Bringing her own lighting to Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy gala wasn’t the biggest diva move Mariah Carey pulled last week. The 54-year-old singer was slammed by fans for seemingly failing to help longtime friend Stevie Wonder, 73, on stage at The Recording Academy Honours after he presented her with the Global Impact award. “Mariah was wrong as hell for that,” tweeted one critic of the awkward moment, which saw Stevie waiting to hand Mariah a microphone, after the singer had already found another and begun her acceptance speech. “Stevie fighting for his life in the back,” commented another of the iconic singer, who at one point appeared to stumble a little.…

With multimilliondollar TV contracts that include the cost of everything from her wardrobe to her dry-cleaning, Lisa Wilkinson has long been one of our highest-paid TV stars. But who knew she also had a property portfolio that propels her to the top of the celebrity rich list, including one parcel of land in Sydney’s Lower North Shore that is estimated to be worth up to $70 million alone! Lisa, 64, and her husband, author and former Wallaby Peter FitzSimons, live in a mansion in Cremorne worth up to $40 million and also own the house next door, which comes with a $20 million price tag. One leading real estate agent claims that if the two properties were sold as one huge parcel of land, Lisa could net up to $70…

With just hours to spare before Taylor Swift touches down in Australia, fans are on the edge of their seats to find out whether her football superstar boyfriend Travis Kelce will be joining her!

The Duchess of Sussex will not be seen in the UK anytime soon. Sources say Prince William, 41, doesn’t want her anywhere near his family, especially his wife Kate as she recovers from abdominal surgery.  Despite reports suggesting Meghan’s absence is because she thinks it’s something Harry “has to do alone”, Woman’s Day hears she was not offered an invite. However, Phil assures, “I’m sure Meghan has sent him her good wishes for a speedy recovery.”…

Geri Horner’s eight-year marriage to Christian is under pressure after the F1 racing boss was hit with bombshell allegations of “inappropriate behaviour” towards a female colleague. According to an insider, the 50-year-old – who has publicly denied the claims – has been accused of being “incredibly controlling”. Friends say the former Spice Girl is “devastated” by the scandal but is standing by her husband. “Geri has been in floods of tears all weekend while looking after her kids,” says an insider of the 51-year-old singer. “She is insisting Christian has done nothing wrong.” But Red Bull Austria – which owns Christian’s F1 team – has confirmed an inquiry into the mystery woman’s claims is underway. “After being made aware of certain recent allegations, the company launched an independent investigation,” it…

Platform silver Prada shoes, a $1000-plus Zimmermann dress and a $700 bag by US-based designer Jonathan Simkhai were just the beginning of the eye-popping bill for Jasmine Yarbrough’s epic 40th birthday bash, which friends are calling “the party to end all parties”! “Karl is an old romantic and told friends his wife’s birthday was worthy of a huge celebration. She’s brought him so much happiness and given him a whole new lease on life and he was happy to go all out,” says a pal. “He loves hosting and doesn’t hold back – it’s not about showing off, it’s more about treating his friends and family.” And treat them the 49-year-old did. It’s believed the celebrity couple hosted the fun-filled bash at Noosa’s popular waterfront eatery Bistro C, before inviting…

The biggest case Ned Doubleday has solved started with the brazen theft of two trailers of livestock valued at more than $300,000. After tracking down the trucks that were stolen from public saleyards to a location in the Snowy Mountains, the detective senior constable watched in bemused wonder as one thief fled into the wilderness. “His getaway was short-lived after he decided to jump into a dam in the middle of winter,” Ned laughs of the memory. “Luckily, there were a couple of fit highway patrol blokes who were able to run him down pretty easy. It became part of a long-winded investigation that led to the recovery of over one million dollars worth of stolen vehicles across several districts.” COUNTRY CRIMES Sometimes cracking a case for Ned can be…

Linda Peterson isn’t like most nannas. For most mums and grandparents accompanying their children to one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour dates across Melbourne and Sydney this month, they may know the odd song or two. The 65-year-old, who has been a Swiftie for nearly two decades, is incredibly excited to be able to share the moment with her nine-yearold granddaughter – and fellow Swiftie – Audrey at Melbourne’s Cricket Ground on Saturday night. “We love to do things together and we love being Swifties!” Linda tells Woman’s Day. “We can’t wait to soak in the atmosphere.” SPECIAL BOND Wearing a sequinned skirt and arms heavy with the friendship bracelets Swifties create to swap with each other, Audrey will be among 100,000 other fans decked out in Taylor-inspired outfits.

