We’re living through an uncertain time right now and understandably, we’re feeling uneasy and anxious. At OK! HQ, we’re taking all the measures we can to stay safe as I’m sure you are, too. Ever since the news broke of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson contracting COVID-19, it’s hit home that all of us, regardless of circumstances, are at risk (turn to p8 to see how the outbreak has hit Hollywood –even the royal wedding is in jeopardy!). As we’re opting out of brunch dates and saying ‘hell yes’ to sofa sessions at home, it’s a good time to read OK! (of course!), that book you’ve had next to your bedside for ages and to keep up with the Kardashians. For all the goss on the latest season and other…

Unlucky in love Married At First Sight bride Connie Craydon is doing everything in her power to make her onscreen marriage to Jonethen Musulin work, but if – or when – their union finally dies, it seems Connie’s got a Plan B! An OK! spy reveals that Connie, 28, has got the hots for 2019’s Bachelor Matt Agnew! ‘The pair met at an event in Melbourne a few weeks ago,’ the fellow guest tells OK!. ‘They really hit it off!’ That astrophysicist Matt would be Connie’s type isn’t a surprise. The marine biology student has said a man with ‘good looks, intelligence and who’s a little bit nerdy’ floats her boat. Sound like anyone you know?! ‘Connie was chatting with Matt for ages,’ our spy adds. ‘They seemed to really…

It looks like Pitch Perfect star Brittany Snow’s love-life is on song – she’s just married her handsome fiancé Tyler Stanaland in the most beautiful ceremony. ’He’s so perfect, it’s weird,’ Brit, 34, says of her long-term love. Brittany wore an exquisite Jonathan Simkhai lace gown and the ceremony, in front of around 100 close family and friends, was at Malibu’s Cielo Farms vineyard. The couple’s cherished dog Billie sat at their feet during the vows. ‘They looked so happy and excited,’ a guest said. ‘Afterwards they walked through the vineyard and toasted guests with champagne.’ How aca-mazing!…

Since Bradley Cooper and model Irina Shayk split last June, the American Sniper star hasn’t had much luck in the romance department, which is why his New York neighbours Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have volunteered to play Cupid for him! ‘Being a single dad can get tough, so he hasn’t invested much time in dating,’ says a source of the 45-year-old. ‘He’s the first to admit he needs to snap out of it, so he’s looking forward to getting out there.’ The source says the pair are looking for a confident woman ‘with a great sense of humour’, and they’re not limiting their search to Hollywood. ‘Blake and Ryan are making a list of potential prospects,’ spills the source. ‘They’re very close with Bradley – their daughters have play…

Back in 2019, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi shelled out $43 million for a mansion in Montecito, California and it’s one property the famous house flippers may hang onto. That’s because Portia has moved in… by herself! ‘She’s officially left LA and moved to Montecito,’ a source reveals. ‘And Ellen’s stayed behind in LA, because they’re having problems. It’s also where she works.’ The talk show host, 62, and actress, 47, who are set to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary in August, are said to be having major issues over Ellen’s career. Portia wants her to retire, but Ellen refuses to ‘and is actually working more than ever’, says the source. ‘Ellen tries to appease her by giving her whatever she wants, like funding her art company and buying…

MEETINGS WITH NETFLIX Prince Harry once famously declared to senior courtiers that ‘what Meghan wants, Meghan gets’ – and never has that sentiment been more true than now. OK! has learned that the once D-list actress has had several top-secret meetings with streaming giant Netflix. ‘Her eyes are on the big prize – she wants an exclusive Netflix deal and nothing less,’ tells OK!’s insider. ‘Word has it she’s demanding a deal that will involve documentaries, movies and even a one-off sit-down interview with herself and Harry.’ COURTING THE A-LIST Meghan’s also hitting the phones hard trying to get her new famous buddies on board, including the Obamas, who have their own deal with Netflix, George Clooney, Idris Elba and Elton John. ‘This is a woman who isn’t afraid to…

#SOFIARICHIEXROLLAS Aussie brand Rolla’s has some big international fans, including Kourtney Kardashian and Bella Hadid, so it’s no surprise they’ve tapped model Sofia Richie as the face of their latest campaign. Rolla’s classic, iconic denim looks are the perfect fit for Sofia – a confident, modern woman with laid-back Californian style. WHAT WE’RE BUYING THIS WEEK In between seasons can be boring and confusing, and it’s usually when we spend the least money – which, depending on who you are, can be a bonus. That’s why, instead of shopping fast fashion for a quick fix, I’m updating my eyewear. It’s the best way to stay fresh and on trend without breaking the bank. I love this new shallow cat-eye style from Bailey Nelson. The colour extends the memories of summer…

