Celebrity feuds don’t come much bigger or nastier than Sarah Jessica Parker versus Kim Cattrall. I’m still shocked that Sex and the City’s on-screen besties are bitter enemies in real life. Which is why it came as a complete shock to learn that, after refusing to have anything to do with the first season of spin-off series And Just Like That…, Cattrall has now agreed to appear in Season 2 (premiering on June 22). Why did she really change her mind and what are her strict conditions? Find out on page 16. Another feud that shows no sign of settling down is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s. Their drama has lasted way longer than their actual two-year marriage. Find out what’s caused their latest war of words on page 24.…

While many have celebrated justice finally being served, Folbigg’s ex-husband and father of the four children, Craig, has “not changed his view” and remains convinced of her guilt despite the inquiry findings. “He is frustrated and disappointed he has to endure yet another chapter,” his solicitor, Danny Eid, told The Daily Telegraph after her release. “This is a man people say will heal over time. But with all this time, the wounds continue to bleed for him.” Craig was the one to hand over several of Folbigg’s diaries to police during the original investigation, saying that it was those documents that made him suspect her. He gave evidence against his ex-wife at her 2003 trial, but later refused to provide a DNA sample to scientists examining genetic sequencing, and has…

Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank have welcomed their second child, another baby boy. Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank was born on May 30 weighing 3.2 kilograms, with the 33-year-old mum delivering the news alongside a sweet snap of the sleeping newborn wearing a knitted blue-and-white hat on her Instagram page. “He is named after his great great great Grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald,” Eugenie revealed of his traditional moniker. The daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, also shared an adorable picture of her first child, 2-year-old August, greeting his baby brother for the first time. “Augie is loving being a big brother already,” she added. The newest member of the royal family, whose title will be Master Brooksbank like his…

who’s news After a years-long, and mostly one-sided, public feud, most Sex and the City fans thought it would be a cold day in hell before Kim Cattrall agreed to reprise her iconic role as Samantha Jones alongside Sarah Jessica Parker. So naturally, there was utter shock and awe when it was confirmed that the star will be back for the second season of the spin-off, And Just Like That. Cattrall, 66, is returning to the series for one “cliffhanger” scene, which the actress secretly shot on March 22 in New York City without seeing or speaking to Parker, fellow leading ladies Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, or showrunner Michael Patrick King. While whispers of a feud between the actresses have rumbled on since the show’s – and…

In November 2022, the American Film Institute (AFI) Board of Trustees announced that Nicole Kidman would receive the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award, the highest honour for a film career. She is set to be the first Australian actor to receive the accolade and joins a star-studded roster of previous recipients, including Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Robert De Niro. No stranger to award shows, Kidman, 55, is a five-time Academy Award nominee – earning an Oscar for Best Actress for The Hours – and has won a BAFTA Award, six Golden Globes and two Emmys. In 2017, she raised eyebrows with her acceptance speech for her role in Big Little Lies. “I have two little girls — Sunnie and Faith. And my darling Keith, who I asked to help…

In a world where happy endings can be few and far between, a real-life fairytale played out in the manicured grounds of Zahran Palace on June 1 as Rajwa Al Saif started the day as a commoner, but ended it as a bona fide princess. In an opulent ceremony attended by foreign royals and international dignitaries, the Saudi Arabian architect wed the future king of Jordan, Crown Prince Hussein. Looking elegant in a fitted demure white gown with an asymmetrical neckline by Elie Saab, the 29-year-old bride kept to local tradition and was escorted down the aisle by her groom’s younger brother, Prince Hashem. The betrothed couple gazed into each other’s eyes as they sat facing one another while exchanging rings and vows in the heartfelt ceremony steeped in meaningful…

After years of public feuding, it seems Britney Spears and her mother Lynne have finally reached a truce. On May 24, the 68-year-old paid a long-awaited visit to the singer’s Hollywood home after years of estrangement, with insiders revealing the pair have been “texting more frequently” of late. “My sweet mama showed up at my door step yesterday after 3 years … it’s been such a long time,” Britney shared on Instagram the following day, alongside a throwback snap of herself as a child. “With family there’s always things that need to be worked out … but time heals all wounds !!! … Psss… I’m so blessed we can have coffee together after 14 years !!! Let’s go shopping afterwards !!!” While the meet-up may have only lasted 30 minutes,…

