Now to Love

They’ve gone to extreme lengths to keep their romance private in the past but Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas couldn’t resist showing off their love at the weekend.

The couple – who are now reportedly living together at Kensington Palace – put on several very uncharacteristic public displays of affection, causing British bookies to slash their odds on a royal engagement this year.

The loved-up spectacle began on Friday night, when Cressida supported Harry on a public engagement for the first time, accompanying him to a charity gala.

The couple were photographed hugging during the evening, and Cressida heckled Harry during his speech.

The very next day, they went to the rugby together but missed most of the action on the field because they were too busy staring at each other and whispering incessantly.

Harry, 29, and Cressida, 24, have been dating for around 18 months.

Harry and Cressida put on an extremely rare public display of affection at the event, openly cuddling and kissing.

Eight things that could have brought down flight MH 370

Now to Love

As the search continues for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370, which disappeared over the ocean somewhere south of Vietnam while on route from Kula Lumpur to Beijing during the weekend, most reports have concentrated on the possibility of terrorism.

But there are also many other possible reasons why a fully laden plane carrying 239 passengers might go missing in mid-flight – here are eight of them.

1. Catastrophic failure of the plane’s airframe. However, most experts believe this unlikely given the plane’s safety record.

2. A bomb. A distinct possibility in this case. Pan Am Flight 103 was a transatlantic from Frankfurt to Detroit via London and New York that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Wednesday, 21 December 1988, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew.

3. Hijacking. Used many times in the past by terror groups, hijacking usually results in the targeted plane landing somewhere before demands are made in return for the release of the passengers. There is no evidence to suggest this but a hijacking gone wrong cannot be discounted.

4. Engine failure. A failure of both the plane’s Rolls Royce engines is a possibility but many experts think this unlikely because a plane can glide for around 20 minutes giving the pilots’ time to make a mayday call which didn’t happen.

5. Storms. Bad weather can bring down a plane but most modern aircraft are built to take the additional stresses of storms and the weather during the missing plane’s flight was reportedly clear.

6. Suicide. Planes have crashed in the past when their pilots decided to end their own lives and the lives of their passengers. A Silkair flight and an EgyptAir flight during the 1990s are believed to have crashed in this way.

7. Military action. Passenger aircraft have been shot down by military planes. A Korean Airlines flight was shot down in 1983 by a Russian jet fighter and an Iran Air flight was shot down by a US warship in 1988.

8. Pilot error. Again, this has happened before when pilots have become disoriented and allowed the plane to go off course. But it is unlikely because the missing plane would have been picked up by radar from the surrounding countries.

Steve Irwin’s cameraman speaks of Croc Hunter’s death

Now to Love

Steve Irwin’s cameraman, Justin Lyons, who was filming with him the day he died, has spoken for the first time in eight years about the crocodile hunter’s death.

Justin, who was described by Steve as his right-hand man, says he remembers the day “very clearly”.

“He calmly looked at me and said ‘I’m dying’,” Justin told Studio 10 of Steve’s last words as his crew desperately tried to take him back to shore for emergency help.

Justin was the sole witness to the attack on Steve, which occurred when the pair went diving together to film a documentary called Ocean’s Deadliest.

The pair had spotted a large stingray and decided to film it as part of another project they were working on.

“This one was extraordinarily large, it was eight feet long, massive, a bull ray,” Justin said.

“It was very impressive. We were only in chest-deep water, we slipped over the side of the inflatable, we stood up and chatted about what we were going to do – we always made a bit of a plan when filming under water – and we just started filming.”

What happened next was completely unexpected.

“We stood up and said ‘one last shot, you swim up behind the animal and I’ll get a shot of him swimming away,’” Justin said.

“I thought ‘this is going to be a great shot’ … all of a sudden [the stingray] propped on its front and began stabbing wildly with its tail, hundreds of strikes in a few seconds.

“It probably thought that Steve’s shadow was a tiger shark, which feed on them quite regularly. I panned with the camera as the stingray swam away. I didn’t even know it had caused any damage. It wasn’t until I panned the camera back that I saw Steve was standing in a pool of blood.”

