It must be springtime working its magic because love is most definitely in the air for so many of our favourite celebrities and stars. Sophie Turner seems to have bounced back from her split with husband Joe Jonas for a dalliance with a British aristocrat (p. 10). Newly divorced Sofía Vergara has been seen out again with the man said to be making her forget all about ex Joe Manganiello (p. 9). Back home, there’s a sports match made in heaven with Matildas star Mary Fowler and NRL star Nathan Cleary looking loved up for all to see (p. 14). And then there’s John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, 15 years together and still going strong (p. 18). Heading in to summer, WHO’s Lifestyle team have put together a special Sun…

After what some fans dubbed the “longest pregnancy in the history of the Kardashians”, Kourtney Kardashian Barker has finally given birth to her fourth child. The 44-year-old and her husband, Travis, welcomed a son – believed to be named Rocky Thirteen – recently and she is said to be ecstatic about the arrival of their first child together. “Kourtney is over the moon about her son’s arrival,” a source told People magazine of the newest member of the family. “Her pregnancy took a stressful turn towards the end. [So] she is happy to just be able to snuggle her baby boy now. She feels so blessed.” As for Barker, the insider explained he “keeps being amazing”. “He makes sure she has everything that she needs,” the source added. “He is…

They don’t call Paris ‘The City of Love’ for nothing, as Sophie Turner discovered during a recent trip to the French capital. And the actress, who is famed for playing Lady Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, could be in line for a real royal title after locking lips with a British aristocrat. Turner, 27, was spotted kissing Peregrine ‘Perry’ Pearson – heir to the 4th Viscount Cowdray – on October 28. The 29-year-old blue blood is the ex of Princess Maria Olympia of Greece, with the pair splitting in September. An eye witness told The Sun that Turner and Pearson were talking and laughing, then shared a kiss at the Gare du Nord railway station before being picked up in separate cars. They later attended the Rugby World Cup…

Emily Blunt has been one busy woman. The award-winning actress received critical acclaim for her performance in Christopher Nolan’s nuclear epic Oppenheimer, which premiered just before the SAG-AFTRA strike began in July. This month she can be seen in David Yates’ Netflix conspiracy drama Pain Hustlers, before being back on the big screen once again early next year in the highly-anticipated action flick The Fall Guy, co-starring Ryan Gosling. So it came as no surprise when Blunt announced she was taking a little hiatus from Hollywood to spend more time with daughters Hazel, 9, and Violet, 7, who she shares with husband John Krasinski. “This year, I’m not working. I worked quite a bit last year and my oldest baby is 9, so we’re in the last year of single…

When Brooke Boney steps out on stage to host Australian music’s night of nights on November 15, she’ll be taking outfit inspiration from a very iconic Aussie artist. “I sent Sonia [of Cappellazzo Couture] some inspo of Kylie [Minogue]’s dress that she wore back in the early noughties when she won all those awards for ‘Light Years’,” the 35-year-old tells WHO of her gown for the 2023 ARIA Awards. “It’s very exciting.” The choice for what Boney admits is a “dream gig”, also feels a little full circle considering her earliest exposure to music. “I’ve always been in that household where there’s music playing all the time, [but] my first cassette was Kylie’s ‘Word Is Out’,” she explains. “So it feels like a real pinch-me moment that this is actually…

AFFAIR RUMOUR Not everyone was convinced of Johnson’s claim.“There’s nothing demonic in this,”said brother Carl Glatzel of the killing.“Arne was very possessive of Debbie. There was speculations and rumours that Debbie was having an affair with Alan.” Schoolboy David Glatzel was sweeping his bedroom at his home in Brookfield, Connecticut in 1980, when he says something forced him backwards onto his bed. Turning to his left, the 11-year-old saw a figure in his room that resembled a Halloween devil’s costume. “His eyes were black … and it scared me,” David, now 54, says in the recently-released The Devil On Trial. It said things to him, too. “He wants my soul,” he told his mother Judy that night. Whatever occurred that day, it marked the beginning of a disturbing family odyssey…

