She is everyone’s favourite golden girl, but Julia Roberts uncharacteristically snapped back at a troll on Instagram last week after they criticised her nail polish. And sadly, that’s not the only sign the beloved star is feeling a little tense these days. Amid reports her weight has plummeted to just 46kg, onlookers were stunned by Julia’s rail-thin frame at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of her new flick Ben Is Back on September 8 (see right). Fans also noticed the star’s ribs were painfully visible in her cut out Dsquared2 gown. Several US outlets have claimed that the 50-year-old Oscar winner’s estimated 20kg weight loss is the result of ongoing marital problems with her husband of 16 years Danny Moder, 49, as well as her jam-packed work schedule. “All the…

A string of Hollywood’s hottest hunks are shaking in their boots, worried that they’ll be the next name from Mel B’s little black book to be publicly revealed! Last week, it was reported the former Spice Girl shagged Zac Efron, 30, following her split from ex-hubby Stephen Belafonte last year. And it came just days after the mother of three’s former nanny Rusty Updegraff alleged Mel, 43, also slept with pop star Aaron Carter, 30. “Mel loves her young studs and she’s hinted that there are a few more famous names on her list,” spills NW’s insider. “She’s never been ashamed of her sexuality, and word is that it’s got a lot of young men in her circle nervous.” And it’s no wonder, given the juicy details that have emerged…

Ange is on the warpath and she’s willing to use every trick in the book to get under Jen’s skin – including dating her ex-hubby Justin Theroux! “When Angie was in NYC recently, she got a hold of Justin via his team under the guise of talking about a movie role with him,” reveals a friend. But when Justin, 47, agreed to dinner – at his fave restaurant, no less – things swiftly changed from business to pleasure. “Before long, Angelina had Justin under her spell,” continues the insider. “There was instant chemistry and they ended up talking all night. Afterwards, Justin raved to pals that he’d had dinner with the most beautiful and fascinating woman in the world.”…

They just celebrated six years of marriage on September 9, but insiders say Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are still very much in the honeymoon phase. In fact, they could be about to welcome two new bubs into their picture-perfect family! Buzz is swirling that Blake, 31, is in the early stages of another pregnancy. And sources tell NW the couple – who are already parents to adorbs daughters James, three, and Inez, who turns two this month – have their fingers crossed they’re having twins this time around. Bubs on the brain “They’ve always envisioned having their kids close in age, so right now the timing would be perfect,” says the close friend. “They’ve always talked about having more kids and how fun it would be to have a…

Not too long ago, Katie was a successful businesswoman who’d built an empire as a glamour model, reality TV star and author. Beloved by fans and devoted to her five children – Harvey, Junior, Princess, Jett and Bunny – Katie and her ex-husbands Peter, Alex Reid and Kieran often appeared on the covers of UK mags sharing insights into family life in the once-palatial West Sussex mansion they called home. But since the breakdown of her marriage to Kieran in May, Katie’s unravelled. After a passionate five-month fling with 29-year-old Kris (below), Katie’s moved on with toyboy Alex, with whom she partied in Majorca (bottom right). “He’s a playboy,” warns pals. “Katie’s playing with fire.” Fingers crossed she doesn’t get burnt...…

You can take the girl out of Tennessee, but you can’t take Tennessee out of the girl. Yep, locals say Miley Cyrus has had no trouble settling back into life in Franklin – a city 34km south of Nashville – after leaving Malibu behind. Indeed, the singer and her rumoured hubby Liam Hemsworth are loving the simple life at their wooded 13.5-hectare country hideaway, which is just down the road from the farm of Miley’s parents, Billy Ray and Tish. And with all that nesting, neighbours are buzzing that a baby might be on the way! “Miley is a Tennessee girl, and she’s put down roots here – she’s ready to slow it down,” says Ron Sacia, who regularly serves Miley at his antique store Cool Stuff Weird Things. “She…

Since her debut as sassy Kelly Bundy on the ’90s hit Married With Children , Christina Applegate has continued to light up screens in Anchorman , Bad Moms and more! Her personal life hasn’t been all laughs, though. The 46-year-old underwent a double mastectomy in 2008 after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She later revealed that she’d also had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed after tests revealed that she carried a gene mutation predisposing her to ovarian cancer. “That’s how I’ve taken control of everything. It’s a relief,” says Christina, who’s married to musician Martyn LeNoble and has a daughter Sadie, seven. “That’s one other thing off the table. Now let’s hope I don’t get hit by a bus.”…

