Everyone is feeling the pinch these days as cost of living pressures take hold. Knowing that, WHO’s fabulous lifestyle team have collated 27 pages of tips and ideas for our special Savvy Spending Issue, starting on page 43. From affordable stays that still have a luxe feel to DIY beauty treatments and cheap wine (hello to all the Cold Chisel fans out there), we’ve covered all the budget bases. As someone that practically lives in jeans, I’m turning to the denim deals – find your faves for under $100. It takes a remarkable person to outshine George Clooney but that’s exactly what his wife, celebrated human rights laywer Amal, continues to do. And I get the sense that nothing could make him happier. While she jokes about George being a“rising…

Almost 30 years ago, Kevin Costner’s divorce from his college sweetheart Cindy Silva would end as one of the most expensive break-ups in Hollywood history. With no prenup in place, Silva – mum to Costner’s three adult children – reportedly walked away with $120 million. Costner did have a prenuptial agreement when he married Christine Baumgartner in 2004, but since she filed for divorce in May this year, things have become complicated. Costner, 68, called in the big guns and is being represented by popular divorce attorney Laura Wasser, whose former client list includes Kim Kardashian and Angelina Jolie. During a two-day court hearing in Santa Barbara, Wasser accused Baumgartner, 49, of making“unreasonable”financial demands surrounding child support, despite already receiving a $2.3 million payout as specified in the former couple’s…

Princess Diana recorded the interview with her friend Dr James Coulthurst five years before her tragic death. Andrew Morton’s bombshell tapes with Princess Diana back in 1992 marked her turn from suppressed royal to a free woman speaking her truth. Her ‘truth’ was alarming and gave gripping context to her ill-fated marriage to the Prince of Wales, our now King of England. Married in 1981, Charles and Diana later divorced in 1996 following allegations of cheating by both parties – most notably, his affair with now-wife and our Queen, Camilla Parker Bowles. Now, 26 years after Diana’s death, Morton has released more of the audio footage he was given by Diana’s close friend, Dr James Coulthurst, in the upcoming documentary, Diana: The Rest of Her Story. In one snippet…

Eliza & Liberty  While sisters Eliza and Liberty Paschke are certainly no wallflowers, the duo admit they’ve definitely taken a back seat when it comes to the drama that’s been brewing on this season of The Block from day dot. “We were, for the first half, probably Switzerland,” Eliza, 37, tells WHO. “We just got on with the job.” But as the weeks have worn on, it seems the fun-loving pair’s patience has been wearing thin – especially when their names started getting dragged into the drama. So when whispers of favouritism towards them began flying around the set, Eliza and Liberty, 34, knew they had to take a stand. “When people are using the words ‘special treatment’, ‘cheating’, things like that … we just weren’t having it. That’s…

When Belinda Chapple arrives for her photoshoot with WHO, the face at the door is one many will recognise – having graced our screens during her stint on Australia’s inaugural reality show Popstars in 2000. And while the 48-year-old is a total professional as the camera starts snapping away, when we sit down to chat later on, she admits her smile is one that has hidden some dark secrets. “There are still, if I’m brutally honest, a few little scars,” Chapple admits of her time on the show and in the resulting girl band, Bardot. Once you’ve had a chance to read her recently-released memoir, The Girl in the Band, it’s clear to see why. Chapple, alongside her former bandmates Tiffani Wood, Sally Polihronas, Katie Underwood and Sophie Monk, were…

When the wreckage of John Darwin’s canoe was discovered a day after he had set off in the North Sea in 2002 without any sign of the teacher-turned-prison officer, he was presumed dead. But five years later, the then 51-year-old handed himself into UK police claiming he had amnesia. What would soon be discovered was Darwin’s plan to fake his own death in order for his wife to claim his life insurance, with the almost unbelievable – but true – story the inspiration behind the new miniseries, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe. Living in the seaside town of Seaton Carew in County Durham, England, Anne and John Darwin seemed like a normal couple. But after crippling debts forced them to the verge of bankruptcy, John concocted a diabolical…

If there was ever a time to utter the phrase, “Thank heaven for small mercies”, now would be it. As for our “small mercies” of choice? Hair, skincare and makeup of course.

