IT’S NOW SIX-AND-A-HALF YEARS since Julian Assange walked into the Ecuador embassy in London to claim asylum. Yet his life continues to surprise. In recent months the WikiLeaks founder has been offered Ecuadorian citizenship and found himself in a “romantic struggle” with former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson. Yet it’s a piece of legal paperwork discovered in the Eastern District of Virginia, in the US, that’s likely to have the most lasting impact. Filed in November, the forms accidentally revealed a reference to previously unknown criminal charges against Assange. Alongside this a supporting note added that the forms “need to remain sealed until Assange is arrested”. More suspicious yet, the filing was a motion to seal the charges – meaning they would be kept secret “due to the sophistication of the…

Having grown up watching the flicks of the 1990s, Danielle Macdonald says she didn’t see herself becoming a successful Hollywood actor. “I never really felt represented in an on-screen film when I was younger. I never really saw myself in movies and I was like, ‘I want to be an actress but I don’t know how that’s [going to be] possible.’” Speaking to WHO, Macdonald says she thought she’d have to wait a few years before stepping into the spotlight. “I feel like there were older plus-sized women, but there were only ever plus-sized teenagers if they were the butt of the joke. They were never a main character.” Since then, thanks to growing demand for more diversity on the big screen, Macdonald has landed herself several top-notch roles alongside…

Is Australia sexist? That’s the question TV presenter, writer and podcast star Yumi Stynes is asking in a new documentary for SBS, which examines a startling report showing Australia has dropped down to 35 in world rankings – lower than some developing countries – for gender equality. In the doco, Stynes examines pay disparity and introduces us to some shocking “experiments”, which show the lived experience of men and women in this country can be markedly different. We find out more about why she signed on to this controversial TV show... Your show made us really, really angry ... some of those stats! Shocking! It gets you fired up, doesn’t it! What made you decide to do it? I’ve always been really interested in talking about sexism and issues around…

Gloss without grease “While serums are great for creating shine and sealing frizz, make sure you’re using a light hand with all styling products – you can always add more but it’s harder to take it away,” says Joey. How much you need depends on your hair type and the result you’re seeking. Backstage secrets “On set and backstage we’re seeing makeup artists using layers of illuminator and highlighter to create really healthy, expensive-looking skin, and this is really an extension of that whole polished movement. We’re moving away from styling products that create raw, beachy texture and towards techniques that make hair look really healthy, and products that ‘strobe’ or add shiny highlights to the hair.” PRO TIP “An up-do high on the head is really flattering because it…

APPLICATION TIP Like a morning coffee, it’s an instant wake up! Apply mornings and evenings using a pea-sized portion of cream on a clean face. Feel for the bone line below the eye and work against the smile lines, starting from the temples and working in with gentle dabbing. Top tip The skin underneath the eyes contains minimal oil glands and doesn’t self-moisturise like the rest of our face. It’s also the most active and thinnest skin, so it makes sense that it’s the first place to show signs of ageing. KEY INGREDIENTS Look for creams rich in moisturising agents, with a focus on these ingredients: PEPTIDES – to boost collagen production ANTIOXIDANTS – to prevent future damage NIACINAMIDE – to target discolouration CAFFEINE – to help decrease puffiness…

Eighteen years after Jim Carrey was transformed into Dr Seuss’ Christmas-hating character, Cumberbatch voices the Grinch in a new animated version of the tale, which provides a different spin on the green grouch’s backstory. There are also plenty of laughs as the Grinch launches his assault on Whoville’s festive season, while the epiphany that results over what matters most at this time of year – love, not material things – is as important as ever.

Four years after the release of her last album, the 26-year-old winner of the inaugural season of The Voice has returned with Born to Fight (out now) – and a brand new look. Welcome back. Does this feel like a comeback? Yeah, it’s been a while. It did feel like a very long four years. What was the process of recording Born to Fight like? It was quite blissful. I’m a bit older, I have more knowledge of the industry and I was able to stand up for things I would like to hear. Not to say that anything I’ve sung before wasn’t, but I walked away going, “I pulled a lot of that [together],” and I’m proud…

Marking the centenary of the great South African leader Nelson Mandela’s birth, Johannesburg’s Global Citizen Festival will feature the biggest names in music – Sheeran, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams, Usher and Chris Martin, to name a few – in a campaign to alleviate extreme poverty. How? This is a money-can’t-buy event, with concertgoers earning their chance to win free tickets by doing good actions. Or, for the less motivated, you can tune in at home.

