The Australian Open has to be the most fashionable courtside event of the calendar. This year Anna Wintour flew Down Under as a guest of Tennis Australia to watch her long-time friend Roger Federer play in the Grand Slam tournament. The Vogue editor stepped out in a bold Prada frock, ditching her trademark sunglasses. Unfortunately, Federer lost to Greek sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas, but he was all smiles at lunch with Wintour the next day at Bistro Guillaume, where they were joined by Roger’s wife, Mirka. Aussie celebrities Anna Heinrich, Sylvia Jeffreys, George Calombaris, Matty J and mum-to-be Laura Byrne were all seen enjoying matches, alongside Prime Minister Scott Morrison and tennis royalty Lleyton Hewitt who, despite his very public bust-up with Bernard Tomic (read more on…

A PREGNANT JESSICA Simpson is gearing up for baby No. 3. On Jan. 19, the singer and fashion designer held a baby shower for her unborn daughter. And she may just have revealed the name ahead of the delivery. Simpson, 38, posed for photos with her family under a neon sign that read: “Birdie’s Nest”. Posting several shots from the baby shower on Instagram, Simpson also captioned the shots “Birdie’s Nest”. This has led many to assume Birdie is the name she and husband Eric Johnson, 39, have chosen for their baby girl. And they could be on to something. There was a “Birdie” theme to the celebration, with Simpson posting a shot from the event’s table settings of a menu. The menu read, “A little Birdie told me ……

One of Australia’s most iconic actresses, Asher Keddie, is known for staying mum when it comes to discussing her family, but The Cry star delved deep into her private life and revealed why being a mother has been her biggest role yet. Your new drama, The Cry (airs Sun., Feb. 3, 8.30pm, ABC) seems different to what you’ve done in the past. It is different to some of the work I’ve done in the past. I think before Offspring I was exploring this kind of drama, but I don’t think I’ve explored this particular territory – of a single mother who has a deep sense of betrayal and distrust. And certainly I’ve not been involved in such harrowing material because it really…

Jono Pitman never believed in love at first sight. Truth be told, he never really believed in marriage either. Which might sound strange, given three years ago the 31-year-old from Melbourne signed on as a contestant in Nine’s now-reformatted Married at First Sight. At the time, he was a carefree bachelor, looking to potentially meet someone via the reality dating show. He was paired with Claire Verrall, who entered the show despite suffering from PTSD from an assault just months prior to filming. But just weeks later, his relationship spectacularly imploded. Fast-forward three years and life is very different for the laid-back pool builder. He has found love with 30-year-old hospital administrator Bec Pattison. The cherry on top? They’ll welcome their first child together – a boy – in July…

It’s just before midnight on New Year’s Eve in Nashville, Tennessee and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are counting down the last seconds of 2018 in unison. With daughters, Sunday, 10, and Faith, 8, smiling by their side, Kidman wraps her arms around Urban’s neck and the pair ring in the new year with a kiss. That they happen to be on stage in front of 200,000 revelling music fans – gathered in Nashville’s Bicentennial Park for Urban’s rousing gig – is no matter. After 12 years of marriage, sparks still fly and they aren’t squandering a single joyful moment. “My connection and my love for him is so powerful,” says Kidman, 51, relaxed and down to earth over lunch earlier in the day. “The girls and I are so…

TEAM PLAYER “I just kept plodding along,” says the actor of his pre-M *A*S*H gigs, including the 1968 football movie Paper Lion with Lauren Hutton (right), in which he played a sports writer turned quarterback. FRESH FACE “What enabled me to keep going was blind, brazen confidence,” Alda (left, in 1952) says of his early years. “My mother always told me I could do anything.” DEBONAIR FOR DAYS The actor starred with Joanna Gleason (above) in Woody Allen’s 1989 film Crimes & Misdemeanors .

