There seems to be a lot of uncertainty around in the world at the moment and unsurprisingly, that’s reflected in the lives of celebs, too. From Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet opening up about the effect the pandemic has had on their marriage – read more about why they suddenly split on page 8 – to Kim Kardashian’s simmering drama with her ex, Ye West, as their divorce gets messy (turn to page 12), it seems not even insanely wealthy A-listers are immune to the crazy times. Not that it’s all doom and gloom out there. Like many (nerds!), I’m obsessed with the daily Wordle puzzle drop – its inventor created it for his girlfriend and the world fell in love with the game – plus I’m excited about an…

They’ve been together for a massive 17 years but only made it official by tying the knot in November 2017. So it came as a massive shock when Hollywood’s “coolest couple” Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet announced they were through only four years later. In a joint statement they shared to social media on January 13, the Aquaman star, 42, and The Cosby Show actress, 54, revealed their love couldn’t survive the coronavirus pandemic. “We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times … A revolution is unfolding and our family is of no exception,” the pair said. “We free each other – to be who we are learning to become.” The couple, who share daughter Lola, 14, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 13 (Bonet also shares daughter Zoë…

Carrie Bickmore is smoking hot! Before returning to her hosting seat on The Project this week, the 41-year-old took a well-deserved vacay with her family – and we imagine all eyes were on the mum-of-three who looked incredible in her bikini. In a recent Instagram Live, Bickmore admits the 2021 lockdown laws forced her to relax her fitness regimen. “My morning routine has been a little different,” she told her followers. “I am happier when I am active. Both my physical and mental health feel better when I move. I noticed my motivation dropping severely during this year’s round two of lockdown,” she admitted. And she loves getting her three kids in on the action. “Running, riding bikes, heading down to the athletics track. I knew it was important for…

The extravaganza Kim Kardashian threw on January 15 to celebrate daughter Chicago’s fourth birthday featured balloon displays, a ball pit and face painting. But as usual, there was also plenty of drama after Ye (formerly Kanye) West went viral claiming he wasn’t invited to the family event. “Y’all, I’m just wishing my daughter a public happy birthday,” said West, streaming a live video from his car as he drove around LA. “Won’t nobody give me the address to my daughter’s birthday party right now, and that’s going to imprint in her mind that I wasn’t there for her.” It’s been almost a year since Kardashian, 41, filed for divorce from West in February 2021. Tensions between the former power couple, who share four children, have boiled over since Kardashian found…

PRINCESS DIANA Diana fought tooth and nail to keep her HRH status during her 1996 divorce. It’s believed she was stripped of the honour at Charles’ insistence as payback over her Panorama interview. HARRY AND MEGHAN The pair tried to stay on as part-time royals while also exploring commercial ventures. They were eventually told to choose and quit, giving an interview claiming racism forced them to leave. WALLIS SIMPSON The divorcee was denied the status by the Queen’s dad upon her wedding to EdwardVIII. The former king vowed to “never set foot” in England again after the snub.…

It isn’t easy keeping love alive with the added pressures of being in the public eye. But this year will see Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds buck the trend as they happily celebrate a decade of wedded bliss. “We’ve been together for nearly 10 years,” the Deadpool actor, 45, recently said on the SmartLess podcast. “That’s like, 35 years in Hollywood terms,” he quipped. The couple met on the set of their 2011 flick Green Lantern. At the time, Reynolds was still married to his ex-wife Scarlett Johansson, 37, while Lively was dating her Gossip Girl love interest, Penn Badgley, 35. A firm foundation of friendship was formed in the first “year and a half” while they were just “buddies”. “That was the biggest thing to me,” Lively, 34, told…

Scott Speedman is starring on two hit shows, but (at the time of this interview) he was preoccupied with something far more momentous: the arrival of his first child. “It’s the countdown now,” he said in the final days of his girlfriend Lindsay Rae Hofmann’s pregnancy (Pfeiffer Lucia was born on October 26). “Dad mode, whatever that is, I’m going to be in it soon!” As he prepared for the life-changing event, Speedman, 46, reflected on his career so far, two decades after his breakout on the TV series Felicity, which ran from 1998 to 2002. “I always had a singular track when it came to work, and I stepped away from a lot of the attention,” he says. “I probably should have said yes more – and had more…

