WILLIAM’S HEARTACHE OVER PANORAMA Prince William fought hard to get his mother’s fraudulently obtained 1995 Panorama interview, conducted by embattled journalist Martin Bashir, pulled from the airwaves, and insiders say he’s furious it will be re-enacted in The Crown. The Telegraph reports that Princess Diana’s eldest son is “angered” that Netflix is revisiting the interview for “financial gain”, with some reports insisting an entire episode will be devoted to the controversial sitdown.

The nanny tells all! Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis have been forced to dismiss “scurrilous” claims after the couple’s former nanny went rogue, spilling dramatic details about the pair’s 2020 split, in a scandal that’s been dubbed “saladgate.” According to the unnamed employee, the devastated Ted Lasso star threw himself under Olivia’s car in the midst of one explosive fight to try to prevent the 38-year-old actress leaving their home to see her new boyfriend Harry Styles, 28. “Jason told me, ‘She made this salad and she made her special dressing and she’s leaving with her salad to have dinner with [Harry],” says the nanny, who cared for the pair’s two kids, Otis, eight, and Daisy, six. She also claims the 47-year-old actor found out about Olivia’s romance with the…

After her relationship with disgraced ex-doctor Andrew Wakefield quietly ended, Elle Macpherson has moved on to a handsome musician. Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal that the 58-year-old Aussie supermodel is seeing guitarist and songwriter Doyle Brahmall II - who was previously in a seven-year relationship with Bridget Jones’s Diary star Renee Zellweger. Doyle, 53, posted a picture of himself and Elle at an Eric Clapton concert in Zurich last week, before heading for a romantic break in Morocco. “Elle and Doyle have been in each other’s orbit for a couple of years,” says an insider. “She keeps their romance fairly under wraps, but he’s ready to sing it from the rooftops.”…

Book corner Our Books Editor Wade Sellers gives us his fave picks for the week! The evening Number 96 premiered on the 0-10 Network (now Ten) in 1972, outraged media outlets dubbed it “the night Australian television lost its virginity”. Pitched as a “racier” version of Coronation Street, the prime-time soap, which followed the misadventures of residents who lived in a four-storey apartment block in Sydney’s Paddington, broke new ground with its full-frontal nudity, sex scenes and taboo subjects at the time. Now, TV historian and Number 96 fanatic Nigel Giles is taking Australians back to the iconic complex in his new book, Number 96: 50th Anniversary Album. He interviewed some of the show’s biggest stars to reveal many explosive secrets, exclusive never-before-seen images and sordid behindthe-scenes tales that make…

A feud between two of Sister Act’s biggest stars has emerged after star Kathy Najimy Learned - live on TV - that the film’s reprise is moving ahead without her! The 65-year-old actress was on US talk show The View to promote her new film Hocus Pocus 2, and was quizzed over the rumblings of a third sequel to the hit ’90s comedy but Kathy said she’d been left in the dark. “I haven’t heard anything formal about three yet, but I think it’d be a blast of fun,” she replied. However, when she turned to co-host Whoopi Goldberg to confirm the rumours, she was left visibly shocked. “It’s happening,” Whoopi, 66, said awkwardly. “We’re getting a script at the end of the month.” To make matters worse, Whoopi refused…

Justin Theroux once gushed that he and ex-wife Jennifer Aniston “still bring each other joy and friendship” and that “it would be a loss if we weren’t in contact” four years after they split. “We call each other. We FaceTime. We text,” added the 51-year-old. And it seems The Leftovers star was the first person on Jen’s mind to message as she fronted the snappers on the New York set of Morning Wars. “Last shot and a bazillion paps,” the 53-year-old was photographed writing to her former spouse, who she was also spotted dining with at Brooklyn hotspot Laser Wolf in September alongside a group of their friends.…

Wellness Be well with woman’s Day YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU Simone and Ravi were one of those couples other married people thought of as perfect. They had a successful small business, three amazing kids and spoke of more ups than downs when they saw friends. So when the time came for Simone, 43, to tell family and friends that the 18-year marriage was over, their surprise said it all. “Everyone was shocked,” she says. “From my mum to the neighbours and our work team, no one could believe it.” Worse than shock was the sadness that they responded with. “A mum from school burst into tears because she said if we couldn’t make it together, how could anyone else? Everyone thought we were solid. That was…

Life Be well with Woman’s Day YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU Thanks to COVID, many people have endured anxiety that comes with the uncertainty of income and the threat of getting sick or passing it on to our loved ones.

I am an avid reader and was enthralled and captivated by The Ear Of The Heart! It’s an autobiography about a glamorous Hollywood actress who became a Benedictine nun in Connecticut in the US.

She made 10 films in five years, playing opposite the likes of Montgomery Clift, George Hamilton and Robert Wagner. She also made her debut on Broadway, winning a Theatre World Award, as well as a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in The Pleasure Of His Company.

Celebrity news HOT OFF THE PRESS James Corden was forced to “profusely” apologise to the owner of New York restaurant institution Balthazar after he was barred for “abusive” behaviour. “I strongly believe in second chances” says owner of the celebrity favourite haunt Keith McNally, who now believes the comedian “doesn’t deserve to be banned.” But the restaurateur told a different tale previously, dubbing the 44-year-old TV host as one of the most troublesome patrons towards Balthazar servers since they opened 25 years ago, after the comedian visited with his wife on October 9. According to Keith, James’ prior visit in June didn’t exactly go down well with staff either. This isn’t the first time the Late Late Show host has sparked rumours his friendly on-camera persona may be a front.…

Denzel Washington sparked fears for his health when he was spotted using a cane to walk on the set of his latest movie The Equalizer 3 on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. The 67-year-old - who made his name as an action star - worried fans by appearing a little out of action with his new accessory. “Wow I didn’t know Denzel was that old,” commented one online of the Oscar winner, who is reprising his role as former operative Robert McCall in the spy thriller. “Denzel’s not a method actor so I can see why everyone would be freaked out, especially using it to get out of a golf cart,” says a long-time friend. “He’s had his share of health problems and only recovered from COVID in July, but there’s no…

Celebrity news Given how many times Julia Roberts has third-wheeled with George Clooney and his wife Amal to gala events in recent months, you’d be forgiven for forgetting she has a partner of her own! Despite Julia, who turns 55 this week, hitting several red carpets recently to promote Ticket To Paradise, the film she shot in Queensland alongside George earlier this year, there’s been no sign of her husband of 20 years, Danny Moder, 53. “People are starting to talk,” says one onlooker, who saw the unlikely trio on the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures red carpet on October 15. DIFFICULT TIME Insiders note that the film has been marked as Julia’s big return to the rom-com genre and Danny being missing at such a critical time in her…
