Picking one Oscars look would be tough enough for most people—endless calls with stylists, fittings, hair and makeup crisis talks with glam squads, negotiating the loan of jewels from Harry Winston and Lorraine Schwartz. But for some stars, one gown just isn’t enough. After Feb. 26’s controversial Academy Awards ceremony, lots of stars had a total change of look before hitting the exclusive parties—and some arguably hit the jackpot with their second-round picks. Scarlett Johansson’s panned Alaïa red-carpet gown (see from p. 24) was replaced with a fashion-forward winner, Hailee Steinfeld ditched her fussier Ralph & Russo princess dress for a sleek column and Jessica Biel decided to flash some flesh. So should you always trust your first instinct? Maybe not so much with awards season style. You be the…

WHILE FALLING short of a verbal confirmation of her pregnancy with boyfriend Liam Payne, 23, singer Cheryl (who has dropped her last name) has let her bump speak for itself. Now she has posed cradling it, in a photo shoot for L’Oréal Paris and the Prince’s Trust with other charity ambassadors. The singer, 33, who also launched Cheryl’s Trust, announced on Feb. 23 she had found a venue for a Prince’s Trust centre in her home town of Newcastle upon Tyne. Cheryl first met her man, pre–One Direction, in 2008 when he was a 14-year-old boy auditioning for The X Factor UK. They began dating in early 2016 and only his bandmate Niall Horan commented on the baby speculation in January:“Liam hasn’t said he’s nervous but I’m sure he is,”…

WITH PERSISTENT rumours of a romance between former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the former model conceded she communicates more with the exiled journalist than the other men in her life. “I’ve spent more time talking to Julian than to all of my ex-husbands combined,” Anderson, 49, told Australian radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O. Pressed for more details, Anderson—she has visited Assange, 45, several times at London’s Ecuadorian Embassy where he has been holed up for the past four years—neither confirmed nor denied a romance, saying obliquely:“It was never the intention to become romantic, it was just to join forces to do something important.”…

BRENDA LIN HAS BROKEN HER SILENCE OVER the abuse she suffered at the hands of the man who slaughtered her family. Brenda was 15 and on an overseas school trip when her uncle Robert Xie bludgeoned her parents, Norman, 45, and Lily, 43, her two brothers, Henry, 12, and Terry, 9, and her aunt Irene, 39, to death as they slept at their Sydney home in 2009. On Jan. 12, after four trials, Xie, 52, was found guilty of the murders. With her uncle sentenced to five life sentences, Brenda has now revealed her torment. At Xie’s trial, the prosecution claimed his motives included his sexual obsession with his niece. Brenda told the court her uncle sexually assaulted her on a number of occasions when she moved in with his…

A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER his separation, Gavin Rossdale is finally moving on.“We’ve been through that, and this is a new day,” says the Bush frontman and The Voice UK mentor, 51. No point focusing on regrets, he says:“It’s just the way that it goes sometimes. But I think that 20 years together and three amazing children is quite incredible in and of itself. That’s being an optimist about it.” Today, he and his ex“both just want the kids to be as safe and as happy as possible, so that’s the only focus we have.” Still, sons Kingston, 10, Zuma, 8, and Apollo, 3, declined to sing on his new record.“They’re already out of my league!” he jokes.…

Mell Claydon (left), a conveyancer, and best mate Cyn Cuoco, who with her husband runs the law firm at which Mell works, were dubbed the Real Housewives of MKR by fellow contestant Caitie. But Mell stunned the others in Group Three when she came out against strategic scoring and said,“At the end of the day, we’re not friends.”Then she added, “I know you think I’m a bitch, but that’s the game.” Now, Mell, 40, a mother of one, and Cyn, 42, who has two kids, say they have since become good friends with their cooking competitors, with Mell even spending New Year’s Eve with Brett and Marie. “When you don’t know someone, you have your guard up,”Mell explains. But both say their food critiques are honest and fair. “What came…

WHY IS SLEEP SO IMPORTANT? Sleep affects everything and plays a vital role in good health and wellbeing all your life. Good-quality sleep every night can help protect your mental and physical health. Between seven and nine hours each night is recommended. WHAT’S AN IDEAL SLEEPING ENVIRONMENT? 1 Make the room as dark as possible with blockout curtains or by wearing an eye mask. 2 No devices (including TV) in the bedroom and stop using them an hour before bedtime. Save your bedroom for sleep and lovemaking only. 3 Eat early and be mindful of what you eat. Avoid big, heavy meals and alcohol, which may cause heartburn, making it harder to sleep. Avoid sugar, tea, coffee and chocolate after 2 PM. Caffeine can stay in your system for five…

