A few years ago, my sisters and I decided we would no longer buy for each other and our partners at Christmas time (after all, there’s eight of us and that’s not including the kids and our parents). Instead, we now do a siblings Secret Santa and it’s so much easier. And when it comes to finding the perfect gift this year, I’ll be supporting local Aussie businesses like those featured on pages 34-37, and I hope you do too. Meanwhile, there’s been lots of chatter in the office this week about the new season of The Crown. Turns out the cast has been hiding some scandalous secrets of their own – read all about it on page 24. Happy reading! newidea@aremedia.com.au newidea.com.au @newideamagazine @newideamagazine…

Ash Barty may have hung up her racquet, but the Aussie tennis superstar hasn’t lost her passion for the game. After sensationally quitting earlier this year, Ash is set to make a big comeback at the Australian Open in January. “I was never going to run away, I promise. I was always going to be back,” she says. Ash has signed up as an ambassador for the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program. While she won’t be on centre court, some lucky fans will be able to have a fun hit with her. “I certainly will be enjoying it,” she says.…

Despite being one of the hottest men on-screen, the path to finding ‘the one’ hasn’t turned out to be as easy as his rom-com characters for Brad Pitt. So friends were delighted when the 58-year-old decided to open up his heart again and take another stab at romance. The Bullet Train star enjoyed a cosy date night with Ines de Ramon last week at a Bono concert in LA. Not only could Brad not keep his hands off the beautiful jewellery businesswoman, but he also couldn’t wait to show her off to his mates. Brad used the evening as an opportunity to see if his pals approved, introducing her to Sean Penn, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. By the look of the grin on Brad’s face as Ines happily chatted…

Royals For someone who was accused of being a bad father by Prince Harry, King Charles certainly dotes on his grandchildren – at least the ones he’s permitted to see. It’s understood he enjoys an “incredibly close” relationship with the Wales children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4. But sadly, the same can’t be said for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s kids, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1. New Idea is told that Charles “wasn’t able to FaceTime” with the US-based Sussex children on his 74th birthday last week, which “cast a shadow over celebrations”, according to our source. “He was spoilt rotten by the Wales children, who drew pictures, made cakes – the whole deal,” says a source. “But any suggestion of speaking to the…

Real life ‘He’d been thrown 17 metres in the air’ It was the scene from every parent’s worst nightmare when 8-year-old Rihaan Khurana was left lying in the middle of the road, his scooter crumpled beside him as the four-wheel drive that hit him suddenly screeched to a halt. Suddenly his father, Ashish, was running down the driveway, scooping his limp son up into his arms, terrified he’d been fatally injured. “I heard a loud bang from our driveway, and I thought Rihaan had just fallen off his scooter,” his brother Aarush, who was 12 at the time, tells New Idea. “Dad was yelling. He’d picked Rihaan up and was carrying him inside. He was bleeding badly from his head, legs and arms. Mum and Dad were both panicking. I’ve…

John may have played the most evil villain to ever grace daytime TV, but in reality, he was much loved. Tributes flowed in for the actor, who had a starring role on Days of Our Lives for over three decades, following his death at the age of 89. The soap’s official Twitter account posted: “Our hearts are broken over the loss of our beloved family member John Aniston.” Current cast member Kristian Alfonso, who plays Hope Brady, also paid her respects. “It was an honour knowing you and working with you,” the actress said. Series co-creator Ken Corday also released a statement, which read: “John was an icon, but even more so, he was a pillar of strength and unity for our Days of Our Lives community. “He, along with…

There was barely a dry eye when Christina Applegate rose to say a few words after receiving her much-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “This day means more to me than you could imagine,” Christina said in a heartfelt speech during the event. “I don’t say I have friends. I have family. These people take care of me every day of my life, and without them I don’t know what I would do.” Her former Married… With Children co-stars Katey Sagal and David Faustino were there to lend a hand, with her on-screen mum helping maintain her balance as Christina made her way around with the aid of a walking stick. “You bend but don’t break,” Katey said. “Your humility and irreverence allows all of us to bend…

AdviceDenise Drysdale LIFE’S MORE FUN WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A LAUGH I’ve always tried to help people. I worked with Samaritans – a helpline support service – when I lived in London in the late ’60s. I absolutely loved it. When I got back to Australia, I’d been away three years and I wanted to do the same thing here. I made some enquiries but in those days you virtually had to have a degree to volunteer for Lifeline. I thought, “If they won’t take me I’ll do it with my own friends and people I meet.” So that’s what I’ve tried to do. Last week I flew to Cairns to do an event. I got talking to a man on the plane who had just found out his 12-year-old…

