It all seemed to be going well for Britney Spears. She had her hugely successful residency in Las Vegas, a supportive boyfriend in Sam Asghari and, most preciously, her health after a series of well-publicised setbacks in the noughties. But now fans are wondering if it’s all been too good to be true – because the singer has checked into a treatment facility amid reports that her father Jamie’s health has taken a serious turn. “[Britney’s] dad being sick has taken a toll on her,” an insider explains of the situation. “He nearly died and actually had another surgery a few weeks ago. He’s not doing well. “They’re so close and it has been a lot [to handle],” adds the source. “She just realised she needs to make sure to…

Sending chills down their spines! Lucy Hale is developing a bit of a frosty reputation with the cast and crew on the New York City set of her new Riverdale spin-off, Katy Keene. The 29-year-old actress was tapped to play the fashion icon from the Archie Comics franchise, but her attitude has allegedly been nothing but ugly. “Lucy is always complaining about being cold, and even has an assistant who’s constantly by her side carrying an armful of coats to keep her at the perfect temperature,” blabs a behind-the-scenes spy, adding that Lucy doesn’t hesitate to send crew members on coffee runs. It seems the Pretty Little Liars star – who has been keeping busy since the hit show ended back in 2017 with the film Truth Or Dare and…

They got married to each other, and now Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are in a race to do it all over again – with other people! Jenna, 38, was first cab off the rank, getting together with Broadway star Steve Kazee, 43, following her separation from Channing. Soon Steve was taking family holidays with Jenna and Channing’s daughter Everly, five – and the actress is hearing wedding bells! “Things are going so well that they’re already living together,” an insider told People magazine. “He’s great with Everly. Jenna is hinting they’ll get engaged as soon as the dust settles on the divorce.” Whoa! Meanwhile, Channing, 38, is stepping out with singer Jessie J, 31 – and it’s only a matter of time before he pops the question, too. “Channing…

Any marriage has its challenges – especially when you get hitched so young – but Hailey’s feeling like she’s got a child on her hands, rather than a hubby! “It’s as if he expects her to do everything for him because it’s her wifely duty – but she ends up acting more like a mum,” tells the insider. “Justin is like a big kid at heart. Although Hailey insists that she likes that about him, there’s a limit and it looks like she may have reached hers.”…

Watching The Lord Of The Rings trilogy three times over doesn’t actually sound so bad! Or all eight of the Harry Potter films twice! If only a wizard could wipe out those wasted nights... We could’ve done the 40-hour famine – with an hour to stuff our faces afterwards! We could have nipped over to see the Queen in England and flown back again! That’s a whole working week at the office... kicking career goals instead of kicking the couch every time one of them said “the experiment”. We could’ve walked 260km – imagine all the calories we’d have burned!…

G-EAZY “Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” Maybe rapper G-Eazy, 29, didn’t get the response he was looking for, because he blanched at the hairy situation he’d got himself into after breaking up with Halsey and was soon back to brown. RIZ AHMED The actor, 36, was putting on the Riz when he turned up at Comic-Con last year looking like a bleach babe. He won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for The Night Of, but we’re more taken with his, erm, golden globe. PETE DAVIDSON Pete didn’t so much go blonde as white, so it was a relief when he ditched the “Saturday White Live” look. Ironically, the comedian, 25, is now dating cougar Kate Beckinsale,…

For 10 weeks we’ve followed them through tears, tantrums, a fair few cheating scandals – and even the occasional declaration of love. Now Married At First Sight is finally saying so long for another season. But not before we get to wave them goodbye in the most festive way possible. So in preparation for this week’s reunion, let’s all raise a glass with NW’s very own MAFS drinking game!…

Margaritas with Margs WHERE Los Angeles WHAT Reprising her role as Harley Quinn is thirsty work for Margot Robbie! The Suicide Squad star carries a tray of drinks – lurid green margaritas anyone? – on the set of Birds Of Prey. Nicole sucks at hide and seek WHERE New York City WHAT Aw, look at Nicole Kidman having a little nap as part of her new mini-series The Undoing. She clearly doesn’t realise that her camouflage coat is a big little fail! There’s a third Fanning sibling?! WHERE Shanghai, China WHAT Elle Fanning heads to the Chinese city for a promotional event with fashion label Miu Miu – and an alien encounter! While sister Dakota may have starred in The Alienist last year, Elle gets the real thing! Tyga sighted…

