After spending way too much time developing a mindless, phone-scrolling habit, I’ve challenged myself to read more actual books. Despite the pile on my bedside table, I’ve been inspired to pick up a couple more tomes after reading our book news and reviews in The Hit List (page 88). I especially love music biographies, so can’t wait to get hold of Love & Pain by Silverchair’s Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou in September too. Speaking of books, I’m so glad we could share an extract of Matildas captain Sam Kerr’s inspiring new read My Journey to the World Cup. Check it out from page 30. It really got me in the mood for the FIFA Women’s World Cup tournament, which kicks off in Sydney on July 20. How…

Stepping out in a floor-length plum gown from Dolce & Gabbana, Kim Kardashian looked like a princess as she attended the luxury Italian house’s Alta Moda fashion show in Puglia on July 9. And the reality star was given the royal treatment too, sitting in the front row with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Kerry Washington. Despite the huge smile plastered over Kim’s face, the 42-year-old is likely bracing for plenty of drama with Kourtney when she returns to the US. In scenes currently playing out on their reality show, the sisters have been involved in a feud over the brand for several months. It all started last September when Kim debuted her curated collection for Dolce & Gabbana during a show in Milan. Kourtney, whose Italian wedding wardrobe was also made…

If you haven’t already jumped on the Threads bandwagon, then let’s face it, you’re a little late to the party. Over 10 million people, including several celebrities, joined Meta’s newest social platform in the first seven hours after it launch on July 6 – and that number had tripled in 24 hours. The company, which also owns Facebook and Instagram, has described it as Instagram’s text-based conversation app “where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow”. However, Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg was a little bit more blunt, labelling it a “Twitter killer”. Stars such as Shakira and Jennifer Lopez got early access to the app, with the ‘Jenny from the Block’ singer welcoming fans with a friendly, “Hola Threads!”.…

Celebrity Since her breakout role on Dynasty in 1981 launched her to stardom, Heather Locklear’s life has been filled with some very public dizzying highs and devastating lows. But has the woman who earned a reputation as being a lifesaver when it comes to turning around struggling TV shows found the only thing she can’t rescue is herself ? Fears for the wellbeing of the 61-year-old star were sparked after Locklear was spotted looking distraught and dishevelled following an appointment in Malibu on June 29. The Melrose Place actress also walked around the high ledge of the building before taking a seat to write in a notebook while muttering to herself. Witnesses claim that while she did this, her fiancé, Chris Heisser, waited patiently across the road in his car…

Celebrity Formula One events are always celebrity magnets – proven by Netflix’s docuseries Drive to Survive – but things were kicked up a gear at the British Formula One Grand Prix this year, when Brad Pitt took to the Silverstone track to film scenes for his untitled upcoming F1 film project. The movie, expected to have a full-scale theatrical release in late 2024, is being co-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and seven-time world champion driver Lewis Hamilton. “Brad is such an iconic actor. He has always done such an incredible job, so I can’t tell you how excited I am to have Brad Pitt in the Formula One movie,” the Mercedes driver told reporters. “I mean, it’s incredible. I think he’s going to do such a great job.” In the film,…

CHAMPION THE COAT Rather than your dress or blouse being the statement, make your coat the hero. Layer it over simple black trousers and a light sweater so you can wear your coat all day, rather than just for the commute. Finish off with sleek black accessories for a versatile look to take you from AM to PM. LAYER MASTER Just like Olivia Palermo does so well, add some layers to your favourite dress or spring look so you don’t have to ditch your go-to office pieces.

who’s news It’s not every day a girl turns 12, so you can bet that when Harper Beckham reached the milestone, she celebrated in style. The lucky tween had a Pradathemed party at the label’s namesake cafe in luxury British department store Harrods with her parents and siblings, bar Brooklyn who now lives in the US. David, Victoria and big brothers Cruz and Romeo gifted Harper with something from the Italian fashion house, presumably the sparkly re-edition of the label’s 2000 satin mini bag she was seen posing with. Proving to take after her fashionista mother, Harper stepped out in sneakers and a pretty lilac slip that was custom made for her by the former Spice Girl’s label. “Chic,” Posh captioned her snaps of the event on Instagram.

Looks like Steve Peacocke has been keeping his greatest role yet under wraps – becoming a father! The former Home and Away star and wife Bridgette Sneddon appear to have quietly welcomed a baby girl around 12 months ago. The mother and daughter were spotted visiting the doting dad on the set of his show RFDS on June 25, which is currently filming in Broken Hill. Peacocke, 41, and Sneddon, 36, tied the knot in 2015 after meeting at school. “It was the best day of my life getting married,” he told The Daily Telegraph at the time. The pair tend to live a low-key life. “As a couple, we don’t ever chase the social scene, we’re not on social media, we’re not often in the limelight,” Peacocke said. “We…

She might normally be the subject of affections from overzealous fans, but when Britney Spears turned the tables recently she was in for a shock. The singer, 41, was at the same restaurant as new NBA draft pick Victor Wembanyama on July 5 and after reportedly approaching him for a photo, she was slapped by one of his security team. After the incident hit headlines, Spears took to Instagram to reveal that while “traumatic experiences” are not new to her, she was “not prepared for what happened”. “I simply tapped him on the shoulder [to get his attention],” she wrote. “His security then backhanded me in the face.” While Spears admitted the story was “super embarrassing” she said she was speaking out to “urge people in the public eye” to…

