Ada Nicodemou is looking better than ever. After smashing the WHO eight-week challenge in July and showing off the fruits of her labour as our cover star, the 40-year-old mum really has become fitness goals for many of us in the office and so many of you out there. When Ada’s cover hit newsstands I had so many messages and emails saying ‘How do I get those abs?!’ and ‘I didn’t even know those side abs existed!.’ Ada proves that 40 is the new whatever-the-hell-you-want it to be, if you’re willing and able to give it all you’ve got. We spotted Ada on the set of Home And Away in Palm Beach recently, absolutely glowing in a gold bikini. Can you imagine shooting TV scenes in…

AFTER TWO STINTS ON DATING SHOWS THE Bachelor and Bachelor In Paradise , Ali Oetjen is ready to try for third time lucky in her debut as the Bachelorette on Oct.10. But before she starts handing out roses to potential love interests, she spoke to WHO about a certain thorn from her past, Grant Kemp. “We all have one of those ex-boyfriends that just won’t go away, and he’s unfortunately one of those guys who is adamant and someone who wants those headlines and isn’t giving in. I’ve just come to peace with it,” Oetjen says of her ex-boyfriend Kemp’s explosive cheating claims. Now, though, she says she’s focusing her energy on what’s to come. “The thing is, there are always two sides…

Married At First Sight star Telv Williams’ arrest after being escorted from a Melbourne pub in handcuffs following a scuffle on Sept. 22 is the latest of a string of scandals the stars of the Channel Nine reality show have faced since the series ended in April. Just days after the incident, in which Williams was questioned by police after the alleged “vicious attack,” which took place in the early hours at the Albion in South Melbourne, the 34-year-old took to social media to address one of his followers who labelled the tradie-turned-TV-star a “loser” for “beating up people.” “Wrong, actually,” Williams fired back in a comment that has since been deleted. “My dad was king hit.” It’s believed Williams had been out with his father the night the incident…

HE MIGHT BE IN THE MIDST OF A divorce battle with his former wife Angelina Jolie, but Brad Pitt certainly isn’t dwelling on it. The 54-year-old actor was spotted enjoying himself during the Red Hot Chili Peppers performance at the annual Silverlake Conservatory of Music Benefit Gala in Los Angeles on Sept. 29. Sporting a dark blazer and a golf cap, the hunky actor looked to be in happy spirits in the company of holistic healer and jewellery designer Sat Hari. The pair appeared to be cosy as they chatted animatedly to each other during the event. In fact, onlookers revealed that the pair flirted all night and stared longingly into each other’s eyes. The duo were also spotted leaving the event together in Pitt’s Tesla. Hari’s connection to Red…

“Michael was very sweet on her. He called her ‘my baby’ ” In 1989 Kylie Minogue was one of the most famous women in the world, thanks to her role on Neighbours and a string of hit pop songs. Michael Hutchence was still riding high with the success of INXS’ breakthrough album Kick , released in 1987. While their relationship lasted just two years, his sister Tina Hutchence explains in her book Michael, My Brother, Lost Boy of INXS how their feelings were heartfelt and intense. “Sophistication had not yet entered her lexicon but she was working on it – and Michael was doing his damnedest to help her along on that path. I liked Kylie – how could…

Kevin Hart has built one of Hollywood’s most lucrative comedy careers out of being self-deprecating – he mocks his 1.63m stature and jokes about his credit cards not working. But in reality he’s pretty proud of himself. Asked about almost any chapter of his life, he calls it “amazing”. His childhood, for example: “My personality was unbelievable. I had a heart of gold, loved to laugh and make people laugh. Little Kevin was amazing!” High school? “I was the class clown. It was great.” Still, his attitude, whether he’s reflecting on his tough upbringing in Philadelphia or talking about weathering a cheating scandal, isn’t blind optimism but a mindset. At 39, the father of three admits he’s seen some hard times, but he refuses to let them bring him down.…

