The shrink told me I was completely sane and that it sounded like my co-worker’s prefrontal cortex (part of the brain responsible for personality and social behaviour) had stopped developing at an early age.

rebuild ourtowns • AU S S I E S L E ND I N G A H A N D•

The practical things you can do to help rebuild Australia, one town at a time There’s not a single Australian who hasn’t had their hearts broken by the horrific bushfires that have swept through our country. The road to rebuild will be long but as a nation we will: brick by brick, fence by fence. Bauer Media launched this campaign to help our neighbours in their time of need. Each week we will shine a spotlight on a town telling our generous readers how they can help, from the best fundraisers to donate to that specifically benefit the locals, to products they can buy from that town or region that support small businesses there. We’ll highlight the farmers who need fencing supplies, the schools which are short of books and pencils, the yoga school that needs mats or how to plan a getaway to the region when the time is right to bolster their local tourism industry. The Rebuild Our Towns campaign is centred on the fact that practical help doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Our love and thoughts go out to every person, but actions speak louder than words, so join us to make a difference and help our heartland heal.

Yep, this year’s participants were forced into an emergency lockdown for 24 hours after their behaviour got too out of hand amid Vanessa’s shock panic attack. “We all got in trouble for drinking,” reveals one contestant, who asked to remain anonymous. “One day, production told re us that our curfew was now 7pm and we all got lo ocked in our rooms for 24 hours.” The insider adds, “It was like we were being held hostage.

While Amanda wasn’t Tash’s cup of tea, plenty of fans think she’s smokin’ hot!

“I legitimately think she was seeing that girl. I feel like she was only in it for fame.” An insider adds that Tash seemed to be “completely checked out” from the start. “She was always on her phone and sneaking off to places during filming.” So what else does Amanda have to get off her chest?

the Girl Gang, and Tash was feeding them lies and playing the victim. Sounds very high school... I do know that Tash doesn’t have a lot of friends. Her whole wedding was a small table of family and the rest were work colleagues. She changes her friends wherever she works because she burns so many bridges. She’s a classic narcissist. Did the Girl Gang make the dinner parties quite hard to sit through? I felt very uncomfortable at them because I couldn’t trust Tash and never felt supported by her. I didn’t feel like speaking up half the time because I didn’t feel like she’d back me up. The whole experience was awful. We weren’t intimate at all. We didn’t even hold hands. To be honest, we weren’t even friends! Did you feel like anyone was on your side? What about the other girls? Mishel and Connie were sitting on the fence. Cathy was more on my side because I think she is down to earth. She’s not stupid and not easily led by people. She could see through her bulls**t. I don’t know what version the other girls heard, but I felt like they weren’t getting the full story. So obviously things didn’t work out with you and Tash.

Natasha Spencer is a selfconfessed “alpha woman� who isn’t afraid to speak her mind – and she’s made it crystal clear that she loves the skin she’s in. But the confident financial analyst, 26, was taken off guard after an inappropriate conversation took place with a drunken Michael Goonan, 29, at the Luxury Sky Suites in Sydney. “He came into my room and started talking trash to me,� she tells NW. “He said, ‘You’re just as hot as Stacey, but you portray yourself too much like a slut.’� Um, excuse us, mate?! The rivalry between the pair began at last week’s dinner party after Michael told Nat’s hubby Mikey Pembroke, 29, that she’d been informing everyone that he was a lacklustre lover. “She told me you only lasted 10 seconds in the bedroom and that you got a cramp,� Michael said. Clearly causing friction between the couple, Natasha didn’t hold back giving Michael a piece of her mind. “If I had an issue with my lover, I would bring that up with him! It was a joke.

Last year, Eva Longoria scooped up the TV rights to the bestselling book Maybe You Should Talk To Someone by therapist-turned-author Lori Gottlieb. “I wanted people to know they aren’t alone, and hopefully that will make them less afraid to go and talk to somebody,” says Lori of her buzzworthy tome. Outspoken Eva rarely seems to shy away from what’s really on her mind, once revealing she likes to be tied up during sex! “There’s something very sexy about being submissive,” she tells. “Your guard is down and you have to totally surrender.”

