‘It was impossible to love Bernie and not love Rodin, too, so Rodin became my passion as well’ Iris ‘Bernie bought the sculpture without a second’s thought. Only when he had left the gallery did he realise he’d just spent his next two months’ rent’ Philanthropist Iris Cantor welcomes us into her stunning New York townhouse with its priceless works of art and jokes: “I became part of his collection!” She is referring to her late husband B Gerald Cantor – Bernie to his friends. The founder and chairman of investment company Cantor Fitzgerald’s passions included not only his wife but also the work of Auguste Rodin. Indeed, her renovated 19th-century home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side is jam-packed with sculptures by the French artist, some…

OSCAR PISTORIUS Loses last appeal to reduce sentence South Africa’s highest court has rejected Oscar Pistorius’s appeal to reduce his 13-year sentence for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29. “This is the end of the road,” a spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority said. “There are no other legal options available.” The former Paralympian hero, 31, was originally found guilty of culpable homicide and given a six-year sentence after shooting Reeva dead in 2013. The Supreme Court more than doubled the jail term last November after a public outcry. An attorney for the Steenkamp family said they “always had faith in the justice system”.

‘I’ve never had a proper wedding… I sort of feel like a 21-year-old’ Gwyneth Arms entwined and with the sort of glow that only comes from true contentment, Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk couldn’t look more in love as they pose for these relaxed and playful pictures. The couple, who began dating in 2014, confirmed their engagement in January, with the actress unveiling her sapphire engagement ring in a photoshoot with TV writer and producer Brad for her lifestyle magazine goop. The pair are now counting down to their big day, which is said to be imminent. Bride-to-be Gwyneth, who hails from Hollywood royalty (her late father Bruce was a director and her mother is actress Blythe Danner), flew last week to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for…

‘He’s a really strong baby. You can see already that he’s raring to be on the go’ He has been thrilling audiences around the country with his solo tour, but one fan gets a special mention from Aston Merrygold when HELLO! catches up with the star: his baby son, Grayson. The 30-year-old former JLS singer had been concerned that the lights, music and action of a live performance might prove overwhelming for a three-month-old. That was until his fiancée Sarah Richards sent him a video, taken last week, of Grayson watching his dad on stage in Birmingham. “He’s completely transfixed. He’s a really strong baby and has been holding his head up for quite a while, and on this film he’s so engaged and his eyes are so wide. I…

Models Erin O’Connor and Sam Rollinson, former Game of Thrones actress Laura Pradelska, illustrator Sabrina Percy and model Max Rogers, whose wife is former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, were among those enjoying a set from DJ/model Jack Guinness.

‘To see Prince Charles in real life makes me so happy’ Crowned with a white feather headdress in Australia’s Northern Territory and named an honorary chief in Vanuatu, the Prince of Wales had plenty to be cheerful about at the end of a hugely successful tour of the two countries. Enthusiastic crowds welcomed him at every stop during his seven-day schedule, which saw him take in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns, the Gove Peninsula and Darwin, as well as the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. And his efforts seem to have paid off, with a poll conducted for The Australian newspaper finding that support for the monarchy is at its highest since the 1999 republic referendum. Last week, after visiting Brisbane and the Gold…

‘I’m just like every single parent trying to find that perfect balance’ When it comes to family, Charlize Theron seems to have it all worked out. In her latest film she plays a mum of three, but in real life two is the perfect number. “I know families that are bigger than mine and it totally works for them,” she says. “I think you have to know what you want and for me it very much feels like this is my family and I am for sure finished,” she says of son Jackson, seven, and daughter August, two. As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge prepare to welcome a new addition, Charlize says of families with three or more children: “I don’t either admire that or judge it, or feel…

Sir Cliff Richard thought he was going to have a heart attack after the BBC’s coverage of a police raid on his home, the 77-year-old singer told the High Court in London last week. In a written statement, Sir Cliff said his health suffered “both mentally and physically”. He added: “At one point… I actually thought I was going to have a heart attack or stroke.” In the witness stand, Sir Cliff told the court: “I felt as though everything I had worked for during my life – trying to live as honestly and honourably as I could – was being torn apart. I felt forever tainted. I still do.” Sir Cliff is suing the BBC over their 2014 coverage of a raid on his house in Sunningdale, Berkshire, after…

