Relapse fears IS BEN BACK ON THE BOOZE? Just months after rehab, the actor’s hitting the grog with his new GF He only completed his latest rehab stint for alcohol addiction in March, but concern is growing that Ben Affleck’s hard work is being undone with the help of his new girlfriend Lindsay Shookus. Indeed, the actor was recently spotted on two separate occasions buying booze at The Umbrella Factory supermarket in Naples, Maine as he and Lindsay, 37, enjoyed a weekend away. “He said he and his girlfriend were just up for a couple days,” says store employee Jenna Noyes, adding that the actor bought two bottles of rosé and a bottle of Skinnygirl Margarita. Jenna grabbed at the opportunity to pose for a pic with the Justice League…

GAGA DRAGGED INTO KESHA’S COURT DRAMA There are claims Lady Gaga will be forced to take the stand in Kesha’s ongoing legal battle with music producer Dr Luke, 43. While Gaga, 31, was subpoenaed as a witness by Dr Luke’s legal team, she was only asked to hand over text messages she received from Kesha, 30, which allegedly expose a “smear campaign” against him. But a rep for Gaga insists, “She has provided all of the relevant information... and is at most an ancillary witness in this process. Dr Luke’s team is attempting to manipulate the truth and draw press attention.” Yikes! KATE’S STALKER SCARE Kate Beckinsale had a near miss with a crazed fan at Florida’s Tampa Bay Comic Con on July 29, when police arrested 45-year-old Iowa man…

She’s got a new love, a new acting career and a new lease on life. But Sam Frost’s ghosts of boyfriends past are coming back to haunt her amid rumours her ex Sasha Mielczarek is returning to The Bachelorette – this time as an intruder on Sophie Monk’s season. Say whaaat?! While Channel Ten won’t confirm or deny the hotties vying for Soph’s heart – only saying that the network “looks forward to revealing the contestants later this year” – rumour has it producers were keen to bring back an old face. And Sasha – who split with Sam in late December, just 18 months after nabbing her final rose on the first season of The Bachelorette – jumped at the chance to give it another crack. “He loves the…

Bachie BFFs Elora and Simone bonded big-time over their dislike for Jen and Leah – in fact, the pair have been virtually inseparable since their showdown with the villains in week one! Now, Elora and Simone are revealing why they refuse to play nice... “The girls would always complain and say Elora and I were the mean girls, because we weren’t socialising with anyone else,” says Simone, 25. “I think they were maybe envious of our relationship.” Off camera, things escalated quickly during the fight, with Jen and Leah turning the beef into a brawl – drinks flying! “It was heated – the girls were really dramatic and glasses broke. Wine went everywhere,” Elora, 27, reveals. “It was full-on. I had to walk away,” adds Simone. However, the girls reckon…

She says... “Matty and Laura look like brother and sister – and, you know, they say people who look alike usually end up together, so I think we’ve got a winner. They’ve definitely got good chemistry. And that kiss – they were going for a while! It wasn’t gross like Alex and Richie, though. Cobie and Matty are so cringe, though, hey? First of all, don’t ask for a kiss. If it were going to happen, it would have been when she sprayed him with water next to the horse. If he didn’t kiss ya then, then he’s not interested. And what was he going to say? ‘Uh, I’m not really vibing it, but here’s a rose?’ After that date, it was just a downward spiral for Cobie... She got…

Kylie Minogue’s still doing the Locomotion... or rather, the express train to Nashville! Yep, the singing budgie’s swapping her hotpants for Daisy Dukes as she gears up to release an album packed full of country flavour. And while Kyles has some big bootscootin’ boots to fill, she’s recording with some of the finest the country music capital has to offer – including Grammy-winner Nathan Chapman, who’s produced most of Taylor Swift’s albums. “Mixing the genre with her classic pop sound is an exciting prospect,” says an insider. Yee-haw!…

Well, it looks like Cara Delevingne has a new skill to add to her CV. Yep, the model and star of Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets surprised herself when she didn’t make a total, er, d**k of herself during a nude drawing class with Vanity Fair’s Derek Blasberg. “[This is] exactly what I wanted to do! If you know me well, you know that if I ever do autographs, I always find my doodles to be penises, like from Superbad,” she joked after clapping eyes on their starkers male model. “I really didn’t know that I’d draw anything – apart from a stick man. I’m not good, but I’m not terrible... I’m not the worst.”…

JOANNA VS BRANDI: ‘SMELLY VAGINA’ CASE CLOSED! The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville (below right) has apologised to The Real Housewives Of Miami star Joanna Krupa for claiming her vagina “smelled”. An attorney for Joanna, 38 – who filed a defamation suit against Brandi in 2015 – says the pair have reached a settlement. “I regret ever making such statements about Joanna Krupa,” says Brandi. “I never wanted my statements to affect Joanna’s reputation.” CALVIN’S GOT THE EX FACTOR Calvin Harris, 33, has found love in a not-so-hopeless place, with whispers he’s rekindled his romance with Aarika Wolf, 23 – the model he supposedly dumped back in 2015 for Taylor Swift. A source tells UK paper The Sun, “Aarika flew out to see Calvin DJ at his…