“I’ve learned so much and am learning”— Badgley How do you play a character you detest? When Penn Badgley started portraying Joe Goldberg, the terrifying – and terrifyingly charming – stalker at the centre of Lifetime’s new drama series You, he turned to religion. “I’d pray a lot. I’d meditate,” he says. “If anything, I was trying to understand the humanity of Joe because I hated him personally. The spiritual aspect helped me be unconcerned enough with [the show] having some kind of negative effect on me, my soul and my spirit.” Eleven years after Gossip Girl shot him to sudden stardom, Badgley, 31, says he now has a happier, healthier relationship with the spotlight. Six seasons on the CW teen drama and high-profile romances with Blake Lively and Zoë…

More than the birthplace of ABBA, Stockholm is Sweden’s capital of style. Andrea Black finds the best shopping, bars, restaurants and things to do. No matter what age you are, you can definitely hum an ABBA song. It might be“Mamma Mia”, perhaps “Waterloo”, maybe “Dancing Queen”. The Swedish band were a phenomenon here in Australia that has crossed generations so any visit to Stockholm, Sweden’s capital, has to include a visit to ABBA: The Museum. A music fan not highly fond of ABBA, for this tourist, it was a revelation. Frida, Agnetha, Björn and Benny have been Bjorn again in this interactive museum, and judging from the predominantly Aussie accents heard singing the classics over the karaoke machine, I am not the only one who loved it. Not only can…

He’s appeared in a swag of local shows such as Jack Irish , Harrow and Rake , playing politician Cal McGregor. What will conniving Cal get up to in the series finale (Sun., Oct. 7 at 8.40pm; ABC)? The 53-year-old actor, next seen in Netflix’s Tidelands , gives WHO the scoop. Rake is coming to an end. Cal really has been on a roller-coaster ride over the series, hasn’t he? He’s had many twists and turns over his career. His first love is politics, that’s where he started. So, when given the opportunity this season, he jumped at going back to it. Was Cal modelled on anyone? Very early on, [co-creator] Peter [Duncan] had suggested…

The 21-year-old winner of The Voice Season 6 returns with his second album, Real Good Time (out Oct. 5), and tells WHO about the songs that have had an impact. What’s the first song you remember hearing? I feel like it’s something by The Wiggles, maybe “Mashed Potato” or “Wake Up Jeff”. What song do you never want to hear again? “Baby Shark”! Can we just all agree that song is ridiculous and no-one should have to hear it again? What song do you wish you’d written? “Amazed” by Lonestar. Sure it’s a cheesy wedding song now, but the way it was written is absolutely genius. The way it changes keys is so seamless. I’m just really … amazed. [ Laughs…

THEY WERE THE FAN FAVOURITES TO WIN Love Island Australia, and Eden Dally and Erin Barnett – who have split since telling WHO about their IVF plans in August – show no sign of stepping out of the spotlight. Post-split, things between the couple have turned very sour, with each party taking to social media to call out the other. Now, among all the drama, a photo has surfaced of Dally with what appears to be a white substance neatly placed on a plate in front of him. But the 25-year-old tells WHO the image is purely innocent. “We were playing Cards Against Humanity and then we were doing tequila shots,” he says. “We got the salt on the plate and one of the dares was either sniff it or…

SHE WAS ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL characters in last season’s series of Married At First Sight , but it’s clear Davina Rankin’s off-screen life couldn’t be more different from her drama-plagued reality television stint. Happily living with her partner of eight months, Jaxon Manuel, the 27-year-old told WHO she’s the happiest she’s ever been following the backlash from her reality-television debut, where she was painted as a villain for arranging a secret date with Dean Wells behind her TV “husband” Ryan Gallagher’s back. “He’s such a caring, uplifting and positive person,” Rankin says of Manuel, 32. “He’s very dedicated and motivated and he’s gorgeous, so that helps.” In fact, the loved-up couple are so committed to each other they’ve even discussed their future and marriage, and…

