They’re the two women left broken-hearted after Nick “The Honey Badger” Cummins dumped them during last week’s The Bachelor finale. And now Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman are telling all about the decision that has Australians everywhere requesting a refund for wasting two months watching what turned out to be an unsuccessful quest for love. Indeed, after being dealt the biggest blows of their lives, Britt and Soph tell NW exclusively that they’re still single after all this time, unable to shake the very real feelings they each had for The Honey Badger. “Up until the twelfth hour, Nick was saying that we were perfect and that our compatibility was through the roof,” Britt says. “I think you could see the exact moment our hearts broke on TV.” “I haven’t…

She’s one of the world’s most beautiful women, but life hasn’t always been picture-perfect for Gisele Bündchen. In a new interview with People magazine, the supermodel reveals she contemplated suicide at the height of her success. “I had a wonderful position in my career... and I always considered myself a positive person, so I was really beating myself up,” Gisele, 38, explained ahead of her just-released memoir, Lessons: My Path To A Meaningful Life. “Your world becomes smaller and smaller, and you can’t breathe, which is the worst feeling I’ve ever had. “Everything had become a cage, and I was the animal trapped inside,” she added. “I couldn’t stand another day of feeling this way. The idea swept over me then: maybe it will be easier if I just jump.…

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s two-year divorce battle has been rumbling on for as long as their ill-fated marriage lasted, with insiders saying the stars are deadlocked and being forced to head to trial to settle the custody plan for their six kids once and for all. And NW hears that the pair’s drawn-out legal dramas are being taken to the next level, with Ange dragging their children into the mess by making them testify! Something tells us this won’t end well... “The divorce has turned off-the-charts ugly, and Brad and Angelina are ready to expose each other’s deepest and darkest secrets in court to achieve their goals,” reveals a source. “Brad is meeting with lawyers every other day – he’s tired of Angelina making him out to be the…

Pushing his legal troubles aside for the night, Brad showed up to the Silverlake Conservatory of Music 2018 Annual Benefit and Art Auction in LA on September 29 – and was spotted getting cosy with celeb spiritual guru and jewellery designer Sat Hari Khalsa. While the pair are yet to confirm whether they are officially a thing, they certainly have plenty in common. Not only are they both super-spiritual, but Sat is friendly with Brad’s ex Jennifer Aniston, who’s worn a number of pieces from her Amrit collection. Hmm, that may make things a little awky!…

You can’t keep a good dowager down – and we’re delighted to see Maggie Smith’s sharp-tongued Violet Crawley front and centre in the cinema sequel to Downton Abbey! After the series ended in 2015, the plan was always to continue the story on the big screen. With a script by creator Julian Fellowes, the movie (slated for release next year) started filming in the UK on September 10. And there was Maggie on set, despite having sniped last year, “I just think [a movie would be] squeezing it dry”. She even suggested proceedings could open with Violet’s funeral! Fortunately, the doyenne of Downton is alive and well, joining favourites Robert (Hugh Bonneville), Cora (Elizabeth McGovern), Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Carson (Jim Carter), plus virtually every other character who was part…

After three years of dating, Sandra Bullock admits her partner Bryan Randall has become the perfect parent to her two adopted children Louis, eight, and Laila, six. “For the kids, he’s sort of Number One and I’m Number Two,” the Ocean’s 8 star says of the silver-fox photographer. “But I get it, because he’s more fun and has better treats.” And it looks like the good times are here to stay, as NW hears Bryan is now officially Louis and Laila’s stepdad! Yep, he and Sandy tied the knot in secret at her ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, late last month. So sneaky! “They’re very coy on this subject, even though Bryan wears what everyone assumes is a wedding band on his left hand every day,” reveals a pal. “But…

Bella’s got one of the most gorgeous faces on the planet, but plastic surgery experts reckon she may have had a helping hand to achieve it. It’s been suggested Bella’s had fillers to accentuate her cheekbones and define her jawline. Mark Norfolk, clinical director at Transform in the UK, also believes she’s had a “subtle rhinoplasty”. A source agrees that Bella’s possibly had work done, and says she could have spent upwards of $55,000 fine-tuning her money-making mug! Still, Bella is adamant that she’s never gone under the knife, and recently blasted, “We can do a scan of my face, darling... I wouldn’t want to mess up my face”. You tell ’em, babes!…

