Inhoudsopgave van 6 September 2016 - Closer

Is this Kerry’s happy ever after? No one would deny Kerry Katona deserves a shot at happiness. The Atomic Kitten singer has had a pretty turbulent life so far, which has included drug and alcohol addiction, bankruptcy, depression and two painful divorces. Now, after reuniting with her troubled ex, insiders say Kerry, 35, is ready for another baby with George Kay. A new child puts a strain on the strongest of relationships – add to the mix the couple’s stormy 13-month marriage plus this would be baby number six for Kerry and the odds feel helplessly stacked against her. Let’s hope this time she’s a step closer to her fairy-tale ending.…

‘She’s latching on to him in a bid to regain control’ Straddling her husband by the pool on holiday in Ibiza last week, Jordan couldn’t seem to keep her hands off toyboy Kieran Hayler. But despite their seemingly genuine displays of affection, insiders tell Closer how Jordan’s clingy behaviour is fuelled by her insecurities as she admits to pals she’s terrified that Kieran, 29, will be unfaithful again. AFFAIR SCANDAL Jordan, 38 – also known as Katie Price – was left heartbroken when she discovered her husband had cheated with two of her best friends, Jane Pountney, 51, and Chrissy Thomas, 43, in 2014 while she was pregnant with their daughter Bunny. After the revelations, Jordan – who’s also mum to Harvey, 14, Junior, 11, and Princess, nine, from previous…

Her rivalry with Beyoncé and Amber Rose has often fuelled headlines in the past – and insiders say Kim Kardashian was left fuming after accusing husband Kanye West of flirting with both women at the VMAs last week. Kanye, 39, was seen embracing Amber, who he dated for two years until 2010; and he later attended an after-party with Beyoncé, who he’s known for years. And while Kim, 35, happily posed for a photo alongside Beyoncé, 34, insiders say the atmosphere was tense. A source says: “Kim was furious with Kanye. She accused him of flirting with Beyoncé and Amber and told him that his attention should have been on her and yet he seemed to be more interested in other women. “Kim said she felt humiliated by Kanye’s disregard…

When hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the North and South Towers respectively of New York’s World Trade Center on 9 September 2001, it was the deadliest terrorist attack in history. Back then, the immediate effects were devastating: 2,606 people were killed at the Twin Towers and thousands were injured. But for many of the survivors, emergency workers, volunteers and residents, the atrocity has left a terrible legacy. A layer of dust and debris coated Manhattan after the tragedy, and the toxic dust created by the wreckage of the collapsed towers is still wreaking a deadly effect. Immediately after the towers fell, and for five months following 9/11, air pollution experts warned that the atmosphere contained carcinogenic particles and chemicals like asbestos, fibreglass, mercury…

She was pictured looking downcast and appearing to wipe away a tear last week during what seemed like a tense reunion with her estranged husband, Ben Affleck. And pals say that after a drawn-out separation, Jennifer Garner is finally ready to file for divorce. The actress, 44, announced her split from Ben, also 44, last June after 10 years of marriage, following rumours he had been cheating with the family’s nanny – which he later denied. Despite the split, the pair were reported to be considering reuniting for the sake of their three children, Violet, 10, Seraphina, seven, and four-year-old Samuel. But now sources say Jen is finally ready to move on. An insider says: “Jen’s been trying to keep things as normal as possible to maintain their family unit,…

They broke millions of hearts around the world when the prince and princess of pop split in 2002 after a three-year relationship. But now Britney Spears is gunning for a reunion with her ex, Justin Timberlake – and sources tell Closer his wife Jessica Biel is fuming. During a Q&A session on an American radio show, the 34-year-old Make Me… singer was asked which of her fellow artists she’d most like to work with in the future – and her ex featured in her line-up as she answered: “Justin Timberlake is very good.” A source says: “Jessica was fuming when she heard Brit’s comment and sent her a message warning her to steer clear of her husband, but Britney insisted she mentioned Justin in a purely professional manner as she…

“I GET UP AT 6AM EVERY DAY. I’ll start the day with a JMEAL protein shake or a bowl of yoghurt with protein powder and fruit. I THEN SPEND TWO HOURS SORTING THE ANIMALS OUT. I have six dogs and five cats, so there is a lot to do. I empty the litter trays, fill up their food and water and have a little play with them. Afterwards, I try to work out – either weights or cardio, depending on my mood. I START WORK AT AROUND 10AM. I’ll either be filming or heading to meetings – it depends on what I’m working on at the time. I’ll never be out of the house for more than six hours, though – I don’t want to leave the animals on…

