Innholdsfortegnelse for 2048 i Woman's Day

As the rest of the team here at Woman’s Day will attest to, when you’re in our line of work, you’re guaranteed to get plenty of questions at dinner parties. Everyone wants to know which stars you’ve met, who’s going to win their favourite reality show (we NEVER tell!) and the big one... which star is the biggest diva of them all! This week, for all those desperate for some juicy celebrity gossip, we’ve rounded up some of the weird and wacky demands Hollywood’s biggest names have of their staff (p36). One popstar insisted her PA go on the same diet as her, while another had staff scrambling to get her under control as she drunk-dialled her exes. Celebs... they’re certainly not just like us!…

Whether it’s in Hollywood or at home, the 2020 baby boom is showing no signs of slowing down, and even British actor Jude Law says becoming a father of six this year caught him by surprise! “I never imagined that I’d have so many children, but I love them all dearly and they definitely keep me young,” he recently said, following news that he and his wife Phillipa Coan, 33, who married in 2019, had welcomed a baby girl in September. The couple’s daughter, whose name is currently being held under wraps, will join a five-strong brood of step-siblings. The Captain Marvel star shares his three eldest children with first wife Sadie Frost, who he married in 1997. During their marriage, which ended in 2003, the couple had Rafferty, 24,…

Cradling her newborn baby in her arms, first-time mum Holly Coppins had no idea of the nightmare that lay ahead. With her husband Oliver by her side, the couple were devastated when just hours after the birth, their daughter Ava was diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia. “We were beside ourselves... straight away your fairytale is over,” says Holly, choking back tears. “If you have a normal pregnancy, a normal birth, you’d think you’d have a healthy baby.” It was a world away from the “dream pregnancy” Holly had experienced. The couple were thrilled to discover they were expecting just weeks before tying the knot, sharing the happy news with family and friends on the big day. “We planned to have kids but she was a little surprise,” says…

The high life for Reggie! AMANDA SAYS Reggie comes through and tells me he lives a fabulous life. Reggie loves his human sister who plays with him, puts him on the couch and feeds him treats. Reggie loves it when his dad hoses him when it’s hot, and the fact he has two large cages – one is for playtime, which is often moved for the fresh grass, and the other is his home. Reggie also loves that he not only gets great rabbit food, he has lots of cut-up fresh fruit and vegies. Reggie thanks his dad for putting two layers of mesh and netting to keep him safe as he tells me the magpies sometimes eye him off. Reggie tells me he is about 18 months old now…

TOO MUCH LOVE? This week brings two opposed alignments involving the planet Venus. Venus is associated with love and abundance. The first, which takes place on Monday, is between Venus and the planet of all things fantastic, Jupiter. It’s actually a clash between Venus and Jupiter but that almost doesn’t matter. It might mean there’s too much love, like someone is suffocating you with their adoration. It could also relate to overspending. OR NOT ENOUGH? On Thursday we get Venus clashing with Saturn, the planet of karma, lessons and facing facts. This is more serious. It can also translate to feeling lonely, as if your advances are being rejected, or like there isn’t enough money to go around. If you can get through this week without too much upset, you’ll…

Keep moving “Low-impact cardio such as going for a brisk walk or a hike can be a simple way to ease back into exercise while still enjoying the great outdoors and catching up with friends. Just remember to keep social distancing!” Snack well “It’s all about habit – grabbing a banana, mandarin or vegetable sticks and homemade hummus instead of a handful of sugar-laden biscuits becomes easy if there’s a bowl of fresh fruit and chopped vegetables in reach.” Stay motivated “To avoid feeling overwhelmed, lay out your goals in a plan and set realistic milestones so you can achieve them. Every change and every new goal takes time. Some people expect instant results but the reality is change takes time, so knowing this can help with patience and goal…

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are both so obsessed with privacy they’re taking on three of the UK’s most powerful newspapers. So it was with abject horror that Harry – from his mansion in California – discovered new claims his late mum Princess Diana may have been coerced into giving what is still regarded as the most blockbuster tell-all in history to the BBC’s Martin Bashir, in 1995, because of falsified bank statements. It was the moment the royal family plunged into chaos, as the princess wryly peered through her eyelashes at Martin and proclaimed, “There were three of us in the marriage so, you see, it was a bit crowded.” According to Diana’s brother Earl Charles Spencer, his sister – racked with pain over the breakdown of her…

