When the WHO team are planning content for the mag, there is at least one story that really gets us talking in our morning news meeting. This week it was the revelation that Friends star Matthew Perry had a secret relationship with Julia Roberts back in the mid-1990s. Could we be any more shook?! Read all about their fling on page 8. Our senior writer Penelope Clifton interviewed Magda Szubanski recently to chat about her new ABC series, Magda’s Big Health Check. I love how refreshingly honest the star is, and perhaps my favourite quote of all is when Magda reveals she’s “done the cabbage diet – they’re horrible and unmaintainable”. Couldn’t agree more! Check out Pen’s interview with the Kath & Kim star on page 26. Despite…

who’s news Australian media’s mass exodus of favourites like Carrie Bickmore and Chrissie Swan has left fans scratching their heads, however it’s Kate Ritchie’s departure from Nova Entertainment’s national drive slot that’s come as the greatest shock. But her reasoning shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. “This past year has been incredibly hectic and full-on for both me and my family,” she told listeners, weeks after she was caught drink driving in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, where she lives with her daughter Mae, 8. “I have had much change and increased stress in my life, like many of you, in a short space of time. And it has taken its toll. But still I am so proud that our Nova show, with Tim [Blackwell] and Joel [Creasey] and the team, is…

Celebrity Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles appeared tense on a date night in Los Angeles on October 19. A source told Daily Mail that while out with friends at Pace restaurant, “They barely exchanged a glance during dinner.” A stony-faced Styles then accompanied Wilde to see the band Wolf Alice play at The Wiltern theatre. “He wants a quiet life”— SOURCE The outing follows rumours surrounding the chaotic timeline of the start of their relationship in January 2021. “Olivia is happy that Harry is around. All the drama is a lot and definitely affects her,” a source tells People. For Styles, too, the pressure is mounting. “He likes to live a carefree, happy life. Olivia has been stressed about [the drama] and it affects him, too.” A former nanny of…

At first sight, the two women laughing and hugging on the street in Notting Hill, London could’ve passed for any ordinary pair of best friends, albeit ones who can afford a long lunch at the neighbourhood’s exclusive eatery, Chucs. But these ladies who lunched are far from ordinary. Princess Eugenie, 32, is 11th in line to the British throne. Camila Alves, 40, a successful model in her own right, is wife to A-list actor Matthew McConaughey. Eugenie is cultivating quite a coterie of celebrity friends. Demi Moore, Cara Delevingne and Liv Tyler were guests at her star-studded 2018 marriage to Jack Brooksbank. But it wasn’t common knowledge that she’s also close to Alves. “They seemed to be great friends,” a diner at the restaurant said of their lunch date. Perhaps…

Perhaps it was a case of ‘you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone’. Maybe it was the prospect of forking out millions in legal bills to finalise a billion-dollar divorce that made them think twice about going their separate ways. Or, as some cynics are now suggesting, was the divorce about-face all just fodder for their upcoming TV show? Whatever the case, just a few short weeks after Jennifer Flavin, 54, filed divorce papers to end her 25-year marriage to Sylvester Stallone, 76, the couple are officially back on. Recently spotted on a shopping spree together with two of their daughters in tow, both parties were once again wearing their wedding rings. On October 13, they attended a Ralph Lauren fashion show in California with two of their…

Each morning, Matilda Brown heads to work at The Good Farm Shop, the online food service she co-founded with husband Scott Gooding in September 2021. There, in a small warehouse nestled in the Northern Beaches of New South Wales, she picks and packs carefully curated orders of produce and meat sourced from seven family owned farms, readying them for delivery straight to people’s homes. Once done, she brushes up on concepts such as greenwashing and biodynamics to create the newsletters and videos that will spread the meaning of those terms to her customers and beyond. For the youngest daughter of Australian film legends Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward, the marketing aspect of her newest venture may be the most natural. “When I put a camera up in front of me,…

From the struggle of getting ready in the morning to the daily commute (not to mention coffee runs, lunch runs and perhaps a quickie gym session), it’s not surprising that many people are ditching the crush of office life for a more flexible style of working – on a full-time or part-time basis. But this new relaxed pace has come with a trade-off, because research shows that many of us are also getting less physical activity. In a study by Stanford University (US), 40 per cent of people who work from home full-time said they get less exercise than they did before the pandemic, while 65 per cent said they were more sedentary. “Working from home has changed the way we live our lives in one way or another,” says…

