After 20 seasons, Kourtney Kardashian may have wrapped filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians for good, but fans are still staying tuned to her soap opera-worthy life. Eagle-eyed followers have been keeping tabs on social media flirtations between the eldest Kardashian sister, 41, and her longtime friend and neighbour, Blink-182 rocker Travis Barker. On January 23, things kicked up a notch when Kardashian and the drummer both shared poolside views of Kris Jenner’s holiday home on their respective Instagrams. “They’re in Palm Springs together,” a source finally confirmed to WHO’s sister publication People magazine. “They’ve been dating for about a month or two.” From the outside, this latest development may seem left of field, especially for fans who have been holding out hope for a reconciliation between Kardashian and her…

When news broke back in October that Pitt had split with Nicole Poturalski, 28, a source told Page Six the romance“was never all that serious”. But after the model was snapped in Germany on January 11 with a fuller figure, it led to speculation that it soon could be.“If Nicole is pregnant, there’s a chance it could be Brad’s,” an insider tells Us Weekly. Poturalski has an open relationship with restaurateur and the father of her 7-year-old son, Roland Mary, 68. And while nothing has been confirmed about a baby on the way, says the source,“there’s certainly a lot of buzz about the possibility”.…

Bella Hadid “People think I got all this surgery or did this or that. And you know what? We can do a scan of my face, darling,” the model, now 24, said in a 2018 interview with InStyle magazine. “I’m scared of putting fillers into my lips. I wouldn’t want to mess up my face.” Blake Lively Facing surgery speculation, the 33-year-old actress dismisses the talk instead of denying it. “It’s the way you address any rumour,” she once answered. “People want to talk. They want to create negative things about you and your lift. You can’t let them affect you.” Megan Fox The actress rejected the idea of lip fillers in 2011. “I will say for people who question the authenticity of my lips, you can clearly see that…

It’s been 33 years since Jennifer Grey first flung herself into the arms of Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing – and the actress has faced her share of dramatic ups and downs since playing wide-eyed romantic Baby Houseman in the hit film. After rhinoplasty surgeries in the early ’90s changed her look, she says casting directors stopped calling. “I went in the operating room a celebrity and came out anonymous,” she has said of the effect on her career. But no-one puts Baby in the corner for long! In 2010 she recaptured the hearts of millions by winning season 11 of Dancing with the Stars, not long after having a cancerous growth on her thyroid removed. Now she’s newly divorced from actor Clark Gregg after a 19-year marriage (they share…

In June 2011, seven months before turning 90, Betty White appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman to share her secrets for a long and happy life. Among them: “Make a nightly appointment with Dr Johnnie Walker.” And more succinctly: “Try not to die.” Now, after her 99th birthday on January 17, no-one is more cheerily optimistic than Betty Marion White. Born in 1922 in Oak Park, Illinois, she first dreamed of becoming a forest ranger, a profession that didn’t allow women at the time. The Forest Service’s loss was Hollywood’s gain, as White turned to radio and television, launching a career that has spanned eight amazing decades. A year shy of the century mark, White offers the following sage advice: “Don’t take yourself too seriously,” she says. “You…

When it comes to my hair: I’m low-maintenance. What’s important to me is healthy hair, a good cut and colour, and a textured, wavy, effortless style. I visit Mat Johnson from the Biolage team [Sebastian is an ambassador for Biolage] for my cut, colour and style. On the red carpet: I love a glammed-up version of what I do every day to my hair, which is a messy wave. Beauty to me means: Being confident with who you are – that’s what really makes you glow. Women who inspire me: My younger friends who are finding their way; older friends who are veterans in their field and keep getting better; working mums; my mum; and women supporting each other. My morning skin routine starts with: Cleanser. Then I apply two…

“As much as I love working out in a class, I don’t always enjoy the mad dash of rushing to get there on time. So I was intrigued to try out 12RND, which is a circuit training club with no fixed timetable. You start whenever you want – simply wait for the green light and jump in. There are 12 rounds altogether, including six boxing rounds (you’ll need wraps and gloves, which are available for purchase).