For the Queen, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. She hosts family members from near and far at Sandringham for a no-expenses spared three-day bash beginning with a gift exchange on Christmas eve, followed by sumptuous meals, outfit changes and church. But this year, with the UK in the grips of its second coronavirus lockdown, it’s looking like a much smaller affair for two. Sources say the Queen, 94, is likely to only be joined by her husband Prince Philip, 99, to decrease the risk of contracting the killer virus that princes Charles and William have already suffered through. “The Queen is devastated, but knows it’s the right thing to do,” says a source. “She loves Christmas and to have it taken away at her age –…

Karl Stefanovic is used to getting what he wants, so it came as a shock to the breakfast host when Nine’s big bosses said a flat no to sending him to the US to cover the biggest news event of the year. Upset at not being front and centre at the US presidential election, Karl is said to have been feeling understandably jealous that his little brother and rising star Peter got to go to Washington DC to head up the coverage for Sky News Australia. “A part of Karl has always envied Pete’s career as a foreign correspondent and the freedom he has to head off on assignments, so it must’ve been frustrating for him to watch from afar,” a close family friend reveals to Woman’s Day. “It’s no…

Merrick: ‘I don’t focus on regret’ In the show’s final weeks, the stars come face to face with their biggest obstacle yet: themselves! In an emotionally confronting challenge, the recruits are tasked by the DS to share a secret from their past – and the confessions are shocking. ‘It haunted me for years, but I never spoke about it’ Comedian Merrick Watts opens up about a tragic moment he will never forget, when he accidentally deleted a voice message sent by his dying father, missing out on hearing his final words. “It haunted me for years, but I never spoke about it until I used it for the basis of some stand-up. That was cathartic, but I also had the jokes to diffuse the pain and regret of the truth,”…

RENEE’S JUNK FOOD BINGES Renee Zellweger, 51, is famous for being a health fanatic, but an insider insists she lets herself go on occasion. “She’ll give her assistant a heads-up that it’s time for what she calls, ‘Mama’s little breakdown’,” the source reveals. “She’ll put on a classic movie, and stuff her face with candy, chocolate and cupcakes while she cries the night away. She has no shame in her game!” JEN’S SWEATY DIVA DEMANDS Jennifer Aniston really loves her fans — the electric kind, that is. According to someone on her team, the Friends alum, 51, hates sweating so much she has people at her beck and call to make sure she never perspires. “On set, she’ll make an assistant hold a fan in front of her between scenes,”…

Dylan wants you to know he saw the balloons you released for his birthday. He and Kate…

Women are more likely than men to experience iron deficiency, particularly during menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Women’s health expert Dr Penny Adams explains what you need to know about the condition. WHAT IS IT? “Iron deficiency occurs when the body doesn’t have enough of this essential mineral,” says Dr Adams. “Seventy per cent of the body’s iron is in haemoglobin, in red blood cells. This carries oxygen to all cells in the body.” There are three progressive stages, starting with iron depletion, where your body only has a small amount of iron stored. Then, iron deficiency is when your levels are low and haemoglobin levels have dropped below a normal level. And iron deficiency anaemia is the most serious stage, where your blood is unable to deliver enough oxygen to…

Fish friendly Around 14,000 tonnes of chemical-filled sunscreen washes off our skin and into the sea each year, making our sun-safe habits a major component of coral reef damage. We’re not saying we should avoid sunscreen but maybe update it next time you’re empty to one that’s “reef safe”. TRAVEL LIGHT First stop, ditch your travel minis which are the epitome of single-use silliness! Instead, use refillable containers and decanters so you can carry your favourite products in perfect portions. If you’re having trouble squeezing in all your liquids, opt for versions like shampoo bars and solid perfumes. STOP SINGLE USE Once upon a time we thought cosmetic wipes deserved a Nobel prize for duties to busy women. Now, we know these non-biodegradable sheets end their days in landfills or…

