Over the weekend I decided to make Mars bar slices as a treat after seeing a recipe on Instagram. I made enough to feed a small army, but they didn’t last the weekend – I practically inhaled them. Unlike our cover star Jennifer Aniston, I don’t have the strongest willpower. The actress is able to eat just one chip (yes, one!) and turn down sugar-filled cocktails. While I’m a big believer in not depriving yourself, I’m going to take a leaf out of Aniston’s book after she decided to prioritise her health – and it’s paid off! Find out exactly what she does to look that great at 52 on page 10. My biggest hurdle when it comes to diet is finding the time to cook healthy meals. I often…

On August 14, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker hugged and held hands after arriving around an hour late to California’s Camarillo Airport. Kourtney’s mother Kris Jenner and her boyfriend Corey Gamble were already waiting onboard Kylie Jenner’s 22-seat private plane ahead of a family trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “Travis took his time and definitely seemed a little bit nervous,” an eyewitness told E! News. “Kourtney was very supportive and helped him every step of the way. She made him feel comfortable.” “She helped him every step of the way”-SOURCE The trip marks the first time Barker, 45, has stepped foot on a plane since he survived a deadly 2008 plane crash, which killed four people. “Kourtney has been very supportive. She never pushed for him to fly,” a…

After revealing their on-set flirtation on Friends: The Reunion, fans have been fervently keeping watch on Aniston and her former co-star David Schwimmer. So it certainly caused a stir when recent rumours of a romance between the single stars hit headlines. “They’ve been spending time at Jen’s home, where she’s cooked dinners in the evenings, and have enjoyed quality time together, chatting and laughing,” a source told Closer magazine. Although a representative for the actor, 54, has since denied the whispers, their flirty Instagram banter has kept fans’ hopes of a future romance alive.…

It’s been 13 years since Christina Applegate became a breast cancer survivor and after remaining cancer-free for over a decade, there is no doubt she hoped her biggest health battle was behind her. But on August 10, the star revealed she’d been given another heartbreaking medical diagnosis. Applegate announced she has the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis and was still adjusting to the news she was given earlier this year. “A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It’s been a strange journey,” Applegate shared on Twitter. “But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition,” she added. Applegate, who is no stranger to health struggles after she made the tough decision to have a double mastectomy during her cancer treatment in 2008,…

When Olivia Rodrigo turned 18 back in February, she started navigating the typical milestones of adulthood: graduating from high school, moving out on her own, along with figuring out how to grocery shop, cook and clean for herself. “It’s been a learning experience,” she recently told GQ magazine. Some experiences for the teen though aren’t quite as normal, namely dealing with her ascent to pop stardom. The past eight months have been full on for Rodrigo. There hasn’t been quite as much hysteria since Taylor Swift catapulted herself into mainstream music back in the late noughties. In January, the teen released her first single‘drivers license’, a sombre and sorrowful ballad about young heartbreak. It debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and quickly smashed Spotify’s record for…

During his lifetime Thomas Hicks (right) had a mixed reputation in McCaysville, where he treated locals for everyday ailments while also performing illegal abortions and selling babies – a sideline few knew about – at his clinic (far right). “Some thought he was horrible,” says Blasio, “but he was also loved by a lot of people.”…

FIRST OF ALL – WHAT ACTUALLY ARE HAIR BONDS? Hair is made of a strong protein called keratin. This is held together by bonds, which are responsible for how your hair looks, including its shape, strength and shine. WHY DO THEY NEED REPAIRING? Depending on how you care for your hair, these bonds can become damaged or break, leaving locks looking dull and broken. Bleaching, dyeing and heat can all have detrimental effects on the bonds of your hair, but even those with virgin hair can benefit from a bond-repairing treatment to get their locks looking their best. HOW DO I FIX THEM? When it comes to rebuilding hair bonds, amino acids are the wonder ingredient. We mentioned that hair is made from the protein keratin – well, keratin is…

The flow of information we’ve had to absorb since the start of COVID-19 has been enormous and endless. Details about variants, travel restrictions, rules, exposure sites, testing and plenty of things to check and double-check. And don’t forget to check into (and out of!) locations you’re visiting via apps and forms. And that’s all added on top of our existing load of daily information, such as emails, news, books, social media, chat, messages and more. The load of information we humans are expected to carry is a heavy one. No wonder our head feels “full” at the end of the day. It’s a reminder that our brains didn’t evolve to be constantly filled with information, all day, every day. In fact, this problem (known as cognitive load coping – how…

