I kind of feel like I’ve grown up with our cover star Drew Barrymore – from crying all the tears way back in her ET days to loving her wild child antics in the ’90s to now, where she’s a total boss when it comes to her career and business. That she’s had the same rock-solid group of Hollywood girlfriends for years is also a big tick in my book. So I wasn’t surprised when she, with her trademark honesty, opened up in detail about her personal struggles with her mental wellbeing and body image and how she overcame at least some of those issues by learning to be kinder to herself. Read her journey to self-acceptance on page 18. When it comes to action movies, the guys have usually…

It all began when tennis star Novak Djokovic announced via Twitter that he was jetting to Oz to compete in the Australian Open. What resulted was hotel detention, a High Court battle and violent protests. Why? Because the unapologetic anti-vaxxer managed to slip through the cracks when entering the country, which has strict no-jab, no-entry rules. On January 10, the High Court ruled the Serbian player was free to leave detention from the hotel he had been staying at, which is used to house people applying for refugee status, but now it’s up to Tennis Australia to decide whether the 34-year-old can play in the grand slam tournament. “I’m pleased and grateful that the Judge overturned my visa cancellation. Despite all that has happened, I want to stay and try…

January 8 marked two years since his love for his wife, Meghan Markle, prompted Prince Harry to make the shock announcement that he was walking away from his royal life. And as the life-changing anniversary passes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are finally realising that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. After splashing out $20 million to buy their nine-bedroom “dream home” in July 2020, the pair are already looking to sell their Montecito mansion. Harry and Meghan “aren’t over the moon about the house or the location”, a source close to the Sussexes told British newspaper The Mirror. “They aren’t over the moon about the house”- SOURCE After growing up in front of the camera, Harry, 37, has made it clear that he wants son…

She’s a self-confessed“Diehard, OG fan”of Keeping Up With the Kardashians – and now little-known actress Julia Fox is literally living the life of its most famous star. Fox and Ye are just a few short weeks into their romance, but on their second date she live-streamed the“Cinderella moment”with Interview magazine – where he gave her a complete style makeover, à la Kim Kardashian on Season 7 of the reality show, circa 2012.“I met Ye in Miami on New Year’s Eve and it was an instant connection,”she told the publication.“We decided to keep the energy going and fly back to New York City … I was impressed. Ye had an entire hotel suite full of clothes. It was every girl’s dream come true.”…

When she agreed to star on Season 8 of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! to raise awareness and funds for LGBTQIA+ youth charity Minus18, Maria Thattil had no intention of bringing up her own sexual preferences. But after spending some time in the jungle, the Miss Universe Australia winner, who has been a champion for inclusivity and diversity since she was crowned in Melbourne in October 2020, realised that by not sharing she was bisexual, she wasn’t being true to herself. Thattil revealed her sexual orientation in an emotional chat with campmate David Subritzky during an episode on January 12. “I was on this show, talking about this charity and it didn’t feel right because I knew I wasn’t being honest with myself,” the 28-year-old model and…

The micro skirt was prolific at the latest Paris Fashion Week but it’s length would scare anyone off. It did, however, cement the case for above-the-knee skirts in general, which has been on hiatus for a while after the saturation of floaty midi skirts in recent times. But after many runway shows, and several celebrities and street-style influencers showing off their pins, it might be worth giving it a go. After all, the mini was a sign of female emancipation in the ’60s, and so let it be our freedom piece as we head back to normality in 2022. And for those with the “you need good legs” argument? Nonsense! Just do the flash test to ensure it hits mid-thigh or lower. Here are some modest options to get you…

ARIES MAR. 20-APR. 18 Fortunately, you’re not one to stay down for long. Your astrology reminds me of a fortune cookie I once got that said, “The sooner you fall behind, the longer you have to catch up.” You might feel a loss in direction or motivation, especially at work or with your personal goals. This false start is setting you up for something better. TAURUS APR. 19-MAY 20 Knowing yourself is the key to all problems. Understanding the intentions of others can be difficult until you’re in touch with your own. You’re in a process of questioning what is most valuable to you. True to form, this isn’t a time for you to rush ahead with things. The longer you ponder, the closer to the truth you’ll get. GEMINI…

When it comes to official portraits of Kate Middleton, we’ve gotten used to seeing the laid-back mum-of-three dressed in country casuals while at home in Norfolk. So royal watchers were left stunned – and delighted – when a series of three glamorous new images were released to mark the Duchess of Cambridge’s 40th birthday on January 9. Taken by photographer Paolo Roversi at Kew Gardens in November, the duchess called upon Sarah Burton from British fashion house Alexander McQueen to dress her in a fun red dress with pockets and two light-coloured ethereal gowns. Kate also wore earrings that belong to the Queen and others that she inherited from her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. Roversi revealed Kate showed him Pre-Raphaelite images and photos taken by Lewis Carroll as inspiration for…

