While HBO series Game of Thrones and breakthrough comedy Fleabag took home the most gongs at the 2019 Emmys, it was Michelle Williams who will undoubtedly be etched in our memories after her rousing speech. When accepting her award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role as Gwen Verdon in Fosse/Verdon, Williams, 39, used the opportunity at Sunday’s ceremony to campaign for equal pay. “Thank you so much to FX and Fox 21 Studios for supporting me completely and paying me equally because they understood that when you put value into a person, it empowers that person to get in touch with their own inherent value,”Williams said. “So the next time a woman, and especially a woman of colour, because she stands to make…

On the first day of their South African tour, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shimmied their way into the Nyanga Methodist Church in Cape Town, setting the pace for what promises to be an upbeat visit to a country Prince Harry cherishes. Met by dancers and cheering crowds on September 23, the royal couple laughed as they took up the invitation to dance, Meghan beaming as she clapped and moved to the music, before reaching for her husband’s hand as they continued. “They’ve got their African moves,” said onlooker Nosisana Nama. “They really enjoyed coming here and sharing this day with us.” “I am here with you as a mother, as a wife”— Meghan Looking relaxed and stylish in a black-and-white wrap dress by Mayamiko (a fair-trade brand from…

TAYLOR SWIFT HAS BECOME AN EARLY SCRATCHING FROM THE Melbourne Cup, with the US singer cancelling her performance at the race on November 5, blaming a scheduling conflict. “Regrettably, Taylor is no longer able to make it to this year’s Melbourne Cup,” promoter Michael Gudinski said in a statement on September 21. “Changes to her Asian promo schedule have made it logistically impossible for her to be here.” But animal rights groups, which protested against her scheduled performance, claimed victory. The Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses said Taylor’s “fans did not want to see her supporting animal abuse”. PETA Australia, meanwhile, said: “Taylor Swift dumped the Melbourne Cup, and PETA couldn’t be happier.” Many of Swift’s fans, however, were disappointed.…

JENNIFER LAWRENCE AND HER FIANCÉ, COOKE MARONEY, HAVE sparked wedding buzz after the pair were spotted at a New York City marriage bureau on September 16.“They had a female friend and a photographer with them the entire time,” a source told Us Weekly. “Jennifer had her head rested on Cooke’s shoulder and they were holding hands. The two looked very much in love.” Lawrence’s rep has not commented about the court outing, which the actress, 29, and the art dealer, 34, followed by sharing oysters and a bottle of wine at New York hotspot Cookshop. In June, Lawrence told the Naked with Catt Sadler podcast that Maroney is“the greatest human being I’ve ever met. He really is, and he gets better.”…

IN HIS MEMOIR, OVER THE TOP, QUEER EYE STAR Jonathan Van Ness reveals there is much more to him than the carefree, over-the-top self he shares on TV.“I’ve had nightmares every night for the past three months because I’m scared to be this vulnerable with people,” the grooming expert shared in an interview with The New York Times. One of the biggest revelations from his memoir, out September 24, is that he tested positive for HIV when he was 25.“That day was just as devastating as you would think it would be,” he writes in the book, according to The New York Times. On September 21, Van Ness, 32, wrote about the Times article and his memoir on Instagram.“This is the most important opportunity I’ve ever had,” he shared.“I’m relieved…

An avid devotee of the original motion picture, Anna Heinrich, 32, remembers first watching Dirty Dancing in the bedroom of her boarding school, among a legion of teenage fangirls who would go on to view it monthly. “To me it was about the holiday romance!” she tells WHO.“I’ve watched it about 20, 30, 40 times – and that’s why I absolutely love this show.”Her nostalgic excitement aside, Heinrich reveals her biggest inspiration to join the series was the charity involved. “A big thing for me doing the show is that it’s basically in the name of pancreatic cancer,” she explains.“My grandma had pancreatic cancer and she passed away in 2017 because of it. Hopefully, the more people hear about [the disease], there might be an early diagnosis or more research…

Victorian Blockheads Jesse Raeburn and Mel Manson were involved in their own scandal – being accused by Mitch and Mark of copying their design from a St Kilda development. “They had these stunning custom doors with brass trim which I fell in love with and it inspired me to create our own,” Jesse, 29, explains. “Every architect, designer, builder or developer takes inspiration from somewhere.” The real estate agent believes Mitch and Mark are the ones with a misleading moment to admit. “They said the producers were the ones that told them about it and told them to accuse us of cheating,” Mel, 30, claims. “The boys said they would never do that to us, so Jesse had words with the producer and we were shown evidence that it was…

Those who remember Alexander England as nice guy Harry Crewe in Offspring might be in for a shock. His Secret Bridesmaids’ Business character, Jakob Novak, is … well, an opportunistic stalker. In the Seven drama, England’s Novak has an affair with Melanie, but once she calls off the illicit romance, he won’t take no for an answer. As England says, Jakob is someone who “needs to win” and viewers soon begin to wonder where he will next show up. “With Jakob, we have someone who is a narcissist and who very clearly lifts his self-esteem by lowering the self-esteem of people around him,” England explains. “Because his focus is always on himself, he is willing to do whatever he needs to do to others in order to make himself feel…

Follow celebrity makeup artist Mia Connor’s expert tips on how to mimic Margot, our 2019 makeup muse.

