or a woman who fancies a bit of a nude lip or maybe a swipe of lip gloss at best, I lived dangerously one day this week and went all out with a “Peruvian Pink” lip. It was to celebrate the month of Liptember – raising funds for, and awareness of, women’s mental health. Now I can spend $300 on a haircut or lose 5kg and not a single person will notice, but it turns out a bit of bright lippie really can change your day! Show your support for Aussie women suffering from mental illness by wearing a bright Liptember lipstick from Chemist Warehouse and kiss away your own blues this month.

Pretty wOman turns ugly

T

he world rejoiced when Richard Gere and Julia Roberts got back together in 2015 to promote the 25th anniversary of Pretty Woman.

But one person wasn’t so thrilled with the reunion – Julia’s husband Danny Moder.

And now, with Richard having recently ended his 11-year marriage to Carey Lowell, he’s reportedly been openly flirting with his favourite leading lady once more – and Danny’s fuming.

According to sources, Julia, 49, and Richard, 68, have met for several secret dinner dates in LA, without

HANDS OFF MY WIFE, RICHARD! Julia’s husband of 15 years.

The famous duo also call each other constantly, with Richard recently admitting he and Julia “talk all time”.

He adds, “I speak to her three or four times a day.

I would call her right now.”

But Danny, 48, who has twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 12, and son Henry, 10, with Julia, “has had enough”.

He’s even picked up the phone to issue Richard a warning: “Stay away from my wife!”

The cinematographer’s terse words come amid endless speculation about the strength of the couple’s marriage.

“Danny trusts Julia implicitly and doesn’t believe she’d cheat on him,” a friend of the

couple says. “But he has it in his head that Richard’s pursuing her. The thought of another man sniffing around Julia has really sent him over the edge!

“He felt he had to say something, so he called up Richard himself and gave him a piece of his mind.

In no uncertain terms, he told him to keep the hell away from his wife.”

While the conversation was an awkward one, “Danny felt good to get his feelings in the open,” says the source. He hopes that Richard has heeded his warning, otherwise he’ll be forced to take stronger – and more public – action.

Richard and Julia had sizzling chemistry in 1990’s Pretty Woman.

“Danny won’t tolerate what he sees as a blatant crush on his wife and mother of his children,” adds the friend. Looks like this Pretty Woman love triangle could soon turn very ugly indeed!

FEARS FOR SKINNY ELLE

H

er killer figure earned her the nickname “The Body”. But in the wake of her split with billionaire husband Jeffrey Soffer in June, Aussie supermodel Elle Macpherson has unveiled a far more slender figure than usual and now her fans are worried.

The mum-of-two has posted a number of shots to her Instagram feed in recent weeks in which her legs appear to have lost much of their muscle tone.

Fans were quick to comment.

“I think you’re beautiful lady but too skinny at the moment,” one wrote. “You have to eat just a little,” pleaded another.

Elle, 53, sparked more speculation she’s enduring a tough time in her life when she posted this quote last week: “So far you’ve survived 100% of your worst days.

You’re doing great.”

Elle captioned it, “Yep.”

“Thinking about you today darling, certain it’s been a tough day for you,” fellow actress Rhonda Burchmore said on the day of Paulini’s hearing last week.

Meanwhile, model Jason Plyzinack commented, “we all make mistakes... you still have my love and support.”

Despite the uncertainty of her future, the singer’s barrister Lisa-Claire Hutchinson is determined to fight for Paulini’s freedom and told the Mount Druitt Local Court in Sydney the penalty should be a fine only, as handed out in similar cases.

She also asked Magistrate Brian Van Zuylen for a long adjournment before her sentencing so Paulini could complete a traffic offender’s program and obtain a driver’s licence lawfully.

T

“The entire family are over the moon,” reveals a source. “Kim was looking for a surrogate for months until recently when she found the perfect candidate.”

Earlier this year, it was reported the pair had chosen surrogacy as the best option for them to give their four-year-old daughter North and 21-month-old son Saint another sibling, because of Kim’s health concerns.

After both her children’s births, the reality star suffered from

a medical condition called placenta accreta, which can lead to life-threatening haemorrhages for the mother.

Doctors had warned her of the risks of carrying another child.

It was also reported the surrogate would be paid $56,000 and, during the pregnancy, would be banned from smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs, eating raw fish and using hair dye or hot tubs.

“They want everything to be perfect and for the baby to be extremely healthy,” the insider explains. “They don’t want any complications, and Kim is providing an ideal eating regimen and diet so everyone knows what the baby is consuming before it’s born.”

Kanye has said he’d like “five or six” kids with wife Kim.

t’s the news we never thought we’d hear. After arguing bitterly since their acrimonious split in September 2016, a year later Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have decided to call off the divorce and give marriage another shot!

According to celebrity biographer Ian Halperin, a face-to-face meeting in July led the two to the unexpected decision to “consciously recouple”. It was their first meet-up since Angelina called it quits in the wake of Brad’s alleged altercation with Maddox, 16, on a private jet.

“They both realise they’re happier together than apart,”

Ian says, adding it was 53-year-old Brad who took the first step in asking Ange to give things another shot.

The couple, who have six children, are said to be undergoing spiritual counselling as they ready for Brad to move back into the family home.

“She never thought Brad would change,” says a friend. “Now he’s cleaned up his act and has a healthy lifestyle he’s the Brad she married and she wants him to take her back.”

Ange, 42, also hinted at a reunion last week, admitting she’s miserable without a partner by her side. “I don’t enjoy being single,” she said. “It’s not something I wanted. There’s nothing nice about it. It’s just hard.”

The singer, 35, says it was all a “mix-up” because he’d been staying at Olympian Ian Thorpe’s pad so hadn’t received any tax letters.

