In a week that was all about celebrating women, Katy Perry certainly flew the flag as she performed at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final in Melbourne. Surrounded by dancers in hot pink cricket bat costumes before inviting the Australian team on stage to mark International Women’s Day, the singer – who had announced her first pregnancy the day before – told the crowd “I hope it’s a girl” as she gestured to her bump. Two days later, however, the ‘Firework’ singer revealed her heartbreak at losing the strongest woman in her life, her paternal grandmother. “My mind wonders if the soul that is waiting to come into my world is getting a kiss on the forehead from my sweet Grandma that departed this earth yesterday,” she wrote in…

Katy Perry has been on an emotional roller-coaster this week. Just days after sharing the exciting news that she and fiancé Orlando Bloom are expecting, the singer’s beloved nan, Ann Pearl Hudson, passed away, aged 99. In a clip she shared online, Perry, 35, can be seen telling her grandma: “I know you’re not feeling well, but I wanted to share some exciting news with you … I’m going to have a baby. I’m pregnant, Grandma.” The star revealed her long-awaited baby news to the world on March 5 via the video for her new song ‘Never Worn White’, showing off her bump underneath a sheer gown. Shortly after the clip premiered, Perry confirmed the news to her 90 million Instagram followers, admitting: “It’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever…

She found herself embroiled in a cheating scandal, but Aleks Markovic tells WHO she will never be able to forgive her MAFS co-star Michael Goonan for stirring up drama where there was none – and ruining her time on the show with husband Ivan Sarakula. “He made up a rumour that I cheated, which is a lie – that was me coming home from a dinner with a girlfriend and it was the one night that I wasn’t with Ivan,” the 26-year-old real estate agent shares with WHO. “Me and Ivan, and Michael and Stacey, were probably the two couples who spent every single day together – me and Ivan never slept apart – so the fact that I was called a cheater for going out one night was ridiculous.”…

Sitting in her squalid cell in solitary confinement late last year in one of the world’s most notorious prisons, Australian academic Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert put pen to paper in a desperate plea from the heart. “I think I am in the midst of a serious psychological problem,” she wrote in a letter from Iran’s Evin Prison to a legal official. “I can no longer stand the pressures of living in this extremely restrictive detention ward.” In another letter from late 2019, Moore-Gilbert wrote, “I am entirely alone in Iran. I have no friends or family here in addition to all the pain I have endured.” And in August, 2019, she put pen to paper to make a simple request to a prison officer: “I ask you again to please help…

As cases of COVID-19 rapidly grew, the city of Seoul filed a criminal complaint demanding an investigation into Shincheonji, claiming Man-hee violated the Infectious Disease and Control Act. Health authorities eventually infiltrated the church in an attempt to isolate any members with symptoms of the new virus, which is nearing pandemic status. But many followers went into hiding or denied belonging to the church, due to their affiliation with Shincheonji often being met with hostility. Currently, more than 1250 members have presented with symptoms; but authorities say that it may only be the tip of the iceberg, with Shincheonji’s records suggesting a membership of more than 300,000. One of the fringe church’s members has even been identified as a super spreader with authorities dubbing her‘Patient 31’ and linking her to…

Miley Cyrus wrapped up 2019 still reeling from the end of her decade-long on-off relationship with Liam Hemsworth and recovering from vocal cord surgery. On December 23 – what would have been her first wedding anniversary with Hemsworth – she was all about self-care. “I think it is super important for everyone to truly enjoy themselves,” she posted to Instagram, advising her 105 million Instagram followers to: “Take time off, relax … KEEP MOVING!” Forward-motion has been a mantra for the 27-year-old, who has embraced the new decade head on. She’s found love with Australian singer Cody Simpson, is back in the studio working on her seventh studio album, She is Miley Cyrus, and has thrown herself into causes close to her heart. It was one of these – her…

A falsified document listing Olivia Jade’s apparent athletic achievements has been released by prosecutors, leading to speculation that she might also be charged with fraud. The details in the document suggest she was an accomplished rower, even though she had never participated in a crew program. Leading US reputation management expert Eric Schiffer told Deseret News that it could be very significant. “To me, that was a clear and present danger signal coming from the prosecution that she may get charged,” he said. But a source close to Loughlin tells WHO the couple are adamant they had nothing to do with the résumé. “This application was not filled out by anyone in the Giannulli family,” she says.…

