IN THE WAKE OF JOE JACKSON’S DEATH, his son Michael’s doctor, Conrad Murray, has sensationally alleged Michael was chemically castrated to maintain his singing career.“The cruelty expressed by Michael that he experienced at the hand of his father,” Murray claimed on celebrity website The Blast.“The fact that he was chemically castrated to maintain his high-pitched voice is beyond words.” Murray, who served two years’ jail after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in relation to Michael Jackson’s 2009 death, added:“I knew and cared for Michael very well and he told me of the many sufferings at the hands of his father he encountered. It was dreadful, beyond imagination and words.” He ended the scathing attack, by saying,“I hope Joe Jackson finds redemption in hell.” Joe Jackson died aged 89 on June…

“MAFS has actually made [dating] more difficult” As he stood before the altar, Patrick Miller didn’t expect he would end up heartbroken, but months later he’s still picking up the pieces of love lost and struggling to deal with over-excited fans. Patrick, who shot to fame during Season 5 of Married At First Sight, tells WHO that despite garnering the attention of “so many people,” he has faced more difficulty in his quest to find love since being on the series. “A lot of people who talk to me now wouldn’t have talked to me in my previous life,” the 34-year-old operations manager concedes. “I didn’t know what was going to be happening after the show. I had no idea how to prepare for the fame. I didn’t have…

“The kids always come first for both of them. This is the main reason their relationship works so well”—A Lopez source Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are defining what it means to be a modern family. Dating since last February, the Shades of Blue actress, 48, and the former New York Yankees star turned entrepreneur, 42, have taken their romance around the world—with all their kids in tow. “Life is all about family for both of them,” says a Lopez source. The couple quickly formed a strong bond over their children—Lopez is mum to 10-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex Marc Anthony, while Rodriguez has daughters Natasha, 13, and Ella, 10, with former wife Cynthia Scurtis—and seamlessly merged their families. “The kids are all so close and amazing together,”…

Bubbly, blonde and with an infectious laugh, Alli Simpson exudes happiness and confidence. Yet beneath this carefree veneer, the younger sister of singing superstar, Cody, is riding an emotional roller-coaster. Not only is she dealing with her father’s recent shocking revelation that he was sexually abused as a child, she’s also negotiating the fallout of a painful break-up from Aussie musician Conrad Sewell. Speaking exclusively to WHO about the split, the 20-year-old singer displays a matter-of-fact maturity that belies her years. “It’s the hardest kind of break-up—when you still love one another,” she says. “It would almost be easier if the other person had actually done something bad, but for us it was a mutual decision.” Simpson began dating Sewell, 30, in 2015, and while they both blame career demands,…

Lily James was on a publicity tour in Australia for the film Baby Driver when she landed the role of a younger version of Meryl Streep’s character, Donna, in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again , the prequel/ sequel to 2008’s Mamma Mia . “The reality of it sunk in,” James tells WHO of taking on such a daunting role. “Meryl Streep is probably one of, if not the greatest actor of all time.” Suppressing initial flutters, the 29-year-old says she “decided to just go for it.” It’s a signature attitude that has seen James’s star rise rapidly—she played the titular role in 2015’s Cinderella , followed by Elizabeth Bennett in…

Welcome back to Australia? Is it good to be home? So good! I love coming home, especially because I get to see my friends and family. Do you get sick of all the travelling or is it just a part of the job that you have down pat? Not really, I actually feel very, very lucky that I get to see so much of the world. Can you share your beauty travel essentials? It stays the same whether I’m travelling or not. At the moment, I remove my makeup with Bioderma’s Sensibio H20 Micellar Cleanser, then wash with Luma Fresh Start Cleansing Gel, spritz with Nu Skin NaPCA Moisture Mist, then apply the Luma Brighten Up Beauty Serum. I’ll finish off with Lepaar Skin’s Lip Balm. My everyday makeup look…