You moved to Australia when you were a teenager, but tell me about your early childhood in Johannesburg? Growing up in South Africa was certainly not short of any adventure. Even though we lived in the biggest city, Johannesburg, both my grandfathers had farms and so for me and my two brothers, we had brilliant weekend playgrounds. As a family we would also spend many weekends each year in the bush – spotting animals and enjoying the relaxed safari life. It’s probably why I have been so drawn back to the bush. Did you come from a foodie family? Food has always been at the centre of every family gathering. Having two brothers, Mum was constantly cooking for a hungry crowd and we were never short of flavour! Weekends too…

Miranda Kerr is the ultimate “boy mum” after announcing she’s expecting her fourth son via, you guessed it, Snapchat. This is her third child with the social media platform’s billionaire founder, Evan Spiegel. The pair welcomed Hart in 2018, and Miles in 2019, all little brothers to her son Flynn, 12, who she shares with ex-hubby, Orlando Bloom. Kerr, 40, made the announcement by sharing a series of snaps – the first being of the supermodel cradling her blossoming bump. “So excited to announce baby number 4,” she wrote, followed by another she captioned: “And it’s a boy.” The model-turned-skincare mogul mused the idea of a fourth back in November 2022, admitting her husbandof-six years was eager to add to their brood. “[He’s] been trying to convince me,” she told…

Hours before drummer Travis Barker, who’s expecting a baby with his wife Kourtney Kardashian, was set to take the stage in Glasgow, Scotland, his band released an unsettling statement. “Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States,” read a September 1 post on Blink182’s Instagram Story. Hours later, Barker’s ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, 48, who shares kids Alabama, 17, Landon, 19, and Atiana, 24, with Barker, told photographers in Los Angeles: “I’m just praying that his immediate family – and the baby and Kourtney and everyone – is safe and OK.” The next day, Kardashian was photographed leaving hospital with Barker by her side. “She is back home now with her kids,” a source told People. “She is feeling better. She is happy to…

The hearts of sports fanatics everywhere are fluttering over reports the Matildas golden girl Mary Fowler is dating rugby league royalty, Nathan Cleary. News Corp claims the 20-yearold soccer star and Penrith Panthers star, 25, enjoyed a “riverside rendezvous” two weeks after they were spotted on an ice cream date post-FIFA Women’s World Cup. “Now they’re both sponsored by Adidas and they were maybe doing a function. But you have an ice cream with someone, that’s saying something,” Hello Sport Podcast host Tom Birmingham said of the pairing. “You may as well be holding hands. We haven’t got a power couple do we, at the moment?” Days later, Cleary addressed the speculation surrounding his love life, telling News Corp he won’t be addressing his relationship status with Fowler any time…

In the Season 4 finale of his comedy TV series, Miracle Workers (available on Stan), Daniel Radcliffe ripped off his shirt to reveal a startlingly buff physique in a scene that caused an immediate stir online. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Gainz,”one social media user joked, while others implored the MCU to cast the new dad, who welcomed a baby in April, as the next Wolverine. In 2016, the actor, 34, credited his long-time girlfriend, actress Erin Darke, 38, for helping him bulk up.“Since I started dating her,”he told Vanity Fair Italia,“I put on a little more muscle.”He’s also given props to his parents. “They’re in their sixties and they’re insanely fit people, so I’ve just got to keep up with them,”he said to Entertainment Tonight in 2022.…

Joe & Sophie Fans have been left shaken after reports that Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are heading for a divorce. The seemingly-solid pair have been the subject of break-up rumours in recent days, with TMZ first reporting on September 3 that multiple sources had confirmed to the outlet that they were on the outs. “Joe had his people contact and consult with at least two LA-area divorce lawyers,” a source told the publication. “He is on the cusp of filing divorce docs to end his marriage to Sophie.” The news appears to have come out of nowhere, as Turner, 27, and Jonas, 34, were spotted together as recently as last month. However, insiders have revealed that the pair, who married in 2019, have been having “serious problems” since March.…

