You know when you have one of those days when you’re feeling a little reflective? Well, that’s the situation I find myself in today and this week’s issue is packed with content that’s really giving me all the feels. Take our interview with Colin Farrell on page 34. In it, the star talks candidly about how welcoming a son with disabilities changed his perspective on life – it really is an emotional read! That’s not all, because over on page 16, Andrew Garfield tells us in very moving terms how the death of his mother impacted his sense of ambition and how he finally navigated his way through the pain of her loss. Then, over on page 24, we bring you a moving four-page tribute to late One Direction star…

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have called the US home since they moved to Los Angeles in 2020. But the couple are finally starting to dip their toes back into waters across the Atlantic. The pair are believed to have purchased a multimillion-dollar beachfront property in Portugal, not far from the home of Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie, 34, who lives there with husband Jack Brooksbank. The move could be about trying to mend fences with the royals, as Harry, 40, seeks to be able to take on more charity work and hopes for some official duties. “It doesn’t mean he’s going to return to England. But Portugal is not so far from London,” royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun. The biographer also thinks Eugenie “could be a wonderful…

ROYAL TOUR DOWN UNDER There was a right royal welcome – and fond farewell – waiting for King Charles and Queen Camilla as they walked out under the sails of Sydney’s Opera House to be greeted by a crowd of an estimated 10,000 cheering fans. The visit to the iconic site on October 22 was their final public engagement in Australia, ending a whirlwind five-day visit. While shaking hands with well-wishers, the King said he would have loved to have extended the quick tour but, he revealed, “The doctors won’t let me.” The 75-year-old monarch, who travelled with two medical practitioners, paused his treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer to make the journey. The trip came ahead of the King attending the opening of the Commonwealth Heads of…

Australia is somewhere Ronan Keating has spent a fair bit of time over the years – and it’s a place he has recently returned to for some much-needed rest and family time. The trip Down Under comes after what has proved to be a hard year for the Irish singer and his family, with Ronan, his wife, Australian TV producer Storm, and their two kids together, Cooper, 7, and Coco, 4, seen on social media soaking up the sun. “Storm and I probably pushed ourselves and worked a little too hard this year, so now we can back off from work. We’re assessing life. It has been a very tough 12 months,” he told OK! magazine. The former Boyzone singer, 47, chose to prioritise family time in July when he…

There’s an old saying that the eyes don’t lie, so if you’ve started to notice any new or unusual symptoms, it could be a sign that your body is trying to tell you something. In many cases, the cause won’t be anything to worry about. However, it’s always safe to see an optometrist or doctor if you notice any new changes between your regular eye test appointments. FLOATERS & FLASHERS These typically occur when the vitreous gel of the eye tugs or bumps against the retina. You might notice floaters and flashes together or separately. Floaters may appear as dots, circles, clouds, cobwebs, lines or other shapes. Flashes can look like an arc of light, or resemble a bolt of lightning or flash from a camera. Specsavers optometrist Michael Angerame…

The ladies chatted to Extra about filming the Sex and the City sequel, And Just Like That…, and how the trio spend all their time together – literally. “We were together all day and we’ll be together all day tomorrow,” SJP said, after the interviewer mused that the women were on a date night. “We start our day and we end our day together …We were up at 4[am] today and we have…

Sam Burgess is married again. The 35-year-old former NRL star and partner Lucy Graham, 33, tied the knot in a secret celebration in Rome surrounded by close friends and family. Pictures of the happy occasion posted to Instagram show glimpses of the 17th-century Baroque villa where the nuptials took place, with both the ceremony and the dinner afterwards seemingly held outdoors. Describing the day in an Instagram post, wedding planners Isla & Smith wrote, “Layers & layers of creamy vanilla tones (from the historic villa to the vintage Rolls to the breathtaking @paulanadal_official gown) woven with deep Roman burgundy, crimson and pops of violet. And the insane atmosphere magic… just incredible.” The former Rabbitohs player – who split from ex Phoebe Burgess in 2019 and later told of his regret…

It turns out that Jennifer Lawrence has been keeping mum about some big news – the actress is set to welcome baby number two. A representative for the Oscar-winning star confirmed the exciting news with US Vogue after she was spotted out for dinner on October 19, showing off the hint of a bump. The new arrival will be a little brother or sister for her 2-year-old son, Cy, who Lawrence shares with her husband, Cooke Maroney. The actress, 34, wed the art gallery director in 2019. A source told People the star was “thrilled to be a parent again”. “She loves being a mum ... It feels like perfect timing to her. Her son will be 3 when the new baby arrives,” the insider said. Lawrence previously spoke about…

When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their first child in 2013 and named her North West, it seemed a little out there, even for a celebrity baby name. “I actually got it from Jay Leno, who made that as a joke,” Kim admitted in a YouTube video. “Everyone was coming up to me like, ‘It’s such a cool name. You should really think about it.’” When they decided to use the name, the couple likened it to a metaphor of their “highest point together”, Kris Jenner shared on The View after North’s birth. Eleven years later, it’s hard to imagine her called anything else as she emerges as a star in her own right. In a recent photo shoot for Interview magazine, the tween asked, “Can I…

Jennifer Garner made news earlier this year when she revealed her beloved golden retriever Birdie had received a “promotion” to work as a therapy dog at Children’s Hospital LA. “She’s a very good dog, a very good girl,” the star said.

