Julie made her first TV appearance following the Jacketgate saga wearing a royal blue top – and a brand new hairstyle! Industry insiders say that producers were keen to give her a new look – with beachy curls replacing her straight locks – in an effort to distance her from the viral video. It’s another sign that Channel Nine bosses are keen to invest in Julie. ‘Julie has been a favourite at the station for a while, with some pegging her for big things in the future,’ an insider told The Daily Telegraph. ‘She is definitely one to watch and this has put her face out there.’…

‘This is William’s worst nightmare, having grown up with his mum suffering from an eating disorder’ Smiling brightly as she waved to the crowd during a recent public appearance, the Duchess of Cambridge was, as usual, poised to perfection. However, her dazzling smile and elegant appearance masked a private pain that has left those closest to Kate, including her husband Prince William and brother-in-law Prince Harry, seriously concerned. Shock eating disorder claims emerged after the US National Enquirer reported that the puzzling bandage on the royal’s left hand during a recent visit to a support centre for abused and traumatised women in Gloucester, UK, was the result of a secret battle with bulimia. Furthermore, the publication manipulated its imagery of Kate by replacing her head with one from a different…

What’s going on? That’s the question for Today host Karl Stefanovic and PR queen Roxy Jacenko, as the two have been spotted catching up. In late 2016, while both Sydneysiders were visiting Melbourne, the two met after Roxy, 36, attended a media event at Crown, where Karl was staying at the time. During the Women In Media lunch where Roxy was a guest, eyebrows were raised when the savvy blonde – whose husband Oliver Curtis is currently behind bars – was caught texting Karl, 42. ‘We couldn’t believe that Roxy was texting Karl, no-one knew they were that close,’ an insider reveals. Roxy invited Karl to join her and some close friends for a drink once the lunch wrapped. Karl took Roxy up on the offer…

‘Vince is volatile and has come to believe his own publicity that he’s a legendary hell-raiser’ When police swooped on Underbelly star Vince Colosimo and arrested him for drug possession, it could have been one of his many gangster scenes. But this was real life and the AFI Award-winner – whose tempestuous private life has so often hit the headlines – is due to appear in court next month. Police allege the 50-year-old film and television actor was allegedly found with a small amount of methamphetamine in Melbourne’s northern suburbs last September. Although his lawyers, from Tony Hargreaves and Partners, refused to comment, Vince himself told The Daily Telegraph the ordeal has served as a ‘wake-up call’. He explained: ‘I have two beautiful children, whom I…

If there’s one thing Zoe Bingley-Pullin is passionate about, it’s food. From child-friendly dishes for fussy eaters to healthy twists on indulgences, the trained nutritionist and television chef ’s enthusiasm for produce and recipes is palpable. Her new book, Falling in Love With Food, is a celebration of everything she has learnt along the way. But like all of us, she has a hectic schedule, and sometimes has to eat on the run. ‘I’m a busy mum who knows that the work-life balance doesn’t exist,’ says the vibrant mother of Emily, two. ‘If I am grabbing something on the run, I will grab the best quality produce I can, I will go to a corner store [instead of a fast food chain] and get a hamburger for the quality –…

Parents of adolescents often say they feel they’re not needed anymore... except for food, money and lifts wherever they want to go! But increasingly, research shows that teenagers want their parents around, even if they don’t really acknowledge them. According to American psychologist Lisa Damour, many teenagers wished their parents were around more, even if they seem self-sufficient. But she acknowledges it’s not always easy to connect. ‘By their nature, adolescents aren’t always on board with our plans for making the most of family time, and aren’t always in the mood to chat,’ she says. Her suggestion for how to best parent a teenager is to ‘sometimes take the form of blending into the background like a potted plant’. She points out that one of her friends quietly folds laundry…

HORRIBLE BOSS Q I work in a job that pays very well, but I work with a bully who is now my boss. She goes through stages of treating me horribly and giving me the silent treatment, then decides we’re friends, then goes back to the horrible treatment again. She drinks at work and also does drugs, but has an engaging personality to get what she wants from people. How do I fix this situation? Karen, via email. A The drugs and alcohol may account for your boss’ unpredictability. You cannot work under such stressful circumstances. Perhaps the only way to fix the situation is to confront her – but before you do, make sure you have proof she is drinking and taking drugs during working hours. You will…

