Hollywood’s night of nights, the 91st Academy Awards, is just around the corner and it’s looking like it’ll be a night to remember. Queen and Adam Lambert have confirmed they will take the stage to perform, sending fans into an absolute frenzy. Bette Midler will also feature, singing “The Place Where Lost Things Go” from Mary Poppins Returns . And Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper will perform “Shallow” from their blockbuster movie A Star Is Born . But Bradley won’t be in costume as his A Star Is Born character, Jackson Main – he has said that he’ll be performing as himself on stage next to Gaga and is “terrified” of getting up there. Of course, WHO will be…

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER for singer Katy Perry and actor Orlando Bloom, who got engaged on Valentine’s Day. The couple, who have been together on and off for just over three years, announced their engagement via their Instagram pages, both posting a sweet photo featuring the ruby-and-diamond ring – rumoured to be worth $7 million – Bloom gave his fiancée. The 34-year-old pop star captioned her photo,“Full Bloom”, while Bloom, 42, wrote“Lifetimes” on his post. The couple reportedly celebrated their engagement the following weekend at a party hosted by Perry’s mother, Mary Hudson. Bloom’s ex-wife, Aussie model Miranda Kerr, and their 8-year-old son, Flynn, were in attendance. It will mark the second marriage for both stars – Perry was famously married to UK actor and comedian Russell Brand from 2010…

HE WAS ONCE A CHAMPION bodybuilder and Asia’s strongest man, but now mystery surrounds the death of Bradley Soper. The 35-year-old personal trainer with more than 12 years’ experience died during a bizarre – and ultimately tragic – home intrusion in the suburb of Harrington Park, in Sydney’s south-west on Feb. 17. Perplexed friends of Soper say his actions were out of character for the strongman, who they described as a “teddy bear”. The months and weeks leading up to his death may hold some clues as to what caused Soper to act the way he did. He was reportedly suffering a broken heart after splitting up with his girlfriend some time before the incident. And weeks before his death, Soper had spent time in hospital for kidney failure, according…

Construction worker Sam Ball applied for Married at First Sight in the hope he’d fall madly in love with his fellow participant Elizabeth Sobinoff, but when he thought things couldn’t work he swiftly moved onto Ines Basic. However, as we watch his affair roll out on screens, Sam’s partner, Akila Ahmunett –whom he started dating after his stint on this show – reveals the two have already been living together. “He has basically been living with me since we met,” she tells WHO. “We haven’t spent a night apart except during Christmas,” she says. Given the show wrapped up late last year, it wasn’t long after that Ball realised the only woman he wanted to keep on side was Akila. “He said ‘I love you’ first just after Christmas. He…

Her relationship with personal trainer Mark Scrivens is a work in progress. But MAFS star Ning Surasiang has opened up to WHO about the moment she found out her ex was cheating on her. “It was through social media,” Ning says, adding strangers were contacting her to tell her of the alleged infidelity. “People were messaging me, sending me pictures … and that really hurt me.” Heartbroken, she finally found the courage to confront him about it. “He denies it to this day,” the mother-of-three continues. “It didn’t just happen once; there were several occasions, but he says nothing happened. But who takes their female friends to the Hilton? It was just too much for me. I mean, I get that people have friends but why…

After years of trying to make it in Hollywood, Rami Malek is riding high on the success of his showstopping performance as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. Now the 37-year-old is the frontrunner to take home the Oscar for Best Actor on Feb. 24. “This is more extraordinary than I could ever have expected in my life,” Malek told WHO after winning the Screen Actors Guild Award for Male Lead last month. Raised in LA by Egyptian-immigrant parents, Malek, who had small parts in films such as Night at the Museum before being cast as the star of USA’s hit show Mr. Robot , worked hard for his success. As a pizza delivery man 15 years ago,…

