Relaxing on a chaise longue between set-ups for WHO’s Sexiest People cover shoot on Oct. 26, Sophie Monk gazed through the panoramic windows facing the Pacific Ocean. “Maybe we should watch the finale from here,” she suggested to pal Oscar Gordon of where she and boyfriend Stu Laundy should view the ending of their rollercoaster run on The Bachelorette. The star opens up about her brand new relationship as the star of our gallery of the year’s sexiest celebs, starting on p. 36. Enjoy!…

UNDER SCRUTINY “Models are expected to be so tiny and I worry about that for her, because that was never my natural body type and I don’t think it’ll be hers either,” Crawford said of Gerber in 2015. “Still, I’ll say to her, ‘Enjoy carbs while you can.” COMPARING HER TIME IN THE spotlight as a supermodel in the 1990s to daughter Kaia Gerber’s experience as an upcoming fashion star, Cindy Crawford, 51, (see p. 56) said in November the “biggest change” she sees is body-image pressure. “The expectation is for them to be even thinner now,” she said in an interview with website Refinery29. “I was always a [US] size 6; I was never super-skinny and I never felt bad about it ... You could have boobs, you could…

All the details! As one of the stars of This is Us, Justin Hartley knows a thing or two about getting emotional. So it’s perhaps no surprise that when he first met Chrishell Stause, he followed his heart. The couple tied the knot beneath a canopy of trees at Malibu’s Calamigos Ranch on Oct. 28, four years to the day since they first met. It has long been an auspicious date on Stause’s calendar: “I texted my friend the next day, ‘I found him,’” she recalls. The feeling was highly mutual. “I knew right away she was the one,” Hartley says. “I think it was meant to be.” As Stause walked down an aisle blanketed with pink and white rose petals, she stopped to embrace Hartley’s 13-year-old daughter, Isabella, before…

A half-century on, Detroit bears the scars of racial violence that racked it and other cities in the late 1960s. After a raid on an African-American speakeasy, riots erupted. Kathryn Bigelow’s new film dramatises an incident at the Algiers Motel, in which police and National Guardsmen, claiming to be hunting for snipers, killed three black youths and beat and humiliated several other individuals. A police officer was acquitted in one death, and he and two others were acquitted of conspiracy; Detroit—which spiralled into decline after 1967— is still trying to heal.…

How do you manage to stay bikini-ready all year round? I have a really balanced diet and eat really healthy. I don’t smoke or drink, and I drink a lot of water and I always ensure my tan is on point. What’s your favourite workout? When travelling, it’s easier than people think to keep fit and healthy, hotels always have gyms so it’s easy access (no excuses) and generally have state of the art equipment and classes. You’re working with St Tropez. What do you love about their products? A glowing head-to-toe tan makes me feel gorgeous and sexy. Everyone likes to look tanned, but it’s really important to do it in a healthy way. It helps with self-confidence on the beach or when you’re in a summery outfit. Having…

“Let me tell you what goes wrong with solid food. It goes in a carrot, it does not come out a carrot. It comes out like something horrific.” New dad George Clooney discovers an awful truth about parenting. “I never use those words. I just call it wisdom.” Grace Jones is not bowing to “old age.” “I was thinking about bringing the mullet back in.” Once her buzz cut grows out, Kate Hudson plans an unwanted revival. “I had a really cool weight gain last winter. Has anyone had the kind of weight gain where your coats don’t fit?” A few extra kilos left Amy Schumer cold.…

This week, everyone’s talking about ... ‘BALL IN HER COURT’ “Justin really wants to get back with Selena,” a source told Us magazine. “He has been texting her nonstop and hangs out with her whenever he can.” Now, “the ball is in Selena’s court,” said another source. “She has to figure out what she wants.” SITTING OPPOSITE EACH other for Sunday breakfast in a cafe in Westlake Village, Los Angeles, on Oct. 29, Justin Bieber and ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez were spotted deep in conversation. The next day, sources confirmed to WHO that Gomez and her boyfriend of 10 months, The Weeknd (né Abel Tesfaye), had called it quits. Is it a case of join the dots? Not according to one insider, telling WHO there’s no romance between the former sweethearts—at…

