What the Kiwi gossip mags say

Nicky Watson does not like the limelight. In fact, the bikini model no longer enjoys parties, drinking, late nights or any of those A-list celebrity shenanigans she used to get up to.
So why - after two years away from the gossip scene - is the 32-year-old giving up life on her farm making organic muesli, pulling complicated yoga moves and cleaning up horse poo to shake her stuff in skimpy bikinis on catwalks around the world?
Because Pamela Anderson asked her to, that's why.
"It has been a difficult decision because my heart is in the countryside with my horses, living a simple, relaxed life," Watson, 32, tells Woman's Day while reclining on a hay bale in cowgirl boots and an ill-fitting shirt.
"Pam liked me because I'm not your typical runway model. I'm healthy and voluptuous and we are both animal lovers and she is a free spirit like me."
These silicone sisters might be uniting, but Watson - who wore a barely-there bikini for the Baywatch babe's A*Muse label during Fashion Week - says all of her headline-grabbing behaviour is in the past.
"I have stopped even thinking about that side of life. It's once in a blue moon that I drink ... I don't like late nights. I am more likely to wear board shorts on the beach than a small bikini. I am not an exhibitionist," says Watson, who once had a nipple pierced - baring all - during an infamous 20/20 documentary.
If Tui's billboards started using Nicky Watson quotes they could be funny again.
Meanwhile, Marc Ellis is about to become a dad. WD reports the television personality's Argentinean wife Agustina Mon are expecting their first child together after three years of marriage.
"They're totally thrilled," a source tells the mag. "Marc may seem like a wild and crazy guy on TV, but at heart he's a very caring, sensitive guy whose family means everything to him."
Get ready for a lifetime of pranks, pisstakes, nudity and bad moustaches, little one.
Elsewhere, WD also has the "first pics" of Jude Law's new child with Kiwi model Samantha Burke - if you call a paparazzi photo of the baby's foot poking out from under a blanket newsworthy. Nice work, guys.
Ignore that, and check out this week's essential overseas news: "Love rat" Justin Timberlake has been getting raunchy with Rihanna, Charlotte Dawson is dating a giraffe called Harold, Reese Witherspoon is wearing a ring the size of a small moon, Renee Zellweger is refusing to eat enough pies to play Bridget Jones again, and Madonna is set to marry Jesus. Has God RSVP'd yet?
Finally, the quote of the week comes from a delusional Kelly Osbourne: "I'm actually really small. I just photograph fat."
We all know the camera adds 10 pounds, Kelly - but what about the other 40? Where does that go?

Where has all the class gone?! Barely there clothing, such as the tarty ensemble worn by the tart herself-Nicky Watson- is tasteless. Lets hope the Air NZ fashion organizers bring in a designer with a proper sense of 'environmentally friendly' fashion.
Nicky Watson back? I didn't miss her.......
I read with glee the PC brigade that post on here, and this week I am more amused than normal.
First of all, this is all meant to be LIGHT HEARTED FUN; get over yourselves!
Andrea, if you call this rubbish - why do you read it every week?
Ana - go to the gym to let off your steam, physical threats can be a criminal offence you know and you are not impressing anybody.
All the Kelly Osbourne commenters - she used to be large, let's face it and it is only recently that she has really started to slim down. We have no idea when she made that comment, and while I agree the comment from Chris was harsh, we all know it was true (for awhile)
For the voluptous comments - Nicky is considered voluptous by American standards and she referred to herself as that. Let's face it, we all think of ourselves differently to how other people actually perceive us.
Rosie - RIGHT ON!!
Stop reading this section if you are so offended by it. Go back to your knitting.
Who cares. Celebrities are overrated.
And out comes the PC Brigade...
You are a plonker!!
if 'celebrities' stopped talking about their weight they wouldn't get quoted in magazines and then we wouldn't get to have an opinion on it. if kelly osbourne is silly enough to talk about her weight publicly she deserves backlash - it's people like her that fuel eating disorders, not journalists.
so kelly weighs 50 pounds? she needs to eat some butter
@ Ana - what a ridiculous comment, I can somewhat understand some people get upset about that comment, but to say a punch in the face is needed... come on!
If that was an attempt to put him down and make yourself look better it failed miserably!
Shame on YOU Ana - we are all trying hard to rid violence from our communities! You should apologise!
Are we not able to apply any perspective - it is a damn Woman's Mag gossip column - just take a deep breath and settle down!