After tying the knot with Benji Madden on January 5, 2015, Cameron Diaz virtually disappeared from the spotlight overnight. But the quiet life certainly seems to agree with the former actress after the cute couple shared loving tributes to each other on their seventh wedding anniversary. Showing no signs of a seven-year itch, rocker Madden, 42, admitted he felt like they were still as happy as honeymooners. “Calling it a Honeymoon doesn’t cover it. Real life,” the musician posted on social media. “The only real challenge we have is making time go slower cause life goes by fast in the happy lane, Always and forever knowing we are home,” he added. “I [heart emoji] you more and more every day,” the Charlie’s Angels star, 49, replied. “Happy, peaceful, consistent, loyal…

Scandal has plagued Shane Warne’s incredible cricket career and beyond – and now the 52-year-old sporting icon is opening up about the“lowest point”of his life, ahead of his upcoming Amazon documentary Shane. In 2005, Warne’s wife Simone filed for divorce after the Aussie spin king’s string of infidelities. She packed up their kids Jackson, Summer and Brooke and left the UK where Warne was in the midst of an Ashes series.“To have the Barmy Army for six hours a day … singing,‘Where’s your missus gone?’”Warne admitted in an emotional confession on Fox Cricket.“Getting divorced was a difficult time in my life and for my children,”he recalled, visibly devastated, even to this day. But Warne admitted his focus wasn’t on his heartbroken wife.“I’m sitting there worrying about my children, that I…

If Giuffre’s civil suit goes to court, Meghan is unlikely to be the only member of the royal family who may be called on to give evidence in the case. It’s also highly likely that Princess Beatrice, 33, will be called as a witness. In a 2019 interview with the BBC, Andrew, 61, said he was with his eldest daughter one of the evenings Giuffre claims he sexually assaulted her. “I’d taken Beatrice to a Pizza Express in Woking for a party at I suppose four or five in the afternoon,” Andrew said. “And then because the duchess [Sarah Ferguson] was away, we have a simple rule in the family that when one is away the other is there,” he explained. As WHO went to print, a New York judge…

After shedding 9kg in 2020, Drew Barrymore was celebrating being “her best self”. But after letting her diet and exercise regimen slide a bit over the busy festive period, the star, 46, is vowing to no longer be so hard on herself if the number on her scales creeps up. Admitting she’d gained a couple of kilos, Barrymore chose to start her year gently rather than make grand declarations of hitting the gym or giving up chocolate. In fact, the former actress has decided the only real thing she needs to change is her attitude! On December 29, the busy mum-of-two and talk show host shared an inspiring snap of a scale on Instagram. “Say something kind to yourself,” a post-it note in the image read, alongside a little heart.…

Lindsey Buckingham has always been a loner, which helped make adjusting to lockdown life a cinch when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March of 2020. “I can’t say it was so hard for me,” the former Fleetwood Mac singer and guitarist says over Zoom from his hotel room in Pittsburgh during a stop on his current world tour. “I have a pretty well-developed inner life, so I relied on that.” But just months after stepping away from the stage and recording studio, Buckingham, 72, had to confront deep cracks in his marriage. “A lot of people’s relationships were tested by the lockdown. I think my wife had a bit of a harder time with it,” he says of Kristen Messner, 51, an interior designer and photographer he married in 2000.…

The hotel staff was starting to clean up the ballroom after a 2016 political fundraiser in Sarasota, Florida, when Ashley Byers and Dani Everette began chatting about what they wanted in a partner. “She said she was trying to network with men who could help her start her own ballet company,” remembers Dani, 30, a friend and business consultant. “I told her that I was looking for a man who was tall, dark and handsome, and she just smiled and said, ‘I don’t care about that. All I need is someone rich.’” Several months later at yet another political fundraiser, this one at the Palm Beach mansion of former presidential candidate Ben Carson, Ashley, 24, seemed to find exactly that. While Doug Benefield wasn’t mega-rich, the 54-year-old navy veteran and…

Saying sorry is rarely a fun occasion. But we’ve all been there. You mess-up, you express remorse, rectify the situation and usually that’s enough for both parties to move forward. But sometimes it’s not as simple as that. Sometimes the mess-up is too great, or the remorse is nowhere to be found. So what do you do in those situations? We spoke to Lisa Stephenson, founder of The Coach Place, about sincere apologies. WHAT MAKES A GOOD APOLOGY? If you don’t mean it, don’t say it. “Authenticity and vulnerability are non-negotiables if you’re going to say those two words, ‘I’m sorry’, as they have the power to make almost everything better,” says Stephenson. It’s also essential that you acknowledge not only the situation, but also the behaviour that you’re apologising…