He’ll be the first male politician to strut his stuff on Strictly, and former Labour MP Ed Balls admits to Closer that he’s scared how he’ll look. He laughs: “I sent a film of our group rehearsal to my family and commented that I looked like a rugby player. But their verdict was that I looked like a camp rugby player. “My wife [MP Yvette Cooper] said the rumba might be my worst dance. Problem is, that’s the one I was most looking forward to.” But Ed, 49, is just focusing on making it as far as he can. He says: “It’s more about survival. If I can get to week two, then that’s great.”…

THE MOVES Her flawless figure is the envy of many and Nicole, 38, reveals that variety is key to her exercise regime. She says: “In a typical workout I would run on the treadmill maybe 20 mins, then do some squats, some sit-ups on the exercise ball and some yoga stretches.” She’s also a huge fan of spinning and hot yoga, and if she doesn’t have time for a class she’ll squeeze in a run instead. THE FOODS Nicole doesn’t eat red meat and isn’t a fan of diets. Her typical breakfast is boiled eggs with salmon on toast, lunch is a turkey and cheese melt, and dinner is pasta or quinoa with fish and veg. She also snacks on avocados and says: “When I deprive myself of something, I…

Negative feedback from your boss can be difficult to swallow – especially when you’re doing your best! You spend so much time at work that your happiness is directly linked to your job satisfaction. In fact, the biggest reason people give for being absent from work is stress, so your boss’ attitude has a major impact. No one is perfect and we all get criticised from time to time, but knowing how to deal with it and being aware when your boss is overstepping the mark is essential to workplace harmony and your wellbeing. DEAL WITH NEGATIVE FEEDBACK • BE POSITIVE See fair criticism as an opportunity to learn and grow. Listen to your boss’ comments and if you don’t understand their reasoning, ask. This shows maturity. • PICK YOUR…

West End star Brenda Edwards, 42, on her battle with cancer “Last Christmas I noticed a small lump in my breast and went to see the doctor, who told me I had stage 3 breast cancer. I was terrified. I started having chemo and had a mastectomy and I’ve recently been given the brilliant news that I’m cancer-free. I’d advise women to get checked if they notice anything different as soon as they can.” • Moby Dick! The Musical is running at the New Union Theatre from 12 Oct - 12 Nov…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… Non- existent! We didn’t earn money for doing chores, either, as my dad didn’t believe in giving us money for things we should be doing anyway. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Working as a medical dispatcher at a call centre for something like £3.50 an hour. It was good fun. MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… A cross trainer I’ve never used! THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… An Aspinal of London handbag – it was a present. MY LAST PURCHASE WAS… Some butter, because my son wanted to bake a cake. SPENDER OR SAVER? I’m definitely a spender – always have been – but luckily I married a saver so he keeps me in check! • Nadiya has created a healthy afternoon tea menu for Champneys,…

So, tell us a bit about your character, Tracey Donovan. When we first see her she’s running out of the coffee shop as she’s just nicked a mobile phone off someone. She’s down on her luck, skint and the bailiffs are knocking at her door. But she’s got three lovely sons and a daughter, Grace, who she had with Fraser Black – a nasty piece of work. How are you enjoying your “make-under” for the role? It takes them ages to make me look so terrible... Not really – I’d love to say that, but I’m in makeup for about five minutes! I’m not wearing any make-up, I’ve got brown stuff sprayed into the roots of my hair and the lines on my face are exaggerated. My friend said: “You’re…

CLOSER’S THERAPIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “Lily went from being a megastar to a Supermum and, while she swapped A-list red carpets for a more sedate lifestyle, the transition was a huge one and suggests she was trying to escape her previous life. This extreme behaviour that she keeps returning to seems to be part of Lily’s character. She needs to work through whatever is ‘missing’ in her world emotionally so that she can operate in a more balanced way. It is possible to have a loving and fulfilled family life and a career. Life doesn’t have to be all or nothing.”…

Lizzie says: “When a relationship is in trouble, and there has been an infidelity, it’s very tough to hold it together. It doesn’t matter how much effort you put in – whether it’s looking great in a bikini or wearing sexy underwear – the trust is sadly gone, and it’s difficult to build up again. “Having experienced the aftermath of cheating, it was very difficult to feel genuinely happy. Even if you find out a close friend has been lying to you, it feels terrible to imagine what it’s like when it’s a partner. You’re constantly paranoid that they’re going to do it again. I take my hat off to Jordan for doing everything she can to save her marriage.”…

