Here, a selection of our favourites. For Serena Williams’s winsome post from her honeymoon in the Bahamas, see p. 40.…

Facing a new sexual-assault allegation, Russell Simmons announced on Nov. 30 that he would step down from the Def Jam empire he helped found. The exit came after a Hollywood Reporter column by screenwriter Jenny Lumet, 50, claiming Simmons assaulted her in 1991. She said instead of taking her home from a restaurant, he took her to his apartment where, once inside the lift,“you pressed me into the corner with your body, your hands and your mouth.”She said he assaulted her, penetrating her after she told him to“wait.” The writer’s claims follow allegations by model Keri Claussen Khalighi, who said she was 17 when Simmons and his friend, producer Brett Ratner, took her to Simmons’s apartment to show her a music video. She said Simmons made aggressive sexual advances, “yanking”off…

A YEAR AFTER THEIR ENGAGEMENT ended acrimoniously, singer Mariah Carey and businessman James Packer have reportedly reached a financial settlement—with the Australian billionaire paying the “We Belong Together” singer a figure between $6 and $13 million, according to website The Blast. While the sum, which includes Carey’s engagement ring, is well below the $50 million Carey, 47, was reportedly seeking (she claimed she uprooted her life in an expensive move to Los Angeles to be with him), it amounts to roughly $500,000 for each month they were together. The tycoon, 50, revealed in October that the engagement came during a low point in his personal life.“She was kind, exciting and fun. Mariah is a woman of substance,” he told The Weekend Australian Magazine.“But it was a mistake for her and…

SHE WAS SO OVERWHELMED by his proposal on her 32nd birthday she forgot to say yes at first, but still,“every part of this night has been perfection, just like you,” Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco wrote to Karl Cook. “I love you forever!” A professional equestrian, Cook, 26, is the son of billionaire businessman Scott Cook.“He’s great,” she gushed to WHO in August.“He’s got a big bulldog and many horses and, luckily, I found a guy who likes dogs as much as me. That’s on my No. 1 list:‘Must love dogs!’ ” Cuoco filed for divorce from tennis pro Ryan Sweeting in 2015 after 21 months of marriage. Soon after she started seeing Cook, “I’m excited to see what the future holds,”she said in a TV interview. “I’m happier than…

There were Ed, Demi, Kesha and two members of One Direction—Liam Payne and Niall Horanperforming at the sold-out Los Angeles stop of the Jingle Ball tour on Dec. 1. And that was just a few of the acts supporting the big drawcard of the night: Taylor Swift, with even Andrew Taggart of the Chainsmokers, who preceded her, telling the crowd, “I’ll keep it short, because I know everyone wants to see Taylor.” Marking her first appearance in front of a concert-sized audience since February, the star, who turns 28 on Dec. 13, appropriately launched her set with “… Ready For It?” before delving into more retro tracks “Blank Space” and“Shake It Off” from her 1989 album. The singer, who will tour Australia and New Zealand in October 2018, played an…

PATH TO TRUE LOVE LOS ANGELES, DEC. 3 For Kate Hudson and her beau, Danny Fujikawa, hiking is more than just a weekend pastime—it’s the foundation of their love.“A year ago Danny took me on a hike and what I thought was a just a hike with a family friend turned very quickly into an unexpected first date,” the actress posted on Dec. 4. “Happy first date anniversary, baby.” WINNING THINGS NEW YORK, DEC. 1 Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo, 15, sang the national anthem before his ice-hockey team, the New York Rangers, beat the Carolina Hurricanes—and was stoked to receive a warm-up puck.

