The saying goes that you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. No-one would know that better than the Beckhams and the Sussexes. For the Beckhams, they seem to have been a house divided since eldest son Brooklyn wed Nicola Peltz earlier this year. For a once tight-knit clan, it’s shocking and sad to see them as a fractured family. All eyes will be on the front row of Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show on September 30, to see if her daughter-in-law will take her seat as a sign they can put their differences behind them. I had the pleasure of meeting Grace Tame and, while she’s a diminutive young woman, she’s an absolute powerhouse when it comes to fighting for survivors of sexual assault.…

who’s news Some of our favourite stars were dressed to the nines to celebrate Baz Luhrmann’s 60th birthday at the appropriately named New York hotspot, The Nines, courtesy of Vogue. The Australian director was serenaded with ‘Lady Marmalade’ and ‘One Day I’ll Fly Away’, both nods to his Oscar-winning film Moulin Rouge!. And in lieu of ‘Happy Birthday’, guests belted out ‘Time After Time’, a tune from his iconic flick, Strictly Ballroom. Aussie stars Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, Joel Edgerton and partner Christine Centenera, and Olivia DeJonge were in attendance, as were Florence Welch, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham, his Romeo + Juliet leading lady Claire Danes, and Anna Wintour. In a recent interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Luhrmann opened up about turning 60 and the hilarious…

who’s news Another day, another celebrity scandal, with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, 43, being the latest to find himself caught up in one. The shock allegations of the singer’s infidelity dropped after Levine’s wife of 10 years, model Behati Prinsloo, announced that she was pregnant with their third child. Instagram model Sumner Stroh, 23, says that she was romantically linked to Levine for over a year in a TikTok video that went viral. According to Stroh, the star texted her, “I’m having another baby and if it’s a boy I really wanna name it Sumner.” She tells the camera, “I was completely manipulated.” Five women have since come forward with similar allegations. Levine released a public statement on Instagram. “I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone…

Fresh off the plane from Los Angeles and back on home soil, Australian beauty Lara Worthington wasted no time heading for her happy place – the beach. Making the most of her good fortune returning home on a warm spring day, the 35-year-old actress made a beeline for Sydney’s Bondi Beach where she caught up with her best friend, actress Phoebe Tonkin, who will soon be seen in Boy Swallows Universe. She credits her ocean dips with helping her keep her glowing and youthful appearance. “I really love the ocean,” she recently told Viva. “I’m a Cancerian and a real water baby. Being by the ocean is like one of my skin rituals.” Judging by the lack of children in her wake and the relatively small amount of luggage she…

Even in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s death on September 8, Meghan Markle faces renewed allegations of bullying and tantrums during her time in The Firm – but is it a case of character assassination or the cold, hard truth? Authors and journalists Katie Nicholl and Valentine Low’s new books about the royals detail alleged incidents between Markle and palace staff, delusions of grandeur, calculated motivation and more. In extracts published in The Times from Low’s Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex felt “cornered and misunderstood” by Harry’s family, which resulted in their January 2020 exit – or ‘Megxit’ – from royal life. “I think Meghan thought she was going to be the Beyoncé of the UK. Being part of the royal…

Despite their very public proclamations about their post-honeymoon happiness, Brooklyn looked strained and concerned following a dinner date at Cecconi’s restaurant in West Hollywood with his wife earlier this month. While the couple arrived and dined together at the exclusive Italian eatery, aspiring chef Brooklyn was later seen looking despondent – and alone – as he sat outside the restaurant, scrolling on his phone. The dinner date coincided with his parents acknowledging Brooklyn’s Vogue Hong Kong shoot with his wife, but failing to like or mention any posts relating to the shoot that involved Nicola. However, after fans questioned the pair over what looked like a lover’s tiff, they – as usual – took to Instagram Stories to clarify that Nicola had simply left by a different exit to avoid…

Zac Efron celebrates 20 years in show business this year, but it’s only now the 34-year-old feels on top of his game, his health and his life. The former child star credits his extended relocation to Australia for bringing him down to earth, after some personally difficult times. Earlier this year he was linked to plastic surgery rumours after images emerged of the Baywatch star sporting a very different look facially. However, Efron told the October edition of Men’s Health magazine that the effects of a shocking 2013 accident were to blame for his altered appearance. The actor described how his “chin bone was hanging off his face” after he injured himself when he slipped on a sock and clipped a granite fountain at his home. According to the star,…

