I will be honest, I’ve never really thought of myself as a rev-head. But, as the Monaco Grand Prix approaches I’m a little … invested, let’s say.Why? Because over the last few years, I’ve been gripped by the antics of the Formula 1 stars involved in the Netflix phenomenon that is DrivetoSurvive – so much so that I’ve even started to read up about the on-and-off-track developments in-between seasons of the show! And, as we like to share the love here at WHO, we thought now was a good time to bring you a six-page special on the drivers’secrets – and it includes the very hot topic of Carlos Sainz’s hair. Turn to page 26 and delve in. You’re welcome! Also in this issue, Drew Barrymore gets candid about a…

The whole show was a whirlwind,” Joe Bobbin chuckles as he chats to WHO over the phone as his Farmer Wants a Wife journey comes to an end.“It was really about trying to find what mattered and where we’re at and who would best suit me.” The cattle and sheep farmer from Bombala, New South Wales has become a stand out character on this year’s show, and he observes wryly that people have started to recognise him“wanting selfies and stuff like that, so [my life has] changed quite a bit actually”. Now at the final hurdle in his quest for love, the 33-year-old has nothing but praise for the ladies – Sarah, 31, and Keely, 28 – who he selected as his final two. “I had a feeling that Sarah…

Shaky film footage, posted to Instagram, showed Hailey Bieber looking radiant in a white lace gown as she and her baseball cap-wearing husband Justin renewed their vows in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii after six years of marriage. There was a surprise for fans of the couple too, with the video revealing a blossoming baby bump. A little Bieber is on the way! When Justin, 30, and Hailey, 27, shared the photographs and video, to which Justin added his own vocals, it caused an internet frenzy. One image showed the duo with their hands cradling Hailey’s bump, their fingers adorned with platinum and diamond Tiffany &Co. Forever bands. The couple married in a secret ceremony in September 2018 in a New York City courthouse before exchanging vows in front of…

“My daughter, who’s about to turn 12… really wants to be 16…” Drew Barrymore was 7 when E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial made her a movie star in 1982. Within the year, the self-described “party girl” was hitting nightclubs with her mum. She developed a drinking problem that saw her go to rehab at age 13, followed by an 18-month stint in a psychiatric hospital, where she was treated for alcohol and drug addiction, before being emancipated from her parents at age 14. It’s little wonder that in raising daughters Olive, 11, and Frankie, 10, with her ex Will Kopelman, the star is a little wary about the parenting path that lays ahead. “My daughter who is … about to turn 12, she really wants to be 16. Going on 25,” Barrymore,…

FERRARI Carlos Sainz, 29 ‘My future is something I’m not thinking about’ Undoubtedly a large proportion of Drive to Survive viewers tune into see Sainz behind the wheel of a Ferrari. But his time with the team is soon up as he’ll be replaced by Lewis Hamilton. Fans are keenly awaiting an update, but it’s not the only thing on their minds. On the P1 with Matt and Tommy podcast, Sainz was asked how he keeps his hair “so damn perfect” under a helmet. “I normally shower a lot. I’m very hygenic in that sense,” he smiled. “I only shampoo it once … If I do it too much it gets too fluffy,” he went on, adding, “Never conditioner.” Charles Leclerc, 26 ‘The best is yet to come’ Leclerc joined…

5 TH ANNIVERSARY • ANNIVERSARY • ANNIVERSARY BIG REGRETS Looking back, Aron Lane, who was one of the six guys vying for Miriam’s affections on TV, admits he wishes he’d handled things differently. “Seeing clips of the show, the one of us laughing, haunts me,” he admitted to the Daily Mail. Headlining her own show in 2004, Miriam Rivera was both fearless and groundbreaking as the first transgender star on reality TV. But she was also widely mocked, heavily exploited and went on to pay a steep price for her fame. Fifteen years after There’s Something About Miriam aired on Sky in the UK, Miriam was found dead at her Mexico home under suspicious circumstances. Local police labelled it as a suicide at the time, but five years on, those…

HOT TO TROT TikToker Mia Lind (@exactlyliketheothergirls) has redefined our daily strolls with her Hot Girl Walk. According to Lind, this is a 6.4km outdoor walk, where walkers tune into an inspirational podcast or motivational playlist. But here’s the tricky part: you’re only allowed to think about what you’re grateful for, your goals and how hot you are. DOES IT ACTUALLY IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH? According to healthdirect.gov.au positive self-talk can improve stress management, help with chronic pain and motivate you to overcome obstacles. While there’s no doubt that a Hot Girl Walk could make a difference on some days, on others, it might not. The trick is to engage in a mental health care plan that works for you and speak to a professional if necessary. SEX SELLS Three…

