The 50-year-old officially retired from her acting career back in 2018 to focus on starting a family with husband Benji Madden, 44, with the couple welcoming daughter Raddix, now 3, the following year. However, she was lured back to film this year by Foxx, 55, unaware of the drama that lay ahead. “She hates drama and confrontation,” a source told Daily Mail of Foxx’s recent onset “meltdown”, which saw three people fired from the project. “This is why she retired from the…

Less than a year after its launch, Elsa Pataky’s skincare line Purely Byron has gone into voluntary administration. The brand – co-founded by the self-described “dream team” including the 46-year-old actress, along with chief executive Jacqueline Rosen Weisz, and brand and product director Kate Norbiato – was hoping to showcase Byron Bay to the world. “Purely Byron is my opportunity to combine my love for natural skincare and my love for Byron Bay, which is why I am so proud everything is made right here in Australia using local ingredients,” Pataky said on the company’s website.

The final season of Animal Kingdom may have been done and dusted last year, but it seems two of the show’s stars have kept in touch! Aussie actress Leila George and her former co-star Ben Robson sparked dating rumours after the pair were spotted hitting up a Sydney beach together on two separate occasions recently.

Homegrown star Madeline Stuart is an inspiring individual. Shooting to fame with a healthy eating journey that caught the world’s attention in 2015, the results of which saw her lose 25kg, she chased down her dream of becoming the first professional supermodel with Down syndrome and autism. The 26-year-old is now globally known and has more than 350,000 social media followers. “My favourite thing about modelling is meeting people,” she explains to WHO. “I’m proud to represent my community and I love wearing beautiful clothes!” However, Madeline adds there are drawbacks in her career. “My least favourite thing is the long flights and having my hair done sometimes, if people are not gentle.” Madeline has walked in more than 100 fashion shows across the world, including New York,…

To quote a famous line from Romeo and Juliet, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Since time immemorial, flowers have inspired, comforted and won hearts, so it makes sense that so many of us like having them around! What’s more, science agrees. Psychologist and Headspace App mental health expert Carly Dober says there have been studies to measure the emotional impact flowers have on us. “For example, people given a large bunch of flowers become more positively emotional compared to people who are given money,” she explains. “It was also found that people spend more money in restaurants with flowers, and people get better quicker in hospitals if exposed to flowers.” THE CHEMICAL CONNECTION So why do we have this affinity? “Flowers can make us happy…

MAKE IT WEARABLE With notes of fleshy brown, tonal shades will suit just about all skin types, says Petroni, who recommends tawny rosewood pinks to replace petal picks, or brownish aubergines for a soft take on the classic noir nails. GET MATCHING Matching your nails to your makeup can appear dated, but not so with nudes. This is your moment to colour coordinate your lips and nails for a tone-on-tone look that feels thoroughly modern. PERFECT YOUR SHAPE While any shape nail will work with these fleshy tones, Petroni remains a fan of short and blunt. “I love a short, square nail shape,” she says. The reason: how it makes your hands look. “Short and square elongates the fingers, and is so flattering on hands because it’s sharp, strong and…

For example, right now, Saturn’s passage through your 12th House means you need to work on facing your fears. Develop internal fortitude. Work on emotional resilience. TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 Is someone really, consistently getting on your nerves? It seems like some people were sent to try us, right? Or were they?

What was the last book you read? The book that I’m actually currently reading is The Visiting Privilege by Joy Williams. It’s a collection of short stories that are all quite sad, really. But it’s very moving and it’s very beautifully written. What was the last thing you learnt about yourself? That I’m still pretty self-conscious. Considering how much I’ve embarrassed myself over the years, you’d think I would have built up a thicker skin. What was your last guilty pleasure? Oh, I scrolled through Instagram for two hours today. I do it every day, it’s so messed up. I used to be able to put a timer on it, but I figured out a way to circumvent the timer! When was the last time you lost your cool? Um,…

