FOLLOWING THE INTERNATIONAL broadcast of HBO’s Leaving Neverland documentary, some fans were quick to defend Michael Jackson and reject the accusations of child sexual abuse made against him by James Safechuck and Wade Robson. One fan wrote on Twitter: “Spreading a bunch of lies over a dead person to make money … that makes me sick.” Among those fans to voice their opinion was actress and singer Barbra Streisand who, in an interview with The Times, said she believes the claims made by Robson and Safechuck, and told the publication that watching the documentary “was too painful”. However, the Meet The Fockers star then went on to defend the late singer. “He was very sweet, very childlike,” Streisand said of Jackson. “His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from…

Running around the garden of his foster grandmother’s NSW property, 3-year-old William Tyrrell – dressed in a Spider-Man outfit – was climbing trees and pretending to be a “daddy tiger”. “We heard him roaring around the garden and then I thought, ‘Oh, I haven’t heard him, I better go check on him’ and couldn’t find him,” his foster mother told a triple-zero operator in a call she made 20 minutes after searching for him on September 12, 2014. Four-and-a-half years after that tragic day, the audio call was played to the NSW Coroner’s Court on March 25, the first day of an inquest into William’s disappearance and suspected death. Listening to it again, and giving evidence about the day, William’s foster mother was, says 7News reporter Ashlea Hansen, stoic. “However,…

Accepting an honour for Fashion Entrepreneur of the Year at The Daily Front Row’s Fashion Los Angeles Awards on March 17, Kate Hudson shared that part of the motivation behind her athleisure brand, Fabletics, is to “inspire some people to get healthy and start to think about what matters to them, which is their own, you know, personal journey,” she said. “And we can do it with really cute clothes.” Rocking her tight-red Oscar de la Renta gown, the actress, 39, showed she is well down the road of her own physical journey of losing 11kg since welcoming her third child, daughter Rani Rose (with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa), on October 2, 2018. Hudson announced in December that she was the newest ambassador for WW, the points-based diet program formerly known…

Danny DeVito may be only 1.47m (4'10"), but his career has been plenty big. He’s acted on Broadway, starred in blockbusters, won an Emmy for a classic sitcom (Taxi) and earned new fans for TV’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The secret to his success? “I was always such an odd character,” says DeVito, 74. It helped him become one of the most memorable character actors of all time. None of it seemed destined. Raised in Asbury Park, New Jersey, DeVito was born with a multiple epiphyseal disease, a genetic condition that can result in short stature. But he fell in love with acting and in 1975 landed a part in the Oscar-winning One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. “I was never quite sure what I was doing,” says the…

HEIDI KLUM In 2008, the mo del got some ink to commemorate her vow renewal to then-husband Seal, 56. “We wanted to have our names tattooed together. So, it’s my husband’s name and our three children’s initials in the [three] stars,” she told WHO at the time. After the pair split and divorced in 2012, Klum, 45, underwent laser removal to erase his name from the inside of her righ t arm, but made sure her children’s initials stayed intact. DAVID BECKHAM The former soccer star, 43, has dozens of tattoos dedicated to his wife Victoria, 44, and their children Brooklyn, 20, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 14 and Harper, 7. In 2015, Beckham added another tatt to his already inked-up body – a picture his daughter drew for him. “Apparently Harper…

Leading Australian beauty artisan and official manicurist for Chanel Australia, Jocelyn Petroni, shares her expertise on all the latest in nail health, trends and manicure matters. What are your tips to get nails in their healthiest state? Always follow an inside out approach. So much of your nail health is determined by your diet. To promote healthy nail growth and maintain strong nails, a diet rich in vitamins, calcium and minerals is so important. A key mineral is silicium [silicon], which is like “cell cement” and helps nails to grow faster and be more resistant. Externally, it’s important to care for your nails with specialist treatment products and regular manicures. What are some common complaints? The biggest concern we face in the salon is nail strength, which is evident in…

Can you tell us a bit about Mark? Mark Keighery and I met as teenagers, and we became close personal friends; he was very colourful, dynamic, very funny, good company, warm and interesting. We had a love/hate relationship at times, but us working together was inevitable and I later became the silent partner in Marcs. What has been the key to an iconic Australian label such as Marcs success? It’s simple really, as basic pieces are a wardrobe staple for everyone. Mark’s whole design theory is based on essential basics but with lots of colour. What are your thoughts on the Marcs 40th celebration collection? I love colour, I think today’s designers generally are not brave with colour. I dislike black, other than at funerals, and this collection certainly is…

