Millie Bobby Brown secretly tied the knot with Jake Bongiovi in May, before exchanging vows for the second time at Villa Cetinale in Italy. On October 2, the newlyweds couldn’t contain their excitement any longer, sharing moments from their ceremony, which was officiated by her Stranger Things co-star Matthew Modine. The couple’s photos revealed that the bride wore four different dresses, including a custom lace Galia Lahav gown and Monvieve veil in which she walked down the aisle, as well as a backless halter-style gown by Oscar de la Renta to cut a giant single-tier fruit-topped millefoglie wedding cake made on site by caterer Galateo Ricevimenti. “Forever and always, your wife,” Brown, 20, captioned her carousel of images. Bongiovi, 22, shared a snap of the couple with his dad, rocker…

Rebekah Vardy is challenging the legal costs that she has been ordered to pay to fellow WAG Coleen Rooney following their 2022 libel trial. The wife of former England football captain Wayne Rooney took the internet by storm in 2019 when she revealed she had launched a sting operation on her private Instagram account, posting false stories that were only visible to Rebekah in order to find out if she was responsible for leaking her private information to The Sun. Her research concluded with a claim that the wife of Leicester captain Jamie Vardy was indeed the culprit. Rebekah denied the claims and took Coleen to court. However, the result of the nine-day 2022 hearing fell in Coleen’s favour when the judge ruled that her findings were “substantially true”. In…

It’s a weird feeling when people are like, ‘Oh, you’re successful,’ or say, ‘You’ve made it,’” Sydney Sweeney told Glamour magazine, who have named her one of their Women of the Year 2024. “It doesn’t feel like that because there’s so much more I want to accomplish and achieve. I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of what I’d like to do in my life.” If this is Sweeney just getting started, then hold on for what’s to come. The 27-year-old actress, whose first screen credits were in 2009, has formed quite the résumé in recent years. In 2023, her film Anyone But You, which she starred in and executive produced, became an unofficial advertisement for Sydney, Australia with its cinematic showcase of coastal and city icons peppered in…

Often heralded as one of the most stylish women on the planet, Queen Mary of Denmark had no trouble swapping ball gowns and a tiara for cargo pants and a pair of hiking boots as she trekked into the Amazon on day one of her state visit to Brazil. Kicking off the four-day trip on October 2, Her Majesty took a boat ride deep into the world’s largest rainforest before enjoying the breathtaking views from the deck of an observation platform. “It’s kind of Mary’s victory lap” The next day, the 52-year-old continued to charm – and be charmed by – the locals as she had a close encounter with a rescued baby manatee. The Queen gently stroked the calf as she fed it a bottle of milk while visiting…

I went on reality TV because it was an opportunity. We didn’t come from any money, we were a very poor family,” Crosby tells WHO about signing up for Geordie Shore in 2011. “I just liked to be wild and free.” Thirteen years on, she is reconnecting with her party girl roots – this time, from a distance. An original cast member of the Newcastle-based reality show, which followed US version Jersey Shore, Crosby is now bringing the franchise Down Under, acting as House Boss on the most recent iteration, Aussie Shore. Crosby serves as a “referee and godmother” for a house full of hot, young Aussie singletons. She gets the gossip, gives advice and then skips out before the partying begins again. “This is so much wilder [than Geordie…

When SJP stepped onto the set of And Just Like That… with JW Anderson’s pigeon purse, she caused the avian-inspired clutch to sell out. The trending object bags are often associated with TV character wardrobes and red-carpet outfits thanks to their quirky shapes and themes. But the array of novelty styles available today are surprisingly wearable. Think stylish shell shapes for a wedding, marble and metallics for a night out, and flower appliqué and beading for any alfresco occasion. This trend is all about adding a statement bag for fun, rather than functionality. Sustainably made in Melbourne SPLURGE! COMPILED BY: HOLLY HAMPTON-THAYERS…

