Nicole Kidman has been a WHO favourite over our 25-year history, so featuring her on our annual Most Beautiful People issue at such a beautiful time of her life was a perfect fit. Two months shy of her 50th birthday, the actress and mother of four has never been happier. Her rock-solid love with husband Keith Urban forms a huge part of that, and the star was looking forward to being his plus-one at the Academy of Country Music Awards just a few days after talking to WHO in Sydney. “He has seven nominations and I get to go as his wife,”she tells WHO’s editor Shane Sutton.“I’m thrilled!”As is Urban:“She’s a gorgeous mum—I feel incredibly lucky to be raising our girls with her,”he says. “Nic’s beauty comes from her light.”…

FLORIST PAUL BURRELL had the perfect accessory for“something blue” at his April 2 wedding to corporate lawyer Graham Cooper—cufflinks given to him by Princess Diana when he served as butler to the late Princess of Wales. Burrell, 58—who in 2016 divorced Maria Cosgrove, his wife of 32 years, after they had been living separately for almost a decade—came out in March when he announced his engagement to Cooper, 58. Dressed in tartan, Burrell wept as he married his partner. “Everything about the day has been perfect,” he said after the ceremony,“made even more wonderful by the fact that my two sons were here to share in the occasion.” The man who once said Diana described him as her “rock” had a public falling-out with the royals in 2003 after he…

THE STORY OF SHERRI PAPINIthe US mother-of-two who was found on the side of a road 22 days after she was allegedly abducted at gunpoint and beaten by two women on Nov. 2—has become even murkier, with reports emerging that family members had complained to police about her years ago. Newly released documents obtained by WHO (first published by the Sacramento Bee newspaper) shed light on Papini’s previous behaviour and relationships with her family. Authorities stress the years-old complaints don’t have “anything to do” with abduction investigations, and Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko tells WHO that investigators have no reason “not to believe” Papini’s account of her disappearance while jogging near her California home. The incident reports indicate her mother, father and sister had all made multiple calls to police…

From a young age, Prince proved to be prescient.“Growing up, Prince was like, ‘You know what we’re gonna do today? We’re gonna sign our autograph. Because we’re gonna be famous one day,’” his sister Tyka Nelson, 56, said recently. Nelson remembers how Prince taught her to whistle and tie her shoes at their home in Minneapolis—and says he predicted his death.“About three years ago he called. He said,‘I think I’ve done everything I’ve come to do,’” she says.“My dad and Prince always spoke in these types of riddles. He knew [he was going to die soon]. And he was preparing me. It’s very clear.” Nelson spent time with Prince at Paisley Park days before he was found dead. Her message to fans: “He needed to go. He was tired. Instead…

GWYNETH PALTROW Actress and founder of the lifestyle brand Goop “The best compliment I’ve ever gotten is when I’ve been on plane rides and, at the end, the flight attendants say to me, ‘You have the most well-behaved children of anyone on my plane.’ And it’s happened more than once! Honestly, I’ve never felt so much feeling from a compliment in my life.” TAYLOR SWIFT Grammy Award–winning singer-songwriter “I’ve been told that I throw an epic Fourth of July party.” SAM FROST Co-host of Rove & Sam on 2DayFM “My stepdad, Paul, who I loved dearly and raised me since I was 5 years old, used to say to me as an obnoxious, rebellious teenager,‘It’s always the naughty ones that turn out the most beautiful.’” SERENA WILLIAMS Women’s tennis great…

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18 You could be travelling to foreign parts or being exposed to some new and exciting opportunities; then again, an endeavour or a relationship could run into trouble. You have your hands on the steering wheel, so in the event of an unanticipated obstacle put on the brakes. Turn a potential ending into a mere pause. For more, phone 1902 261 655. TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20 If other people put a stop to a situation or require more time to think about it, do not try to change their minds. Likewise, should you have your doubts that a project is heading in the right direction, put it on hold until you have more information. Not everything is set in stone or set to turn out the way…

“I know what it is to go, ‘You don’t have to tell me that he’s beautiful, because I know he’s not.” Minnie Driver is honest that her son Henry, now 8, didn’t have a pretty start to life. “I want people to know I’ve smiled a lot!” Five months shy of 50, Faith Hill reckons her wrinkles are worth it. “I never think being single sucks ... until I go out in LA. I really attract the old men!” Dating again has done a number on Hilary Duff’s self-esteem. “I miss the old emojis. This comet looks like a meatball.

