It used to be the norm that one wedding ceremony (per husband!) was enough. But nowadays it seems that multiple dresses and multiple ceremonies are the go when it comes to tying the knot. It’s a notion Kourtney Kardashian has embraced enthusiastically. At last count, the reality star had enjoyed a Vegas practice ceremony after last month’s Grammy Awards, then made it official in a low-key LA do last week. But Kourtney, who’s never been married before, saved the best until last with her sumptuous Portofino bash. Talk about rock’n’roll glamour! Check out all the gorgeous pics from the star’s third big day from page 12. I’m old enough to remember enjoying Top Gun – and yes, that volleyball scene! – when it hit cinemas back in the day. So,…

Miranda Kerr and her billionaire hubby Evan Spiegel have changed the lives of a lucky group of college students in the US with a very generous graduation gift. The Aussie model and the Snapchat founder – who studied at Otis College of Art and Design – covered the student fees of the entire graduating class, to the tune of over $14 million. The couple who are worth around $6.7 billion were at the ceremony when college president Charles Hirschhorn announced the news, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. “We know that for most of you and your families, the shared burden of student debt is a heavy price that you paid for an exceptional Otis College education,” Hirschhorn began. “We are pleased to announce today that Evan…

We’re used to seeing Elsa Pataky going about her mum duties in her beloved Byron Bay, barefoot in all her bohemian glory. But in the latest edition of Marie Claire Australia, the 45-year-old star of Netflix’s new kick-ass action film – and the woman behind Chris Hemsworth – is the epitome of glamour. As the leading lady of the Russian nuclear invasion flick, Interceptor, Pataky was forced to step up her usual daily gym sessions to four to six hours of military-style training each day that kicked off six months before production, all while juggling three children. “I’ve seen how much Chris works, and every actor who does these sorts of films,” she tells the mag, adding that this time it was all about her. “This would be my challenge,”…

Cruise tells WHO how Top Gun only fuelled his love of flying. “I grew up loving aviation. I had a Spitfire and a P-51on my bedroom wall. All I ever wanted to be was a pilot or an actor, so Top Gun was a huge moment in so many respects, including my passion for aviation. Top Gun was life-changing for me. I got to actually fly in an F-14 jet which was a dream come true and play a character I loved in Maverick. That experience has stayed with me and been part of my life ever since. Even now, I can be flying my P-51 and the tower will call me Mav over the radio.”…

It’s the end of an era for Colson Baker, better know as Machine Gun Kelly. The performer is moving out of the house he shares with his bandmates and into an $11 million home with fiancée Megan Fox. MGK purchased the Encino mansion from YouTuber Logan Paul, at a discount - $2 million less than the original asking price. Bought by the internet entrepreneur in 2017, it’s undergone a complete interior overhaul, meaning Kelly, 32, and Fox, 36, won’t need to lift a finger. And with seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and eight powder rooms, plus a family room, there’s an abundance of space for the three children Fox shares with ex-husband, Brian Austin Green. For the adults, there’s a custom wet bar, a wine cellar, a stunning kitchen with…

Of all forms of public speaking, stand-up comedy is possibly the most terrifying. While we’re not saying you need to try it (unless you want to, of course!) it may help to take a few tips from those who jump in at the deep end. Laura Bouskila from The Uncanny, a Sydney cocktail bar and restaurant that holds monthly open mic comedy nights, says the key is to start without expectations and give yourself unconditional love, no matter the outcome.“What is really important with public speaking is giving it a go and practising,” she explains. “Give yourself space and opportunity to grow.” Visit uncannynewtown.com…

Joe Alwyn is Mr Everywhere. You can’t flick through a magazine, scroll through social media or trawl a website without seeing the British actor’s face. As the leading man in Sally Rooney’s latest book-to-TV adaptation, Conversations With Friends, he’s earning rave reviews, and not just from legions of the author’s fans. “Can confirm it’s phenomenal,” Taylor Swift gushed prior to the May 16 premiere. In case you didn’t already know, Swift is Alwyn’s long-time love and we’re waiting for the wedding announcement any day now! “She’s a big fan of Sally’s writing and loved the book, like I did, so she was equally thrilled when I got the part,” the 31-year-old actor – who plays Nick, a married man who embarks on an affair with scriptwriter Frances – told Harper’s…