When Gold Coast musician Amy Shark first heard “Adore” on the radio in 2016, she was both shocked and relieved. Having spent 10 years putting in hard yards writing and performing, she didn’t know what to expect when her ode to unrequited love premiered on Triple J. Yet, in an instant, the indie-pop artist locked up a record deal and, last November, won two ARIA awards. Shark, 32, tells WHO about the journey towards the release of her debut album, Love Monster (out now). How have you adapted to global fame? When everything started happening, I had very little time to digest just how big everything was getting, but I’ve been playing music and writing songs for such a long time and though I didn’t know…

The Lantana star, 47, who played steely Marion Frith on ABC’s Cleverman , tells WHO’s Cynthia Wang about taking on the role of a novelist with a bad case of writer’s block in The Second (streaming on Stan from July 20). What drew you to The Writer? She’s a faintly repressed intellectual, a sophisticate, but she’s very contained, and she’s struggling to deliver her second book. She forces herself, in that room, to face the blank page and write that story, and she gets to be a part of it and then ends up as a kind of Thelma and Louise character. The role is very physical. Did you train? I did a fair bit…

“I am so impressed with myself” A quick google by Oprah Winfrey of herself brought up unexpected results. “I have embraced my dad fat stomach now. I’ve got a dad bod I’ve got to work on” Once he was a sex symbol now John Stamos is a slack symbol. “I love you today more than yesterday … which was more than the day before … and so on and so forth.” Singer Carrie Underwood explains the compound interest that is her love of husband Mike Fisher. “I don’t believe it. I think you gotta know someone.” Selena Gomez is not into the whole “love at first sight” thing.…

IN A TRAGIC TWIST IT HAS BEEN revealed that just hours before they were killed, mother Michelle Petersen, 48, and her two children, daughter Bella, 15, and son Rua, had spent a beautiful evening together at their local church for the baptism of eight-year-old Rua. “They went to church, Rua got baptised and then that happened,” neighbour and friend Stacy tells WHO in an exclusive interview.

The father-of-two is dating screenwriter Kenicha Hatten, 44, and Walsh has confirmed her relationship with artist Fred Whitson. “John asked me to go out so I could meet his missus,” Patrick tells WHO. “They click really, really well.

“I’m pretty proud of him”—Sashi’s wife, Rabicca As a member of the elite special tactics and rescue unit in Singapore’s Police Force, Sashi Cheliah’s days were far from ordinary. “Every day was very interesting, and you go in with an open mind to expect the unexpected,” says the former officer turned MasterChef star. His work in the unit varied from VIP protection to counter-terrorism operations, and high-profile cases such as kidnappings or cases involving explosives. “It was a job that required a lot of physical and mental endurance,” says Sashi, 39. “As a kid I was very active and loved adventure, so I was attracted towards that kind of career path of high-intensity and pressure.” Yet his time in the special tactics unit and his current role as a…

“Ben is continuing to work on himself and knows he’ll always have to”—an Affleck friend One year after first taking their relationship public, Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus are going strong—and spending the northern summer together. Affleck, 45, who wrapped his next film Triple Frontier, “seems very happy that Lindsay is in LA now.” Affleck and the Saturday Night Live producer, 38, have been spotted dining out together and recently welcomed Shookus’s parents for a visit to Affleck’s new LA home, a $US19 million mansion not far from his ex Jennifer Garner’s house.

The main influence for the Thirteenth Doctor’s costume was a black-and-white photo Jodie Whittaker came across on the internet and sent to Doctor Who costume designer Ray Holman. “It’s just a Google image, and I have no idea what decade it is,” says the actress. “But it’s a woman in cropped trousers that are slightly too big, with a T-shirt, and braces, and boots. I just love the androgyny of it, without it being masculine.” It’s also a costume fit for the most physically active of time travellers. “The Doctor that I have created, and been given, is full of energy,” says Whittaker. “That costume had to move with me, rather than dictate the movement.” She also teases that the outfit also boasts yet-to-be-revealed attributes designed…