LAST TIME I LAUGHED HYSTERICALLY I can’t say watching my new film, A Few Less Men, can I? My trick is if the crew are laughing, then you’re onto a good thing because they are normally sick of actors. LAST WEDDING I WENT TO Friends of mine got married in middle America and it was really beautiful. And they’ve just had a baby! So a lot more successful wedding than the wedding in the film. LAST TIME I WAS STARSTRUCK I saw Nick Cave in Ballarat [in Victoria]. I’m a massive fan. I love his music and the way he goes about his work. I think he’s making some of the best music around today. LAST TIME I CRIED I went and saw Manchester by the Sea and it got…

BEN COUSINS SENT TO JAIL Troubled former AFL star Ben Cousins was remanded in custody in a Perth jail on Feb. 24 after allegedly breaching a violence restraining order relating to his former partner Maylea Tinecheff, with whom he has two children. The former West Coast Eagles champ and Brownlow medallist was also charged with stalking and possessing 8g of ice following his arrest in Perth on Feb. 23. The 38-year-old, who has long battled drug addiction, is expected to spend at least two weeks in jail. “He’s absolutely devastated he’s been remanded in custody,” said lawyer Michael Tudori. “This is not about trying to do anything against his ex partner. He’s moved on from her. He just wants to see his children and she’s not letting him.” At press…

FOR LILY COLLINS, THE chance to play an eating-disorder sufferer in To the Bone gave her pause. Ten years ago, she had been in the grip of such a disorder herself so she thought,“Why would I want to put myself back in that situation?” But the timing seemed fated—the script came to her just as she had written her memoir Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, which details her condition—and she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to keep the topic in the public eye.“It’s a conversation you need to start among young people—males and females,”she told Vanity Fair,“because it is becoming more prevalent for both now.” For Collins, the long-term consequences of her disorder are still of concern:“I was terrified I had ruined my chances of having kids.”…

Several stars made sure their politics were not swept under the Oscars red carpet on Feb. 26, with Ruth Negga and Karlie Kloss wearing blue ribbons supporting the American Civil Liberties Union and Emma Stone and Dakota Johnson sporting gold Planned Parenthood pins. “I don’t plan on not using my voice any time soon,” presenter Scarlett Johansson told WHO. “You put yourself kinda out there and people will have something to say about it, and that’s OK.” Also OK? Just celebrating with family. Dev Patel, a nominee for Lion, told E! host Ryan Seacrest that his mum, Anita, “is constantly on the verge of tears,” while Hacksaw Ridge star and first-time Best Lead Actor nominee Andrew Garfield said,“I’m here with my dad, which is surreal and beautiful, my mum, and…

What’s your makeup mantra? I like to keep it simple. If I have a lot of meetings, I’ll be quick and put it on in the car. For me it’s always about the eyes and brows. Many people are fixated on your brows. What are your thoughts on the attention? I was always embarrassed about them when I was a child, so it’s nice that [the positive response] helps other girls accept theirs. Now I can talk about brows all day. What’s your daily beauty regime? Sometimes it’s hard to constantly wash my face and moisturise every morning and night, but I try as much as possible. I feel like it’s important to look after yourself, I try to write, meditate or do yoga—something for my insides. Do you ever…

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 Mars moves on to money matters while Venus remains on its retrograde journey, taking you back in time and necessitating some rethinks, particularly on a relationship.

TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 We all need a little Mars in our lives: it gets us motivated to tackle matters that have been on hold and it inspires us to be more assertive and confident.

