Although Jennifer Garner only recently reunited with businessman beau John Miller, insiders say the pair are considering a trip down the aisle! “Jen was not into the idea of getting married again,” a source told OK! magazine. “But this past year has been rough on everybody and it’s taught Jen, for one, not to take anything for granted.” The pair’s relationship initially ended because Miller, 43, wanted to take things to the next level, while the actress, 49, wasn’t ready. But Garner is said to have recently had a change of heart. “Deep down, Jen always knew John was husband material,” the source added. “Her time apart from John has made her re-evaluate things. She thinks she’s finally ready to make this huge step.”…

As his sizzling romance with girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian heats up, Travis Barker’s relationship with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler is getting messier by the minute. After months of publicly throwing subtle shade on social media, the model and former pageant queen claimed in a May 18 interview with Us Weekly that she divorced Barker in 2008 because he was having an affair with Kourtney’s younger sister, Kim Kardashian. “I divorced my ex because, I saw them – I caught them having an affair,” she said. “Someone sent me all their [text] conversations, and I’m also close friends with people who were there while things were happening … It’s something I was well aware of.” “I caught them having an affair”- MOAKLER A source close to Kim denied the claims to Page…

There is an old adage that you can’t be what you can’t see. It’s a concept that this year’s reigning Miss Universe Australia, Maria Thattil, is very familiar with. The second generation Australian, whose parents are Indian immigrants, has just returned home after competing in the 69th Miss Universe competition in Florida, US, on May 16. Strutting her stuff on stage in a red bikini and a sparkly silver gown alongside 73 of the world’s most beautiful women, Thattil looked like she was born for the spotlight but admits she suffered from “imposter syndrome” in the lead-up to the big day. “I ended up becoming what I needed to see”—THATTIL “In the seven decades of the competition I found out that I am only the third person of colour to…

MIX AND MATCH Skincare trends come and go, but multi-masking is one that’s stuck around, and for good reason. As the name suggests, it’s essentially slathering on different types of masks that are tailored to different parts of your face. After all, puffy eyes and an oily T-zone call for completely different active ingredients, right? These raw organic matcha and charcoal formulas from Sabbia hit just the right spots.…

WHAT IS INTIMACY ANOREXIA? You’ve seen the phrase in headlines, or your girlfriend may have used it to describe her new romance at your last catch-up. But what exactly is intimacy anorexia? Let’s start at the beginning. This term was coined by US psychologist Dr Doug Weiss to explain why some people deliberately and intentionally withhold intimacy in a relationship. “This lack of intimacy harms the marriage, damages the relationship causing pain and loneliness, and impacts the spouse or partner significantly,” he says. If you thought anorexia had to do with eating, you’re right. Neuropsychotherapist Joanne Wilson, author of Renovate Your Relationship, explains the word – derived from ancient Greek – means “without appetite” and widely refers to a serious eating disorder, meaning its use in a relationship context isn’t…

Over the past decade, Matthew Nable has made a name for himself as one of Australia’s premier storytellers from starring in some of our most acclaimed dramas, including Underbelly: Badness and Mr Inbetween, and writing several bestselling books and screenplays in his spare time. In his fourth novel, Still, Nable tells the story of Senior Constable Ned Potter, who discovers the body of an Aboriginal man on the shallow edge of a swamp in Darwin in 1963.

However, as Potter sets out to investigate the crime, the policeman soon learns that no-one in the local community seems to care about the death of an Indigenous local. After a childhood spent in the Northern…

Anna George knows what it’s like to be a stressed-out mum. But after careful research, she made a few tweaks in her home life that helped even out the chores and saved her sanity. In Tipping, she shares this advice in a fun fictional story about Liv, whose son is involved in an Instagram scandal at school. Fed up with the sexism she experiences and with being under-appreciated, Liv delegates chores on the home front and lets the school know they have some work to do, too. While things start to improve, not everyone is happy with the changes. George believes there are lessons we can all take away from her novel. “I hope women (and men) are inspired to look at their own lives through fresh eyes and see…

