Have you ever had adream that is so vivid, it remains imprinted in your mind? Iam prone to strange visions in my sleep – especially after indulging in some cheese before bed – but nothing compares to the experience shared by Mark Ruffalo in this week’s issue. The Marvel star tells how a“crazy dream”led to a devastating diagnosis. I won’t ruin the story (turn to page 26 to check it out), but I’m happy to report that Ruffalo is now fighting fit and thankful for all his close call taught him. The revelations in this week’s issue don’t stop there. On page 18, Ryan Gosling chats about how his decision to let his kids on the set of Barbie influenced his iconic portrayal of Ken – and why he won’t…

Popstar-turned-swimmer Cody Simpson was home alone, bursting with pride as he watched his girlfriend Emma McKeon accept her award for Young Australian of the Year on January 25. “Oh, she looks good,” he could be heard saying on a video he took of the TV as she made her way to the podium, recognising the swimmer’s achievements as Australia’s most successful Olympian. “The most special human,” Simpson captioned the clip. “Congratulations my love. So proud of you.” Simpson, 27, and McKeon, 29, first went public with their relationship in June 2022, having kept things secret for over two months. Simpson previously admitted to having had a crush on the athlete for some time before he acted on his feelings. In December, Simpson, who ended his relationships with Miley Cyrus and…

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper have kept their romance low-key since first sparking dating rumours way back in October. But now they are at the stage in their relationship where they are no longer shy about showing a little PDA, holding hands during a walk around London together on January 25. The stylish pair share a love of fashion – Cooper was wearing a $860 Louis Vuitton beanie for their stroll – as well as single parenthood. In Hadid’s latest Instagram photo dump, the supermodel, 28, gave fans a glimpse into her life as mum to daughter Khai, 3, who she shares with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik. “I think that becoming a mum has made me realise that you just really have to start to get your eggs in a row…

She may have had a lot of eyes on her since her incredibly chic wedding to husband Elliot Grainge just nine months ago, however Sofia Richie has managed to keep one thing out of the spotlight recently – her blossoming baby bump! “And then there were three,” the very pregnant model and social media star captioned a snap of herself with Grainge and her bump on display – taken during a photoshoot with Vogue US – on Instagram on January 25. In the accompanying interview, the 25 year old – who is already six months along – candidly opened up about discovering she was pregnant “very, very early”, having been casually trying since their stunning nuptials at the iconic French resort, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, last April. “I was taking one…

OSCARS BUZZ! TIME TO SHINE Although it could just be the film that lands him his first Academy Award, Gosling has admitted he is simply grateful to have been part of it. “I think it’s clear how I feel about [the film],” he shared. “I think it’s really special and beautiful.” His memorable ‘I’m Just Ken’ dancing scene might go down in history as one of Ryan Gosling ’s greatest ever performances, especially thanks to his recent Oscar nomination for the role. But the 43-year-old has revealed that the now-iconic moment in the blockbuster Barbie film wasn’t, in fact, a part of the original movie. “It was sort of like not initially in the script and it sort of evolved as we were working,” he explained. The scene was also,…

It’s been a long journey, but Selena Gomez has finally reached a point of acceptance – and appreciation – with her body. Taking to her Instagram stories on January 22, the star reflected on how her figure has changed over the years by sharing two images of herself in a swimsuit taken 10 years apart. “Today, I realised I will never look like this again,” the 31-year-old captioned the first shot, which showed her looking trim poolside in a zebra-striped ensemble back in 2013. Gomez quickly followed that shot up with a second photograph of herself in black, highwaisted bikini bottoms which was taken last year while she was on holiday in Mexico. Alongside the snap, which showed off her morecurvaceous figure, the star shared a more empowering message with…

GLEN POWELL The students at Westwood High in Austin, Texas, weren’t wrong when they voted Glen Powell as“Most Likely to be aMovie Star”. Getting his start over two decades ago in Spy Kids 3: Game Over, it was the 35-year-old’s role in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick that, as Men’s Health put it,“took his career from asimmering breakout to aboil”. And after starring in the summer rom-com, Anyone but You, it’s no wonder his Hit Man director Richard Linklater recently likened him to leading men George Clooney and Brad Pitt.“The best part about the slow burn of my career is that I’ve been doing this for 20 years and it’s taken me along time to just even get here, which for most people, feels like astarting line,”Powell told Collider. “I hope…

Growing up can be hard, and for many of us it carries memories of being made to feel like we had to live up to a certain body stereotype. Thankfully, the conversation around our bodies is changing for the better in many ways, but there’s also room for us to do much more. Body image activist and filmmaker Taryn Brumfitt has been working for years to help people feel better in their own skin. She has authored several books around body positivity, including the parenting guide Embrace Kids. Brumfitt says we need to recognise that fat is just another part of our bodies. “It’s a three letter word that wields so much power,” she explains. “And we’ve got to take the power from it and help kids acknowledge through our…

There’s no doubt we’ve spent more time at home these past few years than ever before. According to a recent trend report by Temple & Webster, due to the increasing cost of living, eight in 10 Australians intend to increase their time entertaining at home over the coming year. To help turn your home into a hosting haven, we spoke to interior designer Darren Palmer, who talks us through five key interior elements to keep in mind. 1. FUNCTION First things first, think about where you and your guests will be spending the majority of your time and focus on these areas. “If fine dining soirees are your thing then think about how you can expand your dining table to fit more people,” says Palmer. “Extendable tables give you the…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Who are the top five people you spend the most time with? You might be revaluing your friendships this week. Why are you friends with the people you are friends with? Is the connection based on history or is it authentic? You might like to assess the nature of those you keep company with. Ask yourself, are these allies for life or just for now?