THE UGLY BATTLE BETWEEN MELANIE “MEL B” Brown and Stephen Belafonte continued in its nasty vein when it emerged during Los Angeles court proceedings on Oct. 25 that Brown claims her ex drugged her throughout “much to most” of their relationship. “Miss Brown now takes the position she was drugged by Mr Belafonte throughout the course of the marriage,” said Belafonte’s lawyer, Philip Cohen, calling the allegations “nothing more than a smear campaign.” In the same hearing, Brown’s lawyers said Belafonte had at least 56 videos, a third of which were “of a sexual nature.” Brown’s legal team said “90 per cent” of the videos were made without her consent. In April, Brown, 42, filed for a temporary restraining order against her ex and accused him of physically and emotionally…

The cosy, converted barn that Harry Connick Jr shares with his wife, Jill Goodacre, is tucked away at the end of a country lane in a quiet Connecticut town. At 50, Connick is a multiplatinum recording artist, actor and host of the daytime talk show Harry (shown here on Gem)—a man who could afford a Beverly Hills mansion or a Manhattan penthouse. But the couple are happiest far from the bright lights, enjoying a laid-back existence with their daughters Georgia, 21, Sara Kate, 20 (who goes by Kate), and Charlotte, 15. “We’re just incredibly private,” Connick says. “We’ve never wanted a high-profile life.” “When I first heard the news, I just totally lost it”—Harry Connick Jr on wife Jill’s diagnosis Which is why, five years ago, they chose to weather…

Rebecca Fraser hadn’t been answering calls for 24 hours when, on a beautiful sunny day in Denmark, in south-east WA, her anxious mother Colleen went to her home to find out why. On June 25, 2012, Colleen found her daughter dead. A toxicology report revealed the 32-year-old had a lethal cocktail of sleeping pills, tranquillisers and anti-depressants in her system,in addition to the opioid methadone. Most of them had been prescribed. “She had just fallen asleep and didn’t wake up,” her sister, hairdresser Meghan Griffiths, 44, tells WHO. “Rebecca was so sedated her airway had closed up and she wasn’t conscious enough to clear it for herself. Police told me it wasn’t the first death of its type in town.” According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, around 600 people…

FANCY DRESS While some drew glam inspiration from the 1970s theme of Rande Gerber’s Casamigos party, Kim Kardashian West’s Halloween looks channelled music icons. “Cher definitely has a better body,” she said on social media. “Her stomach ...

TV 1 THE SECRET DAUGHTER STARRING: Jessica Mauboy, Bonnie Sveen Poor old Billie (Mauboy). In Season 1, she pretended to be the secret offspring of recently deceased hotelier Jack (Colin Friels), then she came to believe she was his secret daughter before having those hopes dashed as the season wound up. So how does the intrigue continue in Season 2? You’ll have to watch to find out. But in the meantime you can be sure there is more relationship drama, more manipulation—mainly by Jack’s wife, Susan (Rachel Gordon)—and definitely more music, courtesy of Mauboy’s spectacular voice.

‘SHINE A LIGHT’ Rapp tells WHO he spoke about Spacey, “standing on the shoulders of the many courageous women and men who have been speaking out, to shine a light and hopefully make a difference, as they have done for me.” IN THE SHADOW OF THE Harvey Weinstein scandal (see right), another Hollywood heavyweight has been accused of sexual misconduct, with Star Trek actor Anthony Rapp claiming House of Cards star Kevin Spacey made sexual advances towards him when he was 14 years old. In an interview with BuzzFeed, Rapp—an actor from the age of 9—says he was befriended by Spacey when they were both working on Broadway in 1986. Spacey—26 at the time— invited the then 14-year-old to a party at his apartment but Rapp found he was the…

HAVING INITIALLY REACHED A custody agreement with his wife, Audrina Patridge—a source at the time said, “Audrina has primary custody of their child and Corey is getting visits each week”— Corey Bohan has had a change of heart, filing documents seeking spousal support and joint custody of daughter Kirra, 1. Bohan’s response to Patridge’s September divorce filing shows he is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their only child. In documents obtained by E! News, Bohan is asking the court to end the requirement that he pay support to Patridge. Instead, the pro BMX dirt-bike rider wants her to pay him spousal support, as well as pay his legal fees. Since heading to court on Oct. 6, Bohan, 35, has moved out of the home they shared during their 10-month marriage…

