Almost five years to the day since the incredible Thai cave rescue, another story of survival, also involving kids, causes my eyes to water every time I read about it – four Colombian kids were found alive in the jungle, 40 days after a plane crash. It’s a story as astounding as it is tragic. Find out how the siblings were rescued in our report on page 24. It’s also three decades since The Full Monty was released. So when I heard that Robert Carlyle, who played the entrepreneurial Gaz in the film, had reunited with co-stars to create a follow-up TV series, I added it to my “binge immediately” list. Find out why he returned to that role – and how fame has affected him – on…

After taking a break from Hollywood when he found out he was genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease, Chris Hemsworth was back on the red carpet on June 9 as he attended the premiere of Extraction 2 in Berlin. The actor, 39, filmed the Netflix movie in late 2021, before announcing his career was taking a back-seat to family life in November 2022 amid his health diagnosis. “Everything has more importance now, because of the realisation that this isn’t going to last forever,” the star told British GQ magazine. Hemsworth has spent the last seven months prioritising spending time with his wife Elsa Pataky, 46, daughter India, 11, and 9-year-old twin boys, Tristan and Sasha. He has also been dealing with the recent passing of his grandfather, Martin, who…

who’s news Since first being spotted together late last year, Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid have had people constantly guessing about the status of their relationship with their cat and mouse-style dating. But the pair have given fans the surest sign that things are getting serious between them – with the model meeting the megastar’s parents! The actor, 48, was spotted on his way to London restaurant, China Tang, from the Chiltern Firehouse hotel with his father George and stepmother, Peggy Farrar, on June 6 – with Hadid, 28, discreetly following in their footsteps just minutes later. The double date came days after DiCaprio once again threw fans off the scent, after being spotted in Ibiza with model Meghan Roche, and one day before the actor dined with his mum,…

Celebrity TONY AWARDS 2023 While the Oscars, Grammy and Emmy Awards are a tough act to follow, it was time for the last letter of the elusive EGOT to break a leg and get the show on the road! The 76th Annual Tony Awards, which celebrates the best of theatre, took place at New York’s United Palace on June 11. Jessica Chastain – nominated for Best Leading Actress of a Play for A Doll’s House – stunned in a dazzling yellow Gucci gown, while Lupita Nyong’o put on a jawdropping display as she flaunted her assets in a custom silver breastplate. Despite this year’s ceremony being impacted by the ongoing writers’ strike in the US, host Ariana DeBose kicked things off with a fantastic opening number, proving there’s no business…

Almost three decades ago, a low-budget British film hit cinemas and conquered the world. The Full Monty earned over $300 million dollars at the box office, spawned a successful stage musical and made its unassuming lead, Robert Carlyle, insanely famous overnight. “It was madness,” Carlyle, 62, tells WHO. “I had no privacy at all. I never set out to be a big movie star.” But Carlyle, who has also starred in films including Trainspotting, 28 Weeks Later and Yesterday, isn’t complaining. “I love [my character] Gaz. He was the perfect character at the perfect time for me.” Now it seems that the time is right for nice guy Gaz once more. Carlyle and his original cast mates, Mark Addy (Dave), Hugo Speer (Guy) and Paul Barber (Horse) – along with…

Speaking in a recent interview, Lily Allen revealed the news she had been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). “It sort of runs in my family,” explained the 38-year-old star, confirming she had joined a growing list of women who are being diagnosed as adults. While ADHD was once considered a condition affecting children, we now know that it continues into adulthood, and many people are now being diagnosed in their 30s, 40s or 50s. “There is a greater awareness of ADHD, which is probably one of the reasons why more people are starting to become diagnosed,” Melissa Webster, CEO of ADHD Australia says. Yet ADHD can also be controversial, and as the rate of diagnosis spikes in Australia and many other parts of the world, it has raised…

Face masks are loved by the beauty industry for their glowy benefits and instant boost of hydration. But as any oily-skinned gal will know, sometimes a little extra shine is not always appreciated. To help you navigate the world of face masks, we’ve enlisted the expert advice of Mecca skincare education lead, Erin Gorman, to help find the best ones for oily skin. SKIN SAVIOURS While Gorman agrees that oily and greasy skin can be frustrating, she explains face masks can actually be the solution to excess shine and hard-to-set makeup. “Deep cleansing and purifying masks can be a saviour to that oily feeling,” she says. “With all that extra oil removed, the skin can look more balanced and matte, pores can appear smaller, and skin can feel overall softer…