Winter is that delightful time of year for guilt-free, cosy couch sessions, but when it comes to our hair? Well, let’s just say your strands are probably less than thrilled about the impending chill. “In the winter time we’re exposed to more heating, the air outside isn’t as humid and our thirst reflex is reduced so you can often forget to hydrate properly,” explains Jordan Mylius, founder of Hairification. “Add in those extra hot showers and it’s a recipe for a general state of dehydration, which can see hair become dehydrated, brittle, frizzy, more difficult to manage and also more prone to breakage.” Yikes! No need to panic though, as there are a host of tricks and treatments that will keep your tresses in check all season long. Here’s your…

ROLE REVERSAL While they’re very happy in their roles, they do occasionally wonder what it would be like to sing the other’s songs. Monsma says her choice would be ‘The Wizard and I’, while for Adams it’s the emotional journey of ‘No-one Mourns The Wicked’. The close friendship between their characters in the smash-hit musical Wicked is a complicated one, but thankfully for Courtney Monsma and Sheridan Adams, theirs is a lot simpler. Born out of mutual admiration and forged during the past 12 months since they landed the coveted stage roles of Glinda and Elphaba, the pair have not only become close friends but like each other’s family. “My first impression of Sheridan was from seeing one of her singing videos online and thinking what a beautiful voice she…

Charlize Theron has been candid about her dislike of her Mad Max: Fury Road co-star, Tom Hardy. And now the 2015 film’s director, George Miller, has weighed in on went down between the very famous actors on the set of the film. “I’m an optimist, so I saw their behaviour as mirroring their characters, where they had to learn to cooperate in order to ensure mutual survival,” Miller, 79, told The Telegraph in a new interview. Camera operator Mark Goellnicht claimed in the 2022 book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, that the discord stemmed from Hardy’s tardiness. He claimed on one occasion, Hardy was three hours late to set, which led Theron to ask, “How disrespectful are you?” Miller, who said…

The long-whispered rumours of a third Downton Abbey movie have finally been confirmed with a sweet video of the cast reuniting for a table read. “It feels amazing. Atad emotional,” said Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary. “It’s wonderful all to be back together again. You come back together, and it’s like no time has passed at all.” The clip also showed that Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern and Allen Leech will be reprising their roles. Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti, who had a guest role playing Harold Levinson in the TV series, will also be back. There will be a new face too, with Joely Richardson joining the line up. While the news was exciting for fans, it might also mark the end of the saga, with Imelda Staunton recently calling…

Singer Jewel and Kevin Costner first sparked romance rumours back in December when they were snapped getting cosy at a fundraiser for the singer’s Inspiring Children Foundation while on Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. “They check a lot of boxes for each other,” a source told Us Weekly at the time of the pair’s “organic” connection that occurred around seven months after Costner’s divorce from his second wife, Christine Baumgartner. “The consensus is that he’s found a real keeper in Jewel and that this has the makings of something that could be very special.” Asked about her relationship with the Yellowstone actor, 69, Jewel, who turns 50 on May 23, coyly told People magazine that her happiness doesn’t depend on a man. “I’ve found love, and…

When Tracy Hall started dating Max Tavita after meeting him on a dating app in 2016, the divorced mum thought she’d found the love of her life. Almost instantly she felt a click with the handsome financial investor. “We had similar interests in exercising and being in the outdoors,” Tracy tells WHO. “He told me he had a really big, stressful job so in his downtime, he just wanted to run and surf and those are the things I really like doing. We just spent more time together and things progressed really quickly.” So when Max offered to help her set up a self-managed super fund, Tracy had no reason to think anything other than he was using his expertise to look after her best interests and their future. The…

There’s nothing more rewarding than preparing food that you’ve grown yourself, and if you live in an apartment you don’t have to miss out. Garden Hacks author Filip Johansson reveals how you can turn a used plastic bottle into mini microgreen oasis. Microgreens have become very trendy. The word may sound high-tech, but they’re actually nothing more than delicate seedlings of regular plants. As they shoot up through the soil, they are bursting with nutrients. Not only are they delicious, they’re good for you, too! You can grow them for next to nothing. Skip the seeds from the garden centre; all you need can be found at the supermarket for a tenth of the price. And with a mini greenhouse made from a bottle, there is hardly any labour involved.…

What drew you to this project? I love people and I know everyone has got a story to tell. So this is a great opportunity to hit the road and meet some people I probably wouldn’t [have met] and find out a bit about them and their story. We really do see some extraordinary things on the show. What was your favourite? Do you remember when they wrote ‘No War’ on the Sydney Opera House? We had the pail that was used and the paint was put in [for that]. It was so crazy sitting there with that, next to the Opera House, doing the interview. Holy hell, this was part of it all. I think in terms of global significance and meaning, that’s the first one that jumps out.…

