t’s hard to believe, but we’ve almost seen the last of 2016 – and what a year it’s been! Who would have predicted di d that h K Kim Kardashian would be missing from red carpets for over three months, that we would have farewelled music legends Prince and David Bowie or that the star of The Apprentice US would now be that country’s president?! But it wasn’t all sad and scary news

– there were plenty of weddings, engagements and babies to celebrate (our love affair with Luna Stephens (p70) was also born in 2016!). So it was no mean feat pulling together our annual year in review (p27), but we’re pretty proud of the results. And with Miley and Liam finally tying the knot (p22), and our new fave couple Meghan Markle and Prince Harry getting serious, 2017 is shaping up to be another exciting ride. Happy holidays.

S Britney’s back! And she was looking hotter than ever as she hit the stage at the B96 Pepsi Jingle Bash in Illinois on December 10

omeone call a fireman, because Britney Spears is on fire! The 35-year-old singer had us reminiscing on her early noughties reign this week when she revealed a healthier and sexier body than we’ve seen in years – the results of a steamy new romance with her Slumber Party love interest Sam Asghari, perhaps?

The superstar is yet to make her relationship with toyboy Sam, 26, public, but there was no denying her smitten smile and new look in the clip, which gave us flashbacks to her I’m a Slave 4 U days.

‘Britney is taking things really slow with her new handsome co-star Sam,’ reveals a friend of the hot mama. ‘They are being a little secretive when friends are asking them questions about what is going on and they’re not answering anything. They have great chemistry together and she loves how sexy he is.’

‘On the same day five years

The exciting news comes four months after Ronan, 39, opened up about his desire to make his second wife’s baby dreams come true. ‘I’d love to [be a dad again]. It’d be smashing,’ he said at the time.

‘This news is like all of our Christmas wishes coming true,’ Storm gushed on her blog.

ENGAGED!

N thi says ‘I llove you’’ quite Nothing it lik like a $3.3 million canary diamond sparkler – and that’s exactly what Orlando Bloom used to propose to his girlfriend of 11 months, Katy Perry, after ‘formally’ asking her parents for her hand in marriage over the Thanksgiving weekend last month.

Four days after the family festivities, the glowing star, 32, got the ring of her – and our – dreams, and friends say she and Orly, 39, ‘want to get married soon, either at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, near her parents’ house, or Hawaii, where they took their first holiday’.

The happy couple are enjoying every moment of their engagement – and that includes taking Katy’s blinding ring finger out for a stroll in New York on November 28. ‘Katy’s been positively radiant,’ gushes another friend of the bride-to-be.

‘Gwyneth had a huge rock on her wedding finger that caught a few people’s eyes,’ says a partygoer. ‘Later, she was introducing Brad to someone he didn’t know and referred to him as her

fiancé. She seemed totally loved up.’

The happy news follows a rocky few months for 44-year-old Gwyn and the Scream Queens producer, 45, who reportedly briefly ended things in September when he failed to show at her Mexican birthday celebrations.

At the time, Gwynnie reached out to her ex-fiancé Brad Pitt – just the nudge Mr Falchuk needed, it seems!

Wow!’ commented one monarchist, while another was taken by the mother-of-two’s regal charm. ‘My goodness, Kate looks stunning,’

‘Everyone at Victoria’s Secret was talking about how Yolanda [Hadid] is giving Kris a serious run for her money,’ says one guest at the 2016 Victoria’s Secret runway show in Paris, where the former model cheered on her daughters Gigi, 21, and Bella, 20. Meanwhile, original ‘mumager’ Kris, 61, was noticeably absent from 21-year-old Kendall’s night of nights. ‘Bella and Gigi were the most-anticipated models in this year’s show.

SHOCKING ILLNESS HIT WITH A MYSTERY SICKNESS, THE STAR IS FIGHTING FOR HER HEALTH

ADDITIONAL TEXT BY SARA BORDON PHOTOGRAPHS BY BACKGRID, SPLASH, REX SHUTTERSTOCK

K

im Kardashian’s lifelong lust to be in the spotlight has vanished.

Following her terrifying armed robbery in Paris on October 3, she’s posted nothing on social media. Her 36th birthday in October uncharacteristically came and went with zero fanfare, as did son Saint’s first birthday on December 5.

And on November 21, the same day Kim was finally ready to venture out to make her first post-heist public appearance – at a charity gala honouring her late father – her husband Kanye West, 39, suffered an epic breakdown that left him hospitalised for nine days, and Kim cancelled her appearance at the last minute.

‘For Kim to fall completely off the grid for months,’ says an insider, ‘something must be very wrong.’

It is. Kim’s disappearance from the public eye isn’t just because of the Paris attack – she is battling a serious illness.

The news first leaked on gossip website TheDirty.com in late November in the wake of Kanye’s hospitalisation, which followed an outrageous onstage rant from the rapper about onetime friends Jay Z and Beyoncé.

14 WWW.OKMAGAZINE.COM.AU

‘This has nothing to do with Beyoncé,’ TheDirty’s founder Nik Richie, who’s married to former US Bachelor winner Shayne Lamas, posted on his site (see breakout, right).

‘Kanye is in his head right now because he believes he’s cursed. His wife got diagnosed with something really bad and Kanye can’t handle it. Everyone he loves, he loses.’

KIM IS SICK AND SHE NEEDS TO FACE THAT AND GET STRONG Then, on December 9, another website reported that three weeks earlier, Kim had received bad medical news and that friends had also heard she’d been diagnosed with a major illness and was not going to be OK. ‘Kim is sick and she needs to face that and get strong,’ an insider tells OK!. ‘She hasn’t even told her friends about her illness yet.

At this point, friends have heard she’s sick, but they’re in the dark and calling it her “mystery illness.”’

They’re scared to death. ‘Her friends have been calling her and stopping by and making sure that she’s OK, because between her illness and Kanye’s breakdown and even her own breakdown, she’s in terrible shape,’

explains the insider. ‘She moved in with her mother Kris [Jenner], who’s helping her with the children on days when she just can’t do it on her own. It’s very sad because some days she can’t even get out of bed.’

Kim has had a host of health scares and issues in recent years. Her grandmother MJ Shannon battled colon and breast cancer (Kim’s father Robert Kardashian died from oesophageal cancer at 59), so Kris convinced Kim to get tested for the BRCA gene, a mutation that signals a higher risk of developing breast or ovarian cancers, in 2015.

The results weren’t disclosed until January 2016, on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Kim tested negative for the gene.

Kim has also been dealing with a rarely discussed health issue. ‘She has severe fibroids,’ explains the insider, revealing Kim’s battle with benign tumours of muscular and fibrosis tissue that grow in the uterine wall.

‘She’s been warned in the past they could eventually result in surgery to remove her uterus. Fibroids can cause you severe pain and lead to complications such as anaemia and blood loss. They cause her such severe pain and cramping, sometimes she just wants to stay in bed.’

Kim’s health crisis couldn’t have come at a worse time. ‘She still has constant flashbacks of the Paris attack and will wake out of a dead sleep and scream,’ the first insider tells OK!. ‘She’s been suffering tremendously since she was robbed, but this isn’t only psychological. She has real health problems. She’s really ill.’

SHE’S WITHDRAWN

‘Kim just wants to be with her kids and has isolated herself from friends,’ says a Kardashian insider, calling the reality star ‘a shell of her former self’.

Kanye’s beloved mother Donda was his date for the 2006 Grammy awards

Kanye’s friend tells

‘HE’S STILL GRIEVING’ Kanye’s pal Fonzworth Bentley has opened up about the rapper’s mental health issues, revealing he’s still not coping with his mum Donda’s death in 2007. ‘He never mourned his mother, and that’s at the root of this, and you don’t have to be a clinical psychologist to figure that out,’ says Fonzworth, 42. ‘That is at the core of this. I think a lot of these things are coming up and coming out now.’

Close Kimye friend John Legend, 38, also expressed his concern for his mate, insisting they want him to get the help he needs.

‘We’re just rooting for Kanye to get better, to feel better,’ he says. ‘We’re all fans of him and friends of him, and we want him to be well.’

HE’S BLOWING CASH!

Kanye’s poured more than $13 million into renovating his and Kim’s Hidden Hills home since they bought it in 2014. Yet Ye’s lavish habits continued on December 8, when he was seen at a furniture exhibition in LA. ‘Kanye spends so much money,’ scolds a source.

T

he war between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for custody of their six children is only just beginning.

