When something as senseless as the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd occurs, it’s human instinct to want to do something to help create change. But this week, like many people, I’ve really grappled with exactly how to do that – what can I do? What should I say? Is it even my place? What if I say the wrong thing? I will never fully understand the experience of a person of colour, so am I better off just staying silent? But we were reminded this week that staying silent and not being passionately anti-racist is essentially endorsing the actions of Floyd’s killer. While celebrities are often quick to use their social platforms to preach to their millions of followers without actually taking action themselves, many have put their money…

Brad Pitt has spent the better part of four years trying to prove himself as a devoted father, working hard on his sobriety and fighting for a fair custody arrangement with his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, 45. And it seems the 56-year-old actor’s persistence has finally paid off, with the once warring couple finally settling on a routine that will see him reunited with his children “every few days”. “[Brad] and Angie have been getting along so much better since the custody rules have been worked out. They have come so far,” an insider told Entertainment Tonight. “Brad’s kids are the most important thing to him. He tells his friends he learns so much about life from his own children.” And the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood  actor had the…

Reality star Kylie Jenner made history in March 2019 when at age 21 she was officially ranked by Forbes magazine as a billionaire. The Kylie Cosmetics mogul’s spot on the magazine’s annual rich list saw her set the record as the youngest-ever self-made billionaire. She raked in her 10-figure fortune at a younger age than even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (who was 23 when he hit that mark). “The recognition feels really good,” she told Forbes at the time. “That’s a nice pat on the back.” However on May 29, she woke up to a slap in the face. In a new explosive report titled ‘Inside Kylie Jenner’s Web of Lies – And Why She’s No Longer a Billionaire’, Forbes is now alleging that Jenner and her team could have…

Unapologetic comedian Ricky Gervais has made a sport of skewering the lives of spoiled celebrities, ridiculing them mercilessly in his role as five-time host of the Golden Globe Awards. And these days, the coronavirus pandemic – and the response of the pampered and privileged – have provided him with plenty of new fodder. “You won’t hear me complain,” he told The New York Times about locking down in London with his girlfriend of 38 years, Jane Fallon. “Not when, every day, I see some millionaire celebrity going, ‘I’m sad that I’m not on telly tonight.’ Or, ‘I had a swim in the pool that made me feel a little bit better’.” In fact, for The Office creator, “life hasn’t changed much. I didn’t go out a lot, and there’s always…

It Girl “There is nothing to learn about beauty,” says the star (circa 1965). “Only to appreciate what you were given.” Lasting Love Goldie and longtime partner Kurt Russell co-starred in 1987’s Overboard. They’re going strong: “The other night he looks at me and goes, ‘I cannot believe how [beautiful] you look,’” Goldie says. Sharing Life Lessons Her Goldie Hawn Foundation started MindUP, which supports mental health education in schools. She teamed with Kate’s activewear company Fabletics in 2018 for a collection to benefit the program. Funny Lady On Laugh-In circa 1970. “The quality I would most love Rani to inherit from my mum is her access to laughter,” says Kate. Grateful Grandma “She just came out, and everything was perfect,” says Goldie (holding granddaughter Rani with Kurt in 2018).…

Ellie Gonsalves boasts more than 1.3 million Instagram followers, a modelling career that takes her around the globe and a strong support network, which includes her longtime love, Ross Scutts. But Gonsalves will be stripped of her fame and fortune when she appears with four other high-profile Aussies – Arron Wood, Dr Andrew Rochford, Ciaran Lyons and Pauline Nguyen – on Season 3 of Filthy, Rich & Homeless (premieres, Tue., June 9, 8.30pm on SBS). “A lot of people will come for Ellie Gonsalves being eaten alive by cockroaches in her bed, but I think a lot of people will stay for the amazing message this show sends,” the 29-year-old tells WHO. Unaware of the homeless crisis in Australia because of her privileged upbringing, Gonsalves explains that after spending 10…

Eight months into their relationship, Nanjiani’s now-wife Gordon fell ill and was placed in a medically induced coma for eight days. She was eventually diagnosed with adult-onset Still’s disease, a rare inflammatory immune disorder. They married shortly after Gordon’s recovery in 2007 and in 2017 co-wrote the rom-com The Big Sick, based on their real-life romance. Better Together Co-writing their story “helped us see the events from each other’s perspective”, said Nanjiani. “That was a strange and great side effect.” Making Their Movie “I never wanted to play myself. I’m not an actress,” admitted Gordon, here with Nanjiani on the set of their flick The Big Sick.…