They were this summer’s A-list power couple, being snapped at showbiz parties together and sharing loved-up Instagram posts – but last week reports surfaced that Brooklyn Beckham and Chloë Moretz had split. And insiders say Brooklyn, 17 – who returned to the UK last week after spending the school holidays in LA – is heartbroken. A source says: “Chloë told Brooklyn they just need to be friends for the next few months because she is busy working in LA and he needs to concentrate on his final year of school. Brooklyn has taken it hard. He told her he has no interest in dating anyone else.” FIRST HEARTBREAK Brooklyn and Chloë dated briefly in 2014 and reunited earlier this year before confirming their romance in May. They spent the summer…

Susan Retik and Patti Quigley were both widowed on 9/11. Patti was eight months pregnant with her second child when her husband was killed while travelling on United Airlines Flight 175; Susan was seven months pregnant with her third child when her husband David was killed on American Airlines Flight 11. United in their grief, Susan and Patti – who live in the same neighbourhood – were moved by the support they received from friends, family and strangers. As they came to terms with their losses, they decided to set up a charity to provide support to widows in Afghanistan. They formed Beyond The 11th, which has helped over 10,000 women. Susan says: “When the US began to invade Afghanistan, I looked across oceans to the women in Afghanistan who…

She sparked rumours last month when she was pictured wearing a sapphire ring on her engagement finger – and now insiders say that Kate Moss and her toyboy lover Nikolai von Bismarck are set to have a Grecian wedding before Christmas. Nikolai, 29, and the supermodel spent nearly a month on the Greek island Hydra in August and loved it so much, pals say they’re intending to get married there. But Kate, 42, is legally still married to musician Jamie Hince, 47, who she split from last July after four years, and insiders say that she is going to wait until her divorce is finalised before settling plans and inviting family and friends. A source says: “Kate and Nikolai are completely loved up at the moment and think that Greece…

MEL B AT 41: ‘Fad diets don’t work in the long run’ She lost over 2st this summer in preparation for her return to America’s Got Talent , but Mel B admits it’s taken a lot of work to look good in her forties. The former Spice Girl – who is mum to Phoenix, 17, Angel, nine, and four-year-old Madison – told Closer recently: “I’ve done fad diets and realised they never work in the long run. I have to work out most days to stay in shape. I’m not one of those people who can eat whatever they like. I have to really work at it, especially as I get older.” And 41-year-old Mel’s exercise regime includes 30 minutes of cardio a day, mixed with weights and walking in…

She spent nearly two years in Birmingham to support her boyfriend Scott Sinclair while he played for Aston Villa. Now it’s been revealed that Helen Flanagan will be moving to Glasgow after Scott was recently signed by Celtic Football Club in a £3.5 million four-year deal. AT LOGGERHEADS But insiders say Helen, 26, is miserable at the thought of the move – after having told Scott, 27, earlier in the year that she wanted her and their 15-month- old daughter, Matilda, to be near her parents in Bury. A source says: “They’ve been at loggerheads about the move. Helen is worried that being even further away from her parents’ support could put a huge strain on their relationship – and possibly break them. She’s even considering moving nearer to her…

Two years ago Janey Lowes had a comfortable life in Newcastle, living with her boyfriend of 12 years. But she gave up her old life to do something incredible – care for sick and injured animals in Sri Lanka. Fully qualified vet Janey works 14-hour days, rising at 6am. She rarely has a day off and doesn’t earn any money, instead living off her savings. REWARDING FEELING Janey, 28, explains: “I see the most horrendous sights. It’s exhausting; and I get so upset by how badly treated the dogs are and their injuries. I rarely go out socialising and I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve tried to go to a movie and had to turn back because I’ve spotted an injured dog on the road and treated…

She is the oldest-ever female contestant to take part in Strictly – and Lesley Joseph tells Closer she’s doing all she can to prepare. Lesley, 70, says: “I am trying to get back in shape – I’ve lost about a stone and a half.” She adds: “I’ve been doing yoga for a while. When I went back to Birds Of A Feather recently to film a special, I had a personal trainer three times a week – but I gave up on it!” The actress says she’ll jump at any opportunity to celebrate her age. She says: “This year has been tough, we’ve lost a lot of very iconic people. It just seemed the right year for me to celebrate age – and to celebrate life.”…

A IS FOR ARTISTIC PRINTS Prints went into overdrive on the catwalk. Checks and geometric styles all played their part, but ornate painting prints are our top pick.