It’s hard to believe that 2022 marks 30 years since Baz Luhrmann’s hit film Strictly Ballroom was released. And three decades later, leading lady Tara Morice is dusting off her dancing shoes for another spin – but this time she’ll be doing it live. The Aussie star, who we fell in love with as the loveable yet frumpy Fran who dreams of being a ballroom champ, can be seen on stage in The Deb in Sydney during February and March. “It’s a musical so I’ll be singing and dancing – and yes, I’m still dancing,” the actress, 57, tells WHO. “I still really love it, but find I don’t pick up the choreography as quickly now as I did in the ’90s,” she explains with a laugh. Fran was your…

They once sang ‘When Will I Be Famous’ but when they became the most idolised boy band in the world in the late ’80s, twins Matt and Luke Goss, who formed Bros, found that adulation came with a huge price to pay. In 2018, their documentary After The Screaming Stops was released to huge acclaim. It provided an unflinching look at the incredible highs they achieved as a band. Their debut album Push sold more than 10 million copies and they had No. 1 hits in more than 20 countries around the world. But the brothers experienced devastating lows, too, at the height of their fame, including when their sister Carolyn tragically died in a car accident. Now the film is getting a run on Australian TV. After a long…

Last time I sang out loud Last night when I was putting my son [Max] to bed. It was a song called ‘Here I’ll Stay’. He tolerates it. Maybe he likes it. He’s [almost] 11 – it’s hard to tell. Last time my pet made me laugh My cat Aurora attacks my wife [Christine Marinoni] when she’s hungry.

Hours before being found unresponsive in his Florida hotel room and pronounced dead at the scene, Bob Saget, best known for playing Danny Tanner on Full House and more recently its Netflix reboot Fuller House, took to social media to express how thrilled he was with his professional path. “I had no idea I did a two hour set tonight. I’m back in comedy like I was when I was 26,” the 65-year-old posted on Instagram, prompting fans to check his website for forthcoming dates on his comedy outing, I Don’t Do Negative Tour.“I guess I’m finding my new voice and loving every moment of it.

Hollywood icon Sidney Poitier has died at the age of 94 on January 6. The actor passed away at his LA home surrounded by loved ones. Poitier had an on-screen career that spanned six decades after he made his film debut in 1950’s No Way Out. He is best loved for his performances in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner and To Sir, with Love, which examined racism. Poitier became the first Black man to win the Best Actor Oscar in 1963’s Lilies of the Field. He would remain the only one until Denzel Washington took home the gong in 2002 for Training Day. In 2000, Poitier told talk show host Oprah Winfrey he felt an “enormous responsibility” after the big win. “I accepted it, and I lived in a way…

Few people are more in control of their image than Kim Kardashian. When she makes a move, people notice, and eagle-eyed fans quickly noted when she clicked to unfollow fellow A-lister Miley Cyrus on Instagram.

In all the roles he’s played during his more-than-30-year movie and TV career, none was more stressful for Will Smith than portraying tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams’ father, Richard. But the chance to portray the driven, devoted and complicated tennis dad in King Richard was too good an opportunity for Smith, 53, to pass up. “With where I am in my life, I felt more prepared than ever to honour and explore this man and this family,” he says of the role. Smith’s portrayal of Williams is already generating Oscars buzz. Here the much-loved actor, who’s also starred in Men in Black, Independence Day and Ali, opens up about this demanding new role and what he’s learned along the way … You’ve played real-life characters before, but was there…

MAKING A SPLASH! After an impact-making comeback during fashion week last year, Rebecca Vallance is growing her resort collection with the addition of swimwear. The debut collection is inspired by vibrant Mediterranean culture, with modern takes on the renaissance period of art for the prints and strong ’60s shapes for the silhouettes throughout.

1.THE CROCHET CRAZE It’s everywhere! Not just crochet bikinis but dresses, tops and even shoes resembling the familiar texture. It’s the ultimate trend to try while the weather is balmy. 2. EVERYTHING ECRU Bold citrus hues are indeed the colours of the season but when it comes to basics, staples and failsafe summer items, ecru is the hero shade. It’s that creamy, milky, off-white shade that is far from stark modern white. It goes with anything, from tangerine to denim and beyond. Your muse: Huntington-Whiteley. 3. THE TERRY TOP This sunny season is nostalgic with terry towelling just one of the retro trends making a comeback. This ’70s pool party trend is best worn in a cute polo-style top or relaxed shorts to simply throw over your bikini after a…