WHAT: LUNETTE REUSABLE MENSTRUAL CUP COST: $55 Like most women, I dread the days leading up to my period. Having recently made the switch to a more sustainable lifestyle, the idea of spending money on period products that would be quickly disposed of frustrated me. For months I had been actively searching for a single product that could simplify my sanitary needs while providing a positive environmental impact. I had recently trialled a pair of “period proof undies”, which I loved, but was looking for a more discreet product to use during the day, so when WHO was approached by Lunette to review their menstrual cup, I decided to give it a go. The product came with a small sheet of easy-to-follow instructions and a beautiful silk drawstring bag for…

Rose Byrne has had more surreal experiences than most of late – aside, perhaps, from the one we’re all collectively living. She first felt it last year when she arrived in a small rural town in Georgia to shoot Jon Stewart’s satire Irresistible, about Washington DC politicians hijacking a local Wisconsin mayoral race. “We were a film crew coming in and taking over,” Byrne says. “There was an element of mirroring of what we were dealing with [in the movie].” She felt it again later that year in Toronto while filming Mrs America (continues Tue., Jun. 9 at 8.30pm; Fox Showcase), the ’70s-era limited series for which she transformed into feminist icon Gloria Steinem. (“There were things we were discussing in 2019 that we were discussing on the show, whether…

LET’S SHAYK IT UP NEW YORK, MAY 26 Irina Shayk wore a mask to ex Bradley Cooper’s home, where the 34-year-old supermodel spent nearly four hours. The exes share 3-year-old daughter, Lea. Shayk has reportedly been dating Vito Schnabel. SPIKY THIS WAY INSTAGRAM, MAY 27 Leave it to Lady Gaga to make a fashion statement during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ‘Stupid Love’ singer made sure she was safe and looked rather fierce while personally handing out copies of her new album, Chromatica, to retailers – driving from shop to shop in a truck. Gaga wore a pink, spiked face mask by Michael Ngo and long bubblegum pink hair. TONED AND I LOS ANGELES, MAY 27 Jessica Simpson showed off her taut figure in this selfie. Simpson has been spending her…

It was a horrific situation that plays out all too often in the United States and around the world: an unarmed black man at the physical mercy of a white police officer. For almost nine minutes, Minneapolis Police Department officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into George Floyd’s neck, pinning him to the ground as bystanders begged for him to be freed. But the officer’s face remained expressionless, even as Floyd pleaded “I can’t breathe” and “they’re gonna kill me” – among the 46-year-old’s last words before he died. Floyd’s alleged crime? Trying to use a fraudulent $20 bill at nearby deli, Cup Foods. “They need to be put in jail”— FLOYD’S SISTER His tragic death, captured on video for the world to see, sent waves of outrage across the…

Ain’t nothin’ gonna break their stride! There might be a pandemic going on, but it seems there’s something in the water, with several big-name celebs awaiting their impending arrivals in isolation. And as their bellies grow, these glowing mammas-to-be can’t avoid those pregnancy cravings. “You want to talk cravings?” Katy Perry joked.“I like, literally, never cared for spice and now, I have to carry Tabasco sauce in my purse … some people have essential oils, and I have Tabasco sauce.” As for model and media personality Vogue Williams, she’s embracing her curvier look, which she blames on the babe – and not her love of bread and chocolate.“I feel a lot bigger this time,” she shared with her Instagram followers of her second pregnancy.“And it’s true what they say: girls…

MY GUILTY PLEASURE IS … GOLDIE A hot fudge sundae. KATE Frozen yoghurt with chocolate chips, and French fries. ON A BAD HAIR DAY, I … GOLDIE Stay home and watch Downton Abbey. KATE Do pigtail braids or a top knot. Easy peasy! I’M MOST COMFORTABLE IN … GOLDIE Fabletics! KATE The clothes that I make! My Fabletics leggings or my HappyxNature Maxi Muse dress.

