It’s not every Friday morning you get to start the day having a chat with one of the world’s biggest musicians. That they then turn out to be really fun and engaged in the interview is a complete bonus, too. That was my experience with Robbie Williams last week, who chatted with WHO ahead of the release of his album XXV and his upcoming performance at the AFL Grand Final. I first interviewed him when he was a teenager in boy band Take That, and while he’s now a dad of four, he’s lost none of his charm or cheek. Check out our exclusive interview with the star from page 24. Our senior writer Penelope Clifton also spoke to Luxe Listings’ D’Leanne Lewis this week. The 50-year-old mum is expecting…

Royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – or the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as they like to be referred – have touched down in the UK for a series of events there and in Europe, but their reception can only be described as frosty at best. While Harry, 37, and Meghan, 41, are staying at their former home in Windsor, Frogmore Cottage, Prince William and Duchess Kate’s new home, Adelaide Cottage, is just a few hundred metres away – but the Cambridges are refusing a meeting with their relatives following Meghan’s continued attacks on the royal family via her podcast, Archetypes, her recent bombshell interview with The Cut and fears over what Harry’s upcoming memoir will reveal. Even Queen Elizabeth is unlikely to see her once-favoured grandson, as the…

Real Life Many of us are familiar with actor and singer Rob Mills from his appearances in TV and stage productions over the past two decades, but amid his busy schedule he also finds time to be an ambassador for harm prevention charity, R U OK?. Mills spoke to WHO during a break in his current rehearsal schedule, for musical Hairspray, about his own mental health journey and how important it is to check in with friends. “I suffered a panic attack many years ago after Australian Idol. I think it came from a bit of substance abuse, drinking and stuff,” he shares. “It was probably at a time where I really didn’t know who I was as a person, and I hadn’t really done any self-exploration. I had a…

How would you explain your personal beauty ethos? Beauty really comes from the inner self. This radiates outwards, so truly using that connection of stability in self, joy and happiness. Eating well, enjoying food, too. The skin is so important because it’s one of our largest organs. How has your skincare regime changed over the years? What products can you no longer live without? The products I mostly have on me would be a concealer, a mascara, a rosewater toner spray and Essano Rosehip Oil, because my skin is often dry and it always looks bright and dewy when I apply that. Skincare always changes for me. After doing Tour of Beauty I embraced this bountiful curiosity and the different approaches to beauty to feed and nourish the skin. When…

FITTED TO PERFECTION Sometimes lingerie shopping can be an exhausting experience, especially when it comes to confusing cup sizes, tight-fitting straps and months in lockdown going sans bra. But ensuring that your bra fits to a T is extremely important, especially for those with a fuller bust as a good one can prevent back pain and sore shoulders. “When a bra fits perfectly … there is no poking, digging in, squeezing or overflow. Your bra is there to support you throughout the day and adapt to any movements you make,” explains the Simone Pérèle team. One of the most common problems women face when searching for a bra is feeling they must sacrifice fashion for function. “Many women feel they need to compromise the style and fashionability of a bra…

Reality TV star Spencer Pratt, 39, shared a video on TikTok last week in which he claims actress Lisa Kudrow is “one of the worst humans” he’s ever met. According to Pratt, he and wife Heidi Montag, 35, were attending their first A-list party in 2009 when they were approached by the Friends star. Allegedly, Kudrow proceeded to tell Montag that she “needs to get away … as fast as possible”, that Pratt was “going to murder her” and that he had “the eyes of a serial killer”. Bizarrely, Bethenny Frankel backed up Pratt’s claims, stating that she “had a crazy experience also” with Kudrow when she appeared on her podcast. “When [Lisa] was on my talk show, she stood out as the person who wanted to be there least…

With drama constantly following Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, and the scandal with Prince Andrew, Prince William and his wife, Catherine, are doing all they can to keep carry on Elizabeth’s legacy. “He’s much more confident in his role and the position he wants to have,” a former aid told Vanity Fair of William, who will take royalty into the modern age. Patrick Jephson, formerly employed by Princess Diana, told Marie Claire the real star is his steadfast and hugely popular wife. “Kate is just what these troubled royal times need. It’s no exaggeration that the Windsors’ future lies in her hands.” According to Sunrise’s royal editor Rob Jobson, Queen Elizabeth’s absences at recent events means there’s “more going on than we’ve been told” in regards to the 96-year-old’s ailing…

Off the rails In 1995, Williams turned up to the Glastonbury Festival and partied hard. “I did the rock’n’roll cliché of getting burnt out,” he says of that time. Return of the angel His hit ballad ‘Angels’ was released in 1997 with his debut solo album, Life Thru a Lens. It’s still a hit, as Williams says, “at hatches, matches and dispatches”. Aussie friends In 2000, Williams and Kylie Minogue teamed up for single ‘Kids’. In 2001, ‘Something Stupid’, his duet with Nicole Kidman, topped charts. Family man These days it’s family first for the star, who shares four children with his actress and activewear designer wife, Field. Fashion first This year, Williams has teamed up with Australian designer Camilla Franks for a new collab. “She took all of the…