Riesling is one of the world’s most misunderstood and under-appreciated wine varietals. Some believe rieslings are sweet, due to the sugary rieslings that populated the market many years ago, tarnishing its reputation. Riesling originated many centuries ago in Germany, where the wine quickly gained popularity with the nobility, who stored it in huge quantities. It was through this massive stockpiling they discovered that riesling actually benefits from ageing. As the wine matures, so does its colour, deepening from clear and pale to more of a golden hue. It’s tricky to pinpoint a single, classic style of riesling, besides super high acidity, because it can taste so different depending on where it is grown. But that’s also what can make it so great! There is a style of riesling for everyone,…

TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 Expect a big social week in which you’ll enjoy the company of others.

VELVET SIDE A Adam Lambert The sometime Queen frontman is choosing to release his latest album, Velvet, in two parts, with Side A consisting of six songs and Side B to surface at some undisclosed point in the future. The LP-style division into sides is appropriate given the retro feel of the tracks, as evidenced by the funk influences on ‘Loverboy’ and latest single, ‘Superpower’, and the throwback rock of ‘Ready to Run’. Lambert’s strongest work in some time, his unmistakable powerful vocal is put to good use on the moody ‘Overglow’ and emotional ballad ‘Closer to You’. (Out Fri., Sep. 27) SUCK ON LIGHT Boy & Bear Behind the impressive start to the Australian band’s career – three Top 2 albums, multiple ARIA Awards, Triple J Hottest 100 success…

Five engaged couples, all with family members opposed to their relationship and standing in the way of their happiness, will share their struggle to make it to the altar with the nation on Bride & Prejudice: The Forbidden Weddings (starts Wed., Oct. 2 at 7.30pm; Seven). Cue: fireworks and emotional meltdowns. DANNII & DENTON The joy felt by newly engaged couple Dannii, 24, and Denton, 27, who met while working at their local RSL club, was shattered when Dannii’s mother, Donna, weighed in on their wedding plans. “Denton’s a spoilt little rich kid,’’ Donna says. “He needs to pull his head in and grow up. Denton is overweight; he’s a cocky little a--hole with a cocky hairstyle.” CODIE LEA & NATHAN It has been 18 months since mining industry FIFO…

“I don’t remember most of my 30s. Sounds like a joke, but it’s true. It just feels compressed.” Renée Zellweger told CBS Sunday Morning she was so busy jumping from role to role she barely had a moment to enjoy her success. Time, she added, “just happened like that”, snapping her fingers. “I wasn’t comfortable in front of the camera … that amount of scrutiny is quite difficult to cope with day in and day out.” Elle Macpherson dishes on her early struggles as a supermodel. “It’s easier to get power than to keep it. It’s easier to get acclaim than to keep it. It’s easier to get attention than to keep it.” Taylor Swift says she related to Game of Thrones’ character Daenerys Targaryen.…

Making her way down the crowded purple carpet to the 71st Emmy Awards on September 22, This is Us star Mandy Moore was feeling honoured – and hot. “We’re here in the company of Game of Thrones and the best television that’s ever been made,” she said, while also embracing the not-so-glamorous aspects of the event. “You just have to accept it. It’s very hot and humid as usual.” Inside the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, things sizzled from the jump. With no host for only the fourth time, the evening’s proceedings were kicked off by Homer Simpson – who was swiftly hit by a falling piano – and after a few comedy bits, it was trophy time. “It looks pretty on TV, but it’s like a hot Bikram yoga…

THE BIZARRE FAMILY DRAMA surrounding Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter and his younger brother Aaron has taken another turn, with Nick beefing up security after taking out a restraining order to protect his family against his sibling. This came after Aaron shared a video on Instagram on September 21 in which he threatened to “kill everyone”. In court papers relating to the order, Nick alleges that during a FaceTime conversation in August between Aaron, 31, and their sister Angel, Aaron said: “I have thoughts of killing babies.” Nick, 39, and his wife, Lauren Kitt, are expecting their second child in weeks, having suffered a miscarriage last year. “There is definite concern for Lauren and this situation has been very stressful for her,” a source told Us Weekly. “She’s very close to…

