They say that when one door closes, another one opens – and I’m pretty sure it’s an analogy that is as relevant to career choices as it is to matters of the heart. For those who’ve been gripped by the shenanigans going on in this season of MAFS, there’s no doubt you’ve seen a lot of those doors banging open and shut! And what better way to celebrate the season finale than to chat to the couple behind the show’s biggest bombshell, Ellie and Jono, to get their take on it all! Turn to page 5 for all the goss. We also join Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on a red hot beach date in the Bahamas (page 6) and get all gooey-eyed as Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden share…

Geri and Christian Horner have chosen to get back on the horse – and in doing so, backed a winning one, too! The former Spice Girl and Christian put on a united front over the Easter break, stepping out in Buckinghamshire following the Formula 1 Red Bull team principal’s widely reported “sexting” scandal. The duo stood side by side as they cheered on Geri’s horse Lift Me Up, which stormed home to victory at the county’s Point to Point Races. The couple appeared happy and celebratory on the day, after weathering weeks of controversy. According to The Sun, while Christian was cleared of “coercive behaviour” alleged by a female Red Bull team staff member, there are still rumblings of issues within the organisation. For the time being, Christian, 50, has…

It was an Easter like no other as a slimmeddown few in the Royal family joined King Charles for the Sunday Service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on March 31. Appearing in good spirits, Charles surprised the crowds by shaking hands and chatting with wellwishers despite concerns over his immune system as he undergoes cancer treatment. One man urged the King to get well soon during the impromptu walkabout. “I’m doing my best,” Charles quipped in response. The King was supported by his wife Queen Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Sarah, the Duchess of York. The Prince and Princess of Wales spent the day privately at their country home in Norfolk with their children as Kate undergoes treatment for her cancer.…

Forget her years as a member of the world’s biggest girl band, or even her days as Queen of the WAGs. Right now, Victoria Beckham is in her prime. As she prepares to celebrate her 50th birthday on April 17, our favourite Spice Girl and fashion chameleon is also living her best life. “I feel, professionally and personally, really accomplished,” the mother-of-four told The Sunday Times in 2023, admitting that she’s not only comfortable in her skin, she’s also ecstatic to be on the other side of her forties. “I wouldn’t want to be 25 again. I was the kind of young woman who would look in the mirror and see what needed to be improved upon,” she admitted. “I’ve always been quite tough on myself, but because of that…

Judging by her on-screen exploits, it’s easy to assume that Julianne Moore is addicted to drama. During her four-decade-long career, the actress has played everything from the leader of a rebellion against the Capitol in The Hunger Games film series to a rockstar who is also a neglectful mother in What Maisie Knew. But she insists it couldn’t be further away from who she is in real life. “Chaos,” is how the 63-yearold star describes the roles that she picks in an interview with the British newspaper The Telegraph. “But that’s the Flaubert quote, isn’t it? ‘Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.’” For years, Moore has been incredibly selective in the acting work that she takes on, limiting…

The wellness benefits of belting out a tune is music to our ears! Asa rebel growing up in a strict household, Mariah Carey has early memories of being banned from singing at the dinner table. “I loved singing; I was singing since I started talking. I can’t help it,” she revealed. “I went into the living room and I got up on the coffee table and continued singing at the top of my lungs. I guess that was an early indication of who I was going to be.” While we might not all have the same skills as Carey, most of us enjoyed singing as kids. Eventually, many of us stop – but it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, Gerald Marko, a voice coach and lecturer at…

As their time on TV comes to a close, Married at First Sight stars Jonathan McCullough and Ellie Dix have something important they finally want to get off their chest. “Yes, we’re in love,” McCullough, 39, confirms to WHO during a chat with the couple. “We feel really lucky to have found each other.” With Dix originally matched with ‘husband’ Ben Walters, while McCullough ‘wed’ Lauren Dunn, the couple insist romance only blossomed between them “after we left the experiment”. But when Cupid did strike, they fell hard and fast. The pair have been living together on the Gold Coast since mid-December. “I came to visit Jono for a few days and just never left,” Dix, 32, confesses with a laugh. Having to keep their love under wraps has been…

