I’m sure I’ve told you all before that I am a terrible baker – and no, that’s not me being gracious, I’m really very bad. But as the Sydney lockdown continues and with spring not upon us for a few more weeks, I’ve decided it’s time to give my culinary skills another go and whip up some delicious (hopefully) and comforting sweet treats. If you’re keen to do the same and want to get the whole family involved, turn to page 76 for some kid and grandkid-friendly baking options. Speaking of the kitchen, this week we also chat to hotel heiress Paris Hilton (p84), whose upcoming cooking show is about to hit our screens. Turns out she’s quite the culinary whiz!…

Almost three years in, Karl and Jasmine Stefanovic’s marriage is starting to show cracks, according to a source close to the pair, who reveals that the current extended NSW lockdown is putting the usually social couple’s relationship to the ultimate test. Our insider tells Woman’s Day, “Their relationship has been one party after the next, but now things have slowed down, and COVID-19 has put a hold on a lot of events, Jasmine is telling her closest friends she’s feeling stuck at home while her husband heads off to work at the crack of dawn five days a week. ‘The couple are doing less together these days’ ““She loves being at home with [their one-year-old daughter] Harper, but to switch on the TV to see Karl having a good old…

It wasn’t a royal wedding, but Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer’s nuptials were no less grand. The 30-year-old daughter of Earl Spencer wore five custom-made Dolce & Gabbana gowns – and another stunning dress for photocalls with her new husband – throughout the celebration of her wedding to millionaire fashion mogul Michael Lewis, 62, in Frascati, Italy. While her father and cousins, princes William and Harry, were not in attendance, Kitty was walked down the aisle by her brothers Louis Spencer and Samuel Aiken. Sources say Kitty’s relationship with the Earl has “cooled noticeably” since he married his third wife, Karen.…

She used to have a little, now she has a whole lot! Jennifer Lopez was living her best life as she and on-again boyfriend Ben Affleck celebrated her 52nd birthday in the South of France on July 24. It appeared to be 2002 all over again aboard a luxury $130 million mega-yacht, as Ben got to grips with the singer’s curves in a scene reminiscent of her Jenny From The Block music video, which the pair filmed when they were first together. “They sailed around from Monaco and went to St Tropez. Ben and J.Lo spent time laying on the top deck and making out,” reveals an onlooker. “They couldn’t get enough of each other.” The singer was having a blast on her special day. “52... what it do,” she…

A bit of personality AMANDA SAYS Spud comes through and shows me a bit of an attitude. I then see he’s in quite a bit of pain at times with arthritis.

FEEL THE CHILL Cooling down your water, tool and air temperatures can really make a difference to your strands. Celebrity hair stylist and owner of RAW Salon in Sydney, Anthony Nader, recommends “rinsing strands in the coldest temperature you can handle for 20 to 30 seconds before you step out of the shower. This will help close the hair cuticles making your strands shiny and less fluffy”.

At the age of 95, it was hoped by courtiers that the Queen could enjoy the twilight of her magnificent 69-year reign. After all, no one could ever have predicted that her grandson Prince Harry – rumoured to be her favourite – would take actions that make the end of her era as sovereign immensely difficult. FINAL STRAW But Harry’s vendetta against the royal family took a nasty turn when the Daily Mail’s longtime royal editor Rebecca English reported the 36-year-old had signed a four-book deal with Penguin publishers – including part two of his memoir, widely speculated to be released once his grandmother has died. “The Queen has put up with a lot – she has stoically sat by as Harry and his wife [Meghan, Duchess of Sussex] aired…

With an incredible friendship and showbiz partnership spanning 50 years, there are few who knew legendary actor, producer and entrepreneur John Cornell better than Paul Hogan, who credits his good friend with turning him into a star. “We were both larrikins – we never took life too seriously,” remembered the Crocodile Dundee star when he heard his best mate had died peacefully at his Byron Bay farm last week. MAKING A STAR It was John who discovered Paul when he was a humble rigger on the Sydney Harbour Bridge after he appeared on A Current Affair, where John, then a journalist, was working in 1971. “He was the one who insisted I should have my own show,” reveals Paul, 81, who readily admits he would probably still be working on…

