LIZZO LIVENS UP THE SEASON Guess who’s coming to town?! Lizzo gets her Santa Claus on for the Jingle Ball in Texas. And the star was clearly feeling Good As Hell a day earlier too, stripping down for a naughty but nice snap on the sofa. MAGIC MIKE TAKES OZ It might be summer, but that’s not the only reason it’s sizzling in Australia right now. Channing Tatum gathers a gaggle of his hottest buds in Melbourne to announce he’s bringing his Magic Mike strip show Down Under next year. All our Christmases have come early!

They’ve been married for a looooong 20 years, but this Christmas could be the last one that David and Victoria Beckham spend together, after she apparently busted the soccer stud meeting up with their son Brooklyn’s ex-girlfriend! Speaking to NW on the condition of anonymity, a source close to the designer alleges Posh, 45, spotted Becks, 44, sharing a drink with Chloe Grace Moretz at the bar within London’s swanky Dorchester Hotel on Monday last week. ‘VICTORIA STORMED OVER TO CONFRONT HIM’ “Vic had a meeting there and was shocked when she spotted David and Chloe at the lobby bar on her way out,” explains the source. “She did a double take to check it was really them she was seeing, then stormed over to confront him. David was clearly…

Angelina Jolie doesn’t just play a wicked witch in the Maleficent movies – she’s also an evil villain in showbiz circles! Yep, the prickly A-lister has fallen out of favour with almost everyone in Hollywood since she declared war on her third husband Brad Pitt following their shock split in 2016. ‘SOME THINK SHE’S A CALLOUS SCHEMER’ While Brad, 55, has moved on, sobered up, apologised and become the toast of Tinseltown once again, Ange has only become more bitter and twisted as she continues her dirty divorce tactics, including weaponising her six kids – Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 11 – against their famous father. A well-placed industry source tells NW, “When it came out she’d been trying to keep the…

Rooney Mara isn’t a fan of sharing. And she’s none too pleased that her hubby-to-be Joaquin Phoenix has been getting texts from former Mad Men bombshell January Jones! “Rooney’s level-headed, but when pushed, she does have a temper,” a source tells of the actress, 34. “And she’s pissed that January and Joaquin are communicating at all.” January, 41, is impressed with Joaquin’s acting and doesn’t miss a chance to let him know it, texting him at all hours of the day and night. She’s even suggested they get lunch! Sadly for her, Joaquin, 45, doesn’t have the “time or inclination” to meet up. Ouch!…

LA TOYA’S DEADLY DISORDER She’s gone scary-skinny ever since her engagement to Jeffré Phillips ended a couple of years ago – and now there are fears that La Toya Jackson is La Toying with her health! The singer, 63, is suspected to be suffering from an eating disorder and “her obsession with her looks could be killing her”, one insider claims. “Her preoccupation with dieting is taking a toll on her. She can’t weigh more than 38kg.” La Toya’s extreme weight loss has been commented on by professionals, who say it can lead to heart issues – and we know the Heart Don’t Lie! “She’s facing a severe medical emergency,” expert Dr Stuart Fischer warns. JANET CAN’T STOP EATING Janet Jackson has the opposite problem from her skeletal sibling –…

KANYE WEST He’s dropped from musical genius to Trump-loving punchline! TYGA He’s bankrupt and his music isn’t setting the charts on fire either.

Rita Ora We don’t want to stare too hard at Miss Rita’s psychedelic 16Arlington gown in fear of being sucked into a vortex... The ensemble is even more trippy when you combine it with that aqua eye make-up! Emma Roberts A mullet dress with mohawk gloves? Em’s Attico creation is an American Horror Story alright. Remember what Coco Chanel taught us, babe – take one thing off before you leave the house! Isabel Lucas Whether she’s Home or Away, Izzie always tops our best-dressed list.

