Innholdsfortegnelse for Issue 33, 2023 i WHO

At the time of sending this issue of WHO to print, the Matildas were just 24 hours from playing England’s Lionesses in the semi-final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Even typing that sentence just gave me chills! Regardless of the outcome of a match that is set to stop the nation, the Tillies have been such an inspiration to all Australians, and it’s an honour to celebrate their success in the tournament – and how they’ve undoubtedly changed us as a nation – from page 4. Actress Rose Byrne is another Aussie woman owning it on the world stage. The star is in high demand when it comes to serious dramas – but, for me, it’s her comedic skills that truly make her shine. Her turn as…

who’s news A little boy only turns 1 once, so when it came time to celebrate his son Otto’s special birthday, Kyle Sandilands was determined it’d be a day they’d never forget. The controversial radio host, 52, and his wife Tegan Kynaston, 37, welcomed close friends to their Sydney home to celebrate with a jungle-themed bash on August 12. Their Bellevue Hill mansion was decked out with plenty of decorations including yellow, green and blue balloons, a massive giraffe and a sign that read “Otto’s jungle”. To amuse the young crowd, there were entertainers dressed in safari outfits along with a Mickey Mouse impersonator. “It’s only $25,000,” Sandilands admitted on the cost of the do ahead of the day. “It’s a watered-down type of party.” While Sandilands’ long-term co-host Jackie…

who’s news They were the women who changed the face of fashion and didn’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day, so it was always going to be epic when Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington got back together. The original supers – minus Tatjana Patitz who passed away from breast cancer at 56 in January – reunited to grace the cover of British Vogue’s September Issue. It comes 24 years after they ushered in the era of the ‘supermodel’ by posing on the front of US Vogue in January 1999. The epic reunion was to promote their new Apple TV series, The Super Models, which premieres on September 20. “A celebration that transcends an era,” Campbell shared on Instagram. “This cover symbolises friendship,…

who’s news Chris Hemsworth may have been celebrating his 40th birthday on August 11, but fellow actor Adam DeVine wasn’t exactly passing on his best wishes. Instead, the Pitch Perfect star was taking a shot at the Aussie hunk’s most iconic role, Thor. “You watch comedies nowadays and you’re like, this is not a f--king comedy,” DeVine, 39, told the This Past Weekend podcast. “My theory: I think Marvel ruined it. I feel like superhero movies ruined comedies because you go to the theater and you expect to watch something that cost $200 million to make, and comedy movies aren’t that.” Given that Hemsworth’s Thor: Love and Thunder made over $1 billion at the box office, regardless of what type of flick it is, audiences sure seem to love it!…

It’s a far cry from the mud and gumboots of Glastonbury, but the Princess of Wales has reportedly notched up her first time out at a music festival. After Prince William cut loose at a Camden nightclub for his 41st birthday in June, Kate got her royal rave on over the weekend. The royal, 41, is believed to have attended the Houghton Festival, which ran from August 10 to 13, at the suggestions of friends she was visiting. The round-the-clock music event was held on a property owned by friends, David and Rose (pictured right with the princess), the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley. “After dinner, one of the guests suggested that Catherine go to the festival,” a source told the Daily Mail. “Catherine was nervous about the idea, but…

Rose Byrne started acting when she was just 8 years old, joining the Australian Theatre for Young People while growing up in the Sydney suburb of Balmain. From her first film role as a teenager in the 1994 Australian black comedy Dallas Doll, she’s worked steadily, building up an enviable career that has seen her become an in-demand film and TV actress and one of our country’s most successful exports. “I’m very happy and very grateful. In terms of work, it’s always a challenge,” she tells WHO. “It never ends. I think actors always think the last job, is the last job. I’m no different.” Byrne’s breakthrough role opposite Heath Ledger in Two Hands in 1999 scored her an agent and she promptly packed up and headed to Hollywood. Soon…

While splashing about in the warm water on the French Riviera on August 8, Damian Lewis couldn’t wipe the smile off his face. As he threw his arms around girlfriend Alison Mosshart and pulled her in close for a smooch, the reason for his newfound happiness became crystal clear. The actor, 52, and the musician, 44, have spent the last week soaking up the sun and surf during a romantic trip to Saint-Tropez. The pair began seeing each other around a year ago, after they were first spotted together in June 2022 while attending a fundraising event at London’s National Portrait Gallery. “They have mutual friends,” Mosshart’s mother Vivian told the Mail Online at the time. “I don’t know exactly how they met but I’m fine with it. If she’s…

Who EXCLUSIVEReal life Looking more Girl Next Door than Playboy bunny, a tanned and relaxed Crystal Hefner laughs out loud when asked if she would want any daughter of hers to pose naked for a men’s magazine, let alone marry a famous man 60 years older than her. “I don’t even know if Playboy will still be around when I have a daughter. I feel like it’s going down the tubes,” predicts Crystal, 37, who claims the experience left her suffering PTSD – and desperate to escape the “toxic and empty” mansion. The former centrefold famously married Hugh Hefner in 2012 when she was just 26 and he was 86 – after meeting him three years earlier and moving into the Playboy Mansion to share him with his 18-year-old twin…

Seen on the runway and now in our favourite high street stores, this signature style comes in an array of colours and the ever-popular classic stripe. Dress it up with a slip skirt and heels, or down with slouchy jeans and slides for a day at home. WHAT WE’RE BUYING THIS WEEK “In my opinion, it’s never too late to invest in a good quality scarf.