Congratulations are in order for action star Chris Pratt, 42, and Katherine Schwarzenegger, 32. The husband and wife duo announced they’d welcomed their second child, another girl, on May 21, in Los Angeles. “We are so excited to announce the birth of our second daughter, Eloise Christina Schwarzenegger Pratt,”the couple said in a shared Instagram announcement. “We feel beyond blessed and grateful.”In his post, Pratt added:“Mama and baby are doing well.” Pratt – who already shares a son, Jack, 9, with ex-wife Anna Faris – welcomed daughter Lyla Maria with his wife back in 2020, a little over a year after they tied the knot in Montecito, California. “We met at church,”the Guardians of the Galaxy actor told Extra in 2019. “It was a lot of kismet, and a lot…

Did you here that? That was the sound of the male population collectively weeping, because Charlize Theron is off the market! “Charlize has been hooking up with Gabriel Aubry,”a source told US Weekly of the 46-year-old actress and the Canadian model, 45. But for those who still think they’ve got a chance with the Oscar-winner and mother-of-two, there may be hope yet, as the source adds:“They’re very casual and enjoying each other. It’s nothing serious.” It’s not the first time they’ve been linked. In 2017, Theron denied they were an item on Watch What Happens Live, “I’ve never met him,”before backtracking.“I met him for, like, three seconds. Like, passing I was just like,‘Hi!’, because our kids go to the same school.” Three years later, she cemented her long-time single status…

Prepare yourselves people – the circus is coming to town! Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson are set to make Australia their home when the US comedian starts filming the movie Wizards! later this year. Davidson, who skipped Kourtney and Travis’ big day as he was making his final appearance on Saturday Night Live after eight years as a cast member, has signed on to the film shooting in Queensland. Written by David Michôd, the movie follows the comical exploits of two beach-bar operators (Davidson and Franz Rogowski) who run into trouble when they stumble across stolen treasure. Speculation is mounting that Kardashian will join Davidson here for at least part of the production, perhaps even filming for her reality series The Kardashians while down under. Let’s just hope…

With the release of her latest novel Dancing With the Enemy – a fascinating story of betrayal, collusion, revenge and redemption set in German-occupied Jersey during World War II – Diane Armstrong says that once again she has written about issues she is processing, and posing questions about human nature that have no answers. “I’m a child Holocaust survivor and a lot of my writing has been devoted to trying to understand how this could have happened and to understand the human nature that allowed it to happen,” says the author, 83. “Any war shows the best and worst in human nature and that’s what I’ve explored in all of my books – how people can do terrible things and yet those same people can sometimes do very compassionate things.…

Nothing makes you feel brand new or gives you a bigger confidence boost than a serious hair change (there’s a reason the salon is the first stop after a break-up!). There’s something about going from blonde to brunette or chopping it all off that somehow just widens up your whole beauty world. This effect is something our favourite style stars are well aware of, too. Hollywood loves a hair transformation, and we love the inspo they give us. So, whether they’re lopping off some length, colouring their ends copper or anything in between, here are the best celeb hair transformations to take note of this season… WHO KRISTEN WIIG Wiig proved blondes don’t always have more fun, debuting a dark raven pixie cut at this year’s Critics’Choice Awards. Usually a…

Public speaking is often listed as one of our most common phobias, right up there with spiders, snakes and flying. In fact, it’s estimated that around 25 per cent of people have a fear of talking in front of large groups of people, which can limit potential opportunities in their career and other areas of life. And there’s more bad news for shy wallflowers, because these days, presentation skills are more important than ever. While many of us had managed to fly under the public speaking radar until now, the rise of Zoom has changed all that. “Since COVID-19, we’ve been thrust in front of the camera and expected to perform as a professional presenter on Zoom or social media to tell and sell our stories for our businesses or…

1 FUEL YOUR BODY WITH SMART CARBS  When you need to keep your energy from flagging, ignore your chocolate stash in favour of a bowl of porridge with yoghurt and berries, or a chicken and salad sandwich on brown bread for longer-lasting get-up-and-go. “Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in your diet, so be sure to include at least two serves of wholegrains, such as oats, rice or wholegrain bread each day,” says accredited practising dietitian Melanie McGrice, who adds that we should be careful to watch portion sizes. “One serve of carbohydrates is equivalent to 30g oats, half a cup of cooked rice or one slice of bread – be careful not to eat too many carbs at once, since overdoing it can impact your serotonin hormones and…