‘BRAD AND JEN ARE SO CLOSE TO SIGNING UP’ The first – and only! – time Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston appeared together on the small screen was in November 2001. The actor famously made a guest appearance on his then-wife’s hit series Friends as Will, an old high school pal of Monica’s who had beef with Jen’s character Rachel. Now, almost 16 years later, the former golden couple are gearing up for a TV reunion of epic proportions. Yep, last week it was revealed that Jen’s good mate Jimmy Kimmel wants to “make history” by having her and Brad, 53, appear together on his late-night chat show. And there’s even speculation the former couple have already filmed the bombshell TV special, after Jen was seen leaving Jimmy’s LA studio.…

NICK & NADIA Married At First Sight’s Nick Furphy is on a total babe binge following his split from Sharon Marsh. Amid rumours he’s crushing on Alex Nation, he was recently spied flirting with co-star Nadia Stamp. Meanwhile, Nick admits there was “a little jealousy” from Shaz about the other women in his life. MEGAN & TIFF Forget Richie Strahan – Bachie babes Megan Marx and Tiffany Scanlon ended up falling for each other! The girls even packed their bags and moved to Bali together before splitting in March. DAVE & SARAH-MAE Dave Billsborrow went on The Bachelorette to win Sam’s heart, but after she sent him packing, he dated her bestie Sarah-Mae Amey, who was on Bachie Tim Robards’s season. Talk about (fewer than!) six degrees of separation... JESSE…

Eighties fashion wasn’t kind to anyone, and Wills and Harry were no exception – no thanks to their mum! “I genuinely think that she got satisfaction out of dressing myself and William up in the most bizarre outfits,” Haz says. “[It’s] one thing I would love to ask her now... Looking back at the photos it just makes me laugh and I think, ‘How could you do that to us?’”…

‘HE’S A DOMINEERING FIGURE IN HER LIFE’ The gory poster for Jennifer Lawrence’s upcoming thriller Mother! is downright creepy, depicting the actress with her chest ripped open while handing someone her bloody heart. But it’s nothing compared to the hold the film’s director – and J-Law’s much-older boyfriend – Darren Aronofsky apparently has over her. According to UK mag Grazia, an extra from the set of the movie wrote an eye-opening Facebook post during filming, revealing, “All I can say is that I’m mind blown by… [Jennifer’s] undying patience and devotion in what she does. I would have personally walked out the door ASAP. “Swallowing the amount of crap and yelling [Jennifer] has to take in and redoing a perfect performance over and over a hundred times for a fussy…

A CHER THING! It’s not like anyone could have played her better, but Alicia Silverstone, 40, wasn’t the first Betty considered for the role of Cher in 1995’s Clueless. Yep, Sarah Michelle Gellar, also 40, turned down the gig due to conflicting schedules with her role on TV soapie All My Children. Like, whatever! RUN, JOHN, RUN! And that’s exactly what John Travolta did. Yep, when the Grease star said, “No, ma’am,” to the lead role in 1994’s Forrest Gump, it was offered to Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Sean Penn, before Tom Hanks eventually came on board. John, 63, later admitted turning it down was a mistake, no doubt because Tom, 61, won an Oscar for it! OCEAN’S APART Mark Wahlberg thanks his lucky stars he turned down the…

‘It’s good to indulge occasionally,’ says Em. ‘I think it is really important to give yourself a break.’ That’s why the Flex Diet includes a cheat day! Dreaming of finally scoring a flat tummy like Emily Ratajkowski’s? Us, too! Well, fantasise no more, because CSIRO scientists reckon they’ve found the ultimate weight-loss solution in the form of the Flexi Diet! Folks who embarked on the plan during a controlled study dropped a whopping 11kg on average over 16 weeks and saw improvements in their insulin, glucose and cholesterol levels, as well as blood pressure. “In addition to improvement in weight loss and overall health, we also observed psychological improvements, with participants indicating better control over eating habits,” explains CSIRO research dietitian Jane Bowen. What is it ? Based around personalised…

3 GENERATIONS When New York teen Ray (Elle Fanning) transitions from female to male, he and his mum Maggie (Naomi Watts) have to convince his lesbian grandmother Dolly (Susan Sarandon) and his estranged dad Craig (Tate Donovan) that life isn’t about what gender you’re assigned at birth or your sexuality – it’s about being true to yourself.

