Woman's Day|1820EditorialApparently my partner looks like Craig McLachlan. Over the years he’s been stopped by strangers and asked if he actually is Craig (just to clarify, that’s more in a Dr Blake kind of way than Rocky Horror vibe!). In fact, I’m surrounded by people with celebrity doppelgangers. On the entertainment team we have Keira Knightley and Miley Cyrus, and Julia Roberts runs Production. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a celebrity lookalike, turn to page 30 where you’ll meet the Aussie version of Meghan Markle! PS: Love to see your famous faces.

Woman's Day|1820HARRY WARNS: I’LL PROTECT MY BRIDE!Dear Prince Harry, It’s not to [sic] late, Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you.

The 53-year-old Oscar winner is said to be reeling with shock after obsessed fan Joshua James Corbett was found dead in his home last Wednesday following a five-hour stand-off with police. “Obviously, this is tragic news, so she’s very upset. But at the same time, there’s a huge sense of relief that she no longer has to worry about him tracking her down and putting her or the children’s lives in danger,” an insider tells Woman’s Day exclusively. “Sandra’s aware that being in the public eye comes with certain drawbacks, and she’s enormously grateful to the police and her own security team for keeping her safe in some…2 min

The 28-year-old is the spitting image of Meghan Markle – the most watched woman in the world, who’ll join the British royal family next week when she marries Prince Harry. And Stephanie is certainly feeling the Meghan hysteria in the lead-up to the wedding of the century! “I’ve been approached in the street, at restaurants, the gym, even at the grocery store,” says the Lorna Jane retail manager from Canberra. “The comments have become a lot more frequent.” Stephanie says comparisons between her and the US actress started in 2011, when Meghan joined the hit drama series Suits.

Woman's Day|1820Just add WATER!Our skin is 80 per cent water, but what happens when the level drops? Neutrogena’s skin expert Dr Eleni Yiasemides says sunshine, cleansers, air conditioners and astringent soaps can all suck out moisture, leaving skin rough, scaly and dull.

The triple-threat who played Billy in the Sydney production of Billy Elliott The Musical 10 years ago has worked his way into a thriving TV career in the US at 24, playing a homeless teenager in Stan’s new drama Rise (about a high school drama group, and likened to Glee). Despite his success, Rarmian still reminisces about home. “I miss the coffee!” he says of Australia. As for the homeless boy he plays, Rarmian says he can relate to having to start anew, even if it is just in a new country. “I’ve always had a stable home and plenty of friends, which made it even harder when I had to leave for the USA to pursue my…1 min

Terri, 53, and Wes, 47, stayed at the luxurious SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills and dined together at West Hollywood hotspot Gwen while in the US for the unveiling of Steve’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame late last month. “He never left Terri’s side during the unveiling – he’s very protective of her,” said an onlooker.

Issue 35-2024 - BestWoman's Day|1820FINALLY! THE TRUTH BEHIND HANGING ROCKREVEALEDIt’s a tale that captured the Australian imagination like no other – three Victorian schoolgirls and their teacher disappear on a Valentine’s Day country picnic in the summer of 1900 after wandering into an area known as Hanging Rock. The novel was written by Joan Lindsay in 1967, and immortalised on film in 1975 by Australian director Peter Weir. And now, the story has been reimagined for a six-part television series on Foxtel, bringing the eerie tale to a whole new audience. But still the questions remain – is the story true? And if so, what happened to those girls? In her research for Beyond The Rock: The Life Of Joan Lindsay And The Mystery Of Picnic At Hanging Rock, Janelle McCulloch reveals we may be closer than ever to…3 min

Woman's Day|1820IN YOUR 50sCHECK 1 MENOPAUSE (KIND OF!) The average age of menopause in Australia is 51, but in good news there are no routine health checks for it – it’s more about being aware of what’s going on with your body. “Menopause is defined at 12 months since your last normal menstrual period, and you don’t need a check for that,” says Dr Ginni Mansberg. “We don’t treat it because there are no necessary interventions, but we can treat hot flushes.” Other symptoms like sleepless nights can affect your energy levels, so nutritionist Cinzia Cozzolino suggests reducing your coffee and tea intake to avoid a further disruption to melatonin secretion.

Woman's Day|1820Why Agnetha put a stop to the Abba reunionDecades after their final performance, Abba have shocked the world by reuniting in the studio to record two new songs. While fans are ecstatic to hear new music from the Swedish pop group who brought us Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia, any hopes for a tour have sadly been crushed. “No – definitely not,” says their manager Gorel Hanser. “We should remember them how they were in the 1970s, and listen to how they sing today.” Woman’s Day can reveal the band’s bitter divorces – Benny and Anni-Frid, and Bjorn and Agnetha – combined with Agnetha’s reluctance to tour have prevented them from reuniting. “When they became successful, they were two couples who were best friends and couldn’t believe everything that was happening to them,” says an insider. “But by…2 min

Woman's Day|1820IN YOUR 30sCHECK 1 STRESS We’ve all felt it. In small doses stress can be a positive force, motivating you to perform well, but when it sets in it can be damaging. Psychiatrist and mindfulness expert Elise Bialylew warns ongoing stress can be detrimental in the long run, leading to an increased risk of diabetes, heart attacks and psychological illnesses, such as anxiety and depression. Elise recommends daily exercise and meditation. “Just 10 minutes a day of mindfulness meditation over one month can support more positive emotions.” CHECK 2 STRENGTH Fitness is important for setting your body up to cope with whatever life throws at you. “Once they hit 30, most women experience a drop in their basal metabolic rate, meaning the body doesn’t need as many calories to sustain itself,” says…1 min

We also ask how many times you get up in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom, whether you have any difficulty feeding yourself because you can’t cut your vegetables and whether you can get to the shops.” Not only can you keep your memory in check by doing activities like puzzles and problem solving, you can also find…2 min