More than 30 years after Kylie Minogue released her first chart-topper, the Aussie pop princess has proven she’s still got a few tricks up her sleeve. Much to the delight of fans, Minogue surprised the 80,000-strong crowd at Wembley Stadium on June 11 by stopping by for a quick performance. The 55-year-old singer belted out a rendition of her newest hit, ‘Padam Padam’, during a previously unannounced performance at the Capital Summertime Ball in London. Acts including the Jonas Brothers, Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding headlined the festival, but it was undoubtedly Minogue who stole the show. Taking to the stage in a fiery red dress with matching boots and sunglasses, Minogue appeared, flanked by over a dozen dancers. As well as her new hit, she performed her 2001 classic,…

Is Alexa Chung getting ready to say yes to the dress? That certainly appears to be the case after her newest accessory sparked rumours of an engagement. The model and fashion influencer, 39, was sporting a new ring on “that finger” when she stepped out for a stroll in London with beau Tom Sturridge on June 5. The couple walked hand-in-hand around the streets of Notting Hill after picking up some groceries, before stopping for a bite to eat. Chung has been dating The Sandman actor, 37, since at least last July, when they made their public debut at Wimbledon. They were joined on their first public date by his ex, Sienna Miller. Sturridge and Miller, 41, split in 2015 and share 10-year-old daughter Marlowe. Chung has previously dated actor…

You just never know where Cupid’s arrow will hit. Bill Murray and Kelis are reportedly in the throes of a hot new romance. The Ghostbusters actor, 72, has been “getting close for a while” to the singer, 43, sources tell British newspaper The Sun. Murray was spotted watching his new love perform while backstage at the Mighty Hoopla pop music festival in London over the first weekend in June. “They’ve met up in the States before which got people in the industry talking, and now are meeting up in London while they’re both here,” the source spills. “They’ve clearly hit it off.” The blossoming romance comes after Kelis’ husband Mike Mora died in March 2022 following a battle with stomach cancer. Murray has been divorced from ex-wife Jennifer Butler since…

Former Gladiator-turned-fitness trainer Tiffiny Hall has candidly opened up about the mental and emotional strain she faced after she put on 30kg during her pregnancy. Speaking on her Bouncing Forward podcast, the 38-year-old – who shares two children with her radio host and comedian husband, Ed Kavalee – revealed she struggled with her appearance postpartum. “I didn’t recognise myself anymore,” Hall shared. “And when Ed walked in I felt like a fraud, like people wouldn’t trust me because I put on so much weight, that I didn’t look like a fitness trainer any more. I felt the pressure to bounce back and I felt overwhelmed.” But Hall then revealed that her hubby’s response “changed everything”. “He simply said, ‘You’ve never looked more beautiful,’” she shared. “So I took a picture…

Like many mums, Khloé Kardashian has admitted the newborn stage didn’t get much easier for her the second time around. “You just forget how mind-boggling the beginning is, because no-one would do it again and again if they remembered how torturous [it] is,” the 38-year-old has confessed. But for the reality star, there’s been an extra hurdle she’s had to navigate after welcoming son Tatum via surrogate in July last year, with Kardashian opening up about her struggle to connect with the little one. In a recent episode of the family’s reality show, The Kardashians, she confessed that she felt less bonded to her son than her daughter True, whom she birthed. “When you compare it to True and him, it is a very different experience,” she told her mum,…

From humble beginnings in Bergisch Gladbach (a town near Cologne in Germany where she was known as the “pretty girl” at school) to the world’s biggest runways and television productions, Heidi Klum’s had an enchanted life. The supermodel, who celebrated her 50th birthday on June 1, has now amassed a $240 million fortune, married three times and welcomed four children. To say she’s lived is an understatement. “I think it’s pretty glamorous to wear $10,000 gowns. I get paid to, like, frolic on beaches. I’ve eaten the most amazing meals, stayed in amazing hotels. I’ve seen the world because of this job. I’ve been so lucky,” she told Forbes magazine. It’s a stark contrast to those humble beginnings in rural Germany as the daughter of a cosmetics company worker and…

