I hate horror movies. I mean, I hate them so much that since the age of 16 (when I was subjected to Chucky during a sleepover at a friend’s house) I have avoided them almost entirely. So when The Blair Witch Project came out in 1999 when I was (ahem… at university) I was nervous about going to the cinema to watch it. And I should have been. I spent the following one hour and 18 minutes hiding behind my hands. On the way home, I doubt I was the only audience member to feel that they were being followed. The film was a huge box office success, but there is a haunting truth to the success of the movie too. Turn to page 30 to discover what its stars…

Justin Timberlake has opened up about his arrest for the first time while performing at a concert on June 21. Speaking to the crowd, he thanked them for their support, “We’ve been together through ups and downs, lefts and rights,” before addressing the highly publicised scandal. “It’s been a tough week, but you’re here and I’m here, and nothing can change this moment right now. I know sometimes I’m hard to love – but you keep on loving me, and I love you right back,” he added. The star, who reportedly refused a breath test, was apparently not recognised by the police officer who pulled him over in the Hamptons on July 18. Acriminal complaint obtained by Page Six explained Timberlake, “had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he…

Before Billy Ray Cyrus and Sydney-born singer Firerose called time on their seven-month marriage on May 23, the pair started their relationship as collaborators, releasing the song ‘New Day’ in July 2021. “It is a song of hope for a new day,” Firerose told Main Street Nashville in August 2021. “I hope that the song that we wrote together can bring a glimmer of joy to peoples’ days, even if it is not completely yet a new day for everyone.” Now, Cyrus, who cited irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct in his divorce filing and is seeking annulment on the grounds of fraud, is gunning for a new dawn as a single man. “He is more relieved every day that he’s done with his marriage,” a source close to the…

Life might have been very different for Alicia Vikander if, in her early twenties, she hadn’t decided to “give it two years, see what happens” with her acting career. For one thing, she wouldn’t have met husband Michael Fassbender. With a few roles in Swedish TV series and one film under her belt by 2010, Vikander put her law school plans on hold to concentrate on acting. One part was followed by another and another as work in her home country led to international films, including 2016 romantic drama The Light Between Oceans, in which she played one half of a married couple alongside Fassbender. The pair would go on to wed in real life in 2017 and welcome a son in 2021. But they had already crossed paths before…

Just as syncing workout types with the phases of our menstrual cycle has gained popularity, did you know modifying your diet for each cycle stage has some perks? “What we eat can directly impact our hormones, influencing everything from the regularity of our cycles to the symptoms we might face throughout the month,” explains Jessica Sepel, wellness expert and founder of JSHealth Vitamins. “By nourishing our bodies with cycle-supportive foods that are wholesome and rich in nutrients, we can support our hormonal balance, which can lead to more predictable and less symptomatic periods.” But where do we start when it comes to syncing our cycle with our diet? Here, Sepel shares what exactly we should be eating (and avoiding) during every stage. PHASE 1: MENSTRUATION Cue the track pants! During…

As the colder months set in, our skincare and makeup routines need to adapt to the changing weather – and winter can be particularly harsh, leaving our skin dry and dull. Celebrity makeup artist Holly Harnwell, who has worked her magic on the likes of Aussie models Steph Claire Smith and Brooke Hogan, shares her expertise on selecting the best foundation to keep your skin looking its freshest.

WHAT YOUR STARS SAY THIS WEEK ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 If you’re feeling unsettled or restless, turn towards home.

Almost 30 years ago, Candace Bushnell published her first ‘Sex and the City’ column and the semi-autobiographical character of Carrie Bradshaw was born. Through books, TV series and movies, Bradshaw became one of the biggest pop culture phenomenons of our time. Now her creator is set to share some of her secrets and how Bradshaw came to be, bringing her one-woman show to Australia later this year. And while she’s not looking for a Mr Big, the single, 65-year-old tells WHO during a chat over Zoom that she’s not averse to finding a Mr Bloke while she’s here. “An Australian man might catch my eye, you never know,” she says with a smile. Let’s talk about the show! Why did you want to do a one-woman show and go from…

who’s news Although she has previously said she’s “not a big vacation person”, Jennifer Lopez has been enjoying a relaxing holiday in the south of Italy and Paris. Lopez, 54, who recently cancelled her US tour, was said to be taking time “to be with her children, family and close friends”. But amid the bikini-clad boat selfies, catch-ups with friends and fashion shows, one thing was missing: husband Ben Affleck. Instead, the 51-year-old actor-director has remained in Los Angeles where he is shooting The Accountant 2. Rumours about marital strife continue to swirl around the couple, with Affleck spotted without his wedding ring in his wife’s absence on at least one occasion. He also made headlines when he angrily reprimanded paparazzi outside the Beverly Hills mansion he shares with Lopez,…

While fans were getting ready for Nelly and Ashanti to welcome their first child and finally tie the knot, turns out this noughties power couple are already hitched! According to public records, TMZ reported that they wed in secret on December 27, 2023, likely in St. Louis County, which is Nelly’s hometown. The pair may have legally made it official, but they still want a big celebration. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in a video released in June, Ashanti hinted at what she’d like when that day comes. “I think it’s going to be a combination of fashion glam Caribbean vibes, like I have to have a beach, an ocean, and sunshine and palm trees,” she said. As for when, the singer said she has a month in mind but doesn’t…

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are the picture-perfect couple. Their affection for one another on red carpets knows no bounds, and they’re just two years shy of celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. But as fans of the Australian duo know, things haven’t always been great between them. It’s been widely reported that Urban entered rehab shortly after their 2006 wedding, but he chose the evening his wife was bestowed the AFI Life Achievement Award to truly pay tribute to the woman he believes saved his life. “We got married in June 2006, and barely four months into our marriage, my addictions that I had done really nothing about blew our marriage to smithereens,” he told the crowd, while a stoic Kidman watched on from the audience, which included the likes…