How did Rama Voyage come about? I live in Bali and I travel a lot. I was always trying to find summer pieces to wear and it was really quite difficult so I wanted to create a resortwear-only line. Do you have any carry-on essentials? The big fad is to have face masks. La Mer has just brought out these new Hydrating Facial Masks – I’ve always got them. And hand cream because my skin is constantly drying out, and electrolytes. What would be your holiday must-have piece? A wrap dress or linen dress or a skirt, something that you can dress up and down, to have on over your bathers during the day and transform it with heels at night. What’s your take on having a capsule wardrobe? I’ve…

The former Olympic swimming champ, 36, has launched her first children’s book, Lemon the Llama , just as she prepares for oldest child, Zander, 4, to start school. Where did the inspiration for Lemon the Llama come from? Originally, it came from my husband, Sam, who grew up on a farm surrounded by animals. I wanted to honour that part of my children’s heritage while also incorporating the idea that every single one of us is different. What have been your favourite books to read for your kids? I really want my kids to have the same passion for a good book I do, so we read most nights. Our favourites are Where is the Green Sheep? ,…

All hitman Duncan Vizla (Mikkelsen) wants to do is retire peacefully, but his former boss has other ideas, sending a motley squad of bloodthirsty young assassins to terminate him. Fairly derivative – John Wick and Tarantino come to mind when watching – the movie has a tiresome, outdated “more is more” approach to its highly stylised, fairly graphic violence. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, best known for his music videos for everyone from Madonna to Coldplay, Polar feels like a product of another era, more in a dated than a cool retro kind of way. Matt Lucas and Vanessa Hudgens, in the movie’s only understated performance, co-star. (On Netflix from Fri., Jan. 25)…

BRING ME THE HORIZON AMO The evolution of Bring Me the Horizon continues on their sixth album, which sees the British band embrace new sounds and genres like never before – a fact sure to alienate a certain sector of their fan base, while gaining them new converts. There’s still a heavy undercurrent beneath the majority of Amo , which ensures it all hangs together, it’s just that tracks like the poppy “In the Dark” and the symphonic “I Don’t Know What To Say” keep things diverse.  (Out Fri., Jan. 25)…

IT’S OFFICIAL A very big congratulations are in order for Australian actor Todd Lasance, 33, who is engaged to his long-term girlfriend Jordan Wilcox.

THEY FIRST SPARKED DATING rumours in November last year, when it was reported that Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron had been going on secret rendezvous for almost a year. “They meet up at luxury hotel suites around the world – London, Paris, even Beverly Hills – for dates ... It’s given them time to get to know each other away from the spotlight,” an insider told Star magazine. At the time, the pair were reportedly trying to keep their romance under wraps because Pitt, 55, allegedly feared his estranged wife, Angelina Jolie, might use it in court in a bid to win their custody battle. The source added, “He’s been trying to keep it quiet for as long as possible. It’s not easy, though – he’s smitten and wants the…

A YEAR AGO, LISA HYDE HAD FINISHED filming Bachelor In Paradise and was reeling from a broken heart after being cheated on by her boyfriend Luke McLeod, but fast-forward 12 months and the fashion designer has found love – and is expecting a baby – with her new beau, Damon Collina.

Sometimes, I feel social media…

It’s the most common mental-health condition in Australia, affecting on average one in four people, and in a brave admission, former Gogglebox star Angie Kent has detailed her battle with anxiety. “Mental health is a bloody serious subject,” Kent shared on blogspot.com. “I internally struggle terribly with anxiety and sometimes I can get into a deep depression. I tend to get out of it quite quickly, but the little sucker always seems to sneak back in.” According to ReachOut Australia, an online mental-health support service for young people, generalised anxiety disorder is excessive worry about anything and everything. The website states that it becomes an issue when that worry starts to interfere with your day-to-day life. “Generally, my anxiety is at its worst, or my depression will return when I…

After reportedly holding a “Sayonara Zara” party to get rid of all her cheap clothes, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, hasn’t stopped adding to the long list of designer labels sitting in her closet. Now, the cost of Meghan’s wardrobe has been revealed, totalling a staggering $725k in 2018 alone. That doesn’t even include the duchess’ custom Givenchy wedding dress which she wore to her May nuptials, which is reported to have set the royal family back another $180k. Royal fashion experts UFO No More undertook research to uncover the cost of her extravagant outfits, and revealed that Meghan’s wardrobe cost almost six times more than her sister-in-law Kate’s.