Although the couple both signed off on a new agreement on December 2 that sees Ange maintain temporary full custody of Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eightyear-old twins Knox and Vivienne, Brad’s not giving up his family without a fight.

Recently uncovered documents reveal that while Brad can see his kids, the visitations are ‘therapeutic’ in nature and will be monitored.

But that’s not enough for Brad’s brood, who are taking matters into their own hands.

‘Some of the kids really miss him a lot and have found ways to reach out, even though they aren’t supposed to do that,’ an insider tells OK!.

It’s the girls who are feeling the absence of their dad the most. ‘Zahara and Shiloh often call their daddy to tell him how much they miss and love him,’ the insider tells. ‘Brad always accepts their calls and instantly replies to messages, no matter where he is or how busy he is. It breaks his heart to hear them in pain.’

‘Brad loves his kids and will never turn his back on them. He’s trying his best to abide by Angelina’s rules while they are going through this messy custody fight, but he’s not going to ever deny his children,’ says the insider.

‘He knows he can’t encourage them to reach out, but he will never tell them to stop.’

However, not all of the kids feel the same.

The eldest boys, Maddox and Pax, are reportedly refusing to see their famous father at all, after storming out of an arranged visit.

With family tensions at an all-time high, Brad’s lawyer Lance Spiegel recently filed a request for four additional visitation sessions between Brad, 52, and his kids, although the documents state, ‘If Maddox and Pax don’t want to see him… Brad wants an extra session with the other four kids.’ In the end, however, Ange’s team rejected Brad’s request on the grounds that it wasn’t in the kids’ best interests.

As the new details come to light, Brad is desperate to halt the leak. ‘I am extremely concerned that if court records regarding custody are not sealed, information contained therein will cause irreparable damage to our children’s privacy rights,’ he wrote in his declaration. ‘I am respectfully requesting that all custody-related pleadings be sealed.’

The actor also made clear his intentions to fight for his family. ‘[Angelina] and I have been

unable to agree on a custody schedule and I intend to file a Request for Orders to establish a schedule unless an agreement is reached,’ he explained.

It’s now been three months since the shock split. It’s believed Ange, 41, filed for divorce after an alleged altercation between Brad and Maddox while the family were on a flight bound for LA. Brad has since been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Department of Children and Family Services, Bill and Jane Pitt (above) are but Ange still believes the kids considering action after Ange’s are traumatised, and is insisting first, and is already lawyer allegedly told them that she and Brad ‘participate busy preparing for her next they were ‘out of the in joint sessions with a trauma hearing with Brad in January. picture’ when it comes specialist so they can learn how With the star now gunning to the grandkids. to support… their children’. for each child to have a separate As Brad pursues joint custody, his custody evaluation, costs could parents Jane and Bill are also now involved. run as high as $250,000 – and that’s only the ‘They have unsuccessfully tried to talk to their start. ‘They will have a team of psychiatrists grandchildren, who are in LA in with Angie,’ and therapists that will want to talk and another pal tells OK!. ‘They are considering run tests on the children,’ Californian lawyer suing for grandparent visiting rights.’

David Pisarra says. ‘This will turn into a long, But Ange has another court case to settle expensive, nasty, public divorce.’

BRAD’S PARENTS ARE SUING ANGE!

BITTER LEGAL BATTLE HE SAYS LANCE SPIEGEL ● ‘[The children] should be protected from embarrassment and stigma resulting from public access to information concerning their emotional status and their relationships with their parents,’ says Lance of sealing future court details. ● ‘It is inconceivable to me that the court will not provide Brad with much greater access to the children,’ he wrote to Laura Wasser. ‘He has been a great father.’ ● If there is litigation, he adds, it is going to be because Ange ‘is either unable or unwilling’ to recognise that the kids need ‘to have two loving parents in their lives.’

SHE SAYS LAURA WASSER

● Laura says she rejected Brad’s request for extra visitations because his team ‘seem to not have any regard for what the children’s therapists feel is in their best interests’. ● Laura claims Ange is against litigation.

‘Is it not the end goal that within the next 6-12 months Brad is enjoying frequent and continuous contact with all of the children on a joint custodial basis? If we know that we will get to that point via either costly, ugly protracted and public court battles or by virtue of out-of-court resolution… why would you choose the former?’

In a red carpet atmosphere, it’s tough trying to keep your cool under the flashing lights (and even harder to stand out in the beautiful crowd).

That’s why preparation is key.

As someone who finds herself in star-studded situations on the regular - think fashion shows, film premieres and velvet-roped parties - Chloe Chapman knows how to leave them wanting more. It’s all about composure, a little playfulness and a little sparkle in your eye.

DRESS TO IMPRESS When you’re in a place where everyone is trying to get noticed, sometimes it’s true what they say: less is more.

Take a page from Chloe’s style manual and stick to the classics - the perfect little black dress, a statement accessory (shoulder-dusting earrings, anyone?) and some strappy, confidence boosting heels. So much yes.

THE FINISHING TOUCH Once the hardest part is over, grab your girlfriends and snap a red carpet selfie.

Sparkling moments like these deserve to be remembered!

All that’s left is to let down your hair, break out the Henkell and toast to another perfect entrance. An unforgettable night of fun awaits.

HARRY BUSTED AT MEGHAN’S DETOUR!

After his Caribbean trip, ‘[Harry] was due to fly back to London,’ spills a pal. ‘But he… diverted straight to see her as they couldn’t bear to be apart.’

FIRST XMAS TOGETHER! THE COUPLE GET READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP AFTER THEIR RENDEZVOUS IN TORONTO

MEGHAN’S DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO MAKE IT WORK Christmas in Meghan’s hometown of LA. The couple’s plans come amid reports Harry is ready to meet Meghan’s parents.

Her mum Doria and dad Tom separated when she was six, but have maintained an amicable relationship, with the trio enjoying a recent family catch-up for Thanksgiving – making a Markle holiday get-together the perfect way to welcome the prince into the fold.

It’s the latest sign of how serious things have become since the pair began dating seven months ago.

Friends confirm Harry is ‘besotted’, with many royal watchers believing she’s The One. The prince was even spied leaving Meghan’s apartment on December 4, after taking a massive detour to Toronto to see his bae following his trip to the Caribbean.

And while Harry had to cut his visit short due to commitments in London, the pair can’t wait to see each other again before the month is up. ‘It will be a one-week trip,’ a pal confirms.

‘There are just a few details left to finalise.’

Harry’s not the first royal to break with Christmas family tradition. William and Kate shocked the royals two years ago when they decided to hold their own Christmas

WILLS & KATE PAVED THE WAY!

‘Kate’s goal is to make Christmas more of a close family occasion, and less of a formal one,’ a friend reveals

celebrations at their home, Anmer Hall. Royal experts confirm the couple ‘spent the day’ with Kate’s parents Mike and Carole Middleton – who, like Meghan, had been barred from attending the Queen’s official gathering.

‘The royals are like any other family and face the same dilemmas with in-laws,’ a palace source explains. Since then, Wills and Kate have been spending alternate years with the Queen and the Middletons. And with the precedent set, Harry and Meghan could well do the same to make the most of their festive season.

With Christmas fast approaching, and the New Year nearly upon us, it won’t be long

Harry’s taking note from Willls and Kate, who are again bucking the royal Christmas tradition, reportedly joining the Queen ‘only for part of the celebrations’.

But they also plan to take George, three, and Charlotte, 19 months, to visit Santa at the fair in nearby Thursford and have their own celebrations at Anmer Hall.

before the pair take another big step – their first public outing as a couple. With the benevolent actress heading to India in early 2017 for two weeks to set up a ‘girls’ program’ she’s been working on, speculation is ramping up that Harry might join his girlfriend on the goodwill trip, and take their love public.

Of course, before the reveal, the American actress will have to brush up on her palace etiquette – from learning proper titles and the art of curtseying, to holding a teacup properly.

But when the time comes, she’ll be ready.

Confirms a friend: ‘[She’s] doing everything she can to make the relationship work.’

She’s proud to be

HARRY’S GIRL! The actress hasn’t officially spoken about her royal romance (yet!), but she’s been dropping clues like they’re hot potatoes on social media! ‘This was Bogart’s sweater when he was a puppy, and now it’s keeping Guy warm. #puppylove #adoptdontshop #reducereuserecycle,’ she captioned a snap of her pooch wearing a sweet Union Jack knit. She’s also been out and about sporting a brand new piece of jewellery of late, to go with the his-andhers bracelets Harry gifted the avid humanitarian. Meghan’s new bling is a $340 14-carat gold Maya Brenner necklace, complete with ‘M’ and ‘H’ charms.

