Despite my best intentions, I still didn't get around to watching any of the Oscar-nominated films before last week's ceremony but that didn't make the glitz and glamour of the big day any less exciting! Turn to the next page to get all the goss, from history-making moments – Michelle Yeoh being the first Asian woman to win best actress – to that awkward Hugh Grant interview, as well as which A-list celebs skipped the (champagne-coloured) carpet because of behind-the-scenes drama! Elsewhere, we catch up with tradie Nedd Brockmann on how his life has changed since his record run across Australia (p38) and reveal which MAFS couples are thriving beyond the finale (p20) – you won't believe who is still together!…

Celebrity news HOT OFF THE Got something to tell us? Wedding bells are rumoured to be in the works for rugby league icon Wally Lewis and his girlfriend of almost three years Lynda Adams, who was spotted wearing a shiny sparkler at Brisbane airport last week. While the ring wasn't on her left hand, a source tells Woman's Day that Wally's family are now bracing themselves for the big announcement – but not everyone's happy about it. Wally's son, former Home And Away star Lincoln Lewis, 35, is said to be particularly upset. “He can barely speak to his father and will never forgive him for breaking up their family,” an insider explains. The 63-year-old, who stepped away from his Nine presenting role earlier this year due to health issues, confirmed…

They were co-hosts for nearly a decade, but Jessica Rowe has revealed she and her former Ten News colleague Ron Wilson didn't always see eye to eye. The 52-year-old journalist claims Ron, now 68, didn't speak to her for “around six weeks” after she asked show bosses to let her open the news bulletin. “I didn't care though,” says Jess of the stand-off. “Get loud. Use your voice and call out discrimination.” According to the Jess Rowe Big Talk Show host, an unnamed TV exec told her she was being sidelined “because Ron's a man and you're a woman”. “When I first began, I needed to earn mg stripes. But come on, six years into the role,” Jess fumed. “I wasn't going to make a fuss, I wasn't going to…

While fans were eagerly anticipating an Oscars reunion between Nicole and her former husband Tom Cruise more than 20 years after their divorce, sources spill that the 60-year-old action hero ensured he was as far away as he could be to avoid the awkward encounter – he went to the Arctic Circle! The Sun reports that instead of walking the red carpet with Hollywood's biggest A-listers, Tom decided to spend the night in an igloo in Svalbard – about 800km south of the North Pole – where he and director Chris McQuarrie are shooting scenes for Mission Impossible's eighth instalment. “Tom knows how these things play out – he'd rather get on with doing what he does best and making amazing movies that millions want to go and see [rather…

Celebrity news Just days after three cast members announced they were leaving Home And Away, one of its most beloved and longstanding stars has revealed her plans to step away from Summer Bay. Lynne McGranger, who has played Irene Roberts for more than three decades and is the show's longest-serving female cast member, surprised fans last week when she revealed her “dramatic” vision for when she finally leaves the show. “I want to get lost at sea, or I want to die a really sad, lengthy death with everyone weeping and wailing around me,” she told New Zealand website Stuff. “I want to go with the biggest bang, the most dramatic exit.” Lynne then joked that she could even do a double bluff for viewers. “Irene could get lost at…

She's been doing the rounds in recent weeks promoting her new TV series Daisy Jones & The Six, so no one was surprised to see Riley and her Aussie stuntman husband Ben SmithPetersen walk the red carpet at Vanity Fair's famous Oscars afterparty. But while they all attended Hollywood events together just prior to Lisa Marie's death to promote Elvis, sources say it was very telling that Priscilla was absent from Hollywood's night of nights – especially given the movie's eight nominations. Riley refused to be drawn on the fallout with her grandmother and instead sent a shout-out to best actor nominee Austin Butler, who failed to take home the gong for his portrayal of her grandfather. “I texted him this morning and said good luck, and I'm so happy…

Celebrity news Secret leaked tapes! In the wake of a new documentary airing in the UK about her parents’ troubled lives, Tiger Lily Hutchence appears to have vanished from public life, possibly for good. Two years after last being pictured, Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates’ 26-year-old daughter recently doubled down on her insistence that she will remain far away from the spotlight and friends tell Woman's Day she is unlikely to resurface any time soon. TRAGIC LIVES “Tiger prefers a low-key life,” says a source. “She has no interest in becoming famous like her parents were, and even though she's a singer, it's more a hobby for her than a career. The world is full of regular reminders that she would never want any part in Michael or Paula's world.”…