ARIES MAR. 20-APR. 18 Do you feel like you’re a bit on fire? Being highly motivated often seems to go hand in hand with being highly agitated, have you noticed? Many Aries people are filled with incredible firepower, and so they get things done. But they also often have a short fuse. This week, channel all the intense energies into motivation. TAURUS APR. 19-MAY 20 It’s time to stop, revive and thrive. Breathe in and out slowly. There’s a picture emerging in your horoscope this week. You need to do the work on yourself to clear away the fear and self-doubt. Once you do that, your increased self-esteem could literally pay off financially. It’s all about knowing you are worth something. GEMINI MAY 21-JUN. 20 Are you feeling it? A…

Hosted by actress and singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Space 22 follows seven strangers who live with mental illness, as they take part in an experiment to test whether participating in the creative arts can have a positive impact on their mental health and wellbeing. Mentoring the group in three artistic disciplines are three familiar faces who are pros in their respective fields: Archibald Prize winner Wendy Sharpe, mixed media artist Abdul Abdulla and actor-singer-writer Eddie Perfect.

The new limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, in which Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) saw the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), who turned to the dark side as Darth Vader. This six-episode treat begins as Kenobi watches over young Luke Skywalker and evades the Empire’s elite Jedi hunters during his exile on the desolate desert planet Tatooine. We’re praying for a second season. (Premieres Fri., May 27 on Disney Plus)…

As if he didn’t already have his hands full as a new dad to twin sons, drummer and artist Ben Gillies is also back at work releasing new music. The star, who co-wrote many of Silverchair’s early hits – he was the band’s drummer throughout their 19-year lifespan – has just released his solo single ‘On the Stereo’. The feel-good, catchy tune is a passion project for Gillies, 42. ”There’s no right time to come back with music; it’s ready when it’s ready,” he tells WHO. “When something’s ready, that’s when I like to share it.” Gillies adds that the tune was inspired by “wanting to rediscover that childlike spark we all have for music when we first discover our favourite band, artist or song”. As for what he’s listening…

Authors Jordan Gould and Richard Pritchard’s vision for Wylah: The Koorie Warrior is simple. “Our passion and hope for Wylah is to create a vessel of change,” Pritchard tells WHO, just days ahead of their book’s release. Aimed at young Aussies, it’s a story about a young girl whose tribe is attacked by the Dragon Army and taken captive. Wylah must summon the courage to unite the five Guardians and save her people. A wonderful story filled with heart, the book came together in a unique way. “Jordan has high functioning autism, so we developed a way we could tell the story together using each of our strengths,” Pritchard says of co-author Gould, who’s also a Peek Whurrong man. “We would record all our story structure meetings over Zoom. Then…

May 19 marked an unforgettable evening for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The future King of England looked like a bona fide movie star at the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick at London’s Leicester Square, but it was his glamorous wife who stole the show alongside the film’s leading man, Tom Cruise. The duchess was radiant in a monochromatic gown by French designer, Roland Mouret complemented by Robinson Pelham diamond earrings – and Cruise noticed. The actor, 59, couldn’t take his eyes off the future Queen Consort, 40, and even took Kate’s hand as she climbed the theatre’s steps in her towering heels, while William could only watch on. But Kate’s real-life Prince Charming didn’t get the cold shoulder for long. A former Royal Airforce chopper rescue pilot, Wills,…

Weeks after it was announced that Netflix was scrapping Meghan Markle’s proposed animated series Pearl amid cost-cutting measures, Page Six has reported that the streaming giant is banking on an “at home with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex-style” docuseries from the couple. In 2020, the former royals reportedly cut a $140 million content deal with the streaming giant.“I think it’s fair to say Netflix is getting its pound of flesh,”a Hollywood insider told the outlet. “The cameras have been allowed behind the scenes at their home in Montecito, California and joined the Sussexes on their trip to NYC last September,”said the source, who added that this project promises to be“juicier” than the couple’s docuseries about the Invictus Games, Heart of Invictus, which is still greenlit. Previously, a TV and…

Amid his custody battle with ex Olivia Wilde, comedian Jason Sudeikis has split from his girlfriend Keeley Hazell. The Ted Lasso actor, 46, and British model, 35 – who first met back in 2013 on the set of Horrible Bosses 2 – were originally linked in February 2021, just after Sudeikis’split with Wilde went public. Pictures of the pair together surfaced in June of that year, where they were shown cuddling up during a trip to New York. By November 2021, they were photographed kissing while on vacay in Mexico. Now according to The Sun, the couple-of-16-months “struggled to make it work due to their hectic schedules”.…

