As a true Outrageous Fortune fan, I adore Robyn Malcolm's character Cheryl West. She rocks. And much like her character, Robyn strikes me as somebody who plays down her talent, and just how inspiring she is.

We are proud to have her incredibly open and frank interview in this issue. In it, she talks about the futility of diets and how for years she struggled to be happy with her body. That somebody as openly strong as Robyn can be so candid about something so personal is awe inspiring (see page 6).

Imagine if you have one of the new TIVO sets. You would be able to record every episode of Outrageous and watch it again and again. And the clever little boxes will know that you love the show and seek out other programmes with your favourite actors. So everything with Cheryl's hubby Wolf (aka Grant Bowler) would also be recorded without even asking. Oooh, now my mind is wandering to George Clooney 24/7.

Also in this issue are other amazing exclusive stories on Jude Law's Kiwi baby (page 10) and a touching interview with Lisa Niemi about her regrets of not telling her husband Patrick Swayze more often how much she loved him (page 14).

And if you need some light relief after the compelling stories this week, have a laugh at the Royal lookalikes ... it's quite spooky how strong that bloodline is.