It's been two decades since one of the world's most famous child abductees was found and set free. And while the spotlight has remained on Elizabeth Smart ever since, the now 35-year-old wants the world to know that despite all the trauma she endured during her nine–month abduction, she's doing well and lives a normal life. “I'm a mum, I have three kids and I hate laundry,” she joked in a recent interview on Good Morning America, adding that it's “a miracle” she's alive. TAKEN AT KNIFEPOINT But unsurprisingly, the June 2002 abduction still affects Elizabeth and her family and she admits it's a “daily struggle” not to worry about her own children's safety. “I was asleep at home in my bed when I was taken. I thought I was…

Wellness Be well with Woman's Day YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU There was a time when artificial intelligence was something that we only heard about in science fiction. It might sound like the stuff of movies, but if you've taken a recent look at the news, you'll know it's become a hot talking point – with some even claiming that it might be as life-changing as the invention of the internet and mobile phones. But what exactly is artificial intelligence and how can it affect us? Also known as AI, it's the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are designed to think and act like humans. AI can recognise speech, make decisions, solve problems and understand natural language. It's not new, but many advances in recent…

Book corner Our Books Editor Wade Sellers gives us his fave Dicks for the week! After leaving children's phenomenon The Wiggles last year and relaunching herself as solo performer Emma Memma, 33-year-old Emma Watkins is also adding successful children's author to her growing resume.

For Kyle Shilling, scoring a spot on Home And Away as the first Indigenous Australian series regular is a “huge honour”. “Being able to share our culture is so important,” he tells Woman's Day. “I feel a high sense of achievement, even though I know this is just the beginning for me.” Growing up in Pottsville in Tweed Heads, Kyle is from the Widjubal clan in the Bundjalung Nation, and he remembers sitting down with his nan and pop to watch the long-running soap that he now stars on. “I was such a fan – it honestly feels amazing [being a part of the show],” he says, adding that his family “couldn't be prouder” of him after securing a fulltime spot as the “cheeky, fun, and caring” Mali Hudson. “My…

Is it a curse or just a mere coincidence that shortly after nabbing an Academy Award, all of these actresses saw their relationships end abruptly? Just days after winning the golden statuette in 2010, Sandra was blindsided by reports of her then-husband Jesse having numerous affairs – three months later, their divorce was fi nalised. Julia's long-term relationship with Benjamin lasted only a few months after her gong for Erin Brockovich.…

With a milestone wedding anniversary fast approaching, Prince Harry is on the hunt for the perfect gift for his bride. And rather than a traditional wooden gift to mark their five years of wedded bliss, he's keen to go a whole lot bigger. NEW HORIZONS UK's Heat magazine reported earlier this month that the 38-year-old is eyeing up a private island purchase somewhere in the Caribbean – and now, an insider tells Woman's Day he has an even better idea. “Harry's making inquiries about whether he can buy his late great-aunt Princess Margaret's holiday home in Mustique,” reveals our exclusive source. “It's a stunning property that has been meticulously maintained, and he likes the symbolism of taking over a home owned by a previous royal rebel.” Les Jolies Eaux –…

Bake Off judge Prue Leith claims former Friends star David Schwimmer concentrated on cakemaking, not friend-making, during his appearance on the hit UK cooking show. The 56-year-old actor popped on an apron for The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer to honour family members touched by the disease. But disappointingly for the much-loved judge, he “didn't want to talk to anybody” during filming. Prue, 83, told The Mirror, “I thought he'd behave like he behaved as Ross, he'd be like he was in Friends, but he was actually very concentrated and didn't want to talk to anybody. “He just wanted to get on baking and he badly wanted to win. He loosened up after a while.”…

Celebrity news HOT OFF THE PRESS Baby on board! Acting legend Meryl Streep admits she's the queen of “unsolicited advice” and she's no doubt dishing it out again after becoming a grandmother for the fourth time! The actress’ daughter Grace Gummer, 36, has welcomed her first child, a daughter, with her music producer husband Mark Ronson, 47. “[Grace] just had the baby. She's two-and-a-half months now,” Mark's sister Annabelle Dexter-Jones revealed. “She's stunning.” The little girl joins Meryl's three other grandchildren. The Oscar winner and sculptor Don Gummer's eldest daughter Mamie, 39, welcomed a son in 2019, while the couple's son Henry Wolfe, 43, is dad to daughter Ida, two, and son Quinn, 10 months. Meryl, 73, took a break from Hollywood when she first became a grandma. “I've been working…