Italy holds a very special place in Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s hearts. It’s the country they wed in, back in 2012. Now in 2022, the famous couple still look like newlyweds just weeks shy of their 10th wedding anniversary. The 41-year-old ‘SexyBack’ singer and Biel, 40, were spied in Monte Argentario, a idyllic peninsula in Tuscany. From sharing kisses in the blue waters to cuddling on sunbeds, these two are more solid than ever. One onlooker toldE! News, “They seem like a very happy couple enjoying their vacation with friends.” They add the pair had “a lot of one-on-one time, just the two of them”. And thanks to Biel, we know the secret to their decade-long marriage. “Well, I’ll have to give Justin the credit in this moment for…

Breast care nurse Rosie Gillies, who is supporting Irwin, is based at St John of God Hospital, Bendigo. She says the “role chose her” and she can see up to 80 new women per year, with men being diagnosed, too. “I don’t mean to sound like a cliché,” she smiles, “but it really is an honour to be with these people. You’re with them at a very raw time. Then you see them get to the other side and it’s really rewarding.” The role can be demanding mentally and Gillies says “having wonderful colleagues helps”. She adds “connecting with friends, family and anything that’s grounding” keeps her going, too. “Breast cancer is an individual experience,” she tells WHO. “The challenge can be meeting everyone’s specific needs and being…

BEAUTY How has your beauty routine changed over the years? I used to have more of a process and a bit more time. Now, everything is about optimising efficiency. Also, over the years I’ve realised that less is more. I used to use too many active products and try to do too many things at once. Now I’m more simple. I usually only use water in the mornings to wash my face. What does your skincare consist of? I have a really good moisturiser from SkinCeuticals, which I love. I also use an SPF called Ultra Violette. I didn’t take care of my skin when I was a kid, and now in my 30s I’ve realised how much sun damage I did to it. So [wearing SPF] is something I…

the hit list YOUR GUIDE TO THE BIGGEST ENTERTAINMENT RELEASES EACH WEEK BRINGING THE HEAT Outspoken McMullen kept the cast accountable. “I would say, ‘Listen here, guys. I’m gonna be straight up with you. I don’t think some of you are here for the right reasons and it’s p---ing me off. You can’t bulls--t a bulls--t artist, so give it to me straight.’” Described by host Darren McMullen as part Love Island, part Below Deck, dating show The Real Love Boat sounds a little like Titanic for those looking for lasting romance. But with McMullen and former Below Deck First Stew Hannah Ferrier steering the ship, we are predicting smooth sailing for the 21 hopefuls cruising the Mediterranean. “We only wanted genuine folk,” McMullen tells WHO. “I think producers did…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Just yesterday, watching old clips from Absolutely Fabulous on YouTube. The episode where Patsy’s age is printed in the newspaper. Pure, unadulterated TV gold. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? I love to car-dance to cheesy ’70s disco and pop. It takes me back to my early teens. It’s a pleasure that has to be enjoyed alone – and loud. Last time you danced in public? At my partner David’s 60th birthday party. And for the record, I was in drag (it was mandatory) and wearing six-inch heels. I was very proud of myself. What was the last meal you cooked? Toasted cheese sandwiches for David when we both had COVID. But usually, David cooks for me. He’s an ex-chef…

Gwyneth Paltrow turned 50 on September 27, taking to Instagram to share a black-and-white, bikini-clad photo of her leaping in the air and some lengthy musings on life to date. “I accept the marks and the loosening skin, the wrinkles,” she says. “I accept my body and let go of the need to be perfect, look perfect, defy gravity, defy logic, defy humanity. I accept my humanity.” In the short essay, the actress went on to say that her body is “a map of the evidence of all the days”. “Scarred from oven burns, a finger smashed in a window long ago, the birth of a child,” she continues. “Silver hair and fine lines.” The Shakespeare in Love star also shares more of her relationship with husband Brad Falchuk, explaining…

who’s news We’re crazy, stupid in love with Ryan Gosling and his wife, Eva Mendes, calling Australia home while he films The Fall Guy in Sydney. So when the actor touched down wearing his Canadian tuxedo this month, we were thrilled to catch a glimpse. The 41-year-old was seen arriving with Mendes, 48, and their daughters Esmeralda, 8, and Amada, 6, weeks after the actress revealed a little about the family’s “chaotic” but private life in a very rare interview. She told Forbes how Gosling is the cook in their household. “Hopefully it’s showing my girls that there are no gender-specific roles that one must take on, and that we are partners in this and that we’re all partners in this, not just Ryan and I, but our children as…

It’s confirmed, Johnny Depp is dating his defence lawyer – but it’s not the one you think. During his infamous defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, earlier this year, the rumour mill went into overdrive with whispers he was in a relationship with attorney Camille Vasquez. But as it turns out, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor actually had eyes for his attorney on a previous trial, Joelle Rich. The pair were spotted looking friendly in May outside court. According to reports, she was in Virginia to support her former client turned boyfriend, and now People has confirmed “they are dating”, but insists “it’s not serious”. The publication also reveals that Rich is married, but estranged from her husband with whom she shares two children – something she has…