While we may spend our lives on the wrong side of the velvet rope – leaning over for a sneaky peek at a flaming bottle of Grey Goose – for our favourite celebrities, attending extravagant parties is as regular as a slobby night on the sofa for us. Yep, we’ve spent hours scrolling through all the Instagram stories of the likes of the Hadids or Cara Delevingne, just to get a glimpse of their hedonistic lifestyles. But what actually goes into pulling one of these mega-parties off? Having planned multiple occasions for Adele, as well as helping Elton John throw a bash for his valet, party planner extraordinaire Steven Duggan knows what he’s doing when it comes to show-stopping events, “[Elton] was very heavily involved because it meant so much…

‘I’m a bit scared of commitment’ PADDY, 27, GYM MANAGER, VIC Er, do you know what show you’re on Paddy? The Irish funnyman confesses to NW that he’s ready to take a stab at love with Ali. “I think I’m scared of commitment. I want to be able to overcome that barrier, and whether that’s with Ali, time will tell,” he says. And this Bachelorette could be the one to change his pattern! Paddy says he “100 per cent wants kids – two boys and one girl preferably”, and his only deal-breakers are “huge feet – or a girl that’s taller than me. I’m not being rude, but not my style!” ‘ I was in love with Carly from MAFS’ ROBERT, 29, PLUMBER, VIC Hunky Italian Rob tells NW he’s…

Two TONE Forget colour blocking, spliced hues are the best way to embrace colour this season. Go big and bold with bright combos like pink and red. High VIS The highlight of the runway? Neon brights in punchy pinks and vibrant greens. Neons might not be for everybody, but try sunglasses or footwear for a subtle way to wear the trend. That ’70s SHOW Boho is back, but with a glamour-girl twist! Think pussy bow blouses, suede and retro sunglasses. Arthouse DESIGNS It’s a case of life wearing art with this graceful trend. Get the look down to a fine art by opting for bold, abstract strokes and delicate line drawings. Gloss OVER Go plastic fantastic with wet-look vinyl, which instantly adds high-end appeal to your wardrobe. Even better? Wiping…

Forget slaving away for a six-pack, there’s a new tone-up target celebrities are focusing on – and it’s all about the shoulders. Perfect for those off-shoulder dresses we’ll be rocking this spring, the latest trend is about working hard to make sure your upper body is the star attraction. Blake Lively Those in awe of mum-of-two Blake’s awesome upper arms take note: her trainer claims you don’t need to be hitting the gym non-stop to get the same look! “More intensity does not necessarily mean better,” the star’s PT Don Saladino explains. “The idea that the more you sweat, the better the training? It’s completely false. You can do a lot with training only three days a week.” For 31-year-old Blake – who gained 27 kgs of baby weight before…

Buzz is building that Dr Chris Brown is our next Bachelor – and it’s got you all in a tizz! Now that’s a season I’d watch Kiah Stewart Applying right now! Trennae Leigh Myles Shut up where are my divorce papers Kylie Johnson facebook.com/nwmagazine Instagram @nwmag twitter.com/nwmag nwgoss@bauer-media. com.au what YOU say...

‘NO-ONE COULD PAY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING BESIDES CHRIS’S BODY’ Take a bunch of shady characters, add in a mysterious hotel and an A-list cast, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a five-star movie. In fact, Chris Hemsworth – who stars as charismatic cult leader Billy Lee in Bad Times At The El Royale – says it’s “one of the best” scripts he’s ever read. Big call! “It’s got a kind of Tarantino energy to it,” gushes the Aussie star. “It’s a thriller and a drama, but there are some humorous moments – in an insane way. I just want to be surprised. I have a real fear of being bored.” But you won’t be bored for a minute in this fast-paced flick about a sketchy hotel with even sketchier…

“There were no icons there. Kate [Moss] and I were at home on the couch watching TV.” Naomi Campbell missed Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s fight at Harper’s Bazaar’s Icons bash. “Forget cakes or desserts or cookies. She’d much rather have, like, a second go at pasta.” Sounds like Chrissy Teigen’s daughter Luna will eat her mum’s share, too! “Early on, I didn’t get a role because they said I wasn’t ‘f**kable’.” Get out, Bradley Cooper?! ‘They’ should be forced to watch Silver Linings Playbook 64,000 times to make amends!…