Shannen Doherty has revealed heartbreaking details on how she is preparing for death. The Beverly Hills, 90210 star, who has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, revealed on an episode of her Let’s Be Clear podcast that she has begun cleaning out her storage units and homes to make for an “easier transition” for her mum when she dies. “My priority at the moment is my mum,” she said. “I know it’s going to be hard on her if I pass away before her. Because it’s going to be so hard on her, I want other things to be a lot easier. I don’t want her to have a bunch of stuff to deal with. I don’t want her to have four storage units filled with furniture.” The 52-year-old,…

Following an avalanche of serious allegations aimed at Sean “Diddy” Combs, 54, in recent months, law enforcement officers raided his Miami and Los Angeles homes on March 25. The shocking searches, described by the rapper’s attorney as “nothing more than a witchhunt based on meritless accusations”, come amid sex trafficking accusations against the star, who has faced five separate civil lawsuits since November 2023, accusing him of a range of sexual misconduct and other illegal activity. Less than three weeks after singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura settled out of court after accusing her ex of rape, sex trafficking and domestic violence, at least two more women came forward and filed suits of their own. “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” Combs issued in a statement on December 6. “Let me be absolutely clear: I did…

Alarm bells went off when Eva Mendes was MIA during Ryan Gosling ’s big night at last month’s Oscars. Fans were confused and worried that something was up between the Hitch star and her husband. It’s not the first time Mendes, 50, has missed her man receiving recognition for his work on the big screen. Yet, that’s just how the super-private celebrity couple like it. To Mendes, the actor, 43, does his best work at home, when he’s with her and their daughters Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7. It’s also where Mendes thrives. On the US Today show, she said leaving her life as an actress behind to focus on being amum was a “no brainer”. “I’m so lucky,” she insisted. “If I can have this time with my children…

PERFECT MATCH She grew up on a farm and married a farmer herself, so Armytage says co-hosting Farmer Wants a Wife is a dream gig. “I know how to talk with the farmers and understand what they need,” she explains. Sitting on a hay bale while wearing a gorgeous cream gown by Carla Zampatti as she joins WHO at a Sydney studio for an exclusive photoshoot, Samantha Armytage flashes her smile at the camera. Leaning slightly back to change her pose, the veteran Australian journalist loses her balance, breaking into a fit of giggles. “Getting all done up like this used to be a daily occurrence,” the 47-year-old former Sunrise host tells WHO. “But now you’re much more likely to find me wearing jeans out in the garden with…

Screenwriter and director Roger Kumble wrote the script for the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions in just 12 days while on a trip to Mexico, after mulling over the idea for a little over a year. “It was one of those moments when you’re just walking across the street,” he told Cosmopolitan in 2014. “The idea popped into my head to do Dangerous Liaisons set in high school.” The seductive teen dramedy about spoilt Manhattan rich kids, starring Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon, was a hit, grossing $113 million worldwide on a $15.8 million budget. It has become a cult classic that still resonates 25 years on, with a killer soundtrack, memorable moments, and a reboot TV series in the works for Amazon Prime. “It was daring and…

Women who INSPIRE Alli Parker first got the idea for her debut novel, At the Foot of the Cherry Tree, a fictionalised retelling of her grandparents’ extraordinary love story, when she was just a child. “I was 11 and reading a book written by a journalist in the ’60s, and all the while I was just thinking, ‘No, that’s not my grandparents’ [story] and I can do this much better,’” she explains to WHO. “It was just way too saccharine.” It’s easy to see why the romance between Gordon Parker and Nobuko ‘Cherry’ Sakuramoto could become a little melodramatic in the telling. Their relationship did go on to change the course of Australian history. But there is also a lot of pain and hardship in the tale too. Cherry was…

Taking care of the stuff you already have, and reimagining it, is also taking care of yourself and your savings. And one way to lessen the “need” for new stuff is to start really taking care of the things you already have. Because often the most sustainable T-shirt, shoes, bike, dress, computer, or whatever, is the one you already have. Even if it needs a touch-up, or a new screen or a few stitches. So, let’s make fixing stuff awesome again. This habit has some side benefits too. You will save money by not buying as much, you’ll get more creative as you figure out how to fix the things you already have, and as you reconsider your relationship to your things, you’ll feel less ‘need’ to purchase more. THINGS…

