Photo: Arved Colvin-Smith ‘I can’t believe that a candidate for President of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women,’ said Michelle Obama last week. ‘I can’t stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core more than I ever could have predicted. This wasn’t just locker-room talk. This was a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about sexually predatory behaviour.’ With the American presidential election just three weeks away, it isn’t the candidates’ policies that have dominated the global headlines – but one man’s scandals. In the week Donald Trump was accused by six women of groping them, we spoke exclusively to former US Apprentice candidate Jennifer Murphy about her decade-long association with the billionaire. Despite admitting that he kissed her – without her consent –…

Photos: Wireimage, Splash News, Getty Images, Rex Features AMID ALLEGATIONS ABOUT BRAD’S weed smoking and parenting skills, reports surfaced that he could be investigated for child abuse by the FBI after he had an alleged altercation with the couple’s son Maddox onboard a private jet. While Brad was accused of being ‘verbally abusive’ and getting ‘physical’ with the 15-year-old, sources in his camp said, ‘Brad made contact with Maddox in the shoulder area, but there was absolutely no physical injury to him.’ Then last week, in what has been seen in some quarters as a victory for Brad, it was announced that police had decided against launching an investigation – with one report even claiming the FBI had deemed it a ‘waste of time’. Grazia understands the development has given…

UPDATE YOUR RECORDS accordingly – there could be a new power couple at large. Just a month after Grazia exclusively revealed that she had split from Cara Delevingne, St Vincent is rumoured to be dating Kristen Stewart. The pair were first spotted together at Largo restaurant in West Hollywood in late August, and St Vincent (real name Annie Clark) accompanied Kristen to the premiere of her latest movie, Certain Women , at the New York Film Festival in early October. They’ve also been seen several times out and about in the Big Apple. According to one insider, ‘Kristen and Annie have been really enjoying getting to know each other, there’s a definite spark there. Kristen thinks Annie is a genius, and Annie is equally taken with her.’ The hitch? Last…

The Regulars by Georgia Clark is out now (£12.99, Simon & Schuster). Photos: Rex Features. Statistics from statista.com/statistics/270821/smartphone-user-in-the-united-kingdom-uk LIKE 6AM YOGA CLASSES and that thing Mark Zuckerberg invented, most of us have a robust love/ hate relationship with our phones. (‘I hate who I am around you, get out of my life forever!’/‘Wait, come back, I need you, I love you!’ ad infinitum.) The tech gods are listening. Launching next month, The Light Phone is the size of a credit card. It can make calls, store 10 numbers and… that’s about it. Given that 42 million people in the UK have a smartphone and 41.9 million wish they didn’t, you understand the potential. The Light Phone has been invented by two entrepreneurs who wanted to make something ‘designed to be…

OUR PANEL CHARLIE GOWANS-EGLINTON Grazia’s fashion news and features editor has an eye for the eclectic and a pathological fear of men in flip-flops. @charliegowans JIM SHELLEY Grazia’s resident bloke writes about television, film and Man United. What he doesn’t know about chiffon is not worth knowing – literally. @jimshelley17 ASHLEY OLSEN CHARLIE SAYS: Whatever you’re thinking right now – unless you’re thinking YES PLEASE – you’re wrong. Trust me, I have a degree in the fashions (and the student debt to prove it), and I say THIS IS PROPERLY GOOD. JIM SAYS: Lordy. There’s ‘dressing down’ and then there’s ‘giving up’. This spectacular (spectacularly bad) cardigan and that jacket mean she is all set for an impromptu nap. YOU SAY: Ashley looks fab as always... I’m in love with…

Where we spotted it Softly diffused around lids at Les Copains in Milan. Why we loved it When brown feels too summery and black feels too harsh, amethyst is the perfect (and universally flattering) autumnal alternative. Ways to wear it When it comes to smoky eyes, layering is a foolproof application method. Start with a base layer of lilac all over, then build up to deeper violet at the outer corners. A slick of plum liner at the base of lashes will add subtle but sultry definition.…