It started with a horrific video posted online of a man in a hooded top suffocating two kittens by vacuum sealing them into a plastic bag. The crime so disturbed a group of cat lovers that they formed a network of amateur internet detectives to try and track him down, but the story ended with a brutal murder that truly shocked the world and was the basis of the Netflix documentary Don’t F**k with Cats. Director Mark Lewis, together with one of the sleuths, Deanna Thompson, recently revealed even more shocking details of the crimes of Canadian killer Luka Rocco Magnotta, currently serving a prison sentence of at least 25 years. For those who aren’t familiar with the case, it began in 2010 when the video appeared and the group…

“IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO RECOGNISE THE HIGHS AND LOWS … EVERYONE HAS VULNERABILITIES AND SIDES TO THEMSELVES THEY DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT.” What trends are ahead for autumn/winter fashion? Personally, I’m very much about the neutrals trend. I’d wear neutrals every day and they’re even throughout my home. I think there is a big ’90s retro trend coming through, which you can see at Tommy Hilfiger and Levi’s. The biggest trend coming out of New York Fashion Week would have to be layering – for example, a tee, a jumper, a blazer and a coat. It’s all about layering different textures while also being comfortable. You feature in Myer’s ‘Layers of Me’ campaign. How important is self-care to you? I think it’s really important to recognise the highs…

Many of us grew up listening to our parents’ travel stories and dreaming of the day we could admire Paris from the Eiffel Tower or the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur and cruise through the canals of Venice ourselves. With travel more accessible than ever due to low-cost flights and higher incomes, there are now a billion tourists travelling internationally every year. As a result, we’re sharing these bucket list moments with hundreds or even thousands of others at any one time and some of world’s most iconic destinations are struggling to cope with their own popularity. Over-tourism has become such an issue, places like Rome, Venice, Paris and Amsterdam have introduced strict measures in a bid to curb visitor numbers and reduce the strain on infrastructure and the threat to the…

“I’ve been asking, ‘What do I do? How do I address him?’ And then I realised I’m gonna call him ‘The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.’” Jon Bon Jovi joked about his new nickname for Prince Harry. “I’d smoke 40 cigarettes all day long … I quit cold turkey. But it was so hard. If you don’t smoke, don’t smoke! Because quitting is worse … And I will never smoke again because I think I saw Jesus for an entire week. It was so awful.” Lady Gaga has given up cigarettes. “We all had our favourite Spice Girl … She was obviously my favourite. It might be a bit awkward if she wasn’t.” David Beckham on wife Victoria Beckham.…

The cheating dramas and backstabbing have reached new heights in this season of Married at First Sight, and controversial groom Michael Goonan has contributed his share of trouble by kissing another bride, going overboard with the partying and coming between other couples. But even after all their ups and downs, his TV bride Stacey Hampton – now his ex-wife – says she’s trying to move on with dignity from their brief but intense relationship. “I don’t regret it because true colours are always seen in the end and because of the experiment being fast-paced, we get to see them earlier,” the 26-year-old tells WHO exclusively. “I’m fine with Michael. I just hope he can start being a better dad. “He never sees his son,” she alleges – a claim Michael…

With her impressive acting CV, Reese Witherspoon shouldn’t have had any issues getting a passion project off the ground. But she wasn’t always the producing powerhouse she is today, and had to prove herself to an industry run by men before she could even have a seat at the table. Once she had that seat, Witherspoon’s priority was making stories by women, about women, for women. The turning point was the success of Big Little Lies, which she starred in and co-produced alongside Nicole Kidman. After reading the bestselling novel by Australian author Liane Moriarty, Witherspoon saw it as a chance to “make women the heroes” of their own stories. “It opened a lot of doors for me,” Witherspoon told The New York Times of the drama. “People wanted to…

While the way they met certainly wasn’t conventional, Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton have proved that love can definitely be blind. After dating through a wall for six days on Netflix reality show Love is Blind, scientist Cameron, 28, proposed to content creator Lauren, 32, sight unseen. After a romantic vacation in Mexico, they moved in together and got back into their daily routines. That came with its share of obstacles, including introducing each other to their parents and friends. But the pair made it all look easy, and in four weeks, they were married. Now, nearly a year and a half later, they’re still happily married – and beyond thrilled to finally be able to open up to WHO about the ups and downs of their unique experience, their…

