After a busy awards season earlier this year when she was nominated for playing a fictional, world-renowned conductor in Tár, and having just wrapped up two projects – with two more currently in the works – it seems Cate Blanchett was in dire need of a little rest and relaxation. And that’s exactly what the actress, 54, got when she flew to Ibiza with husband Andrew Upton, 57, recently. The pair, who tied the knot in 1997, were spotted hitting the beautiful Mediterranean Sea by boat with a bunch of pals on August 18. A sun-safe Blanchett donned a long-sleeved striped cotton dress for the outing, accessorising with white sneakers, sunglasses and a fedora. Meanwhile, Upton kept it casual in shorts, a tee and sandals. Despite over 26 years of…

who’s news In a rose-petal-strewn backyard in Malibu, California, Miley Cyrus wore an off-the-shoulder, ice-blue gown and stood by her mum Tish Cyrus, 56, as she exchanged vows with Australian actor Dominic Purcell, 53. The intimate August 19 ceremony came four months after Purcell, best known for his role on TV’s Prison Break, popped the question, and just over a year after Tish filed for divorce from ex-husband Billy Ray Cyrus for a third time. During their marriage, Tish and Billy Ray welcomed Miley, 30, Noah, 23, and Braison, 29, and Billy Ray adopted Tish’s children Trace, 34, and Brandi, 36, from a previous marriage. Braison and Noah were notably absent from their mother’s wedding to Purcell (who shares four kids with ex-wife Rebecca Williamson), instead sharing Instagram Stories of…

As most parents can attest, the prospect of a hot cup of coffee and an uninterrupted conversation is enough to put a smile on your face. And that certainly seemed to be the case for Lara and Sam Worthington, with the pair – and parents of three young boys – positively beaming as they enjoyed a brunch date on August 15. Joined by a pal at New York wine bar Terra, the Aussie couple appeared carefree as they ate and drank their way through the outing. While Sam, 47, is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars – with 10 projects currently in the works – and Lara, 36, just signing on as the face of quintessential Aussie brand Myer, the couple looked ever-the-New-Yorkers as they sat on the sidewalk. “I don’t…

Celebrity Many believed Britney Spears had found her happily ever after when she wed long-time beau Sam Asghari in a small but celebrity-filled ceremony in June last year. But 14 months later, the singer’s fairytale ending is anything but, with the actor, 29, filing for divorce on August 16 amid claims of cheating and domestic violence. Whispers of a split had surfaced that same day, with TMZ first reporting that Asghari had moved out of their shared home after a “nuclear argument” over rumours Spears had been unfaithful to him. “It’s only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce,” the insider told TMZ at the time. Sure enough, just hours later Asghari had officially filed the paperwork citing “irreconcilable differences” and listing July 28, 2023 as the date…

JEN & JUSTIN Celebrity Decked out in a long black coat, Jennifer Aniston met Justin Theroux for dinner in April at Manhattan hotspot Il Cantinori, with pals Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka. Once inside, the pair happily chatted and embraced before taking their seats at the table. The exes, who tied the knot in a backyard ceremony in August 2015 and announced their split the day after Valentine’s Day in 2018, have famously remained on good terms, frequently shouting out each other over social media and reuniting for gatherings with mutual friends at the Bel-Air mansion they once shared, where Aniston now lives alone with her dogs, Clyde, Sophie and Lord Chesterfield. Sources have told the Daily Mail that their bond has grown even stronger, with Theroux becoming…

Celebrity When Andrew Nixon wanted a wife, he did what all good Aussie farmers do and turned to TV. But little did he expect he’d find his fiancée on Grey’s Anatomy instead of Channel 7’s hit reality dating show. Kate Walsh is now set to permanently settle in Oz as she prepares to make her way down the aisle to tie the knot with Nixon. The 55-year-old star of hit shows including The Umbrella Academy and Emily in Paris says she’s never been happier since setting up home in Perth. “I really love Western Australia … I think nature here eclipses everything. It drives me,” Walsh tells news.com.au. “I like the slowness. It’s really good for me. And then you go back overseas and you’re like, ‘Oh, my God. People…

Crime Carole Fisher thought she had hit the dating jackpot when she met Bob Bierenbaum. A charming, wealthy plastic surgeon who could speak five languages, fly planes and treated children with cleft palates for free, Bierenbaum had all the attributes of the ultimate eligible bachelor. So much so that when a red flag popped up on their very first date, the divorced, single mum pushed it straight to the back of her mind. “When I asked him if he had ever been married before, he was very, very hesitant to admit it. So I joked: ‘Hey, what did you do? Murder your wife?’” Carole previously told Metro.co.uk of their date in 1995. “He then proceeded to tell me a very elaborate story, designed to make me feel sorry for him,…

There’s usually one thing we’re always looking to achieve with our makeup – a natural, healthy-looking glow. And if you’ve heard of skinimalism – the trend that makes skin the focus and makeup second – you’ll know that a radiant complexion is more popular than ever. Someone who understands the importance of skincare in makeup is Terry de Gunzburg, founder of cult French makeup and skincare line By Terry. An instigator in getting makeup to work harder by adding active skincare ingredients to formulations, she admits she’s always “had a skin-first approach to makeup”. Here, we’ve broken down some of her best advice for achieving a healthy glow. TRUST HYALURONIC ACID Investing in a hyaluronic acid formula is always worthwhile because of its ability to retain moisture to the skin,…

The planet of anger and aggression, Mars, is moving into your Love Zone – but may not bring all the love.

