In this week’s issue of New Idea, I’m absolutely loving the brave stories from some of our favourite female Aussie icons. At the ripe young age of 80 years old, Prisoner star Maggie Kirkpatrick has revealed how she’s braved her very first on-camera nude scene – read the full story on page 30. Meanwhile, Tziporah Malkah has wound back the clock (27 years to be precise!) by recreating scenes from her legendary silver-screen debut in Sirens. Check out the final take on page 22. These stories and more are giving me all the girl-power feels. Who runs the world? Girls!…

From the minute Nine’s Magda Szubanski-led reboot of the Weakest Link was announced, nobody was quite convinced the comedy legend could revive the once-popular game show. Now, low ratings have cast doubt over the 60-year-old’s future on the small screen, with audiences turning off in droves. Last week, the show’s ratings plummeted to an all-new low. The third episode scraped in an abysmal 284,000 metro viewers – down from 300,000 in the week before, and a launch audience of 423,000.…

They had one of Tinseltown’s most publicised love affairs that lasted well over a decade, and it seems the connection between model Elizabeth Hurley and actor Hugh Grant is stronger than ever! According to insiders, Liz, 56, has put Hugh, 60, in the doghouse with his wife, Anna, after she revealed last week she’s been unlucky in love because no man’s ever lived up to her ex-boyfriend. “It was the final straw for Anna,” dishes the source. “She has maintained a dignified silence while Liz has boasted relentlessly about talking to Hugh all the time.” Liz told People that she is still “extremely good friends” with Hugh, who is also the godfather of her son, Damian. The insider maintains Liz’s closeness with the actor has grown into quite the sore…

In recent years, the royal family have experienced a baby boom. Princess Diana’s former psychic, Sally Morgan, tells New Idea that fans can expect another baby from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge soon. “I think Kate and William are highly likely to have another child, which will be a surprise,” she says. And, while Harry is spending some time settling in at home with his newborn daughter, Lili, Morgan predicts he will return to the UK for the unveiling of Diana’s statue in July. “Harry will make every effort to return, albeit brief –arriving and departing in secrecy,” adds Morgan. But despite making the return, she claims that the rift between William and Harry will continue for some time, with their children missing out on spending time together. “[Archie…

When an LA family court judge last month awarded Brad Pitt joint custody of the five youngest children he shares with Angelina Jolie – against her vehement wishes – her world fell apart. Sources say the star is still determined to get the ruling overturned, dragging out Hollywood’s most toxic divorce well into its fifth year. But in the meantime, Ange is focused on moving forward with her kids, and has fled her LA mansion for an apartment in New York City. An insider exclusively tells New Idea she jetted out of Hollywood the day after her 46th birthday with her six kids in tow. She mysteriously opted to fly commercial on a domestic route to JFK Airport, rather than her usual private plane. “The jets she uses are easily…

Generations of Aussie families fell in love with homesteaders John and Olivia Walton, and their seven kids, as they forged a simple but happy life on Walton’s Mountain in rural Virginia during the depression era in America. The Waltons was an unlikely hit when it launched in 1972, in a world exploding with change. The Vietnam War was still dividing families here and in the US, the Watergate scandal was unfolding, women marched to the beat of feminism and the hippie culture was born. “The chemistry we had as a group created television magic,” recalls Richard Thomas, who became a huge heart-throb playing the lead role of eldest son, John-Boy, after an initial reluctance to quit movies for a TV series. Now a dad to seven kids of his own,…

Under a cloudless blue sky on the most perfect winter’s day, singer Jason Owen returned to his home town to marry the love of his life in a tiny church overflowing with family history. It’s been more than two years since The X Factor star proposed to girlfriend, Rebecca ‘Becy’ Harvey, live on national TV. But their intimate, joyful wedding took place out of the spotlight in pocket-sized Albert, the rural NSW village where Jason grew up. “I think that’s one of the things people remember about me from The X Factor – that I was the only child growing up in a place with only 12 people,” grins Jason, who hit the gym and lost a whopping 16kg ahead of his big day. “That and the fact that I’d…

