It’s been a BUSY week in entertainment! This week, music’s night of nights, the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, took place in Los Angeles. Alicia Keys kept the star-studded audience (and us) entertained throughout the evening, with special on-stage guests including Michelle Obama. Jennifer Lopez performed, as did Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton (see p. 6). On the same night, across town, Jennifer Aniston was celebrating her 50th birthday at what’s being deemed the biggest party of the year. I’m sure Reese Witherspoon would agree – she was seen looking a little worse for wear on her way out of the event (see the pics on p. 16). Over in London, actual royalty joined film royalty – with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge rubbing shoulders with the likes of Rami…

SHE’S THE BUBBLY RADIO HOST who spends her time off-air as a doting mum to daughter, Trixie, 5. The single mum, 41, revealed that she is extending their brood, announcing her second pregnancy in an exciting Instagram post. “We’re having a baby!!” Box penned on Feb. 10. “Yes, Trixie and I are over the moon/ jumping out of our skin/can’t stop smiling/ floating on air/dancing in the streets/walking on sunshine and every other metaphor that conveys absolute pure joy.” The Fox FM breakfast show host quickly answered a question she knew her followers would have – who is the baby’s father. “A few years ago I made an appointment to see an IVF specialist, the amazing Dr Sameer Jatkar at Monash IVF, and I began an IVF journey to extend…

She describes herself as a cyclone, and Group 2 better batten down the hatches, because Karolina is set to stir up a storm on My Kitchen Rules this season. The Perth fashionista, 46, has a commanding presence. Tall, striking, with impeccable taste, she is also not one to mince her words. “Am I going to offend people? Yes,” she tells WHO. “That’s been my whole life, my presence and my height – I might look scary but I’m not. I’ve had to work against my height and try to make women feel at home with me. Then I’m not that threatening.” As one half of the “perfect strangers”, Karolina has been paired with meek Milly, 31, a match that’s looking sure to spark fireworks. She’s open…

Mike Gunner bragged about “breaking hearts” around the world as he made his debut on Married at First Sight. And as his “marriage” to Heidi Latcham came crashing down on their honeymoon, the 44-year-old’s ex-girlfriend Gabriela Pao, 28, has issued a bleak warning to Gunner’s new bride. “She needs to be careful,” says the Central American beauty, while detailing the “emotional abuse” she suffered during their two years together. During an exclusive interview with WHO from her home in El Salvador, Pao says: “There were many red flags, but I was so lost in the atmosphere of finding The One. “He’s a charming guy and was fun and very sexual at the beginning.” However, Pao, who met Gunner in El Salvador in 2015 before moving to Australia to be with…

Daniel MacPherson is not one for staying still for too long. After shooting action series Strike Back in the heaving, sweaty jungles of Malaysia, then shifting straight to Australia to shoot new Nine Network drama Bad Mothers , MacPherson returned to Los Angeles and found he had itchy feet. “My first week back I didn’t know what to with myself, so I rode my bike 400km in seven days,” the amiable 38-year-old Aussie tells WHO. “That was just part of the winding down process.” Here, MacPherson tells us all about his big TV roles and shares his and gorgeous wife Zoe Ventoura’s happy news … You’ve been in LA since 2012, and you’ve got good mates in LA like Luke Hemsworth to keep…

February is National Ovarian Cancer Month and you’ll see people supporting the cause by wearing a teal ribbon.“Each day, four Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and three will die – that’s almost 100 women every month,” says Jane Hill, CEO of Ovarian Cancer Australia. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?

The stand-up comedian, who recently featured in Netflix’s Comedians of the World special and is a Have You Been Paying Attention? regular, turns 49 this week and has just added more shows to her upcoming Loser tour, which kicks off in Melbourne on Thurs., March 28. Here, she tells WHO about the last time … … she laughed uncontrollably I had dinner with a friend and said, “I grew up poor”. Because I have an accent and she’s Australian and not tuned into it, she asked me to repeat what I said three times, the magical number you can ask someone to repeat. After the third time, she took a sip of wine and said, “Never heard of…

When Lisa Wheeldon throws her daughter a birthday party, she’s left with the usual mess to clear up and, more unexpectedly, a little girl called Ellie who appears to have been abandoned. Then Ellie presents a letter from her mother explaining she needs looking after, and Lisa has been chosen for the job. As Lisa attempts to find the mystery – and missing – mum, she’s quickly drawn into a complex puzzle involving intimidating school mums, unsuitable boyfriends and Russian gangsters. An enjoyable and often emotional read from this debut Aussie  author. (Out Mon. Feb. 18)…

