U MA THURMAN HAS HARBOURED not only anger towards notorious producer Harvey Weinstein, but also guilt. “I am one of the reasons that a young girl would walk into his room alone,” she told The New York Times in an exposé of the tale she promised in October to share when ready. On Feb. 3 she reflected that “All these lambs walked into slaughter because they were convinced nobody rises to such a position who would do something illegal to you, but they do … I stand as both a person who was subjected to it and a person who was then also part of the cloud cover.” In a Paris hotel after their 1994 film Pulp Fiction had become a hit, Weinstein, 65 (plus infamous bathrobe), led her to…

LAST WEEK DAVINA Rankin told WHO that with what she saw as her less-than-impressive marriage to Ryan Gallagher she is open to a husband swap. Now the Instagram model freely admits her attraction to “alpha male” Dean Wells, revealing she plans to steal “just one” husband during the series. “I can’t wait till we live together and we can all sleep together,” she tells Wells as they flirt at the first dinner party (airing Feb. 8). Despite having been intimate with his new “bride,” Tracey Jewel, Wells, 39, has privately questioned if the 34-year-old single mum is right for him, and declares at the dinner, “there’s a few hotties here ... I mean, Davina’s pretty cute, for sure—holy shit, I’m definitely attracted to her.” With insiders confirming the pair grow…

As a Hollywood divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser has seen her share of ugliness—including one client who fed laxatives to his ex-wife’s cat so it would soil her pristine white condo. “There have been some thrown water glasses. There was once a stiletto heel that got stuck in our conference room door,” she says. Still, the $US850-an-hour lawyer says she tries to steer her clients away from fighting dirty. “Mediation makes the most sense in almost every divorce,” she says of her go-to method for dividing assets behind closed doors instead of in court. Now Wasser, 49, divorced herself with two sons (Luke, 12, and Jack, 8), wants to make her expertise accessible via her website itsovereasy.com. “We want to make the legal aspect easier and less expensive. We bank online,…

Stress is a normal part of life, but too much can cause elevated levels of the hormone cortisol, which has a knock-on effect on the immune system, digestion, mood and sleep (see box). A balanced diet, exercise and getting enough sleep are key to reducing cortisol levels, but some herbal supplements can help, too. Jessica Spendlove, performance nutritionist for the GWS Giants, Cronulla Sharks and Giants Netball ( jessicaspendlove.com ), gives her picks to reducing stress with herbs. LEMON BALM EXTRACT The supplement Bluenesse has been shown in German studies to improve mental focus, as well as reduce cortisol levels in people doing stressful tasks. LAVENDER This sleep-promoting scent reduces irritability and evokes calmness. Use as a tea or as essential oil in a bath or vaporiser. TURMERIC…

Was there one moment that inspired The Wonderling, or had the story been brewing inside you for a while? My main character popped out one day at random while I was working in my sketchbook, but I think the story actually had been brewing inside me for years, although I didn’t know it until recently. A few months ago, I found a drawing I did when I was 14. It was an illustration for a fairytale I had written about a magical creature who, like my fox-boy hero, Arthur, must “sing to the lonely, comfort the frightened, and awaken the love in sleeping hearts.” As a child, did you always have your nose buried in a book? Yes and no. I loved to read, but I was also an “outside…

Tourism Australia’s 60-second, star-studded Super Bowl spot—a faux Dundeetrailer—was so delicious even stars like Magda Szubanski tweeted, “PLEASE MAKETHIS FILM.” Tourism spokesman Chris Hemsworth joked to Danny McBride,“We needed a sexy American actor to convince Americans to visit Australia!”…

THINGS “GOT REAL” FOR ‘HOME and Away star James Stewart at the playground gate, linking up with former fiancée Jessica Marais for their daughter Scout’s first day at primary school on Feb. 2. “That’s when it hit me as her father that I have to step back and let Scout find her first steps of independence,” says Sydney-based Stewart, 42. “I couldn’t help but fret for her … I’ve done nothing but help her all her life. Now it’s her turn. As she walked off, I slid the sunnies down over my tears.” The proud parents, who met as co-stars on Packed to the Rafters, split in 2015 after a five-year engagement, when Scout was 3. Now their little girl is 5, Stewart and Love Child favourite Marais, 33, remain…

THREE MONTHS INTO HER engagement to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle already has a record of smoothly breaking with royal tradition—signing autographs, sporting ripped jeans, pre-emptively spending Christmas with her not-yet in-laws. And striding into London’s Goldsmith Hall on Feb. 1 with Prince Harry, 33, in her first evening red-carpet event as a royal fiancée, the former Suits actress, 36, chose a (gasp) pantsuit for the Endeavour Fund Awards, celebrating sick or injured veterans who have used sport to help with their recovery. Although not yet a royal, she also delivered a royal speech from the podium. “I’m truly privileged to be here,” she said, presenting Military Cross recipient Daniel Claricoates with the Celebrating Excellence Award. But despite Meghan’s polish, her half-sister, Samantha Markle, 53, continues to offer her opinion. Speaking…

