Just like Adele, I recently turned 33. True to style, I had a mini panic about whether or not I had achieved what I had set out to by this age. But if this past year has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes things are completely out of our control and we have to learn to adapt. A quick Google search tells me the number 33 represents that all things are possible and I truly feel that – just look at Adele! The singer has embraced her new life as a single mum and, after working hard to lose 45 kilos, she finally feels confident in her own skin. To read why she’s loving being“thirty free”, turn to page 22. Age-defying superstar Cher has never shied away from being authentic,…

In late March, Jolie volunteered to testify about domestic violence claims, despite the accusations having been “reported to the authorities and thoroughly investigated before concluding no wrongdoing” at the time of their split in 2016. “These have been the same attacks repeated for the past four and a half years,” an insider told Vanity Fair at the time. Another source later revealed to Page Six that Pitt felt the leak about the claims was intentional to sway the outcome of the trial. “He is feeling more and more isolated from his children,” they said. “He’s devastated about it.”…

EVAN RACHEL WOOD The actress, 33, who dated the rocker from 2007 to 2010, named Manson as the man she has previously said abused her.“I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission,”wrote Wood, who has advocated for laws supporting domestic violence survivors. ASHLEY WALTERS Manson’s former personal assistant, 37, accused the singer of “psychological abuse”, physical violence and gaslighting. “Horrifying, deranged behaviour and insane scenarios became normalised,”wrote Walters.“It felt like I was his property.” SARAH MCNEILLY McNeilly, 38, wrote that she was lured by his“love bombing”and now suffers from mental health issues and PTSD. “I was emotionally abused, terrorised and scarred,”she said.“I want to see Brian held accountable for his evil.” ESMÉ BIANCO The Game of Thrones actress, 38, who dated Manson in 2011, filed a lawsuit on April 30 alleging…

Cher’s career in entertainment has spanned seven decades. During that time, she has reinvented herself countless times – as a folk singer, rock star, Oscar winner, disco queen and the undisputed Goddess of Pop. Over the years, she’s risen the ranks and stood the test of time – and looked good while doing it. “I’ve worked my whole life to keep my strength in my body,” says the star, who celebrates her 75th birthday on May 20. “There are 20-year-old girls who can’t do what I do.” With her keen sense of social justice combined with a wicked sense of humour (in full flight with her biting social media commentary), she’s said she still feels like “an older teenager” and her fountain of youth involves keeping things fun. “It can…

In 2016, after 30 years of running her eponymous makeup brand, Bobbi Brown decided it was time to walk away. “I’d been so focused on changing things and doing things better, because that’s just my personality,” she says. But a conversation with her 90-year-old aunt Alice made her stop and rethink. “She said, ‘Every time I talk to you, you talk about all the things you have to do, and you’re just not getting them done,’” Brown recalls. Still, “it certainly was not an overnight decision.” After tendering her resignation, Brown spent two days moping – “my best friends and neighbours came over with a bottle of tequila”, and she had a “really good cry” –and then got ready to move on. “I was like, ‘Oh, I feel awful. Well,…

The makeup guru became a certified health coach in 2018. She works out daily – Peloton’s yoga and strength classes are favourites – drinks plenty of water and follows a gluten-free diet.“I don’t consider exercising and [watching] what I put in my body self-care; I consider it maintenance. It’s what I do,”she says.“For me, self-care is leaving the dishes and things that need to be done and getting in a bath with Epsom salts, then hopping in my bed with my iPad or a book and having time to do nothing. I’m usually asleep in a half hour!”…

AGU is a genetic and neurodegenerative disorder that results in the absence or shortage of the aspartylglucosaminidase enzyme in lysosomes (cells that contain digestive enzymes). As a result, glycoproteins build up within cells to toxic levels, disrupting normal cellular function throughout the body, including in the brain. It is a fatal disorder; people with AGU have a shortened life span. There are around 120 cases in the world, with most cases occurring in Finland. According to the US Rare Trait Hope Fund, AGU causes“delayed speech, attention deficit, clumsiness, restlessness and continuous respiratory infections.” www.raretrait.com…

