Talk about a dramatic start to the year! In scenes reminiscent of a blockbuster action movie, the US Capitol Building was thrown into chaos as rioters used violence and force to try to disrupt the counting of the electoral college votes. Five people were killed. Despite this blatant attack on democracy, there is hope on the horizon in the form of President-elect Joe Biden, who had firm words for the“domestic terrorists”. To read our special report on the situation in America and the upcoming inauguration, turn to page 6. And hot off the press from Hollywood is Kim and Kanye’s bitter split, which continues to set tongues wagging. With custody of their four kids and their $3 billion fortune at stake (among other things), this could prove to be a…

She was once rumoured to have insured her famous rear end to the tune of $35 million.

Lopez’s insane body isn’t just thanks to good genes though. Just a few days earlier, the star shared a picture of herself smashing out a workout to ring in the new year. “Monday morning!! #2021 Let’s get it!!!” she posted alongside her sweaty snap. “I eat right…

Celebrated in his youth for his dashing good looks and exemplary military service, the Queen’s second son has been plagued with scandal for several years – stemming from his “ill-judged” relationship with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Andrew, 60, was forced to stand down from royal duties in November 2019 following a disastrous interview with the BBC, where he denied an allegation he had sex with a 17-year-old girl procured for him by the financier. Princess Margaret grew up adored by the public but failed to adjust when she was overshadowed by older sister Elizabeth when she ascended the throne. The princess went on to live a troubled life, after she was forced by her sister and the government to choose between marrying her “true love” Group Captain…

Dolly Parton knows you’re looking. Go right ahead. She knows you may even be judging – but she’ll have the last laugh. Since breaking through in 1966 with “Dumb Blonde,” Parton –who turns 75 on Jan. 19 – has always been the first to crack a joke about her appearance. “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap!” is one of her favourite quips. But her fashion – approachably sparkly, unapologetically tight – has served as Parton’s Trojan horse. “I look like a woman, but I think like a man,” she’s said. “And in this world of business, that has helped me a lot. Because by the time they think that I don’t know what’s goin’ on, I got the money, and I’m gone!” (As her friend Jane…

COLD PLAY WHAT Cryolipolysis fat freezing You know that common, really stubborn pocket of fat on your lower stomach or on your upper thighs that won’t budge no matter how many squats or abdominal crunches you do? Well, that is exactly what this treatment targets! In a nutshell, cryolipolysis is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that freezes your fat cells and reduces fat in your problem area – abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms and even under your chin. Interestingly, there is no pain involved, but there is mild discomfort as the paddles literally freeze the pockets of fat. After freezing, the treated area is intensely massaged, and it’s advised you hydrate with two litres of water every day thereafter. You also have to continue massaging the area daily and exercise regularly…

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT I NEED SUPPORT-WISE? Understanding what exercise or movement you’ll be doing is key to understanding how much support you’ll need. If you do yoga or Pilates, we recommend a low-impact sports bra. For weights, walking or cycling, a medium-impact sports bra is best. Team sports such as netball, soccer and football need high-impact support, while high-impact sports like CrossFit, HIIT or athletics need extreme-impact support. All Berlei bras are tagged by their level of support, so it’s easy to work out what’s right for you. HOW SHOULD A SPORTS BRA FIT? There are a few pointers you can follow when fitting a bra without help. Firstly, the underband should feel firm but not uncomfortably so. You should fit onto the loosest hook and eye, in…

As the first program put together by Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes since she signed her $100 million deal with Netflix, there were always going to be high expectations of Bridgerton. And the eight-part series, based on Julia Quinn’s series of romance novels, has delivered, being watched by over 63 million households in its first four weeks on the streaming service.

Last moment of nostalgia This morning I was singing ‘Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is’, and it put me right into 1973.

Things are happening with such intensity, I just don’t think we can take for granted that we’re going to see each other again. Last thing I cooked Right now I’m making the best black bean soup.

Last year forced us into our sweats, socks and exercise gear but, like many, we weren’t mad about it.