SHE’S KNOWN FOR HER HARD-partying ways, but relaxing on the deck of a luxury yacht in the South of France on Oct. 1, a glowing Kate Moss looked the picture of health following her dramatic lifestyle overhaul. Rocking a bikini and golden tan, the 44-year-old make-up-free model, who is said to have cut down on the booze and adopted healthier habits in the past few months, appeared relaxed and carefree as she basked in the sunshine and spent time with her boyfriend of three years, German aristocrat Count Nikolai von Bismarck, 31, and a group of friends in Saint-Tropez. “I’ve never been a gym bunny or anything like that,” she told The Guardian of her new lifestyle.“I was always, like, ‘Ugh,’ it made me feel ill, but now I’ve actually…

With his new film Harmony set to be released in cinemas across Australia on Oct. 4, this should be an incredibly exciting time for Jerome Meyer, but he has mixed feelings as he remembers his co-star and friend Jessica Falkholt, who tragically lost her life in January. “It is bringing up a lot of emotion” Meyer tells WHO of the film’s release. “But I am also ready for the release of the film to be over so that I can have the film for myself and use it as a tool to remember her.” Returning to Sydney on Boxing Day after a trip on the NSW South Coast, the family’s vehicle was struck by another car, killing Falkholt’s father, Lars, 69, mother, Vivian, 60, and her sister, Annabelle, 21, and…

The world first met Jennifer Love Hewitt in the early 1990s on hit TV show Party of Five and films including I Know What You Did Last Summer . Now, after a five-year hiatus from our screens since welcoming her son Atticus, 3, and daughter Autumn, 4, the actress is back – and loving it!

“I gained about 4.5kg for the role”— Rose McGowan It’s hard to believe it has been two decades since the Halliwell sisters left us spellbound from the first episode of the fantasy drama Charmed, which aired in October 1998 to a record-breaking audience of 7.7 million viewers. The show, which followed the lives of three beautiful witches – Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) – as they protected the innocent and destroyed evil instantly became a cult hit with eager fans tuning in every week as the kick-ass siblings used their magical powers to take on deadly demons and warlocks. Though it wasn’t just the sisters’ ability to orbit, hover, shield and heal that had viewers enthralled for nine spellbinding seasons, but their tumultuous social,…

1 EXFOLIATE Cate Blanchett’s facialist, Georgia Louise, says: “It’s important to regularly remove dead skin cells.” Try a gentle polish scrub, or wipe away flakes twice a day with a skin-sloughing toner. Look for solutions containing both alpha hydroxy acid, known to “loosen up dead cells” so they shed easily, and beta hydroxy acid, which “penetrates deeper into clean pores”, says Louise. 2 BI-WASH AT NIGHT To ensure you remove every impurity, try this two-step process, says esthetician Barbara Close. Begin with an oil-based cleansing balm – it’s excellent at taking off makeup and surface oil – emulsify with warm water and wipe off with a warm cloth. Next, try a hydrating, sulphate-free cleanser to help eliminate excess oil without drying or stripping skin. 3 REMOVE REDNESS “When you have…

A STAR IS BORN SOUNDTRACK It is set to be one of the biggest films of 2018, and the soundtrack accompanying musical drama A Star Is Born is just as hotly anticipated, with 19 songs performed by stars Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who also co-wrote and directed the movie. If tender ballad “Shallow” – the first track released – is anything to go by, it’ll also be huge.

THEIR BITTER BREAK-UP AFTER meeting on Bachelor in Paradise made headlines when Grant Kemp revealed Ali Oejten had cheated on him with one of his friends while she was visiting him in the US once the show wrapped earlier this year. Now, as Oejten prepares to star as Australia’s new Bachelorette, Kemp has opened up to WHO exclusively about her wild partying while they were together and the shocking details behind her split from her fiancé prior to her appearance on Bachelor in Paradise. “Ali had been engaged for, like, three months before going on Bachelor in Paradise so once the show finished I asked her to explain the situation, like why did they break up,” Kemp says. “She kind of ended up accidentally spilling to me that she had…