Sometimes a fat suit is all you need to get hot and bothered – just ask Russell Crowe and Sienna Miller! The two actors have been filming the upcoming mini-series The Loudest Voice, playing disgraced former Fox News chief Roger Ailes and his wife Elizabeth, with both wearing prosthetics and Russell even donning a fat suit. But clearly appearances aren’t everything – because word is, the pair only have eyes for each other! “They barely need separate trailers, because they’re always hanging out in Russell’s with the door closed,” claims an informant from the set. “You often hear Sienna laughing her head off. Russell is very funny, and Sienna’s really felt able to let loose around him. There’s a chemistry between them that no-one was expecting. Sienna is quite smitten…

Jessica Simpson gave birth to her third bubba, daughter Birdie Mae, a hot minute ago, but already the singer’s put herself on a super-strict post-baby diet in an effort to lose the 45kg she gained during her pregnancy. What’s more, she’s ordered her chubby hubby Eric Johnson to join her! “While Eric is in charge of the grocery shopping and a lot of the cooking, he’s anything but health-conscious,” dishes a snitch. “He loves to snack and chug beers. But Jessica is determined they both get into tip-top shape again as soon as possible and she’s put him on a strict diet and exercise regime.” Fried foods, bread and snacks are out, while the couple focus on a diet of protein, fats and fresh vegetables as part of the trendy…

Miranda Kerr is preggers – and it looks like she and Snapchat founder hubby Evan Spiegel will be adding a daughter to the family! Less than 11 months after the arrival of son Hart, the couple have confirmed that Miranda is expecting again with a brief, happy statement. And when the supermodel debuted her baby bump in a pink gown at an awards ceremony in Germany, rumours began swirling that it was a (not-so) subtle hint that she’s having a baby girl! “People are convinced that Miranda has a little girl on the way and that wearing pink was her way of sharing the exciting news with the world,” an insider tells NW. “As much as she loves having two boys [including Flynn, eight, with her ex Orlando Bloom], it’s…

Heidi Latcham’s marriage to Mike Gunner will no doubt go down as one of the most volatile in MAFS history. The couple came close to calling it quits several times, before ultimately deciding to commit themselves at the final vows ceremony. Talk about a rollercoaster! However, it was recently confirmed that the pair split for good within days of Heidi moving to the Gold Coast to live with Mike in December. ‘AT THE END OF THE DAY, HEIDI JUST WANTS TO BE A MUM’ “She was devastated [by] the break-up... she couldn’t believe it,” tells an insider. But now that the dust has settled, Heidi is ready to put her marriage in the rear-view mirror and start focusing on her future – and that includes becoming a mother. The radio…

He’s been one of Hollywood’s hunkiest leading men for three decades, but George Clooney looked far from his usual sexy silver-fox self as he grabbed dinner with best mate Rande Gerber on March 28. Indeed, the 57-year-old appeared pale and gaunt on the guys’ night out at Craig’s in West Hollywood, sparking concern that he isn’t in the best of health – which sources have since confirmed to NW to be true. Oh, no! According to a close pal, it’s George’s shocking scooter crash last year that has exacerbated a previous spinal injury from over a decade ago, causing him excruciating pain and reportedly leaving him reaching for the medicine cabinet! ‘HE VOWED YEARS AGO HE WOULD NEVER TAKE [THEM]’ “There have been whispers that George might be having trouble…

Kylie Jenner feels so responsible for the Jordyn Woods crisis that destroyed her sister Khloe’s life, she’s hatched a plan to win back public favour – by having another baby! And sources tell NW the make-up mogul may already be expecting her second bambino with rapper Travis Scott! “Her friends can tell she’s putting on weight and seems to be carrying a lot of it in her tummy,” spills an insider of Ky, who welcomed daughter Stormi last February. “Either she’s eating very big lunches or it’s a baby growing in there. People are hedging bets it’s a bump and guessing she’s already about three months along.” Kylie, 21, seemed to be hinting at a gender with her recent Insta post that showed her and a friend showing off pink…

1 HAS ARIANA COME OUT AS BISEXUAL? Ariana Grande’s new song has caused something of a stir, with the lyrics suggesting that the singer is bisexual. And Ariana herself hasn’t done much to tamp down the speculation... Ari’s duet with her bestie Victoria Monet, 25, is called Monopoly and references the famous board game. It includes a lyric in which both women sing, “I like women and men (yeah)” – with Ariana repeating it later on for good measure. Social media was on the case immediately, wondering if it was a covert message from Ariana’s heart, though an insider dismissed that. “She is, of course, a well-known LGBT ally, and this is her supporting her friends,” said the source. Which might be all there is to it, except…