‘There’s lots to do… And the Commonwealth is where we’ll spend most of our time’ Prince Harry He doesn’t want any wedding presents, asking instead for donations to charities he has carefully chosen with his bride Meghan Markle. But Prince Harry has been handed an early gift from his grandmother the Queen in the form of a major new leadership role in the Commonwealth. His new job – his most significant appointment since leaving the army in 2015 – will see him travel the world on behalf of his grandmother, with a focus on young people. Harry will be president of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust (QCT), a new youth charity founded to provide a platform for young “change-makers” involved in education, sport, health and the environment. Two of…

‘I guess we struck a chord with Harry — he has lost friends in the military and lost his mum when he was young’ When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle marry at Windsor Castle on 19 May, mother of three Nikki Scott will be watching on TV along with millions of others around the world. Like everyone else, the military widow is looking forward to seeing the bride and groom take their vows before making their debut as husband and wife on a tour around Windsor in a carriage. But Nikki has more reason than most to be excited about the royal wedding: her charity is among those that will benefit from the donations Harry and Meghan have asked for instead of gifts. Scotty’s Little Soldiers, which she set up…

Laura Donnelly’s childhood dream was to win an Olivier A full cast of stars turned out in force to celebrate the London stage last week at the Olivier Awards, theatre’s biggest night of the year. And while the Broadway musical Hamilton may have stolen the headlines, the real hit of the evening was the buoyant West End. A host of celebrity guests, nominees and presenters donned their glad rags and braved the rain to walk the red carpet at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Leading the way was comedienne Catherine Tate, who hosted the event. Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, dapper in a sequined tuxedo, and his theatre producer wife Sally were also there, as were singers Alexandra Burke and Beverley Knight, actresses Kara Tointon, Imogen Poots and Anne-Marie Duffy, and McFly…

‘Everyone wants a slice of royalty and the fashion houses are no exception’ They are the crème de la crème of society and part of the royal circle, so it’s no wonder Lady Amelia Windsor and Lady Kitty Spencer have been courted by kings of fashion Dolce & Gabbana. Last week, the two models joined a lineup of glamorous guests at the label’s Alta Moda show in New York, the highlight of a four-day extravaganza of haute couture that also included a charity jewellery auction hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker. Wearing a dress she compared to a Sicilian cassata cake, 27-year-old Lady Kitty looked a true princess in her full, voluminous skirt and semi-sheer bodice. Lady Amelia, 22, meanwhile, dazzled in a strapless, flowing gown with a jewel-encrusted corset topped…

She is showbiz royalty, so when Paris Jackson – the daughter of music legend Michael – turned 20 this month, she held court in fittingly glamorous style. A beaming Paris was joined by famous friends and family, including hotel heiress Paris Hilton and her socialite mum Kathy, US singer Chris Brown and the birthday girl’s younger brother Prince at the party, held at Los Angeles club Hyde Sunset a few days after saying goodbye to her teens on A April. Also in attendance at the star-studded bash – a joint birthday celebration with her 33-year-old manager Tom Hamilton – was Diana Ross’s actor son Evan, his wife Ashlee Simpson and Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto. The birthday girl looked a rising star in her own right in a revealing retro get-up…

She may be the height of fashion, but designer Victoria Beckham can’t quite measure up to one of the giants of US sport, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal. The 7ft 1in star towered over Victoria (left) when she jetted into Los Angeles to unveil her curated collection of merchandise from sportswear label Reebok. Posting pictures from her night on Instagram, including an assisted slam dunk (below left) and one of her standing on a box next to Shaquille – but still coming up short – the former Spice Girl made light of the height difference. “Chose today not to wear heels??” she joked. She was joined by Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 15, and Cruz, 13, her three sons with husband David, who all posed with the basketball icon (above). The night concluded…

Presenter and designer Myleene Klass marked her 40th birthday last week with “the mother of all parties”. And the former Hear’Say star looked to be already in the party spirit as she prepared for the big bash “with my nearest and dearest”, her two daughters Ava, ten, and Hero, seven, in an Instagram post (below). Myleene’s milestone birthday came just before the launch of her latest clothing range with Littlewoods. On blooming form in an off-the-shoulder floral maxi dress from the new collection (left), Myleene says looking and feeling fabulous is all down to confidence. “If you wear something you feel good in, you walk a different walk,” she tells HELLO! . And when it comes to looking stylish in the spotlight, there is one person in particular who gets…