Hmm, wonder what they stand for?

ot on the heels of their recent sneaky Toronto catch-up, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning their next big step… their first Christmas as a couple!

The holiday is a big deal for members of the royal family, and Harry knows that the Queen has strict rules about who can attend Chrissie dinner at Sandringham.

Even his sister-in-law Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, had to wait a decade before she scored an invite! But the handsome royal was still disappointed when his nan refused to make an exception for his new girlfriend.

‘Until they get engaged, Meghan will not have a place around that Christmas dinner table,’ explains royal expert Katie Nicholl.

‘If you think about all those years that Prince William was courting Kate Middleton, she had to wait 10 years until she was invited.’

That won’t stop Harry, 32, and Meghan, 35, spending the holiday together, though! And with Sandringham off the agenda, it looks like the lovebirds will now make plans to spend

In lieu of wedding gifts, the humble Hemsworth is asking guests ‘to donate to a charity of their choosing’. His parents must be proud!

s winter eclipses the US, Miley Cyrus is dreaming of a hot Aussie summer – and it won’t be long until her dreams become reality. In a matter of weeks, Miss Cyrus will become Mrs Hemsworth when she marries the love of her life, Liam, in an intimate Byron Bay affair. ‘They’re getting married on the beach,’ spills a pal of the pair’s Australian nuptials over the holiday season.

But that’s not all the long-time lovebirds have to celebrate. Before Donald Trump was voted in as US President in November, 24-year-old Miley vowed that she’d move out of the country if he was elected, insisting, ‘I don’t say things I don’t mean!’ Now, she’s making good on her word, amid rumours she’s the mystery fourth judge on the new season of The Voice Australia.

As of 2017, the young lovers are set to call Byrron Bay home, where Liam’s older brother b Chris and wife Elsa Pataky live with their three children.

‘Miley has loved her trips Down U Under.

is really envious of the laid-back life they lead in Byron Bay and would love to try living there.’

Her 26-year-old hubby-to-be is totally on the same page. After all, the Hemsworth boys grew up on Victoria’s Phillip Island, the polar opposite to fame-hungry Hollywood. ‘I grew up by the beach… I’m much more conditioned to that sort of lifestyle,’ Liam admits.

So a beach ceremony is perfect for this twosome, who rekindled their engagement in January after splitting three years earlier.

And their families couldn’t be more excited.

‘I love Liam. He’s been in the family for a really long time, so he’s like a big brother to me,’ says Miley’s little sister Noah, 16.

Earlier this month, friends of the couple expressed concerns that the pair might not make it down the aisle due to them ‘fighting nonstop’. But with the Can’t Stop singer spotted out and about in LA with Liam, his parents Leonie and Craig, and eldest brother Luke and his wife Samantha, it looks like all is back on track for the wedding.

However, it’s unlikely Miley’s future in-laws know too much about the finer details of the big day, says a well-placed insider. ‘Miley’s usually really open, but this is one thing she’s being secretive about. She doesn’t want any of the details getting out.’ And that includes the Cyrus clan! ‘She’s sworn her family to secrecy.

They’ve all made a pact not to say anything.’

‘Health-wise, it’s been a bit sketchy this year,’ the 41-year-old tells OK!.

‘I was advised to cut right back on grains,’ she tells. ‘The one lesson I learnt this year? To put my health before everything else.’

Justin gave everyone an eyeful in August, when he was caught skinny dipping in Hawaii with Aussie model Sahara Ray. But JB’s pants weren’t the only thing he let down this year – his fans were devastated when the singer deleted his Instagram account in August. ‘Instagram is for the devil… I think hell is Instagram,’ he recently declared. ‘We get sent to hell and we get locked in the Instagram server, and I’m stuck in the DMs.’ Um, OK… It didn’t deter the faithful Beliebers, though!

She’s appeared on the cover of Interview magazine, hung out at New York Fashion Week with her co-star Winona Ryder and proved she can do a damn good job rapping like Nicki Minaj! Humble as can be, Millie was stunned by her overnight success. ‘It really came out of the blue, to be honest.’ And, in case you’re wondering, all the kids will be back for season two, including Millie’s co-stars Caleb McLaughlin, 15, Gaten Matarazzo, 14, and Finn Wolfhard, 13. ‘We’re just like brothers and sisters, it’s just a great bond,’ says Gaten, who plays lovable geek Dustin. ‘We had so much fun on set together.’

Love her or hate her, Taylor found her name on everybody’s lips this year.

And if that didn’t get people talking (which, ahem, it did!), Tay was spotted snuggling up to British actor Tom Hiddleston just two weeks later! What followed were three months of over-the-top PDAs, as they took their love around the world to England, Italy and even Australia, before the romance died off as quickly as it had begun. But while the 27-year old’s love life took a hit, her bank account definitely didn’t! By November, she was topping Forbes’s list of richest celebs under 30, raking in a cool $230 million. And there’s sure to be more drama to come with news that Tay’s hitting the recording studio again with some brand new material. Uh, all we can say is look out, Calvin and Tom!

But there was so much more going on for the diva, whose gamechanging visual album Lemonade took out Rolling Stone’s Album of the Year in November. She also took a dip in the fashion pool this year, releasing a collab with Topshop in April. Bey’s goal was to ‘push the boundaries of athletic wear and to support and inspire women who understand that beauty is more than your physical appearance’ – and, clearly, she nailed it. Before Ivy Park had even launched, the line became the most-engaged fashion brand on Instagram, and pieces sold out within hours of hitting shelves.

Always swim between the flags. The red and yellow flags indicate a patrolled beach, usually where the rip current is weakest, and also provides a zone that surfers aren’t allowed to enter, making it safer for swimmers.

Teach children to swim at an early age. One of the greatest advantages to being enrolled in a nippers programme is that it teaches the young how to handle surf conditions – a crucial skill for Aussie kids!

Listen to lifesavers’ warnings and always obey them. Our trained and watchful volunteers on the beach can see hazards you can’t – so in a potentially dangerous environment their word is law!

03

Watch your children at all times. Despite their vigilant presence, the volunteer lifesavers that patrol Australia’s beaches are not babysitters! As parents, it’s your responsibility to always know where your kids are, and to make sure they aren’t unwittingly drifting outside the flags.

Learn CPR; it may be a life saver. The primary aim of nippers is to teach kids enough water safety to have zero preventable deaths at the beach.

You can do your part by learning the key life-saving skill of CPR. It takes only a few hours to get certified – and could be the most important lesson you ever learn.

Kim’s heist & anye hospitalised fter making an incredible body comeback following the birth of her son Saint West in December 2015, it was looking like one of Kim Kardashian’s biggest years yet. But fast-forward to October, and the reality star was left shaken and traumatised when she was robbed at gunpoint during her stay in Paris for Fashion Week.

The 36-year-old was held up in her private residence by five armed men disguised as police, who made off with millions of dollars’ worth of jewellery. A spokeswoman for Kim said at the time that she was ‘badly shaken but physically unharmed’.

As more and more information emerged about the robbery, fans and officials alike were left scratching their heads about details 44 WWW.OKMAGAZINE.COM.AU

‘I’ve been sent here to give y’all my truth, even at the risk of my own life,’ Kanye told fans in a 17-minute rant at his November 19 show in Sacramento, before storming off the stage.

that didn’t appear to add up, and questioning why Kim’s security team wasn’t present at the time. However, the French police took the matter very seriously and Kim was forced to make a statement before jetting out of Paris the next day to be reunited with her husband and kids back in the US. Since the robbery, the usually spotlightobsessed star has been absent from social media, remaining silent about her ordeal and barely leaving the house since the attack.

‘Kim is still very shaken up about the entire situation,’ said an insider after the incident.

‘She’s still focused on trying to feel better about the whole situation.’ It seemed the Kim we once knew was well and truly gone.

Six weeks on, however, the mum-of-two

was set to make her first public appearance since the robbery – but tragedy struck the family again. Kim’s husband Kanye West, who had been on his Saint Pablo tour since August, was hospitalised on November 21 for psychiatric evaluation amid fears for his own health and safety.