SEX BAN She might be one of the world’s hottest models, but that doesn’t mean Kate Upton and her baseball-player fiancé, Justin Verlander, have a crazy sex life. The Sports Illustrated model has revealed that they plan their special cuddles around the Detroit Tigers’pitcher’s playing schedule.“There’s no sex before a game—absolutely none,”Upton told Andy Cohen. She then went on to say that if he has a good game, they don’t celebrate between the sheets, either, because“he’s exhausted. It’s kind of a buzzkill for me.” BINGEING For the past 17 years Hugh Jackman has basically eaten boiled chicken, broccoli and cauliflower to be in shape for his role as Wolverine. But now, with the release of the final film, Logan(see p. 76 ), the actor has broken the diet with…

BOB HARPER, THE US personal trainer who, with fellow fitness guru Jillian Michaels, led the exercise regimen on Australia’s first season of The Biggest Loser in 2006, has shared details about the heart attack he suffered during a workout in a New York gym. “Two weeks ago yesterday I had a heart attack,” the 51-year-old instagrammed on Feb. 27. “I am feeling better. Just taking it easy.” The trainer had earlier told TMZ that he had been given CPR by a doctor who was at the gym when he collapsed but had remained unconscious for two days in hospital. “My word of the day ... lucky,” a recovering Harper wrote alongside a snap he posted after the medical emergency.…

“I am excited about the years to come”—George Clooney Arriving at the César Awards in Paris on Feb. 24, George and Amal Clooney exchanged adoring glances and kept their hands tightly linked. In case that wasn’t self-explanatory, a glowing Amal, her subtle bump visible in a showstopping custom Atelier Versace gown, spelled it out in a red-carpet interview. “It’s the first time we’re in Paris together,” the human-rights lawyer explained in fluent French, while George looked on. “So it’s a bit of a romantic weekend for us.” Honoured with a career award for being “the most charismatic actor of his generation” at the ceremony, the French version of the Oscars, George, 55, gave a shout-out: “To my wife, Amal, there isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not proud…

HER FIRST GUITAR At age 3, Adele was getting acquainted with her first guitar, a gift from her father. Perhaps she took after her mum, Penny, an accomplished guitarist, who would often strum her to sleep. FAMILY BONDS Though Adele’s father, Marc, and her mother, Penny, split when she was 9 months old, Marc would still make regular visits to Tottenham to see his daughter, a budding Spice Girls fan (Ginger was her favourite). HOME AWAY FROM HOME As a child, Adele regularly visited Penarth in Wales, home of her beloved “Nana and Grampy,” her father’s parents. She was devastated when her “Grampy,” John, died of bowel cancer in 1999. HAPPY TIMES Smith writes that Marc (above, with Adele in Alexandra Park, Penarth) had wanted to call his daughter Blue,…

Brisbane mother and daughter Valerie and Courtney Ferdinands remain sure that Valerie’s late dad, Joe, who Courtney calls Poppi, had watched over them during their My Kitchen Rules Instant Restaurant, which aired on March 1. The pair earned perfect 10s from judges Colin Fassnidge and Darren Robertson for their goat curry, re-created from Poppi’s recipe in the family cookbook Valerie has curated for 45 years. “I just wanted it to be right,” says Valerie, 61, getting emotional once more. “I wanted to prove my father’s legacy.” That legacy began in 1965 when Joe and his wife, Florence, migrated with their three children, including an 11-year-old Valerie, from New Delhi, India, to Brisbane “for a better life, really,” says Valerie. “They had no money and had to be sponsored, so it…

Vanessa Eckels, national artistry trainer for Hourglass Cosmetics, shares her expert application tips. Pick your wand of choice or create a mascara mocktail and tailor your ultimate lash look. “I love the Curator stainless steel wand. It allows you to reach the lashes that you previously couldn’t with a traditional mascara,” says Eckels. “You can get close to the base of the lash and reach the finer, shorter lashes at the inner and outer corners of the eyes.” If you desire strong, lengthened lashes, a mascara primer is your new magic wand. “Using a primer will not only help lashes appear longer and fuller, but it will also create a barrier between your lash and mascara,” says Eckels. This will aid in application and long-lasting wear. Perfecting the application is…

“When I arrived, my date had already taken a shot of tequila in his eye. I didn’t even know that was possible.” Dating in her 20s was scary for Scarlett Johansson. “It would be super cool of you to be like, ‘Yo, dad, why don’t you stop all this and go back to being just a guy on TV.’” Seth Rogen shares his direct message to Donald Trump Jr. “It’s very functional. I’ve pounded chicken with it.” Take note, Oscar winners: Tracee Ellis Ross uses her Golden Globe as a kitchen implement. “I could teach him a lot about what not to do.” Justin Timberlake wants son Silas to unfollow his showbiz footsteps.…
