A close friend of mine told me that 33 is my“Jesus Year” – a time of change. Now, after 11 years in this building, I am taking a very scary and exciting leap to another industry, and this will sadly be my last editor’s letter. Magazines don’t exist without our loyal readers and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support for this brand over the years. Speaking of new beginnings, Britney Spears is finally free! The star was officially released from her restrictive conservatorship and with that came an eruption of celebrations from fans around the world. To find out what’s next for Spears, go to page 14. It’s also a new chapter for Paris Hilton after she said“I do” with her beau…

It was the news that Britney Spears and hundreds of thousands of fans had been waiting for. On November 12, Judge Brenda Penny finally ended the singer’s 13-year ordeal with immediate effect – giving the hitmaker control of her life for the first time since 2008. “As of today, the conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Spears is hereby terminated,” Penny concluded. “This is life-changing for her” - OLIVAS Celebrations quickly erupted outside the courthouse, with fans popping pink confetti and dancing along to Britney’s hit song ‘Stronger’. For many, campaigning to end the singer’s conservatorship had become more than just a pastime – with some coordinating rallies and travelling across the country to attend demonstrations. “All the hard work, the sacrifice and calling off work. It’s…

As her character on Home and Away deals with a confronting health dilemma, actress Georgie Parker admits that due to a health issue of her own, she ensures that exercise is a non-negotiable  priority in her busy schedule. “I have to look after my back as I have scoliosis so I swim a lot. I go to the gym and I do hardcore Pilates. Doing all that keeps me well, balanced and sane,” Parker, 56, tells WHO. “Health is a huge priority for me.” Ahead of Home and Away’s finale episodes for the year, Parker tells WHO all about her character’s difficult choice, what her plans are regarding staying on the show and how she and her family have become closer than ever in the past year. How did you…

Between them, Brisbane-based sisters Cate and Bronte Campbell boast six gold, one silver and four bronze Olympic medals. While having one person in the family with so much athletic ability is pretty rare, two is miraculous.  Today, Cate, 29, and Bronte, 27, don’t think they would’ve reached such dizzying heights of success without each other. “I think we both believe that we wouldn’t be the athletes we are today without the other one,” Bronte tells WHO. “At times in my life, I’ve been the second-fastest swimmer in the world, but also just the second-fastest in my family. While there were times that were really hard, if I didn’t have Cate to push myself against and guide me, I don’t even know if I’d have been in the pool at all!”…

When Annalei Warren thinks back to whether there were any warning signs to her shock ovarian cancer diagnosis last year, she admits that she put a few niggling symptoms down to the possibility of being pregnant. Having been trying for a baby with her husband Stewart for 18 months, the 33-year-old was bloated, nauseous and didn’t feel well in the few months beforehand. “Ovarian cancer is so subtle and sneaky”-ANNALEI “I can honestly say that I did not notice a big change in my body,” she tells WHO. “They were so gradual that I thought everything could be put down to another factor of my life … ovarian cancer is so subtle and sneaky.” The same weekend Melbourne was plunged into lockdown in July last year, Annalei was rushed to…

For many of us, this year was defined by being confined to our homes, which made socialising with friends and family challenging. Some turned to Zoom to fill the void, others looked over their fence and found companionship and solace with their neighbours. “Pandemic lockdowns have probably deepened our bonds with neighbours,” says Damien Cave, author of Into the Rip: How the Australian Way of Risk Made My Family Stronger, Happier and Less American. “Those little moments of interaction that we barely noticed before have become the tasty morsels of social connection and community that keeps us going.” It turns out there is science that backs up this theory. The Australia Talks National Survey 2021 found that the COVID-19 lockdowns we experienced last year allowed people in the ACT and…

With summer just around the corner, it’s time to take advantage of the many delicious and healthy eats that are now in season. But some foods can also help with common ailments like bloating and fatigue, which can be all too familiar at this time of year. Add these foods to your diet to look and feel your best! FOR HYDRATION Did you know that up to 20 per cent of our fluid intake comes from food? While it’s essential to drink plenty of water through the day to be adequately hydrated, you can also give yourself a head start with foods that have a high water content like strawberries, lettuce, celery, cucumbers and watermelon (which is 92 per cent water). Nurse and naturopath Madeline Calfas from The Wellness Group…

He is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, with blockbuster hits including Wonder Woman, The Notebook and X-Men under his belt. But when it comes to choosing his film roles, there are really only three critics that James Marsden cares about – his sons Jack, 20, and William, 8, and 16-year-old daughter Mary. However, it turns out the trio are some of Tinseltown’s harshest judges. “What kids are the best at is keeping you grounded and humbled,” the 48-year-old actor tells WHO over Zoom from his home in LA. “They’re just like, ‘Oh, so you’re a big movie star? Who cares!’ I’m sure my kids are proud of what I’ve done, but they are wonderfully underwhelmed by my success in life,” he adds with a laugh. In The Boss Baby: Family…