AIMEE, FASHION EDITOR 1. BERMUDA SHORTS Not shorts and not quite culottes, the extra-long short is my staple right now. Whether I pair them with a tank and slides for warmerr autumn days, or a sweater and boots for when winter hits – they’re my new fave. The key to nailing this look is to invest in a quality fabric like a linen blend with tailored detailing at the waist. 2. CHIC SLINGBACKS With pointed toes set to stick around for the rest of the year, I’m upgrading my tired court shoes for something a little more “now”. In keeping with my goal for more forever pieces, I’ll be looking for satin or leather, a comfortable mid heel, and a classic slingback to make them more transeasonal. SUSTAINABLE 3. SLOUCHY…

NEW BIOPIC MOVIE A COMPLETE UNKNOWN Filming has begun on the streets of New York for the highly anticipated biopic about the iconic Bob Dylan, with star Timothée Chalamet well and truly in the driver’s seat. The one-time Willy Wonka definitely has the look and has also been brushing up on his guitarplaying skills. And he’s tapped into the team that helped Austin Butler slip in to Elvis’ blue suede shoes. With Chalamet said to be doing the vocals in the flick, which is set in the early ’60s, nailing Dylan’s distinctive sound will be a challenge – one we’re sure he’s up to. MORE INSIDE!

Ra Chapman has created a brilliant comedy about a woman named Jane, who, just like Chapman, was adopted by white Australians as a 4-year-old from Korea. The difference? Jane has a fetish for white men. When her friends call her out, Jane makes it her mission to reprogram her white-washed libido. Here, WHO chats to Chapman about her show White Fever, and how her own life experiences show up in the plot. White Fever is fantastic. Can you give readers a bit of a rundown of the show? There are three timelines. There’s current day; there’s Jane at 4 years old when she moves to Australia from Korea; and then we’ve got Jane at 14 years old. There are a few flashbacks! Jane is so gung-ho, which is what we…

With roles in Deadloch, The Messenger and Gold Diggers, Kartanya Maynard certainly had a massive 2023. And this year is shaping up to be just as big for the Aussie star. The proud Truwulway and Nunga actress will be sauntering back into school as she takes on the role of Zoe in the second season of Netflix hit Heartbreak High. She admits that joining the already established cast during their second time together had her feeling like the new girl at first. “There were definitely some nerves,” Maynard tells WHO.“But that quickly disappeared because everyone was so nice and I was welcomed with open arms.” As for Zoe, Maynard admits that while she’s never played a character like her before, she finished with a real soft spot for the opinionated…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? The other week when I caught up with the guys from The Living Room. We were in fits of laughter, reminiscing about our time on the show. What was the last book you read? I only read cookbooks. The last book I read was On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee. It’s like a bible of cooking. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? Some little muffins that my daughter Claudia baked. She had hidden a little Easter egg in each. They were delicious. I ate three! (They were little though, so it’s OK!) The last time you lost your cool? I feel like I’m pretty in control of my emotions and don’t lose my cool very often. The last time…

As the old adage goes, couples that play together, stay together. So despite their busy schedules, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have carved out some time for romance during a break in the singer’s globetrotting Eras world tour. The celebrity couple, both 34, settled in at Harbour Island in the Bahamas for a loved-up vacation in late March where they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Looking sensational in a yellow bikini by Montce, Swift splashed about with her man in the warm waters of the Caribbean, stopping to give him a big smooch – all with a drink still in her hand. They also took in the beautiful views by enjoying a cruise on a yacht. “It was a much-needed break for both of them,” a source tells…

Jennifer Garner’s beloved father William has passed away at the age of 85. “We were with him, singing ‘Amazing Grace’ as he left us (did we carry him across or scare him away – valid question),” the actress, 51, shared on Instagram, adding, “While there is no tragedy in the death of an 85-year-old man who lived a healthy, wonderful life, I know grief is unavoidable, waiting around unexpected corners.” The mother-of-three wrote about her father’s “gentle demeanour and quiet strength” alongside a series of photographs featuring William and herself, as well as throwback snaps of the family patriarch with his wife of 59 years – her mum Patricia – and their three daughters. By the sounds of Garner’s post, her father was a truly wonderful man. “For how he…

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, who after seven months of dating privately tied the knot during a sunset backyard ceremony in January 2015, surprised fans again on March 22 with the news that they have welcomed their second child together. In a joint social media statement, the couple revealed their well-kept secret – the arrival of their “really cute” son, Cardinal. “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here!” they wrote. “We are feeling so blessed and grateful.” The couple are also parents to daughter Raddix, 4, whose birth they announced in a similar sneaky way. “Benji always wanted a big family,” a source told Us Weekly. “And Cameron didn’t need to be persuaded after the arrival of their daughter.” Getting married and becoming amum kicked…