Like a vintage tweed jacket, Parisian beauty rituals are carefully guarded, passed from mother to daughter and the envy of women across the globe. With whisperings from Paris, we unlock the long-held secrets to their perfectly imperfect approach to beauty. COMMIT TO THE CAUSE “To achieve a beautiful, clear complexion you have to take care of your skin, and French women learn very young how to do this,” says Payot CEO Marie-Laure Simonin Braun. The French skincare philosophy is all about working with the skin you have by investing in regular facials and targeting concerns in each step of your regimen. “On a daily basis, skin is cleansed and toned, followed by a serum, an eye cream and a day cream,” says Payot’s Australian national education and sales training manager,…

PRESS PLAY Some of our much-loved brands have come back from a lengthy pause and we couldn’t be happier. Australian-owned and family-run fashion retailer Bardot took a moment post-COVID, only to re-emerge earlier this year stronger, with a new fashion-forward direction and now operating almost completely online with just one flagship store in Melbourne. Embracing Bardot’s core DNA with all pieces designed to transcend trends with more than one season in mind, the OG Bardot is back from its hiatus and our teenage selves are rejoicing. The joy continues with one of our favourite international lingerie brands, Love Stories, coming back to our shores. Championing the bralette and that versatile sexy-cool vibe, this Amsterdam label feels like it was made for Aussies, too, so we’re happy to see it back.…

ARIES MAR. 20-APR. 18 The mindfulness movement has long since swept the planet. Expansive Jupiter has now moved into your 12th house, meaning you can go deeper into a spiritual practice such as mindfulness or meditation. Or you can allow all your fears to scare you! (Used wisely, meditation can help you personally and professionally.) CANCER JUN. 21-JUL. 21 As well as missing friends and family, most of us have also missed the chance to travel freely, thanks to the pandemic. That said, it looks like those brakes are coming off for you. Even if you can’t get away long-haul just yet, a trip away (especially to somewhere on the coast/ a big waterway) is now more likely. LIBRA SEP. 23-OCT. 22 Lately it hasn’t been as easy as it…

It’s second time lucky when it comes to Montaigne’s performance for Australia at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. After the event was cancelled last year, Montaigne – aka Jessica Cerro – was set to head to Rotterdam for this year’s show when it was decided it was safer for her to perform her anthemic composition ‘Technicolour’ from home in Australia. “I’ve had to roll with the punches,” laughs the artist, 25. “I’m just glad that I’m getting to be part of all the craziness, in some form, that is Eurovision this year.” You’ve had to pivot a few times when it comes to your performance. What can we expect? I can’t say too much, but think in studio, a huge lighting rig and I’ll be in a kind of box.…

ON THE GREENS MIAMI Justin Bieber may have got a hole in one or he was just excited to film his new music video with DJ Khaled on a golf course. The singer showed off his new look during the shoot and we can’t say we’re as thrilled as he is. DAD BOD INSTAGRAM He’s used to waking up in the wee hours of the morning for a workout, but Mark Wahlberg has packed on some paunch for a new film role.

“They won’t present a united front”-SOURCE They were brothers who leaned on each other as they “went through hell together” following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. But Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship is now so fractured following Megxit, the Oprah Winfrey interview and a strained reunion at Prince Philip’s funeral, that the pair cannot put their differences aside for one day to honour their beloved mum. The siblings are scheduled to appear together on July 1, at the unveiling of a statue dedicated to Princess Diana on the grounds of her former home at Kensington Palace. The event marks what would have been her 60th birthday if she had not been killed in a car crash in 1997. “You might have thought they’d go for a joint…

W hen Ashley Morgan Smithline first began conversing with Marilyn Manson in July 2010, she thought he was the perfect man. “All we talked about was our favourite movies and our favourite books. We knew the same lines from the same movies,” says the California-born model, who was introduced to the singer (real name: Brian Hugh Warner) by a mutual contact, photographer Tyler Shields. Then working in Bangkok, Smithline says her relationship with the LA-based Manson, known for heavy metal with shocking lyrics, grew from emails into hours-long phone conversations. Over several months, “he lured me in with this endless intelligence”, says Smithline, 36, who thought she had found a sensitive soul underneath his ghoulish persona. “It felt very safe and secure.” But soon a monster emerged, according to Smithline,…