It wasn’t until friends alerted him to the “important-looking letters” at his own property the father-of-two realised his mistake.

“One of them was saying there are taxes that haven’t been paid since 2010 on your house and we’re going to sell it on October 22,” Guy told Sydney2017-08-25T12:23:37+01:00 radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O. “I’ve never 374390AQ not paid bills so I was quite shocked!”

Splitting her time between the Gold Coast, where she’s filming Aquaman, Europe, where she’s doing publicity, and her home in the US, Nic’s friends say she’s missing her hubby Keith Urban badly. And while she crisscrosses the globe, she may be failing to look after herself as she struggles to balance family life with their daughters Sunday, nine, and Faith, six, with her busy work schedule.

“She may be pushing herself too hard,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “I don’t think I’ve seen her so thin – she gets like this when she’s stressed. It could be her jetset lifestyle is catching up with her.”

Nicole has said finding a balance isn’t easy. “It’s a juggling act. It really is.

There are times when it gets put out to a family meeting and we decide if we can move for a period of time, or if Mummy can make a film or Daddy can do this…”

HARRY & MEGH SET THE DATE The celebratory flags will be flying high in London next April.

An official statement from the palace is expected at any minute, with the prince keen to tie the knot

Ghghghgh ghghghgghg ghghggh

A

s if the news of the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy wasn’t enough, there’s even more excitement in store for the royal family.

At the time Woman’s Day went to print late last week, Kensington Palace was said to be just days away from announcing another joyous occasion – Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle.

As Woman’s Day revealed last month, Harry, who turns 33 this week, proposed to his love on her 36th birthday, having whisked her away for a romantic holiday in the remote depths of Botswana.

Last week Meghan seemed to confirm a wedding is imminent, speaking for the very first time about her royal romance in a tell-all interview with Vanity Fair.

Harry is close to the Queen, Royal insiders say who’s given the couple are now her blessing. ready to reveal they’ve chosen the UK spring – April 20 next year – as the date for their wedding.

In the candid interview, Meghan called their union a “love story” and confirmed they were introduced by friends in July last year.

“We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news,” she says. “At the end of the day, I think it’s really simple.

We’re two people who are really happy and in love.

“We’re a couple, we’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we’ll have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”

Royal sources say there’s no way Meghan would have been sanctioned by the palace to do an interview had an engagement not already occurred.

‘We’re two people who are really happy and in love’ With Harry currently fifth in line to the throne, the Queen has the right to sanction who he marries, and protocol demands the monarch pre-approve any interviews given by her family – or their other halves – in which they discuss their private lives.

Before Kate was officially engaged to Prince William, not only did she refuse to discuss their relationship, but she did

just one televised interview after the announcement.

Despite speculation the Queen may disapprove of Meghan being US-born and a divorcee, insiders say she has already welcomed her into The Firm.

“The Queen is remarkably open-minded,” says royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith.

“I would image that the Queen’s view would be: If they’re in love and they’re well-suited, then they should proceed.”

With Meghan set to officially become the UK’s next princess, her life as she knows it will change dramatically, so it’s no surprise she’ll be leaning on Harry for support.

“It has its challenges,” she said of the attention. “But I have this support system all around me, and, of course, my boyfriend’s support.”

With such a loving partner by her side, there’s no doubt Meghan will settle into royal life with ease.

Bring on the wedding!

The moment it all began!

Harry took over an entire luxury safari camp for his romantic proposal to Meghan. In a poignant gesture, he surprised her with a stunning aquamarine ring that had been one of Princess Diana’s favourites.

Kate and Wills have another surprise – there are TWO royal babies on the way!

t’s the miracle the Duchess of Cambridge has long been hoping for. Not only is she pregnant again, but royal sources tell Woman’s Day she’s expecting twins!

The big news comes three weeks after an insider close to the pair told Woman’s Day Kate had been rushed to hospital, suffering from a case of extreme morning sickness.

Now a trusted royal source tells us doctors have informed Kate to expect a double delivery when her due date – thought to be in March next year – rolls around. It’s got royal insiders tipping a new prince and princess.

“She was told twins or triplets are more likely in your mid-to-late 30s.”

Adding to the speculation Kate’s having twins is the severity of the hyperemesis gravidarum she’s experiencing this time around. The condition, which causes constant nausea and vomiting in expectant mothers, is known to be more

“She’s been extremely sick, sometimes up to 20 times a day.”

Last week, after the royal

‘We just need Kate to get over this... we will celebrate next week’ announcement was made, William said he was delighted to be expanding his family once more. He did, however, admit there is “not much sleep” going on at home. “We just need Kate to get over this first bit, then we can start celebrating next week.”

While the first trimester has always been difficult for Kate,

the couple are again receiving lots of support from their nearest and dearest. But no matter how ill Kate is feeling, we’re told nothing will take away her joy.

Even more excited are George, four, and Charlotte, two, who can’t wait to meet their siblings.

Kate and Wills, both 35, sat them down and broke the news the day before the announcement came from the palace.

“George was incredibly excited, telling his mum and dad that he was going to be the best big brother,” says our source.

The extended family are also thrilled. Kate’s uncle, Gary Goldsmith, seems to have also let the twin secret out of the bag.

“It’s the best news I’ve had so far this year,” he told reporters last week. “She’s a natural mother. I wonder if she’ll stop at three… I doubt it. They’re having such fun with the babies.”

GEORGE’S FIRST DAY AT BIG SCHOOL! The future king took it all in his stride

U

p early in his new bedroom at Kensington Palace last Thursday, cheeky Prince George was reportedly bursting with excitement on another historic occasion for the royals – his first day of school!

