A ll eyes were on Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper as they performed their highly anticipated acoustic version of award-winning tune “Shallow” from the film A Star Is Born. Before the seamless rendition, which earned a standing ovation, Gaga told reporters in the Oscars press room that her co-star told her to find her happy place. “Right before we did our last rehearsal for this performance of ‘Shallow’ he said, ‘Let’s just drop a little bit of joy.’ And I said, ‘OK.’ And, it turns out, joy did a lot for me,” she said. While there wasn’t a host in sight for the 91st Academy Awards, the night started off with a bang as Queen, with singer Adam Lambert, opened the Oscars with a powerful, abridged version of…

PRINCE HARRY AND WIFE MEGHAN began their royal tour of Morocco on February 23 – their last official tour before they welcome their first child, reportedly in April. Their three-day tour began in Casablanca, with the couple greeted by the British ambassador to Morocco, Thomas Reilly, and his wife, Alix, who hosted an official reception. Seven months’ pregnant Megan, 37, made a stylish entrance, dressed in a stunning red Valentino dress with cape, while the prince, 34, looked dapper in a light grey suit. That night, at the official reception where they met influential local women, charity workers and disabled athletes, the couple opted for more formal wear, with the duchess sporting a custom-made Dior gown and a favourite pair of Birks Snowflake Snowstorm diamond earrings (she also wore them…

She’s one-half of a relationship that has made headlines over the course of Married At First Sight, but despite being publicly cheated on by TV husband Sam with fellow bride Ines, Elizabeth is mostly disgruntled by her former lover because she believed he was not remorseful after causing her so much grief. When she spoke to WHO, Elizabeth maintained she has “no regrets”, but when asked why she believes Sam applied for the show, she sharply responded: “You should maybe ask him,” before confirming, “No, Sam never did [apologise to me].” It’s been reported that Sam has since sent her a text, possibly a public ploy to keep himself afloat after various negative media stories. Over the course of this season, Elizabeth, who exited our screens on Feb. 24, also…

Yumi Stynes found herself caught in a storm of controversy in January. The television and radio presenter had a very heated on-air debate with fellow Studio 10 panellist Kerri-Anne Kennerley, during which Stynes called Kennerley a “racist”, offending her. They were discussing the “Invasion Day” protests at the time, during which Kennerley questioned the motivations of those at the rally. “What is going on? Why can’t I understand this?” The breakfast show blow-up was big news – as was the time Stynes caused controversy over remarks she made on Network Ten chat show, The Circle, in 2012. Stynes made comments about Australian war hero and Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith, which some people deemed to be sexist and disrespectful, given his heroic efforts in Afghanistan in 2010. Commenting on a…

One in 10 women are currently suffering from the agonising pain and crippling effects of endometriosis – and that’s just an estimate. The disease is characterised by tissue similar to the lining of the uterus growing outside of it, causing searing pain and sometimes infertility. Sadly, this common condition is still under-recognised in Australia, even after the government’s national action plan was introduced in 2018. At WHO, we’re on a mission to change that. We speak with five local celebrities about their experiences, misdiagnoses and the daily struggles the debilitating condition has caused them. Emma Watkins “I leaned on Lachie” For Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins, the severity of her condition hit her all at once – as she was only diagnosed in March 2018. “I think I was only 28.…

Since he was a young boy, John Jr had dreamed of being a pilot. By 1996 he had logged more than 300 flying hours, although only 55 of those hours had been at night. On the evening of July 16, 1999, John Jr was due to attend the wedding of his cousin, Rory. Joining him in his six-seat Piper Saratoga plane were wife Carolyn and her sister Lauren. They were headed for Martha’s Vineyard in rain, wind and fog. Tragically, they never made it. The last official radar signals from the plane came in at 9.34pm. Owing to the treacherous weather, John Jr is thought to have suffered spatial disorientation. Consumed by panic in the cockpit, he piloted the aircraft into the depths of the sea, and it ripped apart…

Our post-season beauty awards go to Lady Gaga who simply shone and has been a standout on every red carpet she’s walked thus far. Celebrity makeup artist Mia Connor sheds some light on how to recreate these unique looks that Lady Gaga well and truly owned. MIA’S MASTERCLASS 24TH ANNUAL CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARDS “This look is more hair focused so the makeup has been pulled back to be more effortless, with emphasis on the lashes rather than the entire eye,” says Connor. Lady Gaga tied with Glenn Close for Best Actress category, but in the beauty and style awards she was leap years ahead of the competition. Modelling old Hollywood glam in a chic, ballet-pink Calvin Klein gown, Gaga let her hair and makeup reign supreme. HAIR Connor says these…

