As pregnancy reveals go, I thought Beyoncé’s announcement onstage at the 2011 VMA’s would take some beating. Step up Rihanna at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The “is she, isn’t she” chatter reached fever pitch here in WHO’s office while we took a break to watch her performance. So when the news came through shortly afterwards that the ‘Umbrella’ singer was in fact expecting her second child, just nine months after the arrival of her first, I was impressed. Who else could perform for millions while suspended from a swaying platform – and potentially fend off morning sickness – at the same time? Find out all about Rihanna’s surprise pregnancy and her incredible show from page 14. Speaking of babies, Sam Frost’s fiancé, Survivor star Jordie Hansen has…

Celebrity I t’s one of the biggest events on the sporting calendar every year, but as Adele so poetically put it, “I’m going just for Rihanna. I don’t give a flying f--k.” And Rihanna certainly didn’t disappoint as the musical guest for the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show, stealing headlines as she made her hotly anticipated return to the stage while also revealing she is pregnant again. The singer, 34, hit the stage at Arizona’s State Farm Stadium for the legendary performance slot halfway through the match between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. Descending from above the stadium on a floating platform, Rihanna showed off a hint of a baby bump in a tight red bodysuit as she began her banger set with ‘B--ch Better Have My…

By anyone’s standards, it’s been a big year. Two stints on gruelling reality TV show Australian Survivor, an engagement and a shock pregnancy all factor for this ‘villain’ contender. But Jordie Hansen, who’s expecting his first child with fellow reality TV star Sam Frost “any day now”, is taking it all in his stride. “It’s been wild, I’ve had the most amazing year ever,” he tells WHO. “If it wasn’t for this show, I would never have the life I have now.” You’re currently competing on the Heroes v Villains season of Survivor (filmed late last year) and you were part of 2022’s Blood V Water competition. Why did you return to the show so soon? I had to do this season for my family. Winning $500,000 would be a…

Two years after he was essentially blacklisted from Hollywood after sexual misconduct allegations were made against him, Armie Hammer has broken his silence. In a tell-all interview with Air Mail on February 4, the 36-year-old addressed the scandal that saw him dropped from film projects and ended his marriage to wife Elizabeth Chambers – insisting that while he is not guilty of any criminal conduct (an investigation is still ongoing), he was “one million per cent” emotionally abusive. “I had a very intense and extreme lifestyle,” he revealed. “I would scoop up these women, bring them into it – into this whirlwind of travel and sex and drugs and big emotions flying around – and then as soon as I was done, I’d just drop them off and move on…

The online world has dramatically evolved over the years. But there is a darker side to our digital lives, particularly when it comes to dating. Apps such as Bumble, Hinge and Tinder may connect singletons across the globe, but in some shocking cases, sometimes swiping right can lead to danger. How well can you really get to know someone over a device, and how safe does that make your in-person dates? According to a survey conducted by the Australian Institute of Criminology in October 2022, three-quarters of respondents had been subjected to sexual violence on dating apps within the past five years. Fifty per cent of victims said that they were unmatched or blocked by the perpetrator to avoid being caught. With no criminal history checks currently in place on…

Ah, February. While many of us start each new year promising ourselves this one won’t be as stressful as the last, now is often the time when work, family commitments and life in general start to speed up again. If overwhelm is starting to rear its head, now may be time for some self-care. Holistic health expert and founder of Kamalaya Koh Samui, Karina Stewart, says that when we burn the candle at both ends, we can send our adrenal glands into overdrive – leading to an overproduction of the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. “For many of us, our adrenals are working overtime in a constant state of fight or flight response. This creates a tremendous amount of energy and produces a lot of cortisol, which over time contributes…

UP YOUR ARM CANDY First up, it’s time to let your accessories take centrestage. “Functional doesn’t need to be boring, so have some fun with your day bag. There were fringed styles at Victoria Beckham, ruffled clutches at Dries Van Noten and feathers at Jil Sander,” explains Cutts. CLASSIC COURTS Think about investing in shoes that are a mix of class and comfort. “We’re definitely seeing a return to the classic work shoe,” Cutts notes. “Ticking both the elegance and style box, these are a great wardrobe staple for all seasons.” LOW-RISE ERA Switch your high-waisted styles for a slightly lower waistband this season. Cutts says, “Low-slung, baggy pants are on their way back in thanks to Stella McCartney. Think midriffs on show and hung on the hips.” HOLLY’S TAKE…

If you don’t want to spend loads of money on products you’ll need to re-purchase a few times a year, we’ve done the homework. Here’s our top 10 brands that offer high impact results for low prices.

