Like many child stars, Drew Barrymore paid a high price for growing up in the spotlight – although few paid as dearly as she did. From wanting to befriend her when she was Gertie in E.T. to watching her become the new queen of daytime talk shows, I have always wished her every happiness. As our story on page 14 reveals, she is still dealing with the fallout of her tumultuous youth, but with an admirable openness and vulnerability while giving her daughters the childhood that she was denied. It’s also wonderful to share Renée Zellweger’s happiness as she forms a family with beau Ant Anstead on page 22. Their relationship puts an end to comparisons to the dating disaster zone of Bridget Jones. And, I once had…

who’s news With all the attention on her much-anticipated Barbie movie, director Greta Gerwig welcomed her second child without anyone knowing! Gerwig, 39, revealed last week that she and long-time partner Noah Baumbach had a baby boy – a sibling for their 4-year-old son Harold – four months ago. “He’s a little Schmoo,” Gerwig told Elle UK. “The little guy is sleeping through the night, but I’m still doing that thing where I wake up, every hour to 90 minutes, and just hover. You just keep wanting to look at that baby.” The quiet arrival fits in with Gerwig’s low-key pregnancy, which seemed to be overshadowed by the promotion of the Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling-led Barbie film. Although she announced the baby news on Jimmy Fallon’s show in December,…

who’s news Just a week after her split with husband Dalton Gomez was confirmed, whispers that Ariana Grande has already said ‘Thank U, Next’ are rife. The singer, 30, has been linked to her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, 31. “Ariana and Ethan are dating; however things are fairly new,” a source told Us Weekly of the pair. “Ariana and Ethan have only recently begun seeing each other but they have a lot of fun together and are enjoying each other’s company.” Slater has recently become estranged from his wife Lilly Jay, although it is unclear when the separation happened. A source told ET Online that Grande and Slater “didn’t start dating until both were broken up with their significant others”. Despite Grande and Gomez reportedly parting ways back in January,…

Growing up in South Africa, 49-year-old Yolandi Vermaak had always loved animals. “I longed to be a vet, but such is life, I ended up becoming a project manager instead,” she tells WHO. Her compassion for animals never wavered and in 2013, when her husband Reynier, daughter Kaylor, now 19, and son, Aiden, now 18, emigrated to Canberra, Australia, she got to hold a wombat joey at a zoo in Batemans Bay, NSW. Yolandi was immediately enamoured with the grunting, bulky-framed creature. From then on, Yolandi had a dream to care for wombats. But in a cruel twist of fate, she never imagined that after heartbreakingly losing her beloved husband Reynier to leukaemia in 2016, the animals she loved would help her overcome her grief and heal. “As a distraction…

We rarely get a peek inside the glamorous beauty bags of our favourite celebs, but luckily for us, Margot Robbie has left a trail of crumbs about her skincare routine, allowing us to piece together her daily luxury-meets-pharmacy regimen. From heavenly moisturisers to surprising lip balm substitutes, here’s everything you’ll want to add to your cart immediately. BARE NECESSITIES Robbie swears she never goes to bed with makeup on (what a saint!) and is “pedantic about getting the makeup off” on flights. Her go-to remover? Johnson & Johnson face wipes. They’re gentle enough to remove makeup and impurities, without stripping the skin of its moisture. LIP REMEDY No skincare routine is complete without lip care. And Robbie’s go-to salve? A nipple cream. “I use Bepanthen, which is actually a nipple…

Creed II star Dolph Lundgren has married for the second time, following his revelation that he has just “two to three years” left to live amid an eight-year cancer battle. The 65-year-old actor tied the knot with much-younger personal trainer Emma Krokdal, 27, in an intimate ceremony in Mykonos, saying, “It was finally the right time to celebrate love, life and happiness – in the land of the Gods.” The couple are believed to have started dating in 2019 after meeting at a West Hollywood gym, with Lundgren insisting the Norwegian trainer knew nothing about his acting career. His new wife is not much older than Lundgren’s daughter Greta, 21, and the same age as his eldest daughter, Ida – something he admitted was “strange” to tell them about. “But…