MOVIE FORCE OF NATURE: THE DRY 2 Eric Bana may be the star of this sequel to the 2020 box office hit, but the lush Victorian country in which it’s filmed almost steals the show.

What was your last guilty pleasure? I’m obsessed with dessert. I’m a BIG fan of the Fior di Latte ice-cream over at Mapo in Newtown. They do the best artisanal gelato in town, it’s made from organic ingredients. What was the last meal you cooked? I made a dessert called a ‘Strawberry Fool’ recently – that was a total hit at the dinner table. It’s basically macerated strawberries folded into whipped cream. It’s fluffy and delicious and so, so naughty. What are you binge watching? I’m currently halfway through The Curse. It’s an eerie black comedy written by Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie about privilege and virtue. It’s an utterly absurd show, and every episode has me going: “What?! No!” Emma Stone is also giving a star performance – I…

There was plenty of emotion shared on the field following the Kansas City Chiefs’ dominant win against the Baltimore Ravens on January 28, but there was one particularly loved-up interaction that the cameras didn’t want to miss. After the win confirmed the team’s place in this year’s Super Bowl, tight-end Travis Kelce was spotted making his way through the crowd to plant one on girlfriend Taylor Swift. “I love you,” the 34-yearold athlete gushed to the singer, 33. “So much that it’s not funny.” Eyes full of admiration, Swift gave her boyfriend an equally-sweet compliment. “I’ve never been so proud of anyone,” she reportedly replied, pulling him in close. “Ever.” The singer has become a significant fixture at Kelce’s games since late last year, with insiders revealing that she’s loving…

It’s been a rough few years for Celine Dion as she continues her battle with stiff person syndrome. And while the singer, 55, has previously kept her health struggles close to her chest, in anew documentary Dion is giving fans a rare insight into her world with the hope the film will“raise awareness of this littleknown condition”. “This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me, the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me,”Dion said in a statement about IAm: Celine Dion, which has just been acquired by Prime Video in Australia.“As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realised how much I have missed it, of being able to…

During a recent episode of her talk show, Drew Barrymore got candid about how she had been catfished online. “This guy on my dating app said he was the quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams,” she began. “So I wrote to him and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I went to the first practice game …It’s nice to meet you, my name is Drew.’” The star went on to reveal that the man was lying. “He’s a musician that thought he was being cute,” said Barrymore, who shares two daughters Olive, 11, and Frankie, 9, with her ex-husband Will Kopelman. “I was like, ‘I hate you …you pithy, deceiving, playful – you’ve made me feel stupid. I don’t know who you are. I feel so dumb. Why did we…

SO IN LOVE “Oh, he’s so funny, he’s hilarious, yeah …he’s very, very smart. It’s quite incredible watching him do what he does,” Adele told Winfrey in 2021 of sports agent Paul, who she has been referring to as her “husband” at her Las Vegas shows. Adele is entering a new era. As her two-year, $3 million-anight Las Vegas residency comes to an end in June, the 35-yearold is looking to the next phase of her life.  In 2020, the singer revealed a lifestyle overhaul in which she shed 45kg over a two-year period. She has since said her weight loss was a result of relying on exercise to cope with anxiety post-divorce and during the pandemic. “That really contributed towards me getting my mind right,” she told Oprah Winfrey…

OSCARS BUZZ! BITTER BLOW “I was incredibly disappointed that they weren’t nominated,” Ferrera said of Gerwig and Robbie’s Oscar snubs. “Greta has done just about everything that a director could do to deserve it …What Margot achieved as an actress is truly unbelievable.” When it was announced she’d been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Gloria in Barbie, no-one was more shocked than America Ferrera. “There was a moment where I wasn’t sure if I had made it up,” the 39-year-old actress told Variety. “And then my phone started blowing up so I figured that I must have heard it right.” While her big moment was soured somewhat, with her thoughts turning to leading lady Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig (see bubble), no-one deserves…

Long before there were supermodels, real housewives or social media, the women of influence were the “swans”. Babe Paley, Slim Keith, C. Z. Guest, Ann Woodward, Joanne Carson and Lee Radziwill ruled New York when it was the most fashionable place in the world. Beautiful, well-connected, stylish, rich and envied, their close-knit circle gave them protection – until they let down their walls and admitted an outsider. It was a decision they’d regret for the rest of their lives. While the ladies were used to being the talk of the town, it was for all the wrong reasons in 1975 when their secrets were splashed over the pages of a magazine. The brand-new Binge series, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, tells the story of how Truman Capote spectacularly betrayed his…