He’s been acting since he was 8 months old and starred with twin brother Dylan in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Now the 26-year-old is winning new fans as Jughead in Riverdale and hits the big screen this week as a terminally ill teen in tearjerker Five Feet Apart (out now). What made you want to take on this role? It was [director] Justin Baldoni and the nature of cystic fibrosis – an illness that is not in the public eye as much as it should be. [Co-star] Haley [Lu Richardson] and I did extensive research on how to embody these characters. What do you enjoy about exploring a love story? I’m a huge fan of romances. I grew up reading Japanese romance manga, which at the time…

We pick up the morning after the events of the Season 2 finale, and although the Hammonds have staved off one set of issues, new problems arrive on their doorstep … literally. Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant continue to wholeheartedly embrace the absurd as their characters deal with Sheila’s zombie affliction (or is that a gift from God?) with the show staying just the right side of preposterous. Prepare for hearty chuckles. (On Netflix from Fri., Mar. 29)…

As a teenager, Abigail Sorensen began receiving pages in the post from a self-help book, The Guidebook. It promised to change her life. In present day Sydney, Abigail, now a single mum to Oscar and owner of The Happiness Cafe, is invited on an all-expenses paid retreat where she’ll finally learn the truth about the book and its significance.

As the different threads of Abigail’s life are entwined, chance encounters and unsolved mysteries come into focus until she is finally able to come to terms with the past. Magical, quirky…

Jordan Peele’ directorial debut, Get Out (2017), not only delivered a bone-chilling psychological thriller, it dissected the underlying racial oppression running through the veins of America, spearheaded conversations about societal fractures and earned four Oscar nominations. (It would go on to win Peele the Best Original Screenplay award.) So after Peele’s killer success, what does the filmmaker do next? “For my second feature, I wanted to create a monster mythology,” Peele tells WHO about Us (in cinemas now).“I wanted to do something that was more firmly in the horror genre but still held on to my love of movies that are twisted but fun.” The story is set in the present day and follows Adelaide and Gabe Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke) as they take their kids to Adelaide’s…

Prince Harry and Meghan have charmed hundreds of children during their first year of marriage, but they were yet to tackle one challenge familiar to parents everywhere: a room full of kids plied with sugar. On March 11 the expectant parents got a taste of what’s to come when they helped a group of young students make maple syrup candy at Canada House for Commonwealth Day. “How many have you had?” Meghan asked one little boy. “Seven? Oh, my goodness!” Of course, the couple soon turned the excited kids back over to their parents – but not before Harry playfully serenaded the kids with a verse from The Sound of Music: “So long, farewell!” “They feel claustrophobic in Kensington Palace”—family friend In a matter of weeks Meghan, 37, and Harry,…

SOON AFTER WRAPPING THE first season of TV phenomenon Game of Thrones in February 2011, Emilia Clarke felt a headache building while exercising in a London gym. “My trainer had me get into the plank position, and I immediately felt as though an elastic band were squeezing my brain,” describes Clarke, who plays Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen aka Khaleesi. “Somehow, almost crawling, I made it to the locker room. I reached the toilet, sank to my knees, and proceeded to be violently, voluminously ill. Meanwhile, the pain – shooting, stabbing, constricting pain – was getting worse. At some level, I knew what was happening: my brain was damaged.” Sharing her story for the first time in a March 21 essay for The New Yorker, the star, 32, revealed that…

BRITISH NEWS OUTLETS have reported that Kate, Duchess of Cambridge has recently had a falling out with her longtime best friend Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley. “It is well known that Kate and Rose have had a terrible falling out,” a source told The Sun.“They used to be close, but that is not the case any more.” Royal insiders claim Kate has told William that she no longer wants anything to do with Hanbury or her husband, David Rocksavage. “William wants to play peacemaker so the two couples can remain friends, given they live so close to each other and share many mutual friends,” the royal insider continued. “But Kate has been clear that she doesn’t want to see them any more and wants William to phase them out, despite…

Taking to Instagram on March 16, actress Diane Kruger, who welcomed a baby girl with boyfriend Norman Reedus in November, shared a post-workout photo of herself in a bikini top. “Am I showing off? F**k yeah. ’Cause it’s been hard work to get my abs back,” she captioned the pic. “I didn’t think it was possible after having a baby. And certainly not at my age,” continued the 42-year-old. “I don’t have a trainer, but I’ve been committed to get my body back … The female body is AMAZING.”…

