Navigating a split in the public eye is no easy feat. But Aussie actresses Nicole Kidman and Isla Fisher are doing it with grace. Despite the latter’s ex being spotted getting cosy with a much-younger woman, Fisher has recently revealed she’s not ready to date just yet but is determined to make the most of her new chapter in life (page 10). Meanwhile, Kidman is keeping busy after estranged husband Keith Urban’s “midlife crisis” is said to have ultimately led to their shock split in September (page 16). There are plenty of other pitfalls of fame, as Ariana Grande found out recently when she was accosted by a fan at a premiere of the new Wicked sequel. Thankfully, there was no physical harm done, but the incident would no doubt…

It’s been five months since former A-list couple Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen finalised their divorce, after originally filing legal paperwork in 2023. Now, in a new interview with New Beauty, the Aussie actress, 49, is opening up about navigating life after divorce, while her ex-husband, 54, has seemingly moved on with a new woman half his age. Baron Cohen was photographed on November 14 outside a Hollywood club with 26-year-old influencer Kelsey Calemine. “They were both very flirty and didn’t stop laughing,” a source told The Sun. “He then walked over to her Uber when it came and gave her his phone, which had a pink case, and she typed her number into it.” In September, the actor was also seen sharing a meal with OnlyFans model Hannah…

Dawson’s Creek devotees will soon be able to bid on exclusive items from the hit teen drama. James Van Der Beek, who’s currently battling colon cancer, is selling memorabilia from his time as the series’ leading man and other roles to help cover the cost of his medical treatment. From the necklace his character, Dawson, gave Katie Holmes’ Joey for prom to the cleats he wore in Varsity Blues, a plethora of items will be up for grabs when Propstore auctions them from December 5. “I’ve been storing these treasures for years, waiting for the right time to do something with them, and with all of the recent unexpected twists and turns life has presented recently, it’s clear that the time is now,” Van Der Beek, 48, told People. The…

PAST TRAUMA Fans were concerned about Grande as she’s previously spoken up about how she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder in the wake of the terror attack at her 2017 concert in Manchester, UK, that killed 22 people. When Ariana Grande attended the Singapore premiere of Wicked: For Good on November 13, thousands of starry-eyed fans were hoping for a glimpse of the pop singer and actress as she walked the yellow brick road-style carpet. One person, however, chose to go much further. A man was filmed jumping over the barricade at Universal Studios and rushing toward Grande, 32, before wrapping his arms around the singer. Security, as well as her co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Michelle Yeoh, quickly intervened by pulling him off her, creating a moment that went viral.…

HIS BIG YEAR THE RUNNING MAN “I don’t think we have to look too far away from being in a dystopian society,” Domingo told Empire of his role in the remake. DEAD MAN’S WIRE “I went and shot that in a weekend,” Domingo told L’Officiel of his role in the gripping real-life tale. “I’m insane.” THE FOUR SEASONS Domingo was nominated for an Emmy for his role in Season 1 of the Netflix comedy series co-created by and co-starring Tina Fey. ‘TEARS’ “I thought, ‘Oh, this is fun. It makes me feel like Rocky Horror,’” Domingo told GQ of starring in Sabrina Carpenter’s music video. EUPHORIA “We have such deep talks,” Domingo told GQ of working with co-star Zendaya. “We’re talking about loss, friendship, style.” After clocking more than three…

SUKI WATERHOUSE & ROBERT PATTINSON Pattinson, 39, and Waterhouse, 33, are happy to keep the details surrounding their daughter close to their chests, only announcing her gender about a month after her birth in early 2024. By July that year, the actress and their baby girl appeared on the cover of British Vogue, but she still kept mum on the name. What she did confess, though, was how she called her own mother “in floods of tears” the moment she found out she was carrying a girl. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God, am I going to have to go through what [you] went through with me?’ I was just such a little b--ch,” Waterhouse recalled. “[My mum] usually loves telling my terrible teenage stories, but she was like, ‘No,…