‘I’m a normal 18-year-old doing A-levels yet I’m mixing with Sir Tom Jones and Will.i.am’ For someone who has only had four hours’ sleep, Ruti Olajugbagbe is looking fresh-faced and refreshingly unfazed by her newfound fame when she meets HELLO! for her first exclusive photoshoot and interview, just days after being crowned winner of ITV talent show The Voice . And the gifted 18-year-old, who beat competition from 16-year-old Donel Mangena to take home the prize – a coveted record deal with Polydor – is still in disbelief about her success. “I’m starting to feel like a celeb, yes,” she smiles, as she gets her hair and make-up done by our glam squad. “It’s fun – I love getting my make-up done because I can’t do it myself. It’s just…

A heavily pregnant Zara Tindall joined her mother the Princess Royal, her brother Peter Phillips and Peter’s wife Autumn to attend the funeral of former BBC equestrian sports commentator Mike Tucker, who died last month aged 73. Equestrian Zara and Mike, a former eventer himself, knew each other through their mutual love of horses, and Mike delivered the commentary during some of Zara’s biggest triumphs, including when she won a silver medal in the team eventing at the 2012 London Olympics. STALWART AND FAMILY MAN Mike also commentated on the Badminton Horse Trials, at which Zara was a regular competitor.

With only a month to go until Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle, the couple have announced who will take their all-important wedding photographs. They have opted once more for Alexi Lubomirski, the British-born fashion photographer who was behind the couple’s stunning engagement pictures taken in the grounds of Frogmore House last November.

His full title is His Serene Highness Prince Alexi…

To celebrate 30 years of HELLO! , we are looking back at some of our most memorable covers. Firstly, we revisit tennis ace Andy Murray and Kim Sears’s Scottish wedding in 2015 (right); then, with just over a month to go until Prince Harry ties the knot, we recall the last-minute preparations for his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton’s nuptials in April 2011 (below far right). Another fond memory (below right) was the moment when Harry became an army officer. HELLO! captured the heart-warming exchange in April 2006 when the Queen smiled proudly at her grandson, who grinned back.

Lord Grade, co-producer with Michael Linnet of West End hits including 42nd Street , Sweeney Todd , Carousel and Sunset Boulevard , as well as the upcoming Chess , tells us why London is topping the bill in world theatre. ‘Theatre has survived better than any other form of “old-fashioned” entertainment as there is no way you can replicate the theatrical experience on a digital screen, however big or small or however many cameras you use. The intimacy you have between the performers and audience creates an emotional experience that you can’t get anywhere else. It’s true to say that we’re in a golden period at the moment. According to…

‘I’m not a girlie girl but this is the perfect opportunity to rock up in a dress’ Frankie Vogue Williams is telling us how she has always been a bit of a tomboy, while Frankie Bridge says she rarely wears a hat. But today the stylish pair are both in their element, trying on outfits ahead of one of the most fashionable dates on the world’s racing calendar. “It’s so exciting getting all dressed up and it’s the only occasion where I have a million plus-ones wanting to come with me,” says Vogue, the DJ and TV presenter, who is posing with singer and presenter Frankie Bridge to announce their roles as ambassadors for this year’s Investec Derby Festival. “I’m a bit of a tomboy,” continues the 32-year-old…

‘To create a beautiful canvas with a perfect complexion is way harder than to do a heavy smoky eye or red lips’ There’s a reason Hung Vanngo has been nicknamed Van Glow. The Vietnamese-born Canadian, one of the most in-demand make-up artists at this year’s Oscars, has become famous for his flash facials that leave his A-list clients looking flawless. “I’ve always loved beautiful skin,” Hung tells HELLO!. “I think that to create a beautiful canvas with a perfect complexion is way harder than to do a heavy smoky eye or red lips. That’s the part people rush – they never spend enough time to make the skin look perfect.” To do this, the Marc Jacobs Beauty global artistry ambassador always begins by exfoliating, followed, if time, by a Korean…

LOSE WEIGHT WELL Celebrity fitness and weight loss DVDs have come under fire recently, as experts claim that some famous faces owe their drastic weight loss to gruelling exercise regimes and severely restricted calorie intake – rather than their own DVD workouts. “This is a familiar tale,” says Dr Aria Campbell-Danesh, psychologist and weight management expert. “The celebrities typically regain their weight, fuelling feelings of shame.” So what is the secret to lasting weight loss? Forming good habits. “Studies show that the simpler the action, the quicker it becomes second nature,” says Dr Aria. “Make small changes that become ingrained into your lifestyle – try making one meal a day healthier, for instance. “Or start with a ten-minute walk or do three sets of 15 star jumps, 15 squats and…