Once regular fixtures in each other’s lives, a chance meeting has sparked serious chemistry between Brad Pitt and Courteney Cox, paving the way for the duo to take their relationship to a new romantic level. Welcomed back into the Hollywood fold following his split from Angelina Jolie, Brad recently attended the ROCK4EB! charity event in Malibu, where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Sting, Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum and Zach Galifianakis. But according to fellow partygoers, it was old pal Courteney who took most of Brad’s attention. ‘Brad and Courteney greeted each other like old lovers,’ an insider tells New Idea. ‘Sparks were flying big time. There’s so much history and affection between those two – they’ve been through a lot together.’ The duo have a long and complicated…

This isn’t the first time the royal family have been rocked by an eating disorder scandal. Princess Diana famously went public with her struggle with bulimia, and campaigned for greater awareness of the disease during her lifetime. The late Diana revealed that the pressures of palace life and her crumbling marriage to Charles were the triggering factor for her illness. On the subject of their honeymoon, she revealed, years later: ‘[Charles] put his hand on my waistline and said: “Oh, bit chubby here aren’t we?” That triggered something off in me.’…

The trouble continues for Channel Nine, with veteran entertainment reporter Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins storming off the Today set when host Sylvia Jeffreys made fun of his hair. The 62-year-old walked out after Sylvia likened his bouffant hairstyle to a stegosaurus, resulting in a fuming Dickie leaving the set for over an hour. The explosive showdown took place after the show aired a video of a child screaming at a toy T-Rex that wasn’t visible on camera. ‘Maybe it’s Dickie’s hair!’ Sylvia said after the clip ended. ‘Oh Sylvia,’ Dickie spat back, obviously unimpressed that his hairdo – which has its own Twitter account – was being ridiculed. But Sylvia continued with the jokes, stating: ‘Well it is the T-Rex – oh no... the stegosaurus.’ Co-host Tim Gilbert then asked Sylvia:…

Dr Rosenberg says that no one solution is right for all patients struggling with insomnia. ‘A sleep doctor can evaluate your needs to determine the best treatment plan,’ he advises. He notes that behavioural solutions such as cognitive behavioural therapies can help focus on managing stress and anxiety (which may be causing insomnia) in positive ways. Dr Rosenberg says it is important to teach your body to calm down by eliciting the relaxation response, either by practising it during the day or before bedtime. There are many ways to elicit this calming response, including progressive muscle relaxation, meditation and abdominal breathing – which is the opposite of the stress response that many experience in the bedroom. If you practise, many studies have shown your sleep will improve. He also recommends…

CHILDREN’S WORLD WHERE IS HE? My grandson and I were visiting the cemetery and went to see his grandfather’s grave. I explained to him that his grandfather’s body was in the grave, but that his spirit was now in heaven.

VOWS THAT WOW I can’t wait to see Married At First Sight! The characters look interesting and I’m sure we’ll be glued to our TV screens watching all the nerves and cringeworthy moments, coupled with what we hope will be matches made in heaven. Thanks NI for keeping us in the loop! Christina Hatzis, Yokine, WA. TIME TO SHINE The best thing that Tom Cruise ever did was dump Nicole Kidman. She has gone from strength to strength in her acting career and her latest film, Lion, is no exception. She is a good mother to her children and has been happily married to Keith Urban for 10 years. Once the constraints of being married to Tom were removed, Nicole blossomed in her own right. I love reading of her…

secret illness She shot to fame in hits such as Romancing The Stone and Serial Mom, but much-loved actress Kathleen Turner has been out of sight for a while now. The 62-year-old star – known for her husky voice and captivating screen presence – made an appearance at the opening night of Worlds Apart in New York City last week, and is reportedly set to return to the big screen in comedy Someone Else’s Wedding. In 2014, Kathleen spoke of the ravaging effects of rheumatoid arthritis – the inflammatory condition she has suffered since the ’90s – declaring: ‘I don’t look like I did 30 years ago.