And because 12RND’s coaches were there to guide me every step of the way, I still felt like I was getting the benefits of…

Chardonnay is a complex and polarising grape that is worth exploring. Fans of this varietal can’t get enough of its buttery, vanilla flavours, while naysayers adamantly refuse to try the wine at all. Although it may have fallen out of favour due to the excess of poor quality chardonnays in the ’80s and ’90s (remember ABC? Anything but chardonnay), there is a new wave of Australian chardonnays that have clearly defined who they are. The idea of a“typical” chardy is a myth. Flavours vary based on climate, with cooler areas producing wines with higher acidity and lighter body, while warmer regions can produce the in-your-face, oak-bomb flavours most associated with the wine. If a pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc is more your wine style, try an unoaked lighter chardonnay from…

Last time I faced my fears I’m terrified of bears. My wife, Genevieve, and I took our kids on a road trip to Yellowstone, so I went to a survival store and bought three or four bear sprays and attached them to my belt. She was like,“You look like an idiot.”But you never know. Last thing I learned about myself How much of a homebody I am.

1 Ben’s out with the old It can be hard to know what to do with your ex’s stuff following a break-up. And unfortunately for Ben Affleck, he was left with a life-sized reminder of Ana de Armas following their split. Shortly after news broke they had parted ways, a man was seen throwing into the trash a large cardboard cut-out of the Cuban beauty out the front of the actor’s Brentwood mansion.

It’s been 10 years since Adele released her record-smashing album 21. And as she reflected on the milestone on social media on January 24, the British singer remarked on what a whirlwind it has been. “It’s crazy how little I remember of what it was like and how I felt a decade ago,” she shared. Today, Adele’s new life in Los Angeles is unrecognisable from her “depressed” life in 2011, when she penned the album while living in London at 21. And after finally agreeing on her divorce settlement with ex-husband Simon Konecki, 46, on January 21, and shedding an incredible 45kg, the 32-year-old vocal powerhouse is ready to start living her best life, find love and get back to work. The past year has seen the Grammy winner retreat…

“Everything’s really exciting and really fun and new. So we’re loving every moment of it”–HANNAFORD Things don’t tend to go according to plan when it comes to newborns, and that’s certainly the case for new parents Simon Pryce and Lauren Hannaford. “He was sleeping peacefully and now he’s just been crying his eyes out, wanting a feed,” Pryce, otherwise known as the Red Wiggle, laughs when WHO catches up with the pair. It’s been two weeks since the birth of their son, Asher William, and the new parents are naturally a “little bit tired”. But from the sounds of Asher’s contented sighs in the background, it seems Pryce, 48, and his fitness professional wife, 34, have already got this parenting thing down pat. “So far he’s been pretty consistent with…

People magazine’s reigning Sexiest Man Alive is single no more! On January 10, Black Panther star Michael B Jordan and his new girlfriend Lori Harvey took their relationship to the next level when they posted photos together on Instagram. “She has tried a different approach”– SOURCE “They have dated for a few months and spent all the major holidays together in November and December,” a source says of the actor, 33, and 24-year-old Harvey, a model and daughter of US Family Feud host Steve Harvey, who adopted her and her two siblings after his 2007 marriage to her mother, Marjorie Bridges. “Lori seems very happy.” Indeed, in one of the photos Jordan posted, the new couple smiled at each other in a close embrace, while they continued the PDA in…

We have a rather serious obsession with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s locks. So serious, in fact, that any strand strategies we can employ to get anywhere near the star’s levels of sleekness, smoothness and shine, we will add to our haircare routine immediately – without question! So, when the man behind the mane – HW’s long-time hair stylist Christian Wood – informed us that our evenings should, in fact, play host to a designated nightly hair regime, our ears pricked up. Here’s his guide to the simple albeit effective pre-slumber ritual to ensure silky strands in the morning … WHY DO WE NEED AN EVENING HAIR ROUTINE? “Self-care is the biggest topic right now on social media, and I think it’s safe to say that most women have an amazing skincare routine…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Last year showed us that friendship is not something to take for granted. As of this week, you have great stars for getting some face to face time with the people you’ve been missing but haven’t managed to see yet. (Also for misunderstandings with friends. So watch that!) Be mindful of foot-in-mouth when you reunite. TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 Gaining a new perspective on life is a high priority now. Consider whether you can actually take a mini-break or at least plan and book a holiday. Your desire to escape, or to study, will probably be rather overwhelming now. Make your wishes come true.