Contrary to our reputation, most Australians are city slickers, with around 86 per cent of the population living in urban areas. However, as the daily bustle draws us increasingly away from nature, we’re also starting to realise it’s something we all need. Dr Katherine Barraclough is a physician and member of Doctors for the Environment, a not-for-profit organisation that recognises that our natural environment is essential for protecting human health. “Evidence is growing that when we spend time in nature, it can improve our physical and mental health, and general sense of wellbeing,” she explains. Some experts even believe that our affinity for plants is inherent, a concept which is known as biophilia. “Biophilia means a love of nature, but also a bit more,” Dr Barraclough says. “It refers to…

1. UP YOUR SLEEVE Instead of rolled-up sleeves with added bling, the runway saw bangles and bracelets worn over the top of clothes for an interesting layering element. Whether you try it to dress up a night-time look, or refresh the way you scrunch your sleeves, it’s perfect timing for winter. 2. UNTIED Drawstrings and belts were left undone and understated this year. Rather than tying a bow with any waist ties, simply knot and leave it to drop for added texture and movement. When it comes to left-over length from belts, let it hang like those at the Wynn Hamlyn show. 3. DROP IT LOW Forget high waists – the slightly lower rise is here for a flattering look that’s comfortable and chic. From super low to just a…

Just like your eyes can give away how many hours of kip you got last night, they’re also a billboard for revealing your birth date – even when you want no-one else to know! If appearing more youthful and energised is something you want, there are a few treatments and topicals for around your peepers that can help. Rachael Birch, owner of Rachael Louise Medispa in Sydney, tells us how. UNDER THE SKIN PRP Quickly becoming one of Birch’s most popular treatments, PRP is used as a natural alternative to anti-ageing injections like fillers and muscle relaxers. “It uses your own blood platelets that are injected back into the skin around your eyes to rejuvenate and strengthen the delicate skin from within,” she says. “A course of three treatments (spaced…

For 20 years, Kathleen Megan Folbigg has languished in jail, branded Australia’s worst female serial killer after being convicted of the unthinkable crime of killing her four infant children. But on June 5, she walked out of the gates of the Clarence Correctional Centre in Grafton a free woman to begin her new life out of the shadow of that terrible title. “I am so elated, it is not funny. And I am nervous and I’m everything,” Folbigg said to Nine News after her release. “I’m still like, ‘Is this even happening? Oh, my God.’” After decades of Folbigg protesting her innocence, NSW Attorney General Michael Daley announced an unconditional pardon for the 55-year-old after receiving an advanced report on an inquiry into her convictions. “She has now been pardoned,”…

A month after the shock death of MasterChef Australia judge Jock Zonfrillo, his widow Lauren Fried has revealed the chef left behind a massive amount of work which she hopes to share with the world. “He’s got a lot of behind the scenes interviews and photos from MasterChef. He’s got books, a fashion range. He’s got spirits ageing in a distillery in Tassie. He’s got a TV show he filmed in Italy last year with the family,” she said in an emotional Instagram post on his account on June 4. Still raw with grief, Fried shared she wished her husband “knew how loved he was, that he knew the impact he had on so many people” and was considering what to do with his social media account and what material…

Tallulah Willis has given an equally heartbreaking as it is heartwarming update on her father Bruce, as the Hollywood actor continues his battle with frontotemporal dementia. The 29-year-old opened up about her famous father in an essay for Vogue, admitting she knew “something was wrong for a long time”. “It started out with a kind of vague unresponsiveness, which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss: ‘Speak up! Die Hard messed with Dad’s ears,’” Tallulah wrote. “Later that unresponsiveness broadened, and I sometimes took it personally … I thought he’d lost interest in me.” Tallulah also admitted the realisation that her father wouldn’t be able to speak at her future wedding was “devastating” but that she is trying to make the most of their time together. “I’m trying to…

After a long investigation, it’s been announced that Armie Hammer will not be charged following sexual assault accusations. Police began investigating the Call Me By Your Name star, 36, in 2021 after a woman, known only as Effie, alleged he had raped her, slammed her head against a wall, and subjected her to other violence. However, now police have determined they have “insufficient evidence” to charge Hammer with a crime. “Due to the complexity of the relationship and inability to prove a non-consensual, forcible sexual encounter, we are unable to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt,” the District Attorney’s office said in a statement. Soon after, Hammer, who has always maintained that he had engaged in “consensual” sexual acts with his former lover, took to Instagram to thank the…

WELLNESS It’s safe to say that we’re getting lonelier. One in four adults in Australia now describe themselves as feeling lonely on a regular basis. What’s behind this increase? “There are many causes of loneliness, including bereavement, relationship breakdown, experiencing discrimination or having a highly demanding caring role,” says UK psychologist Dr Meg Arroll. “Retiring, changing jobs or moving home can also cause us to feel disconnected. Indeed, most major life transitions can lead to loneliness in the beginning, but it’s when these feelings continue over a period of time that it becomes a cause for concern. “For loneliness to become a chronic issue, the general feeling of disconnect from others turns into symptoms akin to anxiety. This can include social anxiety, depression, insomnia, low self-worth and a heightened stress…

From matching jeans and shirts, to skirts and tops in all shades and washes, it’s a wearable style worth trying this winter.