Tired of true crime podcasts? This new series, which should have just released its third episode as you read this, offers something quite different. Hosted by The Family Law creator Benjamin Law and zoologist and filmmaker Chris McCormack, Look at Me takes an in-depth, well, look at Australian animals that aren’t so familiar to most of us. That’s right, no koalas and kangaroos here. Instead, creatures like the giant cuttlefish and the plains-wanderer receive all the attention. Law’s presence ensures the discussion remains accessible to non-experts.…

There’s a complicated premise behind this adaptation of comic book The Umbrella Academy involving a number of births to women who weren’t actually pregnant and an apocalyptic future that has to be stopped, all of which is reminiscent of Heroes . At its heart, though, the 10-part series is a family drama about a group of (mostly) grown-up children who have gone their separate ways being brought back together following the death of their adoptive father, Reginald Hargreeves. The show gets bogged down as the siblings deal with their tensions and the impact being super-powered has had on them all, but it’s nothing a dance sequence to Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now” can’t alleviate. (On Netflix from Fri., Feb. 15)…

Not wanting to be left out of the dating show game, Netflix drops its contribution to matchmaking on Valentine’s Day. Each episode of Dating Around focuses on one single person – mixing it up between men and women – as they hit the town with five prospective partners. By episode’s end, they choose one for a second date. Simple. But not even Dating’s polished Made in Chelsea sheen can disguise the lacklustre casting and mind-numbingly dull conversations. (On Netflix from Thurs., Feb. 14)…

Among the galaxy of superstars that descended on Hollywood’s Sunset Tower Hotel on Feb. 9 to celebrate actress Jennifer Aniston’s 50th birthday, it was the arrival of one guest in particular that got the whole world talking. The birthday girl’s ex-husband Brad Pitt, wearing a newsboy cap over his slicked-back hair, was ushered inside by his longtime security team. Arriving about 45 minutes after Aniston, the now-single father of six “seemed to be in a good mood and happy to be there”, said a source. Once inside, the former golden couple – who finalised their divorce in 2005 after five years of marriage – “hugged and chatted for a bit”, a source told WHO. “Jen was busy making sure all of her other guests had an amazing time.” According to…

Ever since she was a girl, Stacey Allen has dreamed about choosing her wedding dress and marrying her knight in shining armour. Now that dream is coming true as she is set to tie the knot with her Prince Charming, Ash Keillah, in September this year. The first priority was to go dress shopping. “I always wanted to try wedding dresses on,” Allen, 27, tells WHO. “Even before I was with Ash, I always wanted to try them on. But I restrained myself until it was the right time, and I’m glad I did. It was so exciting!” “And she found the dress in one go,” adds Keillah, 34. While on WHO’s exclusive shoot at Gold Coast store Grace Loves Lace, the bride-to-be found her gown. “It was the first…

Melbourne data scientist Bianca Braun knows that she doesn’t make the best first impression. The 32-year-old MKR contestant reveals that she’s ready to “cop a lot” online in the first week or two of Group 2’s instant Restaurants. However, Braun advises viewers to wait a little while before labelling her a “villain”. “I’m a b----h, I’m not a villain,” she states. “I’m not bullying anyone. I don’t make fun of people’s appearance or economic status or anything like that. I’m very against that. I’m just a b----h, it’s simple. “There’s absolutely no malicious intent and I hope that people will see that. It’s just how I say things, it’s just blunt. “I’ve always got my manager hat on and my professional hat and I don’t take…

British interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is no stranger to travelling. His successful television career has taken him across the world, dishing out home styling advice. From scouring the British countryside in Hidden Houses of Wales to venturing Down Under to star as the host and judge on the second season of Instant Hotel, Llewelyn-Bowen, 53, always brings a sense of style wherever he goes. However, Llewelyn-Bowen admits that his constant globetrotting isn’t always easy, as it takes him away from his wife Jackie, their two daughters Cecile, 23, and Hermione, 21, and their grandson Albion. But, thanks to modern technology, he can regularly stay in touch with them. “We have a very social family life” —Llewelyn -Bowen “Jackie and I speak every day but, in a way, I think the…

Walking into the Madison Avenue pop-up shop for Frances Valentine, the fashion label Kate Spade launched in 2016, is like entering the late designer’s own closet. Her colourful mark is on everything: bags of all shapes and sizes, in every shade of Kate’s beloved rainbow, line the shelves. Pouches featuring illustrations of her dog Poe cover a table. Personal family photos decorate one of the walls, and there’s a red journal where customers can share their memories of the designer displayed near a couch. (“Kate, you changed my life forever,” one note says.) “She is here, this is her home, and this is where her spirit lives,” says CEO Elyce Arons, who co-founded the brand with Kate and had been her best friend since they were both at college. “It’s…

