Princess Charlotte has dropped a baby bombshell on the Duchess of Cambridge, telling her mum she wants to be a big sister. Palace sources confirm the toddler is ‘begging’ William, 34, and Kate, 35, to have another baby – as friends of the royal parents reveal they’re hoping to fall pregnant as soon as possible. ‘George is off to school this year and Kate is more than ready for baby number three,’ says the trusted source. ‘But by far the biggest driving factor behind Kate falling pregnant again is Princess Charlotte. ‘She keeps saying she wants to be a big sister. She’s obsessed with dolls and little babies, and is always pushing around her little toy pram. Her favourite show is Peppa Pig and her favourite movie is Frozen, and…

‘Chandler knows Bindi is the one for him and is desperate to start their own life together’ Loved-up Bindi Irwin has unveiled top-secret plans to buy a zoo with her US boyfriend Chandler Powell. The devoted couple took a secret trip to Florida last week to begin their ambitious plan of bringing the Australia Zoo empire to the States. The couple of two years were spotted strolling hand-in-hand around Disney’s Epcot theme park in Orlando – but it was far from a romantic date. Instead, they arrived in the late afternoon with Chandler’s parents Chris and Shannan in tow, and immediately set off inspecting the park’s gardens and communal eating areas. ‘They were very focused on the inner workings of the park, taking photos of odd things like picnic tables…

Jennifer Aniston Jen reveals ‘water, sleep and sunscreen’ are her secrets for turning back the beauty clock – as well as a couple of other kooky tricks! The former Friends star says she uses Vaseline on her eyes every night to moisturise, prevent wrinkles and condition lashes, and gets laser treatments and facial massages. She also uses avocado and egg white face masks in her pursuit of perfect skin. But despite her full beauty regimen, Jen reveals she’s more at peace with her skin than ever. ‘I had a boyfriend who always said I looked better without make-up,’ the 48-year-old told InStyle. ‘It took me a while to feel comfortable enough to remove that armour, but I eventually realised he was right.’ Naomi Watts Mum-of-two Naomi, 48, reveals that the…

‘Right from the start we had issues that we didn’t talk through. One was falling pregnant instantly...’ I would love another sibling for my kids!’ mum-of-two Felicity reveals. ‘I would definitely be open to having two more kids.’ Despite being ready to expand her brood, the 25-year-old vividly recalls the trauma of her first two pregnancies, admitting they took a toll on her health. ‘My first pregnancy, I was in and out of hospital the whole time,’ says Felicity, who owns a Paleo snack business. ‘I had severe morning sickness the whole way through. I only put on seven-and-a-half kilos throughout my pregnancy because I was sick the whole time.’ The severe morning sickness meant she couldn’t leave her bed. ‘I had just turned 22, I could barely walk and…

Who doesn’t love to see pictures of themselves relaxing and unwinding on holiday? Well, not everyone, especially if they spark pregnancy rumours! Luckily, after recent photos of actress Eva Longoria on a trip to Hawaii prompted talk of a baby, the star luckily saw the funny side of the papped pics. ‘I saw some pictures of myself really fat on a boat, and I have to tell you, all I did was eat cheese,’ the 42-year-old said on Snapchat. ‘Everybody is saying I’m pregnant, and I’m not. I was just lactose intolerant apparently.’…

Splash ’n’ blab Guess where Emma Stone does her phone interviews? ‘I'm thrilled that you asked [where I am right now], because I didn't want things to get weird,’ she said to a journalist. ‘I'm in the bath.’ Yeah, a bit too late for the ‘not getting weird’ thing… Buttering up ‘Having a wonderful English muffin and some tea is my idea of a good time,’ Oprah reckons. OK, so next year we’ll swap your place on a holiday yacht with the Obamas and Tom Hanks for a box of Bushells Blue Label and a pack of Tip Top’s finest. Done!

The royals were handing out bottles of water to runners alongside PRINCE HARRY, when a cheeky racer unexpectedly splashed them in the face. Charming! Sandy and Danny take Tahiti!