George & Amal As an award-winning actor and filmmaker, George Clooney is used to being the centre of attention wherever he goes. But he was only too happy to step out of the spotlight recently to let his wife Amal shine. The couple headed out dressed in their best in Venice on August 31 to attend the DVF Awards. And while it was Amal, 45, who was being honoured for her global work for victims of human rights abuses and for fighting to free journalists imprisoned for reporting on oppressive regimes, the British lawyer’s husband took up deserved real estate in her acceptance speech on the night. “Venice is the place where almost nine years ago we were married. As we sailed through the city in the last two days,…

SAVVY SPENDING ISSUE! With the financial squeeze replacing COVID-19 as our primary source of stress, it’s one of life’s ironies that money can be a major barrier when seeking therapy. A staggering 59 per cent of women say their mental health has been affected by the cost of living, according to new research from the Liptember Foundation. Yet a further one in three say that they aren’t seeking help because they can’t afford it. Mental health expert and Liptember Foundation advisory panel member Madhavi Nawana Parker says there are accessible options available. “I think we need more information out there, so that people know, OK, I can get this for free or at a reduced fee,” she explains. “A lot of people really don’t know that exists.” PRIORITISE YOURSELF Over…

What advice do you have for anyone preparing to shop a big online sale? 1. A wishlist is your best friend. Anytime you look online, add to a virtual shortlist so when sales come around you can quickly check if any of those items are discounted. You can even create boards on The Iconic, which is a really great way to organise your fashion like a Pinterest board. 2. Use filters. When the sale hits, I personally like to filter by Price Low to High to get the best bargains. You can also filter to your favourite brands. 3. Have a shopping list ready. Knowing what you’ve been holding out for to go on sale will help you avoid spending money on items you may not necessarily need. What…

Beauty, glamour and the year’s most-anticipated films brought the Italian island of Lido to life once again for the 80th Venice International Film Festival. And while most of the world’s biggest stars were forced to withdraw from the dazzling spectacle due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes, there were enough famous faces to make it another successful red carpet extravaganza. From Rita Ora and her husband Taika Waititi, to Barbara Palvin, Patrick Dempsey, Kate Beckinsale, Sydney Sweeney, and Adam Driver – there was no shortage of celeb sightings. Driver earned a six-minute standing ovation for his “gripping and masterful” portrayal of legendary sportscar magnate, Enzo Ferrari, in Ferrari. The acknowledgment brought the American actor to tears in the packed cinema. But the star who garnered the most hype during the…

On September 4, former Smash Mouth singer Steve Harwell died of acute liver failure at age 56.“A larger-than-life character who shot up into the sky like a Roman candle,”the band posted in tribute on social media.“Rest in peace knowing you aimed for the stars, and magically hit your target.” Harwell and his three bandmates formed Smash Mouth in 1994, enjoying early success with 1997’s‘Walkin’on the Sun.’ Their biggest hit,‘All Star’, was featured on the Shrek soundtrack in 2001 and has since racked up close to a billion Spotify streams. In 2021, Harwell abruptly announced he was leaving the band.“I’ve tried so hard to power through my physical and mental health issues … but I just wasn’t able to,” he said in a statement.…

Casey Donovan is one of the 73,000 punters plotting their escape from the washed-out Burning Man festival. The 35-year-old managed to find some “emergency Wi-Fi”in America’s remote Black Rock Desert to update her fans and loved ones from the deadly flood disaster. “When rain happens – not that it happens often – it is a literal mud pile,”she said via Instagram. “I’m thinking I might be a little stuck here until it all dries up … but forecast is more rain … I’m a celebrity, get me out of here!” Donovan did make light of the situation, but other campers took to social media to detail how they’ve been seeking shelter in sodden tents, rationing food and dealing with flooded portaloos. As WHO went to print, tens of thousands of…

