I went for dinner with some friends this week and it was one of those nights where we could've stayed for hours. In fact, we tried our best to, but when the waitress is hovering over your table with the bill, you know it's time to scarper! And so, it warmed mine – and millions of fans’ – hearts to see the beautiful friendship between Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer last week (p20) as Roger played his final match before retiring. There was something very moving about watching two people who are fierce rivals but have also managed to become the best of friends overcome with emotion. It reminded me that friendships really are one of the most important things. Happy reading!…

BRITAIN'S BEYONCE When Meghan first joined the royal family, she was fresh off her role in US legal drama Suits, but “she thought she was going to be the Beyonce of the UK,” a palace insider spills in Valentine Low's Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind The Crown. However, that wasn't written in the stars for the former actress after she discovered the stringent rules she would have to abide by. “She couldn't even do the things she could do as a private individual,” the book details. NARCISSISTIC PSYCHOPATH The Sussexes’ employees were said to be left “broken” and “terrified” by Meghan's alleged screaming tantrums, with a former staffer labelling her “a narcissistic psychopath” who was “obsessed” with leaving the palace.

Osher Gunsberg is no doubt feeling the heat after The Bachelor was shelved until next year and the future of The Masked Singer is in question after a serious ratings slump for the last season.

Celebrity news HOT OFF THE PRESS Has Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin had a sudden change of heart about their divorce they filed for in August? Or could it be an attempt to stir up interest in his new TV series? Sly's been accused of hatching a publicity stunt after he and wife Jennifer, 54, pulled the pin on their plans to divorce just a month after filing. “They decided to meet back up at home, where they talked and were able to work out their differences. They are both extremely happy,” the actor's rep said in a statement. But the timing of the sudden split, after 25 years of marriage, and rapid reconciliation has raised eyebrows, given the 76-year-old's new Paramount+ series Tulsa King premieres in November and the divorce…

According to reports, the 37-year-old mother-of-two was married when she met the Golden Globe winner but is now divorcing her husband, Jonathan Rich. But sources say she and Johnny “aren't exclusive”.…

On what would have been Peter's 50th birthday on September 20, Peter's parents, Joan and Luciano Falconio, 80, have made a desperate plea for help to find their son's body before it's too late, begging “anyone with a conscience” to help find his remains. “We want to bring Peter home where he belongs, near his family.

Dr Sood says there are three components to a breast check: Look, Feel and Move. “Remember that self-breast checks are not a daunting process and should be kept simple, straightforward, and performed regularly in a comfortable environment to you,” she says. “The process can be performed while lying in bed, slightly inclined with a pillow under your head, in the shower or while relaxing on the couch.” LOOK Stand in front of a mirror with arms by your side and check to see if your breasts are even, if the skin of the breast and/or nipple look normal and to see if there are any obvious bulky or lumpy parts.

Book corner Our Books Editor Wade Sellers gives us his fave picks for the week! Exclusive interview! In his new bestselling biography, George Michael: A Life, acclaimed music biographer James Gavin delved deep into the life of the pop legend, who died in 2016 at the age of just 53… What surprised you the most writing this book? I had no idea of the depth of unhappiness within George or the self-hatred reaching back to his childhood when he grew up with a homophobic father. George grew up feeling like he was dumpy, fat, undesirable and very uncool and the process whereby he got from that place of extreme insecurity to the top of the entire pop music world as a sex symbol who was lusted after the world over was…

Royal news BEHIND PALACE WALLS After seven decades as heir, King Charles III finally inherited the British throne upon his mother's passing at 96 just last month. As the new sovereign, the King, 73, instantly echoed his mother's promise to lifelong service as he remained stoic throughout the Queen's emotional state funeral. However, as the King takes 10 private days of mourning alongside his wife Queen Consort, Camilla, 75, after impressing the British public, the duo appear to have swiftly lost the support of his siblings Andrew, Prince of York, 62, and Edward, Earl of Wessex, 58. Palace sources now reveal the trio of brothers are “absolutely divided” as they navigate growing tensions amid managing their own grief and expectations of the crown. Adding to the “growing hostilities” between Charles and…

Farmer Wants A Wife producers have been called out for trying to pass off other people's properties as their farmers’. According to reports, Will Simpson, Harry Lloyd and Paige Marsh used “stunt properties” to film their storylines on the show. Will's TV farm was in NSW – 750km and another state away from his real property in Berriwillock, Victoria. “Farmer Wants A Wife, like all so-called reality TV shows, is a farce,” commented one viewer. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that dairy farmer Harry, from Kyabram, couldn't have been filming at his own farm either, with the background looking nothing like the north-central Victorian town. It turns out they were right, with Seven admitting the scenes were filmed elsewhere. “Due to COVID, part of Harry's Farmer Wants A Wife journey was filmed…

No one could be prouder than her dad John, 68, with sources saying he is “awestruck” over the similarities between Ella and her late mum Kelly Preston, who died in 2020. “It's a heart-wrenching moment for John,” says a friend. “He's never had his heart soar and ache at the same time. Ella's so much like her mum, it's uncanny. Not just her smile, but her mannerisms and expressions – it's even more…

TV update It's been blow after blow for The Block's Shaynna Blaze and sources say the reality star's ready to snap! Sadly, there's mounting pressure from fans for the 59-year-old to be replaced, along with fellow judges Darren Palmer and Neale Whitaker. “Shaynna Blaze is the main reason I've stopped watching The Block… I could understand some of her decisions but it's all down to TV drama, don't worry about how the contestants feel, it's really so sad,” one fan savagely wrote online. FANS TURNED FOES Others have suggested Shaynna and her co-judges are out of touch and should be bumped in favour of real estate agents and property evaluators to add a touch of authenticity to the judging process. “Think the judges need to find new careers.

Royal news QUEEN MARGRETHE'S HISTORIC DECISION Denmark's Queen Margrethe has made the bold decision to remove the prince and princess titles from four of her grandchildren – and not everybody is happy. In a shock announcement last week, the palace declared the children of the queen's second son, Prince Joachim, 53, will no longer have their titles or be able to use His or Her Royal Highness.

It seems not everyone is a fan of the show. Diana's close friend, TV and film producer Jemima Khan, was brought in to help advise on the script depicting Diana's final years. But the 48-year-old quit in November, claiming Diana's story was not being handled “as respectfully or compassionately as I had hoped”. “It was really important to me that the final years of my friend's life be portrayed accurately,” she said. Jemima went on to say that she even asked for her contributions to the show to be removed.…

“It's great to know you're part of this [group] who do the same sort of mad thing you do,” ALan Moyse says as he polishes up his bell and boots. He's getting ready to welcome cruise passengers into Eden Wharf on the NSW South Coast. “It shouLd be fun,” says the 71-year-old. However, his wife Wendy won't be accompanying him to the port. “While she does sometimes get dressed up too, she still thinks I'm a bit insane,” Alan laughs. “Some people think it's great, some think I'm a weirdo.” His loudest recorded cry is 96 decibels, which, as the former HR specialist explains, “in occupational health and safety terms, you're supposed to wear ear protection”! The Bega Valley Shire town crier says he is now working to take out…

And Kathy.” Friends say co-star Kathy, 65, was “nothing short of a peacemaker” on the set of Hocus Pocus 2, and the sequel to the belated 1993 classic “wouldn't have been made without her…

For centuries, town criers made public announcements in the streets while adorned in an elaborate costume. Now largely a ceremonial position, there are around 20 official criers in Australia.
