If there’s one thing that leaves me feeling a little down in the dumps, it’s the ending of a Hollywood fairytale – and this week, the rollercoaster ride that is J.Lo and Ben Affleck’s marriage has me letting out a pained sigh. So is it over? Turn to page 14 to get up to speed and hear what Jen has to say about the issue of trust. Hers isn’t the only marriage making waves in this issue. Over on page 34, Sophie Turner talks candidly about the toll her divorce from Joe Jonas took on her, while on page 32 Enrique Iglesias divulges on the more unusual aspects of his partnership with former tennis star Anna Kournikova. Then there’s Kate Hudson, on page 24, who got us all excited as…

NO RING! A mid buzz they are on the brink of a break-up, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted together for the first time in almost 50 days, putting on a united front for a school event on May 16. “Ben did not look happy to see J.Lo as she arrived at a show for one of his kids,” an observer told the Daily Mail of the frosty reunion. “When he saw her get out of her car, they did not hug or kiss.” A day later, Affleck was snapped without his wedding ring. “Nothing would have stopped them coming together for the kids,” a source told blogger Perez Hilton. But the once-loved-up A-listers have seemingly been leading separate lives for months. “They’re not always on the same page,”…

IN HER LANE When Sunday Morning asked how long she’d been writing music, Hudson replied, “Really poorly, my whole life! I guess I wasn’t ready for it until now.” But she’s been priming herself for it since her breakout role in 2000 film Almost Famous. It’s kind of ironic how Kate Hudson’s breakthrough roll was Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe’s 2000 film Almost Famous. Lane was a groupie – or “Band Aid” – but we all know the character was destined to be in the spotlight. For Hudson, becoming a rock star in real life is a full circle moment and for fans, her transition from actress to singer has been a long time coming. “It kind of makes sense,” Hudson recently told CBS’ Sunday Morning, when the interviewer commented…

“I wanted my son to know when he got older that I fought to be here” With her good looks, talent, and loving relationship with comedian John Mulaney, with whom she shares 2-year-old son Malcolm, Olivia Munn appeared to have it all. But for the past year, the actress has been undergoing a series of surgeries and treatments as she secretly battled for her life against an “aggressive” form of cancer. The 43-year-old announced in March that she was diagnosed with Luminal B breast cancer in both breasts in April 2023. “I hope by sharing this it will help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their own journey,” she posted on Instagram. BY HER SIDE “Olivia and I have been through a lot of things together in the past…

ARTSY EYES Think colour, bold lines and smudges. The runway reminds us that eyes can take centre stage in our makeup looks. From orange lids to blue inner eyes, consider this your sign to try a fun shade or experiment with applying thicker eyeliner. Nothing is off limits! POWER POUTS Tip Appy your lip liner while you’re smiling so that lips are taut. Cherry cola and ruby red are the shades on everyone’s lips this season. In the same way the change of weather prompts a wardrobe refresh, do the same with your makeup bag and switch light colours for darker shades across lipsticks and glosses.

What did you think of the script when you read it? I loved it! I mean, I love all these movies, so it was just an honour to read something you are also a fan of and find out what happens. Zhen is a very complex character that has her own problems and her own baggage. It’s always a pleasure to play a multi-dimensional character. Why do you believe audiences all over the world have fallen in love with these movies? First of all, because of Jack Black – his Po is probably one of my favourite characters in film history. I also think that the humour and where the stories go in this franchise are surprising. They all have a unique brand of humour and interesting characters. I remember…

Six months after the unexpected loss of Matthew Perry, questions are still being asked about the beloved TV star’s death, with police confirming there is an ongoing investigation. Perry was found unresponsive in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on October 28. An autopsy found a substantial amount of ketamine in the actor’s blood, which has been ruled as a contributing factor. Los Angeles Police Captain Scot Williams said in an email, that was first reported by TMZ, that police and the Drug Enforcement Agency were probing into why the 54-year-old star had so much ketamine in his system. People close to the star have said he was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy, which is an experimental treatment for anxiety and depression. The medical examiner has found that this…

About 18 months ago, Daniel MacPherson decided to hit the reset button. It was time to get back to his best – “physically, mentally, spiritually and everything in-between”. For the next three months, he did just that, through a variety of disciplines including training, diet and meditation. He emerged as someone more present as a dad, as a partner and as a creative. “As I was moving into my early forties – after navigating the first years of parenting, and the uncertainty of the pandemic years – I was wanting to really get back to getting the best out of myself,” he tells WHO. “[Now] my clarity has soared and with that, so has the quality of my work, my relationships and, ultimately, my happiness.” MacPherson, 44, has just begun…

Snuggled together on the backseat of a motorboat on Italy’s scenic Lake Como, NFL star Travis Kelce, 34, wrapped his arm around his girlfriend Taylor Swift. Ignoring the overcast weather and the patter of rain from above, the singer leaned in, with the pair sharing a smooch while their guide took a photo of them for posterity. The lovebirds took a two-hour trip on the water to have dinner on May 17 during their romantic Italian getaway, which came as Swift, 34, enjoyed a week-long break from her Eras Tour in Europe. “They were very affectionate with each other, always close and hugging,” a source told People. During “four relaxing days of rest”, they were also spotted enjoying a private candlelit dinner outside the luxury 17th century villa where they…

When the most beautiful woman in tennis fell in love with pop music’s biggest flirt, few thought it would last very long. But over two decades later, Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias are still making it work – even if the singer can’t quite keep his lips to himself. The Spanish hunk, 49, has developed quite a reputation over the years for kissing fans at his shows. But, he says, it’s a habit that his former tennis pro love has absolutely no issue with. Kissing fans! “Not at all,” Iglesias said in a new interview with SiriusXM over whether his antics make Kournikova, 42, jealous. “I do that all the time, I love embracing and kissing and just hugging my fans. I like getting close up. I just love to…