As regular people struggle to cope with suddenly being thrust into the spotlight, there have been plenty of tragedies within the reality TV world. But no show has been plagued with as much heartbreak as Love Island. The British dating show has been rocked by a string of suicides, including that of its host, Caroline Flack. Contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis also took their own lives. After appearing in the show’s first same-sex relationship, Gradon spoke out about the lack of psychological care provided afterward when she was trolled online.“[The producers] will lie, trick you and segregate you should you speak out against them BUT they provide a therapist for 6 months after so it’s OK,” she shared on social media.…

From lychees and pomegranate to watermelon and berries, beauty has gone troppo for exotic fruits this season. With summer in full swing, we’re in cocktails-by-the-pool mode as we almost drink in these fruit-inspired products. Long balmy days just cry out for a cherry-toned lipstick, such as Revlon’s new Super Lustrous Matte, which comes in a popping pinky red that suits just about everyone. Then we’re spritzing on a fun, fruity scent and heading out to revel in the long lazy days and nights.…

WHAT IT IS: Cupping is a technique used in Chinese medicine to remove stagnation and stimulate the flow of qi, which is the free flow of energy through the body and the world around us. When it’s disrupted, it can create blockages and stagnation leading to imbalances. THE VERDICT: Following an extensive consultation with Dr Adeel Munshi from Perth’s The Modern Dr clinic, which included discussing my medical history along with my family’s, plus an examination of my tongue and pulse points, it was determined there was stagnation in my liver, kidneys, heart and lungs, as well as dampness throughout my body. This was causing my fatigue, brain fogginess and hip pain, and contributing to eczema and ulcerative colitis flare-ups. Cups were suctioned onto my back and neck. The placement…

START WITH AN EGG Think of eggs as the ultimate slimmer’s breakfast food. “You don’t need to limit eggs – they’re high in protein and contain all nine essential amino acids, so are very nutritious,” says Dr Nick Fuller, Aussie diet expert and author of Interval Weight Loss. “They should be eaten boiled or poached. If fried, they should be cooked in a small amount of olive oil.” GET MOVING If you haven’t been exercising and start moving more now, you’ll soon notice a difference to that difficult-to-shift layer of flab around your middle. “Getting rid of it comes down to burning more calories than you’re consuming,” explains fitness coach Jason Cronshaw. “The key is to start slow and steady – at least 15 minutes of exercise two or three…

With her superior kitchen skills, it’s no surprise that Poh Ling Yeow was quickly promoted to the role of camp cook when she was dropped into the Aussie bush on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. And while she’s used to whipping up tasty morsels with a few more ingredients than the meagre rations she was given, Yeow says she didn’t fear being judged by her campmates. “I was looking forward to the challenge and sometimes having little choice means less decisions and less stress,” the 49-year-old artist tells WHO. “I was really anal about cutting the ingredients small so everyone would get even amounts of everything, but also so more flavour could be drawn out in a shorter amount of time. I thought people would lose their…

For a band synonymous with sundowner sets, the past two years haven’t been easy for Brisbane five-piece Ball Park Music. Their indie pop hits are fun to dance along to at outdoor festivals, which they’ve made their own, including Falls, Groovin’The Moo and Splendour in the Grass. Now the band are praying that Queensland’s The Long Sunset festival will go ahead on February 12. “We love what we do and we hope we’re able to do a lot more of it this year,” the band posted on Instagram earlier this month. The band, consisting of vocalist Sam Cromack, Jennifer Boyce, twins Dean and Daniel Hanson and Paul Furness, formed while studying together at university in 2008. They have released five albums including their self-titled album in 2020, which peaked at…

Last time I danced About two days ago with my kids [Edie, 6, and Delilah, 2] in our kitchen. I am always informed that I must dance, and, like a sort of puppet, I have to get up and swing them around. Last thing I discovered about myself I can spend a very, very long time perfectly happily colouring in books with two very small children. If I’m building something or colouring something in, then I’m all right. Last time I cried Watching The Great British Bake Off. I’m dyslexic, and there was a woman on it who baked a dyslexic cake, and she said it was like the inside of her brain. It was so beautiful, it literally had me bawling on the sofa. Last moment of bliss I…