Geraldine Hakewill was probably destined to play a Fisher – just not the one she initially thought she would. After graduating from drama school, the young actress set her sights on playing Phryne Fisher, the titular character in Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. “I had friends say, ‘You’d be a great Phryne,’” Hakewill, 31, tells WHO. “I grew up reading Agatha Christie novels – I’ve always loved crime stories and any kind of detective stories.” The role of Phryne Fisher, of course, went to Essie Davis. But Hakewill was determined to be part of the series, pushing her agent for a guest role. “You’re not Melbourne-based, so it’s a bit tricky,” the Sydney actress was informed. A few years later, Hakewill was working on Channel Seven’s drama Wanted, playing shy accountant…

You have just been announced as the new face of Bras N Things for 2019. How did this come about? I’ve been working with the brand for about five years now. They have always felt like family, but now even more so! I love aligning myself to brands that I truly believe in and develop relationships with, so I’m so excited to be the face of Bras N Things. How was it modelling alongside women like Robyn Lawley in the previous Bras N Things campaigns? I love that all the women Bras N Things book to shoot are different shapes and sizes and all have strong core values. I found Robyn so inspiring and admirable, and really enjoyed being by her side in the Gifts That Sparkle campaign. Now that…

SLEEP CYCLE If you’re having trouble  sleeping, this app will help track your shut-eye and will wake you up when you’re in a light sleep cycle. Great for working out the best time to go to sleep and when to rise.

Choose from a storm, rain on a window, light rain and more. SLEEP TIME CYCLE ALARM TIMER Includes sounds to help you get to sleep and provides sleep-cycle analysis that shows you how long it took you to nod off and how many cycles of REM and light sleep you had.

LEAH DOYLE • WAS 72.9kg • NOW 65.2kg • AGE 32 Before signing up with Ultimate Performance in Sydney’s CBD, Leah Doyle, 32, would often let social events get in the way of going to the gym. Doyle’s weight started creeping up in 2012 when her mum became ill. “It was a life-changing moment for me. I didn’t know how to deal with the trauma, so my health deteriorated and I put on a lot of weight.” But in just four months, Doyle has been able to turn it all around with the help of her trainer, Nick. During the first eight weeks she dropped weight quickly before she hit a plateau. “When my trainer Nick saw how I was feeling, he spent about an hour chatting me through this…

Musicians are just like the rest of us – away from the spotlight they have lives in which they enjoy successes and failures, endure struggles and make mistakes. But I don’t generally care about any of that. I’m just not that interested in what performers do outside the studio or away from the stage. In other words, I distinguish between their musical output and them as people. Unless their stuff-ups involve releasing a dud track, I’m not particularly fazed. It’s why I never cared too much that Milli Vanilli were busted for lip syncing in the early 1990s – I was invested in the songs, not the dancers fronting the project. And it’s why pretty much everything Britney Spears did between 2004-08 other than put music out didn’t prevent me…

Barrister Alison seems to have it all: a great job, a daughter who adores her and a husband who keeps their home running smoothly. Yet something’s not right – her behaviour is chaotic, and she’s drinking too much and having an ill-advised affair. Amid all this, the deeply flawed lawyer is given her first murder case to defend, involving a woman stabbing and killing her husband. As Alison learns more, there are parallels to her own life. An edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller. (Out Tues., Feb. 26)…

Michael Keaton movie The Founder already covered the history of the fast-food chain, from its humble start as a thriving hamburger joint in southern California to the money-spinning decision to turn it into a globe-conquering franchise. This documentary revisits that story and brings it right up to date, looking at the way McDonald’s was impacted by Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me and, in response, adapted its menu to include a focus on healthier food. Such controversies warrant a much deeper dive than this fairly lightweight special manages. (Airs Thurs., Feb. 21 at 8.35pm; SBS)…