Last me-time I try to do yoga every day when I’m home – the push-ups kind. It really affects my mind, body and spirit. I’ve got a couple of poses where people would think, “Oh my God, I can’t believe she’s doing that.” Last time I missed someone I’m in Wales and miss all three of my children on this trip, but for some reason I’ve been yearning for my son [Justin]. I’m in the country with a lot of animals and a beautiful golf course. He would have so much fun seeing this. Last time I was starstruck I got to be interviewed by [novelist] Anne Lamott. I’ve been a huge fan for so long, and it’s slightly humiliating, but I cried through it. It was just the sound…

“We’ve never given up” - FULLER It’s been over seven years since William Tyrrell vanished without a trace from his foster grandmother’s home in Kendall, NSW. The 3-year-old boy, on a road trip from Sydney to the NSW Mid North Coast with his foster parents, was last seen wearing a Spider-Man suit and playing in the yard with his 5-year-old sister. Since then, there have been more than 3000 calls to Crime Stoppers NSW, more than 600 persons of interest interviewed and the offer of a $1 million reward, but the mystery has devastatingly remained unsolved. On November 15, police announced a new major operation and a “high-intensity” search that is grounded in a case breakthrough. “This activity is in response to evidence we’ve obtained in the course of the…

Most of us don’t give much thought to our knees until something goes wrong. But if you’ve ever hurt this crucial bit of anatomy you’ll know how painful it can be. It turns out that’s a lot of us – in fact, around 55 per cent of sports injuries happen to our knees. “Knee pain and injuries are incredibly common and affect people of all ages,” sports therapist Simonne Reynolds says. WHY DOES IT HAPPEN? “Our knees undergo large loads on a daily basis, which increases with running and jumping,” Reynolds explains. “There are many types of pain, with many different causes.” While some injuries such as ligament tears occur suddenly, others can happen as a result of long-time wear and tear. As we grow older we run the risk…

Marsden’s Dead to Me co-star Christina Applegate shocked the world in August when she announced on Twitter that she had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. While she has stayed quiet since sharing the news, Marsden reveals she is doing just fine as she adjusts to living with the autoimmune disease. “Christina is going really great. She is keeping her spirits up and has a lot of support from people who have been through it,” he says. “She’s an absolute warrior and while it’s a lot to process, she is taking it day by day and will fight it tooth and nail,” he adds. Symptoms of MS can include pain, vision loss and impaired coordination. Applegate survived breast cancer in 2008.…

DEATH Coronji Calhoun, most notable for his only on-screen appearance as the overweight son of Halle Berry in 2001’s Monster’s Ball, has died. He was 30 years old.

Paris Hilton was still basking in her post-wedding glow the day after she exchanged ‘I dos’ with venture capitalist Carter Reum. “I finally got to kiss my prince and begin the happily ever after I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl,” she blogged on her website. “It was a true fairytale wedding.” The extravaganza peaked on November 11 with a star-studded soirée held at the former Bel-Air estate of her late grandfather Barron Hilton, which sold in May to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt for $83.5 million.

WHAT IS IT: The bike everyone’s talking about THE VERDICT: "When I first heard Peloton was coming to Australia I was ecstatic. I’d heard such great things and I’m also a huge spin fan. The bike itself is absolutely amazing. It has so many classes at your fingertips, great sound and screen quality, plus the ability to switch on cruise control to let the instructor take charge of your bike. You can also add Peloton friends through the app to track progress. The app is an extra $16 per month, but it’s a great deal for all the classes you get including HIIT, yoga and Pilates. The initial expense does seem daunting, but that cost becomes smaller over time – especially if shared with your partner or family!" Cost: Starts…

Claudia Karvan admits that when it comes to reading, she has a “voracious appetite”. So when she was offered the opportunity to travel and meet the authors behind some of Australia’s best-loved novels in ABC TV show Books that Made Us, it was a “very easy yes”.

So the 53-year-old took to writing up her first tome’s perfect companion, More Rules for Life – a specific set for a pandemic-riddled world. “I think we’re living in a time where common courtesy and common sense have become a lot less common,”Flanagan tells WHO.“My rules are not really rules but rather hints on how we can all be a little more considerate of others.” While she admits to getting “truly pernickety” in the book – take the lettuce off the sandwich before toasting it, don’t make eye contact with someone while eating a banana, scan the QR code and step aside to fill out the…