The 39-year-old had sparked concern just days earlier during an onstage meltdown, when he badmouthed ‘close’ friends Beyoncé and Jay Z on stage. ‘Beyoncé, I was hurt because I hear that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me,’ the rapper ranted. Even more disturbing was his insinuation that Jay Z might have him killed. ‘Jay Z – call me, bruh.

After a steady stream m of bizarre behaviour, absurd outbursts and getting caught up in an extremely public feud with Taylor Swift (see p47) and other artists, it appears Kim’s robbery could’ve been n the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back.

Following their January engagement, Mariah Carey and James Packer looked set to host one of the most lavish weddings of the year – if the massive $10 million diamond ring was anything to go by! But after months of luxury yacht trips, dirty dance floor antics and lavish gifts, things quickly turned sour. ‘Mariah and James had a fight in Greece and have not seen each other since,’ the singer’s reps announced in October. The statement started an epic mudslinging match between the two stars’ camps, with Mariah’s side claiming the split was due to James’s Scientology influences, and pals of the 49-year-old billionaire saying it was due to Mimi’s excessive spending and the drama surrounding her docu-series.

With Mariah, 46, since spotted cavorting with her back-up dancer Bryan Tanaka, it looks like this romance has well and truly fizzled out.

The bitter end of Brange Fans were thrown for a loop when news broke on September 20 that Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after almost 12 years together. Her attorney revealed her decision was made ‘for the health of the family’, and the 41-year-old actress-turned-humanitarian requested sole physical custody of their six children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, eight.

Just days later it was reported that Brad was under investigation for child abuse, following an alleged altercation on a plane with eldest son Maddox on August 15. The divorce filing sparked a flood of allegations, from reports that Brad was addicted to marijuana and alcohol to the actor having anger management issues.

Since the alleged incident, the 53-year-old actor has had limited contact with the children. However, he was thoroughly investigated by the FBI and cleared of any wrongdoing. Brad went on to file for joint custody of the couple’s kids, but until the permanent custody agreement is nutted out, Ange remains the main caregiver. Either way, amid the fighting, it’s clear the parents care deeply for their children and want to move forward.

‘Brad’s furious that Ange has taken the kids away from him for absolutely no reason,’ a pal reveals of their ongoing custody battle

The extent of the couple’s turbulent relationship has come to light since the split

ALL EYES ON JEN In a temporary custody agreement, the six children will stay in Ange’s care and continue ‘therapeutic visits’ with Brad

Bey makes Lemonade

One word summed up 2016 for Beyoncé: Lemonade. Bey’s hour-long visual album was a game-changer, and had EVERYONE asking: Just who the hell is ‘Becky with the good hair’? ‘You can taste the dishonesty, it’s all over your breath as you pass it off so cavalier,’ the 35-year-old songstress blasts in the album’s opening line, later outright asking, ‘Are you cheating on me?’ The world instantly assumed Bey’s angry words were directed at her husband Jay Z. Cheating rumours have swirled for years, and ramped up since Jay Z’s infamous elevator scuffle with Bey’s sister Solange two years ago, which some believed was sparked by his close friendship with designer Rachel Roy. But whatever the story behind the songs, one thing quickly became clear: Bey and Jay, 47, managed to patch over their differences. Lemonade was released on Jay Z’s streaming service Tidal, and the pair have been spotted looking loved up ever since, packing on the PDAs more than ever at Hillary Clinton’s pre-Election Day concert in November.

‘I endured excessive emotional, verbal and physical abuse from Johnny,’ Amber said in her statement

Johnny & Amber’s violent end A day after Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny Depp, explosive claims emerged alleging the 53-year-old actor had assaulted his estranged wife following a drunken argument. Using photos of her bruised face as evidence, the 30-year-old applied for a temporary restraining order against Johnny, claiming that he had begun ‘obsessing over something that wasn’t true’ and ‘became extremely angry’ during an argument on May 21, throwing a phone at her and striking her cheek and eye ‘with extreme force’.

The pair, who met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2011 and married in February 2015, were said to have had a tumultuous relationship amid rumours of jealous

paranoia, drunken rages and manipulative greed.

The volatile nature of their relationship was confirmed when video footage emerged of Johnny, seemingly inebriated, throwing a wine bottle and glass across the kitchen when Amber tries to talk to him. While it became one of the nastiest divorce battles we’ve seen in Hollywood for a while, it came to an end when Amber withdrew her restraining order request, agreeing to a $9.4 million settlement – which she donated to charity. ‘Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love,’ a joint statement read. ‘Neither party has made false accusations for financial gains.’

The 29-year-old asked a judge to release her from her music contract with Sony so she didn’t have to work with Dr Luke, who’s on the company’s books.

Kim’s little sister Khloé, 32, leapt into the fray, posting a snap of a Chloë look-alike with her swimmers graphically askew. ‘Is this the a hole you’re referring to @ChloeGMoretz ???’ she sniped.

coincidence? I left instantly and thought how sad is that!’ the famed cricketer blasted on social media.

Brynne, 33, denies it was a set-up.

‘A nightcap was the last thing on his mind. He was more interested in staying the night,’ she told a local mag. ‘It’s sad that Shane has chosen to respond in this fashion. I used to have a huge crush on him.’ Snap!

When Sam, 27, and Sasha, 31, unfollowed each other on Instagram, people were quick to jump to conclusions – much to Sam’s exasperation.

Jim slammed over ex’s tragic suicide

‘She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil,’ Jim said after Cathriona’s death

A year after the heartbreaking suicide of Jim Carrey’s exgirlfriend Cathriona White, accusations began to fly as the Ace Ventura star was faced with two wrongful death lawsuits.

Cathriona’s estranged husband Mark Burton was the first to seek damages in September, alleging that Jim, 54, provided the pills that led to Cathriona’s tragic suicide in 2015. He claims the Hollywood star had an ‘obsession with controlling and manipulating’ Cathriona, 30, and pills that were

found in her system had been prescribed under Jim’s own pseudonym, Arthur King. Hitting back, Jim’s lawyers claimed that Cathriona only married Mark to obtain a ‘green card’ to prevent deportation to her native Ireland.

The next month, Cathriona’s mother Brigid Sweetman also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Jim, claiming the actor had also given her daughter ‘three STDs without warning her’. Denying the allegations, Jim accused Mark and Brigid of fraud. ‘They are driven by greed,’ he wrote in a motion to the Superior Court.

But there were more disturbing details to come this year, after the 34-yearold was accused of possessing hundreds of thousands of child pornography images, and raping a 22-year-old woman.

Mark’s ex-girlfriend and Glee co-star Naya Rivera openly expressed her dismay.

‘When Mark dumped me, I thought it was the worst thing ever, but can you imagine if that didn’t happen?’

Selena Gomez elena certainly had a tough year, with the 24-year-old cutting short her Revival world tour in August, revealing she needed to manage the side effects of her lupus diagnosis. ‘As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways,’ she shared in a statement. ‘I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges.’

After she checked into a rehab facility in Tennessee, many questioned whether the singer’s mental health problems had been amplified by her tumultuous on-and-off relationship with bad boy singer Justin

Bieber and the June death of her close friend Christina Grimmie, who was shot by a crazed fan. ‘Selena is dealing with lupus, but this break is to focus on her mental health,’ a pal said at the time.

‘She can go to a very dark place.’

Selena stepped back into the spotlight at the American Music Awards in November and made an impassioned speech about her mental health and recovery as she accepted an award. ‘I had to stop because I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside,’ she admitted. ‘I kept it all together enough to where I would never let [fans] down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down.’

‘I feel quite uncomfortable about a the last few months with Egor’ Egor.

Justin Bieber The singer’s erratic behaviour has had his team on edge throughout 2016, with a number of incidents sparking concerns for the 22-year-old. From his social media rants about ‘feeling like a zoo animal’ and cancelling his meet-andgreets with fans, to criticising awards shows and walking around barefoot in Boston, Justin has had a year of ups and downs. ‘People around Justin are nervous about him and worry that he could have a breakdown,’ an insider said in June, following a brawl outside a Cleveland hotel. ‘The situation is serious and no-one is taking it lightly. Justin is extremely burnt out and just needs a break.’

‘Her health is now in real danger,’ a friend reveals

Tara Reid The actress was a frightening sight on Halloween, showing off an emaciated frame as she headed to a party. Although Tara denies she has weight issues, the star’s pals say the 41-year-old ‘refuses to eat’.

‘She might have a handful of almonds or a protein shake, but she gets the rest of her calories from booze,’ says a concerned pal. ‘She’s skin and bones, except her stomach is bloated from all the drinking.