‘MY MAN’ Her 2016 album Lemonade referenced infidelity, and the singer’s recent cover of‘Jolene’has put speculation about her marriage to Jay-Z (left) back into overdrive. But the new version is feistier than the original, with revamped lyrics not“begging”, but “warning”Jolene to steer clear. At the 50th annual Country Music Awards on November 2, 2016, Beyoncé – stunning in aplunging, sheer illusion gown –made an appearance on stage with the Dixie Chicks, now known as The Chicks. Backed by abig band and horn section for the six-minute jam session, the singers scored astanding ovation from the Nashville crowd for their heel-tapping rendition of Beyoncé’s twangy single, ‘Daddy Lessons’. For The Chicks, it was a hands-down highlight.“Working with her was the single greatest working week of my professional life,”singer Natalie Maines said…

Every morning, Simone Callahan writes in her journal three things for which she is grateful. Invariably, her three children feature somewhere on that list. Brooke, 26, Jackson, 24, and Summer, 22, who she shared with her late ex-husband Shane Warne, are a source of never-ending pride and joy. “I love them to bits,” she shares with WHO. “I’m so proud and I’m so blessed every day. I’m so lucky. They are great kids. We have such a deep strong relationship and we are this little team and we’ve been through this really awful time, but they are so strong and so brave.” Since Warne’s shock and sudden passing just over two years ago at the age of 52, Callahan has watched her children be enveloped by a “big hug from…

During an and otherwise quiet and uneventful morning in 1977, the peace on Melbourne’s Easey Street was shattered when housemates Susan Bartlett and Suzanne Armstrong were found stabbed to death inside their home. Tucked away in one of the bedrooms, Suzanne’s 16-monthold son Gregory lay in his cot, distressed dehydrated, but otherwise unharmed. Forty-seven years later, the brutal double murder remains unsolved. “How long do they need to wait for justice?” asks journalist Helen Thomas, who has released a podcast Easey Street Murders, which looks into the killings. The “two Sues” were childhood friends from Benalla, who shared a house in the inner city suburb of Collingwood after Suzanne moved back from Greece with her young son. “The women deserve justice” On January 13, 1977, neighbour Ilona Stevens came to…

It is said with regular practice your forehead literally begins…

With summer over and our social calendars a little less jam-packed, most of us take to the sofa with impunity. It’s also a chance to take stock of all those late nights and copious spicy margs, and their effects on our skin, hair and nails. Why not use this seasonal lull to try a few rejuvenating “slow” beauty treatments –the ones that take time, give us amoment to ourselves and, most importantly, yield results. Try a facial massage to boost circulation and glow, or leave a hair mask on for hours to fully do its thing. While your Netflix is playing, why not use that time to rub balms into dry cuticles and massage into tired feet. Try keeping a few ointments on the coffee table for easy access so…

There’s no doubt that a beautiful piece of artwork can easily and effectively transform an entire space. For any connoisseurs who are stuck on how to display their beloved pieces, Australian artist Britney Turner shares her top tips on how to style artwork throughout the home. 1. COLOUR Choice of colour can influence the entire ambience of a space, so it’s important to pay attention to shades and palettes when considering which piece to place in each room. “Each hue carries its own emotional resonance, influencing mood and perception,” explains Turner. “Warm tones like peach and coral evoke energy and vibrancy, while cool blues and greens instil calmness.” Keep it interesting and incorporate contrasting colours in different rooms of the home. Opt for soothing, cooler tones like blue and lilac…

When Leah Poulos-Patterson-Baker makes her way down the aisle for the fourth time to wed Justin Morgan (James Stewart) on Home and Away, Ada Nicodemou is hoping her beloved character might finally be able to shake off the “black widow” moniker. No doubt so is James Stewart! For Nicodemou, though, Leah’s unlucky love life during her 24 years in Summer Bay, has led to a “pretty good perk of the job”. “I’ve always loved to get really dressed up and feel like a princess,” the 46-year-old star tells WHO. “So why wouldn’t I love to get married on screen? It’s all the fun without having any of the stress of actually organising a wedding,” she laughs. A fashion-lover herself, Nicodemou was hands-on when it came to choosing what Leah would…
