Lights, camera, action – in Queensland! Hollywood superstars George Clooney and Julia Roberts have officially taken over the picturesque Whitsundays as they continue filming their upcoming rom-com, Ticket to Paradise. The A-listers were flown into the scenic location via helicopter and have been seen settling into the custom-built movie set on tropical Haslewood Island. Already, the actors have been spotted filming scenes on the stunning sandy beaches while surrounded by film crew. In between takes, production staff have also been shielding the high-profile cast with umbrellas. Julia, 54, and George, 60, have teamed up as co-stars in numerous blockbuster movies over the years, including Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve and Money Monster. In this new flick, the pair play a divorced couple who fly to Bali for their daughter’s upcoming wedding.…

Geena Davis, is that really you? The A League of Their Own star looked almost unrecognisable as she was spotted on a rare public outing in LA recently, sparking confusion among many of her fans. The 65-year-old appeared as though she was trying to go incognito with a scarf wrapped around her head and neck. But her decision to walk through the street barefoot really had many fans scratching their heads. Geena dressed casually for the outing, sporting a pair of loose jeans and a jumper featuring a cat in a Santa hat. But the blue accessory wrapped around her head, as well as her noticeably puffier face, prompted speculation from onlookers that Geena may have gone under the knife. Geena has rarely been seen out in public in several…

At the age of 73, the Prince of Wales has become the longest-serving king in waiting in the world. With the lengthy wait and a tumultuous public life, palace insiders reveal to New Idea that the prince is fast becoming “fed up” by the thought that he may never take the throne due to his advancing years. While his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, remains determined to stay on the throne at 95, Charles “hasn’t enjoyed a lifetime of good health, and is prone to issues related to stress,” tells the insider. So it comes as no surprise, after a year of never-ending problems within his family, that some eyewitnesses reported Charles “looked wobbly on his feet” during a recent trip to Jordan and Egypt, alongside his wife, Camilla, Duchess of…

Channel 7’s rare, exclusive sit-down with Adele in London was supposed to be one of the biggest TV events of 2021. Instead, the planned half-hour interview, organised by Sony, quickly turned into a publicity nightmare after journalist Matt Doran was left red-faced when he allegedly upset the pop icon by not listening to her new album, 30, beforehand. When Sony refused to hand over any of the tapes, Matt had to explain himself to his bosses, breaking the news that he’d be coming home empty-handed – there was no interview. With Channel 7 having spent a rumoured $70,000 on business-class flights and five-star hotels for Matt and his own production team, New Idea can now exclusively reveal the Weekend Sunrise co-host has all but done his dash to replace veteran…

It’s been 20 long months since Russell Hill, 74, and Carol Clay, 73, disappeared on a camping trip, leaving behind a mystery that their families and police have struggled to unravel. But, in an extraordinary breakthrough, officers dramatically arrested a person last week in relation to the case. As New Idea went to press, the Melbourne-based individual had not been charged. Carol’s sister, Jill Clay, told the media that not knowing what happened to her beloved sibling has been incredibly tough, but hopes closure might be in sight with this arrest. “Emotionally, it’s brought up everything during that time – a lot of grief and pain,” Jill said. “We haven’t known how, we haven’t know why, they just vanished. “Now, suddenly, there’s a glimmer and we might get some answers.…

Bella Taylor Smith’s incredible performances and big win on The Voice catapulted her into the spotlight. But as she tells New Idea ahead of her Carols in the Domain debut, it’s been an interesting journey! Still unsure if it’s changed everything or nothing at all, Bella, 24, who competed on Guy Sebastian’s team on the reality juggernaut, reveals one thing is certain – she’s excited to spend her $100,000 prize money. “My first port of call was me paying my bills,” she laughs. “Then a chunk into hopefully buying a house one day, and then a bit for a holiday when travel is safe and possible.” Becoming a household name, Bella admits it’s been a little odd. “It’s all a bit funny and unexpected for me! Everyone I’ve met has…