He’s been Ali G, Brüno and Borat but for his latest show, Sacha Baron Cohen takes on a whole load of different personas—including those of a paroled felon who uses his own body waste as art material; and a militant extremist who is garnering political support for kid-friendly guns. Scarily, he finds it. Below, some candidates believed to have been punked by Cohen’s guerilla tactics. (Now on Stan)…

YOSON AN Dead Lucky (SBS) The Chinese-New Zealander actor, 26, steps into the lead role opposite Rachel Griffiths as cop Charlie Fung in the drama Dead Lucky and will star in Disney’s upcoming live-action version of Mulan . What appealed to you about Charlie? He’s gentle and a little bit awkward, clever but very determined to make detective. But the thing that really attracted me about this character is that in many shows and movies, Asians are portrayed as one-dimensional, but in this case, there’s a whole lot of depth and layers to who Charlie really is. How was working with Rachel Griffiths? There was a bit of mentoring but it is a friendship, definitely. She made sure that every scene,…

When host RuPaul told Vanessa Vanjie Mateo to “sashay away” on Season 10 of Stan’s RuPaul’s Drag Race , the floral-bodysuited queen from Florida became a viral sensation—and meme magnet—with her trailing, inexplicable wail of “Miss Vanjie. Miss Vanjie. Miss Vaaaanjie .” Capitalising on that cri de coeur months later, the drag star has released her first single on iTunes, a club track called (wait for it) “I’m Vanjie”, in which she sasses back, “They sent me home first but it’s really fine/y’all remember my ass after just one line.”…

Now he has been tasked with taking on choreography for Shane Jacobson and seven other brave celebrities when they take it all off in The Real Full Monty (Sun., July 29, at 7 PM on Seven). Before then, he tackles a few revealing queries with WHO’s Cynthia Wang. Are dance novices easier or harder to choreograph than dance pros? You can do more with professionals, however, both have their challenges and rewards. It is great when you see a novice dancer conquer the choreography. Who surprised…

Kardashian then ditched the maroon workout gear to further show off a toned physique in a skintight neon outfit at the fun do. The “wow” moment revealed Kardashian’s post-baby body, including a flat stomach, muscular thighs and an enviable derrière, in a Yeezy bodysuit and bike shorts.

“This chapter of my life is full, amazing, exhausting and wonderful” Sutton Foster’s eyes shine when she describes a recent evening at home in Los Angeles with her husband, writer Ted Griffin, and their 16-month-old daughter Emily. “We were all sitting together, and Ted and I kissed Emily on the cheek,” says the Younger star, 43. “And then, for the first time, she kissed both of us on our cheeks! It was a top moment, and what’s amazing is that we keep having new top moments every day.” And after a difficult journey to motherhood, she isn’t taking a single second for granted. “I look at my life now and can’t believe how far I’ve come,” says the actress. Foster tried for more than three years to conceive with Griffin,…

Duchess of Sussex Meghan may have a new title, but Robert Zane (Wendell Pierce), her former TV character’s dad, is after one of his own when Suits returns for Season 8 on July 19. Helping him is a tough new character played by Katherine Heigl. WHO caught up with Heigl, 39, about her new role. How was it stepping into an established series, especially after the departures of Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams? It was so strange to almost dive into my TV screen and be in the world that I’ve been fascinated by for years now. Getting to meet the cast in person for the first time was really mind-blowing because they were themselves and not their characters. I’ve been doing this my whole…

Boxing has the benefits of high-intensity, cardio and muscle-defining moves, as well as churning through the calories. The challenge of concentrating on hand-eye coordination makes it a great exercise to distract you from the burn. Ben Lucas owner of Sydney’s Flow Athletic shares his tips on why boxing packs a punch. FULL BODY WORKOUT “Boxing can improve your fitness in multiple areas including strength, endurance, speed, reflexes, coordination and balance. This means your entire body and mind have to get involved,” says Lucas.