The benefits of exercise for kids are endless. It encourages healthy growth and development, and it’s been linked to everything from self-esteem to academic performance to overall mood and wellbeing. But at a time when kids are moving less than ever, how do you get them motivated? UK celeb trainer and The Body Coach founder Joe Wicks shares his favourite tricks. MAKE EXERCISE FUN Firstly, Joe says it’s important to bring the fun back into fitness. “I think this is a huge part of it,” he explains. “The element of play and just fun.” It’s something that Joe and his wife Rosie also encourage with their own kids – daughter Indie, 2, and 1-year-old son Marley. “I’m putting in the work now so that when they’re teenagers, they still love…

Colin Farrell surprised many onlookers when he competed in the Brisbane Marathon on June 6. Dressed in all black, the Irish actor wore a tank top bearing his country’s flag. According to the MC of the event, Colin’s team informed marathon officials that he’d be running, and requested that his participation be kept quiet, that he had somewhere to rest and that there was room for his entourage to stay while they waited for him to finish.…

Former Bond Girl Britt Ekland has made a candid confession about her previous penchant for cosmetic work. “It ruined my career as well as my life physically!” the 78-year-old admitted of her work. “I’ve had thousands of injections ever since, trying to dissolve them, and there is still some in there. I would say to everyone out there: do not do it! Look at Helen Mirren five, six, seven years ago, and look at her now. She looks amazing. I wish I had her doctor.”…

Dr Chris Brown has shocked fans after making a bold admission about having children. The 42-year-old revealed he would “love to have his own golden baby Brown baking away” and feels “like he’s missing a major social movement” by not having a “COVID baby” amid the pandemic. It’s certainly a candid comment from The Living Room host, who is often tight-lipped about his personal life. But it’s not the first time Dr Chris has revealed he’s not happy about being childless. “It surprised me how much it got to me. It certainly made me look at where I am in my life. If you’d told me at 20 I’d be unmarried and without kids, I probably would’ve been horrified,” he said when he turned 40, explaining he had prioritised work…

Back in 2019, Harry hinted he liked the name Lili during a royal tour. However, in the end, he and Meghan gave their daughter the variation, ‘Lilibet’, which is the Queen’s personal nickname. Following the birth, controversy arose over whether the Sussexes told the Queen before naming their baby girl. A palace source suggested they didn’t, but Harry and Meghan are adamant that the monarch was definitely told “in advance of the announcement”. Regardless of whether the Queen was informed, royal experts still tell New Idea that Lilibet was a surprising choice. “If I’m honest, I’m slightly shocked by Lilibet,” says royal author Penny Junor. “The name was very specific to the Queen, and private.” Royal expert Angela Levin also wonders if an ulterior motive could be at play. Referring…

There’s no denying, Shaynna Blaze’s stint on Celebrity Apprentice has showcased a whole new side to the star. Used to seeing her play the stern judge on The Block, viewers have loved seeing Shaynna’s compassion shine through on the hit series, which was on full display when she kindly handed over charity funds to her on-screen rivals, The Veronicas. But there’s one part of herself that Shaynna, 58, is still keeping close to her chest – her love life! Earlier this month, the TV favourite had tongues wagging when she hinted she had met a new partner by revealing she would be keeping her romances out of the public eye going forward. “I’m taking my love life private,” she declared to TV Week magazine. “My life has been splashed out…

Jamie Durie might be happily settled down with his pregnant fiancée, Ameka Fields, but New Idea hears the TV favourite’s life could soon be turned upside down! While Jamie prepares for impending fatherhood, his ex-girlfriend, Anjali Rao, is currently filming the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Melbourne – and we’re told the former CNN anchor is going to blow the lid on their whirlwind romance. On-set insiders insist Anjali, 47, will “go there” on the Foxtel show – which could see her spilling details about how her once red-hot romance with Jamie left the duo no longer on speaking terms. Close friends of Anjali say she is throwing herself into her work as she tries to rebuild her life after her bitter split with the former House Rules…