Congratulations on your new role with Pantene. Can you tell us about the summer showers campaign? Thank you! I’ve partnered with Pantene to help educate women on the importance of UV protection for your hair. The campaign will come to life with pop up showers on Bondi Beach from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th December, with product giveaways and a few bonus gifts. It’s going to be a really fun weekend, so I’m looking forward to it. What have you learnt about protecting your hair from the sun? I’ve coloured my hair blonde for years now, so it’s prone to damage if I don’t look after it properly. I’d never really thought about the impact the sun has on my hair, but UV rays can be quite harmful and leave…

“Holding hands at a royal engagement is a refreshingly modern approach”—Myka Meier Just four days after they confirmed their engagement, Prince Harry and a beaming Meghan Markle stepped out together on an official engagement of a different kind. To mark World AIDS Day on Dec. 1, the pair attended commemorative events in Nottingham, where hundreds of well-wishers lined the streets to cheer on the popular prince and his American fiancée, who looked regal in an ankle-length navy coat by Mackage over a black turtleneck and taupe skirt. “Hi, I’m Meghan,” said the actress, accepting bouquets and shaking hands with members of the public who’d been waiting since dawn behind barricades. During their visit, the pair met survivors who shared stories of living with HIV. “She was incredibly observant about what…

THE FIRST WORD IN HER SOCIAL-media bio is “Traveller” and so Paris Jackson was, enjoying the atmosphere on the streets of Paris, taking in the sights both alone and with a friend, singer-songwriter Madeline Fuhrman. Like many young visitors to the French capital, Jackson went sightseeing toting a large backpack and posted pensive pics with lines such as Matt Corby’s “In the back of my mind / everything seems fine/ you go your way, I go mine.” She also wandered the rues of Rennes playing a ukulele, and was snapped larking about on a lamp post for the sake of a good picture. But unlike regular 19-year-olds, she dined out at Joël Robuchon’s Michelin-star restaurant L’Atelier with fellow celebs including her godfather, Macaulay Culkin, his new girlfriend, Scandal actress Brenda…

IT WASN’T A TYPICAL FERGIE performance. On Dec. 3 she attended a fundraiser in Los Angeles for the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth charity, and surprised the audience with her unscheduled antics. When Armie Hammer introduced Tom Ford, the 42-year-old rushed the stage and interrupted him to promote her new album.“This is not a shameless promotion,” she said, before lapsing into verses from her song“A Little Work”. “She just kept talking,” says an observer. But a rep for Fergie, who split with Josh Duhamel in September, says,“She’s happy and healthy. A separation is hard for anyone, but she’s doing really good.”…

SELENA GOMEZ HAS SPOKEN out about splitting up with her ex-boyfriend The Weeknd, 27. The newly crowned Billboard 2017 Woman of the Year told the magazine: “Something that I’m really proud of is that there’s such a true friendship. I truly have never experienced anything like that in my life. We ended it as best friends, and it was genuinely about encouraging and caring, and that was pretty remarkable for me.” Their 10-month romance became strained due to their busy schedules, sources told WHO at the time. Gomeez also talked about her headline-making November reunion with former boyfriend Justin Bieber, 23, who she’s dated on and off since 2010. “I’m 25. I’m not 18 or 19 or 20,” she said. “I cherish people who have really impacted my life. So…

“She would call me every day. That’s one of the hardest things”—daughter Janice Each evening before she began her night shift at King Edward VII’s Hospital in London, nurse Jacintha Saldanha would brew a cup of tea and call her teenage daughter for a chat. With her home a two-hour drive away in Bristol, Jacintha would stay in London during her working week, living in the nurses’ quarters of the prestigious hospital favoured by the British monarchy, a world away from her cherished family: husband Benedict Barboza and their children—son Junal and daughter Janice. “She would call me every day to check up,” Janice, now 20, tells WHO at her flat in Leicester, England. “To say, ‘How are you doing? How was your day? How was school?’ I sometimes imagine…

“I spent so much time and money fighting for custody of my son”—Greg Mulvihill The mysterious, menacing call that Greg Mulvihill received one night last year was impossible to ignore. Just 10 weeks earlier the Carlsbad, California, father, who had fought for months for shared custody of his baby son Kale, had finally signed a financial agreement with soon-to-be ex-wife Diana Lovejoy. Now, here was a man with a deep voice claiming to be a “criminal investigator” in possession of incriminating documents that Mulvihill would find taped to a utility pole on a nearby hiking trail. Alarmed and suspicious, he called the Carlsbad police and asked a dispatcher if he should go. “She didn’t seem concerned about it,” Mulvihill later testified. “She said, ‘It’s up to you.’ ” So he…

EAT Healthy eating is a way of being kind to yourself. “A little of what you fancy does you good,” as the old saying goes. TREAT Ask yourself what you’re missing.

