Innholdsfortegnelse for Issue 47, 2022 i Woman's Day

When the first photos of Cher, 76, stepping out with her new 36-year-old boyfriend came out this week, the Woman’s Day office was abuzz! While a select few internet trolls had a lot to say about it, Cher didn’t miss a beat when she took to Twitter to insist, “Love doesn’t know math…” and doubled down on something we always knew about her, “I don’t give a… what anyone thinks.” It’s a level of self-assurance we should all admire. In the spirit of not giving up on love, I encourage you to tune in to Nine’s My Mum Your Dad - it’s heartwarming, with the perfect amount of reality TV absurdity that we love. But don’t take my word for it, take a read of our interview with host Kate…

IT’S WILLS’ WORLD While royal fans have flocked to congratulate King Charles, anti-monarchy sentiment has increased. Insiders concede that Prince William’s “stable marriage” and “modernity” are perhaps the only hope for a successful future for the palace. “Many have been calling for Wills to be king since he was a teenager,” admits a source, who says Charles is painfully aware, more so than ever, that William, 40, has grown up to be a well-liked heir, something he never truly was. TEARS & TANTRUMS With fresh reports that Prince Andrew has hit “rock bottom” as he is distanced from The Firm, insiders say the wayward prince has become the monarch’s “Achilles heel”. One palace sleuth concedes that if it weren’t for Charles’ promise to his late mother to not “ice out”…

Celebrity news HOT OFF THE PRESS JOH’S BRAVE BATTLE Celebrity friends are sending “healing vibes" to Johanna Griggs' husband Todd Huggins after a cancer scare saw the builder rushed into emergency surgery. “Two simple surgeries to remove a BCC skin cancer became a bit more complicated when the wound became infected,” the 49-yearold Better Homes And Gardens star shared on social media, alongside a snap of her husband of 16 years recovering in Sydney’s Northern Beaches Hospital. “A hospital stint and another operation were in order.” Now, Joh says, Todd, 48, is holed up at home trying to heal, and the TV star is urging fans to get their skin checked in order to avoid the same ordeal. Luckily, the celebrity couple have plenty of support in their corner as…

Jessica Simpson has been forced to hit back after fans voiced concern for her frail appearance and slurred speech in a promo video she shared on social media. “Something is wrong here,” one wrote in response to the ad for home decor store Pottery Barn Kids, in which the star’s sunken eyes, thin appearance and slow speech sparked speculation. “She’s obviously not well,” wrote another. But the 42-year-old singer, who’s battled alcoholism and an eating disorder in the past, admitted she’s been “hurt deeply” by people’s “comments and judgements” and assured fans she’s been five years “without alcohol”. However, it did nothing to dampen the chatter. “I think people are just genuinely concerned,” wrote one follower. “I hope she’s OK,” added another.…

Making news After weeks of shocking revelations in the William Tyrrell case, it’s been announced the missing boy’s biological mother is expecting another baby. It hasn’t been a smooth pregnancy for the 34-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, after she was recently charged with several counts of domestic violence offences, stalking and assault. She is on bail and is due to appear in Hornsby Local Court later this month after allegedly stalking a woman and sharing intimate photos of her. The charges came just two weeks after she pleaded guilty to assaulting her 32-year-old partner at a Sydney bus stop in September. She was sentenced to a one-year community corrections order and was warned that if she is charged with another offence in the next year, she…

Psychics KEEP IN TOUCH WITH MITCHELL ONLINE! Visit mitchellcoombes.com Q Can you please tell me why two strangers on two separate occasions in different shopping centres said almost the same thing to me? I’ve been wondering about it for years and the reason behind it. Michelle MITCHELL SAYS I always say there is no such thing as a coincidence - everything happens for a higher purpose. I feel the reason you’ve had these unusual encounters is because your angels or a loved one in Spirit was trying to get a special message or sign across to you through the “words” of a perfect stranger. I’m told the same “words” or “message” were expressed to you on two separate occasions because Spirit wanted to make sure you would notice and receive…

Wellness Be well with Woman’s Day YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU There’s nothing quite like a summer road trip, but they can be stressful if you’re not properly prepared. Thankfully, a little bit of know-how and planning in advance can make all the difference. Here’s how to keep your journey smooth and hassle-free! Don’t drive at night, sunrise or sunset Justin Hales, CEO of the RV rental platform Camplify, says this is one of the most important things to remember. “Kangaroos and cattle are very active at night and during the early hours of the day. They often crowd around the roadside where the grass grows thick,” he says. “Naturally, this results in a lot of collisions. So it’s best to avoid driving at night, sunrise or…

However, a little bit of prep can go a long way. As an experienced globetrotter, digital nomad and mum-of-two Sarah Tarca has visited four continents and eight countries, travelling for six months at a time. “Before the pandemic rudely interrupted my fun, I was travelling for five years, first with my partner, then my son (now three), and now with another one-year-old boy in tow,” she explains. “We've travelled by plane, sea, bus and train for hundreds of thousands of kilometres, both abroad and across Australia. Was it all Instagram moments and power ballads singalongs? Almost never. But was it worth it? Absolutely.” Whether…

Royal news Mike Tindall is clearly mixing business with pleasure Down Under on the set of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! UK. The flirty former rugby player was snapped getting to grips with a crew member on the Gold Coast as production got underway on the reality TV hit. “Mike cheekily ran up behind the pretty crew member before swinging her around on the pontoon ” revealed an onlooker. “At one point he pretended to push her over the edge.” While Mike’s antics raised eyebrows, the fun-loving star has been spending his on-camera time gushing about his royal wife Zara.

