Milly’s recently starred in the huge series House of the Dragon, and now returns to screens on November 15 in the second season of Foxtel’s Upright, which I reckon is one of the best Australian series of recent years. In her chat with Associate Editor Naomi Toy, she opens up on how weird her newfound fame is. Meanwhile, Miranda chatted to Senior Writer Penelope Clifton about her new collab fronting Audible’s Home of Storytelling campaign. She’s passionate about sharing local stories, both on-screen…

Former child pop sensation Aaron Carter is dead. The 34-year-old’s body was discovered on November 5 at his home in Los Angeles. According to reports, he was found unresponsive in a bath. The ‘I Want Candy’ singer’s brother, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, shared his heartbreak over his brother’s untimely death. “My heart has been broken today,” the 42-year-old wrote on social media. “Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded. I have always held onto the hope that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed.” In an appearance on The Doctors in 2019, Aaron admitted that he suffered from multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, acute anxiety and…

A-list, red-carpet events are back in full force – thank goodness! – and the 2022 LACMA Art + Film Gala might be one of the year’s best, thanks to Tinseltown’s biggest stars, incredible style and some bizarre moments. First there were the glamorous actresses like Olivia Wilde, Salma Hayek and Jodie Turner-Smith, singers like Elton John, Janelle Monáe and Billie Eilish, and It girls like Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton in attendance – which is just for starters! While most of the stars dazzled in Gucci – the label sponsored the event – Eilish and her boyfriend, Jesse Rutherford, made their debut as a couple in monogrammed nightwear by the Italian fashion house – and even brought their blankets to keep snug on the red carpet.…

Gwyneth Paltrow embraced turning 50 on September 27 and to hammer the point home, she posted nude pictures of her gold-painted body to mark the milestone. “I like who I am. And I know the direction I’m going in,” she told People magazine of how her confidence has only grown with age. “There’s an ease that has happened.” Less straightforward is the life shift she faced the month of her birthday, with her eldest daughter, Apple, 18, leaving home for college. “It’s been a major transition. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew it would be hard because Apple and I are so close and were together all the time,” Paltrow – who also shares Moses, 16, with ex-husband Chris Martin, and co-parents husband Brad Falchuk’s kids, Isabella,…

Interview Emily Blunt doesn’t tend to gush about her leading men – unless of course it’s her husband, John Krasinski, with whom she co-starred in A Quiet Place – but she’s making an exception for her latest co-star, Chaske Spencer. Starring together in Prime Video’s six-part western, The English, Spencer is anything but English – instead, a striking 6’ 2” Native American hunk of a man who roared onto the big screen 13 years earlier as werewolf Sam Uley in New Moon, reprising the role throughout The Twilight Saga. “Chaske plays Eli like it’s a Paul Newman role. He’s a big old movie star who’s about to explode onto the scene,” says Blunt, whose aristocratic Lady Cornelia Locke falls deeply in love with Spencer’s Pawnee ex-cavalry scout, Eli Whipp. In…

On the day her 15-year-old twin sister vanished from their Sydney neighbourhood in 1972, Liana Stewart felt certain she would never see her again. The twins had been inseparable from birth and on the day Lynette Melbin disappeared, Liana felt an “emptiness” that plagues her to this day. “It was always just the two of us – we didn’t have many girlfriends because we were always together,” Liana, now 65, tells WHO. “I knew the day that she went missing that she was never coming home.” Fifty years later, Liana holds new hope for answers – and even better, justice – in her sister’s case. NSW Police recently announced a $500,000 reward for information into the disappearance of Lynette, who vanished from Penrith in western Sydney on June 5, 1972.…

Quality versus quantity, light sleep versus deep sleep, and what exactly is REM? For something that we do every night, sleep is a mysterious process. But thanks to technology, we’re gaining more insights that may help those of us who struggle to get a proper night of shut-eye. Sleep expert Dr Carmel Harrington answers your questions! WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I SLEEP? First, it’s helpful to get an idea of what really goes on after we doze off. “Not all sleep is the same, and the different stages that we go through every night help to repair and refresh our brain and body in different ways,” Harrington explains. “These stages are light sleep, deep sleep and REM (also known as dream sleep). All sleep stages are equally important and we cycle…

COCKTAIL As a popular dress-code choice, cocktail is a balance between elegant and comfortable. Think classy and polished. This is your opportunity to wear gorgeous silk and satin materials. Tip For silky styles, try pairing lace-up heels in staple colours like black, brown and nudes to complete your look. FESTIVE Consider this your chance to have fun and play around with bold colours and prints. ‘Festive’ essentially means any colour can be an option, so pick your favourite and make an entrance. Tip To complement your colour palette, try shimmering tones or beaded bags and dance the night away! CASUAL Usually a casual dress code means a laid-back wedding, often held outdoors. This means your outfit can be relaxed, too, full of floral prints and soft colours. SAY I DO!…