How are you feeling now that your show, that you created, co-wrote and starred in, is out there? I’m very proud of it. I don’t think I’ve ever loved something so much and everyone who was in it. I just want audiences to experience and connect with it, and so I find myself equal amounts thrilled and a little bit shy as well. What is it about this project that makes it so important and so different for you? Although it’s not as biographical as other work, the themes in it are very close to my heart and my experiences of sons and dads – men looking after themselves and trying to change. Also, [me] being the drama kid in Cronulla and coming back 30 years later and making a…

Eighteen years after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Baywatch star Michael Newman has passed away, aged 67. He was best known for his role as Mike “Newmie” Newman on the beach-set drama series. His close friend Matthew Felker, who directed docuseries After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun, told People that Newman died from heart complications on October 20, “surrounded by his friends and family”. “I got to see Mike the last time he was conscious and he looked [at] me and in typical Mike fashion said, ‘You’re just in time,’” he said. Felker paid tribute to the actor, the only Baywatch cast member who actually was a lifeguard, on Instagram, posting, “Before I left him, he grabbed my hand as tight as he could …I nodded and said, ‘We will…

It would seem that Mila Kunis is a bit of a worry wart. The mum-of-two recently admitted she is constantly thinking about the worst-case scenario when it comes to her kids, Wyatt, 10, and 7-year-old Dimitri, who she shares with husband Ashton Kutcher. “It’s humanly impossible for me to worry more,” the 41-year-old told Entertainment Tonight. “If that’s the case, I will self-combust. Ashton says that I account for the worst of everything at all times. Like, I account for the escape plan all the time.” Of course, she may have good reason to worry. Her husband, 46, is said to “absolutely regret” his past friendship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking. “He now trusts no-one except for his wife, Mila,”a source told…

New romantic tear-jerker We Live in Time (out in Australia in January) tells a non-linear love story of a young couple navigating life with a cancer diagnosis. While the plot has audiences with tissues at the ready, Andrew Garfield’s raw emotion while promoting the film, co-starring Florence Pugh, has already moved many to tears. Appearing on The New York Times podcast Modern Love released on October 9, Garfield choked up while reading the essay ‘Learning to Measure Time in Love and Loss’ by Chris Huntington. “It’s mysterious. This is why art is so important because it can get us to places that we can’t get to any other way,” he answered when asked what made him cry. “There are moments in our film, when I watched it in Toronto with…

Clear your evening schedule for the next few weeks, it’s Love Island Australia season again. The dating series that gets hearts racing and everyone talking is back – and so is its host, Sophie Monk. The star returns for her sixth season as the face of the show and, despite what you may have heard, she has no plans to go anywhere. “I love doing it. I love the format, and it’s quite a positive one, too. You never hear really anyone come out of Love Island saying they’ve been edited badly, have you noticed?” the star tells WHO. “Whereas other shows, they do do that. So it’s just a lovely positive show to be a part of.” Indeed, Monk is so fond of her work as host that she’s…

Breastfeeding was one of the things that surprised Etta Watts-Russell the most about motherhood. Instead of being the easy, breezy natural thing she’d been led to believe it would be, the mum-of-four really struggled with it. “I’d heard all the horror childbirth stories, but 13 years ago when I had my first baby, there was no discussion about the next stage. There was no preparation or education about breastfeeding, so when I had issues I thought it must be a me problem,” Etta, 43, tells WHO. With her four babies, Amelia, now 13, Otto, 11, Ingrid, 7, and Albert, 6, Etta dealt with what she now knows 92 per cent of breastfeeding mothers have issues with, including low supply, mastitis and blocked ducts. It was only after having Ingrid and…

NATURAL TEXTURE This summer, we’re not masking our natural hair texture, we’re enhancing it. “We are seeing a lot of clients wanting to embrace their natural curls after years of straightening,” says Tracy Williams, hairstylist at Salon Her. To style your curls at home, Williams suggests using a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, along with a hair mask once a week. “Style by using either a leave-in curl cream or gloss to define the curls,” she advises. GOLDEN HIGHLIGHTS Forget all-over blonde, Williams notes that subtle highlights are the way to go. “We are seeing a lot of our previously bright blonde clients transition back to their natural dark base, whilst keeping some brightness around the face and dimension through the ends,” she explains. The trick to achieving a low-maintenance colour…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 If you’re feeling impulsive or reactive, catch yourself. Decisions and turning points explored for some time need attention.