To go coat-free but still stay warm, simply drape a scarf over a boxy blazer.” –…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Love woes are getting the better of you! Your love life or lack thereof might be taking up a lot of your time right now, but there are other issues which need addressing.

FIFA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP 2023 WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS TO HAVE A PROPER CELEBRATION FOR THE MATILDAS – PM Albanese Matildas winger Hayley Raso said it best when she was asked to comment after Australia’s unbelievable FIFA Women’s World Cup quarter-final victory against the French on August 12. “We’ve made history,” the 28-year-old exclaimed to reporters following the awe-inspiring match. Truer words have never been spoken. With sold-out stadiums, record-breaking TV ratings and merchandise sales, and the players fast becoming household names, our beloved Tillies have been riding a national tidal wave of support all the way to their historic World Cup semi-final. As WHO went to print, the country was bracing itself for another nail-biting match against England, with at-home audience numbers expected to exceed the…

who’s news Three months after the start of the writers’ strike that has slowly caused Hollywood to grind to an eventual standstill, actor Billy Porter has shown how very real the consequences can be for those not among the top earners in Tinseltown. “I have to sell my house,” the star of Pose told British newspaper Evening Standard. “I don’t know when we’re gonna go back [to work]. The life of an artist, until you make ‘f--k you’ money – which I haven’t made yet – is still cheque-to-cheque.” Currently in London recording his upcoming album, The Black Mona Lisa, Porter confirms he will ”join the picket lines” along with his fellow celebrities when he returns home. The 53-year-old was set to start filming a James Baldwin biopic in September…

who’s news Zooey Deschanel is a bride to be. The actress is headed down the aisle after boyfriend Jonathan Scott proposed. The 45-year-old Property Brothers host got down on one knee during a romantic holiday to Scotland. “Forever starts now,” the pair captioned a snap on Instagram of the New Girl star, 43, showing off her new sparkler. The stars have been dating for four years after they met while filming an episode of James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke along with their celebrity siblings. Zooey is the younger sister of Bones actress Emily Deschanel while Jonathan’s twin brother Drew stars on his home renovation reality show with him. The actress will be hoping it’s a case of third time lucky for her. She split from husband Jacob Pechenik in 2019. The…

Celebrity Just over two decades on from making history in 2002 as the first Black woman to win the Best Actress Academy Award for her performance in Monster’s Ball, Halle Berry is still in the business of busting down barriers. This time, she’s tackling ageism and sexism and calling out harmful taboos around sensitive topics, like women’s sexuality and health. “The most important thing about owning your sexuality as a woman is accepting the station you’re at – and embracing that. And I say that because I’m smack dab in the middle of menopause,” she said in an interview with Women’s Health magazine. “I am challenging everything I thought I knew about menopause. Things like: ‘Your life is over.’ ‘You are disposable.’ ‘Society no longer has a place for you.’…

When police raided the home of wealthy businessman Joji Obara in Tokyo in 2000, on the suspicion he was a sexual predator, they found hundreds of videos of him raping drugged and comatose women. Among the many victims on the more than 400 tapes was Australian Carita Ridgway, a former model from Perth who died in mysterious circumstances in Tokyo eight years earlier. “They also found a diary with girls’ names and comments next to them,” says investigative journalist and author Clare Campbell who wrote the 2009 book, Tokyo Hostess. “Next to Carita’s name, Obara had written, ‘Too much chloroform.’” Those three words lifted the curtain on a dangerously warped mind. In 2001, Obara, 49, was arrested over the drugging and rapes of multiple women, and the deaths of Carita…

No matter your fitness level, yoga is one of the best things that you can do if you’re trying to improve your health. It’s perfect for people of all ages, makes you feel great, and there are absolutely no headstands needed. Paul von Bergen, founder of Sydney’s Billabong Retreat, says many people are put off by yoga because they start by trying the wrong kind. “One of the best things about yoga is that it is suitable for everyone,” he explains. “The problem is many yoga classes are not suitable for everyone, so you really need to realise that there is such a wide variety of classes.” You can start yoga at any time of life, and there’s a style to suit everyone. “Ultimately, everyone only needs their own daily…

Whether it’s a denim maxi, an ankle-grazing pencil skirt or something more slinky, these longer-length styles are the skirts of the moment. Suitable for all shapes and sizes, they’re also transeasonal, making it worth the investment as we come into warmer weather. Pair it with a sweater and boots as we near the end of winter, or take it into the spring months with a tank and sandals. Some important tips? Make sure whatever you choose there’s a big enough slit at the back or front to make walking a lot easier, and stick to high to mid-waisted styles for maximum versatility.” WEAR IT: ON THE WEEKEND Slightly oversized styles make for a comfy weekend look, whether you’re at brunch with friends or running errands. Pair with trending ballet flats…

