The Aussie singer is amazed at how little it took for the kilos to simply fall away.
Mahalia Barnes can’t help but smile over her latest weight loss victory. Just four months ago the thought of buying a new swimming costume would have inspired the sort of fear many women experience when they walk into a store to find new cossies. “I hate trying on swimmers,” admits Mahalia. “There is nowhere to hide in swimmers. But this time it really was easy because I bought the same swimming costume I already had – only one size smaller!”
Mahalia, 30, has lost 15kg since starting Weight Watchers 17 weeks ago and is surprised at how easily the weight has dropped off through portion control and some simple changes to her diet.“I definitely have more options, and while I wouldn’t call myself a fashionista, I still love clothes, so shopping is a lot more fun,” she laughs. Mahalia’s weight loss journey has dramatically changed her shape, stripping 15cm from her bust, 12cm from her waist and 17cm from her hips. Glowing after a two-week holiday in Thailand with her husband, musician Ben Rodgers, and three-year-old daughter Ruby, she says she is more than confident she will keep winning the weight battle.
“I can’t believe I’ve lost the same amount as Ruby weighs! It really is incredible when you look at her, and she is quite heavy to carry.” Even the Thailand holiday didn’t derail her weight loss. Mahalia still ate all the food she grew to love during her childhood, courtesy of her Thai-born mum Jane, just in smaller portions. Mahalia – who was at her heaviest when competing on The Voice last year, tipping the scales at 90kg – says her weight loss has also inspired her to take up exercise for the first time since she was pregnant.
“I’ve been swimming every day. I did 10 laps [of a 25m pool] the first day and thought I was going to have a heart attack, but now I’m doing 20 laps a day, and I’ve also been doing yoga and taking a nice long walk on the beach every day. “I really love yoga. With my busy lifestyle, it’s very centering for me. Hopefully it will help change my shape and make this weight loss journey even better.”

Michelle Williams and Jason Segel have ended their year long relationship.
The pair’s long distance relationship was the reason behind the breakup, a source told People magazine.
Michelle and daughter Matilda are based in New York City while Jason lives in Los Angeles. The pair were often spotted in and around Brooklyn with seven-year-old Matilda, who is said to have treated Jason as a father figure, in the lead up to the split.
Representatives for the actors have not yet commented on the split.
Michelle Williams and Jason Segel have split.
Michelle, Matilda and Jason take a stroll together.
She’s watched by 15 million people every week but on the eve of Ellen’s first visit to Australia, Caroline Overington meets the one-woman powerhouse and finds that, behind the comic bravado, lies a heart that beats only for one.
First of all, your birthday is on Australia Day, right? When did you find that out?
I believe, and I hope this is true — Australia came up with Australia Day as a way to celebrate my birthday. So thank you. Y’all are very kind.
For many Americans, visiting Australia is literally the trip of a lifetime. You’ve now given a trip to Australia to hundreds of people. Was it more important to you to them that experience, as opposed to say, a car?
I don’t know if a trip to Australia is really better than a car. Because if you think about, if you give someone a car they can drive to Australia.
You’ve teamed up with Nicole Kidman for the promotion. Can you actually move in Hollywood for all the Australians living there: Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Rebel Wilson, Naomi Watts and so on?
It’s actually very hard to move around Hollywood with all the Australians here. Not because it’s crowded or anything, but because they drive on the wrong side of the road.
You have a personal connection to Australia: your wife Portia is an Aussie. Does Portia have any characteristics — words or mannerisms — that occasionally make you think, ‘yep, she’s Australian?’
Whenever we go ice-skating she spins in reverse.
Portia came to Australia recently to promote her book, which was an intimate study of her struggle with weight and identity. Did you know the extent of her suffering and the courage it took for Portia to get well, and to accept herself?
She learned more about me by reading my book, and I learned a little more from reading her book. Now we mostly communicate with each other by writing books. My next book is called Please Don’t Forget to Fill the Ice Cube Trays, and she’s working on Do We Have Any AAA Batteries?