Trinny Woodall knows exactly who she is. With more than 20 years’ experience as a TV fashion expert, the mum of one certainly doesn’t mince her words. “What you see is what you get,” she tells WHO. “I am what I am. I’m 56. I don’t pretend to be something I’m not.” Practical, sharp and to the point, it’s all business with Woodall, who rose to fame in the UK alongside Susannah Constantine on hit shows What Not to Wear and Trinny & Susannah Undress, in which the pair gave members of the public (and a few celebs), much-needed makeovers – often transforming their lives. But behind the business scenes, the star – who has been dating Nigella Lawson’s ex, ad boss Charles Saatchi, for six years – treasures her…

Before the scandal broke, Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade, 20, was a prolific and successful social influencer with more than 2 million YouTube and Instagram followers. But in recent months, her YouTube channel has been noticeably quiet, with only one video – posted in December – in which she said she was keen to make a comeback. Many comments under the video were abusive, though, and she also lost several sponsors including Sephora and Amazon. “Olivia is in a strange place right now,” an insider told Us Weekly. “She’s mentally ready to put herself out there, but she also knows that all of her past issues will be front and centre again very soon. She’s trying to put on a brave face … but she’s very upset that she can’t explain…

“I tell them it’s all silly, and we’re all idiots!” On her way to pick up her 10-year-old daughter, Georgette, from school, Melissa McCarthy laughs as she reflects on how much she’s turned into her mum. “I probably mother everyone too much in a very irritating way,” says the 49-year-old, who’s also mum to 12-year-old daughter Vivian with her husband, actor-director Ben Falcone. “Sometimes Ben is like, ‘I really can cut my own sandwich.’ The more I love you, the more I fiddle. God help the people I like.” But the comedian has a soft side too. “We talk a lot about how being kind is really important to our two girls,” she says. “It’s hard to make that resonate in a world where the nastiest comment wins, and it’s…

1. SHOWER PREP As tempting as it is to take a long, steamy shower on a chilly day, that’s exactly what not to do. “Hot water strips skin of its oils,”says dermatologist Kenneth Howe. Try to limit your shower to five minutes, dial down the temperature and use a creamy body wash with nourishing ingredients such as shea butter and coconut oil, advises Dr Howe. Exfoliate no more than once a week to remove dead skin cells without causing irritation. 2. POUT PROTECTION Lips can be one of the first areas to suffer from dryness once temperatures begin to plummet. “Unlike the rest of the face, they don’t produce oil,” says dermatologist Francesca Fusco. They’re also constantly exposed to the elements. Try a non-irritating lip balm and apply it often.…

CSIRO LOW-CARB A carb-heavy diet tends to lead to weight gain and messes with your energy and insulin levels. Enter CSIRO’s version of low-carb, a science-backed weight-loss formula that involves eating 50-70 grams of good-quality unrefined, low-GI carbs, plus adding more fat and some protein into your diet. The expert says: “The CSIRO low-carb diet focuses on core nutrient-dense foods and delivers all essential vitamins, minerals, trace elements and plenty of fibre required for optimal health.

It’s a balmy Queensland summer’s day when we arrive at the iconic QT Gold Coast. Light and airy with pops of colour and signature QT quirk, the Surfers Paradise resort was the first QT hotel in Australia and had been a hit with locals and tourists alike since it opened back in 2011. Today, we are here to enjoy the hotel’s re-imagined pool landscape, The Spring, complete with a chic pool bar and lively neighbouring lawn and terrace, aptly named The Green.

The 45-year-old actor joins the cast of The Heights for its second season (starts Thu., Mar. 12 at 8pm; ABC), taking over the role of Pav, who was previously played by Marcus Graham. Have you had to take over playing a character from another actor before? This is the first time I’ve taken on an established character on a TV show. It’s rare for this to happen but it’s very common in theatre, where every role has been played by another actor at some point in history – unless it’s an original work, of course. Do you know Marcus Graham? Did you talk to him about the role at all? I’ve known Marcus and loved his work for years. I was also a fan of his work on The Heights…

With forced smiles and awkward pleasantries, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially bowed out of their position as senior working royals. Arriving for the annual Commonwealth Day Service on March 9, Meghan was glamorous in a bold green Emilia Wickstead dress as she walked hand in hand with Harry into Westminster Abbey for their final official engagement. The couple were shown straight to their second-row seats before Prince William and Kate Middleton arrived at their assigned places in the front row soon afterwards to wait for Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and the Queen to enter. In a tense, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it interaction, Meghan smiled, mouthed ‘Hi’ and waved at the Cambridges, while Harry said ‘Hello’ to his brother. Kate offered a nod of acknowledgement, but William was stony-faced and appeared…