In August 1988, Naomi Campbell became the first black model on the cover of French Vogue. She had already covered British and Italian Vogue by then and was soon to grace the glossy front of American Vogue, an opportunity for which she thanks Anna Wintour. “I think she was given a lot of flak for it. I will be forever grateful,” she shared in the Guardian in 2016. But her moment in the French publication was a big deal. “I was glad I only found out afterwards that I was making history. Otherwise, I would have felt far too much pressure,” she explained. Campbell continues to rank as one of the most iconic supermodels of all time, but her career wasn’t plain sailing. She told the Guardian, “From attending auditions…

‘I AM HEARTBROKEN’ Sutherland enjoyed a professional and personal relationship with actress Jane Fonda, 86, who posted, “Donald was a brilliant actor and a complex man who shared quite a few adventures with me … I am heartbroken.” Whether he was playing a treacherous villain or providing comic relief, tapping into the depths of emotional anguish or making mischief with a twinkle in his eye, Donald Sutherland delivered a topnotch performance in every role he undertook. That screen legacy – from his standout role in the original film of M*A*S*H to his more recent turn in The Hunger Games series – has been celebrated in the wake of the Canadian actor’s death in hospital at age of 88 following “a long illness”, according to his talent agency, CAA. “Donald Sutherland…

EX APPEAL “Good for them,” Jodie Turner-Smith told The Cut when asked of her ex-husband’s relationship with Nyong’o, adding, “We need happiness in order to peacefully co-parent … I’m trying to get us to the Gwyneth and Chris Martin level.” It’s been a decade since Lupita Nyong’o nabbed the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her very first feature film, 12 Years a Slave. She had just graduated from the Yale School of Drama, and she remains grateful that the early win has seen her find consistent work since. “I’m just glad to be still working and that I still love what I do and that every opportunity is exciting for me and hopefully for audiences,” she tells WHO. The instant fashion darling has since starred in major franchises, including…

When author Nancy Brophy published a blog post titled: ‘How to Murder Your Husband’, you have to wonder what she was thinking … or perhaps plotting. Seven years later, on June 2, 2018, her husband of more than 25 years, Daniel Brophy, was shot dead at the Oregon Culinary Institute where he was an instructor. “As a romantic suspense writer, I spend a lot of time thinking about murder and, consequently, police procedure,” she wrote. “After all, if the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don’t want to spend time in jail. And let me say clearly for the record: I don’t like jumpsuits and orange is not my colour,” she added before listing motives for murdering your husband, and weapons of choice. “I find it is…

Most people find their energy bills go up in winter, which is the last thing any of us needs as the cost of electricity continues to soar. Thankfully, there are also plenty of affordable ways to keep your home cosy! GRAB AN ELECTRIC THROW Turn off that energy-wasting heater (or at least turn it down) and plug in a toasty, warm electric throw.

On average, electric blankets and throws cost about four cents an hour to run, compared to some space heaters, which can cost around 15 cents an hour. COVER UP Take a look at your living space…

No, it’s not 2006 again, Paris Hilton is just still as hot as ever. The mother-of-two, socialite, reality star and now, once again, popstar has truly earned the title of icon, remaining relevant two decades after her party girl phase.

CLETE by James Lee Burke Clete Purcel is a war veteran with a hard shell. He’s also a private investigator and a former member of the New Orleans Police Department, which means he’s perfect to expose Clara Bow’s scheming, slippery ex-husband. But does Clara have ulterior motives? DOWN THE TRACK by Stella Quinn Taking a job on a remote sheep station in Queensland couldn’t have come at a better time for single mum, Dr Joanne Tan. It’s not the first time she’s been to Yindi Creek, though, and she’s convinced that pilot she had a fling with 15 years ago won’t remember her.

INNER CIRCLE Carpenter joined Swift on stage in Sydney after her set was cancelled due to the weather. She told Instagram her younger self would ”never see this s--t coming”. Keoghan made sure to see her sing at a Singapore show. If you were lucky enough to see Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour when it stopped in Australia, then you may have caught her opening act – blonde-banged, pocket-sized, Sabrina Carpenter, just before she hit the big time. Despite her recent career trajectory, the 25-year-old isn’t an overnight success. Speaking to Cosomopolitan in March, she shared her thoughts on the slow rise to fame, “I think if you really look at how long I’ve been singing and acting, it’s a long time compared to the instant gratification that some people have.…

There’s an old belief that some people are just born fortunate. These types are often easy to spot because they seem to be in such a perpetually happy and upbeat mood. Some might say that’s only to be expected when everything goes your way. But what if we’re thinking about things the wrong way around and luck is something that we can create for ourselves? Many of us first delved into the world of manifestation during the pandemic when we were seeking answers. Since then this trend has continued to boom, and if the 15 billion Instagram posts on it are anything to go by, our interest is growing. Zoe Marshall, “manifestation master” and host of The Deep podcast, says this practice can work for “anyone and everyone”. The one…

Fans of Danielle Steel should be pretty happy – with the prolific writer having several books come out each year, it’s never too long a wait to dive into her next novel. Her latest offering, Resurrection, is about blogger and influencer Darcy Gray, who flees to Paris to heal her broken heart and gets stuck when a global pandemic shuts down borders. With such legendary output, it is easy to assume that Steel must use cutting-edge technology to stay ahead of the game, but she continues to write on an old typewriter. “I’m used to the feel of them,”she told People.“They’re big, heavy, clunky, solid. And obviously, I’ve made typing mistakes, but I can’t make any horrible mistakes. I can just see myself doing a year of work [on a…