Turns out that Sienna Miller’s recent trip to Ibiza wasn’t just any ordinary vacation, it was actually a babymoon. The actress confirmed the exciting news as she showed off her growing bump in a bikini while enjoying some sun and surf on August 21. The child is her first with 26-year-old boyfriend Oli Green. The Anatomy of a Scandal star, 41, is also a mum to daughter Marlowe, 11, who she shares with ex Tom Sturridge. Expanding her family has been something that has been on Miller’s mind for quite a while. She previously revealed she took steps to help ease the “pressure” she was feeling after hitting 40. “Biology is incredibly cruel on women in that decade – that’s the headline, or it certainly was for me,” Miller told…

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are now parents of two. The pair welcomed their second son earlier this month, with the singer, 35, reportedly giving birth in Los Angeles on August 3. And while the private couple are yet to share any details, insiders have told TMZ that the baby’s name starts with an ‘R’, like his big brother, RZA, who was born in May 2022. Rihanna revealed she was expecting while performing on stage at the NFL Superbowl earlier this year. And she later opened up about how her first and second pregnancies compared. “It’s so different from the first one,” she told Entertainment Tonight in May. “No cravings. Tons of nausea. Everything’s different, but I’m enjoying it.” She has also shared how much she is loving motherhood. “I’m obsessed,”…

After being spotted solo in Sydney without her wedding ring amid rocky marriage rumours on her 11th wedding anniversary on August 4, Natalie Portman and husband Benjamin Millepied were spied together attending the final match of the Women’s World Cup in Sydney on August 20. The pair put on a friendly display as they sat in the stands at Stadium Australia along with their son Aleph, 12. They also share a daughter Amalia, 6. The outing comes after French magazine Voici alleged Millepied had an affair. Neither the actress nor her husband have addressed the scandal. “He knows he made an enormous mistake,” a source told People magazine at the time.…

Tribute The show business world is in mourning after losing “TV Titan” and “king of the chat show”, Sir Michael Parkinson. The raconteur passed away on August 16, aged 88. “After a brief illness Sir Michael Parkinson passed away peacefully at home last night in the company of his family,” his loved ones said in a statement. Parkinson, or “Parky” as he was fondly called by friends and fans, will be remembered as being one of the greatest broadcasters in history. His extraordinary TV career saw him interview the world’s biggest stars, including Muhammad Ali, John Lennon and Madonna. And while his interviews ranged from downright hilarious to wildly uncomfortable and sometimes outrageously inappropriate, the journalist often said he had been blessed with incredible interviewees. “I had the best of…

Retrospective When it comes to raunchy R-rated comedies, nothing quite compares to There’s Something About Mary. The flick, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, was the third highest-grossing film of 1998 – losing only to Saving Private Ryan and Armageddon – and became an instant classic due to its provocative humour and hilarious performances from an A-list cast including Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon. With its gross-out gags, many have pondered whether the film could still be made today. But Bobby Farrelly, who co-directed the flick with his brother Peter, has insisted that’s the beauty of the movie. “We wanted to do something more for adults. We weren’t going to hold back,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 2018. “Animal  House was a movie we loved growing…

We’re well-rehearsed on thorough night-time routines for our skin, but what about our hair?

who’s news The stars certainly aligned to watch Margaret Qualley walk down the aisle to Jack Antonoff, with an A-list crowd stepping out to watch the couple tie the knot recently! The actress, 28, and music producer, 39, wed in Long Beach Island, New Jersey on August 19, saying their “I dos” in front of a slew of stars including Qualley’s mum, Andie MacDowell, and sister Rainey. Also in attendance were some of Qualley and Antonoff’s celebrity friends, who span across the entertainment industry. Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum were on hand to congratulate the couple, and also appeared to use the weekend away to enjoy some quality time together. Meanwhile, singer Lana Del Rey and model Cara Delevingne also joined in on the festivities. But the nuptials…

who’s news Actor Ron Cephas Jones, a veteran stage actor best known for his two-time Emmy-winning role as William “Shakespeare” Hill on This Is Us, died on August 19 at the age of 66. The actor, who also had guest roles in Mr. Robot and Luke Cage, had reportedly undergone a double lung transplant in 2020 because of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and was determined to return to work. “The idea of not performing again seemed worse to me than death,” he told The New York Times. “One of the most wonderful people the world has ever seen is no longer with us,” Sterling K. Brown, who plays his son on This Is Us, posted in tribute. “The world is a little less bright.”…

