‘TODAY’ HOST LISA WILKINSON left industry executives and breakfast-TV fans reeling when she announced on Oct. 16 that she was quitting the Nine Network. Not even her co-host of 10 years, Karl Stefanovic, 43, could hide his shock, telling viewers it “will take a while for it to sink in.” Wilkinson’s decision to quit came after pay negotiations broke down, with the network saying it was “unable to meet the expectations of Lisa Wilkinson and her manager on a contract renewal.” But straight after that news, Wilkinson, 57, dropped her next bombshell: she’s heading to Network Ten in a senior hosting role on The Project. “I’m absolutely thrilled,” she said. The presenter’s decision to quit Nine is said to have centred on a pay equality issue—with reports claiming Stefanovic earns $2m…

AFTER A TENSE PERIOD, REALITY STAR AUDRINA Patridge has moved back into her own home. She was seen on Oct. 14 moving belongings into the house in Irvine, California, vacated by her husband, Australian BMX rider Corey Bohan, 35. In further good news for the former star of The Hills, a judge granted her full custody of their daughter, Kirra, 1, as well as their dog, Lady. Bohan, who was paid $35,000, was ordered to move out by Oct. 13. Patridge, 32, filed for divorce in September and was granted a temporary restraining and child abduction prevention order against Bohan, who denied her claims of emotional abuse and violent outbursts. In documents filed on Oct. 9 and obtained by The Blast, he had asked for a temporary emergency order against Patridge,…

CHRISTINA APPLEGATE HAS revealed she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed last month in a bid to prevent cancer. Talking to Today.com on Oct. 11, “My cousin passed away from ovarian cancer in 2008. I could prevent that,” she said. “That’s how I’ve taken control of everything. It’s a relief. That’s one other thing off the table. Now, let’s hope I don’t get hit by a bus.” The actress and stay-at-home mother, who has the BRCA1 gene mutation that increases her cancer risk, had a double mastectomy in 2008 after being diagnosed with breast cancer. “The chances that my daughter is BRCA positive are very high,” said Applegate, 45, of Sadie, 6 (her husband is musician Martyn LeNoble, 48). “In 20 years, she’ll have to start getting tested. Hopefully by…

E very room in Brooke Shields’s fourstorey New York townhouse has what she calls “a cherry” —that “one thing I really didn’t want to live without, the one thing I splurged on.” In the living room it’s the stone mantel she and her architect rescued from the Plaza Hotel after the property was refurbished in the mid-2000s; in the dining room it’s the hand-blocked wallpaper; and in her light-filled kitchen it’s the custom-made marbletopped dining table, inspired by a baker’s cart that Shields, 52, spotted in Europe. “If you look underneath it,” she points out, “you can see it’s never moving. It’s bolted to the ground.” Shields searched for years before finding the historic five-bedroom house in 2009; she shares it with husband Chris Henchy, 53, a screenwriter and producer…

WWith three kids and three basset hounds, David Arquette, 46, and his wife, Christina, 36, do not travel light. These days just loading the entire next-generation Arquette clan into the car is quite an accomplishment. “It’s like a circus car when we get out,” says David. “They just keep coming!” The family welcomed their latest addition, son Augustus “Gus” Alexis Arquette, on March 8. Gus, whose middle name honours David’s late sister Alexis, joins the couple’s son Charlie West, 3, and David’s 13-year-old daughter Coco from his previous marriage to Courteney Cox, 53. For David, the youngest of five siblings in the famous Arquette acting family (Rosanna, 58, Richmond, 54, Patricia, 49, and Alexis, who died at age 47 in 2016 of complications from HIV), a home filled with barking,…

Katy Perry The Scorpio singer turns 33 on Oct. 25. ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 Moderation in all things may not be Aries’ philosophy, but it would be wise to act with restraint at this time. A Sun–Jupiter conjunction in the zone of financial resources could, at best, indicate a large monetary boost and on the minus side, a big expense. Either way, avoid going to extremes. Leave passion to the bedroom. For more, phone 1902 261 655. TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 An element of fate may well be in the mix—you could find yourself in the right place at the right time (or the reverse) or actions taken many moons ago could now yield their fruit. If you have any choice in the matter, do your best to make a…

News, views & feuds The Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman, 45, goes method for the sequel to Blade Runner, the 1982 cult film. You play bad guy Niander Wallace in Blade Runner 2049. What do you love about the franchise? I’m such a fan of the original; I saw the movie on VHS when I was a kid, and it changed my life. For me, it was Star Wars. Speaking of Star Wars, Harrison Ford reprises his role as Rick Deckard in the Blade Runner sequel. What was he like to work with? Absolutely mind-blowing. He’s a living legend and such a towering presence. He is like, 70 is the new 30. And he’s in better shape than I am, for sure. [Laughs] You also used contacts that made you completely…

