‘KINDHEARTED Simpson (below left with his family in Sydney in 2014) was “a larrikin, a kind-hearted man,” says Ready, Steady, Cook co-star Peter Everett (below right). WORKING ON FOXTEL’S FOOD series The Best, Ben O’Donoghue noticed his offsider Darren Simpson “physically” wasn’t well. The Irishman’s face was “bloated,” O’Donoghue told the Daily Telegraph, but Simpson brushed off concerns. “He was always cheeky and charming.” Socially, his problems were well hidden. They were shockingly exposed on June 22 with the acclaimed chef’s death at age 46, reportedly of a heart attack after a long battle with alcohol addiction. Left to grieve were wife Julie and sons Angus, 14, and Hamish, 12, plus some of the world’s top chefs. Former River Café pal Jamie Oliver called him “brilliant,” while Michelinstarred Irish cook Richard Corrigan…

THE INSTAGRAM STORY THAT former Bachelorette and radio personality Sam Frost seemed to be telling on June 25 was that she had moved on from final-rose pick Sasha Mielczarek to rumoured beau Dave Bashford, who was seen in a video patting her dog, Rocky, while lazing about in the lounge room. Although Frost and Bondi-based Bashford have yet to address the nature of their relationship, a source close to Frost confirms to WHO: “They are more than friends.” The pair first pulled focus when they appeared close on Australia Day, a month after Frost, 28, and Mielczarek, 31, announced their split. At the time, a rep for Frost told WHO of Bashford, “They are mates, nothing more.” The source agrees that Frost and Bashford “have been friends for a long…

O n May 9 Barack Obama was in Milan joking to a food-industry group about how he fights his wife, Michelle, for wardrobe space in their new home—and causing an internet sensation with the deeply unbuttoned neckline of his shirt. (Next time “Obama’s gonna roll in with his shirt completely unbuttoned, piña colada in hand,” one Twitter user predicted.) But as the former president headed home to Washington, DC with foreign-policy adviser Ben Rhodes later that day, the easy, breezy trip was jolted by alerts from the news apps on the pair’s phones: President Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey during the bureau’s investigation into ties between the Trump team and Russia. While Barack issued no statement on the bombshell, Rhodes was at his side tweeting up a storm: “This…

EMILY MORTIMER as Jane Banks Now a union organiser (in trousers, no less), bachelorette Jane has dedicated her life to prioritising everyone but herself.

DARK SECRETS “I want people to know the truth of what happened,” says Jean Wehner, a student at Archbishop Keough High School (left), where the alleged sexual assault of students occurred. The school was renamed Seton Keogh in 1988 and will close this year. In the days after Sister Catherine “Cathy” Cesnik—a beloved 26-year-old nun and former teacher at the all-girls Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore—vanished near her apartment on the night of Nov. 7, 1969, her younger sister Marilyn Cesnik Radakovic remained convinced she was alive. Maybe, Radakovic thought, Cesnik was struggling with whether to stay in her religious order. “And as soon as she felt better, she would call me ... I kept praying for that,” Radakovic says. “The thought that Cathy was dead had not really…

YOLANDA HADID New York, April 5 “A for effort but not quite right. The zipper-detail boots and jacket are overkill and make her outfit seem dated.” IT’S A WINNER! GIGI HADID New York, Dec. 6 “Gigi can do no wrong in my book. Love the choice of cropped pants to elongate the leg and the oversized glasses. She really made this look chic.” THIS WEEK’S GUEST JUDGE PHILLIP HOLMES Previously based in San Francisco, the fashion stylist’s skill at blending classic styles with trends has seen him work with brands including Zac Posen, Fendi and Oscar de la Renta. He has recently relocated to Melbourne to join Cotton On as brand stylist; cottonon.com SUKI WATERHOUSE Los Angeles, Nov. 30 “I’m feeling the carefree vibes she is sending out with the…

Why is everyone so overtired in the workplace? The modern workplace has led to an increase in cognitive fatigue, where daytime sleepiness is robbing us of our attention and focus, leading to lapses of memory, grumpiness, intolerance and poor decision-making. How do you reignite your daily mental stamina? Get enough sleep. Aim for eight hours a night, take power naps, never skip meals, exercise each morning for 30 to 40 minutes and meditate mindfully for 20 minutes. Try to get outside during the day, into the sunlight, and have quiet time. TOP TIPS to boost mental energy 1 EAT WELL Refuelling regularly with fresh, unprocessed foods (preferably prepared and cooked yourself) is the way to better nutrition and energy. 2 KEEP MOVING Aerobic exercise is the gold standard, but most…

Health challenges have led Kim Kardashian West to turn to surrogacy to expand her family with Kanye West (p. 24) but there are as many reasons to consider surrogacy as there are individuals, with many celebrities candidly sharing their experiences—and appreciation—over the years. Among them, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ricky Martin and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, who welcomed their second child, Faith, via a gestational carrier in 2010. “No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel ... in particular [for] our gestational carrier,” they said in a statement. Hours after revealing the birth of second child Sienna Ivery, in 2014, Ellen Pompeo opened up about the surrogacy experience to Jimmy Kimmel. “This is an incredible thing to do with your life, to give the gift of carrying someone’s child,…

FIVE MONTHS AFTER BUZZ about a possible romance first sparked, Lady Gaga and her talent agent beau, Christian Carino, are now enjoying loved-up holiday getaways. The couple’s relationship has segued from affectionate selfies at the Super Bowl in February and steamy after-dinner kisses in West Hollywood in March, to relaxed summer strolls in the Hamptons in June. Dressed casually—Carino, 48, in black activewear and Gaga, 31, in a Little Mermaid T-shirt and denim short shorts—the couple clambered over rocks and wrapped their arms around each other as they enjoyed a break from work. Love aside, the “Million Reasons” singer has been immersing herself in her socially conscious pursuits, teaming her Born This Way Foundation with Staples for Students to promote positivity in the classroom. Citing Yoko Ono and John Lennon…