A gin and tonic – how hard could it be? It might seem like the simplest of cocktails to make but the difference between a good one and a great one is everything. WHO spoke with George Bekarian, head mixologist at Cardea in Sydney’s Barangaroo and spirit specialist for the Garden Street Gin Club – a curated gin subscription club; see gardenstreet.com.au – for his expert tips on making the best G&T. 1. THE ORDER OF INGREDIENTS Always start by adding plenty of ice first. This ensures the drink stays cold longer without diluting it. Next, pour in the gin, allowing it to chill before slowly adding tonic. Pouring tonic first reduces the gin’s flavour impact, and leads to less carbonation and a flatter-tasting drink. 2. GET THE RATIO RIGHT…

TV FISK S3 The return of this hilarious sitcom is a reminder that not all heroes wear capes. Some wear brown suits. Law firm Gruber & Associates is now Gruber & Fisk with Helen Tudor-Fisk (Kitty Flanagan) having been made a partner. Now she’s responsible for drumming up business, and with her unique charm and no-nonsense perspective, that comes with its challenges. The writing is superb as is the cast, which also includes Julia Zemiro, Marty Sheargold, Aaron Chen, plus a host of guest stars. Must watch! (Premieres Sun., Oct. 20 at 8pm on ABC) NEW SEASON…

Before we get to your role in Human Error, tell us about life in Sardinia! What prompted the move? My wife [Alex Ortuso] is Italian Australian, so she has a passport and so do the kids. She’s a school teacher and we wanted a change, an adventure. And how are the kids enjoying it? They are having a ball. There’s a great expat community that we’ve slipped into, that we all hang out with, and plenty of Italian friends, too. Acting comes and goes. I’m still auditioning – I returned to Australia recently for a different show. But my main source of income is my voice work, and ever since COVID, we all had to set up home studios. I figured I’ve been doing most of my work from my…

AN EYE FOR AN EYE by Jeffrey Archer A billion-dollar deal is about to go wrong, leading to a lavish night out that ends in murder and plunges the British government into crisis. Scotland Yard’s William Warwick takes on his toughest case looking for the killer of Lord Hartley. Another gripping thriller from a master of suspense. IDENTITY UNKNOWN by Patricia Cornwell Summoned to an abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once loved. The doctor knows an autopsy can reveal the secrets of the dead, but she is shocked to find her old friend has deliberately left her a clue.

Happily ever after eluded her on Married at First Sight, but fan favourite Domenica Calarco has confirmed she’s in love again. The 31-year-old opened up on Instagram about how her new romance with Sydney skater Jarod Bogunovich began as a friendship and developed during some of her darkest days. “Around about six months ago life as I knew it fell apart right in front of my eyes,” Calarco captioned a sweet video of her hanging out with Bogunovich, who she calls JB, in a skatepark. “I haven’t spoken in depth just yet about the state of my mental health at that time; it was dark. JB and I were just friends; boxing and coffee buddies. But this man right here, came and visited me in hospital every week, brought me…

On October 4, Christopher Ciccone, artist, dancer, designer and younger brother of Madonna, died aged 63 following a battle with cancer. “He was the closest human to me for so long. It’s hard to explain our bond,” Madonna, 66, posted in an Instagram tribute. “We took each other’s hands and we danced through the madness of our childhood. In fact dance was a kind of superglue that held us together.” Ciccone appeared in several of his sister’s music videos, including ‘Lucky Star’, and would go on to art direct Madonna’s 1990 Blond Ambition world tour and serve as tour director for The Girlie Show tour in 1993. Their relationship soured after Ciccone released Life with My Sister Madonna, a 2008 bestselling autobiography in which he wrote about their strained dynamic…

Making a marriage work, especially in Hollywood, is not always easy, but Nicky Hilton and her husband, James Rothschild, seem to have figured it out. The couple tied the knot in 2015 and have had the fashion designer’s parents, Kathy and Richard Hilton, to look at as an “amazing template” of a long-lasting marriage. “I feel like some of the advice my mum has always given me is [to] never stop having fun, never go to bed angry and just to stop and smell the roses and enjoy every moment,” she told People. Advice aside, they have some rules of their own that they try to stick to. “My husband and I, with our work, we travel a lot, but we always try …We will not leave the children alone.…

