Maggie Gyllenhaal arrived in style this year in this peach gown. The lovely actress is known for taking a risk on the red carpet gowns, after last year’s…

Aussie star Simon Baker, who is quickly becoming a huge success in the US, was one of many Aussies on the Golden Globes red carpet. And just like last year…

Is Stephanie Rice’s career all washed up?

Now to Love

Has her new-found fame cost the Australian swimming sensation her promising career?

Swimming glamour girl Stephanie Rice’s hectic social life has left her battling to regain her fitness.

The triple gold medallist has spent so much time cementing her new celebrity status with public appearances and sexy photo shoots that her coach has declared her “unfit”.

Michael Bohl, who coached 20-year-old Stephanie to Olympic glory, told The Daily Telegraph, “[Steph] went from quite a fit person to being pretty unfit and she’s struggled, not motivation-wise, getting back into a routine.”

Since the Olympics, the Brisbane superstar has been swamped with sponsorship offers, and been invited to the hottest parties. She spent New Year’s Eve with Paris Hilton in Sydney, appeared as the face of the Spring Racing Carnival and has secured a $800,000 deal with Channel 7.

While Bohl denies there has been any conflict between Steph’s training requirements and her new celebrity life, he admits the demands have left her exhausted at times, telling Woman’s Day: “You can’t begrudge Stephanie earning a living from swimming, but it eats away at your time and can be really fatiguing.”

Heath Ledger’s dad tells: ‘It still feels like yesterday’

Now to Love

**By Jacqui Lang

As the anniversary of the star’s death approaches, Woman’s Day speaks to Heath Ledger’s father Kim.**

It’s hard to believe it has been a whole year since Heath Ledger’s untimely death made headlines across the world.

When news broke on January 22 last year that the 29-year old actor had died from an accidental overdose of sleeping medications, it seemed incomprehensible that such a bright young talent was no longer with us. Even sadder was the fact that Heath had left behind his daughter Matilda, then just two.

In an exclusive conversation with Woman’s Day, Heath’s dad Kim Ledger explains that although 12 months have passed, the pain of losing his beautiful boy is still raw.

“It feels like yesterday,” says Kim from his home in Perth.

Despite the passing of time, Hollywood continues to recognise Heath for his incredible performances. He has been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe for his performance as The Joker in the critically acclaimed movie The Dark Knight, and is tipped to become the first actor since Peter Finch in 1976 to receive a posthumous Oscar. But sadly, even this cannot bring comfort to loved ones left behind.

Megan and Andy steam up the beach

Now to Love

The couple enjoy their New Year holiday together with an affectionate display on a Sydney beach.

Loved-up couple Megan Gale and Andy Lee have been making the most of their time off work over the New Year period, hitting Sydney’s beaches and very publicly showing their affection.

Oblivious to the stares of fellow beachgoers, the pair could barely keep their hands off each other as they soaked up the sunshine and frolicked together in the ocean.

The happy couple kissed and clung to each other as they cooled off in the water, before cuddling up on the sand.

Flaunting her famous curves in a striped bikini, Megan’s choice of beachwear was obviously met with approval from Andy, who tenderly kissed his girlfriend’s toned and tanned stomach as they lazed on beach towels.

Despite their status as Australian A-listers, the pair opted to shun Sydney’s social scene during the party season, and instead rang in the New Year in a more low-key fashion.

My tongue used to be my tummy

Now to Love

**By Angela Wormald

Little cancer battler Daniel Sewell has got his health problem licked.**

As adorable Daniel Sewell stares up at his loving mother Allison and says “Mum”, her eyes cloud with emotion. Gently, she kisses the top of his blonde head. It’s a memorable moment in any mum’s life when her child utters their first word, but for Allison the gift has come after years of stress and trauma. The family once feared Daniel may not survive, let alone talk.

Now aged four, Daniel was given a “new” tongue during pioneering surgery for mouth cancer at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle in the UK more than three years ago.

Surgeons took out three-quarters of tiny Daniel’s tongue and replaced it with muscle from his abdominal lining. And now, with his cancer in remission for three years, Daniel is a happy school kid who couldn’t be chattier.

Daniel’s father Richard had spotted his son’s badly swollen tongue when he was 13 months old and his quick action saved the boy’s life — early detection of oral cancer means a survival chance of 90 per cent.

