Hello all! Confession time: I have a case of the post-holiday blues right now. Last week, I was lucky enough to take a trip over to New Zealand, where I thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking scenery of Queenstown. The highlight? A brilliant day spent cycling (on electric mountain bikes, no less) past some seriously impressive snow-capped mountains and gorges – oh, and we may have stopped at a winery for a cheeky vino at the end as a reward. On the way, I even saw some daredevil get strapped to a bungee cord and launch themselves off a bridge in what some may call an act of adventure and I would call an act of madness! They seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves, though. It’s taken a couple of days to get…

Kylie Jenner can’t always get away with going under the radar, especially when she is alongside her curly haired boyfriend, A-list actor Timothée Chalamet. But the pair don’t stop trying to go incognito, even taking notes from Leonardo DiCaprio’s cap and mask look. “There’s an angle that you can do where they can’t see your face, and I wear a mask,” the 27-year-old told British Vogue, detailing her tactical use of a baseball cap and face covering to gain anonymity when needed. Although, she noted it might not work that well for DiCaprio anymore. “He has a distinct incognito look that now is not incognito because people know it so well,” she observed. But no disguise has stopped eagle-eyed fans from spotting a figure wearing a blue cap, who they…

Australian singer-songwriter Nick Cave has endured unimaginable loss in recent years. The legendary musician, 66, lost two of his four sons in the space of less than a decade – a double tragedy that most people would find hard to comprehend. In a revealing Australian Story interview with Leigh Sales on August 12, Cave opened up about how that loss had left him a radically changed man. Cave and his English wife, Susie Bick, a former model and fashion designer, were plunged into grief when they lost their son Arthur at 15. Arthur, who has a surviving twin brother named Earl, died when he accidentally fell off a cliff after taking LSD in Brighton, England in July 2015. Seven years later, in 2022, Cave announced that his troubled eldest son,…

In a busy, loving household, Married at First Sight success story Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant pause their day of home renovations and parenting a toddler and a newborn to chat to WHO about their new life as a family of four. “I am very proud of myself. I have done my first ever auto reply on my email,” Robinson says. She’s embracing some rare downtime after giving birth to Carter James on July 23. There’s not much scope for time out, though, as mothering a newborn and running after a toddler is a full-time job, even before trying to stay on top of renovations and new projects. “Unfortunately, I didn’t have the luxury of maternity leave [in my last pregnancy]. And this time around, I really have just been…

RIHANNA & A$AP If families that play together really do stay together, then Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have cracked the secret to living happily ever after. The musicians recently soaked up the sun with their two boys while enjoying a trip to Barbados, where Rihanna was born and raised. RZA, 2, held tightly onto his mum as she carried her son into the water for a dip. Showing he has the streak of a daredevil in him, Riot, 1, enjoyed splashing about as his father threw him up into the air, before paddling in the ocean. The family visited Barbados to attend the island nation’s annual carnival, the Crop Over Festival. On August 5, Rihanna helped open the celebrations, stepping out in an elaborate feathered and jewelled number, before embracing…

Madison Walsh never had a chance to meet her second cousin, who vanished without a trace a decade before she was born. But growing up, she heard all about Bronwyn Winfield from her mother, Rebecca. “Mum always said what a kind, caring and gentle person Bronwyn was and how she was such a devoted mother,” Madison tells WHO. “Our family never believed she could have just run off and left her children behind.” Bronwyn was last seen at her family home in Lennox Head on May 16, 1993. She was 31 years old at the time and in the middle of a messy split with her estranged husband, Jon Winfield. Neighbours heard the pair arguing that night. After leaving Jon a couple of months earlier, Bronwyn had moved with her…

MODERN DAY MASSAGE Narendra Mehta was blind from the age of one, which gave him a heightened sense of touch. He was a pioneer of champissage in the United Kingdom, where he was welcomed with enthusiasm, and he originated the Indian head massage as we know it today. Upon his death, his wife, Kundan Metha, and his son-in-law, Moses Chundi, took over his centre in London, which continues to train students from all over the world. There’s nothing like a massage to help ease your troubles, and since most of our worries live in our head, why not go to the source! Champi head massage (also known as Ayurvedic massage or Indian head massage) is practised around the world, and it can also be done at home. Not sure how…

There’s nothing quite like stumbling across a one-of-a-kind antique to welcome into your home. But there’s a real art to sourcing a quality second-hand find. Jane Crowley, founder of vintage market Dirty Janes, shares her insider tips and tricks on how to fill your home with noteworthy pieces. IT’S BEST TO INVEST Today’s furniture is cheaper and mass production means there’s more of it, so there’s often no comparison to the detail and quality of a vintage piece. “Antique homewares stand out for their quality craftsmanship and timeless appeal,” says Crowley. “Whether it’s the intricate carving of a Victorian sideboard or the sleek lines of a mid-century modern sofa, these pieces are built to last and to be cherished for generations.” While it may seem odd to splurge on an…