HEART & SOUL “All my eggs are in one basket, and that’s my family,” says Lively (with James, Reynolds and Inez in December 2016). “That’s the thing that I feel most protective of and the thing that I feel is the most exposed when I feel exploited.” To get herself to leave the comforts of home life with husband Ryan Reynolds, 41, and their daughters, James, who turns 3 on Dec. 16, and Inez, 1, in Bedford, New York—a secluded suburban haven to many celebrities— Blake Lively, 30, concedes she needs a push. “I’m always ambitious about filmmaking,” she has said. “But I love my personal life so much—and my family so much—that it takes a lot to make me want to leave the house.” “Every moment you’re just trying…

John Boyega has had some big breaks. At 22, he was plucked from obscurity to play renegade stormtrooper Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now all of 25, he’s impressing critics with his role in Kathryn Bigelow’s gritty new movie, Detroit (out Nov. 9). But the moment that really launched his career? That would be landing the part of a leopard in a primary-school play. With one growl, Boyega knew he had found his calling. “I’ve always aimed high,” says the London-born son of Nigerian immigrants. “I’ve been working towards this for a very long time.” Well, not really all that long, if you measure Boyega’s trajectory in mere years. But there was nothing in the actor’s early life to suggest that wealth and fame were on the cards.…

‘IT’S CONFIDENCE THAT MAKES YOU SEXY. IT’S SELF- ESTEEM AND JUST OWNING WHO YOU ARE’ ‘EVERY WOMAN IS DIFFERENT, BUT THE THING I FIND SEXIEST IN A GUY IS HUMOUR’ HE’S THE ONE What made Monk choose Laundy over vineyard manager Jarrod Woodgate on The Bachelorette? ‘My dad said, ‘You’ve got to go with humour,’ and I agree,’ Monk tells WHO. ‘Life can get tough and if you laugh through it, it’s the best.’ On the eve of the Oct. 26 finale for The Bachelorette’s third season, star Sophie Monk is dodging paparazzi drones and helicopters at WHO’s cover shoot in South Coogee, NSW. ‘Do they think he’s here?’ she asks her best mate Oscar Gordon, wondering if photographers were hoping to catch her out with publican Stu Laundy, 44, the…

FAMILY MAN Her husband “is great” at childcare, Victoria Beckham told Elle in March. “That’s how you can show your support in a marriage, by saying, ‘You know what, I’ve got this,’” said the fashion designer. “That’s what makes a good partnership.” Leave it to David Beckham to make red boardies look so good. On Oct. 22, the father of four turned beachgoers’ heads when he and his brood—Brooklyn, 18, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 12, and Harper, six—spent a day in the waves on a sunny Malibu Sunday. As well as bodyboarding with his boys, the 42-year-old took a dip with Harper, kicked a ball around and snapped photos of his family. The former soccer star is more comfortable in his role as devoted dad than heart-throb, he has said. “I never…

You play headstrong Carolyn Bligh. How similar are you to her? She’s a very staunch fighter for equal rights and equality, and I am waving the flag high and bright for that. I feel very connected to her on those levels and for standing on her own two feet. What’s it like working so closely with your husband, Craig Hall, who plays your on-screen beau Jack Duncan? We first filmed together on a short film called Home Kill where by the end, his character ends up with an axe in his groin. That’s how we met! [Laughs] But it’s great working with him.

NEXT IN LINE With Season 2 of The Crown scheduled for release on Netflix on Dec. 8, the producers are already looking ahead to filming the following two instalments of the show. And as each season covers roughly a decade— Season 2 looks at 1957–1964—Foy will bow out to make way for Olivia Colman to take on her role as a more mature Queen Elizabeth for Season 3. Colman is probably best known for her role in Broadchurch and will also feature in the upcoming remake of Murder on the Orient Express. No word as yet on who will replace Matt Smith as Prince Philip.

FATS DOMINO 1928-2017 Antoine Dominique “Fats” Domino, the New Orleans musician and rock’n’roll pioneer who sold more than 110 million records, died on Oct. 24 at the age of 89. “We are all touched by the outpouring of love and tribute for our father,” his family said in a statement. Domino’s music, including his 1950s hits “Blueberry Hill” and “Ain’t That a Shame”, helped bring rhythm and blues to the white mainstream in the US. Throughout the ’60s Domino, who had eight children with wife Rosemary (she died in 2008), would mark an astonishing run of more than three dozen Top 40 hits. His records inspired generations of performers including John Lennon, who said that “Ain’t That a Shame” was the first song he learned to play. Said Lennon’s fellow former…
