Chadwick Boseman’s tragic death this week hit hard. Like millions around the world, I found him awe-inspiring in all he did – on-screen and off. Knowing now that he filmed a series of movies, including the award-winning Marvel flick Black Panther, while secretly battling colon cancer – he was diagnosed in 2016 – is testament to his strength. But his actions off-screen are what makes him a true hero (page 8). A few months before Boseman passed, he married the love of his life, long-time girlfriend Taylor Simone Ledward – something that no doubt brought him immeasurable joy. Our thoughts are with her, his family and friends during this difficult time. His legacy will live on forever. This issue, we also celebrate another epic love story. It’s been 20 years…

After a pregnancy fraught with anxiety and struggles to keep their love on track, A-list couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom deserved a break. And thankfully, friends close to the pair say that since the arrival of their adorable daughter Daisy Dove, they’ve been “in a bubble of bliss”. “Katy had no idea it was possible to be this happy,” says a source. “Her world has righted itself since their daughter was born.” Katy, 35, and her 43-year-old fiancé are bunkered down in their mansion, where friends say it’s near impossible to drag them away from the nursery. “Katy sings to her and stares at her for hours. She loves breastfeeding Daisy, but has to be reminded to eat as well every once in a while!” says the insider. The…

‘It’s been really cute and exciting, and I’m trying to document it well.’—HADID She’s been keeping her pregnancy journey relatively private since news she was expecting broke in April. But Gigi Hadid gave fans the first real look of her beautiful baby bump recently by posting several intimate shots to her Instagram. The 25-year-old, whose little one with beau Zayn Malik is due this month, put her belly on full display in the stunning photo shoot. “Growin an angel,” she shared. Hadid confirmed the pregnancy rumours in April, but admitted she was hesitant to share more details with fans because of the current global coronavirus pandemic. “Obviously I think a lot of people are confused why I’m not sharing more but like, I’m pregnant through a pandemic, like obviously my…

The past few months have been challenging for a lot of people. And while Katie Holmes has been right in the thick of it in New York City, the actress admits it’s given her the opportunity to slow down and spend some quality time with daughter Suri Cruise. “This time of quarantine has been such a lesson,” the 41-year-old shared with The  Daily Telegraph recently. “Just really looking at everything you have and celebrating the simplicity of making dinner and spending that time together.” Last April, the mum-of-one swept her daughter off to celebrate her 13th birthday in Paris, but this year’s celebrations were a little more low key. The pair enjoyed a party at home, complete with DIY decorations and flower crowns – which Holmes showed off on her…

“You cannot have the illusion that you know what tomorrow will bring”— TAYLOR A 15-metre billboard on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood celebrates Holland Taylor’s Emmy nomination – her eighth – for Hollywood, the Ryan Murphy miniseries about the golden age of movies in the ’40s. “I heard that was up!” Taylor exclaims to a reporter, who informs her during a telephone interview that he can see her face from his window. “Take a picture for me, will you?” Taylor says. “That’s the first billboard of my career, you know.” It’s not lost on Taylor, 77, that she’s still having firsts.

Nothing can stop true love it seems – not even a global pandemic! When COVID-19 restrictions came in during filming of the eighth season of The Bachelor, contenders – including frontrunner Irena Srbinovska (left) – were forced to switch to virtual dates with Locky Gilbert, 31. “It was a real shock when we found out we’d have to leave the mansion,” the Melbourne nurse, 31, tells WHO of the experience. “I was worried when I could only see Locky on Zoom that it could go either way in terms of our bond.” How would you describe your experience when it came to dating Locky online? I actually think it strengthened our connection. It was obvious to Locky and I from the beginning that we had incredible chemistry but when your…

Last moment of pride Two this year – when my middle daughter, Maggie, 22, graduated from Stanford and my youngest daughter, Audrey, 18, graduated high school. And our oldest, Gracie, 23, is an actress in LA. They’re very outspoken about what they believe in; I’m proud of that. Last game I played A trivia game. I’m competitive, but when I’m playing with my wife [Faith Hill] and our girls, I don’t get a word in edgewise. I just sit back and try to answer a question every now and then. Last thing I discovered about myself I’m maturing slowly. I like things neat and clean, but I’m messy myself. I get in trouble all the time: “The hamper’s right there. Why does it have to be on the floor?” Last…

Strolling on the sand in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on August 22, Kim Kardashian may have looked in holiday mode, but it was all business for the shapewear and makeup mogul. “Quick trip to Cabo for @KKWBeauty,” she posted in Instagram Stories. “Can’t wait to show you guys soon.” While it appeared this trip away was solo, the last time Kardashian was spotted in the Mexican resort town she was on a Valentine’s Day getaway with her husband Kanye West, 43, filled with massages and meals from a private chef. “They never left the room and just enjoyed one-on-one time,” a source told E!

