One thing we love to do here at WHO is bring readers exclusive shoots with our favourite celebrities, and for this issue it was my turn to get out of the office and catch up with Rob Mills and Georgie Tunny (page 26) to hear about their wedding plans and how they’ve learnt to juggle their busy lives to make time for each other. A lot of work goes into these shoots ahead of time but at the end of the day, you’ve got to get the shot. And photographer Phillip Castleton always does. His portraits of the delightful couple capture just how happy and in love they are. And from the‘It’s a Tough Gig But Someone Has to Do It’file, WHO introduces you to some of the brave –…

Natalie Bassingthwaighte has been in the public eye for two decades, stepping into the spotlight with her Logienominated role on Neighbours in 2003 before embarking on a thriving music and hosting career. Still, gossip surrounding the end of her 13-year marriage to her former Rogue Traders bandmate Cameron McGlinchey brought an added layer of stress. “Having public interest, I won’t lie, was terrifying from the get-go,” she told Stellar magazine. “Since it first happened, I was waiting for someone to say something. And it just felt like I wasn’t ready. The hardest part was getting a phone call to say, the media know … they want a comment. I felt very overwhelmed.” Now, she added, she’s ready to fill in fans on a happy personal update.“I’m in a beautiful…

Mickey, 36 Why is taking part in the calendar important to you? It’s a lot of fun. I like that the calendar brings awareness of animal conservation. What qualities do you find most attractive in someone? Someone who is fun and loves excitement and someone that can also take a joke. What’s your idea of the perfect date? A day on the beach with my girlfriend Ella and my son Paris in Mykonos. My family is everything to me. What’s your proudest achievement? Without doubt, my son. The temperature is rising and our pulses have spiked. No, we’re not blaming El Niño and the end-of-year hustle, it’s this crop of frontline workers who’ve cranked our thermometers into overdrive. Here, WHO introduces you to seven of our favourite hotties from the…

JULY “I recently travelled to three countries in three weeks, and this carry-on case is all I took. I specifically chose the expandable version as I knew it would give me the wiggle room I needed when buying new things along the way. It’s a very sleek case with sturdy wheels and secure zips and locks, so I knew my belongings would always be safe.” SAMSONITE “I’ve always aimed to be a light packer, but find it hard to cull for any trips over three weeks. So for my next adventure I’ve chosen a larger-style case so I can fit everything in! These can often add at least 5kg in weight. However, this Samsonite suitcase only weighs 3.1kg with no compromise on durability. It does come at a more luxurious…

What drew you to bar work? How did you first get into the drinks industry? I didn’t plan to be a bartender. I started in a nightclub in Townsville during university, doing bottle service on weekends. I didn’t even know the difference between whisky and Jim Beam, but I loved serving people. I later worked in a casino cafe and moved up to the sports bar. I slowly learnt more and fell more in love as I continued working in the industry. I joined Savile Row as a barback, absorbing skills from an amazing team. I gradually moved into the bar, focusing on spirits where I started to really hone my craft. What do you like most about being behind a bar? I really enjoy the“dance”– that connection between your…

How would you sum up the talent on this season of Dessert Masters? It’s the first time that I’ve witnessed this amount of talent within one kitchen. They all exceeded my expectations! Have you learnt anything from the contestants? Are you taking home any tips? Absolutely. Thanks to them, I‘ve learnt so much about the Australian food heritage. It’s going to be nice to bring some of it back to the US. How would you sum up the Australian approach to desserts compared to other countries? It is oddly French in my opinion, while using local ingredients. I love the complexity of the creations that were displayed during the competition. You’ve been described as the King of Chocolate – how do you get that title and how do you make…

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s relationship has often been held up as the ultimate example of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ for couples who choose not to tie the knot. Not so fast. It seems that a wedding might still be on the cards, even after all these years. “I’ve been going with my girl for 40 years,”Russell, 72, told Extra on November 17. “[Marriage has] come up in conversation whereas it never used to.” His would-be bride-to-be sounds more on the fence. “Why should we get married? Isn’t that a better question?” Hawn asked CNN’s Chris Wallace in July. “Because we have been married and because when it doesn’t work out it ends up to be a big business … It’s always ugly … Somebody has to…