Rumer Willis always knew she was destined to be a mum, so when she welcomed her daughter Louetta Isley Thomas Willis into the world via a home birth in April 2023 “everything really clicked into place”. “It was exactly what I thought it would be,” Rumer, the eldest daughter of Hollywood legend Bruce Willis and actress Demi Moore, told People in late March while on set for Cleobella’s “Do It Like a Mother” campaign. It wasn’t plain-sailing though. “My mum had me when she was 25, so I think as 25 started approaching and I had no boyfriend, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ Then 30 hit, and I kept telling everyone, ‘Well, maybe I’ll just do it by myself.’ I could feel like her little spirit around me and…

When it comes to all things beauty, everything from skincare, haircare, makeup and ingestibles are coming under increasing scrutiny by the conscious consumer. Words like clean, organic and natural are printed absolutely everywhere – words which, in the context of the beauty industry, are actually unregulated – so it can be hard to discern what’s good for us, let alone what is good for nature’s creatures. “Cruelty free” is generally defined as any product developed without animal testing. Of course, cruelty free doesn’t necessarily mean it’s vegan, which has its own definition – vegan products are made without any animal-derived ingredients. For those beauty lovers looking to invest in some high quality cruelty-free products that are both good for your hair and animals, here are just a couple of products…

In one picture, the Aquaman star, 44, put his arms around Arjona while dining with friends in a restaurant. In another snap, the couple stood side by side with big smiles on their faces as their hair blew in the wind. He also referred to the Puerto Rican actress, 32, as “mi amor” in the caption, which is Spanish for “my love”. Arjona had roles in 2018’s Pacific Rim Uprising and the 2022 Star Wars series Andor. She will also star alongside Glen Powell in his new Netflix flick, Hit Man. “I’ve been in a…

who’s news The daughter of a woman who was allegedly murdered alongside her married lover in Victoria’s High Country has told a court that the pair shared a “very caring and very loving” relationship. Carol Clay, 73, went missing following a camping trip at a remote site in the Wonnangatta Valley in 2020 with Russell Hill, 74. Her daughter, Emma Davies, revealed she found this out after receiving a phone call from a police officer who said the campsite had been found abandoned and burnt. While authorities were seeking permission to put out a media release about her mother’s disappearance, Davies was initially reluctant to do so due to some “concerns” over their privacy. “I wasn’t sure if I knew at that time she had been away with Russell, but…

ALL THAT GLITTERS At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, there were sequins, glitter and diamonds aplenty. The strict black tie dress code extends to shoes, with the festival’s official website declaring “elegant shoes with or without heels are required”. SELENA SPEAKS Selena Gomez, who plays the wife of a feared drug cartel leader in Emilia Pérez, has described her role as “one of the most challenging things” she’s done. She told the Smartless podcast in January that she “likes to earn” her parts. How does one predict the next blockbuster of the year? At the Cannes Film Festival, it is measured in standing ovations. Yes, the festival has developed a reputation for providing lengthy applause as eager viewers take to their feet after film premieres. The tradition is so important…

There were plenty of dark days for British actress Sophie Turner as her marriage to Joe Jonas imploded in September 2023 but some were worse than others. Speaking for the first time about her split, the 28-year-old has revealed the “mum-shaming” and narrative that she was a party girl who was neglecting her maternal responsibilities “were the worst few days of my life”. “All these articles started coming out,” she explained to British Vogue. “It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother – mum guilt is so real! I just kept having to say to myself, ‘None of this is true. You are a good mum and you’ve never been a partier.’” Sharing her perspective, the actress, explained she was filming…

Women who INSPIRE Since she first developed a need for speed as a teen tearing around a go-karting track, Renee Gracie has been unstoppable. Whether she was blazing a trail as one of Australia’s first female motorsport champions, or making a million-dollar fortune on OnlyFans, she reveals she has faced sexism and exploitation as people have tried to keep her down, both on and off the track. “They can’t beat me,” the 29-year-old tells WHO. “When people try and tell me I can’t do something, or shouldn’t, it just makes me even more determined to win.” In 2013, Renee became the first female to compete in the Australian Porsche Carrera Cup. After two seasons, she moved to Super2, becoming the first full-time female driver in the V8 Supercar category in…

As the price of living continues to take an almighty bite out of our incomes, it’s not just little luxuries that people are doing without. Research shows that an increasing number of Aussies are skipping their regular dental check-ups, and more than half haven’t been to the dentist in more than a year. “Dentists are seen or perceived to be expensive by the public and people have limited access to affordable dental care and limited government funding,” explains Dr May Chan, dentist and co-founder of Dental Boutique. “This results in people avoiding or delaying dental care.” Unfortunately, this can increase your risk of developing tooth and gum diseases that may end up costing more in the long run. Follow these tips to keep your dental bills to a minimum. STAY…

CAREER PIVOT Fraser says she’s not quitting the fashion industry, which she’s been part of for 11 years, but will prioritise acting for now. “I’ll be doing both essentially, but there will be more focus in the film industry for the time being,” she says.

It can take just a few minutes for Amor Towles to map out in his mind the basic plot for what will become his next novel. But what follows that, is months and even years of meticulous planning and outlining – involving plenty of trial and error, until he knows every character, every event, and every chapter before he starts crafting his words. “I get to the point where I can talk you through the entire thing, moment for moment,” he tells WHO from his Manhattan home. “The reason I do all of [that] … is because if all of those decisions are made, when I go in to start writing a chapter, I can use the right side of my brain which is where the subconscious is active, the…