Brad Pitt is preparing to lift the lid on his ‘twisted’ marriage to Angelina Jolie, his ugly custody battle and his secret love for Jen in a long-awaited $50m tell-all. Brad Pitt: My Story will expose every secret from the 53-year-old, who wants to go ‘on the record’ in the wake of his shock divorce from Ange, 41. Brad is brokering exclusive world extract rights to the book, which is believed to be in the final stages of publishing. ‘After everything that Brad’s been through, he just wanted to get his story out there,’ says a publishing source. ‘He’s very upset about the lies that have been spread by Ange and the many mistruths to come out of the early reports from their split.

Speaking to New Idea, the beloved Family Feud host says the terrifying accident has shaken him to the core. ‘I think we’re going to be reassessing what I do now,’ the avid racer admits, as he questions quitting his favourite hobby altogether. ‘Whenever you get a close call like that, it really does shake up your perspective a lot.

It’s been 10 long years, but police could finally be on the verge of cracking the case of missing Madeleine McCann, who vanished from her bed in a picturesque Portuguese holiday resort when she was three years old. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley from the Metropolitan Police Service said intelligence had led the investigation to ‘some critical lines of enquiry, which we are pursuing today’. He confirmed police are focusing on the theory Madeleine, from Leicestershire, was snatched. ‘She was not old enough to set off and start her own life,’ he said, believing however she left the apartment, she was abducted.

More than two million Australians suffer from anxiety, and if you’re one of them, you will know the symptoms: feeling tense and wound up, a racing heart, chest pains, and tingling sensations. While some people require therapy or medication for anxiety, breathing techniques can offer real relief to help alleviate everyday stress. ‘Breathing will stop the ruminating thoughts that [fuel] the mental agitation of anxiety and can also help you shift the uncomfortable physical feelings that often come with it,’ says breathing therapist Dr Rosalba Courtney. THE STRESS RESPONSE HOW IT WORKS: When you become anxious, the body’s stress response is activated and gears you up to fight or flee a perceived threat. ‘Work demands, relationship challenges and financial pressures, to name just a few sources, can trigger the response…

Happy Days fans around the world were in mourning last week as the tragic death of Erin Moran was announced. The 56-year-old star – who played Joanie Cunningham on the hit ’70s show – died in her sleep and was found by her husband on April 22. While a radio interview with her former co-star Scott Baio speculated that she had succumbed to her previously documented addiction demons, a statement from her husband Steve Fleischmann reveals she died from a secret battle with stage four cancer. In recent years, the actress had fallen on hard times battling drugs and alcohol. ‘Both she and Steve had an issue with drink and they tried to kick the habit for years,’ an exclusive insider tells. ‘Erin didn’t go out as much when…

It’s been a week of mixed emotions for actor Samuel Johnson. Despite winning two Logie Awards – the Gold for Best Personality on Australian Television, as well as Best Actor for his portrayal of music legend Molly Meldrum – Sam is said to have been ‘upset’ after Molly himself stormed the stage and cut off his moving tribute to his terminally ill sister Connie. ‘He said: “I didn’t get to say what I wanted to say to you Con” – he was quite upset about that,’ Connie, who has recently stopped treatment for her three-decade battle with cancer, told ABC Canberra. However, Sam was gracious when grilled about the incident – which saw Molly interrupt the speech to hand Sam a hat he’d painted gold – joking on The Project…

CASEY & LEE caught out! Whispers on the night were that singer Casey Donovan and Australian Survivor star Lee Carseldine have become the most unlikely Logies couple ever! The surprising pair were spotted walking together to Channel Ten’s after-party – with Lee’s partner El Rowland nowhere in sight. As they entered the venue, 28-year-old Casey playfully tapped the father-of-two on the backside (see right). The I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner dressed down her black gown with a pair of Converse sneakers, while former cricketer Lee appeared a little worse for wear with his trouser zipper partially undone. Casey admitted she was going to have a big night after her performance during the ceremony was over. ‘I think a couple of wines and a boogie will be…

‘I look at them and I think: “Do you have any idea what’s going to happen?”’ Get set for the most explosive series of House Rules ever, with host Johanna Griggs revealing there will be more scandal and drama than ever before. The much-loved star tells New Idea a series overhaul means ‘no contestant is safe’. And she says one team will bring dramatic showdowns at every twist and turn. ‘There is a team who are quite unapologetic about everything they say and everything they do,’ Johanna cryptically reveals. ‘It’s funny, because people will think they’ve been chosen for their personalities, but in fact, they were chosen because they have the worst house we could find in Australia. ‘And they’ve turned out to be this team…