Two years after she was released from prison, Allison Mack’s life is far removed from her celebrity heyday before she got involved with an infamous cult. Today, she is studying for a master’s degree in social work and leads a fairly quiet existence with her husband, Frank Meeink. She is also ready to take accountability for her actions as she speaks for the first time to a seven-part CBC podcast series called Allison after NXIVM. “I don’t see myself as innocent,” Mack, 43, admitted. “I think that I capitalised on the things I had – and so the success I had as an actor, I think I did capitalise on that.” After a few early acting jobs, Mack really burst onto the scene in 2001 with a starring role on…

You may have heard the expression: “You’re not ugly, you just have cortisol face.” If, however, this sentiment doesn’t ring any bells, congratulations – either you’re not on TikTok or you haven’t yet curated an algorithm that serves unsolicited medical advice. For the uninitiated, let us explain. While the term “cortisol face” isn’t one officially recognised by medical professionals, TikTok users have coined the expression to describe what they believe is the link between chronic stress and a puffy or swollen-looking face. But, like everything you see online, just because an influencer claims something to be true, that doesn’t mean it is. Shock, horror! According to GP specialist Dr Karen Spielman, spokesperson for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, facial puffiness can sometimes signal an underlying health issue –…

The 2025 ARIA Awards red carpet proved to be the place for date night on November 19. Stepping out at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, swimming power couple Cody Simpson and Emma McKeon posed together proudly, while Selling Sunset alum Chrishell Stause arrived on the arm of her Aussie musician spouse, G Flip. Peking Duk’s Adam Hyde – who releases solo music under the name Keli Holiday – and reality TV star-turned-podcast host Abbie Chatfield also cosied up on the red carpet, but it was their sweet display inside the venue that had fans swooning. Accepting the Best Video award for his viral hit, ‘Dancing2’, Hyde paid tribute to his lady love. “I really want to thank Abbie, my beautiful Abbie, because without her, this song would not exist at all,” he…

With her amazing talent and model good looks, Mary Fowler appears to have it all. But now, the soccer star is opening up about the worst moments of her life in her new memoir. In Bloom: Creating a Life I Love, the 22-year-old athlete shares the details of a secret mental health battle, which had her contemplating self-harm. Her struggles started at 17 when she left home in Australia and moved to France to play for Montpellier. She found herself feeling very isolated because she didn’t speak the local language. “The motivation was to divert my emotional pain,” Fowler wrote. “Looking back on it now, it’s bizarre that I thought physically harming myself would feel better than dealing with my emotions, but I was young and didn’t know how to…

Despite whispers of marriage woes between Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer, a source in the know has told People magazine that the pair aren’t giving up on their seven-year marriage just yet. “They’re privately working through normal issues that couples in long-term marriages have,” the insider told the publication. “They are both committed to the relationship.” There has been a lot of change for Schumer, 44, and Fischer, 45, in 2025. Not only has the mother-of-one dramatically slimmed down after embarking on a medically supported weight loss journey, but she and her chef husband have listed their homes in Brooklyn and New Orleans for sale. This has led to speculation surrounding their relationship status, with the Daily Mail reporting that the pair, who married in 2018 and share 6-year-old son…

LOVE & WAR On November 6, Close hit back at the wave of harsh criticism of All’s Fair by using a Fatal Attraction reference, sharing a hand-drawn sketch of herself and her co-stars surrounding a pot labelled “critic-bunny stew”. Even with a star-stacked cast that also includes Naomi Watts, Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash-Betts and Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson says it was pretty clear Glenn Close was the ultimate alpha while shooting Ryan Murphy’s buzzed-about legal drama, All’s Fair. “I’m pretty confident everyone will say we were all a little in awe that we were getting to watch and work with her,” Paulson told People magazine in October. “She was so kind and generous to everyone.” Nash-Betts came away with a more unexpected impression. “Glenn Close – she’s, first of all,…