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 This is the week to do some proper soul searching. It’s the right time to commit to a friendship (if it’s good) or to just let it all go (if it’s gone toxic). Talk things through with someone you care about or have a word with yourself if you’re involved with someone who is breaking your heart. It’s time to decide who’s really worth it. TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 As your ruling planet Venus harmonises with other planets, it’s hard to see a bad side to your current astrology. Venus is in great shape and meeting mysterious and romantic Neptune. The stage is set for a love dream to come true – unless, of course, you’ve put all your hopes into someone who isn’t being honest…

Sarah Jessica Parker has left And Just Like That… fans scratching their heads, after sharing what appears to be a major spoiler for the show’s upcoming second season. The actress, 57, posted an on-set snap of herself (as Carrie Bradshaw) and her co-star John Corbett, 61, (aka Aidan Shaw) locking lips. “This. Is. Not. A. Drill,” she wrote alongside it. The post left the internet ablaze, with fans appearing to have very mixed feelings about a romantic reunion between the characters. Some were very much down for the pair to get back together, after they were engaged in Season 4 of Sex and the City, but split for a second time when Carrie cheats on Aidan with Mr Big. “Please don’t play with our emotions like this,” one wrote. “Stop…

AUSTRALIAN IDOL Things are far from harmonious on the set of Australian Idol, with the rift between judges Kyle Sandilands and Harry Connick Jr. widening in recent weeks. The radio host, 51, admitted that he’s no longer on speaking terms with the singer, 55, after he became upset when one of Sandilands’ KISS FM co-workers jokingly auditioned for the show. A video shared to the Australian Idol Instagram page showed ‘Intern Pete’ Deppeler, who was in disguise, performing awkwardly for the judges. And speaking on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the shock jock revealed that Connick Jr. is a “serious” man and “not into jokes”, and reportedly stormed off when he realised it was a prank. “Harry stood up and said, ‘Oh my God, we’re better than this,’ and…

If there’s one thing Kylie Jenner is not thinking about right now, it’s her ex Travis Scott. The businesswoman looked carefree during a recent holiday to her favourite destination, the Turks and Caicos Islands. The mum of two took some time to recharge following the end of her on-again, off-again relationship with rapper Scott, 30, who is the father of her two children, Stormi, 5, and Aire, 1. The pair split earlier this year after dating for almost six years. While neither has spoken openly about the reasons for the split, Scott was absent from the celebrations of their kids’ birthdays recently and didn’t accompany Jenner to Aspen for the Christmas holidays either. The makeup mogul admits she works hard to stay fit, especially as she has two young children…

Ask a woman what she hates about her body, and she’s likely to answer quickly and with a list a mile long. Ask that same woman what she loves about her body, and she’ll pause and have to think about it. Women have been conditioned since they’re born that the most interesting and important thing about them is how they look. Friends and family will tell little girls how pretty they are rather than how smart or strong they are. There are billion-dollar industries, including weight loss, beauty and fashion that feed on our insecurities to sell us their products. And I was no different – I, too, hated my fat body and tried diets, lotions, and potions to try and ‘fix’ it. Thankfully, things are slowly starting to change.…

Tip Keep in mind the two-item rule when styling up this wardrobe staple – it’s all it needs. A simple tee and sneakers are a great combo for casual work places and running errands. Tip A quick styling tip for linen trousers at night is to style with a matching top and tie a pair of wrap-up sandals over the hem of your trousers to create a different-shaped pant. Tip Find a pair of linen trousers that aren’t too see-through and one with a fixed waistband so they can work for the beach or bar. TOP NEUTRAL PICKS Keep it neutral when picking linen pants. Go for black, white or a light camel to start and add in a few pastels on rotation.…

