‘BLAC DISLIKES MOST OF THE FAMILY’ She’s been looking to get back at her love rival Kylie Jenner ever since Ky hooked up with her ex-fiancé and babydaddy Tyga in 2014. And now Blac Chyna is serving it up in spades – by dating the teen’s brother Rob Kardashian! What’s more, rumours – that Rob and Blac are doing nothing to quell – suggest that the former exotic dancer may even be pregnant with his baby! Breaking the news of the pair’s hot new romance like a bull in a, er, Chyna shop, Blac sent fans – and Rob’s famous fam – into a spin when she posted a pic on Instagram last week of his tattooed arm wrapped around her. “The beginning,” the 27-year-old captioned the snap. And it…

In what appears to be a stealth attack, Blac’s bestie Amber has also been making a play for a vulnerable Kardashian man – Scott Disick, who’s on the outer again with Kourtney! The pair – who met through mutual pal Chris Brown – were seen boarding a private jet after spending the previous weekend partying together in Las Vegas. Then, just hours later, Amber began following Lord Disick, 32, on Instagram, while he’s reportedly telling pals she’s got “an ass that makes a grown man cry”. Not surprisingly, their sudden friendship didn’t go unnoticed – and Amber was forced to shoot down buzz that she’s baiting the Kardashians. “I’m not following anyone to be corny or start trouble that’s not me. I’m simply just a fan of his. 2016 is…

Things are looking up for Liam Payne! While his new tunes were slammed by fans recently – one calling it “rubbish”, and another saying his tracks are “polluting the music industry” – not everyone thinks he’s a musical mess. Indeed, Jennifer Lopez, 46, has asked the singer, 22, to write songs for her new album. “Liam was asked round to meet Jennifer and they had a great chat about music and how they thought their styles could come together to create something she’d love,” an insider tells The Sun. “He’s now going to work his hardest to write as many tracks as possible and present them to her. He’s determined to be the best possible songwriter he can be.”…

About that face Kim looked oh so different in Kourt’s Insta snap on January 24 – and it sure got fans talking! SLEAZY YEEZY? “Kanye’s never there,” says the source of workaholic Yeezy’s constant globe-trotting. Add to that his apparent crush on Amina – who’s next-level gorgeous – and it’s no wonder Kim has all the jealous feels. Just weeks after giving birth to their second child Saint, dealing with her hubby Kanye West gushing about another woman is the last thing Kim Kardashian needs. But that’s exactly what she’s getting, because the roving-eyed rapper can’t stop raving about his latest muse, 22-year-old model Amina Blue – even in front of his wife! And with insecure Kim recently tweeting that losing the baby weight the second time was around “soooo…

THE HONEYMOON James chose the wedding venue in Macau, so Mariah gets to pick their honeymoon destination – a five-star private island in Tahiti. WEDDING SINGER The billionaire hit a bum note when he wrote off Mimi’s offer to sing at their reception. “He says they should get Adele,” says our insider. GRAND ENTRANCE This is one way to avoid traffic jams and make an entrance. Mimi’s luxury yacht will feature 100 gold lanterns – natch! THE DRESS Her Renee Strauss dress will top the world’s most expensive gown, which cost $18 million and featured 150 carats of diamonds. FOOD AND BOOZE Möet & Chandon will produce champers for the event at $5000 a bottle. Just the thing to wash down caviar served in 24-karat gold tins! THE GUESTS We’re…

The name Amy Schumer is guaranteed to elicit a chorus of “She’s just so... real!” – especially around the NW office! That’s because unlike her stick-thin Hollywood counterparts, the hilarious star admits her diet can be a bit of a trainwreck sometimes! Hallelujah for honesty! “If I didn’t have the constant dread of being on television, I think I would be obese – like for real obese,” the 34-year-old funnywoman admits. But when over-indulging left Amy looking bloated like she’d been “stung by bees everywhere”, she changed things up and whittled her waistline. “If I’m getting ready to do something on TV, I try to clean up my act,” she says, adding that bloat-inducing bread and pasta are the first things to go. “I tend to eat pretty healthy though,…