Tip For narrow feet, choose an ankle tie-up or strap style to keep your feet secure. Tip If you want height, pick heels between 5cm and 7.6cm to stay comfortable on your feet all day. Tip To complement bold prints and patterns, try a shimmery metallic heel to make your outfit pop. Tip For wider feet, look for styles with a square toe to fit your toes and forefoot comfortably.…

UP YOUR MOISTURISING Ask any glow-giving makeup artist for their foundation step-by-step and moisturiser will most definitely be involved. Glass skin genius Nikki Wolff starts every tutorial by applying moisturiser before any base makeup, really working it into the skin with a quick massage. If you’re in a rush, try mixing your moisturiser into your foundation. It will create a more sheer, hydrated finish in a flash. The same goes for face oils, if they take your fancy more. Don’t forget to apply a hydrating serum under your moisturiser, too. CREATE CREAMY CHEEKS If you want wet-look glowing cheeks, ditch your powder blush for a cream or liquid. Makeup artist and creator of the ‘dewy dumplings’ phenomenon, Nam Vo, takes it one step further by mixing cream blush and a…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Slowing down the pace will help you see clearly. Facing your fears is one of the best (though rarely the easiest) ways to solve problems life brings. Another is to improve your ability to effectively communicate. Rather than bringing more factors in to play, what can you eliminate? Less is more when it comes to arriving at solutions now. TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 The cosmic weather brings thunder and lightning to your Relationship Zone. No-one likes to hear the relationship weather forecast looks dark and stormy. What we do forget, though, is that after the storm the sun peaks through the clouds and everything feels fresh. Don’t hold back if you want sunny days ahead. GEMINI MAY 21–JUN. 20 Do you like the way you currently…

the hit list Comedian Billy Eichner is best known for shouting questions at unwitting and, at times, unwilling contestants on the game show, Billy on the Street. But in the groundbreaking Bros, the first Hollywood-backed rom-com featuring gay men in the lead roles, we see Eichner – who also co-wrote it with director Nicholas Stoller – in a whole new way. Luke Macfarlane plays Eichner’s love interest, and the film sees the pair navigate a new relationship and learn to trust. WHO caught up with the jet-lagged duo, who have been touring the world promoting the project, in Sydney. Eichner says, “The film’s characters need to admit they want love, which is hard to do in your 40s and you’re set in your ways.” Was the chemistry between the two…

the hit list Almost 10 years ago, Celia Pavey immediately captured our attention thanks to her spine-tingling audition and performances during the 2013 series of The Voice. Placing third as part of Delta Goodrem’s team that year, Pavey soon parlayed that exposure into an acclaimed career – performing as Vera Blue – that continues to this day. Now the Sydney-based artist, whose signature ethereal vocals over kaleidoscopic electronic sounds have won her a legion of fans the world over, is back with the release of her second album, Mercurial. “I’m nervous. It’s scary putting out an album,” Pavey tells WHO. “But I’ve just had to tell myself that I can’t be the only person who listens to these songs forever!” Pavey, along with long-term collaborators Andy and Thom Mak (her…

What was the last road trip you took? It was a long time ago now. It was in 2015 in Canada and we went from Calgary to Vancouver over a week. Last online purchase you regretted? Some bootleg pants. They looked awful on me. Last book you read? Andre Agassi’s autobiography, Open. Last thing you learnt about yourself? I’ve remembered how much I love to cook. Running a business is constant work, but slowing down from that I remember how much I enjoy it. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? A night out with my friends at the piano bar and dancing all night. Last time you lost your cool? When people interfere with your job. I just quietly get angry about that. What was the last gift you got?…

Alec Baldwin is the luckiest guy in the world – just ask him! He’s loving his new role as a father of seven. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…” the actor, 64, wrote in a social media tribute to his tribe, while his wife Hilaria shared photographs of their growing family, which included their baby daughter, Ilaria. “Who’s luckier than us? I love you. All … of you,” Alec commented alongside the snaps. The family’s beautiful posts were in stark contrast to another Alec shared ahead of the first anniversary of the death of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer killed in an accidental shooting on the set of their film, Rust.…

Chrissie Swan is making moves, too. And it looks like she’s leaving her Chrissie, Sam & Browny breakfast radio show for Nova Entertainment’s little sister station Smooth FM. According to Daily Mail, one of her co-hosts wanted out of the network, while Swan was keen to keep a position at the station. “Chrissie is loved at the station and management consider her top-tier talent, so they are not letting her go,” an inside source told the news site. Swan herself told fans, “For a woman who talks for a living, I can’t find the words to express what this job and experience has meant to me. It has been the greatest experience of my life.”…