It’s like she has a death wish.’

Tara is no stranger to rehab, having battled with substance abuse back in 2008, and now many think she’s on her way back there. ‘She’s in desperate need of help,’ adds an insider.

The star’s mother called police on November 16 for a welfare check, after 39-year-old Brooke had been seen ‘swinging’ at her and Charlie’s seven-year-old twins, Max and Bob. The previous night, Brooke was spotted barefoot at a bar, arguing with the nanny – with her sons in tow. ‘Brooke went off of her medications,’ an insider said at the time. ‘She is being treated for the issue now. The boys are fine and with their nanny.’

‘I’ve tried sticking up for myself.

I’ve tried the whole “blocking the haters” thing, not reading the comments. I’ve tried a lot of things; ignoring it. But it’s hard.’

The teen confessed that a few years earlier, hurtful comments had led her to try to take her own life. ‘When I was 14, I got so much hatred that I tried to kill myself and I took, like, a two-year break from social media… [When I returned] nothing changed!’ she revealed. ‘I’m just tired of it.

I’m just really, really tired.’

Chloe Lattanzi

Chloe’s obsession with stardom has her mum Olivia Newton-John, 68, fearing she’s ‘going off the edge’. This year, fans have seen Chloe, 30, unravel via Insty, where she often posts heavily doctored images of herself, lengthy rants and emotional confessions. ‘Thank whoever you were for calling me out on my bullshit. I’ve got to remember [I’m] never going to be perfect,’ she wrote beside a ‘real’ and ‘altered’ snap. But her rail-thin figure and cosmetic enhancements didn’t go unnoticed, with Chloe later admitting, ‘I didn’t have a clear sense of myself so I had my lips plumped up.’

Chloe posted these digitally altered pictures of herself to appear skinnier, prompting concerns she may be battling body dysmorphia once again

Weddings Audrina & Corey NOVEMBER 5

fter eight years together, Audrina Patridge, 31, and Corey Bohan, 34, finally tied the knot in an idyllic ocean-front ceremony in Hawaii.

The pair exchanged vows with their five-month-old daughter Kirra Max watching on. ‘We are so incredibly lucky,’ says Audrina. ‘Kirra is the happiest, most beautiful baby.’

The former The Hills star wore a figure-hugging embroidered gown for her big day, adding a red flower to her tousled locks for a beachy vibe.

‘I wanted a boho yet glamorous feel and that’s exactly what we came up with,’ Audrina shares.

The blushing bride admitted they wanted to keep the celebrations small. ‘As far as friends go, we only invited the ones who’ve been there for us in the past year and who will continue to be there for us for the next 30,’ she said prior to their wedding. ‘No one from The Hills made the cut.’

‘I was so nervous!

But holding Corey’s hand and having Kirra there made the jitters go away,’ Audrina admits

‘Now we are looking forward to the marriage part,’ Eva says of settling down after her nuptials, which she celebrated with good friends David and Victoria Beckham [inset]

Jesinta & Buddy NOVEMBER 4

After keeping us guessing for almost two years about when they would walk down the aisle, Jesinta Campbell and AFL player Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin surprised us all when they said ‘I do’ in a top-secret, super-intimate ceremony on November 4. The model confirmed they had tied the knot the previous day, uploading a snap to Instagram of the pair in their finery, with the caption, ‘Mr & Mrs Franklin’. While the big day was a private affair, the couple by no means skimped on their luxe celebration – with Jesinta

donning not one, but two custom-made Vera Wang gowns, said to have set her back a whopping $20,000 each! In a bid to keep the day hushhush, the pair also had guests check in on social media at different locations throughout Australia and New Zealand to keep the nuptials under wraps.

But when the wedding snaps began to hit our newsfeeds, the garden nuptials were revealed to have been held in Mount Wilson’s Wilderstein Gardens in the NSW Blue Mountains – a beautiful location for a beautiful couple!

Eva & José MAY 21

Eva Longoria tied the knot with her media mogul beau José ‘Pepe’ Bastón in a breathtaking lakeside ceremony in Valle de Bravo, Mexico. Melanie Griffith, Ricky Martin, Mario Lopez and David Beckham were just a few of the celeb attendees – with Eva’s bestie Victoria Beckham also on hand to help with the dress. ‘I asked Victoria to do my dress because I wanted it to be special and made with love,’ says Eva of her gown.

‘Victoria was one of my witnesses, too – she signed the paper that says I was here – so it was a

Victoria Beckham weekend. She was the best, sweetest person to have there on this day. She’s one of my best friends, so for her to be there was so special.’ It hasn’t taken long for the pair to settle into married life, with the actress insisting they already felt married before their big day. ‘Even before we got engaged, we just felt married. We called one another “my husband” and “my wife,”’ she said recently. ‘It didn’t take either one of us very long to know that “This is The One.” In my case, it only took 40 years to find him!’

‘Breathtaking on her wedding day,’ Jesinta’s make-up artist Chantelle Baker shared

The cute couple made the most of their nuptials, stretching the Moroccan celebration over three big days

Dianna Agron tied the knot with her Mumford and Sons beau of one year, Winston Marshall, in an intimate celebration in Marrakesh, Morocco, on October 15. The wedding was a particularly exotic affair, with the bride and groom arriving at the ceremony on camels and the reception venue decorated with a beautiful mix of traditional Moroccan ornaments and fresh plants and flowers. The floor, too, was strewn with colourful Moroccan rugs. The former Glee star wore a stunning sequin-embellished Valentino dress and a crown of stars, and later swapped the $27,600 gown for another off-therunway pick – this time from Gucci – paired with a cream turban. Her muso hubby donned a brocade jacket and, in keeping with the theme, a turban, too. The festivities lasted for three days, with guests such as Carey Mulligan and US Vogue accessories editor Selby Drummond joining the happy couple to celebrate their nuptials.

The Aussie model opted for a classic ball gown for the ceremony, later changing into a sheer lace dress for the poolside reception

SHIA & MIA OCTOBER 10 News of Shia LaBeouf marrying his on-off partner of four years, Mia Goth, hit when TMZ uploaded a video of the pair’s Vegas nuptials. ‘The plan was for it to be a private deal… [but] somebody pressed the wrong button that sends the video to TMZ,’ explained Shia, adding that, in the end, the leak was no biggie. ‘It’s love. We’re proud of it.’ Cute!

‘Always a bridesmaid,’ Rachel instagrammed before her brother John’s wedding on June 4. Could it be a subtle hint to her boyfriend of nine years, Hayden Christensen?

After her fourth stint as a bridesmaid at her friend Laura Simpson’s wedding on May 26, JLaw is done. ‘Weddings rock, but I will never be a bridesmaid again. It’s horrendous!’

‘Very proud to be a bmaid,’ Amy shared from her pal Tara Alana’s August 13 nuptials. Amy was joined by her beau Ben Hanisch, who celebrated his 30th birthday the same night!

‘I loved reading my vows and hearing Gary read his,’ Nicole says of the nuptials, which they shared with their son Zion [inset]

Following a whirlwind five-month romance, former supermodel Jerry Hall tied the knot with her media tycoon beau Rupert Murdoch in a low-key ceremony at Spencer House in London. The small civil ceremony was attended by their close family and friends, but the pair didn’t skip out on a big white wedding, backing up the intimate service with a larger celebration the following day.

Between them, the pair have 10 children from previous marriages, all of whom attended and played a role in the couple’s bridal party. Also among the 100 guests were A-listers Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bob Geldof, and Bianca and Jade Jagger. Rupert took to Twitter after the ceremony to express his joy. ‘Feel like the luckiest AND happiest man in the world,’ he wrote.

Nicole & Gary APRIL 19

They met and fell in love at the iconic Coachella music festival in 2012, so it was only fitting for Nicole Trunfio and Gary Clark Jr to return to the California desert to say their ‘I dos’ four years later. The pair were joined by family and friends, along with their one-year-old son Zion, as they made their union

official on a Tuesday, in between Gary’s weekend sets at the festival! ‘I felt absolute bliss at the end of the night,’ Nicole says of her big day. ‘I felt so honoured to be surrounded by such incredible people. We were blessed to have these people all together in one place and all getting along.’

