OLIVIA OPENS UP ABOUT HER HEALTH After a shock health scare earlier this year, Olivia Newton-John has opened up about rumours she was at “death’s door”. Admitting the past few months have been challenging after fracturing her pelvis, the singer is now on the mend. “I started on a walker, then a cane and now nothing,” Olivia told People . The injury meant that she had to spend her 70th birthday in her own Melbourne Wellness Centre receiving radiation treatment. “There were all these things I was going to do for my birthday,” she said. “But God had other plans. “I never say, ‘Why me?’ I was like, ‘Wow, I’m in my hospital that I’d dreamt of building for people to have rest and peace, and there…

Australia’s new Bachelor has been announced and he’s a bit different from the brawny Bachelors of the past. He’s tall, dark, handsome and smart – like seriously genius- level smart! Matthew Agnew is an astrophysicist studying for his PhD. Friends describe him as a hot Sheldon Cooper, a character from the top rating TV show The Big Bang Theory . “Seeing my mates finding their partners, tying the knot and buzzing with laughter and love, I realise I want that,” Matthew, 31, explains. “I’ve got a real ‘do it once, do it right’ mentality so I’ll be making sure I throw myself into it, am vulnerable and enjoy what comes from that. I’m pinching myself that this is happening. It may be an unorthodox way to meet…

While rumours have been rife that Bradley Cooper is having an off-screen affair with Lady Gaga, it now appears his attention is elsewhere. Bradley was recently spotted arriving at Jennifer Garner’s house, where he was affectionately greeted by her. Jen has known Brad since they grew close on the set of Alias in 2006. “I took him home and made him dinner,” she told Entertainment Tonight . “I’m still making him dinner.” Gushing about his recent success, she said: “Bradley, what’s happening to you now is a pure joy to those who know you, especially to those of us who’ve known you from the start. It turns out you weren’t just handsome all along. You were also a wonder. You are welcome at…

As My Kitchen Rules celebrates its 10th season, the hit cooking show has clocked up another major milestone. Much-loved contestant John Krasenstein and his wife Chloe exclusively reveal to New Idea that they are expecting a My Kitchen Rules baby! “I fell pregnant while John was filming MKR,” Chloe says excitedly. Proud father-to-be John – who entered the competition with mum Lisa – explains: “During filming, Chloe took a couple months off work and she came over to Sydney so we could keep trying for a baby.” The Perth couple believe if it wasn’t for MKR, they may not be preparing for the arrival of their little girl, who is due at the end of July. “CHLOE AND I GOT MARRIED ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO AND WE STARTED TRYING STRAIGHT…

It’s the same story in most families – one child excels at all things academic while another struggles and finds learning a challenge. So how do you refrain from comparing your kids – not just to each other but their friends? While schools can encourage teachers not to compare siblings, parents play a huge role in making each child feel valued not just for their talent but their effort. As psychologist Dr Elle Boag of Birmingham University points out, high-achieving parents are even more likely to make comparisons between their children. Here’s how to handle those academic differences. “I DON’T THINK WE GIVE WOMEN ENOUGH CREDIT FOR THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL MARATHON THEY GO THROUGH WHEN BECOMING A MOTHER. I COME FROM A PLACE OF AMAZING PRIVILEGE. I HAVE AN…

Q We just bought a kitten and she is an indoor-only cat. I know cats are very good at self-cleaning, but how often should I be washing her? MARGARET SAMS, WALLSEND, NSW. A The great thing about cats is they almost never need washing! They are fastidious cleaners, and will often notice that they are dirty before you do. Occasionally, if they are soiled around the back end, a damp cloth is the best way to clean them. Most cats hate baths, and it can be dangerous for both you and the cat! If you have a long-haired cat, regular brushing keeps the coat healthy.…

Q My dad passed in 1952, supposedly from a mining accident. Mum was pregnant with her fourth child. The days before he died my dad appears to have visited all his mates. And he changed shifts the night he died. He had also seen the doctor with a stomach complaint. My question is, did he have bowel cancer as his mother also had? Did he think it would be better for Mum and us because the mine would pay compensation, which they did not do for several years? Mum has now gone, as have all but one from her generation. I miss her as she was the one I knew. My stepdad was great and my maternal grandmother made us all feel special. Patty, via email A Patty, instinctively we…

