Innholdsfortegnelse for Issue 4, 2024 i WHO

There are so many things about this issue that have me very excited! First up, can we give it up for the fabulous Ricki-Lee, who not only looks sensational in our exclusive photoshoot on page 14, but bares her soul about life, love and Australian Idol – which returns to the screens of Channel 7 on Jan. 29 by the way – in the accompanying interview, only with WHO. It’s a must-read! Secondly, we need to talk about the awards show roll we’re on right now and how thrilling it was to see the stars step out in all their finery for the Emmys (page 6). Check out a refreshingly candid chat with award-winner Sarah Snook on page 18 and be surprised by her secret struggle. Finally, how do you…

They’ve danced the night away and now Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are stepping out together. The genetically blessed couple grabbed dinner together with friends on January 14 at R+D Kitchen in Los Angeles before attending a promotional event for Callum’s new TV series Masters of the Air. “It’s new, but they’re mad about each other,” an insider told Page Six. Whispers of a romantic connection between the Grammy-winning pop star and the British actor, who stars in George Clooney’s The Boys in the Boat alongside Joel Edgerton, first began when they were spotted getting close on the dance floor at an afterparty for the launch of Turner’s series earlier this month. Lipa, 28, reportedly only split from her previous partner, filmmaker Romain Gavras, a month ago. She has also…

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, who married in 2010 at a lavish ceremony hosted by George Clooney, have long been “couple goals”, so it’s no surprise that they have taken rumours that they’re on the rocks with a grain of salt. Talk of trouble emerged when the two were caught on camera on the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet, where Blunt was nominated for Oppenheimer, but ultimately lost to The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph. A now viral 10-second clip posted on broadcaster CBS’s official TikTok page saw millions of viewers attempting to decipher their muffled conversation, with many fans fearing Krasinksi had said something along the lines of “I can’t wait to divorce”. Amateur lip-readers got in on the act suggesting he said something like, “I can’t wait to get…

“There have been some days where I’ve had to go sit in the car and just cry for a while” When WHO spoke radio to Ricki-Lee Coulter at the start of 2023, she hinted that the year ahead was going to be huge. She wasn’t kidding. Kicking off the year by hosting the reboot of Australian Idol, landing herself apermanent spot on Nova’s drive show, plus writing and recording anew album in the midst of it all has been no easy feat for the star. “I would say that this has been probably the hardest year just in terms of workload and what I’ve taken on my plate, and trying to balance it all and juggle it all,” the 38-year-old admits when WHO caught up with her again this month.…

Rita Ora is at an all-time high in her life. She’s got music on the charts, she’s a panellist on the UK’s Masked Singer, and then there’s her gig as a mentor on The Voice Australia, which makes her a regular visitor Down Under. Being here in Oz is always special for Ora, because it’s where she fell in love with her husband, actor and director, Taika Waititi. It was 2021, and she was filming The Voice while he was in town shooting Thor: Love and Thunder. By 2022 they were married, but the milestone wasn’t announced until the following year. It was so secret that only eight close friends attended the LA nuptials at their home, while their parents Zoomed in from overseas. “I wanted to keep [the wedding]…

RING RIDDLE What started as Bloom stealing Perry’s burger at the Golden Globes in 2016 might have blossomed into a secret wedding. Perry was seen with a band on her ring finger after a festive getaway with her “insanely handsome” love. We were all giddy spectators in 2016 when Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry first locked eyes. The images snapped at the Golden Globes went viral, but what we didn’t know back then was that their very flirty exchange at an afterparty would develop into one of Hollywood’s greatest love stories. That February evening was Bloom’s sliding doors moment, a moment that kicked off their epic romance. “I had my security guard grab 10 In-N-Outs and all of a sudden I see my boyfriend’s hand – he wasn’t even sitting…

LEA MICHELE The actress revealed she has PCOS in 2019. As the old saying goes, there’s nothing wiser than a woman’s intuition – or listen to your gut. Whether you agree with that or not, the reality is our microbiome affects us in a number of surprising ways. Zoe Bingley-Pullin, nutritionist and consultant for Greencare Clinics, says our gut plays an important role in regulating multiple hormones, including oestrogen. While there’s a lot we still don’t know, this could have repercussions for women with hormonal conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). “We’re learning more and more about it,” she explains. “By not having a healthy diet and not having a healthy microbiome, we can actually see the impact this has on how we produce our hormones.” WHY IT…

If you’re dedicated to the crime-thriller genre, you would have read the Rizzoli &Isles series, or at least caught an episode of itsTV adaptation. Now, its authorTess Gerritsen is back with a whole new series, TheSpyCoast –and just like the others, it’s packed with suspense, twists and turns, and a killer plot. “It’s about a group of retired spies living in Maine. One of them, Maggie Bird, is already haunted by something that happened in the past. Then, adead body shows up on her driveway, and she realises it is a calling card from an operation that went badly wrong,”the bestselling author told Parade. Gerritsen called the writing journey an emotional one, because of the back story she’d created for Bird. It was this emotion that saw her pour her…