It’s not exactly #goals to have your mother tag along on what’s supposed to be a romantic, once-in-a-lifetime holiday with your boyfriend. But when Instagram addict Emily (Amy Schumer) is dumped the night before jetting off to South America, she asks worrywart mother Linda (Goldie Hawn) to help her “put the fun in nonrefundable”. Snatched sees the duo live it up at a resort in Ecuador, but their trip quickly turns to disaster when they’re, er, snatched – or in Emily’s words, “Liam Neesontaken”! – by a crime lord. Uptight Linda and free-spirited Emily are forced to put their differences aside if they want to bust out of their bungle. And in typical Amy and Goldie style, the path to freedom proves to be one wild, hilarious journey. Snatched is…

Vicki Gunvalson’s the OG from the OC. And in her 11 seasons on the show, she’s been through it all – breakups, make-ups and the odd violent dinner party or two. But last season really brought the drama, when Vicki was forced to deal with the fallout after her then-boyfriend Brooks Ayers faked cancer in 2015. The other ladies pointed fingers, suggesting Vicki was in on the scam – something she denies. Then, of course, her friendship with Tamra Judge finally imploded – seemingly for good – after Vicki spread rumours that her former BFF’s husband Eddie was gay. And now, with Season 12 on our screens, Vicki, 55, tells NW she’s ready to leave the past right there. Here, she spills on co-star Shannon Beador’s weight gain, the truth…

She’s famous for her ample assets – FYI, she’s a DD-cup – but Coco Austin’s chest was next-level out of control in a recent Insty video that shows her splashing about in barely there bathers. We don’t know where to look! But it turns out her flashy display was all a paid demonstration for The Perfect Sculpt’s Push-Up bikini... which we can see works very well, indeed!…

Nicole Richie, Cameron Diaz, Lake Bell and designer Jennifer Meyer gave us serious #squadgoals as they posed up with Mariah Carey and pals ahead of the singer’s concert with Nic’s dad Lionel Richie at LA’s Hollywood Bowl last week. And while Cam was all smiles, we suspect she may have had earplugs in her pocket, given that back in ’98 she called Mimi’s music “torture”. Awks!…

OK, so it’s actually a super-expensive coat, but still! Yep, she may have her boyfriend Zayn Malik to cosy up to, but Gigi Hadid has back-up for extra-cold nights. Appearing in Missoni’s Autumn/Winter 2017 campaign, wrapped in cosy knits from the Italian brand, Gi looked ready for her hottest cold season ever! Sorry, Zayn-your services may no longer be needed...…

OK, first-world problems, but keeping my phone storage down has become my full-time job. For anyone who’s got a chockers phone, you know the pain. I’ve got a massive 128GB of space, but no matter how much I trash, it’s still never enough. (Might also be the 47,945 pics in my Camera Roll and 8,209 selfies. Awks!) Needless to say, I’m constantly deleting what feels like my whole life, but for every app that goes, another pops up in its place. I’ve got apps for just about everything. I’m even getting into games. Yep, I’m officially a “gamer” and I’m addicted to Candy Crush – and no, this is not a paid endorsement. When I heard Candy Crush was a new NW client, I downloaded the game just to get…

Miley Cyrus may have learnt to love the skin she’s in, but that’s not stopping her from ditching the kilos ahead of her wedding to Liam Hemsworth. While the lovebirds are still keeping details of their big day under wraps, we’ve been told that the Malibu singer can’t stop, won’t stop working out in preparation for her walk down the aisle – and has lost almost 10kg thanks to an intensive boot camp focused on cardio and yoga. “She did the program for two weeks and plans on doing another two-week stretch next month,” a pal says of the long-time Ashtanga yoga practitioner. “She looks incredible, very toned and super-slim.” Of course, Miley’s vegan diet – which she adopted in 2014 after the death of her beloved pooch Floyd –…

‘HE WAS ORDERED TO UNDERGO THERAPY’ Her husband was put in the psych ward after being handcuffed to a gurney and rushed to hospital last November, but Kim Kardashian has long downplayed the dramatic events surrounding Kanye West’s worrying meltdown. “[It’s] forcing him to take much needed time off, which I think he just really needs,” she later said in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. But almost a year on, the real story about Ye’s disturbing breakdown has finally been revealed. NW has learnt that Kim gave a sworn testimony about Ye’s collapse as part of the rapper’s legal battle with his insurance company over the cancellation of his Saint Pablo Tour. The news follows reports that more than 20 hours of secret video footage was taken…

When it comes to their future together, Khloe Kardashian says she and her boyfriend Tristan Thompson are very much on the same page. “[I’ve] never been in this type of love,” she gushes, adding that she’d absolutely say yes if he popped the question. “Tristan and I definitely talk about starting a family.” But while that may be so, getting to their happily ever after is not without its problems – as we hear KoKo and the Cleveland Cavaliers basketballer have come to major blows about signing a prenup agreement! “Khloe knows Tristan’s only got a limited time earning a big salary from basketball – 10 more years, tops – whereas she’ll be earning money until the day she dies,” an insider tells NW. “The disparity in their estimated future…