Your own book, Seriously … I’m Kidding touches on similar issues of acceptance. Was it difficult to write, or was it liberating, or somewhere in between?
It was somewhere between difficult and liberating. It was defibrillating.
You recently joked with Nicole Kidman that it would be a miracle if you went swimming in a sacred waterhole and became pregnant — and that line has gone around the world. When you sit back and reflect on how far the world has come in terms of same-sex relationships, how do you feel?
First of all I wasn’t joking that it would be a miracle. It really would be a miracle if I got pregnant swimming in that pool.
Your legacy will be the barriers you leapt over during your career — is that a point of pride for you?
I get a lot of emails from people who tell me that I gave them the courage to be themselves. That’s such an amazing feeling. When you’re afraid of what other people might think about you, it’s hard to grow as a person, so I’m proud I was able to let that idea go. I love breaking through barriers, whether it’s with my career or with my car. I don’t like barriers in general.
From the outside, your job often looks genuinely difficult: dealing with people who are suffering great trauma — a cancer diagnosis, for example — how do you approach the difficult interviews?
I can’t solve everyone’s problems, so I just focus on what I can do, which is make someone smile or laugh. And of course, dancing never hurts. I end up being so inspired by those guests — they’re really remarkable.
Hillary Clinton made you a global ambassador for people with HIV. Where does your interest in this health issue come from, and where is the need greatest?
The disease grows where there is a lack of education and compassion, whether it’s in Africa or Australia or the US If I can use my celebrity to shine a light or take a stand for those less fortunate, I will. I think it’s the least we could do.
Should Hillary run for President?
I think that would be great. She still has a few pantsuits she left at the White House from last time she lived there.
Your parents got divorced when you were young. There is a theory that when these things happen, they give us the grit and determination we need to succeed in life. Is any of that true for you?
I guess. I remember wanting to make my mother laugh. That’s how this whole crazy thing got started. So yes. True.
The dancing on your show — do you think people should just dance whether they are any good at it or not?
I think people should dance whether they’re really good at it or really bad at it. Because either way I’ll put them on TV.
Your style — the funky, low-heeled look — exudes confidence. It used to be that women on TV had to look a certain way and be sprayed and buffed and styled and tanned to within an inch of their lives. Are those days over?
I’m funky and low-heeled on the show, but you should see me when I get home and relax — I’m all sprayed, buffed, and stiletto heeled.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is apparently your cousin, 15 times removed. Do you hope to be named godmother to the next heir to the British throne?
First of all, I don’t think of it as 15 times removed — I think of it as 15 times closer than anyone else. And yes, duh. I’m the obvious choice.
It may seem to some people that you’ve always been out, and that it was never an issue — but you’ve written in your autobiography that coming out in Hollywood wasn’t easy. At the same time, I would guess that you might be heartily sick of having to address the issue. That said, we lag behind the world in terms of human rights for gay Australians — a vote for gay marriage was lost in our parliament this year; a similar vote passed in Britain, which is ostensibly a more conservative country, with a conservative government. Do you have anything to say to our female prime minister about this?
I would just tell her that I married the one and only love of my life, and everyone should be so lucky to have that opportunity.
You are vegan — was that a difficult lifestyle to adopt, or is it, for you, the easiest and only way to live?
I think there’s a misconception that being vegan is difficult or isn’t delicious. I love what I eat. And think about it, everyone I know either has or grew up with pets, and they were a huge source of joy. We see the beauty and unconditional love and distinct personality of our dogs or cats, but somehow people don’t realise that the same qualities exist in every cow, horse, and chicken. We are so removed from where our food comes from. Once you make that connection, eating animal products just doesn’t make sense. It’s bad for the planet, it’s bad for our health — it’s just not a compassionate or sustainable way to live. I realise it’s an adjustment for people, and I’m not saying everyone has to be vegan today, but it’s never been easier to be a vegan and we can all benefit from it.
If I had to sum up the appeal of your show, I’d say you get the mix right: it’s got heart, it can be serious, but it’s also goofy (the Ellen underwear for men; the dancing with the audience.) How much work goes into getting that mix right? It is instinct?
