I’ve been married 46 times!

Now to Love

Can she and Mark renew their vows a record breaking 100 times? Clare Rigden reports.

Denise Duffield-Thomas had dreamed of walking down the aisle and saying “I do” to her Prince Charming, but she never imagined she’d do it again and again, in some of the world’s most exotic places.

Denise, originally from the NSW Central Coast, and her husband Mark, from the UK, beat 30,000 other entrants to win a job as “honeymoon testers” for an Irish wedding website. Since May, they have been halfway around the world and renewed their vows an amazing 46 times – putting them on track for a Guinness World Record.

“In the final interview, they asked if we had any fun ideas for things we could do on our trip testing honeymoon destinations,” says Denise, 30. “I had this idea it would be fun if we renewed our vows in every country, and they ran with it.”

The couple were sure they could land a world record for the most wedding vow renewals … but then discovered they’d have to say “I do” 100 times to overtake Tennessee couple Lauren and David Blair’s tally.

“I was like, ‘What on Earth have we let ourselves in for?’,” says Denise. The couple wed for the first time in August last year in the UK. They then travelled to Australia, where Denise put her dress on for the second time in front of family and friends. But little did she know she’d be doing this over and over again in the year to come!

Julia Roberts: How I look this good at 42!

Now to Love

At 42, the mum of three proudly shows off a hot bikini body as she holidays in Hawaii.

Julia Roberts had to eat her way through Italy, India and Bali for her role in the movie Eat Pray Love, but as the 42-year-old mum proved last week, she still looks pretty good in a bikini.

Julia was happy show off her toned body while holidaying on the island of Oahu last week with husband Danny Moder, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 5, and three-year-old Henry, even though she says she piled on the weight while filming the movie.

“I put on about seven pounds in Rome when we were shooting,” Julia says. “I could have used a bigger pair of jeans when we went off to India.”

Not that you can tell now, of course. While this year marks the 20th anniversary of Pretty Woman – the movie that made Julia a star – the actress admits she still looks pretty much the same now as she did then.

“I guess that is my staying power, my fighting weight,” she says. “It’s a strange thing that happens. People get widely famous and then get incredibly slim. I don’t know. It never happened to me, no matter how hard I tried.”

Fevola love feud

Now to Love

The footballer realises it’s finally over as his ex, Alex Fevola, and her hunky DWTS partner waltz out of the studio and on into the night.

The Dancing With The Stars finale party was still raging at Melbourne’s trendy Riva bar when, in the early hours of the morning, two of the show’s star attractions quietly slipped out together.

Sharing a cab, Alex Fevola and her handsome on-screen dancing partner, Arsen Kishishian, headed to Seasons Botanic Gardens hotel and approached the check-in counter with, as one guest noted, “their arms wrapped around each other affectionately”.

“They looked like a young couple in love,” the onlooker says of the pair, whose relationship has been whispered about since they were matched for the TV contest three months ago.

“They were very tactile, throwing their arms around one another and cuddling,” he adds of Alex and her ballroom champion partner Arsen. After hearing of their hotel tryst, a crew member questioned what was going on between the photogenic twosome, who are both Melbourne residents.

“Both Arsen and Alex live there, so I’m not sure why they would be checking into a hotel in the same city,” he explains.

Demi Moore off the wagon

Now to Love

The once famously sober star shows a very different side as she parties hard … again.

As her husband Ashton Kutcher looks on, Demi Moore bumps and grinds with rapper Snoop Dogg during a boozy night out in Las Vegas. Coming just two weeks after she was seen dancing in the street after a drunken house party – beer in one hand and the breast of a female friend in the other – it seems Demi is out to prove she’s not too old to party.

The 47-year-old actress’s antics are a far cry from the clean living she tweeted about just weeks ago, and a world away from the sober lifestyle she took up in the 1980s.

Once a member of the infamous Brat Pack, Demi was almost fired from her breakthrough role in St Elmo’s Fire due to her taste for cocaine and alcohol. Eventually she walked away from the Hollywood party scene, moving to Hailey, Idaho, with her then-husband Bruce Willis and remaining sober for years as she raised daughters Rumer, now 22, Scout, 19, and Tallulah, 16.

In 2003, three years after her marriage to Bruce ended, Demi moved back to Hollywood. Soon after, she hooked up with actor Ashton Kutcher, 15 years her junior, and they married in 2005.

Some insiders are wondering if it’s this age difference between Demi and Ashton that is behind her falling off the wagon. Last year, Star magazine reported that the couple argued regularly over Ashton going out drinking.

Jamie Durie: Meet my gorgeous daughter!

Now to Love

At home with his teenage daughter the star reveals to Lucy Chesterton that he wants more kids!

