Single mums Fiona and Nicole have warned their opposing teams, vowing that ‘revenge is best served cold’. This week on the Channel Seven renovation show, the Victorian duo drive the wedge between them and their competing teams even further as the biggest contestant war in House Rules history rages on ‘The cool group always band together against us,’ Fiona says on the show. ‘We’re not here to be a part of the cool group. We were never a part of the cool group at school and we’re not going to start now that we’re in our 40s. It’s team Vic versus the world.’ From secret strategies and hiding materials to accusations of sabotage, the gloves are well and truly off. We’ve been set up to fail and we’re going to…

New FBI files have exposed shocking claims from Tom Cruise’s secret Scientology girlfriend, who says the actor has ‘violent tendencies’. The damning allegations from lover Nazanin Boniadi, 36 – first published on website Radar Online – were part of a federal US investigation that states the beautiful actress was being groomed to become the next Mrs Cruise when things went horribly wrong. The report claims Nazanin was advised by Scientology bosses that her ‘entire purpose’ was to make her new boyfriend – rumoured to be Tom – happy, but he soon became prone to ‘temper tantrums’. It was after one ‘frightening incident’ on a holiday away together that Nazanin threatened to go public. The report says this resulted in her being forced into slave labour as punishment. While Tom, 54,…

It’s meant to be a familyfriendly show, but the latest season of MasterChef Australia has descended into chaos amid bitter and unsavoury infighting between the judges.

Another bully from @masterchefau attacks Marco Pierre White’s son – say it to his face,’ wrote one Twitter user.

This is the ultimate betrayal for Jen,’ says a friend of the A-lister. ‘Not only is her husband on TV flirting outrageously with another woman, it’s a woman who’s supposed to be a friend. She just…

ROYAL F AMILY READ Y T O RULE YOUNG ROYALS LEAD THE WAY They’re changing the guard at Buckingham Palace – and Charles and Camilla aren’t happy! Prince Philip’s retirement has sparked a bitter battle behind the scenes, with Charles and second wife Camilla fearing they will be sidelined as William, Kate and Harry take on more royal duties. The ‘war of the Windsors’ broke out almost immediately after the shock announcement that the Queen’s loyal husband of nearly 70 years will be standing down from public life. As if to send out a message that the young royals are the future, Her Majesty chose Prince William, 34, to be by her side as she met with Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi at the palace.

SINGER’S HEAVY BURDEN It’s the shocking transformation that saved the life of Culture Club frontman Boy George. After losing nearly 40kg a few years ago, the British singer not only secured a healthy future, but also resurrected his career. While he’s now enjoying a resurgence in fame thanks to his role on The Voice Australia, the celebrity coach – whose real name is George O’Dowd – had a few things to consider before heading Down Under. George knew the rigorous filming of Channel Nine’s hit talent show had the potential to take a toll on his body, so to maintain his preservative-free, vegetarian lifestyle, the 55-year-old had a clever trick up his sleeve. ‘Does anyone want one?’ he asked the crowd, offering up a container of almonds during the blind…

WINS $100! LETTER OF THE WEEK CHILDREN’S WORLD CLOWNING AROUND I recently went with my three-year-old grandson to a speech therapy assessment where he was asked to look at a variety of pictures and say the corresponding words. Always trying to be the fun Nanna, I often act out different roles – from cartoon to nursery rhyme characters. After Master Three correctly identified quite a few pictures, I definitely wasn’t expecting him to look at a picture of a clown and immediately say: ‘Nanna!’ Julie Holder, Baulkham Hills, NSW. WEIRD RECIPE My friend emailed me the link to an interesting video clip of a science experiment for me to watch, which she called ‘monkey cucumber grapes’. ‘Have you watched that clip?’ I asked my teenage daughter. ‘Watched it?’ she asked,…

Now insiders have confirmed to New Idea that the lucky young lady has become ‘like a daughter’ to Mary, revealing that she’s ‘a part of the family now’ and they ‘couldn’t imagine life without her’. Danish magazine Se & Hor claims the exchange student is from Australia and that she’s ‘from Mary’s network’ or a ‘distant relative’. Mary keeps saying that it’s just so wonderful to have a young woman in the house, and she’s become like a daughter to her,’ says…

HEX APPEAL There are concerns for singer Olivia Newton- John after the Aussie pop legend was forced to cancel a string of US concerts citing a serious health issue. The 68-year-old – who has previously battled breast cancer – made the shock announcement to fans via Facebook, with insiders confirming she ‘can’t walk at the moment’. Olivia’s health woes are linked to her debilitating battle with sciatica – an incredibly painful spine and nerve condition that leaves some patients unable to move. Doctors reveal that acute sufferers are often required to take strong painkillers to relieve the symptoms, which can require major spinal surgery. ‘Olivia is a fighter – she doesn’t let anything get her down,’ says a source close to the singer. ‘So to see her unable to walk…