When 3.30-itis kicks in, it’s safe to say we all grab the lolly jar for a sugar rush. But those sweet treats only make us crash harder later on, making that final hour of work seem like a lifetime. Processed foods won’t get you through, so snack on healthy fats like avocado, or proteins that will fill you up. If none of that sounds enticing, a low-carb goodie like Atkins Endulge Cherry Coconut bars have the taste of a cheeky Cherry Ripe – minus the guilt. About 1g of sugar and 1.4g of carbs per bar? Yes please! We’re headed to Woolworths for our box of five ($13.50) to get through the working week!…

Sarah Jessica Parker’s daughter Loretta Broderick went off to school recently rocking a scrunchie on her wrist and we are shook! Why? Because SJP’s Sex And The City character Carrie Bradshaw was famously not a fan of the ’80s hair accessory. Who can forget when she told boyfie Berger, “No woman would be caught dead wearing a scrunchie.” But times – and fashions – change, and we think Loretta looks adorbs!…

Sure, I’m not the most adventurous person when it comes to style, but I think we can all agree 2018 fashion is taking a major step into WTF territory. Yep, trends have been moving in a bizarre direction lately, and the recent New York Fashion Week left the NW-ettes scratching their heads and wondering what the hell they’ll be wearing next season. From sleeping bags to garbage bags – and even wine-cooler handbags! – we’ve rounded up some of the wackier creations on page 50. Then you’ve got the world’s top celebrity designers – Victoria Beckham and Kanye West – acting like total kooks in their latest ventures (see page 76). Be right back – just grabbing some sticky tape, feathers, a box and garbage bags for Saturday night’s outfit.…

Ashley Olsen’s relationship with artist Louis Eisner started off as friendship, but now sources say it’s blossomed into full-blown romance. “It’s only been about a year, but they’re very serious,” an insider dishes on Ash and Louis, who were seen out in LA together on August 28. At 30, Louis is half the age of Ash’s most recent exes – 59-year-old Richard Sachs, who she split from in March 2017, and 60-year-old George Condo. “I’m sure her friends are breathing a sigh of relief that finally she’s has found someone close to her own age,” continues the insider. “She’s having fun. In July, they went to Europe together to celebrate his birthday. They had a wonderful time. They have so much in common and she loves that he’s an artist.…

‘ANGE HATES THAT EVERYONE STILL ROOTS FOR BRAD AND JEN’ As she stepped out to do some back-to-school shopping with her kids at Fred Segal in LA on September 10, it was clear Ange’s ongoing custody battle with Brad was taking its toll on her. “Ange has stopped eating almost entirely and has now dropped to 34kg,” reports US Star magazine. “She feels as if she’s being battered from all sides... Ange is an emotional and physical wreck – and she’s on the verge of collapse!” While Ange has lost a lot of weight in the past while under pressure, Star reports that “it’s never been this bad... She needs help, and fast.”…

Katie Price is having the worst year of her life. Her third marriage to Kieran Hayler has broken down acrimoniously, her mum Amy is battling a terminal lung disease, and the 40-year-old star – who was once worth $80 million – is said to be perilously close to bankruptcy. But rather than face up to her escalating problems, the buxom Brit babe seems to be dealing with the drama the only way she knows how – by returning to full-on “Jordan” mode. Indeed, late last month Katie jetted to the Spanish party isle of Majorca for a friend’s hen’s party. And it was clearly a wild vacay, as shocking video footage has emerged of the mother of five allegedly doing drugs with two German men she met at the island’s…

Keith Urban welcomed two special guests backstage at his August 24 concert in Nashville – his wife Nicole Kidman and her Big Little Lies co-star Reese Witherspoon. Reese even shared a photo of the trio – all flashing big smiles – on her Instagram. “Last night in #nashville,” she captioned the happy snap. “Hanging with my friends.” But the cosy scene quickly turned sour. “Nicole and Reese got into an argument,” an insider tells In Touch mag. “A negative text about Nicole from another actress on Big Little Lies popped up on Reese’s phone, and Nicole saw it!” The timing couldn’t have been worse. Yep, Reese, 42, and Nicole, 51, had only just forged a fragile truce after Nicole decided to team up with Reese’s former producing partner for a…

‘CINDY THINKS KAIA’S UNDER TOO MUCH PRESSURE’ Since her highly anticipated runway debut at New York Fashion Week last September, Kaia Gerber’s rise to the top of the modelling pack has been nothing short of meteoric. But while the It-girl’s star continues to ascend, her mum Cindy Crawford’s fears for Kaia’s wellbeing are also growing. Indeed, Kaia – who turned 17 on September 3 – looked gaunt in a cropped jacket and miniskirt at the launch of her Karl Lagerfeld X Kaia capsule collection on August 30. “Cindy can see Kaia is getting thinner and she’s worried she’s not taking good care of herself,” an insider tells NW. “She’s trying to be as supportive as possible of Kaia’s career and knows that [any weight loss] is probably because of stress.…