Forty years ago, a letter that was sent to New Idea helped change the lives of hundreds of Aussies suffering with a rare genetic condition. In June 1981, Lynn Wilson (formerly McKinnon) sent a call-out to the magazine for families suffering with tuberous sclerosis – a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow on a person’s organs. Lynn and her only child, daughter Tracey, were both diagnosed when very little information was readily available. Determined to help other families, Lynn wrote a letter to the editor of New Idea, Dulcie Boling, who published her plea. She was soon inundated with responses, which helped launch her charity, Tuberous Sclerosis Australia. Now, the charity is celebrating its 40th year, and the impact it has had on families affected by the condition is…

Thanks to our thirst for eternal youth, cosmetic procedures are on the rise here in Australia. So much so that we’ve beaten the US when it comes to cosmetic procedures per capita! Fortunately for us, it looks like 2021 is the year for natural-looking results and treatments that don’t require a week recovering behind closed doors. Here, our experts weigh in on the procedures that can take the years off – but also mean you can head straight back to the office after! 1 SKIN PLUMPER Kim Kardashian’s skin guru Melissa Haloossim does a treatment called CryoLift, which uses a combination of CO2 and hyaluronic acid to stimulate oxygen in the skin.

The hardest part of any home improvement is choosing the right tradie for the job. Find the right one and you’ll breeze through the construction. But hire the wrong one and you’ll find yourself in a never-ending nightmare. So, how do you pick the one? Stuart Tucker, hipages’ chief customer officer, shares his top tips for choosing trustworthy tradies. REQUEST TO SEE THEIR LICENCE Before a tradie commences any work, always request to see their licence to ensure it’s valid for the value of the planned work. It’s important to know that not all trades require a licence, and the rules vary from state to state. Trades such as builders, electricians and plumbers will always require qualifications. ASK FOR EXAMPLES OF THEIR WORK Review examples of their previous work so…

Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial for maintaining our physical and mental health. But that’s easier said than done with our busy lifestyles. So, what do you do if you struggle to doze off ? Well, the solution might just lie with hypnotherapy – a meditative state that leaves us open to the power of suggestion and helps us realise specific goals. “Many great people, such as business leaders, surgeons, sportspeople and performers, will use a form of self-hypnosis,” says Claire Aristides, clinical hypnotherapist and founder of the Mindology app (available on Apple and Android devices). “When we purposely do self-hypnosis, we aim to tell our unconscious mind what we want for ourselves.” So how can hypnosis help troubled sleepers? “It’s estimated that we have over 80,000 thoughts daily…

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21 Why not put that golden touch to good use? A fundraising project might prove satisfying.

SOUNDS FISHY I recently talked to a student about his poor spelling. He’d written: “I am looking forward to the weekend and catching some barrasatdy.” “Do you mean barramundi?” I asked. “No,” he replied, “I’m going on Saturday, not Monday.” DAWN DOLINSKI, BOOYAL, QLD. A FITTING TRIBUTE Special thanks for your 16-page souvenir feature celebrating the life of Prince Philip. It was a wonderful montage of stories and historical photos celebrating the long and fruitful life of this much-loved and respected royal. While the Queen has lost the love of her life, her “rock” and greatest supporter, I’m sure she’ll find comfort looking back over the many decades of their happy marriage and their life in service together. JUDITH CAINE, DONVALE, VIC. MERE MALE My dear MM friend told us…

Each week, Travel Guides’ Janetta provides us with plenty of laughs as she traverses the globe with her husband, Kevin. Here, she chats to New Idea about everything travel… The best thing about being on Travel Guides is… that it takes me out of my comfort zone in more ways than one. I usually like to put a lot of effort into planning a holiday, down to the last detail. Having someone else do it was disconcerting initially, but the unknown adds another level of excitement. Something fans would be surprised to learn about the show is… that we have no idea where we’re going until we get to the airport. We could end up in Manhattan or Wagga Wagga! All we’re given is a packing list and a temperature…