THIS WEEK IN... 2006 All was not well for Britney Spears, with the singer’s marriage to Kevin Federline taking a toxic turn following reports he’d been cavorting with strippers – just one month after Brit gave birth to their second son Jayden. K-Fed was about to release his widely-panned debut album, appropriately titled Playing With Fire , and the pair would begin divorce proceedings before the year was out. Meanwhile, Brit’s pal Paris Hilton wasn’t living the high life after she was busted in possession of marijuana and faced further police investigation. Eek! 2001  Jennifer Lopez walked down the aisle with Cris Judd (it lasted a year), while George Clooney was reported to be smitten with Renee Zellweger! 2003 Love hasn’t always led the way for Victoria…

A shameless self-promoter? Some have accused Nick of only going on the show to pimp his profile, as well as his new book The Honey Badger Guide To Life . A total ass? Meanwhile, others have suggested that, like most athletes, he may just be a player who was having fun at everyone’s expense. Or had he already found love? THE PROOF BROOKE TOOK NICK BACK!  Fan favourite Brooke Blurton broke viewers – and Nick’s – hearts when she quit the show right before the finale. But whispers are growing that the pair have reconnected in the months since filming wrapped, and are now dating on the down-low. OMG! Back in August, Nick told NW that he agreed to do the show after…

They’ve long been one of our favourite couples. But sources fear Nicole Richie and Joel Madden could soon be announcing the sad news that they’re pulling the plug on their seven-year marriage! Whaaat?! The crazy claims that things may be amiss between the couple began when Nicole, 37, was spotted looking frail and stressed at the Saint Laurent show during Paris Fashion Week on September 25. “She’s always been on the skinny side, but she seems to have lost even more weight and there’s a gauntness around her eyes,” observed one insider. Meanwhile, 39-year-old Joel was in LA, and was spotted leaving a club with a friend that same night. Days later, Nicole flew back to the States. And onlookers have since claimed that she and Joel looked noticeably tense…

I will be your father figure! Is there a mini George Michael running around out there? The National Enquirer has made the bold claim that there is – and he could stand to inherit the late singer’s $272 million estate. Though openly gay, George has admitted he also used to bed women back in his popstar heyday. “I used to sleep with women quite a lot... but never felt it could develop into a relationship because I was gay,” he said. And according to the Enquirer , George had an affair with a Swedish woman who became pregnant with his child. Far from turning his back on the boy, George allegedly provided for him and kept in contact with both his former fling…

The most sensitive of Brad and Ange’s kids, Shiloh, is really feeling the fallout from her parents’ divorce. “It’s been two years and she is still struggling – it’s just one upheaval after another,” a source tells US Star magazine of the 12-year-old. Now, the tween has taken to acting out in protest. “She gets into fights with her brothers and just pummels them,” gasps an insider. “Shiloh is taking out her frustration on her siblings.” And she’s also targetting her once-beloved dad, Brad! Sources say the youngster refuses to take his calls and often acts like she hates him. “If Brad and Angie don’t nip their damaging behaviour in the bud, Shiloh could be destroyed for life,” sighs Star’s source.…

When Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick whisked their three kids away for a family vacay to New York City last week, the clan looked every inch the happy family. After checking into the same hotel, the exes grabbed lunch at Bar Pitti together, where they were seen sharing jokes. They then returned to their ritzy digs with their children Mason, eight, Penelope, six, and Reign, three, in tow. “They want the kids to feel like they are still a family,” a source told People magazine. But could there be more than just bonding behind their cosy weekend? Like plans for baby number four perhaps?! Last year, Kourt confessed if she was to add to her family, she’d want Scott to be the dad again. “I feel like I would have…

Wedding bells were ringing in The Hamptons on September 29, as Gwyneth Paltrow consciously coupled with TV producer Brad Falchuk in a private ceremony attended by Tinseltown’s A-list. For the couple of four years, their special day played out under gorgeous white marquees set up in the grounds of Gwyn’s Long Island mega-mansion, and was described by mother-of-the-bride Blythe Danner as “gorgeous... the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever seen”. But while Hollywood royalty such as Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Jerry Seinfeld (who also hosted the rehearsal dinner at his nearby home), Cameron Diaz and hubby Benji Madden, Robert Downey Jr, Rob Lowe and Gwyn’s godfather Steven Spielberg all scored invites, one noticeable absentee was Gwyneth’s ex-hubby Chris Martin. Instead, the singer was on stage at the 2018 Global Citizen Festival…