Lucy Fry & Bridget Malcolm This Zimmermann dress combines a trendy prairie-style skirt with a modern neckline, and looked dreamy on both Aussie beauties. January Jones & Ruth Negga The cocktail length of this dress was fun and flirty on January, while Ruth’s version of The Vampire’s Wife frock exuded luxury. George Maple & Dua Lipa Both songstresses loved this Christopher Kane dress. Gothic negligee on top, pretty pink prom on the bottom. Why not?! Kaia Gerber & Nicky Hilton Rothschild We’ll take this sunny side up! Kaia owned this head-to-toe yellow ensemble on the Max Mara runway. Nicky picked her favourite part, the golden off-shoulder dress, to pair with white ankle-tie pointed pumps. Scarlett Johansson & Delilah Belle Hamlin Scarlett wore this busty asymmetric Tom Ford tuxedo with vampy…

CAMERON DIAZ ‘I say grab a mirror and play along. Get in there. Learn about it. You’re supposed to treat it like the beautiful flower that it is, the delicate flower that it is. And you’re supposed to nurture it in all the ways that it needs nurturing. [You should be] watering it, fertilising it. It needs nourishment. It’s hungry.’ SHAILENE WOODLEY ‘I like to give my vagina a little vitamin D… If you’re feeling depleted, go in the sun for an hour and see how much energy you get. Or, if you live in a place that has heavy winters, when the sun finally comes out, spread your legs and get some sunshine.’…

Open Facebook and someone is either getting engaged or shouting opinions no-one asked for. Scroll through your Instagram feed and that one girl from high school is promoting the latest multi-level marketing product and bragging about her ‘hustle’. Pop over to Twitter and you’ll be bombarded with celebrities yelling at other celebrities for not doing (read: tweeting) enough to solve the world’s problems. It never seems to slow down or get less frustrating, does it? (Not that it stops us from logging in, of course.) Some days, all the technology can start to feel, well, toxic. And when something is toxic, the best thing to do is take a break. For this particular technological toxicity, we’re proposing a ‘digital detox’. Digital detox means different things to different people. For some…

She’s keeping her relationship with John Miller on the down low – they’re rarely snapped together – but Ben flaunting his new love and gushing in interviews about how he regrets his divorce is causing friction for Jen and her new beau. A source reveals, ‘John isn’t exactly happy Ben’s still talking about Jen so much while he’s promoting The Way Back,’ adding that the 41-year-old has been very ‘uncomfortable’ about the attention surrounding Jen and her ex, Ben. As a result, Jen has been working overtime on making him feel secure and comfortable. The source continues, ‘She’s a straightforward person and very loyal.’…

CELESTE’S CATWALK! Say hi to your new favourite supermodel! Celeste Barber accepted the challenge to walk the runway at the Melbourne Fashion Festival recently. The comedian slayed in a slinky Rachel Gilbert gown. What a queen! GOT IT FROM HER MAMA! Talk about a mini-me! Jennifer Garner and her lookalike daughter Violet, 14, hit up a nail salon in LA last week. ‘Spending quality time with my kids individually is so important to me,’ Jen says of motherhood. Cute! LILY HORSES AROUND! Songstress Lily Allen got into the racing spirit as she cheered on her horse for the win at the Gold Cup Day at Cheltenham Festival in England. ‘She was getting right into it!’ an onlooker revealed. BECKS BARES ALL! He’s known as one of the hottest men on…

They were matched with different partners during the experiment, but groom Michael Goonan, 29, and intruder bride Kasey Osborne, 31, still found love on MAFS – with each other! And OK! can exclusively reveal things are getting serious fast! ‘The couple have already discussed moving in together in Melbourne, where Michael is currently based for work,’ a close friend tells. ‘There’s even talk about eloping to Vegas!’ The friend adds, ‘They’re such a good match. They really complement each other.’ Wowsers!…

Got something to tell us, Drew Barrymore? The actress and her ex-husband Will Kopelman reunited recently to for a day out with their five-year-old daughter Frankie in New York – and the outing quickly sparked whispers that the pair could be on their way to a reconciliation! ‘They looked very friendly for exes,’ tells an onlooker. Drew, 45, and Will, 41, who also share seven-year-old Olive, split in 2016 after a four-year marriage. And the actress revealed at the time they had remained on good terms for the sake of their children. ‘Our children are our universe, and we look forward to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority,’ she said in a statement. But after enjoying their day out, insiders have divulged getting back…