What was the last thing you learned about yourself? A boy called me ‘Daddy’ and I learned that I got old. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? People use ‘guilty pleasure’ to describe when they watch trash TV like The Real Housewives or eat cake, but I’m only ever watching and eating trash. I’ve never felt guilty about it. Why feel guilty about pleasure? Last time you lost your cool? I’m not sure I’ve ever had my cool to lose it in the first place. When was the last time you declared “Never again!”? After every single radio or podcast interview I’ve ever done. Last game you played? I’ve been doing a lot of high-stakes scissors, paper, rocks. The last one I did, the loser had to tell our friends…

The Princess of Wales will be out of action for a significant period as she recovers after undergoing a medical procedure. Kensington Palace announced on January 17 that the mum-of-three, 42, underwent a “planned abdominal surgery” at the private hospital, The London Clinic, on the previous day. “The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days, before returning home to continue her recovery,” the statement said. “Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.” Prince William is also expected to postpone royal duties and engagements so he can support his wife during her recovery as well as take care of their children. Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis,…

Celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge is finishing his family holiday in Thailand with an unwanted souvenir – 10 stitches to patch up a deep gash in his leg. After years of eating and serving up oysters, a bivalve got revenge on the My Kitchen Rules star when he slashed his leg after falling off his kayak while paddling with one of his daughters. “I grazed my leg on an oyster rock, which split it right open,”he recalled on Instagram. While the injury is there for all to see, exactly how he got it is a source of some debate among the Fassnidge clan. Fassnidge made out he was “saving” his daughter’s life pushing her back to shore. But his wife Jane can be heard in the background saying the water was…

It seems Saltburn star Barry Keoghan has anew love –and she looks alot like his ex! The Golden Globe nominee confirmed he’d parted ways with the mother of his 17-month-old son in arecent interview with GQ. While he didn’t provide details, he spoke fondly of ex, Scottish dentist Alyson, as “an incredible mother”. The 31-year-old Irish actor has since stepped out with US singer Sabrina Carpenter, 24 –with the duo spotted at dinner and at an art gallery. Despite moving on, Keoghan spoke candidly about the ‘beauty’of parenthood. “When he looks at you, you feel like the most important person in the world,”he said of son Brando.“That’s the effect he has on me. He smiles at you and you’re like,‘Wow, you’re smiling at me like that? I don’t deserve that,…

Griselda THE BRUTAL DRUG BOSS LEFT A TRAIL OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN HER WAKE The first of more than 200 murders that are attributed to Griselda Blanco allegedly came when she was just 11. Blanco is said to have kidnapped a boy from a wealthy family in 1954, whose life was ended when the ransom wasn’t paid. The Colombian-born cocaine trafficker carried on in that vein throughout her criminal career, dispensing with rivals and former husbands alike with a callousness and disregard for life that earned her the nickname Black Widow. Besides that murder, Blanco committed mostly petty crimes on the streets of Medellín until, at the age of 13, she met people smuggler Carlos Trujillo. As well as becoming involved in helping undocumented immigrants illegally cross the border…

There are so many myths about confidence. If we start to believe these myths, we can find ourselves living with self-doubt and selfsabotage. We can even begin to feel that confidence is out of reach for us. Here are some of the biggest confidence myths we have encountered or experienced throughout our lives. It’s time to squash these misconceptions and allow yourself to upgrade your confidence inside out. MYTH 1: YOU ARE BORN WITH CONFIDENCE Nobody is born with confidence; it’s something you develop and strive for as you go through life and experience new situations and environments. The good news is that confidence is a skill that can be learnt. Like any new skill, it takes time and effort to grow and nourish it. Confidence is like a muscle…

New sparkling wines aren’t created very often. Can you talk about this process and its significance for you? It certainly doesn’t happen often! Crafting sparkling is a long and detailed process, mainly because it involves two fermentations. Ovata has taken three years to bring to life – longer if you take into account some of the reserve parcels that we included in the final blend. Creating sparkling is a long, involved and very collaborative process, so it’s extremely satisfying to see Ovata finally come together. How did you get involved in the industry? From early on I had an interest in science, which led to university and a science degree majoring in chemistry and microbiology. My first role in the wine industry was as a microbiologist atYalumba, working closely with…

If Russell Howard doesn’t have an audience to perform to on a regular basis, he will find one – wherever he is.“I’ve got to get it out of my system and if I can’t then I’m a real nuisance in post offices and stuff. If I’ve got a thought, I’ll try and find a stranger to share it with,”he admits over Zoom to WHO. Having done more than 200 gigs in 2023 through the UK, Portugal and the US, Howard is returning to Australia for a string of shows around the country to wrap up his mammoth tour.“It’s been amazing, absolutely incredible. I’m really looking forward to travelling and doing it in Australia and seeing how it goes down.” How do you keep yourself sane being on the road so…