While marking the 50th anniversary of the dismissal of Gough Whitlam as prime minister on November 11, Anthony Albanese admitted he thought that an Australian republic is “common sense”. “The problem is our constitution is very difficult to change and there have been attempts on two occasions to have that change enshrined in our constitution,” the current PM told ABC Radio. Since the First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay in 1788 to form a penal colony at the request of the British government, taking authority away from the land’s Indigenous peoples, it is fair to say we’ve had our ups and downs with the monarchy. Indeed, Australia’s relationship status on Facebook would definitely read: “It’s complicated.” When Queen Victoria’s son Prince Alfred carried out the first royal tour here in…

The battle to keep an unwell child hydrated is a very real predicament for parents – and so is getting them to guzzle essential electrolytes from big-name brands. Kids are notoriously fussy, and with the rise in food allergies, options are limited. Enter Newcastle mums Danielle Campbell and Anna Wendtman. With five children between them, they know what it’s like to go to war with mineral-deficient kids in their time of need, which is why they created Kidhy, an electrolyte brand scientifically formulated for little ones – with both their tastes and needs in mind. “Kidhy started when our kids refused every single electrolyte drink we offered during back-to-back rounds of gastro,” Danielle, who met Anna working in mining in remote Queensland, tells WHO. “So we did what any sleep-deprived,…

COMPILED BY: MADISON BOGISCH Broke Media founder Emma Edwards admits that hiring a stylist isn’t a luxury accessible to everyone. However, the author, speaker and podcast host explains that, in doing so, she learnt invaluable lessons on how to style and shop for herself. In her latest book, The Wardrobe Project: A Year of Buying Less and Liking Yourself More, Edwards details the shopping tips she now swears by, and that you should, too. AUDIT YOUR CLOSET Personal shoppers don’t just help you buy shiny new things. They’re buying from a place of being informed about what you wear, what you like and what your wardrobe will benefit from, so make it a habit to audit your wardrobe before going shopping – or do your own Wardrobe Project to get…

COMPILED BY: ELAINE OBRAN When it comes to anti-ageing skincare, we believe there is a certain duty of care to acknowledge the natural process of ageing. Every line, wrinkle and crease tells a story – a road map of laughter, expression and a life fully lived.

A thoughtfully curated regimen, grounded in scientific innovation, can help you feel confident, radiant and unapologetically yourself – no matter your age. With this in mind, we have hand-picked a list of our favourite anti-ageing brands, products that acknowledge ageing as inevitable, yet find a way to make gravity feel just a little kinder. Enjoy!

After more than four decades of making some of the biggest blockbusters to come out of Hollywood, it’s hard to believe Tom Cruise has never won an Academy Award, despite being nominated four times. But at the 16th Governors Awards on November 16, the actor’s dry spell finally came to an end as he received an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement. “This may be his first Oscar, but from what I have seen and experienced, it will not be his last,” Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu said while presenting Cruise with the golden statuette. A lengthy standing ovation from celebrities in attendance, including Emma Stone, Emily Blunt and Hugh Jackman, followed the announcement. “Making films is not what I do, it is who I am,” Cruise, 63, said. Dolly Parton…

Move over, MasterChef Australia – Andy Allen has bigger fish to fry. The foodie and his wife, Alex Davey, 33, have announced they are expecting their first child. “We’ve been cooking up something pretty special,” the 37-year-old food critic captioned some shots on Instagram of him placing his hand on his wife’s bump. “Welcoming a little duckling in April!” The happy news comes three years after the Three Blue Ducks restaurant group co-owner tied the knot during an intimate ceremony at Terrara House in New South Wales’ Shoalhaven region. Celebrity friends from the MasterChef world rushed to congratulate the pair. “This is amazing news. Congrats you guys!” fellow judge Poh Ling Yeow said, while celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay commented, “Congratulations,” along with a red love heart emoji.…

