When I was pregnant, people warned me that I would soon experience a love like no other – and they were right. The moment I saw my daughter’s face my heart exploded. Even as a writer, I can never find the right words to describe it, but every parent out there knows how life-changing that moment is. This week, I’ve been moved to tears by Aussie dad Paul Warren’s crusade for his murdered daughter, Elly. It’s every parent’s worst nightmare and an unimaginable pain, but his undying love for her drives his fight for justice (read about his latest win on page 42). Since becoming a mum, singer Pink’s life looks somewhat different to her rockstar days, but she’s found a new muse in the form of her daughter Willow.“She…

It’s been almost 15 years since Lara Worthington posed in a bikini on a pristine beach Down Under and asked, “Where the bloody hell are ya?” But she looked just as fit and fabulous as she did in the 2006 Tourism Australia ad when she hit a beach in Huskisson on NSW’s South Coast on February 11. It hasn’t been a year since Worthington, 33, welcomed her third child into the world, but her post-baby body looked incredible as she posed in swimwear for a photo shoot. And the mum-of-three – who shares Rocket, 5, Racer, 4, and another boy born in March last year (whose name she’s yet to reveal) with hubby Sam, 44 – recently admitted she’s more confident with her body now than she was in her…

The success of much-loved show Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been tainted, with a number of the cast speaking out after creator Joss Whedon was hit with damning allegations about his on-set behaviour. The first and most direct claims came from actress Charisma Carpenter, who shared that the prominent film and TV director “abused his power on numerous occasions” while they worked together on the set of the hit show. “While he found his misconduct amusing, it only served to intensify my performance anxiety, disempower me, and alienate me from my peers,” the 50 year-old, who played Cordelia Chase, said in an emotional Instagram post. “The disturbing incidents triggered a chronic physical condition from which I still suffer. It’s with a beating, heavy heart that I say I coped in…

We’re all a little guilty of waiting for summer skin problems to happen instead of trying to prevent them – spots, blotches and burns, you know the drill. Well, it’s time to nip that in the bud, even with the warmer weeks on their way out. These are the tweaks to give you glowing goddess skin, and hair for that matter, for months to come. First, buy a new sunscreen (last year’s may have lost some potency). Then, consider the following … ADD THIS: VITAMIN C For an extra layer of protection and a dose of brightening, vitamin C (or L-ascorbic acid) is a skincare essential. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant that can help shield skin from environmental damage, it can also help to even out any pigmentation.…

Retinoids are the “buzzy” skincare ingredients that are said to be one of the best in the anti-ageing space. While we’re well-accustomed to retinoid products like retinol (also known as vitamin A) popping up here, there and everywhere, there are actually more forms of the compound out there that might be more powerful, such as retinaldehyde! Here, skincare expert Douglas Pereira explains exactly why you need to add some R and R (retinoids and retinaldehyde, that is!) to your skincare line-up … WHAT CAN RETINALDEHYDE DO? “Retinoids are a group of vitamin A derivatives that have a remarkable ability to reverse ageing, increase nutrients and encourage the production of collagen and elasticity in the skin,” says Pereira. “But due to the size of some of the derivative molecules, such as…

1 Consider any life cycle changes that adjusted the friendship dynamic such as a new partner, baby, job or moving away. 2 Be self-aware, admit your wrongs and seek forgiveness. You might even need to forgive yourself! 3 Be brave and talk things through. There should be equal “air-time” as you both listen attentively to each other. 4 Remember every adversity is an opportunity for change and growth. 5 Enjoy peace! If you reach out and get little or no response, you’ve done the best you can and won’t have regrets.…