There was no extended holiday for Jennifer Aniston this festive season. The actress was already back on set in Hawaii on January 19 with Adam Sandler, 55, to film Murder Mystery 2. The film is a sequel to their 2019 Netflix hit, which saw the pair play a married couple attempting to spice up their life by taking a trip to Europe. However, the couple end up as suspects in an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery. While we’re still working off those COVID and Christmas kilos, the actress gave us serious envy after a gust of wind showed off her very trim and toned pins. But the 52-year-old’s workout regimen isn’t for the faint-hearted, with the Friends star admitting she hits the gym “every day”. “I usually do a trifecta,” she…

She may be busy hitting the stage in Las Vegas each night to perform her show PLAY, but Katy Perry always makes time for her man. The musician jetted back to LA on January 12 to treat lover Orlando Bloom to an Italian feast with friends at the Mother Wolf restaurant in Hollywood, the night before his big 45th birthday. The next day, the musician, 37, gushed over her fiancé in a loving tribute she shared to social media.“Happiest 45th to the kindest, deepest, most soulful, sexy & strong man I know,” Perry said alongside a series of snaps from their life together. “Thank you for being a constant compass, an unwavering anchor and bringing joi de vivre into every room you walk in. You are the love and light…

In the years since actress Dakota Johnson and rocker Chris Martin were first spotted on a sushi date in Los Angeles in October 2017, the pair have kept most details of their relationship under wraps. “We’ve been together for quite a while, and we go out sometimes, but we both work so much that it’s nice to be at home and be cosy and private,” Johnson revealed in an interview with Elle UK. “Most of the partying takes place inside my house,” she added, admitting that her ideal Friday night these days is pretty tame, saying, “I’ve been working so much that drinking tea and watching TV is appealing to me.” Rumours have been circulating since December 2020 that the couple are engaged, but they have yet to confirm it.…

Grace Kelly shattered the myth that being a princess is easy when she said: “The idea of my life as a fairytale is itself a fairytale.” Almost 40 years after Grace’s death, her daughter-in-law continues to struggle with life in the spotlight. After a difficult year that saw Princess Charlene spend months separated from her twins while she convalesced in South Africa following medical issues, 2022 doesn’t seem to be getting off to a better start. The former Olympic swimmer, 43, remains separated from Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, both 7, outside of Monaco, where she is being treated for physical and emotional exhaustion. “She was overwhelmed and couldn’t face duties, life in general or even family,” her husband Prince Albert, 63, confirmed. “She realised herself that she needed treatment.”…

1. INVEST IN NATURAL Most of us will be a sweaty mess as we hit the peak of summer, whether we’re clothed or not. But rather than relying on air-conditioning or finding a watering hole, you could be avoiding that sticky feeling by investing in good quality natural fibres for your summer wardrobe. First stop: cut the synthetics and look for 100 per cent cotton or linen, or a blend of the two. They’re the most cooling fabrics of them all and often come in breezy silhouettes, meaning maximum air flow. Even pants are comfortable if it’s in linen. 2. TOES OUT It goes without saying that uncovering your extremities can help you feel cooler for longer. Put your sneakers away for the summer, and if you need some support,…

Abbie Chatfield is kicking off the new year on a high. She’s madly in love, she’s mended fences with her bestie and her It’s A Lot podcast is going from strength to strength. Now she’s also radio’s hottest new host, thanks to the launch of her national show Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield on the Hit Network.“It’s been a pretty wild time,” she tells WHO. “Even by my standards!” That wild time kicked off following a fateful trip to Byron Bay last November when Chatfield was introduced to Konrad Bień-Stephen, who was then currently featuring on Brooke Blurton’s recent season of The Bachelorette. Sparks immediately flew and since then, they’ve been joined at the hip. Now Chatfield tells WHO that they’re moving in together.“I’ve never lived with a partner and…

There is no-one in the world who can bring out both your best and worst traits quite like a sister. And it’s definitely a case of the latter for Britney Spears and her younger sibling Jamie Lynn right now. The stars have become embroiled in a very public spat since Britney was freed from her conservatorship in November. Jamie Lynn, 30, defended herself against criticisms she should have done more to help the musician, 40, while appearing on Good Morning America on January 12.“First off, I don’t understand… when it was put into place I was a 17-year-old who was about to have a baby. I didn’t understand what was happening. I understand just as little about it then as I do now,”she said. Britney hit back on social media,…