It is instinct. And a jigger of tequila. Every day I get to sit around with a team of people and we look for new things that move or inspire us, or make us laugh. We figure if we respond to it, the audience will too.
You challenged Michelle Obama to a push-up contest which, given the arms on the First Lady, means you must be crazy.
Look, I don’t want to keep bringing up the fact that Michelle cheated, because I’ve moved on. But yes, physical fitness is obviously important, because if she had been more in shape, maybe she wouldn’t have needed to cheat. I think we all learned a valuable lesson.
It has been reported that your motto is: “Let’s try to beat that.” What was the first thing you decided to try that on, and how would you work that motto into daily living?
That’s the motto for my producers and writers. Because they are smart and like a challenge. But my real motto is actually “Be Kind To One Another” and I try to do that every day in my own life.
You’ve never been to Australia, which is actually a scandal. What pre-conceived notions do you have (kangaroos in the main street, we all carry hunting knives, like Paul Hogan on Crocodile Dundee?)
Of course I don’t expect kangaroos in the main street. But I do expect to see them boxing.

Magda Szubanski. Photography by Michelle Holden. Styling by Nell Simpson.
When Magda Szubanski came out as a lesbian on national TV just over a year ago, she was expecting to feel relieved, but she had no idea just how much the admission would change her life.
Magda, 51, had been keeping her sexuality a secret from her devoted fans for decades — so long that she didn’t realise how it was affecting her life until she confessed.
“As time’s gone on this year and I’ve become more comfortable, I feel such relief, I can’t tell you,” she tells the March issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly.
“I hadn’t realised how tense I had been for so long. I feel like there’s nothing to hide now.”
Despite her relief at finally coming out, Magda says she initially regretted her decision to tell-all on TV.
“To come out nationally was a huge step,” she says. “Most lesbians I know will tell you that there are times when they just put their earrings on and pretend they’re just two ladies who are friends. But I don’t have that any more. Coming out to 20-odd million people is not an experience that I have in common with terribly many people.
“I think there’s a kind of collective fantasy about what it’s like, that you come out and it’s ‘Ha-lle-lu-jah’ [she sings] and everything’s fine. But it doesn’t really work like that. I almost had buyer’s regret afterwards, thinking ‘uhhh … what have I done?’ Because it just feels so permanent and irrevocable. Initially, I felt really vulnerable, to be honest.”
One year later, Magda is thrilled to confirm that “people have been overwhelmingly supportive”, aside from a few negative comments, which she feels strong enough to brush off.
What’s more, there has been no backlash to date in terms of her career. “I’m still working. But there’s still a little bit of me that’s waiting for it.”

Hollywood has anointed human growth hormone as the latest anti-ageing miracle drug and some local doctors say it’s enjoying a rise in popularity here. Yet, as Susan Horsburgh reports, is it the elixir of youth or a risky waste of money?
Once the domain of the dodgy athlete or the bodybuilder resembling a bag of marbles, HGH has found favour in recent years among ageing celebrities desperate to reset the clock.
Described as “the love child of Viagra and Botox”, it is said to reduce body fat and build lean muscle mass, smooth wrinkles and boost libido, so it’s no surprise that Hollywood is reportedly mad for it. In a town that worships the holy trinity of youth, beauty and sex appeal, the so-called miracle drug has hit the bullseye of its target market.
HGH, the hormone that stimulates growth and cell reproduction, is naturally produced in the pituitary gland, with levels peaking during adolescence and gradually declining as we age.
The reasoning goes that, if you top up a 50-year-old’s growth hormone level with synthesised HGH so it’s equal to that of a 30-year-old, the patient will regain the health, energy and libido they had then.
HGH, or Somatropin, is registered by the Therapeutic Goods Administration for use in children with growth disorders and adult s with severe growth hormone deficientcy. It is not approved as an anti-ageing agent, but it can be prescribed “off-label” for genuine medical reasons.
Possession is illegal without a valid prescription and importing HGH into the country is prohibited.
