Look, it’s no secret that I’m a huge reality TV fan. If real-life people are on my screen eating something horrible in a bush tucker trial, enduring pain in an immunity challenge, or marrying a complete stranger, then I am here for it. The big daddy of reality TV shows is of course Married at First Sight. I’ve watched this show for years – but I have to say, I was pretty blown away by the fall out from this week’s bust-up between the brides and so I was very eager to find out what our cover stars Domenica, Selin and new girl Jess thought of the drama. Has MAFS gone too far this time? Check out what they have to say about what really went down – and what…

After leaving the country suddenly six months ago, Natalie Portman and her family have quietly returned – and they certainly seem happy about it! Back in the city she called home for most of 2020 and 2021 while filming Thor: Love and Thunder, the American actress canoodled with her husband of almost 10 years, Benjamin Millepied. Enjoying a children’s birthday party at Sydney’s Bronte Beach on February 20, the couple indulged in sweet PDA. From sharing passionate kisses to resting a protective hand on Portman’s stomach, these two couldn’t have appeared more loved up. The actress, 40, and her French dancer husband, 44, bolted for the border in August last year after she pulled out of Days of Abandonment right before it was to begin filming in Sydney, citing “unforeseen…

After her shock split with Aussie beau Jacob Elordi in December, Kaia Gerber has had a little help in mending her broken heart. The model, 20, has found love again with actor Austin Butler. The genetically blessed pair looked made for each other as they took a romantic stroll around London on February 14, enjoying a low-key Valentine’s Day date. “Kaia thinks Austin is a sweetheart. They’re having a lot of fun getting to know each other,” a source told Page Six. Best of all, Gerber’s gorgeous mum, Cindy Crawford, 55, approves of the burgeoning love. The source noted Gerber’s parents are “supportive of the relationship and only want to see Kaia happy”. Funnily enough, Butler also has a connection to Australia, The actor, 30, lived Down Under for several…

Between her Las Vegas residency and role as a judge on American Idol, there is no doubt that Katy Perry is one of the hardest-working mums in show business. So when filming duties for the 20th season of the hit reality singing competition meant she had to head to Hawaii, the 37-year-old musician decided to mix business with pleasure and invite her loved ones along for a fun family vacay. But with the ‘Firework’ singer having stepped out on the Idol set in a fitted white skirt and midriff top showing off what appeared to be a small bump, fans are speculating the trip may actually be a secret babymoon for Perry and fiancé Orlando Bloom. “Are you all seeing what I am seeing? That girl is definitely pregnant again!”…

When launching her health and wellness platform Re-Spin a year ago, Halle Berry said she hoped to “help people find the confidence to shift their approach to health and wellness”. “Age is nothing but a number”- BERRY On February 18, she was a walking advertisement for the method, flaunting her fit physique in a series of Instagram posts that showed her frolicking on the beach alongside her long-time trainer Peter Lee Thomas. “We’re back, ready to give you more Fitness Friday fun and tips and continue to encourage you along your fitness journey!” she captioned the body-baring snaps. At 55 years old, Berry is in the best shape of her life, having learned five mixed martial arts – Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, Muay Thai, taekwondo, kickboxing – and upped her weight…

There’s no love lost between warring brides Domenica Calarco and Jessica Seracino. In a show that is all about first impressions, Calarco admits she didn’t like the “vibe” recently arrived Seracino was giving off from the get-go. She’d decided she didn’t like what she saw before they’d even tucked into entrees at the drama-filled dinner party that aired this week. “I just got this vibe from her immediately,” Calarco, 28, told WHO after the fiery encounter. “I just thought that she had this real smugness to her, that she knows better and that she thinks it’s my way or the highway. She was coming in here thinking that she knew better when it’s like, ‘Hey mate, you’ve been here two minutes and we’ve been here three weeks so just take…

ADELE Adele has previously said she’ll never change the signature scent she’s been wearing since she was 15. That perfume she’s talking about is Dior’s Hypnotic Poison. Housed in a poison apple-reminiscent red bottle, the fragrance has notes of vanilla, caramel and fruits, and is downright delicious. MEGHAN MARKLE Markle is a big a fan of the Wild Bluebell Cologne fragrance by iconic British perfumer Jo Malone, which is full of jasmine, amber and musk. “Fragrance is my favourite thing, so much so, that if I leave the house and don’t put any on, I’ll turn around and go back home,”says perfume addict Markle. ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY Known for her impeccable taste, Huntington-Whiteley rotates between different perfumes. However, she counts Byredo’s Gypsy Water as her all-time favourite, with gorgeous scents of…