Adam Levine sheepishly admitted ‘things had gotten to’ him on Instagram after a very public meltdown at the Viña del Mar Festival in Chile. And OK! can now reveal his erratic behaviour was, in fact, because of his strained marriage to his wife, Behati Prinsloo. Despite the picture-perfect life they put out on social media, the inked Maroon 5 star, 41, and his wife of nearly six years have actually been leading separate – and unhappy – lives. ‘They’re clashing over everything. This may be the end for them,’ an insider dishes about the pair – who are parents to daughters Dusty, three, and two-year-old Gio. Adam and Behati, 31, also had a recent ‘blow-up fight’, after the singer decided to go on tour this summer, despite quitting NBC’s The…

The time to say goodbye had come. In January, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan broke the news to their 15 staff members, as well as domestic help, that in the wake of the couple’s decision to exit as senior royals and live in North America, they’d soon be closing their Buckingham Palace office. ”ONLY THEY KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BEHIND PALACE DOORS” On March 5, the Sussexes shut that door with a farewell lunch for their employees – most of whom had no choice but to negotiate exit packages, as only a handful could be reabsorbed elsewhere in the monarchy – at London’s posh Goring Hotel. Tears were shed – but they weren’t necessarily tears of joy for the Sussexes. ‘Many on Harry and Meghan’s palace staff say…

Katie Holmes is too young to be looking back on her storied life. But the discreet Dawson’s Creek star’s been reflecting openly about her past, including her painful 2012 divorce from Tom Cruise. ‘That time was intense,’ she said in a recent interview. ‘It was a lot of attention, and I had a little child [daughter Suri, now 13] on top of it.’ Fortunately, Katie, 41, could rely on the kindness of strangers. ‘There was one incredible moment when I think I actually cried,’ she confessed, recalling the time she had to fetch a distraught Suri from a sleepover at a friend’s. ‘She fell asleep on the way home, and when we pulled up to our building, the cab driver opened the door and helped carry her to the building.…

MALACHITE So many beauty brands are pulling from the gemstone gang when formulating their best and brightest new products. Allow us to introduce the latest crystal to catch the industry’s eye: malachite. Dubbed the ‘stone of transformation’ within the crystal realm, it’s earned a new name in the skincare area and being hailed by crystal expert Colleen McCann as ‘the botox of the crystal world’. With a chemical composition that stimulates collagen production, enhances elasticity and fights wrinkles (hence the botox comparison), it’s proving as valuable to complexions as it is to chakras. ‘Rich in copper, this mineral’s anti-free radical properties help to protect cellular structures,’ Colleen explains. Features are smoothed and dehydrated lines are plumped. TRY Avocado and retinol may get top billing, but malachite serves as the unsung…

Supermodel, business mogul, beauty guru and all-round babe, Elle Macpherson has always had a top spot on our list when it comes to fitspo goals. And at 55, that remains as true as ever. ‘When I was younger, I believed beauty and youth went hand in hand,’ says the homegrown stunner, who’s mum to Flynn, 22, and Cy, 17, with her ex Arpad Busson. ‘I’ve seen attitudes change and people focusing on wellness rather than youth, which is refreshing.’ It’s the philosophy behind Elle’s health range WelleCo (available at welleco.com.au), which offers supplements made from sustainable plant-based ingredients sourced from all over the world. Here, Elle talks about wellness, health and how she maintains her famous body… You always look amazing! What’s your favourite way to stay fit? Wellness is…

Rugged red escarpments, cascading waterfalls and majestic wetlands – there’s nothing quite like the Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory. Taking in the region’s natural beauty in a tent was always high on my bucket list. But doing it in style, without the hassle or fuss? Well, that was an added treat! LUXE LODGING A three-hour drive south-east of Darwin, Indigenous-owned Cooinda Lodge is an ideal base to stage your Kakadu adventure, due to the site’s proximity to magical places like Nourlangie Rock – home to some of the world’s oldest Aboriginal rock art – and variety of tours. After I joined an off-road 4WD trip to the Insta-worthy Gunlom Falls and glistening jade-green Maguk plunge pool and waterfall, it was reassuring to know there was a queen-sized bed and…

Despite being in their happy baby bubble with their new baby daughter Raddix, Joel’s twin brother Benji and his wife Cameron Diaz, 47, who is close friends with her sister-in-law Nicole, are deeply concerned for the couple. ‘It’s interesting watching it play out,’ says a Madden insider. ‘Benji of course will always back Joel, but Cameron totally sees where Nicole is coming from – and probably fears the same thing happening in her own marriage once their baby grows up. ‘If Nicole and Joel go through with a split, it’s probably going to force Benji and Cam to face some home truths, too.’…