Her 2020 track ‘Hyperfine’ slayed in Triple J’s recent Hottest 100 countdown. She’s getting recognition internationally and now Georgia Flipo, aka G Flip, is the face – and feet! – of Volley’s fourth Wear It With Pride campaign. In a chat with the Australian brand’s website, singer-songwriter G Flip explained why she was compelled to take part. “Coming out made the biggest impact on me,” the 26-year-old explained. “I was able to be my full 100 per cent authentic self and it felt absolutely euphoric. It made me dream bigger, see brighter, laugh harder and smile bigger, too.” The ambassador and self-confessed sneaker freak adds that she’s worn the brand for as long as she can remember.“I have fond memories of playing four square and basketball in my international pink…

From the time they started dating, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have continually contended with social media’s dark side. In 2016, Harry confirmed his relationship with the former Suits actress for the first time when he released an unprecedented statement griping about the “outright sexism and racism” of social media trolls and web article comments. Since stepping down as senior royals, the pair have only amplified their outrage about harmful online habits. In October, Meghan opened up in a podcast interview about the “almost unsurvivable” hate she has faced, noting she had been told that in 2019 she was “the most trolled person in the entire world – male or female”. Now the personal has turned political. In a recent Fast Company interview, Harry shared how his outlook on social…

Angelina Jolie was spotted on January 16 dressed head to toe in her signature all-black, spending a subdued Saturday with daughter Zahara. The pair shopped at Target and flicked through magazines at a paperstand before waiting in line at Starbucks. The sighting is the latest in a string of recent low-key family outings by Jolie, who has seemingly left behind much of her glamorous former life. “Angie has very little in the way of a social life and very few celebrity friends,” a source tells Us Weekly. “Other than her children, she doesn’t really have anyone else.” Ever since she burst onto the world stage as an uber-talented actress, the world has seen many iterations of Jolie. From a blood vial-wearing, brother-kissing wild child, to a mother-of-six and humanitarian, as…

Madonna After the singer posted a series of smooth-faced selfies to celebrate her 62nd birthday in August 2020, Aussie singer Katie Noonan made news with her scathing reaction. “It is so so very sad to see women I admire submit their faces to plastic surgery/fillers/botox,” she wrote. Madonna herself has stayed relatively mum on the subject. “Is plastic surgery for me? I don’t know,” she said back in 2004. In the wake of surgery speculation in 2019, she coyly alluded to the talk (but made no denial) in an Instagram post. “Desperately Seeking No One’s Approval …” she wrote, referencing her 1985 movie Desperately Seeking Susan. Tori Spelling While her extremely smooth face says otherwise, the former Beverly Hills 90210 star has only copped having two surgeries in her lifetime.…

Shawn Mendes’ life has been a whirlwind since he rose to fame in 2015. With massive hits like ‘Stitches’ and ‘If I Can’t Have You’, plus a nonstop touring schedule, Mendes cemented his bona fide heartthrob status, and his ascent showed little signs of slowing down. But when the coronavirus pandemic hit the US in March, the star, 22, retreated from the spotlight to quarantine with his girlfriend and ‘Señorita’ duet partner Camila Cabello, 23, in her native Miami. “The silver lining was having some real time to settle for a minute,” says Mendes, who was raised in Pickering, Ontario, by mum Karen, a real estate agent, and dad Manuel, a salesman. “I spent a lot of time attempting to cook and just hanging out with Camila, reading, catching up…