The crew did their best to get Steve emergency help, with Justin carrying out CPR on Steve for more than an hour, but the stingray barb had pierced Steve’s lung and heart.

Justin says he’s still shocked that a stingray claimed the life of the Australian icon.

“It was probably going to be something weird with Steve, I mean a crocodile or a shark, he was so good with animals nothing was going to get him,” he said.

“We thought he was going to live forever, but we always thought it was going to be a crazy, silly accident and as it turns out that’s exactly what it was.”

Meet Prince Andrew’s new model girlfriend

The Duke of York was spotted sneaking a kiss with Croation model Monika Jakisic, who also happens to be George Clooney's ex

The Duke of York was spotted sneaking a kiss with Croation model Monika Jakisic, who also happens to be George Clooney’s ex

The Duke of York was spotted sneaking a kiss with Croation model Monika Jakisic, who also happens to be George Clooney’s ex.

The Prince and Jakisic were seen leaving a restaurant and sharing an embrace last night after another date – the third in as many weeks, leading to rumours about their involvement.

The speculation hit fever pitch today with Prince Andrew being forced to deny claims that the two were engaged. The questions arose after Jakisic, 34, tweeted a picture of a ring sitting atop a restaurant bill.

A spokesman for the Royal stated: “I can confirm the Duke of York is not engaged to Monika Jakisic.”

Jakisic is a Croation-born model and was in an on-again, off-again relationship with 52-year-old Clooney until last year.

The ‘Croatian sensation’ – as she has been dubbed – is a fan of posing in bikinis (as seen on her Twitter account) and says she is a ‘spiritual humanitarian’.

The playboy Prince, who has dated glamorous several women before and after his marriage to Sarah Ferguson, denied the existence of a love affair with Jakisic, with a statement from his representative saying, “They are just friends.”

Check out our gallery of the saucy supermodel between now and all the way back to 2003.

Prince Andrew has begun dating Croation model Monika Jakisic, who happens to be George Clooney’s ex.

Rumours are rife that Jakisic and Prince Andrew are more than friends after numerous dates.

Jakisic claims to have a ‘wild sense of humour’.

Oprah, Kirstie Alley and other celebrity yo-yo dieters

They might be rich and famous, but losing weight and keeping it off is just as hard for many celebrities as it is for the rest of us.

Now to Love

Yo-yo dieting is somewhat of a sport among celebrities. While weight fluctuation is normal it seems each week a new diet trend is being spruiked by Hollywood celebs that will see you drop a dress size so easily you won’t even break a sweat.

While some showbiz dieters have managed to maintain their new super-svelte figures, there are other stars who have become famous for their yo-yoing waistlines.

Here are a few famous faces who have been open about their battle with the bulge.

Talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey has always been honest about her weight struggles and puts her weight fluctuations down to a thyroid issue which she now seems to be keeping in check.

Britney Spears has been a tabloid punching bag for more than a decade and her weight battles have only made for more fuel for the media fodder. After some recent song success Britney is looking fit and healthy and her life looks to be back on track.

Singer Christina Aguilera’s buxom appearance (middle) at the 2012 AMA’s seemed to shock many. Of late the Dirty singer is looking slim and svelte again.

Geri Halliwell is looking fabulous at 41! The former Spice Girl is rumoured to have struggled with eating disorders before and now maintains an enviably healthy frame.

Janet Jackson’s weight struggles have made headlines since she was a teen. The pop star, who admits to gaining and losing weight for movie roles, seems to be sporting just the right amount of curves at the moment.

Fat Actress star Kirstie Alley was signed on as a Jenny Craig ambassador 10 years ago but she was unable to maintain her goal weight after she dropped several dress sizes. Kirstie has since developed her own diet program, Kirstie’s Organic Liaison Weight loss program and diet plan.

Comedy queen and Jenny Craig ambassador Magda Szubanski has been open about her struggle with weight and is back on the diet bandwagon after falling off her health kick in recent months.

