Ozzy Osbourne and his estranged wife Sharon Osbourne are said to have “fallen in love again”, according to a new report in Us Weekly.

A source close to the family told the publication that emergency couples’ therapy sessions could be credited for the pair’s reconciliation.

Sharon made the decision to walk out on their 34-year marriage two months ago, over rumours of Ozzy’s infidelity with his hairstylist.

At the time, the 63-year-old said she needed “time to think” and had reportedly progressed as far as calling in the divorce lawyers.

The pair are said to have worked through their issues.

“I can’t keep living like this,” the host of The Talk had said on her show, referring to her putting up with her rocker husband’s philandering ways.

She had missed the previous day’s show due to needing to take time to take stock of where her life and her marriage was at.

At the time news of the affair broke, she was heartbroken.

Sharon has been super busy with X Factor recently.

But as Sharon is Ozzy’s manager for Black Sabbath, she still had to do appearances with her husband regularly.

Sharon is ALL BUSINESS as Ozzy tries to pay her a compliment before they reconciled in the clip below. Post continues.

Onlookers at the time said that Ozzy kept continuing to try to connect with her but she wasn’t having a bar of it.

“She wasn’t into him hugging her at all,” an onlooker confessed to Us Weekly

But it seems Ozzy was determined to win back his wife, and it seems his efforts have finally payed off.

We’re hoping it sticks this time!

Parents lose custody of vegan toddler

The 14-month-old boy weighed slightly more than the average newborn when his grandparents took him to hospital.
Parents lose custody of vegan toddler

The 14-month-old boy weighed slightly more than the average newborn when his grandparents took him to hospital.

Two devout vegans have lost custody of their 14-month-old son after he was hospitalised for malnutrition after being forced to follow their restrictive diet.

The Italian toddler weighed slightly more than the average newborn when his grandparents took him to hospital.

Tests revealed he was severely malnourished, with calcium levels only slightly above those needed for survival. His low calcium levels had also exacerbated a congenital heart condition, forcing doctors to perform emergency surgery.

“It is not a problem to choose different or unusual kinds of nutrition, and we certainly do not want to enter into a discussion of the merits of the decision,” Luca Bernardo, director of paediatrics at Milan hospital told The Telegraph.

“But since birth, the baby should have had support in this case with calcium and iron.”

It is believed the boy will be released into the custody of his grandparents when he is well enough to leave hospital.

Vegan diets can be safely fed to children, but they need to be properly supplements with vitamins B12, vitamin D, calcium and iron.

Not surprisingly, social media went into meltdown after Tay’s surprise visit.

“Real life angel!” one user tweeted. “Can’t believe she visited the hospital I sometimes have to go to!”

Johnny Depp got into the selfie action while he was at Lady Cilento.

And Taylor followed suit.

But no one looked more pleased than young cancer sufferer Bella, who posted a video of herself taking selfies with the pop starlet on Instagram.

They did several poses to make sure they got the perfect shot, while Taylor snapped away.

The pop star was so pleased she managed the keep the whole thing under wraps.

According to several reports, the visit was initiated at Taylor’s request and was kept under wraps so the patients had no idea.

Not even staff, who were thrilled at the Love Story singer’s appearance, knew she was coming ahead of time.

They were touched when the star presented the staff with a note that said, “Thank you for all the work you do, you are amazing.”

The shock news comes just three weeks after her husband was jailed.
Roxy Jacenko diagnosed with breast cancer

Roxy Jacenko has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The news comes just three weeks after Roxy’s husband Oliver Curtis was jailed for insider trading.

“The timing is extraordinary,” the 36-year-old mother of two told The Daily Telegraph.

“What I have experienced in the past three weeks is the most shocking thing I have ever experienced. I don’t think there is anything that could shock me more now.”

Roxy, Oliver and their two children Pixie and Hunter.

Roxy discovered a lump in her breast last week. She was due to have it removed yesterday but the surgery was delayed because the tumour is larger than it initially appeared to be so requires more testing before doctors decide how to treat it.

Roxy also revealed she had been forced to tell her husband over the phone.

Roxy and Oliver have two children together Pixie, four, and Hunter, two.

He repeatedly raped his 11-year-old stepdaughter but his jail time has just been slashed.
Man who raped stepdaughter, 11, has sentence slashed

A Western Australian man who repeatedly raped his 11-year-old step-daughter before also raping her mother at knifepoint has had his sentence reduced by four years.

A Western Australian man who repeatedly raped his 11-year-old step-daughter before also raping her mother at knifepoint has had his sentence reduced by four years.