Jocelyn “Catwoman” Wildenstein better watch her back – because Madonna and a litter of other ladies seem to be coming for her queen of the animal kingdom crown! Yep, the Material Girl showed off a frighteningly frozen face in London on September 6. And it wasn’t too long before the internet’s claws came out... “She turning into a real life cougar,” one commentator wrote of the toyboy-loving star. Miaow! Madge, 60, insists she hasn’t desperately sought out a surgeon to keep her looking like a virgin – but does admit she’s not against it. “I don’t like the idea of someone putting you to sleep then taking knives to you,” she once said. “I’m not going to hold a press conference if I have plastic surgery. I think about it…

Jennifer Love Hewitt was supposed to appear in only nine episodes of Party Of Five as Sarah Reeves. But she proved so popular she wound up in a whopping 100 eps – then transitioned to starring roles in hit movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer . After taking a break from showbiz to raise kids Atticus, three, and Autumn, four, with actor hubby Brian Hallisay, the Ghost Whisperer star has returned to the small screen on Channel Seven’s 9-1-1 . Going back to work has been “a hard adjustment,” J.Love, 39, says. “Much harder on me than my kids.”…

Nothing screams “sexy” like a thigh-high slit or leggy dress. But the key to pulling it off comes down to – you guessed it – great legs! First up: hair removal. For those sneaky hairs, whip out your razor or at-home wax strips. Next, buff away any scaly skin using a scrub, sweeping in round motions to boost circulation. For your fake tan, this newbie from St Tropez goes on like water, develops into a beautiful golden tan and doesn’t need to be rinsed off (hallelujah!). Finally, moisturiser. If cream feels too thick during the warmer months, swap to a body serum or an ultra moisturising foam instead. Pssst! Contouring your legs is a thing! Pop some illuminating cream or a powder highlighter down your shins and let them shine.…

Ariana Grande has put her wedding to Pete Davidson on hold as she mourns the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller, who passed away from a suspected drug overdose on September 7 at age 26. “She’s so upset and tears up at the mention of his name,” reveals a close friend. “She can’t believe he’s gone. She’s completely gutted over this and secretly she must be feeling like she’s cursed. First the Manchester terrorist attack [at her concert in May 2017], now this...” Of course, friends have reassured the “inconsolable” star that these things are out of her control, and that she shouldn’t blame herself for what’s happened. But “she still does”. Despite Ari and Mac’s split in May, pals say the singer, 25, was still trying to help…

For the past eight weeks, Jennifer Aniston has been enjoying the European summer while she’s filmed Murder Mystery, her new Netflix comedy with Adam Sandler, in exotic locations such as Milan and Prague. But the star recently returned to LA – and she wasn’t given a warm welcome home. NW hears that no sooner had Jen touched down in Tinseltown than she received a nasty phone call from her arch rival Angelina Jolie, who warned the Friends actress to keep away from her kids!

Is the winner heartbroken already? Just weeks out from the final rose, it’s sensationally been claimed that Bachelor Nick Cummins is single again, after calling it quits with his winning lady. “[Nick’s] relationship is already over,” a source told the Mail Online. “This is obviously not what we wanted.” But has he already moved on? Nick threw a major spanner in the works by stepping out in Sydney late on September 8 with a mystery brunette on his arm! “So no-one wins. New chick in town,” wrote an eagle-eyed fan on Snapchat, after filming Nick and his unnamed beauty in the beachside suburb of Manly at around 10pm. “He looked pretty relaxed and didn’t seem to be trying to hide anything,” says an onlooker, who notes the pair seemed to…

She has a good head on her shoulders and Cindy thinks she’s a great influence on Kaia,” reveals NW’s insider.

Selena Gomez is the picture of health. And unlike some of her contemporaries who swear they just “woke up like this”, the 26-year-old starlet has been very vocal about the work she’s put into her physical and mental health – particularly when she was diagnosed with lupus and underwent a kidney transplant. A year down the track, the singer is stronger than ever. So how does Selena get that glow? It’s all about balance. She’s nourishing her insides with healthy wholefoods but doesn’t deprive herself of her favourite treats – and when it comes to working out, she does what feels good.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie – no, no, no! That seemed to be Brad Pitt’s thinking after he dropped out of the sci-fi flick The Fountain just weeks before it was due to start filming in Sydney.
