My “smokey eye” looks more like “chronically sleep-deprived”, I can’t rock a red lip, and if you give me blush, I’ll give you Bobo the Clown. When Pamela Anderson went makeup free at Paris Fashion Week recently, Jamie Lee Curtis described it as the start of a “natural beauty revolution”. Well, to that I say vive la résistance! Check out the other natural beauties keeping it real from page 28. While I’m probably never going to associate Madonna with the “natural beauty” movement, I’ve been a massive fan since she first appeared in my loungeroom on Countdown in 1984. At 65, she’s just got her Celebration Tour underway after a near-fatal illness and it looks amazing (page 6). And a big happy birthday to Denmark’s Prince Christian (page 18). Turning…

With her WSFM co-host Brendan Jones by her side, Amanda Keller has taken home the ACRA (Australian Commercial Radio Awards) trophy for Best On Air Team three times before, but this year’s win came as she needed it most, reducing her to tears. “I went public this week with the news that my husband has Parkinson’s disease,” she said on stage, referring to her husband Harley Oliver’s diagnosis six years ago, which she revealed on her Double A Chattery podcast on October 5. “To get out of bed and go to work and be with people you love and laugh your head off, it saves us every day. I love my job.” Family was also front and centre for Jackie O Henderson, who, despite her Kyle & Jackie O Hour…

1970-2023 Cal Wilson has left behind a lasting legacy of laughter following her death on October 11 at the age of 53. While a statement from Token Artists, who managed Wilson, revealed that she had passed following a “short illness”, the cause of death was later confirmed to be a rare and aggressive form of cancer. “Cal’s generosity, talent and friendship have been constants in the Australian comedy scene for the last 20 years,” the statement also shared. “Cal was loved by her family, friends, fans and peers and a huge hole has been torn in the heart of our community.” That couldn’t be more true. The entertainment industry in both Australia and Wilson’s native New Zealand was left reeling after her passing was announced, with many taking to social…

Turning 18 is a day not to forget for anyone, but when Prince Christian of Denmark reached the milestone on October 15, it was an occasion that was celebrated in style. The festivities kicked off at midday when the young royal stepped out onto the balcony of Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg to wave to the crowd that had gathered to watch the Changing of the Guard. He was then joined by his parents Crown Prince Frederik, 55, and Crown Princess Mary, 51, his grandmother Queen Margrethe, 83, and his younger siblings. By nightfall, the glamour was turned up a notch as aristocrats from all over Europe dressed in their best for a white-tie gala hosted by the Queen at Christiansborg Palace. Two hundred “young people” who had excelled in…

CARRIE BICKMORE & FIFI BOX Having met on The Project desk many moons ago, the beloved TV and radio stars quickly went from work colleagues to best friends – or as Box has said,“ ride-or-die sisters”. So when the pair got the call up to star in this year’s one-off special episode of Celebrity Gogglebox Australia, it was a no-brainer to say yes. “I already spend time on Fifi’s couch watching TV and chatting, so this really is the perfect gig for us!” Bickmore, 42, said of signing up for the much-loved show. That sentiment and enthusiasm was shared by her co-star, who admitted that she was “thrilled” to take part. “How could I pass up the opportunity to hang out on the couch with my mate Carrie and watch…

RIVER PHOENIX 1970-1993 His brilliant, brief career The night before Halloween in 1993, actor River Phoenix, his hair cut short and dyed dark for his latest movie role, walked into The Viper Room, the Los Angeles night club partly owned by Johnny Depp, with his younger siblings, sister Rain and brother Leaf (later known as Joaquin), and his girlfriend, actress Samantha Mathis. “I knew something was wrong that night, something I didn’t understand,” Mathis recalled to The Guardian in 2018. “I didn’t see anyone doing drugs, but he was high in a way that made me feel uncomfortable – I was in way over my head.” Less than one hour later, Phoenix, who at just 23 years old had already starred in 12 movies and had scored an Oscar nomination,…