Over the years, Keith Richards has revealed some pretty insane details about his life and career. The Rolling Stones guitarist has been forthcoming about his multiple trips to rehab, which saw him finally kick his dangerous heroin addiction in the late ’70s. During his stints he was subjected to various types of therapies. “He likely went through group therapy and all kinds of different things,” says Darby. By far the strangest thing he’s ever confessed is that he snorted his late father’s remains. “I opened my dad’s ashes and some of them bl blew out over the table,” he recalls. “I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little l bit of blow.

The star’s new figure has her hubby drooling!

t’s been over six months since Blake Lively gave birth to her third daughter and this time around, she’s in no rush to lose the preggo pounds. And our insiders tell us it’s because her hunky husband Ryan Reynolds just can’t keep his eyes – or hands! – off her newfound curves. Onlookers at the NYC premiere of Blake’s movie The Rhythm Section say she was “spilling out” of her tight black ballgown – and Ryan, 43, “was practically drooling”. Well, who can blame him?! It’s a marked change from when the star, 32, gave birth to daughters James, five, and Inez, three, and snapped back into shape almost immediately both times. “Sure, she found the headlines about her hot body totally validating after the first two – who

wouldn’t?” says a source. “But a huge part of her feels she missed out on James and Inez’s baby moments while she was focused on her figure. She decided not to spend the best years of her new baby’s life in the gym this time. She’s found relaxing and eating carbs rather than fitting into a bikini within months very liberating – and is enjoying having cleavage!”

JUST AFTER BUB NO. 1 She bounced back in record time to film The Shallows

Blake’s also telling friends that her sex life with Ryan is better than ever. “Ryan loved her sculpted pre-baby body, but he’s finding the new version of his wife even better,” says the source. “He’s forever

A LIE!


Can the couple survive their seven-year itch?

J

ustin Timberlake has been playing the part of the dutiful husband perfectly. On Valentine’s Day, the singer posted a gushing tribute to his wife Jessica Biel, captioning a throwback snap of the pair, “When you know, you know. I love you, my funny Valentine.� And publicly the couple have been presenting a united front, with Justin even supporting Jessica, 37, at the premiere of The Sinner season three earlier this month. But behind the scenes, their seven-year marriage has been put to the test like never before. In November, a boozedup Justin, 39, was caught holding hands with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright at a New Orleans bar. He quickly

issued a public apology to Jessica, insisting “nothing happened� with Alisha, vowing to do better as a husband and a father to their son Silas, four. Now Justin and Jessica are in couples counselling – and though they’re determined to save their marriage, one insider says the pair may be past the point of no return.

Private pain

they’ll last.� The two have also been talking to their lawyers about the possibility of splitting up, says the insider. “They had a meeting about what things would look like for Jessica with all of their assets if they divorced. Of course, Jess would be taken care of for life.�

Child stars GONE WILD

Pals say Macaulay is a relapse waiting to happen

Macaulay

BACK AT ROCK BOTTOM Macaulay Culkin has sparked new fears he’s about to spiral into a drug and booze-fuelled relapse after making light of his struggles with addiction! The Home Alone star’s raised eyebrows by dismissing his long-time battle with heroin and alcohol recently. “I’ve been accused of having a drug problem, but nothing could be further from the truth,” the

39 39-year-old jokes. “Drugs are the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life!” Besides “the occasional muscle relaxer”, Mac says he doesn’t abuse substances anymore, but admits he still “loves them”. “They’re like old friends,” shares the actor, who reportedly once spent a whopping $8,900 a month on dope and oxycodone. Yikes!

AMANDA’S ENGAGED! ‘IT WILL END IN DISASTER’

There’s buzz that Amanda might be pregnant too!

Ho Hot ot on the heels of debuting her face tattoo, Amanda Bynes has announced she’s getting married to a man she met at Alcoholics Anonymous! Yep, the 33-year-old child star revealed on Valentine’s Day that she’s engaged to Paul Michael, who she met just over two months ago. The circumstances of their meeting don’t bode well for Amanda, who has history of substance abuse and ah meental health issues, and is still under her parents’ guardianship. She’s rushing headfirst into this,” “S explains an insider. “It’s almost certain to end in disaster.” NWonline.com.au 31

r e p o h t o o sm OLIVIA WILDE & JASON SUDEIKIS The recipe for catching the attention of a gorgeous gal who’s out with another dude? A dash of improv skills, plus a healthy dose of confidence. When funnyman Jason spotted Olivia, who was searching for her date at a 2011 Saturday Night Live afterparty, he said, “Whatever you’re looking for, you don’t need it.” Looks like the Booksmart director – who accepted Jason’s proposal and is mum to his two kids – didn’t need it after all!