Cheap ways to prepare a home for sale DECLUTTER STORAGE SPACES We all know the styling tricks about decluttering each room (especially putting away personal photos and trinkets), but it is not a good idea to hide them in closets or cupboards elsewhere in the home. Why? Buyers want to know that there is ample storage room for all their own stuff. Make it look like there’s lots of storage room. Invest in a storage space during the selling period and put everything there – keep only the bare essentials. According to Michelle May, principal of Michelle May Buyers Agents and host of the Buy Your Side podcast, potential buyers are thinking about where to store appliances like air fryers and rice cookers in the kitchen, to the ironing board,…

Advice Luxury stays in Byron Bay Byron Bay is blessed with it all. Its natural beauty includes expansive beaches and surf, where migrating whales sing, and a headland and lighthouse famous for being the easternmost tip of Australia. The town itself is bustling and laid-back at the same time, with enough shops, cafes and restaurants to appeal to all – even movie stars. However, if you’re staying at 28 Degrees luxury guesthouse, there’s every chance you won’t be in a hurry to see what else Byron has to offer – you’ll be too busy slowing down!

NEWS Three and a half years after their engagement, The Bachelor’s Matty J and Laura Byrne have finally tied the knot! The happy couple exchanged ‘I Dos’ during an intimate ceremony in front of their family and friends at Cupitt’s Estate winery on the New South Wales South Coast on November 11. Their adorable daughters, Marlie-Mae, 3, and Lola, 1, served as flower girls. Matty and Laura met during the 2017 season of the popular reality dating show.

NEWS Disturbing revelations have emerged from within Britney Spears’ family past. A fresh investigation into the death of Britney’s grandmother, Emma Jean Spears, has revealed the perpetrator may have been her own husband. When Emma Jean was shot in 1966, the official ruling was she had killed herself. However, it now appears that June Spears, her spouse (and Britney’s grandfather), may have been the one to pull the trigger. June would then go on to marry Jo Ann Blackwell, whose children claimed he had their mother locked up in a psychiatric hospital. Sound familiar? “Britney is reeling over this story coming out,” says a source. “She can’t trust her dad and now it turns out people think her grandfather might have been a monster, too. She is horrified…

It’s one of the biggest Hollywood hits of all time, but Titanic left Billy Zane grasping for a life boat. The 56-year-old actor says his life can be split into two parts – “before and after Titanic”. Filming of the blockbuster lasted two years and was the final nail in the coffin for Billy and ex-wife Lisa Collins, who split during filming. “Considering what he sacrificed for that role, it was tragic he was so overshadowed by Kate and Leo,” says a source. But his marriage was hardly the only thing which sank after his casting as the man who tried to keep Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rose and Jack apart. “Before Titanic, Billy was a huge heart-throb with a massive teen following, but playing the bad guy in…

Hollywood The key to solving the mystery of what really happened to Olivia Newton-John’s missing ex-boyfriend Patrick McDermott could be a never-before-seen love letter he sent to the singer. Patrick gave Olivia the note shortly before he went on an overnight fishing trip off the coast of LA on June 30, 2005 – and was never seen again. Since then the world has been questioning whether he was truly lost at sea or if he faked his own death to avoid crippling debts and the massive toll Hollywood had taken on him. A new Spotify podcast, Pseudocide, has sparked fresh interest in the unending speculation that he orchestrated his disappearance and was allegedly spotted in Mexico on multiple occasions in the months after he vanished. Patrick was just 48 when…

Local stars Larry Emdur is gearing up for a family wedding extravaganza after sharing the exciting news that his daughter Tia is engaged! The Morning Show host made the happy announcement in an Instagram post last week, revealing his 23-year-old daughter is set to wed her partner, Rowell Jauco. “All a father like me can hope and pray for is that one day his baby girl finds a partner who will love and adore, respect and admire, cherish and protect her the way he’s tried to,” Larry, 57, wrote in the caption. “Well, that partner has arrived and we feel very, very blessed.