BREAKFAST CAFÉ 21 We visited the Gaslamp Quarter for breakfast. A beautiful local cafe with a family-friendly atmosphere. It’s obvious that word about the Instagram-worthy meals has gotten out – a table beside us orders the Banana Foster Cast Iron Dutch Pancake without looking at the menu and snap away before it’s devoured. We order a serving of the classic pancakes and they arrive surrounded by generous toppings of maple syrup, raspberry and kiwi puree. They use only locally grown, organic ingredients for a socially conscious farm-to-table experience – certainly an experience worth having. cafe-21.com DINNER HERB AND WOOD There’s a real food moment happening in San Diego and we had a great night at Herb and Wood in Little Italy. The menu is a mix of…

You’ve had a huge year! It’s been quite the year, and it’s still going! I’ve been working while all this is happening. Winning something and then having to get on the plane and go to work keeps the reality rooted. What do you make of all the successes happening at this point? Maybe I’m appreciating it more. It’s been an uphill trajectory. One project kind of pushed to the other, from Boyz n the Hood to Jerry Maguire . I don’t question the universe. It’s happening exactly the way it’s supposed to. You started out as a child star. Do you feel like you still had a normal upbringing? I think so! My mom actively made sure I had a pretty normal life,…

ARCTIC In this debut feature film from Brazilian musician and director Joe Penna, Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen (right) is lost in a landscape of snow. We know little about this plane-crash survivor (his name is Overgard), yet we also know everything – that he’s human, seizing any chance to survive and, more profoundly, still consulting his moral compass in the direst circumstances. Filmed in freezing Iceland, Arctic is cited by Mikkelsen as the toughest shoot of his career. RÜFÜS DU SOL TOUR They were one of the highlights at Field Day in Sydney on New Year’s Day, and this week the electronic band’s tour picks back up with sold-out shows at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne on Thurs., Feb. 14…

There’s a reason it’s been just over five years since the Canadian chart-topper’s last album, 2013’s self-titled set – Lavigne was diagnosed with Lyme disease in late 2014 and spent two years bedridden as she battled the affliction. That fight courses through her sixth album, which resonates with the triumphant energy of someone who has been to Hell and come out the other side. Vocally, the 34-year-old has never sounded better, while songs like “Birdie”, “Warrior” and the title track encapsulate her personal struggle, lending her music more of an inspirational quality than ever before. A welcome return. (Out Fri., Feb. 15)…

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on Feb. 14, 2018 might have been swept under the rug as just another American tragedy, were it not for the activism of students like British-born Mizen, one of several survivors interviewed in this documentary that follows their efforts to bring about change. What Never Again , which airs exactly one year later, demonstrates more than anything is how articulate the Parkland, Florida, students have been in making their case for gun control reform. (Airs Thurs., Feb. 14 at 8.35pm; SBS)…

“I felt embarrassed that I didn’t do my part. I went, ‘Oh, gosh. I didn’t do my job.’ ” Despite the success of A Star is Born, Bradley Cooper said he felt self-conscious when he was snubbed for a Best Director Oscar nomination. “It will be hard to say goodbye. I love my family.” Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell Pritchett in Modern Family, was very emotional when he told fans the show will be ending after Season 11. “Willow wrote me a note that said, ‘Mama, this is a big deal, and I’m glad it’s you and not Justin Beaver’.” Pink’s daughter might not be a Belieber, but she’s certainly a big believer in her mum! Willow cheered on the pop star as she received a Hollywood Walk of…

HE FAILED TO ATTEND HIS daughter’s royal wedding in May last year and now Thomas Markle, 74, has released a letter revealing how Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, really feels about her estranged father. “Daddy, it is with a heavy heart that I write this, not understanding why you have chosen to take this path, turning a blind eye to the pain you are causing,” Meghan, 37, wrote in the letter dated August 2018. “Please allow us to live our lives in peace. Please stop lying, please stop creating so much pain, please stop exploiting my relationship with my husband.” The duchess told her father that his lies and actions “have broken my heart into a million pieces”. Meanwhile, George Clooney spoke to WHO of his sympathy for Meghan: “I do…

Over the years, Aniston has had a few great loves. She tied the knot with Brad Pitt in 2000, but the two divorced five years later. The actress then gave love a second shot with Justin Theroux, marrying him in 2015, but the couple filed for divorce two years on. Regardless, there’s no bad blood with Jen and her exes. “[Pitt] wanted to support Jen and it was a momentous occasion,” a source says.…

It was everything she had hoped for. Milly Hams, 31, was engaged to the man of her dreams, James Gunn, and a New Year’s Eve wedding was on the cards. But then the moment Hams had been waiting for arrived – she was set to appear on My Kitchen Rules ! With filming taking place right up until the end of 2018, all the planning for the big day had to be done while Hams was on set. “A lot of [planning] happened over FaceTime,” she laughs as she tells WHO. “My sister was amazing and I was able to do a lot of it while I was filming the show.” Despite planning the day over FaceTime, the couple’s carnival-themed wedding went off without a hitch. “We…