Amelia Gartner, managing director of Cedar and Stone, a 100 per cent plant-based skincare company, shares her top tips on how to avoid simple masking mistakes. “Face masks are a great tool to have in your beauty arsenal. They can deliver quick results for all types of skin issues such as irritation, dryness, inflammation and oily skin, and feel like a luxe indulgence when you need a little me time,” says Gartner. To get the most from your mask, avoid these skincare errors! 1. NOT RINSING THOROUGHLY Unless you’re using a sheet mask, follow up your masking session with a double cleanse using lukewarm water to encourage any remnants of the mask to lift off the skin, says Gartner. 2. DIRTY DIGITS “Not washing your hands beforehand is a major…

After hearing so much about an ultra-hip luxury Thai hotel for music lovers, I decided I had to see this property for myself. Thailand’s largest island of Phuket has no shortage of hot spots and high-end hotel offerings to suit your preference, but for an all-out Ibiza-style experience, Baba Beach Club didn’t disappoint. This modern and sophisticated hotel, located in the Khok Kloi area, boasts a range of villas overlooking the pool or jungle – a promising welcome – and after checking in, I was shown to my one-bedroom villa. Opening the French doors and looking out over the illuminated pool, I felt any tension in my shoulders melt away. Mellow house/bossa tunes from the DJ waft over – an immediate hint of what sets this unique Phuket hotel apart…

MELISSA TIMMERS • WAS 107kg • NOW 69kg Before becoming a mum, Melissa Timmers, 29, from Wadalba, NSW, weighed around 72kg, so when she decided it was time to get back in shape, that was her goal.“It was an achievable goal for me but never did I think I would get past that and look the best I have ever been.” Timmers had grown up in the fashion industry and, lacking confidence and constantly second-guessing herself, had always been on fad diets.“I’ve always tried to fit in with these amazing girls that look incredible.” Before signing up to The Healthy Mummy, Timmers wasn’t very active.“I have had gym memberships on and off for years but never found something that I could connect with and understand completely. Healthy Mummy took me under their…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 You will achieve success by sticking to a regular routine, and quietly plodding away at your tasks. If possible, delay activities that involve you in long hours of planning and attention to detail, as your mind may not be on the job. An interesting development concerning home or property matters brings relief. Those heavy and mundane jobs can now be completed. TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 Public relations and competition are your theme this week, and while your energy levels are high, you will be able to impress other people with your tenacity. You may be the centre of attention on the work or social scene, but be careful, as people are inclined to use you. The lure of distant places or scenery will beckon and it’s…

The Irish actor, 50, stars in Project Blue Book (starts Thu., Mar. 28 at 8.30pm; SBS) as Dr J. Allen Hynek, who examined UFO sightings for the US Air Force from the late-1940s on. Were you familiar with this era of US history? Familiar and not. I wouldn’t call myself an expert but it’s been so mined in pop culture and there’s been an enduring fascination with UFOs. I was well into Close Encounters of the Third Kind growing up and had read a few books. I’m not a total sci-fi geek, but I knew who Allen Hynek was and what he did. Not as much as I do now! UFOs were a mainstream obsession for years, but not so much now. Why do you think that is? I would…

… time she forgot a punchline January. I was doing trial shows to work on new material. Each night I’d forget five minutes, but it was a different five minutes every time. By the end of the week, I’d done the whole show, but not all at once. … time she indulged herself I may have been given a massive box of chocolates, that I’d intended to share with my husband and son, but which never made it back home from my show venue. … news story she found completely hysterical Last August, I discovered every Australian is entitled to a free portrait of the Queen, which they can request from their local MP. I’m not much of a royalist, but it did make Christmas shopping a lot easier. ……

… first captured her imagination as a young child The Fairy Tale Treasury by Izawa and Hijikata. I loved the pictures – they weren’t illustrations but photos of delicate poseable puppets, and they looked so real. It was the first time I wanted to walk into the pages of a book. … she loved as a teenager The Sweet Valley High series by Francine Pascal. I was definitely Team Jessica – I always liked the naughty girls. And I returned again and again to A Summer to Die by Lois Lowry, about a girl whose sister died of leukaemia. It seemed to me to explain the unexplainable mystery of death. … that inspired her to write Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin spurred me on to do something about the writing…