From wearing glamorous couture gowns to barefaced moments to being showered with a thousand kisses from kids (and dogs!), beauty means different things to different people. Our annual special issue (opening on p. 40 ) celebrates this diversity of beauty, and Australian celebrities were happy to share with WHO personal photos capturing their most beautiful moments. For Newton’s Law’s Miranda Tapsell, it’s a flashback to being 18 months old, when her dad, Tony, looks adoringly at her and her mum, Barbara:“I was able to be confident because my parents always told me brown is beautiful.”Rebecca Judd, co-host of the 3PM Pick Up on KIIS, chose a precious snap of herself four months pregnant with her twin boys, pre-Logies in 2016.“I knew it would be the last time I was…

MAKING HIS WAY TO HELP LADY Gaga celebrate her 31st birthday in A-list style at Gjelina restaurant in Venice, California, Johnny Depp wore his signature boho style—battered leather jacket, tinted sunglasses, scarves and a hat. Less familiar, though: his noticeably thinner appearance. Since January, when his tumultuous 15-month marriage to actress Amber Heard finally ended with a nasty court battle in which she accused him of domestic abuse, the actor has continued to weather a trying time. In February the father-of-two, 53, sued his former business managers, the Management Group (TMG), for $US25 million in a fraud lawsuit. “In essence, TMG treated Mr Depp’s income as their own,” read the complaint in part. TMG has since filed a cross-complaint, claiming the actor lived an “ultra-extravagant lifestyle that often knowingly cost Depp…

THREE YEARS AFTER MODEL AND writer Peaches Geldof died at age 25, widower Thomas Cohen revealed in a German interview what it was like to find his wife’s body after her heroin overdose at their home in Kent. “When I found her, I was not surprised,” he said.“I thought to myself at the moment,‘Yes of course—you had to do that.’” The musician and former frontman for the rock band S.C.U.M said his thoughts went immediately to sons Astala and Phaedra, who had to be fed their lunch of yoghurt and bananas an hour after his horrific discovery. “The routine I had to keep up with the children helped me a lot,” concedes Cohen, 25, who is now in a relationship with 22-year-old Zoe Bleu Sidel, daughter of actress Rosanna Arquette.…

Posing for a post-workout selfie in her home-garage gym on April 2, Pink, 37, looked the picture of health and fitness. She felt like it, too—but when she posted the snap to Instagram she was also not afraid to address a weighty issue. “Would you believe I’m 160 pounds [72.5kg] and 5'3" [1.6m]?” she wrote. “By regular standards that makes me obese. I know I’m not at my goal or anywhere near it after Baby 2 but dammit I don’t feel obese.” Indeed, the singer has always advocated for athleticism and self-love. Six weeks after the Dec. 26 birth of son Jameson, she was back at the gym with trainer Jeanette Jenkins, proudly crowing that she had not “lost ANY WEIGHT YET!!!! Yaye me!!!! I’m normal!” Two months later, her slow…

“I thought of myself as sexy before. Now, I’m the shit” June Shannon isn’t about to be totally made over. For the past several months, the controversial reality star submitted herself to a radical regimen intended to transform her from the hefty loudmouth made infamous by the show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo into something more conventionally attractive. She has dieted, worked out, and been sucked into US size-4 shape. It’s all been captured on the TV series, Mama June: From Not to Hot. Now all that is left is for her to take a Cinderella twirl for the cameras. But she’s still irrevocably Mama June—especially around barbecue. “Let me show you how it’s done,” she declares, standing in the kitchen of her home in Hampton, Georgia. And with that,…

MUM-TO-BE AMAL Clooney has been kept busy with work in recent months, but on March 31 the human-rights lawyer and her husband, George, took time out for a stroll hand-in-hand in the English countryside near their home in Berkshire’s Sonning-on-Thames. Dressed casually—Amal, 39, in jeans and bomber jacket and George in faded jeans and a trilby—the couple appeared chilled ahead of their twins’ arrival. “Everything’s going well with Amal’s pregnancy,” a source tells WHO. “Amal is amazing,” says Paris restaurant owner Grégory Lentz, who hosted them at Lapérouse in February. “She is just lovely. He’s happier than I’ve ever seen him. They’re completely, fully in love.” George revealed on March 28 that he is ready for fatherhood. “I know swaddling,” he told Extra while promoting his Suburbicon in Las Vegas…

