G OOD F RI E NDS Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has told Prince Harry she can’t wait to welcome Meghan Markle into the royal fold. Our Aussie icon had an unexpected one-on-one with Harry on his two-day trip to Copenhagen, and told him she thought his American girlfriend looked ‘absolutely stunning’. The 33-year-old prince wasn’t due to meet with Mary, who was supposed to be in Senegal, or her husband Prince Frederik, who was in Thailand on official royal duty. Instead, he was set to meet with Queen Margrethe – who he clearly charmed, with the pair photographed in fits of laughter inside Amalienborg Palace. But when Mary’s trip to West Africa for a conference on child marriages was cancelled amid security fears, a private meeting with Harry was…

BEAR GRYLLS SAVED US! Hopelessly lost, hungry and thirsty, Michelle Pittman thought she was going to die in the bush with her young son. What began as an enjoyable drive to scope out Mount Royal National Park in the Hunter region of NSW on the October long weekend, turned into a desperate battle for survival. Michelle, 40, had time off work, so she had taken her nine-year-old boy Dylan for a walk in the great outdoors. The boy had been bullied about his weight and the concerned mum was doing her best to help take his mind off things. Spotting a camp site, she parked her black 4WD and they wandered off to investigate the area further. A small trail led them over a creek to a fork in the…

THE LOVED-UP COUPLE CAN’T WAIT TO START A FAMILY Only in New Idea Aussie sweetheart Sophie Monk’s dream of becoming a mum finally came true when she confessed her love for Stu Laundy on national television. Even before going public with their romance after the grand finale of The Bachelorette, the loved-up duo made no secret of their plans to start a family together straight away. ‘I told him I want a baby and to get married,’ the 37-year-old revealed to Jackie O on national radio last month. And now New Idea can finally reveal Sophie and $500 million pub heir Stu, 44, are hoping to fall pregnant soon. According to the source, the former singer, and Stu, a father-of-four, have their fingers crossed for a baby in the near…

She went to extremes THE TERRORIST The UK’s most wanted granny, ‘White Widow’ Sally Jones was recently killed by the CIA in a drone strike. The 50-year-old ISIS recruiter was a high priority on the Pentagon’s kill list after masterminding dozens of terror plots and being linked to a planned attack on the Queen and Prince Philip. The mum-of-two from Kent – a former punk rocker – joined the terror group after meeting her jihadi lover, Junaid Hussain. The single mum dragged her youngest son JoJo with her to Syria in 2013. Horrifying videos later emerged of the 12-year-old boy executing prisoners, who wore orange jumpsuits. ‘He was brilliant... a normal boy – always chasing bugs, going down the park,’ his devastated father (he declined to be named) told the…

From Beyonce to the Obamas – when it comes to friendships, Oprah Winfrey is known to pick people with integrity. Which is why fans were shocked to see her very friendly public appearance with serial womaniser David Foster at the David Foster Foundation 30th Anniversary Miracle Gala in Vancouver last month. The music producer is said to be in a casual relationship with former American Idol star Katherine McPhee. Sources told US Weekly: ‘It’s a little more than casual, but they’re not exclusive. ‘Kat thinks they should be a little more serious, but it’s mainly casual on his part.’ Oprah and David have been friends for over 13 years, with the talk-show queen attending his wedding to Yolanda Hadid.

FIRST CHOICE NIC BRINGS THE VA VA VOOM! Just weeks after Kim Cattrall’s shock exit from the latest Sex And The City film and publicly slamming co-star Sarah Jessica Parker as ‘toxic’, the hunt is on to find a replacement – and all eyes are on Nicole Kidman. Producers of the hit series have reportedly approached the Aussie Oscar-winner to take on the role of Samantha Jones for the latest hugely anticipated instalment of the film franchise. It’s believed they’re pulling out all the stops to have her sign on for the gig – including a reported $20 million salary – as they see Nicole, 50, as being the A-list power they need to take the film to the next level. ‘The producers and Sarah Jessica Parker want Nicole Kidman,…