Serial yo-yo dieter Mariah Carey is always keen to flaunt her figure, no matter what her weight is.

Former Spice Girl Mel B is looking better than ever after getting super-fit and shedding all her excess kilos.

Fuller figured actress Rebel Wilson certainly hasn’t let her weight stop her from being successful. The Aussie actress, who is a darling of Tinseltown, is star of her own show Super Fun Night.

Liz Hurley ‘romancing’ billionaire toyboy

It seems Elizabeth Hurley is rebounding from her broken engagement with Shane Warne by romancing a Russian billionaire 15 years her junior.

Now to Love

It seems Elizabeth Hurley is rebounding from her broken engagement with Shane Warne by romancing a Russian billionaire 15 years her junior.

The 48-year-old actress was spotted entering the plush building of newspaper tycoon Evgeny Lebedev, 33, last week, where she stayed for several hours before the pair exited together in a chauffeur-driven Bentley.

Hurley’s hook-up comes just three weeks after she reunited with former flame Warne for a romantic Valentine’s weekend, but the former Australian cricketer was seen arriving at the hotel room of Ultimo lingerie mogul Michelle Mone just hours later.

Hurley’s younger beau is likely to be unphased by the media attention that will no doubt surround the high-profile relationship. Lebedev has cultivated a playboy reputation with a string of celebrity flames including Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell, 41, and model and author, Sophie Dahl, 36.

As the son of wealthy businessman and former KGB agent Alexander, Lebedev is one of the UK’s youngest media moguls; he owns the London Evening Standard and The Independent newspapers.

According to newspaper sources Liz and Evgeny have been friends for years with the pair mixing in similar social circles and sharing celebrity friends including David Williams and Elton John.

While the romance is still under speculation Liz has been confirmed to star in a new TV series on the E! Network. Titled The Royals, the show will “offer a fictional look behind the very public gilded facade of the palace gates to imagine the private, lush, fun, sexy world of the most-watched celebrity family” and Hurley will play a lead role as conniving Queen Helena.

The series is set to air in 2015.

Nigella Lawson’s divorce demands from Charles Saatchi revealed

Nigella Lawson's list of demands in her divorce from billionaire Charles Saatchi has been made public.

Now to Love

Nigella Lawson’s list of demands in her divorce from billionaire Charles Saatchi has been made public.

While the 54-year-old domestic goddess could have requested a huge cash settlement after her decade of marriage to Saatchi, she asked for nothing more than the contents of her kitchen.

“She adores the indulgences in life – good food, good face cream, good bed linen,” Nigella’s friend Nathaniel Goldberg told British Vogue. “But she’s not spoilt.

“The very fact she walked away from her marriage without asking for anything other than the contents of her kitchen is testament to that.”

Goldberg also revealed Nigella shunned expensive removalists, instead asking some burly fishmonger friends to move the heavy appliances and boxes of homewares out of the London home she shared with Saatchi.

Nigella then threw one of her famous parties for everyone who helped her through the split – from the aforementioned fishmongers to her lawyers, her agent and her makeup artist.

Goldberg reported Nigella is finally starting to piece her life back together again after a horror year that saw her choked by Saatchi in a Mayfair restaurant, endure a very public divorce and admit to using drugs in a sensational court case.

“I’ve been able to take pleasure from things again,” Nigella is said to have told Goldberg and other friends. “I had an impromptu dinner party recently and felt an incredible sense of comfort come over me.

“I realised there was nobody coming who I would be uncomfortable in front of wearing just socks and leggings and no make-up.”

A revealing new book which alleges that the Pop Princess’s teenage antics that were far from her girl-next-door persona

Claims about a young Kylie’s sex life will be featured in a book, entitled Kylie by Sean Smith, alleging the straight-laced Neighbours star may have been more frisky than she portrayed.

Her love affair with Michael Hutchence made headlines in later years but it may not have been the INXS rocker that corrupted ‘our Kylie’, as Paolo Martin insists it was 16-year-old Kylie who made the first move on him ‘to go somewhere more private’ at a house party in Melbourne when he was 18.