Getting ahead is as much about visibility as it is about value, and getting noticed is less about doing a great job and more about being seen to be doing a great job. Those who showcase their work, spotlight their wins and highlight their achievements create a professional edge. However, society’s distaste for women who boast makes self-promotion a pain point for women. Men who talk up their professional achievements are seen as accomplished, whereas women who do the same are seen as boastful. No-one likes a show-off, but in the world of work, we particularly despise these behaviours from women. When women talk about their accomplishments they are seen to be showing off. It seems the rules for showcasing abilities and highlighting strengths are different for men and women.…

COAT “The key item in my winter wardrobe is always a coat. Since I want to be warm and will wear it often, I’ll invest in a wool blend belted style that takes it up a notch from my lightweight autumn trench.” “This affordable H&M coat is the perfect single-breasted style to wear with jeans and a tee. It’s a classic colour too, meaning it pairs easily with everything in my wardrobe.” BOOTS “I’ll be switching my shoes and sandals for a quality pair of buttery leather boots. These are a gorgeous sage colour with a good size heel for everyday wear – definitely worth the splurge.” “Although I’ve been wearing boots all year round, I’ll invest in another pair for the cooler months. Look for a different heel or…

SMOOTH YOUR SKIN Loved by celebs like Angelina Jolie and Demi Moore, skin needling is a fast and effective treatment to combat acne scars, large pores, fine lines and wrinkles. The relatively painless treatment uses small needles to cause micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. The Skin Bar’s Samantha Appel likens the sensation to feeling “a bit scratchy, like an electric toothbrush going over your skin”. No numbing is needed and a full face takes just 10 minutes. Downtime consists of a slight redness and the avoidance of active skincare for one week after. COST: About $220 for a full face. VISIT: The Skin Bar, Sydney. theskinbar.com.au PAMPER PACKAGE If a full mind and body reset is in order, book yourself into a spa for…

TV BLACK MIRROR In its most unpredictable season yet, the award-winning dystopian series is set to surprise when it returns to screens. But one thing you certainly can expect from the new episodes is an A-list roster of actors, including Salma Hayek, Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera and Rory Culkin. Hayek stars in the episode ‘Joan Is Awful’, where an average woman (Schitt’s Creek’s Annie Murphy) discovers that a Netflix-style global streaming platform has launched a drama based on her life, in which she is played by the actress. “I play both an exaggerated version of myself and of Joan,” Hayek explains. (Season 6 premieres Thu., Jun .15 on Netflix) MORE INSIDE! THIS TAKES THE CAKE The Great Australian Bake Off has a fresh line-up. NEW SEASON…

the last word When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Most days. And often in reverse. I think my nervous system’s wired weird. Most of the things that bring me joy I’m also really bad at. And I’m OK with that. What was the last guilty pleasure you indulged in? I watch a lot of videos of people falling over. A lot of them. When was the last time you danced in public? At Sydney WorldPride. Kelly Rowland performed a Destiny’s Child medley and I lost my mind. When was your last wardrobe malfunction or fashion faux pas? I am a fashion crisis so here’s two: I tried to “up fashion” my Logies outfit with a Posca pen and feathers I’d cut from a fan. Prior to…

At 85, no-one would blame Jane Fonda for leaning into retirement. But while the actress has announced she’s taking 18 months off, it’s because she’s set her sights on the US 2024 presidential election. While the Book Club star won’t be running for a seat herself, her efforts will go towards helping climate change champions get elected. “We depend on the ocean and the forests for oxygen, for food,” she said while accepting the Harry Belafonte Voices for Social Justice Award at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 10. “Those of us who are alive right now in this decade, it’s up to us because when we go it’ll be too late.” Fonda has been in remission for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma since December. “I will not allow cancer to keep me…

who’s news Looking resplendent in a white floral Oscar de la Renta dress on the steps of a Manhattan courthouse on June 9, Naomi Watts had a certain glow as she beamed for the camera while gazing lovingly at Billy Crudup. “Hitched,” she captioned the stunning Instagram image, revealing the happy couple had just tied the knot in an intimate ceremony. Love blossomed for the Aussie actress and her handsome new hubby, both 54, in 2017 on the set of Netflix thriller Gypsy, shortly after her split with ex Liev Schreiber. Since then, the pair have remained notoriously tight-lipped about their relationship, not making their red carpet debut until the 2022 SAG Awards. And their wedding proved to be just as low-key as they are. “Flowers from the deli,” Watts…

