IN HER FIRST RED CARPET – technically yellow carpet – appearance as a member of the British royal family, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, returned to her glamorous acting roots for the European premiere of Disney’s The Lion King on July 14 in London’s West End. Clutching the hand of husband Prince Harry, Meghan, 37, who gave birth to son Archie on May 6, strode into the event at Leicester Square to the strains of Elton John’s ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ in a tea-length Jason Wu dress with Aquazzura pumps, a Gucci ‘Broadway’ clutch and black enamel and diamond earrings by Greek designer Nikos Koulis. Complimenting her impeccable style, fans on social media also praised the new mum for showcasing her post-pregnancy figure: “I get that no-one should be…

For the high school girls who heard about the offer, it seemed too good to be true, even if a little weird. A rich, middle-aged man in Palm Beach, Florida, was offering young women $280-$430 to give him a half-hour massage at his waterfront home. Michelle Licata, then a student at Royal Palm Beach High School in 2005, took up the offer of what she thought was easy money. On a massage table in a room at the silver-haired man’s mansion, Licata say she massaged the back, legs and feet of multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who wore nothing but a towel. Then he flipped over, removed the towel and ordered the 16-year-old to take off her clothes. After she stripped to her underwear, Licata says Epstein set the timer for 30…

Michelle Carter was 17 when she first crossed paths with 18-year-old Conrad Roy III, while holidaying with her family in Florida. Carter was the granddaughter of a Roy family friend, and although they lived about an hour apart in Massachusetts, they kept in touch through calls, emails and texts. Despite only a handful of face-to-face meetings, Carter came to think of herself as Roy’s girlfriend. Among the things they shared was a history of taking prescription antidepressants, and each had tried to kill themselves before Roy succeeded on July 12, 2014. Although Carter was nowhere near Roy before his body was found in the cab of his truck parked outside a Kmart in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, the investigation into his death took an unprecedented turn when police discovered text messages –…

A similar grace to that of her late aunt, Princess Diana, 28-year-old British model Lady Kitty Spencer is making big waves in the fashion industry. Long before she started jetsetting around the world to model for some of the world’s most luxurious brands, Spencer was just a tot who happened to have a rather privileged bloodline. It was a chilly winter’s day in London on December 28, 1990 when model Victoria Lockwood (now Aitken) and Earl Charles Spencer, younger brother of Diana, Princess of Wales, welcomed their daughter. In an attempt to flee the media circus that surrounded them, the Spencers moved to South Africa in 1995 – with the hope to give their four children a stable upbringing. “I had an idyllic childhood,” Spencer tells Marie Claire of her…

I’m lying on the floor of a yoga shala in the Sri Lankan jungle as my teacher Jessamin asks us to think about something we’re grateful for. Sitting up, I bow my head and join the chants of Namaste around the room. Opening my eyes, I listen to the sweet songs provided by native bird life and watch a butterfly flutter across the room, as the first rays of sun illuminate the swaying palms in the dense jungle setting. I glance at my sister Marissa, who has joined me for a week at Soul & Surf, a luxe surf and yoga stay in Ahangama in Sri Lanka’s laid-back Southern Province, and smile. With four children under eight between us, the chance to indulge in our childhood hobby of surfing twice…

Resetting your bedtime is just as beneficial as choosing to rise earlier. If you’re a night owl, Fairhall advises you adjust your body clock in small increments, starting with an earlier bedtime. “The best way is to try going to bed 15 minutes earlier,” she says. “So, instead of going to bed at 11.30pm, go to bed at 11.15pm.” She adds that if you do that for one week, continually reducing your bedtime by 15 minutes, you’ll find rising earlier will become easier and “will soon become a habit”. With all that extra time up your sleeve, you won’t feel as rushed – or stressed. So why not make a pact with yourself to try it for one week.…

Essie Davis The actress, 49, talks about her startling transformation in Lambs of God. Fans of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries will get a surprise when they see you in this, won’t they? They’ll suddenly think I’ve aged 40 years. My character is not vain. She doesn’t care what she looks like because she has no mirror. She’s pretty rough as guts. There are some confronting scenes with dead animals. Was it real? We did have real lamb carcasses. The blood was not real – that was mostly Coca-Cola-flavoured syrup stuff. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I think there might been a little bit too much blood in the first episode. You’ve also got three films coming up. You’ve been busy, haven’t you? It’s been incredibly exhausting working back-to-back on…