So we prime, we conceal, we powder – and repeat. But what if there was a shortcut for our foundation routines? Smoothing our complexions with injectables has become one of the biggest beauty trends in skincare, and treatments like Profhilo (dubbed the “injectable moisturiser”) is now one of the most popular worldwide. Likened to an instant facial and dubbed the “future of skincare” it’s now available in Australia! We asked skin wizard Dr Naomi McCullum from The Manse Clinic, Sydney, why you should have it on your radar. WHAT’S PROFHILO? Many people’s first assumption is that it’s a new form of anti-wrinkle treatment or filler. But as Dr McCullum explains, it’s neither a toxin nor a filler. “It’s an injectable for skin quality improvement and, I think, a game-changing new…

From hanging out with locals to early morning walks and demanding gym sessions, singer Dua Lipa has made herself right at home during her Future Nostalgia Tour around Australia. After kicking off in Melbourne and Brisbane – where she cuddled up to a koala, and fed kangaroos and emus during some free time – the 27-year-old arrived in Sydney and settled into the harbour scene. On November 7, the superfit star had an intense workout with her tour crew at Barry’s Bootcamp, posting a picture on her Instagram story of everyone in the class, captioning the shot, “Barry’s with the gang.” Also on the agenda was a visit to Bondi Icebergs for a bite, and greeting the sunrise with a coastal walk from Bondi to Bronte for the Sculptures by…

Kelly Osbourne marked the moment she entered the delivery room with a “OK, here we go” on social media on November 7. “She’s doing well,” an insider told Page Six, adding that the 38-year-old new mum planned on calling her baby boy Sid after his father, Slipknot rocker Sid Wilson. In the weeks leading up to the baby boy’s arrival, Osbourne made a candid confession about her addiction issues and her impending arrivals. “If you would have told me 365 days ago that I would be sober, happy and about to be a mumma I would have laughed in your face,” Osbourne wrote on Instagram. “Life is truly amazing when you do the work. Thank you to everyone that has supported me on this journey.”…

Actress Molly Bernard, 34, and her wife, producer Hannah Lieberman, 34, are having a baby! Sharing their happy news via Instagram, Bernard posted a carousel of photos of herself with one hand on her bump and the couple together. She said being in love with Lieberman has been one of the highlights of her life to date. “Thrilled to share the very happy news that [Lieberman] and I are expecting our first gayby! We couldn’t be more excited to start our parenthood journey,” Bernard said. “Creating a queer family in a world where LGBTQ+ rights are constantly under threat is a daunting task.” The pair tied the knot in 2021, and on their anniversary Bernard captioned a wedding photo on Instagram, “Happy Anni to my brightest light.

Since its October 21 release, Taylor Swift’s 10th studio album, Midnights, has been smashing records and sending Swifties into a spin as they decipher the singer’s signature cryptic references and abundant Easteregg hidden messages. The singer directly let listeners in on the inspiration behind ‘Lavender Haze’, the opening song on the album, telling her 230 million Instagram followers she thought the phrase “sounded cool” when she first heard it watching an episode of Mad Men. “It turns out that it was a common phrase that was used in the ’50s where they would just describe being in love,” she said, before referencing her six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn. “When you’re in the lavender haze, you’ll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of…

News feature In an explosive hearing, a Sydney court has heard that police are certain of the fate of toddler William Tyrrell, who disappeared from a NSW home eight years ago. On November 3, the court heard that officers confronted the boy’s foster mother last year, telling her they knew how the 3-year-old had died and where he was buried. “We know why, we know how, we know where he is,” NSW Police Sgt Scott Jamieson told the woman. “We aren’t guessing, we aren’t bluffing – we are saying we know what happened and why it happened and where [William’s body] is.” The woman responded, “Why haven’t you got him then?” In one of NSW’s most high-profile cold cases, William disappeared on September 12, 2014 from his foster grandmother’s home…

Celebrity Love is in the air for music icon Cher, 76, who has confirmed her relationship with music producer, Alexander Edwards, 36, via Twitter. “Love knows no math,” she said of their 40-year age gap, and that he was “treating her like a Queen”. In response to fans clamouring for details, the singer simply responded with the heart-eye emoji. Edwards has made headlines in the past for repeatedly cheating on his former girlfriend, model Amber Heard, with whom he shares son Slash Electric Alexander Edwards, 3. Cher’s fan base vocalised their concerns about Edwards’ motives, calling her “naive”. But the ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’ star initially dismissed the comments replying, “I’m in love, not blinded by it.” However, Cher soon seemed to tire of the comments about her…

LOOPER On Kansas-living Sara, Blunt told Entertainment Weekly it was the “best movie I’ve ever been a part of”, adding, “I admired this character a lot. She’s tough and protective, and she has a secret.