She may be staying out of the spotlight as much as possible these days, but Adele gave a glimpse of her private life as she celebrated her 33rd birthday on May 5. The singer treated fans to a stunning trio of snaps, showing fans that she’s looking and feeling better than ever. “Thirty Free,” she captioned the images. The ‘Hello’ hitmaker unveiled her incredible 45kg weight loss [see breakout] last year, and since then has maintained her new diet and fitness regimen. “She’s telling friends she feels like a new woman,” revealed the source. “Her main focuses are being a mum to son Angelo, writing and recording new music, and putting her health front and centre.” Despite a recent sadness due to the loss of her long-estranged father Mark Evans…

Since the wholesome reality show 19 Kids and Counting debuted in 2008, TV audiences have followed the ups and downs of devout conservative Christian Arkansas couple Jim Bob Duggar, his wife Michelle and their 19 children. Even after the show went off the air after 10 seasons, fans have been routinely updated with news from the ever-expanding brood. On April 23, the family’s eldest son Josh and his wife Anna – who memorably shared their first kiss on their televised wedding day in Season 2 – announced the impending arrival of their seventh child, a girl. Less than a week later, the couple made headlines again, this time breaking far more disturbing news. Josh, 33, was arrested on April 29 on one count of receipt of child pornography and one…

Early days Brown says in her 20s she was a “passionate wannabe makeup artist” who honed her skills at fashion shows (like this one) in the 1980s. “If I didn’t have a positive attitude, I never could have done this”—BROWN, ON LAUNCHING JONES ROAD DURING THE PANDEMIC Female founder Brown (in 1997) launched her line with lipsticks: “I never thought of having a full makeup range, but people kept coming back for more.” Savvy executive The beauty pro (opening the Bobbi Brown Cosmetics counter at Macy’s in NYC in 2013 with former CEO Terry Lundgren) left her brand after 30 years: “I wanted to be an entrepreneur again,” she says. Bestselling author In 2017 Brown released her ninth book, Beauty from the Inside Out, about wellness: “I realised that people…

Like many first-time action stars, Jodie Turner-Smith learned a lot about her physical abilities while filming her role as a Navy SEAL opposite Michael B Jordan in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, available this month on Amazon Prime Video. But beyond any preproduction boot camps or intricately choreographed combat sequences, Turner-Smith’s preparation for the role came with an additional challenge: at the time, she was pregnant and in her second trimester. “There were moments I thought I was in over my head,” says the 34-year-old actress, who, along with her husband, actor Joshua Jackson, 42, welcomed daughter Janie last April. “I’m excited to eventually tell her, ‘I was pregnant with you when I did that!’” Turner-Smith never imagined herself in such physically demanding roles – or any other movie roles, for…

Over the past year, fashion has revolved around comfort and we’ve missed that excitement of buying a new top or wearing our favourite heels out to a bar. Now, as things are starting to get back to normal, our excitement is building – only to realise we’re heading into the cooler months. So whether you’re reworking what you’ve got or splurging on some new staples, here’s how to work it for you. TOPS “Going out”tops are back, including those handkerchief styles favoured by ’90s stars.

Alan shares his three tips for a sound slumber, no matter your chronotype! CONSISTENCY Have a regular bedtime and wake-up time where possible (including weekends). This avoids shifting your body clock from day to day. “Social jet lag” can occur after staying up late on weekends then trying to readjust our body clock to get up early Monday morning for work or school. HERE COMES THE SUN Morning exposure to a few minutes of sunlight will entrain your body clock to the external environment, making you feel more awake and alert during the day. Consider a short walk outside on the way to work or school. SCREEN TIME Avoid light exposure prior to bedtime (such as screen time) as this will shift your body clock later, making it harder to…

After 25 years and 30 seasons of jetsetting around the world as the host of Australia’s longest-running travel program Getaway, there is no doubt that Catriona Rowntree has picked up hundreds of stamps in her passport. But the star reveals there are still plenty of places she’d like to explore once borders open again – and Japan is at the top of her list. “I’ve never been able to nab a trip to Japan and everyone I know who has been ends up saying it is their new favourite destination,” the 49-year-old tells WHO. “Once the travel restrictions are over, I think I’m going to book a family holiday there,” she adds, referring to her husband James Pettit and sons Andrew, 11, and Charlie, 10. Do you know how many…