Somehow, in between her crazy filming schedule, Jamie Lee Curtis has managed to pen 12 bestselling children’s books! And while they’re simple tales aimed at readers aged three to seven, the Academy Award winner, 65, reveals to Woman’s Day how they’ve transformed and inspired her own life and why writing them gives her even more of a buzz than acting these days! How did the idea for Just One More Sleep come to you? It was Christmas Eve 2020, and my neighbour Betty, who was four then, passed me on the street as I was getting my mail. She was all masked up but I said hi and asked if she was looking forward to Christmas. She said it was still one more sleep, which made me think about how…

She’s definitely a quadruple threat – singer, actress, dancer and washer-upper! Excuse me! SETH ROGEN It’s movie star versus robot!

PRINCE HARRY He jetted 8800 kilometres for a 45-minute meeting with his father, a move deemed “significant” and one insiders suggest could mark 39-year-old Harry’s return. Princess Diana’s friend Tina Brown agrees, “Charles would love Harry back.” The roadblock is William. “How they work that out will be painful.” ZARA & MIKE TINDALL Royal reporter Angela Levin is tipping Zara Tindall, 42, and her husband Mike, 45, for a bigger role within the royal family as Charles’ boutique firm starts to look threadbare. “My own view is that he could have Zara, who is the daughter of Princess Anne, because she and her husband Mike fit in beautifully... they’re very popular, they’re very nice, they’re jolly, they’re honourable, they’re loyal to all the royal family,” Angela told GB News.

Aussie heartthrob Jacob Elordi may have squashed his Hollywood career just when it was getting started after a squabble with a radio producer in Sydney. There are fears the 26-year-old could face having his US work visa revoked after NSW Police said they were investigating the Saltburn star for an alleged assault. “Officers attached to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command are investigating after a man was allegedly assaulted outside a hotel in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs,” a statement from NSW Police reads. “Police were told about 3.30pm on Saturday 3 February 2024, a 32-year-old man was allegedly assaulted by a 26-yearold man. The man did not sustain any injuries. Inquiries into the incident is continuing.” Jacob is accused of grabbing KIIS FM staffer Joshua Fox, a producer on the Kyle &…

Justin Timberlake is considering sitting down for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in a bid to give his side of the story in his ongoing public feud with ex Britney Spears. “His comments on stage have only added fuel to the fire,” says an insider of the singer, who tellingly told the crowd he’d like to “take this opportunity to apologise to absolutely f** king nobody,” before launching into his 2002 song about Britney and her alleged cheating, Cry Me A River, on stage in New York on January 31. “The idea of a sit-down chat with someone like Oprah Winfrey was floated months ago and is now back on the cards.” According to the source, Justin, 43, is really unhappy with “how things have gone down”. “He wanted…

For decades now Sydneysiders have been tuning in every night to watch the 6pm Seven News to see one man – Mark Ferguson. The Walkley Award-winning journalist has become one of the most trusted voices in media, and this year is marking a staggering 40 years in the biz. It’s a milestone even he is struggling to fathom. “It’s strange and hard to wrap your head around,” he laughs to Woman’s Day. “I’m wondering how that happened so quickly, but I’ve been so lucky to have had such a lengthy and interesting career.” A STORIED CAREER Mark cut his teeth in the mid-1980s when, straight out of high school, he was offered a cadetship with Seven in his hometown of Tamworth. “I think I was well out of my comfort…

1989 Born in 1989, Taylor grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania with her parents Scott and Andrea and little brother Austin. At age 14, everything changed for the singer when her family moved to Nashville so she could pursue her dreams. Not long after, she landed her first record deal, impressing executives with her lyrics, which were stripped straight from her diary. The rise to the top doesn’t come without its pitfalls. There have been consistent rumours about a rift between her and her actor brother Austin, who, according to reports, struggles living in his big sister’s shadow, while her mother has had her own battles after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and 2019, when a brain tumour was discovered amid chemo. Despite her mum’s…

It’s true, money can’t buy the satisfaction a pet can bring, but there’s no two ways about it – while our furry friends are adorable, pet expenses can add up. Here’s some genius ways to save on pet bills this year. PET INSURANCE Got a new pet? Consider insurance from a young age to save money over their lifetime. Insurers are less likely to cover for pre-existing conditions (at the very least premiums will go up), so it makes sense to start insuring your pet when they’re young. It’s also important to read the fine print for exclusions and caveats. For example, larger dogs can be prone to hip dysplasia so you would need to look up if the policy covers that condition.

Down in one! Cringy or kind of cool, celebrity endorsements can help sell out a brand in seconds or break the internet for all the wrong reasons – we’ll never forget Kendall Jenner’s infamous Pepsi ad! But when they’re sitting down, smashing through a pack of Oreo biscuits (we see you, Kris), or smoothing over their grey roots with a bottle of hair dye (hello, Drew), there’s something about it that makes us stop and listen. And if we can see them dress up in a Mario Bros costume, make fun of themselves over a viral meme or rock a red carpet while advertising a new toilet facility, then they’ve got us hook, line and sinker. Take our money!…