Martin says: “We started kissing and I remember I told her my name and she said she was called Kylie. She was fantastic and knew what she was doing. I shut my eyes and let her get on with it.”

He said the pair had sex before being interrupted by one of his friends. Embarrassed and cold, the teens went back inside where Martin claims Kylie burst into tears.

“She was wailing, I asked for her number and that seemed to cheer her up a bit,” he said.

Despite being interested in Kylie and later taking her on a date, Martin says the relationship wasn’t going anywhere. And, even though she went on to be a music industry superstar, he does not regret his decision.

The book’s author, Sean Smith, says: “She has never revealed the identity of her ‘first love’.”

Angelina Jolie to have more surgery post mastectomy

Nine months after she revealed she had undergone a preventative double mastectomy, Angelina Jolie says she has “more surgery to go” before she’s safe from breast cancer.

Now to Love

Nine months after she revealed she had undergone a preventative double mastectomy, Angelina Jolie has said she has “more surgery to go” before she’s safe from breast cancer.

The 38-year-old actress had both of her breasts removed and then reconstructed in May 2013 after learning she had the BRCA breast cancer gene and now she has confirmed she has to undergo yet another surgery before she is out of the woods.

“There’s still another surgery to have,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I’ll get advice from all these wonderful people whom I’ve been talking to, to get through that next stage.”

In an open letter to the New York Times the mother-of-six went public with her surgery news last year and says she was overwhelmed with the supportive response.

“I was very, very moved by all the support and kindness from so many people,” she said. “The reason that I wrote it was to try to communicate and help and connect with other women and other families going through the same thing.”

Jolie elected to undergo a total of three surgeries for a preventive double mastectomy after her doctors discovered that she had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer.

Jolie’s mother died at 56 after an almost decade long battle with cancer and her mother’s fate seemed to weigh heavily on the actress’s decision making.

“Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimise the risk as much I could,” wrote Jolie.

Since her surgery Angie has revealed that she has no regrets.

“I’m very happy I made the decision,” she said. “I was fortunate to have great doctors and very, very fortunate to have a good recovery and a project like Unbroken [the film she is directing] to have something to be really focused on, to be getting healthy for and to be able to just get right back to work.”

Geoffrey Edelsten: Jumpsuit marked beginning of the end

Now to Love

The pantsuit which ended up costing Geoffrey $20 million and Geoffrey and Brynne Edelsten during happier times.

The millionaire says buying a pantsuit for wife Brynne in Miami was the start of a $20 million dollar loss

Geoffrey Edelsten has revealed that a lacy white pantsuit for now-estranged wife Brynne, for which he forked out $8500, ending up costing him millions in a failed investment deal. According to Edelsten, he and his wife were shopping in Las Vegas when he pointed out the attention-grabbing outfit. Also in the store at the time was Heidi Klum, who had spied the same jumpsuit.

Geoffrey Edelsten has revealed that a lacy white pantsuit for now-estranged wife Brynne, for which he forked out $8500, ending up costing him millions in a failed investment deal.

“Brynne got in first and Heidi got very upset because she wanted that same thing but we bought it,” Edelsten said.

He proceeded to form a friendship and business partnership with the boutique owners and entrepreneurs, the Mawardi family. And Brynne broke into the headlines with her one-of-a-kind designs by their fashion house, Nurielle.

Despite the fact that Bynne’s frocks were gaining more and more public attention, the business side of things wasn’t going so well. Legal proceeding are now under way between Edelsten and the Mawardis, with Edelsten claiming he should never have have trusted them and that his failed investment played a part in leading him to file for bunkruptcy in the US last year.

“Brynne said to me, ‘Don’t have anything to do with them. These people can’t be trusted’,” Edelsten said.

A lawyer on behalf of the Mawardi family has said of Edelsten: “He’s always the victim, he’s always the one taken advantage of, yet somehow he manages to evade his legal, moral and financial responsibilities.”