As an A-List celeb, you’d expect David Beckham to have a few famous friends, but we didn’t think he’d be such a name-dropper! “Marilyn Monroe is me best mate, and I speak to the Queen every week,” he recently shared in a tell-all interview. “And Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsay and Daniel Craig are in my strippers’ troupe. We’ve had 50 million views on YouTube.” OK, full disclosure, it’s not actually David we’re chatting with – but the next best thing! For 20 years now, Andy Harmer (@beckslookalike) has been the world’s go-to Becks impersonator, even taking his place for that famous “cameo” scene in Bend It Like Beckham. He also dated Victoria’s lookalike Camilla Shadbolt back in the day – and the pair built a local following to rival Brand…

BRANDI GLANVILLE UNFILTERED Former The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi’s never been afraid to speak her mind – and she’s still not holding back on her weekly podcast, where she natters about everything from celeb gossip to her relationship dramas with a series of special co-hosts. Available on iTunes and Stitcher GHOST MAGNET WITH BRIDGET MARQUARDT In her spooky weekly show, the former Girls Of The Playboy Mansion star pulls apart the paranormal as she meets self-described “ghost magnets” and the spirits and poltergeists they connect with. Available on Spotify and iTunes RUPAUL: WHAT’S THE TEE? All wigs are off when the RuPaul’s Drag Race star and his co-host Michelle Visage sit down to chat pop culture, give life and beauty advice and spill behind-the-scenes secrets from their…

WE SPY A CHEAP KNOCK-OFF! BIG WILLY’S DODGY DOPPELGANGER Will Smith has clearly been a bad boy, because they won’t even give the star a stand-in that looks like him! The actor was in Miami shooting Bad Boys III – aka Bad Boys For Life – but there’d clearly been a, erm, hitch when it came time for his stand-in to be called onto set. Maybe the casting agent wasn’t focusing when they nabbed this guy from the line-up? RIRI GETS cheeky Rihanna likes to throw us a curve ball every now and then – and just look at those curves! Her latest campaign for her lingerie label Savage X Fenty has a splash of floral and a whole bucketload of sexy – with the added bonus of, in…

Some people believe that everyone in the world has a twin. And to some extent I agree with that sentiment, as I’ve had quite a few messages on dating apps from guys mistaking me for someone else... “Hi, thanks for your message, but no, I’m not the guy you were grinding up against at Stonewall on Saturday night. Best of luck finding him though!” Most of us have also probably been told we look like certain celebs. And while some Average Joes have turned this likeness into a full-time profession (see page 38), some comparisons aren’t always welcome. Uh-huh, while I didn’t mind my old editor dubbing me “NW’s very own Prince Harry”, I wasn’t exactly jumping for joy when I was told I looked like Jack Black – um,…

Margot Robbie’s next turn as a producer will see her make fun of fellow Hollywood heavyweight Gwyneth Paltrow – and a major catfight between the pair is already brewing! “Everyone connected to Margot’s new comedy Dollface [which has been ordered by Hulu as a 10-episode series] knows that it’s going to make fun of Gwyneth, and apparently there’s even going to be a spoof of Goop called Woom,” chuckles an insider. “Gwyneth has gotten wind of that fact, and while she usually tries to poke fun at herself before anyone else can beat her to it, she’s hopping mad over this!” Apparently Gwynnie, 46, is sick of people mocking her and her kooky ways – and according to sources close to her, she thinks Margs, 28, is frankly getting too…

Just five months after Justin and Hailey Bieber tied the knot following a whirlwhind engagement, the model admitted they were hardly living in newlywed bliss. “Marriage is very hard... It’s really effing hard,” Hailey confessed in US Vogue’s February issue. “I’m not going to sit here and lie and say it’s all a magical fantasy... You don’t feel it every single day. You don’t wake up every day saying, ‘I’m absolutely so in love and you are perfect.’” And things don’t appear to have improved since, as NW now hears the couple are at loggerheads over Bieber’s apparent Peter Pan syndrome. “Justin refuses to grow up, plain and simple, and Hailey has realised that she’s becoming more of a mother figure than a wife to him,” shares a close friend…

They say the best revenge is living well, but hooking up with one of your enemy’s exes must come a close second! And that’s exactly the move Cyrell seems to have made. The reality babe stepped out grinning from ear to ear alongside rumoured new man Eden Dally at a charity event on April 3. The pair were first spotted pashing while out on the town in Sydney together last month, and now can’t seem to keep their hands off each other! But Cyrell, 29, isn’t the first MAFS bride that Love Island star Eden has got cosy with. The 26-year-old hooked up with Jess in Melbourne while she and Dan were, ahem, on a break. Former MAFS star Telv Williams revealed the pair “Abso-f***ing-lutely” got it on after partying…