THE LION KING SOUNDTRACK From classics like ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’, ‘Circle of Life’ and ‘I Just Can’t Wait to Be King’ being given a new lease of life, to a brand-new Beyoncé track (‘Spirit’), the soundtrack to the Disney update stands on its own merits. Also included: excerpts from Hans Zimmer’s original score. APOLLO 11 There are countless TV specials dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing, but it is hard to go past this big-screen documentary (out now), directed by Emmy Award winner Todd Douglas Miller. Working with previously unseen footage and more than 11,000 hours of audio recordings, Miller has created a cinematic experience that puts viewers right in the historic moment all those decades ago. AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR Despite the repetition of the…

HAYDEN PANETTIERE’S FAMILY and friends are ‘begging’ her to leave her allegedly abusive boyfriend, Brian Hickerson. While the aspiring actor faces a felony charge in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident, a source tells WHO Panettiere’s loved ones “are begging her to straighten up and move ahead”. “It is totally out of control and she has to get over this guy,” the source says of the Nashville star. “Her friends and family have been worried about her for quite a while and things seem to have gotten worse,” the source adds. “She needs to do some soul-searching. For whatever reason, she continues this relationship, but it has done nothing but take her down lower. It’s a sad situation.” Panettiere, 29, was first linked to Hickerson in August 2018, after…

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT JUDGE HEIDI KLUM and her rocker partner, Tom Kaulitz, have been secretly married for months. Klum, 46, and boyfriend Tom Kaulitz, 29, are legally married, it has been confirmed, with public records showing they obtained a confidential marriage certificate in California. TMZ reports they tied the knot in February, just two months after Kaulitz proposed to Klum on December 24, 2018. The couple have not yet commented on the news. Despite keeping their marriage quiet, the model has in the past opened up to InStyle magazine about dating a younger man. “Lately, I’m being reminded more about my age by people other than myself,” Klum said.“My boyfriend is many years younger than me, and lots of people are questioning that and asking about it. That’s really the…

There’s only one thing to do when you turn 50 but look 30, and that is to celebrate with a national arena tour – just ask Jennifer Lopez. The age-defying superstar isn’t showing any signs of slowing down as she gets older. “I am 50. But I feel like I’m 28,” the mother of two told the Los Angeles Times. “Just because you know my real age, it doesn’t matter. Can I pull it off ?” Not only can the 49-year-old – she celebrates her 50th birthday on July 24 –pull it off, she’s still considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, and she’s topping the charts, selling out arenas for her It’s My Party tour and making millions of dollars every year.

Australian Ninja Warrior has kept audiences on the edge of their seats for two seasons, but the challenges are now reaching new heights with the show’s return. WHO caught up with host Rebecca Maddern, 41, who spoke about motherhood and her own challenges on the set, and revealed the news we’ve all been wanting to hear about the new season – someone will finally be crowned the winner. What was it like filming in Melbourne for Season 3? My baby Ruby was 8 months old when we were filming, so it made life a little bit easier that we didn’t have to pack up the whole family and move interstate for a month or so. I was pregnant when I filmed Season 2, so she was a lot easier to…

In the three years since Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny Depp, the two have made headlines over their very public legal battle. Most recently, Depp’s legal team indicated intent to subpoena James Franco in a defamation lawsuit Depp filed against Heard in March, over surveillance footage of Franco actor entering a lift with Heard after she reportedly had fought with Depp and claimed to be injured. Depp’s lawyer Adam Waldman confirmed to WHO he plans to subpoena Franco and Heard’s ex-boyfriend Elon Musk as “fact witnesses” on behalf of his client. “We already know from 87 surveillance videos and 31 eyewitnesses what Elon Musk and James Franco saw the week of May 21 — that Ms Heard’s ‘battered face’ was a hoax,” Waldman said. Heard’s lawyer Eric George…

The film’s anniversary is bittersweet because Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher, who played Harry and Sally’s best friends-turned-couple Jess and Marie, aren’t here to celebrate. Kirby, also known for The Godfather Part II and This is Spinal Tap, died of leukaemia in 2006 at age 57. “He disappears into the character,” says Reiner. Ryan remained close to Fisher, who died of cardiac arrest at 60 in 2016. “We were pregnant at the same time,” Ryan says. Reiner recalls Fisher singing on set, once treating the crew to ‘Tammy’, a hit for her mum, Debbie Reynolds. “What a voice!” he says.…

