As the Kate conspiracy went into overdrive this week – with wild death rumours, lookalike claims and even Kim Kardashian weighing in – we bring you up to speed on page 14. Somewhere else I’d also love to be this week – over in New York at West Village restaurant Via Carota, where Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid packed on the PDA in a rare display.

Vivacious celebrant Lucinda Light had done the work on herself and was wholeheartedly ready to commit to the right partner when she started her “rollercoaster” journey on Married at First Sight. But in the end, the same couldn’t be said for her on-screen husband, Timothy Smith, and after weeks of ups and downs, the couple left their fans crushed when they both wrote ‘leave’. “It was a bit disappointing, but I suppose I just came to a point, really, recognising that we are really different. I need something different for myself,” Lucinda tells WHO. “It was bittersweet. Sometimes when we let go and say the absolute ‘no’, that leaves space for the big giant ‘yes’ that’s more aligned.” As much as Lucinda, 43, “was still holding hope” that things would…

It’s been almost four months since Netflix star Matt Wright was committed to stand trial, accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice concerning his alleged actions after the Northern Territory helicopter crash that killed his best mate and Outback Wrangler co-star, Chris ‘Willow’ Wilson. And according to Matt’s wife Kaia, the TV star is struggling as he faces a slew of criminal and civil charges over the 2022 tragedy. “It’s so hard to see such a positive person so down and broken,” she told The Sunday Telegraph. “When I talk about what we are going through, I check myself because it’s not about us, it’s about Willow, and there are so many people who have been impacted, none more so than his family.” As part of his bail…

It’s no wonder Elle Macpherson goes “to bed with a smile”. She’s got a lot to be thankful for – a career spanning more than 40 years, two handsome sons, movie credits alongside George Clooney and Anthony Hopkins, a stand-out brand in the multi-billion-dollar wellness industry and, of course, she’s still got her supermodel good looks. For the Sydney-raised, Florida-based Macpherson, feeling good on the inside has always been paramount to her vitality. But the woman who was nicknamed ‘The Body’ – for obvious reasons – wants fans to know, as she celebrates her 60th birthday, that everyone is on their own path. “I’ve come to understand it’s not wise to be like anyone else. You have to be your actual self,” she told Sydney Morning Herald this month. “What…

Having spent years on the circuit as an ironwoman, there is no doubt that Candice Warner is a fierce competitor. Not only was she the youngest ever female in the sport to go professional at just 14, she’s claimed multiple state titles and Australian medals. But when it comes to her stint in the jungle on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Candice insists she isn’t the one to beat. In fact, she’ll be happy just to make it through the first nights in camp. “Honestly, I’m pretty fearful of a lot of things,” the 39-year-old admits to WHO with a laugh on the eve of her jetting off to South Africa. “I don’t like snakes, I don’t like bugs and I’ve never tried to go camping. If…

PACK APUNCH ”[Director Doug Liman] always does action in a different way, and he came to me and said, ‘I want to do fights in away that has never been done before,’” Gyllenhaal told Total Film. He said Liman became “obsessed” with how punches would land. Having trained for months to play a former UFC fighter who becomes a bar bouncer in Road House, a modern reboot of the 1989 cult classic starring Patrick Swayze, Jake Gyllenhaal ironically found himself impressed watching his co-star, UFC champ Conor McGregor, learn how not to fight. “He had to unlearn things that would normally be second nature,” the actor told Vulture magazine. “His precision as a professional fighter was very helpful because it’s so much better when you’re working with someone who knows…

When Shanti Cooper came across David Tronnes on a dating website in 2013, he quickly swept her off her feet. Things moved fast, with Tronnes packing up his life in Minnesota to move across the country to join the single mum and her son Jackson at their home in Orlando, Florida. While Tronnes was unemployed, Shanti wasn’t too worried because he claimed to be rich, saying he’d inherited at least $6 million from his dad. But when her new beau failed to help out with any bills or pay for a meal out, she became a bit suspicious. Her fears were allayed in 2015, though, when Tronnes forked out just over $900,000 in cash on a nearby Victorian-style home. With a pool and plenty of charm, it would make the…