AUSTRALIA MAY BE HOME TO huge Hollywood stars such as Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky, but it manages to reel in a few famous tourists, too – most recently Vox Lux star Natalie Portman and her family. On Nov. 19, a relaxed Portman was spotted meeting wildlife at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast with her husband, French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied, their son Aleph, 7, and daughter Amalia, 1. In the snaps captured at the popular park, fans were given a rare peek into the world of the Israeli-born movie star, who usually tries to keep her children and her private life away from the public eye. It wasn’t the only Aussie day out for the No Strings Attached star, 37, and her family, who also stopped…

DYLAN AND ANGE ‘We want to have kids!’ Same-sex couple Dylan (right) and Ange struggled to see eye to eye with Ange’s father, John, a devout Christian who believed his daughter was simply going through a “phase”. However, after the show, they’ve managed to convince him that their love is genuine and they’re both in it for the long-haul. “It’s absolutely amazing. We had John and the family over for a barbecue the other week and it was just great! I nearly lit the house on fire and John saved it!” Dylan says. “He’s been really caring after each episode. He’s given Ange a call to make sure she’s OK with everything and just constantly reassuring us of his love.” Now that they have in-law approval, can fans expect the…

She’s been open about her fertility struggles for years, but radio personality Bianca Dye has come to a realisation at age 45. She’s going to try for a child with her current partner Jay Sandtner. Six years ago she was in a relationship with a different man and suffered two miscarriages after going through IVF, but Dye is adamant that she will give it one more shot with her frozen eggs, in an attempt to bring life to a baby with her supportive partner. “It’s terrifying, but my womb will hopefully be ready,” she tells Pete Timbs on the Who Are You podcast about IVF. “I’ll try again in the next three months.” “I have endometriosis, so I’m on a heavy hormone that they put [women] on to shrink breast…

When the first “pop” broke through the music at Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, on Nov. 7, the over-18s College Night crowd was revelling in a Wednesday night out. “It’s always working-class, country-loving people – a mellow place,” says John Hedge, who had been finishing up a drink with his stepdad. Then came the loud crack. “The room got all smoky, and I thought to myself, ‘What the hell is going on?’ And then you just hear people screaming and diving.” Shaken and stunned, Sarah DeSon, there to celebrate a friend’s 21st birthday, says simply, “I now know what gunshots sound like.” Only 11 days after 11 people were shot dead in a Pittsburgh synagogue, the horror of a mass shooting was felt again, this time in…

eather Locklear once had it all. The quintessential all-American blonde was a fan favourite in the 1980s and ’90s, lighting up the small screen in hit series Dynasty and Melrose Place . High-profile marriages to two rock stars didn’t hurt, either. And she was even idolised by the boys in Wayne’s World , who reasoned that if Locklear were to run for president she’d be “Babe-raham Lincoln”. But the star has since crashed back to Earth. Mental breakdowns, alleged substance-abuse issues and run-ins with authorities have seen Locklear make headlines for all the wrong reasons. On Nov. 19, Locklear, 57, was placed on a psychiatric hold after allegedly beating up her boyfriend, former American Motorcycle Association motocross racer Chris Heisser.…

The series, which first aired in 1998 and ran for eight seasons, found a special place in the hearts of audiences throughout the world.

