IN AN OCT. 21 INSTAGRAM LIVE session with her new flame, Cody Simpson, Miley Cyrus took a swipe at her estranged husband, Liam Hemsworth. “You don’t have to be gay if you find the right man,” she said. She later clarified, however, that people do not choose their sexuality as she is a supporter of the LGBTQI community. It’s a statement Cyrus made on the back of cheeky comments she left on raunchy photos posted by Simpson on October 16. In the first two snaps, Simpson showed off his impressive abs and his fresh skull and crossbones tattoo on his right upper chest. In the last photo, Simpson snapped an intimate mirror selfie of himself and Cyrus – showing off similar new ink on her left arm of a bleeding…

AFTER A DECADE OF MARRIAGE Christina Hendricks and her actor husband, Geoffrey Arend, have announced their separation. The former couple posted an emotional joint statement to Instagram on October 19, honouring the love they shared and asking for patience while they “rediscover [themselves] in this transition”. “Twelve years ago we fell in love and became partners. We joined our two amazing families, had countless laughs, made wonderful friends and were blessed with incredible opportunities. Today we take our next step together, but on separate paths. We will always be grateful for the love we’ve shared and will always work together to raise our two beautiful dogs,” read the statement. Whispers emerged of an impending divorce in early October when Hendricks, 44, arrived at the 10th annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Los Angeles with…

ARRIVING AT THE AUSTRALIAN Commercial Radio Awards on October 19, Kate Ritchie was the picture of happiness. But the former Home and Away star was masking a secret pain, with revelations that just two days earlier police were called to investigate an incident at her Randwick, Sydney, home. This led to an officer applying for an apprehended violence order on behalf of Ritchie against her husband, Stuart Webb. Though details surrounding the incident remain private, former NRL star Webb, 39, was ordered to face Waverley Local Court in Sydney on October 24, making this his second run-in with the law this year, following a drink driving arrest in March. The pair, who are parents to 5-year-old daughter Mae, have faced reports of a strained marriage for some time, but this…

Eight months after Khloé Kardashian’s very public break-up with NBA player boyfriend Tristan Thompson the reality TV star declared peace between the two and even hinted at a reconciliation. On an October 14 episode of Jay Shetty’s podcast, On Purpose, Kardashian explained dating has not been a priority for her since she split from Thompson, 28, after news broke in February that he cheated on her with longtime family friend Jordyn Woods. “I haven’t jumped into dating; I don’t care to date right now. I’m not in a rush for it, I feel so good in my life,” said Kardashian, 35, who shares 18-month-old daughter True with Thompson, 28. “I think, especially in my family, we are good at moving on. We have very big, forgiving hearts, we just move…

Lenny Kravitz doesn’t want any credit for his daughter Zoë’s success. Speaking over a delayed line from his part-time home in Paris, when asked about the Big Little Lies star following in his famous footsteps, the 55-year-old rocker refuses any credit. After more than 30 years in the industry, Kravitz doesn’t mince his words – his answers are short, sharp and to the point. And fair enough too, it’s 11.30pm on a Monday for him. When asked about the rise to fame of the daughter he shares with ex-wife Lisa Bonet, Kravitz is adamant in his response: “I had nothing to do with it.” While the singer isn’t taking any credit for Zoë’s success in showbiz, he is clear that he has always been supportive of her career choices. “I…

Jenna Dewan can’t help but glow. Part of it is the warm California sunlight shining behind her. Another source of her radiance is her delight at expecting a baby next year, and her wonder at how quickly her life has changed in just the past year and a half. “The last couple of years showed me I am a lot stronger than I ever thought,” she says. Since announcing the end of her nearly nine-year marriage to Channing Tatum in April 2018, Dewan, 38, has found new love with actor Steve Kazee; their baby on the way will be her second (she and Tatum share daughter Everly, 6) and Kazee’s first. In addition to several film and television projects in the works, she’s also documented her path to happiness and…