SINCE FILMING HAS FINISHED ON THE BLOCK , Sara has shed a startling 8kg from her small frame to get back her pre-baby body. “I had so much baby weight and it was driving me insane,” Sara, 33, reveals. “I got down to about 59kg for my wedding and then I went on honeymoon and it crept back up to about 63kg, which was what I was going into The Block .” Like many Block contestants, the physical activity meant Sara lost weight, however it was post-filming indulgences that gave her the wake-up call. “It felt like yo-yoing and I was never a yo-yoer. When I got home I thought, ‘This is enough.’” She turned to friends who introduced her…

IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE SHE won the heart of Richie Strahan on The Bachelor, and now Alex Nation says she has a crush on Nick Cummins. “I thought, ‘He’s actually my type of guy’ – the Aussie larrikin, a bit of a bogan,” Alex reveals WHO. “On my season, the girls used to call me ‘bogan chic’ so I was like, ‘I love this guy!’ ” The 27-year-old also revealed her soft spot for Nick’s reject, Cass Wood. “She was put into the same category as myself, you know the ‘stage-five clinger,’ ” Nation says. “I messaged her on Instagram and gave her some support and said, ‘Stage-five clingers stick together.’ ” The mum-of-one reveals she hasn’t been in touch with Strahan since their split. “I hoped we’d maintain…

She won the hearts of viewers across the globe as she ate, prayed and loved her way around the world as Elizabeth Gilbert in the 2010 film Eat Pray Love, but Julia Roberts credits her current fit figure to eating in moderation – because following a strict regimen would just drive her “crazy”. “I feel like if I knew all the things to do [in terms of exercise], I would probably look like I was put together with tape,” the 50-year-old told InStyle magazine. “I would just go crazy. So I think, better just to remain calm, drink your water, get your sleep and be joyful.” The actress told the UK’s Express that she doesn’t “spend a lot of time looking in the mirror. These days I’m pretty efficient in…

“I’d move [to LA] if the opportunity came about” He won the nation’s heart – and that of now-wife Anna Heinrich – as Australia’s very first Bachelor. Now, Tim Robards is about to win over the residents of Erinsborough too with a guest role on Neighbours . For Robards, 35, the transition to acting has always been a dream. “I had done a few acting lessons and some one-on-one stuff over the years, but it was always sort of tenth on my priority list,” he says. “At the start of the year I was like, ‘I need to start investing in this. Then, right before my wedding, [the Neighbours ] audition came through. My agent said, ‘Do you want us to put you forward?’…

A minute after excusing herself to use her hotel bathroom – the door of which she left ajar, because “who’s gonna see anything?” – Cher emerges. She sits on an easy chair in the living room of her West Hollywood suite and announces, “I’m ready.”The icon, who over 30 years ago arrived at the Oscars in a bejewelled, barely there Bob Mackie gown, still knows how to make an entrance. Today, off-duty Cher has opted for black sweatpants and sheepskin boots rather than couture and diamonds. At 72 years old, the diva – born Cherilyn Sarkisian in 1946 to Georgia Holt, now 92, and the late John Paul Sarkisian – has accomplished more than she ever dreamed. The mother of sons Chaz Bono, 49, and Elijah Blue Allman, 42, has…

“He was professional, charming, attractive and friendly”— Jessica Vanden Brink Residents of Dr Grant Robicheaux’s upscale neighbourhood in Newport Beach, California, recall waving to the handsome orthopaedic surgeon – named 2013’s Bachelor of the Year by Orange Coast Magazine and featured on a TV reality dating show – as he walked the quaint streets with his pretty girlfriend Cerissa Riley, a substitute public teacher. “He was in his scrubs a lot out walking his dog,” says neighbour Stephen Sumney, 56. “He always looked busy. They always seemed like they wanted to get home.” What police say was going on in that home has horrified neighbours and revealed a shocking investigation two years in the making. On Sept. 12, police arrested Robicheaux, 38, and Riley, 31, and charged them with drugging…

Pip I was having a drink with a friend when I worked at [General Pants] and she said, “What are you doing with yourself, you should be doing something sporty like PE,” I literally fell off my chair.