Sinead O’Connor has unleashed a torrent of wild allegations against fellow superstar musician Prince, claiming that the pop icon attempted to kidnap and harm her – and that he even engaged in devil-worshipping behaviour. In her new biography, Rememberings, Sinead details her first meeting with the late musician at his home in 1991, shortly after covering his song ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, which went on to become a worldwide smash hit. However, the Irish songbird says things took a violent turn when Prince allegedly attempted to kidnap her by wielding a heavy object at her. Sinead claims she quickly fled the house with Prince in hot pursuit. “I guess he didn’t bank on the Irish in me telling him to go f--k himself,” Sinead wrote. Sinead added that the melee…

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden finally gave the world its first glimpse of their 1-year-old daughter, Raddix, when they enjoyed a family outing in California recently. With her adorable brunette curls, Raddix appears to be a clone of her famous dad! Benji and Cam secretly welcomed Raddix into the world back in December 2019. Of parenthood, Cam has gushed: “It’s just amazing. It’s the best thing that ever happened to both Benj and I. We’re just so happy.”…

Beloved actress Sally Field looked as fit as a fiddle while she ran errands in Santa Monica earlier this month, and friends say the age-defying Forrest Gump star has no intention of retiring anytime soon. The mother of three – and grandma of five! – appeared in the TV series, Dispatches from Elsewhere, last year and is now busy filming a highly anticipated HBO series about the LA Lakers basketball team’s rise to success in the ’80s. “Sally hasn’t aged at all and she’s as sprightly as she was when she was Smokey and the Bandit’s sex bomb in the ’70s,” says a pal. “She’s in the midst of a huge career resurgence! Everyone wants a piece of Sal right now.”…

Despite her martial breakdown with husband Stuart Webb, Kate Ritchie has always remained a dedicated mother to her 6-year-old daughter, Mae. And last week, the 42-year-old star prompted speculation she’s eager for more children when she took to Instagram to gush about her adorable nephew, Jack. “This aunty gig of mine sure is getting busy,” Kate captioned the sweet snap of Jack nestled in her arms. “Not complaining one little bit.” Insisting motherhood has changed her life in unexpected ways for the better, Kate has previously said of adding to her brood: “Having children is a wonderful distraction from yourself and also opens up a brand-new world that is far greater than anything.” While Kate’s marriage to Stuart went south in 2019, the star was recently linked to Victorian-based businessman,…

›They both quit their high-flying roles on breakfast television for a lifestyle change, but it seems former Studio 10 star Jessica Rowe and ex-Sunrise anchor Samantha Armytage could have a surprise blockbuster return in the works! Last week, Jessica had rumours swirling after she met up with Sunrise executive producer Michael Pell, 38, three years after quitting her TV hosting role at Studio 10. Sources insist the meeting was just friendly, but New Idea hears Jess, 50, is “without a doubt” putting her feelers out for future projects on the small screen – which could involve teaming up with Sam! Interestingly, over the same weekend, Michael finally addressed rumours about his rocky friendship with Sam, and confirmed he is still friends with the former Channel Seven darling. “I have known…

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they’d named their daughter Lilibet after the Queen’s lifelong personal nickname, the decision was met with bewilderment due to their recent public attacks on the monarch and her family. But for Princess Beatrice, who last month announced that she and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expecting their first child, it was a lot more personal. “Beatrice got teary when she heard they’d gone with Lili,” says a source. “And with good reason. Everyone knew she had planned ever since she was a little girl to call her firstborn daughter Lily, inspired by her grandmother. Now that dream is in tatters, and she’s heartbroken.” Bea, who has been bumped to 10th in line to the throne now that Harry and Meghan have welcomed…

It’s been nearly 40 years since Prisoner aired, but fans will never forget Maggie’s menacing portrayal of Joan ‘The Freak’ Ferguson. Yet, fast forward to the present and a whole new generation has come to know the prison governess, thanks to Pamela Rabe’s portrayal in the reimagined series, Wentworth. While Maggie praises Pamela’s portrayal of her famous character, she admits that she would’ve loved a cameo in the hit series. “I would have killed to do something in that show,” she says. “When it was first on, my friend Pamela Rabe had the idea that I should be the governess’  secretary, not saying anything but just sitting across from her, typing away. It would have been a very amusing, little cameo, but it didn’t happen. But how good was Pamela?”…