WHAT: PHILIPS AIR PURIFIER SERIES 2000 COST: RPP $529 Having both suffered through a bad hay fever season last year, the idea of an air purifier really appealed to my sniffly and itchy-eyed self for not only my sake, but that of my 7-year-son. The Philips Air Purifier suited our living room size perfectly, and only took a second to set up. Opting for the allergy setting – which the manufacturer claims removes 99.97 per cent of the most common allergens including pollen, dust mites and pet dander – I was shocked to see that the quality of the air we were breathing in was considered extremely poor. It was reassuring to see that after a relatively short period of time, the air quality had improved significantly. While we don’t…

Rick Astley is releasing a greatest hits album, The Best of Me (out Fri., Oct. 25), and touring Australia again in February (alongside a-ha and Pseudo Echo). U2 are playing The Joshua Tree in full (tour starts Tue., Nov. 12). John Farnham is headlining a music festival (One Electric Day, which commences Sat., Nov. 2 in Tasmania). One look at the list of upcoming music releases and tours and you could be forgiven for thinking it was 30 years ago. That’s not a bad thing as far as I’m concerned. Although I like a lot of current music and have seen newer bands such as CHVRCHES and Client Liaison play live this year, I am a bit of a sucker for a retro release or gig. The one upside of…

Although the Brit’s sixth album begins with ‘The Truth’, a track that sounds like Ed Sheeran in ‘Shape of You’ mode, and first single ‘Cold’ is more thunderous a tune than you would normally associate with Blunt, it’s not long before Once Upon a Mind ventures into quieter territory with the gentle ‘Monsters’. Across the album, Blunt is careful not to keep the tempo too up or down for very long – for every ballad like ‘How It Feels to Be Alive’ or ‘Stop the Clock’, there’s a toe-tapper like ‘I Told You’ or ‘5 Miles’. (Out Fri., Oct. 25)…

KYLIE JENNER Simpson was rumoured to be dating the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner family back in 2011. Years after they reportedly split, photos of the teens embracing surfaced in 2014, and Simpson finally spoke out about why he ultimately had a hard time Keeping Up with Kylie.  “The whole K-O-D-Y thing didn’t really work out for me,” he joked on E! about their short-lived romance. GIGI HADID The Australian singer said being part of a high-profile relationship was what eventually prompted his split from Hadid in May 2015. “I love my ex-girlfriend, I always will,” he said after their two-year on-and-off relationship. “But the highly publicised thing made me uncomfortable.” CLAIR WUESTENBERG The NYC-based model and Simpson first went public with their romance in August 2018 and Wuestenberg seemingly…

HE HAS STARRED IN THREE REALITY DATING SHOWS, BUT former Bachelor Richie Strahan, 34, has found love away from the cameras. The Perth-based FIFO worker, who’s been off the grid since his appearance on Bachelor in Paradise in February this year, took to Instagram on October 19 to introduce his new lady, 27-year-old brunette Jenayah Thompson, to his fans. The pair are said to be growing very close after attending a destination wedding together in Bali.“I think she is secretly plotting to kill me,” he wrote with a heart on the romantic snap. Richie had kept a low profile following his 2017 split from Alex Nation, until re-emerging on BiP this year and embarking on a fling with Bachelorette Cassandra Wood. However things fell apart as quick as they started, with…

THEIR MARRIAGE HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT of rocky in recent times, but Sam and Phoebe Burgess are facing yet another hurdle as the NRL star has been issued an AVO by his father-in-law, Mitchell Hooke. According to reports, Burgess arrived at Hooke’s Bowral residence to visit his children Poppy, 2, and Billy, 10 months, at 5pm on October 19, when an argument broke out and things turned “heated”. Police confirmed“there are no reports of any injuries”, and a hearing at Moss Vale Local Court, near Bowral, in the NSW Southern Highlands, has been set for November 6. This is the latest in a string of obstacles Sam, 30, and Phoebe, 29, have had to face following last year’s sexting scandal that emerged while Phoebe was pregnant with their second child,…

