MARITAL STRIFE? West and Bianca, his wife of almost two years, were hit with break-up rumours earlier this month when a source told TMZ the couple had been informing friends they’d split. However, the pair have since been seen engaging in PDAs in Tokyo. Kanye West is facing bombshell allegations from his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta, who, on October 8, filed an amended complaint as part of a wrongful termination lawsuit she lodged in June. In the new 88-page complaint, the former Only Fans star and fitness model, who worked with the rapper from 2021 to 2022, alleges that West, 47, committed “sexual battery” against her after she was drugged at a studio session in Santa Monica co-hosted by him and Sean “Diddy” Combs. The latter is now in jail…

Reese Witherspoon’s look-alike daughter, Ava Phillippe, has lowered her guard about her own internal struggles in a video uploaded to Instagram. To coincide with World Mental Health Day on October 10, the 25-year-old shared that her life was changed working with “amazing ” mental health professionals and therapists when she was a kid and a teenager, which had inspired her to want to become a therapist herself. Now, she has partnered with the Kids Mental Health Foundation for their Take 5 campaign, which urges people to take a few minutes to check in with the kids in their lives. “We should all take time to check in on those most important to us and how they’re feeling, especially though, the people who are a little earlier on in their journey,”…

Alyssa James didn’t have the happy and carefree childhood she deserved. That was snatched away from her at just 6 years old when she was first sexually assaulted. “I was so young,” Alyssa tells WHO.  “I don’t know who I would have been or how I might have chosen to live my life if it hadn’t happened to me. It has impacted every single moment since.” After becoming a mother to two boys as an adult, Alyssa, 45, sought professional help to deal with her trauma. Working with a therapist, she made the brave decision to not only confront her perpetrator and tell her family, but to report what had happened to the police in late 2019. Within a few months, the man, who was close to the family, was…

CRANBERRY CRUSH While a classic red lip will never go out of style, the trending colour of the season is a darker, fruitier hue. “Red can scare women, so a subtle cranberry undertone on the lips or eyes is a great way to get impact in a wearable way,” says makeup artist Hilary Holmes. This shade pairs perfectly with a smoky eye for any after-dark occasion. PEARLESCENT COMPLEXION Also referred to as “glass skin”, a shimmering and translucent complexion remains popular as we move into summer. “To mimic that glossy, pearl finish, it’s all about polished skin,” explains Holmes. “Definitely use a glycolic toner pre-makeup to remove any dead skin debris that can texturise turise the makeup.” Follow up with a glow-inducing foundation stick…

Almost two months after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, she sat down for her first in-depth interview. The chat, which was conducted by comedian Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine, allowed Lopez to reflect on recent events and her life as a whole. “I felt like, whoa, I got here. I’m good. I did all the work and look at where I am,” Lopez said about the February release of her ninth studio album, This Is Me… Now. “And then it was like my whole f--king world exploded,” she continued. The album was released just two months before her cited date of separation from Affleck. The couple reconnected in 2021 after having been engaged once before in 2002. They seemed more committed than ever, but the fairytale didn’t…

WORLDS APART As Meghan stayed in LA, Harry visited his Sentebale charity in the African nation of Lesotho. “Deep down people still love Prince Harry, and they want to love him, I think they’re just very, very disappointed in him,” royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun. D uring their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle compared herself and Prince Harry to salt and pepper shakers. “You never move one without the other,” she said. “We always move together.” However, those days now seem firmly in the past as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex forge ahead on very different paths. During a jam-packed fortnight starting in late September, Harry, 40, looked to be in his element as he got back to his roots and carried out a series…

Saoirse Ronan and her new husband, Jack Lowden, aren’t just collaborators in love and life, they’re also in sync on an artistic level – and their latest endeavour is expected to garner yet another Oscar nomination for the Irish actress. It’s a partnership that supports Ronan, who turned 30 in April, as she continues to blossom career-wise. For her new film The Outrun, Ronan added producer to her résumé after Slow Horses star Lowden, 34, encouraged her to turn a book set in his home country into a movie. The book – an autobiographical tome by Amy Liptrot – centres around the author’s Orkney Islands upbringing, which was shrouded in poor mental health, and her adulthood, which was consumed by addiction issues. “He is a very proud Scotsman and so…

MISSING MYSTERY The wedding gown worn by Minogue is stored away under lock and key, but has been put on display for exhibitions in Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart and the UK over the years. The shoes, veil and gloves have long since disappeared. While Jason Donovan insists he doesn’t actually have a shrine at home dedicated to his and Kylie Minogue’s characters on Neighbours, Scott and Charlene, the actor confesses he did take something with him when he left Ramsay Street behind in 1989. “I kept Scott’s skateboard, which I thought was iconic,” he tells WHO over the phone from his home in London. “I still have it, too, but I definitely don’t have Charlene’s wedding dress,” he adds with a laugh. Donovan’s quip refers to his hilarious new Optus 7…

The problem with going to the beach is when the kids transport half of it back home with them in the car. It was something Suzanne Horton was forever dealing with – as a family of surfers, she was always vacuuming sand out of the car, brushing it off feet and trying, without success, to prevent it being trodden through the house. “We’d just had astro turf put down in our backyard and I started taking an off-cut out with us in the car for the kids to brush their feet on after going to the beach,” she tells WHO. “It worked so much better than carpet. The blades worked like a brush, removing all the grit, and the kids liked how it felt, too.” Her boys, Josh, 19, and…