If you think Elle Macpherson’s new boyfriend is familiar, you’d be right. Macpherson and Doyle Bramhall II debuted their relationship at Paris Fashion Week last month, following her split from disgraced former doctor and anti-vaxxer, Andrew Wakefield. Bramhall famously dated actress Renee Zellweger from 2015 to 2019, after first meeting at the University of Texas in the ’90s. Fast forward to 2022 and the “spiritual” American is very happy with the Aussie model, 58. “Elle and Doyle have known each other for a while, but their friendship recently turned romantic,” a source told New Idea. And it’s full steam ahead. “It’s getting serious. Elle travels the world with Doyle and already knows his two adult daughters. He worships her and is very supportive of her work in the wellness space,…

Rumours of a feud between Pugh and Wilde stemmed back to an alleged falling out between the pair while filming Don’t Worry Darling and intensified during the film’s promotion cycle. “It is shocking to see so many untruths about yourself traded as fact,” Wilde told Elle. “Florence had a really wise comment that we didn’t sign up for a reality show. And I love that she put it that way, because it’s as though the general public feels that if you are making something that you’re selling to the public, you somehow have accepted that your life will be torn to shreds by a pack of wolves. No, that’s actually not part of the job description. Never was.”…

Supermodel Heidi Klum has always had a tight bond with her eldest daughter Leni, 18, particularly since she’s followed in her mum’s footsteps in the modelling world. “I’ve accompanied my mum to sets for as long as I can remember and been photographed on the street for as long as I can remember,” Leni said in an interview with Vogue Germany. “And even if most wouldn’t describe my childhood as normal, for me it was. I think my mother did a pretty good job there. And that’s why I now feel so ready to take this step.” Heidi, 49, shares daughters Leni (whose biological father is Italian businessman Flavio Briatore) and Lou, 13, and sons Henry, 17, and Johan, 15, with her ex-husband, singer Seal. The kids are also close…

The Brown family have owned their farm for about 40 years since Rachel and Bryan bought it while filming The Umbrella Woman together. “They were filming in that area and fell in love with it,” Matilda says. “It was more just for us to go and visit. It was a beautiful little place to go.” It has about 300 head of cattle with a full-time manager running it.…

1. SUITING For a second year in a row, spectators are choosing a more sophisticated approach to their looks. A bright suit, or more recently an elegant three-piece ensemble, is a winner and did we say comfortable, too? Pair with simple accessories, like a headband, and the best part is you’ll wear it again outside the spring carnival – either together or separately. 2. ALL THE TRIMMINGS Racegoers will step back in time for a moment with all the classic accessories making their way back into Fashions On The Field. Gloves, whether they be sheer or leather, are big and work with anything from a suit to a midi dress. Hosiery is also another statement-making trend taking centrestage this year, so embrace those mini hemlines and style with an interesting…

What’s your favourite thing about this season of Love Island Australia? There are so many twists and turns in it. Some of the bombs have never been done in any Love Island around the world, so there’s drama but with comedy and a lot of love in it as well. It’s pretty special this season and I think being back in Spain, there’s something about travelling. The chemistry is there because it’s like holiday romance vibes. I just felt good. And you know when the crew are really invested that it’s a good show. Who wouldn’t feel more loved-up in the European sun? That’s it. Getting out of the rain here, and it was so warm and beautiful there. What about you? Did you get time to enjoy yourself? I…

who’s news Attending the Hollywood premiere of Halloween Ends, Jamie Lee Curtis – in a blood-red Ralph Lauren gown – reflected on the legacy of Laurie Strode, the character she’s been playing in the horror franchise since she was 19 years old. “I can’t believe that my legacy, way after I’m gone, except for through children, will be that I never gave up, and I think that’s the most important message all of us can share in every aspect of our lives, always and forever,” she told the audience, who gave her a standing ovation, at the TCL Chinese Theatre on October 11. “Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.” The following day, Curtis, 63, was feted by her family, including director husband Christopher Guest and their daughters…

who’s news Congratulations are in order for Mandy Moore and her husband, Dawes rocker Taylor Goldsmith. “Ozzie is here!” she began her Instagram announcement, which was accompanied by a gorgeous photo of the trio in the delivery room. “Oscar Bennett Goldsmith arrived a little late, but with much aplomb (and an easier/speedier delivery than his big brother, much to the delight of his parents). Every adage is true: our hearts have doubled in size and the immediacy of the love is astounding. He is beyond words and we are so grateful for our family of four!” Little Oscar is a younger brother to August, who arrived in February 2021.…