The spooky season is almost nigh, and we’re getting ready to celebrate another gloriously ghoulish Halloween. Aussies may not have always embraced this October 31 tradition, but in recent years we’ve been busy making up for lost time, whether it’s Halloween parties, trick or treating with the family or settling in for a night of grisly and ghastly films. So why do we enjoy this gruesome fare? Psychologist Carly Dober from Headspace App says there can be a fine line between fear and having fun, as long as we’re able to engage from a safe space. “For people to genuinely enjoy and be drawn to ghost stories, they are likely aware that they are in a safe environment which makes it a safe thrill,” she explains. “Scary entertainment can trigger…

Few places conjure as much as awe as the Galápagos. The remote volcanic archipelago, called ‘Las Islas Encantadas’ (the ‘Enchanted Islands’) by early explorers, captivated Charles Darwin, who spent five weeks here in 1835. The English naturalist marvelled at the unusual plant and animal life he encountered – species that had developed in isolation from the continent, but which often differed from island to island. The experience sparked his imagination, and featured prominently in his groundbreaking work, On the Origin of Species, which forever changed our understanding of natural history. On Isla Santa Cruz, the word Darwin seems to be everywhere: affixed to restaurants, clothing agencies – even the main waterfront street in Puerto Ayora. The most important ‘Darwin’ on the island, however, is the Charles Darwin Research Station. The…

ALL THAT SHINES ENGLAND There was no missing Rita Ora as she stormed down a Manchester street swathed in silver. IN A LATHER INSTAGRAM Toni Collette was feeling “so in awe of life” as she took to social media to reflect on a trip to Iceland. “Magical. I will never forget it,” she said of seeing the Northern Lights. IT WAS HER! NEW YORK CITY Amy Schumer was quick to point the finger at pal Glenn Close at the 2023 Bring Change to Mind Gala at City Winery. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON LONDON Sir Rod Stewart and his second youngest child, Alastair, were peas in a pod at a Jimmy Choo event.

What was the last thing you learned about yourself? The last real thing I’ve learned about myself is that I’m far-sighted. I thought for a while that books and magazines were just not very well printed, but it turned out that I’ve needed glasses forever. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? I took my wife and my dad to see Barry Manilow in Las Vegas ’cause my dad said he wanted to see something and I thought that might be something he’d enjoy – but secretly I wanted to. And then when we were at the concert, I knew more of the words to the songs than Dad did. Last time you lost your cool? I lose my cool every time I’m on the phone to an automated operator. If…

A head of co-hosting the Logies red carpet in July, Sonia Kruger and Chris Brown were stoked with their pairing. “Chris has such great, natural charisma and a brilliant sense of humour,” gushed Kruger, 58, while Brown, 45, described his offsider as “naturally funny, fearless, flawless and a party animal”. The pair are set to continue exploring their chemistry on the 2024 season of Dancing with the Stars, a move that was confirmed in a statement from the show’s previous host, Daryl Somers, 72. “Seven let me know recently that they have signed Chris Brown to the network full-time and amongst his commitments he will be hosting DWTS,” he said in a statement posted to social media. “I realise how fortunate I have been to have had such a long…

Millie Bobby Brown was just 12 years old when she was cast as Eleven in Stranger Things. Growing up in front of the world, she told Glamour magazine, was tricky, particularly when she was criticised for the way that she promoted the show. “We’re kids – we talk over each other. I was just penalised for over-talking and oversharing and being too loud.” She revealed that adults called her “an idiot”, “stupid” and “a brat”, noting that “it’s hard to hear that at 13”. With the show set to film its fifth and final season once the Hollywood actors’ strike is over, Brown, who’s engaged to Jon Bon Jovi’s son Jake Bongiovi, is ready to step out of the confines of the Netflix series, opposite Chris Pratt in The Electric…