SARAH & SEBASTIAN Sydney-based jewellery label Sarah & Sebastian was founded by creatives Sarah Gittoes and Robert Sebastian Grynkofki in 2011. Their pieces, made from reclaimed gold, silver and ethically sourced stones, have made waves in the Australian fashion industry, bringing new light and sophistication to the accessories scene. CECILIE COPENHAGEN Known for going against the current, Danish fashion label Cecilie Copenhagen has recently landed in Australia. The young creative director, Cecilie Jorgensen sparked the idea for the company after finding herself staring into her wardrobe again with nothing quite  right to wear on a night out. “Made from two scarves, a characteristic print and a new silhouette,” the label, with stockists that include Browns in London and Parlour X in Sydney, is taking over the fashion game, one perfectly…

‘SCHINDLER’S LIST’ RE-RELEASE You wouldn’t have thought 25 years ago that the world would ever need such an urgent reminder about the atrocities committed by the Nazis in the lead-up to and during WWII, but here we are.

Following the shock discovery that Lucy’s mother-in-law, Diana, has died, what initially appeared to be suicide is quickly revealed to be something far more sinister – despite the note Diana left, the cause of death is suffocation. All the mother-in-law clichés are in place but swiftly fall away as the mystery unfolds and Diana’s relationship with Lucy and the rest of her family is revealed in this skilful dual narrative.

… time he thought about quitting Twitter Every day. But the secret is you block and mute. For all the horror that exists on Twitter, there’s also such joy – I find out about news and cool people I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. … time he laughed so hard he snorted With my family over Christmas, because Cantonese, the language we were raised with, is such an easily vulgar language that we started impersonating what it would sound like to do dirty talk in Cantonese.

PRINCE PHILIP, 97, HAD JUST pulled out of a driveway near the Sandringham home he shares with the Queen in Norfolk when he was involved in a car accident on Jan. 18. Retired lawyer Roy Warne, who helped free the Duke of Edinburgh from his Land Rover after it overturned, described the crash to BBC Radio 4’s Today: “I saw it careering, tumbling across the road and ending up on the other side,” he said. “He was obviously shaken, and then he went and asked if everyone else was alright.” Warne then said he overheard the Duke telling police he had been “dazzled by the sun.” Philip was able to stand after he was helped from the vehicle. “There was a little bit of blood and one of the royal…

Sarah Todd watched in horror as flames razed her beloved Indian beachside restaurant, Antares, to the ground. “The restaurant was my great pride,” the former MasterChef contestant, now a foodie celebrity in India, tells WHO sorrowfully, from her home in Goa. “It took four years to build up, and just a few minutes to turn to ash.” The chef, 32, adds she’s trying to “stay strong” and focus her efforts on rebuilding following the Jan. 9 fire. “I’ve been crying non-stop,” Todd says. “But I try not to do so near the staff; they’re looking to me to show leadership at this sad time.” As those who have seen her SBS series, My Restaurant in India, know, Todd, a former model and single mother of 7-year-old son Phoenix, established the…

A TEEN TARGETED Police say alleged abductor Jake Patterson told them he saw Jayme boarding the school bus one day and “knew that was the girl he was going to take.” He did not know her or her family.

Standing before the graduates of the University of Dundee in Scotland in June 2017, Alan Alda was receiving an honorary doctor of law degree for his work promoting the communication of science. The actor had been told he had three minutes to give a speech. “I thought, ‘I’ve got to say something worth listening to,’” he recalls. “I said, ‘I only have three minutes, so I’m going to give you the secret to life. The secret of life is: adapt, adjust, revise. Because the only thing you can be sure of is that everything is going to change.’” That’s advice to take to heart from the 83-year-old star, who spent 11 years in the iconic role of womanising Korean War surgeon Hawkeye Pierce on hit TV series M*A*S*H…

Seventeen months. That’s how long it’s been since the final episode of Game of Thrones’ seventh season aired. And there are still another 11 weeks to wait until Season 8 of the HBO drama kicks off on Fox Showcase. I’ve never really considered myself a GoT superfan – I’ve seen every episode, but I haven’t read the George RR Martin books on which the series is based and have to resort to googling to remind myself who characters are on occasion – but I have to say: I cannot wait. My impatience arises from two things. First, I do want to see the final season, but more on that shortly. Second, I just know that the next 11 weeks are going to…

BACKSTREET BOYS DNA If there’s one thing in music you can rely on, it’s that enduring boy band Backstreet Boys know their way around a pop song or dozen. That’s not to say the quintet’s ninth album, DNA , features no surprises among its slickly produced, closely harmonised tracklisting. Songs like “Breathe” and the Shawn Mendesco-written single, “Chances”, don’t sound like anything the one-time chart-toppers have released before, proving the boys are capable of moving forward.  (Out Fri., Jan. 25)…
