The Woman’s Day office isn’t like others... and some days, depending on what’s going on in celeb land, the excitement levels hit an all-time high. I didn’t realise how much I was missing that buzz until last week when the Golden Globes marked the return of Hollywood award shows and the WD team was discussing who was best dressed and quibbling over who did and didn’t deserve an award. Many stars appeared via Zoom from their homes, and there were no afterparties…... but seeing some of our favourites dusting off their heels was more fun than expected. I hope you enjoy our round-up of the best Globes moments!…

The farmer wants a Hollywood wife! Grey’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh has been spotted getting cosy with a mystery man in recent times, and he’s now been revealed as West Australian farmer Andrew Nixon. The actress, 53, has been splitting her time between Perth and the Aussie’s farm at Moora, 170km north of the city, since last March, but the pair have been keeping a low profile – until now! It’s believed the couple, posing together at an arts event in Perth last weekend, met on a cruise just before the pandemic began. And while Kate appears smitten with her rural Romeo – who’s from a prominent farming family – she’s fallen for his home town, too. “I really love Perth. I love the city, I love the people,” she…

She’s long kept mum on her divorce to ex Lee Henderson, but last week Jackie O divulged intimate details around their settlement. The 46-year-old star, who co-parents 10-year-old daughter Kitty with the British-born photographer, appeared to take a dig at Lee while comparing their divorce to her split from first husband “Ugly Phil” O’Neil in the ’90s. “The first divorce, I could have gotten something, absolutely,” she said during a segment on her KISS FM show with Kyle Sandilands. “He had the money – the first husband – so I was entitled to X amount, which I said, ‘No, I don’t want it.’ “[But] the next time around [divorcing Lee], I had to share my wealth. And he said, ‘Yes, I’ll take it!’” she added. Jackie announced she was splitting…

It was supposed to be Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s golden moment – stepping back into the Hollywood spotlight to air her grievances on US primetime television with Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey by her side. Instead, the heavily pregnant 39-year-old was last week, sources say, left shocked after respected London newspaper The Times reported bombshell accusations she behaved like a “manipulative bully” who made staff tremble and cry during the short amount of time she lived at Kensington Palace. Meghan and Harry, 36, released a strong denial last week through their lawyer, who claimed that the newspaper “is being used by Buckingham Palace to peddle a wholly false narrative”. A spokesperson said, “The duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the…

George Clooney is beside himself with excitement over getting a new romcom with his old mate Julia Roberts green-lit – and best of all for the extremely close friends, they’re expected to travel to exotic Bali for filming. Not so happy about Hollywood’s breaking casting news for the project, titled Ticket To Paradise, however, is George’s long-suffering wife Amal Clooney, who has found herself uninvited to the shoot, according to sources. ‘It’s a warning for Julia to keep her hands off Amal’s man’ “George doesn’t want Amal to come along because he doesn’t want his wife and kids travelling in a global pandemic, which is barely under control in Indonesia,” says a source. “But Amal suspects there might be more than just fatherly concern to this decision of his.” The…

It’s a New Moon week so it’s time to set some intentions and send wishes out into the Universe. The process is simple: set aside some time on Saturday after 8.21pm AEST and have a think about what you want to draw into your life. What are your goals for the coming four weeks, the coming 12 months and more? Then break your biggest goal down into baby steps. What could you do in the short term to start to move towards your dreams? For an example, say you want to get in shape. The first step would be to commit to moving your body once a day, every day, with a stroll, yoga or whatever appeals to you. Now create a little ceremony around this process. Dim the lights,…

DEFINING DUO According to Aussie brow stylist Melanie Marris (melaniemarriseyebrowstylist.com), regular professional brow appointments are one of the most important beauty treatments to add into your monthly maintenance regimen. “Defining your brows helps to bring symmetry to the face and accentuate your facial features,” she says. Once your brows are groomed to perfection, it’s time for the finishing touch. A good brow product should define your shape, fill in any areas that need extra help, and give a natural yet full finish. “For those who are new to filling their brows, a pencil is great as the buildable formula means you can’t go too OTT,” says Melanie. Make small strokes that mimic the way your hairs fall until you reach your desired finish. For a more defined and glam look,…

And baby makes eight! Hilaria and Alec Baldwin stunned fans last week by announcing they’re now parents of six – just six months after the yoga instructor gave birth to the couple’s fifth child Eduardo.

Over the past two years, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s stinging attacks on the royal family have left those closest to Prince Harry, 36, reeling – especially his older brother Prince William. But even with the former royals airing all their dirty laundry in their interview with Oprah Winfrey, William, 38, is said to be “keen to put the feud behind them”. “William is deeply hurt by the way things have panned out, and he’s distressed by Harry painting the royal family as some kind of evil mafia that wouldn’t accept his wife,” says a source. “But their brotherly bond was so strong as boys, and he wants to rebuild it as a matter of priority. He would forgive Harry, no questions asked – even if Harry never returns…

Even a movie star like George isn’t spared the often mundane life of a parent! In a new chat with W magazine, the actor opens up about raising his three-year-old twins during the pandemic. When George was asked if he’s started any new pastimes while in lockdown, he joked, “I’ll tell you what I’ve taken on as a hobby – two or three loads of laundry a day, and dishes all f ** king day, because these kids are slobs!” George also revealed that, like many of us, he’s become a home hairdresser and has taken to cutting his son Alexander’s hair. He’s not allowed near Ella’s, though. Stick to your guns with that one, Amal!…