“The idea of burning 600 calories [2500kJ] while lying on your couch or bed sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, the MiHIGH Sauna Blanket promises to do just that, as well as detoxify your body and calm the mind. Dubious at first, I was keen to put the blanket to the test – and I was in good company! Infrared saunas were first made famous by the A-list, including Jennifer Aniston, Kendall Jenner and Miranda Kerr, who vouched for the benefits. The MiHigh uses the same technology, but in a super-handy portable blanket form, which is easy to use and store. I put the blanket on my sofa so I could binge Netflix at the same time. Beware, it gets hot! I was sweating in no time…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 You love to be fast, and love to be first. Once a year, it pays off to take some time out. And this is that time of the year. Meditate, contemplate and get yourself some peace and quiet, you’re in need of it. You don’t have to rise up to every challenge you face. Take a slower pace and notice how wonderful it can feel. TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 Your solid, steadfast and loyal nature is what others rely upon. You don’t want to let people down – oh, but the pressure! And the fact that everyone keeps changing everything every five minutes. Welcome to 2021. Minimise potential drama by going with the flow and speaking nicely! A polite, but firm no might be needed, though.…

Ever since they broke through as an artist and released their first album in 2018, multi-instrumentalist Tash Sultana has proven to be one to both watch and listen out for. Now the 25-year-old Australian performer is back with their second album, Terra Firma. The title is inspired by the artist’s need to slow things down, coming off the back of a hectic (pre-pandemic) touring schedule. “I didn’t realise that I needed to create a space and home for myself to feel like a person again,” says Sultana. “I just went inward [when working on this album] and found a really peaceful place and wrote the album.” Since breaking through as an artist, Sultana has been lauded for composing, arranging, performing, engineering and producing their own work. But this time around,…

1 The duke is off the market! Sorry singles, it seems Bridgerton babe Regé-Jean Page, aka the Duke of Hastings, is taken – with the actor recently spotted embracing writer and soccer player Emily Brown. The news comes after his co-star Phoebe Dynevor admitted their relationship was strictly professional. 2 A bloody tribute to Megan When it comes to intense romantic gestures, Machine Gun Kelly has taken inspiration from former couple Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton.

The release of the New York Times’ Framing Britney Spears documentary has not only proven to be fascinating viewing for fans around the world, but it has also precipitated action from those in the pop star’s inner circle. The 75-minute exposé sheds new light on Spears’ rise to fame and controversial treatment by the media, as well as her mental health struggles. It also tracks the rise of the #FreeBritney movement, a campaign set in motion by fans concerned about the star’s ongoing conservatorship, which for the past 13 years has granted her father, Jamie Spears, full control over her personal and professional life. “Her dad is far from happy about [the doco]” – SOURCE “Her dad and others in the conservatorship are far from happy about it,” a source…

Last year, Worthington revealed she was using Pilates to help improve her fitness post-pregnancy. Using Fluidform’s at-home program, the mum-of-three admitted she had found her “happy place” while doing the workouts. “Into my second month of @FluidformPilates at Home,” she shared in October. “I have noticed a big difference already … such a good feeling!” “Pilates is all about finding consistency in moving and listening to your body,” Fluidform’s founder Kirsten King tells WHO. “Once this becomes integral to your daily life, you will see complete physical and mental transformation.” King says that finding ways to move that are “enjoyable and effective” is the key to creating a consistent workout routine – and seeing (and feeling!) the results like Worthington. “Pilates has the ability to change your whole body by…

While there was a big question mark about how Kim Cattrall’s absent character Samantha would be addressed in the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That, HBO’s chief content officer Casey Bloys has offered some insight. “Just as in real life, people come into your life, people leave. Friendships fade, and new friendships start,” he shared in an interview about the show. “So I think it is all very indicative of the real stages, the actual stages of life.” “They’re trying to tell an honest story about being a woman in her 50s in New York,”he added.“So it should all feel somewhat organic, and the friends that you have when you’re 30, you may not have when you’re 50.”…

Not even two years ago, Hannah Ferrier was busy living the ultimate party lifestyle as a “yachtie” on Below Deck Mediterranean. But cut to 2021 and the 34-year-old has swapped boats, booze and beaches for bassinets and baby bottles, welcoming daughter Ava Grace in October last year. “Those first few weeks are a bit questionable,” Ferrier laughs, when WHO catches up with the star. “I was like, ‘This is not what it looks like in the movies, let tell you.’ But, it’s good now.” Fans were livid when the former chief stewardess was abruptly fired for not checking in her valium prescription with the ship’s captain in the fifth season of the hit reality show. But the mum-of-one insists she was ready to leave her yachtie life behind long before…

EVERYBODY’S WEARING: DAD PANTS Who said fathers can’t be trendy? First we had chunky dad sneakers, then the Hawaiian-style dad shirt and now we’re raiding his wardrobe for his pants (well, kind of!) after seeing the likes of Hailey Bieber and other A-listers sporting this masculine trouser trend. They’re baggy in the crotch, sit slightly lower on the hip bone and are longer in the leg. We love them with a basic white tee and heels for a fresh take on office workwear.