She’s been front and centre on the catwalks of New York, Milan and Paris, but being the It-girl of Fashion Month seems to be taking a toll on Kaia Gerber. The 17-year-old model looked seriously skinny as she stepped out in Milan on September 18, with her twig-like legs prompting concern amongst health professionals. “She’s wasting away,” says fitness expert Jennifer Nicole Lee. Eek! Kaia’s supermodel mamma Cindy Crawford has previously admitted that her biggest hesitation in allowing Kaia to follow in her footsteps was that she’d feel pressure from the fash pack to slim down. “The expectation is for them to be even thinner now,” Cindy says. “I was always an [Aussie size 10]. I was never super-skinny and I never felt bad about it... You could have boobs,…

Cara’s back to twerk! After hanging up her stilettos back in 2015, Cara Delevingne makes a welcome return to the runway during Balmain’s Paris Fashion Week show. With her rumoured girlfriend Ashley Benson watching from the front row, Cara lip-syncs and twerks to Prince’s hit song When Doves Cry as she struts her way down the catwalk. Shake that booty, babe! WTF FASHION?! From chairs at Vivienne Westwood to fruit and scuba masks at Thom Browne, there were plenty of head-turning looks on the runways! Because they’re worth it... L’Oréal ambassadors Eva Longoria and Elle Fanning strut their stuff for the beauty brand during Paris Fashion Week. Looking très chic, ladies! But with the runway literally floating on the river Seine, fingers crossed Elle and Eva – who looks amazing…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would have heard about Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s insider beauty website Rose Inc., which launched in May. As well as sharing news and girly make-up chats with besties like Adriana Lima, Rosie spills on her red-carpet looks and how to recreate them. Look, we know we can’t be her, but this is damn close – so we’ll take it! 1 Make the ’90s new again At this year’s GQ Men of the Year Awards, make-up artist Nikki Wolff worked with Rosie’s vintage ’90s Versace dress to create this epically straight, yet super-soft, cat-eye winged shadow. “I wanted to keep it sexy and feminine by nodding to the era of the dress but with a modern twist,” says Nikki. Cheeks & contour To give RHW…

The Hills have eyes... for Mischa Barton! The former star of The O.C. has announced she’s joining Audrina, Speidi and co. in the reality reboot The Hills: New Beginnings. Yaaass! “The secret’s out...,” Mischa wrote alongside an Instagram video of herself with the original Hills theme song playing in the background. “When MTV approached me with the chance to be a part of the reality show that was inspired by The O.C., it felt like the perfect opportunity for an irresistibly inviting new chapter.” Indeed, it’s a full-circle moment for 32-year-old Mischa, whose career has hit a bit of a snag recently. She of course found fame as the troubled Marissa Cooper on The O.C. The teen drama spawned the reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, which in…

Lindsay Lohan livestreamed a bizarre series of events from Moscow, in which she approached a Syrian family living on the streets and tried to convince them to let the kids go with her to her hotel room to watch TV. Yep, we’re confused too! “They’re trafficking children,” Lilo, 32, can be heard gasping in the Insta stream. “I won’t leave until I take you. Now I know who you are, don’t f**k with me!” However, after pursuing them down the road spouting gibberish, she earned a punch in the face for her trouble! Eek! But sources say this is classic Lilo at play. “She hasn’t changed whatsoever,” a source tells People. “She’s still partying very hard and drinking a lot... She’s a nightmare to those around her.” LILO TO THE…

Rumer Willis has Hollywood buzzing that she might be expecting her first child, after the actress and singer was spotted with what looked like a baby bump at the Shiseido Make-up Launch Party in LA on September 25. “She looks to be about three months gone,” spills an insider of the star, 30. “Rumer’s been talking about babies and wanting to be a mum for a while now, so no-one would be surprised if it turns out that she is pregnant.” So who’s the potential babydaddy? Pals reckon ex-Bachie hunk Nick Viall might be! While the pair have never confirmed themselves that they’re a couple, romance rumours started swirling in June, when Nick, 38, shared a cosy pool-side pic of him and Ru. “Rumer’s been seeing…

