If blood and guts isn’t your thing and you’ve missed the crazy antics of Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin, then we’ve got news for you!

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin might have paved the way with their “conscious uncoupling”, but Drew Barrymore is showing the world how to make co-parenting cool. The 46-year-old recently opened up about her relationship with ex-husband Will Kopelman, admitting the pair are still on great terms for the sake of their daughters Olive, 9, and Frankie, 7. “I think Will and I did a kickass job of putting our kids first and showing solidarity. I’m super-close with his family,” she revealed in a chat with actor Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expert podcast. “We still do holidays. I still stay at their house. I was like,‘The divorce is going to happen, but nothing’s going to change.’ And everyone just got on board and we did. And it’s a testament to…

After two years filled with drama, scandal and tragedy, the British royal family has never been more in need of a little bit of distracting star power. And on September 28, Kate Middleton provided just that while attending the long-awaited premiere of the new James Bond film, No Time to Die, in London. The Duchess of Cambridge looked resplendent in a glittering gold cape-style gown by British designer Jenny Packham as she walked the red carpet at Royal Albert Hall alongside husband Prince William, both 39. The glamorous outfit worn by the mum-of-three left many royal watchers declaring it was Kate’s “best look ever”. “This is what a future queen looks like,” one social media user perfectly summed it up. Despite A-list celebrities also lining up to attend the star-studded…

Since they first sparked romance rumours in December 2019, Liam Hemsworth and his model girlfriend Gabriella Brooks have kept their relationship intentionally private, laying low while spending quality time together in Byron Bay. They first went (sort of ) Instagram official when they were snapped side by side at Liam’s brother Luke Hemsworth’s 40th birthday in November 2020. They stepped even closer to the spotlight in June when they dolled up for their first official outing as a couple, attending the fundraising Gold Dinner in Sydney alongside Liam’s older brother, Chris Hemsworth, his wife Elsa Pataky and Matt Damon’s wife Luciana. “Liam looks up to his brothers and would love to one day also have that long-lasting marriage,” a source tells Us Weekly. “He’s ready to be a husband —…

Britney Spears is a step closer to freedom after Judge Brenda Penny suspended Jamie Spears as the conservator of his daughter’s estate and appointed John Zabel as his temporary successor. The ruling came days after a new documentary from the New York Times claimed that Jamie was responsible for illegally bugging his daughter’s home and phones to monitor her private conversations. Handing down her decision on September 29, Penny said that it’s “in the best interest of the conservatee, which is my goal”. Britney’s attorney Mathew Rosengart addressed a crowd outside the courtroom after Penny’s decision came down, calling it “a great day for justice”. Jamie, on the other hand, called the decision “disappointing, and frankly, a loss for Britney” in a statement.…

Despite being a passionate cook, Collette Dinnigan wasn’t keen at all when she was approached to star in Celebrity MasterChef. “Truth be told, I said no more than a few times,” the 56-year-old tells WHO. While it took some convincing, Dinnigan says she’s glad she took the dive. “I think the pandemic has taught us all that sometimes opportunities present themselves that are out of left field,” she shares. “I’m really happy to have pushed myself outside my comfort zone and accepted this challenge!” As for Dinnigan’s perfect meal, the Aussie fashion designer says it’s all down to a good drop, fresh produce and some special people to share it with. “A glass of Australian or New Zealand pinot noir, fresh bread with extra virgin olive oil, garden salad with…

Running from October 10-16, National Carers Week is a time to recognise and celebrate the 2.65 million Australians who provide over 2.2 billion hours of unpaid care a year – that’s over 42 million hours every single week! “Many of us have given up careers and life plans in order to see another person is cared for,” explains Idell. And despite it being a “24/7 role with no sick leave, holidays or superannuation”, Idell says many couldn’t imagine it any other way.“Thanks to carers and the work that we do, our vulnerable have an advocate and in general a much better quality of life,” she adds.…

SHARI NEMENTZIK, EDITOR I joined a wine club in the Hunter Valley, Thomas Allen wines, during a weekend trip there a few years ago and it’s become a Friday night treat to pop a bottle of their sparkling red – aptly named The Boss. It’s fruity and fun and best served icy cold with some camembert and crackers – ideal for those virtual trivia nights with friends. Now the weather is warming up, I’ve started making frozen margaritas. I use Casamigos Reposado Tequila (two standard shot glasses), Continental Triple Sec (one shot), the juice of three limes and a tablespoon of sugar syrup (if that’s too tart, just add a dash more). I blend it all with a large handful of ice and serve. I also dance to ‘Despacito’ while…

