I remember seeing the Queen for the first time at a Royal Ascot race meeting a few years back in the UK. There she was, all smiles, dressed in her bright green coat and hat, waving to the crowd as she made her way past in a horse and carriage. It was a special moment – I could have sworn she looked right at me! Last week, doctors ordered Her Majesty to rest after a hospital stay. But if we know anything about the Queen it’s that she’s tough as nails and dedicated to duty. The 95-year-old has a sense of humour too, recently declining an Oldie of the Year award because “you are only as old as you feel”. Also proving age is no barrier is great-grandmother and real-life…
Bloomin’ beautiful Budding gardener Christie Brinkley proves she has a, er, purple thumb after organising this spectacular floral arrangement. What a handful! Nine presenters Sylvia Jeffreys and Jayne Azzopardi got their lively sons together for a play date. Baywatch Bachelor The original Aussie Bachelor Tim Robards still made women swoon after taking a dip in the ocean at Sydney’s Bondi Beach recently. Wiggly day care We can’t imagine anyone more qualified than Purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie to get his 13-month-old twin daughters Lulu and Lottie to have their fruit salad. Joining forces They’re from two of the world’s biggest pop groups, but Spice Girls’ Mel C and Coldplay’s Chris Martin joined up to perform at a charity concert in LA.

She’s had a successful career in radio for more than a decade but the stresses of the fickle and competitive industry are clearly taking its toll on Kate Ritchie. Sources reveal her coveted role at Nova may be in jeopardy. The former Home And Away actress, 43, looked distressed as she dined with friends in Sydney recently, and at one point appeared to be on the verge of tears. These pictures come as a well-placed insider tells Woman’s Day that Kate’s contract at the radio network – where she co-hosts the Kate, Tim & Joel show – is up for negotiation. While she’s currently the highest-paid, she’s at loggerheads with executives over a pay rise. “Kate isn’t getting exactly what she wants and it’s been a blow to her ego,”…
Bachelorette star Angie Kent has been slapped with a $1200 fine and four-month driving ban after pleading guilty to drink driving last week. The 31-year-old was arrested in Sydney on October 3 after allegedly blowing positive for mid-range drink driving. The judge presiding over the case in Sydney’s Downing Centre Court slammed the star, suggesting the incident is just the latest in a driving record “littered with offences,” including a previous charge and conviction for drink driving. However, the former Gogglebox star insists the bad behaviour is behind her. “I’m very sorry for my actions,” Angie confessed outside court. “I’m grateful for all the opportunities I’ve been afforded… However, I recognise that I have to do better in the future and I’m determined to make sure I do.”…
Dolph Lundgren is back for the second Aquaman movie with Nicole Kidman, which has already started filming in the UK. Insiders say Dolph, who turns 64 this week, gave Nicole Kidman, 54, “a little too much attention” on the first film and is now under strict instructions to cool it! “Nicole and Dolph hit it off on day one of filming the first movie,” says a source. “It’s what you want between your actors, but it was clear he was developing a crush on her and it made things awkward. Nicole had to avoid him once the cameras stopped. He’s a genuinely great guy but she wanted the situation cleared up before she went back to work, which is code for the production team to tell him, ‘Keep away from…
Everything Ryan Reynolds touches turns to gold, so it came as a shock to fans when he announced he’s taking a long break from moviemaking. Insiders tell Woman’s Day the 45-year-old’s dramatic decision to walk away from one of the highest-paid careers in Hollywood history has everything to do with saving his marriage to Blake Lively, 34. “Between movies and his businesses, he has no time for her and the kids,” says a source. “Blake is craving a normal life and she told him something has to go.” With the couple estimated to be worth a combined $240 million, they won’t need to supplement Ryan’s lost income for a while! “Blake couldn’t be happier,” adds the friend. “She’s looking forward to domestic bliss and family dinners every night. She’s even…