Having packed his navy backpack the night before, Kate and Wills watched on with a mix of pride and trepidation as the four-year-old headed off to meet his classmates at Thomas’s Battersea in London for the very first time.

But George was raring to go – and by all accounts, he was on his best behaviour!

Thomas’s takes both boys and girls from four to 13, with fees around $27,000 per year.

As well as the usual subjects, the school offers ballet lessons, skiing and pottery.

As far as the canteen goes, George will be eating only the best. The menu, which changes every three weeks, includes lamb ragout and baked smoked mackeral served on a bed of puy lentils. Now that’s what we call food fit for a king!

IE & JAMIE’S JOY

Katie’s making sure Suri feels extra special now another baby is on the way.

SIBLING OR SURI! The secretive couple make their first public appearance – and so does their baby bump!

A

fter hiding their love for four long years, last week Katie Holmes finally stepped out hand-inhand with her boyfriend Jamie Foxx. And she revealed another surprise – they’re having a baby!

Katie allegedly signed a five-year contract not to date publicly after her divorce from Tom Cruise in 2012. In return, she received full custody of their daughter Suri, as well as a multimillion-dollar payout.

Fearful of breaking the contract, she and Jamie took precautions never to be seen together. But with the agreement ending on July 9, things couldn’t have been more different as they holidayed in the Hamptons last week.

The actress and 49-year-old Jamie frolicked on the beach, allowing photographers to snap away as the radiant mum-to-be showed off her small baby bump.

It’s thrilling news for Katie, 38, who has always dreamed of expanding her family and giving 11-year-old Suri a sibling. And not only is Suri supportive of the relationship, apparently she’s the one who’s been pushing her mum to make things official!

“Suri was desperate to have a brother or sister and has been pushing Katie and Jamie to stop hiding their romance,” a friend of the actress tells Woman’s Day. “She wants them all to have days out and holidays together.”

Friends say when Katie found out she was expecting Jamie’s baby, she had no doubt the time was finally right to take the next step. They add she’s been gushing that Jamie, who is already father to Corinne, 23, and eight-yearold Annalise, is “a great dad”.

“He’s caring, kind and considerate,” says the insider.

“He dotes on Suri and his own

daughters. Above all, there’s no drama with him and he lets Katie be herself. In short, he is the complete opposite of Tom!” Katie herself has been very open about just how much joy motherhood has brought her.

“My child is the most important person to me,” she said of Suri in April. “I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there’s nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed.”

Sources close to the loved-up couple reveal they began trying for a child as soon as the fiveyear contract expired. And even though Katie’s starting to show, they’re still not at the 12-week mark, so will wait a little longer to announce their happy news.

Still, they weren’t afraid to finally flaunt their love last week, and friends say we can expect many more public outings from

They had a mummydaughter date last week. the pair now they’re starting a family together.

“They knew a photographer was there to capture them on their babymoon,” another friend tells. “Katie said later it was one of the happiest moments of her life. It was like being set free after all these years.

“She’s tired of the deception and she wants to have a normal relationship. She’s ready to have a baby with Jamie – and she can’t wait to properly start their life together.”

“We’ve been in contact – I even messaged her yesterday and asked if I could take her out,” tells the 30-year-old, who was let go from the series after Tara kept referring to Matty as Derek. Even the Gold Coast nanny admits the pair are close. “We used to joke the D on my necklace stood for Derek the bartender!” But she’s not the only one who had eyes for the hunky hired help.

OUR NEW ADDITION!

Even 12 weeks on the show couldn’t prepare Sticks for his gorgeous bundle of joy!

S

ticks gave up everything to be on The Block and even thought he might miss the birth of his second child.

So after several weeks on the show with his teammate, friend Wombat, 37, he was delighted to be reunited with his family just in time for the birth of son Lani Chase Crocker. He even had time for a Maccas drive-through on the way to the airport!

“I did the same on the way to Kanoa’s birth,” says the proud dad as he cradles his newborn baby.

Sticks, 31, made the mad dash home from Melbourne to NSW’s Sussex Inlet by helicopter, where he was reunited with his wife Terri and son Kanoa, 18 months, just before Lani’s arrival.

“We’d planned on me not being there for the birth, so Terri’s mum was on standby,” says Sticks, a carpenter and photographer.

While Terri, 32, was prepared to give birth without her devoted husband by her side, she says she

26 WD

was so glad he made it. “I was on edge for the last few weeks so when I heard Sticks was coming home it was a relief,” she says.

Lani arrived happy and healthy two days after his due date and it was a relatively easy birth. “I didn’t have any drugs, just a bit of gas,” says Terri, adding it was love at first sight when she met her baby.

“You think you don’t have more love to give after the first one but he’s opened up our hearts even more!”

And larrikin Sticks was given a very important job once Lani arrived. “I cut the umbilical cord!” he says proudly, adding, “It was like cutting a bit of squid.”

The family hope the auction of The Block’s Elsternwick property will help with their mortgage and give them the boost they need to enjoy holidays with their boys.

“Coming home reminded us why I’m on the show and how it could potentially change our lives.”

Kanoa is a doting big brother. “He just wants to kiss and cuddle him,” Terri says.

PLUS A WEDDING AND A BABY! Dan + Dani to tie the knot

He waited eight years to do it but Foreman Dan has popped the question to his girlfriend and fellow Block star Dani!

It certainly seems like Josh and his girlfriend of four years Elyse, who have just returned from a romantic trip to Bali, are ready to have kids. “[I want] lots of babies,” Elyse excitedly confides to Woman’s Day. WD 27

Bec & Lleyton

SEPARATED FOR 42 DAYS

Bec is left behind as the tennis champ moves back to the Bahamas

W

ith tension in their marriage at breaking point, tennis champion Lleyton Hewitt is building a new life for himself overseas after flying out of Melbourne to escape the constant fights and bickering with wife Bec. He’s been soaking up the sun in the Bahamas, swimming and playing golf, on top of hanging out with his tennis buddies in New York. He’s revelling in his freedom, while Bec is looking under increasing strain as she struggles to cope with all the pressures of motherhood in Melbourne.