If it seems inconceivable that the muscle-paralysing injectable drug that has been the subject of professional misconduct cases and centre of a reportedly booming black market, will catch on in Australia, remember Australia was slow to catch on to Botox, too — and now it’s the most common cosmetic procedure in the country.
As one talent manager told Vanity Fair last year, “Any actor over 50 you’re still seeing with a ripped stomach and veins in his forearms is probably taking HGH.”
There is a litany of health risks and international HGH expert Professor Ken Ho labels it “snake oil for people who are dissatisfied with their lives”, but in Hollywood — where insecurity is an epidemic — the warnings seem to hold little sway.
Actor Nick Nolte and director Oliver Stone have sung its praises, Sylvester Stallone said “everyone over 40” should try it, and rumour has is that the age-defying Demi Moore, Jennifer Aniston and Madonna have had HGH injections, too.
It’s had some bad press of late with disgraced cycling legend Lance Armstrong admitted to taking HGH and, closer to home, the Australian Crime Commission’s report into drugs in sport revealed the widespread use of growth hormone-releasing peptides, which stimulate natural HGH production and are more difficult to detect than injected HGH.
But disciples of the drug sing its praises loudly. “Dr Ces”, as he’s known, was introduced to HGH as an anti-ageing treatment a decade ago, when he was practising on London’s Harley Street, treating celebrities and moonlighting on TV makeover shows.
Famous actors, he says, were using HGH to remember their lines, feel more energetic and rejuvenate their skin. According to Dr Ces, if HGH isn’t the fountain of youth, it’s “about as close to it as you’re going to get”.
He explains all on his mindboggling website, which features what appear to be topless Roman goddesses and shiny pictures of himself with his shirt unbuttoned just north of his navel and breast implants perched on his desk.
In an extensive list of “massive” HGH benefits, he tells potential patients they can expect fat loss without dieting and muscle-mass increase without exercise, not to mention “enhanced sexual performance”, “elimination of cellulite” and “younger, thicker skin”. Who wouldn’t want to get on board?
But with daily injections costing about $5000 a year and coming with a myriad of side effects from joint and muscle pain to a heightened risk of diabetes and possible cancer, experts like leading endocrinologist Ken Ho who has studied HGH for 35 years say the drugs perceived benefits a “mischievous and exploitative” assumption, based on “a lot of slipper science”.
“What a lot of people are being sold is a placebo effect,” he says, “because, if you are paying for something which is expensive and coming through the hands of a purported guru, there’s an expectation.”

Living with brain cancer: Gus Larkin (front) with his mother, Maryanne, brother Van and sister Josie. Photography: Yianni Aspradaskis
Have you ever had a splitting headache and thought to yourself, “I hope this isn’t a brain tumour”? You are not alone. Of course, very few headaches turn out to be brain cancer, but for those who are diagnosed with this devastating and life-threatening condition, the journey is going to be tough.
Gus Larkin from North Sydney, NSW, is 14 years old and was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was 11.
“In March 2010, I started having trouble with my eyes – I would really have to concentrate hard when I looked down to read at school,” says Gus.
“I went to see an optometrist and ophthalmologist, and they said it might be best to go to hospital to see what was wrong. At the hospital, they couldn’t work out what it was, so they ordered an MRI and when they got the results back I was told I had a brain tumour.”
It was scary at the time, but since then Gus has had 23 MRIs, had a major operation, as well as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
“It was all a bit crazy when I was diagnosed. Five weeks before we found out I had a brain tumour, my dad was diagnosed with cancer, too,” Gus says.
“I can’t imagine how it all would have felt for Mum – like a punch in the face. Dad passed away in September 2011.”
“I’ve been involved with the Cure for Life Foundation and I’ve also been on some camps with CanTeen [The Australian Organisation for Young People Living with Cancer] … We usually do therapy groups and arts and crafts.
“On one of the camps, we each had a jug and over the camp we wrote notes to each other about what inspires us about the other person. They were called warm and fuzzies because that’s how they made you feel.”