JOHN KRASINSKI & EMILY BLUNT When the married actors and parents of two met in 2008, John “wasn’t looking for a relationship”, he admits. Meanwhile, Em says she “was enjoying being single”. So maybe chalk up their instant connection to the Office star’s admittedly awkward approach? “As I shook her hand, I went, ‘I like you!’” he recalls. “So if anyone is looking to pick up a girl, that’s the way to do it.” Well, maybe it helps to be the star of a hit TV show...

JENNIFER LOPEZ & ALEX RODRIGUEZ After meeting a few times, the baseball star wooed the triple threat with dinner – but he wasn’t sure the 2017 evening had romantic potential until J.Lo revealed she was single. During a trip to the bathroom, A-Rod swung big with a text to his date, “You look sexy AF.” Obviously, she bit – and said yes when he proposed last March.

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES & MICHAEL DOUGLAS Back in 1998, long before Insta-flirting (or even Facebook-poking), ladies’ man Michael hit on Catherine with one of the oldest lines in the book. “I’m going to be the father of your children,” he told her. Though he later joked that the opener was “a little presumptuous”, he wasn’t wrong – two kids later, the pair have been together forever in Hollywood years.

CHRISSY TEIGEN & JOHN LEGEND In 2006, Chrissy met her future husband on the set of his Stereo music video, joined him in his hotel room that night and the rest – including a 2013 wedding and two precious kiddos – is history. But what was the opener that sparked it all? Chrissy recalls walking into John’s on-set dressing room to find him ironing in his underwear. “I said, ‘You do your own ironing?’ He said, ‘Of course I do.’” Now that’s a line only an A-lister would find so amusing!

WELLS ADAMS & SARAH HYLAND Doing things the new-fashioned way! The Modern Family star and the Bachelorette hunk, who got engaged in July, started out as mutual fans flirting through their DMs. After exchanging a few Twitter messages, Wells locked it down with an offer Sarah couldn’t refuse: “Next time I’m in LA, I’m taking you out for drinks and tacos.” Who could say no to that?

BRITNEY SPEARS & SAM ASGHARI Sam – a model and personal trainer who starred in Brit’s 2016 Slumber Party music video – tried his hand at wooing the pop princess with a classic neg: “She said, ‘Hi, I’m Britney,’ and I said, ‘What’s your name again?’” Though the line was met with crickets – “I tried to be funny, but I don’t think anybody got it,” Sam admits – Brit did call him after finding his number in her bag. “I was like, ‘He’s really cute. This guy is really cute,’” she tells. How, er, cute! NWoonline.com.au 33

Winnie Harlow We’re all about the Fifty Shades of Beige this season – and Winnie absolutely nails the trend in her corset and tan thigh-high leather chaps combo by Burberry. Ride it, cowgirl!

Ellie Goulding Hey, Ellie – you need to let this ensemble by Mihano Momosa burn, burn, burn ASAP! Although that fabric looks highly flammable, so be careful, babe!

Lizzo This Hershey’s Kisses wrapper gown was a snaccident waiting to happen. We know the Truth Hurts, Lizzo – so it pains us to tell you this Moschino dress ain’t our fave flavour!


BROUGH TO YOU B T Y

Billie Eilish We still can’t understand how someone could make Burberry look soooo cheap, but the singer’s layers and PVC bonnet aren’t exactly what we’d call a Lovely look.

Kendall Jenner She could wear a paper bag and still manage to look good, so it’s no surprise that this vintage Jean Paul Gaultier dress has Kenny looking as beautiful as a butterfly!

We’re not accustomed to seeing the Spice Girl in anything other than her Adidas trackpants. This simple black FILA gown has us wondering whether Sporty may be the new Posh!

SHEER DELIGHT

Guys, put down the trowel. It’s time to embrace sheer formulas that are seriously a cinch to apply and leave a gelato-like glistening tint on the skin. Plus it’s hot at the moment, and with these, there’s no risk of make-up literally sliding off your face! Press them across your lips, then use any excess to colour your cheeks and even up to your eyes (á la Kate Bosworth) for an easy beach-to-bar look. Liquid skin tints sound a bit scary, but are best applied and blended with the fingers, working quickly to soften edges. If you’re a lazy gal (we all have our moments), a balmy colour that keeps lips smooth and shiny without requiring constant surveillance is your new bestie – especially those w with added SPF. No creased lips here!