‘I DO LOVE THE IRISH BOYS, I HAVE TO SAY’ The journey to adulthood is tricky at the best of times, but doing it under the glare of the spotlight is a whole new level of awkward – just ask Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan! “All the ‘Is she going to get her first kiss, is she going to lose her virginity?’ I’ve moved beyond that now,” says the 21-year-old, Yep, she definitely moves beyond it in triple-Oscar-nominated flick Brooklyn, in which Saoirse – who made her name in flicks including The Lovely Bones, Hanna and Atonement, which earned her an Academy Award nomination at just 13 – has a very grown-up sex scene! Set in the 1950s, the film sees her play Irish immigrant Eilis Lacey who, after leaving her…

There might be a 24-year age gap, but that’s just a number when it comes to My Kitchen Rules’s cougar-and-cub couple Cheryl and Matt. “We don’t care what people think,” HR student Matt, 26, tells NW – and mum-of-one Cheryl, 50, confirms it! “We’re always shocking people. They shake their heads and are like, ‘You two!’ We don’t have many boundaries.” And with sexual chemistry as strong as theirs, it’s a wonder the couple of 18 months actually find the time to cook. “He’s always on! Every day. Sometimes two or three times a day,” marketing manager Cheryl, er, overshares of their bedroom antics. “It’s awesome. He keeps himself very healthy and very well maintained, I must say.” Ew, TMI! But she’s not done yet... “He’s got loads of energy…

The Shaker Man Who knew you could make a living out of shaking? Brazilian-born Samuel discovered his ability to, um, oscillate 10 years ago, so he gave up his job as a construction worker and now shakes full-time! Erik the Dog Meet Erik, a robotic dog comedian whose hobby is sniffing butts! If he wasn’t a performer, Erik says he’d be a relationship counsellor, while his pre-show routine includes meditation and a poo. Sisters Doll WA brothers Brennan, Bryce and Austin were inspired to form this ’80s-style glam rock band by their KISS mega-fan dad and have moved to Melbourne to make their dreams come true. Pizza Acro These four Italian chefs perform pizza acrobatics, which we guess is a thing now. What we want to know is, do they…

AMAL CLOONEY Besides the fact she became a high-profile lawyer and married George Clooney, not much has changed since Amal, 38, was a schoolgirl. CATE BLANCHETT The Aussie actress’s ageless beauty has us convinced the 46-year-old actress is pulling a Benjamin Button and ageing in reverse. WITHERSPOON REESE With such impeccable skin, 39-year-old Reese proves that age is just a number – one that appears not to have changed in decades! ROB LOWE The years have been kind to the 51-year-old, who’s still too youthful to make the transition to silver-fox status. SANDRA BULLOCK With her youthful complexion, the Miss Congeniality star, 51, would still be a shoo-in for a sash. Seriously, what gives, Sandy?…

ON THE TROT There’s nothing worse than getting horse on stage, especially for Katy Perry’s dancers – she really rides them hard! NAVAL ACTION We’re not surprised they leave Mariah Carey’s show out of the navy recruitment ads... PUSH IT REAL GOOD Beyonce’s clearly a great boss – she’s got that, er, personal touch. TINY DANCER Miley Cyrus hires little people as her back-up dancers, but insists on doing the backing up herself. BUM DEAL This guy has “Catching J.Lo” listed as a skill on his LinkedIn profile. That and the best view in the house...…

This isn’t exactly breaking news to anyone who follows me on Instagram (@brando_87, for the record!) or to my dear friend and colleague Jordan, who created a calendar and a coffee-table book in my honour (best gifts ever, Jordy! ). But I didn’t realise how much I loved it until I updated my iPhone software the other day and it created a new Selfies folder in my camera roll. It turns out I’ve got 6566 selfies on file – and that’s not including the old-school style when you had to flip your phone around and hope you got your angles right. People also take the piss out of my selfie face and, again, I didn’t realise until I went digging through the archives – Kim Kardashian-style! – that I am…

FAMOUS FOOTSTEPS It’s not hard to see the resemblance between Natalie and her cousins as she heads out in San Marcos, California, on January 14. From the dark locks to the killer style, they’re definitely related! She’s kept a low profile up until now, but after years of waiting in the wings, secret Kardashian Natalie Zettel is dishing the dirt on the family! Unlike her famous relos Kourtney, Kim and Khloe, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, the 18-year-old has shunned the limelight for a low-key life in San Diego. But it wasn’t always that way. In fact, Kris Jenner’s niece – an only child who bears a striking resemblance to Khloe – was once so close to the klan she was raised like a sister to Kylie, 18, and Kendall,…