Striking Style “My own definition of beauty is a feeling of peace when I am not concerned about any aesthetic whatsoever,” says Kate (in 2015). Pretty Penny She was nominated for an Oscar for her role as rock groupie Penny Lane in the 2000 film Almost Famous. Beautiful Belly Kate (pregnant with her first son, Ryder, at the Venice Film Festival in 2003) had fun with her maternity style on red carpets. Full Nest “Danny makes me feel beautiful every single moment of the day,” says Kate (above with Rani, Bing and Ryder in 2019) of Rani’s dad. “His devotion to the family unit makes me feel safe.”…

If you have been spending the months of quarantine sorting through cupboards and decluttering your wardrobe – and your whole life – then you may find that your priorities are shifting. Last year sparked a huge trend towards sustainable options for lifestyle and fashion choices, but the beauty world has been a little slower to catch on. Whether your primary goal is to reduce packaging and waste, try products that are made using ethically sourced ingredients and farming practices or you just want to attempt a more mindful approach to beauty and respecting nature as a whole, the flow on effect is huge. We have researched and rounded up some of the brands that are choosing to make a difference with their products and ethos. SUSTAINABLE SKIN BYBI The brand’s…

WHO sat down with chef, health coach and bestselling author of The Keto Diet, Scott Gooding, to discuss a new-found approach to a diet channelling a return to simplistic food sourcing and preparation. Gooding promotes seasonal eating, researching where your food is coming from and supporting local farmers markets and providores, a few basic things that our modern world has forgotten with our fast-paced lives and easy access to fast food. There is research into the health benefits of a slower, more considered diet – with even small steps like sitting down to eat instead of eating on-the-go or at your desk – that shows it can make a huge impact on your overall wellbeing. Adding a diet that is sustainable is not only beneficial to our health, it also…

There is common misconception that all household recycling ends up in landfill, but according to data commissioned by not-for-profit environmental organisation Planet Ark, “84-96% of kerbside recycling is recycled, and the remaining 4-16% that goes to landfill is primarily a result of the wrong thing going in the wrong bin”. Visit Planet Ark for more information (planetark.org), and see our list of five problems and solutions for recycling products: 1 SOFT PLASTICS IN THE RECYCLING BIN Problem: Get caught up in the sorting machines Solution: Drop off at Coles and Woolworths stores in the recycle bin 2 BAGGED RECYCLABLES Problem: Bags get picked out manually and end up in landfill Solution: Keep items loose when placing recyclables in the recycling bin 3 FOOD/ORGANICS Problem: Lowers the quality…

Controversial drama 13 Reasons Why wraps up this week with Season 4 (starts Fri., Jun. 5; Netflix). Here are 13 reasons why I’ll tune in: 1. I’m a sucker for teen dramas. 2. I’ve been a sucker for this particular teen drama so far. Even Season 3. (OK, last season wasn’t great, but I still watched it all.) 3. Even though the show has come under fire, I’ve felt that it has generally dealt with sensitive issues responsibly and provoked discussion. I know many disagree, and they are absolutely entitled to not watch and to prevent their children watching as well. 4. I like closure, and there is unfinished business when it comes to these characters. 5. Specifically, S3 ended with two major cliffhangers. Firstly, Winston (Deaken Bluman) revealed that…

Besides music superstar Wonder, influential names such as director Spike Lee, activist Gloria Steinem and Oprah Winfrey are each the subject of an episode in this 10-part series. As well as recapping the impact of their illustrious careers, Dear… hears from everyday people who have been inspired by the famous faces and their life’s work. Full marks to whoever thought to include Big Bird in the mix – the episode dedicated to the Sesame Street character features some particularly affecting stories about how the kids’ icon has helped viewers over the years. (On Apple TV+ from Fri., Jun. 5)…

While the concept of this social experiment is no longer novel, the prospect of seeing how five relatively privileged, kind of famous Australians cope living on the streets does not lose any of its impact. As we watch the change in the participants’ circumstances have an immediate and very real effect on them, it serves as a reminder that it doesn’t take much for people to find themselves without a home. There’s no need for manipulation and twists from the producers either – real life provides all the obstacles required. (On SBS On Demand from Tue., Jun. 9)…