After a perfectly crafted first season – binge it on SBS On Demand if you haven’t watched it – this high concept series returns to mess with our heads again. With the door between the two worlds still shut, the Prime version of Howard Silk (Simmons, left) is stuck in the Alpha world, where the hunt is on for the interlopers that remain at large. A new ex-FBI operative joins Quayle (Harry Lloyd) to lead the mission – and she’s asking a lot of tricky questions. A recovered Alpha version of Emily Silk (Olivia Williams) is also picking up that things aren’t quite right with her husband, who actually remains trapped on the other side. As this second season gets under way with more deals and double crosses, there’s also…

THE ACTOR IS CURRENTLY in Belgrade, Serbia, to film his newest movie Minamata and appears to be using this time away from home to enjoy a new romance out of the spotlight. On Jan. 28, Johnny Depp was snapped locking lips with a possible new girlfriend. Just weeks earlier, the young woman accompanied Depp on his private plane in Nice, France, before touching down in the Serbian capital. He and the mystery woman are reported to be staying at the Metropol Palace in a private penthouse. Experiencing the full VIP treatment, Depp and his companion are said to have hired a fleet of security guards and imposed a strict rule that hotel staff are banned from making any contact. That includes the couple’s personal chef and housekeeper. For the Pirates…

When Heidi Latcham applied to be a participant on Married At First Sight , she thought she was signing up to find love. What she wasn’t expecting was all the fighting, back-stabbing and infidelities. In fact, Heidi says she and her TV husband Mike Gunner tried their best to stay away from all the drama. “I thought going into this there would be a bit of drama, but I didn’t know much and how much you get embroiled in it,” Heidi says of her time on the show. “Eventually, I told myself, let them play their own games. If they want to go nutso, they can. I didn’t want to get involved in that so much. I am here for my husband and to form a relationship…

Perfect strangers Milly and Karolina were always going to be a point of contention on the 10th anniversary season of My Kitchen Rules. Having met for the first time at Lisa and John’s Instant Restaurant on Group 2’s first night in the competition, it’s fair to say the duo were on the back foot from the get-go. However, as Karolina exclusively reveals to WHO, she and her teammate were even more disadvantaged on the show than it appears on screen. “I never cooked with the girl [Milly],” Karolina claims. “I think we only cooked once before we had our Instant Restaurant. That was just to do the menu before, the day before.” While other teams were able to spend some of their down time practising cooking together in order to…

There’s no faking the obvious love between Ali Oetjen and Taite Radley – when you meet them in person, they’re unmistakably a young couple very much in love. There’s the sweet asides to one another, the sideways glances, the sneaky kisses … it could all get a bit much. So why are so many of us convinced their relationship, which famously began on last year’s The Bachelorette, is nothing more than a showmance? “We haven’t been separated since the show”— Taite Radley “I actually don’t know how people would think that,” says 28-year-old banker and personal trainer, Radley, who is speaking to WHO from his inner-Melbourne home – a home that’s just expanded to accommodate Oetjen, who moved in a little over a month ago from her base in Adelaide.…

“They were at vulnerable stages in their lives, and they got into a car with this guy without knowing how dangerous he was,” says Jim McKay, the former Assistant State’s Attorney in Cook County, who prosecuted Urdiales for murders he committed in Illinois. “He was a very evil and vicious killer who hated women. Thank God police stopped him, a jury stopped him. He showed no remorse.”…

With a eye for detail and the edge for knowing exactly what’s coming next, the brand is always sought-after, with new pieces gaining cult status in a matter of a few influencers’ posts.

AMERICAN BAR THE SAVOY, LONDON The longest surviving cocktail bar in London has been open for drinks for more than 120 years, and is an absolute must when in the British capital. Epitomising old-world glamour with its grand decor and white-jacketed bartenders, this world-class establishment at the five-star Savoy is steeped in history, once led by the“godfather of the martini” Harry Craddock, author of the bartender’s bible, The Savoy Cocktail Book . Last year, the American Bar took out three awards at the Tales of the Cocktail awards in New Orleans, including the prestigious World’s Best Bar, Best International Hotel Bar and Best International Bar. Don’t leave town without a drink at this grand dame. CAROUSEL BAR & LOUNGE HOTEL MONTELEONE, NEW ORLEANS Located in New Orleans’…

