You’d think the christening of your children would be a family affair, especially when you head up your own church – but not so for Kanye West! Amid buzz that he and wife Kim Kardashian are inching closer to a split, the devout rapper, 42, was absent from the baptisms of Saint, three, Chicago, one, and four-month-old Psalm in Armenia this month. Now sources tell NW that Ye’s latest stunt may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back as Kimmy’s ready to file divorce papers stat! “Kanye flat-out refused to go to Armenia and at one point tried to tell Kim she wasn’t going either,” says our Kardash mole. “Kanye’s crazy to think he’s got that much of a hold over her. Anyway, she wasn’t having a bar of…

She’s been getting nips and tucks for years, but Madonna’s pals are worried she’s finally gone too far and has permanently destroyed her famous face. In fact, they reckon she’s started to morph into Jocelyn “Catwoman” Wildenstein! “She’s totally expressionless and finds it hard to smile nowadays, but it doesn’t stop her going back for constant tweaks,” says an insider of the 61-year-old. “What’s really sad is how addicted she is to these treatments that only make her look like a waxwork.”…

We knew Bachelorette contestant Ciarran Stott was a heart-throb – what we didn’t know was that he hearted a gay nightclub called Throb! The long-haired lothario, 25, had a regular gig getting up to all sorts of saucy hijinks on stage at the Darwin venue a few years back. As a former army rifleman, he’d have been used to stripping off in front of other guys – and trained in the use of his weapon! “Ciarran has always been the centre of attention and loved being up on the stage,” whispers a friend. We can tell – and we’re loving seeing all his bits on parade, too!…

Once the hype dies down from Joaquin Phoenix’s new movie Joker, the actor’s fiancée Rooney Mara is keen to get started on his next role – fatherhood! The private pair – who started dating in 2016 – have always planned on starting a family but decided to wait until Joaquin finished shooting the comic-book flick first, given it was the most mentally challenging role he’s ever done. But now that it’s behind him, the 44-year-old’s putting the focus back on his life with Rooney, 34, and is said to be incredibly excited at the thought of being a dad. “I have meaning in other parts of my life,” he said in a recent interview. “I f***king love my life.” “He’s totally on board, although it was never really something he…

ANTHONY EDWARDS The actress reportedly turned down a proposal from her Top Gun co-star, who she dated from 1986 to 1987. DENNIS QUAID The couple wed in 1991, welcomed son Jack in 1992 and split in 2000. RUSSELL CROWE Meg hooked up with her Proof Of Life co-star in 2000. But she insists, “Russell didn’t break up my marriage.” JOHN CUSACK The former co-stars – they both lent their voices to the animated flick Anastasia – had a short-lived romance in 2002.…

It’s no wonder “wellness travel” is booming. Between the need to take time out from our tech-filled lives and the mounting evidence for the importance of mindfulness, we could do with a break. But these days there’s more to a healthy holiday than simply getting a massage. From hiking retreats to spiritual odysseys, there’s a wellbeing niche for everyone. See what kind of wellness traveller you are and read on to discover where that might take you this year... RELAXED Your ideal wellness retreat is the opposite of action-packed. Instead you’re looking to take time out to rest and recharge. Whether you book a spa holiday or spend time in solitude, the aim is to do a whole lot of nothing. These chilled-out escapes should get you into the Zen…

PLOT: Five years after the events of the original, Maleficent’s (Angelina Jolie) peaceful life is disturbed by the engagement of Prince Phillip (Harris Dickinson) and Aurora (Elle Fanning). WHAT’S HOT: Michelle Pfeiffer joins the cast as Maleficent’s royal rival, Queen Ingrith. And the movie’s getting rave reviews with some dubbing it a “wicked ride” and “visually mesmerising”.

