Can it really be just five years since we enjoyed the celebratory and inclusive wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry? As we now know, the royal fairytale fell apart shortly after the nuptials, but the latest body blow to their empire – the cancellation of their multimillion dollar Spotify deal – must’ve been particularly hard to handle. Read our report on Meghan and Harry’s week from hell on page 6. One couple who are also facing a challenge – albeit of a far happier kind – is local TV stars Charlie Albone and Juliet Love. Better Homes and Garden’s resident landscaper is competing on the current season of Dancing with the Stars, leaving his interior designer wife to hold the fort at home with their two sons…

who’s news She certainly hasn’t been shy about sharing her love for beau Rich Paul of late, but Adele has told fans that she plans to spend forever with the sports agent. While on stage during her Las Vegas residency recently, the 35-year-old gushed to concert-goers that she plans to wed Paul, 41 – with a fan sharing the candid moment on Twitter. “I intend to be married for the rest of my life to my man,” the singer said in the heartwarming clip. The announcement comes just months after insiders revealed that the pair were planning on a US summer wedding. “Adele has been in her fair share of relationships and this one is different; she feels that she can throw around the soulmate card for Rich…

Speculation about the state of their marriage has been rife for years, but it seems it might finally be over for Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. The Due South star, 56, shared an announcement to Instagram on June 17 revealing their separation. “It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own,” he wrote. However, just hours later, the post had been deleted – with the actor and Spelling, 50, yet to confirm or deny the news at the time of print. The couple, who wed in 2006 and share five children – Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and…

Celebrity “I want to talk to older women and get their wisdom”—LOUIS-DREYFUS So far during her television career, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been nominated for 26 Emmy Awards and has won 11 for her knockout roles in Seinfeld, Veep and The New Adventures of Old Christine. And at 62, her dance card remains full. She has a starring role on the big screen in the comedy You Hurt My Feelings (out now) and a foothold in the Marvel Film Universe as the elusive Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine – last spotted in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with a more prominent part in the upcoming Thunderbolts, which is due for release in July 2024. “I actually have to pinch myself because it’s incredible that so much is happening right now and that…

Real life MAKING A MEMOIR “These were very much individual stories of moments in my life, but they’re all connected,” Mitchell says of her book. “There’s a slight through line mainly to do with the women in my life … and the impact and influence they’ve had on me.” With a long, successful and colourful career in the art and entertainment world, two bouts of cancer and an Order of Australia Medal under her belt, it makes sense that Heather Mitchell would be the perfect candidate for a candid memoir. But the actress had no intention of becoming an author when a former associate came to her with the idea of writing about her life. “It was the last thing on my mind,” she tells WHO. However, after writing short…

I should start by saying that if apologising is something you’re already good at, I salute you, because it’s not always easy to eat crow. Plucking the feathers alone is such a hassle. Still, if one wants to be a Total F--king Grown-up, one must find a way to show up and take accountability for one’s actions and behaviour. Full stop. And believe me, I know from extensive personal experience that prostrating yourself before Those You’ve Wronged, Disappointed or P--sed Off can be anxiety-inducing and embarrassing, and it can make you feel small. Even though being an adult means accepting that sometimes you just have to do things that may not feel so good, this one is a real kick in the teeth, even if it’s absolutely the right way…

Celebrities have long known that a dramatic new hairstyle can get serious attention. When Rihanna took her long locks to a directional asymmetric cut all those years ago, she went from girl next door to superstar almost instantly. It’s a phenomenon that fellow musician Katy Perry also knows well. The pop star is a veteran hair chameleon, having changed her naturally brunette locks to basically every hairstyle and colour imaginable, from a platinum buzz cut to rainbow hues. Meanwhile, longstanding It girl Selena Gomez nearly broke Instagram last year when she debuted a wavy lob with wispy bangs. Kim Kardashian recently toned down her platinum locks to one of 2023’s big hair trends – honey blonde – and Google searches for “Kim Kardashian hair” increased by 346 per cent the…

Mary-Kate Olsen may prefer to go incognito these days, but there was no missing the former child star as she headed to lunch in a bright red coat – and with a hunky man in tow! The Full House alum, 37, was spotted joining well-known art dealer PC Valmorbida for a bite to eat at Sant Ambroeus Madison in New York on June 14, with the pair putting on a stylish display as they walked to the restaurant together. Valmorbida, also 37, is no stranger to the celebrity world having been linked to a bevy of beauties and running in the same circles as Paris Hilton and Cara Delevigne. He’s the heir to a wealthy Italian smallgoods dynasty in Australia, but has found success in the US as an art…

