James Packer and Mariah Carey’s wedding in doubt

Packer’s plans to wed his pop princess have hit a snag!

She’s busily planning her third wedding but Mariah Carey may not make it down the aisle at all – because she’s still legally married to her second husband.

Mariah split from Nick Cannon – with whom she has two children – in August 2014 and he filed for divorce four months later, but TMZ reports he never signed the official papers meaning they are still married.

The site says Nick “still loves Mariah and doesn’t want to officially let her go”.

Nick and Mariah married in 2008 on her private estate on Windermere Island in the Bahamas. They have four-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.

Mariah and Nick before their 2014 split.

James proposed to Mariah in January after a whirlwind romance, presenting her with a 35 carat $7.5 million diamond ring big enough to break a more novice jewellery wearer’s wrist.

Assuming Mariah’s divorce is finalised, James and Mariah are reportedly planning to tie the knot later this year in an “intimate” ceremony attended by close friends and family.

Mariah and James plan to tie the knot soon.

The couple are an unlikely pair!

“Any long-distance relationship is tough, but to have gone through what those two have, facing such a traumatic experience together, it was always going to be difficult. She’s finding it really lonely without Nate.”

Sam and Snezana reveal: ‘Our TV wedding is off’

It could have been the small screen event of the year, but The Bachelor stars Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski have told NW their big-money TV wedding deal is off!

Chatting about their upcoming nuptials after Sam, 36, proposed in Tassie on December 14 last year – the pair have revealed that they want to keep their special day for themselves.

“We’re going to go down the private way, we’re not going to have a TV wedding,” says Sam, while Snez, 35, adds, “I’ve been looking at designers and stuff [for the wedding dress], but I haven’t really got much further with any of the arrangements.”

The loved-up couple admitted they were considering a TV deal earlier this year, with Sam telling us, “It would have to be under the right circumstances, but really it’s Snez’s decision.”

But after thinking about it, they now want to make it a family day to remember.

“The way we met was so public so it would be nice for the wedding to be private,” he says.

And this isn’t the only thing they’ve changed their minds about recently. While Sam told us last year that they’d prefer to get married before Snez falls pregnant, they’re now fine with letting fate decide!

“Whatever happens first, happens first!” Snez giggles, while Sam adds, “We do want more kids. We’re enjoying trying very much!”

And we’ve gotta say, Snez would totally slay rocking a wedding dress and a bump!

6 ways to make your home extra cosy this winter

Simple tips to get you through the cold months in style (and warmth)!
Woman Relaxing at Home in Winter

With new-season Offspring on its way, not to mention the temperature dip, chances are you’re looking forward to more nights in and some cosy home comforts.

But before you settle in for the season, check out these six easy style switches that will make your home even cosier. Best of all, they call for zero commitment – no crazy renos required!

Click through the gallery now and get ready to boost your lounging time.

Brought to you by Dyson

Use rich colours

When winter hits, out pop all the dark, moody tones. It’s the same story every year. Now, we’ve got nothing against charcoal and chocolate hues, but when combined with dark, stormy nights, they can start to feel a bit miserable. Brighten up your house’s colour palette with an injection of jewel tones (think gold, sapphire, emerald and ruby) for an instant mood lift. Easton Triangle Cushion, $15 and Gold Spot Cushion, $20, both Target.

Invest in a decent heater

A good heater with a wide reach will help you save money on the bills in the long run. You won’t need to have it on constantly – and you won’t all be crowding around it every night! Make sure it has automatic cut-off technology so you can safely use it while you sleep. This one even doubles as a fan so you can use it all year ‘round making it a worthy investment. Dyson Hot+Cool Black/Nickel Fan, $699.

Throw in some texture

One of the simplest ways to create a cosy home is through texture. And lots of it! Don’t be afraid to mix ‘n’ match, there’s no such as clashing in this area. Make your space homely and super inviting by using faux fur throws to create a cosy nook. Knitted baskets also work – and are great for hiding untidy toys from last-minute visitors – and fuzzy cushions have some serious lounge appeal. Kmart Reversible Faux Fur Throw – Ombre, $25.

Add some greenery

Plants really pop against dark colours and make a room feel alive. Plus they’re more cost-effective than fresh flowers as they’ve got longevity on their sides – provided you remember to water them from time to time! If that all sounds too stressful and feels like just another mouth to feed, opt for an artificial plant instead. You get the cozy comfort of a plant with no effort whatsoever. Win win. Typo Medium Ceramic Planter, $29.99.