“[Being vegan] is not only good for our health and makes [my family] feel good, but it is also good for the planet” — Gisele Bündchen 1 VEGAN DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN HEALTHY Kettle chips and maple syrup are both vegan foods, but they’re not something you want to base your diet around. Katrina Fox, founder of Vegan Business Media, has been eating a plant-only diet for 22 years and knows first-hand the struggles involved with cutting out whole food groups. “It’s important to eat a balanced diet, regardless of whether you’re vegan or not. When I first went vegan, I was a junk-food vegetarian and became a junk-food vegan, which wasn’t particularly healthy.” 2 YOU CAN STILL WORK OUT – HARD The Vegan Cooking School’s founder, Ben Saravia, has…

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 If a close ally backs you to push a favourite plan or idea, you will cooperate to make it a success. Don’t underestimate your abilities or turn down opportunities before you give them your best shot. This is a great week for networking and things should go your way. However, avoid being bossy or laying down the law, particularly with your partner, who is trying hard. TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 Communications with others may be at an all-time high with lots of cooperation and financial gain. Much can be achieved if you put your mind to it, providing you finish what you start. Career or job matters may cause you to re-evaluate your present position – make the change. The love theme looks promising and the…

MANSIONAIR Shadowboxer They’ve already received a Grammy nod – for their Odesza collaboration, “Line of Sight” – but Sydney’s Mansionair are only just releasing their three-years-in-the-making debut album. It seems taking the time to get it right has paid off, with Shadowboxer sounding like the product of a much more established band. An even mix of indie and electronic – think the subdued beats of Flume meets the floating falsetto of The Temper Trap – the 16 tracks include previous singles “Astronaut (Something About Your Love)”, “Violet” and “Technicolour”, and new standouts like “Waiting Room”. (Out Fri., Mar. 1) BRYAN ADAMS Shine a Light Four years after his last studio album, during which he worked on the Broadway musical version of Pretty Woman…

“I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let me smash that silverback’s snotbox! He declined.” Mike Tyson once tried to pay zookeepers to fight a ‘bully’ gorilla. “My parents told me I needed to make my own money, ‘It’s time to learn how to save and spend your own money,’ stuff like that. What I’m trying to say is I did have a platform, but none of my money is inherited.” Kylie Jenner admitted her parents cut her off when she was 15. “[Dean] felt like he’d get nervous if I messed up [my performances] and all that. He’s not necessarily one of my biggest fans of my music.” Dolly Parton’s husband Carl Dean doesn’t like her songs.…

IT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THAT HOLLYWOOD ACTOR JUSSIE Smollett had received a threatening letter and was the subject of a hate-crime attack. Now, police have revealed that the Empire star staged the whole ordeal, allegedly paying $5000 for the fake attack. On February 21, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson criticised Smollett, 36, for “taking advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career.” Johnson called the attack a “publicity stunt” that became “a scar that Chicago didn’t earn and certainly didn’t deserve”. He also confirmed that police had recovered the cheque Smollett paid brothers Ola and Abel Osundairo to stage the attack. According to the pair, most of Smollett’s injuries were “self-inflicted”. Regarding Smollett’s role on Empire , 20th…

After a leak on the TV guide, a Feb. 26 episode showed Cyrell and Martha in a heated row over a rumour about Cyrell’s husband, Nic. However, WHO caught up with the Sydneysider who revealed that despite reports of “throat grabbing” between the two – and an aggressive exchange – it was more a case of heavy editing. “It’s a rumour. Nothing like that has happened,” Martha said. Martha’s husband, Michael, echoed her remarks. “And production actually came out with a statement – that they don’t tolerate any behaviour like that on set. Endemol Shine have already responded to that.” Indeed they did, but this is all looking a little suspicious.…

“I’ve got the best group of friends I’ve known since I was a kid.” Our radios have been blasting her hits since her 2012 debut with tracks such as “R.I.P” and “Lonely Together” featuring Avicii, but British pop sensation Rita Ora’s sophomore album, Phoenix, has been worth the wait. WHO caught up with the 28-year-old ahead of her Australian Tour in March, where she spilled about her love life, attaining success, her chemistry with Liam Payne and potentially joining one of Australia’s reality-TV Shows. Are you excited to come back to Australia? Yeah, I’m so excited. I wanted to start the tour there because I always have such a great time when I get out there and do it in person in Melbourne. I’m really looking…

