The aftermath It was a normal Saturday night in London’s hip Borough Market district – people flocking to bars and restaurants, watching football in the pub, relaxing with family and friends. ut the bustle turned to terror as three terrorists drove a rented white van into pedestrians strolling across London Bridge, then leapt out and began stabbing strangers in an orgy of violence. The rampage lasted just eight minutes before British police gunned the killers down. Eight innocent victims died, including vibrant young Australians Kirsty Boden and Sara Zelenak. KIRSTY BODEN, 28 Heroic nurse Kirsty died as she had lived – trying to save other people’s lives. Caught in the carnage and chaos, brave Kirsty did not flee from danger.

THE PRINCE’S VISIT TO OZ WAS MARRED BY SOME UNEXPECTED CONTROVERSY He travelled to the other side of the world to launch the Invictus Games last week. But as Prince Harry battled through the Sydney wind and rain to promote the cause he is so passionate about, scandal was brewing surrounding disgraced games ambassador Crissy Ashcroft. ‘Disgusted’ members of the Australian team had threatened to boycott the event if former The Voice contestant Crissy remained one of the faces of the games, following revelations that she embellished her war record. In the wake of the awful allegations, Crissy did not appear to show at an important meeting held by Harry at Admiralty House on Wednesday. Crissy’s absence would no doubt have left Harry devastated that the Invictus Games – an…

It’s been almost 20 years since they romped naked on screen in Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. And now, Tom Cruise has approached ex-wife Nicole Kidman about getting back together on the big screen to star in another saucy relationship-themed movie... and he has a very definite storyline in mind. According to Hollywood insiders, the Mission Impossible star wants the ‘French-style movie’ to be about an acrimoniously divorced couple who patch up their differences years later and fall in love all over again. ‘Nic was stunned when Tom reached out to her about working together again,’ discloses a pal of the actress. ‘And she was even more taken aback about what he had in mind... especially as he wants them to do love scenes.’ While the pair are hardly pals after…

I DON,T TRUST HER Q My son is 37 and in a relationship with a woman he met on the internet. He says they were friends first – she was in a bad marriage, and he helped her leave her husband and find a new place for herself and her young daughter. That was a year ago and now they’re together, my son seems so stressed all the time. I’m worried she’s taking advantage of him. Should I say something? Carmel, via email. A Your letter reminds me of my mum. Until the day she died (I was in my 50s!) she introduced me as her baby, and no man was good enough! Does this sound familiar? Your son is a big boy now, and they’ve been together a year.…

We’re at the swish beachside love shack in tiny Port Elliot, an hour south of Adelaide, where the former model has come to share her life with her ‘knight in shining armour’, Guy…

AT LAST, THE TRUTH ABOUT THE STARS’ RELATIONSHIP! 800 WORDS OF LOVE If you take one look at Andrew Ryan or Melina Vidler’s social media feeds, you’ll see the two actors are inseparable. But when New Idea presses Andrew about whether the pair are dating, he remains coy... ‘She’s one of my best friends in the whole world,’ the 30-year-old laughs, avoiding the question. ‘I love her very much. She’s one of my closest friends, we look out for each other.’ One thing the Sunshine Coast native did divulge was how he gave Melina her start in acting. ‘I gave Melina her very first role,’ he says, explaining it was with the NRL’s integrity unit involving theatre sports and improvisation ‘to provoke discussion around issues such as drugs and alcohol,…

Winding back the clock can be as simple as rethinking the way your hair, brows and make-up create definition for your face. ‘Depending on someone’s face and bone structure, we can use highlight, shade and colour to shape and define,’ says make-up artist Napoleon Perdis. Results can reduce, warm and create depth to frame your face. Create balance with brows ‘Brows are crucial for creating balance,’ says celeb eyebrow artist Sharon Lee Hamilton- Clarke. Framing depends on how your face moves. Do you raise one brow more than the other? Where do your hairline and eyes sit? • AVOID THIN, OVER-PLUCKED BROWS Use a magnifying mirror. Pluck three hairs, then look in a regular mirror before removing more. • LOOK AT YOUR SKINTONE Whether you tint your brows…

CRYPTIC CRITIC My grandmother always loved trying out the new recipes in magazines. We always knew when our MM granddad didn’t like the recipe, because he would say: ‘Well, I won’t mind if we don’t have this again for another 12 months!’ Angela Morrissey, Eaglehawk, Vic. BITTER FRUITS ‘Gosh, those sultanas are hard,’ my MM husband called out to me from the pantry as he grabbed a snack. Perhaps if he had bothered to put his glasses on he would have realised that he’d just picked up a packet of dry pasta instead! I only hope that he doesn’t try to make a fruitcake... Sandra James, Heathcote, Vic. THE BLACK SHEEP My uncle was called to sing at a family gathering. After much coaxing, he got up and said: ‘I’ll sing…

Aaaaaand relax It seems the key to a 21-year marriage is... meditation! ‘We meditate together,’ Hugh Jackman revealed of the secret to his successful marriage to Deborra-lee Furness. Really? We’d have thought mediation would be the key – it’s something we all need in the middle of a blazing row! Or perhaps medication? Wee-zy does it ‘No spills, no leaks, no worries!’ Rebecca Judd said, giving a glowing review of Huggies nappies. Nothing wrong with that, except Bec’s bladder leak was her own and she slapped on a nappy to prevent a damp seat in her car. We’re guessing she’s on her pee-plates...