Rug up

Wooden or tiled floors are lifesavers in the heat of the summer, but they can turn seriously frosty in winter. You lose a lot of heat through your feet so cover up big, exposed areas with a plush, high pile rug that’ll absorb a lot of the chill and keep toes nice and warm this winter. A must for areas that you and the family spend a lot of time in like the living room. A true winter warmer. IKEA Fakse Rug, $249.

Spice up your scent

A signature scent is a really quick and easy way of adding a cosy element to your home – you soon associate your chosen fragrance with memories. You don’t need to change it up every week, but a seasonal scent is a particularly powerful mood-setting tool. In winter add warmth to your home through smells that are typically associated with winter such as spice, caramel and vanilla. [Palm Beach Standard Candle in Clove and (Sandalwood]http://palmbeachcollection.com.au/collections/all/products/standard-candle-clove-and-sandalwood/|target=”_blank”), $42.95.

Paris Hilton throws pregnant sister Nicky a lavish baby shower

To celebrate the impending arrival of the newest Hilton, Paris put on a picture perfect baby shower for her younger sister Nicky.
Paris Hilton Nicky Hilton

Oops! Paris accidentally revealed the bub's gender in an interview earlier this year.

In true Hilton spirit, Paris threw her younger sister a seriously luxurious baby shower on Wednesday this week.

Taking over one of the most stunning rooms at New York’s lavish Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the blonde beauty celebrated the impending birth of her sibling’s first baby for the second time in weeks.

For the joyous occasion, the 35-year-old heiress donned a long, yellow embellished gown whilst her burgeoning sister showed off her stunning bump in a white, lace frock.

Their mother Kathy and soon-to-be grandmother was also in attendance, looking the picture of elegance in a pale v-neck dress.

The Hilton girls can’t wait to meet the newest addition.

“Makes me so happy to see my sister so happy, beautiful & glowing. So excited for her starting her new family,” the Stars Are Blind songstress wrote alongside a sweet picture with the two.

“Can’t wait to meet this little girl!” she captioned another happy snap in which she excitedly cradles Nicky’s growing bump.

Watch Paris talk about her niece in the video player below! Post continues…

Guests at the stunning bash were treated to an array of cakes and sweet treats, but the piece de resistance was undoubtedly an intricately decorated cake inspired by French designer D. Porthault.

The delectable confection appeared to be a pink and white patterned pillow, topped with a jewel-encrusted baby rattle and rubber duck.

The 32-year-old’s pregnancy was announced in January this year; just six months after the couple tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony at Kensington Palace.

Since the announcement, Paris just hasn’t been able to stop gushing about her excitement of becoming an aunt.

The stunning cake looked almost too good to eat!

Last month, Nicky prepared for the arrival of her little girl with another baby shower in California – also hosted by her sister.

“I’m so excited for the baby!” Paris said to Us Weekly in May before accidentally revealing the bub’s gender.

“She’s going to be such a beautiful little girl, and I can’t wait to meet her.”

“Now that I know it’s a girl, it’s getting easier to buy things for her. I love all the dresses I got her. There are so many beautiful dresses and little princess outfits. So I can’t wait to see her in them.”

Nicky and her husband James Rothschild are due to welcome the newest Hilton in early July.

This will be the first child for Nicky and husband James.

Is beer good for your brain?

If you're planning to have a few beers this weekend, you'll be pleased to hear this...

A new study from Iceland found that moderate beer consumption may fend of Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers looked at autopsy data from males who were 35 to 70 years old at the time of death. Consumption of alcohol, Aβ aggregation in the brain, and apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype were assessed. Surviving relatives then answered a questionnaire about their drinking habits.

The results showed that beer consumption could protect against Aβ aggregation in the brain, one of the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. The amount of alcohol consumed was not linked with Aβ aggregation, and neither was spirit or wine consumption.

The researchers have called for more research to investigate the other factors that could be involved.

This study adds weight to the idea that beer could actually be good for you.

Other surprising health benefits of beer include reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney stones, strengthening your bones and helping to manage blood pressure. On top of this, beer is also considered one of the best natural treatments of dandruff.

Of course this doesn’t mean that we should all start downing beers. The health benefits will go out the window if you drink excessively as the health risks associated with over doing it will cancel out any positives.

Dr Tina Lam from the National Drug Research Institute notes that when it comes to alcohol, moderation is always key.

“Stay within the national drinking guidelines of no more than two standard drinks in a single sitting to reduce risk of long term harms such as cancer, heart conditions and stroke.”

Lam notes that we should not have more than four standard drinks in a single session to reduce short term risks such as accidents and injuries.

So enjoy a couple of beers this weekend, but don’t expect to wake up feeling smarter the following morning.