“I was just as ignorant as anyone about mouth cancer,” says mum Allison. “I always thought it was something the older generation suffered from and believed it was linked with smoking…”

Katie’s extreme Scientology diet

Now to Love

The star’s shocking appearance appears to be the result of a bizarre, Scientology-approved diet…

Katie Holmes’ health looks to be suffering under a bizarre Scientology-approved detoxification process that has led to her shedding around 10kg from her already thin figure.

Insiders say the wife of Tom Cruise now weighs only 52kg despite her tall 175cm frame, placing her Body Mass Index firmly in the underweight category.

Sources say the actress, who is still splitting her days between her Broadway performances and taking care of two-year-old daughter Suri, has been following a purification program, known as Clear Body, Clear Mind, which utilises a regime of exercise, saunas and vitamins and minerals to help cleanse the body.

“When Katie embarked on a new diet, Tom was insistent that it stick to the codes of Scientology,” explains an insider. “The purification program is all about ridding the body of harmful toxins and calls for cutting out refined sugar, junk foods and carcinogens that create toxicity.

“It’s very gruelling — long periods of fasting on nothing more than water and juice, and heavy doses of niacin, colonics and long heated saunas to purify the body.”

The program advocates five hours of saunas and exercise each day for the best results.

John Travolta’s tragic loss: I tried to save my son

Now to Love

The devastated actor reveals how he fought to resuscitate his son, amid cruel claims that Jett’s death could have been avoided.

A heartbroken John Travolta has told how he desperately tried to save his son Jett’s life.

The devastated star has talked about the terrifying moments after the 16-year-old boy collapsed from a seizure.

John frantically performed CPR for 20 minutes while waiting for paramedics to arrive at the family’s Bahamas holiday home, but was unable to save the child he adored.

As Hollywood rallied around the 54-year-old actor, his wife Kelly Preston, 46, and their daughter Ella, 8, John talked of his love for his firstborn child.

“I did everything I could to keep Jett alive,” John told his family lawyer, Michael McDermott. “There was a slight pulse, so we did all we could. I tried the kiss of life for about 20 minutes. I wouldn’t give up.”

The New York Daily News reports that John begged attending paramedics to save his son’s life, pleading, “Help me, help me! I’m losing him.”

Insiders say John had to be physically removed from Jett’s body so his son could be transported to Freeport’s Rand Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Food coach Q&A: Is rice bad?, diet coke vs fruit juice and the benefits of water

Now to Love

When any of these rice grains are eaten, the body rapidly converts them to glucose in the blood stream causing a burst of energy followed soon after by an energy slump.

It may fill you up, but before long you’ll feel hungry again, and therein lies the problem — after a rice meal we often want to eat something else soon after.

There are some rice grains that are better however. Basmati, wild rice and sushi rice also referred to as koshikari rice all have a lower GI.

Brown koshikari is particularly good. Available from health food stores, brown koshikari retains the nutrients from the outer husk and having a lower GI, keeps you feeling full for longer. It may take a bit of getting used to as unlike jasmine and other white rice, it’s quite dense and sticky.

Soft drinks and diet drinks have no nutritional value. Diet drinks may even have an adverse effect on the brain and nervous system.

For weight loss you do have to be careful with fresh juice and limit how much you drink and what it’s made of.

Fruit juices, the most popular choice due to their natural sweetness, have almost twice the energy (kilojoules) of fresh vegetable juice, and although it’s natural sugar (fructose) it still equates to energy, which, if you’re not burning it off will convert to fat.

When you consider the average weight loss diet restricts intake to 6,500 kj a day, much of that allowance is consumed in a large juice. The final thing to consider is how a juice stacks up against whole fruit. Nutritionally you get the same nutrients, without the fibre in the juice. But look how much more energy is in the juice. To make a standard 300ml glass you have to use a lot more produce which boosts the energy content up significantly.

The bottom line is while it’s great that you’ve cut out diet drinks, you should enjoy no more than one 300-350ml glass of juice in the morning, drink water and eat whole fresh fruit and veggies for the rest of the day instead.

It’s the most valuable commodity we have in life — both in and out of the body. By drinking sufficient amounts of water each day we maintain a strong immune system, sleep better, eliminate waste efficiently, and are less likely to overeat.

There’s no way out of this — for good health you have to drink water.

Water should have a pleasant nondescript taste so if yours is really unpleasant you might have a problem with poor condition pipes somewhere between the source to your tap.

A solution might be to buy a water filter to filter out any impurities, like rusted metal or chemicals, which may be attributing to the taste.

You could also try adding a few pieces of lemon or oranges and a sprig of mint to a jug of water — it will give it a citrusy twist which is very pleasant.