Upon entering Sophie Delezio’s new apartment, it’s obvious you’re entering a share house occupied by Generation Zers. Guitars lean up against the walls, a record player sits on a bookshelf, gaming controllers litter the coffee table and a cleaning roster highlights those pesky chores that need to be done. And as Sophie, 19, nestles onto the couch with her three flatmates and best friends – 20-year-olds Alistair, Blossom and Chase – in her North Sydney pad after a year studying abroad, it’s clear she’s determined to make her new life as normal as possible. “We usually just hang out on the couch, chatting, playing music, playing Mario Kart or cooking,” she says. “We’re like a little family, we’ve really lucked out. I’m so happy here.” While Sophie’s life appears like…

Grandad Joe lived to 103 and was a renowned Queensland grazier and Bronwyn, 37, is following in his footsteps, challenging some of the traditions that have seen women in agriculture overlooked. “Mum, Grandad Joe’s daughter, was one of nine. There were three daughters and six sons and the way of the era was that the sons were established on family properties and the daughters got married,” she says. Like her sisters, Bronwyn wasn’t encouraged to go into farming but when her parents bought their own property that changed. “My sisters weren’t interested and it was my chance to get my hands dirty. I mustered, put in water…

Was her recent stint in jail a death sentence for Felicity Huffman’s marriage? That’s the rumour doing the rounds, after the actress stepped out to run errands in Los Angeles on February 28 solo and looking sombre. The 58-year-old former Desperate Housewives star, who was released from prison in October after serving 11 days of her 14-day sentence for her involvement in the infamous college admissions scandal, has been married to actor William H Macy since 1997. And while Shameless star William once  described their relationship as “a fairytale marriage”, sources say the drama took a serious toll on the couple, who share two daughters, Sophia, 20, and Georgia, 18. Tellingly, Felicity was without her wedding ring as she picked up groceries in Studio City and the couple haven’t been…

Looks like The Voice Australia bosses are pulling out all the stops to impress their new judge, Rita Ora. They’re reportedly shelling out $30,000 a week for the mega mansion in Sydney’s ritzy Mosman, where the British singer will stay while she’s filming the upcoming season of the reality show. Spread over three storeys, the waterfront home has panoramic harbour views, floor-to-ceiling windows to bring the outdoor in, a foreshore lawn and inviting infinity pool that’s fit for a popstar! It’s no wonder the 30-year-old says she’s “really grateful” to be joining the judging panel. “I can’t wait to be able to mentor the amazing talent out here,” she says of the Aussie contenders. “Let’s go!”…

With Harry and Meghan running around LA doing tell-alls, it appears his father Prince Charles, 72, has had enough of trying to play the nice guy. Sources say the couple are sorting out their own UK mailing address after Charles’ office at Clarence House unceremoniously cut their agreement to receive local incoming correspondence for Harry and Meghan. “This is a big deal,” says an insider. “You have to really annoy your parents for them to stop keeping mail for you while you’re overseas!”…

The world is certainly your oyster when you sign up to marry someone who you’ve never met before on national television, especially if that program is Married At First Sight, the number one reality show in the country. Except if you’re a current cast member, that is. Insiders say the season eight stars have been dudded, with producers denying the wannabe influencers the chance to earn tens of thousands of dollars in sponsorships and endorsements this year by refusing to let them use their social media accounts. “I feel sorry for them and if I were them, I’d be pretty pissed off,” says Aleks Markovic, 28, who married Ivan Sarakula on last year’s show. “The contestants in my season milked their Instagram accounts, organising all sorts of deals with magazines,…

Spencer Tracy & Katharine Hepburn ★ Spencer and Katharine were a legendary couple – on and off the silver screen. They starred in nine movies together, starting with 1942’s Woman Of The Year, which started their relationship. Despite the fact they were together for more than 25 years, Hollywood icon Spencer – a staunch Catholic – refused to divorce his wife Louise Treadwell, or publicly acknowledge his love for Katharine. Katharine, known for playing uncompromising, spirited women on screen, was said to be totally captivated by Spencer, hence agreeing to keep their relationship out of the public eye. “I loved Spencer Tracy,” Katharine wrote in her 1991 autobiography Me: Stories Of My Life. “I would have done anything for him.” The actor became ill with heart disease in 1963. Katharine…

It took more than two decades for the families and friends of the Claremont serial killer’s victims to learn what happened to their loved ones. Last December, they finally had some closure when Bradley Edwards was handed a 40-year sentence that will likely see him die in prison. Perth newspaper editor Bret Christian’s book Stalking Claremont: Inside The Hunt For A Serial Killer covers what became Australia’s longest and most expensive murder investigation and eventual court case. He recalls the charged atmosphere in court when the victims’ families heard the judge’s ruling. “You could cut it with a knife,” Bret tells Woman’s Day. “Most people were expecting guilty verdicts but it was still a massive moment.” After evading detection for years, the 52-year-old former Telstra technician was found guilty of…