Fighting. Disagreements. Arguments. Some of us thrive off them, some of us are indifferent to them and the rest of us would rather eat dog poop from our shoe than engage in any sort of conflict. But one thing we all have in common is that it’s inevitably a part of any relationship because we’re all human. Friction will happen and it’s probably going to be uncomfortable – but relax! We are here to arm you with the knowledge needed to help you through it. Conflict is not necessarily a sign or cause of trouble – in fact it’s an inevitable, normal and even healthy part of any relationship. It’s how you deal with conflict that can be the difference between a positive or negative resolution (unless you’re dealing with…

STATEMENT ARMS Make your profile stand out with a statement-making arm on your next pair of sunnies. Loads of brands are paying close attention to the side of their frames, adding heavy branding or intricate details for that extra-special touch. Alexandra Kerr, head of product for Sunglass Hut ANZ, explains, “Statement arms are key for spring/summer ’22, with sunglass styles such as Miu Miu and Versace all stamping their new-season sunglasses with logos or metal detailing.

WHO IS BALAYAGE SUITABLE FOR? Loved by so many of our favourite celebs, balayage uses patches of light and shade to create multiple dimensions of colour.

Plus, it’s a great alternative for those who are after low-maintenance hair, too. “It’s perfect for clients who can’t commit to coming into a salon every six weeks,” Hadrill explains. BALAYAGE VS HIGHLIGHTS If you love the look of sun-kissed hairstyles minus the damaging UV rays, then this trend is the perfect solution. “Balayage is great for those who are wanting a more natural, lived-in colour,” says Hadrill.

While the Sex and the City reboot won’t air until early 2023, filming is underway in New York City, giving fans a sneak peek at what to expect – especially when it comes to the fashion.

With the cast being spotted filming on the streets, fans have been able to speculate about storylines and wonder why…

who’s news Johnny Depp‘s romance with British lawyer Joelle Rich has reportedly ended before it began. Depp, 59, first began dating Rich, 37, after he won his defamation feud with ex-wife Amber Heard in September of this year. The pair met back in 2018 when Rich was hired to file a libel lawsuit against The Sun, in which the publication had labelled Depp as a “wife beater”. Rich, who recently attended a wedding in Ibiza where Depp was noticeably absent, is reportedly still wrapped up in finalising her divorce from her husband, Jonathan, with whom she shares two children. Depp has reportedly been throwing himself into his music over the past month, and has committed to a UK tour in 2023 with Alice Cooper and the band Hollywood Vampires. With…

Good morning, Vietnam – or should we say, god morgen! Crown Princess Mary of Denmark and her husband, Crown Prince Frederik, recently toured the South-East Asian country in a bid to strengthen business and economic ties. It also marked the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Denmark and Vietnam – and by the looks of things, Mary, 50, and Fred, 54, had a ball. As scandal surrounding her in-laws back in her adopted Denmark simmers down, the Australian-born future queen soaked up the sunshine, the sites and the people of Vietnam. Their first stop was the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, which sits in the middle of Ba Dinh Square. Then it was onto the Presidential Palace for an official welcome by Vietnam’s President, Nguyen Xuân Phúc. The…

For Sydney mum Mel Thomas, violence had always been part of her life, having grown up in a household with an alcoholic, abusive father, then falling into a violent relationship in her teens. “I remember holding my first daughter and saying to my mum, ‘I’ve been having nightmares my whole life about drowning.’ Mum said, ‘Well, that’s because your dad threw you into a pool when you were a baby,’” recalls Mel. “I looked at my daughter and thought, ‘What the hell was going on for my dad to assault my mother and his kids?’” That was the catalyst for Mel wanting to do something. She says, “All I could see was news stories of women and girls that had been abused and killed. I couldn’t unsee it.” In 2013,…

What was the last book you read? Boy Swallows Universe [by Trent Dalton]. I couldn’t put it down. Last thing you learnt about yourself? That I have an inability to let go of my judgement for people who stand right next to the luggage conveyor at the airport. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? Six chicken nuggets for breakfast this morning. Last time you danced in public? Literally three to six times a week onstage. Last time you lost your cool? Last week. I don’t have the correct colour rubbish bin. The garbage people won’t ever take my rubbish. I asked them to please take it. They did not. Cue me at 8am in my PJs in a screaming match with the garbage man. Not my finest hour. What was…