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 It’s good to talk. And it is especially good to talk when Pluto is angling Mercury, endeavouring to reveal secrets and bring things forgotten back into circulation. Take time to absorb the information and acquire a little distance and perspective before going on the defensive or tweeting out the good news. For more, phone 1902 261 655. TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 On Friday Venus performs a U-turn and will spend the next five or so weeks going back over old ground. This is very good news for some Taureans because a separation could be reversed and a decision made by an organisation reconsidered. For others, a cooling in a relationship could occur, or a plan placed on hold even cancelled. For more, phone 1902 261 655.…

As she drew back her black hood in a teaser clip released by the BBC last year, Jodie Whittaker was conscious that her reveal as the first female incarnation of the titular Time Lord in cult series Doctor Who would have an impact. And the casting of a woman in a role that has been restricted to men for more than five decades most certainly caught people’s attention. Even mine, and I fell out of love with the sci-fi phenomenon when David Tennant’s reign as the 10th Doctor ended at the start of 2010. As far as I’m concerned, the prospect of a female Doctor materialising on my screen this week (Season 11 starts Mon., Oct. 8 at 5.55pm; ABC) is a welcome change because, as…

The New York Times bestselling author, 44, is back with Simplicious Flow , filled with hundreds of healthy, easy-to-make recipes. How did the idea for this book come about? I have been writing cookbooks for so long but the way we go about cooking is so wasteful. My aim was to teach people to cook sustainably. We are wasting food and it is killing the planet. What is your favourite recipe in the book? I really like the banana peel cake, which uses no sugar. There is also an inside-out smashed avocado toast recipe, which uses the skin and brown parts. You put all that in the loaf, and you can warm it up and eat it with butter. Do you have a…

CAT POWER Wanderer Power, aka Chan Marshall, releases album No.10, and her first as a mother – that’s her toddler son on the record cover. The singer-songwriter also produced Wanderer , so called because the 11 tracks encompass her life’s journey so far. The title track sets the tone, topping and tailing the record with a stripped-back call to a higher power. Then there is the haunting cover of Rihanna’s “Stay”. But the standout track is “Woman”, a duet with Lana del Rey, their atmospheric voices blending magically. Power is a bowerbird, weaving folk, soul and blues to create a peculiarly fetching indie nest. (Out Oct. 5)…

The radio presenter, 32, assists Grant Denyer on Game of Games (starts on Sun., Oct. 7 at 7.30pm; Ten) and tells WHO the last time she … Saw something ridiculous My 3-year-old niece trying to floss while everyone in the room stifled their laughs and told her how great her dancing was. Hated a song enough to turn the radio off What are you talking about? I love every song on the radio – that’s my job. Just kidding, “7 Years” by Lukas Graham drives me bonkers.

BARLOW’S FAMILY PAIN Take That singer Gary Barlow has opened up about the death of his daughter Poppy, who was stillborn. Poppy died just days before Barlow had to perform at the London Olympics in 2012. In an extract from his new autobiography, A Better Me , released in The Sun , Barlow described his and wife Dawn’s heartbreaking loss. “Ten days before the Olympic closing ceremony our daughter Poppy died,” he wrote. “She was stillborn at full term. The Olympics ceased to exist, it just left my mind. Instead we were consumed by the worst thing that had ever happened to us.” Although he worried about discussing something so personal, Barlow said in the book he hoped “sharing our story” would help others…

“What an amazing, warm welcome back to the stage after 10 years (too many!)” Christina Aguilera said she felt “alive” after beginning her first tour in a decade “This is my phone number, and I want you to call me. And I want you to tell me your story in a voicemail.” Fifty Shades Freed actress Dakota Johnson gave out her personal details and encouraged audience members at a Global Citizen Festival in New York to get in touch. “He’s always right in the end, but I’m just like, it’s my Instagram — you can’t tell me what to post. I’m allowed to have an opinion.” Kim Kardashian revealed on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that she fought with husband Kanye West over her Instagram account.…