Get the cosmos ready because Carrie Bradshaw and the girls are back and putting their best foot forward for And Just Like That… Key cast members returned to the streets of Manhattan earlier this month to film scenes for Season 3 of the hit spin-off series. Looking completely the part in a pink skirt reminiscent of the iconic tutu her character Carrie wears in the opening credits of Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker was joined on the shoot by co-stars Cathy Ang and Alexa Swinton, who play Lily and Rock Goldenblatt, on May 10. Days later, filming took Kristin Davis and Nicole Ari Parker, who portray Charlotte York and Lisa Todd Wexley, to Central Park to shoot a scene during which their characters watched a children’s baseball game.…

After admitting to feeling “out of my comfort zone” and looking “like I just crawled out of the gutter” during the early days of her career, Aussie singer Tones and I has unveiled a whole new look – and her fans are full of praise. “Hot, talented, beautiful, gorg etc. etc.,” singer Thelma Plum commented alongside a gallery of new snaps the ‘Dance Monkey’ record-breaker shared on Instagram, while Dannii Minogue called her a “goddess”. Other fans gushed: “You look so stunning I can’t even deal”, and “A vision. So proud of you.” More fans praised Tones and I, born Toni Watson, for showing off her figure – which has typically been drowned in oversized clothes since she burst onto the music scene in 2019 – in a curve-hugging black…

In marriage, and now with the kids, you give away the selfishness of only looking out for yourself,” George Clooney, 63, once told People. It’s a very personal change in mindset that’s been important to Clooney and his wife, British barrister, Amal, 46 – and now it’s leading to a big decision about their future. George has previously spoken about a desire to slow down for the couple’s children, twins Ella and Alexander, who turn 7 on June 6. In late 2021, he told the WTF with Marc Maron podcast that he and Amal had been “working a lot” that year and had plans to minimise their commitments moving forward. “It doesn’t mean [Amal is] going to stop taking the cases that she wants, it just means she’s not going…

Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer were the 2023 Logie Awards’ unofficial prom king and queen, winning both the male and female Outstanding Actor categories. The Colin from Accounts creators and actors have proven to be a match made in heaven on and off screen, after marrying in secret during the pandemic in 2021. That same year, they celebrated the arrival of their daughter, Joni. But in 2024, their other child, Colin from Accounts, will return for its second season – much to the delight of their legions of fans. Here, WHO chats to Dyer, 35, and her hubby Brammall, 48, about undiagnosed Stockholm syndrome, their second wedding, and what it’s like working on one of Australian TV’s best series. Is it ever too much living and working together? Do you…

Tiffani Wood When you’re trekking, climbing, balancing, and swinging your way through 180 kilometres of tough terrain to reach 2400 metres in New Zealand’s South Island, the tears will flow, naturally. But what’s essential for any great physical and mental endeavour is a great soundtrack, which is where Tiffani Wood comes in. As a former member of Aussie girlband, Bardot, the 46-year-old has some pipes on her – and while it’s easy to picture her spinning around on a mountain top Sound of Music style, Wood’s journey on The Summit was more cathartic than theatrical. As a mother of six, Wood has put her career, and life, on the backburner for more than a decade. Now, she’s reclaiming her sense of self, one treacherous step at a time. “I thought,…

Let’s pretend you’re answering an email at work. You’ve read your response twice, used the right combo of professional yet friendly language and checked who’s on the CC list. So, have you left anything important out? Spelling ? Grammar? Well, if you’re like 80 per cent of office workers, the answer is that you’ve forgotten to breathe. “Email apnoea, also known as screen apnoea, is a phenomenon where individuals unconsciously hold their breath or breathe shallowly while reading or responding to emails or engaging with digital screens,” explains Nancy Sokarno, a psychologist from We Lysn. Unlike sleep apnoea (which is caused by airway obstruction), email apnoea is caused by good old-fashioned stress. “Linda Stone, a former executive at Microsoft, coined the term in 2008 after observing this behaviour in herself…

From scrubbing toilets in a pub for extra cash to becoming a jewel in the crown of the Netflix blockbuster Bridgerton, it’s a storyline worthy of its own TV show. Hannah Dodd, 29, has stepped into the limelight as the potential “diamond of the season” Francesca Bridgerton and become a favourite debutante with fans. In an interview with Daily Mail, Dodd recalled a time where she balanced jobs in the entertainment industry with her gig as a cleaner in a pub. And balance is what she did – the day after shooting a Burberry advert with Romeo Beckham, she was back in the pub. “They called me Cinderella because after the shoot I went and scrubbed the toilets the next day,”she said. Relegated to the background in the first two…

Australian author Lisa Ireland has many fond memories of watching classic old movies with her mother while growing up. “My favourites are Father of the Bride starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Day’s Calamity Jane, and Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck,” she tells WHO. So, having written a few contemporary stories already, it was only going to be a matter of time until Ireland took a nostalgic journey back to the glamorous and intoxicating Golden Age of Hollywood in the 1950s. In The Studio Girls, she tells the story of four talented young women who become best friends while living at a boarding house for movie hopefuls called the Hollywood Studio Club. “The Hollywood Studio Club was a real place that was established in the early…
