What a big week it’s been! Brad Pitt won his first ever Oscar at the 92nd Academy Awards and the show made history when South Korean dark comedy Parasite swept the awards, becoming the first ever non-English language film to take out the top title of Best Picture (read more on pg. 4-19). A couple who probably missed the Hollywood awards night are Turia Pitt and partner Michael Hoskin, who were cooing over their gorgeous new family member, Rahiti. Already proud parents to 2-year-old Hakavai, Pitt and Hoskin announced the arrival of their baby boy on Sunday. The busy mum then took to Instagram to share how things are going in their household with their new addition. “Just momentarily popping my head out of the newborn bubble (where I vacillate…

Outspoken bride Hayley, 32, isn’t backwards in coming forwards, and she’s already pulling up her husband David, 31, for seemingly giving up on their marriage too quickly – and just trying to please his conservative parents. The larger-than-life Hayley and truck driver David’s partnership went downhill on their honeymoon in Singapore after the groom “overreacted” to Hayley’s joke about his salary “not cutting it”. But Hayley tells WHO that there are other outside factors adding pressure to their relationship. “Things fall apart and come back together again, and I believe the number one reason for all of this happening was the fact that he had his parents in his ear,” she says.“His parents have this idea of who he should be matched with and he started listening to them instead…

With the recent deadly bushfires torching towns and making international headlines, US actor Rob Lowe says his heart goes out to Aussie communities struggling to rebuild their lives. “I’ve been following [the fires] and praying and posting on social media for you guys,” Lowe, 55, tells WHO. “I was just shattered to see what was going on.” The star of The West Wing has a soft spot for Australia, having spent time filming US miniseries, Salem’s Lot here in 2003. Lowe likens the impact of our own bushfires to the devastating Malibu fires of 2018. “My childhood home burned down in a wildfire, so I feel you guys, big time,” he says. Lowe plays a firefighter in his latest TV series, 9-1-1: Lone Star, which he says has given him…

A year ago, Francesca Hung was embroiled in scandal after her comments on an Instagram video shot backstage at the Miss Universe pageant were slammed as racist. The controversy left her devastated, but now she is fighting back with a new job and a message of hope for multicultural Australia. As the new face on the entertainment news program E! Australia, Hung will be bringing all the latest showbiz news to our door. “All the stars have aligned, and I feel pretty lucky to have achieved this at such a young age. I am usually in the limelight and at the forefront, so this time I am on the other side. So it’s kind of a behind-the-scenes look into the glitz and glamour.” Excited about her new gig, the 25-year-old…

Why is the bob trending again? The bob is so on point right now. It’s sleek, it’s polished and it’s a versatile look for anyone and everyone. And what’s more, if styled right it can be rocked with any outfit day or night. What shape of face does it suit? If done right, the bob is the perfect all-rounder. Bobs cut above the chin usually suit longer face shapes whereas bobs cut below the chin usually work for round face shapes. And always remember that longer bobs can be styled with tighter waves to create a shorter cut look, while shorter cut bobs are great when styled super sleek to create a longer look. Who is your current hair muse? Reese Witherspoon – she can pull off anything. She went…

“My doctor pulled out a book and started listing symptoms. And I was like, ‘Yep, yep, yep’. I got my diagnosis: postpartum depression and anxiety. I remember being so exhausted but happy to know that we could finally get on the path of getting better.” Chrissy Teigen “The degree and intensity of my [postpartum] depression shocked me. I am predisposed to depression, but what surprised me this time was the physical pain. I hadn’t realised the depths to which you can ache: limbs, back, torso, head, everything hurt – and it went on for 15 months.” Alanis Morissette…

The lure of air fryers is in the air, or at least, online, with questions about them popping up everywhere, including what actually happens when you fry something with air? I tried the Philips Airfryer XXL ($499, philips.com.au), the daddy of air fryers (it has a 4.7/5 Amazon rating) to find out. • Air-frying circulates hot, dry air on your food, rather than oil, to make it crispy. It’s kind of like an oven with a powerful fan. • I made hot chips from scratch and needed only one tablespoon of oil to coat the spuds. • Does the food taste as good as regular fried? Yes, if you get it right. My first attempt air-fried the bejeezus out of the potatoes (it’s powerful), so I adjusted the timings and my second go…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 An excellent week for dealing with authorities, groups or the public in general, however a romantic interlude may shatter your defences and leave you overwhelmed. Luck and good fortune may attract to you in unusual ways, success is indicated through investment, speculation, stocks or lotteries.