FEARLESS TEENAGE climate activist Greta Thunberg has stared down US president Donald Trump at the United Nations in New York. The Swedish schoolgirl, 16, who was at the UN to speak at the Climate Change Summit, briefly crossed paths with Trump in the foyer on September 23. She glared at the president, who has denied climate change exists, as he walked past. A furious Thunberg later fought back tears as she spoke at the summit, reprimanding world leaders for their failure to act on climate change, repeating the phrase, “How dare you?” “This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here,” she told the assembly. “I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you have come to us young people for hope. How dare…

NEARLY TWO DECADES AFTER she created a pop-culture moment for the ages when she stepped out at the 2000 Grammy Awards in a revealing, emerald-green Versace gown, Jennifer Lopez has done it again – closing Versace’s jungle-themed Spring 2020 show at Milan Fashion Week in a reinvented version of the memorable dress. There were hints of what was to come. After the last models walked to the strains of Lopez’s hit, ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’, the lights dimmed at the Piazza Sei Febbraio on September 21 and images depicting Google searches for Lopez in the original dress lit up the walls (the mass searches in 2000 sparked the birth of Google Images). Then, Lopez, 50, strutted out in the billowing gown, as the crowd jumped up, phones at the…

When Michelle Payne became the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup in 2015, Rachel Griffiths knew she needed to turn her story into a film. The Oscar-winning actress has worked tirelessly over the past four years to direct her first ever feature film, Ride Like a Girl. For Payne, 33, it was a no-brainer allowing the star to turn her story of success and female empowerment into a film.“I think so many people didn’t know [my story],” she tells WHO.“And so many people were like,‘Oh, it was a fluke. She went and won a race.’You know, what’s the big deal? And had no idea of the journey along the way.” Griffiths, like Payne, understood her struggle to be heard as the only female voice in a sea of men.…

Elle Ferguson SAY NO TO BULLYING Despite boasting almost 700,000 Instagram followers, and rubbing shoulders with celebrities like Kim Kardashian West and her hairstylist, Jen Atkin, Australian influencer Elle Ferguson, 34, reveals she has fallen victim to online bullying. “Unfortunately, I have experienced bullying,” she tells WHO. “There have been so many highs and positive memories on social media for me, however, with the good you get the bad.” And how does she deal with it? “I learnt a long time ago to delete and block these people.” Even so, Ferguson is focused on the positives. “I’m really lucky the community I have built on social media is very loyal. We stick together, so the bullies don’t normally stay around very long.” Nikkia Joy ALWAYS BE AUTHENTIC The founder of…

Did you ever think you would be a published author? Writing a book is like getting a beach bod for summer – each year you say you’ll do it, but most of the time you just end up eating chips on the couch. This year I put my head down and finally did it, and couldn’t be prouder of the result. What was the best advice you received during the writing process? Ninety-five per cent of the problems people identify with your work are right, but 95 per cent of the solutions people give you are wrong. If people don’t like something, take their feedback on board, but solve the problem your own way so it still captures your style and essence. How close to you is the main character,…

DEATH The cause of death of The Cars singer and guitarist Ric Ocasek, who passed away on September 15, was heart disease, according to Radar Online.

With the formalities out of the way, A-listers scattered around Los Angeles with parties hosted by Netflix, HBO and Amazon Studios, in addition to the annual Governors Ball. Before the ceremony, Emilia Clarke told Entertainment Tonight the Game of Thrones cast had already reunited at a pre-Emmys bash. “I left at a reasonable hour because we had to get our beauty sleep for the red carpet,” she said.

MELBOURNE IT WORKER ANDREW Gosling is facing 15 years in prison and an excruciatingly painful caning after it was alleged he threw a wine bottle from a high-rise building in Singapore, killing a 73-year-old grandfather. The 47-year-old, who worked for Australian mining multinational Orica, was initially charged with causing death by a rash act, a crime which carries a maximum five-year sentence. But on September 21, prosecutors upgraded Gosling’s charge to voluntarily causing grievous hurt with an instrument over the August 18 incident. It is alleged Gosling hurled a $40 2016 Polissena Il Borro bottle from the seventh-floor balcony of the 35-storey Spottiswoode 18 complex towards a fifth-floor barbecue area, where the bottle hit Nasiari Sunee on the head. The grandfather of nine suffered multiple heart failures and died in…