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 Your impatience may surface when certain superiors or family members try to block your ideas or place you on hold. Small obstacles seem to be placed in your way now, but try to practise patience and be willing to let go of non-essentials. A fabulous invitation or travel venture may come your way and you can expect a major change in your social life. TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 The true responsibilities of a relationship will assume greater importance to you now and you may be motivated by greater commitment and reliability. Working with a partner on real problems is a slow but worthwhile process. Don’t say yes when you mean no. Important issues may surface with those in authority. Career opportunities and changes are favoured. GEMINI…

After a huge 2018 – spending four months in the top 10 with Bebe Rexha on “Meant to Be” – Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley return with new album Can’t Say I Ain’t Country (out now). “People Are Different” on the new album is a celebration of getting along despite our differences, which feels timely. The song even reclaims the word snowflake as a positive symbol of individuality. Did that particular lyric help spark your interest in recording it? BRIAN KELLEY No doubt. When I first heard that lyric, I go, “Man, that second verse is as good or better than the first.” And that kind of cemented, probably in both our minds, “Yeah, we’re definitely gonna cut this.” A common criticism of FGL is that you don’t…

Neighbours Michael (Duplass) and Andy (Romano) don’t have a lot going on in their lives besides their friendship until they are forced to grapple with Michael’s terminal cancer diagnosis and his decision to die on his own terms – something Andy is opposed to. As the men explore their feelings about the situation – something it’s great to see two middle-aged male characters do onscreen in such a sensitive and realistic manner – they also undertake a road trip to buy the drugs Michael has been prescribed. Co-written and produced by Duplass, this low-key movie is a thoughtful look at mortality and mateship. (On Netflix from Fri., Feb. 22)…

Presented by investigative journalist Shand, the season return of this true crime series re-examines the disappearance of Lucille Butterworth, last seen at a bus stop in August 1969. The fate of the Tasmanian model was also the subject of 2018 podcast UnderState , hosted by Shand, who interviews Butterworth’s family members and retired police officers involved in the investigation. Unlike many unsolved crimes, what is most shocking about this one is the fact that authorities received – and chose to dismiss – a confession. Fascinating and frustrating. (Starts Thurs., Feb. 21 at 8.30pm; Nine)…

How would you sum up your character, Veronica? When you meet her, when you meet all of these women, what they are motivated by is grief and deception – the deception from their husbands. It’s a sort of waking up to the fact that most of their lives have been a lie. Then, I see her as a woman who is taking charge of this heist as a metaphor for taking her life back. What sold you on making this film? You have to understand that [a role like this] is a novelty to me. Even how the film opens, with me in bed with Liam Neeson, with my natural hair, my dark skin. I mean, I’ve been acting for 30 years – I’ve never gotten an offer like that.…

The influential Canadian pop-rock singer is back with a soulful new record, Head Above Water (out now), and a fresh outlook on life. She chats with WHO about music, her battle with Lyme disease and the crazy conspiracy theory about her that went viral. Your record took longer than expected to come out. What’s the story behind the delay? The funny part is, I was ready to record. It took a long time to find producers who were the right fit. I had written all the songs, and most producers don’t want to take on songs that have already been [completely] written, so it was like,“Who can we get on board?” I had different people produce [the song]“Head Above Water” until it was right. Because I’m…

ALBERT FINNEY 1936 – 2019 Acting legend Albert Finney died on Feb. 7 from a chest infection. He was 82. His family said the actor“passed away peacefully after a short illness with those closest to him by his side”. Finney made a name for himself in Hollywood with the 1960 film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, and later starred in Tom Jones (1963) , Erin Brockovich (2000) and Skyfall (2012). He was nominated and won many awards, including a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for his role in The Gathering Storm in 2002, and was a five-time Oscar nominee.“It was my terrific joy and privilege to work with Albert,”…