We all deal with fears, stress and anxiety at times of change, and that’s especially true as we continue to deal with a global crisis. Managing worry or panic is a natural part of life and brings our attention to the fact that, in this particular moment, something is missing for us – usually a feeling of safety or certainty. Here are some easy techniques from body-mind analyst Suzanne Masefield to help stabilise and centre yourself whenever you feel worries creeping in. 1. BREAK IT DOWN When you’re facing a new challenge, one that elicits fear or stress, the first thing to do is to break it down into a series of small steps. Complete each small step one at a time to make the challenge manageable and to increase…

These days Sarhys Page is known as one of Australia’s top personal trainers, with a refreshing and relatable approach to health and fitness that’s attracted celeb clients like Jesinta Franklin and Roxy Jacenko. But behind that success has been a long and difficult journey that began when she made a pledge to become 100 per cent sober. “By the time I was sober curious I’d spent years drinking to absolute excess,” she reveals. “I’d jeopardised jobs, friendships, my health and my future.” The turning point came six years ago, when Page realised it was time to take charge of her health. What began as a one-month experiment to go sober curious stretched out to a year, then more, and soon became a new way of life. Here, Page reveals what…

While you might not hesitate at splurging over $50 on a bottle of champagne, spending the same on a bottle of wine makes us pause and consider whether it’s really worth it. Why is this? There can often be an assumption that you’re just as likely to enjoy a $30 bottle of wine as you are an $80 bottle. While that may be true on occasion, sometimes it’s worth splashing out that little bit extra so you can sit down and really savour the small nuances and labour that has gone into that bottle. Several factors make producing wine more expensive. These include oak, time and terroir. OAK AGEING Maturing in oak barrels adds various aroma compounds to wine, which can impart such notes as vanilla, spice, clove, caramel or…

In 2019, Victoria’s Secret pledged to stop portraying unrealistic expectations of beauty in women by cancelling their annual fashion show full of leggy blonde Angels. In 2022, the lingerie brand joined the real world when it fulfilled its promise to offer more diversity by unveiling the faces behind its new Love Cloud Collection bra campaign. Joining the big names including Hailey Bieber and Adut Akech are a female firefighter, pregnant designer and transgender model. Making history as the brand’s first model with Down Syndrome is Sofía Jirau. “I want to tell the whole world that people with my condition, Down syndrome, inside and out, we have no limits,” the gorgeous 25-year-old Puerto Rican told People magazine. Jirau captured the fashion industry’s attention when she made her modelling debut at New…

Britney Spears’ estranged family might want to take cover – or lawyer up – because the singer has signed a book deal worth a gobsmacking $20 million. According to numerous reports, the 40-year-old reached a landmark deal with publishing house Simon & Schuster after a massive bidding war for her tell-all memoir, which will document the truth about her career, her family and personal life. If the price tag is right, it would make it one of the biggest publishing deals of all time, slotting in behind the multiple book deal signed by former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. The announcement comes after Britney’s younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears released her own tome, Things I Should Have Said, in which she made some serious accusations about the…

When And Just Like That hit screens in December, it was very polarising. Long-term fans of Sex and the City seemed to either love it or hate it. But few opinions probably count as much as Candace Bushnell’s. The original series was based on columns written about the dating adventures and mishaps of the now-63-year-old. She also served as the inspiration for Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw. After not being involved in the reboot, Bushnell admits she can’t see anything of herself reflected in the lead now. “I’m really startled by a lot of the decisions made in the reboot,”Bushnell told The New Yorker.“I mean, Carrie Bradshaw ended up being a quirky woman who married a really rich guy. And that’s not my story, or any of my friends’stories.” Cynthia…

This year was meant to be the time when Queen Elizabeth II basked in her moment of glory after spending a historic 70 years on Britain’s throne. But instead of celebrating her life of service, a statement released by Buckingham Palace this week revealed that the 95-year-old monarch is battling COVID-19 amidst a serious outbreak at Windsor Castle. Elizabeth tested positive just days after the news broke that her son Prince Charles, 73, had also caught the virus for a second time (his wife Camilla also tested positive). It was also revealed that two days before his diagnosis was made public, on February 10, the heir to the throne had met his mother at Windsor Castle, where she’s been residing since the pandemic began. Triple-vaxxed, but falling under the “high…

“I loved being on the catwalk”-EVANGELISTA Almost five years ago, supermodels Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruni Sarkozy, Helena Christensen and Cindy Crawford made headlines at Milan Fashion Week when they reunited on the runway at Versace’s Spring/Summer 2018 show. Noticeably absent was ’90s It girl Linda Evangelista. “There was a reason she retired from the spotlight,” fellow model Paulina Porizvoka posted in support of her contemporary and friend. “For a woman known for her brilliance as a physical chameleon and embodiment of elegance, it was a harsh one.” In September, Evangelista, 56, shed light on those reasons in an emotional Instagram post. She claimed she’d been “brutally disfigured” by CoolSculpting – a “fat-freezing” procedure – that “did the opposite of what it promised”. She alleged that fat cells in…