A little more than 30 years ago, a young, dreadlocked rocker named Lenny Kravitz announced his arrival in the form of a video for his tune, ‘Let Love Rule’, from his debut album of the same name. Directed by his then-partner Lisa Bonet, the clip – with its warm psychedelic colours and ’60s hippie vibe – saw Kravitz imploring us to do exactly as the title of the song says. It was a simple message – and one that still resonates for Kravitz. “From that time to now, I’ve stayed on my course,” the 55-year-old musician says from his home in Paris. “My purpose is to represent love through the medium of music. It’s what I’ve done. I haven’t come off course and I will not.” “It was one of…

Croatia-born Jelena Dokic stunned the world in 1999 when, at just 16 years old, she defeated world No. 1 Martina Hingis in the opening round of Wimbledon. Representing Australia after migrating here five years earlier, Dokic quickly climbed the ranks to become world No. 4 by the time she was 19. Forced to walk away from her professional tennis career in 2014 due to an injury, the now 36-year-old struggled to adjust to normal life. Over the next four years, Dokic’s weight slowly crept up until she’d put on more than 50kg. “I was a professional athlete, so for me to then tip the scales at over 120kg was extremely hard and extremely difficult.” Speaking to WHO, the blonde beauty reveals how she managed to overhaul her lifestyle and bring…

Your ultimate date night? To be honest, I love nothing more than hanging out at home with Joel [Patfull], watching something we love, and eating a delicious home-cooked meal. Go-to date night makeup? Bronzed and natural. I’m always tanned thanks to my Elle Effect Tanning Mousse and I love a flushed cheek so I use NARS Orgasm blush and [I use] white eyeliner on the water line of my eyes (it makes them super bright) and Kevyn Aucoin The Volume mascara on top and bottom. On my lips it’s always NARS Dolce Vita lip crayon. I like to smudge it on so it doesn’t look perfect. I brush my brows up and use some Boy Brow from Glossier to make them extra bushy. For my hair it’s always my GHD…

Like many mums, Dana O’Brien, 36, didn’t have healthy eating on her mind after her third baby was born.“I was just in survival mode. Exercise and eating the‘right’ food were not my main priority,” she says. Reaching for easy and convenient meals meant her weight crept up and she felt she’d lost control over food. Three months after her baby was born, Dana joined the 12-week challenge at her local Goodlife Health Club. The challenge Determined to lose weight, get fit and make herself a priority, Dana treated her challenge as a job.“The hardest thing is making the time to fit in gym sessions. You need to have a plan, write down your goals, be organised. My partner was really supportive and would look after the kids so I could…

According to online wine retailer Cellarmasters, sales of organic wines are booming, so much so that sales have quadrupled in the past 12 months alone. “A couple of years ago we would only have a handful of wines from organic producers, but they weren’t marketed as being‘organic’ as there was very little interest at the time,” explains Christine Ricketts, cellar director for Cellarmasters. “However, in the last 12 months we’ve seen a huge surge in demand and supply of organic wines. “Many experts also believe organic wine tastes more vibrant than conventional wine, so there are many reasons to try organic wine if you haven’t already,” she added. Here, Ricketts debunks the most common myths about organic wine. MYTH: ORGANIC WINE = NO HANGOVER! Although organic wine has fewer sulphites…

While some of his former boy band mates receive way more column inches, Horan has got on with the task of producing arguably the best post-One Direction solo career. His music might not be as adventurous as Harry Styles’ but it’s not as bandwagon-jumping as Liam Payne’s either. On his second album, Horan delivers what he has described as a concept album looking at a variety of relationships – from the joy of wedding song ‘Black and White’ to post-break-up power ballad ‘Arms of a Stranger’. And there’s not a dud among the 14 tracks.  (Out Fri., Mar. 13)…

The 23-year-old is one of the hosts of new football panel show Yokayi Footy (starts Wed., Mar. 18 at 8pm; NITV) and tells WHO about the last … … time she kicked a ball around For the promo video for Yokayi Footy actually. Pretty funny – I had some oversized shoes on that day and each time I kicked the ball, [my shoe] flew off. We ended up adding some tissues in the shoe to make sure it stayed strong. … time she was underestimated I wouldn’t be able to pinpoint the exact time, as it actually happens a fair bit. However, I am unapologetically me and if someone else has set a standard of me that is lower than what I can deliver, that is on them and not…
