Before I read this week’s interview with Fleetwood Mac’s manager Dennis Dunstan, I thought I had the best job in the world!

See page 22 for more of Dennis’ tales, including the band’s heartbreaking trip to Australia.

Of all the people the Duchess of Sussex has left behind on her road to royalty, it’s her ex-husband Trevor Engelson who she fears the most. The 46-year-old film producer knows everything from her early fame-hunting days in LA as well as the truth about her parents’ split – and it looks like the rest of the world might know all about it soon, too! After years of retaining a dignified silence over the breakdown of their three-year marriage and nine-year relationship, royal expert Neil Sean confirms Trevor is finally ready to tell the truth. “Many agents have offered him big deals and big money... I would think that he will take stock and look at all options,” Neil, who has met Trevor, reveals. Our own sources maintain that “it…

A throat operation gone wrong left her with scarred vocal cords 26 years ago, but Julie Andrews has never given up hope she’ll one day put that four-octave range voice back to use on stage.

She’s aware procedures like structural implants and vocal cord repositioning are widely available,” says the pal. The star, 88, has been fulfilling her love of singing by performing singalongs on her bedtime story podcast, Julie’s Library.…

Sophie Delezio, 22, has spent the past seven weeks slowly recovering from major and complicated surgery on her “dodgy” left knee so that she can fulfil her dream to marry fiance Joseph Salerno, 23.

It has been really beautiful to…

He’s got his own set of worrying health problems to contend with, and now Paul Hogan has been left with new concerns for the wellbeing of his troubled son Chance. The 24-year-old posted a disturbing video on Instagram last week, showing cuts and bruises on his face and body. A shirtless Chance appeared disoriented as he showed his friends laughing with him in the car, later explaining to his followers that he had “broke” his face and had been treated in hospital. “Thanks for the concern everyone,” he wrote. ‘Paul has given up so much for that boy’ Not surprisingly, the video sparked alarm bells for his dad Paul, 84, who has primarily stayed living in Los Angeles so he can keep an eye on his wayward son.

ONLY IN WOMAN’S DAY SHELLEY CRAFT The Aging Project This week on The Aging Project, I had an enlightening conversation with Kate Christie, author of The Life List, and I wanted to share some fascinating insights with you. Kate made a compelling distinction between a bucket list and a life list. While a bucket list typically contains grand, often adrenaline-fuelled adventures we’d like to tick off before we kick the bucket, a life list is something deeper. It’s a dynamic, evolving compilation of experiences, both big and small, that contribute to our overall happiness and fulfilment. It’s about embracing life daily, not just during rare, adventurous moments. Kate’s wisdom taught me that life isn’t just about managing time – it’s about investing it wisely. We should wake up each morning…

Hot new couple alert! Eternal bachelor Leonardo DiCaprio might be regretting that he didn’t commit to his fling Gigi Hadid, now that Bradley Cooper has set his sights on her. The actor, 48, and the model, 28, were spotted having dinner at Via Carota in New York before they left together in the same car. The hot new couple followed up their cosy date with a quick weekend getaway, with one insider revealing, “There is an attraction.” But Gigi’s ex Leo, 48, is not pleased about the fast-moving romance. A source says, “Leo is not impressed that Bradley tried it on Gigi so soon – it’s kind of disrespectful and against the Hollywood Bro Code.

On the eve of The Voice Australia’s big finale, US coach Jason Derulo was hit with shocking claims he sexually harassed a young singer on his label. Emaza Gibson, 25, has sued the hitmaker, claiming he “maliciously” promised her success via a contract with his Future History label in August 2021, only to terminate the deal when she denied his sexual advances. Jason, 34, has called the claims “false and hurtful”. Emaza says there was an “explicit demand for sex-in-exchange-for-success” from Jason, and that she was repeatedly pressured to socialise with him and was plied with “inappropriately large amounts of alcohol”.…

The never-ending Smith family saga just got even stranger as Jada Pinkett Smith – who revealed she secretly separated from husband Will seven years ago – claims that Chris Rock asked her out before the now-infamous Oscars slap!

And he profusely apologised.”…

DECLARATIONS OF LOVE ON STAGE The singer often talks marriage and babies at her Vegas shows. ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTES “Time flies”, she posted on Instagram to mark one year with Rich. RING RIDDLE Adele wore this sparkler, insisting, “I might as well be married.” TENSE PUBLIC OUTING There were signs of strain at a basketball game in Ohio. She’s been calling Rich Paul her “husband” for a while now, even though they haven’t married or even officially become engaged yet. But while Adele gushes about the man she’s admitted she’s “obsessed” with, there are questions among fans about why Rich doesn’t seem to be reciprocating her public declarations of love. “Have a look on the outside: Rich wears no ring, no trace of Adele on his page, EVER, no trace of…

Only in Woman’s Day Julie Goodwin lets out one of those belly laughs that put an instant smile on the faces of all in her orbit as she sheepishly admits that one of the first words her two-year-old granddaughter Delilah uttered was “cookie”. “She’s just burst into our lives. I couldn’t have foreseen what she has done to our hearts. You love your children so much, you feel like you’re going to bust with it, and then a grandchild comes and a whole new part of you opens up,” Julie, 52, tells Woman’s Day. She and her husband, Mick, 53, recently returned from a week holidaying on the NSW south coast with the entire family – including Delilah, her parents Tom, 26, and Crystal, their eldest son Joe, 27, and…

One in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their life, and breast awareness is essential at every age. Associate Professor Cleola Anderiesz, CEO of the National Breast Foundation (NBCF), talks us through everything we need to know.

YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BEING THE BEST YOU 1 GAIN VISIBILITY If you check your bank statement, you may find you’re paying for some things you just don’t use any more. The average Aussie spends $45 a month on two streaming services. If you find you really only use one, cut this back to one and pay roughly $25 a month. You could put the remaining $20 towards starting a shares portfolio. Thanks to the power of compound returns, you’d potentially have $3805* in 10 years’ time! *Assuming an average rate of return of 8.7 per cent, and an average contribution of $20 a month. 2 PAY YOURSELF FIRST If you’re prone to overspending when your pay comes in, move some money out of your current account as soon as…

Almost a year after quitting The Project, Lisa Wilkinson has all but disappeared from the public eye, and her TV career remains at a standstill as she awaits the highly publicised defamation trial over the Brittany Higgins case to begin in November. Lisa, 63, was set to be the keynote speaker at a women in business event in Albury Wodonga next month, but she cancelled last week and comedian Em Rusciano was announced as her replacement. Lisa has been laying low since Bruce Lehrmann sued her and Ten over the interview aired on The Project in early 2021, in which Brittany first made the claims to Lisa that she was raped by a “male colleague” in Parliament House in 2019. ONGOING COURT BATTLE The unwanted attention only escalated in June,…

Page Six reported that 71-year-old Jamie developed a “bad infection” that required surgery. The singer, 41, is now debating whether it’s time to make peace with their turbulent past.

Tense times for John Thousands of people turned out at Melbourne’s Tan Track for the biggest Olivia Newton-John cancer wellness walk yet, but there was one notable face missing from the crowd – her close friend John Travolta. A source reveals that the 69-year-old Grease star was absent from his late co-star’s charity event because of his relationship with her widowed husband John Easterling! “There was no reason why John couldn’t be there, but he got the message loud and clear from Olivia’s husband to back off during the funeral – and nothing’s changed since then,” explains the insider. Olivia’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi, 37, was front and centre, alongside her cousin and Olivia’s niece, Totti Goldsmith, 61. In its 10th year, the walk raises funds for Olivia’s cancer wellness centre,…

As Australia still reels from the news of comedian and presenter Cal Wilson’s passing from cancer last week, the country’s biggest names in comedy have paid tribute to the star, who tragically leaves behind husband Chris Woods and son Digby after her shock death at age 53. “Oh Cal. I just wish so much that this wasn’t true,” Magda Szubanski wrote. “Thank you so much for your humour and kindness. Sending all my love to your friends and family.” The Masked Singer’s Urzila Carlson said her “heart is broken for her family and for everyone that has ever met her because she was amazing”, while radio host Dave Hughes dedicated an entire segment to her on his 2Day FM show, tearfully calling her “just a generous, generous, beautiful soul”.…

They’re one of the biggest bands in history – Fleetwood Mac are the British-American rock group who, since forming in London back in 1967, have sold more than 120 million records globally and have immortalised themselves in the process. But behind their chart hits, infamous drug and alcohol abuse, and the tears and tantrums, there was one man who tried to hold the band together during both the dizzying highs and the crashing comedowns – Australian manager Dennis Dunstan, who would go on to describe his tenure with the rock legends as being the “world’s highest paid babysitter”. “I said it as a bit of a joke at the time, but I guess there’s a lot of truth in it,” Dennis, 69, tells Woman’s Day. “Because of their fame and…

CELEBRATING COMMUNITY SPORT When Fatima Yousufi laces up her football boots and steps out onto the pitch in Docklands, Melbourne, she can’t help but think about the life she’s left behind in her homeland, Afghanistan. “I thought I had to give up all my dreams,” Fatima, 21, tells Woman’s Day. “But now we’re together and that’s the most important thing.” The team captain of the Afghanistan women’s national team helped her teammates flee the country after the Taliban came to power in August 2021. After an international effort from sportspeople and activists, including SBS soccer pundit and humanitarian Craig Foster, the team managed to escape on a military plane when the Australian government granted them emergency visas to Australia. Known for their horrific treatment of women and girls, Fatima knew…

Spring has well and truly sprung! A breathtaking wave of colour has rolled through the countryside, with even the cooler regions now in full bloom.