The newlyweds had plenty of family on hand to help them celebrate, including Jerry’s model daughters Georgia May and Elizabeth Jagger

Engagement Miley & Liam

Miley Cyrus, 24, and Liam Hemsworth, 26, first got engaged in 2012, before calling it off the following year. They got back together in late 2015, and as we rang in the New Year, Miley stepped out wearing her original engagement ring.

Fast-forward several months and even Miley admitting she doesn’t actually like her sparkler couldn’t shake this pair! After the singer revealed the ring ‘isn’t my aesthetic’, her beau gifted her a hefty gold dazzler covered in rainbowcoloured gemstones. ‘You always know how to make my “grubby little kid fingers” *SHINE*!!!’ she posted.

Evan & Miranda Announcing their engagement in July, Miranda Kerr, 33, and Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel, 26, took to social media with their own personalised filter to share the news. ‘I said yes!!!’ the model captioned the pic.

Jason ‘I have an amazing partner,’ says Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, 29, of Jason Statham, 49. ‘He’s by far the greatest influence in my life.’ With Jason by her side, she stepped out on the Golden Globes red carpet in January sporting a huge diamond – rumoured to be worth a whopping $413,000.

Kylie & Joshua nnouncing their engagement old-school style, Kylie Minogue and her actor beau Joshua Sasse confirmed they were set to wed by taking out an ad in the Forthcoming Marriages section of UK newspaper The Telegraph. Cute!

The pair met on the set of Galavant in 2015 while 48-year-old Kyles was filming a guest role. However, although the couple are clearly totally nuts about each other, their journey to the altar may not be all smooth sailing, with Joshua confessing he and Kylie will not tie the knot until gay same-sex marriage is legalised in Australia.

‘There are chances of a Melbourne wedding,’ the 29-year-old revealed in October. ‘But me and Kylie have talked about it, and we are not comfortable getting married until this law has passed.’ Onya, guys!

Chyna & Rob It’s been a whirlwind romance for Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna!

The 35-year-old actress announced her pregnancy without saying a word, preferring to rock up to the Venice Film Festival red carpet wearing a beautiful white Grecian-style dress… and a blossoming bump!

The expectant mum has opened up about parenting – and makes it sound like a breeze! ‘It made me much calmer under stress,’ she reveals. ‘Because there’s that weird parent thing you develop, that when things get really bad, your voice gets calm and your blood pressure slows, and you can make everything OK again.’

she’s happy and, most importantly, healthy. ‘So blessed and excited that our family is growing again,’ she shared. ‘I took the test, and Dean said, “Oh my God, we’re going to be the Brady Bunch!” He was saying, “We just got Finn out of diapers!

I thought we were in the clear!”’ Tori recalls. ‘For the first time, they’re all in school. So it’s like, “Wow, what did we just do to ourselves?”

Prince Harry & Meghan fter the Royal Palace released a statement on November 8 to announce that Prince Harry’s ‘girlfriend Meghan Markle’ was being subjected to a torrent of abuse online over their rumoured relationship, there was a collective jaw-drop around the globe. Firstly, because the royal had actually confirmed his romance with the 35-year-old – unheard of! – and secondly, because Harry, 32, has never publicly defended the honour of any of his former flames… ever!

Cue the wedding announcement!

Iggy Az a, 26, utt con rm er romance with French Montana, 32, when she was spotted kissing the rapper on a yacht in Mexico back in late August. The smooch-fest came more than a month after she dumped her cheating fiancé Nick Young.

JLaw & Darren

Mark November 2 in your calendars – that was the day Jennifer Lawrence went public with director Darren Aronofsky! The 26-year-old actress and Darren, 47, were spotted kissing, cuddling and even sharing a lollipop on the streets of New York. Friends say the superprivate pair are a perfect match because, ‘He does not seem like a person who enjoys being a celebrity. Jennifer is the same.’

Couples KStew & St. Vincent Forget love triangles, we like to call this a love square! Kristen Stewart, 26, was still believed to be dating on-again-off-again girlfriend Alicia Cargile – as well as having a brief fling with singer Soko in March – when she hooked up with Annie ‘St. Vincent’ Clark, who Cara Delevingne was madly in love with. So, when KStew and St. Vincent, 34, were spotted hanging out from New York to LA and back again, it was obvious these two were more than just friends! A month earlier, in September, Cara told British Vogue, ‘I’m completely in love. Before [St. Vincent], I didn’t know what love was.’

Joe & Sophie Did someone say ‘Sex is on fire’?

Joe Jonas, 27, and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, 20, used a Kings of Leon concert to debut their secret relationship on November 5, complete with PDA! ‘They were kissing,’ spilled a concertgoer, who was also at the band’s Netherlands show.

‘She was all smiley and he looked really sweet.’ It sounds like a perfect pairing for the young lovers. ‘Joe likes that Sophie is super independent,’ an insider spills. ‘She will buy him drinks. He totally digs it!’

Billionaire alert! Kaley Cuoco has landed herself the heir to a $2.6 billion tech fortune, just months after splitting from her tennis-pro hubby Ryan Sweeting. Kaley, 31, first went public with Karl Cook, 26, in March, but it wasn’t until August that the Big Bang Theory actress opened up about the guy who stole her heart. ‘Karl is very sweet,’ she gushes. ‘I couldn’t be happier.

Life is completely amazing – everything is amazing.’

Sounds, well… amazing!

Ruby & Jess The setting for The Veronicas’ music video On Your Side turned into the perfect place to rekindle a burnt-out flame for Jess Origliasso, 32, and Ruby Rose, 30, who starred in the twins’ clip. ‘We just reconnected over doing this video, she wrote and directed it, and is in it with us and we sort of just fell in love,’ Jess gushes. The girls sealed their relationship with tattoos of each other’s names and fans are being inundated with sexy snuggle snaps on Instagram.

Get a room, ladies!

Khloé & Tristan

Diamonds, smooch selfies and a trip to Mexico – Khloé Kardashian, 32, completed the hat-trick when she went public with pro basketball player Tristan Thompson, 25, in September. But unlike her other relationships, Khloé is keeping this one out of the spotlight, preferring cosy nights in at her Calabasas mansion to red carpets. ‘It’s, like, intimate one-on-one time.

I’m more of an at-home person.

[We like to] just chill at home.

That’s really what we do, mellow. We’re not that exciting.’

Oh, KoKo – how you’ve changed!

Jasmine

DWAYNE ‘THE ROCK’ JOHNSON & LAUREN HASHIAN At just one, The Rock’s daughter Jasmine already has us all in stitches… via her dad, of course! ‘I had an amazing philosophical conversation w/my baby girl about the value of hard work and how respect is given when it’s earned,’ The Rock shared. ‘I told her, “Baby girl, when you grow up, you get out there and dent the universe thru hard work and sweat.”

She responded by pooing on me,’ the star joked.

ittle Reign has definitely stolen our hearts, with his cheeky grin that’s sure to make anyone smile.

And mum Kourtney isn’t immune to his charms either! ‘Madly in love with my little Reign Aston Disick,’ she tweeted.

But it’s mini fashionista Penelope who really caught our attention this year, with the four-yearold definitely taking after her mum and reality star aunties!

‘[She] is really into hair and beauty, I think from just seeing me,’ says mum Kourt of her gorgeous daughter. ‘We get our hair done together.’

‘She loves make-up, she loves to put colour in her hair. We found these natural powder colours, so they’re not bad for you. She’ll do those once a week, like a fun colour. I love to let [her] experiment and play and just have fun with it.’

Laila & Louis SANDR A BULLOCK

‘I have the loudest children on the planet. I don’t know if it’s the acoustics, but they are amazing,’ says mum Sandra, 52, of her two adopted children, six-year-old Louis and four-year-old Laila. ‘They are just good, funny souls.’

Adds the doting mum, ‘The most peaceful time of day is when I know for a fact that both of them are successfully asleep. I can leave their room knowing we have another day under our belt.’

Sandra couldn’t be happier with her beautiful brood.

‘I can tell you absolutely, the exact right children came to me at the exact right time,’ she says. ‘My family is blended and diverse, nutty, and loving and understanding. That’s a family.’

SAINT & NORTH KIM K ARDASHIAN & K ANYE WEST After welcoming son Saint last December, Kim opened up about becoming a parent for the second time. ‘My mum would always say about having kids: “One is like one, and two are like 20.” I never really understood that until now,’ she said. We’ve loved seeing sassy North smile more in 2016 as she hangs with bestie and cousin Penelope Disick. And it’s no surprise that Kim and Kanye are completely in love with their two cuties. ‘I think [Saint’s], like, you know, a daddy’s boy and North is a mama’s girl, so we each have one,’ reality star Kim laughs.