“One of our main goals with Thermomix has been to promote health by teaching people to cook from scratch – and to make it easy, too. Hommus became a spotlight recipe for us, as it was such a staple for so many, and when made at home with real ingredients, it’s healthy, too. At the time, I was working a lot with the late Ivy Bullen, an oncologist who placed a lot of emphasis on nutrition, and also with Jude Blereau, a wholefood chef in Perth. They both loved chickpeas, tahini and spices for their nutritional benefits. We loved teaching Australian consultants about the different types of hommus and how they could mix and match flavour profiles.” Grace Mazur, founder Thermomix Australia and NZ.…

Whether a romantic lover friend, colleague, or a family member, no-one starts a relationship thinking, “Let’s project our insecurities and past traumas onto each other.” The start of any new relationship is exciting. Then, somewhere along the line, we might find ourselves fighting about things that don’t matter. Molehills become mountains and emotions start to run high. Toxic relationships, no matter their shape, are hard. Insults, judgements, and snide remarks start eating away at our confidence. Toxicity drains the life out of us. It prevents us from being the best version of ourselves. We become lethargic, tired, and even insecure. If this is sounding all too familiar, these tips from self-development coach and I Deserve Better author Maz Dela Cerna may help with getting yourself realigned. IDENTIFY YOUR BEST SELF…

Introducing your fur baby to your real baby can be a daunting process. But it needn’t be. Dr Chantelle McGowan, Royal Canin veterinarian, explains the do’s and don’ts when your family of three becomes a family of four. TAKE IT SLOW No-one likes change, and pets are no exception, so introducing your four-legged friend to your new baby slowly and safely is essential, says Dr McGowan. “Dogs use their nose to learn and understand situations. They’ll want to sniff and smell your newborn baby, and this is why it’s crucial to be there to supervise the interaction to ensure they are not too vigorous,” she advises. Dr McGowan explains you shouldn’t expect your pet and bub to bond straight away, but you can help get the ball rolling by letting…

Sheridan’s bedding expert, Dimity Green, reveals the do’s and don’ts to create a serene sanctuary. DO Choose the right bedding fibres. “Different fibres have different weight feelings and warmth ratings. It’s important to consider how these fibres feel before investing in bedding,” says Dimity. “For winter, natural fibres such as wool are one of the best insulators, however they are a little heavier than feather and down.” DON’T Buy everything separately. “People can also make the mistake of deciding on pillows, quilts and toppers separately,” explains Dimity. “When choosing a bed topper, try to purchase the same fill type as the quilt and pillow.” DO Pick the right pillow. “Firstly, are you a back, side or front sleeper?” says Dimity. “Lower profile pillows are ideal for front sleepers and smaller…

READER Q&A Q I’m a Pisces lady who’s back in the dating game (I’m in my late 40s), mainly online at this stage. Which star signs might suit me best? ANNA, RYDE, NSW. A With your sun and moon both in Pisces, and Venus in the sign of Cancer, you have loads of water in your chart. People with ‘watery’ charts tend to benefit from the grounding quality of earth signs, which means that Taurians, Virgos and Capricorns are most likely to resonate. But keep in mind that even if someone’s sun sign is ruled by earth, their horoscope might be full of different elements. Q I’m finding life hard right now and wondered if you can see things improving. My elderly mother is becoming more demanding, my job feels…

Kate Winslet has revealed her days of doing on-screen nudity may be behind her. The actress has famously disrobed in films such as Titanic and The Reader, as well as her recent miniseries, Mare of Easttown. However, in a recent interview, Kate said, “I’m just not that comfortable doing it anymore. It’s not even really an age thing, actually. There comes a point where people are going to go, ‘Oh, here she goes again.’” That being said, if and when Kate, a 45-year-old mum of three, does flash the flesh, she wants it to be authentic. She explained that the director of Mare of Easttown wanted to cut “a bulgy bit of belly” in a sex scene with Guy Pearce, but she warned him, “Don’t you dare!”…
