COUPLES CRISIS Jen’s feeling jealous… Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s marriage has been plunged into crisis once again – and it seems actress Mila Kunis is stuck in the middle. Sources say Jennifer, 48, flew into a rage when Justin recently agreed to star with Mila, 33, in upcoming flick The Spy Who Dumped Me. New Idea can reveal the sexy wife of Ashton Kutcher has grown extremely close to Justin, 45, having personally wooed him to sign up for the film. ‘Mila took Justin out to dinner a few times to convince him to take the role,’ says a Hollywood insider. ‘They met late at night at quiet, dark restaurants and Mila threw a bucket of charm at him. He was so taken with her that he couldn’t say…

FIGH T BUB! He’s the underdog world-champion boxer who captured the nation’s hearts with his stunning victory against veteran fighter Manny Pacquiao. But despite Jeff Horn’s meteoric overnight success, the 29-year-old former schoolteacher from Brisbane isn’t letting his new-found fame go to his head. As he punched his way through to become the new WBO welterweight champion, there was one person in Jeff ’s mind: his childhood sweetheart of 11 years – now his wife – Jo. Speaking to the 50,000-strong crowd directly after his stunning win at Suncorp Stadium in Queensland, the humble star announced the joyous news that Jo was pregnant with the couple’s first child. ‘This is not the best moment of my life.

Not only has he just wrapped three new films and hosted Channel Seven’s new family friendly show Little Big Shots, he’s also preparing to marry the woman of his dreams! Laughing giddily, the 47-yearold tells New Idea he’s still not used to calling his partner Felicity Hunter his fiancee. ‘I think that’s the first time I’ve said that out loud to anyone,’ he gushes. ‘We’re getting married next year. I’m going to make her my wife!’ The long-time couple live on a sprawling property in regional Victoria with their three children and Shane’s son from a previous relationship. ‘We’ve been together for a long time... I just haven’t had a chance to whack a ring on it!’ Shane – who became…

WIPE ART! I love any craft project you can pull off with items you already have in the house, which is why I love this tie-dye art made with baby wipes. Simply twist the wipes, pop rubber bands down the wipe to create different sections and use a texta or watercolours to colour each section. Once complete, remove the rubber bands and lie the wipe on paper towels to dry. String up with pegs for the easiest ever tie-dye bunting! Panto Pete He’s one of our hardest-working and funniest performers, so I can’t wait to see Todd McKenney playing Captain Hook in the new pantomime The Adventures of Peter Pan & Tinker Bell. Kids love pantos, with their hilarious overacting and nerve-racking audience participation – I still remember, as a child,…

A series of plane crashes has left Calista Flockhart desperate for hubby Harrison Ford – who turns 75 this week – to give up flying. The couple were spotted in a tense conversation, with pals saying the actor’s most recent accident in February – which saw him crash-land his small plane on a taxiway rather than the designated runway – was the final straw. ‘Every time he goes up in a plane, Calista holds her breath now,’ says a source. ‘It’s a nightmare for her after all these accidents. She’s so stressed out about it and wishes he’d just find something else – he’s nearly a decade after retirement age for any pilot!’ NIALL BEGS KATY: ‘GIVE ME A CHANCE!’ Katy Perry and Niall Horan have a sexy flirtation going…

They’ve only been dating for a couple of months, but judging from photos of a recent holiday together with their children, it seems Fifi Box and her new boyfriend Damien Richardson are set to take their budding relationship to the next level.

Liz Hurley has a new man in her life, and it seems the shock new romance is ruffling plenty of royal feathers. The model and actress has been spotted getting cosy with Italian property tycoon Niccolo Barattieri di San Pietro, 46, who dumped Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer just a few weeks ago. The 26-year-old aristocrat – the daughter of Diana’s brother Earl Spencer – has reportedly been left heartbroken by her ex’s new romance with Liz who, at 52, is twice Kitty’s age. The drama has left English high society reeling, and Prince Charles’ wife Camilla, in particular, is thought to be livid over Liz’s desperate ploy to grab headlines – and embroil the royal family in another controversial scandal. ‘Camilla is furious over this latest scandal,’ says…

TRUE TROOPER He graced our screens as stoic sergeant Tom Croydon on Blue Heelers for more than a decade, and won three Logies, a string of nominations and legions of fans in the process. And now John Wood devotees will be devastated to learn the veteran star has been forced to rein in his career after being diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune disorder. ‘I now have rheumatoid arthritis which knocks me around a bit,’ he reveals to New Idea. ‘The problem I have is that I can’t do anything terribly active. I can’t bend easily and I can’t touch my toes very well and stuff like that, so it’s a bit hazardous for a working actor to be not so agile.’ While the 70-year-old, who most recently starred in an…

Flirty friendship! RED HOT! Julia Roberts and Richard Gere have set tongues wagging after enjoying a string of intimate dinner dates. It’s no secret that the Hollywood golden couple, whose electric chemistry made them one of the most celebrated movie pairings ever, have enjoyed a firm friendship for years. And now insiders believe the long-time friends have become closer than ever. In fact, Hollywood sources are speculating that the pair are secretly plotting a Pretty Woman sequel! A second movie would not only be a sure-fire box office hit, but would also be the perfect excuse to spend even more time together. ‘Julia and Richard are undeniably attracted to each other and have been for many years,’ a friend of the couple tells New Idea exclusively. ‘They have similar outlooks…