Three years before she first slipped into a pair of red bathers on Baywatch, then aspiring actress Pamela Anderson prepared to shoot the cover for Playboy in 1989 with a big dream. “I think in my Playboy centrefold, I wrote that I wanted to be a good mother and win an Oscar!” she tells WHO. In the decades since, underestimated and written off, that goal must have felt impossible to achieve. But not anymore. In the wake of her new film, The Last Showgirl, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, the buzz is that the 57-year-old is a serious contender for a nomination for the Best Actress Oscar next year. The acclaim has been a long time coming and follows years of Anderson’s personal life being turned…

Just over a year since rumours of their romance first circulated, Leonardo DiCaprio, 49, and his Italian model girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, seem to be getting serious. The couple were spotted looking incredibly loved-up on a Roman holiday, but this wasn’t just a couple’s retreat – they were also joined by their parents! The Oscar-winning actor is known for his bachelor ways, and with most of his girlfriends in recent years aged under 25, he’s developed a reputation for having a ‘rule’ of breaking up with them once they hit the quarter-century mark. Having just turned 26, Ceretti has survived that relationship hurdle. Now, the fact that the couple are going on holidays with their in-laws is fuelling speculation that DiCaprio and Ceretti might go the distance. During their vacation, the…

Interview For actress Eva Mendes, motherhood marked a seismic shift in her life, personally, professionally and emotionally. “It just changes everything,” she tells WHO of being a mum to daughters Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8, who she shares with Ryan Gosling. “It has influenced every single decision I’ve made in my life.” A decade ago, Mendes, 50, left her acting career behind to focus on the family she created with Gosling, who she started dating in 2011 after the pair co-starred in the drama The Place Beyond the Pines. Her last role was in 2014’s Lost River, written and directed by Gosling. “I love my work when I work with him because it’s all me, through a character,” she says, noting that she is proudest when her work feels authentic.…

Once relegated firmly to the foodie camp, Melissa Leong has proved she can do it all over the past 12 months, with a range of roles that have seen her venture away from the kitchen. Granted, there was the not-quite-sodifferent move to co-hosting and judging Dessert Masters last year, but Leong has also branched out since she left MasterChef Australia earlier in 2023. Already this year, she has appeared on Play School, hosted the Ultimate Fighting Championship Fight Week for Foxtel and examined the national healthcare system in three-part SBS docuseries The Hospital: In the Deep End. TINA SMIGIELSKI “This year has been a total dream, to expand and evolve in ways that feel right for me,” the 42-year-old tells WHO. “I am so grateful for everything that was,…

Sharon Gilbert was in hospital with her son Charlie after he’d suffered another severe allergic reaction when a comment changed her life. “We’d been there hours and Charlie was hungry, so I asked a nurse if there was anything he could eat,” Sharon, 46, who is also mum to Arnold and Evelyn, tells WHO. Charlie, now 12, has life-threatening allergies to dairy, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts, and incredibly, the answer from the hospital staff was that there was nothing there safe for him to eat. “I thought this can’t be the first time a kid has landed in hospital because of allergies, and I said to Charlie, ‘I wish there was a vending machine full of allergen-free snacks.’ He was only 3, but he told me I should make…

Though setting limits on a relationship isn’t seen as the most romantic thing on the planet, it is something that’s essential for a fulfilling and balanced life. For Rena Harvey, author of The Formula of Life: Go Deeper, Rise Higher, her experience as a healer and working with clients has seen her find that the main issues people face in their relationships stem from a lack of clear boundaries and understanding. While healthy partnerships enhance our emotional wellbeing, reduce stress and provide a sense of belonging, maintaining such relationships requires setting clear limits that respect our needs and those of others. Here are Harvey’s expert tips to achieve this in a positive and practical way. 1. COMMUNICATE OPENLY & HONESTLY Communication is the foundation of any healthy relationship. It allows…

If skin cycling has changed your life, then get ready for hair cycling. Yes, you heard that right, the popular skincare technique can also be applied to your locks! With almost as many hair products out there as for your skin, it makes total sense to bring a little more order into our routines. Taking the same less-ismore approach as skin cycling, the method aims to reduce the number of products used and, most crucially, gives strands a chance to recover from the products we put on them. HOW DOES HAIR CYCLING WORK? Leading Australian hair artist and expert Natalie Anne Ayoub defines hair cycling as the “rotation of products in your hair care routine”. Essentially, this means developing a hair care routine that’s based around a selection of products…

