Stepping out at the Nickelodeon awards last week, Bindi Irwin proved she is no longer a little girl.

The 13-year-old, who celebrated her birthday in July, walked the red carpet alongside her little brother Robert, wearing a sparkling black and silver dress.

Terri Irwin has previously told Woman’s Day it’s hard to see her little girl grow up so fast.

“The little girl-to-young lady thing happens so quickly,” she said.

“We hit these milestones and I think, ‘Gee, I wish Steve was here for it’ and then I think he kind of is. We’re being watched over. That’s special too.”

Bindi has said she often thinks of her dad Steve, who passed away five years ago.

“Of course, I miss my dad but I do feel like he’s watching over us,” she said.

It was love at first sight for the unlikely pair…now they are heading down the aisle after an old-fashioned proposal and a $100,000 sapphire and diamond “rock”.

It’s easy to see why Shane Warne fell for Elizabeth Hurley – she’s sexy, sophisticated, has a wicked sense of humour and flirts as outrageously as he does. Liz ticks a lot of boxes. Now, the actress, model and former punk rocker, who once sported pink hair and a nose ring and famously said, “I’d kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe”, is about to tick the biggest one of all – ‘wife’, ‘spouse’, ‘the other half’, ‘the better half’, ‘the missus’.

What started as the most unlikely celebrity coupling of 2010 has become the love story of 2011, thanks to dozens of Tweet-nothings and a romantic proposal on bended knee from Australia’s most testosterone-fuelled cricketer. How Shane, 42, got Liz, 46, to agree to marry him is the source of much admiration or bemusement, depending on which side of the wicket (or world) one happens to be on. However, there’s no doubt he’s bowled this maiden over. Lovestruck Shane popped the question while the pair were in Scotland for the Dunhill Links Pro-Am Golf Championship, in which Shane competed.

Liz accepted the proposal and, with it, her “Angel” Shane’s promise – implicit in every marriage contract – to love, honour and be a good boy! And it appears he has been… given that he almost lost Liz last December after it was revealed he’d been sending texts to a Melbourne woman while romancing the British bombshell. The couple solved the problem by making a New Year’s Eve “clean slate” pact, reported in Woman’s Day, that excused any romantic indiscretions prior to January 1, 2011, and allowed them a fresh start together. And now that their lusty affair has blossomed into true love, it’s little wonder they couldn’t stop smiling the day after Shane popped the question.

The size of the engagement ring, and Liz’s penchant for stealing the show, make the couple’s visit to Melbourne next month for the Spring Racing Carnival and the opening of Shane’s Club 23 lounge bar at Crown Casino all the more exciting. The Aussie trip will be the perfect prelude to the main event – a summer wedding. There’s no doubt Liz and Shane’s big day will be glamorous and star-studded, and it’s odds on that whippet-thin Liz, who loves white jeans, white tie and a tiara or two, will opt for a big white wedding. It’s unlikely to be small or informal. Nor is it likely to be posh and grand like Liz’s Brit-and-Bollywood double wedding to Arun Nayar, an extravaganza of excess for which she was paid two million pounds by Hello! magazine and which ended in divorce earlier this year.

Read more about Shane and Liz’s wedding plans, their guest list and how Shane’s ex-wife Simone feels about the proposal in this week’s Woman’s Day on sale October 10, 2011.

It’s been the most joyous of times for celebrated food judge George Calombaris and his partner Natalie Tricarico.

Something kind of wonderful has happened to George Calombaris, and it has nothing to do with the perfect pressure test, ultimate mystery box challenge or even the most inspired culinary creation. It’s a beautiful baby boy named James George Calombaris, or James, as his parents call their very own Junior MasterChef.

George and his partner, Natalie Tricarico, can’t get enough of their little ray of sunshine. “Excuse my pyjamas,” apologises George when we knock on the door early in the day at the MasterChef star’s bright and stylish terrace house in inner Melbourne. “James has just had a feed, he’s content and now all he wants is to be held and cuddled. Suddenly, I go from running six restaurants with 300 staff to everything being all about James.”