He may state: ‘I’ve only been in hospital twice’ in a racing career that has spanned 300 races, but Grant’s life in the past few years has hit a few speed bumps – at full throttle. In September 2008, the thrill-seeker was almost left a paraplegic after splintering his vertebrae in a stunt gone wrong while driving a seven-and-a-half-tonne monster truck. He was forced to lie still for the next six months, and took two years to fully recover. ‘It was the wake-up call I needed,’ he said at the time. Never one to say no to a dare, racing v8s and doing 300m bungee jumps over Bondi Beach was all in a day’s work for the former Sunrise weatherman – but it was his work as a TV star…

Looking at Pearl as she wags her tail and drools with excitement, it’s hard to imagine she was once a depressed dog who was severely obese. But just two years ago, the Jack Russell mix was so porky, she couldn’t even turn her head or walk. ‘Pearl weighed 36kg when I first met her,’ explains pet rescuer Hayley Zielinski. ‘She was like an inflated beach ball.’ Life was bleak for the brown-eyed beauty, and vets feared her heart could stop at any moment because of her enormous size. ‘They honestly thought the best thing was to put her down,’ the 48-year-old recalls. ‘It was heartbreaking.’ Luckily for Pearl, animal lover Hayley – a founder of the Dog Networking Agents Inc, a rescue organisation for pets – couldn’t let that happen,…

‘Jess thinks Delta’s a joke, and laughs about the fact that she’s still on the show’ Since stepping down from her role as coach on The Voice , it seems controversial British singer Jessie J hasn’t had many nice things to say about her time on the Channel Nine show. According to a music industry insider, the 29-year-old has slammed the singing contest, calling it ‘a joke’. ‘When producers were scouting talent, she warned her mates in the industry the only thing the show was good for was a holiday,’ the source reveals to New Idea. The insider also reveals the feud between Jessie and Delta Goodrem hasn’t been laid to rest – despite claims to the contrary. The British-born star is still badmouthing her former rival…

CHILDREN’S WORLD WRONG VERSION My little granddaughter loves to sing the Kids Alive swimming song, but I noticed recently she changes some of the words. Instead of ‘Fence the pool, shut the gate’, she sings: ‘Fence the pool, suffocate.’ I don’t think Laurie Lawrence would like her version! Monica Urquhart, Tamworth, NSW. ACTIVIST-IN-TRAINING Driving home one day with my six-year-old daughter, I heard from the back seat: ‘Ugh, this is an environmental disaster!’ Surprised, I asked what she was referring to. She said: ‘Someone has left their big piece of rubbish on the road and now it’s flapping around. This is not taking care of our environment, is it Mum?’ Tracy Marshall, Auckland, NZ. THANKS, NAN! As a parent, we often worry whether we are doing the right thing with…

Who could forget Tziporah Malkah’s shock revelation on I’m A Celeb that she hadn’t ‘had a shag in six years’! Now the dry spell is finally over, as the star formerly known as Kate Fischer announced on Studio 10 last week that she’s rekindled the romance with an old flame. The former model divulged that she’s reconnected with a guy she had dated as a 14-year-old – a beau she hadn’t spoken with for 30 years, until he spotted some pictures of her in a magazine. ‘He found me on Facebook because he saw me in that... sheet toga thing,’ she says, laughing. ‘Straight after the jungle, I was right down there [visiting him] – my six-year drought is over... yay!’…

JONESY SAYS... When Jax Teller died in Sons Of Anarchy, I had to immediately rewatch the final episode again. I don’t know why I was surprised – after all, he was the president of an outlaw motorcycle gang. The last ep had Biblical overtones with a bit of Hamlet thrown in for good measure. After Jax kills his stepdad, his mum and every baddie in the world, he rides his Harley, while being pursued by the police, into the front of a semi-trailer. Oddly, the truck was driven by Michael Chiklis, who played a police commissioner in The Commish. Poetic. AMANDA SAYS... I was a reporter at Beyond 2000 and I’d often work from home – which meant I’d lie on the couch watching The Bold And The Beautiful. In…