His saviour Since meeting Sami, Zac’s traded boozy brawls for blissful couples’ vacays in Mexico and Hawaii. It’s not only Zac’s health that’s on the right track! By the sounds of it, his relationship with stylist Sami Miro, 28, is going from strength to strength, too – so much so that sources reckon the actor could be down on bended knee any day now! “Sami gets him better than any another girl he’s been with and she’s a great influence,” says our source. “Since they started dating, he’s been like a changed man. He’s on the straight and narrow and isn’t looking back. He’s on the verge of popping the question.” Indeed, the pair – who’ve been dating since September 2014 – couldn’t keep their mitts off each other during…

Lock up your daughters, folks – there’s a new sweet-talker in town! Brooklyn Beckham’s got it all – good looks, a budding career as a sports star and two of the most famous parents in showbiz – so it’s no surprise the teen’s flexing his muscles on the dating scene. “Yeah, it’s happening,” says dad David Beckham of his son’s busy love life. But the 16-year-old might want to start playing the game a little better now that he’s been busted seemingly two-timing his model girlfriend Sonia Ben Ammar, also 16, with his ex Chloe Moretz, 18. Talk about playing with fire! In fact, Brooklyn – who also got cosy with a mystery girl in London in January – is getting such a rep for playing the field he’s now…

Ladies around the world were rejoicing when openly gay singer Ricky Martin recently revealed he’s still attracted to chicks. Hey, we’re in with a chance! But it turns out there could be a very good reason for his surprising confession, with a friend of the star claiming there is a lady on the scene - his BFF and fellow The Voice coach Delta Goodrem! “I like to enjoy sex in total liberty, which is why I am open to having sex with a woman if I felt the desire to,” Ricky, 44, told Mexican magazine Fama. “I don’t believe in sexual labels, we are simply human beings with emotional and sexual needs.” Quite! And the growing spark between the Puerto Rican heart-throb, who split from beau Carlos Gonzalez in January…

Saoirse has more hit flicks under her belt than most stars her age, but you’d be forgiven for not realising it, as she’s never been one to make a song and dance about it. Indeed, ever since she was a nipper, the Irish lass has been all about the acting – and not about the ego! – which she discovered thanks to her Irish actor dad Paul Ronan taking her on set. “I did some short films with him and it was lots of fun. I have kept on doing it. The more I do the more I love it,” says the star, who landed a gig alongside her dad in Irish medical drama The Clinic at the age of nine. Check out some of the critically acclaimed roles she’s…

EMILY BLUNT AND JOHN KRASINSKI ARE HAVING A BUB A rep for the actress confirms that the couple who are already proud parents to 23-month-old Hazel – are expecting baby number two.

Miley Cyrus has spent so long doing the “Miley being Miley” thing that we nearly forgot she used to be an actress. But after rekindling her romance with Liam Hemsworth, the starlet is heading back to her roots, nabbing a starring role in Woody Allen’s as-yet-untitled new TV series for Amazon. “F**k yeah! Stoked to be in Woody Allens first series!!!!!” Miley wrote on Instagram, alongside a portrait of the legendary director she keeps on her bedside table. Er, OK... Welcome back!…

She’s one of Hollywood’s hottest women, but it seems Jennifer Lopez has body insecurities just like the rest of us. Yep, according to US mag In Touch, the 46-year-old singer finally tackled one of her major hang-ups by undergoing a breast augmentation over the Christmas holidays! “She would watch herself on TV and her boobs were bothering her. They were starting to droop and she wasn’t happy,” an insider tells the magazine. Indeed, with all those skimpy costumes lined up for her Las Vegas residency – which kicked off on January 20 – we hear J.Lo wanted her ladies to bring it! “Jennifer wanted them to have a rounder, fuller shape and sit better on her body,” the insider continues. “She’d been thinking about getting them fixed for a while…