SURVIVING 12 STROKES AND two heart attacks after being found in a brothel in 2015, “I’m a walking miracle,” Lamar Odom, 37, told Us Weekly. The former NBA player, who completed rehab in January, also admitted he hid his drug use from ex-wife Khloé Kardashian until she caught him using cocaine in 2011, two years before they split. “She was disappointed,” said Odom, who is now working on a docuseries and autobiography. “She knew I was doing cocaine the whole time after that. It was my drug of choice. I’m not going to say she accepted it because that would be the wrong word. Tolerated would be a better word.” Odom’s biggest regret? “Having multiple affairs with different women,” admitted the father of two from a previous relationship. “That wasn’t…

THE IDEA OF BRAD PITT HEADING TOWARDS an art studio on a sunny spring day is in and of itself unsurprising, but the sight of the actor and known art collector in a slimmer guise certainly pulled focus on March 30.“He’s healthy and much happier,” a source tells WHO. “Things with his family have improved, all is being addressed privately, and it’s serving everyone in the family well.” Pitt, 53, has been frequenting the Los Angeles studio of friend and artist Thomas Houseago since splitting with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, 41.“He recently spent many days and even nights working on a sculpture,” a source close to Pitt tells WHO. “People close to him are happy that he has found something new to be passionate about.” That passion has also been reflected…

Just like spring temperatures in their shared home town of New York, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez’s young romance continues to heat up. The pair have flown across the country together for work, jetted to the Bahamas for play, met one another’s parents and introduced their families. “They are definitely getting more serious,” a Lopez source tells WHO. “When apart, they speak every day. It’s like they can’t get enough of each other.” Since they began dating in February, the superstar singer and pro baseballer have become J-Rod—an inseparable and glamorous unit. On a recent work trip to the Big Apple, the couple enjoyed two dates at high-end Italian hotspot Marea. “They seemed really happy together,” an onlooker says of their March 31 visit, after which they exited holding hands.…

“When he got home, he got down on his knees and prayed” Prince’s ex-wife Mayte Garcia isn’t the type to torture herself over what-ifs. But today, as she sits reminiscing about the iconic, genre-defying rock star, who died in April 2016 from an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl, tears fill her eyes.“I wish I’d gone and just knocked on his front door,”says Garcia, 43, of her reaction upon hearing from friends that“something was wrong”with her ex. “I was wrestling with it—should I get involved or not?—up until that final day.” The onetime teen dance prodigy spent much of the year since her ex’s death writing The Most Beautiful: My Life with Prince, which she describes as a“loving”tribute to her“first love.” The couple’s four-year marriage crumbled in 2000, she says,…

What’s the secret to looking spectacular over 70? Helen Mirren attributes her hourglass figure to a daily 12-minute fitness routine and her youthful visage to a love of makeup. (Her top beauty tip: “You can get away with naked eyes if you’ve got red lips,” she says. “Or red lips and sunglasses!”) And for someone who always looks so stylish, she never takes her fashion choices too seriously. She reuses favourite dresses on the red carpet (some more than five times), cuts her own hair and embraces her age: “Your 40s are good. Your 50s are great. Your 60s are fab. And 70 is f--king awesome!” She’s not kidding. The Collateral Beauty star has modelled for L’Oréal Paris, Marks & Spencer and the famously steamy Pirelli calendar, shared cheeky onscreen…

I notice it when looking back on past…

These simple steps will help you enjoy some Easter indulgence, minus the chocolate hangover. 1 Easter eggs are not all created equal. Aim for quality over quantity. The darker the chocolate, the more antioxidants it contains. 2 Try some vegan or gluten-free hot cross buns or make your own with wholegrain flours, fruit and no sugar. 3 Sharing is caring. Give them away, don’t eat them all and don’t buy anything in bulk. 4 Set yourself a limit—one bunny, two eggs. Having an indulgent moment is important, but shift the focus from chocolate and treat yourself with a pamper session instead. Crack open a new book, have a massage or even a bath. 5 When it comes time to fill up the Easter basket, instead of just eggs and chocolates…