She’s been known for remaining tight-lipped when it comes to her baby news in the past, so when Beyoncé stepped out on August 23 sporting what appeared to be a small bump, onlookers were understandably curious. Wearing an oversized Adidas jumpsuit while leaving a photo shoot in New York City, the 38-year-old’s normally trim tum certainly looked a little rounder than usual, leading to speculation she could be expecting baby number four with husband Jay-Z. It wouldn’t exactly be a surprise if the star has decided to keep her pregnancy news on the down low. When she was expecting Blue Ivy, now 8, Beyoncé waited until she was five months along to unveil her bump at the 2011 MTV VMAs. Similarly, the ‘Run the World’ singer was almost halfway along…

In just the first seven months of 2020, more transgender people have been murdered than were killed in all of 2019 – a shocking uptick that the American Medical Association calls a “rising epidemic of violence”. There have been at least 28 transgender homicides (there were 26 last year) since January, based on data from the National Centre for Transgender Equality, and experts say more deaths may go untallied because police and family members don’t accurately report the victim’s gender. More than 90 per cent of victims are Black trans women, targeted not only for their gender identity but for the colour of their skin. Among them was Philadelphia fashion designer Dominique “Rem’mie” Fells, whose killer remains at large. “We deserve to have a normal life and not have our…

In 2005, a decade before becoming a couple, Taylor and American Horror Story actress Sarah Paulson were introduced at a birthday party in LA. “I already knew a lot about her because I’d seen her in a bunch of things,”Taylor recalls. “She was one of those up-and-coming stars who was a real head-turner. Her talent was just very striking, and she was so fabulous-looking. Then I was seated next to her.” Taylor recalls being “irritated”, she laughs. “I remember thinking, ‘Here is this irritating girl, this irritating cooly-cool girl. A young star who’s such a big deal, who’s just going to start spouting off everything she knows about everything, like all young people do.’” Their 32-year age difference was a factor. Taylor recalls thinking, “I’m just this old person and…

WHAT IS MASKNE? Not to be mistaken for acne, maskne is now a very real thing.“The technical term for maskne is ‘acne mechanica’ and is the result of friction from fabric against the skin,” Pereira explains. “The friction can lead to inflammation and irritation of the skin that impacts the pores, contributing to acne. In addition, when moisture is trapped within the fabric it creates a humid environment, thus creating a bacterial playground that forms on the skin’s surface and in the pores. The combination of moisture, humidity and the friction action of fabric on the skin’s surface irritates it and the skin becomes more susceptible to bacteria forming and causing acne mechanica,” he adds. HOW DO WE PREVENT IT? According to skincare expert Douglas Pereira, the number one rule…

What can you tell us about your new book Older? It took me a long time to imagine a sequel to Younger because, in a way, the TV show was the sequel – the show extends the story of Liza, Kelsey, Maggie and Josh far beyond the end of the original novel. But during a massage last year I had one of those bolt-from-the-blue inspirations. I knew in an instant that my next novel had to be a sequel to Younger and that the only way to make it work would be to set it several years beyond any theoretical end to the hit series. Liza’s at an exciting time in her life. How important has it been for you to show that life isn’t “over” because she’s older? Hugely…

The MTV Video Music Awards looked very different this year – with no audience, different parts of the ceremony spread out over New York and virtual acceptance speeches aplenty – but there was still plenty of glitz and glamour! Miley Cyrus sparkled in a daring sheer dress, before taking to the stage to sing her new song ‘Midnight Sky’ with a very ‘Wrecking Ball’-reminiscent performance. The 27-year-old was among a host of stellar artists, with the Black Eyed Peas, The Weeknd, Maluma and CNCO also performing for viewers. Lady Gaga scored big on the night, taking home five awards and also putting on an amazing display with Ariana Grande, with the pair belting out their recent collaborative hit ‘Rain on Me’.

She might be known for her more unusual health hacks, but it certainly seems to be paying off for Gwyneth Paltrow! The 47-year-old was spotted showing off her incredibly trim and toned body while on the beach in the Hamptons on August 23. Wearing a barely there bikini, the actress-turned-entrepreneur looked half her age as she splashed about amongst the waves.

Breakfast is a smoothie with almond milk, coconut oil and vanilla mushroom protein powder. “I have a pretty…

Mary Donaldson was 28 years old when she came across a tarot card reader at a local flea market. The fortune teller began turning over the cards and told the Tasmanian advertising executive that she would leave her current job and meet a man from abroad, become famous and move to Europe. “I left there and thought, ‘Well yes, that was a lot of fun, but nothing more,’” she would later tell biographer Jens Andersen. “I’ve always been interested in the spiritual – in mystery and fate.” She would seal her fairytale fate months later when she struck up a conversation with a man named Fred, who was relaxing with the Danish sailing team at Sydney’s Slip Inn during the 2000 Olympics. “I didn’t know he was the Prince of…

Confident of her identity as early as Grade 6, Nikki Kuhnhausen, 17, enjoyed dressing up and experimenting with eye shadows and lipsticks, often winning admiration from the cheerleaders at her school for her makeup skills. “If the cheerleaders are on your side, who’s going to pick on you?” laughs her mum, Lisa Woods, 52. The Vancouver, Washington, teen, who was transgender, aspired to be a hair and makeup artist for Nicki Minaj and win America’s Next Top Model. She also “stood up for people against bullies”, says her mum. “She was very brave on behalf of other people.”“Everyone loved Nikki,” says friend Taylor Watts, 19. But Woods, always supportive, worried about Kuhnhausen connecting on social media with men who might hurt her. That fear came true when Kuhnhausen disappeared on…

1 DON’T OVERDO YOUR DIET Losing weight can be hard enough, but it’s estimated more than 80 per cent of dieters will eventually gain it back. While there are a number of reasons for this, it’s believed that drastic dieting can send our bodies into starvation mode in a bid to stop burning fat. The result? A lower metabolism, which can make it easier to gain back weight you’ve lost. For better long-term results, keep weight loss slow and steady, and fuel up on healthy foods. 2 SPICE THINGS UP You may have heard that eating spicy foods can raise your metabolism.