Sofia Watt is no stranger to performing in front of crowds with her band, but the WA teenager is now stepping into the spotlight alone as she takes on the biggest performance of her life – her audition for The Voice! Sunday night’s performance will be the 16-year-old’s first time on stage without her band Sonatay. And while Sofia admits she’s never been more nervous in her life, she’s not afraid of the challenge. “I decided to audition solo because I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it,” Sofia tells Woman’s Day. “I wanted to show even coming from a small town, you can do anything.” She may be from the quiet but charming coastal town of Dunsborough, but Sofia’s voice has already made a huge impact…

Dani’s challenging days in the army pale in comparison to the pressure cooker that is Survivor. “People are just blatantly lying to your face. Dealing with people is the hardest part,” the 34-year-old tells Woman’s Day. But Dani says all the effort is more than worth it if she wins the big prize. “We’ve been looking at a couple of very nice Bulgari engagement rings,” says the prison officer, who plans to tie the knot with her partner of two years Jasmine, 31.…

Loren and Daniel O’Keeffe always had the kind of close sibling relationship parents dream of for their children. “There’s two-and-a-half years between us and he was the baby boy – I was besotted with him,” Loren, 36, tells Woman’s Day. “We had a really similar sense of humour – we were always looking across the dining table and rolling our eyes at the same things Mum and Dad were saying. He was my little sidekick.” The pair remained close as they moved into adulthood and although Loren admits she remained protective of her brother, she was “really proud” of the young man Dan was becoming. But at 24, Dan – who ran a successful Brazilian jujitsu academy in Melbourne – was struggling with his mental health. Suffering from depression and…

There’s been outcry among royal watchers for weeks over Buckingham Palace seemingly neglecting to include the latest addition to the House of Windsor to the line of succession. Despite Harry and 39-year-old Meghan’s daughter being born almost two months ago, Lilibet didn’t appear on the royal family’s website in her rightful place as eighth in line to the throne. But just last week, after The Sun published a story highlighting the infant’s situation, she was mysteriously added. “Let’s just say palace staff were in no rush to do anything that might appease Meghan and Harry,” says a source. “But when it started to make the family look bad in the press, they begrudgingly sorted it out.”…

The 34-year-old says her “mind was blown” when she woke up to a petition, started by 2GB’s Deborah Knight, to get her back to perform, adding, “The Olympics are always a very special time for me, so to be thought…

Two Silver Logies and appearances on scores of sexiest men lists and countless magazine covers, Home And Away star Dieter Brummer was the Aussie TV heartthrob of the ’90s. In his role as Shane Parrish alongside Melissa George’s Angel, the actor became one half of soap’s most iconic couples. While mourning the loss of the charismatic 45-year-old actor, whose body was found at his parents’ home in Glenhaven in Sydney’s north-west on July 24, his friends are keen for people to remember the cheeky, generous, sensitive man they knew and loved. “I’m still in shock. I only spoke to him a short time ago,” Tina Thomsen, who played Finlay Roberts on the Seven soap, tells Woman’s Day. “How could I not have known how lonely he was... how much pain…

Cooking is a great way for kids to lay the foundation for healthy eating habits. It is also an excellent way for younger children to practise basic maths and science concepts, and develop language skills while building their self-confidence. Callum Hann, MasterChef star and director of Sprout Cooking School, explains why getting kids confident in the kitchen is essential. Wellbeing There’s a strong link between children who learn to cook at a young age, and their overall health and enjoyment of food later in life. Kids who spend time in the kitchen are more likely to try new foods and have a balanced and varied diet. This decreases the risk of obesity, heart disease and type two diabetes, to name a few advantages! Adventurous eaters If kids learn to enjoy…