LIGHTEN UP

Find a foundation that is fluid and lightweight, so your skin won’t suffocate in the heat. It’s best to apply it with your fingertips or a damp sponge, creating an even thinner layer that looks fresh and feels barely-there – which, according to Sydney-based makee-up artist Rani Shortland, is “so the look right now”. The lighter BB creams are a no-brainer for beach days, as they combine loads of skincare benefits like hydrators, anti-agers and a a side of SPF. Fresh bro onzing formulas work well forr a quick fix too – apply sparingly with your fingers post-moisturiser but pre-base. Pass the frosé!

Another secret weapon in the fight against make-up migration? A setting spray. The latest include ones that refresh and set, with added benefits like 24-hour wear, temperature control, hydrators and antioxidants to protect and illuminate the skin. Simply mist lightly over your finished face for make-up that looks fresh long after you leave home. 18. Fix It Forget It Setting Mist $53 Lancôme mecca.com.au 19.

WORK ANYT ANYW STANDING TWISTS

Take a cue from the Aussie fitness queen with these exercise moves and easy recipes

P

ersonal trainer, designer and entrepreneur, Ashy Bines is a one-woman empire! The fitspirational star has found the perfect balance between work, life and exercise #goals, and that’s all the more impressive given she’s also a mum to four-year-old Taj, her son with hubby Steven Evans. By her own admission, Ashy says a little bit of planning goes a long way. “Training is always a priority for me, so it’s all about scheduling it all in!” she says. “My husband, Steve, also likes to stay active, so we make sure we both have the time, space and freedom to be able to train, as we know how much of a snowball

effect it has on our positivity, energy and happiness.” All you need is a chair and some floor space to try this workout from Ashy. Too easy!

CHAIR DIPS 45 seconds on / 20 seconds off x 3 reps 1. Place hands onto the chair and feet in front of you. 2. Lower down into a dip position and back up again.

TIP Keep your chest high and the elbows close together.

KICK-THROUGHS 45 seconds on / 20 seconds off x 3 reps 1. Swing leg back and forward while balancing on the other leg. 2. Focus on activating core and squeezing glutes.

1 minute on / 20 seconds rest x 3 reps 1. Twisting side to side whilst jumping at the same time. 2. Focus on engaging the core like you do in a Russian twist.

Chia & buckwheat pots Serves: 4 Prep + cook: 90 mins (+ cooling, standing and refrigeration) You will need to start this recipe a day ahead. Ingredients • ¾ cup buckwheat • ¼ cup raw cashews • ¼ cup sunflower seeds • ¼ cup pepitas • ⅓ cup apple juice • ¼ cup dried goji berries • 400ml can coconut cream • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1 tbsp honey • ¼ cup white chia seeds • 250g strawberries, sliced • 60g blueberries Method 1.

Line an oven tray with baking paper. 3. Spread buckwheat mixture on tray. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 25 mins or until golden and dry. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, stir in goji berries. Cool completely. 4. Meanwhile, combine coconut cream, vanilla extract, honey and chia seeds in a medium bowl. Cover, refrigerate for 1 hour or until it forms a soft gel. 5. Spoon granola mixture into base of serving glasses. Top with chia mixture, then strawberries and blueberries.

Raspberry sago with coconut yoghurt Serves 4 Prep + cook: 30 mins (+ standing and cooling) Ingredients • 1 litre water • 1 cup pearl sago or seed tapioca • 200g frozen raspberries, thawed, crushed coarsely • 200g coconut yoghurt • 2 tbsp chopped pistachio s • 100g raspberries, extra Method 1. Bring the water to the boil in a medium saucepan. Add sago, cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins or until sago is soft and translucent. 2. Transfer sago to a heatproof bowl, stir in raspberries. Cool completely. 3. Spoon sago into four serving glasses or jars, top with coconut yoghurt, pistachios and extra raspberries. TIP This recipe has no sugar added, as often coconut yoghurt is sweetened. Taste it and see how much sweetness the raspberries add – sometimes these can be a little sour. Use pure maple syrup to sweeten, if needed.

do you like your eggs – fried, scrambled or with veg? CAMERON DIAZ The new mother prefers to cook by instinct rather than follow recipes. She makes the most of leftovers by sautéing vegies with garlic, adding protein, carbs and chicken stock, and finishing with either a fried or scrambled egg on top.

