Families. They come in all shapes and sizes and don’t necessarily conform to what you might think of as the“norm”. Celebrity families are no different, and in this week’s WHO, some of the world’s most famous faces open up about their family trials and tribulations like never before. Take Nicole Kidman, who – on page 24 – reveals how a personal struggle following her divorce with Tom Cruise saw her eating a burger on the floor of her hotel room after an Oscar win she should've been celebrating. Then there’s Kate Hudson who reveals how she was in tears after reconnecting with her estranged sister on page 28. Sofia Vergara, meanwhile, talks candidly about her failed marriage to Joe Manganiello on page 22, while on page 26, Gisele Bündchen touches…

In The Tourist, Jamie Dornan’s character, Elliot, has managed to survive car crashes, mobsters and the Australian outback, but in real life, the actor was almost undone by something much smaller in scale. The star recently found himself in hospital thinking he was having a heart attack – thanks to a caterpillar. The Irish actor, 41, was on a golfing trip to Portugal with pal Gordon Smart late last year. Speaking on The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected podcast, Smart revealed that when the pair felt unwell, they thought it may have been caused by one too many drinks until hotel staff told them they likely had a run-in with some pine processionary moth caterpillars, which are known to be quite toxic. “Jamie said, ‘Dear me. Gordon, about 20…

It’s been more than two years since the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while filming the movie Rust in October 2021, but the implications keep coming for Alec Baldwin. The actor, 65, who was holding the prop gun that discharged, killing Hutchins, 42, and injuring director Joel Souza on set, has been indicted by a New Mexico grand jury and charged with involuntary manslaughter for a second time – leaving Baldwin and his wife Hilaria on edge. “This is not how they wanted to start the new year,” a source told People magazine of the pair. “It’s frustrating for them both that Alec is being recharged. They knew there was a possibility there would be anew indictment. The back and forth is hard. It’s very stressful.” Baldwin was initially…

CASE OF NERVES “It was a monstrous experience,” Kenny says of qualifying for Gladiators. “They weren’t just getting names off Instagram to come in. The people were going to be the best and the biggest. I was like … ‘I’m not cut out for this.’” It’s been an unusual summer for Jett Kenny, who has traditionally spent the warmer months on the beach, working as a lifeguard and competing in ironman events. But following an injury sustained during his stint as Viking on Gladiators, the otherwise fit 29-year-old has been forced to take it easy – something that doesn’t come naturally to the active athlete. “I happened to dislocate my shoulder 52 seconds into my first appearance [on Gladiators],” he recalls. “Big scary Viking comes out and all of a…

When Maria Muñoz died unexpectedly, her ex-husband told police he believed she had overdosed on prescription pills. The young mum-of-two had been “pretty depressed lately”, Joel Pellot was seen explaining on body cam footage. In the early hours of September 22, 2020, officers arrived at Maria’s Texas home where they were confronted by a shocking scene. Dressed in blue surgical scrubs, Pellot was performing CPR on his 31-year-old estranged wife, who was declared dead shortly after. The pair had met in Puerto Rico when she was a nurse and he was a medical student, and they wed in 2011. Maria quit work to stay home and take care of their two children, who were aged 5 and 2 when she died. But their marriage was on the rocks after Maria…

When The Masked Singer judge Abbie Chatfield, headed off on a “burnout holiday” to Thailand back in July she realised just how necessary it was to take regular breaks from her busy working life. Now, the 28-year-old is again prioritising travel to reconnect with herself, this time in the Northern Territory as part of her role as Tourism NT’s new Chief Sensory Officer for Summer in the NT. “I need to go to places that can stimulate my brain while also letting me relax and the Northern Territory is so great for this,” says Chatfield to WHO. With no shortage of adventure, intense landscapes and rich culture, the TV host, podcaster and social media star says that it’s one destination that’s been able to draw her away from her phone.…

Sarah Ferguson has been diagnosed with skin cancer, just months after “beating” an early form of breast cancer. A representative for the Duchess of York announced on January 21 that the 64-year-old is currently being treated for a malignant melanoma in London, which first caught the attention of her dermatologist after she underwent a single mastectomy last July. “The Duchess wants to thank the entire medical team which has supported her, particularly her dermatologist whose vigilance ensured the illness was detected when it was,” her representative said. “She believes her experience underlines the importance of checking the size, shape, colour and texture, and emergence of new moles that can be a sign of melanoma.” Having recently spent some time at Mayrlife clinic, a medical health resort in Altaussee, Austria, the…

NEW NEIGHBOUR After years of fighting, which is still ongoing, Resnicow has listed his apartment just below Theroux’s for sale. The Washington Place pad has a price tag of just over $6 million. Let’s hope Theroux gets on better with the new owner. Her most famous role in Friends saw Jennifer Aniston’s character, Rachel Green, become best mates with her neighbours inside their New York City apartment block. But it didn’t turn out to be a case of real life imitating art for the actress and her ex-husband when they tried to call the Big Apple home. Justin Theroux, 52, claims to have been subjected to “torture and trauma” during a bitter feud with his lawyer neighbour after starting renovations on the Greenwich Village apartment in 2015 for him and…