Stress brings out the best and worst in us, so if there were already cracks in your friendship neuropsychologist Dr Hannah Korrel says the pandemic may have made things worse. “For instance, if your ‘bestie’ spoke poorly to you before COVID-19, further stresses may make him/her even more likely to speak to you rudely now,” she explains. This can be overt, subtle or a mixture of both. But how do you distinguish a toxic friend from a well-meaning pal with foot-in-mouth syndrome?“Pay attention to the intention behind the behaviour,” Dr Korrel says.“Your gut has a pretty good radar for what was intentionallymalicious and what was just an honest mistake from a friend that loves you. If you feel worse before, during or after an interaction with this person, that’s a…

VITAMIN B1 ALSO KNOWN AS THIAMINE Found in a wide range of foods, including pork, sunflower seeds and soy milk, this vitamin plays an important role in helping your body to metabolise (or process) carbohydrates. “Deficiency of thiamine results in a condition called Beriberi, which results in confusion, muscle wasting and an enlarged heart,” McGrice says. “I most commonly see this in women with eating disorders, clients with alcoholism and those who have had gastrointestinal surgeries.” VITAMIN B2 ALSO KNOWN AS RIBOFLAVIN “Riboflavin helps your body cells use fat, protein and carbohydrates from foods to produce energy or fuel,”McGrice explains. Sources include dairy products, eggs, salmon, almonds and fortified breads and cereals. “Common symptoms of deficiency may include a burning sensation of the mouth, purple-coloured tongue, itchy eyes or poor…

There is an old saying in Hollywood that one should never work with children or animals – but it’s advice that Alyson Hannigan is glad she ignored before making Disney’s new family comedy Flora and Ulysses. Based on Kate DiCamillo’s bestselling children’s novel of the same name, the film tells the story of 10-year-old Flora (Matilda Lawler) who finds an injured squirrel. After Flora nurses the critter back to health, he is reborn as a superhero with an uncanny knack for helping people who have taken a few knocks in life – and Flora’s recently divorced mum Phyllis (Hannigan) is the perfect person to start with. “It was a little nuts,” the 46-year-old star tells WHO of the movie set during a Zoom call from her home in Los Angeles.…

“I got a very stern message in my Instagram DMs, oddly enough, just going, ‘There really needs to be a cousin warning”’ Regé-Jean Page, on giving family members a heads up about his Bridgerton sex scenes, on The Graham Norton Show. “I’m not cutting it until I can get out there and this COVID’s gone … I hope I’m not tripping over it by the time it is” Matthew McConaughey, on growing out his hair, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “The best part of being married later in life is you get great wisdom – you don’t have your learner’s permit anymore” James Brolin, on meeting wife Barbra Streisand (inset) at 56, to Prada. “When you run out of things to do, you give your children a bag of happy trash,…

HEALTH Ashley Judd is in ICU in an African hospital after shattering her leg in a remote part of the Democratic Republic of Congo and enduring an agonising two-day ordeal to get help. The 52-year-old suffered “massive catastrophic injuries” during a night time excursion when she tripped over a tree in a rainforest, breaking her leg in four places and suffering nerve damage. It took 55 hours to transport her to a South African hospital where she has been recovering. “I thank everyone for their thoughts and their prayers and their support,” she shared. BIRTH Elsa Hosk has given birth to her first child with beau Tom Daly. The 32-year-old welcomed a daughter, Tuulikki Joan, sharing the happy news on Instagram. “Happiest day of my life meeting you. Proudest moment…