Most of us enjoyed painting, storytelling and other creative activities as kids, but as we get older, a lot of us let artistic pursuits fall by the wayside. However, Tammi Miller, therapist and author of Paperback Therapy, says anyone has the power to be creative. Here’s how to reclaim that spark! MORE OF THIS: TIME OUTDOORS Appreciating nature through the outdoors is a great way to cultivate creativity, especially if you take notice. Give yourself a challenge each time you go outdoors to ensure you really connect – find 20 purple things in nature or take photos of five unique spiderweb shapes. LESS OF THIS: TIME CONSTRAINTS Limiting your creative time adds external pressure, which you don’t need while creating. Try to avoid picking up your paintbrush or pen when…

Vitamins and ingestibles can be wonderful tools for wellness, but at the end of the day it’s your whole lifestyle that should be considered when it comes to sustainable living. Author and founder of JS Health, Jessica Sepel, shares her inside-out approach with us. DAY TO DAY “Your wellness journey is one that is ongoing,” says Sepel. “It’s rooted in the daily choices we make, from the food we consume to the time we set aside for rest and self-care. Life is so busy, I encourage everyone to carve out a little ‘me’ time each day – even if it’s just 10 minutes for meditation, a few minutes in the sun at lunchtime, a night walk after dinner, or a bath or shower by candlelight.” LISTEN UP Supplements are not…

It’s suddenly very hot in here! We can confirm Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are getting serious after they were captured kissing and cuddling in New York City recently. Hadid, 28, and Cooper, 49, were out celebrating their friend, Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski, for his 40th birthday at West Village hotspot Via Carota when they engaged in PDA at the dinner table. It marks a change in gears for the duo, who went from simply “having fun” to confirming their relationship status for fans. Though, it appears they have been serious for some time. Back in January, Cooper and Hadid joined his mother Gloria for dinner in Los Angeles. “Bradley and Gigi looked happy together,” a source told People at the time. “They weren’t overly affectionate, but it was…

Even before Season 11 of Farmer Wants a Wife had wrapped, Andrew Coleman knew that he had found ‘The One’ in Claire Saunders. Now he’s proven it by proposing! “I knew from very early on,”he told WHO at the time. “There were a lot of common interests and both of our upbringings on the land …But on a more deeper level, I just got to love learning more about Claire. She’s kind and caring, outgoing and adventurous.” On March 18, a day after Andrew had popped the question, Claire shared a picture of her emerald engagement ring, taken on their farm in Narromine, NSW. “I said YES to the love of my life,”she wrote. “So absolutely grateful that I wake up to this life every day. You are my best…

In a new video showing her walking through a carpark outside the Windsor Farm Shop on March 16, the Princess of Wales flashes her smile and chats to husband Prince William as the pair visit the store located not far from their Adelaide Cottage home. “Kate looked happy and relaxed,” eyewitness Nelson Silva, who captured the footage on his mobile, tells TMZ. “They look happy just to be able to go to a shop and mingle.” While the palace didn’t set up or endorse the photo op, they must have been hoping that the low-key outing would help quell speculation over Kate’s whereabouts. Gossip and conspiracy theories – ranging from death claims to suggestions she’d been replaced by a lookalike and everything in between – have flourished online since the…

HER STRUGGLE In an interview with CBS in 2023, Bündchen spoke of having panic attacks at the height of her modelling career. “I was in tunnels; I couldn’t breathe. And then, I started being in studios, and I felt, like, suffocated,” she told the show. A year ago, Gisele Bündchen referred to her divorce from former NFL star Tom Brady as “the death of my dream” in an interview with Vanity Fair. “It’s tough because you imagine your life was going to be a certain way, and you did everything you could, you know?” she said in March 2023, months after the pair announced that they had “amicably” finalised their divorce in October 2022. “I believed in fairy tales when I was a kid… You give 100 per cent of…