NEW BEGINNINGS “I’ve had a very interesting year,” Vergara told People of her split from Manganiello. “I don’t want to say ‘bad’ or anything like that, but it’s been very …difficult.” But the actress has found solace in her relationship with son Manolo, who she hopes will make her a granny in the future. Sofía Vergara stayed out of the spotlight for months after announcing her split from husband Joe Manganiello in July 2023. But she’s emerged from her post-break-up cocoon to promote her new Netflix miniseries, Griselda, in which she plays the titular role of Griselda Blanco, a woman who ran a huge drug cartel in 1970s and ’80s Colombia. What fans didn’t expect from her press interviews were frank admissions about the shock divorce and how she learned…

George Clooney BASEBALL Is there anything Clooney can’t do? He was an elite baseball player back in high school and even tried out for a spot on the Cincinnati Reds back in 1977. In the end, he didn’t love it all that much. “I really thought, my whole life, trying out, that I was going to be a professional baseball player,” Clooney told David Letterman. Thankfully for us, Hollywood called. The Rock FOOTBALL Why aren’t we surprised that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was a major jock? Prior to becoming one of the world’s highest paid actors – via the wrestling ring – the star played college football for the Miami Hurricanes and was on the 1991 national championship team. “I fell in love with the game,” he told Sports Illustrated.…

For something that affects half the population, menopause remains a strangely mysterious condition and there’s a lot we’re still learning. IT STARTS WITH PERIMENOPAUSE Many common “meno” symptoms can actually be attributed to perimenopause. “Perimenopause is the time leading up to the last menstrual period,” says Dr Sneha Wadhwani, national clinical director of Evoca Women’s Health. It’s during this time women often start experiencing hot flushes, irregular periods, mood swings and other common signs often associated with the change. Perimenopause usually takes about four to six years, but it can last anywhere from a few months to a decade. MENOPAUSE TAKES ONE DAY The actual menopause process is very brief – it’s simply the moment your period stops. “Once you go through an entire 12 months without having a period,…

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Fey says she has thought about a sequel which would catch up with the original characters. “I have thought about what Regina is doing now and if she is really fully reformed from her time in high school,” reveals Fey. Twenty years after comedic legend Tina Fey unleashed Queen Bee Regina George and her Plastics on the world, the Saturday Night Live alum has headed back to high school with a musical reboot of the beloved film Mean Girls. The 2004 version was so fetch, with its highly quotable moments and launching the careers of the likes of Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried.

Poured into a black, ab-baring Alexandre Vauthier dress, Lindsay Lohan stepped out at the premiere of the new Mean Girls movie in New York on January 8, marking her first red-carpet appearance since giving birth to son Luai in July. It’s been two decades since Lohan made a splash playing new girl Cady Heron in the iconic high school comedy.

As the hot favourite to pick up the Best Actress Oscar at the 2003 Academy Awards, Nicole Kidman should have been the belle of the ball. But the actress recently admitted that just as her career was hitting a new peak, her personal life was at an all-time low. Kidman, now 56, was nominated for the prestigious accolade for playing Virginia Woolf, who struggled with depression, in The Hours. When the big night rolled around, she had only recently finalised her divorce from Tom Cruise. “I was struggling with things in my personal life, yet my professional life was going so well,” she told in Dave Karger’s upcoming book 50 Oscar Nights, which was shared with People magazine ahead of its release. “That’s what happens, right?” As she took to…

Sara, 29 ‘I’m a little fiery’ Born in Colombia before she moved to Canada as a small child, Sara has lived in Australia for the last eight years. An open communicator with a short fuse, which she blames on her Colombian heritage, she is worried that she unintentionally offends people with her honesty. Sara knows exactly what she wants, which can cause her to dismiss potential partners early on if they don’t meet her high expectations. She sees her perfect match as a light-haired man and is after a “pretty boy” instead of a “gym bro”.

Have you ever jumped out of an airplane? Was it for that rush of adrenaline, or was it to tick skydiving off your bucket list? After a couple of collectively tough years, there has been a huge spike in people taking the plunge. And it’s all in the name of adventure therapy. From spending weeks trekking in sub-30 temperatures, to canyoning in untouched regions of rural Australia, and even hikes in South America, Brooke Nolan is one of those people using extreme adventure as an essential coping mechanism for trauma. According to the Blue Mountainsbased marketing manager and psychologist Dr Eric Brymer, it works. Brymer specialises in the impact of adventure activities on health and wellbeing, and tells WHO that they make the right participant feel happier, more self-confident and…

With her Italian heritage and being an Italian teacher by trade, Aussie author Jenna Lo Bianco didn’t have to think too hard about where to set her debut romance novel, The Italian Marriage, the first tome under her three-book publishing deal with Pan MacMillan Australia. “All three of my novels are steeped in language and culture. So much so, in fact, that my plotting and character development all stem from the real Italian world,” Bianco explained. “This gives my books not only authentic Italian vibes, but also ensures that readers will learn a thing or two about Italy, its language, history and culture along the way.” It also doesn’t hurt that Italians are renowned for their passion for all things romance. “No-one loves quite like the Italians,” Bianco shared. “They…

What was the last meal you cooked? My breakfast skillet baked eggs. This dish is a regular at my place. It’s more or less a potato, sweet potato and onion hash – crisp them up big time, then add bacon, jalapeños, some baby spinach at the end and crack some eggs over it, and put it in the oven. Delicious-bloody-mwah. What was the last thing you learned about yourself? I have a serious addiction to my phone – like most of us. So I’ve put measures in place to cut back, and also just enjoying more moments outside, with friends, etc. It’s funny, some people get really annoyed when you don’t reply straight away so you almost have to retrain some friends and family too. Last time you stayed up…