After another fiery bust-up at the dinner party, it looks like it’s time for Selin Mengu, 32, and pro wrestler Anthony Cincotta to finally put each other – and viewers – out of their misery. While on paper the pair looked like they would make a beautiful blended family together – they both have a child from previous relationships – they’ve struggled to stay civil with one another since their honeymoon. “She couldn’t name a single nice thing about me and that just really kind of hurt,’’ Cincotta, 38, told WHO. “I left that dinner party feeling hopeless. We are too completely different souls when it came down to it.’’…

“I’ve kind of been bouncing back and forth between that Thai tradition of keeping your loved one close but also wanting to release him – just spiritually wanting him to be a part of the universe again,”Teigen has shared since the loss of her son. To that end, she has had a tree planted inside their house in soil that contains his ashes. “The way Miles and Luna talk about him is so beautiful and reminds me of when I was little talking to my grandpa who was just sitting bedside next to my mum in a little urn,” she told People magazine. “It’s all beautiful, and I love that tradition carries down.”Teigen’s openness about her loss resulted in more than 7 million of her followers offering condolences and sharing…

Don’t worry if you can’t quite figure out exactly who Anna Delvey is. After all, it’s a question that those who thought they knew her best are still asking themselves five years after she went to prison. The self-professed millionaire German heiress lived a lavish life in New York City in 2013. For four years, her days were a whirlwind of private jets, designer clothes and fancy parties, where she rubbed shoulders with the elite of New York society. Her generosity was legendary. “She gave to everyone,” hotel concierge Neff Davis told Jessica Pressler, whose article in New York magazine uncovered the con. “Uber drivers, $100 cash. Meals – listen. You know how you reach for your credit card? She wouldn’t let me.” “Anna was a character”- WILLIAMS But Delvey,…

Dennis Quaid was an 18-year-old University of Houston student when he enrolled in a drama class that changed the course of his life. “I didn’t think I was going to be an actor,” he says. “By the second week I knew that’s what I wanted to do with my life.” Now 67, he has more than 100 film and TV credits and will next be seen portraying celebrated St Louis Rams coach Dick Vermeil in American Underdog, a biopic of NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner (played by Zachary Levi). “The film,” he says, “is really about never giving up and always following your dreams.” Quaid has long embraced that mantra. Raised in Houston by his parents – Buddy, an electrician, and Juanita, a real estate agent (his older brother…

If you’re looking for a reason to take up yoga, the benefits are endless. Studies have linked it to everything from stress relief to improved strength, flexibility and balance. It may even lead to improved heart health, lower inflammation and improved bone density. But for some people, the thought of turning up to a class is daunting to say the least. And while social media probably isn’t fully to blame, it has fuelled some misconceptions about the typical “yoga body”. “I think that there’s an idea that you have to be thin, or that you need to be particularly flexible to do yoga,” says Jessamyn Stanley, yoga instructor, social advocate and founder of The Underbelly yoga. “And I think that in America anyway, there’s really an association with like, thin,…

ROUTINE WAS KEY “Something that really helped me was creating rituals and routines, for example making sure I had a fridge full of delicious soft drinks and a cupboard full of tea to have in the evening when I would normally be drinking booze.” SHE PRACTISED SELF-KINDESS “The sugar cravings were real in the early days! I went easy on myself with everything else that first month – actually the first year. That was important. If I was craving any kind of food, I allowed myself that.” , SUPPORT WAS CRUCIAL “I told everybody around me I was taking a month off drinking, as a way to hold myself accountable. That helped so much; I knew I’d be less likely to give up if everyone was asking me about it…

Emily Edwards must have some kind of sixth sense. She got the idea for her novel The Herd, which is about childhood vaccinations, back in 2018 – long before the pandemic. “I was heavily pregnant and bouncing on a birthing ball watching our vaccine-hesitant doula argue with my pro-vaccination husband about whether or not we intended to vaccinate our unborn baby,” the author tells WHO. “I was struck by how emotional they both became and thought it would make a great topic for a novel. Just for the record, we have vaccinated our kids!” In The Herd, Edwards tells the story of best friends and mums, Bryony and Elizabeth. While one mother’s daughter suffers from a serious illness, the other is an anti-vaxxer. When Bryony tells a white lie before…

IT’S IN THE GENES LONDON It’s hard to say who looked better, Elizabeth Hurley or her son Damian when the pair headed out to celebrate Joan Collins’ joint wedding anniversary/birthday party. “Best date ever,” the actress declared of her gorgeous boy.