THE QUEEN Former royal chef Owen Hodgson swears by this recipe for Her Majesty: Slice a loaf of bread lengthwise and butter two pieces. Add some tuna mixed with mayonnaise, along with pepper and some thinly sliced cucumber. Fold together, remove the crusts and cut into eight identical triangles. CHRISSY TEIGEN The star has developed a new addiction to pre-bed sandwiches. “Cheese singles with ham and mayonnaise. Butter is crucial, on both sides of the bread, just to bring it all together,” she shares. “I eat half of it before I fall asleep and then I wake up three hours later... and I eat the other half.” CHANNING TATUM The Magic Mike star’s fave is an old classic with a twist. “Bread, white. Peanut butter, not crunchy, creamy. Grape jelly,…

PLOT: Kristin Cavallari’s decking the halls of her home – if hubby Jay Cutler will let her! This year, Kristin wants to throw the biggest party her brand Uncommon James has ever seen, and she recruits Brittainy and Colby to execute it to perfection. Meanwhile, Jay has something up his sleeve as a holiday surprise for Kristin. WHAT’S HOT: This festive special will lead into a third season of Kristin’s hit reality show Very Cavallari, starting on January 10. Yaasss! Premieres Friday December 20 on hayu…

PLOT: Time to fire up those vocal chords! Broadcast live from the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, David Campbell and Allison Langdon co-host the nation’s favourite Xmas Eve tradition. WHAT’S HOT: We must have been very good this year as all our fave singers are performing, including Anthony Callea, Tim Campbell, Marina Prior, Rob Mills and many more.

The festive season is upon us and the stars are ready to sleigh slay Christmas Day in their own cray-cray ways. Reese decorates her Oscar with baubles, while Gwen covers her whole living room in wrapping paper – and then there’s snow queen Mariah, who knocks back the schnapps and rides around in a horse-drawn sled. Ah, celebs… They’re just so relatable! For more mental Tinseltown antics, turn to page 20. Speaking of craziness, the NW-ettes celebrated the silly season with a very merry party sponsored by none other than George Clooney! Well, his tequila brand anyway. After we all knocked back a few (dozen) Casamigos cocktails, deputy Leigh changed into his budgie smugglers to flaunt his gym-honed bod, designer Carol treated us to an epic Whitney Houston lip sync…

She can’t stop touching her tummy! Baby, baby, oh... dear. Justin Bieber doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry over becoming a father, as news his wife Hailey has a baby on board is tipping him over the edge! Despite the predictable first-trimester “I like food” denial from Hailey, the 23-year-old model isn’t fooling anyone. Indeed, Hailey just can’t seem to keep her mitts of her growing belly and our insider, a close friend of the couple, confirms that a pregnancy is exactly what she’d had planned. “It’s all everyone can talk about,” says the pal. “Aside from her poorly hidden bump, the biggest sign she’s pregnant is that she’s quit booze, boiled eggs and her favourite – sushi. But Justin just looks like a deer caught in the headlights!”…

LINDSAY LOHAN Diva outbursts, demanding and unreliable. Yep, most who have worked with Linds don’t have anything good to say! KATHERINE HEIGL It didn’t help her rep for being difficult when she publicly trashed her former show, Grey’s Anatomy. “I was feeling completely like the biggest piece of sh*t on the bottom of your shoe,” Kat says of the fall-out. ANNE HATHAWAY “How the world feels about me has nothing to do with me,” says the unpopular actress, whose many detractors are dubbed “Hathahaters”. KRISTEN STEWART “I just want people to like me,” says the star, who saw her stock plummet in 2012 when she had an affair with her married director. CHRISTIAN BALE The actor’s ugly tantrum on the set of Terminator Salvation in 2008 went viral. ALEC BALDWIN…

ARMIE SUCKS GOAT TEATS Talk about a sucky day on set! Call Me By Your Name star Armie Hammer got up close and personal with a goat while filming a recent episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls. The actor was caught on camera drinking goat’s milk straight from the source. “I climb an entire cliff, never done it before, feel a huge sense of accomplishment, we get up here, you tackle a goat and now I’ve got to suck on it,” Armie says to Bear ahead of the squeamish scene. But the star admits he’s glad he, um, nipped the challenge in the bud. “I did it! I carpe’d the diem, like it’s done. I just squirted the freshest milk I’ve ever had in my life in my…

Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 21 Your ruler Jupiter appears hell-bent on making you the most financially favoured sign of the zodiac this week. Providing you do the right thing by the people you’re dealing with and you do it in a positive, upbeat way, money will quickly flow in.