7 days/1355km/moderate-hard (Mulligan Highway route) 7 days/1258km/hard (Bloomfield Track route) DAY 1 CAIRNS/GIMUY TO COOKTOWN 331KM MULLIGAN HWY (INLAND) 234KM BLOOMFIELD TRACK (COASTAL) There are two main routes from Cairns/ Gimuy to Cooktown, each offering an entirely different driving experience. The 331km inland route follows the sealed Mulligan Highway through Mount Molloy and usually takes four hours, while the 234km coastal route offers spectacular scenery and a chance to test your 4WD prowess on the famous Bloomfield Track – usually a six-hour journey. The Bloomfield Track is often closed during the wet season due to treacherous conditions. Passing through First Nations communities and untouched areas of ancient rainforest, the drive is considered one of the must-do 4WD journeys in the country. DAY 2 COOKTOWN TO LAURA 175KM A short…

SEAL OF APPROVAL ”Ricky Gervais has approved a female lead,” Ward announced at a Prime Video Presents: Trailblazers event, where the trailer for the Australian series debuted. “He’s very excited about a female lead – just in case anyone is angry.” She’s never held a desk job, and until recently, she’d never seen a single episode of the US version of The Office. On paper, that might make Felicity Ward seem a little unqualified to take on what will no doubt be the heavily scrutinised and critiqued role of Hannah Howard, the first female lead in the worldwide franchise based on the original UK TV series co-created by Ricky Gervais. But Ward, 44, is perfect for the top job on the Australian version of The Office. She is extremely funny,…

The Office star Jenna Fischer has revealed she has undergone treatment for breast cancer. Taking to Instagram for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the actress, 50, opened up about her late 2023 diagnosis. “Triple positive breast cancer is an aggressive form of breast cancer, but it is also highly responsive to treatment,” she wrote, adding that she underwent a lumpectomy in January 2024 to remove the tumour. After 12 weeks of chemotherapy, Fischer shared that she later underwent three weeks of radiation treatment, with her cancer now being managed with infusions and daily medication. “Take it from Pam and her Pam Pams. Michael [Scott] was right. Get ’em checked ladies, and know that should you get a breast cancer diagnosis, there is a village waiting to care for you,” she said.…

It has been confirmed that Disney is working on a third instalment of The Princess Diaries series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Leading lady Anne Hathaway, who plays Mia Thermopolis, also shared the news on social media, confirming that she will be involved. The second film left off with Mia becoming the queen of fictional country Genovia, taking over from her grandmother, who was played by Julie Andrews. There is no word yet on whether Andrews will reprise her role. The first two films in the series, which were based on the novels by Meg Cabot, were instant box office hits when they were released in 2001 and 2004.…

Kylie and Dannii Minogue’s first TV performance together was on Young Talent Time in 1986, singing a cover of ‘Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves’. Two decades on, they reunited to duet on ‘Kids,’ Kylie’s hit song with Robbie Williams, on December 16, 2006. That performance was part of Kylie’s Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour, which included a run of Australian dates to replace the local leg of the Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour that had been cancelled after her 2005 breast cancer diagnosis. “At the start of the song, we’re at the top of the stairs, and we do the daggiest dancing,” Dannii remembered of the comeback performance while appearing on Take 5 with Zan Rowe. “Then we’d do this thing at the end of the catwalk where we’d grab…

Jason Segel PLEASE LIKE ME Segel admits he’s a “little sweaty” about wanting Ford to like him. “I’m like a nagging younger brother to Harrison,” he admits, “but we’ve developed, the most beautiful friendship, and that’s something I really, really cherish.” After making people laugh – and occasionally cry – in films and TV shows for just over 25 years now, Jason Segel is finally starting to accept that “he’s good at this”. And for that, he can thank his Shrinking co-star Harrison Ford, who has been able to convince Segel what his fans have known for decades. “One of the things that I’ve learned from Harrison is like, ‘Hey, kid, you’ve earned the right to trust knowing that you’re good at this and it’s gonna be good,’” Segel tells…