Uh-oh! Model Lisa, 24, may be a fan fave, but she’s said to be causing headaches for producers, with insiders revealing she’s been told she’s too boring for TV! “They sat her down and told her to speak up and have fun when the cameras are around,” spills the source. “Beauty isn’t enough to win Matty’s heart – producers really believed she could go all the way if she just opened up a bit more.” But Leah, 24, tells NW she thinks Lisa needs to go – pronto! “She’s the most boring human I’ve ever met, and we had to be together for so many weeks and I didn’t get more than five words out of her,” she says. “It’s like, ‘There’s no depth to you – go home.’” Yikes!…

A series of discreet dinner dates between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere has sparked speculation they could soon be turning their reel-life chemistry into a real-life romance! Yep, US Star mag claimed last week that the Pretty Woman and Runaway Bride co-stars have been meeting up all over LA in recent months, doing their utmost to ensure they stay under the radar. “They’ll book a quiet table at the back of the restaurant, sometimes even a private room, where they’ll be left uninterrupted and can even stay past closing hours,” says the mag’s source. Of course, Jules, 49, is married to cinematographer Danny Moder, while Richard, 67, is currently dating Spanish socialite Alejandra Silva. But the source reckons they should bite the bullet and become a couple, noting that their…

WILL THE REAL QUEEN BEE PLEASE STAND UP? It turns out the hardest role to cast in Mean Girls was Regina George! Lindsay Lohan, 31, was approached to play The Plastics villain before producers cast her as Cady Heron instead. Director Mark Waters says “intimidating” Rachel McAdams, 38 – who auditioned for Cady – and “frightening” Amanda Seyfried, 31, were neck-and-neck for the role of Regina, until someone suggested casting Amanda as airhead Karen Smith. JANUARY’S MAD MISSION January Jones, 39, was perfection as bored housewife Betty Draper in hit series Mad Men, but she was originally up for a very different role. “I came in for Peggy twice,” she says, a part which ended up going to Elisabeth Moss, 35. TOO WILDE FOR MARISSA Olivia Wilde lost the role…

Whether you love her or hate her, one thing’s for certain – Kylie Jenner isn’t going anywhere. Especially now she’s branching out from the reality franchise that made her famous to star in her own spin-off series. Yep, welcome to the Life Of Kylie. Admittedly, we’re not entirely sure what else there is in her private life that she can show us, thanks to all those half-hour Snapchat stories she shares... Still, despite the fact she’s graced our screens since the age of 10 on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kylie, who turns 20 this week, says there’s a lot we don’t know about her. “Life Of Kylie is much more intimate than Keeping Up With The Kardashians... I open myself more,” she says. “The viewers get a look behind…

BACHELORS ARMS! From the tux to the rose to the crazy good looks, Liam has a lot in common with our current Bachie Matty J. CHARIOT AWAITS Liam even has his own limo ready to rock up to his Bachie mansion. One thing’s for sure – he can take us for a spin in his town car any day! #sorrynotsorry DOUBLE DATE Liam and his Isn’t It Romantic co-star Priyanka Chopra give off major Bachie first-date vibes – hello, Matty and Laura! – on set in New York. He might be headed to the chapel with fiancée Miley Cyrus, but if Liam Hemsworth were still a single man, he’d definitely be Bachie material! Uh-huh, the Aussie hunk looked like he’d stepped straight off the set of the reality show as…

Sixth time lucky? This young singer is so desperate to become a mum that she recently took six pregnancy tests after suspecting she might be up the duff. While the first test was positive, the other five were negative – much to the relief of her boyfriend, who apparently doesn’t believe in kids before marriage and thinks it’s wrong for girls to trap a guy by falling pregnant! Oink, oink ! This young actress on a hit TV show hates her nose and thinks it makes her look like Miss Piggy! She booked in for a nose job a few times, only to back out at the last minute. No, she’s not a chicken – it’ll just be too weird for her character to suddenly have a new schnoz. Tatt’s…

She’s considered by many to be a style icon – OK, by many we mean her hubby Kanye West! – but we’re seriously tempted to revoke Kim Kardashian’s fashion kween krown following her latest sartorial serving. Uh-huh, the reality star had heads turning and jaws dropping when she stepped out to lunch at Chin Chin in LA recently, sporting a pair of reinforced pants with strange stitching that resembled a nappy! But that’s not the only thing these terrible tights remind us of... LADY LUMPS Before Kimmy, Bella Hadid was rocking a rather, er, bulked-up bulge herself while heading to New York’s Gotham Gym. Maybe she’s just carrying a spare pair of sport socks for later?…