HATS AND TAILS William and Kate fuelled talk of an engagement announcement when they arrived together for a friend’s wedding in late October 2010. The official news followed on Nov. 16.

Each time Matt Lauer renewed his lucrative contract at the US Today show in the past five years, he considered leaving to spend more time with his family, a former colleague tells WHO:“All he wanted to do is be with his kids and golf.” But less than a year since signing his latest agreement with NBC, worth a reported $US20 million, Lauer is now out of options. On Nov. 27 a woman came forward to NBC brass with allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour by Lauer over the course of 2014 including at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The next day, the network’s biggest star, 59, was fired. “He never wanted to go out like this,” says the source. With the news came a flood of reports of alleged inappropriate…

HE MIGHT SEEM TO HAVE EVERYTHING he could ever want but even little Prince George has a wish list for Santa—and it’s charmingly short. Details of the young prince’s letter to Father Christmas were revealed when Prince William ran into the man in the red suit during a visit to Finland on Nov. 30 and promptly handed over his son’s list. “I’ve seen you and I had to give you this letter,”William, 35, told Santa, of the letter signed in George’s 4-year-old writing.“He hasn’t written down many requests, so I think one request is probably OK.”Prince George told Santa he’d been“nice”not “naughty,”and was wishing for just a single toy to be placed under the christmas tree—a police car. CHECKING IT TWICE Will and Kate’s oldest child, George, was understated in…

Taking his first wobbly steps, Jameson Hart—who will turn 1 on Dec. 26—had a tumble on Nov. 30. “Lil man just started walking and took a good slam yesterday,” instagrammed his dad, Carey Hart, 42, an ex-motocross star. “Bloody nose and all! Even has the war wound to prove it.” The normal knocks of childhood are something Hart and singer Pink are ready to roll with. More important for them in raising Jameson and daughter Willow, 6, is celebrating individuality. “We are a very label-less household,” Pink, 38, told the UK’s Mirror on Dec. 2. “Last week Willow told me she is going to marry an African woman. I was like: ‘Great, can you teach me how to make African food?’ And she’s like, ‘Sure Mama, and we are going…

“He just makes her so happy”—Kim KardashianWest Following their fairytale wedding on Nov. 16 in New Orleans, tennis pro Serena Williams, 36, and her new husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, 34, jetted off to the private Bahamian island of Kamalame Cay for a nine-day getaway with their 3-month-old daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. The newlyweds, who counted Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian West among the guests at their wedding, stayed in a four-bedroom villa just 30m from the beach, but it wasn’t all downtime—the Grand Slam champ had some practice on the resort’s tennis court. “I’ve known Serena for so long and am so happy she’s found her prince,” Kardashian West told Vogue. “She’s been so happy and has this light about her that is so special to see.

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 Broadening your horizons is the theme of the moment. Yes, you may have to take a little more care with your planning and ensure that what you think you’ve done is actually what you have done. Also you may have to leave a little more time for journeys and meetings. But follow those instincts of yours and get going. For more, phone 1902 261 655. TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 Just because people are taking time to get back to you does not mean they are not prepared to negotiate. And a similar trend could be apparent in a romantic relationship. It may seem as though you are not on the same page or that someone’s ardour is cooling, but the relationship is in transition and requires…

THE LAST WORD ASHLEY JUDD LAST TIME I DANCED Oh my gosh, I dance all the time! I was just in line for a green drink, and my friend and I were dancing.

During a speech to the LowerHouse,Wilson, 37, addressed his boyfriend of nine years, school teacher Ryan Bolger, 33, who was in the gallery. “In my first speech [to parliament] I defined our bond by the ring that sits on both of our left hands—they are the answer to the question we cannot ask,” said Wilson. “So there’s only one thing left to do: Ryan Patrick Bolger, will you marry me?” A smiling Bolger nodded and his answer was recorded in Hansard—the report of the proceedings in Parliament.