Last thing you learnt about yourself? My skinny jeans days are behind me. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? Watching any reality show set on a boat. Below Deck is like a class A drug to me. What is it about going on water that makes people monsters? It’s fantastic. Last time you danced in public? Veeery drunk at a friend’s wedding recently. The DJ inexplicably was playing ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ on January 14. Last time you lost your cool? I would say I live my life constantly teetering ever so close to a full breakdown. What was the last meal you cooked? I made a little carbonara the other night. It’s just the greatest. The ingredients of carbonara sitting on your bench make you feel…

who’s news Congratulations to Younger star Molly Bernard and her wife Hannah Lieberman, who welcomed a “healthy, gentle and sassy baby girl” into their lives on January 28. “We are overjoyed and more in love than we ever imagined,” wrote the 34-year-old on Instagram alongside their first family photos. “It’s been a gorgeous two-week whirlwind adjusting to parenthood and it’s the coolest club we’ve ever been in. Hannah and I want to stay in our new family cocoon of diapers and milk and snuggles and eat every second of it up for as long as possible.” Sharing the highs and the lows of these early days, Bernard revealed, “My nips are sore, oxytocin is high, MOMS RULE.” BLAKE’S SURPRISE! And then they were six! Blake Lively, 35, and Ryan Reynolds,…

who’s news We ‘Should Be So Lucky’, because pop Icon Kylie Minogue has landed on home soil and is preparing to headline the Live and Proud: Sydney WorldPride Opening Concert.“For the first time, WorldPride is coming to the Southern Hemisphere,” Minogue said during an interview. “YES! I’m so excited to announce that I will be performing at the opening concert in Sydney on February 24, 2023 at The Domain. Can’t wait to see you there!” The concert couldn’t have come at a better time for the Australian princess of pop, 54, a welcome distraction from her recent breakup with her beau of five years, Paul Solomons, 47. News of the split comes after the singer made the decision to move back to Australia last year, sans Solomons. Despite…

DYLAN’S FAMILY PLAN For Dylan Alcott, kids have always been on his life agenda. “I wants twins,” the three-time Paralympian gold medallist and celebrated tennis icon exclaims on reality show, Big Miracles. While his partner of four years, Chantelle Otten, isn’t so keen on the thought of double trouble, she admits that she’d love to start a family with her long-time beau. “I can picture having kids with Dyl,” she tells. “It’s something that we talk about all the time.” However, with both having busy careers – Alcott as a motivational speaker and radio host, and Otten as a sexologist – the pair, both 32, have turned to egg freezing in order to keep their family planning options open. “We’re like, ‘In two years we’ll have kids,’” Otten explains on…

Seek out white floral notes such as peonies, jasmine and tuberose, then make it fresh and light with fruit notes this summer.

Take your pick of the new (and very boujee) season crop.…

Ever wanted to cancel your gym membership after the first month? Then you know that grand plans to revamp your health can easily go awry. That’s why we’re so keen on tiny health tweaks! Studies show you’re likely to benefit most from manageable lifestyle adjustments made over a longer period than diving into a health program that lasts just a few weeks. “For any healthy change to be effective, it has to be small, achievable and easy,” says medical educator Dr Ronald McCoy. “It also has to be something you can do regularly, because it’s the accumulation of benefits over time that makes a difference.” Here are five health tweaks really worth trying. WALK AT PUFFING PACE Whether you’re strolling to the shops or coming home from the bus stop,…

1. WASH LESS FREQUENTLY According to McKnight, healthy hair starts with your hair washing routine. He recommends against “shampooing too often” and to use “a soap-free, high-quality wash when you do”. Why? Well, sulphate-free formulas help to maintain “your hair’s natural oils without stripping them away”. 2. LEAVE IN CONDITIONER With the clean-girl aesthetic keeping us all firmly in a chokehold and subsequently our hair slicked back into tight buns, McKnight advises using leave-in conditioners for the job. “Good quality leave-in conditioners are great if you’re slicking your hair, instead of using harsh and drying gels or waxes,” he explains. 3. HEAT PROTECTANT It may seem like a no-brainer, but apparently folks are still out there heat styling sans a heat protectant. Listen to McKnight’s advice please: “Using a heat…