HITS THE SPOT I took my lovely freckly 5-year-old grandson to the Zoo. Children were queuing to have their cheeks painted by a local artist. “You’ve got so many freckles there’s no place to paint,” said a little girl, waiting behind us, to my grandson. He was clearly embarrassed and hurt. “I love your freckles,” I said to comfort him. “When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles. Is there anything prettier than freckles?” My little darling grandson looked at me intently and answered: “Wrinkles.” DENISE GRESSE, KELLYVILLE, NSW. LOGICAL LEAP My son was driving with his 6-year-old son, Lachlan, when they passed a greyhound racing track. Lachy asked what it was. “It’s a place  where people go to race dogs,” my son replied. After a long, contemplative…

Q My son has been with a lovely girl for five years, and two years ago I lent them some money to buy a house together. Unfortunately, they split up recently and she has moved out. My son can’t afford the mortgage on his own, so he is having to sell the house and the girlfriend wants half the proceeds, but hasn’t mentioned paying back the deposit I gave them. Would I be within my rights to ask her to deduct this from any profit they have made as I’d really like my son to have this money. JACQUI, VIA EMAIL. A You certainly are within your rights to ask for the money you handed over for the deposit. The request should come from your son as he is selling…

RESTORATION AUSTRALIA SUN. 7.40PM ON ABC Tim had always dreamed about buying the modernist house up the road from his family home, designed by Bulgarian architect Iwan Iwanoff. And, in 2013, that dream came true when Tim and his partner Lisa bought the place. But in 2015, a devastating fire gutted their dream home. Now, the Perth-based couple plan to resurrect their 1960s modernist abode with the help of Restoration Australia and host, Stuart Harrison. In order to do so, they must source all the original materials – including marble and Jarrah timber – which will prove challenging. Can this couple rebuild their home or will it all end in tears? CLEANING UP FRI. 8.30PM ON SEVEN Sam (Sheridan Smith) is a struggling single mum with…

We were excited when former resident Martha (Belinda Giblin) recently arrived back in the Bay. And this week there’s an extra reason to put out the welcome mat – with the return of another long-time favourite! John (Shane Withington) and Marilyn’s (Emily Symons) adopted son Jett (Will McDonald), now an army graduate, suddenly appears in the seaside town. And his doting parents couldn’t be more thrilled, as was also the case for the actors who play them. “It’s been so nice to have this storyline of Jett coming back into the show,” reveals Emily. “It’s lovely to have that continuity of the character as the audience watched Jett grow up and develop, now that he’s a 20-year-old young man. “He’s done really well at the military college and, of course,…

BRAD AND TOM’S FEUD THE PAIR THOUGHT FILMING TOGETHER SUCKED! Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise’s secret feud has come to light. According to a report published by Radar Online , the pair have been at loggerheads for over 25 years! “Tom was the biggest A-list name of the ’80s and Brad of the ’90s,” revealed a source. “They’ve traded plenty of barbs in the past.” Tom, 56, and Brad, 55, apparently fell out during the filming of Interview with the Vampire and have never patched things up. “He bugged me,” Pitt reportedly said at the time. “There came a point during filming when I started really resenting him. “He’s North Pole, I’m South,” continued Pitt. “He’s always coming at you with…

For more than 50 years Kerri-Anne Kennerley has been a constant on our TV screens – always smiling, always energetic and always upbeat. However, this week, the dynamic 65-year-old is none of these. Instead, her heart is broken following the death of the love of her life and husband of 35 years, John, who endured two years as a quadriplegic following a freak accident in 2016, only to die of pneumonia last week. To say Kerri-Anne is devastated to lose John is an understatement. A friend who spoke to her soon after his death says she is “shattered” but also accepts that it was his time, explaining John was “tired of it all” at the end. There is only so much a person can endure. “THE REALITY THAT HER BEST…

He’s the Hollywood heart-throb who captured the heart of everyone who knew him – right until the very end. And Luke Perry was reportedly surrounded by loved ones when he sadly passed away at age 52 last Monday, including the leading ladies in his life. Both Luke’s fiancee Wendy Madison Bauer and his ex-wife Rachel “Minnie” Sharp were by his bedside at St Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank, California, when he slipped away. The Beverly Hills 90210 star was rushed to the hospital just a week earlier, after suffering a massive stroke. As well as being Luke’s ex-wife, Rachel is also the mother of his children, Jack, 21, and Sophie, 18. The beautiful brunette, who once worked in a furniture store, met Luke at the height of his fame in the…

Will’s back! It’s been quite some time since we last saw popular young actor Will McDonald on our screens as Jett, the adopted son of Marilyn (Emily Symons) and John (Shane Withington). And for 20-year-old Will, heading back to the Bay this week has made for a very special homecoming. The Sydneysider was just 13 when he first joined the hit Aussie drama series. Growing up in front of the cameras, Will naturally came to regard his TV castmates as a second family. “I was on the show permanently for three and a half years, and have been coming and going intermittently since then,” says Will. “No-one else in my family is involved in acting, so I really had no experience in terms of how things were going to pan…

Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects one in 10 women of reproductive age, with an estimated 176 million sufferers worldwide. Celebrities including Lena Dunham, Susan Sarandon, Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins and former Spice Girl Emma Bunton have all helped raise awareness of endometriosis by sharing their personal struggles. We’ve asked a medical expert in women’s health to explain the disorder. SIGNS & SYMPTOMS In endometriosis, cells similar to those that line the uterus are found in other parts of the body, particularly in the pelvis. Some women have no symptoms, but around three in four women with ‘endo’ suffer from bad period pain. “Women can suffer from painful periods that are so bad they stop you doing your normal work, study, going to the gym – anything that’s part…

Dr Rob Zammit (BVSc Veterinarian) knows what a dog needs, and here he shares his advice on how you can help keep your furry mate in good shape from the very first day, starting with the right nutrition. “A daily walk will not only stimulate your dog’s heart, lungs, muscles and bones but maintains good mental health.”– Dr Rob Zammit, BVSc Veterinarian THE RIGHT NUTRITION Always feed your dog a balanced diet. This doesn’t mean the most expensive dog food you can find, but rather a good-quality dry dog food mixed with a wet dog food or a tasty protein like fish, lamb, beef or chicken. If you do feed chicken please make sure it’s cooked – this avoids some of the nasty bugs that raw chicken can harbour. SIGNS…

For some, this piece of advice will be completely obvious, while for others, it may be the single most important thing to keep in mind when arranging anything in a vase. When you look at an arrangement as a whole, from the bottom of the vase to the top of the leaves, you want to see two-thirds plant material and one-third vase. Or, at the very least, half and half. I very much like arrangements that take these proportions even further: say four-fifths plant material, one-fifth vase. But almost always, when there is more vase than plant material, I am disappointed. It’s like microwaved bacon – there’s just no need for it. Some people struggle with this at the classes I teach, but when they learn to see their arrangements…

When you buy a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle, you drive away with the peace of mind, security and financial benefits that come with buying a quality vehicle through an authorised Toyota dealer. Just like Melbourne dad, Tom Storey. He was specifically looking for a comfortable seven-seat SUV for his growing family, and his year-old Kluger ticked all the boxes. “The whole experience was fantastic and completely hassle-free,” Tom says. “The fact that the car is a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle really gives you that extra peace of mind that you are buying a car with a fully verified service history and it has been comprehensively checked.” Every Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle comes with: ✓ A full service history ✓ An independent background check ✓ 90 point inspection by Toyota technicians…

We have recently lost our beautiful little girl, Sally. We could not believe it could hurt so much, she has left a big hole in our hearts. We would like to know if she is all right and let her know we love and miss her so much. Does she blame me for not getting her to the vet earlier? She was 15 years and 10 months. I know she had a wonderful life, but we still talk to her every day. Thank you. DENNIS, VIA EMAIL. Sally was (and still is!) a beautiful girl who always liked to stay close and lovingly shadow the members of your household. She still visits you and says she has not left your side. Sally is aware of how much time and energy…

MIXED MESSAGES I asked 80-year-old MM if he had mastered the art of “SMSing” to which he replied, “I’m not into that kinky stuff!” ANGELA MORRISSEY, EAGLEHAWK, VIC. A SPECIAL NIGHT My MM brother and his wife were watching some romance movie when he suddenly asked her what day it was. She thought that he might say something romantic but when she said, “It’s Monday,” MM said, “It’s rubbish night, remind me to take it out after the movie.” ZANDER GREEN, CHRISTCHURCH, NZ. PARTY POOPER My friend’s MM teenager was comparing car insurance quotes for his first car and asked my advice about the different options. I told him third party only was cheaper but riskier than being fully covered. “Wait! What? Who tells them how many parties I’ve been…

It’s difficult to think of a time over the past three decades when David Reyne wasn’t on our screens – be it as a travel presenter, morning show host, Logiewinning actor or musician. And happily behind the scenes, by the star’s side through it all, has been his wife of 25 years, Karina. Certainly, Karina’s support isn’t something the long-time Getaway favourite takes for granted. As David says without hesitation: “She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” David will always remember the first moment he met Karina, then an interior design student. “It was 31 years ago at a nightclub in Melbourne and I remember thinking that Karina was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen in my life,” he recalls. “I thought she had such poise, grace…