Pamela Anderson AGE: 56 Pamela Anderson has been turning heads since she was discovered on a jumbotron at a football game at just 22. And 34 years later, the former Baywatch babe caused an unexpected stir at Paris Fashion Week by going makeup-free to shows for designers like Vivienne Westwood, Victoria Beckham and The Row. “I didn’t come to Paris Fashion Week and think: ‘I’m not going to wear any makeup,’” the mum-of-two, who did apply a dab of homemade rose oil to her face and a hint of mascara, revealed in a video for Vogue. “Something just kind of came over me, and I was dressing in these beautiful clothes, and I thought, ‘I don’t want to compete with the clothes,’” she continued, recording the interview while still in…

NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN It’s a brand more associated with gin, but Never Never Distilling has released the final bottles of its limited-edition blended whisky. Banded is crafted using spirits from six different casks, supplied by distilleries from the surrounding South Australian region and purchased back in 2017 when co-founders Sean Baxter, George Georgiadis and Tim Boast got together to create Never Never. They hoped to blend it with whisky they intended to produce, but those plans were sidelined when their gin production took off. With notes of toffee apple and buttered fruit toast and layers of brulee and plum pudding to taste, this is one for the collector. Available exclusively at neverneverdistilling.com.au, RRP $185. GOBBLE GOBBLE Wild Turkey has added a new RTD to its premix range. Responding to…

Take a seat Taylor Swift and Beyoncé – the Queen of Pop, Madonna, isn’t ready to give up the throne just yet. After a three-month delay caused by a near-fatal bacterial infection, the 65-year-old’s The Celebration Tour kicked off at London’s O2 Arena on October 14. “I woke up [in hospital] with all my children around me,” she recalled to the packed-out stadium. “I forgot five days of my life… or my death. I don’t really know where I was,” she added. “But the angels were protecting me. And if you want to know my secret and how I survived, I thought, ‘I’ve got to be there for my children. I have to survive for them,’” she said, before performing an acoustic version of Gloria Gaynor’s hit ‘I Will Survive’.…

ADELE Unlike her marriage to ex-husband Simon Konecki, which she kept firmly under lock and key, Adele has been unable to contain her joy over her relationship with beau Rich Paul. “I’ve never been in love like this,” the 35-year-old told Elle magazine last year. “I’m obsessed with him.” And while the sports agent, 41, has been a little less forthcoming in his public adoration of the singer, he didn’t shy away from praising his lady love in a recent interview. Speaking to CBS Mornings host Gayle King on October 9 to promote his upcoming memoir, Lucky Me, Paul revealed that the pair were happier than ever. “She’s been great, I think she would agree that we definitely helped each other. I’m in a good space, we’re in a…

Although it has already been the subject of a memoir, podcast and documentary, the true crime that has inspired ninepart drama A Friend of the Family is one that continues to shock and confound decades after events occurred in the 1970s. At age 12 and again at 14, Jan Broberg was kidnapped by Robert Berchtold, a man she described as a “master manipulator” in a 2019 interview with Vulture. In 2003, Jan’s mother, Mary Ann, released a book titled Stolen Innocence: The Jan Broberg Story, but it omitted important details. The case was explored again in 2017’s Abducted in Plain Sight, but critics felt too many questions were still left unanswered by the movie-length documentary. With Jan and Mary Ann serving as producers, A Friend of the Family tries to…

For those who’ve suffered from food poisoning in the past, you’ll know it can be a miserable experience. From diarrhoea to vomiting and flu-like symptoms, the effects of food poisoning are ghastly and can last for a couple of days, or even several wretched weeks in some cases of listeria (yes, you read that right!). Thankfully, storing, handling and cooking food correctly can significantly reduce your chances of being affected by illnesses such as salmonella, E. coli or listeria. Here are some of the most common questions you might have about food safety. IS IT SAFE TO EAT... LEFTOVER RICE? It might seem fairly harmless, but rice can be a source of bacillus cereus, which sounds like a constellation of stars but is actually bacteria that can grow in rice…