You know what we say: if it’s good enough for Dua Lipa, it’s good enough for us! No, we’re not referencing the ‘Houdini’ singer’s red-carpet looks or makeup routine, we’re talking about her drink of choice: matcha. The star shared pictures of herself enjoying a cup of the bright green brew while on her recent European summer tour. And matcha’s celebrity endorsements don’t end there. It’s also popular with Kourtney Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow and Bella Hadid, while Zendaya has credited it as her go-to caffeine kick. Though you likely didn’t know what matcha was five years ago, today you can order it from almost any cafe. Flavoured variations of the drink also have the green light on social media – strawberry iced matcha has 48 million posts onTikTok. But as…

Tell us about Judy. She’s got a lot going on in her life… She’s a housewife living a contented life, but her world gets turned upside down when she’s sort of forced into the work space and finds that she has talent there, which is a bit of a revolution in her family dynamic. And she grows as a person in that context. Even as modern women, I think we can relate to that chapter of change. And I think that’s what the story is getting at. It’s set in 1979. How did you relate to that time period? I kind of grew up in a bit more of an eclectic environment, so it wasn’t exactly my world, but it was definitely my generation – the generation that I sort…

If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to provide rich drama, it’s family friction. And the dynamic between brothers can be especially contentious. A fraught fraternal relationship is at the centre of upcoming Netflix miniseries Black Rabbit, which stars Jude Law as Jake Friedken, the owner of a New York City hotspot who allows his hot mess of a brother, Vince, played by Jason Bateman, back in his life. Unfortunately, Jake’s attempts at a harmonious reconciliation are marred by Vince’s baggage, resulting in escalating dangers that threaten to bring down everything Jake’s built. In a recent episode of his podcast SmartLess, Bateman spilled that his co-host, Sean Hayes, had already watched the upcoming series – and he gave it a five-star review. “It’s so f--king great …so great,” Hayes said, before…

CHER SHOW The shows have had some big-name music guests over the years, including Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. Cher looked just as amazing as the models as she performed at this year’s event, as Bella Hadid showcased a stunning red number alongside her. It was one of the most coveted bookings for models around the world in its prime. But the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show found itself on the outer as the world called for more inclusivity, body positivity and empowerment for women in the industry. Sample size models in bedazzled bras, feathers and intimates that no-one would ever really wear no longer made the cut. In 2018, the show faced its worst ever TV ratings and that was the end of that. Until now. The feathers are gone…

Yes, that really is blonde bombshell Sydney Sweeney. The Anyone But You actress is taking on the role of female boxing star Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. Australian director David Michôd is also working on the film, which is yet to be titled. The role, which adds another dimension to Sweeney’s already varied roster of characters, has required a dramatic transformation. In pictures from the set, she can be seen with a shaggy brunette hairdo – a stark change from her usual golden locks. Martin was a trailblazing US female boxer, but away from the ring, she dealt with personal issues including toxic relationships and addiction. Production on the movie is currently underway in Charlotte, North Carolina.…

Although Dover is based in Adelaide and MacPherson in Sydney, the host of podcast Mother on my Own revealed they “see a future together”. “Everything I…

Disneyland certainly lived up to its nickname as “the Happiest Place on Earth”, judging by the smiles on the faces of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. The star couple visited the theme park with their daughter, Charlotte, 15, and 12-year-old son, Rocky, on October 12.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, 47, and her actor husband, 48, also posed for a snap together in front of the Haunted Mansion. Both of the children celebrated birthdays in late September, which may have been the reason for their visit to the theme park in Anaheim. Their proud mum posted tributes to both her kids on their big days…

Take the trend for a spin by adding a subtle accessory like dainty socks or a hair tie, or go big and bold in a statement skirt or top.…

TikTok loves shiny new skincare ingredients, and recently a compound called hypochlorous acid (HOCI) has gone viral as a solution for pretty much everything. Hypochlorous acid sprays from beauty brands like Tower28 (the brand refers to the ingredient as the “Windex” of the skincare world) have been popping up in the bags of TikTokers, who are using them for everything from the post-sweat pimples that form after hot yoga, to antidotes for gross aeroplane-circulated air. However, naysayers of the trend claim, “It’s just bleach,” and a potent enough disinfectant to be used on razors and gym equipment. So is hypochlorous acid for our barbells or our faces? And should we be dousing ourselves in it? FIRSTLY, WHAT IS HYPOCHLOROUS ACID? HOCI is a weak acid with antimicrobial properties. While you’d…

RENO RACE As well as planning a wedding, Lee and his fiancée, Rebecca Harding, and are in the middle of a massive renovation of an 1876 mansion that’s set to take another two years. “I hope we get married before the end of the build,” Lee shares. There’s an abundance of reality TV shows these days, and while The Hundred might not immediately spring to mind as falling into that category, host Andy Lee reckons it’s the “most real show going around”. Apart from Alone Australia. “That’s pretty brutal,” he reckons. “Reality TV shows aren’t that real anymore,” he tells WHO. “The people on those shows know why they’re there – they want to get more Instagram followers. I underestimated how comfortable everyone [on The Hundred] would be joining in…