They were the murders that terrified America. In the early hours of Aug. 9, 1969, members of Charles Manson’s “Family” entered the Los Angeles home of film director Roman Polanski and savagely murdered his pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate, 26, along with four others. The killing spree continued the following night when businessman Leno LaBianca, 44, and his wife Rosemary, 38, were fatally stabbed inside their gore-spattered Los Feliz home. By 1971, Manson was convicted in all seven murders – along with the killings of musician Gary Hinman, 34, and stuntman Donald “Shorty” Shea, 35 – and would spend the rest of his life in prison. But 50 years later – and two years after Manson’s death at age 83 – some wonder whether his reign of terror was ever…

What helps give you confidence in front of the camera? A beautiful bright and healthy white smile is honestly the best accessory. My smile has always been the thing people most often compliment me on, so I try to keep it in tip-top shape. I get my teeth professionally whitened with Philips Zoom – it’s incredibly safe, it lasts, and it makes my smile look fabulous! Have you always felt comfortable performing?

Before joining Vision Personal Training, Robyn Field, 55, had never been to a gym and would eat at least one chocolate bar a day.“I lived on convenience foods and ate a lot of takeaway,” she says. Field had been overweight for most of her adult life, and since having children her focus had been on them and not herself. “I feel like I have ruined special moments with how I looked. I regret that I didn’t start my journey sooner.” It was her adult children who prompted her weight-loss journey when they bought her a three-week trial at Vision PT in Engadine, NSW, because they were concerned about their mum’s health. “I wasn’t thrilled about it, but thought I’d undertake the trial to please them.” It wasn’t long before she…

ASHLEY GRAHAM ZAC POSEN The model opted for simple elegance in a custom number for her first Oscars red carpet. “Thank you [Zac Posen] for making my Oscar dress dreams come true,” Graham wrote. MELISSA McCARTHY BRANDON MAXWELL Nominated as Best Actress for her role in Can You Ever Forgive Me? Melissa McCarthy snubbed the traditional gown for a custom pant-suit and cape. AMY ADAMS VERSACE It’s hard to believe that the six-time Academy Award nominee has never won an Oscar, but she definitely takes the cake for best dressed in her custom silver embroidered frock.

If you thought Christian home-schooled brothers Josh and Austin were bad during Group 1’s Instant Restaurants, then be warned, because you ain’t seen nothing yet! According to the controversial contestants themselves, they are set to unleash warfare on Group 2 now that the teams have come together for the challenge part of the competition. “We weren’t there to make friends,” Josh tells WHO. “It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. This was the Olympics of cooking so you’ve got to do everything you can.” According to 25-year-old Josh, “there’s a psychological difference between Group 2 and Group 1”. Things got off to a rocky start immediately when the two groups came face to face for the first time. “See, I told you, vanilla,” Josh tells his group. “Group 2…

The 16-month-old boy had been in his cot for three nights and two days, without food or water, when he was finally discovered just metres from his deceased mother. Ilona Stevens had first heard the prolonged cries of Suzanne Armstrong’s son Gregory on the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 11, 1977. The single mum and her son, along with their housemate Susan Bartlett, had moved into the three-bedroom Collingwood cottage before Christmas. Although Stevens would later recall it was unusual for the boy to cry for long, she thought nothing more of it and left for work as usual. That evening when Stevens returned home, the new puppy belonging to the ‘two Sues’ as they were called, was found running loose along Easey Street. Helped by her flatmate Janet Powell, Stevens…

It remains one of the most heartbreaking images of the 20th century. A little boy dressed all in blue, stands in front of a coffin. Inside, lies his father, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the beloved 35th President of the United States of America. The little boy walks forward, takes another step and salutes. It is Nov. 25, 1963, his third birthday. After the death of JFK, John Jr became a symbol of what was left behind – a symbol of hope. “Practically everyone in America who viewed the funeral of President John F. Kennedy on television or saw the picture in the newspapers felt a poignant identity with the fatherless child,” wrote biographer Laurence Leamer in Sons of Camelot: the Fate of an American Dynasty. “It was an indelible image, forever…

He’s gone from homegrown small screen star to spearheading the stage version of one of the biggest movies of the ’80s. Through six hit seasons, Eddie Perfect’s turn as gardener turned musician and all-round nice guy Mick Holland on Ten’s hit Offspring earned him fans across the country. But despite calling time on his character at the height of the show’s success, his high-stakes gamble has paid off. Now, less than two years after quitting the popular drama, the actor, musician and writer has nabbed the Broadway gig of a lifetime: writing the score for the musical version of Beetlejuice. “There was no hesitation,” says the gravel-voiced 41-year-old of his decision to leave Offspring. “I just knew, despite the pain, that it was something I had to do. I love…