Two weeks ago, if you’d asked most Hollywood insiders to describe Harvey Weinstein, you’d probably get the words “bully” or “blowhard” shot back at you with a laugh. His cartoonish reputation as a big, blustering, high-powered Hollywood studio executive had long been the stuff of legend. “He was romanticised as an old-style movie mogul,” says former New York Observer reporter Rebecca Traister. “That was seen as a good thing.” But the reality of Harvey Weinstein was far, far more disturbing. At a 2000 book party, when Traister asked Weinstein a probing question about the marketing of a movie, Weinstein exploded, calling her a “c--t,” dragging her then-boyfriend Andrew Goldman onto the street in a headlock and yelling, “I’m the f--king mayor of this f--king lawless piece of shit town!” Weinstein…

JUST WEEKS AFTER GAME OF THRONES couple Kit Harington and Rose Leslie announced their “forthcoming marriage,” their co-star Sophie Turner and her boyfriend, Joe Jonas, shared their engagement news via co-ordinated Instagram posts. Turner, 21, captioned a photo of her hand—featuring sparkler—resting on the singer’s hand with “I said yes.” Jonas, 28, posted the same photo, with the message “She said yes.” Among the first to respond were Jonas’s brothers, Kevin and Nick—who shared the photo on Twitter with “Congratulations to my brother … and sisterin- law-to-be on your engagement. I love you both so much.” Adds a source: “Everybody’s very, very happy for them and their family and friends are all thrilled.”…

THE FIRST BACHELOR Australia baby has landed and she’s as photogenic as her parents, Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski, who met on the show in 2015. Announcing the birth of their daughter, Willow Wendy Wood, “I apologise for being so quiet for the last couple of days (my phone has not fallen into the toilet),” Wood, 37, posted on Facebook with a video of Willow wrapped in a blanket with a giraffe pattern. “I have fallen in love with the most perfect little girl and fallen further in love with the most incredible Mum. I also haven’t been able to stop crying.” Markoski, 37, who has a degree in molecular genetics and biotechnology, was just as gushing. “I could honestly stare at you all day little Miss Willow Wendy Wood.…

WHO’s GUIDE TO THE LATEST COSMETIC CONFECTIONS AND TRENDS Less is more” is May’s makeup mantra, regardless of the season. “The key to perfecting the ultimate summer look is to let your skin do the talking, no matter how heavy or light your eye makeup or lip colour is,” he says. A flawless finish starts with the perfect base. First, it’s important to choose the right colour of foundation. “I like to blend the foundation in with the warmth of my fingers, so the skin and foundation become one,” says May. Also, remember to exfoliate a couple of times a week—“It’s imperative,” says May, for achieving a smooth, clean finish. To fake a summer glow, try highlighting and contouring your face with a warm-tone bronzer and highlighter, “It warms up…

Anyone who has tried to lose weight only to gain it back again—and more—will recognise how hard your body works to hold onto extra kilos. Now obesity researcher Dr Nick Fuller from the Charles Perkins Centre at the University of Sydney claims he has developed an evidence-based method for people to reset their body’s “set point” and lose weight for good using science gleaned from his clinical research programs. He spoke to WHO about his Interval Weight Loss concept. WHY DO SO MANY DIETS TEND TO FAIL? It doesn’t matter what the diet is, all of them will end up with a person regaining the weight because: 1. Diets are unrealistic, unhealthy and often dangerous to sustain and 2. We are all tuned to a set point of fatness that…

What started with a simple idea from a friend of Alyssa Milano’s turned into a social-media movement, as hundreds of thousands of people spoke out under the Twitter hashtag #MeToo to say they had experienced sexual harassment or assault. The campaign, suggested on Oct. 15 by Milano (left), who co-starred with Rose McGowan on Charmed, generated more than half a million tweets in 24 hours, with stars including Lady Gaga, Gabrielle Union (right), Debra Messing, Rosario Dawson and Anna Paquin adding their voices. “I think it’s somewhat of a relief for everybody to speak up,” notes Louisette Geiss, a writer and actress who says Weinstein exposed himself to her. “It’s creating a change; women all over the world who have been harassed in other businesses are stepping forward.” Los Angeles…