He previously vowed to “live life better” following a battle with alcoholism and tipping the scales at 178kg, and actor John Goodman has certainly stayed true to his word, showing off the impressive results of his health and fitness overhaul. The 71-year-old hit the red carpet for the season three premiere of series, The Righteous Gemstones, on June 18 after reportedly shedding a whopping 90kg. The Roseanne star began his health overhaul back in 2007 when he quit drinking and later hired a trainer to motivate him to exercise six days a week. He also adopted a ‘Mediterranean-style’ eating plan after finding himself “eating alcoholically”. “I wanted to do it slowly, move, exercise. I’m getting to the age where I can’t afford to sit still anymore. And it gives me…

Kevin Costner’s wife, Christine Baumgartner, shocked everyone – including the actor himself – when she filed for divorce last month. And now, the former couple’s split looks set to get even messier. In new documents obtained by Page Six, Costner, 68, alleged that the handbag designer, 49, spent $138,000 on his credit card “without prior notice”. He also claimed that her refusal to move out of their home – despite a prenuptial agreement stipulating that Baumgartner had 30 days to vacate the property after she filed for divorce – has effectively rendered him “homeless”. “This is surprising and disheartening to me,” Costner reportedly said in court documents. “I was married once before and, upon separation, found myself without home base and unable to live in my own home. I never…

Just two days after Trooping the Colour, the Windsors were back in their finest for another historic event as King Charles led his first Garter Day Service since being crowned in May. The monarch was at the head of a grand procession as they made their way to St. George’s Chapel in Windsor on June 19. Appearing to sartorially channel her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, the Princess of Wales wore a custom polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich and a feathered fascinator that complemented her husband’s robes and elaborate ostrich plumage hat. In a touching moment, Kate, who was waiting outside the chapel, broke into a wide smile the moment she first laid eyes on Prince William walking past during the parade. The day was also significant for Prince Edward…

News feature The Idol has had the whole internet talking since its premiere on June 5, but the social media buzz hasn’t exactly been all positive. “Did y’all watch The Idol? Am I the only one still confused?” one viewer recently tweeted. The series, co-created by Euphoria director Sam Levinson, 38, and singer Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd), 33, tells the story of Jocelyn, a pop star who had a nervous breakdown that caused the cancellation of her last tour. Played by Lily-Rose Depp, 24, Jocelyn is desperate to return to the spotlight bigger and better than ever, and in doing so, ends up in a pretty complicated relationship with Tedros (Tesfaye), a cult leader disguised as a mysterious club mogul. Plot aside, viewers have been left agog at the…

Miriam Margolyes is making a few things very clear in her gorgeous photoshoot and interview for British Vogue’s July cover – she’s out, loud and very proud. The 82-year-old actress celebrated her sexuality in a set of vibrant and fun photos as she posed nude while declaring that she “wouldn’t want to be straight for anything”. “Gay people are lucky, because we are not conventional,” she told the magazine. Margolyes came out as a lesbian in 1966 – a time when homophobia was still rife and homosexual acts between men were illegal in the UK. Brought up in a strict Jewish family in Oxford, her parents were unable to accept her as she was. “I never had any shame about being gay or anything really,” she shares. “I knew it…

It might be almost three decades since Gordana Kotevski disappeared on the walk home from her local shopping centre in Charlestown, Newcastle in 1994, but the memory of that night is still clear for her sister Carolina. “It was just a normal Thursday night,” she tells WHO. “We all used to hang out at Charlestown Square, that was the thing that we all did. It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.” After shopping with friends on November 24, the 16-year-old was on her way to her aunt’s house nearby when she was snatched off a quiet suburban street and bundled into a white Toyota Hilux less than 42 steps from her destination – and was never seen again. And while that night still haunts Carolina, it’s the memories that she…

Raging hormones are something that we usually associate with teenagers, but they can also come into play as we reach those perimenopausal years. Dr Claire Bailey, author and co-founder of The Fast 800, shares some natural strategies for easing common symptoms. BELLY FAT Midlife weight gain (especially around the middle) is a real thing, and for women it’s often linked to a drop in oestrogen. “Falling oestrogen can cause a marked increase in appetite,” explains Dr Bailey. “This is because oestrogen acts on the brain to reduce hunger. Prior to menopause, this is also why women often experience strong food cravings during the days before their period, when oestrogen levels are lower.” These changes can also alter the way we distribute weight, and how we regulate our blood sugar. “As…

MOVIE NO HARD FEELINGS For her latest flick, Jennifer Lawrence is giving something new a try. The Oscar winner stars as a young woman with financial troubles who agrees to date a shy guy after his wealthy parents put up an ad on Craigslist. While the comedy is a bit “cringe”, Lawrence admits the raunchy R-rated romcom is just her cup of tea. “I do like the idea of comedy that makes people uncomfortable,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I love when people are watching through their hands, through their fingers.” (In cinemas now) MORE INSIDE!