Amy (Cara Theobold) works at a bowling alley. She has just stopped taking a psychoactive mood stabiliser. Her workmate Jake has a fancy for her. All the other boys circuiting her orbit have hair like The 1975 – little compensation in life when your mum doesn’t love you. She makes friends with an absolute badass, Raquel (Susan Wokoma), after an interchange with an apparition in a nightclub car park. Amy sees demons, you see. She is Crazyhead, the fantastically laconic star of a brand new drama that speaks an authentic language of young sisterhood, somewhere between Charlie’s Angels, Sylvia Plath and Skins. Creator Howard Overman has intruded on urban life with sci-fi before in the ace Misfits. Crazyhead may yet turn out to be an even more effective aphorism for…

Photos: Zoltan Tombor/Mondadori Photo LIBRA 24 Sept – 23 Oct For some while, you’ve remained quiet about a part of your life that means a lot to you. And you’ve no doubt felt somewhat guilty that you haven’t even confided in the person closest to you. With Mercury being challenged by Uranus, it would be a pity if the truth were to come out in an unexpected way, at the worst possible time. This is becoming a situation of which you must take complete control. Now.

Portrait: Peter Bohler The scandals just keep on coming for Donald Trump. Days after the release of a tape in which he was recorded boasting of ‘pussy grabbing’, last week six women came forward to claim that the 70-year-old billionaire groped and kissed them. American news channel CBS also uncovered a 1992 video in which the Republican presidential candidate is seen making lewd observations about a 10-year-old girl in Trump Tower. As Grazia went to press, it was reported that a court date of 16 December had been set for Trump’s legal team to appear in New York over allegations he raped a 13-year-old girl in 1998, something he vociferously denies. Now, Grazia can reveal thatTrump once kissed one of his former Apprentice candidates – without her consent – after…

Photos: Getty, Rex, Wireimage ‘INTERNET PORN IS A slippery slope into a dangerous world – it’s about desensitisation and forgetting how to make love. The lack of intimacy is giving us really bad sex. The sexual revolution gave us really bad sex. I want the sensual revolution to provide us with intimacy. It’s not being a prude, it’s actually the opposite of being a prude. It’s about reminding us how to reconnect as human beings. ‘I got involved because I previously spoke at both Oxford and Cambridge about animal rights and they invited me back, and I’m writing a book so I thought it would be a good topic to debate. I have an authority on this subject. I feel like I’ve been objectified on my own terms and not…

2008: Kristen met Robert Pattinson on the set of Twilight, but didn’t go public until a kiss at Cannes in 2012. 2012: An A-list scandal occurred when photos surfaced of Kristen cheating on Robert with director Rupert Sanders.

[1] ‘As the…'ism and ‘As a…'ism are interchangeable and equally twatty. Photos: Press Association, Instagram.com/JebBush, Xposure, Wireimage It’s hard to assimilate all the ways in which Trump’s ‘Grab ’em by the pussy’ tapes are vile. Their vileness proved a trigger on all manner of related incidents of vileness; any attempt to comprehend the lot would be like trying to comprehend the magnitude of the universe (if the universe’s unknowable grandeur had been replaced by many examples of douchebag misogyny). This is why I am focusing on the twatishness that arrived as a kind of afterthought to all the vileness, as it’s milder, ergo less overwhelming. This twatishness comes in the form of a rhetorical device: ‘As the…’ism. Jeb Bush was the first to commit it, posting a Twitter condemnation of…

ANNA KENDRICK IS A PRO. She may have been ‘sick as a dog’ with a sinus infection at this year’s Met Ball in May but you’d hardly know it from the images of her on the red carpet in a sequinned blue Derek Lam gown. Nor can you tell from her performance onstage at Cannes with Justin Timberlake to promote their new film, Trolls – which she went to directly after the Gala – that she was suffering from a bad case of the bunged up. ‘At the Met Ball, I was just nodding along when anybody said anything to me,’ says the actress now. ‘And at Cannes, I was still sick and I had to sing with an internationally renowned pop star. That was hugely terrifying.’ Google it; both…

EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s features director When Brit Bennett started work on this novel, she was 17, like lead character Nadia. Reeling from her mother’s suicide, Nadia seeks to leave her small town – and her secret – behind, to pursue college life (as Brit herself did at Stanford). This is a powerful read, and one which is ever more vital when abortion rights and racial equality are still not a given. FIONA COWOOD Grazia’s contributing editor I was so engaged with Nadia’s story: the young girl who recently lost her mother to suicide, whose bright university future is threatened by ‘mostly safe sex’ with the boy she has found comfort with. And as she continues to keep her secret and moves on with her life, we see that this young…

PUT A RING ON… WHO? Can science take the place of raw attraction for student nurse Melissa and business development exec Clark as they meet at the altar in slightly alarming docu strand Married At First Sight? The one question that never quite gets answered is why anyone would be mad enough to do this. Is it just another symptom of the Age of Fame, or something more vulnerable? Tuesday, 9pm, Channel 4 FRESH PRINTS Everybody has the right to be anodyne, no matter their colour. Therein lies the message of Black’ish, a sweet show circumnavigating ‘the mythical and majestic black family’, the Johnsons of Beverly Hills. Clipped lawns, aspirational lifestyles and high achievements are not new for black families on US sitcoms – ask the Cosbys – but in…

Polly Vernon’s report was a continuation of Grazia’s one-sided representation of the pro-life/pro-choice debate. Some women face the terrible dilemma of unwanted pregnancies from difficult or violent circumstances. But many abortions occur because women don’t take responsibility for their contraceptive choices, in their own words: ‘Hoes before embryos’. Why do they think abortion on demand is their right? Is this really how our overburdened health services should be used, when there are so many contraceptive choices available? If this is an issue about women’s rights, what about the right of women on the other side of the argument to be heard? Name withheld ATTITUDE NOT PLATITUDE I loved Marian Keyes’ words of wisdom in ‘When life throws me lemons, making lemonade is the last thing I want to do’ (17…

She’s seven and we have some good girly chats. What’s your biggest regret? When I was young, I didn’t think too much about the future – I was very much in the present. But fashion changes and maybe I would have made different choices with my tattoos. I’ve already told Scarlet she isn’t getting any. What’s your biggest extravagance? Holidays. I’ve been so lucky that I’ve travelled a lot with work, but you don’t get to enjoy places. I’ve been to Italy hundreds of times, but I had my first holiday there this year. When was the last time you were embarrassed? Last…

That is, until now: Khloé K has joined the race, and she means business – her own business, new denim label Good American, revealed exclusively in Grazia , and on sale today . These are jeans for women who don’t fit the skinny jean staple; because, let’s be honest, while we might not be equipped to balance a champagne bottle on our bottoms, the average woman in the UK is more apple than Amazonian.

GLANCING DOWN AT HER FITBIT, Katie* was disheartened to see she hadn’t reached her goal number of steps for the day. So far, so normal. After all, for those of us who wear fitness trackers, who hasn’t wanted to get their steps up to 10,000 before bed? Except Katie was aiming for 20,000. And rather than a quick march to get her numbers up, Katie went for a run, even though she’d already done a full gym session at lunchtime. Finally, her tracker buzzed 20,000 and she went to bed. ‘I was anorexic in my teens,’ says Katie, a 28-year-old marketing manager from Kent. ‘In my first year of university it got so bad I weighed five and a half stone, was admitted to a clinic and had to do…

Never been the one who leans in for a snog at the end of the night, fully confident that it has all gone well. I expect to be kissed. Hope to be kissed. I’m adept at slowing down my words as…

CHOICE FOR ALL Thanks for Irish politicians want this to go away. We won’t let it (10 Oct), about the march in Dublin to repeal Ireland’s 8th Amendment. Women from Northern Ireland have been campaigning, too. We are part of the UK yet are criminalised for seeking an abortion, for exercising our right to choose. If we travel to another part of the UK for a termination, we cannot do so on the NHS, yet we pay our taxes like our sisters in England, Scotland and Wales. It doesn’t matter if the reason we need an abortion is because of rape, incest, fatal foetal abnormality or that we simply don’t want a child. We are an anomaly. A problem that is ignored by the governments in Westminster and Stormont. So…