TRADE SECRETS… Celebrity make-up maestro Bryony Blake reveals her top A/W beauty tip. She says: “To recreate this season’s colour-pop eyes, I’m a huge fan of using cream eyeshadow as a primer on eyelids before applying powdery shadows as it adds hold and makes colours really zing.” We recommend Maybelline’s Color Tattoo, which has a touch of added shimmer and will suit most skin tones. ON TRIAL This week we tried daily moisturisers, from £4-£22. Here are our top three... 1 LONG LASTING This rich cream had a lovely, soothing scent, and just a small amount went a long way to give skin a moisture boost in the morning. It lasted all day to keep skin feeling soft and smooth. 2 HYDRATION HIT This gel-based moisturiser got to work tackling…

Tell us about the awards. I see it as a night of celebration – all the good things happening throughout the United Kingdom. It’s a party, we’re celebrating people. What are you wearing to host this year’s shindig? Oh, every year I have a suit made by Chris Kerr, the same gentleman who’s been making theatre clothes for me since I started in the West End in 1989.

You know, I’m like everybody else – I’ve got a little bit of love-handle around the middle, but I’m not frightened of that and Chris has a…

How does Maria react when Caz kisses her? She’s not really sure how to take it! But it’s not like a full-on snog, so I think Maria questions whether she imagined it to be something more than it actually was… Does it change the way Maria thinks about Caz? I think she does start to worry a little bit about what it all meant – but there’s a scene this week where Caz overhears Maria talking about her, and not in a good way! Maria’s priority then becomes about trying to get Caz to talk to her again! We know there is high drama ahead for Maria, Aidan [who Maria’s had a one-night stand with] and Caz… It’s great to be part of this big storyline. I think it’ll open…

She made headlines for all the wrong reasons at Glastonbury last summer after passing out, seemingly drunk, in a field while medics rushed to her aid. And last week, singer Lily, 31, Allen sparked fresh fears after she collapsed and was carried off a stage following a booze bender at London’s Notting Hill Carnival. The mum-of-two, who split from husband Sam Cooper last year, was snapped drinking cider, lager, whisky and punch as well as rolling a suspicious-looking cigarette. She later passed out on stage, where her boyfriend, DJ Daniel London, who she reportedly started dating in January, and her ex Seb Chew were performing. WILD PARTYING The shocking scene – of an unresponsive Lily being hoisted over Dan’s shoulder and carried away – has concerned friends, who worry she’s…

They put on a united front last week as Mark Wright supported his wife Michelle Keegan at the launch of her new TV show, Our Girl, but it did little to distract from earlier reports linking the former TOWIE star to another woman. CHEATING RUMOURS The drama unfolded when photos emerged of Mark, 29, hugging a blonde woman at last month’s V Festival – where he had already courted negative attention after his friends were allegedly involved in a bust-up with Danny Dyer. Reports claimed Mark was “cuddling and dancing” with the woman for over an hour. He later branded it “nonsense,” saying the woman – Jo – was “an old family friend of 15 years, mother of three children and like an auntie to me.” But insiders say the…

Their profiles have sky-rocketed as anticipation builds ahead of their new reality show, Rob & Chyna, airing in the States on September 11. But insiders say as Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna continue to grab headlines, his sisters are not happy to share their slice of fame. Last week alone former stripper Blac – real name Angela Renée White – graced the covers of celebrity magazines US Elle and Paper, and sources say this has left Kim Kardashian seething. Now insiders say Kim, 35, is already hatching a plan to stop her 28-year-old future sister-in-law – who has a three-year-old son, King Cairo, with her rapper ex-boyfriend Tyga, 26 (now Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend) – from stealing her reality crown. Pals say Blac’s naked pregnancy shoot for Paper magazine – which…

Coleen Rooney’s husband Wayne was left red-faced last week when he “liked” an X-rated website on Twitter, resulting in an onslaught of mockery from his followers – who also referenced the mum-of-three. The Manchester United star, 30 – who has sons Kai, six, Klay, three, and seven-month-old Kit with Coleen, also 30 – appeared to endorse a page called Daily Sex Videos. But his agent claimed it was an accident and issued a statement, saying: “He was clearing unwanted items from his Twitter feed when he accidentally pressed ‘like’ instead of ‘delete.’” Coleen was then bombarded with lewd Tweets, warning her to “keep an eye” on her husband. The scandal adds to a long list of shameful slip-ups for Wayne – who has been caught up in three separate scandals…