New Idea exclusive Snuggled in his builder father’s brawny arms, it’s plain to see young Bruce Montgomery Brow is a real chip off the old block. ‘He’s the spitting image of his dad when he was a baby,’ beams proud new mum Carly Schulz, who won the first series of House Rules with her partner Leighton Brow. ‘There’s not too much of me visible in the mix right now.’ Not content with simply having their first child, the avid renovators are now also selling their beachside home. ‘We don’t do things by halves,’ laughs former flight attendant Carly, 36. ‘Right now I could murder Leighton, but I’m sure he’ll be a very good father once he has a chance to slow down and breathe!’ Following a 10-hour labour, little Bruce…

You might know someone who’s signed up to quit alcohol for Dry July this month, or want to cut back yourself, especially during winter when it’s tempting to drink more to stay warm. The official advice is to drink no more than two standard drinks per day, but a poll by The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education revealed that 78 per cent of people believe Australians drink too much. There are plenty of good reasons to cut down. ‘People report increased energy levels, sleeping better and losing weight. Also, being clear-headed and more productive because they’re hangover-free,’ says Brett Macdonald, Dry July CEO and Co-Founder. Follow these tips to feel healthier and save cash. ADJUST YOUR SOCIAL HABITS Experiment with socialising that doesn’t involve drinking. ‘Go for a walk…

Stepping off his private jet into the dazzling Italian sunshine while carrying a crisp white bassinet, George Clooney was clearly in his element as he took on his most exciting role to date – that of new father. Snapped for the first time last week since the birth of his twins Ella and Alexander, George is said to be so smitten with fatherhood that he’s turning his back on Hollywood for good! Landing in Milan for their first family holiday alongside the precious one-month-old babies, it was clear that 56-year-old George has taken to daddy duties like a duck to water. He made sure his wife Amal, 39 – who was looking her usual slender self despite giving birth to twins just weeks ago – and the two bubs were…

From the outside it seems like model mum-to-be Lorinska Merrington has everything a girl could want: looks, money and a former AFL player husband. However, New Idea can reveal the Yummy Mummies star’s relationship with her long-time partner Andrew hasn’t always been smooth sailing. In fact, the 31?year?old confesses the couple made the difficult decision to break up just as both their careers were taking off. ‘When he was in his prime playing at Carlton, I got a contract to model. I focused on that and we broke up,’ she explains. ‘[We] thought if we get back together, then great, and if we stay apart, that’s it.’ Luckily for the now happilymarried Lorinska, she never fell out of love with Andrew. ‘Both of us were testing the waters,’ she recalls.…

KILLER HUSBAND 1 Frantic life insurance calls Author David Murray reveals that Baden-Clay was making calls to check on one of wife Allison’s million-dollar life insurance policies in the week before she went missing. The killer – who was drowning in debt leading up to the murder – tried to access information about his wife’s account, but was denied access as he wasn’t a policy holder. It was also revealed that Baden-Clay called an operator at Suncorp after his wife’s body was found, and was ‘clearly upset (crying)’ on the phone, worried the policy would lapse without him receiving a payout. But strangely, much of this evidence was never presented to the jury. ‘Prosecutors have never explained why they didn’t tell the jury about this,’ Murray writes. ‘It was significant…

R EAL LIFE HORROR C RI M E It was a crime so horrific it outraged an entire nation. The kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of gentle nurse Anita Cobby had Australia reeling in shock – and it left Anita’s husband John a shattered man. They’d been having a trial separation at the time of her murder, and tormented John blamed himself for not being there with her the night she was kidnapped, on February 2, 1986. ‘I had my first taste [of heroin] just three days after Anita was murdered. Until then I had never been into drugs,’ John admits in the book Remembering Anita Cobby by Mark Morri. In the tough days that followed Anita’s death, John had hidden away from the public at a house that belonged…

It’s been over a year since controversial couple Brad Clarke and Tallena Johnston burst onto our screens in the first season of the polarising relationship TV show Seven Year Switch. The acrimonious pair set tongues wagging with their explosive relationship, and eventually alienated themselves from their co-stars. Since tying the knot in a secret ceremony in their home state of Queensland in June last year, the couple have shied away from the media limelight and the resulting backlash that surrounded their appearance, even going so far as to delete their joint Instagram account. As reported in New Idea last year, one of Brad’s former friends claimed he was ‘a scammer’ who previously went by the name of Doug, and once declared he had oesophageal cancer. ‘It made me feel betrayed…

But can you make money from it? We asked the experts to help formulate a sure-fire plan. IDENTIFY YOUR PASSION According to Tim Reid, host of the Small Business Big Marketing Show (smallbusinessbigmarketing.com), you should start by creating a list of what truly lights you up. ‘When you love what you do, when you’re passionate about it, then you’ll never work another day in your life,’ he says. ‘Compare this to the grind of a daily nine to five job (which stands for ‘just on broke’), and the idea of getting paid for your hobby becomes uber-appealing.’ KNOW…

CHILDREN’S WORLD TOAD TORMENT Knowing I was going to cook sausages for dinner and wanting to create something a bit more exciting than bangers and mash, I asked Miss Seven if she liked ‘toad in the hole’. She promptly burst into tears and shouted: ‘I don’t like eating toads!’ Dianne Blanchard, Wattle Grove, WA. SHOOTING CARS While I was driving with my friend’s son, six, we were both startled by a sudden, loud bang. Recognising the sound as a vehicle backfiring, I told him calmly: ‘It’s OK, it’s only a car.’ Puzzled, Master Six asked: ‘But why did they just shoot it?’ Jane Lawrence, Sheffield, Tas. ACID LOGIC I dropped a silver coin in a glass of acid and asked the class if it would dissolve. ‘No, Miss,’ Master 10…