Think about this: every plastic bottle of shampoo, tub of cream or mascara tube you have ever had in your life is still here with us on the planet. Another sobering thought: there are some 171 trillion pieces of plastic floating in the ocean, and beauty products are thought to make up a large part. There is clearly much work to be done. Thankfully, though, there are beauty brands that put sustainability first. That means closing the production loop, having positive carbon footprints, making products that don’t pollute and ending single-use plastics by using recycled material (known as PCR). Here, we applaud the brands working for a better planet. Haircare FEKKAI An early adopter of saying no to virgin plastic, this haircare brand by lauded celebrity stylist Frédéric Fekkai has…

What was the last gift you got? My last birthday, (which ended in a zero), I got a lot of whiskey … a lot. I guess it’s the go-to present for grumpy middle-aged blokes who don’t golf or fish. What was the last meal you cooked? “Monday Mexican chicken and veg with rice, salad and guac” … not that special but, hey, it’s Monday and there’s kids after-school activities to get to. Last time you stayed up late? My wife Renae would say I’m up late every night watching the next episode of something … but she goes to bed at 9.30pm, so maybe not the best judge. The Logies was probably the last proper late night, though maybe it was just long – very long – as opposed to…

Olivia Newton-John and Chloe Lattanzi were inseparable in life. And a year after her death, the Aussie icon’s only daughter reveals she knows her mum is still very close by. “Two weeks after she passed my phone accidentally took a picture of my dog, and there floating by his head was a little blue orb,” Lattanzi, 37, told People magazine. “Mum and I had talked years back. We’d watch these paranormal shows, and I’d say, ‘You gotta show up for me.’ And she was like, ‘I’ll show up as one of those orb things.’” Newton-John’s husband John Easterling has also had similar encounters. He recently visited Peru with her on what would have been their 15th anniversary. “I took a picture, and this blue orb is right between my eyes,”…

Since splitting with ex Olivia Wilde late last year, Harry Styles has wasted no time getting back in the game. And as he makes the most of the European summer, it’s becoming hard to keep up with exactly who the musician is seeing! On August 9, the 29-year-old singer was spotted getting cosy with Taylor Russell at the afterparty to celebrate the opening of her new play on the West End. The actress, also 29, is playing the lead in new show, The Effect. And while eye witnesses say they could barely keep their eyes and hands off each other, Styles did take a moment to introduce his date to pal James Corden, who was also at the do. The pair were first linked in June, after they were spotted…

Taylor Swift’s concerts seem to be the hottest ticket in Hollywood town right now, with the likes of Sydney Sweeney, Halsey, Emma Stone, Kerry Washington, Anya Taylor-Joy and even Adam Sandler stepping out for the singer’s spate of shows in Los Angeles. But there was one recent celebrity concertgoer Swifties certainly didn’t expect to see! Karlie Kloss was spotted attending Swift’s final LA show of her The Eras Tour at SoFi stadium on August 9, arriving at the show with two girlfriends. And while some took it as a sign that there is no bad blood between the former besties, with most of the singer’s other celebrity guests given access to the VIP section, the model slumming it out in the stands with all the regular fans did raise a…

Celebrity Around age 16, just as Bella Hadid was taking her first steps towards her career as a world-famous supermodel, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease along with her younger brother Anwar, 24, and their mum, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda, 59. Throughout her public life she’s been open about her condition, and on August 6 she posted an update on Instagram, sharing she feels “finally healthy” after enduring 100 days of intensive daily treatments. “Living in this state, worsening with time and work while trying to make myself, my family and the people who support me, proud, had taken a toll on me in ways I can’t really explain,” she captioned a carousel of snaps including images of her receiving intravenous transfusions. “To be that sad…

Retrospective Making Sleepless in Seattle in 1993, director Nora Ephron – who died in 2012 at age 71 – deliberately set out to make it timeless. “When she was making it, she was like ‘it has to be a classic,’” actress Rita Wilson, who co-stars in the movie, told Variety. “‘It has to be something that when you see it 25 years from now, you’ll still think the clothes look like you’re not quite sure what period it is.’ And she wanted the music to be reminiscent of a classic movie.” Thirty years since its premiere, the feel-good film is still captivating hopeless romantics everywhere. The movie tells the story of Annie (played by Meg Ryan, fresh off her success from When Harry Met Sally… ), a journalist who hears…

Jerome Scarborough has been in the wine industry his entire life. Growing up watching his father Ian Scarborough in the vineyards and the winery in the NSW Hunter Valley inspired him to follow in his footsteps. He went to Roseworthy Agricultural College in Adelaide where he met fellow viticulturalist Liz Riley. Married for 26 years, they have two children together and represent the next generation of winemakers at Scarborough Winery. Winemaking is in the blood for both of you. Did you ever consider doing anything else? Jerome: There was a brief flirting with chef-ing but vines and wines were under my skin from an early age. Liz: Not really. My viticultural pathway was nurtured by a botanical-loving grandmother. What’s it like working so closely with your family? Jerome: It’s immensely…