Is there anything Jana Pittman can’t do? She’s a former Olympic athlete and mother of four (who’s currently expecting twins), an SAS Australia alum and a doctor specialising in women’s health! “Medicine has been a dream of mine since I was a child. I used to carry a little doctor’s bag around and perform imaginary operations on my poor younger brother,” she tells New Idea. Here, the real-life wonder woman shares her journey through medical school and helping others with their health struggles. WHAT FIRST MADE YOU WANT TO GET INTO MEDICINE? Throughout my sporting days, I met many incredible doctors who helped hold our injured, overworked bodies together. Following sport, having (now half a dozen!) of my own children, several miscarriages and a cervical cancer scare, my love for…

READER Q&A Q Where do you see me living in the next three years? Can you see where my love life will head in the next 12 months? – LEIGH A DEAR LEIGH, I see the image of a big question mark about a relationship. I hear the words: “Should I stay or should I go now?” This has been a question that has been on your mind for sometime. I feel very sad when I look at this. It takes a lot for you to give your heart and I feel that there is disappointment of unrequited love. I see that you are very dedicated to your work and I feel that a partner has felt that you are too busy with your career and don’t have enough time…

Winning two awards from its whopping 15 nominations at this year’s Tony Awards, Jagged Little Pill was the hot new Broadway musical that had everyone raving – and it’s now headed to Australia. Inspired by the rock album of the same name by Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill centres around the Healy family, a seemingly perfect suburban family who struggle to hide the cracks beneath the surface after an event shakes their community. As a self-professed fan of Alanis’ music, Natalie Bassingthwaighte is thrilled to be taking on the starring role as matriarch, Mary Jane Healy. “The script was brilliant, the music was brilliant and I thought, ‘I just have to tell this story,’” Nat tells New Idea, who says you don’t have to be a fan of Alanis…

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin might be having kids sooner rather than later, according to the star’s father, Miami Vice actor Don Johnson. In a recent interview, Don talked about the future of Dakota’s relationship with the Coldplay rocker. “Listen, if she’s happy, I will be happy, and he’s a lovely guy,” he said. “And if she decides to get married, I would imagine that there would be grandchildren not too far after that. I would be pretty excited about that part.” Dakota and Chris started dating back in 2017, but have largely kept their romance out of the spotlight. It’s rumoured that they are secretly engaged.…

7th Heaven was the heartwarming series that followed the wholesome Reverend Eric Camden, a Protestant minister living in the fictional town of Glen Oak, California. Along with his wife, Annie, and their seven kids – all named after biblical figures – the program became a huge success due its genuine depiction of everyday family issues. But despite the saintly nature of the show, controversy, scandals and off-screen tragedy have rocked the series and derailed a reunion. CATHERINE HICKS REFUSING A REUNION Despite 7th Heaven’s milestone 25th anniversary, actress Catherine Hicks – who played loveable Camden matriarch, Annie – refuses to work with her former on-screen husband, Stephen Collins, ever again. It’s understandable, given Collins admitted to inappropriate touching and exposing himself to young girls. Catherine told TMZ she would only…

Hugh Sheridan has called off his wedding to partner, Kurt Roberts. After getting engaged in March following a whirlwind romance, Hugh, 36, confirmed the breakup on Instagram, saying: “In retrospect, having a first public relationship, that public, that fast, might’ve been too much pressure on us.” Kurt, a 30-year-old model and banker, also took to Instagram to give his take on the split. “We put in our all, we tried everything we could, we’re both broken that we weren’t able to fix what we had,” he wrote.…

Nine years after they called time on their relationship, Fifi Box and Grant Kenny, who share 8-year-old daughter Trixie, are planning a happy family reunion! As Fifi, who’s also mum to 2-year-old Daisy, stepped out in Melbourne last week, sources told New Idea that the popular radio host has been invited to spend some of the upcoming holiday period with Grant at his home on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. “Grant knows Trixie has got to an age where she needs to know her dad is very much hands-on and present in her life,” explains a close source. Grant lives in a luxury waterfront home which the source says is “like a child’s dream playground. Trixie and Daisy would love it there.” Grant has always enjoyed celebrating Christmas, and wants to put…

A new documentary about Princes William and Harry’s ongoing feud, which has been dismissed by the royal family, has made new claims about just how competitive the royal households are when it comes to press coverage. Within the two-part series, The Princes and the Press, Sky News reporter Rhiannon Mills revealed that when she interviews Prince Charles, he “sidesteps” questions about what his sons might be working on, instead preferring to focus on his own endeavours. It also mentioned that in 2017, Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle’s rock star-like popularity eclipsed his older brother, who was slammed in the media at the time as “work-shy”. “They might be family, but there’s a lot of jealousy there,” tells a source, who says the embattled brothers felt the pressure to be…