who’s news The Aussie film and television industry has been slowly making a name for itself in recent years, but now two locally produced series have shattered records overseas. Both Netflix’s Fisk and Prime Video’s The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart have been drawing in impressive international ratings on streaming services and have been given high praise by critics across the globe. While the Sigourney Weaver-led drama reached Prime Video’s top five in 78 countries, Kitty Flanagan’s legal comedy made Netflix’s Top 10 in 11 countries – much to the Aussie actress’ delight. “Doo doo doooooo! I’m shamelessly tooting my own trumpet everybody,” she joked on Instagram of the show’s success overseas. “I need to lie down. The excitement has exhausted me (or maybe it was the champagne).”…

Crime After a mum gave birth to premature twins at England’s Countess of Chester Hospital in August 2015, she would regularly leave the maternity ward to drop off breast milk for her tiny babies in the neonatal unit. But on the evening of August 3, when the mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, approached the babies’ room where English nurse Lucy Letby was on duty, she heard one of the boys screaming. “It was like nothing I’d heard before,” she said. “It was horrendous.” It was the sound of unthinkable cruelty in an unprecedented serial killing case. On August 18, Letby, 33, was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder another six at the hospital where she worked in Chester, north-west England. In a case…

It’s a long flight from Madrid to Sydney, but that didn’t stop Queen Letizia from making the journey to cheer on Spain’s team during the FIFA Women’s World Cup final on August 20. And her attendance turned out to be lucky for the team after they graciously beat Britain during a nail-biting 1-0 match. As the whistle sounded and it was clear that La Roja (The Red One) were victorious, the 50-year-old Queen was seen pumping her fist in the air as she jumped up to cheer. Letizia and her daughter Infanta Sofía, 16, then joined the girls on the field, dancing and posing with the trophy. “It’s a joy and it’s exciting to be here to support the Spanish football team,” Letizia told a Spanish TV news team as…

Real life If she was to sit down and read a “how to” guide on succeeding in business, Jane Lu admits that she’s “probably done the exact opposite” to all the expert advice since she started fashion boutique Showpo. Saddled with a $60,000 debt, the accountant quit her day job to start a company in an industry she knew nothing about, all while waking up each morning to catch a bus to work with her mum so her parents wouldn’t find out she’d ditched her sensible career. But being a rule breaker hasn’t hurt the Sydney-based entrepreneur one bit. The ecommerce fashion company she launched in 2010 is now making a massive $100 million in sales each year, and her parents forgave her when she used cash to pay off…

Holidays, weddings, big birthdays and moving house – there are some moments we can’t help but get excited about. But when it’s all over, it’s not unusual to feel a bit, well, let down. It’s known as the post-event blues and it’s something many of us experience. “It is not uncommon that we will experience the ‘blues’ following any major event,” explains Dr Timothy Hsi, senior lecturer in counselling from the Australian College of Applied Psychology. Dr Hsi explains the symptoms of “post-event letdown” can range from feelings of emptiness to low mood, low energy or lethargy, general feelings of dissatisfaction, decreased motivation, boredom or a sense of loss. “It’s not uncommon to hear people make statements like, ‘I need another holiday after this holiday!’” he says. There are a…

ADD A BELT Belts are big right now and a great accessory to switch up the whole vibe of your tailored looks. Rather than buttoning your blazer or leaving it to hang loose, slightly overlap each side of your jacket and cinch it all in with a belt. This will give you shape and create a new feel to your favourite suit. SWAP FOR SHORTS Yes, that’s right, the short suit will be back for spring – especially in a Bermuda short length that almost touches your knees. Update your favourite linen suit by finding shorts in a similar colour and fabric to bring it into the warmer months. TRY LIGHT LAYERS Want to add a little interest to your look? Try layering a simple tank, followed by a cotton…

Reach for a silk or satin shirt when you need an easy night-time look to pair with jeans and a simple set of heels. TAKE CARE Sophie Doyle, founder of The Fable, shares her top wash and styling tips for silk shirts. 1. Hang up your shirt as soon as it comes out of the wash to reduce creases. 2. Steam rather than iron your silks. 3. Silk pairs beautifully with gold jewellery, so pile it on to complete your night-time look. 4. Keep your neckline and sleeves relaxed by undoing a couple of buttons and your cuffs for a more off-duty look.…

What was the last guilty pleasure you indulged in? Just the other night, I think I went through more than half a tub of Nutella while I was watching the IPL Grand Final. I love chocolate, it’s my Achilles’ heel. When was the last time you danced in public? I was in Darwin playing the Bass in the Grass festival. There was a fair bit of dancing going on and I think it was one of my [most] favourite gigs I’ve ever done. What was the last gift you got? It was from Rita [Ora] actually. Rita spent some time at my place down at the South Coast and she got me a gift – which she didn’t have to do – a beautiful candle from Amara Home in Berry…