As Julie’s star continues to rise – with one commentator saying: ‘This could absolutely be a positive for her career’ – it seems her professional life isn’t the only thing going from strength to strength. The 29-year-old reporter from Broken Hill, NSW, has been spotted getting cosy with actor Hugo Johnstone-Burt – who starred in The Wrong Girl and had a guest role on Home and Away – as they shared an intimate lunch date at a Sydney park. ‘They certainly seemed smitten,’ said one onlooker.…

After his joint statement with Angelina – in which both stars agreed to keep all documents relating to their bitter custody battle private – it appears Brad is finally coming out on top. Ange is said to be furious that she has been forced to hand the kids over to Brad more frequently, according to reports in Life & Style. ‘Up until now, Angelina has played games by suddenly cancelling visits and making it difficult for him to see them,’ the magazine’s source says. ‘But Brad is going to get his visitation much more regularly now.’ The Department of Children and Family Services and the FBI have also cleared Brad of child abuse accusations made by Ange. And now therapists, who have treated Brad and the kids, are drawing up…

Boasting tanned skin, false nails and a glamorous outfit, Hallie Mai looks ready to paint the town red. But at just three years old, she won’t be hitting a club just yet – Hallie is a child pageant star. Her doting mum Sami Bushell, 28, from Doncaster in the UK, spares no expense when it comes to making her daughter look like a princess. She spends more than $9000 a year on glamorous, often bejewelled outfits in a bid to make Hallie a star. Single mum Sami, a beautician who also spoils son Harry, six, says: ‘Everything she wears is very skimpy and over-the-top. ‘It’s very blingy and glitzy, but pageants are a controlled environment. It’s not like anyone can just walk in and sit and watch. It’s all innocent…

‘We’re a bit ashamed about what we did to ourselves, but we’re owning it’ Aussie twins Anna and Lucy DeCinque admit that they’ve spent a small fortune on changing their appearance – with their over-the-top make-up, huge breast implants and outrageously plumped lips helping to make them notorious around the world. But it’s time for a change – and what a difference! After a sobering diagnosis of body dysmorphia and a growing dissatisfaction with their daring style, they are now in the process of going back to a more natural and healthy look. But the day of our shoot begins with their usual worries. Turning her sister around slowly, Anna inspects her naked twin’s back. ‘Oi, you’ve got a freckle starting there. You’d better do something about it,’ she says…

He’s one of Australia’s favourite TV stars, but actor James Stewart has made no secret of his proudest role in life – that of doting dad to daughter Scout. The 41-year-old recently spent a day in the sun with the gorgeous four-year-old – his daughter with ex-fiancee Jessica Marais, who turns 32 next week – at a local Gold Coast pool. ‘They had the time of their lives,’ says an onlooker. ‘There was lots of giggling and fun in the water. James is a great father, and Scout was clearly having an amazing day out with her daddy.’ The father-daughter date comes just weeks after the actor posted a happy family snap of himself with Scout and Jessica to Instagram on Christmas Day. ‘When you have a child, your perspective…

AMY AND , TYSON : 'WHY WE LL WIN' These serious siblings are angry and ambitious! Brisbanites Amy, 29, and Tyson, 26, are taking no prisoners when it comes to the competition – and it’s not hard to guess who calls the shots. ‘I’ve kind of always bossed everyone around as the only girl in the family,’ Amy admits. While his older sister may be in charge, Uber driver Tyson isn’t backwards in coming forwards. ‘I don’t think being outspoken is a bad trait,’ he says. ‘We’re very straightforward and honest and our sense of humour is very dry so some people might not understand that straight off.’ With a passion for interesting ingredients, flavours and texture combinations, there’s no doubt the brother and sister aren’t your regular MKR team.…

Not all Nurofen is the same. Choose Nurofen Zavance tablets and caplets, it’s absorbed up to 2x faster than standard Nurofen * Not all pain is the same. And the way we experience pain can vary, depending on the cause. Acute pain such as headache or period pain is different to chronic pain which can last for weeks, even years.

FEEL THE BURN MM is a stickler for sun safety. After putting on sunscreen, he went out to do some yard work. But when I checked on him a few hours later, I was horrified to see he was burnt. When I asked why he hadn’t reapplied sunscreen after two hours, he said he’d used SPF 50 combined with SPF 30 so he wouldn’t need to reapply, as he was covered by SPF 80. I had to explain that’s not how sunscreen works! C. Brauer, Tenterfield, NSW.