Teenager Taylor Durie has a distinct American twang as she talks about her favourite Hollywood hangouts. But standing next to her famous dad, Jamie Durie, Taylor’s down-to-earth Aussie roots still shine through.

Although she lives across the street from comedy star Jack Black, and her garden guru father spends his afternoons pottering around the yard of Hollywood superstar Charlize Theron, there’s no doubt the 15-year-old has her feet planted firmly on the ground.

“We enjoy a simple life,” Jamie says proudly, putting an arm around his daughter, who is being interviewed for the first time for an exclusive Woman’s Day shoot in Los Angeles. “We go camping together, surfing and bike riding. I take her up into the Hollywood Hills on my motorbike and there’s a secret track up there where you can ride right up behind the Hollywood sign.”

In fact, Australian-born Taylor gives LA’s celebrity hang-outs a wide berth; for her, it’s a good novel that holds appeal. Her top spot is Book Soup, an independent bookseller a block from The Viper Room nightclub (where River Phoenix died).

“I have so many books I love to read!” she says before listing favourites such as East of Eden, by John Steinbeck. And as dad and daughter pose on Jamie’s impressive motorbike for our shoot, she reveals another side to her knockabout dad.

Blanche’s bizarre secret life

Now to Love

On any day you might find Blanche d’Alpuget, glamorous wife of former PM Bob Hawke, barking like a dog to get closer to God.

She is never one to shy away from controversy but Blanche d’Alpuget is uncharacteristically quiet when asked about a strange movement where she and other members can bark like dogs to connect with God.

Blanche has become a devotee of Subud, a quasi-religious group out of Indonesia described as a “cult” by its detractors. Twice a week, the writer wife of former PM Bob Hawke visits an unassuming hall in Sydney’s inner-city Newtown to devote herself to the principles of “latihan”, an Indonesian term for spiritual exercise.

Blanche and other members undergo a “cleansing” ritual that supposedly gives them contact with God. The practice takes the form of “an emotional release” which may see members scream, cry, punch the air and speak in tongues.

One member describes some fellow followers barking like dogs, running with only one eye open or jumping over fellow participants, whose actions could range from singing opera to laughing uncontrollably.

“I have a very strong feeling of the Christ,” Blanche told the ABC in an interview about her spirituality. “My practice is with particularly a lot of Muslims and also Jews and Hindus and Buddhists. Every time I go to practice it’s different.”

Noelene Hogan: Leave Paul alone!

Now to Love

Paul’s ex and his wife Linda put aside their differences to support him, reports Louise Jones.

The two women at the centre of Australia’s ugliest showbiz divorce have gone into battle again – but this time it’s for the same team.

Bitter love rivals Noelene Hogan and Linda Kozlowski have called a truce after 20 years, with both publicly supporting the man they have loved, Paul Hogan. The actor who played Mick “Crocodile” Dundee is a prisoner in his home country, banned from leaving by the tax office due to an alleged unpaid tax bill of over $100 million.

Now Hoges’ ex-wife, Noelene, and the woman he left her for, his American Crocodile Dundee co-star Linda, have put aside their long-standing differences to support the 70-year-old larrikin, who is facing time in jail.

While Linda, 52, and the couple’s son Chance, 12, are preparing for a mercy dash to Australia, Noelene has come out swinging for her former husband, telling friends Hoges has more than repaid his debt to this country.

“Just leave him alone, he put Australia on the map,” Noelene says. “I hope he’s OK. As an Aussie I’m very proud of him.”

Rachael’s Fury at Bert and Patti

Now to Love

It appears heartbroken Australian actress Rachael Taylor may have forgiven her one-time great love Matthew Newton for his violent attack on her in Rome – but it’s unlikely she will ever forgive Bert and Patti for telling the world about his psychological problems.

The distressed actress has told friends she was astounded that Bert and Patti went on national television to tell the world about Matthew’s history of mental instability – without his knowledge or permission.

“She feels Matthew’s very public family life – from birth and not of his choosing – is the key to his anger issues,” one of Rachael’s closest friends told Woman’s Day in an exclusive interview.

Get Jesinta’s Miss Universe look

Now to Love

To recreate Jesinta’s fresh make-up look use a combination of soft earthy tones of charcoal and warm browns on the eyes and peachy pink blush and lip-gloss.

Here’s how…

Smooth on a veil of liquid foundation with a damp sponge and work outwards.
Use a wash of beige eyeshadow all over the eye area, then brush on a taupe brown along the socket line and blend upwards and out. Define eyes by drawing a line very close to top lashes with a dark charcoal kohl pencil. Finish with two coats of mascara.
Smile and using circular movement apply a coral blush to the apples of the cheeks and blend upwards.
Finish with a peachy pink lip-gloss.