GRETA LEE She’s no newbie to Hollywood, but it’s only recently that actress Greta Lee confessed she’s had many career “pinch me” moments. After supporting roles in a range of TV series, such as Girls, Russian Doll and The Morning Show, the 41-year-old was vaulted into awards contention this season with her leading role in the year’s biggest indie romcom, Past Lives – earning both a Critics Choice and Golden Globes nod for Best Actress. “Nicolas Cage was like, ‘I love Past Lives.’ What? That’s insane,” a bewildered Lee told The Cut recently. RENEÉ RAPP Her role in Mindy Kaling’s The Sex Lives of College Girls may have kicked off her career, but Reneé Rapp has since seen her fame skyrocket after uttering Regina George’s infamous Mean Girls line, “Get…

Valerie Casler was a homeless sex worker living in Anchorage, Alaska, in 2019 when South African immigrant Brian Smith picked her up in his truck. When he stopped at a Shell petrol station to grab some cash for her, Casler stole his phone and fled, hoping she could trade it for food or drugs. But later, when she looked through the mobile, Casler found 39 photos and 12 videos of a woman being tortured, taunted and killed. “In my movies, everybody always dies,” states a voice narrating the video. “What are my followers going to think of me? People need to know when they are being serial-killed.” The footage was so shocking, she knew she needed to turn it over to the police, despite her own petty theft. “It showed…

To many of her almost 2.5 million followers, Ruby Franke was the kind of mother they aspired to be. Tuning in each week to her 8 Passengers YouTube account, Franke’s fans lapped up parenting advice from the mum-of-six, but beneath the picture-perfect façade, nothing was as it seemed. In August 2023, Franke was arrested after her malnourished son, Russell, climbed out of a window at the home of her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, to ask for food and water from a neighbour. The boy was covered in open wounds and still had duct tape attached that had been used to bind him. “His ankles are taped up and he won’t tell us why,” the neighbour said in a call to emergency services. “He says what’s happened to him is his…

Her week started with a standing ovation and ended with her “whole life” burning to the ground. On March 15, at 3.57am, emergency services were called to a blaze at Cara Delevingne’s $10 million Los Angeles home. Two hours and 94 firefighters later, the entire property succumbed to the flames, which her mother, Pandora, and father, Charles, said was the result of an electrical issue caused by “very windy” conditions. Pandora confirmed the news to TMZ, telling reporters the 31-year-old model was devastated. “She had everything in her house. Her whole life,” Pandora continued, as she and Charles waited outside London’s Playhouse Theatre where their youngest daughter was performing in Cabaret. “My heart is broken today … I cannot believe it.

As Christina Applegate comes to terms with living with multiple sclerosis, she is speaking out with a raw honesty she says she hasn’t expressed since finding fame in 1987 as a teenager on the sitcom Married… with Children. “I’ve been playing a character called Christina for 40 years, who I wanted everybody to think I was because it’s easier,” she told Good Morning America on March 13. “I was kind of putting on a little act for everybody for so long because I just thought that was easier – be light, be funny … don’t make people uncomfortable. And I don’t care anymore.” TINY CHANGES “My symptoms had started in the early part of 2021, and it was literally just tingling on my toes,” Applegate told Good Morning America. “And…

When 9-year-old Shannon Matthews disappeared while walking home from a swimming lesson, hundreds of neighbours in Dewesbury, West Yorkshire, joined in the search after watching her mother Karen plead for the safe return of her “beautiful princess daughter” while sobbing on TV. More than 250 officers and 60 detectives quizzed 1500 motorists and searched 3000 addresses in February 2008 during a hunt that is estimated to have cost over $6 million. It became West Yorkshire Police’s biggest operation since the search for the Yorkshire Ripper roughly three decades earlier. Twenty-four days after she went missing, the school girl was found, crying, drugged and tethered to the base of a bed inside a grotty flat, thanks to a tip-off. “I reached over, picked Shannon up and carried her out,” Detective Constable…