How does one top riding into her first wedding on an elephant? By having Kanye West officiate her second nuptials! Yep, Katy Perry may have gone big when she wed Russell Brand in 2010, but she’s planning on going even bigger when she and fiancé Orlando Bloom, 42, get hitched. The couple – who announced their engagement on Valentine’s Day – are among a handful of stars who have been attending Yeezy’s Sunday Service church group. But the pair haven’t just been enjoying the music, as NW hears they’ve asked the rapper, 41, to be their minister! “They want their wedding to make a huge splash by having a celebrity officiant,” spills a close pal. “And who better than Kanye? He and Katy are pals from way back, so it…

She’s come up with some pretty wild names for her previous three children, but surprisingly, Kim Kardashian wants to opt for something a little more traditional for baby number four. The star and hubby Kanye West, 41, are expecting their second son via surrogate, and last week Keeks revealed, “I was truthfully just thinking about naming him Rob – [after] my brother Rob. But then it’s like North, Saint, Chicago and Rob. It doesn’t really go.” Erm, you think, Kim? Apparently Yeezy’s not so keen on the moniker, preferring to stick to the unusual route. He was, after all, responsible for naming daughter Chicago, now one – with Kim previously explaining she wasn’t a fan of her hubby’s choice. “It kind of messes with me, I’m not gonna lie. I…

It was a cold New York City day, but the mood between Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx was anything but chilly as they strolled through Central Park late last month. Bundled up in winter hats and jackets, the reunited couple walked closely together as they happily chatted and checked out the scenery. The loved-up outing came as a bit of a shock for those following their romance. In late February, 51-year-old Jamie was overheard casually announcing that he was single at an Oscars charity gala, and in the weeks since, Katie’s been busy doing her own thing, attending industry events and taking her 12-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise, on a humanitarian trip to Greece. But it seems that the duo, who had been quietly dating for five years before they began…

Housewives gone wild! Her hubby Joe may be all set to be deported to Italy following his release from prison, but give The Real Housewives Of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice an opportunity to put her troubles behind her and party, and she’s there! The reality star gets down and dirty while celebrating her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga’s 40th birthday in New York City. And while there don’t seem to be any tables flipped during the festivities, Melissa got a bit of a flip by the woman herself. Hold on tight, Mel! It’s Business Barbie! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is pure perfection in her pink power suit! The stunning supermodel-turned-beauty mogul is all business while out and about in Beverly Hills, rocking those pumps for an “Office Day”. Seriously, this woman could wear…

Aries MAR 21 – APRIL 20 Other people’s support may be required if you want to get a project off the ground. According to this week’s astro-trends, offers of help could come from surprising types. Turning them down is unadvisable. To achieve what you need to at present, you need to dismiss any misgivings you might have initially. Taurus APRIL 21 – MAY 21 Mars is in your money-house, urging you to be less cautious with your savings and far more willing to take on riskier investments. Doing something on a “hunch” isn’t always recommended, of course. However, over the next week, your intuition looks set to be second to none when it comes to financial speculations. Gemini MAY 22 – JUNE 21 When Jupiter starts moving…

Animal Kingdom Nail-biting organised robberies carried out by hunky bad boys and a splash of teen love drama? Umm... drool! Animal Kingdom gives The O.C.’s bad boy Ryan Atwood a run for his money, as you watch Joshua “J” transition from innocent teen who lost his mum to a heroin overdose to a risk-taking, no s**ts-giving member of the criminal Cody family. The twisted grandmother “Smurf” calls the shots, while you watch her past unfold – telling the tale of how the clan got to where they are today. This show had me begging for more right from the first episode! Streaming now on Netflix…

“I used to go to clubs, but I’d rather have sex than go out now.” Why not do both, Cara Delevingne? There are places that give you the option! “I never don’t want mango.” Ariana Grande adds to the furore over whether she’s bisexual with a coded message about eating the, erm, forbidden fruit. “I just had a cop come up to me and ask me why I still had the security tag on my shoe. I had to tell him, ‘Bro, it’s just fashion.’” Really, Justin? People will Belieb anything!…

256 Pages in her 2009 book Safe At Home: Confessions Of A Baseball Fanatic. Alyssa is a huge fan of the sport, calling it her “stress reliever”. She adds, “Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I close my eyes and think about being at the stadium.” That’s a mega-fan right there! 7 The age she landed one of four lead roles in a touring production of Annie – her first acting gig. Her mother, Lin, accompanied her on the road for 18 months. 8 How many chickens Alyssa’s owned, in addition to nine horses, five dogs and two rabbits. “I can’t imagine what life would be like without animals,” she says. “They bring me happiness and a sense of calm and peace.” 83 The running time in minutes of Disney’s 1989…
