who’s news Following a harrowing few days in the stand, Cassie Ventura’s husband, Alex Fine, praised her for showing “strength and bravery” as she testified against ex Sean “Diddy” Combs while just days away from giving birth to their child. “There has been speculation online surrounding how it must feel for me to sit there and listen to my wife’s testimony,” a statement from Fine read. “I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass.” Combs, 55, was arrested last September and is on trial for racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. If found guilty, he faces spending life in prison. Ventura, 38, was forced to discuss the most difficult days of her life in front of a…

PRETTY IN PINK Johnson donned Gucci while attending the festival for Splitsville. “It’s a very soulful, unique comedy about two couples and the challenging dynamics of their relationships,” the actress told Deadline. CINEMA’S SULTRIEST RED CARPET IS BACK, AS STARS DESCEND ON THE FILM FESTIVAL W ith less than 24 hours to go before the red carpet was rolled out for the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival, stylists were sent scrambling on May 12 when an updated dress code hit the film festival’s official website. “For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet,” it read, before adding that voluminous outfits – “in particular those with a large train” – were also prohibited. “The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting…

Since her win in the first season of survivalist series Alone Australia, Gina Chick has become accustomed to sharing her story with the country. Indeed, when WHO catches up with the 55-year-old adventurer, she’s just come home from a regional book tour to promote her bestselling memoir, We Are the Stars. “I love heading out to the regions where I give book talks in libraries,” she says. “I grew up in a small town where people often don’t go for tours. I was very clear when We Are the Stars came out that I wanted to hang out with people in the regions.” This week, Australians – and Chick, herself – will learn more about her as she takes part in Who Do You Think You Are? for an episode…

Chaos has erupted in the camogie world after a major final was recently postponed indefinitely when both teams refused to wear the mandated skorts. The Irish sport, which is the women’s version of hurling, had garnered attention in the weeks leading up to the game when players began protesting the current uniform requirements. And with less than 16 hours to go before throw-in, the Munster final between Cork and Waterford on May 10 was cancelled when athletes from both teams revealed that they would be “togged out wearing shorts” for the game. “We feel completely let down,” a statement from the teams released later that day read. “Both panels had meticulously planned to peak for today. Training schedules and workload will now have to be readjusted, while not even knowing…

MIND GAMES “It took a lot of mental resilience, support and self-belief that I could do it and deserved to be there,” Fox says of the lead-up to Paris. Jess Fox is no stranger to pushing through the hard things. Most recently, the six-time canoeing Olympic medallist took to social media to share a video of herself overcoming her toughest training days. In the video, the 30-year-old – known online for her sunny disposition – can be seen crying in her car before an altitude training session. Fox tells WHO that these “painful” sessions increase her lactic acid build-up during exercise. “I’ve been in this chunky physical training block and there have been several moments where I’ve thought, ‘Just come up with an excuse,’ or, ‘You don’t have to do…

who’s news George Wendt has been remembered as a “well-loved friend” and a “doting family man” after the Cheers legend passed away on May 20, at the age of 76. In a statement, wife Bernadette and his three children also described the star, who died peacefully in his sleep, as a “confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him”. They added, “He will be missed forever.” Also an uncle to actor Jason Sudeikis, Wendt played fan favourite Norm Peterson on Cheers from 1982 to1993 – a role that earned him six consecutive Emmy nominations. “I have some characteristics in common with him besides our fondness for beer,” he once said of his most memorable character. “But I think I’m a lot happier than Norm.” Ted Danson, 77,…

Don’t try to get between Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. The singer, 40, was caught on film telling off one concert-goer during her recent show in Nevada. “I know why you’re here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man … you’ve been doing it for months, ever since the residency,” Perry said to a man while crouching down on May 17. “You didn’t come to see me play.” Perry further had a go at the offender. “He don’t want you, Kyle. I’m his wife. I’m his, he’s mine … stay the f--k away,” she said. However, reports have emerged suggesting it was all part of the act. It has been suggested that the bit was scripted and served as a segue for the next song, her 2024 single ‘I’m His,…

Late last year, Miley Cyrus told fans she was heading into 2025 ready to “move on and start anew”, hinting she had been doing some healing while working on a new album. “This is one of my favourite parts of not just the creative process but the way life has chosen to teach me,” the 32-year-old shared on Instagram. “At times it can be a heartbreaking process but I’ve always known the pieces to come back together and create something beautiful.” And beauty she has created, with the singer set to release her forthcoming ninth studio album, the aptly titled Something Beautiful, on May 30. “It’s a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music,” she explained to Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year of…