Yes, you may want to explore different avenues at present, but long-term loyalties should still be upheld. Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19 Lunar activity won’t make life particularly easy for you over the next seven days, but your high energy levels should be enough to see…

It hasn’t exactly been Jennifer Aniston’s day, week, month or even her year when it comes to romance. But all that could be about to change as Tom Cruise is swooping in to seduce the unlucky-in-love star! Recently, reports emerged out of the US that Jen was “interested” in joining Scientology. Now a source exclusively tells NW that Tom, 57, was “over the moon” when he heard the news – not least because he’s had a need, a need to date her for decades. “Tom’s plotting a meeting with her ASAP under the guise of showing her a script,” our source reveals. “He knows Jen would guarantee the future of the church and, of course, it would provide him with the chance to finally get to know her better. He’d…

As one of the most powerful human rights lawyers in the world, Amal Clooney can find it difficult to leave work at the door. And a source reveals the 41-year-old has been so touched by the refugees she’s worked with in Iraq that she wants to open her home to one of the countless children in need – but her husband, George, 58, isn’t on board. “George believes that adopting a child who’s been through so much would require extra time, love and care, and he doesn’t think they can offer that kind of attention to a kid right now,” says the insider. “They both have very busy careers and already have their hands full with their two-year-old twins Alexander and Ella.” There’s also the matter of safety to consider.…

Last year, when Gwen Stefani was asked why she and Blake Shelton had yet to wed after three years together, she said they were simply in no rush to tie the knot. “When you go through hard times and find somebody who’s your best friend, that you know you can depend on and trust... I think we’re just trying to be in the moment as best we can,” the singer explained. “There’s zero pressure.” Now, four years in, it seems “hard times” was a bit of an understatement. Blake had just gone through a brutal split from fellow country crooner Miranda Lambert, while Gwen had endured her own bitter divorce from rocker Gavin Rossdale, the father of her three kids, Kingston, 13, Zuma, 11, and Apollo, five. But the main…

With more Kar-Jen ladies currently single than there’ve been in years, you can bet a string of eligible bachelors are already lining up outside Kris Jenner’s house, waiting for their chance to keep up with one of the stunning sisters. However, dating a member of the klan isn’t all it’s made out to be, with one well-placed insider telling NW, “You pretty much have to sign your entire life away to date a Kardashian.” ‘THE GIRLS CONTROL EVERYTHING’ Getting on Kris’ radar long enough to make it to her shortlist is the same as winning the lottery. If you manage to get that far, you have to sign The Contract – and even the most lovesick suitors have walked after reading its finer details. “It’s brutal,” shares the source. “Drake…

Tori’s keeping up with Kris We totally want Tori Spelling’s jumper – and she totally wants Kris Jenner’s bank balance! The star’s repping the momager on her Christmas pullover while running some errands in Malibu. But what’s in those shopping bags, babe? We thought you were broke... Ben & Jen’s tense tree-ty They’re picking out a Christmas tree with their son Samuel, but Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner look anything but merry on their family outing in LA. Earlier, the exes were seen having a public spat outside the actress’ home. Not seeing eye to eye over holiday plans? Or is Jen still mad about Ben falling off the wagon?! Life’s a beach! While the rest of us are stuck slogging away before the Christmas break, celeb pals Kendall Jenner…

After four kids, long hours hanging with the fash pack and jetsetting around the world, you could forgive Victoria Beckham for letting her fitness slide. Instead, our fave style guru hasn’t changed a bit since her Spice Girl days – and she’s got her former trainer Louisa Drake to thank. The former dancer and creator of the Louisa Drake Method, which fuses Pilates, yoga, ballet and barre, explains what Posh does to look so damn good. WHAT’S VB LIKE TO TRAIN? We would prep for events and roles several times a year, and this would dictate the intensity of the training schedule and the overall focus of the results. I was always so impressed with how driven and disciplined she was. WHAT’S HER FAVE EXERCISE? She loved working her core,…
