The end of an era has come, with Sarah Jessica Parker announcing the completion of And Just Like That… after three seasons. While the Sex and the City revival certainly divided viewers, there’s no doubt the series and its predecessor have left an indelible mark on television history. We say farewell to the iconic show and its characters on page 18. Justin Timberlake has also said bye, bye, bye to fans, wrapping up his world tour in Turkey on July 30. The singer went out with less of a bang and more of clang, having been slammed in recent weeks for his unenthusiastic and underwhelming performances. However, a day later, he got candid about his recent health battle – we’ve got all the details on page 28. Speaking of battles,…

Just weeks after giving birth to her son, Brax, in June, Abbey Holmes was back on the sideline, after announcing she would be returning to Channel 7’s AFL coverage team on July 25. Her decision to head back to work, for two days a week, caused a stir online, with some labelling her as “selfish” to be leaving her infant at home. But the 34-year-old sports commentator has revealed she doesn’t feel any mum guilt over her choice, which is the right one for her and her family. “I think that if he didn’t take a bottle or was really unsettled and only slept on me, or whatever it might have been, then I certainly would have been hamstrung and certainly not come back seven weeks after having him,” she…

Six weeks after undergoing a mastectomy as part of her breast cancer battle, Jessie J was hospitalised following complications. The 37-year-old was admitted after suffering from pain in her chest when she breathed, with doctors first suspecting a possible blood clot on her lung. However, the singer later confirmed that tests showed she was suffering from an infection and fluid in her lungs. “I discharged myself last night and will continue the investigation as an outpatient,” she explained via social media. A mum to son Sky, 2, who she shares with basketball player Chanan Colman, 41, Jessie admitted that she has moments where she’s “hanging on by a thread”, like when she began to experience her current wave of symptoms. “Two or three days ago, when I woke up, and…

Multiple sclerosis may have severely impacted Christina Applegate’s life, causing intense pain, mental health struggles and career interruptions, but the actress has revealed she’s not the only one suffering. The 53-year-old recently appeared on an episode of Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, in which she spoke candidly about the harsh conversation she had with her 14-year-old daughter, Sadie. “I get up [in the morning] because of [Sadie],” she said. “She’s the reason I’m still here and trying. But she did say to me and we got into a big thing the other day – and sorry, Sadie, but it has to be said – she said, ‘I missed who you were before you got sick.’” Applegate described the comment as “a knife to the heart”, noting that she…

STRUCK GOLD Home and Away’s Lynne McGranger took out the night’s top award, the Gold Logie for Australia’s most popular TV personality. “Thirty-three years I’ve done this amazing show. And I’m thrilled and honoured,” she said of her win. Australia’s favourite on-screen talent dazzled on the red carpet for the 65th annual TV Week Logie Awards on August 3. Despite the gloomy winter weather in Sydney, the stars shone at The Star as they showed off their glamorous looks. From floral sequinned dresses to bold and dramatic gowns, this year’s red carpet certainly had enough fashion to keep everyone talking. Former Gold Logie winner Sonia Kruger was a knockout in a shimmering gown by Alin Le Kal, proving, once again, that the host of The Voice Australia is a red-carpet…

In an episode of her reality show Denise Richards & Her Wild Things that aired in March, Denise Richards made a bold declaration. “I’m never getting divorced again,” she said, perched on a couch next to husband Aaron Phypers. “Even if we hate each other, I’m not gonna f--king get divorced.” Cut to July 7: citing “irreconcilable differences”, Phypers filed for divorce, listing the date of separation as July 4. Things took a more serious turn on July 16, when Richards requested and was granted a temporary restraining order against Phypers, accusing him of domestic violence. “Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack,…

Emma Watson SPEEDING What would Hermione Granger say about this? The Harry Potter star was recently banned from driving for six months after she was caught speeding approximately 13km over the limit in south-east England – having already racked up a number of demerit points. The actress-turned-student was also ordered to pay a $2145 fine, a sum her lawyer Mark Haslam said Watson was “in a position to pay”. He’s not wrong. The 35-year-old actress’ net worth is estimated to be $131 million. In a strange twist of fate, or perhaps wizardry, Watson’s Harry Potter co-star Zoë Wanamaker, who played Madame Hooch, was slapped with a driving ban on the same day in the same court, also for a speeding offence. Watson didn’t appear in court for the July hearing.…

Nearly three years after the brutal deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Ethan Chapin, their killer, Bryan Kohberger, was finally sentenced on July 23 to four consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. It was an outcome reached after he pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty. The sentencing, however, hasn’t brought full closure to the grieving families, who are still grappling with the absence of a motive. The unwavering silence of the 30-year-old criminology student throughout the proceedings has been a source of immense pain and frustration for those left behind. After the judge offered the stony-faced killer an opportunity to give an insight into his motive in court, he answered simply, “I respectfully decline.” During the emotionally charged hearing, the victims’ loved ones had…