The Duchess of Cambridge is taking a leaf out of her mother’s book and getting her children ready for public life early. “One of the most important qualities of a good parent is discipline,” Carole Middleton told The Telegraph (UK) in December. “You can’t suddenly start teaching them about politeness at 13. You have to do it from the start.” And, according to palace sources, that starts with treating them like regular children. “They might look like perfect tots in photos, but at home they play in the mud, fall off ponies, and have screaming tantrums!” The insider told RadarOnline that the Cambridge kids “have absolutely no idea that they’re royals”. This month, Kate and William also took some time off from…

Lee Radziwill – princess, fashion icon and sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis – has passed away, aged 85. The socialite, born Caroline Lee Bouvier in 1933, four years after her sister, had two children with her second husband, Polish aristocrat Prince Stanislaw Albrecht Radziwill, and was also mother-in-law to The Real Housewives of New York star, Carole Radziwill. She died at her home of natural causes in New York on Feb. 15. During her life, Radziwill, who was later married to Hollywood director Herbert Ross, carved a place for herself in New York high society, regularly mixing with leading artistic figures of the time such as famed ballet star Rudolf Nureyev, author Truman Capote, conductor Leonard Bernstein and artist Andy Warhol, all of whom she counted among her closest friends.…

Michael Mosley’s new book The Fast 800 proves that eating just 800 calories for at least two days a week can reduce body fat, balance hormones and even eliminate diseases like type 2 diabetes. “We’ve repeatedly been told that rapid weight loss is ineffective … that if you lose weight fast you will put it on even faster,”says Mosley. But a four-year study conducted by Roy Taylor, professor of medicine and metabolism at Newcastle University in the UK, found that rapidly losing 10 per cent of your body weight drains fat from your liver and pancreas, and can reverse type 2 diabetes. Mike Lean, Head of Nutrition at Glasgow University told Mosley, “Losing weight slowly is torture … people who lose weight quickly are more likely…

2019 BRIT AWARDS This year’s BRIT Awards ceremony (airs Thurs., Feb. 21 at 8.30pm; UKTV) will be opened by Hugh Jackman (right) and the cast of The Greatest Showman and closed by Pink, who’ll become only the second international act to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Music award. In terms of British music, female singers Dua Lipa, Anne-Marie and Jess Glynne lead the pack with four nominations apiece. FROZEN 2 The most anticipated sequel of the year, at least with the under-12s (and, let’s be honest, some fans who are slightly older), recently released its first teaser trailer. Featuring more action – Elsa’s ice surfing, Kristoff and Sven’s charge through the forest – new characters and plenty of moody autumn atmosphere, it has us pumped to…

… she first remembers hearing as a child I have early memories of a Grammys CD my dad had – the winners from 1997 or something? I remember sitting right next to the CD player and listening to Céline Dion’s “Because You Loved Me” and writing the lyrics down in my diary. … she had on repeat in her bedroom as a teenager “In the End” by Linkin Park. I thought that was very cool and hardcore, and my mum hated it so that was a bonus. … that is her go-to at karaoke I’m a real buzzkill at karaoke. I like doing long, sad ballads like Skeeter Davis’“The End of the World”. … that sounds as good today as the first time she heard it Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne” –…

“We have so many kids that we have now to enjoy, but I look at [Spelling], and she has this gleam in her eyes, like, ‘I can do more.’” Dean McDermott revealed that he and wife Tori Spelling aren’t opposed to having a sixth child. “I’m sure there will be some other version of it. I know I’m not the last Harry Potter I’m gonna see in my lifetime... It feels like there is a sacredness around [the films] at the moment, but that’ll go.” Daniel Radcliffe is certain that there will be a Harry Potter reboot in the future. “@johnlegend it’s important to cheat with people who look like your husband.” Chrissy Teigen jokes about cheating on her husband, John Legend, after spending Valentine’s Day with their mini-me son…