PANIC ROOM Stewart got her big break alongside Jodie Foster in the thriller. Foster told MTV, “I spent 110 days in a very small room with that girl. I’m so proud to see what an amazing young lady she’s turned into, and a great actress.” TWILIGHT Thanks to Stephenie Meyer’s books, Stewart earned a whopping $30 million by the end of the final film adaptation. She played Bella Swan in the cult classic, a typical American teen who falls for vampire Edward Cullen. CHARLIE’S ANGELS Stewart picked up the role of Sabina Wilson, a New York trust fund princess who ended up in jail before turning her life around as a crime fighter. “I’m really proud of the movie and I’m so happy that it exists,” Stewart told IndieWire. HAPPIEST…

With their blonde hair and good looks, it’s easy to see why Charlene is constantly compared to her husband’s mum, Grace Kelly. But the actress grew to be so loved by the people of Monaco that royal experts believe her shadow doomed Charlene from ever succeeding in royal life. “Lots of people got the impression it was an arranged marriage, it’s true,”royal expert Philippe Delorme told French magazine Madame Figaro of Charlene and Albert’s union.“Albert clearly chose a wife who resembled his mother, and Charlene clearly felt very ill at ease in this Grace Kelly role they want her to play.”…

When Miriam Rivera first appeared on screen in her 2004 reality dating TV show, There’s Something About Miriam, her wide smile hid a secret that the six British male contestants – who were flown to a Spanish villa to win the heart of the 21-year-old Mexican model – knew nothing about. Viewers were quickly let in on the joke – Rivera was a transgender woman. It was a shock twist that was only revealed to the guys in a dramatic finale when Rivera had whittled them down to one – Tom Rooke, a then-23-year-old lifeguard whom she hoped to sail off into the sunset with. If Rooke agreed to board the yacht with her for a private vacation, he’d be rewarded with a $20,000 prize. “Tom, I really love spending…

Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to the UK from Italy, where he was playing for Juventus FC, was seemingly made very easy, thanks to this stunning $11.3 million mansion that sits on 23 acres of land, just outside of Cheshire in the English countryside. But alas, the seven-bedroom estate with a huge indoor pool, state-of-the-art gym, lush views and modern architecture just didn’t cut it for the 36-year-old and his 27-year-old wife, Georgina Rodríguez, who’s expecting twins with the sporting great. According to a source close to the billionaire athlete, local livestock drove him out of the palatial pad just a week after moving in! “While the property is beautiful and is nestled in rolling fields and woodland, it was also close to sheep which are very noisy early in the morning,”…

Turns out there is more than one way to meditate. Meditation guru Luke McLeod explains how you can uncover the best kind for you, helping you to find your inner peace. VISUAL You’ll know you’re more of a visual person when you use words such as “see” and “imagine” when describing things or situations. “You’ll also tend to prefer watching a documentary over listening to a podcast,” says McLeod. “If this sounds like you, I’d recommend flame or ocean meditation. [This is where you] concentrate on the flame of a candle or the horizon of the ocean, trying to notice all the subtle changes – the shifting colours, shapes and movement of these visual experiences.” AUDITORY You love podcasts, are sensitive to sounds happening around you, and focus best when…

It seems like there is no escaping Jamie Dornan these days. While most of us spent the pandemic stuck in one place, the sexy Fifty Shades of Grey star trotted the globe to work on new projects. His jaunts took him to Adelaide to shoot The Tourist, now streaming on Stan, and the UK to film his tear-jerking new film Belfast. The drama tells the personal story of 9-year-old Buddy (Jude Hill) who is growing up in the city in Northern Ireland during the ’60s, just as the 30-year period of violence known as “The Troubles” breaks out. Dornan plays the family patriarch, Pa. After losing his father Jim Dornan to COVID-19 last March, the story became even more personal for the actor. The Fall star’s dad grew up in…

Len’s new young adult fantasy novel – she tells the story of Joan Chang-Hunt, who has no idea she’s part monster until she’s thrust into a battle between the boy she has a crush on and one of the most ruthless monster families of London. “I was inspired to write a story about what it might feel like if a hero – maybe even a good, decent, upright hero – were fighting against you rather than for you,” she explains. (Out Feb. 1) As an Aussie teen with a Chinese-Malaysian background, Vanessa Len admits she didn’t often see herself reflected in books or on screen – unless it was as the villain. “When I was growing up, there weren’t a lot of heroes who looked like me in the big…