Not that a beaming George, 32, is complaining. It becomes clear that being inducted into parenthood has irrevocably changed the no-nonsense award-winning chef, TV judge and restaurateur. “It makes us strong men who run businesses and do all these things, so soft – we become like marshmallows,” he confesses, cradling his tiny son in his arms in the kitchen while Natalie, 34, prepares steaming mugs of coffee for the Woman’s Day team. “I find myself sometimes just staring into his cot, just looking that he’s breathing. I still can’t believe that we could do something like this. It’s amazing what a new addition to the family does to everyone. It lifts everyone up. It’s really beautiful.”Natalie was just two days short of her due date when she went into labour in the middle of the night. Thankfully, George – who maintains a frenetic schedule due to his television and restaurant commitments – was home at the time, albeit fast asleep!

“I think George was panicking a little internally when I woke him up,” Natalie says, smiling, “but he didn’t want to show me that he was. He was driving a little faster than normal and I was like, ‘It’s OK. We’re not having the baby right now on the road!’” “All I know is that I put Nat in the car very quickly and got her to the hospital at the speed of light,” George recalls, laughing. “We got there about 1.30 in the morning and, unfortunately, the little one was the other way around. So at 6.37am our doctor made the decision to perform a caesarean.”

Demi’s friends say Ashton could rival the golfer in the love-rat stakes.

As a devastated Demi Moore desperately tries to salvage her marriage following reports of husband Ashton Kutcher’s infidelity, close friends have warned her that this latest scandal could be just the tip of the iceberg. Ashton’s alleged affair with 23-year-old student Sara Leal on the eve of their sixth wedding anniversary was the most public of his indiscretions, but Demi’s friends fear many more mistresses may be about to come out of the woodwork.

“Hollywood is full of girls who are claiming to have had sex with Ashton in the time he has been married to Demi,” claims one friend, who has known the 48-year-old actress for 11 years. “He could be worse than [golfer] Tiger Woods!” Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day, the friend adds, “The problem is that Demi still loves him and she will do anything to make it work.” Indeed, there are suggestions that Demi, insecure about their 15-year age gap, had previously agreed to an open relationship. “Given his age, she thought Ashton might still have some wild oats to sow,” a friend tells US magazine InTouch.

The only condition was that her husband be “discreet about it and didn’t embarrass her”. Clearly, their arrangement has backfired spectacularly. The couple was last week seen looking miserable as they arrived, still wearing their wedding rings, at the Kabbalah Centre in LA. They sat apart during a 40-minute Rosh Hashanah service, then met together with a rabbi for their first ession of marriage counselling.

Ashton, 33, had to confess his sins, and was advised to quit drinking and partying. He and Demi will now have private weekly therapy sessions at home, as well as attending Kabbalah services every weekend. According to a Kabbalah insider, the mystical Jewish religion teaches that infidelity does not spell the end of a marriage. The source says, “If a man strays for a brief fling, it does not mean that he doesn’t love her. He can have an affair yet still love and honour his wife.”

High heels, handbags and now bright red lipstick. Suri Cruise has added make-up to her fashion mix.

The five-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who just started school, is a free-spirit when it comes to fashion and clothes.

So much so, she has a designer wardrobe worth $3.2 million.

But that’s not all Suri is known for — from babychinos to shopping, take a look through these pictures of Suri Cruise’s weird and wacky life.

The 5-year-old celebutot stepped out with bright red lipstick recently.

Suri has a designer wardrobe and is hardly ever seen in the same thing twice.

She is known for her love of high heels and began wearing them at age three.

Too cute for a swim suit, Suri opts to swim in her sundress rather than a costume.

Suri is regularly spotted out shopping wtih mum Katie Holmes.

Earlier this year Suri was spotted with a dummy and always takes her blanket on trips.

And what’s her drink of choice? A babychino, of course.
