It was the moment Angelina Jolie has been dreading since she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in 2016 – the courts confirming her ex is one step closer to getting full custody of their six children. And in a move that will likely send Angelina over the edge, if Brad presses for and did gain custody, and rekindled any relationship with Jennifer Aniston, it could include them bringing up his children together – full-time. But perhaps more shockingly, New Idea has learned that the couple’s daughter Shiloh’s diary may have influenced the latest twist in the ongoing divorce drama. The 12-year-old has been keeping a private diary, which records all of Angelina’s family secrets. ‘Shiloh started keeping a diary of everything that is going on with Ange since the…

Brave Joy discovered the boy clinging to life after dropping his mother Thatsanee, a nurse, off at work.

And for Sophie Dillman and Jackson Heywood, who play the madly-in-love bride and groom, filming the wedding in a gorgeous location near Sydney was simply unforgettable. Not least, they reveal, because temperatures soared to 40 degrees on the day! ‘Poor Sophie had to be outside in the wedding dress the whole day,’ says Jackson, 29. ‘But she looked stunning.’ ‘I felt sorry for all the boys in tuxedos,’ adds 25-year-old Sophie. ‘At least I had people fanning me! And the setting was incredible. Everyone looked beautiful.’ Sophie, who in real life is happily in a relationship with her rugby coach partner of five years Ben, admits…

‘YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF AND ASK: WAS IT OUR FAULT? WAS IT SOMETHING WE DID? I LIKE TO THINK THAT IT HAPPENED FOR A REASON, PERHAPS SOMETHING WASN’T RIGHT, OTHERWISE IT COULD EAT YOU UP FROM INSIDE.’ Mike Tindall, husband of Zara, father of one. Have a look at your family’s weekly timetable. Does it resemble anything like this? Monday: swimming. Tuesday: band practice. Wednesday: soccer practice, then tutoring. Thursday: scouts. Friday: sleepover. Saturday: soccer game and band rehearsal. If so, you could be one of the families who are under strain because life revolves around too many extracurricular activities.

MISSING PERSON I snapped a selfie with a spectacular sunset behind me, then showed my niece, Miss 12, the photo. ‘What do you think of my selfie?’ I asked her. ‘It would look better if you weren’t in it,’ she replied.

Q Just needing some advice on strained family relationships. Do you feel people contact and reply to people they want to talk with? I ask because my brother treats me like I don’t exist. He lives 20 minutes away and there’s no relationship. We had our differences in the past. I tried sending him a card, assuming he received it, but there was no acknowledgement. Would you try sending another card or is there absolutely no point? I haven’t seen my brother for 12 months. He no longer sends me a Christmas or birthday card. It can be difficult to work out why someone stops contact. LUCY, VIA EMAIL. A Sometimes we need to let go. I would put your brother in the too-hard basket. Despite your best efforts there…

‘I WAS QUITE FREE, HAD NO COMPLICATIONS... MICHAEL WAS SEPARATED FROM HIS WIFE’ Superstar Kathleen Turner still vividly remembers how she and Hollywood heart-throb Michael Douglas almost had a sizzling love affair, while making a movie together. ‘I was quite free, had no complications, and my understanding was, Michael was separated from his wife,’ Kathleen says of their intense chemistry back in the ’80s, when she and Douglas were making hit film, Romancing The Stone. ‘He was separated from her. But suddenly the wife, Diandra, decided to come down to the set to visit him,’ she sighs ruefully. ‘So hmm, it looked to me like they were not separated after all! And that was that. It changed everything. It was too messy! I backed off.’ But had Michael already put…

SEAS THE DAY And the bratty popstar award for bad behaviour goes to... Lily Allen! The singer admitted she ‘demanded to have a miniature beach built outside my dressing room’. Presumably she wasn’t forced to sing between the flags. JUDD-GEMENT DAY Two things we learnt about Bec Judd last week, after the radio host admitted that she went clubbing and ‘power chucked in the kitchen sink when I got home’. 1) Bec parties hard, 2) she chucks even harder!

When the Duchess of Sussex and Her Majesty stepped out on their first ever royal trip together in Chester over the weekend, it was clear they were showing the world a united front, and their strong bond is evident. As the power couple travelled for an away day to open a theatre, unveil a bridge and attend a lunch, they sent a message out to the public that this was one of many trips the pair will undertake, in a bid to show solidarity between them. ‘There was a huge amount of excitement and anticipation about the Queen’s first joint trip with Meghan within the palace,’ a source told New Idea. ‘No-one can believe that the Queen has taken this unprecedented step of doing a night away with Meghan without…

I was vomiting in the taxi on the way to the airport.’ Carpenter Leigh, 36, adds: ‘Mentally, you don’t understand how…

‘I HAD TO RELEARN EVERYTHING,’ SAYS BRAVE JASMINE When she first came to, everything felt odd and strangely fuzzy for Jasmine West. The last thing she could remember clearly was fainting at work and then crawling into bed once she got home.

But the horror didn’t end there. Jasmine realised she couldn’t move. She tried to call for help, but found she couldn’t talk either. The only thing she could do was blink. ‘It was torture.

If it seems like your child has a limited vocabulary, here are five ways you can expand their language: • Create a word of the day. Describe what it means and get the whole family to use it in conversation. • Talk. The more you chat, the more words they’ll take in. • Read together – even when they can read themselves. Extending them with more difficult books will also increase their vocabulary. • Play word games, such as Scrabble and Boggle. • Encourage them to write – about anything they want. And don’t mark it. Just let them enjoy the process.…

NOT FIT TO USE Like many of us who bought exercise equipment, my purchases remain unused. My folly become apparent when MM son was giving a tour of the house to his friend. ‘There’s Mum’s exercise bike, he said very seriously, ‘Nobody’s allowed to touch it, not even Mum herself.’ Awww! C.

I went to the bathroom to have a look at the patch and realised he had…

The 48-year-old posted a picture of Liz, referring to her as a ‘close and very dear friend’, alongside a big red heart and pair of lips – suggesting the tribute was a little more than just friendly. Shane was engaged to Liz for three years before they split in 2013, and has said that when they first met, ‘they hit it off straight away. Fell in love, got engaged’. He later admitted that he broke up with the 53-year-old model because he is a ‘knockabout Aussie’ and she’s an ‘English Rose’. They have remained friends ever since, with neither of them finding a suitable partner to…

WHO DAVID CAMPBELL Wow, shorts don’t get much shorter than the ones Channel Nine’s David Campbell wore back when he was nine... while practising the art of keeping walls from falling down. WHO THE ROCK ‘Mama has her hands full, so I’m feedin’ Mama her dinner. My pleasure.’ Hmm, probably not what Lauren Hashian had in mind when she thought about long-term boyfriend The Rock getting down on one knee.

The day after celebrating the Queen’s 92nd birthday at the Trooping of the Colour parade, the Duchess of Cambridge and her brood were spotted in Gloucester to cheer on Prince William at a polo match.

Tessa Ratajczyk will never forget the look of hate in her ex-boyfriend’s eyes as he flicked the cigarette lighter. Seconds earlier, her vengeful ex Chris Rollins had poured a can of brake cleaner over Tessa’s body. The flame set her alight – and Chris stood there and watched her burn...