Jamie Foxx has spoken out for the first time since a “medical complication” left him hospitalised back in April, with the actor revealing he went “to hell and back” during his recovery. In the emotional video, the 55-year-old didn’t elaborate on what saw him rushed to emergency but did explain why he had kept quiet since. “I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through,” he shared, adding that he would rather fans see him “laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie”. The actor went on to shut down speculation that his unspecified illness had left him blind and paralysed, but admitted his “road to recovery had some…

Drew Barrymore has been in the spotlight since her first job at 11 months old in a puppy food commercial. She won hearts worldwide as a scene-stealing 7-year-old in E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, and then made headlines as a pre-teen party girl before cleaning up her act and becoming a Hollywood power player. Since the launch of The Drew Barrymore Show in 2020, the daytime talk show host has become best known for her huge heart and deeply empathetic interview style, so she shocked fans on June 6 when she took to Instagram and slammed tabloids who ran with headlines that she “Cannot Wait” for her mother, Jaid, to die. The media had twisted her words from a Vulture interview in which she discussed their complicated bond. “To all you tabloids…

Standing between her boyfriend Ant Anstead and his two older children, Renée Zellweger couldn’t have looked more at home in the stepmum role. The actress, 54, was in the UK spending time with Anstead and his son Archie, 16, and daughter Amelia, 19, with the group getting dressed up to attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed together. Anstead, 44, shared fun photos of Zellweger and his kids from the night on Instagram in the latest serious step in their two-year relationship. “Both are committed long-term”– SOURCE The British TV presenter says his teenagers, who he shares with ex-wife Louise Storey, can “sense” if he’s “happy or not” in a relationship, adding, “Nobody knows you better than your children … you can’t fake it with your kids.” And since they began…

By all accounts, Leslie Van Houten was not only a model inmate at the California prison where she was jailed for more than 50 years, she was “kind” and “thoughtful”, according to former prison teacher Angela Cardinale. “A good person who did a bad thing.” But as a member of the Manson “family”, a cult of murderous hippies who went on a killing rampage over two nights in Los Angeles in 1969, that “bad thing” will never be forgiven or forgotten by her victims’ loved ones. As Van Houten, 73, was released on parole on July 11, taking her first steps of freedom in 53 years, it was clear the pain of her cold-blooded crimes was still raw in the broken hearts of many. “My thoughts are with … all…

From opening Instagram and instantly finding out your attachment style to a friend telling you that they don’t have the “emotional bandwidth” to get lunch, it seems therapy speak is just about everywhere. While our fancy new lingo seems harmless, a series of Instagram stories by Jonah Hill’s ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady is sparking a conversation that psychological language is best left in our psychologist’s offices. The screenshots of messages between the pair, originally sent in 2021, are said to outline Hill’s “boundaries” for his and Brady’s relationship – which include requesting Brady refrains from “surfing with men” and “posting pictures of yourself in a bathing suit”. While Brady highlights the Stutz actor-director’s misuse of the term “boundaries”, these messages have also come under fire from others as a manipulation tactic,…

Other than the obvious reasons of being sustainable and budget conscious, why do you think the demand for pre-loved is growing so much? Recent research by eBay Australia found that 55 per cent of Australians purchase pre-loved fashion to find unique items that enable self-expression. We’ve seen a rise, especially among a Gen Z audience, looking for more environmentally conscious and cost-effective ways to express their own individuality without compromising on style. This has gone a step further with sellers tapping into this demand to turn their own pre-loved fashion passions into a lucrative income source. What are some of your best tips when buying pre-loved fashion? Shopping online rather than just in bricks and mortar stores can often increase your chances of finding hidden gems locally and from overseas.…

Recording my Judge Gina podcast with Housewives Gamble [Breaux] and Pettifleur [Berenger]. When was the last time you lost your cool?

who’s news Hot new couple alert! Russian supermodel Irina Shayk was snapped being picked up by newly single, retired NFL star Tom Brady in his black Rolls-Royce from the Bel Air Hotel on July 24. The pair then drove to a house in Los Angeles and Shayk was spotted leaving the following morning. A People magazine source says “there is a spark” between the photogenic pair who “have been in touch for a few weeks”, adding that Brady invited Shayk, who lives primarily in New York, to “fly out and meet up in Los Angeles”. In early June, Page Six reported that the model, 37, was bringing her A-game while mingling with the seven-time-Superbowl champ at a billionaire friend’s wedding in Sardinia, Italy. “She followed him around all weekend.