Swimsuit model Lara Worthington was all smiles as she returned to her natural element for a solo trip home. With no sign of husband Sam Worthington or their three kids, the 34-year-old flew into Sydney on February 15 – but with enough luggage for a whole family or perhaps an extended stay. Clearly enjoying some time to herself, Worthington has been making the most of her time back in Oz, enjoying morning dips in the ocean, beachside strolls and a cruise aboard a luxury yacht on Sydney Harbour with her brother Joshua Bingle. It’s understood that Worthington’s trip home is driven by both business and pleasure. She’s been seen heading into a studio for a photo shoot and meeting with her manager Patrick Devlin, as well as spending time with…

Adele is doing very little to shut down engagement talk. In fact, she seemed only too happy to fuel speculation when she showed off her ring finger while cosying up to her lover, Rich Paul, at an NBA All-Star game in Cleveland on February 20. The dazzling $2 million rock she flashed at the Brit Awards earlier this month has been replaced with a simple band – but she’s still wearing it where it counts. The happy couple snuggled and held hands throughout the game while Adele also chatted to R’n’B legend Mary J Blige, who was seated next to her. The 33-year-old superstar has become a courtside regular since becoming involved with the sports agent, 40. They were first romantically linked in July last year when she accompanied Paul…

HELENA CHRISTENSEN “I knew in my heart you somehow had been quietly going through something deeply personal and disturbing but also because I thought of all the scars life leaves on us all, whether physical or emotional and how long we suffer mostly in silence and alone,” the 53-year-old said. JANUARY JONES “Love that you’re reclaiming your story,” the former model, 44, who made her name as Betty Draper in Mad Men, wrote in response to Evangelista’s story. She continued: “This strength and bravery supersedes any superficial outward appearance. An icon is an icon is an icon. Always.” CINDY CRAWFORD The model, who consistently worked with Evangelista in their 1990s heyday, was among the first of the A-listers who took to the comment section of Evangelista’s tell-all Instagram post. “Linda…

Was that a loaded finger gun in Daniel Holmes’ pocket or was he just happy to see Carolina Santos? In a move that would put Cupid and his bow and arrow to shame, the personal trainer points his finger right at the Brazilian beauty when she asks him who he’s most attracted to. And given that she’s just confessed to him during their flirty conversation that he ticks more of her boxes than her husband Dion Giannarelli does, it looks like a direct hit. The 33-year-old reveals that her perfect match is someone tall and fit – two things that she says her husband isn’t, but Holmes, who practically bursts out of his clothes, certainly is. So with the new newlyweds failing to hit it off in the early days,…

JESSICA PRESSLER Anna Chlumsky’s Vivian Kent is based on the journalist who uncovered Sorokin’s deception. Now working at Vanity Fair, she also wrote the article the 2019 film Hustlers was based on.

THE RIGHT STUFF “It’s my favourite movie,” Quaid says of the 1983 drama about the first astronauts selected for the US space program. GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! Quaid starred as Jerry Lee Lewis in the 1989 film. He says the key to portraying real people is to “play them from their point of view as much as possible”. THE PARENT TRAP Quaid played Lindsay Lohan’s father in the 1998 comedy. “She was the smartest, most precocious 11-year-old I think I’d ever met,” he has said of Lohan.…

Consider this your crystal ball preview into all things skin, makeup and hair for the year ahead, courtesy of three Australian gurus in the know. THE MANE EVENT NEW HUES Get ready to see multidimensional shades taking centre stage. This includes “freshening up grown out hair with lighter face-framing highlights as an antidote to the dull, faded colours seen during 2021,” says Australian hair stylist Kevin Murphy. The tones to know? “Crème brûlée – a warm brown base with lighter caramel-toned highlights swirled into the hair,” says Murphy, who adds that “rich cinnamon coppers will be a strong contender for autumn/winter 22”. CHOP ‘N’ CHANGE The past couple of years have been dominated by ultra-glam, Instaworthy blowouts, but now “short, sharp styles are taking over”, says Murphy. Think ’90s, flicky…

FRILL SEEKER If you were wondering whether frills, florals, girly shapes and puffy sleeves are in for autumn, Aussie brand Aje has just confirmed they well and truly are.

Last year Stanley made headlines when she appeared alongside other body positivity advocates in a Cosmopolitan cover story titled“This is Healthy”. Commentators such as Piers Morgan accused her of promoting an unhealthy body image. Stanley hit back at critics who equate health with body size. “There’s a focus on just trying to get thin as opposed to finding out what healthy actually looks like for you. When we focus on what we look like, we don’t focus on what we feel like.”…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Greeting my mum at the airport when I landed in Queensland for Christmas. What is your guilty pleasure? Chocolate and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. If you could act with anyone in the world, who would you choose? Emma Thompson. I absolutely adore her and want to be in her orbit.