Finances may need budgeting, and overindulgence may see you gain weight or feel unwell. Diet and exercise may be on your agenda. GEMINI MAY 21–JUN. 20 Banking negotiations and financial transactions…

Who wants to watch celebrities patting each other on the back, politely clapping and being all worthy at an awards ceremony? Not me. I much prefer it when the drinks are flowing, and stars say things they probably shouldn’t and do things that make headlines. Even if they’re not under the influence, it’s so much more fun to watch an awards show that isn’t uptight and serious, where actors and musicians can let their hair down … while the cameras roll. Give me the Golden Globe Awards, which is basically one big dinner party for Hollywood’s A-list, over the stuffy Academy Awards any day. Yes, the Oscars are more prestigious and the red carpet is always the highlight of the awards season, but sitting through the lengthy ceremony sure takes…

If you need a reminder of just how far the world has come in terms of LGBTQI representation on TV, the first episode of this five-part docuseries takes a trip back to what it calls the ‘Dark Ages’, a time when sexuality and gender identity was barely acknowledged, and if it was, it was likely as the butt of a joke. As Visible charts TV’s development since then, a stream of famous faces – from Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Margaret Cho to Asia Kate Dillon and Mj Rodriguez – share their memories of watching landmark moments and their own career experiences in this considered and thought-provoking series. (On Apple TV+ from Fri., Feb. 14)…

From her home on the other side of the world, Olivia Newton-John watched aghast as this season’s deadly fires destroyed huge chunks of her homeland. “I felt sick,” the 71-year-old singer-actress tells WHO of learning of the Australian bushfires from California. “I couldn’t watch it, in fact, because I was so emotional.” News of this season’s devastating fires, which killed 33 people, razed more than 2000 homes and wiped out millions of our native fauna, was “too intense”, she says. “I felt so sad hearing about people losing their homes and the animals that couldn’t get away and had no way of knowing what was going on. It really broke my heart.” “It’s a weird feeling. You feel helpless” She wanted to do something – anything – but didn’t know…

Elizabeth Kloepfer fell in love with Ted Bundy the moment she laid eyes on him. “He took my breath away,” she says of the man she spent six years with, and trusted with raising her daughter. Their romance was blissful … right up until the moment he was arrested for kidnapping and attempted murder. Now, after 40 years of silence, she has finally opened up about her time with Bundy in new Amazon Prime doco, Ted Bundy: Falling For A Killer. Kloepfer, who now uses the pseudonym Kendall, was 24, a recent divorcee and a single mum with low self-esteem when she met Bundy in a bar in Seattle in October 1969. In contrast, Bundy, then 22, was charismatic and assured, an aspiring lawyer who could potentially give her the…

FRAGRANCE “Whenever I wear this, people follow me,” the Empire actress says of the citrusy scent. “But I spray it sparingly because it’s expensive!” FALSE LASHES “Whenever I want a natural look, I use these strips with black glue, so I can go over them with black eyeliner.” LIQUID LIPSTICKS Henson uses this formula on her lips and eyelids. “My makeup artist [Ashunta Sheriff-Kendricks] taught me that trick. You’ve got to blend it fast because it dries quickly, but it’s easy and creates such a beautiful look.” CONCEALER “If I’m running to the store, I’ll use it under my eyes if they look tired. I like this because I can mix the colours.” HAIR CARE Sundays [are] like a spa day. I start with my scalp scrub, follow that up…

Feeding the whole family healthy food can feel like mission impossible. That’s why Australia’s favourite nutrition scientist, Dr Joanna McMillan, created her new book The Feel-Good Family Food Plan to make grocery planning, shopping and cooking less of a headache. Packed with 60 weeknight dinners, this should be your go-to even if you don’t have kids, as it’s full of ideas for healthy lunch boxes and nutrient-packed breakfasts you can create with minimal fuss.