Prince Harry’s former girlfriend, Florence St George, has said that she “feels lucky” that her relationship with the royal didn’t work out. The model-turned-potter dated Harry back in 2011, but has admitted to Stella via Daily Mail that she struggled with the media attention that comes with dating a member of the royal family. “Although it was sad at the time, I feel lucky that the relationship was short lived,” she said. “A new story would appear almost every day in the press … I take my hat off to those people who can cope with that lifestyle, but I knew I couldn’t.”…

Breakfast television, films, newspapers and even a musical, Schapelle Corby’s life – not to mention the circumstances that made her a household name – has been extensively documented. Yet as New Idea recently discovered, there’s still more of the headline maker to unveil. In 2017, Schapelle, who was convicted of smuggling cannabis into Indonesia in 2005, was ordered to leave Bali and was deported home to Australia. It was from here she took a new path. As she readjusted to ‘normal’ life, Schapelle decided to seek out an extensive piece of body art. Having always had an artistic passion, she wanted to express the emotions she’d been forced to suppress while in prison. “I’d never considered getting a huge back-piece tattoo. Not once [did] it cross my mind,” Schapelle, 44,…

Best known for his role as the loveable Adam Cameron on Home and Away, Mat Stevenson put his successful acting career on the backburner to focus on raising his family. Now, the actor is back in the spotlight – and it’s all thanks to his daughter, Grace Hyland, who recently opened up about her transgender journey. In a joint interview with New Idea, Mat reveals he has been blown away by the courage Grace, 20, has showed by sharing her story and says his daughter’s bravery has inspired him to chase his acting dream once again. ‘GRACE HAS TAUGHT ME TO RECONNECT WITH MY AMBITIONS AGAIN’ “Since I was 5, I always wanted to be an actor,” says Mat, who also has a second daughter, Madison. “I parked those ambitions…

GET INTO THE FAMILY SPIRIT For many Aussies who have been in and out of lockdown, Christmas may be the first time in a while they are able to gather with their extended family. Why not make it a beautiful trip down memory lane by creating a temporary photo gallery of family pictures from over the years? Not only will it be fun to curate, going over the memories with family members will get the conversation (and laughs) flowing. DETER THE EYE If you’ve been putting off hosting a party because you’re waiting on a renovation to finish or there’s a design feature in your home you think looks a little dated, there’s an easy solution. All you need to do is style it up by deterring the eye. How?…

One of the most important indicators for good mental health is a strong bond between parent and child. Humans are pack animals; we have lived in tribes for millennia. We are wired to bond with each other – it is how we survive as a species. The primary bond is that of child and parent, and parent and child. But how can you make that bond as rewarding as possible for both of you, and one that is most likely to create health and happiness? IMPROVE YOUR DIALOGUE Think about how you listen and observe when you are listening well – to your baby, to another child or to an adult. You will realise that what happens is you notice the movements, tone, gestures and expressions of the speaker, you…

Christmas is meant to be the happiest time of the year, but for many it can mean feeling overwhelmed and exhausted as socialising, shopping and increased family time take their toll. Follow this guide to sail through common stressful situations with ease. AT THE SHOPS “Stress happens when you’re feeling overwhelmed by what’s going on around you – and Christmas shopping can be one of those times,” explains psychologist Chris Cunningham, who runs The Stress Coach counselling service. Feeling more in control at the shops starts before you leave home. “Set a budget, then make a list of gifts you’ll buy – and stick to it,” Chris advises. His suggestion is to only buy gifts for under-18s and the most senior family members. It also helps to shop early in…

Reigning Wimbledon champ, Ash Barty, has capped off a sensational professional year with some happy personal news – she’s engaged to her partner, Garry Kissick! The 25-year-old announced the news on Instagram by sharing a loved-up photo with her sparkly new ring. “Future husband,” she captioned the pic. Garry shared the same image on his account, along with the date “15/11/2021”, suggesting he popped the question in mid-November. Ash and Garry, 29, have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, save for the odd social media post.…