KENDALL JENNER Need your daily dose of the reality star-turned-model? Just head over to the 24-year-old’s Instagram page. Kendall often snaps shots of herself in the mirror, showing off her latest outfit, newest beauty product obsession or, well… nothing at all. ‘Back to work,’ she captioned a recent mirror selfie, in which she’s wearing a crop top and undies. Looking good, Kenny! KATE BECKINSALE She’s an expert at multitasking. Not only can the Underworld actress, 46, take great pictures of herself – her posts range from workout snaps at the gym to high-fashion shots on the red carpet – she can snag a flawless selfie while getting her glam on. In a recent birthday post celebrating make-up artist Rob Scheppy, she shared a photo of the two of them, taken…

It’s meant to be the happiest day of a woman’s life, but Princess Beatrice’s fairytale wedding to her Italian fiancé, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, has now been thrown into chaos, thanks to the rapid spread of coronavirus, with the disheartened pair even considering calling the wedding off entirely. The 31-year-old was all set to marry her other half on May 29 at The Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, London, but as things stand it looks like the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, will be walking down the aisle in an empty chapel. ‘That’s if the wedding even goes ahead,’ says a palace insider. ‘There are no guarantees.’ With property developer Edo’s family and friends based in Lombardo – one of the epicentres of Italy’s COVID-19…

As Taylor Swift gears up to spend more time across the pond with her London-based beau Joe Alwyn, she’s hoping to find a support system there as well. ‘She’s excited to hit the reset button,’ spills an insider. ‘Taylor’s the first to admit she’s been living a pretty sheltered life for the past few years, but she has zero regrets about cutting certain people out of her posse.’ According to the insider, the singer, 30, is hoping to rub shoulders with the likes of Emma Watson, Lily James and Daisy Ridley, but she’s open to anyone deemed trustworthy. ‘She’s looking for lifelong friends,’ the insider states. ‘She wants a group that will have each other’s backs through thick and thin.’…

Kaley Cuoco is finally shacking up with her husband – after being married for two years! The actress and her hubby Karl Cook have finished construction on their breathtaking $19.5 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California, and the Big Bang Theory beauty, 34, can’t wait to move in after she wraps up shooting her new HBO Max series, The Flight Attendant, in NY. ‘We are built! We are so excited,’ gushed Kaley, who said she’s been living apart from Karl, 29, ‘because of work, his business and his horses’. ‘We haven’t spent an evening in it yet,’ says Kaley, who put her former home – a Mediterranean-style villa in Tarzana she bought from Khloé Kardashian – up for sale last year. ‘When I wrap, that will be our first time…

Perched on the western bank of the Delaware River, which separates Pennsylvania from New Jersey, Philadelphia is one of the United States’ grandest cities. It served as the first national capital for a decade while Washington DC was being built, and boasts the ‘most historic square mile in the country’. That’s the Independence National Historical Park, a cluster of UNESCO World Heritage buildings where the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution were signed, and where the icon of independence and freedom, the Liberty Bell, is housed in a glassed pavilion. Some seem to picture Philadelphia as grim and gritty, an industrial city in decline. But think again – trendy cafes and pubs, park and community vegetable gardens, gayborhoods and houses adorned with hanging baskets of flowers await… PHILLY’S FAVE FOOD…

A native New Yorker, Anne Hathaway knows a good piece of real estate when she sees one. So it was no surprise when the actress scooped up this Manhattan penthouse back in 2016. Now, after welcoming her second son, Jack, late last year, the actress and her husband Adam Shulman are in need of some more room for their growing boys – so the pair are offloading their tastefully renovated pad! Hoping to score $5.3 million from the sale, Anne’s minimalist two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is located in a historic Neo-Georgian mansion on the Upper West Side close to Central Park, with the apartment accessible via a private key-locked elevator which opens directly into the living area. With a state-of-the-art kitchen and five-metre-high ceilings, the inside of the apartment is quite…

A romantic stroll on the sand in Costa Rica – and a cheeky smooch – was enough to cement Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas as the newest Hollywood couple to watch! The pair, who as OK! previously reported, got close while working on the film Deep Water together late last year, couldn’t take their eyes – or their hands! – off each other as they hit the beach, as they finally confirmed their hot new romance with a passionate kiss. Ben appeared infatuated with the actress as they walked along the beach together, stopping from time to time to take some candid photos of his stunning new lady love. ‘He’s definitely smitten,’ reveals a source close to the 47-year-old. ‘Their chemistry is off the charts!’ Ben and Ana, 31,…
