Innholdsfortegnelse for 14 Janurary 2019 i WHO

I’ve eaten more ice-creams and sipped on more Aperol spritz than I’d care to admit this holiday period, but boy I’ve had a great time doing it. I spent my days off on the Gold Coast swimming with my family and eating hot chips by the pool – days that didn’t feel dissimilar to everyone else sharing their happy snaps on social media. I’m not sure if everyone worked too hard in 2018, but it felt like my family and friends really gave the holidays their all this year – with road trips, beach days and family celebrations galore. Now we’re back in the office, we’re all calling out for a little less sugar and more hydration (of the non-alcoholic variety, for a change!). We’ve simplified the healthy 2019 kickstart…

KATIE HOLMES AND HER BOYFRIEND Jamie Foxx let their guards down in the last weekend of 2018, with the two locking lips aboard a private yacht in Miami on Dec. 27. The actors, who have mostly kept their four-and-a-half-year courtship away from the public eye, danced on the luxurious boat and were all smiles in each other’s company. The Robin Hood actor and the former Dawson’s Creek star kept it casual: Holmes, 40, donned a pink pinstripe crop top with matching shorts, while Foxx, 51, sported a black T-shirt and jeans. The two even showed off their adventurous side by going for a jetski ride. Before heading out in the evening, the loved-up duo spent the day basking in the sun aboard the boat, with Holmes in a simple black…

With an umbrella in hand, Emily Blunt geared up to play the practically perfect Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns . The 35-year-old actress spoke to WHO, revealing how she hasn’t always had it all together, takes inspiration from her family and had a ball playing one of her childhood heroes. Who was it that put the magic in your childhood? I would have to say my mother’s mother, my nana we called her, she was kind of like a Mary Poppins for us. She was an amazing artist and she would make up stories for us and was endlessly loving. So I would say my nana was a huge influence on all of us. Did you watch the original Mary Poppins when…

You’re Lipbassador for Vaseline. Can you tell us what this entails? Vaseline has been a trusted household member of mine since I can remember. When they asked me to be their first official Lipbassador, I was stoked because it’s been the one product that’s never changed in my bathroom since I was a kid. Having seen the cult-success of Vaseline Lip Therapy in the UK, it’s something I now always have with me. What’s the best beauty advice you’ve been given? A little goes a long way! I always dab a little bit of highlighter on my cheekbones (or even use Lip Therapy on my collarbones!) to give that dewy, glowy look. Did your mum pass on any beauty advice to you? Not to put products with perfume on your…

After undergoing surgery to remove a tumour from her leg 15 years ago, Deb Vassilacos was told by doctors that she would walk with a limp for the rest of her life. However, the 53-year-old mother of two proved the medics wrong by learning to walk normally again and running distances, too. But when her marriage broke down six years ago, the Cronulla, NSW, resident found herself at rock bottom and turned to food for comfort. “I lost confidence in myself,”she told WHO. “I felt sick, tired, sad and ugly, and at my heaviest I weighed more than my dad.” Tired of feeling“claustrophobic in her own body”, Vassilacos joined Vision Personal Training in a bid to turn her life around. She worked out twice a week with her trainer Shawn…

More than just a talking press release, it delves deep into  the recording process.…

OCEAN LOVE Katy Perry and beau Orlando Bloom, 41, have extended their Christmas getaway, spending their days snorkelling and swimming in Hawaii. A blonde Perry, 34, has enjoyed “a very special year” with her boyfriend, according to a close source who spoke to WHO. “Katy is amazing with Orlando’s son [Flynn].

KATE HUDSON GAINED AROUND 32KG while pregnant with son Ryder, now 14, (and less with son Bingham, 7), and took the weight off slowly. But after giving birth to daughter Rani Rose on Oct. 2, the actress and co-founder of Fabletics activewear decided to be more proactive. This time around, she agreed to become an ambassador for WW (formerly Weight Watchers). “It came at a perfect time for me because at this point, after having three babies, it’s like sense memory,” says Hudson, 39. “You want to start getting back into shape and to get strong again and focus on your own personal health.” Hudson joined the program to reach her goal of dropping 11kg before she starts filming a new movie. “I was really sick during this pregnancy –…

As a wife and mother, Australian actress Rose Byrne can relate to the ups and downs all families go through. Playing the role of a foster parent in her newest film Instant Family alongside co-star Mark Wahlberg however, was a whole different ball game. “I was pretty naive about the foster system and the adoptive system,” the actress tells WHO. The blockbuster documents the journey of a husband and wife who decide to take on three foster children and is based on the true story of the movie’s director Sean Anders and his wife Beth, who went on to legally adopt their three children. Just like Byrne, Anders was clueless going into the process and told Entertainment Weekly : “We were really…