The silly season may feel like it’s only just finished for us regular folk, but Hollywood has well and truly entered their next era. Just a week after kicking things off with the Golden Globes, stars of the small screen stepped out to celebrate their successes at the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards on January 15. After a chaotic and colourful red – or rather, silver – carpet, which saw stars continue the glitz and glamour of awards season in a series of fabulous frocks, the ceremony got off to an emotional start when Christina Applegate was given a standing ovation while presenting the first award. “You’re shaming my disability by standing up,” she joked between tears. The Dead to Me star has only made rare public appearances since she…

As Channing Tatum and Zoё Kravitz get ready to exchange vows, the father-ofthe-bride is taking it all in his stride. Of course he is. He’s Lenny Kravitz. While other dads might be stressing about writing a speech, Kravitz says he’s just going to wing it. “It just comes at the moment. I don’t rehearse those things,” the 59-year-old told Entertainment Tonight at the 2024 Critics’ Choice Awards. The Grammy winner hinted that he’s open to performing at the nuptials but he won’t be sharing a dance floor with his future son-in-law. “I can’t mess with Magic Mike!” Whatever Kravitz brings to the event, guests should bring tissues, saying his words will come “from the heart”.…

Julia Roberts The Hollywood legend is extremely guarded when it comes to her personal life, but in 2002, she made a statement with a DIY T-shirt bearing the words “A Low Vera”. Roberts had met her now-husband Daniel Moder in 2000 on the set of the film The Mexican. At the time, Moder was married to makeup artist Vera Steimberg but the pair later split. Roberts always denied she was the cause of the break-up, saying in 2003: “He sorted his whole thing out, separate and apart from me. And I sorted my life out, separate and apart from him. I think that’s the only reason we were able to ultimately fall in love with each other and be together.” Even so, when the star stepped out in that T-shirt,…

If you don’t recognise the name, you will certainly be familiar with Bruna Papandrea’s work. While those who also work in front of the camera like Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Eric Bana usually get much of the credit, the producer is the Australian powerhouse behind hit films like Gone Girl and The Dry, and TV shows including Anatomy of a Scandal and Big Little Lies. Despite her golden touch, even Papandrea admits that she isn’t immune to the odd flop. “I get asked all the time if I knew Big Little Lies was going to be the big hit it was and the answer is no, it can be hard to tell,” the 52-year-old tells WHO. “In fact, I made something that I thought was going to be my…

FUTURE PLANS “Life is a little hectic right now so we’re just trying to take it day by day,” Blanchard said of her new life with Anderson. “We’re just trying to start off the marriage on a good foot before we bring kids into this situation right now.” Posing in a mirror with a ponytail cascading over her shoulder, Gypsy Rose Blanchard celebrated gaining parole after serving almost eight years of her decade-long sentence for second-degree murder with a social media splash. “First selfie of freedom,” she captioned the post. “You served,” commented one of her 8.2 million –and counting –followers. “Now it’s time to slay.” Blanchard, 32, had been behind bars since 2016 after pleading guilty to conspiring with her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to kill her 48-year-old mother, Dee…

There’s no denying we live in a podcastobsessed world, and who can blame us considering the number of A+ offerings we have – especially on our own doorstep? For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, storytelling is the beating heart of their culture, and as podcasting is the newest way for us to tell stories, it’s unsurprising some of the best podcasts showcase Indigenous voices. Whether you’re in the mood for deep conversations or a lighthearted take, we’ve rounded up some of the most noteworthy podcasts created by or featuring First Nations people. NOT SO PG Growing up without parental guidance can often force kids to take matters into their own hands. Luckily, Noongar-Yamatji youth worker and Bachelorette star Brooke Blurton and NITV broadcaster Matty Mills are drawing on their…

Featuring a drawstring, this scarf gives you multiple ways to wear it, including over the shoulders or over pants or a skirt. SPLURGE! When and how did Ngali start? Being a Wiradjuri woman living in Naarm (Melbourne), I wanted to make a greater contribution to all of our First Nations’ communities as I understood some of the challenges faced by our remote artists in both expanding their reach and increasing economic opportunities. I saw a very clear pathway to help create an additional income stream for these artists in a very culturally respectful way, so I started Ngali in 2018. The bigger vision for Ngali is to provide an additional public platform to promote and celebrate art whilst building purposeful collaborations with other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander creatives. You’ve…

GETTING PHYSICAL The Tourist is known for its stunts, which is part of the job that Dornan loves best. “There is loads more of that [action] this season,” he says. “I think [the show creators] get a good laugh out of putting me through it, but it’s fun.” Something very special happened to Jamie Dornan when he headed Down Under to film the first season of The Tourist in 2021. It turns out that the Irish actor fell head over heels in love. “Oh, the food in Australia, I miss it so much!” Dornan exclaims to WHO over Zoom as he and co-star Danielle Macdonald join us for a chat. “Caramel Tim Tams and those Chicken Crimpy [Shapes] biscuits are like crack to me! Dani has just flown in from…

CAHOKIA JAZZ by Francis Spufford Reimagining how American history would be different if, instead of being decimated, Indigenous populations had thrived, the author tells a thrilling tale of murder through the lens of a subtly altered 1920s.