Over a year after her son’s birth via surrogate in July 2022, Khloé Kardashian has finally settled on a legal name for her second child. The reality star and Good American co-founder, 39, initially listed his name as Baby Kardashian on his birth certificate. At the time of the birth, she had split with his father, basketball star Tristan Thompson (also the father of her daughter True, 5), after she claimed he“encouraged”her to do an embryo transfer days before the news broke that he had fathered a child with another woman. The co-parents have since become more amicable, especially since the loss of Thompson’s mother in January, and filed paperwork earlier this year to change their son’s name to Tatum Thompson, which was granted on August 31.…

Ahead of their 11th wedding anniversary on September 9, Ryan Reynolds, famous for his hilarious online trolling of his wife, Blake Lively, was uncharacteristically sincere when posting a tribute to celebrate her 36th birthday. “The only thing irrevocably mine in the world is the love and appreciation and awe I feel for this person,” he captioned a carousel of pics on August 25. “Witnessing her life is something I couldn’t take for granted if I tried. And believe me, I try. Happy Birthday … You hung the damn moon.” The couple have three daughters – James, 8, Inez, 6, and Betty, 3 – and a baby born in February. “I just think they are going to literally separate their own eyeballs rolling them around me,” Reynolds, 46, has joked of…

Remembering QUEEN ELIZABETH II While September 8, 2022 may have started as just another ordinary day at their home in Windsor, it soon became one that Prince William and Princess Catherine will never forget. The couple’s lives changed forever in an instant when they lost not only the Queen but their beloved family matriarch with the death of Elizabeth II. To mark the first anniversary of the occasion, the Prince and Princess of Wales, both 41, will make a poignant pilgrimage to St David’s Cathedral in Wales to lead tributes to her. But in the past year, the Queen has been at the forefront of everything they do. William and Kate have not only strived to make his grandmother proud as they’ve continued her work, but they’ve moulded themselves…

SAVVY SPENDING ISSUE! COMPILED BY: AMBER BRAMBLE Everyone loves a bargain, but in the rush of trying to snap up a great deal we can make some pretty swift decisions. Most of us know the sinking feeling that comes when we realise we’re already over an outfit before we’ve taken it out of the bag. Research by AAMI says that 96 per cent of Aussies are familiar with bargain regret – and it costs an average of around $4000 a year. Financial expert Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon says the current cost of living has enhanced our thirst for a better deal. “The hip pocket pain is acute around the country, and we’re seeing people adopt this bargainseeking mentality, which makes perfect sense. They’re not necessarily spending less, but they’re looking for that…

NEW GUY IN TOWN Hamm takes on the role of media executive Paul Marks. He quickly forms a working alliance with Alex, but is the relationship more than professional? “It’s a lot more sensual this year,” Aniston teased of the new season. It’s the show that lifts the veil on the behind-the-scenes backstabbing and politics of breakfast TV, all while pitting Jennifer Aniston’s character Alex against Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley. But the new season will see old foes turned friends as they team up to face an even greater threat. Here, WHO dishes the dirt on everything you need to know about Season 3 of Morning Wars. THE PLOT Picking up a few months after the 2021 finale, when Alex had just caught COVID, the new season will leave the virus…

It wasn’t just the hearts of readers that the ingenious and resourceful character Holly Gibney stole – it was her creator’s too. “I could never let [her] go,” says King, the celebrated master of creep. “She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr. Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. Holly is all her.” In his latest page-turner, Holly, a private detective, takes on the case of a missing young woman which will see her face a pair of depraved and ruthless foes. And King has revealed there’s even more in store for the female protagonist, telling podcast Talking Scared he’s already working on another book, We Think Not, in which she’ll lead the action. Not only that, the 75-year-old is writing…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Quite often with my bestie Leigh Sales and it doesn’t have to be in person or on the phone. It can be something ridiculous on text that sets us off. What was the last thing you bought online and immediately regretted? A sequin top for the AACTA Awards in Sydney when Muster Dogs was nominated. It was black tie and I’d left my shopping too late. When I pulled it out of the bag, the sequins started falling off almost immediately. I’m still picking them up. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? I thought watching And Just Like That… was going to be my guilty pleasure and I settled in with that feeling – and then I hated it. I…