Cure For Life Foundation donated the funds for Australia’s first research group dedicated to tackling the rising incidence of brain tumours, established at the Lowy Cancer Research Centre. The research facility, known as the Cure For Life Neuro- Oncology Laboratory, is led by renowned brain tumour researcher, Dr Kerrie McDonald.
Brain cancer can affect men and women at any age. It was once a disease of the elderly, but the age of diagnosis has been getting younger and younger, with childhood cases also on the increase.
Nobody knows why, according to Dr McDonald, and this and many other questions need to be answered if we are to make progress in treating this devastating disease.
Brain cancer is mysterious for a number of reasons, says Dr McDonald. “We don’t know why the age is getting younger. We have no clues. We have discovered through examining the genetic structure of 50 different tumours in the past year that every single tumour is unique.
“At this stage, we can’t prevent something where we don’t know the cause and we can’t cure a disease we don’t understand.”

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult, Allen & Unwin, $29.99.
This astonishing return to form from US best-selling author Jodi Picoult, whose last two books were comparatively lacklustre, is surely her most outstanding work to date.
Sage Singer, 25, is a brilliant baker at Our Daily Bread in small town Westerbrook, run by former nun, Mary DeAngelis, who runs “not a bakery, but a community”.
The walls are daubed with sucky slogans — “All you knead is love” — and customers are blessed with cool barista Rocco’s swirling patterns and sip cappuccino with frothy Pope Benedict XVI and Lady Gaga toppings.
Solitary Sage, clad in clogs and cap, bakes out back from 5pm until dawn, but the mentally and facially scarred orphan suits this twilight existence.
Her married funeral director boyfriend, Adam, is the extent of her social life, alongside attendance at Helping Hands, a grief counselling group, to which members bring memories of their loss — a pair of knitted pink bootees, a husband’s TV remote control. Sage sits empty-handed.
Yet all this changes when new group member nonagenarian Josef Weber — who, with dachshund Eva, is already a coffee shop regular, but unknown to the elusive baker — reveals that his losses are “too many to count”.
He picks Sage out after the session to comment that, although she does not talk much, when she does, “You are a poet”.
Sister Mary assures a suspicious Sage that Weber is “… as close as you can get to being canonized while still alive”.
Sage is drawn deftly and gently into focus by Picoult through the eyes of the old man, her Polish-Jewish heritage uncovered and a glimpse of the story behind her scars.
“I find myself talking about things I have long packed up. Every memory is like a paper flower … and, once they’ve been let loose, the memories are impossible to tuck away again,” she confesses.
Then comes the kicker — Weber asks Sage to kill him, showing her a photograph of himself as an SS guard.
And from here, Picoult embarks on a richly woven tale of four generations of Jews and Nazi indoctrination and terrifying genocide.
What could be heavy-handed is poetry in the author’s hands and leaves us constantly churning the painful nature of forgiveness.

Prince Harry only recently arrived back in the UK from a four-month tour of Afghanistan, but his itchy feet and charitable instincts have seen the prince travel to Africa on a three-day tour on behalf of his charity.
Harry is due to stop in Lesotho and South Africa where he will tour some of the projects set up by his charity, Sentebale.
He will spend the first two days on a private tour of Lesotho with close friend and charity co-founder Prince Seeiso, who Harry met while travelling on his gap year in 2006.
Following the Lesotho tour Harry will then fly on to Johannesburg for a fundraising dinner in aid of building the first permanent centre for children and young people suffering from HIV.
Of Lesotho’s population of just over two million, 40 per cent live under the international poverty line and according to 2009 figures more than 23 per cent of people aged over 15 in the country are infected by HIV/AIDS.
Harry and Seeiso set up Sentebale — which means “forget me not” in the country’s native language Sesotho — in the same year.
The name was chosen to pay tribute to Harry’s mother Diana who devoted much of her time to raising money for AIDS research.
The Prince last travelled to Lesotho in 2010 along with his brother William, when he told reporters he could see himself living in the area.
“When I am here in Africa, I can be myself,” he told reporters.
Harry believed that setting up a project in one of the most proverty-stricken and marginalised areas of the world, he would be continuing his mother’s legacy.