There’s a peacefulness to this second album from the English singer, who has written for artists including SG Lewis and Tori Kelly, and whose brother, Dominic‘Dot’Major, is a member of equally chilled trio London Grammar. Songs such as‘She Chose Me’and‘Figment of My Mind’drift over you like a light summer breeze, with Major’s effortless vocal blending perfectly with the minimalist instrumentation. Any longer and the album might have become too much of the same good thing, but 10 tracks is the perfect length. (Out Fri., Jun. 5)…

KIERAN As the first person to enter the Big Brother house, the self-proclaimed worst driver in Adelaide, 21, was always going to be memorable, especially given the task Big Brother asks him to complete. But Kieran also attracts attention thanks to his willingness to embrace the new strategic element of Big Brother this season (starts Mon., Jun. 8 at 7.30pm; Seven). “I want to play a bold strategic game that allows me to survive under intense pressure,” the videographer says. “I will be the type of housemate that won’t be afraid to say how it is, make bold strategic moves, and lie and cheat to get to the end of the game.” That said, Kieran does admit one of his weaknesses is “worrying too much about things I can’t control”.…

“I don’t like seeing old people on TV … That’s why I obviously never did another TV series.” Jerry Seinfeld, cracking about why he hasn’t returned to television after Seinfeld, on The Howard Stern Show. “I can’t be her. I’m not supposed to be her!” Tracee Ellis Ross, on getting compared to her mum, Diana Ross, to Rolling Stone. “If he comes back, maybe we’ll have to do it all from our homes again, which is fine with me.” Blake Shelton, pretending he “can’t even be in the same room” as fellow US Voice coach Nick Jonas, during a virtual press conference for the show. “Wearing daytime pyjamas and then changing into nighttime pyjamas sets a good example for your children.” Sarah Michelle Gellar, on her quarantine wardrobe, on Instagram.…

What’s not to love about Georgia Love? After chatting to the former Bachelorette and roving Ten News reporter  from the Melbourne home she shares with fiancé Lee Elliott, we can unequivocally say: nothing. This girl is pure sunshine! Grateful to still be working amid the COVID-19 pandemic, things are looking good for the social butterfly in lockdown, despite having to postpone her Italian wedding. Here, Love, 31, chats about her stalled nuptials, baby talk, and the memory of her beautiful late mum, Belinda. You have a lot going on right now, with work as well as your podcast, Everyone Has An Ex. Listening to people’s dating disasters has become a guilty pleasure! We’re such sick little voyeurs! A friend and I came up with the idea when we were on…

GOLDIE The best beauty advice that I passed down to my daughter is … KATE Green juice. GOLDIE Yes, and get your sleep, clear your mind. Meditate. KATE Saunas. Colonics. [Laughs] GOLDIE Oh yeah. Why wasn’t that No. 1? [Laughs] There’s every which way to clean. Beauty is from the inside out. KATE The biggest similarity between our parenting styles is the kindness. Looking people in the eye, that’s where we’re strict. The other stuff, I just want my kids to be happy and be good people in the world. GOLDIE And feel connected, you know? Sometimes Kurt would say I wasn’t tough enough, and he’d say,“You just want everybody to be happy”. And guess what I’ve done with my life? Created a program [MindUP] to help children understand themselves…

It wasn’t all that long ago that party girl Lily Allen was downing a bottle of Grey Goose vodka a night, sleeping with female escorts and turning to drugs and alcohol as a “crutch” to cope with the breakdown of her marriage. But in the space of a few years, the 35-year-old has completely turned her life around . Since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Allen has been isolating in her London home, home-schooling her daughters Ethel and Marnie, baking and playing house with her rumoured fiancé, Stranger Things star David Harbour. And after years of destructive partying, Allen also recently revealed she’s been able to maintain her sobriety, and as a result, is in the best physical shape of her life. “9 months sober today! And the beginning of an…

• SET GOALS, KNOW LIMITS I had to get good at exercise. I knew what my weaknesses were and what my strengths were. Well, I didn’t really have any strengths going into it. I just knew that I could work really hard and I’d do whatever it took to get there. • STICK TO A SCHEDULE Part of the challenge for me [in quarantine] is, “What are things I can look forward to every day?”Working out is one of them, breakfast is one of them; weekends. I need structure so bad now that I’m sort of looking for it in places. • WORK OUT THE CHRIS HEMSWORTH WAY I did Men in Black: International with Chris and got some tips from him.