Amber Petty has done many things in her life. She was a music executive, a reality show contestant, a radio show co-host and a royal bridesmaid. But the now-author never thought she’d be a victim of domestic abuse. Her close friend Princess Mary had already got her happily ever after with a Danish prince when Petty found herself juggling a violent boyfriend and a toxic work culture. In her memoir, This is Not a Love Song, she opens up about her past to show that for many of us, love is not always a fairytale. “I wanted to connect with [young women] with what I considered was a cautionary tale – perhaps save them from a bit of heartache, which eventually can manifest into mental health issues,”Petty tells WHO. “I…

DEATH Nick Kamen has died aged 59, after a long illness. The model, singer and ’80s heartthrob’s death sparked an outpouring of grief from stars such as Madonna and Duran Duran – with Boy George describing him as “the most beautiful and sweetest man” in an Instagram post. Despite many years in the modeling world and his hit singles ‘Each Time You Break My Heart’ and ‘I Promised Myself’, Kamen was most well-known for stripping off in a cheeky commercial for Levi’s jeans in 1985.

It’s been a hell of a year, but if there’s one thing the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us, it’s that we’re all in this together. And that was certainly the message from singers, celebrity speakers and world leaders alike during the Global Citizen’s Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite The World at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on May 2. The concert had the star power befitting LA’s first live event in over a year, with Selena Gomez hosting, Jennifer Lopez performing, and Prince Harry speaking on the need to help less-resourced nations get vaccine doses. Thousands of fully-vaccinated frontline health care and essential workers enjoyed the show at the stadium and the event was a smash hit with many others around the globe, with Global Citizen raising over $385…

I’ve had my share of things that made me feel … you know, hard to speak too much about it, but just overwhelming or broken,” she shared with Entertainment Tonight. “I’ve…

Born Brian Warner, Manson – who named himself after Marilyn Monroe and murderous cult leader Charles Manson – has long drawn controversy with his violent and misogynistic lyrics and videos. Rising to fame in the late ’90s with his album Antichrist Superstar, the rocker – unmistakable with his macabre makeup – has sold more than 50 million records. Manson, who once told Spin he had“fantasies every day about smashing [Evan Rachel Wood’s] skull in”, was previously married to burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese.“I urge those of you who have incurred abuse to take steps to heal,” Von Teese said previously in support of the women, adding that she left Manson due to his“infidelity and drug abuse”. , 52, wed photographer Lindsay Usich last year (she has not commented on the…

It started as a typical Aussie love story – a girl meets a boy in a bar, they fall in love and live happily ever after. But when 28-year-old Mary Donaldson met Fred during a night out at the Slip Inn in Sydney’s Darling Harbour in September 2000, he turned out to be the heir to Europe’s oldest monarchy. “The first time we met, we shook hands,” Mary, now 49, would later recall to biographer Jens Andersen of the night she met Crown Prince Fredrik. “I didn’t know he was the prince of Denmark. Half an hour later, someone came up to me and said, ‘Do you know who these people are?’” she explained. “There was a sense of excitement”—PRINCESS MARY At the end of the night, the Crown Prince…

He’s reality TV royalty, but Spencer Pratt has talked about how difficult the earliest days of his fame were for him. “I was very volatile and emotional during the earlier seasons of The Hills because of how shady the production on the show was back then,” the 37-year-old tells WHO. “At that time, I felt like it was a team of adults against [now wife] Heidi [Montag] and I. It was like, ‘If you don’t do this, you won’t get millions of dollars and we’ll sue you.’ So I was, like, 22 and did what they wanted me to do. I became the villain guy, but I had no say in that. If I look back on it now, I was bullied.” Pratt is speaking out ahead of the second…

Prep your skin “The secret to a flawless face starts with hydration. If you drink enough water and use a good moisturiser, you won’t need as much coverage.” Apply foundation strategically “Most people think they should apply foundation everywhere. Instead, focus on spot-correcting redness around the nose, under-eye circles and any other blemishes to create a more natural, even skin tone.” Blend your bronzer “Since your neck is usually lighter than the rest of your face, apply bronzer to give the area a subtle tint. Use a brush to sweep bronzer up and down until you’ve blended it into the skin evenly.” Embrace a little glow “The key to my no-makeup makeup look is using a nourishing, light-reflecting sheer balm. You can wear it alone to enhance skin or layer…

