Celebrity dramas are endlessly fascinating to me – which is probably why I’ve worked on entertainment magazines for more years than I care to remember. (Hint: the internet did not exist when I started my first magazine job!) Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s nasty break-up has made headlines for years now, but the latest accusations levelled at Pitt by his former wife are beyond shocking. Read all about their latest battle from page 12. While we’re bringing you all the biggest celebrity stories this week – which includes Mila Kunis opening up on her marriage to Ashton Kutcher (page 28), former child star Jennette McCurdy revealing how she finally broke away from her controlling late mum (page 22), and Aussie actor Rodger Corser telling WHO about his surprising…

Kanye West has become known for being outspoken about his controversial opinions, but his most recent rants have seen him face widespread backlash. After posting conversations between himself, friends and family, including Diddy and former sister-in-law Khloé Kardashian, Instagram restricted the Grammy winner’s account after he violated the social media platform’s rules and guidelines. He then allegedly had a tweet removed after he posted a message that reportedly said he was going to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE”. He wrote, “You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.” The posts came days after West caused a stir by sending models wearing ‘White Lives Matter’ shirts down the runway during his Yeezy show at Paris Fashion Week. When asked…

Gisele Bündchen has reportedly hired a divorce lawyer, after rumours have been swirling for months that the supermodel and her seven-time Super Bowl champ husband, Tom Brady, have hit a rough patch after 13 years of marriage. Brady was reportedly hoping his wife would be in the crowd for his first home game of the season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but she was a no-show. Instead, the NFL icon’s 9-year-old daughter Vivian and 12-year-old son Benjamin were both in attendance, as was his 15-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with ex, Bridget Moynahan. Bündchen’s notable absence comes amid reports that the pair are living apart after disagreeing over 45-year-old Brady’s decision to continue to play professional football, only six weeks after announcing his retirement in February 2022. “Gisele is…

It’s been 25 years since beloved romcom My Best Friend’s Wedding was released, and actress Julia Roberts has nothing but love for the star-studded cast. “None of us knew each other before we made the movie, and we just had a really great chemistry,” she told E!. “It just worked. I mean, we all really liked each other.” In the film, a young Roberts stars as food critic Julianne. When best friend Michael (Dermot Mulroney) announces he’s getting married to Kimmy (Cameron Diaz), Julianne realises she’s in love with him. Speaking to People TV in 2019, Roberts said the film’s honesty could have been what audiences loved so much about it. “The alchemy of the four of us together and the city of Chicago, and the story that we were…

BEAUTY Ready for your best hair day yet? Well, you’ll want to fine-tune your scalp care routine. Products designed specifically to nourish the scalp have become beauty’s biggest craze lately – and for a very good reason. “The scalp is the bedrock of hair growth as the hair follicle is a function of the skin,” says trichologist and Philip Kingsley brand ambassador, Lisa Caddy. “Each follicle has its own blood supply and is sensitive to changes, and in particular, to the scalp environment, especially an unhealthy one. A clean scalp is a healthy scalp and this results in a healthier head of hair.” SCALP SIGNS TO WATCH Before rushing out to purchase new products, grab a mirror and take a close look at your scalp to see if you’re dealing…

When photos surfaced of Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis, both 57, shooting scenes for And Just Like That... on the streets of New York City on October 5, fans couldn’t help but wonder what the buzzed-about series has in store. “Season 2 is about resilience and rebound and laughter,” SJP spilled to Entertainment Tonight. “And more of our cast members who we love.” John Corbett finally returns as Carrie’s carpenter ex, Aidan Shaw, after he caused a stir by falsely claiming he would be in Season 1. “He actually reached out very kindly, because he’s nothing if not a gentleman, and apologised for doing that as a joke,” SJP said on Watch What Happens Live. “I thought it was kind of delightful and fun.” The second season of And…

She also explained how, after meeting at a dinner party in 2013, George became a…

Reality TV Rodger Corser is one of Australia’s favourite actors, and his genuine charm and sense of fun has led him to his latest venture,“the game master” of new show The Traitors. Not only is he hosting, he’s “playing a character” and loving every minute of it!