The 49-year-old man was sentenced to 20 years in prison last June after he pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting his young stepdaughter multiple times over a period of several months.

The girl was aged just 11 and living with the man and her mother when the attacks began. He admitted to filming one of the attacks, in which he told the girl to “stop whingeing” when she started crying.

When the girl’s mother found out about the abuse, she ended their relationship but around six months later, he kidnapped the mother and raped her at knifepoint before stabbing her.

Yesterday, three Court of Appeal judges reduced the man’s sentence to 16 years, ruling the first sentence “did not bear a proper relationship to the criminality involved”.

The man will be eligible for parole in 2030 when he will be 63 years old.

Roxy is a high powered businesswoman who already has a tough time juggling work and kids.

“He happened to phone when I was at the specialist so I just told him then,” Roxy told The Advertiser.

She says the call lasted just six minutes, the longest Oliver is allowed as an inmate.

The PR maven’s family have some tough times ahead.

The PR guru says she hasn’t told her two-year-old son Hunter about her diagnosis but her oldest child Pixie has been informed.

“She cried last night because I said I wasn’t going to come home for two nights because I would be in hospital,” she revealed.

Meanwhile, the 36-year-old revealed that her husband was a “broken man”, and that she was shell-shocked over the events of the past few weeks.

“I don’t think there is anything that could shock me more now,” she said.

The court’s decision to commit Oliver to jail time has meant that Roxy is now the sole carer for the couple’s two children.

But this new and devastating medical diagnosis is sure to put strain on an already fractured family.

It was night of ultimate girl power and Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones dazzled at the red carpet for the Hollywood premiere of Ghostbusters.

Leaving the khaki jumpsuits at home, the stellar cast looked phenomenal at the LA premiere.

Melissa, 45, showed off her incredible physique in a sunshine-yellow dress, while her co-stars Kristen and Kate went for fitted couture looks.

But it was Leslie Jones that took our breath away with her Hollywood glamour-inspired outfit. The 48-year-old recently revealed how no designer wanted to dress her for the big event, but clearly she found the perfect fit, stealing the show in a custom-made red dress by Project Runway designer Christian Siriano.

There was one notable absence from the day, Chris Hemsworth.

The Aussie hunk, who portrays Kevin the receptionist in the film, was certainly on the ladies’ minds – all joking they wished he was in attendance.

Despite no Chris, we’re guessing we have an instant classic on our hands with The Guardian giving it an impressive 4/5 stars, “Rejoice! The new Ghostbusters is good. Very good, in fact!”

Kristen Wiig was a vision in a strapless floral number and a cute bob, which she teamed with a pair of statement earrings.

Celebrities back Save The Box campaign

For too long, gynaecological cancer has been hidden under a cloud of silence. Until now.
Save the Box

Enter the ground-breaking Save The Box campaign, which is encouraging Australians to start having potentially life-saving conversations about gynaecological cancers and raise funds for cancer research.

A slew of Aussie stars are throwing their names behind the campaign, including Ita Buttrose, Reggie Sorensen, Johanna Griggs and Deborah Knight.

Donning her cheeky Save The Box T-shirt, Johanna Griggs explained in her Instagram post just how important the crusade is.

“Yep – you read this T-Shirt right. It says Save The Box! Why? Because Every single day 15 Aussie women get diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer,” theHouse Rules host explained.

“We don’t hear much about these types of cancers and they receive very little funding to find a cure,” she added.

Studio Ten stars Joe Hildebrand and Ita Buttrose are backing the campaign.

Meanwhile reporter Jane Azoppardi summed up the notion perfectly in her poignant Instagram post: “Just because something is a bit awkward to talk about, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t.”

Hoping to lift the taboo surrounding these illnesses Save The Box, which has been spearheaded by the not-for-profit organisation The Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (ANZGOG), is already gaining momentum on social media.

“Just because something is a bit awkward to talk about, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t. Australia – we need to talk about gynaecological cancer,” Jane Azoppardi explained.

“People feel uncomfortable speaking about women’s gynaecological health. The words for a woman’s intimate parts are often considered taboo and most people are unaware there are seven gynaecological cancers – ovarian, uterine (the most common being endometrial), cervical, vulvar, vaginal and two rare pregnancy cancers,” explains ANZGOG CEO Alison Evans.

And with 5,530 Australian women being diagnosed with one of the seven types of gynaecological cancers in 2015 and survival rates improving by just 7 per cent in the last 25 years there’s no time better than this very moment to help Save The Box.

To donate to the Save the Box campaign, register your support for gynaecological cancer or for more information visit www.savethebox.org.au.

The Woman’s Day team are doing their bit!