I’ve thrown the doona off the bed and have even started wearing shorts to work, blinding several NW-ettes with my pasty, pale legs in the process, but the surest sign that summer is officially on its way is the arrival of our Spring Body Special. Yaassss, bring on the beach! Of course, that means squeezing back into swimwear, which won’t be helped by the fact I’m munching on a chockie bar as I type. But our Celeb Living section is full of A-list inspo for getting fit and healthy, which I might attempt once I’ve tried all the cocktail recipes on page 63. In the meantime, I’m going with Monique from The Bachelor, who tells us, “I don’t think your image should be what defines you as a person.” Amen,…

She’s having plenty of fun with Cody Simpson, but Miley Cyrus’ latest rebound boink fest has alarm bells ringing! An insider tells NW the singer’s family is worried sick that she’s transferred her addictive personality to sex after ending her affair with Kaitlynn Carter and swiftly jumping into bed with the Aussie pop star. “And that’s only the ones she’s shouting from the rooftops,” tells an insider. “There’s been a lot of talk that she’s just doing it for attention. It’s no surprise her mum Tish flew to LA as soon as Miley went public with Cody. Let’s hope she’s advising her to head straight to counselling for her nymphomaniac ways.” The signs of Miley’s rumoured sex addiction began earlier this year when it was reported that she and estranged…

He was supposed to make his big return to the spotlight this year, but reclusive Rob Kardashian hasn’t been seen in public in 835 days! “We know he sneaks out of his place at night, which is in a gated community so it’s impossible to see the comings and goings in the dark,” says a source of the star, 32. “Given that no-one has seen him in years and that he suffers from diabetes, there are genuine fears he’s at home alone and eating himself to death.” Eek!…

Hey, Margot Robbie, have you got something to hide? It certainly looked that way when the actress stepped out in New York recently draped in an oversized dress. And sources tell NW there’s buzz the Aussie babe is, in fact, expecting! Margot tied the knot to hubby Tom Ackerley, 29, in a shroud of secrecy in 2016, so it certainly wouldn’t be surprising if she was keeping mum on her first pregnancy too. “Margot keeps saying she’s in no rush to have kids, but the truth of the matter is, she can’t wait to be a mum,” dishes NW’s spy. “Everyone’s convinced she’s already got a bun in the oven.” The 29-year-old has always been open about her desire to have a big family, admitting she wants four kids who…

J.LO DEMANDS WARM COOKIES She’s always brushed off rumours of diva behaviour, but Jennifer Lopez reportedly threw a recent TV interview into chaos after they didn’t serve her snacks just so. Uh-huh, hosts of British show This Morning Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby claim J.Lo, 50, had a bit of a breakdown over her bikkies backstage. “One secret J.Lo didn’t mention was her love for milk and cookies,” Phil told viewers. “More specifically a cookie warmed to the perfect temperature with a glass of full-fat milk, cold,” Holly added. “There was quite a commotion when they worried the cookie wasn’t the right temperature,” Phillip continued. Hmmm, it all sounds a little half-baked if you ask us... BELLA’S IN HER SECOND THROUPLE! Three’s company for Bella Thorne, who’s made…

You know the saying: Three things in life are certain – death, taxes and cellulite. Or something like that. But seriously, is there a single woman on the planet who doesn’t have cellulite? Bumpy, uneven skin tone affects pretty much all of us. In technical speak, cellulite occurs when the fibrous septae that form fat chambers in the body become rigid beneath the skin and push towards the soft tissue layer, resulting in those annoying dimples we can see. It can be down to hormones, a desk-bound lifestyle or just a persistent genetic strain, so there’s no guarantee cellulite will shift permanently – no matter how many squats you do. That being said, there’s nothing wrong with enlisting a little help, especially with summer around the corner and the recent…

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23  Getting your point across to certain people might be difficult. This stargazer advises you to persist. Not everyone will deny you a fair, extended hearing and those folk who resolutely refuse to be convinced will show their hand pretty quickly. Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22  Venus is in your sign for the rest of the month and that should be good for romance. Still, you do need to make sure you’re not looking at a present partner or suitor through rose-tinted glasses. No-one is perfect. The sooner you realise this, the better. Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 21  This week, you’ll need to trust your gut instinct. Less-than-stellar alignments indicate that someone isn’t being completely honest with you. He or she might try…

The stressful combination of a hectic work schedule, a strained marriage and anxiety over yet another movie flopping would be enough to push any celebrity over the edge – and it certainly seems to be taking a toll on Nicole Kidman. The 52-year-old actress stepped out recently looking incredibly bony. Now insiders tell NW that Nic’s commitment to her craft is pushing her body – as well as her 13-year-marriage to Keith Urban – to the brink. “Nicole has always been skinny, but lately it’s gotten to a point where she’s looking downright sick,” one insider tells NW. “Apparently her bones are brittle and you only have to look at her to see that her body’s as weak as ever.” Keith, 51, in particular has been at his wit’s end…