Between running around at home and running around at work, there’s not a lot of time to sit still. Everything is urgent, your cortisol is probably high and, if you’re anything like us, you’ve tried every supplement on the market that promises to reduce stress. However, there is one completely free method that celebrities, including Gisele Bündchen and Billie Eilish, swear by to relieve stress: breathwork. Here, performance and wellness coach Rory Warnock shares the benefits of this celeb-loved practice and offers methods to help you take a breath. WHAT IS IT? According to Warnock, breathwork is breathing in a specific way to create a desired outcome. This includes breathing slowly to reduce stress or breathing quickly to increase your heart rate. “Generally speaking, many of us are often in…

If our eyes are the windows to our souls, it’s no wonder accentuating our peepers is one of the oldest beauty rituals to date. Look at the ancient Egyptians, who mixed animal fat, soot, oil and lead –er, safety risk, much? –to enhance their gaze. Thankfully, mascara has come a long way since then, with the last decade alone seeing the rise of fluttering extensions, bold lashes and even clumpy-style looks. The latest lash trends, however, appear to be on the subtler side. Here, we unpack the four minimalist ways our beauty muses are doing their lashes – and how you can recreate them. SEEING GHOSTS While the ghost lash trend might seem a little spooky to mascara devotees, when done properly, it offers a full lash without the risk…

After tackling Vogue icon Anna Wintour in her bestselling 2022 biography, Amy Odell is now turning her attention to uncovering the secrets of Hollywood star and business mogul Gwyneth Paltrow. What drew you to Gwyneth as a subject? Love her or hate her, Gwyneth has been a cultural influencer for three decades now. Countless glossy profiles have been written about her, but through deep research over the course of three years – including interviews with more than 220 sources – I learned that those barely scratched the surface of who she really is. I spoke to friends, colleagues, Goop staff, many people who worked on her films and more, and what I’ve written is a rigorously reported biography that aims to pull back the curtain on a fascinating and polarising…

While Patrick Brammall might have skipped this year’s TV Week Logie Awards, where he was nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy, he definitely had a good excuse. Just days later, the Aussie star was seen for the first time filming scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2. He joined love interest and leading lady Anne Hathaway on set in Brooklyn on August 5, with the pair filming what looked to be a date night scene. Coming out of a restaurant arm in arm, they then danced in the street as Brammall gave Hathaway a twirl. In the original 2006 movie, Adrian Grenier played Nate, the boyfriend of Hathaway’s Andy. Their relationship ran into trouble when another Aussie, Simon Baker, entered the scene as the dashing but scheming writer…

After photographs emerged of her looking visibly distressed while out walking in Malibu in July, Paris Jackson has revealed she was shedding “break-up tears”, confirming her relationship with music producer Justin Long is over. The only daughter of the late singer Michael Jackson had been dating Long for about three years. Jackson, 27, and Long announced their engagement in December last year. “Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind and I couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with,” Jackson shared on social media at the time. “Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.” Wedding plans were well underway, with the singer, who is currently touring as a support act for rock band Incubus, confirming to Access…

Calvin Harris is officially a father, after he and wife Vick Hope welcomed a baby boy last month. And now, the 41-year-old has given fans a glimpse of his little guy, who they’ve named Micah, on social media. In one photo, Harris cradles his tiny bub in his arms in the sunshine. In another, he shows himself and Hope meeting Micah after a water birth at home. Alongside the carousel of photos, Harris paid tribute to his wife and their baby boy. “Micah is here!” he wrote. “My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.” Hope, a British television presenter and radio host, married the Scottish DJ and producer at an estate in England…

Joely Richardson, the sister of the late Natasha Richardson, has given her approval to her former brother-in-law’s potential new romance. The actress, 60 – whose sister passed away in a tragic skiing incident in 2009 while on holiday with husband Liam Neeson and their children – commented on a photo of the actor, 73, and his rumoured new partner, Pamela Anderson. Anderson, 58, had posted a series of playful pictures to her Instagram of her and Neeson goofing around while promoting their upcoming movie, The Naked Gun – with the comments section showing an outpouring of love for the two. But it was Richardson’s string of red heart emojis that proved she is more than supportive of her former brother-in-law moving on. While neither Neeson nor Anderson have confirmed a…

Love is certainly in the air for Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, with talk that the pair could be ready to take the next step in their romance. The model, 30, and actor, 50, have been an item since October 2023, and as they approach their second anniversary, it’s believed the Maestro star is preparing to go down on bended knee. An insider told Page Six that Cooper is “considering marriage and kids with Gigi”, following reports that Hadid, a mother to 4-year-old daughter Khai, treats Cooper’s own girl, Lea, 8, as if she was her own. “He might pop the question in the next couple of months,” the insider explained, adding that the plan is to grow their modern family, too. “They could picture a blended family with their…

