Speaking to WHO, the 40-year-old revealed that working on the Ninja Warrior (season three premieres July 8, 7.30pm on Nine) has made him reassess his choices. “Ninja’s really inspired me in a way because I’ve found myself all of a sudden, for the first time in my life, getting off my fat a--- and doing some exercise.” “I’m now ready to have a go”—Ben Fordham In a candid chat, Fordham admits: “I’ve gone from 97 kilograms down to 82, so I’ve lost 15 kilos.” Although he wasn’t severely overweight, the dad of two – with one on the way with wife…

We were really in love,” Georgina describes to WHO. “The discussions started when I was really young – which was stupid – I think I was 16.” Having dropped out of school in Year 10, Georgina didn’t have to worry about juggling high school and a baby. “It was after my 17th birthday that we started really talking about it,” she explains. “We were trying for two weeks and I fell pregnant.” Even though they were actively trying, Georgina…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Optimistically, you may come up with a fresh, original plan or insight that may seem crazy at first, but which is likely to be quite useful. Happiness is all around you and people who are important in your life may show greater understanding. You may also learn how to relate more easily to people around you.

LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY Blue Sky in Your Head In 1998, the British duo comprised of Tunde Baiyewu and Paul Tucker reached No. 1 in Australia with their uplifting ballad ‘High’, but it’s now been 18 years since their last studio album. Not much has changed in the intervening period, with Lighthouse Family sticking to mid-tempo easy listening tunes that showcase Baiyewu’s velvety vocals for the majority of Blue Sky in Your Head. There are moments that break out of cruise control, like lead single ‘My Salvation’, which has an urgency not found on the rest of the album’s tracks, but by and large this is music to let sweep over you like a warm breeze. (Out Fri., Jul. 5) MICHAEL HUTCHENCE Mystify A soundtrack like no other – thus the subtitle,…

“He’s cancelled. I’ll tell you why – he’d only come on to talk about [The Loudest Voice] if we’d play his song.” Fired-up Amanda Keller told radio listeners why Russell Crowe cancelled an interview. “I’m getting a manicure this morning. That’s OK, right? I mean it says man right in the word.” Friends star Matthew Perry responded to Daily Mail claims his nails were “dirty and unkempt”. “We shook hands, and it was this weird electricity for, like, three seconds. Three to five seconds of looking at somebody right in their eyes, and getting stuck.” Jennifer Lopez explains her instant connection with now-fiancé Alex Rodriguez.…

SHE’S ONLY JUST RECONCILED with Katy Perry, but it appears Taylor Swift just can’t get away from drama. On June 30, the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ singer took to her Tumblr page to reveal she had spent years trying to gain ownership of her music from Big Machine Records. Swift, 29, claimed she was told she could only buy the records back over time if she signed a new contract. “I walked away because I knew once I signed that contract, [founder] Scott Borchetta would sell the label, thereby selling me and my future.” Upon learning that Scooter Braun, who manages Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, had acquired her music catalogue for $430 million (US $300 million), the star let loose. “When I left my masters in Scott’s…

Singer Céline Dion is cementing her position as the queen of couture, turning the pavement outside her hotel into a catwalk during Paris Fashion Week and switching outfits multiple times a day as she swanned around the city. In the years since the devastating loss of her husband of 21 years, René Angélil, in January 2016, Dion – who is now raising their sons, René-Charles, 18, and 8-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy, alone – has pursued new passions with the help of dancer, stylist and close pal Pepe Muñoz.

Returning for the second series of the subversive and darkly comedic Big Little Lies (Fox Showcase), executive producer and star Reese Witherspoon is joined by returning executive producer and star Nicole Kidman, co-stars Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, Shailene Woodley and new cast member Meryl Streep as a grieving mother with an inquiring mind. “The second season is about recovery from trauma,” says Witherspoon, 43. “And about learning to look at yourself through a real clear lens.” Speaking to WHO, the actress does some self-examination of her own on spilling secrets, lousy behaviour and raising teens. How good are you with secrets? I don’t have a lot of secrets, but I think it’s fascinating what we do and don’t tell people, even our closest friends. What’s fascinating about the show is…

Chrissy Teigen is many things – successful model, cookbook author, wife to singer John Legend and devoted mum to Luna, 3, and Miles, 1. So it’s no wonder the 33-year-old has absolutely no time for social media trolls and ‘mum shamers’, and she’s not afraid to shout it from the rooftop. Since welcoming daughter Luna in 2016, Teigen has shared the ups and downs (and all the in-betweens) of parenthood with her fans. From postnatal depression to how her sex life has changed, no topic has been off limits. On April 20, 2016, the new mum tweeted, “No-one told me I would be coming home in diapers, too”.

