the end was just the beginning

Well ... that's the school holidays virtually over ... I muddled frantically through, my spoilt rotten kids had a blast going to art class, tennis camp, the movies, their former nanny's place ... The eldest even got swept off to Jamberoo water park by my fabulous sister (in icy temperatures ... good luck to them).... Continue Reading →
I normally like to keep my gossip round-up snippets short, but the story of the week requires a little explaining ... Sinead O'Connor and Miley Cyrus's war of words. It all started when Miley told Rolling Stone magazine that Sinead's iconic video for her hit 'Nothing Compares 2 U' was the inspiration for her 'Wrecking... Continue Reading →
I'm having Newcastle withdrawal symptoms. They strike me quite regularly. The signs include gazing off vacantly into the distance while fantasising about renovating a little beachside hacienda in Merewether; imagining drinking a glass of pinot grigio while gazing at the waves at The Merewether Surfhouse; dreaming of popping over to Bistro Tartine to nibble on...

It didn't go down terribly well either, especially with the seven-year-old, who struggled to get her head... Continue Reading →
It's guess the celebrity mama time as one star is sued for mistreating her nanny, another gives birth and ditches Hollywood, a third shares an adorable messy bub pic and a fourth joins Weight Watchers ... read on for the who's who ... Alannis' nanny takes her to court Alanis Morissette and her husband Mario "Souleye"... Continue Reading →
It all started with a story that my co-worker Jo had innocently titled "Why you shouldn't film your birth". I was halfway through my lunch when I started proof reading it. Fortunately I wasn't having beef rendang that day, but it was still a little stomach churning. Because it turns out the reason you shouldn't... Continue Reading →
I love a red carpet and this week gave me two – the 2013 Emmy Awards and the Brownlows. So many frocks in one day. Mind you, my favourite story of the week involved no clothes at all ... >> Jude Law gained almost 14kg by eating two tubs of ice-cream and 12... Continue Reading →