Following the arrival of Cardi B’s new baby son on November 15, her ex Offset seemingly made startling claims in a now-deleted post. A screenshot of the former Migos member’s Instagram Stories that was circulated online featured a comment suggesting Cardi’s child with beau Stefon Diggs was “my kid lol”. Cardi, 33, insisted there was nothing funny about Offset’s remark, more than a year after she filed for divorce from the dad-of-six, also 33, following almost seven years of marriage. She also alluded to his behaviour being even more sinister post-split. “It’s been over a year and I’m still being harassed and threatened to the point that I feel like my life is in danger,” she said. “It’s all fun and games until it’s too late.” Offset has denied making…

Paris Jackson has detailed the toll her drug addiction has taken on her life. The daughter of the late Michael Jackson urged her followers to stay away from illicit substances, after showing fans her perforated septum – the result of her battle with heroin and alcohol. “I have a really loud whistle when I breathe through my nose,” Jackson explained, before showing the distinct hole in the centre wall of her nose. “I have what is called a perforated septum, slightly different from a deviated septum and that is from what you think it’s from.” While the sound, sensation and look of the perforation is hard to live with, the 27-year-old refuses to undergo surgery to repair it because she’d need a course of prescription medication during recovery. “I don’t…

Following the engagement that rocked the internet back in August, it’s only fitting that pop royalty Taylor Swift should have a bridal party fit for a queen. The 35-year-old has reportedly been actively recruiting her best girlfriends to help her walk down the aisle on her big day, forming her very own “bridal squad” – a decade after she began to piece her star-studded “squad” together. The singer was spotted out at dinner in New York City on multiple occasions recently – each time with a different pal – sparking speculation that she’s using the nights out to ask her besties to be there on her big day. “Taylor wants to start the wedding process this way – building her bridesmaid group and getting everyone involved in the preparations, celebrations…

She might be the daughter of a Hollywood actor and married to a global superstar, but Hailey Bieber has carved out an identity of her own. It’s arguable she’s even eclipsed her husband, Justin, and father, Stephen Baldwin, with her success. A fashion muse, beauty influencer and businesswoman, the 29-year-old has used social media to popularise trends like the clean girl aesthetic, glazed donut nails and glass skin – to name just a few. In the process, she’s shown off her It girl friendship circle with the likes of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, and built cosmetics empire Rhode, which she sold in 2025 for $1.5 billion. “It’s definitely a beautiful tool,” Hailey told GQ of Instagram in a recent interview, adding that while social media can be challenging at…

GOTTA HAVE FAITH “I had a girl tell me she played soccer but was embarrassed about what others would think of her wearing the hijab,” Rahimi says. “I told her no-one’s there to hate on her. I actually used to cry before going into the ring because of what I imagined others would think about how I looked – but I embrace it now.” W omen are finally having their time in the sun – or should we say pitch, field or ring. From the booming AFLW to our beloved Matildas, female athletes are slowly getting the attention and recognition they deserve. Take, for example, Aussie boxer Tina Rahimi. Raised by her father, Michael, a former champion wrestler, the 29-year-old was perhaps destined to be an athlete – but, she…

IS A WELLNESS HOLIDAY WORTH IT? While we’ve long been sold the transformative benefits of a wellness holiday, it turns out a 15-minute walk might be more beneficial. According to research by ASICS, participants who took a simple 15-minute movement break daily reported a 21 per cent greater uplift in their overall mental state compared to their wellness holiday. Surveying people who recently took a wellness holiday, 71 per cent said the trip failed to live up to the hype, while 81 per cent reported that the wellness benefits faded as soon as or shortly after they returned home. Time to strap on those walking shoes. COMPILED BY: MADISON BOGISCH GIVING BODY Body oils that take self-care to a new level LIFESTYLE TEAM LOVES WATER IT DOWN Think you’re not…

When it comes to sources of fashion inspiration, it’s no surprise we turn our gaze toward Paris – Europe’s most effortlessly chic sartorial force.

Floaty, floral, silky and silhouetted dresses that move with the body – the epitome of grace and freedom. Here, summer’s hottest frocks are calling us to lean into softness rather than resist it. Paris has planted the seed and all that’s…