ALEX DIMITRIADES NICK POULOS Starring in The Heartbreak Kid had put this previously unknown actor on the map, and although he moved across to lead the TV show – playing Nick Poulos, a slightly renamed version of effectively the same character – Dimitriades left after one season amid a pay dispute. Since then, the 48-year-old has enjoyed a varied acting career, starring in Christos Tsiolkas adaptations Head On and The Slap on the big and small screens, as well as everything from film Wog Boy 2: Kings of Mykonos to SBS drama The Principal, for which he received a Logie Award for Most Outstanding Actor. Most recently, he appeared in Stan drama series, The Tourist. SCOTT MAJOR PETER RIVERS Like Dimitriades, Major had appeared in The Heartbreak Kid and his…

Of all the mistakes Chris Dawson made in the aftermath of killing his wife, one thing stood out for forensic scientist and criminologist Dr Xanthé Mallett. “If it weren’t for his lies, I think the verdict could have easily gone the other way,” she says of the 74-year-old being found guilty of the murder of Lynette Dawson, 33, in a Sydney court on August 30. “Why was he lying if he hadn’t done anything wrong?” The litany of lies came in the form of Dawson – a former professional rugby league player and phys-Ed teacher – telling police, loved ones and friends that Lyn had called him on several occasions following her disappearance in January 1982. Four decades later in the stunning culmination of his trial, Dawson was found to…

Some people collect teapots. Some people collect stamps. Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden collect houses. Big ones! The latest addition to the couple’s growing list of properties includes this $19 million mansion in the middle of Montecito, set on 7000 square metres of lush grounds. The Good Charlotte guitarist and actress, have plenty of space in the newly renovated estate, with six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half baths. With both creatives having had huge financial successes from their long careers – and from their highly rated wine brand, Avaline – they can easily afford to renovate to the highest spec. But Diaz, who’s taken a step away from her film career in recent years, and Madden can now relax and read in front of the chateau-style fireplace, enjoy…

My breasts are bulging out of the sides. In most cases, this means your bra is too small in the back – you must consider moving up a band size. One breast is bigger than the other. How do I go about finding a bra? We would always choose to fit the larger breast. Trying different shapes is the best way to ensure a well-balanced outcome. The underwire is not resting on my body. This would indicate the incorrect size and shape for your body. An underwire bra should feel very comfortable and mould to the body perfectly when the size is correct. The cups are wrinkling at the top. The cup may be too large, or the shape sits too high on your décolletage. The shape and style of…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? I was travelling with friends and the only place for dinner had a formal dress code. My wonderful friend Alex only had the shorts and T-shirt he was wearing that day. As he is a slim fellow, I lent him a pair of linen pants and one of my blouses. Not only did he get in, but he looked so much better than me in the outfit. Last book you read? Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie. Last gift you got? I am spending the next 10 months in New York to study my Masters at Columbia University. As a farewell present, my aunt got me a pillow case that says, “Let’s Avocuddle.” As she says, “So you don’t forget…

It’s the end of an era. The Veronicas have split – and in true fashion, they announced it in dramatic style. Lisa and Jess Origliasso wiped their joint Instagram account on September 5, before revealing they were releasing solo tracks via their own social media pages. Lisa hinted that the twin’s band break-up was far from amicable. “ARE YOU ON MY TEAM ... JESSIE333 dropping September 7, 2022,” she shared on Instagram, alongside a race-themed teaser clip. Meanwhile, Lisa posted, “I’m going solo [love heart emojis]. LISA VERONICA dropping September 7, 2022.” It’s not the first time the famous sisters have separated. Back in 2017, the girls stopped speaking after it was revealed Lisa disapproved of her twin’s relationship with Australian actress Ruby Rose. Following Jess and Rose’s split, the…

Celebrity Leonardo DiCaprio seemingly has a biological clock, but not of the traditional kind. The 47-year-old actor has bid farewell to his latest girlfriend, Camila Morrone, in a move that many fans online claim was easy to see coming. DiCaprio’s ex recently turned 25 and many have commented since the news broke that The Revenant star rarely, if ever, dates anyone older than that age. Since splitting from Morrone after four years, the Oscar-winning actor has been seen partying in St Tropez with friends including Tobey Maguire, while she nursed her broken heart in the same French town days earlier with her mum, Lucila Sola, 46. So what sparked this latest split? A source told the New York Post, “By the time [many] girls reach 25, they’re looking for more…

Since going public with their romance in January 2021, Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles have maintained their privacy – until now. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the couple have finally spoken out about the “toxic negativity” surrounding their relationship. Styles addressed the nasty comments directed to Wilde when news of the relationship broke, telling the magazine that they don’t make him “feel good”. “It’s obviously a difficult feeling to feel like being close to me means you’re at the ransom of a corner of Twitter or something,” he said. And Wilde spoke about his fans. “What I don’t understand … is that that kind of toxic negativity is the antithesis of Harry and everything he puts out there,” she told Rolling Stone. Wilde, 38, has just celebrated winning…

Adored by the fashion world, she’s been an ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana, a face of a Marc Jacobs collection and graced the runway for Roberto Cavalli.
