NIGHTMARE BEHIND BARS New Idea exclusive Nicole’s passion project Nicole Kidman will star as Schapelle Corby if her bombshell plan to produce a film about the convicted drug smuggler comes off. The actress has approached key Hollywood bosses with a secret deal to film a blockbuster about Schapelle’s explosive case in 2018, convinced the movie will land her another coveted Oscar. It’s believed the 50-year-old star has always been fascinated with Schapelle, and is hoping that film execs will bring the Bali prisoner’s story to the big screen. ‘Nicole sees this as Bangkok Hilton 2.0,’ says a source close to the A-lister. ‘That was the TV miniseries that made Nicole a star all those years ago, and she can’t help but see the parallels in Schapelle’s case and her character’s…

When it comes to siblings, they don’t come much closer than these two! As identical twins, WA boys Andrew and Jono have been inseparable since birth, forming a deep bond that’s made them a surprisingly strong force in the House Rules competition – despite their lack of renovation experience. Over the years, Andrew and Jono have ridden the highs and lows together, including helping each other through their parents’ divorce as kids. ‘We were eight when our parents split,’ Jono tells New Idea. ‘We were always close [as a family].’ Fortunately for the lads, now 28, their parents’ separation was reasonably smooth, largely thanks to this tight family bond. ‘[Mum and Dad] were really good about it,’ Andrew says. ‘It did mean moving to a different school, and originally after…

Everything is about to change for Rebecca Maddern. After 18 months in the hot seat on the new-look AFL Footy Show, the veteran presenter is about to be beamed into homes around the nation on prime time TV as co-host of Australian Ninja Warrior... just weeks before her 40th birthday. The blonde beauty admits to New Idea she’s glad to have her hands full with the debut of Channel Nine’s new show, as it gives her an excuse to bypass celebrating the day on August 6. ‘My husband Trent [Miller] celebrated his 40th a couple of weeks ago, so the focus has just been on him,’ she explains. ‘We had a party for him, so I’m happy to say that’s my party as well. I’d rather the spotlight be on…

The world is one big classroom for toddlers. ‘They love to master new concepts, so it’s the perfect time to lay the foundations for future skills,’ says child development expert Dr Erin Seaton. Here’s how to get started... PLAY MAKE A SHAPE BOOK Many kids’ books teach about shapes, but you can go one better by helping your toddler make his own. Draw shapes on paper, then flip through magazines together and cut out items that match each one, says education professor Sherril English. Then go for a walk around your neighbourhood to look for other objects with distinctive shapes. Snap photos of the things your child points out, then print and paste the pictures in the book, labelling the shapes. Put multiple examples on a page to show that…

Q My darling husband passed away three years ago and I miss him terribly. I speak to him all the time and ask him to visit me in my dreams, but on the rare occasions that he does, it seems he is only trying to get away from me in them.

ROYALLY EXCITED Princess Mary and Duchess Kate are such beautiful royals, and I enjoy reading about their lives. They always appear charming and I am sure do have lots in common. It would be wonderful if they did have another baby, each at the same time! V. Mavros, Sale, Vic. A TRAGIC LIFE I cried when I read Diana’s Private Pain Exposed (NI Jun 26). She was a lovely young woman thinking she had the world at her feet, but really she was a sacrificial lamb. Charles was in love with Camilla and his marriage to Diana was merely to appease the Crown. Her death was a sad ending to a sad life. Salt Ash, NSW. LETTER OF THE WEEK WINS $100…

She sang her way into our hearts as softly spoken Scarlett on Nashville, the role that put Australian actress Clare Bowen’s name on the map. Surprisingly, Clare’s life leading up to landing the role of Scarlett could easily be mistaken for a script straight out of the popular drama series. When she was four-years-old, Clare was diagnosed with cancer. ‘I was given two weeks to live.’ Miraculously, she made it through and went into remission at age seven. Then, in an unbelievable turn of events, her younger brother Timothy was also diagnosed with cancer, in late 2015. Clare, 33, speaks candidly to New Idea about her brother, missing Australia and her Australian tour this month. It’s incredible to hear your brother Timothy is now in remission. How has the past…