She’s appeared on screens at 11am in New South Wales for the better part of four months, but on October 1, Gladys Berejiklian stepped up to front the state for a very different announcement. “It pains me to announce that I have no option but to resign the office of premier,” the 51-year-old said in an impromptu press conference. During her emotional speech, Berejiklian revealed that she would also resign from parliament altogether, allowing “a fresh start”. It follows the news that the Independent Commission Against Corruption had decided to further investigate serious allegations that she had breached public trust. Over the past year, questions have hung over Berejiklian’s relationship with former Liberal MP Daryl Maguire – who resigned in disgrace back in 2018 – with whom she had a…

Prince Charles usually presents a stiff upper lip when he makes a public appearance. But the heir to the throne couldn’t help showing off how proud he is of his daughter-in-law when the Cambridges joined him and the Duchess of Cornwall, 74, at the premiere of No Time to Die. After meeting each other on the red carpet, Charles and Kate flashed megawatt smiles as they embraced each other. Charles then tenderly kissed the duchess on her cheek as the pair appeared to enjoy a private joke. “[Charles and Kate’s bond] has been growing into a very close and rather tight relationship in terms of Charles’ habit of appearing to single Kate out for attention and shared laughter while Camilla and William will often retreat to watch,” body language expert…

Since splitting with Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus has had high-profile romances with Kaitlynn Carter, 33, and Cody Simpson, 24, but she has also spoken fondly of her time spent with Hemsworth. In May, the 28-year-old singer marked the fourth anniversary of her song ‘Malibu’ with a heartfelt Instagram post about her ex, calling it, “A song about a place and person that at the time I loved very much.” While Hemsworth has remained mum on the subject, he’s not worried about Cyrus talking about their past. “Liam was very hurt when they initially broke up, but he has moved on now and is happy with Gabriella,” a source has told Entertainment Tonight.…

After travelling a long and difficult road to fall pregnant, Gillies says she and husband Ben can’t wait to meet their babies. “Ben has gone fully into research mode,” she shares. “He’s like, ‘Jacks! This is the best breast pump, we have to get it!’ He’s reading up on everything!” But with the candour that she’s known for, Gillies admits the pregnancy hasn’t been easy. “It’s been interesting. So many women say to me ‘pregnancy is amazing’, but for me, it hasn’t been that amazing. It’s been a real struggle actually.” But with just a few weeks to go until she meets her babies, Gillies says it’s all been worth it – even when sciatica reduced her to tears. “It was so bad, I had to wear flats while filming…

In the early ’90s, Ghislaine Maxwell lived the high life as a socialite “with a ticket into the hottest parties in town”. She spent the next few decades travelling the world as the lover and confidante of Jeffrey Epstein, mixing with celebrities, presidents and royals. But it all came to an abrupt end when Maxwell, 59, was arrested by the FBI on July 2, 2020, for allegedly sex trafficking minors. Today, the so-called “madam” of the late Epstein’s paedophile ring remains in prison awaiting trial, after being accused of spending a decade allegedly luring girls as young as 14 to be abused by Epstein. What drove the popular, wealthy, Oxford-educated businesswoman to go to such extreme lengths to please her former lover is the question everyone asks today. To understand…

Has the state of the environment got you feeling helpless? You’re not alone. In early August a report was released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), detailing the devastating impact humans have had on the planet. It found global climate change is rapidly intensifying, along with its effects including floods, droughts and cyclones. Some effects (such as rising sea levels) are irreversible, at least for the next few centuries. “It has been clear for decades that the earth’s climate is changing, and the role of human influence on the climate system is undisputed,” said IPCC Working Group I co-chair Valérie Masson-Delmotte. “Stabilising the climate will require strong, rapid and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and reaching net zero CO2 emissions,” her co-chair Panmao Zhai stated. For many,…

There’s no doubt eating well can have a huge impact on our health, but it’s easy to be confused and overwhelmed by all the information out there. British surgeon and Willing to be Wrong podcaster Dr Joshua Wolrich is on a mission to sort fact from fiction. He’s not afraid to take on famous figures and even got caught in a very public Instagram stoush with pop star Justin Bieber last year. “I was challenging him on his insinuation that you could cure mental health disorders through diet,” Dr Wolrich explains. “It certainly led to an interesting back and forth in our private messages.” Here, the Food Isn’t Medicine author covers everything from body shaming to why he doesn’t believe in BMIs.

The journalist and author brings her insights into how the fashion world works, in her own hilarious way, in her new book, Why Did I Buy That?, and helps readers navigate it with their own style.“None of us want to make costly mistakes, and we’re all susceptible to impulse buys that ultimately don’t suit us,”she tells WHO. While Clements may have bought an It bag purchase or two and recalls purchasing“an orange leather midi skirt one size too big”while jet-lagged – “I can’t tell you how terrible it made me look,”she says – her fashion fails have only helped turn her into the style maven she is today.