A visibly distraught Scotty has revealed he’s going to try to do everything he can to “help out” Sarah-Jane and Tom after their devastating result in last week’s controversial auction. Speaking to Woman’s Day, the Long-serving host, 59, who had grown a particular fondness for the self-confessed “bogan” couple, says he was “shattered” for them, and called them “probably the hardest working team on The Block”. “We’ll find them something to do,” he reveals. “We’ll give them a second chance down the track - because they were such great competitors.”…

Radio star Michael “Wippa” Wipfli has raised eyebrows by confessing he and his wife Lisa no longer share a bedroom. According to the Celebrity Apprentice star, the couple first started sleeping separately due to the radio host’s 4am starts on his Nova FM Fitzy & Wippa show. But their toddler daughter Francesca’s sleeping issues have also put a strain on the couple’s nine-year marriage. “(Francesca’s sleep) has affected us both being able to lie together and have a moment of peace together,” says Wippa, 43, who enlisted a sleep consultant to help the couple with the issue. And while the two-year-old is now sleeping through, the pair - who also share Theodore, seven, and Jack, six - have no plans to bunk up together again. At least, Lisa jokes, until…

Spotted in Sydney Aussie TV icon Jana Wendt made a rare public appearance as she joined a string of former Nine stars at the funeral of TV legend John Westacott in Sydney’s Darling Point. The 66-year-old former 60 Minutes presenter, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight since being dropped by Nine in 2006, chatted to one-time colleagues as they mourned the loss of the TV executive, who fell off his yacht and died in Sydney Harbour last month after a medical episode. Since leaving the TV industry, Jana has carved out a new career as an author, a vocation, she says, that suits her better than the glitz and glam of TV. “I am quite happy to be alone,” she admits.…

TV update Viewers were baffled after waking up to a different blonde with up-and-coming reporter Amelia Adams mysteriously replacing Allison Langdon on Today. Amelia, 39 - who has been serving as a Nine News foreign correspondent in North America and Europe for the past four years - quietly flew back into the country to step in for the absent Ally, 43, with a TV insider spilling to Woman’s Day producers have grand plans for the star. “They're prepping her for when Ally finally steps away,” says the well-placed source, adding that they're “testing the waters” to see how audiences respond to her with co-host Karl Stefanovic. “It’s like a live chemistry test - and producers and Karl are very happy with the results.” Karl openly praised Amelia on the show…

Celebrity news For a time, Michael Hutchence and Bono had one of the most enduring friendships in rock music - an industry usually littered with jealousy and competition. The pair - frontmen of INXS and U2 respectively - were neighbours when Michael lived in the South of France, where their “personality differences” cemented a bond. “He was a nice guy to be around,” Bono once said. “He was very light, whereas I don’t think I’m the easiest person to be around, so we balanced each other out.” DIVIDED BY DRUGS Bono was among the millions left heartbroken by drug-addicted Michael’s death by suicide in 1997 - exactly 25 years ago this month though it seems it wasn’t a shock to the Irish rock star. “We were flying between shows and…

Fiona Spence Prisoner We all fell in love with Fiona for her gutsy portrayal of tough-as-nails warden Vera Bennett in the iconic soap Prisoner. She later reprised the role in the early 1990s for a British stage version as a result of an intense demand from overseas fans. When it came time for Vera to hang up her baton, she opted for a sea change, playing spinster Celia Stewart in Home And Away. While working on the show, she attended Monash University studying for an arts degree in English. She also made the odd television appearance as a celebrity guest on game shows as well as a guest performance as Eleanor McCormick in Packed To The Rafters. Living a quiet life in the Blue Mountains, Fiona, 76, has now retired…

Real life Only in Woman’s Day Kopika and Tharnicaa race ahead on their scooters, ponytails flying, the sound of their laughter in the air. It is an every day scene for many Australian families, but for Priya Nadesalingam this is a dream she barely dared imagine until recently. Priya, her husband Nades and their two girls Kopika, now seven, and Tharnicaa, five, spent four years in immigration detention, part of which was on remote Christmas Island. “The uncertainty during detention was the worst thing” Priya tells Woman’s Day with the help of a translator. “We were always scared of deportation. It could happen at any time. I was constantly worried about my children and their safety.” Nades and Priya fled to Australia separately nearly a decade ago. They met and…

Cameras have started rolling in Melbourne on Nine’s controversial biopic Warnie, which looks at the life of the late King of Spin Shane Warne. Thanks to the negative chatter surrounding the miniseries, it seems the network couldn’t attract a big name for the title role, with little-known actor Alex Williams stepping in to play the beloved sports star. Meanwhile, former Home And Away actress Marny Kennedy, who was seen on set wearing a prosthetic bump, is playing Shane’s ex-wife Simone Callahan. Nine says the Warne family have “offered their support for the series”, despite Shane’s eldest daughter Brooke previously labelling it “beyond disrespectful”.…

New tensions at Nine have been laid bare after Karl Stefanovic was forced to apologise to 60 Minutes after he offended the team by defending famed neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo following their explosive exposé in late October, where they questioned his ethics and practices. Karl, 48, wrote an apology to his colleagues - which included the revered Nine identity and journalist behind the Charlie Teo hit piece, Kate McClymont - after he said the “pile-on with Charlie was very difficult to watch” in an interview with the media. “I’m just sorry this whole thing’s gone on for so long,” he added. While Karl and Charlie are close friends, an ulterior motive may have been behind the spray, with sources saying that Karl, an occasional 60 Minutes contributor, had originally pitched…