THE SUNSMART ISSUE KEEP ME IN YOUR BAG!* $32.95 Cancer Council Moisturising Sunscreen SPF50+ terrywhitechemmart.com.au *ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Whether you were a dedicated sunbaker in the ’70s or grew up during the slip, slop, slap campaign in the ’80s and ’90s, our understanding of sun protection has definitely improved. While we try our best to be sun smart today, sometimes we still get it wrong, which is one of the reasons why skin cancer is still our national cancer – and by a long shot. “Melanoma is our most common cancer by at least 80 per cent of the total number of cancers diagnosed each year,” explains Cancer Council NSW head of skin cancer prevention, Liz King. “Australia and New Zealand are…

Sunscreen is the most important skincare product you need in summer. While you may have mastered the basics of sun protection, there’s more to the slip, slop, slap routine than you think. Here’s all the need-to-know for getting the most out of your favourite SPF. SPF EXPLAINED There are two main components to understand when it comes to sunscreen. The first is SPF – sun protection factor – which measures the level of UVB protection a sunscreen provides. The highest SPF in Australia and New Zealand is 50+. The second is the term “broad spectrum” in SPF formulas, which refers to sunscreens that protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. TOP TIP Sunscreen is just one form of protection against UV exposure. Make sure you wear protective clothing,…

This could help a lot, especially if things have turned rather sour in the recent past. Focus on moving forward instead of dredging up the past. Do you want to be happy or do you want to be right? CANCER JUN. 21–JUL. 21 Speak up now or forever hold your peace. It might be time to reveal your true feelings in a romantic situation.

The ball is in your court regarding the direction this takes. LIBRA SEP.…

FAMILY FEELS While Lasance saw some success in Hollywood, his biggest score came when he landed his US-born wife Jordan. The pair share a 7-year-old daughter, Charlie Rose, and quietly welcomed their second child, a boy named Beau, in July. It might be the fifth series to make up the NCIS franchise – joining the likes of NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans and NCIS: Hawaii – but being the first international iteration (not to mention, on his home soil), NCIS: Sydney star Todd Lasance says this show might be the best one yet. “It absolutely has a complete fresh Aussie spin on it,” the 38-year-old tells WHO.“We are going big with this new series and introducing super exciting elements that really haven’t been seen before and incorporating the AFP…

There’s been plenty of emotions on this year’s season of The Block, but contestant Kristy Beams was only feeling one after the show’s auction day took a dramatic turn on November 5. “Livid is a word that would come to mind,” she admitted to WHO on-set following her and husband Brett’s disappointing result. After watching House 4’s Steph and Gian clinch a whopping $1.65 million profit, followed closely by House 5’s Eliza and Liberty’s $1.05 million win, it came as a massive blow to Kristy and Brett when bids barely made it over their reserve price. And the 34-year-old didn’t mince her words when putting the blame squarely on their real estate team.“Our agent literally s--t the bed with our game plan of what we said that we were going…

She wasted no time getting back on the dating scene after announcing her divorce from Joe Manganiello in July and insiders have revealed that Sofía Vergara’s new beau, Justin Saliman, could be more than just a rebound fling. The couple stepped out for dinner at celebrity hot spot, Giorgio Baldi, in Santa Monica on November 4 – with the actress, 51, looking absolutely smitten with the Beverly Hills-based orthaopedic surgeon. “Sofía has moved on from Joe and would be happy to never see him again. Her relationship with Justin has made her never look back,” an insider told DailyMail.com, adding that Vergara is “moving fast” and “falling in love”. “Justin is absolutely charming, and handsome, and has an incredible job. He isn’t an actor and is very confident and she…

Erin Patterson faced court on November 3, charged with three counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder. The 49-year-old mum is accused of killing her former in-laws, Don and Gail Patterson, both 70, and Gail’s sister Heather Wilkinson, 66, after allegedly serving them poisonous mushrooms for lunch on July 29. She is also charged with the attempted murder of Heather’s husband Ian, 68, who spent close to two months in hospital critically ill after the meal. Police also allege she attempted to murder her ex-husband Simon on at least four occasions, dating back to 2021, court documents revealed. Prosecutors asked the court for 20 weeks to prepare and serve a brief of evidence on Patterson’s lawyers. She was remanded in custody and will next face court via video…