“They argue a lot, but it’s been worse lately as he’s been spending more and more time drinking with his mates to avoid home – and Bec – who hates it when Lleyton drinks,” reveals one close friend. “His home life is filled with conflict a lot of the time.”

Lleyton, 36, was last seen in Australia on August 5, and has since been posting updates on life in the Bahamas as he prepares for his new career at an elite tennis academy. He has no plans to rush home to Melbourne, meaning he and Bec are effectively apart for almost six weeks.

“He’s in New York for a week or so, then he heads to Belgium for the Davis Cup,” says the friend.

“It really is like he and Bec are leading separate lives. He’s set himself up in the Bahamas and she’s been left in Melbourne.”

The fairytale ended long ago for Lleyton and Bec, 34, who

28 WD

fought constantly over their gypsy lifestyle when he was competing.

They hoped a move to Melbourne would save their marriage.

But that hasn’t been the case and the strain began to show this year after Bec was caught having a number of very public meltdowns, while Lleyton has been busy building his new life.

“Their battles are legendary,” claims our source, who says the last straw came when Lleyton took the job in The Bahamas and made it clear he’d be spending a lot of time there – without Bec. “Their fights are often over what you or I would think of as trivial, and it hasn’t eased over

the sort of people to keep their opinions to themselves,” our source says. “They opposed it to start with just because the courtship was too quick – and more importantly Lleyton didn’t insist on a pre-nup.

“The Hewitts still worry about would happen if they divorced, and drop huge clangers in this regard, which Bec naturally resents. They also criticise her all the time, saying she isn’t strict

enough with the kids [Mia, 11, Cruz, eight, and Ava, six] and complain that all three aren’t playing enough tennis.”

And there is a lot at stake, with Lleyton worth $60 million at last count. “Lleyton’s well aware of how costly a divorce could be.

He considered leaving years ago when they were going through a particularly rough patch, but because he never got Bec to sign a pre-nup, he knew it’d ruin him.”

‘Lleyton’s aware of how costly a divorce could be’ the years, if anything it’s got worse. Bec doesn’t shout, but she holds a mighty grudge, and she’s not one to back down.”

The couple fell in love quickly – soon after Bec split with her fiance, actor Beau Brady – and she was pregnant when she and Lleyton wed in 2005.

But the honeymoon was soon over as Bec struggled to adjust to life on the tennis circuit and resented the constant presence of Lleyton’s parents, Glynn and Cherilyn, who he confided in more than his young wife.

“They’ve never really bonded closely with Bec, and they’re not

Steve was filming on the Great Barrier Reef when a massive stingray stabbed wildly at him with its serrated tail, before one hit sank deep into his chest.

Steve, then 44, yanked out the barb and quickly bled to death.

Now, with the claims Steve’s death could’ve been avoided,

insiders say Terri’s heart is breaking all over again.

“Terri is going through hell right now,” a friend tells Woman’s Day. “It’s always difficult around the anniversary of his death, but this has made it harder than usual.

“The truth is, Steve was so badly wounded nothing could’ve saved him, given the remote area where it happened.”

Terri, 53, is now vowing to stamp out the rumours and hunt down those who could profit from the footage.

“Terri will never forget the moment she told Bindi and Bob their dad had gone,” says the insider. “Years

later she explained to Bindi in detail about how it all happened, and then she had to have that same conversation with Bob when he was old enough.

“That’s why no one is going to rewrite history when it comes to Steve. And nothing is going to tarnish his memory.”

Jane & Robert

TOGETHER AGAIN! The chemistry is still red-hot as the longtime co-stars reunite

A

rriving at a photocall for their new film, Our Souls At Night, at the Venice Film Festival, Jane Fonda and Robert Redford glowed with happiness.

As they made their way down the red carpet, the Hollywood heavyweights were clearly enjoying being back in each other’s company, 38 years after they last starred as onscreen lovers.

Jane, 79, and Robert, 81, first appeared together more than 50 years ago in 1966’s The Chase, then played newlyweds in the 1967 classic Barefoot In The Park.

And now a cheeky Jane admits she was rather taken with her hunky co-star all those years ago.

“I couldn’t keep my hands off him,” she says of her leading man.

And she hasn’t shied away from intimate scenes with Robert in their latest film either.

“I live for sex scenes with him,” 32 WD

she adds. “He’s a great kisser. It was fun to kiss him in my 20s and then to kiss him again in my almost 80s.”

According to the two-time Oscar winner, love and sex only get better with age.

“Because, first of all, we’re braver – what the heck do we have to lose,” she says. “So my skin sags. So does his!”

Jane says she “constantly forced” herself on Robert during filming for Barefoot In The Park. But given the handsome actor is not only the star, but a producer of their latest film – and cast Jane as his leading lady – it looks like he didn’t mind!

“I wanted to do another film with her before I died,” he joked to reporters last week.

A match made in Hollywood heaven!

“Ally created havoc on set – she’s so funny.”

Adds Peter: “We were mates. We formed a friendship, which was the best thing. We used to have get-togethers at someone’s place like Leila Hayes [his adoptive mum Beryl on the show] and have a barbecue. In those days they used to fly you all over the place to do publicity visits.”

“I always thought that when I got older I’d get some really good meaty role that would really challenge me,” Rowena tells Woman’s Day. “It’s sad because I feel I’m a much better actor now and I’m frustrated I may not have that chance, which is a real bummer!”