She’s won seven Logie Awards, including five for Most Popular Actress for her starring roles in hit TV dramas including Offspring, Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo and Party Tricks, so there is no doubt that Asher Keddie has some serious acting chops. But playing grieving mum Heather, who heads to health and wellness resort Tranquillum House to get over the death of her son in Nine Perfect Strangers, took everything the star had. “It was a rigorous role for sure,” the 47-year-old actress tells WHO. Keddie is a parent herself. She shares her 6-year-old son, Valentino, with husband Vincent Fantauzzo, and is also stepmum to the artist’s older son Luca, 11. “For me, playing the role as authentically as I possibly could meant trying to imagine the unimaginable,” Keddie…

The last time John Mayer put out new music, it was 2017 and the world was a very different place. But rather than release new material in 2021 that was heavy, serious and reflective of the current times, the singer instead says his new album Sob Rock is the more lighthearted equivalent to “s--tposting” on the internet. “What I would love other people to understand is that there is no more reason to have to adhere to any given idea of cool,” Mayer recently told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. The ‘Your Body Is A Wonderland’ hitmaker was referring to a comment made at the start of his career, when he was told his music was “not what’s hot”. With the focus often centred on his good looks and…

DEATH Ernie Sigley has died at age 82. The Australian TV host and radio presenter, best known as “the little Aussie battler”, passed away peacefully after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a family statement. The Gold Logie winner hosted Adelaide Tonight on the Nine Network in the ’60s and early ’70s, before he took on his own national variety show, The Ernie Sigley Show, in 1974. • Actor Francis “Frankie” Mossman has been found dead in his Sydney apartment.

1 The BIG funeral scene Just days after rumours surfaced that the SATC reboot And Just Like That was set to kill off Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) husband Mr Big (Chris Noth) in the first episode, extras were caught on set filming a funeral. Say it isn’t so! 2 Barb had other ideas ...

Just after midnight on Sep. 19, 2008, Barker and his close friend and musical partner Adam Goldstein were two of six passengers who boarded the 11-seater Learjet bound for Los Angeles from Columbia, South Carolina. During an aborted take-off, the plane skidded off the runway, broke through a fence and burst into flames before slamming into a highway embankment. “When I jumped through the emergency exit when the plane blew up, I was in such a hurry to exit the plane I jumped right into the jet, which is full of fuel,” Barker explained in a 2019 interview with podcaster Joe Rogan.“My whole body lit up.” He almost lost his foot and would spend four months in hospital.“In about 11 of my 30 surgeries in the burns centre, I woke…

As her Afghan village became a battleground between the Taliban and government forces last month, Fatima, a 22-year-old who is seven months’ pregnant, desperately sought refuge in her home. As bullets pelted the walls, Fatima not only feared for her life and the life of her unborn child, she was terrified of a darker fate. “We had heard of cases where the Taliban would kill young men and sexually abuse girls and young women of the family,” Fatima told Afghanistan’s Rukhshana Media. “When they finally came to our village, they wanted to take a young girl with them, but she jumped from the roof of her house and ended her life.” On August 15, that military organisation brought its dreaded brand of terror to Kabul, seizing control of the capital…

Multiple sclerosis is a condition of the central nervous system, which interferes with nerve impulses within the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. The symptoms are varied and unpredictable, but may include vision loss, pain, fatigue and impaired coordination. In extreme cases, it can lead to total disability. MS affects over 25,600 people in Australia and more than two million individuals have been diagnosed with the disease worldwide. MS affects three times as many women as men. There is currently no known cure for MS, however there are a number of treatment options available to help manage symptoms and slow disease progression.

For contender Seann Miley Moore, auditioning for Rita Ora on The Voice’s stage proved to be a full circle moment. “I had no idea she was going to be a coach this year,” the performer tells WHO. “When I found out, I was like ‘This is fate!’” Back in 2015, Moore moved from Sydney to London and two weeks after his arrival, auditioned for British TV series The X Factor. His performance of Queen’s ‘The Show Must Go On’ garnered him four standing ovations from the judges including Rita Ora, who was moved to tears. “That was such a surreal moment,” says 30-year-old Moore. “To then meet up with Ora again six years later has been absolutely incredible.” When they initially met, Ora said she was especially blown away by…

Catherine McClements’ character, Governor Meg Jackson (near right), was killed off in a bloody shock at the end of the first episode, but McClements joined the rest of the cast and crew at a media conference to launch the series in 2013 – keeping her death quiet so the surprise would hit hard. Bea Smith’s (Danielle Cormack) prisoner number, 329460, is the same as the one assigned to the original Bea in Prisoner. Doreen Anderson is one of the few prisoners to have had a happy ending and stay out of jail – mainly because Shareena Clanton (below right), who played her, turned down offers to come back. She felt it was really important to have the character’s journey end positively and with hope. The Wentworth producers bought not one,…