While Ange is determined to take down her ex, Brad has his own secret weapon – a dossier covering all of his former wife’s dodgy behaviour throughout their decade-long relationship. “It’s a huge file that’s taken a long time to compile, but the information and alleged evidence is shocking,” shares a source in Brad’s camp. So what might the explosive dossier detail? First up there’s Ange’s extreme eating habits. She’s often been photographed looking frail and malnourished, with US Star magazine reporting in August that the actress was “on the verge of collapse”. “Angie has stopped eating almost entirely and has now shrivelled down to 34kg,” fretted the mag. Then there’s the star’s alleged drug-taking. Angelina has freely admitted her past battles with addiction, reportedly saying, “I’ve done just about…

Rumours of marriage trouble have been plaguing Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for months. But the reality star has dutifully stuck by the rapper through his many breakdowns, erratic behaviour and Donald Trump worshipping. Now, fans are convinced they’ve discovered why – Ye’s paying his wifey the big bucks to avoid a break-up! Indeed, last week Kim revealed on model Ashley Graham’s new podcast Pretty Big Deal that Kanye, 41, gave her a cheque for $1.5 million for Mother’s Day this year. “He happened to be recording out of town and I get my flowers and then I get an envelope delivered to the door. I opened the envelope and it was a million-dollar cheque,” Kim said, adding that there was a note attached from Kanye…

She loves a bevvy – or 10! – but Charlotte Crosby had one too many at the In The Style party in Manchester last week. “Have you ever got so drunk you were sick all over yourself and had to get carried out of the club by your Mam and dad... Yeh I’m a mess,” the reality star, 28, captioned a shocking image of herself slumped in a chair and covered in vomit. The next day, a very hungover Char appeared on Instagram to explain what happened. “We got so drunk last night that we fell unconscious,” she said from her bed, while a pal could be heard throwing up in the bathroom. Classy! But fans were unimpressed by Char’s hard-partying antics, and are now urging her to clean up…

Back in 2016, Bella Hadid admitted she “really didn’t mean to lose weight” before her first Victoria’s Secret runway show – even though she was working out three hours a day. “I want boobs,” she said at the time. “I want my ass back.” But amid reports the 175cm-tall model now weighs a tiny 48kg, sources say Bella has a long way to go before she gets her curves back. Indeed, the 21-year-old brunette beauty stepped out looking extremely skinny in Paris and Milan recently, with onlookers gasping at her visible ribs and tiny waist. “Her bones are protruding,” commented fitness expert Jennifer Nicole Lee, noting that Bella is in underweight territory. “When Bella started modelling she ate more sensibly, three light meals a day, but now she hardly eats…

1 DO BRAD & LEO SECRETLY HATE EACH OTHER? They’re playing friends in their new film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, but in real life Brad Pitt, 54, and Leonardo DiCaprio, 43, are anything but besties. Yep, according to insiders, the Hollywood heavyweights can’t get away from each other fast enough once the cameras stop rolling. We don’t believe it! “The perception is that Brad’s enjoying himself and has this deep friendship with Leo. But the truth is, they don’t get along very well at all,” an on-set spy tells. “They’ve always had an intense professional rivalry and don’t have much in common.” While sources close to Leo have tried downplaying the feud, insiders still insist jealousy is to blame for their short-lived bromance sizzling out. “Brad probably doesn’t…

With guests including former Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop, patron Dame Quentin Bryce and influential women from the media, politics, business and charity, The Australian Women’s Weekly AGL Women of the Future winner’s lunch at Quay restaurant in Sydney was to be the most talked about event of the year. Celebrating three exceptional young women who received more than $70,000 each in cash and prizes, thanks to AGL, to further their projects, the event featured a lively panel discussion on gender, female futures and politics. Julie Bishop’s keynote address on sexism and bullying in politics was a highlight, and widely reported on for days after.…

They called it quits decades ago, but ’90s It-couple Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow are still style goals. Just ask Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, whose brief for her new bob was “when Gwyneth and Brad had the same haircut”.

All parents think highly of their kids, but Sarah Jessica Parker and hubby Matthew Broderick are telling friends that their 15-year-old son James “is a modern-day Einstein,” dishes an insider. And although college is still a few years away, the couple – who are also parents to twins Tabitha and Marion – are getting James’ applications ready. “He’s gone above and beyond his parents’ expectations, and they’re convinced he’s going to get into an elite Ivy League school like Columbia or Harvard,” shares the source.…