There’s something about Mary Fowler. The Matildas star, 20, is Australia’s newest It Girl thanks to her prowess on the soccer pitch. While the whole country has fallen head over heels for her – Fowler’s only got eyes for one of her fans, and that’s Nathan Cleary, 25. Sports’ new power couple made their romantic relationship official on November 1, when they were spotted cuddling in a Perth park ahead of her match against the Philippines later that day. The PDA in WA comes three months after Fowler and the Penrith Panthers star first sparked romance rumours when they were pictured strolling along the banks of the Nepean River, and then again in August when they got together for an ice cream date following an Adidas event. FANS FUMING Matildas…

Inter view TOM AMOS Harmer is a regular on radio and TV. Wendy Harmer has had a lifelong love affair with the news. In fact, the woman who has gone on to become one of Australia’s premier journalists and comedians took her first steps into the world of media at just 12 by starting her own newspaper. “We lived on Greenwell Road so it was called the Greenwell Gazette and I handed out a copy to all my neighbours but it got closed after only one issue,” the 68-year-old tells WHO. “I thought I had a real frontpage scoop for my readers and I reported on the bloke across the road who’d crashed his truck through the front fence when he was DUI, so my headline was ‘Ray was drunk’.…

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to watch a documentary about yourself? For Robbie Williams, being the subject of his own self-titled Netflix offering was a wig out. It was also cathartic, yet trauma-inducing. After 25 years as a solo artist, Williams was forced to reflect on his younger self, primarily in his Take That heyday. “It was like watching a crash you were involved in, but in slow-mo,” he recently told The Times of the documentary. “[Making the documentary] was like enduring your mental illness at a very, very slow pace, over a very, very long time.” As a member of one of the world’s biggest boy bands in the ’90s, Robbie was a celebrity of epic proportions. Princess Diana was the British group’s number-one fan, and Williams…

THE SUNSMART ISSUE Nothing says summer like going for a walk outdoors or taking your workout to the park, but along with UV exposure, the sun can also affect us in other ways. As the mercury starts to climb, those scorching Aussie temperatures can often cause problems for our bodies – dehydration being the most common risk, according to Sam Waller, fitness expert and owner of Stepz Fitness.There are also more severe risks, including heat exhaustion, which, if left untreated, can lead to heat stroke, which is a life-threatening medical emergency. “Luckily, you can manage the risk by adapting workout intensity and ensuring you’re adequately hydrated,” says Waller. With more sunny days on the horizon, Waller shares his tips on how to exercise safely in hot weather. WHO IS AT…

We’ve been waxing lyrical about SPF and skin protection for the summer, but what about our hair? While we’re frolicking in the sun and having the time of our lives, our locks are actually taking quite the hit. Between the glaring heat, humidity, wind and salty water, our strands usually emerge from a day at the beach a little more crispy than when we started. And though we love the beachy look, it’s certainly not the best for overall hair health, contributing to hair breakage and brittleness over time. In fact, research has found that excessive sun exposure is the most damaging factor on the overall structure of your hair, with UVA rays fading your colour and UVB leading to breakage. UV light also works to degrade hair proteins and…

It was during the COVID lockdowns that journalist Rachelle Unreich had a brilliant idea, an idea that would culminate into A Brilliant Life, a tome about her mother Mira Blumenstock’s survival. You see, Mira survived Holocaust. “I realised that readers could benefit from my mother’s lessons,”the author explained, so, she sat down with the family matriarch and recorded hours of interviews. “She was inspiring, and not only overcame one of the world’s worst periods in history, but thrived afterwards. As a journalist of 38 years, I also wanted to uncover what I felt was a mysteryy underlying her survival – what did all the inexplicable occurrences that kept happening around her really mean?” For Unreich, it wasn’t so much about preserving the past, but about “incorporating it into the present”.…

After weeks of laying low thanks to the Hollywood strikes, the stars were out in stylish fashion on November 4 for the 12th annual Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Film Gala. Celebrities including Kirsten Dunst, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Chastain glammed up as they hit the red carpet, helping to raise over $7 million for the museum. Ball gowns, mini dresses and everything in between were on full display – as long as it was Gucci. With the Italian design house’s new Creative Director, Sabato De Sarno, serving as a gala co-chair, many of the women attending looked very glamorous in the brand’s designs. Picking what to wear wasn’t an issue for many with A$AP Rocky, Elliot Page and Pedro Pascal debuting sartorial choices from the first official…