The couple exchanged vows in a gothic wedding in 2004 and a year later began documenting their roller-coaster relationship for MTV reality show Meet the Barkers. “The relationship was always dysfunctional,” a friend tells People. “They were always love and hate.”The couple split in 2006 but briefly reconciled following Barker’s near fatal plane crash in 2008. After both accusing the other of cheating, they officially filed for divorce and began a bitter custody battle. It hit a low point in 2014 when Moakler called the police claiming Barker had threatened to “put a bullet in her head.” No arrests were made and eventually they settled into cooperative co-parenting.…

Emma Stone has “baby brain”, adorably muddling her thoughts when WHO talks to her about her deliciously devilish role in Cruella – a Disney live-action origin story about how the villainous Cruella de Vil first begets her hatred of dalmatians. “Sorry, I haven’t slept!” laughs Stone, 32, who became a first-time mum on March 13 when she and hubby Dave McCary, 35, welcomed a baby girl. The couple first met in 2016 when she was a guest on Saturday Night Live, where McCary works as a writer and segment producer.

THE BESTIE As a loyal client-turned-best friend, a lot of Minnelli’s (played by Krysta Rodriguez in the series) most iconic looks from that era were Halston. “We got along instantly, and he became my fashion mate,” Minnelli once told Harper’s Bazaar. “I did what he said. He really took care of me.” THE MUSE His first fit model, Elsa Peretti (Rebecca Dayan, right) became the designer’s muse and could often be seen gliding down runways in his era-defining dresses. She designed the bottle for his first fragrance and eventually signed her own deal with Tiffany & Co.

GET CREATIVE IN THE BEDROOM Before you switch on the heater, have a look to see if there are any other changes you can make. Flannel sheets, woollen blankets and hollow fibre quilts are all good options that can save you serious cash on your energy bills. Wool, cotton and silk pyjamas will all keep you warmer than synthetic fabrics, and move your bed so it’s not near the window. Never use wheat bags in bed, as they can overheat and cause fires. Instead go old-school with a hot water bottle (fill with hot, not boiling, water and put under your blankets 15 minutes before bedtime). EAT SEASONALLY Thanks to modern transportation, most fruits and vegies are available year-round. But there’s a good argument for eating seasonally. Food that’s in…

ECLECTIC FLAIR More is more if you’re a maximalist, so let your loud outfits inspire your furnishings and make your next purchase go beyond merely functional and instead become a piece of art. Take decorative pieces from past and present (the more they clash, the better) and layer into one for a new take on this weird and wonderful trend. Bright colours, bold prints and wacky shapes are a must! Tip Don’t just opt for clashing colours with your furniture and fashion, try weaving in a mix of textures, too. MODERN MUSE As with her wardrobe, the classic minimalist enjoys a quiet, clean space with subtle pops of colour and unique pieces in every corner. Aim for an air of cool, with mid-century pieces and one-of-a-kind collectables that make this…

This could well be related to frustrations arising from the ongoing travel restrictions because of the pandemic. Try to remember everyone is in the same boat and this, too, will pass. TAURUS APR. 19-MAY 20 It’s a big week for you. The eclipse energies are hitting an important part of your chart – your money zones. So it’s the right time for you to turn the corner financially.

For years, fans of The Bachelorette have called for Brooke Blurton to be the one handing out the roses. The 26-year-old youth worker became one of the most popular contenders on Nick Cummins’ season of The Bachelor in 2018, even though she ended up quitting the show before the last rose ceremony. But finally producers have paid attention to the calls and placed Blurton, who identifies as bisexual, in The Bachelorette mansion. “I am so ready for this,” the proud Noongar-Yamatji woman from Western Australia shares. “I’ve done the show twice before. [Blurton also participated in Bachelor in Paradise in 2019.] Now I’ve got the opportunity to choose my person and who I want in my life and that is a truly unique and special experience.” In a worldwide first,…

Last thing I discovered about myself That I’m a complete neat freak. I always knew I had to have everything in its place but now that we’ve spent so much time at home, I realise maybe things don’t have to be at a 45-degree angle on the coffee table. Last time I was starstruck I was at a dinner party and looked over and was like, “Oh, my God, is that Joni Mitchell?” She was sitting on the floor and had this straw hat on with this giant fake flower. I was eventually introduced to her and, trembling, sort of shook her hand. She’s my icon. Last time I danced Two nights ago. We dance around the kitchen a lot, usually to ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ with several people doing…