SAFARI SUITED HEAD TO MADIKWE FOR THE ULTIMATE SOUTH AFRICAN WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE During the hour-long scenic flight from Johannesburg to Madikwe, I get a fleeting feeling of being in a ‘parallel universe’. Because at first glance the patchwork of red earth, rocky outcrops and khaki shrubs below looks exactly like outback Australia … well, until you notice it’s garnished with giraffes and zebras. Landing at the Madikwe East Air Strip, I’m greeted by the smiley Mitchell Huggins, my Madikwe Safari Lodge field guide, who reveals that the lodge is sprawled across three different sites – Kopano, Dithaba and Lelapa, where I’ll be staying in one of 12 plush, standalone suites overlooking the bushveld. On the short drive to Lelapa, we pass a herd of impala. It’s rutting season so the…

This is a basic mindfulness sequence and works well by allowing the focus to move from the breath to the sounds, to the sensations. Just be aware that you will find yourself thinking from time to time and that’s OK. Simply come back to the breath, the sounds or the feelings and start again. Every time you do that, you’re back in meditation. 1 Find a comfortable position.“Sit down if possible, but it’s not necessary,” says Amos 2 Notice your breath. Where do you feel it most? Perhaps it’s in your belly, throat or at the tip of your nostrils. 3 Notice all the things you hear. Label them in your mind: birds, cars, aeroplanes, etc. 4 Notice what you’re feeling. Are there any sensations that stand out in your…

After she experienced a damaging relationship where nothing was quite as it seemed, Wood made use of her journalistic skills – she is a former writer for Good Weekend – to investigate her ex-boyfriend. She found a trail of manipulation and narcissism but few answers as to why a man apparently looking for love online would weave such a bizarre web of lies. Along the way, she discovered he had other victims, and they’re not alone – the post-truth world is full of fantasists who don’t appear to have a conscience or care who they hurt. A beautifully written cautionary tale that blends memoir with a study into the dark corners of love and relationships. (Out now)…

This fascinating series looks at how works of fiction from previous eras have, intentionally or otherwise, predicted things that have come to pass in the present day. From The Handmaid’s Tale’s account of America’s shift to a fundamentalist dystopia being reflected in the current abortion bans to The Simpsons’ eerily accurate jokes about US politics, hosts Nikolay Nikolov and Sam Haysom analyse how on-the-money these books and shows were. For anyone terrified by the direction the world is headed, this is a thoughtful look at how it really shouldn’t have come as a surprise.…

The 44-year-old has shared intimate details about his emotional woes amid a career blow. “I do not believe for a second I was at my best,” Stefanovic said at Channel Nine’s post-Logies’ brunch on July 1, in an interview with MC Rebecca Maddern. “I think I was struggling towards the end of last year. It wasn’t a great surprise to me – in fact, it was a relief in many ways that I was taken off the Today show, because I just wasn’t at my best. And you can’t be doing that show unless you are at the top of your game.” After enjoying some down time with his wife, Jasmine, Stefanovic says he…

Munching on a brownie, Edwina Bartholomew sits cross-legged cradling her growing baby bump. The picture of pregnant perfection, the 35-year-old Sunrise star – who will take six months maternity leave – is bubbling with excitement. However, the much-loved presenter doesn’t want to give a false impression. This hasn’t come easy. While Edwina is now four months pregnant, and due in December, she reveals to WHO that she and husband Neil Varcoe didn’t fall pregnant straight away. “For many years, as a woman, you try so hard to not get pregnant,” she tells WHO. “When you finally get to trying to get pregnant, there’s all these logistics you have to work out, like timing and it’s only really two, three days a month [you can fall pregnant]. It completely sapped the…

Sienna Miller knows a thing or two about making headlines. After her breakout roles in the early 2000s, the British actress quickly became a tabloid fixture known more for her romantic life than her work. Now, nearly 20 years later, “I’m a little more boring,” she says with a laugh. And she’s finally getting the kind of attention she can enjoy – rave reviews. “Getting older is relieving,” says Miller, 37. “People are more willing to see you as a talented human being and not just something in a skirt.” Years ago she left the London party scene (and former fiancé Jude Law) behind for a more settled life as a working actress and mum of Marlowe, 6, her daughter with ex-boyfriend Tom Sturridge. Quietly, her career has flourished. She’s…

In the 1970s, Juanita Nielsen was as famous for being the heiress to the Mark Foy’s department store empire as she was for her personal style, complete with a multi-layered pile of bouffant hair. Nielsen made the most headlines, however, as an outspoken activist against developers’ attempts to destroy the grand buildings of Victoria Street in Sydney’s Kings Cross, and replace them with giant apartment towers. As a result of her activism, Nielsen, 38, was an inconvenient thorn in the side of a number of developers, underworld figures, police and politicians. She disappeared on July 4, 1975, never to be been seen again. On this year’s 44th anniversary of her disappearance, time has done little to dampen interest in one of Australia’s most baffling unsolved murder cases. “This is a…

FRENCHY FLICK From morning coffee catch-ups to evenings at Palais Garnier and everywhere in-between, Parisian women tend to keep eye makeup to a minimum.

The youngest Kardashian sister’s name might be in the title, but the real stars of this reality series are the people hoping to lose weight and get revenge on someone or something that has held them back. Sent on a 12-week mission overseen by Kardashian’s contact book of LA-based trainers (who all seem to be Australian) and celebrity stylists, the participants battle the bulge and their demons. Revenge Body lacks the warmth of Queer Eye and is too blatant with its product placement, but its heart is in the right place. (Starts Mon., Jul. 8 at 11am; E! and streams on Hayu)…