Much like their on-screen counterparts, Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl’s real-life relationship has had its fair share of drama. So when the former Grey’s Anatomy co-stars recently reunited to talk about the old days – both the good and bad – it was always going to be epic. The actresses got together for a chat this month for Variety magazine’s Actors on Actors series, 13 years after Heigl quit the hit medical drama. And nothing was off limits, from navigating motherhood to Heigl’s controversial mid-season departure. “I was so naive,” Heigl told Pompeo of her abrupt 2010 exit from the show. “I got on my soapbox and I had some things to say, and I felt really passionate about this stuff ... I felt so strongly that I also got…

Every time Sally Leydon feels hope that she might be on the verge of finding out what happened to her missing mum, it seems a new mystery pops up. And each twist and turn in the 26-year search for Marion Barter seems to be even more sinister than the last. Any hope that the former Gold Coast teacher remains alive were swept away last October, when an inquest into her disappearance heard that she was probably dead. “It is reasonable, in our submission … to conclude Marion is deceased,” the counsel assisting the coroner, Adam Casselden, said. Marion was a dedicated mum-of-two and a much-loved teacher at the prestigious boy’s Southport School in 1997. But at 51, something was missing. She’d been unlucky in love, having divorced three times. “She…

Whether you buy second-hand to reduce waste or own an electric vehicle to decrease emissions, it’s fair to say there is an emphasis on treading lightly. While you may put thought into what you consume, what about where you put your money? As extreme weather events, climate change and poor working conditions are associated with some ASX-listed companies, investing in a corporation that’s actively minimising its impact on the world seems like a hard task. That’s where ethical investing (also known as responsible or sustainable investing) can pay off – and according to Sharesies’ co-founder and director Brooke Roberts, more people are considering it. “On Sharesies, the majority of our investors (73 per cent) believe it’s important that they invest in companies that are socially responsible,” Roberts says. “As we…

ROLL UP! Unless you’re wearing a jacket all day, roll up your shirt sleeves for that extra detail that makes an outfit all the more fashionable. Always turn your cuff right up underneath your elbow, and then fold or roll the excess. SHOULDER WEAR No need to buy a scarf this winter. Simply tie a jumper around your neck or drape over shoulders to not only keep warm but tick that fashionista box. FLIP IT A turned-down waistband is the latest quick trick to stay up-to-date with the low-rise trend, or to make it look like a new pair of pants. This works best with tailored pants that have a lined band. DOUBLE TAKE When it comes to accessories, doubling up – such as two belts, two cuffs or two…

While there are many benefits that can come with renting a property, one downfall is not being able to make any drastic changes. Luckily, there are a few simple styling tweaks you can do to make your space feel more like a home. “There’s a misconception that if you rent, it’s not worth putting too much effort in or adding value to the property because you don’t formally own it,” says Justine Wilson, interior stylist and director of Vault Interiors. “As a renter myself, I’m passionate about making every space in the house or apartment I lease feel like home. I really encourage other fellow renters to embrace this idea, you’ll be amazed at the benefits and power of surrounding your space with beauty.” Itching for a low-key makeover? Wilson…

Drink notes When you were crafting the cocktail menu, what was front-of-mind? Once my master said to me, “The most important part of a cocktail menu is the concept.” When I was crafting the cocktail for Beverly, I asked myself, “What concept did I want to bring for the guests?” When I looked at the view, I realised that I must use the menu to expand the perspective from day to night, dawn to dusk across the landscape of Melbourne. What do you like most about being behind a bar? It is always busy behind my bar. We must prepare garnish, we have to cook, we have to juice, we have to batch. What I like most [about] being behind the bar is the time to mingle with the…