It’s the ultimate rags to riches story – or should we say poverty to power. Born to a single mother on a disability pension and raised in public housing, Anthony Albanese’s life-long dream of becoming Australia’s Prime Minister came true on May 23, when he was sworn in as the 31st leader of our nation. “We didn’t have much – but we had each other. And that was enough,” he’s said in the past, while after his convincing electoral victory, he also referenced his childhood during his victory speech. “I want every parent to be able to tell their child no matter where you live or where you come from, in Australia the doors of opportunity are open to us all,” the 59-year-old told a raucous crowd of supporters. By…

So French, so chic! There’s no event quite like the Cannes Film Festival. The celebration rivals the Met Gala to attract the perfect combination of cinema stars and fashion on the iconic red carpet. Whether the celebrities are touching down at Nice’s nearby airport, perusing Cannes’ spectacular promenade, hanging out at the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc or walking the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, they’re bringing it.

TIM ROBBINS Yep, Robbins, 63, was in Top Gun in the relatively small role of Maverick’s RIO (Radio Intercept Officer), Merlin, following Goose’s death. He went on to receive Oscar nominations for Dead Man Walking and Mystic River, winning Best Supporting Actor for the latter in 2004. VAL KILMER A documentary released in 2021 offered an intimate look at 62-year-old Kilmer’s career after playing Iceman and family life, including the 2014 throat cancer diagnosis that resulted in him undergoing a tracheotomy.

With his cheeky smile and bright blue eyes, it’s no surprise that first-time parents Fiona Falkiner and Hayley Willis fell in love with their baby boy Hunter the moment he was born. But their journey to parenthood was anything but easy. Having undergone gruelling rounds of IVF, model and former host of The Biggest Loser Falkiner recently told Woman’s Day magazine that each day was a “mental battle” as she injected hormones, had countless blood tests and endured a roller-coaster of emotions. Thankfully, it was worth it to hold their baby boy for the first time. “He’s just an absolute ray of sunshine,” gushes Falkiner, 38, who welcomed the couple’s son on March 22, 2021. “When I first looked at him, I just didn’t know if I could feel any…

1 Don’t start your presentation with, “I just wanted to jump on.” You’re not “just” doing anything. The subtext behind this commonly used phrase is that you’re downplaying and justifying your reason for being there. What you have to share is valuable and so is your time. Since everyone’s time is valuable, launch straight into it! 2 Make sure you look at the camera lens, not yourself. So many people watch how they look on the screen and you’ll have lost eye contact with the viewer. 3 Create good lighting and camera angles so that you feel you look your best. 4 Address the audience as though you’re talking to one person, not the masses. Make the viewer feel like you’re talking to only them. Lose that common phrase I…

It’s hard to imagine someone like Samara Weaving flying under the radar, but somehow she’s managed to pull it off. The former Home and Away actress, who now lives in Los Angeles, has revealed that she quietly tied the knot with movie producer Jimmy Warden, 31, whom she’s been dating since they met on the set of the Netflix horror-comedy The Babysitter in 2015. That film was one of the roles that helped earn her the “scream queen” moniker – something the 30-year-old laughs about while chatting with WHO regarding her latest movie, rom-com The Valet. In it she plays Olivia Allan, a movie star who enlists a parking valet at a Beverly Hills restaurant to pose as her lover to cover for her relationship with a married man… This…

Polly ‘PJ’ Harding is back. Hallelujah! As one half of the popular KIIS radio duo Jase & PJ, the 31-year-old New Zealander is returning to the airwaves, this time with The PJ Podcast. Harding is back after taking a year off to breathe in the country air with her hubby-to-be, BJ. “After a weird few years globally and some tough times in my life, last year I decided to pack it in and move home to be with my farmer fiancé,” the media darling tells WHO. She stresses that despite loving the country life, she’ll never lose her love of talking – and so the podcast was born. “It turns out sheep and cows don’t provide the banter I’m used to. So I’m back! And ready to overshare in my…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Probably at something my husband Charlie Albone said. Or at a funny animal video with my kids. Laughter is so important! I think sometimes as adults we forget that. Last thing you learned about yourself? That the quote “you’re stronger than you think” is true. From adversity comes resilience, and after my type 1 diabetes diagnosis, and the subsequent 10 insulin injections daily and 24/7 management, I’ve learnt that I’m pretty tough! Last guilty pleasure? I love chocolate – so anything caramel/chocolate-based. I am particularly fond of cookies and ice cream too! But I try to keep the ingredients clean & healthy with limited sugar because of the diabetes. Fortunately, there are lots of great products around now, or I…
