Well, the Met Gala certainly delivered – from striking sartorial looks to big baby reveals with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky announcing they’re expecting their third child together (page 12). The Beckhams, on the other hand, haven’t been the usual happy family of late. David celebrated his 50th birthday with a string of lavish events but his eldest son Brooklyn was a no-show (page 18). We get to know some comedy queens in Hannah Waddingham, taking on Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible after her Ted Lasso fame (page 20), and Tina Fey on her latest, more dramatic role in the Netflix series The Four Seasons (page 26).

who’s news When they went head-tohead in court, Rebekah Vardy came off second-best to Coleen Rooney, but is the WAG about to have a big win this time around? As her husband Jamie, 38, announces he is leaving his Leicester City football team, the pair are reportedly in talks to ink some highly lucrative deals with US soccer clubs and reality TV shows, and it is all thanks to the notoriety the legal scandal brought her. “She was in talks with the makers of Selling Sunset earlier this year. They wanted her to appear as the potential buyer of a luxury home there,” a source told British newspaper The Sun. “That stalled because of the California wildfires in January but could still happen. If it does, the show is a…

who’s news Ground shaking announcements from Donald Trump’s White House have become the norm since his arrival in power, but his latest unexpected plan is predicted to send shock waves through the world of cinema. The American president wants to impose 100 per cent tariffs on foreign-made movies in an attempt to bring filmmaking back to US shores. The move would hit Australia especially hard. Known as “Hollywood Down Under” it’s long been a popular location for foreign film productions, with recent large-scale movies including The Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and Thor: Ragnarok. The Australian government offers generous financial incentives to foreign movie-makers who choose to film in this country but these couldn’t compete with Trump’s tariff plan. “At this stage, it is unclear what…

MET GALA 2025 As the queen of pregnancy reveals – 2023’s Superbowl half-time show, anyone? – it was to be expected that Rihanna would be looking to top previous announcements for her third.

Wearing custom Marc Jacobs, the singer showed off her growing belly – confirming recent rumours that she is expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky. “I’m shockingly feeling…

ABOUT FACE In 2018, DaLuise planned a comeback, opening a new salon named Killer Facials. “As soon as potential clients Google her, it’s going to come up,” a source told Page Six of her past. “She figured she may as well take ownership of it.” Crime There was no-one the Los Angeles A-list trusted more with their precious faces in the early 2010s than Dawn DaLuise, with celebrities regularly breezing through the doors of her West Hollywood salon until an ugly scandal left her reputation in tatters. The esthetician, then 55, was arrested in 2014 after authorities accused her of ordering a hit on a competitor.

The singer was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, in late 2023. “Succumbing to the challenge is not an option,” the 72-year-old told People. “You’re really quickly drawn into a duel.

In her first big interview since that day in May, 2023, Lauren told Spotlight’s Liz Hayes she’d been left with “so many unanswered questions” after police called to break the news Jock, 46, had been found dead in his hotel room. At the time, she was at their new home in Rome with their two young children while he was visiting Melbourne to promote the latest season of MasterChef Australia. “I thought, this is done.

Celebrity As he blew out the candles on his 50th birthday cake on May 2, you’d be forgiven for thinking that David Beckham wouldn’t have much to wish for. For the former footballer, a doting family, a net worth in the hundreds of millions and a bevy of A-list pals to celebrate with would indicate a perfectly content life. But insiders have revealed that David’s milestone celebrations have been tinged with sadness, with his eldest son Brooklyn absent from all events during the month-long festivities. “It’s a terribly sad situation and it has been going on for a long time,” an old friend of the couple told Mail Online of the family feud. “They adore Brooklyn, their children are everything to them, but Brooklyn isn’t talking to them, he isn’t…

Scan to shop or visit marrowz.com.au From international lawyer to boiling pots of bone marrow is not an obvious career trajectory. But COVID changed a lot of things for a lot of people and, in her case, Brooke Jones would say for the better. “I was living in Thailand and travelling all over as a lawyer. When the borders shut, I went home to my parents in Australia,” Brooke, 47, tells WHO, adding she “didn’t have much to do there”. As a result, she started making bone broth for her schnauzer, Ava, who at 13 could no longer eat hard bones. In a happy accident on one such cook-up, the broth solidified into a chew-like sliver. “I thought I’d made something special and I started trying to replicate it,” Brooke…

He may call Los Angeles home now, but comedian Jim Jefferies is still very much an Aussie at heart, which is evident when he lands back in Australia to film The 1% Club. “The first thing I do is buy a standard loaf of white bread and a kilo of prawns and a jar of mayonnaise,” he tells WHO. “I’ll head off to the beach and devour them, because the prawns and bread in America are terrible.” With his cravings satisfied, the entertainer gets “down to business”, with a new season of the hit game show now on screens. Here, Jefferies, 48, gives WHO the lowdown. How was it coming back Down Under to film a brand new season of The 1% Club? I always like coming back to Australia…

You might be familiar with her work on Blue Heelers or, more recently, The Twelve. Perhaps you might know her as the wife of comedian Rove McManus or the author of the 2009 novel Heartless. But first and foremost, Tasma Walton is a proud Boonwurrung woman. And her latest novel, I Am Nannertgarrook, delves deep into her ancestor’s story. “I’d always been told ancestral stories, and I became more and more curious as I got older about what the actual story was and not the romanticised version of it,” Walton tells WHO of her powerful new historical fiction book, which had been “forming in my mind for a long time”. “The more research I did into what those women experienced throughout the 1800s and reading the first-hand accounts of what…

who’s news There was barely space to move as Lady Gaga took to the stage before a record-breaking crowd of 2.5 million in Rio de Janeiro. The jubilant scenes of fans singing and dancing offered no hint of the danger that was narrowly avoided.
