What is airbrushed Julia’s secret?

- AMANDA PLATELL

SINCE 1990 romcom Pretty Woman, we have adored Julia Roberts, left, now 56.

She looks ageless on the cover of Vogue, revealing that the secret to eternal beauty is ‘great genes and the love of a good man’.

Jolly good. But Vogue Julia is unrecognis­able from the Julia we see in her latest film, Leave The World Behind, right, where she seems to have left the airbrushin­g – and the fibbing – behind.

MUCH derision at the sight of Aussie Jason Donovan wearing budgie smugglers. Crikey, the guy is 55, incredibly fit and earns the right to wear Australia’s iconic swimwear. My only complaint is that they were a little loose.

JENNIFER Lopez relaunches her singing career with a saucy love song,

Can’t Get Enough, all about great sex with husband Ben Affleck.

‘Is this real life? Too good to be true. Take me all night,’ she sings. ‘I can feel the passion in your eyes.

Give me that touchin’, teasin’. So good I can’t believe it.’

And I can’t believe it’s not top of the charts!

ULRIKA Jonsson deleted a tweet she wrote on hearing that her ex-lover, Sven-Goran Eriksson, has terminal cancer. She had posted: ‘I don’t have anything to say about Sven #nada. Not a decent person.’ Jonsson had an affair with the former England coach while he was living with his partner, Nancy Dell’Olio, then described sex with him as being as ‘exciting as assembling an Ikea bookcase’. And it’s him who’s not a decent person?

IT’S not just in the movie Saltburn that Barry Keoghan can’t keep his trousers on. He dumped girlfriend Alyson Kierans, after the birth of their son Brando, for singer

Sabrina Carpenter. Alyson’s mum Kathy said crypticall­y that ‘he had the decency’ to give Alyson ‘the heads-up’ about his new girlfriend. I wouldn’t mess with that momma.

WHEN Matthew Perry died, Friends co-stars spoke lovingly of him. Now we learn he assaulted women and lied about being sober. Heartbreak­ing for his pals of decades – but I imagine they’ll be less likely now to sing the show’s theme song: I’ll Be There For You.

SOCCER star Kyle Walker’s wife threw him out after he fathered a second child with girlfriend Lauryn Goodman. Annie Kilner hired Coleen Rooney’s Wagatha Christie lawyer to get part of his €31million fortune. Has he never heard of a condom? A tenner might have saved him this misery.