She was born with an ultra-rare genetic disorder that causes a raft of physical and mental disabilities, but there is one trait of the disease that seems particularly cruel for Trisha Sawhney. Within a few years, the 12-year-old will lose the ability to swallow. For a schoolgirl who loves to spend her spare time cooking, and thrives on baking biscuits and cupcakes, it will be a devastating blow. “Every time we’re eating and she coughs, we think that she’s getting closer to not being able to swallow,” her father, Neeraj Sawhney, tells WHO from the family home in Burnside Heights, Melbourne. “It’s always in the back of our minds. It just breaks us.” That symptom is just the tip of a debilitating disease. Trisha has a condition called Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU),…

ANDRA DAY Singer and Best Actress nominee Andra Day kept it light and airy with her look, with the star’s long-time makeup artist Porsche Cooper using Chanel’s best golden palettes to paint shimmery eyeshadow on her lids for an iridescent sheen. Cooper added a rosy hue to Day’s lips that looked gorgeous against her curls and tumbling fringe. MARGOT ROBBIE Yes, it’s true – Margot Robbie can do no wrong in the beauty stakes. And while we absolutely love her new fringe, it’s her soft, natural makeup that brought the whole look together, cementing the “no-makeup makeup” trend as one that’s here to stay. “It was really not about doing anything tough or hard,” says her go-to guru Pati Dubroff, who glammed Robbie on the day. “I just kept thinking…

Fear is a subject I often ask my guests about on Tea With Jules [Sebastian’s YouTube show]. I remember obsessing over what drives successful people and how they seem to eat fear for breakfast! I thought of these people as mystical creatures wandering the land like unicorns conquering one magnificent task after another, without so much as a sweaty palm or a fluttering heart. But as I asked more guests about this subject, what I discovered was that, in fact, my theory was very wrong. Not one person I chatted with about being afraid was void of fear. They were simply void of showing it. You see, most of them actually face what makes them afraid. Some choose to move through the fear quickly, while others allow themselves to feel…

Chantelle Jamieson has joined the fifth season cast of Doctor Doctor as no-nonsense government official Sharna Bahit. But the actress knows that her arrival – and subsequent romance with Rodger Corser’s character Hugh – is set to ruffle some feathers. “I feel conflicted,” Jamieson tells WHO of getting embroiled in a love triangle with Hugh and Penny (Hayley McElhinney). “As someone who watched the show previously, I’ve been hoping that Hugh and Penny will finally get together. But Sharna comes into Whyhope and causes chaos that I can’t wait for you to see!” We imagine starring as Rodger’s love interest isn’t a hard day at work? No, it really isn’t a tough gig! Rodger is such a great actor and has a brilliant mind when it comes to telling a…

Last wardrobe malfunction I’ve always had issues with zippers. You’re so squeezed in, like a Christmas turkey. Or wearing nipple pads and then with a flashbulb, you only see the pads. Note to self: I’m OK with a nipple showing as opposed to two white circles on a black dress. Not pretty. Last guilty pleasure There’s been so many in lockdown. Chocolate for me is the biggest, especially when I know it’s there. I have a snack cupboard in my kitchen with bags of British chocolate that my mother smuggles in. I just know where all the naughty things are. Last time I danced I was walking my dog trying to convince him to pee and poop in the snow: “It’s just like my white carpet!” I had my headphones…

Bert Newton has made the brave call to have his leg amputated, after an infection in his toe saw him faced with the“life or death”decision. The Aussie TV icon underwent the emergency operation on May 8, with wife Patti later telling reporters that he chose to lose the limb so he could be there for his family.“It was needed and he had a choice, and his choice was to live,”she shared of the star, who has suffered numerous health issues after undergoing a quadruple heart bypass surgery in 2012.“It’s mainly for the grandchildren because he wants to watch them grow.”Despite it being early days, the 82-year-old is in“good spirits”and is taking it“one day at a time”.…