After spending her early 20s living in Perth, Tiger Lily Hutchence has decided to return to the UK with her fiancé, musician Nicholas Allbrook. The pair are living near Brighton and commuting to London, where Tiger, now 25, was raised by her late mum Paula Yates’ ex, Sir Bob Geldof. “As much as she enjoyed Perth, Tiger is thrilled to be home with her family. She loves Bob and has missed him terribly,” says a source.…

They seem like the picture-perfect couple, but Mike Tindall recently opened up about his marriage struggles with Zara. “A marriage or long-term relationship can’t always be roses and rainbows,” he revealed on British TV program, Loose Men. The former rugby player, 43, added that having children will certainly “test” a couple. “That is a massive shock, change to your system that you’ve never experienced and there is going to be those rocky roads … The thing is, no-one is right, no-one is wrong. You have to work through it together.”…

Pink’s 15-year marriage to Carey Hart has sadly hit a bump in the road, following a tumultuous 18 months. Between harsh lockdowns, two COVID diagnoses, a spine operation and cancelled tours, friends of the singer fear the “writing is on the wall” for the couple’s near two-decade union. Further fuelling the chatter between friends that all is not well, is Carey, a former professional motocross competitor, who recently put another of his most precious motorbikes up for sale on Facebook. In September, the 46-year-old underwent lower spine disc replacement surgery. While Carey publicly praised his “amazing” wife for nursing him back to health, insiders say it’s been “anything but pretty” behind the scenes. “Carey and Pink are arguing over everything, from healthcare to the kids and work, even the possibility…

Freddie Mercury famously sang about “finding somebody to love” during his trailblazing all-too-brief time on this planet. However, 30 years after the Queen frontman’s tragic death, the unusual circumstances of his will tells a different story – of a forbidden love he was forced to turn his back on. “To this day, there’s only one person who knows where Freddie is buried and she was, is and always will be his soulmate,” tells an insider. They are, of course, talking about Mary Austin, the woman Freddie nearly married before they split in 1976. He left most of his fortune to Mary, including his 28-room London mansion, following his death on November 24, 1991. Freddie’s remaining relatives – including sister Kashmira Bulsara and her children, Sam and Natalie – have moved…

The disappearance of Colleen Walker-Craig has haunted her brother, Lucas, and their family for the past 32 years. “I was 8 when our nightmare began,” Lucas tells New Idea exclusively. “It was September 1990 and Colleen had gone to a party in Bowraville. Our aunties were all there, and our grandmother. “Mum and Dad were happy with her going. She always called to say when she’d be home, but the next afternoon we still hadn’t heard from her. Mum was very worried and went to the police.” That’s when things got very dark for the family. It was suggested 16-year-old Colleen had ‘gone walkabout’. “Nobody went looking for her. The police didn’t even take a statement,” says Lucas. Understandably devastated, Colleen’s mum, Muriel, and dad, Michael, relocated from Sawtell, NSW…

Charlize Theron is about to begin filming the sequel to her 2020 action film, The Old Guard, alongside handsome Belgian actor, Matthias Schoenaerts, and sources say the duo are “closer than ever this time around”. Matthias and Charlize “always got on well”, but at the time of filming the mum-of-two was fresh out of a relationship with Sean Penn and was taking a break from men. These days, however, Charlize’s in a totally different place and is a little starry-eyed for Matthias. “Charlize is mingling a lot more with the team. She and Matt have become inseparable because he’s the only one who can make her laugh – and that’s something of a miracle after her relationship with Sean!”…

Hollywood is abuzz after Britney Spears’ epic take-down of Christina Aguilera on Instagram! Britney recently posted a video of Christina refusing to comment on her release from her conservatorship – with the ‘Oops!... I Did It Again’ singer criticising her for not speaking out against the 13-year hold her management team had over her fi nances and personal life. “I love and adore everyone who supported me … but refusing to speak when you know the truth is equivalent to a lie!!!! 13 years being in a corrupt, abusive system, yet why is it such a hard topic for people to talk about??” sneered Britney over the video, adding, “All the supporters who spoke up and supported me, thank you.” Britney starred opposite Christina as kids during their days on…