Convicted child murderer Moore went on to have a baby girl in 1995.

Babysitter killer

H

elen Patricia Moore lives somewhere in Australia. Her friends probably have no idea of the 55-year-old’s former life.

In 1980, Moore was charged with the murder of three children, and the attempted murder of two others as she babysat them in Sydney’s outer west.

Moore says she began killing at the age of 16 after losing her 14-month-old half-brother Andrew to SIDS. Her cousin Suzanne McIntosh became her first victim in May 1979 – Moore suffocated the 16-month-old as she slept. She later said she felt it wasn’t fair Suzanne was alive when her brother was not.

In January 1980, Moore suffocated a 12-month-old boy until she thought he was dead. She then continued watching TV, but he survived. She then tried to suffocate two-year-old Aaron Crocker, in February 1980. He was left blind, severely disabled and died several years later.

Within weeks she’d suffocated another baby girl. The next month her stepbrother Peter, seven, was found dead, too.

It was Peter’s death that led to Moore’s arrest. She was sentenced to life, but released in 1993.

Derrick Robie (above) and his killer Eric Smith (left).

Within hours that fair-haired toddler, James Bulger, was killed, his body left on a railway track. His killers were 10-year-olds Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. In 1993, they were found guilty of abduction and murder and sent to separate secure units for child offenders. Public outrage at their crime was so great the boys were given new identities when they were released in 2001, aged 18.

After their release, reports surfaced Thompson had moved to Australia, but the Government has stated publicly he does not live here. British authorities have since confirmed he lives in northern England with his male lover.

Venables, now 34, was convicted of downloading and distributing graphic child pornography in 2010 and returned to prison for two years. He was also found to have joined a dating website not long ago, describing himself to potential girlfriends as a music and soccer fan, and someone with “a good sense of humour”.

“As soon as you get over the ‘ohmygawd I can’t do this’ feeling, it’s pretty enjoyable.”

It wasn’t some immature fiction – this was the confession of a 15-yearold from Missouri, US, who’d just stabbed and strangled her neighbour, nine-year-old Elizabeth Olten.

On an afternoon in 2009, Elizabeth had begged her mother to let her go and play with Bustamante’s younger sister. She was never to be seen again.

After she was reported missing, volunteers scoured the area in search of the little girl, while Bustamante headed off to a church dance. Her unravelling came when her diary was found in her bedroom.

The next day, Elizabeth’s body was

found in a shallow grave behind the Bustamante house. Disturbingly, Bustamante told a police officer she’d wanted to know what killing a person felt like.

When she was finally tried for the murder, Bustamante sat silently, only occasionally glancing at those testifying. After days in court, the then 18-year-old finally broke down and changed her plea from not guilty to guilty. In 2012, the thrill killer was sentenced to 35 years in jail with the possibility of parole. “Alyssa should get out of jail the same day Elizabeth gets out of the grave,” Elizabeth’s grandmother has said.

It was Derrick’s mum who raised the alarm when her son couldn’t be located. Tragically, after a four-hour search, his body was found.

Six days later, Smith finally confessed the brutal crime to his mother, who heavy heartedly revealed the truth to authorities that evening.

Saying his attack on Derrick was the result of years of being bullied, Smith was sentenced to nine years to life in prison and the 37-yearold is still behind bars after being denied parole eight times.

Fresh from th MATTHEW EVANS from Tasmania’s Fat Pig Farm shares some favourite dishes

Exclusive interview

F

rom food critic to farmer-turnedrestaurateur, Gourmet Farmer star Matthew Evans is a firm believer in the paddock-to-plate philosophy.

He sits down for a chat with Woman’s Day.

Who inspired your love of cooking?

My mother. It was hanging around the kitchen tasting her good cooking that made me realise the cooks always get the best bits.

What would we always find in your fridge?

Cheese, butter, a sourdough starter, salted anchovies and very creamy milk from our Jersey and Guernsey cows.

What are your pantry essentials?

Quality dried pasta, good olive oil, tinned tomatoes or passata, brown sugar, good quality flour, lots of different nuts and pulses. We just love pulses!

Most useful kitchen gadget?

Hmm. Not big on gadgets, but a good peeler is essential. And a hand whisk is always being used to mix crepe batter or something or other. Yes, a hand whisk is indispensable.

Words: Jennene Plummer. Pictures: Alan Benson. Styling: Lucy Tweed.

Food preparation: Tammi Kwok. Creative concept: Belinda So.

How important is healthy eating to you?

We love to eat what’s in season, what is fresh, and we love variety. We don’t try to eat “healthy” as such, because that seems to change over the years. I eat a wide variety of unprocessed fresh ingredients, which satisfies me gastronomically, and probably in a nutritional sense, too.

What do you love cooking at home?

Tarte tatin when apples are in season, fresh pasta, slow-simmered braises and great roasted veg. Simple food, but carefully chosen and handled.

What do you whip up if time is tight?

Pasta. Always pasta. In the time it takes to boil the water and cook spaghetti, we can get a delicious dinner on the table that everyone gobbles down, no problem.

L A UR E N C U RT I S @lozcurtis Priceline Pharmacy Beauty School Expert 10. MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Tattoo Brow 3 Day Gel Tint, 5mL, $24.95

I was very intrigued by this product as I’ve been contemplating getting actual brow tattooing done but can’t seem to bring myself to do it! I was a little concerned that the tint would be too dark for my eyebrows but the guide colour is much darker than the end result, which meant it was a perfect match. You brush the tint evenly over your brows in your desired shape, let it dry for 2 hours, and then carefully peel the gel off. I was left with a great natural looking tint that lasts for 3 days. This product is amazing for those of us who are time-poor and can’t dedicate any extra time in the morning to fi lling in our brows, or who just want a natural looking brow with a bit more defi nition and boldness.