Exc lusive report There’s no denying that Karl Stefanovic has had a rough 12 months since announcing his shock marriage split in late 2016. After facing a wave of criticism over his messy divorce from his wife of 21 years and his controversial new romance with a much-younger model, the TV host was recently back in the headlines over his role in Lisa Wilkinson’s shock walkout on Today after a salary war over Karl’s inflated pay packet. Now things could go from bad to worse for the 43-year-old TV star amid claims that he may be battling skin cancer. It’s been revealed that Karl underwent a biopsy last week to determine whether a suspected and possibly deadly sunspot on his left arm is a malignant melanoma. Experts say malignant melanoma…

L O V E NES T Schapelle Corby’s social media accounts have set the rumour mill on fire with whispers she may be pregnant! Even though her soulmate Ben Panangian remains in Bali, an Indonesian friend of Schapelle’s has said the pair were actively trying to conceive a baby before she returned to Australia in May. Days ago, Schapelle posted a photograph of herself sitting in a giant bird’s nest – in the Bedugul region of Bali – alongside the simple, cryptic caption: ‘Nesting’. One commentator posted: ‘Is this a hint you’re pregnant Darl?’ While another asked: ‘Bun in the oven?’ Another cheeky fan even speculated that Schapelle could be expecting twins, writing: ‘Laying an egg? or 2.’ It’s clear the forced separation from her Balinese beau has been a…

BABY SURPRISE Watching her precious threeyear- old son Mason excitedly blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, Kate Hudson’s eyes brim with pride. ‘He’s the friendliest, happiest little kid,’ she tells New Idea. ‘Everyone that meets Mason loves him.’ Kate was backpacking through Europe three years ago, when she discovered she was eight months pregnant. It was a huge shock considering she was wearing a tiny, size-six bikini, had no sign of a bump and was still having normal periods! Kate went into a mad-dash to reunite with her partner of 18 months Aaron Allport back in Australia and prepare for the surprise birth. ‘We had spoken about marriage and children, but not in so much detail because we didn’t think it would be coming so soon. I imagined…

According to Jessica Mauboy, if it weren’t for one special woman, she would not have become a household name. Her string of hits, tour with Beyonce, high-profile film roles, successful Channel Seven drama and legions of fans are largely thanks to the selflessness of the 28-yearold’s beloved mother Therese. More than 11 years ago, the Darwin mum-of-five and wife of Ferdy gave up her life to accompany a 16-year-old Jessica to Sydney to compete in the top 12 of Australian Idol. Mum had to leave the rest of the girls – plus my dad – to look after me in the big city, and she hated it,’ Jessica tells New Idea. ‘She made it very clear she hated it. She was like: “I hate this place.” The hustle and bustle…

JONESY SAYS... There is a world of great costume ideas for Amanda and me. We could go old-school JFK and Marilyn Monroe – me as Maz of course. Or Kanye and Kim, again me as Kim – although we’d have to get around the ‘skin enhancing’ issue. I’ll leave that to Amanda, she’s very diplomatic. Perhaps Fred and Rosemary West – serial killers are still scary, aren’t they? Failing that, we could go as a pantomime horse – although I’m up the front this time. I’m not being the bum again! AMANDA SAYS... Halloween seems to have morphed from ‘spooky’ into ‘dress like your fave celeb’. I’m up for the challenge. I reckon Jonesy and I could go as a double act. Perhaps we could be the couple of the…

STILL SINGLE? Q I’m going to a family get-together in a few weeks and I’m dreading it. My relatives always ask me why I’m still single, as though there is something wrong with me, but my explanation doesn’t satisfy them – I’m only 28, there’s plenty of time. How do I tactfully tell them to rack off ? Bec, Katoomba, NSW. A I can never understand why some people are so insensitive. They may be your relatives, but the constant inappropriate interrogation is thoughtless. I’m sure the third degree is not intentional. When you arrive at the function, announce you are still single and loving it. Request no chatter about your personal life, they will be the first to know if there is a change.