OUT OF THIS WORLD GUEST STARS From the very first episode, The Nanny was peppered with hundreds of celebrity faces from a young James Marsden to Elizabeth Taylor. As the series was produced by Fran Drescher’s own company, she was able to hire her relatives, friends and famous allies to guest star on the show. A number of Hollywood heavyweights even had more than one appearance during the series including Rosie O’Donnell who played herself in the episode “The Rosie Show” and then played a cab driver in the season three episode “Where’s the Pearls?”. Other A-list guests included Ray Charles, Eartha Kitt, Roseanne Barr, Bette Midler, Chevy Chase, Celine Dion, Pamela Anderson and more. Drescher even played a guest-character herself in one episode – the unflinching Bobbi Flekman, who…

We all start the year with the best beauty intentions and now that resolutions are set in place, WHO sought some insights into what’s hot and what’s not in the world of beauty in 2019… COMBINATION THERAPY This sees a fusion with beauty technology – think microdermabrasion, laser and light therapy – as add-ons to regular facials, delivering optimal results to skin. “Our new Radiance Facial with Microdermabrasion, was designed for luminous, healthy skin,” says Jocelyn Petroni, Australian beauty artisan and Chanel Australia’s official manicurist. “Unlike other microdermabrasion treatments, this facial actively infuses brightening ingredients such as vitamin A to the deepest skin layers and stimulates cellular regeneration for glowing skin.” Microdermabrasion makes the skin more receptive to active ingredients. “Vitamin infusion breaks industry protocol to stimulate cell turnover, lymphatic…

The helicopter sways slightly then leans forward, gliding us away from Townsville and out towards the shimmering ocean. Our friendly Nautilus Aviation pilot explains that we might feel the softest of bumps as we glide over two small mountain peaks. Islands appear in view, sprinkled in the ocean – an image synonymous with the great barrier reef. We’re on our way to Orpheus Island, a luxury resort 30 minutes flight from Townsville airport by helicopter. Our pilot tells us the names of islands as we pass them, Magnetic Island to the right, we fly over Rattlesnake and Havannah, and pass the inhabited Palm Island before finally arriving at our home for the weekend, Orpheus. Orpheus is a national park, wild and beautiful with a simple jetty reaching out into sea.…

One of the hottest dietary trends of 2018 continues to gain popularity thanks to its long-term health and weight-loss benefits and its ability to regulate insulin resistance. In a nutshell, intermittent fasting, or IF, can be done in three different ways: time-restricted fasting where you eat at a set time every day and fast for the other 12 to 18 hours; modified fasting where you eat 25 per cent of your recommended daily calorie intake on two days each week and eat normally otherwise; and alternate fasting where you switch between periods of consuming low-calorie foods and drinks and actually eating – all of which allow the body to use its stored energy. “Fasting is the perfect solution to give your body a break from digesting food, helping it to…

AFTER A 10-YEAR WHIRLWIND romance including two engagements, A-list sweethearts Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have officially married during an intimate ceremony at the couple’s Tennessee home on Dec. 23. After pictures emerged online taken by pal Conrad Carr of the pair cutting a two-tiered cake in their home, fans were quick to speculate that the “Malibu” singer and Hunger Games star had finally tied the knot. In a series of Instagram posts on Dec. 27, Cyrus, 26, confirmed the happy news by uploading several shots of her and her 28-year-old Aussie beau with wedding rings in full show. The “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” singer let the photos speak for themselves and captioned one of the three posts with a simple yet moving, “10 years later…” The duo met…

HER “GREEN ELIXIR” business may be booming globally, but Elle Macpherson starts the new year without the close friendship of her Perth business partner, Andrea Horwood. The tight bond between the two women – until recently frequently posing together on social media while promoting their company WelleCo – has dissolved spectacularly. Just before Christmas, Horwood filed a lawsuit in the WA Supreme Court against Macpherson and fellow WelleCo investor, Rod Jones. In her affidavit, Horwood stated Macpherson and Jones had terminated her position as WelleCo’s chief executive. She also alleged they’d backtracked on a verbal agreement to let Horwood buy more company shares. “It deeply saddens me that I am obliged to take steps against the company I have founded and have grown into a successful global digital and online…

HOLIDAY ROMANCES are in full-swing and model Heidi Klum announced her engagement to beau Tom Kaulitz, 29, on Dec. 24. The former Project Runway host took to Instagram to share the news with her fans, captioning a loved-up photo: “I SAID YES.” The pair went public with their relationship in May – three years after the 45-year-old German native split with husband of nine years, Seal, with whom she shares three of her four children.

