New Idea 30 April 2018

I’m still not sure my heart has recovered from last week’s MKR, but it certainly has had the entire office talking about the big fight and its aftermath. One thing’s for sure, it’s compulsive viewing as every episode brings new twists and turns. Oh, and some great food too! Sadly, the series is gearing up for the finale, but luckily we’ve got House Rules just around the corner and from what I hear from the show’s bosses, we can expect some of the best TV yet. Check out our exclusive coverage of what really happened on MKR on page 8. We’re the only magazine with the real story. Why would anyone ever leave the couch again? Have a good week.…

ROYAL CELEBRATIONS Happy Birthday QUEEN MARGRETHE! The Danish monarch was surrounded by family – including PRINCESS MARY and kids CHRISTIAN, 12, ISABELLA, 11, and VINCENT and JOSEPHINE, both seven – as she celebrated turning 78 on the balcony of Amalienborg Palace. Here’s something we never thought we’d say... who wore it best, PARIS HILTON or JANE SEYMOUR? The unlikely fashion friends laughed off turning up to an Oscar de la Renta spring luncheon in the same floral gown! EVA LONGORIA wasn’t about to let the fact she’s due to give birth any minute stop her from receiving her Hollywood star. ‘What a dream come true today! Receiving my star on the Walk of Fame is an honour I can’t even believe I’m going to experience!’ It was a daddy and daughter day out for…

Young Scout has met the new partners of her parents James Stewart and Jessica Marais for the very first time, in a cosy family get-together in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. During an outing with her dad James and his new love Sarah Roberts, five-year-old Scout was introduced to her mum Jessica’s new boyfriend, Jake Holly. The group shared some friendly family time on Coogee Beach, before doing their regular swap of their daughter. The foursome shared a few jokes as they sipped on coffee and played with Scout, tossing her in the air while she happily did the same with her toy doll. Jessica looked refreshed and radiant while she sat close to her beau Jake, who was dressed casually in sportswear. The curly-haired photographer met Jessica this year and the couple are said to be ‘head…

JESS’ HEARTBREAKING CONFESSION AS THE CONTESTANT OPENS UP ABOUT HER DEVASTATING PERSONAL STRUGGLES In the most explosive episode yet, pals Sonya and Hadil, and sisters Jess and Emma went head-to-head in the biggest fight in MKR history! The Jordanian friends were left fuming as they were excused from the table, and now it’s been revealed they will not be returning to the show. Jess and Emma have constantly entertained fans with their quirky quips, but appearing on the show has led to nasty backlash as a result of the implication last year that it was them who were thrown out of the competition. ‘I was getting death threats, and to this day, we’re copping it,’ Jess, who discovered she is expecting her second child shortly before the show went to air, tells New Idea. ‘I…

After weeks of attacks on Jess and Emma, the show’s branded ‘villains’ Sonya and Hadil’s final scathing verbal assault on the Sydney sisters has caused public outrage. Viewers have taken to Instagram slamming the feisty Jordanians’ behaviour. ‘You can’t justify this disgusting behaviour. You said these words. You need to own it,’ one post read. Another fan wrote: ‘What S & H did to you guys and the rest of the teams last night was down right bullying, threatening and disrespectful.’ Remarkably, the friends stand by their actions – insisting that ‘there’s more to the scandal’ than meets the eye!’ ‘Only a complete fool makes accusations based on what another person has told them. Don’t assume everything you hear to be true, and never accuse without knowing all the facts, or both sides of a…

‘SHE’S DETERMINED THAT NOTHING WILL GET IN THE WAY OF HER HAPPINESS’ Jennifer Aniston has made a brave step to hold onto her man. Amid reports that Brad Pitt, 54, is ‘smitten’ with glamorous architect Neri Oxman, the 49-year-old actress isn’t giving up on him – as New Idea can exclusively reveal. ‘Jen is going to fight for Brad, plain and simple,’ says a friend close to the actress. ‘When Ange stole Brad from her, Jen feels she just sat back and did nothing, and pretty much gave in straight away. She didn’t fight for her marriage last time – but that’s not going to happen this time around.’ According to recent reports, after meeting one another at an event, Brad and Neri ‘got romantically involved almost straight away’ and were ‘very much a…
