I have a one to one free talking class where the student (housewife) wants to read some kind of article at night and discuss it the following day... can anyone give me some links to such articles?

Shes wanting something lighthearted, rather than current events, news, sports etc...

Yes I will do an internet search but figured if anyone has some experience or ideas here I might as well ask.

Pick an entertainment or "people" / celebrity gossip website.

You can't go wrong with this. I usually hate anything Yahoo but this is cool and usable for EFL. Dumbed down gossip writing with videos. Copy and paste - print the articles. Read and she/he can watch the videos for review....

www.slate.com also has some great articles I have used in the past for talking/article classes. Updated daily.
