Hilary Duff is a mother of four! The Younger star and her husband, Matthew Koma, welcomed another daughter on May 3, who they named Townes Meadow Bair. Duff, 36, made the announcement on Instagram, along with a series of images from the water birth. “Townes Meadow Bair, now we know why she made us wait so long,” she wrote alongside the snaps, suggesting that little Townes arrived after her due date. “She was perfecting those cheeks.” The Lizzie McGuire star continued, “I have been dreaming of holding you in my arms for months and the past five days of getting to know you, stare at you and smell you has been pure moments of magic,” she wrote. “We all love you like you’ve been here all along beauty.” Duff and…

Bearing a striking resemblance to her late mother, glamour model Anna Nicole Smith, 17-year-old Dannielynn Birkhead wowed in a red gown at this year’s Kentucky Derby. The teen, who just graduated high school, attends the Derby and the Barnstable Brown Gala every year with her father Larry Birkhead, 51. It’s poignant because it’s the same event where Larry met Dannielynn’s mother in 2003. “I think the one year the babysitter cancelled. And then it became I brought her when she was able to kind of walk and do her own thing down the carpet, and then it became a tradition,” Larry told E! News. “I brought her back here for a reason because it was something that was special. And it’s become a tradition for us out of me meeting…

FRIENDS, NOT RIVALS In her Vogue Arabia interview Hayek admitted that they have auditioned for the same roles in the past, but they don’t get competitive. “We said, OK, we want to get this movie, but if I’m not going to get it, I hope you do,“ she said. When Penélope Cruz first landed in Los Angeles at the start of her career, she was collected from the airport by Salma Hayek, even though the pair had never met. Hayek told Cruz she was taking her back to her house because “this is hard at the beginning and you’re going to feel very lonely”. “I ended up also sleeping in her room because I was scared,” Cruz explained during a 2022 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “And you know,…

We know three things about Brad Pitt to be true. He has a thing for leggy brunettes, he adores his coffee, and he loves long walks on the beach – and all three were captured this month when the 60-year-old and his gorgeous girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, took a stroll along the seaside in Santa Barbara. The couple, who’ve been together since 2022, looked worlds away from red carpets and movie sets as they walked side-by-side with their dogs in tow, managing to sneak in some cuddles along the way too. It’s been a huge start to 2024 for the super-private couple. Not only did de Ramon move into Pitt’s home, but the jewellery executive also finalised her divorce from Paul Wesley in March. She and the Vampire Diaries star…

Khloé Kardashian has revealed that she had Tristan Thompson take multiple paternity tests after fearing she may have accidentally had a baby with her brother. “I made Tristan do three DNA tests…” she told the She MD podcast. ”He was so offended.” The exes welcomed their second child, son Tatum, via surrogate in July 2022. The unusual requests came after Khloé, 39, thought the infant bore more of a resemblance to his uncle, Rob Kardashian, 37, than his mum or dad. “I was like, ‘Rob, have you ever donated sperm somewhere?’” she confessed. “In this family, it would not surprise me, but that would be so disgusting.” Thankfully, the tests all proved that the former NBA star, 33, was indeed the dad!…

“The gratitude that I feel in my heart is overwhelming,” Bindi Irwin, 25, told Access Hollywood about being on the other side of her endometriosis surgery while at the 12th Annual Blossom Ball in New York. She underwent the surgery in 2023 after a 10-year struggle with the disease. The conservationist was honoured with the 2024 Endometriosis Foundation of America’s Blossom Award at the event after sharing her story. Her brother, Robert Irwin, 20, and mother Terri Irwin, 59, also attended the occasion to support her. “This disease takes away so much and can feel impossible to overcome. My heart breaks for the countless people who haven’t been able to receive the medical help they need. That is why nights like this are vitally important,” she wrote on Instagram while…

PAYING HERWAY All Dion’s life her mother mended her clothes. “I had 13 brothers and sisters, and I got everyone’s hand-me-downs.” Now, she told Vogue France, “People pay to come and hear me sing, so I pay to buy myself clothes by designers.” For decades, Celine Dion has been known for her powerful voice. And although her singing career is on pause, she is now using her voice to connect with millions in a different way – by opening up about her health struggle and raising awareness for stiff person syndrome (SPS), the incurable neurological condition she suffers that has caused her to step away from the stage. Dion announced her diagnosis with the autoimmune disorder that causes muscle stiffness and spasms in 2022. And in a recent interview with…

With a self-titled Target Petites fashion line and gig hosting the dating show I Kissed a Girl, Dannii Minogue is as busy as ever.