9. MAUI Moisture Heal & Hydrate + Shea Butter Shampoo or Conditioner, 385mL, $19.99 each

You’ll feel like you’re on the beach when you smell these delicious products.

The shampoo is sulphate-free so it’s gentle on your hair.

The conditioner has a thick consistency so a little goes a long way. My hair felt soft and detangled almost straight away. You can leave it in for an extra few minutes if your hair is really dry. The unique vegan formula is based on pure aloe vera juice and the shea butter helps your stressed hair stay moisturised.

SUNSET EYES Try Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow Palette $25.95 2 Sweep the lightest colour you’re using across your entire lid and up to your socket line, using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Blend until the edges are soft. Try TBX Eyeshadow Brush $14.95 3 Using a bronze eyeshadow, trace along the socket line and slightly up and out to the corners of your eye. Apply silver eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eye if you have cool skin tones, and gold if you have warm skin tones. Try L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Mono Eyeshadow in Gold Mania $19.95

There’s nothing more glorious than the sky’s natural palette at sunset – the inspiration for this spring makeup look. Go for delicate hues like muted pink and coral, or amp it up with fiery fuchsia and orange.

Try beige, grey or navy.

Nude By Nature Ultimate Perfecting Brush $29.95

“This buffing brush is great for applying thicker products like heavy-duty foundation,” says Rae. “First place the product on the back of your hand to make it easier to work with, then apply it to your face using the brush.”

4

Real Techniques Base Miracle Complexion Sponge $16.99

“Dampen the sponge first so it doesn’t absorb too much of the product you’re applying,” advises Rae. “The pointed end is for blending and patting concealer around your eye area, and the flat end is for pressing and blending foundation.”

WEIGHT-LOSS THERAPI – NO DIET REQUIRED! Find calorie-counting a bore? One of our alternative treatments might just be right for you... hungry,” explains Margaret.

“Whereas diets can often lead to obsessing about food – ‘How many calories in this piece of chicken? How much rice am I allowed?’ – hypnotherapy can restore control at an unconscious level.

“So your relationship with food will be relaxed and you’ll be more aware of when you are full.”

Ayurveda

WILL REBALANCE YOU WHEN DIETS JUST DON'T WORK

Hypnotherapy

Weight-loss words: timeincukcontent.com. Hayfever words: Megan Rowe.

COULD HELP IF YOU CAN'T STOP OVEREATING

How often do you eat when you’re not really hungry?

Or when you’re bored, stressed or sad? Overeating can be a deep-seated habit stored in the unconscious mind. The good news?

Hypnotherapy, or hypnosis, can break that habit.

BREAKING THE HABIT “Most people are aware of what constitutes healthy eating,” says therapist Margaret Warren. “Let’s face it, we’re bombarded with messages about it every day.”

It’s true – while we know exactly the hows and whys of a healthy diet, our ingrained eating habits soon send even the hottest new weight-loss plan into crash-and-burn mode.

“Hypnotherapy can help break the habit of overeating and tackle underlying reasons for eating when you’re not physically 64 WD

Ayurveda, a holistic healthcare system, is all about balance and eating the right foods for your constitutional type.

SMOOTH DIGESTION According to Ayurveda, being overweight has to do with the smooth running of your digestion, rather than overeating.

Practitioner Sebastian Pole says, “If your digestion is good, your metabolism will be good and you’ll have a balanced weight.”

EASY RULES OF AYURVEDIC 1 Eat a small piece of fresh ginger before each meal to perk up digestion.

2 Sip warm water with your meal, but don’t drink a lot of fluids afterwards.

3 Chew each mouthful of food properly.

4 Leave four to six hours between meals – no snacking at all, please!

5 Stop eating when you’re half full of food and a quarter full of liquid.

Emotional freedom technique

WHEN CRAVINGS DEMOLISH EVERY DIET! Chocolate, biscuits, cakes... all can wreck a diet in the time it takes to chew. But you can curb cravings with emotional freedom technique (EFT).

EMOTIONAL HEALING Think of EFT as psychological acupressure that uses finger tapping rather than needles. It relieves symptoms by tapping on various locations on your body.

“Giving in to cravings is often a way of avoiding feelings or reducing stress,” says practitioner Sally Canning.

“Diets don’t address emotional issues and the lost weight will return unless the anxieties built up have been identified and eliminated.”

Dynamic yoga TO DETOX YOUR BODY AND CHANGE YOUR MINDSET If you’ve always felt yoga was for relaxing and couldn’t possibly reshape you in the way the gym can, then you need an update.

CAN IT REALLY WORK? “Yes,” says top yoga teacher Claire

Missingham. “Regular practice will motivate you to think more about your overall wellbeing, including your diet.”

The key is regular practice, so get out that yoga mat!

WORKING INSIDE OUT Choose a dynamic style, such as Vinyasa, Ashtanga or power yoga, and you will find that it can detox and reshape your body while reinventing the way you feel about food.

“A dynamic, flowing style promotes detoxification on a cellular level,” explains Claire.

“When we move and breathe deeply in yoga, it massages the internal organs, stokes an inner fire to burn calories, sweats out impurities and encourages our mind to let go of tension, so we feel fresh and clear.”

BAICAL SKULLCAP

This plant, which hails from highaltitude places like Siberia and Mongolia, is known to have immune-regulatory properties.

It has great immune support properties, too. Drink it in a tea, take it as a tablet or add it to your morning juice.

3 BUPLEURUM

This East Asian herb boosts immunity

as it relieves hayfever symptoms. In traditional Chinese and Western herbal medicine, it cools the body and calms upper respiratory congestion. Its analgesic properties can relieve mild sinus pain. It’s usually prescribed as a tablet combined with other herbs.