DIANA’S FOOTSTEPS Harry continues to support his mother’s humanitarian work in Angola. Since 1997, The HALO Trust has cleared more than 120,000 landmines. Having made the tentative first steps towards reconciliation with King Charles, Prince Harry has been quick to associate himself with another member of his family. Tracing his late mother’s steps on July 16, the Duke of Sussex re-enacted the moment Princess Diana walked through a field of landmines in Angola in 1997. “Children should never have to live in fear of playing outside or walking to school,” the 40-year-old prince said. “Here in Angola, over three decades later, the remnants of war still threaten lives every day.” The short trip to Africa without his wife, Meghan, had a clear double meaning. While Harry is so desperate to…

Laura Campbell has suffered with arthritis since she was 16. It flares up in times of stress and was a source of pain after she had her two kids, Elodie and Lincoln, with her back, knuckles and toes swelling up painfully. “It made it painful to carry both kids,” she tells WHO. “Then I’d be having the mum guilt when I had to keep putting them down. I tried baby carriers, but snapping the straps in was hard with sore knuckles and I’d get anxious, which transferred to the baby.” It came to a head after Laura had Lincoln in 2021. Looking for alternative ways to carry him, she found a hip seat on Amazon. “It was ugly and brown, but it did the job,” she says, explaining how it…

Within the world of gyms, group sports and fitness culture, those living with a disability often find themselves running a race on uneven ground. While important strides have been made – from NDIS funding to expanded services – many Australians continue to face very real psychological, physical and social barriers when it comes to integrated physical activity. As a community particularly vulnerable to social isolation and mental health issues, inclusive movement isn’t just exercise for people with disabilities – it’s a matter of dignity, connection and equal opportunity. In recognition of its societal importance, we asked Paralympian Reece Langdon and Dr Kuljit Singh, the national chair of The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners’ Specific Interests group for social prescribing, how movement, community and a mindset shift can reshape what…

If there’s something that can unite us all, it’s the universal battle against common complexion challenges. Because unless you’ve hit the genetic jackpot, dryness, oiliness and puffiness are struggles most of us face at some point. Combating these issues can often feel like a chaotic mix of trial and error, with hours spent doomscrolling TikTok or layering a cocktail of aesthetic serums that never seem to work. And this is exactly why you need to cut out the middleman and go straight to the experts. WHO sat down with dermatologist Dr Leona Yip to do exactly that. RED HOT Outside of exercise, flirting or being outside on a cold day, dealing with facial redness can be frustrating, but according to Dr Yip, there are ways you can protect your skin’s…

MOVIE THE LIFE OF CHUCK The world is ending – America’s west coast has fallen into the Pacific, volcanoes are uncontrollably erupting in Germany, suicide rates are soaring and the globe’s internet is down. In the midst of all the chaos, one ordinary man’s face keeps appearing on billboards in major cities captioned with notes of gratitude. Written by Stephen King, the story pivots from his usual terrifying tales and takes a more positive, life-affirming route as it depicts the life of Charles “Chuck” Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) in three poignant parts. (In cinemas Thu., Aug. 14) MORE INSIDE! TEAM BELLY FOR THE WIN The stars and author of The Summer I Turned Pretty take sides.

Tuesday is the new Friday – or at least it was on August 5 when local celebrities headed to Bondi Junction to rub shoulders with Hollywood stars Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis during a night at the movies. The two leading ladies dropped into Sydney for the premiere of Freakier Friday. The comedy film sees Curtis, 66, and Lohan, 39, reunite more than two decades after teaming up as a mother-daughter duo who switch bodies in 2003’s Freaky Friday. “I’m just so happy to be back here,” Lohan told the audience. “It’s my second time back here with Jamie now.” It was also a chance for Lohan to catch up with Tyra Banks, who now calls Down Under home. The supermodel, 51, starred as a doll brought to life…

After ditching Hollywood for a new life in Utah, Ty Burrell has revealed he has “no regrets”. The actor made the move to the country at the end of his 11-year stint playing goofy Phil Dunphy on Modern Family. When the show wrapped in 2020, Burrell moved to Salt Lake City with his wife, Holly, and their two adopted teenage daughters, Frances and Greta. “It’s just been spectacular,” the 57-year-old told People magazine. “It’s been lovely and a great place to raise the kids.” However, moving to the mountainous region did take some adjusting to for the family. “So at first, when we moved here, it almost felt like cosplay, like we were pretending to be people who were outdoorsy, and now we really truly love it,” he said. Burrell…