WWhen Mojgan Shamsalipoor’s phone rang on June 14, her heart began pounding. “I had butterflies,” says the Iranian refugee, whose worst fears were realised when her Immigration Department case worker revealed that Minister Peter Dutton had chosen not to intervene in her final appeal for residency. Shell-shocked, she burst into tears and rang husband Milad Jafari to break the news. Says Jafari: “It’s not fair that someone who doesn’t know us can make a decision about our future and take away our hope.” The decision has cast a shadow over the young couple’s lives. Once Shamsalipoor’s bridging visa runs out on Dec. 14, the 23-year-old is expected to return to Iran—the country she fled as a teen after being beaten, raped and threatened with forced marriage—or face indefinite detention. “I’m…

Julie Andrews may not make a cameo in Mary Poppins Returns, but the legend—she won Best Actress for the role—has given her blessing to the film. When Rob Marshall, who met Andrews in 1995 while choreographing Victor/Victoria on Broadway, told her that he would be directing this sequel, “She said, ‘Oh, thank God,’ ” Marshall recalls. “And then we said, ‘And we’re thinking of Emily Blunt.’ And she just threw her hands up in the air and said yes.” She did not want to be in film herself, however: “She said, ‘This is Emily’s show. I want her to take this and run with it, because she will be brilliant.’ ” A practically perfect endorsement, naturally.…

Your haircut really suits you. What inspired the change? I enjoy change. Also I’ve learnt to take risks in my life because I try to stay so consistent to who Olivia Pope [her Scandal character] is at work. Has playing that role influenced your beauty philosophy? I have really strayed from fragrance. I have always picked scents to help me develop a character, but I decided six seasons ago that Olivia doesn’t wear perfume. Do you have any fond memories of playing with makeup? When I was a kid, my mum used to put her old makeup into a bin and I would use all her eyeshadow to turn myself into, like, a lion or a puppet! Did you learn any beauty tips from your mum? To drink water and…

FOR A CONVICTED CRIM, IT WASN’T A BAD EXIT. Swapping his prison greens for a $600 hoodie and designer ripped jeans, former investment banker Oliver Curtis walked free from prison in Cooma, NSW, on June 23, and was driven in a Range Rover to the local airport, where his family—his wife, Sydney PR queen Roxy Jacenko, 37, and children Pixie, 5, and Hunter, 3—were waiting on a private jet. Curtis, who served 12 months for insider trading, will work at father Nick’s technology company E-Nome, reports The Daily Telegraph. In March, Jacenko, who reportedly told her children their father was on a yearlong business trip in China, said that “all is fine” with the couple’s relationship.…

New couple KATE BECKINSALE & MATT RIFE The actress, 43, was snapped kissing the 21-year-old comedian outside Villa Lounge in West Hollywood on June 21 (four days later, they were also spotted catching a movie together). “Kate is enjoying her life. She is dating and having fun,” says a source, adding that she has been seeing Rife for a few weeks. “She really seems to like him. She refers to him as an old soul. The age difference doesn’t matter to her.” Beckinsale—mum to Lily, 18, with her ex-partner Michael Sheen—has split from husband Len Wisemen, who filed for divorce last year. The couple were married for 11 years before parting ways in 2015. Model update? MADONNA & KEVIN SAMPAIO Madonna, 58, has reportedly dumped her boyfriend, Aboubakar Soumahoro, and…

“The character jumped off the page and I had an instinct about how to play her” —Emily Blunt The children dangling from balloons overhead are not the most breathtaking thing about Cherry Tree Lane. It’s springtime here, evident from the parasoltoting pedestrians and the hundreds of blush-pink blossoms fluttering on the breeze past five stately Victorian facades—including No. 17, the only one that seems to catch the sunlight just right. The whole street feels familiar, as though whisked straight from the moment when, in 1910, a nanny named Mary Poppins floated in on the eastern wind and changed the world. Standing here, you can’t put your finger on what lies in store, but (to quote a certain chimney sweep) you feel what’s to happen all happened before. Disney’s Mary Poppins…

BACK IN THE WATER On Season 3 of Shark Tank (Tues., 8.30 PM on Ten), Simson vies with four other sharks to invest in new businesses. “She’s fun, quick-witted and a great networker,” says co-star Glen Richards (right). “She’s always up for a laugh. A perfect shark.” Just a few years ago, newly dating entrepreneur Naomi Simson, now 53, and consultant Stuart King, 56, were out walking after dinner in Sydney’s inner west when they happened upon a “For Sale” sign. Although Simson could see that the property had been on the market for a while, she recalls telling King, “I’ve walked past it, I’ve never understood it. It looks really odd.” But then she concluded, “I just think that it needs some love and attention. What a project for…

GLOSSY LIDS “Not a trend for the timid, glossy eyelids are the hottest ultramodern trend for 2017,” says Perdis. To get the look, try a swipe of taupe or beige-hued lipgloss across the eyelids to achieve luminous lids. NATURAL VISAGE “I am loving natural, fresh and uncomplicated beauty where skin becomes the feature,” Perdis says. “Try a fresh base that celebrates and highlights your natural radiance.” Only apply foundation to areas that need it to help achieve a natural, lit-from-within glow. WARM HUES “Colour is big again but in deeper hues, which look great on all hair, skin and eye shades. Think key palettes in rich berries, plum and wine hues mixed with emeralds and forest greens.” Play with colour and accentuate your lips or eyes, or both … there…