Tristan & Sasha

CHRIS HEMSWORTH & ELSA PATAKY With parents like Chris and Elsa, two-year-old twins Sasha and Tristan are certainly blessed in the genetics department – but that doesn’t stop them from being little rascals! ‘Each time you add one it feels like three more,’ Chris joked about his brood of three. ‘It feels like I have six.

They’re non-stop, active kids.’

He adds, ‘My daughter [India, four] is full of energy, like my wife and I, and strong-minded and has an opinion. And my boys, one’s a bit more calm and chill and the other is much more sensitive to things.’

Chris and Elsa often share beautiful moments with their kids on Insty.

‘A picture says a thousand words,’ the Hollywood hunk recently captioned a pic of himself and one of the boys taking in a twilight view. ‘My kid only says about 4 but he’s still awesome and way cooler than this sunset.’ Aww! JANUARY 2, 2017 83

HAMISH BLAKE & ZOË FOSTER BLAKE It’s fair to say the OK! office has a little obsession with Hamish and Zoë’s sweet two-year-old Sonny. The chubby-cheeked fella often has us in stitches with his adorable antics on Instagram. ‘I think he watches too much Peppa Pig because he’s got a bit of a British accent now,’ Zoë revealed earlier this year.

And with two hilarious parents, Sonny is said to be becoming a little bit of a funny guy himself!

‘Sonny has good comic timing,’ Hamish says.

‘He’s sensitive and sweet and thoughtful and really cares about the little things.’

Edith

CATE BLANCHET T & ANDREW UPTON Edith, or ‘Edie’, was the perfect addition to their family of five last year. ‘We got a phone call earlier this year and we adopted a little girl,’ Cate revealed. ‘Our three biological children have been extraordinary.’ And it’s clear they are enamoured by the gorgeous one-year-old. ‘She’s more beautiful in real life. It’s extraordinary,’ gushes Cate.

Zion

NICOLE TRUNFIO & GARY CLARK JR We seriously hope that Aussie model Nicole and her DJ hubby are keen to expand their family, because we just can’t get over their adorable son Zion Rain. The 23-monthold has been making our ovaries explode all through 2016 and we expect there’ll be plenty more cuteness to come from this little rascal.

The tot is way more than just a pretty face, though.

Turns out he’s the inspo for his papa’s tunes!

‘I was in the studio and I couldn’t think about anything else but my boy,’ Gary recalls of working while waiting for Zion’s arrival. ‘[My latest album is] very much inspired by my boy,’ he adds.

Wyatt ASHTON KUTCHER & MILA KUNIS Ashton and Mila, who recently welcomed their second child together, have one smart cookie on their hands! ‘She can speak and understand English [and] she can speak and understand Spanish,’ actor Ashton revealed of two-year-old Wyatt recently. ‘She can [also] understand Russian, but she can’t really speak it yet.’

And while Wyatt is a mini-genius in the making, the cutie also has a rebellious side to her.

‘When your [two-year-old] drops an F bomb and it is (not funny) except it’s really funny and you can’t laugh,’ Ashton tweeted about his little troublemaker.

PRINCE GEORGE & PRINCESS CHARLOTTE DUKE & DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE, WILLIAM & CATHERINE ‘George is a right little rascal sometimes,’ says William of his three-year-old son and future heir to the throne. ‘He keeps me on my toes but he’s a sweet boy.’ Meanwhile, the world has become utterly obsessed with little Princess Charlotte – especially since her first official royal tour of Canada in September. The 19-month-old had fans overjoyed when she said her first public word, ‘pop’, as she played with balloons.

Kombucha!

The A-listers love it, so naturally, we had to give Kombucha a try in 2016. The fermented beverage has been hailed as the elixir of youth and a cure for a number of ailments, with a host of celebs, including Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry and Reese Witherspoon, swearing by the benefits of the ancient tea. The drink detoxifies the body, improves skin elasticity and increases energy, and studies have also shown that it helps protect the liver, fight yeast infections and slow down the ageing process – so it’s no surprise Hollywood is hooked on the stuff! TBH, we’re going to keep this one trending into 2017 because All Of The Benefits…

AB CRACK

2016’s answer to the thigh gap, the ab crack took social media by storm to become the newest unachievable body trend. Emily Ratajkowski, 25, is the unofficial poster girl for the fad and has the much-coveted line down the centre of her stomach.

JUDE & RAFFERTY CINDY & KAIA ‘[She’s] so much more confident than I was!’ says Cindy Crawford, 50, of her 15-year-old daughter, who is following her lead with a modelling career.

‘I do worry,’ Jude Law, 43, admits of his 20-yearold son Rafferty following him into the spotlight.

‘He’s got to find his own path, make his own mistakes.’

VANESSA & LILY-ROSE ‘I was not surprised she has gone into this industry,’ Vanessa Paradis, 44, says of 17-year-old Lily-Rose’s foray into modelling.

mp Hollywood loves a bit of drama, so when Donald Trump’s US presidential bid looked set to become a reality, dozens of celebs vowed to pack their bags if he won. ‘My act will change because I will need to learn to speak p Spanish,’ Amy Schumeer joked. ‘Because I will move to Spain orr somewhere.’

Girls star Lena Dunham said she knew ‘a lovely place in Vanco ouver’ to move to if the mogul nabbed d the election.

Which, of course, he d did…

While some A-listers were slamming Trump, oth hers used the time to lend theirr support to presidential rival Hillaary Clinton.

The rise of social media has seen image altering go mainstream.

A click of a button here and a small tweak there can make an image go from drab to fab, without forking out for plastic surgery. And while we’re all guilty of using a filter or two to our advantage, fans called out celebs for going to extremes and producing unrealistic images this year.

Eagle-eyed followers have caught out stars like Mariah Carey, Beyoncé and even Aussie celeb Natasha Oakley. ‘I think that everyone is doing [retouching] because of what they see in the media,’ admits A Bikini A Day blogger Natasha of the obsession. ‘I feel it – I’m a human and a natural curvy woman!’ Let’s make 2017 the rise of the #antifilter and get back to what’s natch, girls!

BEST LOVERS’ TIFF

CRINGIEST DATE EVER!

Forget ugly crying, ugly feuds are this year’s hottest talking point, and Blac Chyna, 28, owned it with her ‘Are you still texting bitches?’ rant at fiancé Rob Kardashian, 29, on their reality show Rob & Chyna.

Many thanks to The Bachelor for putting us off our fave treat this year, courtesy of Richie and Alex’s $3000 chocolate-filled bath date.

Rich called it his ‘most intimate moment’, viewers called it flat out ‘disgusting’. Agreed.

WE’RE READING HARRY POTTER AND BRIDGET JONES AGAIN The boy wizard who captured our attention in the late ’90s was brought back to life this year when JK Rowling released a story about Harry Potter’s adult life. Helen Fielding also revived Bridget Jones, revealing the beloved singleton has fallen pregnant.

We devoured both!

RETRO MOVIE MADNESS

The ’90s

Disney’s Tarzan won an Oscar in 1999, and the jungle hero returned this year with The Legend of Tarzan.

Unfortunately, not even stars Alexander Skarsgård and Margot Robbie could save the film from lukewarm reviews.

‘I do not take tonight for granted,’ the 42-yearold said during his acceptance speech.

WINONA RYDER IS COOL AGAIN STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED

Her fall from grace (ahem, the shoplifting) was spectacular and then she disappeared for almost a decade, but ’90s icon Winona Ryder, 45, is officially back with Netflix’s stand-out s supernatural series Stranger Things. The Edward Scissorhands actress plays the mother of a missing boy in the nostalgic thriller and says she’s relishing the role.

‘I’m finally getting to play my own age, and it’s liberating.

I would not want to go back to playing the ingénue.’

MIMI PROVED SHE’S STILL HOT PROPERTY NO-ONE CAN TAKE THIS DIVA DOWN

World-class songstress Mariah Carey, 46, who made a name for herself with ’90s hits Hero and Honey, has again reminded us why she deserves our worship with eight-part E! docu-series Mariah’s World. The special takes viewers inside her luxe life, and we even see her ‘evil’ alter ego Bianca in action. It’s beyond entertaining and as Mimi says, ‘real’, even if almost comically so.