Dean McDermott is, in his own words, going to spend the rest of his life making amends for the breakdown of his 17-year marriage to Tori Spelling back in June. “I took something that was really beautiful, and I just tore it down year after year, day after day,” the 57-year-old confessed during a no-holds-barred chat with the Daily Mail. “Tori as a person is a beautiful, kind and loving soul. She’s generous to a fault. She puts everybody before herself.” So, what did the father-of-six actually do? And why hasn’t he seen his children, Jack, 25, Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11, and Beau, 6, for five months? His battle with the bottle and prescription pills, he explained. During their time together, McDermott admitted he would fly…

She was recently dubbed the “world’s most overrated celebrity” by Donald Trump, but fans of Kim Kardashian would beg to differ. The 43-year-old is not only arguably the biggest reality TV star, but also an incredibly astute businesswoman and entrepreneur – a fact that was celebrated as she graced the cover of GQ magazine on their annual Men of the Year issue. “Kim is a boss babe,” wrote one fan online. With two beauty lines, several perfumes, an energy drink, a mobile game, and a private equity fund to her name – not to mention her Skims label (her most lucrative of side hustles), which is currently valued at over $6 billion – it’s obvious that Kardashian knows her stuff when it comes to business and has the work ethic…

As Cameron Nugent pounds the pavements and roads stretching 150km from inner city Melbourne to Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, the strength and inner beauty of one woman will fill his heart and mind. On November 22, Cameron Nugent, 48, a writer and filmmaker, laced up his runners at the park bench in Prahran where he first shared sushi with Skye Santos, the woman who became his wife only five weeks after they first met in 2010. Cameron then began a non-stop 24-hour fundraising solo run from the park and out through Melbourne’s western suburbs, heading for the coast and, eventually, Lorne on the Great Ocean Road. It’s there he has spent the past eight years single-handedly building the bespoke home that he and Skye dreamed of making together. Sadly, Skye never…

You could almost hear the collective cry of cheers when the SAG-AFTRA strike reached its official end on November 9. After 118 days, it wasn’t just fans who were excited for Hollywood to wrap its hiatus but its stars as well, with many stepping out for their first red carpet appearances in over four months. Margot Robbie was the first cab off the ranks, the actress-turned-producer arriving at the Los Angeles screening of Saltburn on November 14. Clad in a chocolate brown Schiaparelli sheer corset and wide-legged trousers, the 33-year-old stunned as she waved to fans and posed for photographers. Just weeks after his ex Britney Spears’ bombshell memoir was released, Justin Timberlake put on a brave face to attend the special screening of Trolls Band Together at TCL Chinese…

On November 17, Taylor Swift posted a devastating update to her social media.“It’s with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,”Swift wrote ahead of her first of three ErasTour concerts at Estadio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Ana Clara Benevides, 23, had arrived at the stadium in the morning on a day when temperatures hit around 40 degrees and fainted before suffering a cardiac arrest.“I have no words to express my pain,” her father reportedly told Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo. Swift handed out water bottles from the stage as she performed that night and hours before her second show, she postponed the concert due to extreme temperatures. “The safety and well-being of my fans, fellow performers and crew…

One day after singer Cassandra “Cassie”Ventura filed a shocking federal lawsuit in New York accusing her ex Sean “Diddy” Combs of rape, sexual slavery and domestic violence, both parties announced they had settled. “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control [over],” she said in a statement. In Cassie’s initial complaint, she described Combs as“vicious, cruel, and controlling”and who“asserted complete control”over her personal and professional life, including accusing the star of severely beating her as well as plying her with drugs and alcohol and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched. Diddy’s lawyers rejected the claims as “offensive and outrageous”. “Mr Combs’decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the…

Glen Powell is so hot right now, as a glance at the photoshoot for the December 2023 issue of Men’s Health shared with WHO shows. But it is his sizzling chemistry with Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney that has really been setting tongues wagging of late. In previews for the rom-com, which will be released in cinemas on Boxing Day, it’s clear that Powell and Sweeney light the screen on fire. It was their antics once cameras stopped rolling, though, that thrust the pair into the spotlight. Flirty images of the Euphoria star and her leading man while sightseeing Down Under during breaks from filming in March and April, alongside a cosy appearance together at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 24, fuelled speculation that their on-screen romance had…

