ALTHOUGH KHLOE KARDASHIAN decided to stay with boyfriend Tristan Thompson in the wake of his alleged infidelity during her pregnancy, a source tells WHO the couple’s relationship has “changed.” News of the NBA star’s cheating broke just two days before they welcomed their first child together, daughter True, on April 12. Now living in Cleveland, where Thompson plays for the Cavaliers, “Khloé has good days and bad days with Tristan,” says the source. “They had a very calm relationship before those videos and pictures were released.

In Whitney, a documentary created with the support of Houston’s relatives that premiered in Cannes on May 16, her brother and a longtime assistant divulge what they say is the family’s darkest secret: that as a child, Houston was allegedly sexually abused by her older cousin Dee Dee Warwick.

“Her notoriety didn’t stir any feelings of respect in me” —Kerry Tucker In custody, awaiting sentencing for stealing $1.96 million from businesses she worked for between 1997 and 2003, in what was then the worst case of white-collar crime by a female in Australia, Melbourne mum Kerry Tucker made a silent pledge to her two young daughters, Shannyn and Sarah: “One day I will leave this place and you will be proud that I am your mummy.

There are many mysteries in the nighttime desert. A spooky whistling noise could be the wind or a wolf ’s howl. A shift of movement in the sand might be moonlight or a rattlesnake. A stranger approaching could be a crazed lunatic or someone who is desperately lost, seeking help, pleading to have a story heard. At 11:15 PM on Jan. 4, 1957, a truck driver named Richard D. Corn became the first of many to hear one such tale. Corn was barrelling his tractor-trailer 24km east of Coachella, California, when his headlights illuminated a blonde woman with sand in her hair, dressed in a bathrobe and slippers, waving her arms on the highway. “I had a hard time stopping,” Corn later told police. “She runs around to the side…

STARRING: Dylan McDermott McDermott, whose unusual ability to look smouldering yet remote has served him well in quite a few dramas, plays Captain Dave, a comically smug but hapless pilot (he shows up for one flight with his wrist in a cast and a convoluted story about an antique armoire). An upcoming episode hinges on a bang-up stunt: Captain Dave’s rival, the debonair Captain Steve, is played by guest star Dermot Mulroney. The public confusion over which actor is which has been a dependable Hollywood gag for years—wouldn’t it be easier for everyone if they decided to be co-pilots? (Starts Sun., June 3, 8 PM; Fox8)…

It’s been almost 40 years since she bared (almost) all in Blue Lagoon , but Brooke Shields still loves to rock a bikini. The actress, 52, stars in Swimsuits for All’s new size-inclusive Power Suit campaign—and she’s more confident than ever! “Growing up under such scrutiny led me to feel insecure about my looks. When I was younger, I never loved being in a swimsuit because I picked apart the way I looked in them. It took me years to separate the opinions of others from my own,” says Shields, who has two daughters: Rowan, 15, and Grier, 12. “At 52 years old, I finally feel comfortable and proud of all the hard work I’ve put into my body. I can say that I feel confident being…

Even before she was a duchess, Meghan was a royal trendsetter. Stepping out in $246 skinny jeans by Hiut Denim Co. in Wales on Jan. 18, Meghan launched global interest in the tiny Welsh label. “It’s had a halo effect everywhere,” says co-founder David Hieatt. Thanks to the explosive demand, Hieatt has employed eight new staff members and is looking to move to a bigger factory. “We must be one of the few jeans companies that have no jeans. The shelves are barren,” he says. And after Meghan wore earrings by Paris-based jeweller Vanessa Tugendhaft on May 22, “We were completely sold out in 10 minutes,” says Tugendhaft. “It was crazy!”…

MASTERCHEF’S BRENDAN PANG TELLS WHO it took“about a month”to recover from a gash he incurred during the brunch challenge that aired on May 23. “This was just a freak accident,”he says. “The worst injury I had ever sustained.” After tripping on stairs and cutting his hand on a smashed bottle of olive oil, the Perth social worker, 24, was rushed to hospital and received 13 stitches.“I was really lucky to have not cut through any tendons or muscles,”says Brendan, who then recovered in the contestant house, spending his time studying recipes and cookbooks. For his next kitchen tests, he made up for his lack of mobility with smart planning, like using lobster instead of meat—which he would have had to mince—for Gordon Ramsay’s burger challenge on May 28.“I’m…