Researchers closer to ovarian cancer detection test
Nineteen years after her diagnosis, ovarian cancer survivor Margaret Rose told an Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day leaders forum today the reason the disease isn’t talked about as much as other women’s health issues is because “not many of us survive”.
An average of 1200 Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year, and of those, 90 per cent die from the disease.
But researchers are making significant progress towards a blood test for the early detection of ovarian cancer that could help turn those figures around.
A team from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, led by Dr Goli Samimi, is developing a test that would enable doctors to screen women at high-risk of getting ovarian cancer, such as those with a family history of the cancer.
Dr Samimi said non-invasive screen-testing was important for high-risk groups, as the extremely general nature of the disease’s symptoms — bloating, change in appetite, fatigue — meant the cancer is often overlooked in the early stages due to a lack of warning signs.
“Early detection is key to improving survival,” Dr Samimi said.
“Ovarian cancer is mostly diagnosed at a late stage, when it has already spread beyond the ovaries and into peritoneal space by the time patients are diagnosed.
“At this stage, complete removal of the tumour is very challenging, which is why only 20 per cent of women survive five years after diagnosis.”
The technique being used by the researchers is unique and a “world first”.
“It is clear that developing a test to facilitate early detection is our best chance of reducing the toll of this terrible disease,” Dr Samimi said.
Ms Rose, who chairs the Garvan Institute ovarian cancer research fun, said the benefits of an early detection test would be “enormous”.
“We really need to focus our energies and resources on ovarian cancer because there are no clear defining symptoms, there is no screening test, hundreds of Australian women are affected every year and the survival rates are so horrendous,” she said.
The present CA125 blood test provides inconclusive indications of ovarian cancer, and only an operation can ascertain the presence of the cancer, but research by Ovarian Cancer Australia shows three out of five women incorrectly believe the cancer is detected by a pap smear and more than half believe the cervical cancer vaccine also protects against ovarian cancer.
The organisation is raising funds for research projects like Dr Samimi’s early detection test by selling teal ribbons from stores nationwide and through www.ovariancancer.net.au .
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, Text Publishing, $29.99.
After winning the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for best unpublished manuscript last June, interest in Graeme Simsion’s The Rosie Project has catapulted from low hum to very loud buzz in the literary world, with 30 countries snapping up the rights, earning the Melbourne-based debut author more than $1 million in advances and a film rights deal to boot.
And as you start reading this extraordinary work, there’s no doubt that unlikely hero Don Tillman is about to take the world if not by storm, certainly by rational argument.
Socially awkward, most probably with undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome, Don is a 40-year-old geneticist, who following the advice of one of his three friends, elderly neighbour Daphne, given before she descends into the fog of Alzheimer’s, begins to search for the perfect life partner.
“Don, you would make someone a wonderful husband,” Daphne announces following one of their many dinners together while her husband sits in a nursing home with dementia.
Don, ever pragmatic and under no illusions about his shortcomings, is unsure about Daphne’s proclamation, but even his painful logic cannot find fault with her simple argument “there is someone for everyone”.
So begins the Wife Project with the flawed help of one of Don’s other friends, Gene from the psychology department in the university where Don works, whose open marriage allows him to pursue his own rather more suspect project of bedding as many women of different nationalities as possible.
Don scientifically constructs a questionnaire to find a woman who fits his exacting criteria and begins his search.
Then he meets Rosie and following a hilarious (for us, not Don) first date decides they are incompatible as life partners, but feels inexplicably drawn to her.
Rosie, whose mother is dead, is searching for her real father. She begins the Father Project with Don using his genetic expertise and much more besides to hunt down the culprit.
What happens next is at once laugh-out-loud funny, poignant and so ingenious and compelling you feel as if you want to jump into the world of the novel and join in.
In Don’s confessionals, there are echoes of Bridget Jones, writer Nick Hornby and Amelie in the French movie hit.
Also, of course, Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets comes to mind, which Simsion references, but essentially Don Tillman is utterly and beautifully unique and, be warned, you will fall in love with him.