“ASK SCOTT BAIO WHAT HAPPENED IN his garage at his house when I was a minor,” tweeted actress Nicole Eggert, 46, on Jan. 28. “Creep.”So began a war of words between the former Charles in Charge co-stars centring on a disturbing allegation squared at Baio. Eggert, who had previously said she and Baio“hooked up”when she was 16, said on Twitter that Baio, 57, molested her from age 14. The actors met on the 1980s sitcom when Eggert was 14 and Baio was 26. Baio vehemently denies the accusation. “Nicole is making up these claims about me,”he said on Facebook Live on Jan. 28. Two days later, mother-of-two Eggert said on NBC’s Megyn Kelly Today that the alleged sexual abuse“happened quite often”at the actor’s house until she was 16.“I was very…

PANTHER POWER LOS ANGELES, JAN. 29 The cast of Black Panther hit the premiere of the action flick starring Chadwick Boseman in a role debuted onscreen in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. “He has a cool suit, he’s masked, it’s mysterious, he’s a leader, he’s almost like James Bond at times,” Boseman told WHO,“so it’s so many different things that make you want to play the character.” HAPPY OVERALL LOS ANGELES, FEB. 2 After lunch…

Anyone looking to join the Terry family on their farm in Deloraine, Tasmania, a small town on the Meander River about a three-hour drive north of Hobart, will have to be fond of getting dirty, playing with dogs and hunting for a pricey, delicious fungus known as a truffle. “It’s something Henry and I have grown up with and we love it,” says Anna of life and work with her brother at Tasmanian Truffles, the company started by their father Tim, who harvested the first truffle in Australia in 1999. As competitors on My Kitchen Rules, Anna, 24, and Henry, 26, hope to bring more attention to their high-value produce, which can fetch anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 per kilo. “There are still so many people who think truffles are…

Following the political reign of black dresses at the recent Golden Globe Awards, the Critics’ Choice ceremony brought out a lighter side for fashion and beauty. And Kate Bosworth’s white couture gown made a standout statement. Bosworth told Instyle she purposely chose white, “Because the Globes had such a strong and important impact with everyone wearing black, I felt inspired to bring a sense of renewed optimism from that movement in my choice of dress today.” The ethereal style called for a minimalistic approach to hair and beauty. Marc Jacobs Beauty Global Artist, Hung Vanngo, was the man behind the makeup. Vanngo prepped Bosworth’s skin with hydrating Chanel products followed by Marc Jacobs beauty, including an oil-free foundation, for Bosworth’s matte complexion. He focused on eyes and lips with hints…

Multiple TV shows and a radio gig still mean a pared-down schedule for you. I went through a period in the last sort of four years just taking bits I could manage, leaving plenty of room for family time. That includes retreating to the family farm, where I’ve been isolated, really, from the world. I’ve sort of reached the point where I’m hungry for new adventures. So what do The Living Room folks have planned for you with this “Big Adventure”? They are sending the littlest bloke on television to cover the littlest attractions in the biggest cities. It wasn’t until I was halfway through it that I’m getting in on the joke. And you pilot a plane? Yeah! I’ve always wanted to go up in a jet. It happened…

THE WEEKEND TRIP WAS SUPPOSED to be a celebration of friendship. Hollywood elite couple Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood had invited actor Christopher Walken, her co-star in the film Brainstorm, to join them for a post-Thanksgiving sail off California’s Catalina Island on their boat Splendour, an 18m yacht Wood and Wagner had selected together after their wedding. But in the darkness of night on Nov. 28, 1981, Wood vanished from the boat; her body was found the next morning floating about a kilometre away. The tragic loss of the glamorous star of 50 films and 43-year-old mum of two was all the more horrific because of her well-known terror of dark water. Initially ruled an accidental drowning, Wood’s death was re-investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department beginning…

SAMANTHA HARRIS ROLE MODEL Discovered in a Girlfriend magazine competition at age 13, Samantha Harris went on to carve out a successful modelling career that in 2010 saw her become only the second Indigenous model to grace the cover of Vogue. When she was growing up in Tweed Heads, NSW, such an achievement“would never have crossed my mind,”says the 27-year-old. These days, Harris doesn’t limit her possibilities and is honoured to encourage other young women to dream big too, she tells WHO. As one of the few Indigenous models in the business, you’re inspiring a generation of young women—how does that feel? When I first wanted to be a model, I never thought that I would inspire so many young girls to pursue their careers, whether it’s modelling or whether…

FACES OF CHOPPER TV 1 UNDERBELLY FILES: CHOPPER STARRING: Aaron Jeffery, Ella Scott Lynch “There are two of you,” Chopper’s first love, Margaret (Scott Lynch), explains. “There’s beautiful Mark. And then there’s Chopper.” And that dichotomy of a man at times a loving father and son and obedient partner, at others a ruthless nutcase, is the essence of the complex, larger-than-life character portrayed so well by Jeffery in this two-part miniseries. There is some of the grit and titillation expected of the Underbelly franchise, but Chopper plays more as a poetic ode to a man who lived by the motto of “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” (Airs Sun., Feb. 11, 8.30 PM, and Mon., Feb 12, 9 PM; Nine) Q&A 2 DAVE HUGHES…

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 A brand new project could be in the offing, and new people entering your life should open your eyes to possibilities as yet undreamed of. On paper it looks good, but eclipses are capricious things: sometimes they change an aspect of your existence in the best of ways and sometimes they shake, rattle and roll you. For more, phone 1902 261 655. TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 It may be easier to give a situation a little more time to work itself out or allow someone a bit more leeway, but you would be better taking action now. This is the moment to go into self-protection or self-promotion mode. There is nothing to fear, Taurus, only everything to gain from putting your money where your mouth is!…