They looked strained as they were pictured outside a London restaurant last month, appearing to have a heated war of words. And now sources tell Closer how Courteney Cox’s ex-husband, actor David Arquette, is desperately urging her to call off her upcoming wedding to rocker fiancé Johnny McDaid. Pals say David, 44, who remains close to his former Scream co-star, 52, with whom he has 12-year-old daughter Coco, is concerned about Courteney’s turbulent relationship. A source says: “David and Courteney are extremely close – she’d even asked him to give her away at the wedding. But over the past few months, David has seen first-hand how her relationship is fraught with rows and he’s concerned about Courteney going through another painful divorce.” Courteney and Johnny – who were set up…

Natalie Cassidy’s family was made complete when she welcomed the arrival of her baby daughter with her fiancé Marc Humphreys last week. Announcing her news, the 33-year old EastEnders actress – who is also mum to five-year-old Eliza with her ex-fiancé Adam Cottrell – shared a picture on Twitter with the caption: “@cameramarc and I introduce Joanie Elizabeth Cassidy-Humphreys... We are all so in love!” Natalie met cameraman Marc in 2014 and the couple got engaged last year, but it’s not always been rosy for the star. She split with Adam after a volatile four-year relationship, during which time he was charged with two offences of assault and two charges of criminal damage after a row turned physical. Speaking about motherhood and not allowing Eliza to follow in her acting…

After featuring in runway shows for the likes of Chanel and Vivienne Westwood, Daisy Lowe says she hasn’t batted an eyelid at the bum-skimming hemlines and raunchy, cut-away outfits on Strictly. Daisy, 27, who was recently seen cosying up to a male model after having briefly dated singer Darius Campbell, laughs: “I have just gone into the dressmakers’ and said: ‘Do whatever you want and I don’t care!’ I am so used to [sexy outfits].” REHEARSAL FEARS She does worry about a few things, however, adding:“I just hope I don’t have a wardrobe malfunction! My biggest fear is actually slipping over – I already did it in rehearsal. I’m also scared I’ll forget the steps!” And Daisy, who’ll be competing alongside the likes of Louise Redknapp, Will Young and Olympian…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Olivia Culpo vs Rita Ora Ruffles are all the rage for autumn and the trend is already proving a hit with celebs. Olivia and Rita were both seen in this Caroline Consta blouse, which actress Olivia wore with shorts and ankle-straps; while singer Rita opted for ripped jeans and boots. VERDICT Both ladies style this top very differently, but Olivia’s simple touches win it for us. A DAZZLING DELIGHT Lupita Nyong’o, 33 She rarely disappoints on the red carpet and this stunning dress is another win. Geo print is set to be big news and the actress absolutely rocked it. We also loved that she complemented the look with lilac shoes and a matching flower in her hair. Gorgeous. JUMPSUIT JOY! Angela Griffin, 40 The actress…

There’s a real buzz for Middle-Eastern food at the moment. And celebs, including Sam Cam Ð whose favourite restaurant is the Palestinian Maramia in London Ð and MIC star Lucy Watson, whose family restaurant holds supper clubs hosted by Palestinian chef Joudie Kalla, are fans too. Now you can get a taste of the Middle East at home thanks to Joudie’s book Palestine On A Plate (£25, Jacqui Small LLP). Palestinian food is full of fresh vegetables, fish, meats and pulses, making it a healthy way to cook. Joudie says: “The food of Palestine is mouthwatering and colourful Ð and it’s all about sharing. The tradition is to have many dishes Ð salads, vegetables, meat and fish Ð on the table all at the same time. Yet the beauty is…

EMMA: You were brilliant in Celebrity Big Brother, tell me about your experience? KATIE: CBB was amazing. I had a lot of fears coming back to the UK after what happened with The X Factor [Katie has been mostly living in the US since appearing on the show in 2010]. But being on CBB helped me feel more accepted. The public really turned against you on X Factor and you were in the bottom two of the contest four weeks in a row. How did you cope with that? I wanted to keep a low profile. I went from being a regular person who just wanted to sing to being in the papers and magazines every day. It’s not something that’s easy to deal with, especially when it’s negative.…

It was recently revealed that many women in pain are seen as “being emotional” and are consequently fobbed off by their doctor. There’s also a gender disparity when it comes to waiting times in A&E – for men and women suffering identical pain, men wait 49 minutes for treatment, while women wait 65 minutes – and women are more likely to be wrongly diagnosed with mental health conditions like anxiety. Reporting health concerns as “women’s problems” is at best patronising and at worst dangerous because serious health problems can be shrugged off or misdiagnosed. Make sure you’re taken seriously.