Katie, 41, and Emilio, 33, who were spotted out buying paint together last week, aren’t wasting any time after friends recently revealed to us that they’re preparing for her dream second child. “Katie’s so happy right now nothing will burst her bubble,” says a friend. “She and Emilio are talking baby names, nursery design, colours, fabrics, strollers – it’s pretty obvious what’s going on. Yet she’ll clam up if she’s asked outright if she’s pregnant or not. There’s no doubt they’re acting like it’s happening, but now everyone’s wondering if she’s using a surrogate.” Katie recently revealed in…

Colourful, eclectic, flamboyant and bold are just a few of the words used to describe Australian entertainment icon Jeanne “Jeannie” Little since her shock passing on November 7. The star’s death at 82 was announced by her daughter Katie Little Poulton on social media. Her emotional post was accompanied by a loving snap of her as a child with her doting mum. “My mother has left the earthly plane," she announced to friends and family. “This is a huge shock – but I'm so grateful.” Jeanne, who exploded onto our screens on Ten’s variety program The Mike Walsh Show in 1974 and won the TV WEEK Gold Logie in 1976, was diagnosed with rapid-onset Alzheimer's disease in 2009. HEARTBREAKING CALL “I think I’m still in shock,” Katie confessed last week.…

They’re two of Australia’s biggest names in music, but now it seems Delta Goodrem and Guy Sebastian are about to become a certified TV power couple! Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day, a Seven insider reveals both Guy, 39, and Delta, 36, are being eyed off for a spot on the network’s most exciting new production – the relaunch of Australian Idol!

In the dry red dirt of outback WA, country musician Adam Brand is fossicking for precious metals under a wide blue sky as his cute daughter Pepper plays beside the family caravan. For once, Adam isn’t chasing gold records – although the multi-award-winning star has won a few of those – but searching for ridgy-didge nuggets of the real thing! “The last 20-odd years, I’ve been lucky enough to make a living out of singing, guitars, lights and stages,” laughs the Last Man Standing favourite. “The past three to four months, it’s been workboots and hi-vis shirts, meeting people with a totally different way of life. The journey has been quite amazing, and it’s still going!” Unable to perform during the COVID-19 crisis, like so many other artists, Adam has…

Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22 We love that you say things others only think. Sometimes, though, your thoughts get so dark, it’s hard for any light to get in. That’s fine, though – you were sort of born to brood. However, you need to monitor this. Consciously aim to match every negative thought with a positive statement and you’ll have a much better week. Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 22 After quite a few years of financial troubles, you could be forgiven for thinking that your money dramas are relentless and unsolvable. The good news is, that’s not true. Think about all the times in the past where you’ve managed to get through hardships. Capricorn DEC 23 – JAN 20 This is a week when you need to really…

Little indulgences here and there are to be expected, but if you find yourself craving sugary foods intensely, it may be time to look at why this is the case. Dr Michelle Celander, director of program and science at WW, explains. WHY IT HAPPENS “Neuroscience research shows that [eating] sugar lights up the same pleasure-stimulating sites in our brains as addictive drugs, releasing a chemical called dopamine, which gives us euphoric, happy feelings,” says Dr Celander. She adds that over time we also make associations between certain foods and environmental cues, triggering our cravings. “Many of us want biscuits with a cup of tea or associate eating ice-cream with watching Netflix. Going to the movies might have us craving popcorn because we feel it goes hand in hand with the…

Natural deodorant vs regular deodorant – what’s the difference? “Natural deodorant is gentle on the skin and respects the skin physiology,” says Annabelle. “In comparison, a regular antiperspirant interferes with the natural skin processes by blocking sweat ducts.” So rather than stopping you from physically sweating, a natural deodorant works on the odour of sweat. How does natural deodorant work? The sweat your body releases to cool down on a hot day or after a workout doesn’t actually smell. “It’s the byproducts of sweat that cause malodour, so a good deodorant will reduce the degradation of sweat by bacteria, then cover any possible malodour.” A’kin’s Geranium & Cedarwood Natural Roll-On Deodorant $10.95 provides an odour-neutralising solution with natural active ingredients in the formula, which slow down the ability of bacteria…

The Thelma & Louise star has decided to put her beloved apartment on the market for $11 million as she searches for something a bit smaller.