who’s news Radio star Jackie O has only just started her first ‘side hustle’ with her best friend, but she’s already recruited megastar Gwyneth Paltrow! Jackie, 48, and long-time pal Gemma O’Neill announced their new venture, Besties, which allows women to spend time with their friends through group holidays and guest speaker events. And Paltrow, 50, will be flying into Sydney in October for a chat with Jackie at their debut event. “She was number one on my list,” she said. “I have always loved Gwyneth.” Jackie O hung out with the Goop founder a decade ago, when she and co-host Kyle Sandilands had dinner with her in New York. “She made us feel like we were her friends,” Jackie O said.…

who’s news Lauren Phillips has revealed she’s set to wed her multi-millionaire partner Paul O’Brien. The radio host and former Weekend Today weather presenter, 41, shared the news live on air. “We had a few days in Rome just the two of us and I thought if he was going to propose, it would’ve been the two of us,” she explained. But the pair then headed to Mykonos where they met up with their A-list pals Chris and Liam Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky, Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso. “He proposed in front of all our friends. I had no idea and then next minute he was down on one knee,” Phillips added. “I don’t think I even looked at the ring. I just hugged him and cried and then…

Days before his passing at age 96, Tony Bennett was still singing at his piano in his hometown of New York City. “His last song was ‘Because of You’, his first #1 hit,” read a statement posted to his Instagram account on July 21. “Tony, because of you, we have your songs in our heart forever.” During a career that spanned eight decades, Bennett, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016, sold millions of records and won 20 Grammy awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. He is survived by his wife, Susan, four children from earlier marriages and nine grandchildren. “From his first performances as a singing waiter in Queens to his last performances in 2021 at Radio City Music Hall, Tony delighted in performing the songs…

HEALTH You’ve already heard about the gender pay gap, the health gap and the housework gap. There’s even the pocket gap in clothes, which explains why women are always juggling their keys with their phone. Until now, you may not have heard about the gender exercise gap, but new findings from the ASICS State of Mind study have highlighted just how many women are affected by it. Globally, women get an average of 40 minutes less exercise per week than men, but the numbers are even worse for Aussies. “Women in Australia are exercising 60 minutes per week less than men,” cricket star and ASICS representative Alyssa Healy says. “As a result they are potentially missing out on the positive mental and physical benefits that exercise brings.” WHY IT EXISTS…

“I love boots and instead of buying black or hard-to-keep-clean suede, I’m searching for chocolate brown leather boots. They break up a moody palette and are a great transitional colour to wear with light wash jeans and dresses when spring comes along.” “I won’t be heading to Europe with the rest of the Aussie sunseekers this year, but I will be taking long weekends here and there. This carry-on from Strand’s in-house brand Nere is just what I’ve been looking for. I love the chic, neutral look and how lightweight it is without compromising on all the bells and whistles you want in a carry-on style case.“ “I’m looking at practical purchases this winter and if La Niña has taught me one thing, it’s to invest in a good brolly!…

With busy lives and diaries bursting, it’s no surprise that slicing into our sleep schedule to cram a bit more in is common. While it can be easy to miss out on a few extra hours, it turns out that having good sleep hygiene and keeping a regular bedtime delivers a better complexion in both the short and long term. We spoke to the experts to learn what we can do to achieve our best beauty sleep. THE NIGHT SHIFT Although it can be tempting to hit “next episode” on your favourite show as the hours creep on, it might pay skin dividends to stick to a regular bedtime instead. “Studies prove sleep deprivation takes a toll on our skin,” says Dr Helen Knaggs, head of global research and development…

MOVIE WONKA For many of us, there will only ever be one Willy Wonka – the one played by the glorious Gene Wilder. But after the trailer for the upcoming origin story of Wonka dropped, we have to say, Timothée Chalamet is looking scrumdiddlyumptious as the magical chocolate maker. And while there’s a huge cast in the Paul King-helmed flick, we suspect Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa might steal the show when it hits cinemas on December 14. MORE INSIDE!