AT THE AMFAR GALA ON OCT. 13 (see p. 14), Chris Martin serenaded Julia Roberts with a rendition of Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Woman”. But three days earlier, the Coldplay frontman’s attention was caught up with another beautiful brunette, actress Dakota Johnson. The singer, 40, and the Fifty Shades of Grey star, 28, were spotted grabbing dinner together at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles. They were “cosy, laughing and affectionate,” a source tells WHO, noting it was just the two sharing a meal. Their reps did not respond to WHO’s request for comment. Martin was last linked to English actress Annabelle Wallis in an apparently on-again off-again relationship. Johnson’s most recent romance, with musician Matthew Hitt, seemed to have faded in 2016.…

AFTER ALMOST THREE YEARS TOGETHER, Robert Pattinson and singer FKA Twigs have split. “They broke up several months ago,” a source told JustJared.com, confirming a report that first appeared in UK newspaper The Sun on Oct. 11. The pair started dating in September 2014 and became engaged seven months later. In July the actor, 31, had curiously described them as “kind of” engaged, and rumours of a split intensified in August when Twigs (real name Tahliah Barnett), 29, was spotted without her four-carat diamond engagement ring. “They were almost inseparable for their first two years together. But in recent months they have really started to drift apart and have been spending less and less time together,” a source told The Sun. “Rob is tired of it, has called off their engagement and told…

With summer comes the fun of spending more time outdoors to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. But this also means we’re exposing our hair and scalp to sun and heat, and that means you’re more likely to sweat, which can aggravate dandruff. So remember, scalp is skin too, and it needs the same care, nourishment and protection as the rest of our skin or it can become dry and itchy. Keep your hair beautifully shiny and give a flaky scalp the flick with head & shoulders Smooth & Silky shampoo and conditioner. When used together, head & shoulders shampoo and conditioner work 60 per cent more effectivelyˆ versus using the shampoo alone. The 3Action Formula cleanses, moisturises and protects to give you unbelievably soft, shiny and beautiful hair that’s up…

The Perfect Couple is, genrewise, very different from your debut novel, 2016’s The Ties That Bind. Why did you change your style so completely? When I set out to write The Perfect Couple I intended on writing another family drama so I was surprised when I handed over the first draft to my publisher and was told that the psychological slant and plot twists I’d used to explore the breakdown of a seemingly perfect marriage had pushed it into domestic noir. Although the style is vastly different from my first book, it does share some commonalities in that it delves into family dynamics, secrets, lies and betrayal. You had a child after your debut novel was released, then began writing your second. How did you juggle that? I wrote The Perfect Couple under a…

While the eight-time Grammy-winning artist, 42, got her start in show business as a child actress, her career skyrocketed when she joined the Black Eyed Peas in 2002. Now, with the release of her second solo album, Double Dutchess, the singer and mum to Axl, her son with actor and estranged husband Josh Duhamel, reveals her inspirations to WHO’s Cynthia Wang. A song that was a big part of my childhood “Stairway to Heaven”. It’s a little dark and deep for a kid, but I just loved that. Musically, it had this big build and I loved Robert Plant’s voice, so I grew up kind of emulating him. The song I’m obsessed with now The Selena Gomez “Fetish” song comes into mind. I gravitate towards things that are left of…

LOOK AWAY Michelle Pfeiffer, 59, isn’t a fan of watching herself. “I look back at everything and wish I’d done it differently,” she told The Edit. “I’ll see a film once [when] I’m gearing up to do press and I need to know what I’m talking about, then I never watch it again. If I’m scrolling the TV and [a film I’m in] is on the guide, I can’t get by it quick enough.” Still, she thinks One Fine Day, her 1996 rom-com with George Clooney, is underrated: “On the opening weekend, we got beaten at the box office by Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. That was particularly demoralising.” SLAP DOWN Minka Kelly is setting the record straight on her relationship with Jesse Williams. The actress, 37, has been dating…

“We’re not gonna raise assholes. There’s enough assholes in this world!” Mila Kunis has the basic rule of parenthood covered. “I don’t get lonely. I have myself.” Jake Gyllenhaal reveals a close bond with Jake Gyllenhaal. “I was my priority, a selfish little brat running around making films.” In her youth, Julia Roberts took her movie-star role very seriously. “I feel like I’m running on sugar-free Twizzlers.” Carey Mulligan, who recently gave birth to her second child, finds a friend in licorice. “I’m like, ‘You have got this, you are LeBron James! Just be LeBron!’” Reese Witherspoon (1.56m) channels the 2.03m NBA star to boost her confidence.…