Succession star Sarah Snook has revealed she is pregnant with her first child, with the actress debuting her growing bump at the hit show’s fourth season premiere on March 20. The 35-year-old, who plays Shiv Roy in the series, proudly modelled her belly in a black jumpsuit – telling reporters that she was 32 weeks along. “It’s exciting! I feel great,” she told Entertainment Tonight. She also revealed that she was pregnant while filming the show’s final season. “I mean, you couldn’t super tell,” she explained. “Because it’s not super big, at least at the moment.” The baby will be Snook’s first child with husband Dave Lawson, who she tied the knot with in 2021 after falling in love at the start of the pandemic.…

who’s news Despite being labelled one of Hollywood’s hottest couples, Tom Holland and Zendaya remain surprisingly down-to-earth. The pair were a picture of domestic bliss on a trip to Waitrose in London on March 15 to grab a trolley of groceries. Yet one young fan’s spidey senses were tingling when she spotted the superhero star, who happily posed for a photo. Zendaya, who starred alongside Holland in the Spider-Man franchise as his love interest, MJ, seemed happy to watch from the sidelines and stay with the shopping. It was on the set of the first of those movies, Spider-Man: Homecoming, in 2016 that the couple met. While they initially denied rumours of a romance for many years, once they were caught on camera having a smooch in 2021,…

GERRY GELTCH Pilot Geltch is the oldest contestant to ever play Australian Survivor. “It was a great opportunity to meet some amazing people, push through age boundaries and preconceptions, and above all to reach top four and make my family proud,” he says. Missing his family, and enduring the rain and cold at night in Samoa was difficult, Geltch says, but he was motivated to stick with it in order to win $500,000 prize money. “If I win, I’ll use the cash to support my family’s aviation business, Air Fraser, which is struggling post-COVID,” he says. “Aviation’s in our blood.” GEORGE MLADENOV Fan favourite ‘King’ George Mladenov plans to clear his parents’ mortgages and treat himself to the “best holiday ever” if he wins, after falling short to Hayley Leake…

Alicia Kozakiewicz’s childhood was nothing short of perfect. The bright, blue-eyed, blonde-haired teenager from the Pennsylvanian city of Pittsburgh adored her stay-at-home mum, Mary, who was always there for Alicia and her older brother, Chuck. And considering the nine-year age gap, as far as siblings go, Alicia and Chuck got along well. Then there was her dad, Charles. Despite working long hours to provide for his family, he was the model husband and father, and never missed cherished family time. “My childhood was filled with so much love and fun,” Alicia recalls, sharing her story on the BBC Radio 4 show,I Simply Vanished. “It was idyllic.” But on New Year’s Day 2002, the unimaginable happened that shattered the world of the innocent, helpless young girl forever. The year before, when…

GENTLE TOOLS We should know by now that using the wrong brush can tug on delicate hairs and pull them out, exacerbating hair loss. A tool like The Mother hairbrush by Happy Hairbrush ($79.95, happyhairbrush.com.au) is ideal. The soft bristles glide through hair and stimulate follicles. Also, avoid brushing wet strands as they are more prone to shedding. NOURISH FROM WITHIN According to UK-based trichologist Hannah Gaboardi, supplements are vital for hair regrowth. It can be down to anything from the body lacking nutrients like zinc, biotin, iron and collagen. Aede Hair Activist Supplements ($80, aede.com.au) include nutrients needed to encourage hair growth, as well as biotin (vitamin B7) and niacin (vitamin B3), which improve scalp health by boosting blood circulation and relieving irritation and flaking. We all know that…

who’s news It’s been five long years since Taylor Swift has toured, but it only took a few seconds after the pop princess hit the stage for the opening night of her Eras tour for fans to realise it was well worth the wait. Kicking things off in Glendale, Arizona – or ‘Era-zona’, as loyal Swifties endearingly dubbed it for the night – on March 17, the 33-year-old started things strong with a number of hits from her album, Lover, which she was unable to perform on tour in 2020 due to the start of the pandemic. “I can’t even go into how much I’ve missed you,” Swift told fans. The star had promised the show would be “a journey through all of my musical eras” and she certainly delivered,…

Foxtel executive and media industry leader Brian Walsh died suddenly on March 16 in Sydney, aged 68. Famous friends and fans of Walsh led an outpouring of grief for the man who spent his life entertaining TV audiences and fostering the careers of a litany of international stars. Nicole Kidman described him as “family to us”, while radio host Ben Fordham said Walsh was “always looking out for others and looking for opportunities for other people”.

