Nikki Webster reveals: I’m pregnant!

Now to Love

Nikki Webster reveals she is expecting her first child with husband Matthew McMah.

To many of us, Nikki Webster will always be that bright-eyed, curly-haired poppet who flew high above Olympic Stadium at the Opening Ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Games.

But 13 years on, the 26-year-old is taking another magical journey – starting a family with husband Matthew McMah, 33.

“It’s what everybody dreams of,” smiles Nikki, who is almost seven months pregnant. “We feel very lucky and can’t wait to be parents.” Although the newlyweds, who tied the knot in Sydney 13 months ago, weren’t planning on having kids so soon, they’re thrilled.

“We weren’t trying, so it was a beautiful surprise,” says Nikki. “I felt a bit strange, so I went to the doctor and the first thing she did was hand me a pregnancy test.

See the first pictures of Nikki’s growing baby bump and read all about her exciting news in this week’s issue of Woman’s Day, on sale Monday, December 16, 2013.

Artist reveals Photoshop deception in ads

Now to Love

A student photographer has shot a series of self-portraits exposing just how deceptive Photoshopped images can be.

Anna Hill, a student at East Carolina University, created her own Photoshop campaign showing how any woman can be transformed into a model-esque beauty.

“People need to be reminded that the beautiful models we’re surrounded by daily aren’t actually real – without extensive makeup and editing, many don’t look any better than the rest of us.”

Miss Hill posted the images on Reddit and says the response from the public has been “overwhelming”.

“No one will ever know as long as you never let anyone see you in person again.”

Anna Hill dramatically changed her appearance using Photoshop, which she taught herself to use when she was eight.

Mascara companies promise longer lashes, then Photoshop the model’s eyelashes. Miss Hill decided to give herself longer legs.

“I beauty advertisements, skin is unbelievably perfect with no pores. I purposely made my skin flawless to point out how unrealistic this look is.”

Lady Gaga thought Glamour magazine made her skin look “too perfect” and her hair “too soft”.

Teen queen Demi Lovato was dramatically slimmed by US Cosmopolitan.

Oprah Winfrey: Why I never had kids

Oprah Winfrey has revealed why she has never had children in a new interview.

Now to Love

The 59-year-old talk show queen says she has no regrets about remaining childless, insisting her kids would have “suffered” because they would always come second to her work.

“If I had kids, my kids would hate me,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “They would have ended up on the equivalent of The Oprah Winfrey Show talking about me; because something would have had to suffer and it would’ve probably been them.”

Oprah says she’s never been the type of woman who daydreamed about starting a family, unlike her best friend Gayle King who has always wanted to be a mum.

“Gayle was the kind of kid who, in seventh grade, was writing down her name and the names of her children,” Oprah said.

“While she was having those kind of daydreams, I was having daydreams about how I could be Martin Luther King.”

Oprah Winfrey on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter.

Oprah has previously spoken about why she has never married Stedman, her boyfriend of 27 years. She said she would die a “never-married woman” because she could never behave like a traditional “wife”.

“If you ever interviewed him, he would tell you that had we married, we would not be together today,” Oprah said. “Because he’s a traditional man and this is a very untraditional relationship.

“I think it’s acceptable as a relationship, but if I had the title ‘wife’, I think there would be other expectations for what a wife is and what a wife does. First of all, you’ve got to come home sometimes.”

Nigella’s aides say she took drugs every three days

Now to Love

Personal assistants to Nigella Lawson have given evidence at their fraud trial, saying the celebrity chef took cocaine “regularly”.

Elisabetta Grillo told the court she saw regular evidence of drug use in the celebrity chef’s home and found a packet of white powder in her toilet.

Along with her sister Francesca Grillo, Elisabetta is being sued by Nigella’s ex-husband Charles Saatchi for unlawfully using his company credit cards, spending more than $530,000.

She also told the court that Nigella smoked cannabis in front of her children, and hid cocaine in a hollowed-out book in her office.

The court heard there were several signs of Nigella’s drug use, including a packet of white powder found in a toilet, rolled-up banknotes and credit cards with white powder on them at the homes she shared with her late husband John Diamond.

Elisabetta also told the court she found similar evidence in the house Nigella shared with her ex-husband Charles.

“I was cleaning the house and I noticed a little packet on top of the loo, toilet,” she said.

“I opened it because it was kind of a little funny envelope and I saw white powder.”

Nigella, who has already spoken at the trial, strongly denies claims she takes drugs regularly. She told the court she had only taken cocaine at two stages in her life – when her then-husband John Diamond was dying from cancer and in 2010 when her marriage to Charles Saatchi began to fall apart.

But Elisabetta challenged Nigella’s claims, saying she saw drug use about “once every three days” when she worked for her.

Elisabetta told the court she didn’t discuss the topic with Nigella because she didn’t want to cause her any embarrassment.

“At the time I thought it was an embarrassing topic to talk to someone about it, especially when you’re part of the family. I didn’t want to embarrass myself or her,” she said.

