Where do you turn when your comfort show suddenly becomes the source of sadness? That’s the question we were asking in the office as we came to grips with the news that beloved star of Friends, Matthew Perry, 54, had passed away. For so many of us, the hit feel-good ’90s sitcom has been like a cosy blanket or a warm embrace from, well, a friend, to be leant into when it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. Joey, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Monica and, of course, dear Chandler were always there for you. We now know that for Perry, the show was anything but comforting, as seeing it reminded him of the depths of despair and addiction he was in while filming it. He…

For almost six months, TV presenter Sarah Harris has been batting away rumours that she is secretly dating TV vet and host Dr Chris Brown, which, she admits, isn’t all bad. “He’s a delightful human being, and it’s flattering because he’s really handsome, and you want to be linked to someone who’s really handsome and lovely,” Harris, 42, told Stellar magazine on October 29. Truth be told, she added, she doesn’t have the time for romance. Since January, she’s been dividing her time between hosting The Project in Melbourne and co-parenting her sons, Paul, 7, and Harry, 4, with her ex-husband Tom Ward in Sydney. “When I’m in Sydney, I’m with my boys to the point of, they sleep in my bed with me,”she explained to Stellar. “If I was…

Madison McGhee didn’t have very long to get to know her beloved father, John Cornelius, who died when she was just 6, but there are things about him she’ll never forget. “What I remember is his humour, charm, and protectiveness,” she tells WHO. “His sense of humour is still one of my favourite things about him.” On July 11, 2002, J.C. as he was known, was shot in the head in the doorway of his Ohio home. Twenty-one years later his case remains unsolved. For years, Madison was led to believe that her dad died of a heart attack, finding out the truth when she was around 18. Now 28 and working as a TV producer in Los Angeles, she was inspired to take matters into her own hands after…

Being asked how you talk to yourself might seem a little bit loopy, but it’s actually extremely important to have a constructive and supportive stream of self-dialogue. Dr John Demartini, human behaviour specialist and founder of the Demartini Institute, explains how negative or selfdepreciative dialogue can be detrimental to your confidence, resilience and self-esteem. WHAT EXACTLY IS SELF-TALK? Your self-talk is the internal dialogue that you have with yourself throughout the day and night. “For example, if you miss a deadline that you or others may have imposed and think, ‘I’m so disorganised’ – that’s self-talk,” says Dr Demartini. “Don’t think of your self-talk as necessarily ‘good’ or ‘bad’, it’s quite simply a way of keeping you accountable to living in alignment with your true highest values and offers you…

WHO’S THAT GIRL? Kourtney Kardashian as sister Kim. Paris Hilton as Britney Spears. Lizzo as Tina Turner. With Hollywood’s SAG-AFTRA strikes affecting what costumes celebrities could wear to their Halloween parties this year, the stars were required to get a little more creative.

Following the release of her new memoir, The Woman in Me, there was way more than one Britney Spears hitting the town on the weekend before October 31, with Paris Hilton and Jessica Alba both wearing ensembles inspired by the singer. “Icons support icons,” Hilton, 42, wrote under a snap of herself wearing a blue flight attendant costume, as per Spears in her 2003 ‘Toxic’ film clip.

As a veteran of the industry, there’s not much that can surprise Sonia Kruger. But on this year’s Big Brother: House of Love, the 58-year-old admits she was caught a little off guard. “This particular season, I’m in the room for the evictions,” she explains to WHO. “And Big Brother confiscates the contestants’ clothes before an eviction, so I don’t know who was more freaked out about that – them or me!” Donning “very small” swimsuits and speedos, the TV host insists the result was “just disturbing”. “The boys, because they’re self-conscious, they’re sitting there with cushions on their lap so they actually look like they are naked,” Kruger jokes. “It’s hard to concentrate on the questions that I’m trying to get out when I feel like I’m overdressed for…

While the scope of the 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually seems ambitious, following 10 loosely criss-crossing storylines set in the weeks leading up to Christmas in London, writer and director Richard Curtis told journalist Diane Sawyer in 2022 that the message of the film is simple. “I think when you get it right, films can act as a reminder of how lovely things can be,” he said. “And how there are all sorts of things which we might pass by, which are, in fact, the best moments of our lives.” Two decades on, audiences are still feeling the love, with the equally heartbreaking and heart-warming film morphing into a beloved contemporary Christmas classic. “I don’t think any of us expected it to become a phenomenon,” Keira Knightley told Entertainment Weekly…

She’s starred alongside some of Hollywood’s best actors, but having spent the last few years writing and directing her first feature film, 2022’s Emily, Frances O’Connor was itching to get back on screen. “It’s really kind of fun to step back in front of the camera,” she tells WHO of her one-episode stint in SBS’s new anthology series, Erotic Stories.

When was the last time you danced in public? Every time I get on stage, although some would argue what I’m doing hardly classifies as dancing. What was the last gift you got? A packet of very cool Beatles guitar picks from Abbey Road in London. What was your last TV obsession? Dear Child on Netflix. I was glued to it. Now I’m back watching Seinfeld – it never gets old. When was the last time you were starstruck? I once bumped into Bono from U2 at around midnight on a zebra crossing in Dublin. He was standing right beside me and I was lost for words and just crossed the road with him not saying a word. When was the last time you declared, “Never again!” Sadly, it was…