IN AN INTERVIEW WITH CNN, BRAD PITT HAS SPOKEN OUT about confronting Harvey Weinstein after he made“a pass”at Pitt’s former girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow.“At that moment, I was just a boy from the Ozarks on the playground and that’s how we confronted things,”Pitt said.“I just wanted to make sure nothing was going to happen further because she was going to do two films [with Weinstein].” Paltrow first opened up about her experience in a 2017 New York Times report, alleging Weinstein invited the then 22-year-old to his hotel suite and tried to force a“massage”on her. Weinstein has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex and retaliation against women for refusing his advances. Pitt later confronted Weinstein at a Broadway show.“It was like the equivalent of throwing him against the wall, energetically,”recalled Paltrow.“He said,‘If…

HOURS AFTER NEWS BROKE that Miley Cyrus had called it quits with reality star and social media influencer Kaitlynn Carter, the singer looked unbothered as she took the stage wearing a black leather crop top, matching pants and long black leather gloves accented with sharp gold nails to open the iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 21. Throughout her 30-minute set, she sang some of her biggest hits, covered rock’n’roll classics and made no mention of her personal life. Cyrus’ focus on her professional life, says a source, is in part what caused her new romance to fizzle. “She and Kaitlynn spent every day together, and it just wasn’t anything that Miley wanted to continue doing,” a source tells WHO. “She wants to focus on her career.” Shortly after the announcement…

He’s one of Australia’s most popular personalities, but Hugh Sheridan maintains his choice to take part in Channel Seven’s The Real Dirty Dancing had nothing to do with keeping in the public eye. “No-one was doing the show for fame, that’s for sure,” he tells WHO. The show he’s talking about is more than just a competition – eight celebrities will fly to the actual locations used for 1987’s Dirty Dancing in Virginia, USA. There, they will be taught the film’s iconic dance moves by choreographers Todd McKenney and Kym Johnson. In addition, each star will work towards a one-off theatre performance back in Australia, where they will recreate the famous dance to ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life’. The best bit? The show will raise awareness for pancreatic…

Recently, Scott Cam has found himself in the middle of a heated scandal on The Block. During the September 8 episode, the reality show host read out feedback from the judges and left gay couple Mitch Edwards and Mark McKie fuming when he labelled their living room as a “party” space, resulting in a claim he was stereotyping the LGBTQ+ community. In an interview with WHO, Mark reveals that after the episode went to air, he caught up with Cam, who was incredibly concerned. “Scotty was worried that he offended us and assured me it was a misunderstanding,” the 57-year-old contestant says. He adds that he feels as though the backlash Cam received online was unfair. “It bothered me that Scotty was still upset,” he says. “The media might think…

Once upon a time, Los Angeles-based Georgina Haig was a local, having grown up in Red Hill, on Victoria’s picturesque Mornington Peninsula. So, when an opportunity arose for the actress to film Channel Seven drama Secret Bridesmaids’ Business (Sun., Sep. 29, 9pm, Channel Seven) in what was essentially her backyard, she jumped at the chance. “We filmed at Panton Vineyard and I knew Karen Panton and had grown up with her kids,” Haig, 34, tells WHO. “I knew all the winemakers where we filmed, actually.” Little wonder her character, Olivia Cotterill, who happens to be a winemaker and a soon-to-be bride, meant so much to Haig. “It makes me more protective of the show and of the character,” she says. Here, Haig talks brides, wedding dresses and delves into the…

On the morning of August 24, 2009, Kate McClymont’s phone rang. The caller was Michael McGurk, a Sydney businessman whose shady dealings had landed him on the front page of The Sydney Morning Herald a month earlier – in an article McClymont had co-written with her colleague Vanda Carson. His voice expressed “a mixture of agitation and anger’’, McClymont tells WHO. “He said, ‘I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. Ron Medich has a hit out on me. He’s going to have me killed.’” Ten days later, McGurk was dead, shot in front of his 9-year-old son in the driveway of his home on Sydney’s affluent North Shore. Known by his associates as “the wee hustler from Glasgow’’, McGurk had long been at war with millionaire Medich, his former…

KENDALL JENNER “It’s all about colour blocking. Instead of matching the pinks exactly to the outfit they chose a softer version to let the dress do the talking,” says May. “Soft pinks really are everyone’s friend,” says May. The most important step is to choose the right tone of pink. “If you look closely here, they have matched the shades of pinks on Kendall’s eyes, lips and cheeks to the natural shades of her skin.” MIMIC: “The key to this look is that everything is soft – nothing is too glossy, too shimmery or has any hard edges.” To imitate, May suggests a lipstick that is moisturising but not a gloss, and try adding the lipstick to your cheeks to keep the colour-matching theme. “The trick to that eye colour…