After starting their post-royal life with a bang by quickly signing a string of multi-million dollar deals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are discovering that life isn’t going to be as easy as they expected. The Sussexes have been dropped by Spotify, after the duchess’ podcast, Archetypes, failed to be renewed for a second season. Despite Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, releasing a statement to say the split was “mutual”, one executive from the company labelled the pair “f––king grifters”. “I wish I had been involved in the ‘Meghan and Harry leave Spotify’ negotiation. ‘The F--king Grifters.’ That’s the podcast we should have launched with them,” Bill Simmons said on his self-titled podcast. “I’ve got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with…

who’s news Aussie fans got a magical treat at the recent Supanova Convention and Gaming Expo in Sydney, when Alyssa Milano took to the stage to chat and pose for pictures with the audience. The Charmed star, 50, stunned in a blazer and leather pants, showing off her age-defying looks with glam makeup and an effortless up-do. “Hello, Sydney. You sure are gorgeous. I’ll see you on Saturday and Sunday!” the actress tweeted after arriving down under. Milano’s appearance at the convention comes just months after her fellow Charmed co-stars reunited at the ’90s Con expo in Hartford, Connecticut back in March. While the actress didn’t join her screen sisters Shannen Doherty, Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs, as well as fellow Charmed alums Brian Krause, Dorian Gregory and Drew…

who’s news After a trip to court against her grandmother, Riley Keough has finally filled her late mother Lisa Marie Presley’s wishes and taken over as the sole trustee of her estate. In a recently signed settlement, the 34-year-old agreed to pay Priscilla, 78, over $1.4 million – to take control of the family trust and become the sub-trustee for her twin half-sisters, Harper and Finley Lockwood. The agreement between Priscilla and Riley has settled a reported longstanding feud between the two, which was sparked when Priscilla filed a legal challenge to her daughter’s will just two weeks after Lisa Marie’s death in January. And it seems all is well now, with Priscilla recently posting an Instagram shot of herself with Riley and her half-sisters at their graduation. “The families…

Celebrity Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are never shy about showing off the most intimate details of their love life, and at a Blink-182 concert in Los Angeles on June 16, they spectacularly shared their latest update. Inspired by the music video for the band’s 1999 hit ‘All The Small Things’, Kardashian, 44, jumped up and down in the crowd as she held up a cardboard sign with large black letters that read: “Travis I’m Pregnant!” Barker, 47, then got off the stage to embrace his wife, who wore a sheer bodysuit that showed off her blossoming baby bump. “Overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for God’s blessing and plan,” Kardashian posted to Instagram with photos of her reveal. “This pregnancy is beyond Kourtney’s wildest dreams,” a source told Entertainment Tonight.…

Celebrity In the little bit over five years since Jennifer Aniston announced her split from husband Justin Theroux, her professional life has remained just as jam-packed. However, interest in her spotlit love life, has seemingly started to simmer down as she’s stayed outwardly single. “In her gut, Jen believes that she’ll eventually meet the right person,” a source tells Us Weekly. “But she’s not going to beat herself up if it doesn’t happen.” Far from bitter, Aniston, 54, has stayed close to her ex-husbands. She spent quality time with Brad Pitt, who she was married to from 2000 until 2005, in the wake of her split with Theroux, with whom she remains friendly. “Like it or not, we didn’t have that dramatic split, and we love each other,” Theroux told…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Weirdly it was the other night. My friend Tom came over to hang out with my girlfriend and I, and we were talking about the recent promos for The Project that I was in. They were teasing me, so we watched it on YouTube, and boy howdy, we couldn’t stop laughing. At one point, I talk about elves for some reason. It’s unhinged. What was the last book you read? This is embarrassing but I’m reading a lot of old X-Men comics. Sometimes I just want to switch off and see what Wolverine and the gang are up to. What was the last guilty pleasure you indulged in? I was walking home from work today and stopped in to get…