Celebrity She may have come out all guns blazing when filing for divorce from Kevin Costner, but the actor’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, has taken a blow in their already-acrimonious split after being forced out of the home they formerly shared. In the warring pair’s first court hearing on July 5, a judge ordered the 49-year-old to vacate the Santa Barbara mansion she and Costner have called home since tying the knot in 2004 by the end of the month. The $219 million compound has been a point of contention since Baumgartner “blindsided” Costner by filing for divorce on May 1 citing “irreconcilable differences”. He claimed that the handbag designer has refused to vacate their home, despite a clause in their prenuptial agreement that requires her to do so within…

T.J. HOOKER From 1982 to 1986, Locklear starred alongside William Shatner in the police drama, while juggling guest appearances on Dynasty. The role was the start of a long working relationship with producer Aaron Spelling. SPIN CITY Her role as Michael J. Fox's love interest earned Locklear two Golden Globe nominations. She was brought in on Season 4 of the hit series in 2000 to lessen the workload on Fox following his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease. DYNASTY Her role as Sammy Jo Dean on the Spelling soap was Locklear's big break. The small guest role turned into a full-time gig in 1986 because the producer was so impressed by her. It wouldn't be the last time she'd work with Spelling either. UPTOWN GIRLS Known for TV drama, Locklear took to…

Forget the stereotypes about weights – anyone can start strength training and it’s a very effective way to exercise. “It can help you burn fat, build muscle and speed up your metabolism, leading to a leaner, more toned body,” explains fitness trainer Sharon Mackay. In addition, exercise physiologist Kathleen Alleaume says there are great long-term benefits. “Becoming stronger will have huge benefits for your mobility, flexibility and strength. It also improves balance, so you’re less prone to falls and bone injuries.” GET STRONGER Although cardio exercises such as running and swimming are great for fitness and endurance, weight training is the only way to increase your body’s strength. “Having strength means you’ll be able to maintain an active lifestyle,” says Mackay. “With regular training, everyday activities like carrying the shopping…

If you’re serious about getting your complexion looking its best, it’s time to start thinking of the concept of “skincare” as more than just what you apply to your face. “We know that roughly 80 per cent of skin ageing is likely related to lifestyle,” says general practitioner and cosmetic doctor, Dr Prasanthi Purusothaman. Here’s how to fine-tune your skincare routine from all angles. OUTSIDE EXFOLIATE WITH AHA’S As we age, our skin’s natural cell turnover process slows, which can lead to a duller complexion. To counter this, “regular use of an AHA like lactic acid has been shown to improve hydration in the skin”, and can even help stimulate ceramide and collagen production, explains Dr Purusothaman. DOSE UP ON HYDRATORS “The humble moisturiser should not be underestimated,” advises Dr…

who’s news Former Smallville star, Allison Mack, has been released from prison early, serving just two years of her three-year sentence for her role in a sex-trafficking case tied to a cult-like group. The 40-year-old pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiracy charges in April 2019 related to her efforts to recruit women to the NXIVM sex cult. Prosecutors said Mack helped recruit and groom women as sexual partners for the group’s leader, Keith Raniere – who is currently serving his own 120-year prison sentence. She was arrested in 2018 and was initially facing more than 14 years in prison but saw her sentence slashed after providing evidence to help prosecutors pursue their case against Raniere. While Mack has yet to speak publicly since being released, she previously apologised to those…

News feature As she took to the stage of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for her Las Vegas residency in early July, Adele had one thing on her mind. The singer had a very strong warning for her crowd of roaring fans after a string of terrifying incidents. “Have you noticed how people are, like, forgetting f--king show etiquette at the moment and people are throwing s--t on stage?” the 35-year-old popstar is seen asking her audience in a video that a fan shared on social media. “Have you seen that? I f--king dare you, I dare you to throw something at me, I’ll f--king kill you.” Adele’s plea followed several attacks against musicians while performing the month before.

Polo charity game While the fewer number of official engagements she completes each year compared to other working British royals has seen the Princess of Wales be labelled as work-shy in the past, no-one could accuse Kate of not pulling her weight during the first week of July.

Kate’s hectic schedule kicked off on July 4, when she stepped out to enjoy the second day of Wimbledon with Roger Federer.

Mary Fowler, 20, has been branded Australia’s “rising star”, with even the Matildas captain herself calling Fowler “the next big thing”. And while those labels could weigh heavily on a player her age, Fowler tells WHO she’s determined to focus on the job at hand. “There’s definitely times when it has gotten to me and you feel the pressure, but I just see myself as an ordinary girl … and I want to do things just as every other girl my age is doing,” she explains. “And as much as I love football and I’m 100 per…

He did all his characters and I got pulled on stage and ended up rubbing oil into Borat’s butt cheeks. Many tears were shed. Last thing you learned about yourself?

Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? A jumbo bag of Darrell Lea milk chocolate bullets, not the whole bag OK!!! But I put a dent in it, multiple times. They are gone. What was the last gift you got? I just bought myself a new Harley-Davidson Breakout from…