Lupita Nyong’o has been racking up accolades since her breakout performance in 2013’s 12 Years a Slave, but there’s really just one person whose praise she craves: her mother, Dorothy. And it was a challenge persuading her mum, who hates scary movies, to see Us. “She shut her eyes and blocked her ears,” Nyong’o, 36, says.“I can assure you that’s not her favourite film of mine. And that warms my heart, because I know she’s my No. 1 fan, whether she can handle it or not. I’m so happy she was there.” Nyong’o has long credited her family’s support for her success. She was born in Mexico City, then returned with her parents to their native Kenya (where father Peter is a politician) when she was a toddler. They encouraged…

MAMA JUNE ON DRUG CHARGES June Shannon, also known as“Mama June”on the US hit reality shows Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Mama June: From Not to Hot, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and a misdemeanour for possession of drug paraphernalia on March 18. The charges come after police in the US state of Georgia responded to a domestic violence call where her boyfriend Eugene Edward Doak, 43, was allegedly heard threatening her life. Officers searched the couple’s car and arrested the pair. A local prosecutor has since confirmed to WHO that Shannon and Doak were both in possession of crack cocaine and a crack pipe.

“I’ve struggled with cocaine in the past. I never went to a place to get treatment. Only one person knows about this ... I have been living in a sober house.” Wendy Williams, 54, bravely announced on The Wendy Williams Show that she has been receiving treatment for her struggle with drug addiction. “I’m going to be honest, bouncing back after having Jacob has been much more difficult than after I had Isaiah.” After giving birth to her second son in January, singer Carrie Underwood, 36, candidly admitted that she’s been too hard on herself when it comes to accepting her post-baby body. “I took off the costume and it felt like my skin was being peeled away. I was very emotional.” After his character Jon Snow was killed off…

CAMBRIDGE KIDS “It’s such a special time to have little kiddies,” Kate – mum to George, 5, Charlotte, 3, and Louis, 11 months – said when asked about Baby Sussex in November. The new arrival will be “really special,” she said. COUNTRY COUSINS Savannah, 8, and Isla Phillips, 7, and Mia Tindall, 5, are the children of Harry’s cousins Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall. “They all seem very close,” says an observer at the recent christening of Mia’s 10-month-old sister, Lena.

AS THE COMPETITION HEADS INTO Super Dinner Parties, a behind-the-scenes romance is set to cause the most explosive feud in My Kitchen Rules history. At the centre of the drama are newly emerging villains Piper and Victor and WHO can confirm the pair began a secret relationship during this time. “Victor and I – he was my best friend on the show,” Piper reveals to WHO. “We had a lot in common. I think both of us – even though we can both be very outgoing people – we also have a bit of a quiet side to ourselves, and when you’re around so many outgoing people, it was nice to just step away and hang out with somebody who you could just be yourself with and just be normal…

Almost two weeks after the horrific terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has conceded that squeezing in family time between meetings with the Muslim community, comforting grief-stricken families and pushing through gun-law reforms has been difficult. “Actually, at the moment, my time with them probably wouldn’t be quality because I feel such a draw to be focused on doing what’s needed for those who have lost loved ones,” Ardern, who is a mum to 9-month-old daughter Neve, told The Project’s Waleed Aly. “My family have come to me. I have my parents helping at the moment with Neve as well. So I’m the last one that anyone should be worrying about.” It’s this selfless approach to the heartbreaking task Ardern, 38, has inherited while steering her…

“I’m here to help people ”— Jackie Gillies W alking onto the set of WHO’s photo shoot, I expected the same routine as at countless shoots before – I’ll sit with the star in hair and makeup, we’ll move to styling, she’ll strike a pose for the camera and we’ll end the day with a one-on-one interview. But on this occasion, our talent – Jackie Gillies, the popular reality-TV star and psychic medium – managed to turn my working day into an experience that I’ll never forget. With a notepad and dictaphone in hand, I greeted our guest Gillies, who, just like on The Real House Wives of Melbourne, appeared with a burst of positive energy. I thanked her for coming, but before she could even ask my surname, Gillies…

Suzi Quatro remains one of the music industry’s true trailblazers. Since bursting onto the scene in the ’70s plucking a bass guitar in her now trademark leather catsuit, America’s “first lady of rock” has topped the charts across the globe with hits such as “Can the Can” and “Devil Gate Drive”, selling a whopping 55 million records in the process. It’s a feat made even more impressive given that she was breaking new ground as the first female bass player to carve out a successful solo career. “I had no role model when I set out,” the rock legend and grandma tells WHO. “So I ended up creating this space for women … I didn’t mean to, but I did.” While today there’s a slew of strong female performers scaling…