COTTON CARRY BAGS Unlike disposable plastic bags used in supermarkets, The Swag bags are composed of a raw unbleached and unseeded cotton. The 100 per cent compostable bags are non-toxic and chemical free and are ethically manufactured in an SEDEX Certified factory in India. COMPOSTABLE LINERS There are many versions of “biodegradable” and “eco-friendly” bin liners on the market but it’s important to note that many of them are not in fact compostable and can take years to break down in the right environment. A home compostable bin liner like this one made from corn starch and printed using a soy based ink will allow you to kickstart the process from your own abode. MINERAL TABLETS Any product that comes individually wrapped inside an already plastic package is a big…

TAKE FEWER, MORE MEANINGFUL TRIPS As travellers, there’s no denying most of our personal carbon footprint comes from the planes we travel in. Studies have shown that emissions from tourism amount to 8 per cent of the global total, with flying making up the largest share. Travel-obsessed Australians will never stop flying but experts say the lockdown period has been an opportunity for people to reflect on the way they travel, and perhaps inspire them to take fewer but more meaningful trips. “Travel is going to become even more meaningful for everyone,” Tom Harding, the co-founder of digital travel planning service Nemo, told Forbes. “I think people will begin to appreciate their trips even more and, given the economic climate, will not be able to travel as much, meaning one…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Your power of suggestion is a useful asset now concerning authority, planning and method. Money matters are not such a worry and you may become less compulsive with spending. Relaxation is important as you are trying to do too many things all at once. Settle down, take some time off and enjoy. Expand your horizons, read a good book or watch a movie. TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 Your daily routine will be full of exciting new changes and you may make contact with a new circle of friends. People are attracted to you now and there may be a new opportunity or an offer for you to be involved in community affairs. An important legal matter will be resolved favourably. All new opportunities should be pushed…

If anyone could call themselves experts on binge-watching it’s former Goggleboxers Symon Lovett (left), 33, and Adam Densten, 29, who are the ambassadors of new streaming service Binge (binge.com.au). What show have you binged recently? SYMON After a massive build-up I finally started The Sopranos – far out, it lives up to the hype! Season 1 done in a day. Now I think I’m in the Mafia. ADAM My plan this weekend is to block out the blinds and settle in to Succession from go to whoa. That plus 10 boxes of BBQ Shapes is a recipe for a great weekend. Any show you’ve had to turn off? SYMON Vanderpump Rules. Admittedly, it was an iffy selection in the first place. ADAM Dr Pimple Popper. Pus and a hangover don’t…

This much-hyped novel about the re-imagined life of the former First Lady has been labelled fan fiction for Hillary Clinton admirers. It opens in 1969 with Hillary Rodham’s bright future seemingly affirmed after she receives a seven-minute ovation for her college graduation speech. As in real life, she attends Yale Law School and meets fellow student Bill Clinton. They have a connection, but his fatal flaw is revealed: he’s a serial womaniser. In real life, Clinton asked Rodham to marry him three times before she said yes; in this alternative universe, they part. But it’s what happens decades later, when history almost repeats itself, that makes this novel so poignant, compelling and bittersweet. (Out now)…

• The biggest difference from previous seasons is that up until the finale, Big Brother is prerecorded. • It will be the housemates themselves, rather than the public, who will determine who is evicted. Although, viewers will be able to vote for the ultimate winner of the $250,000 prize. • Nomination challenges will be held, with the winner getting to decide which three housemates will be up for eviction. • Housemates will then vote, Survivor-style, for the person they want to be evicted. Also like Survivor, that will bring an element of gameplay and strategy to Big Brother that hasn’t previously been part of the show. • The Big Brother house, located in Sydney’s North Head, is also brand new.…

Last time I sang out loud For some reason, most mornings I wake up with a lot of energy, and there’s singing. It’s just gibberish; I am the music. Last game I played I played Scrabble the other day with my girlfriend [model Gabriella Brooks]. I used to play it with my grandma, so it made me nostalgic. It also made me realise I’m terrible at spelling. Last moment of bliss You’re still allowed to surf here [Australia]. I paddled out the other day and looked around and I was on my own. I’m just grateful to spend time here now. Last recurring dream I’m being chased or held down, and I get sleep paralysis. My eyes aren’t open, but it’s as if I’m in that room trying to wake…