Sydney-based naturopath, nutritionist and herbalist AMIE SKILTON reveals the top 5 food types to stop a puffy belly

CALMING HERBS “If your belly is full and cramping, have a mug of ginger, fennel, aniseed or peppermint tea,” advises Amie. “These will help relieve the cramping and spasms, as well as release any trapped gas.”

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

“If someone is really gassy, this can absorb any biotoxins that are sitting in the gut. It only provides symptomatic relief though, but do see a practitioner to fix any gut imbalances,” says Amie.

Words: Shonagh Walker, Kristy Bradley.

CELERY

If you are retaining fluid and feeling really puffy, try drinking celery juice “or sprinkling celery seeds over your salad,” suggests Amie. “Celery is a natural diuretic that assists the kidneys in shifting excess fluid.”

Health Ed’s fave

KRISTY “I’m scared of getting a BRADLEY melanoma – I’m obsessed with protecting my skin. Now it’s spring, I’ll be spending more time outdoors, so I’ve downloaded the SunSmart app. It sends daily alerts on the UV forecast and the hours you need to protect your skin from the sun.”

BITTER GREENS “Bloat from constipation can be addressed by kale, spinach, watercress, broccoli, rocket, charred silverbeet, leafy greens from the top of beetroot, dandelion greens and endive,” says Amie.

ENZYMERICH FRUITS

Papaya, pineapple and kiwifruit before a meal can help combat gas and burping. “They contain papain or bromelain enzymes, which break down protein and help digest it in your meal and relieve the gas,” says Amie.

CELEB TRAINER TIP

US fitness pro Dalton Wong, who keeps Jennifer Lawrence (right) and Kit Harington in shape, says stop using food as a regular reward. “Most gyms have shakes, juices and healthy nutrient-rich foods, but don’t head for them just because you’ve worked out. That date brownie might be healthier than a regular brownie, but it’s still calories that need to be burned off. If it’s an occasional treat or you’re genuinely hungry, great, but don’t make it a regular reward.”

When looking for lampshades, go for texture so you can use the shade in place of artwork on a wall. The idea is that it throws light, shadow and intricate patterns against the otherwise blank wall, creating ambience.

love the outdoors, but I’m crazy about my creature comforts, so the idea of four days roaming a remote Tasmanian island with limited facilities had me a bit concerned. Then I found we’d be glamping: campsites with incredible views, luxury tents, amazing food and some of the region’s best wines. Sign me up!

Day 1: 8km

The 90-minute trip from Hobart to the Maria Island ferry at Triabunna is picturesque and beautiful. On the island we were fitted with our backpacks, then had lunch at beautiful Shoal Bay. Afterwards, we headed to the first campsite at Casuarina Beach. It felt like walking into a real-life postcard.

Later, we walked to Haunted Bay, which amazed us with its colourful rock formations and breathtaking views. Back at our beach camp we devoured Tassie produce and wines. Then, on our sunset walk, the wallabies and wombats blew us away!

Day 2: 13km Comfortable accommodation on the trail.

We kicked off with hearty eggs and bacon cooked in a fully equipped camping kitchen. Today’s walk

took in five beaches, the convict cells at Point Lesueur and the amazing ochre pit at Bloodstone Point. At White Gums Camp we enjoyed the musical chatter of native birds with a pre-dinner glass of wine as the sun set.

Day 3: 17km

On our way to the next campsite, we trekked grasslands along the edge of the Painted Cliffs. Later, the peaks of Bishop and Clerk proved the most challenging walk, but had the most rewarding views.

It took us through open forest and

Psychics

The animal w hisperer

Dudie is happy with sister Moggie and Lorna’s dad.

AMANDA DE WARREN Australia’s top pet psychic

Dudie loves to be loved

AMANDA SAYS Dudie comes through and says he has passed over and he tells me he was with Lorna all his life. I see a young woman with him. This young lady is Lorna’s daughter and she tells me she passed suddenly in an accident when she was 27.

She let her mum know she did not suffer.

Dudie then brings through another two cats that have passed over. I also see Lorna’s mum and dad, who have both been passed over for a very long time.

Lorna’s mum was first. They are both with her daughter. Dudie tells me he’s with his sister Moggie, who went missing.

Dudie knew Lorna always wondered what happened to her and had her suspicions.

Lorna’s suspicions were confirmed when Moggie told her she was killed by the dog next door. Another cat named Xanadu was also taken by the dog next door but Lorna couldn’t prove it.

Dudie tells me he got sick very quickly and shows me he passed within a couple of days of his sickness.

Dudie was 16 years old when he passed over from throat cancer, which he had for a while but was undetected until the last couple of days. Xanadu was about seven when he passed and Moggie was only about a year old.

Dudie is such a sweet, loving boy and smooches a lot. He loves to be loved.

LORNA SAYS I wanted to know how my beautiful cat Dudie was doing in the afterlife. It was a relief to hear that he did understand I had to end his suffering, and that he loved me very much.

I was amazed Amanda picked up on my dad, who passed a very long time ago, and said he was a lovely man. I was so glad to hear my dad was with Moggie and Xanadu, and they all took Dudie over the rainbow bridge. It was good to finally have closure over Moggie and Xanadu’s disappearance,

OCT 24 – NOV 22

Capricorn

DEC 23 – JAN 20

Welcome to the month of the heart-to-heart. Friends and family may be pouring out their troubles, but your insights should prove invaluable.

Shared projects might keep you busy through spring, but the sense of teamwork should make it worth all the effort.

Singles, get involved!