Less than a week after his tragic death, Matthew Perry has been farewelled by friends and family at a ceremony at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles on November 3. Jennifer Aniston was reportedly “one of the first to arrive” at the private funeral, followed by their Friends co-stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc. The cemetery – which also serves as a final resting place for many Hollywood stars such as Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor – is opposite Warner Bros. Studios, where Perry played his beloved Friends character, Chandler Bing, for a decade. He died aged 54 in an apparent drowning accident at his Pacific Palisades, California, home on October 28.…

Famed for her beauty since she was just a child, it’s hard to believe that even Brooke Shields could ever have felt insecure over her good looks. But following a sudden health scare, the actress feels free to prioritise her wellbeing over chasing the fountain of youth. “I had a full-blown grand mal seizure…” the 58-year-old told Glamour in an interview, as she was named one of the magazine’s 2023 Women of the Year. The condition, now referred to as a tonic-clonic seizure, causes the sufferer to completely lose consciousness while they have violent muscle contractions. It is often caused by epilepsy or a stroke. “Everything starts to go black. Then my hands drop to my side and I go headfirst into the wall,” Shields explained of the scary experience.…

When journalist and author Marisa Meltzer sat down to write her next book, she never intended it to be herself solely about billionaire beauty brand, Glossier, or it’s founder – the formidable Emily Weiss. “It started a little bit more as a book largely about the beauty industry itself and the power of it,” she tells WHO from New York. “Later on, I realised that instead of following a few different brands, that the story of Glossier was kind of dwarfing all of the other stories.” For the uninitiated, Glossier – which finally started shipping to Australia last month – has been touted as one of the most disruptive brands in beauty. Launched in 2014 with a mere four products, it quickly became known as the millennial beauty brand, burning…

THE SUNSMART ISSUE As Oceana Strachan sat waiting to have a melanoma removed in 2021, one thing that struck her was how lonely she felt. “When I was diagnosed I was super young. I was 25, and I was told I had a melanoma,” the Aussie model recalls. Strachan’s worst fears had just been confirmed when doctors told her that a tiny skin lesion on her right ankle was a deadly skin cancer. “I remember looking around the waiting room before I had my melanoma removed. I don’t think there was anyone under 60,” she says. “So I just felt really isolated at the time.” While melanoma is more common in older adults it doesn’t discriminate, and it’s the most common cancer for Australians aged 20 to 39. Despite numerous…

MOVIE THE MARVELS The latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – the 33rd! – picks up the stories of Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) from 2019 film Captain Marvel, and Disney+ series WandaVision and Ms. Marvel respectively. In this new movie, the three super-powered women work together when their powers become linked and they swap places whenever any of them use their skills. Samuel L. Jackson also reprises his role as Nick Fury. (In cinemas now)  MORE INSIDE! NCIS DOWN UNDER Todd Lasance is right at home in spin-off series NCIS: Sydney. A NEW TYPE OF REALITY Succession’s Brian Cox calls the shots in a new high-stakes game. SANDRA GETS OUTRAGEOUS The award-winning actress on going for big laughs in Quiz…

We know that Sandra Oh can be funny. It’s just that the characters she’s best known for – Cristina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy and Killing Eve’s Eve Polastri – are incredibly serious women, who just happen to be amusing because of how tightly wound they are. While Oh got to throw off a sarcastic comment or withering look in those roles, her latest character is deliberately laugh-out-loud funny. The 52-year-old actress plays Jenny Yum in new comedy Quiz Lady about a pair of sisters scrambling to pay off their mother’s gambling debts. While Jenny is, in the words of director Jessica Yu, “irresponsible and disorganised all the time”, younger sister Anne (Awkwafina) is the straight-laced, responsible one – a fun reversal of the types of characters the two actresses often…

What was the last guilty pleasure you indulged in? Three spoonfuls of Nutella. Straight out of the jar. What was the last gift you received? For my birthday, my daughter Amelia made me a video of some special life moments. I bawled my eyes out. What was the last meal you cooked? Lamb chops, wilted spinach and mushrooms in butter with spring onions and a squeeze of lemon. Last time you stayed up late? Just before the actors’ strike began in Hollywood, I had a 2am interview with Nicole Kidman about her new series Special Ops: Lioness. Definitely worth staying up for! What was your last TV obsession? One Night starring Jodie Whittaker, Yael Stone, Nicole da Silva and Kat Stewart. Last time you laughed until you cried? Believe it…