Ada Nicodemou

KIM KARDASHIAN In a nod to her Armenian heritage, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star likes to eat her eggs scrambled with lavash bread. “This was my dad’s jam,” she reveals, referring to her late father Robert Kardashian. MARTHA STEWART She’s the queen of the kitchen and now possibly the queen of kitchen hacks. M Martha’s unorthodox shortcut uses a coffee machine to scramble eggs. Yes, you read that right. She combines eggs, butter, salt and pepper in a jug, then uses the steam wand function to fluff them up. NWonline.com.au 57

DO FIJI

Matty and then pregnant Laura enjoyed a serious case of the blues!

Category Lifestyle Director Kristie Lau-Adams models her beach escape on the lifestyles of the rich and the famous

Y

ou’ll arguably enjoy the holiday of a lifetime no matter where you decide to stay in beautiful Fiji. But according to A-listers in the know, booking a beachside villa in the recently unveiled Six Senses Fiji – a wellness resort located on Malolo Island, which is a 40-minute boat ride from Nadi’s Port Denarau – is the place to be. 60 NWonline.com.au

From the preggo-friendly paddle-boarding conditions (which Matty J and fiancée Laura Byrne took advantage of before the arrival of little Marlie-Mae) to the glam poolside catch-up that Jackie O and Roxy Jacenko shared a short while ago, this place offers the ultimate backdrop for Instagram gold. But I soon discovered there’s so much more to the resort than the beautiful waters...

ONE OF A KIN

Promising a “reconnection with yourself and those around you”, the property is what you’d expect from the South Pacific – all white sand and waving coconut trees. As stunning as the cluster of 24 pool villas and scatter of multi-bedroom residences first appear, this slice of heaven reveals its true charms the deeper you dig. (And before I go any further, I have to tell you I sprung tears the day I left – blame it on my own pregnancy hormones, but I’m telling you, this place is special.) There’s the guest experience manager (affectionately labelled the GEM) you’re allocated at check-in – which, by the way, takes place inside your villa to allow you immediate time to unwind.

It wouldn’t be a trip to Fiji without being reminded of the locals’ deep connection to their land. I feel it on various occasions, as the resort makes quite the effort to shine a light on the country’s unique traditions. An evening lovo, which is food cooked using hot stones under the ground like New Zealand’s traditional hangi, is best experienced in the hours prior to eating, when raw ingredients are lowered into the earth. I’m amazed at how meticulous each of the three men preparing the feast is. It feels like anything but a touristy stunt as the staffers slip me a polite smile before refocusing on critiquing one another and shovelling just the right amount of soil over

the top of the haul to get it right. Sweet potato, coconuts filled with spinach and coconut milk, pumpkin, and an assortment of fish and meats glisten when uncovered two hours later. After dinner service begins, the goodies are presented with pride as the staff sing and dance, and a few take a seat on the ground to blend kava. I feel as though I’ve been invited into this family’s home – a privilege that stays with me long after I leave.

LIVING OFF THE LAND Then there are the various wellness screenings which span detoxification of the mind, yogic cleansing and weight loss – plus the generous attention to your sleeping! Think handmade mattresses stitched from optimised airflow material (it’s called coir fibre and derives from the husk of a coconut), temperatureregulating pillows, anti-bug doonas and energy-boosting sleep programs. My favourite detail, though? The evening’s turn-down service sees a jug of water and glass placed on your bedside table. I’ve never experienced such considered hotel hospitality in my life.

Amid all of its spoils – private plunge pools, outdoor bathtubs, extensive in-room movie menus, complimentary snorkelling equipment and paddle boards, the list goes on – Six Senses is

an eco resort at its heart. As home to 17 endangered crested iguanas, 12 giant reef-bound clams and solarpowered accommodation, the luxury hotel is socially responsible. My favourite attraction, Cluckingham Palace – which farms goats, bees and chickens that stomp around adorable facilities like the Dust Day Spa – is such a treat. Throw in an enormous fruit-and-vegie patch, drinking water made on site and worm-septic tanks to manage waste, and you’ve got one of the world’s most extraordinary five-star stays. Rejuvenated and relaxed? Within minutes. Feeling like royalty? Like never before! NWonline.com.au 61

YOUR Stars The week ahead with Adele Lang

Kristin Davis February 24, 1965 Kristin should take care mixing her social and financial world – even if it is her birthday! Just think, babes, what would Charlotte do?

Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20

Aries MAR 21 – APRIL 20

Taurus APRIL 21 – MAY 21

While your money planet Mars believes social networking could improve finances, you’ll need to tread carefully. Mixing business with pleasure can be quite tricky at the best of times. And right now? Well, you’ll definitely have to set some boundaries!

Avoid making any major domestic decisions until you’ve had time to weigh up the pros and cons. According to your chart, loved ones requiring answers are still willing to wait. Indeed, they’d rather be patient if it means you’ll do the right thing!

Lust alone won’t keep a romantic relationship afloat any longer. This week, your love planet Pluto signals a huge sea change in what you want from a partner. Unless he or she quickly exposes hidden depths, you won’t be left very impressed.

Gemini MAY 22 – JUNE 21

Cancer JUNE 22 – JULY 23

Leo JULY 24 – AUG 23

Living your best life doesn’t just involve spending more time with family and friends. Astro trends indicate that it’s time to leave your home turf and start looking further afield. Meeting new people in unfamiliar places should nourish you!

Solar influences suggest excellent financial outcomes for Crab girls who trust their gut instincts over the next seven days. In other words, don’t overthink any offer that’s made. If it feels right, then go for it. If you smell a rat, then just say no!

It’s not too late to salvage a previously close friendship. However, this stargazer wants you to first think long and hard about the wisdom of getting in touch with a pal once again. After all, people rarely ever change... and, yes, that includes you too!

Virgo AUG 24 – SEPT 23

Libra SEPT 24 – OCT 23

Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22

Mercury’s retrograde continues to mess with your romantic affairs. Rather than give up on love completely, consider taking a temporary break in forthcoming days. Some quality time out from tantrums or tedium could help to restore your lost faith.

Your health planet Neptune reckons some spiritual healing might soon be in order. While you might be in fine form physically, there could still be an awful lot going on in your head. This week, explore stress-busters like meditation and yoga.

Joining any get-rich-quick scheme isn’t recommended at present. In fact, Jupiter suggests approaching financial opportunities with extreme caution (if not outand-out refusal). With luck, a pal, partner or parent will raise their concerns as well.

Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 21

Capricorn DEC 22 – JAN 20

Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19

This week, Venus wants you to lighten up. Your health planet thinks you’ve been taking life too seriously of late (and your loved on nes couldn’t agree more here’s plenty of fun over the next seven da . You just need to go out !

Hurdles are made to jump over. You, being a typical Goat girl, should be able to do this with ease. Unfortunately, you mightn’t feel emotionally equipped to take the next big leap in a romance. Do it anyway or else you’ll be back at the starting line.

The influence of the Moon should bode well if you’re planning to tackle something new and exciting but also potentially scary. Be it a house, a business or a baby, there’s really no time like the present. Luckily for you, other people will help ccheer you on.

After freeing a young Bedouin girl from a Jerusalem prison, Miss Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis) sets out to unravel a wartime mystery concerning a priceless jewel, an ancient curse and the truth behind the suspicious disappearance of Shirin’s forgotten tribe. WHAT’S HOT: It’s been waaaay too

long since we’ve had a serving of Miss Fisher’s sass – five years to be exact. Also, those costumes are amazeballs!

GOGGLEBOX S11

Milo and Nic are pretty cute coach potatoes

GET READY FOR THE LOLS! After 10 seasons, it’s pretty clear Australians luuurve Gogglebox. Yep, the hit series has become just as much an Aussie TV staple as the shows that its castmembers critique each week – giving us their hilarious feedback with all the LOLs and life lessons included. Now, as we head into season 11, the show is bringing us three new households! We have the Elias family (a suburban Sydney clan of five), Kaday and Chantel (two modern-day Aussie gals), and loveable larrikin surfies Milo and Nic. Here, NW catches up with the Gold Coast best mates to

find out what they’ve got in store for us… Hi, Milo and Nic! So were you both fans of Gogglebox before applying? Nic: No, we’d never seen it. Just randomly, a recruiter came into the surf shop Milo works at looking for new families. Milo wasn’t keen, but when he came home and told me the story, I said what probably everyone has said: “Dude, we can do that! All you do is sit on the couch and talk s**t – we’re doing it right now.” So we applied. Do you think you’ll have conflicting views or do you usually see eye-to-eye?