Celebrity Since they first crossed paths on the set of the Mad Men series finale in 2015 and started dating around two years ago, Top Gun: Maverick star Jon Hamm and actress Anna Osceola, 34, have kept their romance relatively low profile. They finally made their red-carpet debut at an Oscars party in March. Now in a September interview with Howard Stern, Hamm has opened up about how the relationship has positively impacted his life – and how he’s ready to take things to the next level, with marriage and babies on the cards. Hamm, 51, who lost his mother to colon cancer at age 10, explained it had taken decades to come to terms with. “It’s also been a process of working on myself, my mental health, all the…

Harry and Meghan’s recent time in the UK was far from smooth sailing – and we’re not just talking about the monarch’s death. The pair’s movements were carefully watched and picked apart by not just royalists, but The Firm, too. And the only place for him to reveal all is in his memoirs – but is it too late? “Harry has thrown a spanner in the works as he is desperate to get it refined in the light of the Queen’s death, her funeral and his father Charles taking the throne,” an insider told The Sun. According to the same insider, publishers were unhappy with the “emotional” first draft, which focused heavily on mental health. After finally completing the tome – which is part of a $60 million deal –…

When you know Grace Tame’s story – and most of us probably think we do – it’s a little surprising at first to hear her say she’s had a “great life”. “For all the bad things that have happened, there have been so many more amazing things that have occurred and fortunate opportunities,” she tells WHO over a coffee and a fresh juice. “Out of the bad things that have happened, I’ve had opportunities to learn and grow that otherwise wouldn’t have happened.” The outspoken firebrand, who we came to know when she was awarded the Australian of the Year in 2021 for her advocacy of survivors of sexual assault, shares this powerfully optimistic outlook in her newly released memoir. And after reading it, you realise there’s still a lot…

NEW TERRITORY The country music world was foreign to the star. “I just go where the fun is, where I haven’t been before,” Sarandon said on Fox’s Television Critics Tour. “I never knew it. I smoked a joint with Willie Nelson. That’s as deep as I go.” With an acting career spanning five decades, Susan Sarandon has racked up six Emmy and five Oscar nods. After starting out as a model before working as an actress on soap operas, the star, who turns 76 on October 4, has since demonstrated a knack for choosing complicated and thrilling roles – including Atlantic City (1980), Thelma & Louise (1991), Lorenzo’s Oil (1992) and The Client (1994), which earned her Oscar nominations before she won for Dead Man Walking (1995). Away from the…

“It’s nice to step back and look at what would make me feel more whole”—DIAZ She was at the peak of her career and the highest-paid actress over 40 when she called time on her incredible career in Hollywood. “I got a peace in my soul, because I finally was taking care of myself,” Cameron Diaz told Gwyneth Paltrow in 2020 of her decision to quit showbiz six years earlier. But in 2022, Diaz, who turned 50 on August 30, is coming out of her self-imposed retirement to star alongside Jamie Foxx in Netflix’s action comedy, Back in Action. The pair also worked together in 2014’s Annie – Diaz’s last role. In a rare interview with CBS Mornings, Diaz explained why she stepped away from the spotlight. “When [acting] has…

These days, everywhere we turn there is another terrifying story about climate change. From melting ice caps to the catastrophic risks of rising sea levels and threats to the Great Barrier Reef, it’s clear that our oceans are in peril. But we can make a difference as long as we act now. “There is still time, but literally the next five years will be crucial,” says Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, marine studies professor at the University of Queensland and chief scientist of the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. Science communicator, environmentalist and model Laura Wells agrees there is no time to waste. “We really need to be moving now in order to protect our oceans and our land,” she says. So we answer your major questions ... WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT? The…