The chef and TV host, 41, is one of the contestants on Celebrity Mastermind (starts Sat., Feb. 15 at 7.30pm; SBS) and presents a documentary about Vietnamese cooking school KOTO working with homeless youth on Dateline (Tue., Feb 25 at 9pm; SBS). How nervous were you about competing on Celebrity Mastermind? Not at all in the lead-up, but as soon as I stepped into the arena I was absolutely terrified. I was surprised because I don’t get nervous speaking in front of crowds or even on TV – it’s literally my job – but for some reason this format scared the hell out of me. Your expert topic, Asian food, seems like a no-brainer. I picked it precisely so I wouldn’t have to do extra research. I really should know…

Australian documentary filmmaker Pilger has forged a career out of exposing governments and their wrongdoing. His latest film looks at the dismantling of Britain’s National Health Service through privatisation and defunding. Not just a UK concern, the threat to healthcare is something Australians should be alarmed about. The Dirty War may not hold the attention of all viewers with its old school, slow and considered approach, but its findings are important. (Airs Sun., Feb. 16 at 8.30pm; SBS)…

THIGH HIGH NEW YORK, FEB. 5 Smiling her way through the 2020 amfAR Gala, Heidi Klum was not afraid to show a little skin as she dazzled in a strapless blue satin gown.

As far as appearances go, Adelaide single mum Stacey knows that her blonde hair and designer clothes can make people assume she’s got no substance. But there’s much more to this MAFS bride than meets the eye, as her recently completed law degree – at the age of 25, no less – shows. “Men often see me as this girl, a one-night stand, nothing exclusive,” she tells WHO. “And girls just automatically judge … I like to keep to myself and some people call that stuck-up, but it’s actually me protecting myself because I’ve been so hurt before.” With no time for dating and a goal to be married by 30, the mum of two may have found her ideal husband in cheeky businessman Michael, who also has a young…

She’s the natural beauty and self-proclaimed tomboy who was crowned Miss Universe Australia in 2014. And model and speaker Tegan Martin has a big 2020 planned. Behind the scenes, she is juggling multiple projects and ventures, following her split with boyfriend Blake Worrall Thompson in early 2019. Speaking to WHO, the I’m a Celebrity … alumna says she’s finally in a good place. “I moved back to Newcastle post-break-up early last year thinking I’d go back to Sydney, then as a last-minute decision, I moved back to Melbourne on my own in September,” Martin, 27, says. “2019 was really about coming into my own and realising there actually is longevity in the career I’m in. I’m feeling challenged and inspired again.” “He’s really beautiful, and I’m very happy” Now residing…

In a poignant excerpt from his book, Normal, Nathaniel talks about how he has learned to handle stares – and worse – from strangers. “When I was younger and kids stared at me, I didn’t notice. If I noticed, I ignored it. Because I let insults roll over my shoulders, I don’t remember too many stories about specific incidents, but there’s one that I do remember. At the end of second grade, we moved from Connecticut back to Charlotte in North Carolina. It was the end of October, almost Halloween, and Dad took me and my brother Jacob to get frozen yoghurt. Mine was  drowning in peanut butter cups, my favourite. We sat down outside to enjoy our desserts when a grown-up came up to me and said, ‘Wow, where…

WHAT: AVATUDE BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING COMPUTER GLASSES WHERE: AVATUDE.COM / AMAZON.COM.AU COST: FROM $39.95 I’ve been staring at screens for at least the past two decades – it comes with the territory of being a journalist. Even on my days off I’m always answering or reading emails and scrolling through my social media accounts. And yes, I also do this at night and do not (at all) adhere to the rule of no screens before bed (I have kids; it’s my alone time). A study by contact lens manufacturer Acuvue found that the average office worker spends nearly 1700 hours a year in front of a computer screen, which means many of us are definitely getting too much blue light exposure from our devices. Blue light exposure is particularly not…

Tanqueray Gin has partnered with 10 of Australia’s leading sommeliers to create bespoke Tanqueray NºTEN cocktails that will be available at 10 of the country’s best restaurants for a limited time.

NICOLE’S TIPS FOR MEDITATING ON A PLANE: • Sit comfortably upright in your seat and shut your eyes. • Repeat the mantra Ah-Hum gently and silently in the mind. • Practise whispering in the mind as quietly as you can at a slow pace, while elongating the two syllables. Try and feel the subtle vibration as you stretch out the sound (i.e. Ahhhhhh-Hummmmm). • When thoughts arise, effortlessly return to your mantra without any internal dialogue. • After 20 minutes, softly and slowly open your eyes.…

THE SOUP After a four-year break, the satirical wrap-up of all things celebrity returns with new host Jade Catta-Preta. Previously presented by Joel McHale, The Soup was a mix of stand-up and sketch comedy, with reality stars especially fair game. Here’s hoping the new version (starts Thu., Feb. 13 at 7.30pm; E!) is just as irreverent and meme-worthy. CHANGES Beliebers, the wait is over as Justin Bieber’s fifth album finally arrives (out Fri., Feb. 14), four-and-a-bit years after Purpose was released.