MEGHAN TRAINOR’S 25TH BIRTHDAY WILL BE ONE to remember after the Grammy winning singer married her boyfriend of two years Daryl Sabara, 26, on the same day. The loved-up couple said their vows in front of 100 close family and friends in a low-key ceremony in the backyard of their Los Angeles home. “It’s the beginning of an awesome, whole new life,” Trainor tells WHO. “I got way more than I ever wished for.” A smitten Sabara says, “I’m the luckiest guy in the world.” On Dec. 22, Trainor walked down the aisle in a haute couture Berta gown before changing into a lace suit and sneakers for the reception, while the former Spy Kids actor looked dapper in a traditional tuxedo. Alluding to his new…

Grant Denyer was inescapable in 2018. There he was, leaping into the air like a giddy gold prospector after taking top gong at the Logie Awards. His stint as host of Family Feud came to an end, but he fronted another games show, Game Of Games. And if you turned on the radio, there was Denyer on Sydney’s 2DayFM breakfast show. This year could be his biggest yet, with Denyer adding co-host of Network Ten’s revamped version of Dancing With The Stars to his already quite full dance card. “I’ve never been busier,” he acknowledges. “But I’ve also never been happier.” Denyer is the first to admit Family Feud revitalised his career. It turned things around for him at a time when he was in danger of being relegated to…

Jimmy Bartel was 4 years old as he watched his mother crawling away from the abusive hands of his father. Now, the former footballer and father-of-two says decades on, raising awareness of domestic violence is just as important to him. “We’re still not getting the message across. I know that the attitudes and the conversations are changing but I feel like we’ve got to maintain the momentum,” the ambassador for the Alannah & Madeline Foundation – an organisation which aims to keep children safe from violence – tells WHO. “When you still turn on the news or the radio or you pick up a newspaper there are still women and children dying. That’s the thing, they’re dying at the hands of people who claim to be their loved ones, “…

He rose to fame as Hollywood’s golden boy in the 1960s, taking on the role of an outlaw in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Some critics thought him a great actor, others were less revering. Now, after almost six decades on screen, the veteran star, 82, tells WHO that his recent starring role in The Old Man & the Gun (2018) may very well be his last. You’ve been acting for so many years. Does it mean the same to you now as it did in the beginning? I’ve always felt that craft was extremely important. I felt that knowing your craft and being good at your craft was really a requisite that was important. And so I had a lot of respect for other actors who were really…

Miranda Kerr, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez are just a few of many health-conscious celebrities who reportedly swear by intermittent fasting to stay in shape. The timed eating pattern, which stabilises blood sugar levels and induces cellular repair processes, has been known to improve sleep, general health and weight loss for the long-term. “More celebrities are interested in this diet not so much for the weight loss but for the longevity aspect,” says Joy Stephenson-Laws, founder of Los Angeles’ Proactive Health Labs (pH Labs), where she sees musicians and actors.“You can count on a few things happening when you are intermittently fasting. Insulin levels significantly drop, which triggers the fat-burning phase of fasting. The human growth hormone kicks into overdrive and skyrockets to as much as five…

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 Tension in your home life or conflicts between work demands and personal needs, or unresolved emotional tangles are likely to arise, and it may necessitate an adjustment and compromise on your part.

What can fans expect from the new season? There is more action. Season 1 was an experiment in a lot of ways and now we’ve gotten the response we wanted, and the studio and network have been really pleased with what we’ve done, they’ve allowed us to stretch a bit, and given us the time and resources to do more complex scenes. You seem to have 20 things on the go at any one time. How do you juggle your day? It’s a full day. The one stipulation I have…

The 48-year-old Top Chef host presides over the 16th season (airs Fri., Jan. 4 at 1.35pm; Arena) and tells WHO about the last time … … she ate fast food When I arrived at LAX, I stopped at an In-N-Out Burger. I went to high school in Los Angeles, and they’re just the best. I scarfed down a cheeseburger in four bites. … her kid made her laugh My daughter, Krishna [age 8], is very competitive. She was auditioning for her school play. It’s the third grade, so everybody gets a part, but she goes, “Mom, I just don’t want to be onstage. I want to have a decent role.” She has grown up on-set. … she faced her fears I wrote an op-ed [about my…

THE BINDING Bridget Collins Emmett Farmer is summoned to begin an apprenticeship with a bookbinder – an offer his family appears unable to refuse. But in this strange and unfamiliar world, books are considered taboo; they’re kept locked away and unread by decent folk. As Emmett learns his trade, he discovers why – inside the pages of these beautifully bound texts are memories which, once taken, are erased from the minds of those who experienced them. Then Emmett finds a book bearing his own name and realises his own past has been rearranged. The story gathers pace and a world where awful deeds are locked away and nightmares easily forgotten is revealed. A mesmerising first adult novel from the  YA writer. (Out now)…