Before the 12-year-old moved in with the Thorburn family near Brisbane in 2015, Tiahleigh “Tia” Palmer was in a good place. Tia’s mother, Cindy, a troubled single mum who had suffered “severe” domestic violence, had surrendered care of her daughter to the Department of Child Safety, and Tia moved in with a foster family in Gympie, Queensland, where the“fun-loving” girl who loved horses stayed for more than two years.“My kids idolised her,” Tia’s former foster mum Julie Pemberton told WHO. “She had a twinkle in her eye. I loved her like my own daughter.” In her next foster home there was no such love, only misery and abuse—and in the end, the ultimate betrayal. In a case that sent shock waves through Brisbane and beyond, Rick Thorburn, 57, pleaded guilty…

The film Whitney explores how her parents’ troubles devastated Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s only daughter, Bobbi Kristina “Krissy”Brown—who herself died at 22, six months after being found unconscious in a bathtub under eerily similar circumstances to her mum’s death.“She hated her life,”says Houston’s sister-in-law and Whitney executive producer Pat Houston, during her documentary interview. It was a life troubled from the start. In one scene, a close family friend, Ellen“Aunt Bae”White, describes how Krissy arrived on her doorstep as a newborn. Whitney had allegedly checked herself out of hospital early and showed up“hunched over”asking her to “bathe”the baby. A tearful White claims that Houston didn’t return for months and that Krissy went on to live with her until she was 8.…

“It came as a complete shock—she wasn’t sick” —Monika Simpson Though her mother was 84 and in a nursing home, her death late last year came as a heartrending shock to Monika Simpson. Grandmother-of-nine Charlotte “Lottie” Paluszak had been suffering no pain at the Carinity Fairfield Grange nursing home in Townsville, Queensland, and despite having dementia, her physical health was fine. “She was in good spirits,” Simpson, 61, tells WHO. “Mum had a wicked sense of humour and even though she was suffering from dementia, she still had a joke with us.” But having been told their mum had died from diabetes in November, Simpson and her siblings, Petra Andersen and Harold Paluszak, were delivered a bombshell. “We got a bill for morphine that was used the night she died,”…

PARDON MY SARONG (1942) In this Abbott and Costello comedy, McDonald is on screen for only a few minutes as an exotic island girl. But the role earned the actress her nickname: The Body.

GUEST IN THE HOUSE (1944) Anne Baxter ( All About Eve ) chews scenery as a wicked woman trying to seduce a married artist (Ralph Bellamy). McDonald is subtle by comparison as his boozy muse.

MEGAN HESS Illustrator Megan Hess started her career with a course in graphic design. “I studied graphic design because it felt like a ‘real’ job, but really always wanted to be an illustrator—I just never knew back then that it was a career choice,” says Hess.

The Gruen panellist, 48, tests his mind, body and spirit once more on Body Hack 2.0 (starting Thurs., May 31 at 8.30 PM on Ten). But first, he must survive this chat with WHO’s Cynthia Wang. The Sadhus of India suffer pain for enlightenment. Do you? That’s a good question. I guess physical training is that—I put myself through forced hardship and simulated hardship to be physically able, and I do that regularly. Sometimes I bring myself to the point of I’m ready to kind of vomit from the activity, but that’s artificial forced hardship. It’s certainly not holding your arm up for 19 years.

HE ONCE SAID HE didn’t think “human beings are meant to be in 40-year-long monogamous, faithful relationships,” but somewhere in his heart Hugh Grant has found faith in the institution of marriage. At London’s Chelsea Register Office on May 25, the actor, 57, wed his long-time girlfriend, TV producer Anna Eberstein, 39, in a sweetly casual scene worthy of one of his romantic comedies. The pair welcomed a third child in March—son John is 5, their daughter is 2—and Grant also has Felix, 5, and Tabitha, 6, with his ex Tinglan Hong. Experiencing fatherhood later in life “was the nicest thing that’s ever happened to me—he said, sounding clichéd—but it happens to be true,” Grant said in January. “It’s just lovely to have all that love around.

SPOTTED PUBLICLY FOR THE first time since eight women told CNN he sexually harassed them or made inappropriate comments to them, Morgan Freeman headed to the Georgia set of noir thriller The Poison Rose on May 28, keeping a low profile. In a statement issued four days earlier, the Oscar-winning actor said, “Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy. I apologise to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected—that was never my intent.” Among 16 people interviewed by CNN, one former production assistant said that Freeman would often touch her and make “constant comments about the way I looked” and once, in 2015, “kept trying to lift my skirt up” and asked “if I…