Being dumped for Cody has certainly left a bitter taste in Kaitlynn Carter’s mouth. The 31-year-old has left telling clues on Instagram (see right) that her so-called “amicable split” from Miley is actually far from it. “One minute they were talking marriage and had moved in, the next Miley dumped her like a hot potato,” explains an insider. “Everyone warned her Miley wasn’t over Liam by a long shot and there was always this danger of being used hanging over Kaitlynn like a dark cloud. Now it looks perfectly obvious.” Despite her anger, though, sources say The Hills: New Beginnings star is still very concerned about her ex’s behaviour. “Kaitlynn doesn’t want her getting hurt,” says another source. “But she knows that’s exactly what will happen if Miley keeps these…

What this girl wants needs is to step away from the injectables... ASAP! Christina Aguilera turned heads for all the wrong reasons at the LA premiere of The Addams Family on October 6 (see far right). Yep, the 38-year-old was almost unrecognisable thanks to her, er, creepy and kooky face, with online commentators calling out her pillowy cheeks and over-plumped trout pout. They also claimed there was a strange slant to her left eyelid. “Too much Botox and fillers gave her a wonky eye,” sniped one. “Yikes! Plastic surgery gone wrong,” wrote another. Harsh! Don’t listen to ’em, hun, you are Beautiful no matter what they say. Christina has never confirmed or denied surgery rumours. Still, those in the know suspect she’s definitely messed with her mug. Her ever-changing face…

Things have come Crumblin’ Down again for Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp. NW has learnt that, after getting engaged last November, the on-off couple are officially off again, with their upcoming wedding on indefinite hold. Meg, 57, and John haven’t been seen in public for nearly three months. Now a source explains, “They had a massive blow-up – they were screaming at each other about all the issues that have kept them from marrying all these years. So Meg told John to hit the highway!” ‘THEIR PROBLEMS DIDN’T GO AWAY’ It’s not the first time the couple have made a U-turn on their way to the altar. The You’ve Got Mail star first split from the 68-year-old singer in 2014 after a three-year romance. They eventually reconciled in 2017, but…

DILF sighting! Ryan Reynolds logs some quality daddy-daughter time with four-year-old James in Manhattan after it was revealed that he and wife Blake Lively sneakily welcomed bub number three two months ago. The little backpack really suits you, Ry! A fruity fiasco A quick trip to the supermarket goes, er, pear-shaped for Tori Spelling, with the BH90210 star watching on helplessly as her bag of citrus makes a run for it. Orange you glad you weren’t carrying eggs, babe?! The hits just keep coming After being blindsided by Miley Cyrus’ decision to end their marriage, Liam Hemsworth is, er, throwing himself into work.

BE KIND TO YOURSELF Changing long-time habits is hard – so don’t beat yourself up over that empty packet of Tim Tams or exercise plan you haven’t managed to stick to. Remember, every moment is a fresh start and it’s OK to cut yourself some slack! DITCH UNHELPFUL THOUGHTS You may have heard of limiting beliefs – those annoying things we tell ourselves like, “This is too hard” or “I can’t lose weight”. These thoughts can burrow deep into your psyche and prevent you from reaching your goals. Stop sabotaging yourself – learn to identify these negative thoughts and replace them with positive truths, such as, “I am strong, capable and worthy.” FIND A MENTOR Sticking to a plan is a whole lot easier when someone has your back, so…

Dubbed the next-gen River Phoenix or Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlie Plummer sure has the boyish good looks worthy of such comparisons. The 20-year-old – who appeared alongside Michelle Williams in the 2017 flick All The Money In The World – is now starring as Miles Halter in the drama series Looking For Alaska. From the producers of The OC and based on John Green’s YA novel, it’s best described as Gossip Girl meets The Fault In Our Stars. We chat to the world’s new teen heart-throb to find out more!

“Since working in South Korea, I’ve found exfoliation to be a really wonderful, very manly thing, which I didn’t appreciate as much before.” Jake Gyllenhaal’s a slave to his skincare routine. “I took a moment, caught my breath and said, ‘Does that make me a Bond girl?’” New Bond villain Rami Malek got confused after accidentally snogging Daniel Craig on the set of No Time To Die. “I watched Stranger Things. Now I feel like Millie Bobby Brown and I get it. My breasts get so heavy on a full moon.” Gemma Collins claims she has supernatural powers!…