ONE-OF-A-KIND WHISKEY For the first time, award-winningTeeling Whiskey brings its Explorers Series to Aussie shelves. Teeling 15-Year Old Japanese Explorers Edition is a new addition to the line-up available locally. It’s initially matured in ex-bourbon barrels for 11 years before a second maturation in ex-mugi shochu casks, which is said to give it delicate notes of toasted barley, exotic lychee and passionfruit, and a subtle hint of oak with a sweet, mellow finish. At $175 a bottle (from Dan Murphy’s), it could be one to keep in mind for Father’s Day just around the corner. A REAL PEARLER! We love him for his Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, and now master distiller Philip Moore of the NSW Central Coast’s Distillery Botanica has created a delicate, dry, ocean-inspired gin which…

MOVIE SNOW WHITE Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it’s back to the future we go. Disney is returning to its roots with a live-action remake of the 1937 classic cartoon that started it all, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which was the first feature-length film for the studio. In the first trailer for the new movie, Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot, with a killer manicure, looks formidable as the Evil Queen, while West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler steps into the iconic yellow dress and the history books, becoming the first Latina to ever play a Disney princess in a live-action film. It’s due in March 2025. MORE INSIDE! TAKING IT IN HER STRIDE Susie Youssef tells WHO about being a host of Great Australian Walks. QUESTION TIME Which famous faces will we see…

“You’re always thrilled when it has that kind of reach” What can fans expect from Season 2? I think you’re gonna get some pretty magnificent Eddie [played by Madeleine Sami] and Dulcie [Box] antics. But it’s just going to be a lot sweatier, which is quite difficult for Dulcie, I think, managing tropical and tropical sweats. I read the first couple of episodes and it is totally wild – the new characters are just so fantastic and the Kates [creators Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan] have done an extraordinary job of introducing the madness of a new community, which is going to be really fun. In Season 2, you head up north to Darwin. That’s quite a change of scenery from cold and moody Tasmania. That is Eddie’s world, where…

What was the last thing you learned about yourself? You are never too old to improve and learn. Don’t let the old man in! What was the last meal you cooked? A Sunday morning BBQ breakfast. Eggs, bacon, hash browns, baked beans …the list goes on. What was your last TV obsession? The Tour de France 2024. When was the last time you declared, “Never again!” Every time I do a triathlon. What was the last game you played? Risk – armies fighting for world domination. What was the last road trip you took? A quick trip to Townsville. It’s just a 36-hour turnaround from the Sunny Coast. When was the last time you were starstruck? I had the pleasure of meeting [the late] actor Ray Stevenson from the Punisher…

Suri Cruise is off to college and her mother, Katie Holmes, is about to become an empty-nester. The pair are close, often being spotted out for dinners together in New York City, where Holmes raised the 18-year-old largely out of the public eye. In a new interview with Town & Country, Holmes, 45, shared her thoughts on what lies ahead. “I’m proud of my daughter. Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy. I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that,” she shared. A video posted by her classmates revealed that Cruise will attend Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University.…

The book-to-screen adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s It Ends with Us is one of the more divisive films of 2024, but is there more controversy off screen than on? Fans certainly seem to think so, with many speculating online about the relationship between leading lady Blake Lively and the film’s star and director, Justin Baldoni, 40. The pair haven’t been spotted together to promote the film, which many saw as evidence of a feud. Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter spoke to sources who said there had been “a fracture among the filmmakers in the post-production process”. The publication explained that while it’s not uncommon for a film to go through multiple edits, Lively, 36, who is also a producer, did commission a cut of the movie from Shane Reid, an editor she…

A head of turning 30 in December 2019, Taylor Swift shared her “biggest fear” in an essay for Elle magazine. “After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, I was completely terrified to go on tour,” she wrote, referring to the terrorist attack at Ariana Grande’s 2017 concert in the UK that left 22 dead and an October 2017 mass shooting at the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest festival that killed 60 people. “My fear of violence has continued into my personal life,” she continued. “I carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds.” The singer, now 34, is no doubt even more on edge after three of her Eras Tour shows scheduled for August 8 to 10 were cancelled when authorities foiled…

FAMILY BUSINESS “I have a lot of freedom now and I owe a lot of it to my kids,” Anderson told Better Homes & Gardens about how her sons help with her businesses, specifically her eldest. “He tells me, ‘Mum, if you want to retire one day, you’ve got to do this and this.’” Pamela Anderson is far removed from her once-chaotic life. Now aged 57, the mother of two grown sons is in touch with her inner child, living in the same Vancouver abode she was carried into as a babe. She spends her mornings watching the sunrise, writing and baking bread, “I keep baker’s hours,” she told Better Homes & Gardens in a refreshing cover shoot. Living among her fresh garden produce, with her parents close by and…

KATE HUDSON Starring in hit rom-coms like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Bride Wars made the daughter of Goldie Hawn a household name, but Hudson’s first love will always be music. After showing a little of what she was capable of vocally in her 2012-13 guest role in Glee, in May this year, the actress released her first album, Glorious, at the age of 45, demonstrating her talents as a songwriter as well. “When you’re younger, it’s more about how others see you, and I think as you get older, it’s more about what fulfils you, and that’s this for me,” Hudson told US Today at the time. “All the warmth I’m receiving, too, feels great, and I’m just so happy that I decided to do…