In 1999, pop princess Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in his NSYNC years made tween dreams come true when they became an item. The pair split in 2002, but this year saw them reunite when they both topped the iTunes charts. However, in even more exciting news, the 35-yearold Can’t Stop The Feeling singer admitted he’d ‘absolutely’ consider a collaboration with Brit, also 35. Stay tuned!

PLAYING POKÉMON LIKE IT’S 1999…

Hands up who didn’t try to catch ’em all when Pokémon Go took over the world in July?! The app, which was 20 years in the making, had trainers old and new in a tizz and Pikachu a hot topic once more.

CHOKERS ARE BACK

This year, stars like Kendall Jenner, 21, and Taylor Swift, 27, tried to revive the trend that dominated our ’90s necks – chokers. And while they did so in a more fashionable way (no plastic to be seen in 2016!), the throwback was a tricky one to master, although The Bachelor’s Keira Maguire, 30, nailed it!

A CLINTON WAS IN THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN

Following in the footsteps of hubby Bill Clinton, who served as US President from 1993 to 2001, Hillary Clinton, 69, embarked upon an epic campaign to become the first female president of the US. She suffered a huge upset loss to former reality star Donald Trump, 70.

OUR OLD TV FAVES RETURNED

The shows that ruled our living rooms during the early ’90s, including Full House – now Fuller House – and The X Files were rebooted this year and became massive hits once more. And while season two of Fuller House has just landed on Netflix (it’s a goodie!), the next X Files offering won’t arrive until 2018.

MAKING A MURDERER

Proving just how powerful TV can be, this groundbreaking Netflix docu-series had the entire world questioning if Americans Steven Avery, 54, and his nephew Brendan Dassey, 27, were in fact guilty of the 2007 murder of Teresa Halbach. The convicted duo claimed they were framed by police, and the show made such a convincing case of their innocence that it kickstarted a campaign to free them both.

While Brendan’s release was announced last month, it was quickly overruled. A second yyear. season is ex

Our true crime GREW TO ALMOST CRIMINAL LEVELS THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON:

AMERICAN CRIME STORY From prison, OJ Simpson said he felt ‘indifferent’ about Cuba Gooding Jr’s portrayal of him in the series that followed his ’90s murder trial. It wasn’t a sentiment that viewers shared, however, and the Emmy-winning show received rave reviews. Our fave? David Schwimmer as the late Robert Kardashian.

SERIAL SEASON TWO

Podcast hit Serial once again had us hooked by digging into former POW Sergeant Robert ‘Bowe’ Bergdahl’s tricky desertion case.

AMANDA KNOX This one-sided Netflix doco captivated as ‘Foxy Knoxy’ and her ex Raffaele Sollecito (right) told their side of the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, for which they were twice convicted and released.

DECEMBER 19, 2016

JAN 21 – FEB 19

The way you’ve been living is about to change. Go with the flow and you’ll find things fall into place beautifully. Being the one who is forever trying to keep things in balance means this could prove to be a challenging time, but if you stand back and trust your gut, everything will work out.

This week’s mantra: I’m flexible.

Getting clear about what you do and don’t want is important. Everything depends on your level of patience.

Understanding who you want to be and what you want to do in the world is important. As far as relationships are concerned, you have been through the mill and it’s time to sort things out.

This week’s mantra: I am clear.

Deciding what you want will create a lot of pressure, but being willing to listen to others is a good move – realising you’re not always right will help to create a more balanced outlook. Listening to reason when it comes to where or how you are living will allow you to create exactly what you desire.

This week’s mantra: I listen to others.

So what’s it going to be: another stressed-out Christmas, or one that’s nice and easy? Whatever you do, don’t depend on others to organise anything. Decide what you want and make the calls. Many of you will be looking at getting away from it all.

A break will allow you to step back and reassess.

This week’s mantra: I know what I want.

Integrity is the word for you this week. Just know life as you’ve known it is about to change.

Whatever you’ve been doing that’s not in your or another’s best interest will result in a big dose of karma from the universe. What goes around comes around! Best to sort things out now.

This week’s mantra: Life is about integrity.

Put yourself first and do whatever makes you happy. If others take issue with this, that’s their problem. Leaving yourself open to manipulation is crazy.

Set your boundaries and start saying no. If someone makes you feel guilty, just remember that they’re trying to get you to do what they want.

This week’s mantra: I come first.

Setting boundaries and being clear will be your best course of action right now. Turning your frustration into action will reap rewards. Relying on others will be a total waste of time – this week is all about rolling up your sleeves. If you leave things to others, they are only going to mess it up.

This week’s mantra: I stand my ground.

Expecting others to understand where you’re coming from will be a total waste of time. When another sees things in black and white, it’s no good trying to get them to see grey. Being defensive won’t get you anywhere. Take responsibility and sort things out and you’ll find yourself in a good place.

This week’s mantra: I take control.

Expect things to be up and down this week as a challenging energy forces you to see things for what they really are. Putting yourself in another person’s shoes will be important. There are likely to be changes concerning your career, but try to stay objective about everything.

This week’s mantra: I see things clearly.

Many of you will be celebrating something unexpected. If you’ve resolved past emotional issues then it could be concerning your relationship(s).

Whether you’re deciding to step up or away from someone or contemplating an important career move, just know change is in the air.

This week’s mantra: Time for change.

Finding yourself at a crossroads will push you into making some important decisions. If those decisions concern change, then what you’ll require in 2017 will be different to what you needed this year. If you do something and it feels good then you know you’re on the right track.

This week’s mantra: It’s decision time.

Determination can be good or bad depending on how you channel it. This week is about balance, so beware. Others will try to test you to see how far they can go. By setting your boundaries and sticking to them they’ll soon get the message. Stay detached to avoid disappointment.

This week’s mantra: I can say no.

With all the challenges you’ve faced this year, there’ll be much for you to celebrate this festive season. You can also expect an invigorating new energy to permeate all areas of your life. This will bring an end to difficult relationships, making way for what you’ve been hoping for.

This week’s mantra: I’m ready for a fresh start.

It’s time to decide how you want things to be. It’s important to understand you can’t change other people – all you can do is change yourself. Bear this in mind as you may experience some dramas over the holidays.

Christmas Eve will allow you to figure out what your life is really all about.

This week’s mantra: Time for self-reflection.

It’s important to stop and think before you lose it this week.

Not everyone is as generous as you, but don’t let that ruin your Christmas celebrations. Life is what you make it, so focus on what you have. Everything in the heavens is pointed in your direction, so be prepared for a wish to be fulfilled.

Having an action plan will ensure success in 2017, as long as it includes working for the greater good. Learn from this year’s journey by putting pen to paper and taking note of everything that didn’t work.

Having this knowledge will prove invaluable as you travel the new year.

This week’s mantra: I learn from the past.

By being a realist, you won’t be disappointed. You also need to stop trying to do the right thing by everyone, otherwise you’ll find yourself running around in circles. Look at what’s most important to you before moving forward, as this will allow you to focus your attention on what really matters.

This week’s mantra: Time to get real.

This week, ignore those who say you can’t – basically, it’s time to do what others say is impossible. You need to put your needs first and that might mean stepping on some toes.

Don’t hold back in saying what needs to be said, and by doing so, everyone will know exactly where they stand.

This week’s mantra: I keep to myself.

Finding the time to commence something new would have been challenging this year, but now is a great time to action the ideas you’ve had on hold.

The universe is about to gift you with a new perspective, so make sure you put it to good use. If apologies are required, make sure you mean them.

This week’s mantra: I’m open to the new.

The heavens are shining on all of your relationships, so make the most of this positive energy. Be clear about who you want to be in 2017 and you’ll give yourself the best possible start for success. Writing down what you want concerning all areas of your life will give you a plan of attack.

Allow others to do the planning this festive season. With Jupiter in your sign, this is going to be a very interesting time in more ways than one. Whatever you put in place now will find you reaping the benefits mid-2017.

If a fear of making a foolish move arises, just see it for what it is and go for what you want.

This week’s mantra: Time to let go.

This Christmas will be an important time to focus on your finances. By getting all of your ducks in a row now, you’ll be in an excellent position to turn things around next year.

And by understanding your deepest wants and needs, you’ll step into 2017 a very different – and more focused – person.

This week’s mantra: I look to the future.

It’s best to take the high road when dealing with difficult people these holidays. Try to make decisions based on what you feel, rather than what you think, and take control of the situation – just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean others will play fair. Remember to keep your cool.

This week’s mantra: I am in control.