THE PAUL HOGAN SHOW The comedy series, which ran in Australia from 1973 to 1984, showed “Hoges” playing characters like Donger, a beer-chugging suburban dad. CROCODILE DUNDEE Made on a $10 million budget, the 1986 action comedy became Australia’s highest-grossing film of all time, earning $328 million. THE VERY EXCELLENT MR DUNDEE Hogan made his first film in 11 years (now streaming) because of his friendship with director Dean Murphy: “He won’t let me retire!”…

“The LAPD didn’t give a damn about Sam Cooke,” claims Norman Edelen, one of the few men of colour on the police force at the time of Cooke’s shooting. Ultimately, he says, it was a matter of race. “The attitude was, ‘A Black man was killed at a whorehouse’ … The LAPD were not interested in pursuing a thorough investigation.” But the murky details gave rise to decades of speculation. Some believe Elisa Boyer was a prostitute trying to rob Cooke. While there’s no direct evidence, Boyer was arrested on prostitution charges shortly after Cooke’s death and in 1979 found guilty of second-degree murder following another shooting. The $5000 Cooke was allegedly carrying the night of his death was never recovered. Others have theorised the FBI could have been involved…

ALWAYS WARM UP Just because no-one can see you doesn’t mean you should skip this part of your workout – especially if you exercise in the morning. “As boring as it may seem, it will boost your performance,” says Adala Bolto, personal trainer and founder of ZADI Training. “It also helps prevent injury. A five- to 10-minute walk will do the trick, as will dynamic stretches like lunges.” BE ACCOUNTABLE With no-one else around, it’s up to you to be your own coach. “To make sure you’re getting an effective workout, you need to push yourself just outside of your comfort zone,” says Tim West, exercise scientist and co-founder of 12RND. “Try to complete a few more reps in the set time, or hold that plank for a little longer…

Despite hosting new golfing game show Holey Moley, Sonia Kruger admits she barely knows one end of a club from the other! “I’m one of the worst golfers ever,” she tells WHO ahead of the show’s launch. “The first time I was asked to play, it was for a celebrity tournament. It was pouring rain; I looked like a miserable, drowned rat and this guy said to me afterwards, ‘Pretty tough out there, huh?’ I was like, ‘Yes, you think?!’ Then I looked up and it was [golfer] Greg Norman!” Years later, Kruger, 55, is encountering Norman once again – he’s Holey Moley’s resident golf pro. “I haven’t mentioned the last time we met to him,” she laughs. Instead, the two are too busy focusing on the new show that,…

The idea for Ashley Audrain’s debut novel came after she spent a lot of time in hospital with her newborn son. In The Push, she tells the story of Blythe, a new mum to daughter Violet, who feels something is wrong as soon as she holds her baby. “My curious mind wandered to an even darker place: ‘What if a mother had a child she didn’t like, or couldn’t love?’” she tells WHO of her inspiration. And the tale seems to have struck a chord with women everywhere – it’s been translated into 34 languages! Audrain, 34, is hoping the book’s success will challenge the idyllic perception about motherhood. “It’s important to challenge those myths in books and on-screen in order to create conversations among people about what it can…

“LOL that’s just my face!!!! for the 500 millionth time … I have never done botox or any injectables or surgery!” Jennifer Lopez, replying to a troll on Instagram who said she has had “tons” of botox. “I’ve readjusted all the mirrors in the house so they look like when you’re taking a selfie from up above, because I can’t even stand to look at myself in the mirror” Blake Shelton, on hoping to lose [4kg] before his wedding to Gwen Stefani, on his Apple Music Country’s Party Barn Radio with Luke Bryan. “I’m not saying it was a disaster, but the fact that we did not have to go to the emergency room was just an absolute miracle” Kyra Sedgwick, on husband Kevin Bacon giving her a bikini wax,…

DEATHS Larry King, the long-time host of CNN’s Larry King Live, has died at the age of 87. King had been hospitalised with COVID-19 in late December and was recently moved to intensive care, however an exact cause of death has yet to be revealed. “For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larry’s many thousands of interviews, awards, and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster,” a statement read.