Packed with some of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers, ELLE’s 26th Annual Women In Hollywood Celebration saw a parade of the world’s most famous females take the stage to accept honours and share a few words of inspiration. This year, honorees, including Zendaya, Nicole Kidman, Mindy Kaling, Natalie Portman, Lena Waithe, Melina Matsoukas, Jodie Turner-Smith, Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson, opened up about their experiences in the industry and had thought-provoking things to say about female empowerment. Portman mentioned how the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements have brought her closer to Hollywood peers and colleagues. “To my great delight, I have encountered some of the kindest, most thoughtful, most interesting people I’ve ever met,” she said to the audience of several hundred women seated inside the Four Seasons’ ballroom in Beverly Hills.…

Arriving at the Love Island villa, Phoebe Thompson was full of hope she would find someone special to walk away with, and within days it seemed her wish was coming true when she coupled up with Cassie Lansdell, making history as the reality TV show’s first same-sex couple. But it was over before it began, amid claims Cassie was using Phoebe to further her time on the show – something Phoebe, 28, tells WHO she’s “trying not to think about”. “It was sad because I feel like we both made a big statement and we couldn’t really explore it,” says Phoebe, who had never spoken to her family about her open sexuality. “I was really, really, really nervous about that,” she explains. “I was nervous about embarrassing my family. But…

Zoe Marshall is on a mission to remind women of their worth. The 35-year-old is working on a series of events called What Women Want that are “about who you are away from being a parent – your identity, your purpose, your lack of connection with your partner, with your friends, with society,” she explains. The former radio host, who is married to NRL player Benji Marshall, says she has noticed many women are putting off self-love in a bid  to ensure everyone else around them is happy. “[What Women Want] is a community for women to connect with like-minded women.” In the workshops a team of experts, including charity founder Jules Sebastian and Married at First Sight relationship expert Mel Schilling, focus on helping women become better versions of…

Who knew that maths could help you find true love? “It certainly can!” assures maths whiz Lily Serna, who first shot to TV fame solving puzzles on SBS game show Letters and Numbers. “If you want the right partner, try using the ‘optimal stopping theorem,’” Serna, 33, now a reporter on ABC science show Catalyst, urges. “Decide how long you’ve got to find your perfect match, then for the first 37 per cent of that time, see who’s out there, don’t commit! Then, pick the first person who out-performs the people you’ve met before. That person should be your best match.” Who needs Cupid, when you’ve got Lily Serna? And although she met her fiancé, Blair Hickey – with whom she’s soon to have her first child – without using…

After her marriage ended, Dewan had to find a way to heal, she writes in her book, ‘Gracefully You’. I’ve always been a very positive person. When pain jabbed me hard and deep in the past, I’d take the easy way out by planning an escape or orchestrating a distraction in order to press fast-forward and seemingly keep myself happy. The problem with this strategy is that it never really works. The pain will always linger in some way because it was never properly dealt with. This time, I decided not to run away from what was happening but rather to deal with it head-on. Facing your pain involves working through your feelings as they show up. It’s allowing yourself to cry, scream, and sob when you need it ……

ADD A SCOOP TO YOUR COFFEE OR DAILY CHAI AND TURN YOUR CAFFEINE HIT INTO A MEAL WITH PROTEIN! Long known for their muscle-building benefits, protein powders have been around for years. Most protein powders contain whey protein – a complete protein found in milk that contains nine essential amino acids. But with the growing interest in animal welfare and veganism, plant-based proteins are finding their place. We tried and tested some of the most popular plant-based proteins as well as a couple of whey options. Here’s the verdict. WHOLE EARTH & SEA Organic Chocolate 543kJ • 2G FAT • 7G CARBS • 21G PROTEIN • SERVING SIZE 32.8G This is one of my fave vegan protein powders because the flavour isn’t overpowering and you can mix it with water and drink it straight.…