20TH ANNIVERSARY Dazzling in emeralds as she because I am a man in the hou stood side-by-side with husband Frederik for their first official gala portrait since becoming King and Queen of Denmark, Mary flashed a confident smile that gave no hint she’d been feeling a little overwhelmed “at times” since taking on her newly elevated role. Despite the scrutiny placed on their marriage following Frederik’s night out in Spain with socialite Genoveva Casanova last November, the pair made it clear they continue to be a united front. “We have not set a fixed route, but a good direction,” she added. “We are going to continue the tracks we have laid.” As they prepare to mark their 20th wedding anniversary on May 14, Danish royal biographer Trine Villemann tells WHO…

A decade after she tried to stab a schoolmate to death in a crime that shocked the world, Morgan Geyser found herself back in court as she asked to be let out of the psychiatric institution to which she’d been committed. Having initially claimed she’d carried out the brutal attack when she was just 12 years old to appease a fictional online horror character called Slender Man, Geyser now says she made up her mental health issues. But the admission didn’t turn out to be the “get-out-of-jail-free card” the 21-yearold had hoped, with the judge denying the request after ruling that there was still a significant risk to herself and the community if Geyser was released. “Her credibility is at issue. She’s changed her position,” Judge Michael Bohren said. “Until…

Oh, I wish I had her figure, I wish I had their job, I wish my relationship was as romantic as theirs. We’re all guilty of comparing ourselves to others in some way, shape or form, and we know the destructive feelings that can come with it. You practically create for yourself unmet expectations on the spot. But it’s time to put a stop to these negative comparisons for the betterment of our mental health. So, how can we learn to be more appreciative of what we do have? THE SELF-LOVE JOURNEY Complete confidence and self-acceptance doesn’t come overnight – plus, we totally get that it’s unrealistic to think you’ll never have any self-conscious moments. Yet, what we can do is notice those moments where we’re perhaps tearing ourselves down…

Fundamental to any beauty look, mascara can alter the appearance of eyes, simply by darkening, lengthening, volumising and sculpting your lashes.

If you are having trouble finding the right mascara, famed makeup artist Claudia Soare (aka Norvina) recommends “working with your individual lashes and eye shape”. Claudia’s latest venture, formulating under her mother’s eponymous brand Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH), has seen the creation of her personal holy-grail mascara (and ABH’s second mascara ever): Lash Sculpt.

Let’s try this first question in the format of a Jeopardy! clue [contestants are given an answer and have to come up with the right question]. If the answer is“Who is Stephen Fry?”, what would the clue on the board be? A large looming figure who simply will not go away. And we are all grateful for that! Jeopardy! has been around for over 60 years. Does that make you nervous stepping into this role or give you comfort that it almost runs itself? It’s like getting onto a 1960s J-class yacht that was used in the America’s Cup. It’s a fine old vessel and it’s in beautiful shape, but you want to steer it carefully and let it do its thing and not try to make it behave…

Before she was an internationally bestselling author, Victoria Purman was a journalist who worked at ABC Radio as a cadet. In her latest novel, those two worlds combine. The Radio Hour tells the story of Martha. It's 1956 and the 50-year-old spinster is working at the country’s national broadcaster as a secretary when she finds herself secretly ghostwriting scripts to save a long-running soap. "I chose 1956 as the backdrop for The Radio Hour because it was the year television was introduced to Australia and the year radio began to lose its influence," Purman tells WHO. "When people turned to television, they turned away from their radios and the golden days of radio drama were over." The story was inspired by the real-life Gwen Meredith, who created the Blue Hills…

What was the last book you read? Dummies for Dummies. I needed to understand what a dummy was before I started the rest of the series. What’s the last thing you learnt about yourself? I use humour to evade questions about literature. When was the last time you danced in public? At weddings, I take the “witness” aside before the ceremony and Floss in front of them. Later at the reception, they’re obligated to inform everyone that the “first dance” is actually the second dance. When was the last time you lost your cool? I have a large reflective surface in my garage, and when I make mistakes while driving, I go home and beep at myself in the mirror. Last thing people would guess about you? My opinion on…

He hasn’t been seen in public with his daughter Suri since 2012, but Tom Cruise, 61, proved he maintains a good relationship with the children he adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman when he was spotted in a rare photo with the pair. The Hollywood legend was seen beaming with both Isabella ‘Bella’, 31, and Connor, 29, in a picture taken in December 2023. The snap, posted by former NFL player Derrick Brooks, recently resurfaced online and offered a rare glimpse into the star’s private life. “Good Evening, Wow, look who stopped by my office before our @tblightning game tonight! @tomcruise.

DATE NIGHT Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky enjoyed the spectacular event together, glowing in Tom Ford ensembles and Bulgari and Chopard accessories. Despite being a Met first-timer, Hemsworth was one of the co-chairs for the event. DOUBLE TAKE Co-chair Zendaya did not disappoint, serving two dramatic looks on the red carpet –one look an archival 1996 Givenchy gown (left) and the other a Maison Margiela dress (right).

Regardless of your reasons for trying to lose weight, it can feel frustrating when having a healthy diet and being active doesn’t have the desired effect. However, understanding your hormones can sometimes fill the missing piece of the puzzle. “If your body is changing and you are not quite sure why, it might be time to see what is going on with your hormones,” dietitian Susie Burrell explains. “In fact, as we get older and move into our forties and fifties, our hormones play a far bigger role in our weight control than we may realise.” Burrell explains that oestrogen is only one part of the picture, and that “there are more than 200 different hormones in the body and they can influence everything from mood, sex drive and fertility,…

To try the trend, you’ll want to get your hands on a moisturising mask that you can either apply and rinse out beforehand to make your hair extra smooth or slather onto strands before slicking into a bun so that the formula can work its magic all day (or night) long. UNDONE BOB Bobs have been all the rage this year, and the most popular way to style one is to make it look perfectly undone.