There’s nothing wrong with thinking big! It’s time to take a chance and step out of your comfort zone. As your vision expands, some Goats may even consider formal studies. On a lighter note, this weekend’s luxury-loving moon could prove expensive, but the occasional treat is good for the soul!

Sagittarius

Aquarius

NOV 23 – DEC 22

Overthinking things? With your work and family both needing extra attention, your mind may be racing. Your horoscope is crowded with chatter, but silence can be golden. Schedule in some downtime. As the buzz subsides, your intuition should surge – you might even feel like a mind-reader.

JAN 21 – FEB 19

Hello spring! With Mars spurring you into action, it’s time to blast away a few cobwebs. Start by ditching some clutter, then free up your schedule. As space is cleared, new people and opportunities will enter your life, and yes, things could turn romantic.

l Upstairs tells me that the birth of their third child will not only complete their family unit, but also bring even more happiness and joy into their lives. l Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been shown a glimpse of beautiful brown eyes and gorgeous blond locks, and feel their newborn will have a striking resemblance to Prince George. l Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve drawn the tarot card of the Page of Wands and feel a baby boy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or soul with strong masculine energy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is waiting to come into the world. This child will be a natural born leader with a very passionate and fiery nature, and strong urge to be seen and heard.

Psychic Mitchell Coombes predicts Kateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having another son.

l In my mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shown a calendar and feel Kateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due date could very well be on or around the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday in April 2018. The Sun tarot card symbolises there is a great deal of sunshine and a number of bright prospects crowning William and Kate over the coming year.

Taurus

APR 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MAY 21

As the spotlight swings to relationships, connecting should feel almost effortless.

Couples might rediscover that old playful streak, while singles could see someone in a whole new light. Make an extra effort to be adventurous this month, and inject some pizzazz into things.

Turning chaos into order should be a cinch this month! Your inventive solutions should win accolades, both at home and work, so get cracking. Switching off might be the tricky part, so balance that mental energy with plenty of exercise.

Alternatively, show off your skills at a games night.

Aries

Gemini

MAR 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; APR 20

Life may feel like a kaleidoscope of people and places this month, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore your health. Revisit a pastime thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been squeezed out of your life. Meetings and social events may feel strangely fated towards Friday, while for singles, a catch-up might see romantic sparks flying.

MAY 22 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; JUN 21

Those nesting instincts are growing stronger by the day, Gemini. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to dust off the craft box. If home improvements are stretching the budget, why not cruise a few op shops and try upcycling instead. And parents, if pet shop windows exert a magnetic pull, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t warned!

Cancer

JUN 22 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; JUL 23

As Mercury heightens your curiosity, a health-related topic could become your new obsession â&#x20AC;&#x201C; studious Crabs might even sign up for classes.

Start researching your next holiday or chase up a faraway friend. With nostalgic stars growing brighter, reunions are on the cards.

Leo

JUL 24 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AUG 23

Lucky girl! Mercuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move into your money zone could bring a nice little surprise. Adding to the buzz, an idea youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been mulling over might find wings or a business enterprise could blossom. As your sense of style continues to grow, a shopping spree might be money well spent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the new you!

Iconic Australian music program Countdown is back after a whopping 30 years (now that makes us feel old!).

The episodes will feature the best performances from each of the 13 years the hit show was on air. Host Molly Meldrum hopes this will be the driving force for the show’s revival. “People still love following what’s on the charts and the new music that’s coming up. There have been some great music shows since Countdown ended, but nothing’s really taken its place,” he says.

In his usual sleuthing manner, Doctor Blake is determined to find out what’s behind the unexpected death.

Introducing the new Bachelorette Sophie Monk

THE TRUTH ABOUT ME

S

ince Sophie Monk was announced as the Bachelorette in April, there have been plenty of rumours about her part on the show – from her pay cheque to the contestants vying for her heart. Here, Sophie, 37, comes clean to Woman’s Day about the truth behind the headlines…

SHE HAD TO APPLY TO BE THE BACHELORETTE Sophie admits she was so desperate to find love she saw no option but to apply for the show. “I had to persuade the show to take me on. They weren’t sure because it’s not really on brand with The Bachelor to bring someone like me in, but I’m so glad they did.”

I always give off the wrong message, too, so when I like someone it looks as if I hate them. I’ve learnt to open up a bit more on the show.”

ON RUMOURS OF HER HUGE PAY CHEQUE...

It was reported Sophie would earn a hefty $300,000 to star on the show – but she denies it. “I’ve missed out on money, if anything – because I’ve missed out on so much work!” she laughs.

SHY IN THE SACK “People expect me to be wild in the bedroom just because I don’t wear any clothes online – but that’s not me at all. I’m really shy.”

SHE KNOWS HATERS GONNA HATE “Not everyone’s going to love you, especially on a show like this.

You just have to prepare yourself and know what you’re in for.”

DATING REALLY SCARES HER “I’m so awkward.

Half the time I was giggling!

BIG LITTLE LIES

BLACK MIRROR: SAN JUNIPERO CATEGORY: TELEVISION MOVIE

CATEGORY: LIMITED SERIES

Nominated for two Emmys, this episode of Charlie Brooker’s show – which takes a clever look at how virtual reality could potentially wreak havoc on modern society – is a stand-out for its heartwarming female love story.

This disturbing whodunnit centres on a group of rich Monterey mums. Working backwards from a murder at a school fundraiser, it’s the events that led up to that night – and the fascinating female bonds – that really captivate. Unmissable.

Young clerk Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) is told he “must not look at Her Majesty” when he arrives from India to present a gift to 68-year-old Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) during her Golden Jubilee. But when the pair make eye contact, an unlikely bond is formed, and she begins to see the world – and her empire – through new eyes. A heartwarming tale based “mostly” on a true story.
