At a time when good news stories seem in short supply, British war veteran Captain Tom Moore is punching above his weight. He first won hearts around the world when he walked the 25-metre length of his garden 100 times to raise money for Britain’s National Health Service. Moore completed his walker-assisted mission on April 16 intending to raise £1000 ($1900).

Six months ago, Desperate Housewives actress Felicity Huffman was serving an 11-day prison term for paying a $46,000 bribe to get her daughter, Sophia Macy, into a prestigious college. But last week, Sophia, 19, proved she didn’t need her mother’s interference as she was granted a place at an elite theatre school. Sophia, whose dad is actor William H.

Her younger sister, Georgia, will also be heading to the US East Coast to begin studying at Vassar College, north of New York. “Felicity is so proud and grateful that Sophia has kept her chin up over the last year,” a family friend told WHO. “It was a painful, challenging time…

Their relationship has been strained ever since he walked out of her life when she was just 10, but last week, amid the COVID-19 lockdown, Jennifer Aniston finally let bygones be bygones and made up with her 86-year-old father, John. The Morning Wars actress had years of therapy to deal with the abandonment, and blamed his actions on the subsequent breakdown of her relationship with her late mother, Nancy Dow. But as the pandemic claims tens of thousands of lives in the US, many of them elderly, she decided to put her resentment in the past. “It’s like she has realised life is very short and she wants her relationship with John to be the best it can be,” a friend of John told the Mail on Sunday. “Jennifer didn’t…

Ayik Chut Deng had been living in Australia for eight years when he saw the face of the man who had tortured him nearly two decades earlier. “I’d shoot him. I wanted to kill him”–AYIK CHUT DENG The thought of encountering Anyang, a fellow child soldier in the Second Sudanese Civil War, had preoccupied Ayik for years. But he never imagined it happening at a suburban Brisbane wedding. “After all those years I thought he was dead [but] he was in church, he was there. I couldn’t believe it,” he tells WHO. But while the now 43-year-old had imagined getting his revenge on his tormentor on many occasions, on that day in 2004, he was frozen. In his newly released memoir, The Lost Boy, Ayik writes about how he willingly…

LOLA BERRY nutritionist, author, yoga teacher What does self-care mean to you? Putting yourself first.

Prosecutors in the trial of Full House actress Lori Loughlin, 55, were last week forced to defend their actions after the main witness in the case, Rick Singer, accused them of telling him to lie. Loughlin denies paying Singer a $770,000 bribe to get her daughters into the University of Southern California, claiming she believed the payment was a donation to the college.

It did not fabricate evidence. It did not entrap any defendant.”The trial is set for October.…

Sailing out of Sydney Harbour at dawn on April 5, as the sunrise burnt the sky orange and playful dolphins led the way into open water, Anika Craney breathed in the sea air and smiled. At a time when Australians were still adjusting to a new way of life under the cloud of a pandemic, the 28-year-old and her six crew mates were heading toward an extreme world of isolation: living on a 12m sailing catamaran off the Australian east coast. “We were going south,” says Craney. “It felt like going home, being lucky enough to explore my favourite coastline, play with seals, enjoy the ocean air – and feel like I belong somewhere again.” “I belong somewhere again” It was a feeling she had long been yearning for. Craney,…

Ryan Murphy was just 4 when he decided he wanted a career in showbiz, after his mother and nan took him to see Barbra Streisand’s musical comedy Funny Girl. “I was like, ‘That’s it! I’m gay. And I’m going into show business,” Murphy told The New Yorker. Half a century later, he has steadily become the undisputed king of the small screen, the writer and director whose face you might not recognise but whose work portfolio over the years – think Glee, American Horror Story and Scream Queens to name just three – has made him perhaps Hollywood’s most powerful showrunner. While his creative genius and love of all things bold and excessive have set his projects apart from the mainstream, it’s Murphy’s “restlessness and ambition and too much passion”…

K-pop is a musical genre known for its catchy tunes, high-energy dance bands and flamboyantly colourful fashions. But the fun and excitement, which has spread from its native South Korea to the rest of the world in recent years thanks to such bands as BTS, can belie a darkness that has driven many performers to such despair that some even took their own lives. “It was fun at first,” says Amber Liu, who grew up in Los Angeles, where she was discovered by one of South Korea’s largest entertainment companies, SM Entertainment, at age 15, and sent overseas where she was groomed for the South Korean girl group f(x). “But later the loneliness and all that stuff settles in.” There was gruelling training and pressure to please others. “Of course…

Judge me all you want, but I need to make a confession. I was one of those people who panic purchased. I went straight past the grocery store into the bottle shop and bought wine – lots of it. It’s not because I didn’t have any wine – on the contrary I have a lot – but I saw my good stock depleting rapidly and I felt the need to panic buy. But wait, there’s more. Not only did I panic buy wine, I panic bought cheap and not necessarily very good wine. Did I drink the cheap wine? Yes I did. Did I enjoy the cheap wine? Negative. Now that my panic-buying phase is exhausted, I’ve come out the other side on the hunt for decadent wines at a…

She’s the daughter of singer and producer Lionel Richie, and wife of famed Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden, so it would be natural to assume that Nicole Richie is living the lavish lifestyle of the rich and the famous.

MICRO-RECOVERY FROM STRESS 1 Breathe in for 4 counts, breathe out for 8 counts. Repeat 10 times. It’s important to have that long slow extended exhale as that activates recovery. 2 Take at least 5 minutes to walk in nature, without your phone. 3 Sing or hum your favourite song. Singing and humming activates your vocal chords, which stimulates your vagus nerve which in turn will start recovery. 4 Get up and dance to a song: make it a team or family mini-break activity. 5 Look out of your window and appreciate the view for 2 minutes. 6 Call a loved one for a five-minute conversation.

TRAVELLING THROUGH FILM These are the movies that inspired us to see the world A SPANISH SOJOURN VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA This Woody Allen romantic-comedy-drama may have had an A-list cast, but the photogenic Catalonian capital was the film’s scene stealer. Starring Javier Bardem as a charismatic painter, Scarlett Johansson and Rebecca Hall as two friends spending the summer in Barcelona, and Penélope Cruz as Bardem’s fiery ex, the film was shot at locations across the Spanish city including the National Museum of Art of Catalonia and the Gothic Quarter. However, some of the most spectacular scenes were shot at Gaudídesigned public space Park Güell and Tibidabo theme park, Spain’s oldest amusement park, boasting the best views of Barcelona.

During these recent weeks, when everything else in the world has changed, I’ve been able to rely on one thing: Survivor. Each Thursday, another episode of my all-time favourite reality show’s 40th season has aired on 9Go! And what a season this one has been. Subtitled Winners at War, it has brought back 20 previous champions for a battle of the best. The game play has been intense, every single contestant has been going for broke – no goats here – and so much has been happening that you can’t miss a single second. Australian padding-prone reality TV producers, take note. And while I could sit here and whinge about the problematic Edge of Extinction element or how the loved ones’ visit, which I know some people love, went for…