It seems a case of out with the old and in with the new for the Parliament of NSW. Just days after Berejiklian’s resignation, Deputy Premier John Barilaro confirmed he was also following the former premier out the door. Barilaro said it felt right to leave to give NSW a fresh start with two new leaders, although he admitted they had “big shoes to fill”. NSW’s Treasurer Dominic Perrottet was quickly dubbed the premier’s successor in a meeting on October 5 after a weekend of political jostling, with the Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney, Stuart Ayres, given the deputy role.…

We fell in love with him in the noughties as he played angsty writer Evan in The Secret Life of Us. But no amount of on-screen drama could help prepare Samuel Johnson for the fight of his life. The actor and philanthropist, 43, opened up about the horrific car accident that left him with traumatic head injuries while appearing on The Project on October 4. Johnson spoke candidly about his ordeal, admitting his family were “told to prepare for the worst” as he “wasn’t expected to survive” the crash. Johnson had been on the way to visit family early in the morning on June 19 when he was struck by a car. The next thing the Gold Logie winner remembers is waking up in hospital “a few weeks later”. “I…

Ever since Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III in 1956, Monaco has had no shortage of A-list stars visit its shores. It appears that Prince Albert II has also inherited his dad’s penchant for cool Hollywood blondes. When the prince, 63, needed a date to accompany him to the 2021 Monte-Carlo Gala for Planetary Health on September 23, he found the perfect solution by calling up his old pal, Sharon Stone. The Basic Instinct actress, 63, oozed old-school Tinseltown glamour in a lilac gown with an elaborate train as she stepped out arm in arm with the royal. During the event, Albert presented Stone with a Lifetime Achievement Award for her “remarkable commitment to women’s empowerment, her outstanding work in medical research and her tireless efforts to help change the…

On September 25, Amanda Bynes was spotted enjoying a day out in Los Angeles with her fiancé Paul Michael. It was a rare sighting of the former It girl of the early 2000s, and fans took note of her new tattoos – a Playboy bunny on her leg and rose on her arm. They also spied bling on her ring finger that appeared different from the eight-carat emerald cut diamond Michael proposed in February 2020. Michael also wore a band on his ring finger, and while social media speculated about whether the couple had quietly tied the knot, what’s clear is that after years of turmoil, Bynes has finally achieved a sense of new-found peace in her low-key life. “Amanda is doing great,” her lawyer David A Esquibias told WHO’s…

Brosnan spent 17 years with his first wife, Australian actress Cassandra Harris, before she sadly passed away from ovarian cancer in 1991 at the age of 43. “When your partner gets cancer, then life changes. Your timetable and reference for your normal routines and the way you view life, all this changes,” Brosnan told Cigar Aficionado magazine. “It was and is a terrible loss, and I see it reflected, from time to time, in my children.” Sadly, the actor would go on to watch Harris’ daughter Charlotte, whom he adopted in 1986, battle the same disease. Tragically, she was the third generation of females in her family to succumb to ovarian cancer after she lost her mum and grandmother. “Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humility, courage and dignity,”…

There’s something to be said about sheer honesty when Matt Le Nevez is asked what his skill level in the kitchen was like before heading onto the set of Celebrity MasterChef earlier this year.“Pre-show, I’d say a two out of 10,” the former Offspring star admits when he chatted to WHO from his home in Los Angeles recently. “Like, I knew how to boil water [laughs] – it’s pretty hard to burn water!” With a love of food stemming from his travels, the 42-year-old was excited to get amongst the action and learn some new skills during his time on the show. Although he admits it was a tad more serious than he had envisioned.“As soon as we got into day one, it was like,‘Holy s--t, this is not a…

It’s in with the new and out with the old for Kelly Clarkson! Just months after purchasing a new home in Los Angeles back in June, the singer, 39, has finally sold the custom-designed farmhouse she built with ex Brandon Blackstock, 44. The eight-bedroom pad in Encino, California, was bought by the pair back in 2018, but after filing for divorce last year, it’s time to say goodbye. Featuring unique wood panels on the exterior, the home has a barn-like feel to it. But inside the pad it’s anything but, with luxe finishes and interiors making the mansion fit for a celebrity. Open-plan living allows those preparing food in the huge kitchen to chat with others in the casual dining and adjoining living areas. And the formal sitting area is…

For Sophie Monk, returning to host the third season of Love Island Australia was a no-brainer. “I love the fact that every age group can relate to this show,” Monk, 41, tells WHO. “Everyone knows what it’s like to experience young love and for it to feel like your new relationship is the centre of your universe. It doesn’t matter if you’re 80, you can remember those feelings.” Monk fronted the first two seasons of the show, which filmed in Spain in 2018 and Fiji in 2019.

I would just put my mask on to answer for room service. Last thing I do before I go onstage I pee. I’m always nervous. Usually the thing that calms me down is I focus on my son [Walker, 12] and singing [a] particular song to him instead of worrying about outside noise. Last time my son made me laugh I was asking him about new words I learned recently that the young people say. And he forbid me to say them. I’m not allowed to say “That’s fire” or “That’s drippy”. Drip? I…