Justin Timberlake is on the defensive as the Framing Britney Spears documentary re-examines the fallout of his break-up with the pop star. Timberlake’s ‘Cry Me A River’ music video featured a Spears’ lookalike actress and a message that, to many, accused her of cheating while depicting his revenge fantasy. Additionally, he’s under fire for a resurfaced 2002 radio interview, in which he spills details about his sex life with Spears, whom he started dating in 1999. The backlash has also spilled over to address the lack of repercussions he endured following his active role in the controversial 2004 Super Bowl performance, during which Janet Jackson suffered a now-infamous wardrobe malfunction. “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke…

Speaking to WHO’s sister publication People magazine five years ago, superstar singer Pink was busting with parental pride. “I know everybody with kids says this – that their kid is their barometer of cool – but Willow tells me which songs of mine she likes … by just singing them after one listen,” she said. “She is my inspiration for everything.” “I find comfort in song” – PINK Now, she’s taken Willow’s input to the next level. On February 10, Pink took to social media to announce she is releasing ‘Cover Me in Sunshine’, a duet she recorded at home with her now-9-year-old daughter. “We all know this year has been different and challenging, and at times terrifying,” Pink – who also shares son Jameson, 4, with husband Carey Hart…

Amanda Bynes ended her dream career run with a tweet at 3am. “Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem,” the Nickelodeon TV star-turned-movie actress posted on June 19, 2010. “I don’t love acting anymore, so I’ve stopped doing it.” Although her retreat from the spotlight hasn’t all been smooth, just over a decade later all signs point to the former child star finally finding a peaceful path. Having worked as a professional actor since she was 7 years old, Bynes – whose credits include The Amanda Show, All That and She’s the Man – dropped off the radar for two years after her retirement tweet. She started making headlines again in 2012 for a string of car accidents, including drink-driving and multiple hit-and-run charges. In 2013, she…

As a neuroscientist, Jerusha Mather is already one impressive woman. Last year, the 26-year-old was not only named one of the Australian Academy of Science’s STEM Women Changemakers but was also selected for the 2020 L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science Mentoring Program – feats made only more inspiring due to the fact that doctors told Mather’s parents when she was born that she would likely neither walk nor talk. You see, Mather was born with athetoid cerebral palsy, a movement disorder caused by damage to the developing brain. “It means I do things a little a bit differently,” she explains to WHO. “I move and speak a bit differently, too. I don’t drive, and I have support workers to drive me around to places and help me a bit with…

The pandemic has had a huge impact on many friendships, with some bonds becoming stronger and others falling by the wayside. But are we being too quick to throw in the towel? Counsellor and neuropsychotherapist Joanne Wilson says it’s important to recognise that we all respond to stress in different ways. “Every person’s best attempts to cope with the unknown is varied,” she explains. “COVID-19 brought out some bizarre and often selfish behaviours as a result of fear, uncertainty and lack of hope.” It could be that your friends have had less time due to an increased workload. Or they may be battling with having less money. Sickness, death and grief can also bring about heightened emotions. Some friends may have put pressure on those around them by being needy,…

Due to recent advances in understanding ovarian cancer, researchers say they’ve never been closer to a cure for the disease that kills one Australian woman every eight hours – that’s three each day! With 1500 women diagnosed every year, and 70 per cent of those women having the cancer return after a period of remission, the disease is currently the deadliest yet most underfunded cancer Down Under. However, there are some things we can watch out for to help early detection … • Unexplained fatigue, weight gain or loss • Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation • Abdominal or pelvic pain • Persistent abdominal bloating • Needing to urinate often or urgently On this year’s Teal Ribbon Giving Day (February 24), for every dollar donated, Ovarian Cancer Australia will…

Last dream I had I had a dream [partner] Bec [Harding] and I were on The Amazing Race. But we had to pass through landmines to win the challenge. Nice idea for next season, it certainly would up the stakes. Last late night [US President] Joe Biden’s inauguration. Bec was with me and ended up eating a whole cheese platter to herself. Last time I danced New Year’s Eve. Bec and I danced until about 4am. A couple of drinks certainly improved my dancing, but I peaked at 2am and it was a steady decline from there. Last thing I discovered about myself That my great-grandparents were first cousins – it probably explains a lot! Last time I stuffed up While hosting The Cube, as the games have very specific…