Attending the 95th Academy Awards on March 12, Cara Delevingne stunned in a scarlet gown by Elie Saab. The fashion triumph saw her top many best-dressed lists on the heels of the headlines she generated after revealing in a Vogue cover story that she was four months sober following a rehab stint. “I’m enjoying [sobriety],” she told the magazine. “It’s one of my favourite things to, like, go out and dance and have a good time, but actually have deep conversations and connections with people.” During the Oscars she did just that, ducking out of the ceremony to the lobby bar with Florence Pugh, with a source telling Page Six that she opted for a cranberry and soda water when the bartender poured her a cocktail by mistake. “Hard times…

Not only were they married at first sight, but so far it looks like it was love at first sight for this year’s youngest bride and groom, PR manager Tahnee Cook, 27, and voice-over artist Ollie Skelton, 26. The smitten MAFS couple sat down with WHO to talk about their time in the experiment... At what moment did you realise you both had strong feelings for one another? SKELTON: We were lucky enough to be drawn to each other quite early. We tried to not get too far ahead of ourselves with our feelings because we knew that we would be going on a journey that was really going to test us. COOK: We were both surprised at having that instant spark and attraction. I was expecting the worst, so…

This May will mark two decades since the finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired, and while the show’s star Sarah Michelle Gellar remains proud of the popular series, she does have one gripe about mentioning the milestone. “People love to remind me that it [has been] 20 years,” Gellar, 45, told TV host Graham Norton of the supernatural show, which ran for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003. “I love that people still reference it, but I don’t need the actual date and passage of time so people realise how old I am!” Although never far from the cultural zeitgeist (#buffy has nearly 450 million views on TikTok), Gellar has been relatively quiet on the professional front in recent years. Now, however, she is getting back to work. Following…

ELIZABETH SMART In 2002, a 14-year-old Smart was taken at knifepoint from her bed in Salt Lake City by self-described prophet, Brian David Mitchell. Hiding her in a remote mountain campsite, Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee, chained Smart up and repeatedly raped her over the nine months she was held captive. Smart was rescued thanks to a stranger who saw the teen wearing a wig, scarf, sunglasses and “a look that I’ll never forget” with her captors at a Burger King. He tipped off the police, who were able to stop them as they were leaving a Walmart. DAVINE ARCKENS After replying to an ad for farm work in February 2017, Arckens was lured to Gene Bristow’s property in South Australia, where she was attacked and chained up in…

Whether you’re perimenopausal, in full-blown menopause or just a woman who’s curious about what’s to come, chances are you’re aware of changes you’re going through as you age. And as you reach menopause, you should know that meno brain – the brain fog associated with reaching menopausal age – is real! But, says GP Dr Ginni Mansberg, there are some things you can do to help matters. WHAT DO PERIMENOPAUSE AND MENOPAUSE HAVE TO DO WITH THE BRAIN? Naturally, lots of women who see me are experiencing brain fog and are terrified about what this means for their brains. Is this the beginnings of a dementing process? Alzheimer’s disease is exceptionally rare at the time most women go through menopause and peri, so it is unlikely to be anything more…

Cargo is a newbie on the block and it’s safe to say we are shopping up a storm. It’s no longer just about the Y2K low-slung pants and instead is moving into a new territory of high-waist denim, cute miniskirts and even overshirts.

Yep, cargo is perhaps one of the easiest trends to try. Wondering where to start? I’m here to show you how you can work it different ways for a variety of occasions!

1 STRONG START Ditched the acrylics or gels for good? Your natural nails may well feel weak or brittle, so one of the best ways to keep them in tip top condition is to steer clear of acetone. Tracey Winder, National Trainer at Mavala, explains, “Acetone is the most efficient ingredient to remove nail polish swiftly and efficiently. However, it can be especially drying on nails, so limit exposure or opt for a non-acetone version.” Instead, use an acetone-free formula and regularly use a strengthening polish. 2 CUTICLE CARE The pandemic made us up our hand-washing game, but our constant use of sanitiser means we’re stripping the oils from our skin and nails. To combat this, try applying cuticle oils and serums to strengthen. Winder says, “Keep cuticles hydrated with…

Credited to Allyssa Marshall, or Alice in the Kitchen as she’s known on TikTok, it couldn’t be any simpler. Just pop a few slices of fresh jalapeño into a glass of your favourite rosé and – BOOM! – spicy rosé. We like Swanning Around Prosecco Rosé for a bit of fizz. The bright acidity and delicate cherry red notes pair beautifully with the kick from the jalapeño. Swanning Around is available from Liquorland, 750ml, $16.