With 10 books under her belt and numerous TV appearances, nutritionist Lola Berry has now taken to the airwaves with a brand new podcast, Fearlessly Failing (free on play.acast.com). Listen to her exchanging life tips and laughs with some of her celebrity pals including former Bachelorette Georgia Love and former Olympian snowboarder Steph Prem. The podcast focuses on failure and the truth behind the so-called “perfection” portrayed in social media, so there’s plenty of juicy content. Other guests from Season 1 include Disco Yoga founder, Nickie Hanley and musician Matt Sofo.…

I’ve recently come to realise we have a lot to thank New Zealand for: its picturesque landscapes, bungee jumping, pavlovas, kiwifruit and, let’s not forget, good old Russell Crowe ... Rusty aside, what we can really thank the Kiwis for, in my opinion, is the absolute perfection of their sauvignon blanc. The Marlborough region has superstar status when it comes to sauvignon blanc, and it’s this varietal that has really brought international attention to New Zealand and put its wines on the map. But despite our obvious love for a good Kiwi wine, Australian sauvignon blanc is certainly up there with some of the best. Anything from the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Margaret River or Orange, NSW, should steer you in the right direction. However if you want something with…

How is it being part of the MCU? It’s huge. You don’t get that kind of opportunity every day and it has been a whirlwind since day one. Marvel is renowned for secrecy and security. What did you know coming into Spider-Man: Far From Home? I knew I was auditioning for Spider-Man and that was literally all. Would you have said yes to any role without knowing what it was? Yeah, that’s what happened. And it was like, “Are you going to say no?” So you have to take a leap of faith, and I’m not sorry I did. As it turned out, your character, Brad Davis, was a bit of a jerk. Was that fun? It was! Villains are more fun. Getting to play someone you’re not, you get…

The 20-year-old American singer-songwriter is signed to Mark Ronson’s record label and provided vocals for ‘Pieces of Us’, a standout from his Late Night Feelings album. On this debut, the artist born Mikaela Straus demonstrates a similar ability to take throwback sounds and make them feel current, resulting in Cheap Queen’s timeless feel. She also injects heartfelt emotion into her songs, with the album’s track order charting the course of a relationship from start to finish. (Out Fri., Oct. 25)…

Its first season was an award-winning hit, and twilight years life gets even more interesting for acting coach Sandy Kominsky (Douglas) and agent Norman Newlander (Alan Arkin) in this next batch of episodes. Although the relationship between the two men remains the crux of the comedy, scenes are stolen by guest stars Kathleen Turner (as Sandy's ex-wife) and Jane Seymour (as a former – and renewed – flame of Norman's), while there is much awkwardness to be found in Sandy’s daughter, Mindy (Sarah Baker), dating a man his age. (On Netflix from Fri., Oct. 25)…

This year’s AACTA Awards will be held on Wed., Dec. 4 at The Star in Sydney (tickets for the ceremony available now at aacta.org/whats-on). Among this year’s nominees are Miranda Tapsell, Celia Pacquola and Alison Bell – three women who don’t just put in fantastic performances in front of the camera, but also play an integral part in the creation of the TV shows and films for which they have been recognised.…

What do you love about The Letdown’s Audrey? I love how flawed and vulnerable and messy she is. We wrote a script that dictated my Audrey wore no makeup and I often arrived on set with authentic bed hair. I find the prevalence of glamorous female characters decidedly unimaginative or maybe too imaginative! I loved that Audrey represents how many women actually experience parenthood – a terrifying, unglamorous, paradoxical, beautiful game of trial and error. Heaps of error! Why do you think she’s made such an impact? Because people like to know they’re not alone in life’s challenges and humiliations. And Audrey has an abundance of them. Sarah Scheller and I created Audrey’s narrative from true stories, or funnied-up versions of the brutal truth of parenthood. I think that resonated…