Barely a month has gone by since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck found their way back to each other, 17 years after they broke off their engagement. They’re not letting love get away from them this time around either! According to insiders, the reunited couple are going full speed ahead after reconnecting in the wake of Lopez’s split with Alex Rodriguez in mid-April. “As soon as Ben and Jen started talking, it became obvious their connection was as strong as ever,” a source told Us Weekly. “When they eventually met up, all bets were off.” Having already enjoyed a romantic vacation in Montana in early May and a mini-break together in South Florida two weeks later – where they were spotted kissing during a gym date – Affleck, 48, and…

Original Friends production designer John Shaffner’s marching orders for the HBO Max reunion show were clear: re-create the set exactly the way it had been during the last season of the series. Fortunately mostly everything had been archived or used in the studio tour at Warner Bros.“I would say we got about 75 per cent of the furnishings from the boys’and the girls’apartment. And almost everything from the coffeehouse because it was in the museum,”he says. Past photos, shopping and a little creativity filled in the rest.“As much trouble as it was to accomplish, I think it was brilliant.”…

The relevance of the British monarchy has never been questioned more than now after being constantly attacked by Prince Harry this year. But through all the drama, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have emerged as the jewels of the crown, forging ahead with their roles and proving the institution will thrive when they finally begin their reign as king and queen. The couple, who are currently touring Scotland and charming the nation to help ward off calls for independence from the UK, put on a united front as they visited the Scottish Violence Reduction Centre in Cockenzie, East Lothian, on May 24. Leaning over a DJ turntable, Kate Middleton, 39, had her husband in hysterics as she tried to lay down a beat. “It sounds like a cat,” Prince…

They were one of the world’s most powerful couples, regularly mixing with celebrities and US presidents while never putting a foot wrong during their 27 years of marriage. But after Bill and Melinda Gates announced they were divorcing, the Microsoft founder has been plagued by scandal and it may cost him his fortune. When the pair announced their split through a joint statement on Twitter on May 3, they said they “no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives”. However, they will continue to work together at their charity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. While the split appeared amicable, within days cracks started to emerge with sordid secrets from the past surfacing against Bill, 65. These included details of affairs,…

When thousands of Australians took to the streets earlier this year to demand gender equality and greater action against sexual assault as part of the March4Justice rallies, Home and Away star Patrick O’Connor was listening. “We were on an away shoot with work [not long after] and we were discussing the current treatment of women in our society,” the actor, 28, tells WHO. “I felt that there was a connection between the type of man that seemed to be committing this behaviour and my experience with toxic masculinity growing up.” Instead of just batting away the issue, O’Connor decided it was time to speak up and shared an emotionally charged post detailing his own experience with toxic masculinity. “I think as men we have the real potential to change for…

It’s certainly been a strange year for most of us, but somehow Michael B Jordan – who was named by WHO’s sister publication People the Sexiest Man Alive in 2020 – has only gotten hotter and happier. Six months after earning his sexy guy crown, the New Jersey-raised actor, 34, is reaching a new career milestone playing super-soldier John Clark in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse (streaming on Amazon Prime now). He’s following stars like Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and John Krasinski as the latest hero in the Jack Ryan universe. “It felt good to give it a fresh take and breathe some fresh air into this project,” says Jordan, who also produced the film. “Modernise it a bit and make it a little more reflective of the world…

Does tattoo removal actually work? When done with a laser, yes, tattoo removal is possible. “We use the latest and most powerful medical laser technology called Discovery Pico Plus to effectively remove most or all traces of unwanted tattoos,” says tattoo therapist Hang Nguyen from Sydney’s Next Level Clinic. What is Discovery Pico Plus? A multi-purpose, short-pulse laser by Cynosure, it effectively treats pigmentary conditions in the skin, and can also be used successfully for tattoo removal. “It delivers a photoacoustic effect to shatter tattoo ink, leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed, which helps to minimise the chance of scarring,” says Nguyen. “The skin heals quickly and evenly, and there is little risk of permanent scarring or discolouration.” How much does it cost and how many sessions does it take to…

COLOUR POP LOS ANGELES Hollywood’s red carpets have been in dire need of a bit of colour and the 2021 Billboard Music Awards event certainly delivered. From Alicia Keys’ hot pink ensemble to Nick Jonas’ green-hued get-up, stars served up rainbow vibes at the award ceremony.