History tells us that 1989 was a big year. The Nintendo Game Boy was released, Family Ties filmed its final episode and grunge band Nirvana released their first LP, Bleach . And the year also featured some of Hollywood’s most memorable sequels. Ghostbusters II Starring: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis It’s slime time! Who you gonna call? That’s right – the Ghostbusters. Only this time the boys are a bit worse for wear. It’s been five years since they last saved the world but since that heroic feat their lives have been plagued by lawsuits and even bankruptcy. When a flood of supernatural activity starts taking over New York, the gang catch a lucky break and…

What’s your beauty prep for a day at the beach? My beauty prep is pretty simple. I like to have smooth legs, so I’ll shave my legs and moisturise in the morning but my No. 1 thing to do before leaving the house – for me and my boys – is a layer of sunscreen, particularly on my face. I love Invisible Zinc Sheer Defence because it has a tint so it acts as a double up – tinted moisturiser and sun protection. What are your beach bag beauty essentials? I won’t leave the house without a bottle of water – usually a 1-litre stainless steel bottle, sunscreen for myself and waterproof zinc for the boys, a good book, Turkish towel, sunglasses and one of my Akubras. Your tips for…

“I always feel better after a class, no matter how little sleep I’ve had” Prue Clubb from Mosman, NSW, lost control of her weight after her dad was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. “I have always been at the top end of the BMI for my height, and I carry a lot of my weight on my hips, which I don’t love,” says Clubb, 41. “I’d always been involved in sports but after having kids and with dad’s illness, I fell off the bandwagon and struggled to get back into shape.” Despite being an emotional eater, “I eat for every emotion – happy, sad, angry, excited,” Clubb managed to turn her weight around by joining Orangetheory Fitness in Mosman. “Before joining Orangetheory, I didn’t quite know where to start, how…

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 Your practical outlook on the things you wish to accomplish is outstanding. Go for your life. Your thinking tends to be formal or conservative and you will prefer to think things through carefully and deeply before making decisions. Careful: you can be inclined to hold on to one-sided views and be reluctant to change your opinions. Finances improve through interesting deals. TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 Occasional periods of solitude and reflection may be needed to solve those subconscious thoughts that are nagging you. Suddenly you are feeling compassion for those who are suffering or less fortunate than you. Empathising with others will be easy for you and people will be attracted to you for your knowledge and skills. A special invitation for travel brings happiness. GEMINI…

I hate crowd participation. You know, when you’re in the audience and you can’t just sit there and enjoy it. No, they have to try to make you join in. I’ll clap along when I want to, thank you very much. And please don’t hold the mic out for the crowd to sing. I came to watch you perform, not hear the out-of-tune screeching of my fellow gig-goers. My distaste for involuntary involvement is taken to a whole new level when it comes to stand-up. I don’t want to be the person who gets picked on by the comedian onstage, my work life, relationship or city of origin turned into one-liners. All of which means I’m more likely to enjoy stand-up on TV these days than braving the audience in…

It’s the diet that’s taken the world by storm, by turning traditional nutrition rules upside down. Now chef, health coach and author of the bestselling The Keto Diet Scott Gooding is back with a no-frills, easy-to-follow recipe book that puts his philosophy of eating higher fat, lower carbohydrate and moderate protein into practice. There’s plenty for beginners who don’t have a pantry stacked with fancy ingredients, the budget for expensive cuts of meat or the time to spend hours hunched over a stove. Even better, there are yummy brekkie recipes that don’t involve egg. (Out now)…

The musical alter ego of William Phillips (one of the writers of Sam Smith’s award-winning “Stay with Me”), British electronic act Tourist’s second album is described by the artist himself as “my reflection on family, mental health, love and loss” – useful to know given Everyday is largely instrumental. As a result of its emotional inspiration, the 10-song album is subdued – no club bangers here – the tracks allowing you to drift off into a more relaxed state of mind as the synths and chilled beats wash over you. As a body of work, Everyday hangs together well, its sameness a plus rather than a fault. (Out Fri., Feb. 15)…

Why has the show been so enduring? That’s a simple one. It has remained true to the [initial] charter: practical, accessible gardening know-how and ideas. That’s not rocket science but it hasn’t wavered off this path into trends and fads that are gone before you know it. How different is the show these days? As far as content goes, facts, figures and techniques haven’t changed a lot but what you notice when you look back is just how much the technology to film and capture the details has exploded exponentially. How have attitudes to gardening changed? The big changes have been around garden size. More people are living in apartments, townhouses and dwellings on smaller allotments. The classic big backyard is no longer standard issue so we have a generation…