While TikTokers are obsessed with hitting their protein target, did you know most Australians don’t eat enough fibre? Chances are you might be one of them. While constipation is one of the most commonly known indicators of low fibre consumption, there are a handful of others that fly under the radar. But what actually is dietary fibre? Nutrition Australia describes it as “the indigestible parts of plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds and legumes”. Women need to consume around 25 grams of it each day, while men should aim for about 30 grams. Pip Reed, a functional nutritionist who specialises in weight loss, female hormone conditions, gut health, skin conditions and healthy ageing, says that if you experience one or more of the below symptoms, it’s worth…

who’s news Princess Diana might have done it in a black off-the-shoulder mini, but Natalie Portman opted for an itty-bitty black bikini for her “revenge dress” outfit. The 43-yearold showed ex-husband Benjamin Millepied exactly what he’s missing when she hit the coastal cliffs of the French Riviera on May 18. With her incredible physique on display, Portman appeared carefree and ready for some fun – taking to the tall diving board at the famed Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. The actress was all smiles as she jumped into the crystal clear waters below. The outing comes more than a year after Portman’s divorce from her ex-husband – and father of her two children, Aleph, 13, and Amalia, 8 – was finalised. The former couple filed for divorce in July 2023…

Seventeen years after the death of Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams made some rare comments about the father of her daughter Matilda while speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast. After co-host Dax Shepard said the Aussie actor, who died of an accidental drug overdose in 2008 at the age of 28, was “one of the most special boys” he has ever met, Williams agreed. “So special, so special,” Williams, 44, replied, before adding, “Thank God there’s Matilda.” Shepard described Ledger as having “this heart here that’s just leaking out everywhere”. Williams added that he had “an incredible sensitivity”. Ledger and Williams met on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2004, before welcoming their only child together just over a year later. They split in 2007. “We had a baby. But I…

Former US president Joe Biden has revealed he has been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of cancer. The 82-year-old has prostate cancer that has metastasised to the bone, his office announced on May 18. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,” a statement said. ”The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.” The diagnosis came after the retired politician, who left public office in January, saw his doctor last week after having urinary symptoms. Colleagues of Biden were quick to send messages of support as he faced his health battle. “Joe is a fighter – and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience and optimism that have…

FAMILY FRACTURED Ryan and Ava have not been seen together publicly since 2023, when they attended Deacon’s album party. Even then, the pair weren’t pictured in the same frame – with Ava opting to pose separately with her mum and brother. There’s no denying that being the offspring of a celebrity certainly comes with its perks, but Ryan Phillippe has insisted there was no nepotism involved when his son was cast in Prime Video series Motorheads. Already recruited for the lead role of Logan Maddox in the coming-of-age drama, the 50-year-old revealed he was taken aback when the idea of tapping Deacon to play his character’s younger brother in flashbacks was broached. “I was like, ‘Wow, OK,’” Ryan recently recalled to People magazine about his son with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon.…

Slip, slop, slap is a familiar refrain here in Australia, but from Tina Madsen-Walcott’s perspective, while people are good at slipping on sunglasses and slopping on their sunscreen, slapping on a hat is the missing link. And she would know, because over the last 25 years, she has become the last word on headwear with her seven different brands selling around 400,000 hats in Australia alone every year. It started back in 2000 with the birth of her first daughter, Sophia. Tina decided to leave her job in the pharmaceutical industry and join husband Peter’s hat-making business. It turned out to be a decision she would never regret. “It fell into my lap but it has become my passion,” Tina, 59, from the NSW Central Coast, tells WHO. And part…

THE CLASSIC When we say loafer, you’d likely think of a penny loafer with a tapered almond toe, slight heel and strap. If one thing is certain, it’s that this loafer is a fail-safe classic. Style with pleated trousers for a tailored look. For something a little more fun, pair with socks and a skirt. THE MULE If you thought loafers couldn’t get any easier to wear, think again. These bad boys are backless! Better yet? Thanks to their fitting silhouette, you can dress up mule loafers with tailored pants or pare back with jeans and a knitted jumper. While the colder months often call for boots and sneakers, we’re officially dubbing this year a loafer winter. No, these shoes aren’t just for school kids or grandpas. The humble loafer…

TOM FORD LOST CHERRY EAU DE PARFUM While cherries are summer fruits, we believe cherry liqueurs are best enjoyed in winter. Here, Tom Ford’s signature blend of tonka bean and peru balsam enhances the comforting cherry and almond aroma to make a statement scent.