10-year-old girl dies after being misdiagnosed by five doctors

She was unwell for nearly a week and no one picked it up.
10-year-old girl dies after being misdiagnosed by five doctors

A 10-year-old girl has sadly died after being severely unwell for nearly a week and being misdiagnosed by five medical practitioners.

Briony Caitlin Klingberg passed away in January 2015 after suffering multiple organ failure due to overwhelming herpes simplex infection, 6Minutes reports.

An inquest into her death has begun, with the court hearing that on the 11th of January, Briony had a high fever and ulcerated throat which prevented her from sleeping, drinking or eating.

Her mother, Bridget Klingberg, took her to her local GP and then to Adelaide Women’s and Children’s Hospital emergency department where she was sent home.

When her condition did not improve, her mother took her to Mt Barker Hospital in South Australia where she was prescribed medication and sent home.

The following day, her parents contacted their family GP where she was given antibiotics and ordered a blood test.

“He thought it was major infection – and queried glandular fever,” her mother said.

The following day, the GP called her to say the results were “odd and didn’t seem to make sense” and Briony was taken to Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

Sadly, Briony suffered a seizure in the hospital car park and was admitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit where she was treated for multiple organ failure.

Her life support was turned off on January 18.

Boy suffers second degree burns after applying popular 50SPF sunscreen

The poor little thing.
Boy suffers second degree burns after applying popular 50SPF sunscreen

A three-year-old boy has suffered first and second degree burns despite being covered in high-factor sunscreen.

Little Liam Sayers was with his mother Jennifer in Virginia, America when she sprayed him and his brother Caleb with SPF 50+ Banana Boat kids spray sunscreen before allowing them to play.

“Multiple times during the day we had the kids come out of the water, dried them off completely and then reapplied the sun spray as directed,” she told CBS 6.

Both boys were also wearing rash shirts for half the day and when they left the beach, they were all sporting light sunburns.

However, “nothing could prepare us for how Liam looked only 24 hours later.”

“Liam has 1st, 2nd and possible 3rd degree burns on his nose and cheeks. Caleb has blistering on his shoulders but nowhere near as bad as Liam has on his face.”

“When he got up for the day, his eyes were almost swollen shut; he had swelling and blistering all over his face, primarily on his cheeks and nose,” she said.

In a statement supplied to CBS6, Banana Boat said, “Nothing is more important to us than the wellbeing of the people who use our products.”

“Consumers can rest assured that Banana Boat products provide safe and effective broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection when used as directed on the product label, and with other sun protection measures as necessary.”

Banana Boat came under fire earlier this year after another boy received second-degree sunburn.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have reportedly split

There must be something in the water this week as reports have surfaced that Zayn Malik, 23, and Gigi Hadid, 21, have called time on their romance.
Loading the player...

Our hearts can’t take it! One day after we learnt that Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris had gone belly up, another celeb couple bites the dust!

Just seven months into their whirlwind romance the glamorous duo have reportedly gone their separate ways, E! News reports.

The cause for their break-up has yet to come to light however according to the website, the stars were fighting during Gigi’s recent 21st birthday celebrations.

However, it might not be the end of their romance just yet as the insider cites the fact they have “broken up and gotten back together a few times.”

“Zayn and Gigi did break up, but they can likely get back together tomorrow. It’s all very unclear what’s going on between them now. They been having some issues lately that involved communication and getting along.”

“Gigi is really sad about this, though, and in a way would like to work it out. It’s more about that constant contact with Zayn that she misses and they did get very close,” the source alleged to E! News.

Neither stars are yet to comment on the claims however on Thursday, the supermodel shared a telling video on Snapchat which showed a card (pictured above) with a love heart that read: “I know it’s obvious, but I love you.”

Since getting together, the duo have become the most in-demand power couple.

In January, the stunning blonde starred in the steamy video clip for Zayn’s single, Pillowtalk.

And in April, the pair proved their high-fashion credentials in a dreamy Vogue editorial shot by the famed Mario Testino.

Sources say the supermodel is “really sad” but the pair may indeed reconcile.

Just last month they made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala, putting on an amorous display.

Speaking about their relationship, the former 1D star recently told Complex Magazine he tried to keep their bond out of the spotlight.

“I try to keep the two very separate. I try to, as much as I can. But there’s only so much you can do,” he said. Before adding: “I’m learning to deal with it. It’s just one of those things now, in the background. I just leave it as a bit of a noise in the background.”

Meanwhile a smitten Gigi admitted she loved collaborating with her beau. “I wish I could be on set with him every day. It doesn’t feel like work when he’s there. It was really fun. We had the best time. It was an adventure to go where we shot it,” she told E! News of their Vogue shoot.

Gigi and Zayn looked seriously loved up during their first red carpet appearance at last month’s MET Gala in New York.