Hailing from different sides of the track, Harry, 32, confesses that he’s really struggled with jealousy when it comes to Kate, 28. ‘I’m from the tough side of town,’ the chippie tells New Idea. ‘I was brought up with not much money and just worked hard, so to move where we are now is massive. ‘We’ve worked our way up and I’ve worked really hard to get where we are. ‘On the flipside, Kate’s…

BFFS NO MORE LAST SPOTTED JAN 2015 SEPARATE LIVES Once the best of friends, Jennifer was left out of the picture when former co-stars Courteney and Lisa caught up at The Palm Restaurant in Beverley Hills last week. She’s known for having some of the longest and most enduring A-list friendships in Hollywood. But now, after a string of shock blowups and secret feuds with her famous pals, Jennifer Aniston has found herself all alone. It’s been confirmed that Jen’s best friend Chelsea Handler is the latest high-profile gal pal to part ways with the former Friends star.

Q I dreamt my friend, who I hadn’t seen for ages, announced he and partner were moving to England after securing a successful work contract. I was heartbroken about his forthcoming absence. I haven’t been able to contact him, but I heard he was very sick. That was my last dream. What does it mean? Esther, via email. A Dreams fall into specific categories, such as problemsolving, emotional resolution and, of course, prophetic. Many ‘deja vu’ moments are actually recollections of prophetic dreams. If your friend is indeed very unwell you may be picking up on his inevitable passing. On the other hand, your subconscious mind may be reminding you that it is time to ‘move on’ with your own life. Letting go of a loved one and letting go…

PHOTO OF THE WEEK WINS $100! AGE RULES I was attending my greatgrandson Tallan’s fourth birthday party and gave him a card with Spider-Man stickers on it.

The great-grandmother, who lives at Seasons Waterford West aged care facility, tells New Idea: ‘We are all old people here, and I thought it might brighten the place up!’ Staff at the Queensland retirement home certainly didn’t disappoint. ‘I had a wonderful party. They gave me some lovely roses, and we had sandwiches and cakes. ‘They pushed in this great big box – it looked like a Dr Who phone box – and they got me to sit out in the middle of the floor. ‘Suddenly the top broke open and a figure started to emerge. He was naked up to the waist. He sort of leapt out and gyrated about a…

But how do you know when to expect their teeth to come through? Here, Dr Daniel Golshevsky – paediatrician at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital – answers the most common teething questions... Do n’t forget to clean mi lk teeth twice a day! Q. When does teething begin?

Make the most of your outdoor living space in the cooler months with these tips from House Rules judge and architect Drew Heath.

LETTER OF THE WEEK WINS $100! TIME OUT! Shortly before we were due to leave the house, my MM called out: ‘Can you check the time?’ When he reappeared, I said: ‘It’s half past 10,’ and off we went. Some time later in the supermarket aisle, we had a big fight because MM said I was supposed to have checked whether we had any thyme – and apparently I didn’t! N. Freeman, Bayswater, WA. MIRACLE CREAM Over the years, MM has put coconut oil on his face, and at 81, he has few wrinkles. Seeing wrinkles on my 73-year-old face, I asked him for the coconut oil.

DRIVEN MAD Q My brother’s car broke down so I let him borrow my car for a few weeks. When he returned it there was rubbish all over the place, and it reeked of cigarette smoke (I’m a non-smoker and had asked him to please smoke outside). I’m furious because I always look after my car and feel he’s been disrespectful. I’ve asked him to pay for it to be professionally cleaned and detailed, but he’s refusing. Tiffany, Campbelltown, NSW. In your case, blood is not thicker than water. Your brother is an ungrateful grub. You were kind enough to lend him your car and he had the cheek to return it filled with rubbish and smelling of cigarette smoke. He was not being disrespectful, just downright rude. Give him…

Lip slip ‘My lip balm... is actually a nipple cream for breastfeeding mothers,’ Margot Robbie admitted last week. The actress obviously keeps abreast of the latest beauty trends, although she might be in danger of looking like a bit of a tit with this one. Boiling point We loved hearing that Jamie Oliver (right, with son River) struggles with family mealtimes as much as we do, saying: ‘Cooking for kids is utter psychological warfare.’ You know what they say, Jamie – if you can’t stand the shouting, screaming and arguing, get out of the kitchen! Face value Rebecca Judd had a moment of clarity. While scrolling through some photos, she realised she has ‘the worst resting b***h face you have ever seen’. Good news – we’ve seen a lot worse,…