PREGNANT Australian Ninja Warrior co-host – and former cricketer – Andrew ‘Freddie’Flintoff, 41, and his wife Rachael Wools have confirmed they are expecting their fourth child. The married couple are already parents to Holly, 15, Corey, 14, and Rocky, 11. BABIES Doctor Who star David Tennantand wife Georgiahave welcomed their fifth child. Georgia, 34, shared their news on Instagram on October 13 with a reference to the fact Tennant, 48, and his Good Omens co-star Michael Sheen, have both recently had babies. “An angel, a demon and a couple of babies,” she wrote. “What could possibly go wrong?” ● Actress and Australia’s Got Talent judge, Lucy Durack has given birth to her second baby, a boy named Theodore Lindsay, she announced on October 15. “I’m absolutely thrilled,” Durack, 36, told…

“There are moments when you’re the belle of the ball, and there are moments when you’re not up to par.” Jennifer Aniston admitted adjusting to fame wasn’t easy. “I definitely have to deal with pumping. If you want to do that and if you can do that – then yes, we’re pumping. Pumping. So much pumping.” Keira Knightley on balancing pumping and work after welcoming her second child. “We’re like, ‘Maybe we could do a bloody Dorothy?’. Like, ‘I can just put some blood on you’, or something!” Eva Mendes hopes her daughters won’t dress as the Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy for Halloween this year.…

HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS JENNIFER Lawrence has tied the knot with fiancé Cooke Maroney. The couple were married on October 19 in Newport, Rhode Island, at Belcourt castle in front of 150 friends and family, including celebrities Adele, Kris Jenner, Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden, Cameron Diaz and husband Benji Madden, Sienna Miller, Emma Stone, Amy Schumer and Ashley Olsen. The 29-year-old bride wore Dior, while the 34-year-old New York City-based art gallery director donned a classic tux. Although the high-profile duo managed to avoid having their ceremony photographed by paparazzi, their famous guests were snapped arriving for the day. Following an opulent reception, guests kicked on at the afterparty until the early hours on Sunday, feasting on burgers and fries from a local food truck. With her fairytale wedding day…

WEARING A DARK green uniform, glasses, white baseball cap and black sneakers, Felicity Huffman cut a lonely figure as she trudged through the prison yard on October 19. The former Desperate Housewives star is serving a 14-day sentence at the low-security federal prison in Dublin, California, for her part in the US college admissions scandal. In the first pictures the public has seen of the disgraced actress since she went to prison, Huffman, 56, walked between buildings, on family visiting day, to see husband William H. Macy, 69, and daughter Sophia Grace, who had driven five hours from Los Angeles to see her. Huffman is the first person in the widespread admissions scandal – which also involves 50 other parents, including Full House star Lori Loughlin, exam proctors, coaches and…

LADY GAGA HAS BROKEN UP WITH her rumoured boyfriend of three months, Daniel Horton. While attending a hens’ night for her long-time makeup artist, Sarah Tanno, she shared a selfie with the bride-to-be and captioned it “an about to be married woman and me, a single lady”. It comes just days after the 33-year-old plummeted from the stage during a show in Las Vegas, landing heavily on her back. “I might be in a lot of pain but I couldn’t miss my best friend’s bachelorette dinner,” she said. Her relationship with audio engineer Horton, 37, came to light in July when they were spotted kissing over brunch in LA. A witness told WHO at the time that the loved-up pair were deep in conversation. “They were kissing as they spoke…

Newly evicted Vanessa Sierra is still reeling from heartbreak. “Matthew [Zukowski] was my type to a T,” she tells WHO. The 24-year-old, who was voted out by her fellow villa-mates, reveals her time on the show could have been extended if not for newcomers Josh and Luke Packham. “It came down to the Islander vote, and unfortunately, they had it in for me. The minute Josh and Luke stepped into the villa, they turned all the Islanders against me. They were saying fake things about me and obviously people started to question me on that.” She also believes the whole atmosphere in the villa shifted as the boys from North Sydney entered the show. “The villa was quite calm before the boys came in,” Vanessa says. “From the minute they…

You don’t know me, but you’ve been inside me …” With those words, a sexual-assault victim addressed her convicted assailant at his sentencing on June 2, 2016 – to no effect. Brock Turner, a Stanford University freshman facing up to 14 years in prison, was given just six months in Santa Clara County jail. It could have been almost any case in any courtroom. But the leniency in this case sparked international outrage, thanks to the woman’s victim-impact statement – a raw indictment not only of the man caught on top of her while she lay unconscious but also of a culture and a justice system that put the victim on trial. As the world read the searing words of Emily Doe, she remained anonymous even to many of her…