Picture this: it’s bedtime and you’ve got a big event or an early morning start the next day. Obviously it’s important to get enough shut-eye, but after your head hits the pillow that much-needed slumber doesn’t come and the wakeful minutes turn into hours. You begin to realise you definitely won’t get enough sleep and the more stressed you get, the harder dozing off becomes. If you’re someone who stresses about how much you snooze, you’re in good company. A recent study by The Body Shop found 19 per cent of Aussies feel anxious about the amount of sleep they’re getting. For some, this can turn into an obsession called orthosomnia, which can have a negative impact on the way we sleep. WHAT IS ORTHOSOMNIA? “Orthosomnia is the obsession with…

who’s news Embellished garments and graphic prints were the big trend on Milan Fashion Week’s runways this month. From sequins and beading – à la Kim Kardashian’s Ciao, Kim collection for Dolce & Gabbana – to embroidery and fringing, Italy’s style capital dictated what we’ll be wearing come spring and summer 2023. Another trend was celebrities on the catwalk. Paris Hilton proved Barbiecore will still very much be a staple trend in our wardrobes in the year to come. She sashayed down the runway in a hot-pink, sequinned Versace party frock, reminiscent of her famous 21st birthday dress. She called the look “bridal Barbie vibes”, and praised the label’s founder and designer, Donatella Versace. “Thank you Donatella for having me close your Versace runway show in Milan. It was such…

Alec Baldwin has welcomed his eighth child – his seventh with his “exhausted and happy” wife, Hilaria. Ilaria Catalina Irena arrived on September 22. “How grateful we feel to welcome our newest little daughter into this world,” the pair told People. “Just as magical and filled with love as every other little person we have been blessed with.” Alec, 64, and Hilaria, 38, added, “Her Baldwinito siblings are so excited.” The ‘Baldwinitos’ include sons Rafael, 7, Leonardo, 6, Romeo, 4, and Eduardo, 2, and daughters Carmen, 9, and Maria, 1. Alec is also dad to 26-year-old Ireland, whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger.…

Decked out in a sophisticated suit over a lingerie-inspired corset, Ella Bleu Travolta made her New York Fashion Week debut on September 16. She appeared in the Karl Lagerfeld runway show for the brand’s chic Cara Loves Karl gender-neutral capsule collaboration with model Cara Delevingne. Ella’s thrilled dad, John Travolta, took to social media to sing his 22-year-old daughter’s praises. “So proud of Ella’s debut at fashion week in New York City!” he posted. The Saturday Night Fever star shared Ella with his late wife, Kelly Preston, who died aged 57 after a two-year battle with breast cancer in July 2020. John is also dad to son Benjamin, 11, and late son Jett, who died in 2009 at age 16, after he suffered a seizure on a family vacation to…

For years, portraits of David Beckham sitting front row with kids Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 20, Cruz, 17, and Harper, 11, at various Victoria Beckham fashion shows around the globe has become an annual social calendar highlight. This year, the former Spice Girl’s luxury collection will show at Paris Fashion Week on September 30. It will be the first live runway show for the British designer since February 2020, after she opted not to stage a show at London Fashion Week this year – reportedly saying at the time that the label’s finances were not able to cover the costs. “Victoria’s shows were always a family affair”— SOURCE However, despite Victoria’s triumphant runway return in Paris, the guest list for the show has become just the latest point of contention between…

When it comes to a breast cancer diagnosis, Rebecca Irwin used to think it was something that happened to other people. “Initially, I thought statistically I couldn’t get breast cancer,” the 39-year-old from Bendigo, Victoria tells WHO. “My two high school best friends had both had it in their early 30s and so for some reason, I thought I couldn’t possibly have it as well. There’s no history in my family of it or anything like that either.” But in September last year, Irwin woke up to a rude shock. “The inside of my pyjama shirt was just covered with blood,” she explains. “That’s a very clear sign that something’s not right.” She made an appointment immediately to see a doctor. Irwin was astounded when she was diagnosed with a…

WHAT IS IT As a dedicated sweet tooth from way back, I’ve tried more than my fair share of artificial sweeteners, but they often leave a bitter aftertaste. So I was surprised when I tried Lakanto’s Monkfruit Sweetener. It tastes similar to sugar, with no nasty chemical residue and only 1.1 calories per teaspoon. HOW IT WORKS Monkfruit has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, but it’s only started to gain worldwide attention in the last few years. Unlike regular sugar, monkfruit gets its sweetness from antioxidants known as mogrosides. The result is that it has zero calories, but is 100-250 times sweeter than regular sugar! THE VERDICT So far, I’ve tried the classic white granules with tea, sprinkled on porridge and as an addition to flavoured drinks…

Have you ever felt a pang at the sheer number of products you own and eventually throw out? Maybe you’ve picked up a noxious-looking bottle of cleaning spray and wondered where it came from or what exactly it is that you’ll be washing down the sink. If that sounds at all familiar, it may be time to make a switch. By making mindful choices when you shop, you won’t just be supporting ethical businesses, you’ll also be putting pressure on other companies to do the right thing. Lisa Bronner is the creator of the Going Green with Lisa Bronner blog and is the granddaughter of Dr Emanuel Bronner, of Pure-Castile Soap fame. In recent years, Bronner has seen a huge shift in the way that people are using their purchasing…
