank announced they were expecting their first child in February with a sweet picture of a pair of baby booties. But in a shock move, palace insiders say the 30-year-old has surprised the Queen by hinting she’ll follow in the footsteps of royal breakaways Harry and Meghan and forgo a royal title for their child. A source told Vanity Fair, “Even if the Queen offered them a title as a gift, it’s not Eugenie or Jack’s desire for their child to have a title. Eugenie knows that a title can be a curse as well as a blessing, and she and Jack want their child to live an ordinary life and eventually work to earn…

It lit up our screens for more than a decade, and although showbusiness has gone through some huge changes, Young Talent Time – which launched the careers of superstars like Tina Arena and Dannii Minogue – remains one of the most revered variety shows in Australian TV history. The show’s creator and host Johnny Young, now 73, believes there’s an appetite for a reunion show. “There are 25,000 people watching our old shows online. People are really interested in it, and it’s a big part of a lot of people’s memories,” he tells Woman’s Day. “It’s a big part of Ten’s history, too.” He believes part of the reason why the show is still so loved is that it hasn’t been tarnished by any controversial allegations. “We didn’t have any…

This could be one of the most challenging weeks we’ve had in a while, thanks to some gnarly astrology on Wednesday. But it’s not all bad! Let’s break it down... SURPRISING CONVERSATIONS Tuesday brings an alignment which, to be completely frank, could go either way. It’s between planet of the mind and communications, Mercury, and the rude, electric change-maker, Uranus. There could be some people speaking very much out of turn. If you’re one of them, stop yourself before it goes too far. If you’ve been scratching your head over what to say to someone or how to carry out a project, look a little deeper midweek and the ideas could come. ANGER MANAGEMENT At the end of the week, we get a planetary clash between Mars, the planet of…
