Singer’s rep says couple have not spoken to each other for a month.

A rep for Mariah Carey has confirmed she and her billionaire beau haven’t seen each other since last month after the pair had an argument in Greece.

“The fight was not because of any cheating allegations or excessive spending by Mariah,” the rep explained.

“They are trying to work it out. Right now, they’re not sure if they will stay together.”

They added that the couple will release an official statement after they decide on their future.

Yesterday in an explosive article on Woman’s Day online, the Aussie tycoon is said to have walked away from the Honeysinger ahead of her new reality TV show.

“It’s all over”, a source reportedly tells the publication.

“James had huge reservations about Mariah’s new reality TV show and the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world.”

James and Mariah’s supposed shock split may explain why Mariah was spending time with her ex-husband Nick Cannon, and their five-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, at a Halloween party last week.

Mariah, who often posts loved-up snaps on Instagram with James, has not shared a photo of him in over a month.

Rebeckh Burns is the owner and operator of Hot Yoga Works, a bikram yoga studio in Auckland which sees more than 150 yogis through its doors every day. Good’s Natalie Cyra talked to her about the benefits of yoga for achieving a better balance in life, as well as how she found her recent visit to the One Fire yoga festival in Joshua Tree National Park, USA.

How did you get into practising yoga and why do you love it?

I started being interested in yoga and meditation as a teenager and studied naturopathy in my early 20s. I noticed this pattern that a lot of people would start a regime of taking herbs and supplements and being healthy but they’d fall back into their old patterns six weeks later, which made me come to the conclusion that you really need to change your mind to change your life. I went on to study metaphysics and started applying what I was learning to my own life as well. I took up the practice of birkam yoga almost ten years ago, and I realised pretty much straight away that the practice was very good at bringing everybody very present. You don’t really have to understand yoga, you could just come into a class and because of the heat and everything, you have to really have to concentrate on yourself and what you’re doing which really creates a lot of self awareness. You’re like your own teacher, so it’s really your own personal journey, you’re looking at your own alignments.

Why you think your bikram yoga studio in Britomart is doing so well?

It brings a lot of good energy to the city, I think people are feeling better sitting at their desks after they’ve taken a good break and feel good when they leave. It becomes a really regular thing– like brushing your teeth, bikram yoga flushes out the toxins of the body with the heat and sweat.

You’ve just recently attended and led a semiar at the One Fire yoga festival in Joshua Tree, USA. How was that?

It was incredible, Joshua tree is a very inspiring place. It’s a global festival and one of the event organisers has been to our studio, so he invited me to go and speak about the best practices for running a studio in the business of yoga. There was about 350 people there for the week with heaps of different events and speakers talking about all different types of yoga and meditation.

Did you learn any personal insights from your trip?

It was an eye opener, because in the USA they look at yoga and business from a different perspective. It broadened my horizons, because here I focus on lifestyle and having a great balance with my kids and the studio and practice. Hanging out with my children is much more important than anything else. Their focus is all about leveraging and opening up 10 studios and so on – it opened my mind a little bit to how business operates over there. From a personal perspective its always great to reflect and have a bit of a break. It was a vortex of energy there, they have a lot of retreats at this particular place and a lot of people go there to camp in the desert and find themselves, so it definitely has special qualities out there.

What advice do you have for the everyday woman trying to achieve an overall more balanced life?

You’ve got to start with yourself, it’s like putting on the oxygen mask on the plane –  it’s very important to feel good about yourself. Just incorporating a simple practice like yoga, or the gym or a walk just to give youself a little something so you can be a better friend, wife, mother, employee is essential.

Why do you think yoga is such a great practice for achieving the sort of overall wellness people hope to gain?

Yoga looks after the mind, body and spirit in one package. It’s a one stop shop. With bikram, you get the detoxification benefits as well as the meditation aspect through having to concentrate more, but all yoga is good. It’s always a journey, it’s a life long devotion to the practice but also to looking after yourself. You can go to the gym and hammer yourself with weights endlessly but you have to look after yourself inside too: your soul and your spirit, and through practising yoga you just become stronger and more centered on the inside as well as more peaceful on the outside.

Kiwi stars Sam Neill, Hilary Barry and Lucy Lawless let Erin Simpson in on their kitchen secrets.

As New Zealanders we are a super proud nation and we love to praise and celebrate our greatest international successes.

Think rugby, Pharlap, pavalova, Dame Kiri, Flight of the Conchords and of course that 15 year old movie series, Lord of the Rings.

Amazon has revealed in one of their recent listings that the “Middle-Earth Limited Collector’s Edition“ is on the way, including both the extended LOTR trilogy and the extended Hobbit trilogy in one huge collection.

Hold me back! Don’t get me wrong, LOTR is pretty freaking cool, for what it is. But come on… do we really need to see more mystical elves, orcs and dragons go on long walks around forests or beat the crap out of each other? I think not.

On top of the main films, there are more than 60 hours of extra footage, including a documentary with extensive behind the scenes clips, all of which features on 30 Blu-ray discs.

Yes, 30! What else could have possibly happened behind the scenes that wasn’t included in the extremely long films?

Fun fact: if you watch The Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers and Return of the King in one sitting it will take you 9 hours 18 minutes. Who needs to see more?

To top it all off, each film comes wrapped in an elaborate fake book casing which is a recreation of the Red Book of Westmarch – the book Frodo and Bilbo wrote The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings in.

Instead of containing words, however, it contains concept art by Alan Lee and John Howe. Of course it does.

So, how many “my precious'” pesos is this box set going to set you back? According to io9, there is a price tag of $800USD ($1098.80NZ) and it is said be on sale from October 4.

It could be a great wee Christmas present for someone you hate.

When Louis C.K. strolls out onto the stage during his current tour, he’ll probably deliver another master class in stand-up. Then again, he might just emerge in a tutu and premiere a new ballet inspired by the Cuban missile crisis.

Don’t laugh – at least that’s what some of our best stand-ups seem to be telling their fans from time to time. In C.K.’s case that has meant turning in a touching performance as a blacklisted screenwriter in “Trumbo” and dropping “Horace and Pete,” an Emmy-nominated web series that re-imagines “Cheers” as a Greek tragedy.

Peers who have also taken left turns this past year include Tina Fey, enlisting as a war correspondent in “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot”; Steve Martin, earning Tony nominations for his Broadway musical “Bright Star,” and Sarah Silverman trading in sarcasm for severe depression in “I Smile Back.”

They’re all following in the shadow of other comics who veered onto unexpected paths – with mixed results.