SOCIAL BUTTERFLIES  “I hate being stuck by myself at home because I am an only child,” says Natalie, who enjoys the social scene just like her cousins Khloe and Kim. “I can’t just sit at home all day. I need to get out.” FAMILY TIES Their lifestyles may be world’s apart, but Kris says her mum Mary Jo (left), sis Karen and niece Natalie will always be family and meet up for celebrations. Her Kardashian cousins may live two hours away, but they always enjoy the time they spend together. Being roughly the same age, Natalie says she has a lot in common with cousins Kendall and Kylie, and has a close relationship with them.…

JANUARY 10 Katy and Orlando first set tongues wagging when they were seen looking “extremely flirty and whispering to each other” at two Golden Globes afterparties, and even had a touchy-feely dance-off together! “They are so hot for each other,” revealed NW’s exclusive party insider. “They are definitely an item!” JANUARY 12 Just two days after their public flirt-fest at the Globes, the rumored couple “talked and laughed” at the Stella McCartney Autumn 2016 show in LA. However, this time the pair appeared desperate to avoid being seen together. Katy would only talk to Orlando once they were alone, says an Us Weekly spy, and they arrived and left the event separately. Way to keep us all guessing! JANUARY 21 A week later, Katy and Orlando both happened to be…

1 DID K-STEW TIE THE KNOT? It certainly looks that way – check out the gold band Kristen Stewart’s rocking on her ring finger! Yep, the actress all but confirmed she’s said, “I do,” to girlfriend-of-one-year Alicia Cargile when she rocked up to LAX airport wearing the tell-tale bling on January 14! And we reckon a secret ceremony would be right up uber-private K-Stew’s alley. “If they did make it official, Kristen and Alicia would have kept it very hush-hush,” spills an insider, hinting at a low-key City Hall ceremony over the holidays! Of course, this isn’t the first time Kristen, 25, has left the world guessing about her marital status. Last August, she reportedly dropped the W-bomb at an afterparty for the LA premiere of her film American Ultra,…

A new study conducted by the Mayo Clinic reveals that people with a normal BMI but too much belly fat are 50 per cent more likely to die prematurely than overweight people with less belly fat. Yep, central obesity – which is generally defined in women as having a waist of 89cm or more – can be lethal, as Yale Prevention Research Center director David L. Katz confirms, “because some of that fat tends to be stored in vital organs, particularly the liver”. That can raise insulin levels, which may lead to type-2 diabetes, says David, upping the risk of heart disease and stroke. But have no fear – he and other trusted pros are sharing tips on how to budge the pudge permanently. Health and hotness in one go?…

He’s one of the hottest guys in Hollywood, with a smorgasbord of box-office hits in his back pocket. But for the last 10 years, there’s been only one project Ryan Reynolds has been itching to do – and that’s to play crazy Wade Wilson in the X-Men spin-off Deadpool. “That’s sort of a dream come true,” says the actor, whose character is a disfigured former Special Forces operative with mutant powers gained during a botched experimental cancer treatment. Intense! Armed with the superhuman ability of accelerated healing, Deadpool – who you may recall from 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine – sets out for revenge against those who scarred him. But there’s a twist – as serious as this all sounds, the movie is actually a LOL-fest! “He’s funny and acerbic and…

Lachlan McAleer became one of Australia’s most eligible bachelors when his whirlwind marriage to Clare Tamas hit the skids on Married At First Sight last year. But it seems he’ll be far luckier in love on The Farmer Wants A Wife! The 37-year-old cattle farmer turned suspiciously, er, sheepish when NW caught up with him to extract clues as to whether he found The One during his latest foray into reality-TV romance. “Maybe,” he teases, before brushing the question away casually. “If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me in the street if this farmer had a wife, I wouldn’t have to work!” Let’s hope he fares better than he did with Clare, whose feisty temper was the talk of Married At First Sight. “We haven’t spoken…

They have two of the biggest mouths in showbiz, so it’s no surprise that Australia’s Got Talent judges Kelly Osbourne and Sophie Monk are getting on like a house on fire. In fact, they seem to be treating work like it’s one big love-fest. “We just want to enjoy it... We both can’t wait to get out of the make-up chair and just hang!” Soph, 36, says of their friendship.