Milo: Here and there. N: I love to play devil’s advocate and stir Milo up a bit – but just for fun. What shows do you guys normally watch? N: We both love our live sports, but on a work night, we’re watching Aussie Pickers, Pawn Stars, Love Island, The Amazing Race and Married At First Sight. Anything you aren’t looking forward to sitting through? M: I hate Pooch Perfect. N: I like it. We both aren’t too big a fan of The Block. What can the audience expect from you guys? M: Just two dudes having a good time, hanging out and

having some good banter. If you had to go on any other reality show, which one would you apply for? N: Survivor – we both love camping and fishing, and we back ourselves to be able to live off the land. We’d be hopeless on The Amazing Race because we’d probably just end up in the pub and get zero challenges done. When you’re not watching TV, what can we find you guys doing? M: Surfing, boating, camping, spearfishing. Season 11 premieres 7.30pm Wednesday 26 February on LifeStyle and at 8.30pm Thursday 27 February on 10 NWonline.com.au 71

THE INVISIBLE MAN

FILM

YOU CAN’T HIDE, LIZZIE!

You know her as Peggy Olson from Mad Men and the headstrong Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale, but now Elisabeth Moss is taking over the big screen. Yep, the talented actress has landed her first leading film role and boy, does The Invisible Man put her through the ringer! In the intense sci-fi thriller – a retelling of the classic HG Wells novel and 1933 film adaptation – Lizzie plays Cecilia, a woman who escapes an abusive relationship, after which her ex takes his own life. It’s then that she starts to notice strange things happening and becomes convinced that he isn’t really gone. Spooky! Here, Elisabeth shares her feelings on playing strong female characters and why she couldn’t say no to the part. Hi, Elisabeth. How did this film come your way? My agents called and told me I was offered my first lead role in a studio film, and I was blown away. But I was also mystified because when you hear “The Invisible Man”, you think of the classic telling of that story – with a man in bandages, a hat and glasses. I couldn’t imagine how I’d fit into that. But then they sent the script over and 72 NWonline.com.au

it immediately made sense. It puts a female spin on the story. Is that what attracted you? It’s a really feminist story of female empowerment – a victim kind of overcoming something. It’s that universal feeling of not being seen, of not having a voice, the fear of being invisible. Your roles often speak to people. How do you think

this film’s themes hit home? Most people have had some experience with gaslighting or feeling like you’re being taken advantage of. You have played some very dark characters in your long career. How do you separate yourself from these roles when you go home at the end of the day? I find that I’m very, very good at, like,

I guess some people would call it compartmentalising. I’m really good at turning it off, going home, texting my friends, having a glass of wine and putting it aside. It’s not unconscious. I need to be able to do that to treat my work with joy and enthusiasm. In cinemas Thursday 27 February

However, the barrister’s attention isn’t necessarily focused on the fresh meat... yet! With the show returning after a lengthy hiatus, the big-haired entrepreneur has revealed she’s keen to revisit some unfinished business with co-stars Gamble Breaux and Janet Roach – with the cameras rolling, of course. “The show’s not scripted, so there are probably some unresolved issues with them,”” Gina tells NW at the launch of the fifth installment in Melbourne. “Whether or not we end up going there, only time will tell.” Oooh!

Tempers on RHOM flared big time in 2018, with Gina branding Gamble a “gold digger” and slamming the blonde muso for lying on her eHarmony dating profile about having a PhD. Eek! While Gamble, 47, ended up confessing her doctorate was a sham (awkward), she lashed back at Gina, sniping that she’s “a bully with no real friends”. But that’s not all! In an earlier season, Gina had sensationally claimed she needed a “restraining order” against Gamble. Yikes, ladies! And Gina’s relationship with Janet, 61, hasn’t been any smoother over the years either. During the season four reunion, Janet vented, “If people really knew the truth about her, she wouldn’t have one single fan.” Gina fired back, claiming, “I don’t care