This Autumn/Winter’s Salvatore Ferragamo advertising campaign is an ode to the unmistakably Italian flavour of ease and sophistication inherent in the house. Not unlike Salvatore Ferragamo, Milan is a place of great discretion but also deep cultural and artistic sophistication – which made me realise it made the perfect location for this campaign.” Continuing the house’s Patchwork of Characters philosophy, the campaign features a cast of models, both male and female, cast from a broad range of cultures and age. Some of the models are regular collaborators with Salvatore Ferragamo – friends of the house – but one notable new face this season is that of Hero Fiennes-Tiffin.…

Don’t you hate it when a series you have enjoyed watching ruins everything by going on for too long? A once-brilliant show starts to dip in quality as it becomes impossible to sustain standards, especially when creators move on to new projects or original cast members leave and new, less enjoyable characters take their place, and you can sense the fatigue among those actors who do stick around for the long haul. So to answer the question I’ve posed, often the perfect number of seasons is one or two fewer than there end up being. Imagine if Friends had called it quits after Season 8. Being spared the Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) pairing alone would have made that a good move. The sitcom just wasn’t as funny…

The Sydneysider is the author of 40 books for adults and children, including her best-known novel, Bitter Greens, a grown-up retelling of the Rapunzel fairytale. With her latest, The Blue Rose, out now, Forsyth, 53, tells WHO about the book that she … … was first captivated by as a child The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton.

My aunt was reading a chapter a night to my sister and me, and my sister kept on reading during the day, gasping and laughing and crying. I…

STARRING: Jason Brown Like Season 3, this latest instalment of the American football reality series follows the team at Independence Community College in Kansas. The players are once again under the tutelage of head coach Brown, a man about as far removed from Friday Night Lights’ Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) as you can get in everything except his passion and commitment to the game. What Last Chance U shares with that acclaimed drama, though, is that you don’t have to care that much about the sport to get something out of the show, which focuses on the personal struggles of the players more than the game itself. (On Netflix from Fri., Jul. 19)…

AFTER A MARATHON MATCH that lasted four hours and 57 minutes, which saw legendary tennis rivals Novak Djokovic, 32, and Roger Federer, 37, go head-to-head, it was a tie-break point that ultimately led to Djokovic’s grand slam win on July 14. The Serbian player’s 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 triumph became his fifth Wimbledon victory, adding to his impressive collection of 16 total grand slam wins including five at Wimbledon. “I know I’ve said this before, but when I was a boy ... this always has been the tournament for me. It’s where I wanted to participate and where I wanted to win one day,” Djokovic said following the match. “I think this was, if not the most exciting and thrilling final I was ever part of, then definitely top…

THE UPCOMING BIOPIC OF ELVIS Presley has officially got its leading man. Following an intense casting contest, Austin Butler, 27, has scored the role of Presley, Warner Bros confirmed on July 16. The likes of Ansel Elgort, Harry Styles and Miles Teller were reportedly tested for the gig, but it was won by Butler, a Nickelodeon and Disney Channel alumni who made his Broadway debut in The Iceman Cometh in 2018. Butler announced his new role via Instagram, by quoting from Presley’s hit ‘Love Me Tender’: “You have made my life complete, and I love you so.” The news was met with support from Australian director Baz Luhrmann, who said: “I knew I couldn’t make this film if the casting wasn’t absolutely right, and we searched thoroughly for an actor…

DESPITE A VERY PUBLIC SPLIT FROM BRADLEY Cooper, Irina Shayk still believes in marriage. “Everyone looks at it differently,” Shayk, 33, told Harper’s Bazaar about attitudes to tying the knot.“Do I believe in marriage? Yes, of course. I’m not the kind of person who is against it.” The Russian model and the actor and filmmaker, who share 2-year-old daughter Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, announced their split in June after four years together. Shayk, who is notoriously private about her personal life, and Cooper, 44, were rumoured to be engaged but never walked down the aisle.…

Besides her abs, J.Lo is probably best-known for being a serial monogamist. “I’ve been married three times, I’ve been proposed to five times,” she told The Late Late Show host James Corden. “I’ve had some amazing proposals you know I’ve been married a couple of times – I’m still trying to get it right!” In March J.Lo announced her engagement to A-Rod – her sixth proposal. The pair started dating in 2017. “For me, the relationship journey has been very up and down,” she told Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year. “But it didn’t have to do with anybody else but me – it was about me figuring out me.” Lopez married her first husband, producer Ojani Noa, in February 1997 but they divorced just 11 months later. She then dated…

