Just a few weeks after Britney Spears’ memoir, The Woman in Me,, hit book shelves and became an instant bestseller, the singer has revealed she’s planning a follow-up tell-all! Britney, 41, admitted on Instagram that most of the content in The Woman in Me touches on was from “20 years ago”, before teasing that “Volume 2 will be released next year … get ready!” While Britney’s yet to put pen to paper, an insider tells New Idea she hopes “to do a detailed expose on her court cases,” says the source. “There’s a lot more she wanted to reveal in her first book, but it would have been held up by legal battles, so it was left out.”…

When it comes to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, it seems there are few intimate details about their personal life left to share. After all, Prince Harry spilled extensive tea in his book Spare, while he and wife, Meghan Markle, have shared a myriad of stories about their life together in countless television and podcast interviews. Still, it seems Meghan might believe there is still mileage – and money to be made – from airing their dirty laundry. New Idea has long heard that Meghan is writing a memoir of her own, and has been saving journals from her time as a working royal. The only problem is, the 42-year-old could be having a tough time getting a major publisher on board. “No-one wants to be attached to it,…

As the pair took to the stage together at the exclusive event on October 27, Jackie was “all over Gwyn,” tells a guest. “Someone has a girl crush!” Many of Jackie’s industry pals turned up to share in the excitment. However, there was one notable famous face missing from the crowd – Sophie Monk, Jackie’s closest mate for over two decades. The duo are never far from each other’s side, whether it’s enjoying a pampering day, jetting off on holiday together or gossiping on Jackie’s radio show. But Sophie’s unusual no-show…

DOCTOR WHO turnsturns 60! When Brisbaneborn actress Janet Fielding successfully auditioned to become Doctor Who’s new companion in 1980, she never imagined she’d still be flying in the Tardis all these years later! Now 70, Janet played the very feisty Tegan Jovanka, and tells us, “The companions never really did more than three years.” Thus Janet went into the job thinking she might only last 12 months if her character didn’t “work” or connect with Doctor Who’s rabid fan base. However, the world immediately fell in love with Tegan, who remains one of the most memorable classic companions of all time. “She was the world’s crankiest air stewardess!” Janet says with a laugh. “I always thought of her like Lucy in [the comic strip] Charlie Brown – she was Lucy…

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE Despite popular belief, carbohydrates are in fact good for us! We need them for energy production, digestive health, cardiovascular health, keeping us full, controlling our blood sugar, mood, energy storage, building up macromolecules, sparing protein, keeping us regular – and they taste good too! They’re one of our three macronutrients and we need them just as much as we need protein and fats. THE GOOD & BAD There are different types of carbs. There are bad ones, also known as simple or refined, and the good ones, complex carbohydrates. Simple carbs include cakes, biscuits, white bread, white pasta and sugar. These foods have given carbohydrates a bad wrap and are linked to type 2 diabetes, inflammation, obesity and cardiovascular disease. These are the ones…

It follows a father trying to reconnect with his estranged son by inviting him to participate in a father-son fishing competition. As a keen fisherman, Michael is revelling in the movie’s theme – but Catherine, 54, not so much… “She plans to visit in the next two weeks but she’s insisting he not smell of fish,” says a pal. “She’s even made sure he has a shower in his trailer!”…

Seeing vibrant Isabelle Northey warming up for her latest dance eisteddfod, you would never guess she spent last year fighting for her life. With dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer, Isabelle, or Belle as loved ones call her, was a healthy and happy 10-year-old girl. Then in May 2022, all that changed when she bumped her wrist on a trampoline. It remained slightly swollen before Isabelle vomited and complained of chest pains. Suspecting a small fracture, Isabelle’s mother Chrystal took her along to their local hospital for an X-ray – never imagining that it would end in a cancer diagnosis. “I thought that she had probably hurt her wrist again at dance, but I never thought it was anything more than a fracture,” Chrystal, 36, recalls. “But as soon…

Should I look up my symptoms online? By Future Publishing. Compiled by Madison Bogisch. We’ve nearly all done it. Worried about a lingering cough or a new rash, we quickly type our symptoms into Google. In fact, most of us will read health advice on the internet before deciding to see a doctor. This may not be a surprise, given that the average waiting time for a GP appointment can be days. “Every second patient will say to me they’ve looked at their symptoms on Google,” explains clinical GP Dr Hana Patel. “Often, when people have symptoms that they are worried about, it’s natural for them to want an answer straight away.” Some websites even offer a symptom checker – you simply answer some questions, and it tells you what…

What are the best anti- ageing eye treatments? Just like your eyes can give away just how many hours kip you got last night, they’re also a billboard for revealing your birth date – even when you want no-one else to know!

Pete Sampras has shared that his wife, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, is battling a serious health crisis. “Last December, my wife, Bridgette, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer,” he wrote in a statement released via the ATP Tour. “Since then, she has had major surgery, pushed through chemotherapy and continues with targeted maintenance therapy.” The retired tennis champion, 52, praised Bridgette’s strength and resilience through what he says has been an “exceptionally challenging time” for his family. “Watching Bridgette continue to be an incredible mum and wife through it all has been inspiring,” he added. “I am humbly asking for good thoughts and prayers as Bridgette continues to thrive on her healing journey.” The couple have been married for 23 years and share two children, Christian, 20, and Ryan, 18.

The Canadian singer, who revealed her diagnosis in 2022, enjoyed a hockey match in Las Vegas with her sons, René-Charles, 22, and 13-yearold twins Eddy and Nelson. Following the match between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadiens, Celine, 55, visited the locker room. She appeared in to be in good spirits as she greeted her hometown team.

Only in New Idea Jilted former primetime presenter Peter Everett admits he didn’t sleep very well after learning that Miguel Maestre had been tapped to host Network 10’s revamped Ready Steady Cook and not him. “I was like a three-yearold child for a couple of days, who constantly asks, ‘Why, why, why?’” Peter, tells New Idea of the snub. Peter took over as host in Ready Steady Cook’s second year, and helped turn the show into a huge hit. He was axed in 2011 after five years with a brutal phone call while on holidays. Peter had long made it known that he would love to take part in a reboot, and says he was, for a time, in discussions. However, he didn’t hear a peep from Network 10 as…

THE MUM OF SIX ON THE TRIALS & TRIUMPHS OF PARENTING Ialways wanted to become a mum. There were other things I wanted to do as well, but nothing was as important as having kids and creating a family with someone special. Both of my parents had such successful careers, achieving so much, but they always said that the most magical part of their lives was having children together. Dad won so many Logies, loved radio, television and theatre, but family to him was what was important in life and family came before everything else. WINNING COMBINATION Now as a mum of six I know that they were absolutely right. Matt and I live for our kids and they’re the centre of our world. Our 15-yearold son, Sam, recently had…

My threeyear-old granddaughterdaughter wasn’t getting as many cuddles as she would like because of her seven-yearenergy.