Married to arguably one of the biggest celebrities of all time, Priscilla Presley has long had a fickle relationship with fame. “Living with Elvis Presley, people think, ‘Oh how wonderful, it’s great, it’s Elvis Presley,’ but I went through the ups and downs with him,” she told Piers Morgan on November 3. “When you are living with someone so famous, and you have been through it with them, it’s that part of privacy that is hard to give up, it’s hard to share.” In a new movie, Priscilla (set for Australian release in January 2024), Oscarwinning writer-director Sofia Coppola sheds a novel light on the couple’s controversial dynamic from Priscilla’s point of view, including addressing Elvis’ pill popping, infidelity and erratic temper during their six year marriage. “I was very…

DOLLY PARTON GODDAUGHTER: MILEY CYRUS “Dolly is not only my idol because other incomparable career – she’s also my role model because of her steadfast morals and values. At her core, she is the definition of a humanitarian,” Miley Cyrus wrote of her godmother, Dolly Parton for Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2021. “She may be my fairy godmother, but I think she’s that to everyone else, too. Iam happy to share her with the world.” The feeling is mutual. “I love Miley … I’ve always loved her since she was little and I knew she was special,” Parton told Marie Claire of Cyrus in 2020. “She just had a light about her. Her sparkle, and her smile, and her eyes were always full of wonder.” DAKOTA JOHNSON…

On December 28, Gypsy Rose Blanchard will walk out of prison after serving seven years of her decade-long sentence for the murder of her mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. But in a shocking twist in the tragic case that put Munchausen syndrome by proxy in the spotlight, living in jail is the only time that Blanchard, 32, has ever really felt free. “Now I’m so much more freer,” Blanchard told US TV show 20/20. “The prison I was living in before with my mum, it was like I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t have friends. Over here, I feel like I’m freer in prison than living with my mum. [I can] live like a normal woman.” In July 2016, Blanchard pleaded guilty to arranging for her then secret…

Wholesome, versatile ... and often sadly overlooked, pulses and legumes haven’t always received the praise they deserve. However, as the price of living continues to rise, it might be time for these cheap and cheerful health heroes to take centre stage. PULSES VS LEGUMES Essentially, a pulse is the seed of any plant that belongs to the legume family (which includes peas, beans and peanuts). The word legume can refer to any part of the plant, but we often refer to legumes and pulses interchangeably. Whatever you call them, nutritionist Michaela Sparrow from The Longevity Remedy says that legumes are plant-based wonders that are brimming with essential nutrients like fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals. “They are naturally low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice…

INSTANT FRIENDS Green says she and Garner hit it off immediately when they first met.“We had a coffee and really got along. It just clicked,”says Green. Now with two films together, Green says she hopes to complete a“spiritual triology” with Garner. Melbourne-born director Kitty Green, 39, knows first-hand how a fun night out in a bar can suddenly turn into something more menacing. To make her point, her new thriller The Royal Hotel sees American backpackers Hanna and Liv (Ozark’s Julia Garner and Game of Thrones’ Jessica Henwick) venture into the outback – working in a remote pub to pay their way back home. So, do you have any backpacking stories of your own? I did so much backpacking through Europe and all around. The script blends everything together so…

For decades, Liz Hayes has been a familiar face on Australian TV screens, from her early years as a news reporter to high-profile roles on Today and 60 Minutes, and her recent work as host of Under Investigation. It’s an impressive career that she discusses in her new book, I’m Liz Hayes: A Memoir – but not one she imagined as a child in regional New South Wales. “Growing up, we didn’t even have a television, so I wasn’t about to have this dream at all,”Hayes, 67, recently told 60 Minutes. As well as recounting her many media highlights, the memoir also delves into the darker side of fame, such as the scrutiny given to her personal relationships and her three divorces before she turned 40. “You’re reading about yourself.…

When did you last dance in public? OMG! All the time. I’m surprised I haven’t been filmed dancing like a complete dork in the street when I’m going for a walk with my dog. Dance like no-one is watching! What was the last meal you cooked? I can’t cook, but I can bake! I recently baked a double batch of ‘piparkakku’, which are Finnish gingerbread cookies. But they’re thinner so they snap when you bite into them, and gosh they’re good. When was the last time you stayed up late? No matter how hard I’ve tried I can’t make myself into a morning person, but all of a sudden the evening rolls around, and I have all the energy in the world and it’s 2am. What are you binge-watching? Life…