Approximately 55 Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer every day – that’s more than 20,000 people each year. One in seven women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, meaning you or someone you know could be affected by this disease. October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so there’s never been a better time to brush up on your knowledge and awareness. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Medical oncologist Dr Belinda Kiely explains that the symptoms of breast cancer depend on where the tumour is and how quickly it’s growing in the breast. “Most people diagnosed with breast cancer are diagnosed with early stage disease, where the cancer is contained in the breast and the lymph nodes in the armpit,” Dr Kiely says. “Many people will have no symptoms…

When it comes to the health of our planet, there’s no time to waste. Right now, there are more than five trillion pieces of plastic on or near the ocean surface – and an estimated one-third of it comes from beauty and personal care products. While tossing an empty shampoo bottle or face cream tub in the bin might feel like the proverbial drop in the ocean, every decision we make about our beauty buys matters. “The only solution for [solving issues with waste] is circularity,” says Emma Lewisham, founder of her eponymous skincare line. Hers is a brand that cares deeply about closing the loop and creating packaging that’s highly covetable and also sustainable – in an achievable way. Here are the brands taking sustainability and packaging responsibility seriously.…

Keep calm and look fabulous should be Great Britain’s motto going forward, after its best and brightest stepped out for the 66th BFI London Film Festival this month. Woman of the moment Florence Pugh turned heads at the premiere of her new film, The Wonder, in a feathered pink gown by her go-to designer, Valentino. “Unbelievable craftsmanship went into the making of this gown,” the 26-year-old gushed over the creation that made her feel “elegant” and “alive”. She continued, “Thank you for making me feel my best, for filling me with confidence and love. I appreciate it all.” Since Pugh split up with her boyfriend Zach Braff, 47, earlier in the year, Hollywood’s newest It girl recruited her grandmother, Pat, to be her plus one.

who’s news In a case that shook Hollywood, actor Alec Baldwin has reached a settlement with the producers of the movie, Rust. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot dead on the set of the film last year and a wrongful death lawsuit was brought to Baldwin, as he was the one who pulled the trigger on the revolver during a rehearsal. The lawsuit will be dismissed and under the deal, Matthew Hutchins, the late creative’s husband, will serve as executive producer on the movie when filming resumes in January. Baldwin’s lawyer Luke Nikas praised the conduct of everyone involved as they tried to uphold “the specific desire to do what is best for Halyna’s son”. “We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the resolution of this tragic and painful situation,”…

Celebrity Jennette McCurdy’s memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died, has been lauded a “literary masterpiece” and “something incredible”, thanks to the former child star’s unflinching determination to tell her traumatic story about growing up with an abusive mother, Debra, who was obsessed with Jennette being a famous actress, forcing her to take on acting jobs and extreme diets, or “calorie restriction”. She also took the young actress’ wages from her. Debra even insisted on physically washing Jennette in the shower until her mid to late teens, using her breast cancer diagnosis as an excuse for the daily “examinations” while bathing. “That was the hardest part to write about,” she said during an episode of Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. “I would kind of write the premise of each vignette and…

Real Life Looking at her vibrant blue hair and wide smile, it’s hard to believe Jas Rawlinson survived more than her fair share of trauma in her 37 years. Enduring close to a decade of family violence, losing her father to suicide and being sexually assaulted by a man she trusted, it could be enough for many to give up hope. Yet, the determined mum of one has overcome the odds and used her experiences as a catalyst to work for those without a voice. A public speaker, advocate and book coach, she’s penned a memoir, The Stories We Carry, to provide a lifeline for those battling the same demons. “The way I help people is through my words,” Rawlinson tells WHO. “I felt a deep need to share my…

the hit list Let’s talk about sex. That’s what Chantelle Otten is asking her fans to do – and she’s going viral. The sexologist has teamed up with Vodka Cruiser for The Solo Project to break down the stigma around female and femme masturbation and self-pleasure. “My role as expert ambassador is to help push the conversation further by providing education and an expert perspective on this important issue,” she tells WHO. So, why is self-pleasure such an important issue? Well, there are a number of reasons, Otten says. “There is a prominent stigma around female and femme masturbation, which has led to feelings of shame and guilt. Shame can riddle our sex lives and our overall self-esteem.” This is where talking about sex comes in. “The more we talk…

the last word When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Catching up with my little sister in London in June, when we were reminiscing about our childhoods. Last book you read? Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. Absolutely brilliant, sad in the middle, then brilliant again. Last thing you learnt about yourself? I’ve decided that I no longer walk into a room full of people I don’t know and wonder if they like me. Now I wonder if I’m going to like them! (laughs) Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? I bought a Bubble O’Bill [ice-cream] at the servo the other day, while I was filling up the car with petrol. Even though it was the middle of winter, I’d forgotten what a fabulous sugar hit they…