There’s nothing like a good old crisis to bring out our best and worst sides, and during the last few years we’ve had a fair few chances to see both of these in public. After fighting over toilet rolls and tinned tomatoes during the height of the pandemic, many of us probably hoped things would gradually return to normal. However, whether cost-of-living pressures are to blame or it’s simply a sign of the times, it seems that bad behaviour is on the rise. According to a recent Australian study, road rage has risen 10 per cent in the last three years, while airlines are working on strategies to combat increased passenger aggression. Even highbrow haunts like London’s West End aren’t immune, with 70 per cent of theatre staff complaining that…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 It’s time to begin implementing what you’ve been learning about. Just when you thought you could escape some of this week’s drama, you aren’t totally clear. You may get a subtle or not so subtle reminder that you really do need to start thinking differently. You can’t solve problems with the same thinking that created them. CANCER JUN. 21–JUL. 21 Don’t let self-fulfilling prophecies get the better of you. More often than not, it’s the way we think about our problems that are more challenging than the problems themselves. A shift in mindset can’t do any harm. If you feel good, things will be good. Do what you can to incrementally improve your mood. LIBRA SEP. 23–OCT. 22 One foot in front of the other, brick…

BEES KNEES Youssef tells WHO that visiting Beechworth, where she caught up with Jodie Goldsworthy, a fourth-generation beekeeper, was among the highlights. “It’s this honey-coloured country town with so much history,” she says. Like so many of us, comedian Susie Youssef found walking around her community during COVID lockdowns helped her stay connected to friends and neighbours. Now, after joining Season 2 of Great Australian Walks alongside Julia Zemiro and another newcomer to the series, Gina Chick, the 40-year-old found a deeper and broader connection to the country. “You just feel so lucky to be a visitor in these places,” the Deadloch star tells WHO. Are you a big walker? Was that part of your life before you were on the show. I would say I was a walker in…

Little is known about the storyline of the third film in the hit murder mystery franchise, but there are a few clues in these on-set snaps. For a start, the cast or, in this case, list of suspects is a who’s who of Hollywood’s hottest talent. Andrew Scott, the man who can do no wrong at the moment, appears alongside Jeremy Renner, who continues his remarkable recovery from a shocking snowmobile accident. Award-winning actress Glenn Close, Scandal’s Kerry Washington and Mila Kunis also star. And it looks like Scott, who played the “hot priest” in Fleabag, will have some competition for that moniker from Josh Brolin, who cuts an impressive figure as a man of the cloth, and Josh O’Connor, with The Crown actor also playing a priest. Detective Benoit…

Spice Girls fans will be devastated to hear the girl group’s hoped-for reunion tour has reportedly been “axed”. Despite Mel B’s hint that they were “definitely doing something” on UK chat show Loose Women earlier this year, it appears the beloved pop group will not be taking to the stage together anytime soon. The cancellation comes amid rumours of a fresh feud between band members Mel B and Geri Halliwell, which has reportedly come to a head after an apparent jibe from Scary Spice on Instagram. It has been a tough year for Geri, 52, whose husband, Formula One chief Christian Horner, faced allegations of inappropriate behaviour with a female assistant. The allegations came to light in February, but were dismissed later that month and Horner kept his job. In…

Christian Slater, once a ’90s heart-throb known for playing bad boys, is relishing his role as a later-in-life dad after it was confirmed he and his wife, Brittany Lopez, 35, already parents to daughter Lena, who turned 5 this month, welcomed their second child together, a son, in July. Slater, who has just turned 55, is also dad to son Jaden, 25, and daughter Eliana, 23, who he shares with his ex-wife, journalist and producer Ryan Haddon. “I mean, it’s just different,” he told People magazine about his second crack at parenting at the Blink Twice premiere on August 8. “The whole thing is different. I’m certainly a lot more present and I just love it. “I think I was more scared of it the first go around and a…

From the moment actress-turned-director Zoë Kravitz started thinking about casting the male lead role for her upcoming film, Blink Twice, she felt Magic Mike star Channing Tatum could be ‘the one’. And as it turned out, she was right – both professionally and personally. Two years after meeting on set, the pair became engaged and are rumoured to be ready to wed at some stage this year. At the Los Angeles premiere of the film, Kravitz took a moment to talk about and thank “Channing f--king Tatum” for his patience and for “trusting me to female direct you”. “From producing to performing to the pep talks to holding my head or my feet while I cried on the bathroom floor because I thought I f--ked it all up, thank you…

“I think people don’t have any hope, but there is hope. You will be OK” Claire Jensz and John Raftopoulos met as teenagers in Melbourne, and for him, it was love at first sight. “I sort of fell in love the minute I saw her,” he tells WHO. “And then I slipped straight into the friend zone unfortunately.” They remained friends for years, until a 23-year-old Claire revealed in 1994 that she was relocating to London. John knew he had missed his chance and still remembers the day she left. “She came to watch me play football,” he recalls, noting that she wore a “red and blue jacket” as he watched her walk away, “then she was gone”. Over the next 22 years, they lived separate lives. Both married and…