A former contestant on The Biggest Loser has accused celebrity trainer Michelle Bridges of bullying and humiliating her when she appeared on the now-retired reality show. “She bullied me, belittled me and humiliated me, made me feel less of a human because I was a bigger size,” Holly Scouler, 33, who appeared on season four of the weight-loss show in 2009, claims, “I certainly didn't give her permission to put her hands on me.” Holly claims Michelle, 52, and her PR team have tried to shut down her social media account for her comments about her appearance on the once-popular series. The Perth-based mum says Michelle's former The Biggest Loser co-star Ajay Rochester – who has been locked in a nasty public feud with the fitness mogul for years –…

Home And Away is haemorrhaging its big-name talent after screen legend Georgie Parker also announced she's stepping away from the show later this year. The 58-year-old has signed on to appear in Sydney's Ensemble Theatre's Rhinestone Rex And Miss Monica, meaning she'll be absent from Summer Bay for seven weeks starting from August. Her departure follows Sophie Dillman and Patrick O'Connor's announcement that they were also leaving in order to move to London.…

Wellness Be well with Woman's Day YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU When news broke in February that Hollywood star Bruce Willis had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, it shone a light on a disease that many of us had never heard of. Also known as FTD or Pick's disease, it's a relatively uncommon but cruel disease that often strikes at a younger age than other forms of dementia. While anyone can get FTD, Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe says it most often occurs in people aged between 40 and 65. “There are many myths about dementia in the community and one of them is that only older people get dementia,” she explains. A major challenge with FTD is that it can often go undiagnosed for years. “The…

While Prince William isn't exactly thrilled that Netflix's The Crown is moving closer and closer to covering his present-day life, insiders say the 40-year-old is “feeling the nostalgia” over seeing stills depicting his university days. “It brought Wills right back to 21 or so years ago, when he and Kate first met at St Andrew's University,” says a friend. “He's not looking forward to some parts of the show – namely, the part where it shows his mum's death – but he has to admit it's nice to reminisce on the part of his life when he fell in love.”…

Rumer Willis was surrounded by family and friends – including mum Demi Moore and younger sisters Scout and Tallulah – as she and musician partner Derek Richard Thomas celebrated the upcoming arrival of their first child at a baby shower in Los Angeles. While the 34-year-old actress’ famous father Bruce, 67 – who is battling dementia – was noticeably absent, the mum-to-be said she felt “such gratitude and joy to have been surrounded by so many people that I love.” Rumer, who performed a song with her partner at the party, says she's “most excited to meet this little person and see who they are”. “I can't wait to hear their little laugh,” gushes The House Bunny star. “I am honestly just excited for all of it, even the tough…

After denying rumours he and wife Bronte have been faking their marriage in order to get more airtime, MAFS villain Harrison tells Woman's Day that he believes all the couples are faking it! “Do I think they're happy? No,” he says flatly about the pairings who are rumoured to still be together. “I mean, look at the cast. Look at Evelyn for example, she's a model. Do you really think she's struggled to get male attention [before the show]?” However, the 32-year-old builder – who despite being labelled the series’ most controversial contestant ever – insists he went on the show for the right reasons. “I can tell you unequivocally, I was there to meet someone. And if I didn't find someone, then I'd still be on Australia's number one…

Celebrity news The Presley family feud has taken another nasty turn after Riley Keough reportedly locked her grandmother Priscilla Presley out of Elvis’ famous estate Graceland! A Hollywood insider claimed the 77-year-old actress recently visited the Memphis mansion to discover Riley had “changed the locks on the upstairs doors and archives”. According to the source, before Riley, 33, was made the sole executor of late mother Lisa Marie Presley's will following her death in January, “Graceland archives director Angie Marchese, Priscilla and Lisa Marie had the only keys. So Priscilla is now locked out – and she's furious!” While a spokesperson shot down the claims, insisting, “No locks at Graceland have been changed since Lisa Marie's passing,” the war between Riley and Priscilla certainly rages on. Sources say the pair…

While the final five are battling it out to become this year's winner, former favourite Hayley Leake has turned her attention to her April 1 wedding to her fiance of 18 months Jimmy Meegan. “We are so excited!” Hayley, 32, tells Woman's Day as she puts the finishing touches on the big day. “Our priority for the wedding is to have lots of friends and family, really great music and a casual approach.” But while most brides are asked about their dress or honeymoon, Survivor fans will want to know whether her former friend-turned-betrayer got an invite. “Yes, my good friend King George is coming!” Hayley laughs. “I'm lucky enough to have room on the guest list for some of my closest Survivor tribemates. We've been through a lot together,…