Nothing quite beats a fresh bunch of flowers, but it can be disappointing to see them perish after only a few short days. But it doesn’t have to be all bloom and doom – there are a few simple hacks that can prolong plant life. Kowsh Rawson, co-founder of floral design studio Kiko Design, shares her top tips on how to help your flowers last longer. 1. CLEAN THE STEMS “Ensure that all foliage is removed from the stems that will sit below the water line,” Rawson advises. “Foliage immersed in water will encourage bacteria.” 2. RE-CUT THE STEMS Rawson explains this rarely done step is crucial and effective. “Once flowers are brought back to your home, unwrap and cut one or two centimetres off the stems and place them…

Wine is in your blood. Did you ever consider doing anything else? Yes and no. Growing up so closely in the family business, I had a strong sense of exploring all options so as not to pursue the obvious. I remember looking into a diversity of university options, including engineering, architecture, science and arts/languages. In the end nothing seemed to have a better fit than an oenology degree. So, I went along on day one and haven’t looked back. What’s it like working so closely with your family? So far, so good! I think the key is that we bring different skills and aren’t trying to do each other’s jobs. My brother and I are also constantly tasting and exploring new wines together, which gives a strong purpose moving forward…

Just as everyone was starting to get used to the idea of Taylor Swift’s romance with The 1975’s Matt Healy, it seems it’s all over. After a month of dating, Swift is said to be single again, with the couple reportedly struggling to find time for each other in their busy schedules. “Taylor and Matty broke up,” a source tells Entertainment Tonight. “They are both extremely busy and realised they’re not really compatible with each other. Taylor’s friends want what’s best for her and aren’t shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship.” Swift, 33, kicked off her The Eras world tour in March, around the same time she ended her six-year stint with Joe Alwyn. Swifties weren’t happy with their idol’s dalliance…

Al Pacino is set to become a father for the fourth time, at the ripe old age of 83! The actor is expecting a baby with his girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 29, who he has been linked to since April last year. Pacino is said to have been “shocked” when he found out about the pregnancy two months ago and “demanded a DNA test”, which proved he is the dad. Pacino’s news comes just weeks after it was revealed that his fellow The Irishman star, Robert De Niro, 79, had also welcomed his seventh child. “He’s a few years older than me. God bless him. Very happy for him,” De Niro recently shared of pal Pacino. The Godfather star already shares daughter Julie Marie, 33, with his ex-girlfriend, acting coach Jan…

For 12 years, Natalie Portman and her husband Benjamin Millepied have appeared one of Hollywood’s most solid couples, after meeting on the set of Black Swan in 2009. But their decade-long union is now said to be on thin ice, following reports that the choreographer indulged in an affair with a much younger woman. The pair, who tied the knot back in 2012, are reportedly battling to save their marriage after his alleged extramarital liaison – with a source telling People magazine the tryst “was short-lived” and is now “over”. “They have not split and are trying to work things out,” another source told Page Six. “Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family.” News of the reported affair hit…

Once upon a time, in 2008, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt purchased a controlling interest in Château Miraval, a lush estate in the South of France, featuring a 35-room mansion with a moat, a vineyard and a chapel – where they would later marry in front of their six children. In 2013, they began producing a Miraval Rosé, an award-winning drop bursting with notes of raspberry, wild strawberries, citrus and melon. But the romantic fairytale soured and Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, two years after they wed, after an alleged fight on their private jet. Despite the passage of time, the war rages on in one of Hollywood’s ugliest splits. On June 1, Pitt filed a new complaint to his 2022 civil suit against her, alleging Jolie’s sale of…

Known as the silent grief, miscarriage is the heartbreak that is often endured in isolation. Because it’s rarely talked about, many people aren’t aware of how common it actually is. One in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, and it affects 10 to 15 per cent of women who already knew that they were pregnant. Author and Australian Birth Stories podcaster Sophie Walker says that the taboo around miscarriages means that many parents suffer in silence. At the same time, it creates a lack of social awareness that leads to myths and misunderstandings. “There are tens of thousands of women each year who are navigating the shock and grief of miscarriage in silence. And at a time when they desperately need physical and emotional support, they often do it alone,” she…