In 2025, there’s no better way to hard-launch your relationship than by posting a selfie with your significant other on social media. And that’s exactly what Louis Tomlinson and Zara McDermott did this month when the reality star shared a gorgeous image of her and the One Direction heart-throb kissing, along with a love heart emoji. It’s the first time Tomlinson, 33, and McDermott, 28, have publicly acknowledged their six-month romance. However, they have commented on one another’s accounts in the past. They’ve also been spotted together at various events, including Glastonbury and a Stereophonics concert.…

Beloved actress Loni Anderson, who played receptionist Jennifer Marlowe in hit TV comedy WKRP in Cincinnati, passed away on August 3. The star was just two days shy of her 80th birthday. “We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother,” Anderson’s family said in a statement. The two-time Emmy nominee died in a Los Angeles hospital surrounded by her loved ones, after battling an “acute prolonged illness”, according to a representative for the family. She is survived by her two children, Quinton Reynolds, 36, who she adopted with ex-husband Burt Reynolds, and Deidra Hoffman, 46, who she had with her first husband, Bruce Hasselberg. In a career spanning four decades, Anderson starred in many other adored TV shows and films, such as The Love…

Performing at the Electric Castle festival in Romania on July 17 as part of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, Justin Timberlake, hidden behind sunglasses and the hood of his rain jacket, gestured to the crowd to sing his hit ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’ while he unenthusiastically paced the stage, only interjecting with the occasional lyric to prompt the audience. “Say what?” he told the crowd. “Sing, c’mon!” Fan-captured clips of the show went viral. “Where is the audience performing next?” one commenter joked, while another quipped, “This performance literally could have been an email!” On July 31, Timberlake, who was just 14 years old when he became a member of boy band *NSYNC, released a statement to mark the end of the two-year tour, which had wrapped up a day…

The plot was clever and original – and the end result was magic. To this day, 40 years on, Back to the Future remains one of the most beloved teen movies of all time. Set in 1985, it follows Marty McFly, who’s sent back to 1955 via a time-travelling DeLorean car built by his eccentric friend Emmett “Doc” Brown. Marty’s entire existence is thrown into danger when he inadvertently prevents his teenage mum and dad from falling in love. So, posing as one of their high-school classmates, he tries to bring his parents together and get back to his future. However, Michael J. Fox wasn’t originally going to play the character, despite being director Robert Zemeckis’ first choice. Eric Stoltz had been in the role for six weeks but was…

Allie Pepper is on top of the world – literally. The Australian mountaineer has spent the past two years summiting 8000-metre peaks across the globe, creating a raft of records and making history for both women and this country. “To think I’m Australia’s most accomplished female mountaineer and one of the most accomplished mountaineers, male or female, is something I only dreamt of and still can’t comprehend,” the 50-year old from Canberra tells WHO. What makes it all the more extraordinary is that a few years ago, she thought she would have to give up climbing altogether. Allie only discovered climbing at age 23 after completing an outdoor recreation TAFE course. There was no looking back and, discovering a natural talent and passion, she became an adventure guide climbing all…

TIME TO RESET Crying out for some me time? A session at Seléne Spa might be just what you need.

Of course, these traditional offerings are beautifully complemented by more modern options. Infrared saunas (aka wellness pods) and HydraFacials will leave you glowing – better clear that calendar. selenespa.com.au COMPILED BY: MADISON BOGISCH…

If we say “boho”, you’re likely to think of loud flared pants and flower crowns, but the wave of bohemian fashion we’re seeing among the style set is far from the music festival-coded dressing we’re used to. Bohemian dressing today has some of the subtleties of the scholarly chic and quiet luxury trends – becoming more about fun, contrasting textures to help create a visually appealing, ethereal look. STAYING GROUNDED Tip Keep your palette earthy. Terracotta, oat, olive, bone and rust are your best friends here. Add a pop of turquoise or deep indigo if you want a little flair without going full festival. ESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES Tip Layered gold chains, a leather belt and a vintage scarf are in. Sadly, a fringe bag, flower crown or multiple bangles per arm…

NATURAL CHARM Contrary to what you might think, a first date doesn’t necessarily require a heavy makeup look. In fact, it’s often better to let your natural features shine and help filter out anyone unworthy of a second date. Start with a subtle highlighter to catch the light and finish with a soft lip shade that adds a natural pop of colour without the risk of red-staining your teeth. There are enough high stakes already. Good luck! SUN-KISSED SHINE Arguably, a beach date is the hardest to plan your makeup for. There’s sand, wind and polyester swimwear riding up in places it has no business in. That said, there are several beauty products that can help you navigate both the forecast and your flirting. A naturally tinted sunscreen will keep…
