It’s tennis season, and I for one am very excited! And as the sport’s biggest names arrive Down Under to put on one almighty show, I too have been practising my moves on the court so I’m ready to pass judgement on the world’s best players from the comfort of my lounge! Before that though, we’re taking a trip down memory lane and checking in on some of the greats, sharing with you just what they’ve been up to since putting down their racquets (p32). This week, we also catch up with Aussie country music star Adam Brand and his gorgeous family at their farm in Queensland ahead of the Tamworth Country Music Festival (p36) and pay tribute to comedy legend Betty White, who sadly passed away just days before…

He’ll be back… on baby duty! Hollywood sources say action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger – who’s already a father-of-five – is planning on adding to his family with his girlfriend of eight years, Heather Milligan. “It’s all anyone can talk about in LA right now,” says a longtime pal. “Heather and Arnold have been open about starting a family together, and while they’re both of the age where it’s not going to happen naturally, the buzz is coming from elite adoption circles.” The news comes after an LA judge finalised the 74-year-old actor’s drawn-out divorce from estranged wife Maria Shriver (inset), 66, on December 28 after 10 long years, clearing the way for him to make things official with physical therapist Heather, 47. “Rumour is Arnie and Heather are planning to…

In October she vowed to give up partying, revealing she’d been to enough bashes “to last anyone a lifetime”. But Liz Hurley’s already gone back on her word and rang in the new year in wild style with her handsome – and newly single – pal Henry Birtles. The pair were forced to confirm they’re just friends after being caught in a compromising position, which the 56-year-old shared on social media. “It was a laugh, OK, it was past midnight. Everyone had had a bit too much to drink and we had a Superman versus Supergirl wrestle and someone took a picture. It was pretty lighthearted,” explained the 55-year-old poet. “I have been a friend of Liz’s for 30 years.”…

In the decade she’s been Prince William’s princess, the Duchess of Cambridge has been happy to be the royal family’s breath of fresh air who works hard, plays by the rules and never causes a fuss. Indeed, in 2021, she proved to be the ultimate peacemaker, soothing frayed tensions between her husband and his estranged brother Prince Harry. But 2022 has presented Kate with a new set of challenges – all unfortunately involving Harry. We’re told Kate, 40, and William, 39, have been warned by the palace to batten down the hatches this year ahead of Harry releasing his first memoir about royal life. “Catherine and William have been assured that the palace will demand to see any content involving their family and will take whatever steps they can to…

Russell couldn’t be prouder of his 18-year-old lookalike son Charlie, who recently graduated high school. And now sources tell Woman’s Day that he’s interested in a career in film, just like his old man and his mum Danielle Spencer, 52. “Charlie hangs off his dad’s every word when it comes to the entertainment industry,” says a source. “He joined him in Sydney before the AACTA Awards last year, and has told his mum he’s keen to get into acting. Russell and Danielle are thrilled he wants to follow in their thespian footsteps.” The insider adds, “Danielle is keen to pull some strings among her local acting contacts and try to get him a gig on something like Home And Away, which she made a brief appearance in the 1990s.”…

So beloved was American national treasure Betty White that ahead of what would have been her 100th birthday on January 17, fans begged that she be protected by the National Guard and wrapped in bubble wrap, lest anything happen to her. But sadly, their hopes were dashed when the endearing TV icon died peacefully in her sleep at her Brentwood home from natural causes on December 31, just three weeks shy of the major milestone. While the loss has hit Hollywood and fans hard, it was indeed a life well lived. “I wouldn’t dare give myself advice – I’m too old!” the actress joked in her final interview just weeks before she passed. “But seriously, the advice I’d give anyone at any age: Taste every moment. Don’t take anything for…

DOK MITCHELL SAYS Your lovely mum is sending her love to everybody and tells me how proud she is of you. I feel the “voices” your dad has been hearing is nothing to worry about.

Your dad visiting the cemetery brings him comfort, but your mum says he only needs to think of her with love and she will be by his side. Please give your dad a big hug from her when you see him next.…

She’s not officially divorced from Kanye West yet, but that hasn’t stopped Kim Kardashian saying “Yes!” to new man Pete Davidson. According to reports, Kim, 41, and Pete, 28, are engaged after dating for just three months. And no one’s more in shock than Kim’s estranged husband! “Kanye’s belief that Kim’s fling with Pete is fake has been blown out of the water,” says a pal. “He made the fatal mistake of underestimating what the Kardashians will do for ratings – this is just what their new show needs to launch: Kim with a brand new husband and a brand new ex-husband.” And while Kanye, 44, was seen partying with a bevy of women in Miami over the new year and is rumoured to be dating actress Julia Fox, 31,…

Britney Spears has doubled down on deleting her younger sister Jamie Lynn from her life – by unfollowing her on Instagram! And a source tells Woman’s Day there’s a big reason behind the social media snub! Britney, 40, has been slowly working through her situation with her sister, 30, to get the full picture of what’s been going on – and it’s nothing short of devastating to her,” says an insider of the star. “The rumour is that she’s found evidence of a secret deal between Jamie Lynn and their dad for her to step into Britney’s shoes.

Ever since Prince Andrew was embroiled in the horrendous scandal involving the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, he has hidden behind his mother’s skirts, money and power. The Queen’s third child, 61, has barely left his mother’s estates in both Windsor and Balmoral since the case erupted, refusing to accept papers served to him by representatives of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accuses him in New York Civil Court of emotional distress and battery. She claims Jeffrey, who died by suicide in his New York jail cell in 2019, trafficked her to have sex with Andrew on three separate occasions in 2001 in New York and London. Last week, Andrew was preparing for a pre-trial hearing using a Hollywood heavyweight defence team which is rumoured to be paid for by his 95-year-old…

Aussie rocker Jimmy Barnes is more likely to have a baby than a mic in his hands these days – and that’s just the way the 65-year-old singer likes it! “Cousins everywhere, try wrangling this lot for dinner,” the star gushed on Instagram recently, alongside a snap of seven of his 15 grandchildren, who lovingly call him “Da”. “That’s what life’s all about here,” he added, clearly relishing his role as grandpa. Indeed, after overcoming his four-decade battle with drug and alcohol addiction, which Jimmy admits left his children – David Campbell, 48, Mahalia, 39, Elly-May, 32, Eliza-Jane, 37, and Jackie Barnes, 35 – “traumatised”, these days the family have never been closer. “I love being a grandfather.

I haven’t planted any vegies yet, but the…