In the wake of a horrific attack by her ex-boyfriend in 2016, Angela Jay fell into a dark place. Not only was she suffering physically and mentally from being stabbed 11 times and doused in petrol by her former partner, Paul Lambert, she became a target of victim blame. “It was the most afraid I’ve ever been” Having met Lambert on Tinder, people criticised the then-28-year-old for using a dating app in her search for love. “Most women are raised to be fearful – that they have a big role in maintaining their own personal safety,” says Jay, a doctor based in Coffs Harbour, NSW. “But when talking about preventing violence, we need to shift the focus from the victim to the perpetrator.” Jay is now on a mission to…

A WEEKEND IN MUDGEE With its world-class food and wine scene, natural beauty and quaint heritage buildings, Mudgee provides an idyllic weekend escape from the city In need of a child-free short break and having heard a lot about the food scene in the NSW wine region of Mudgee, we drop the kids off with Grandma and hightail it out of Sydney one Friday afternoon. Just under four hours later, we arrive at Mudgee – one of the oldest wine regions in Australia and the birthplace of Australian chardonnay – and head to our first cellar door, Logan Estate, in the scenic settlement of Apple Tree Flat. We hop out of the car expecting to see rolling green fields of vines but instead are shocked to see how dry the…

Mamma Mia! (2008) The musical based on the stage show based on the music of ABBA spawned a sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, a decade later. Rock of Ages (2012) Also based on a theatrical production, this musical features the music of hard rock and metal bands like Def Leppard and Van Halen. Sunshine on Leith (2013) Directed by Dexter Fletcher (who’d go on to helm Rocketman), this adapted the stage show dedicated to the music of The Proclaimers.…

‘ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?’ In the 1990s, the original version of Nickelodeon’s horror for kids series saw a group of teens known as The Midnight Society take turns to tell scary stories. Just in time for Halloween, the channel launches a new spin on Afraid, beginning Mon., Oct. 28 at 6pm. ‘SILICON VALLEY’ S6 What began as a small start-up has now ballooned into one of Silicon Valley’s major players, and for the team behind Pied Piper, particularly CEO Richard (Thomas Middleditch), the challenges of running a tech giant are the focus of the Emmy-nominated comedy series’ sixth and final season (starts Mon., Oct. 28 at 9pm; Comedy Channel). ‘WILL & GRACE’ FINAL SEASON After its triumphant 2017 return, the landmark sitcom proved its revival had legs when…

What do you love about the roles for which you’ve been nominated? Despite being crushed, thwarted and berated, Nat continues to fight the good fight at the Nation Building Authority. I love her. And I’m glad I’m not her. Emma is close to who I am when I’m in a silly mood but without my self-consciousness. She doesn’t let the fact she’s 36 stop her from patting every animal, sliding over car bonnets or making fart jokes. Why do you think those roles have made such an impact? Nat is the person we hope exists in an office somewhere, fighting for common sense and glaring at idiocy. Emma revels in idiocy – I think a lot of us struggle with what ‘grown-up’ means. Perhaps that’s part of why Emma resonates…

There was tragedy in the US, with news Tarzan actor Ron Ely’s wife, Valerie Lundeen was stabbed to death in their Santa Barbara, California, home on October 15. Authorities said the crime was carried out by the couple’s 30-year-old son, Cameron Ely, who was shot dead by police. When officers arrived at the Hope Ranch house they found 62-year-old Valerie dead with “multiple stab wounds”. According to a statement, police found Cameron outside the home. “He posed a threat and in response four deputies fired their service weapons at the suspect, fatally wounding him,” the Santa Barbara County sheriff’s statement said. There were no reports Ron, 81, was injured in the incident. Ron played the lead role in the 1960s Tarzan TV series and starred in the film Doc Savage:…
