• TOM CRUISE’S KIDS ISOLATED • JOHN TRAVOLTA’S SHOCK RITUAL Former Scientologist Sam Domingo has dropped a bombshell, exposing new secrets of some of the church’s most famous followers. In an interview with DailyMailTV, the former daughter-in-law of opera singer Placido Domingo alleges that Connor and Isabella Cruise – the children of famous Scientologist Tom Cruise – were “indoctrinated into Scientology and very much isolated” following Tom’s divorce from their mum, Nicole Kidman, in 2001. Sam – who was close to Tom’s sisters – claims they were raised in a “boot camp” environment overseen by former enforcer Mark ‘Marty’ Rathbun, who has since left the church. “I know what techniques they used... [Marty] was so tough on them, the Cruise kids had no choice,” Sam said. “After the divorce, they were indoctrinated into…

They’re Australia’s most successful radio duo co-hosting their popular breakfast show for almost 20 years. But it seems Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson may be about to call time on their on-air relationship. While it’s no secret King Kyle keeps bad company, parties hard and has had his fair share of sick days, our sources say adding all of this to the most recent drama of him parting ways with his former manager Andrew Hawkins in mysterious circumstances, has pushed Jackie to breaking point. With industry gossip rife with rumours the shock jock is not focused on his career and is “too demanding” at the studio, the single mum apparently doesn’t want to get caught up in the crossfire of any bad press. “Kyle is all about Kyle, chucking tantrums and making unrealistic…

He’s one of the country’s most eligible bachelors and she’s a former supermodel back to her best. But eyebrows were raised when Dr Chris Brown and Tziporah Malkah were caught getting close, seemingly confirming one of showbiz’s best kept friendship secrets. Last week, Chris and Tziporah were spotted together at the airport. They were seen sharing a cheeky kiss and a friendly laugh before boarding the same plane together. Now a source tells New Idea exclusively why the pair have kept their friendship out of the spotlight to date. “Chris and Tziporah have remained really close friends since she appeared on I’m A Celeb a few years ago,” a source tells New Idea. “They’ve worked hard to keep their friendship under wraps, because they don’t want all the attention, but they talk all…

Concern about Prince Harry has amped up with a royal insider telling New Idea that the new dad sparked huge concern after going missing following his charity polo match against brother William on July 10. “Harry was basically uncontactable for 48 hours and everyone was frantic with worry,” reveals the source. Though royal insiders hoped the joint engagement – one of the brothers’ first together since feud rumours began – would put an end to their reported rift, the event seems to have served only as additional stress for the prince on top of tension and controversy surrounding son Archie’s christening days earlier. Though the new dad smiled at his 8-week-old son while taking some time out off the field, “[he] appeared uptight and looked upon his wife with disdain”, an onlooker noted. “It’s…

Meghan’s going all out to prove she’s committed to keeping Princess Diana’s memory alive, including the latest surprise move of having Diana’s sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale, pose for official photos at Archie’s christening. The duchess has a history of not-so-subtle nods to her husband’s late mum, from Di’s favourite flowers (forget-me-nots) featuring in both her bridal bouquet and her first Mother’s Day post, to her rumoured upcoming regular column in Vogue – Di’s favourite magazine. She and Kate also regularly wear Diana’s jewellery – and it’s causing tension. “Meghan was left fuming after Kate wore Diana’s pearl earrings at the Order of the Garter service after she was snubbed the right to wear them for the Trooping the Colour ceremony,” tells an insider.…

In a terrifying security breach, an intruder scaled the Buckingham Palace fence at around 2am on July 10 as the Queen slept. It took on-site police four minutes to apprehend the 22-year-old, say palace sources. “[They] detained him under the mental health act, but they have to ask some serious questions about how … he had so long to roam free,” a royal insider told The Sun. They added there is a “very real fear” the incident was an attempted copycat of Michael Fagan’s infamous 1982 break-in. “How is it possible all these years later that someone can climb the fence and get right inside the grounds?” queried the source. “He was determined to get inside the palace and was banging down the doors but … everything was locked.”…