She may have spent her Baywatch days running along the beaches of California in her iconic red one-piece, but Pamela Anderson is officially saying goodbye to the West Coast – having recently sold her Malibu home for a cool $16 million. Having lived in the house for 21 years, Anderson had to say a bittersweet goodbye, made better only by the fact she’s settling down in Vancouver, Canada, with new hubby Dan Hayhurst. “It’s time I went back to my roots,” the star told WHO’s sister publication People of the move back to her home country. “I’m creating my life [in Vancouver] again, where it all started. It’s been a wild ride, now full circle.” Upon her purchase of the property in 2000, the now-54-year-old completely remodelled the home –…

We tend to see giving up as one of the worst things you can do. Winners never quit and quitters never win, right? But, sometimes letting go of something you once desired with all your heart can be the best thing you can do. Psychologist and author of The Loudest Guest, Dr Amy Silver, explains how to give up without feeling like you’ve failed. WHY GIVING UP IS HARD Dr Silver explains that the culture we have grown up in is what guides our thoughts and feelings as we move through life. For many of us, success and ambition are values drilled into us from a young age. “A very common value in our society is to strive for success, to be our best or to be dedicated to our…

Have you ever noticed that your favourite foods can change depending on the time of year? One minute we’re craving comforting soups, while the next we’re hankering for refreshing fruit salads. As temperatures shift, it may be that your body is trying to tell you something about your changing needs. Accredited nutritionist and SunRice ambassador Jacqueline Alwill reveals the foods that will keep you feeling great all year round. WINTER Yep, you guessed it, this is cold and flu season. “Rather than being reactive with your nutrition and health once a cold hits, think about how you can use your diet for prevention of cold and flu instead,” Alwill says.

Malla Nunn didn’t have to look very far for inspiration for her new novel.“The inspiration for Sugar Town Queens comes from moments when I’ve wondered what my life might have been like if my parents had stayed in southern Africa instead of migrating to Australia,”she explains to WHO. “In those ‘What if?’ moments, I imagine a life of poverty but also remember the community of friends and relatives that I grew up in – much like the one in Sugar Town Queens.” The book, about a young teen searching for answers, is a stunning portrait of a divided family and a powerful story of how friendship saves and heals. And Nunn admits her 15-year-old character is the ultimate protagonist.“Amandla, my main character, is on the bridge from girlhood to adulthood…

“What we were gifted with this was forced time together. And because of that, we ended up having a baby” Kit Harington, on having a child with wife Rose Leslie during the pandemic, on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show. “[We] have watched in wonder and pride as our son became our daughter Ruby” Jamie Lee Curtis, on her 25-year-old child transitioning, to AARP The Magazine. “Ten years later.

With almost two decades of marriage under their belts, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder have certainly surpassed Hollywood standards of a long union. And by the looks of their recent Italian holiday, the couple are still just as loved up as when they tied the knot back in 2002. The 53-year-old actress and her cinematographer husband, 52, were spotted packing on the PDA in Positano, Italy, on August 12. Lapping up the sun aboard their luxury yacht, the couple appeared very affectionate as they stopped throughout the day for several sweet embraces. They also decided to add a little thrillseeking to their idyllic European vacation, jumping onto a jetski together to explore the dreamy surrounds of the Italian coast. It was a rare sighting of the pair together, having long…

“I was hitting a stage in my life where I wanted to up the health game”—ANISTON Over the years, Jennifer Aniston has raved about the virtues of everything from barre classes to boxing to keep herself looking fit and fab. But workout trends aside, it’s clear the star’s amazing physique can also be put down to incredible discipline – which was revealed in a recent interview with InStyle when Aniston was asked what she indulges in when she’s stressed. “A chip. Crunch, crunch, crunch,” she divulged – likely much to the annoyance of fans around the world. “I’m good at that. I can have one M&M, one chip. I know, that’s so annoying.” While it’s obviously hard not to feel irritated at the disciplined actress, Aniston’s hard work shouldn’t be…

Their whirlwind courtship had many wondering whether their relationship would stand the test of time. But more than a decade on, Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s spark is still burning bright. The couple tied the knot in December 2010 after being introduced by their agent earlier that year. Although the nuptials were somewhat of a spontaneous decision, Hemsworth, 37, has said it “just felt right”. “There was no great plan to any of it, to be honest,” the Thor star told Good Morning Britain in 2016. “We were on holiday and we said, ‘Why don’t we get married, too?’ … There probably should have been some planning but it all worked out. Honestly, we had both our families on holiday at the same time, just randomly, and we said this…

After more than a year of fighting in court – and a much longer battle behind the scenes – Britney Spears has finally scored herself a win in her ongoing quest for freedom. In a rather abrupt change of tune, the singer’s father Jamie Spears has agreed to relinquish his long-running role overseeing her finances as part of the strict conservatorship that has controlled Britney’s life since 2008. Back in June, the 39-year-old hit out at her father in a court hearing, alleging he had been abusing his power over her for 13 years. “I’m here to get rid of my dad and charge him for conservatorship abuse,” she said. “Instead of trying to investigate my behaviour or my capacity, I want my dad investigated. This conservatorship is literally allowing…