Elisabetta also told the court that Nigella would smoke cannabis in front of her children to help her get to sleep.

“They [the children] said Nigella was smoking cannabis with them,” Elisabetta said.

“They would say that was helping Mama.”

She also said the children would take advantage of Nigella being high to ask for presents.

The trial continues.

Prince Harry ‘can’t wait’ to finish gruelling Polar trek

Now to Love

Prince Harry arrived in Antarctica last month to complete a charity race to the South Pole with a team of injured servicemen and women but a decision was made five days into the trek to suspend the competitive element.

The 29-year-old royal revealed in an audio blog posted online from his base camp that the team had “mixed emotions”.

The 29-year-old royal praised the practical decision in an audio blog posted online from his base camp, but also said the team had “mixed emotions”.

“We are three and a half days from the South Pole. I think it is going to come all pretty quickly to us. We’ve been out here now for about three and a half weeks,” he said.

“It is nice to see everybody intermingling with each other, not only every night because we camp together, but also during the day.”

Though he said everyone was in “high spirits”, he said there were some who found the gruelling trek less challenging.

“Everyone just can’t wait to get to the end. I think mixed emotions probably. I think some people, for instance Duncan, double amputee, simply doesn’t find walking to the South Pole a big enough challenge, which is why he really enjoyed the race,” he said.

“I think everyone back home will appreciate the fact that just being able to walk 100km in these conditions with no legs is a pretty amazing feat in itself.”

Harry and the teams are on the last leg to the South Pole and are expected to be standing on the South Pole on Friday or Saturday.

Kim Kardashian shows off amazing bikini body

Now to Love

Kim Kardashian has hit back at her critics in a big way! The reality TV star has posed for the first time in a bikini since she shed her baby weight… and she looks amazing!

After shedding 22kg following the birth of her daughter North West just six months ago, she’s strutting her stuff on the cover of US Weekly in a white bikini.

The 32-year-old says it’s all down to a lot of hard work, including 100 squats every morning, and the Atkins Diet.

The star, who copped a lot of criticism for her weight gain during her pregnancy, says her slimdown was the “hardest challenge” of her life. She took to Twitter recently to voice her frustration over comments her weight loss was due to surgery.

“I am very frustrated today seeing reports I got surgery to lose my baby weight! This is FALSE. I worked so hard to train myself to eat right & healthy, I worked out so hard & this was such a challenge for me but I did it!!!

“I’m so proud of my accomplishment & NO ONE will take this away from me with fake reports! Say what u want about me but I work hard & am the most disciplined person u will ever meet!”

A friend of the star recently told Hollywood Life Kim was committed to transforming her body.

“She wakes up and does more than 100 squats every single morning. Even now, when she can wear the things she did before her pregnancy, she still wants to tone her body.”

Kim, who is currently touring with her fiance Kanye West on his Yeesus tour, has a personal trainer and a chef on hand to ensure she doesn’t slip – and she eats only carb-free meals.

Despite her incredible new figure, we hear Kim wants keen to shed even more baby weight and get down to a size smaller than her pre-pregnancy shape.

“She’s hit her goal weight but wants to drop to a size 0. She also wakes up for daily 5am workouts and often does another hour in the afternoon.”

Stan Walker’s very merry Christmas!

Now to Love

After an action packed year that saw him open for music legend Beyoncé and star in his first feature film, Stan walker has earned himself a well-deserved break this Christmas.

But before he heads back to his native New Zealand to spend the festive season with his extended family, he’s about to take on one of his proudest moments.

“I’m really excited about the carols this year and it’s a big honour to be an ambassador for the Salvation Army,” Stan says.

“When you see the work they do first hand it touches you. They’re the real deal; they’re ruthless when it comes to saving people’s lives. Some of my most inspiring moments have been with the Salvo’s, I’m blown away by their work.”

The singer, who won Australian Idol in 2009, will be in good company at the event, rubbing shoulders with Johnny Ruffo and Samantha Jade.

“I’m looking forward to hanging out with Sami Jade, she’s a beast, she’s incredible,” Stan smiles. “It’s so much more fun doing these things with your mates.”

Even though Stan’s got several Carols in the Domain appearances under his belt, surprisingly he’s not too familiar with the Christmas tunes.

“I’m singing a song I’ve never sung before, The First Noel,” Stan says.

“I don’t know any other Christmas carols to be honest, we only sung Christmas songs at church and even then it was only the chorus. We weren’t brought up singing them. I only know one whole Christmas carol which is O Holy Night, it’s my favourite but someone stole that from me this year,” he laughs.

But there is one musical Christmas tradition the Walker family will always have blasting from their speakers.

“We always listen to Mariah Carey, ‘All I want for Christmas’,” Stan says. “So every year I’ll be pumping her album but this time I’ll be saying, ‘Guys I don’t just know O Holy Night anymore. Noel will be coming out.’.”

Don’t miss Salvation Army Ambassador Stan Walker rock the stage at Woolworths Carols in the Domain at 8:30pm, Saturday 21st of December on Channel 7.