He started off the year with a bang, heading to the African Jungle on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!. But that was just the beginning of an incredibly busy year for Luke Jacobz, who is also set to host Channel Seven’s new show, The Proposal. And the actor admits that starting a family with his American fiancee, Raychel Stuart, is also on the cards. “I have to have children,” he tells New Idea. “[Raychel] is from a family of five and she wants a big family. I’m from a family of two and I’m happy with that, but if that’s what she wants, she is my girl, so hopefully we can have a big family for her. “It might be a mad house at my place in…

Julia Roberts and Sean Penn looked cosy as they walked arm-in-arm to Chris Martin’s 42nd birthday party, setting tongues wagging about a potential romance brewing between the pair. Insiders tell New Idea of their relationship, which has grown stronger over many years. “There’s no doubt that Julia and Sean have always been good friends and have become even closer in recent months,” says a source. “They’ve both gone through the highs and lows of Hollywood and failed marriages, and they really respect one another’s opinions and count on each other a lot.” According to the source, Danny has always been really jealous of their friendship – it’s a real bone of contention in their marriage. “Danny knows there’s nothing going on with Sean – and Julia would never do that…

It should have been a day full of joy and new beginnings. But July 27, the day of Kristy Watson’s son’s birth, was the worst day of her life when he was delivered stillborn. It was a day that should never have happened and, seven months on, she still agonises about how it did. “I kept going to the hospital, telling people I was worried but nobody listened,” she tells New Idea. Kristy, 20, from Victoria, was suffering undiagnosed pre-eclampsia, a serious condition of pregnancy which can threaten the lives of both mother and baby. “From 26 weeks I knew something was wrong,” she says. “My feet were swollen and I had really bad headaches but the doctors kept sending me away telling me to take Panadol.” By 29 weeks,…

We’ve recently been spotting celebrities on the red carpet adorned in beautiful gowns with bold pops of coloured eyeshadow. Whether it complements their frock or it’s in a completely contrasting hue, we are loving this trend! Coloured eyeshadow is everywhere we look – but is it a trend that can be worn by everyone? Celebrity makeup artist Sarah Tammer, whose client list includes Elsa Pataky, Shanina Shaik and Lara Worthington, shares her expert tips on how to take this trend and make it wearable. PARE IT BACK It’s always advisable to pick a feature to highlight, so if you are going to play with coloured eyelids, try to keep a nude lip. “I prefer to pair a strong eye with a clean polished base and natural lip to avoid looking…

In 1995, at the age of 30, I had developed endometriosis to the level where I had an operation that prevented me from having any more children. I am extremely blessed to have two beautiful children and I never take that gift for granted. It was, however, always our dream to have four children, but due to endometriosis we were unable to. Then, in 2001, I developed tumours in my spleen after having endometriosis and Hashimoto’s. I was 36 at the time and that was my wake-up call. Prior to that I thought I was healthy, but I was far from healthy. I started researching the causes of endometriosis and Hashimoto’s, and in particular delved deep into the endocrine system, its role and the health challenges that relate to it.…

When selecting flowers to arrange, stick to a palette. Don’t just jam in all the pretties within reach, which can be hard to resist when you have gorgeous blue delphiniums, yellow garden roses and pink salvias all flowering at the same time. Much like choosing an outfit, an arrangement’s success comes just as much from what you choose not to put in. This is an edited extract from A Tree in the House by Annabelle Hickson, published by Hardie Grant Books, $50, and is available where all good books are sold.…

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20 Spontaneous spending or an opportune purchase will achieve a purpose but the timing might not be easy and finding the balance may entail a compromise. There’ll be important financial loose ends to tie off too. An overdue chat will need a gentle touch. There will be questions to ask, answers will resolve issues and give the chance to set the record straight. A rare family gathering will be a treat. LUCKY NUMBERS: 22, 28, 38 TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21 A physical goal or strenuous activities will stretch your resources. Pace yourself carefully to make the most of your energies. You’ll take a stand on something you believe in and choosing your words will help you put your message across. New friendships will…

ROYAL RAGS I loved your feature on Fashion Queens (NI, 18 Feb). The photos were amazing and every royal looked  elegant. It must be wonderful to be able to wear clothes by top designers but it does mean, being royalty, they have to care for their figures and health to show off whatever they wear in the very best way possible as they are always in the public eye. I congratulate Kate for recycling her wardrobe and also wearing reasonably priced brands. F.A. ROONEY, SALE, VIC. THANKS, DENISE I applaud Denise Drysdale for opening up about a very dark period in her life and how she coped with her health problems and depression (NI, Feb 18). It goes to her character that even with all she’s going through she wishes…