Steph De Nobile, Lifestyle Writer “This year I’m goingg to spend a little more on investment pieces. Instead of buying fast fashion that will only last a few outfits or be worn for certain occasions, I’m going to invest in timeless pieces thatt I know will last for years to come. I’ll be ditching the temptation to buy bold patterns and opt for classic, long-lasting linens. On my wish list is a good quality bag in a neutral colour that can easily be paired with any outfit, rather than a bright hot-pink clutch!” 100% LINEN SPLURGE! Aimee Bruce, Fashion Editor “My 2024 style goal is to wear what I already have and only buy key missing pieces. Over the summer break I figured out which staples I’m lacking, and so…

SIMPLE SWAP Retinoids are the Barbie of the beauty world. Youthful perfection in spades but somewhat divisive because, while they’re joyful to play with for some, they’re plain irritating to others. “Retinoids and retinols are both derivatives of vitamin A and can lead to redness and dryness, especially when you first begin,” explains dermatologist Dr Cara McDonald. “Those with more sensitive skin types or problem skin prone to dermatitis or rosacea will have particular trouble with retinoids.” If your skin is reactive then behold these fresh alternatives; bakuchiol and rambutan. “Although we don’t have as much science behind these ingredients as retinoids, the emerging evidence suggests that they can be effective anti-ageing ingredients with fewer side effects,” says Dr McDonald. Rambutan Rambutan, a lychee-like fruit, is a gentle new retinol…

Streaming now on Hayu and Binge Lisa Vanderpump’s band of merry philanderers, girl bosses and pot stirrers are back for the 11th season of Vanderpump Rules, and with that comes the aftermath of ‘Scandoval’. With Raquel Leviss out of the picture, Tom Sandoval is forced to face the music as the friends regroup. But there’s so much more to Season 11 than that. Here’s what to expect… ‘SHE BECOMES GOD’ “I’ve never experienced someone who gets cheated on and suddenly she becomes God,” Lala Kent tells the group of her friend Ariana Madix’s instant A-list status after Sandoval did the dirty with Leviss. “I can do anything,” Madix says in the new season trailer. ‘SCUMBAG AND CHEATER’ Sandoval takes some accountability for cheating on Madix with one of her best…

British actor Tom Hollander, 56, says there are ups and downs to having a name so similar to that of mega-star Tom Holland, 27. “It’s been very difficult. Because, you know, I was here first. But he’s enormously famous,” the White Lotus actor said on Late Night with Seth Meyers, describing how children are often disappointed when they think he might be Spider-Man before they lay eyes on him. He went on to recall when he was briefly at the same agency as the Marvel star and the accounts department got them confused. “I got an email from my agency saying, ‘Payment advice slip: your first box-office bonus for The Avengers,’” he said. “And I thought, ‘I don’t think I’m in The Avengers.’ And it was an astonishing amount of…

When Denise Huskins couple returned suddenly after being abducted in the middle of the night, it seemed the worst of her horrific ordeal was behind her. Instead, it was only just getting started. Rather than set out to catch the man who’d broken into the home of her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, and held her for ransom, police called a press conference and admonished the pair for what they called an “orchestrated event”. “Mr Quinn and Ms Huskins have plundered valuable resources away from our community and taken the focus away from the true victims of our community while instilling fear among our community members,” Vallejo Police Department spokesman Lieutenant Kenny Park said. “So, if anything, it is Mr Quinn and Ms Huskins that owe this community an apology.” In the…

Habits are the building blocks of our lives. They shape the way we think, act and respond to the world around us. Whether they’re the morning routine that kickstarts our day or the unconscious decisions we make throughout our waking hours, habits have a profound impact on our lives. What we do habitually makes up much of what we do entirely. In fact, it’s estimated that up to 70 per cent of our waking behaviour is made up of habitual behaviour. We are creatures of habit, and most of the time our action dial is turned towards autopilot. Research shows that habits are the only proven method for achieving long-term success with behavioural goals. So having healthy habits that are aligned with our values and goals can shape our life…

5 WAYS TO WEAR IT 1. NECKERCHIEF Tie small square styles around your neck like a necklace to add interest and style to simple tops like a white shirt or tee. 2. BAG ACCESSORY Want to update your handbag for summer? Tie a scarf around the handle. 3. BELT No belt, no problem! For a softer look, thread a patterned style through the belt loops of your pants or jeans for an entirely new look. 4. TOP If you have a larger square scarf, fold it in half diagonally and wear it as a strapless top, tying it at the middle of your back where your bra would sit. Or for the advanced, try a one-shoulder style. 5. SARONG SKIRT For an extra large, rectangular-shaped scarf, wrap it to one…

A GROWING CHANGE The popularity of hard seltzers as an alternative to beer and wine has been growing in recent years, with the low-alcohol, low calorie canned drink appealing to those who are health conscious but still like to have a bevvy. Gravity Seltzer, which comes in a range of fun flavours including Watermelon and Salty Lemon, Kiwi and Guava, and Ginger and Lime, has notched up its second summer on the market and continues to make its mark in a lasting way. With every pack sold, Gravity plants trees in conjunction with Airseed which uses drones that can plant up to 40,000 trees a day.