Tension between the pair has hit an all-time high ahead of the big day, with Pippa accusing Meghan of ‘stealing her spotlight’ after she was ‘forced’ to invite the actress girlfriend of Prince Harry, 32, to the May 20 nuptials. The controversy has sparked an angry war of words between the pair, with the Middleton family and senior royals desperately trying to mediate the explosive situation ahead of Pippa’s wedding to billionaire businessman James Matthews. The feud between Pippa and Meghan has got really out of hand,’ a palace insider says. ‘It all started when Pippa was forced into inviting Meghan to the wedding – even though she isn’t married…

CAUGHT OUT BUSTED! Happily married and a mum-oftwo, Makaia Carr had no reason to be sending sexy messages to a stranger in the United States. But for seven years, American boxer Benjamin Dobbs believed he was having an online relationship with her. It only became apparent in March that he’d been duped in an elaborate catfish scam – where an imposter pretended to be Makaia, using photos from social media to steal the 37-yearold fitness blogger’s identity. I got a message via Instagram telling me that someone was impersonating me,’ Makaia, the founder of popular health blog Motivate Me, tells New Idea. ‘At first I ignored it but a few weeks later I got a message saying this woman was sending photos of me and pretending to be me.’ While…

SEVEN YEAR SWITCH In this week’s explosive instalment of Seven Year Switch, the couples face their most confronting situations yet – and for Felicity, it’s too much. The young mum-of-two comes face-to-face with her fiance Michael’s switch partner Kaitlyn, 28, and the two almost come to blows over Kaitlyn and Michael’s actions during the experiment. Felicity reveals to Kaitlyn that due to the pair sleeping in the same bed, she’s disgusted and can no longer see a future with Michael, 31. ‘You could’ve broken up my family,’ Felicity, 25, scolds Kaitlyn, before taking off her engagement ring and telling Kaitlyn to give it to Michael with the message: ‘It’s over.’ She adds: ‘He’s disappointed me again, I’m so used to Michael doing that. So this is the end point for…

Pay attention! HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION? MONDAY, 8.30PM, CHANNEL TEN Australians love game shows as much as we love comedy, so when a show combines the two with up-to-date news and current affairs, it’s no wonder this Logie-winning program is back for its fifth season. Long-time quizmaster Tom Gleisner is at the helm again, attempting to maintain control while he puts Australia’s funniest through their paces by testing them on celebrity, political, sports, current affairs, pop culture and international news. But it wouldn’t be a game show without keeping score – and the contestants will say whatever it takes to reach the top. Show regulars Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang are joined by different faces each week, all offering wit, humour and somewhat factual information that will prove whether…

READ Y T O ROLL! KNOW YOUR NEEDS The first thing to decide is what size car you need, rather than what size you want. Before you join the rush to SUV ownership (they now make up 40 per cent of new car sales in Australia), consider whether you really need all that space and height, because these come at a cost – not just when you buy an SUV but over its lifetime (such as significantly more fuel to shift all that weight and its bigger tyres are more expensive). So, buy the smallest car you can happily live with. CHECK THE WARRANTY A good warranty can save you a lot of money. If you’re buying second-hand, it’s still best to buy from a dealer, because the law requires…

Dear Paola, The overall aspects of your hands fit into the Air category. Air hands usually belong to analytical and creative thinkers – they can often be found on writers, artists and philosophers. The upside to this is you will have many great ideas. The downside is the tendency to overanalyse things. Your ring finger is considerably longer than the index finger on both hands. This indicates a wealth of creative talent and moments of entrepreneurial inspiration. But the lack of confidence to put ideas into action may see you on the sidelines as others make money from ideas you had. It is important not to let practicality and sensibility overshadow your concepts. The best match for you is a Fire hand (longer palm than fingers), as they are the…

MUSIC LE GE N D Phenomenal chart success, fame, fortune and dedicated fans across the world – for close to 40 years, Grammy nominee Bonnie Tyler has enjoyed a music career most performers can only dream of. And if her impressive résumé isn’t enough to induce envy, there’s her age-defying looks too. At 65, the fresh-faced blonde could easily pass for a woman in her 40s. In a frank chat with New Idea, Bonnie, who is touring Australia now, talks about her road to success and how she’s turned back time. ‘Botox!’ she says, laughing. ‘I have it twice a year. And why not? There’s nothing to it. I only have it in my forehead and around my crow’s-feet, that’s it, but it helps.’ Talking about the injectable reminds the…