Local stars It won’t be long now until Sam Frost and fiancé Jordie Hansen welcome their bundle of joy! The expectant parents looked carefree and relaxed as they hit the beach on the Sunshine Coast last week. In September, the former Home and Away actress announced that she and Jordie were expecting their first child, and shortly afterwards she revealed the baby’s gender – a boy. “I love him. I already love him so much, we’re so in love with him,” Sam said at the time. The couple has had a massive year in 2022, announcing their relationship, engagement, pregnancy, and also revealing they had moved to Noosa. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing, as Sam is recovering from a fall in the driveway of her home. “So last…

Crime INSIDE THE COURTROOM It’s been almost one year since the badly burnt remains of campers Carol Clay, 73, and Russell Hill, 74 were discovered by Victoria Police Missing Persons Squad on November 30, 2021. The discovery came just days after the apprehension of 55-year-old former pilot Gregory Lynn. The Melbourne man was arrested and charged in February with their murders. It can now be revealed that last week the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court heard a ballistics expert would play a crucial role in the alleged killer’s upcoming preliminary hearing, which is scheduled to run over four days in January. The elderly couple, holidaying in secret, were allegedly shot before their bodies were burnt and dumped in bush graves. It is the first time any information on…

ANDREW SHARES HIS TOP TIPS ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT REALTOR Before you ask how I learnt my tips and tricks for finding the right real estate agent, I was one for many, many years. Admittedly not for over a decade now, but I genuinely have been on both sides of the proverbial picket fence. In searching for an agent to sell what is most likely the biggest asset you’ll ever have, there are two elements to the process. Usually one is ruled by the head, the other by the heart. SOURCE POTENTIAL AGENTS First you’ll need to know who is actively selling real estate in your area over that last year or so, preferably in a similar price range and type to your home. Consider the following sources: • Keep…

Victoria Beckham’s joy at reuniting with estranged son Brooklyn at her Paris runway show in September might have been short lived. Friends say the 48-year-old is “very concerned” about her eldest son, following rumours his wife Nicola Peltz has dreams of becoming a Bond Girl in the next 007 movie, putting Brooklyn’s baby dreams on ice. “This has set off alarm bells for Victoria,” says a pal. “She gets ambition more than anyone so understands Nicola not wanting to put her career on hold, but while engaged, all they talked about was having kids, and Brooklyn was so excited.” The newlyweds have spoken openly about their dreams of having a big family, but lately Nicola seems to be getting cold feet. “He wants kids yesterday.

In sad news for fans of the dynamic duo, Jackie stepped away from the top-rating KIIS FM show last week to take care of her health after a bout of COVID earlier this year left her with ongoing health issues. “I’ve not been very well ever since,” Jackie said on air. “I’ve been struggling with this fatigue.” It was an announcement that, for once, seemed to take the air out of Kyle’s sails – which is no small feat! “I feel like I’ve been broken up with,” he says.

Hollywood ‘He doesn’t care for his big sister at all’ Announcing the death of her father, John last week, Jennifer Aniston’s grief was clearly palpable. The actress declared she would love her 89-year-old dad “until the end of time”, further describing him as “one of the most beautiful humans I ever knew”. Jen’s touching words showed the progress the pair had made in repairing their relationship after John walked out on her late mother Nancy Dow when she was just 10. It’s believed the star and her father spent most of their lives barely on speaking terms, until they reconciled at the start of the COVID pandemic. New Idea understands that Jen’s sadness may soon turn to anger, as insiders expect her to become embroiled in a fight for John’s…

MYSTERIOUS LOVE LIFE Elizabeth Debicki’s dating history is shrouded in mystery. “I’m really private,” she told The Guardian in 2016. Little was known about the willowy star’s private life, that is until playing Princess Diana propelled her into the spotlight. The 32-year-old actress made her red-carpet debut with love Kristian Rasmussen at The Crown’s London premiere, with her beau understandably looking a little startled by all the attention. Elizabeth has also dated Alexander England of Offspring and Howzat! Kerry Packer’s War. Alexander, 36, told News Limited in 2017 that Elizabeth – who at the time had scored a role in UK hit TV show The Night Manager – was the reason he felt emboldened to attempt breaking into Hollywood. “There are definitely elements of people I care about…

Crime INSIDE THE COURTROOM Tears flowed in the NSW Supreme Court as Shanelle Dawson bravely shared her victim impact statement following the death of her mother at the hands of her father, Christopher Dawson. “There are not enough words in the English language to describe the impact of 41 years of deceit, trauma, silence and gaslighting,” Shanelle, 45, said as she locked eyes with her dad across the room. Wearing a green prison jumpsuit and flanked by two sheriff officers, her father, who was found guilty of the murder of his wife Lynette in August, kept his head bowed for most of the reading. “Because of your selfish actions, we will never see her again, we will never hear her tell us she loves us. ‘You had no right, you…

Real life For the little bookworms Raising her three children on a remote South Australian farm 50 kilometres from the nearest town, Anna Nunn knows exactly how tough it can be to find what you need, when you need it.