Mila Kunis wants her daughter Wyatt, 6, to believe she can fulfil her dreams, no matter what they are. And at the moment, “my daughter’s in love with space,” says Kunis, 37. “If you asked her what she wants to be when she grows up, she’s going to tell you she wants to be an astronaut chef on the International Space Station.” But recently, Kunis’ husband, Ashton Kutcher, 43, whom she married in 2015, revealed that his wife had nixed his own plans to go to space. Seeing the mixed messaging, Kunis pleaded with her husband. “I was like, ‘You can’t tell Wyatt; she’ll hate me,’” she says, laughing. “Because I’m so encouraging, like, ‘Yeah, baby, you can go to space.’ Meanwhile, to my husband, I’m like, ‘You’re not going…

Having been a couple for more than five years, a wedding was always on the cards for Voice contender Mick Harrington and his partner Bec. But with two young daughters aged 4 and 17 months, Harrington says finding time to propose had been difficult. “Bec fell pregnant with our eldest daughter Bella three months after we got together,” the mowing business owner tells WHO. “Then Katie came along and so we haven’t had time to marry.” The 32-year-old got the idea to propose to Bec – whom he met at high school before they reconnected at their 10-year reunion – a few weeks before his audition. “Bec is super-smart. I knew she’d be distracted by everything going on at The Voice, so it was the only way I could totally…

BEGINNER’S NOTES “When I didn’t win The Apprentice [in 2005] and was broke and baking dairy-free cookies, I learned to stay the course,” says Frankel (ca. 1990). “Success comes with determination.” A REAL HOUSEWIFE WHO KEPT IT REAL “I wasn’t coming on the show like, ‘I’m rich and you’re not,’” says Frankel, with New York City castmates (from left) Ramona Singer, Jill Zarin, Luann de Lesseps and Alex McCord in 2008. “My tiny apartment would never be on the show now.” PAIN OF THE PAST In her 2010 People cover story, Frankel revealed the truth about her difficult childhood, one scarred by neglect and alcohol abuse and violent fights in her family. SKINNYGIRL SENSATION Frankel (in 2011) struck gold with her low-calorie Skinnygirl cocktail line and built an empire that…

Jane Blasio was 6 years old the day she learned she was adopted. She and her older sister Michelle, 11, had been taunted on the playground of their Akron school by classmates who called them “black-market babies”, adding, “you were both bought”. When Michelle told their parents, the girls’ dad, James, sat them down and said, “We have something to tell you …” Their mother, Joan, continued: “You two were adopted. Do you know what that means?” Blasio admits she had “no clue” what her parents were talking about. “Michelle was crying,” she says, “and I just wanted to escape to play in the backyard.” Yet what she learned that day – and what remained unsaid – would change the course of Jane’s life forever. In 1988, sensing that her…

“Now with the Norvina brand, we’ve expanded into colour in a new and exciting way, creating a home for artists who want to create their boldest looks yet,”says Soare. What got you into the beauty world in the first place? I always had an interest in beauty, but I got a job as an aesthetician out of necessity. I was an immigrant, and it was work I could do without needing to speak the language. While working, I noticed a glaring gap in the market – no-one was paying attention to their eyebrows. I had this stroke of inspiration that maybe the same golden ratio I learned about in art school could be applied to shaping brows, bringing balance and proportion to my clients’ faces. The concept took off. Why…

After six years of working in the glamorous yachting industry, where wealthy clients demand and receive only the best of everything, New Zealand-born beauty Katie Flood doesn’t think there is a request left that could leave her surprised anymore. “It all seems pretty normal to me now,” the 29-year-old, who joined the cast of Below Deck Mediterranean in 2021, tells WHO. “There was this one time we were cruising in the South of France and a guest wanted a specific type of caviar that had to be flown in by private charter from Russia. A few years ago I would have thought that was pretty outrageous, but it’s all part of the job,” she adds. Do you think Below Deck is a good example of what really goes on in…

Last dance party I was able to go away with some girlfriends during COVID. We all got tested and did a little birthday getaway to Lake Arrowhead and had a mini dance party in the kitchen, just the four of us. It was a small dose of normal. Last moment of pride I just sent my children [Felix, 10, and Magnus, 8] to a sleepover summer camp for the first time, and it was very emotional. It’s also the last time I cried, so you get a double whammy here. But I was very proud of them for being brave enough to go on their own. Last romantic getaway My husband [producer Max Handelman] and I went to a castle in Ireland and tried falconry, which I’d never done. It’s…