Kim Kardashian has finally addressed her ex-husband’s anti-Semitic rants against the Jewish community. More than a week after Kanye West made the indefensible and vitriolic comments on social media and in interviews, Kardashian said via Twitter, “Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric toward them to come to an immediate end.” Since West’s rants, white supremacists have backed the rapper with Nazi salutes, which coincided with Kardashian’s 42nd birthday and a three-hour dinner meeting she had with Ivanka Trump, who converted to Judaism when she married high-profile Jew, Jared Kushner, in 2009. But to Boy George, Kardashian’s week-long silence was deafening. “I’m appalled that Kim Kardashian hasn’t come out and added her voice to…

Emmy-winning actor Leslie Jordan has died aged 67. The Will & Grace, American Horror Story and Boston Legal star is believed to have died instantly when he crashed his BMW in Los Angeles on October 24. “The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” a family rep said in a statement. “Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times,” they added, referring to Jordan’s rise on social media during the pandemic. Will & Grace star Sean Hayes said his heart was broken over the shock news. “Leslie Jordan was one of the funniest people I ever had the pleasure of working…

Royals After two years of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly airing their grievances against the royals, Meghan Markle has suddenly changed her tune. Gone is the griping about life in dreary London, with the duchess instead enthusiastically praising the “love and support” she and Harry received while they were in the UK for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. In a new interview with Variety, she also surprisingly declined the latest opportunity to make barbed comments about her husband’s family, with the Hollywood magazine reporting that she worried it would be a “distraction” from their mourning. It’s a far cry from an interview she gave just weeks earlier to The Cut, in which she mused she never signed an NDA so she could “say anything” – a comment that most courtiers…

Magda Szubanski is the first to admit she might not be a typical poster girl for great health. But her new series, Magda’s Big Health Check, challenges some facts and fallacies with diet, exercise and illness. “Before doing the series, I was feeling a bit stuck in a hole. I mean, I’ve tried f--king everything [to lose weight] short of having gastric bypass surgery,” Szubanski, a former Jenny Craig spokesperson admits to WHO. “I’ve really, really tried. And I’m starting to realise how complex the factors for me are.“ The much-loved Kath & Kim star acknowledges there has long been a public interest in her own health and wellbeing, but she wants this series to debunk some myths about what ‘healthy’ looks like. “I have an autoimmune scenario and you’ve…

BLONDE “I truly believe she was very close to us,” de Armas tells WHO of Monroe’s spirit. “I think all of us felt so much respect and responsibility to do good to her, and to honour her.” DEEP WATER “They had great chemistry from the start,” a source told People magazine of co-stars de Armas and Affleck. “There was an instant connection.” KNIVES OUT De Armas was a standout among the A-list ensemble, including Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Chris Evans, Don Johnson, Toni Collette and Christopher Plummer.…

MIDI MOMENTS If you’re looking for a new style for a race day, make it one you know you’ll wear more than once. A long-sleeve midi dress in a neutral colour is a great place to start, as you can wear it casually with sandals or with heels at your next Melbourne Cup lunch. SHORT STYLES Stockings are trending so pair a short cocktail dress with a sheer stocking for a ladylike touch. Add pointed pumps and a mini bag, and you’re set for Ladies Day.…

WHAT IS HAIR POROSITY? When it comes to achieving the glossiest, most healthy curls, understanding our hair porosity is important as it identifies how easily hair absorbs and retains moisture. “The porosity of your hair affects how well oils and moisture pass in and out of the cuticle, the outer most layer of your hair,” explains Amanda Tua, founder and creative director of Amanda Tua Hair in Sydney. “Hair with high porosity can absorb the most moisture, but it’s unable to hold onto this moisture. When your hair has low or very little porosity, it can be hard to get moisture into your strands. However, when it does, it’s able to retain long-lasting moisture, which helps to keep it from looking dry and damaged.” HOW TO TEST HAIR POROSITY AT…

ALBUM MIDNIGHTS TAYLOR SWIFT On Midnights, Swift tells the “stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life”. Her fans approve.