To see a brand new life emerge from the womb is a deeply profound experience. And to know what Chloe Kennedy had been through to have her baby made it all the more incredible. I was in awe, and in tears, as I watched Dr Lucy Bowyer lift the tiny baby girl out and place her on her mother’s chest. Two years ago, Chloe Kennedy was embarking on one of those bucket list adventures. The then 26-year-old scientist ended a long-term relationship, sold her apartment, packed up her things and moved in with her sister to save money so she could move to Italy for a year. Her local barista was Italian, so she asked him to teach her a few key phrases. And just like in the movies when…

BUFF BROTHERS Twins Matt and Luke Filippi hail from the Sunshine Coast, so it’s no surprise they don’t have any quarrels about getting their kit off on our photoshoot. “My favourite exercise is probably chin-ups. Bodyweight exercises,” Matt says. And Luke is on the same page, admitting he enjoys “probably chest, too.”When it comes to their diet, Matt reveals he’s been “smashing a couple of cans of tuna,” in the lead-up to the contest. Although the brothers have both been on the show on Season 2, Matt, who is a former soldier and is a personal trainer by trade, says he’s happy to lift his electrician brother’s spirit when needed during the competition. Proving there is no sibling rivalry between the two, they admit they’re  closer than ever since they’ve…

Dita Von Teese is used to stripping off in front of strangers. The 46-year-old pretty much singlehandedly revived the sexy art of burlesque in the 1990s, creating a hugely successful career from showcasing her enviable physique on stage. However, baring her soul and the details of her private life is another issue entirely. “There are some things you are going to sacrifice” The American star’s fame reached dizzying new heights when she divorced controversial singer Marilyn Manson in 2007. “I remember when I was going through my divorce,” she tells WHO. “I’d be asked about it and I was like, ‘Wow’. It’s so raw and we all have intense feelings. It’s a weird thing to act like there’s no feelings attached to having a baby  or a break-up or whatever…

WHAT: 1-WEEK WINTER CLEANSE WHERE: TAKARA YOGA THERAPY, BYRON BAY COST: $315 In line with the Eastern yogic tradition, Takara Yoga Therapy works on strengthening and nourishing your body and focuses on postures that correlate to different organs and meridians (energy lines in the body). Our day began at 5.15am. It was dark, which was a blessing as the first exercise was to‘jig’ along the beach followed by a dunk in the ocean. The sun was barely rising but dipping in the cold sea with a handful of strangers is strangely comforting – and creates very quick bonds. Next was an hour yoga class where we focused on stretching out our backs and sides with strong kidney strengthening postures. Working the kidney chi (energy) in winter is beneficial because it…

SWEET SORROW David Nicholls Charlie is 16 years old, has just left school and is living with his depressed, heavy-drinking father when a chance meeting with a girl called Fran leads him to take a new path. While he has no acting ambitions and is really just following his heart – or something else – Charlie joins Fran’s theatre group and a new world of possibilities opens up to him.

Soon after, mum Rachel receives the call to tell…

ROOT OF EVIL More than 70 years later, the Black Dahlia case continues to fascinate, inspiring Stan series I Am the Night and this accompanying podcast that takes a closer look at the murder of aspiring actress Elizabeth Short. Even more intriguing: Root is hosted by two great-granddaughters of Dr George Hodel, the man suspected of the crime. That’s some serious family baggage to unpack. GLADIATOR From The Boston Globe’s Spotlight Team (the subject of 2016’s Best Picture Oscar-winning film) comes this series looking at the murder conviction of New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez, as well as the effects of brain condition CTE (which is linked to repeated head injury) and the culture of pain medication abuse that’s rife in professional football. FROM THE FILES A spin-off of the…

“I don’t remember those months of my life because I was (a) so drunk and (b) so sad.” Ariana Grande talks honestly about her state of mind while making her latest album. “I think I should not have been so seduced by talent. When you’re both doing the same job, it’s not so great. I should have found just a nice human being, kind of a family guy.” Diane Keaton – who has not dated anyone in 35 years – reflects on previous relationships with famous actors. “I’ve only been with five people in my life, so I’m kind of a prude, honestly, compared to most others in the field.” Perhaps Mariah Carey is going for quality over quantity when it comes to partners.…