STAY ANANTARA RESORTS It’s official, Sri Lanka is the destination to head to in 2019. In their highly influential Best of 2019 edition, Lonely Planet said that the island country surrounded by the Indian Ocean is “having its moment in the equatorial sun … this is a country revived.” So now is the time to get there before the rest of the world does! Once landed in Colombo, it’s best to get out there and explore the beautiful countryside. I based myself at the two Anantara Resorts on the island, the Anantara Kalutara Resort on the west coast and the Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle on Sri Lanka’s sourthernmost shores. Plus, the hotel can organise transfers around the island, which makes getting around easy. Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle is…

Like Adonis Creed, Jordan is a champion in the making. A still-rising star, he proved his charisma in 2015’s Rocky spin-off, Creed , then played to his biggest arena yet as Black Panther’s tortured villain. In Creed II his talent for portraying tough-but-vulnerable takes centre stage. Adonis, a protégé of the ageing Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), finally wins the heavyweight title – but a hulking Russian named Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu) challenges him. In 1985’s Rocky IV , Drago’s father, Ivan (Dolph Lundgren, who returns), killed Adonis’s father, Apollo, in the ring. The all-too-parallel plot is a bit of an eye-roller, but Drago Jr is one scary bruiser, and Jordan’s pumped physique…

There seems to be so many heartrending films around that showcase the talents of a batch of young actors holding their own against Hollywood stalwarts. To Lucas Hedges ( Boy Erased ), Timothée Chalamet ( Beautiful Boy ) and Ed Oxenbould ( Wildlife ), you can add Plummer – in this bleak tale, based on Willy Vlautin’s novel, he is teen Charley, who finds respite from a disastrous home-life by caring for a racehorse named … Lean on Pete.

A BRIEF INQUIRY INTO ONLINE RELATIONSHIPS The 1975 There is a lot to take in on the British band’s third album, not least its genre-hopping breadth, which spans everything from jazz (the delicate “Mine”) to pure pop (the joyous “It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)”) to an intermission spoken by Siri. Yes, really. Musical style aside, A Brief Inquiry’s lyrics tackle some weighty subject matter – the isolation caused by social media, mental health and singer Matt Healy’s struggles with substance abuse. Somehow, it all works. (Out Nov. 30)…

PARTY TIME LONDON, NOV. 19 Six years after she debuted at No. 1, Rita Ora has dropped her new album, Phoenix.

“So my children aren’t supposed to live the same lifestyle as their fathers?” In the midst of a bitter feud, Blac Chyna had a few choice words for her ex Rob Kardashian, with whom she shares her daughter Dream Kardashian. “Only the people around you really know how hard you work. I love to watch you make all your dreams come true. We love you.” Kylie Jenner couldn’t stop gushing about her “hubby” Travis Scott as he posed with baby Stormi for a photo she posted on Instagram. “As soon as I allowed myself to feel anything for Barack, the feelings came rushing. Any worries that I’d been harbouring seemed to fall away with that first kiss.” Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States, opened up about falling…

She made her way onto the Hollywood scene in 2013’s Wolf of Wall Street alongside A-Lister Leonardo DiCaprio, but it seems nothing has changed for Margot Robbie – despite going on to make a string of successful films – the humble actress remains just as “nervous” playing opposite him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . However, with her nerves comes excitement, the actress who plays Queen Elizabeth in upcoming film Mary Queen of Scots (out Jan. 17), tells WHO she does “love being on set” and has “fun doing it … with people I love.” “I’m still nervous every time I walk onto a set” You weren’t famous when you first worked with Leo and now you…

In December 2014, former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, had the world at her feet. “Happily” married to husband of seven years, Stephen Belafonte, she was a judge on The X Factor – both in her native England, and here in Australia – and also on America’s Got Talent . She had her three girls – Phoenix (with ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar), 19, Angel (whose father is Eddie Murphy), 11, and Madison (the child she had with Belafonte), 7 – she was enjoying the spoils of the successful showbiz career she’d dreamt of her entire life.

MEET THE LATEST PRINCESS She’s feisty, independent and, yep, royal. Vanellope von Schweetz, a video game princess introduced in Wreck-It Ralph , returns for Ralph Breaks the Internet – and meets a passel of Disney princesses (below). “I love V,” says voice Sarah Silverman, 47. “She dresses comfortably. She’s her own person. Her waist is average size. I hope to see more princesses with attainable bodies.” ARIEL From The Little Mermaid (1989), voiced by Jodi Benson.

There was no-one who could have done a better job at portraying Eric’s devilish and manipulative older sister Laurie better than Lisa Robin Kelly. Played with perfect comedic timing, Kelly owned every scene she was in. But while it was all fun and games on-camera, behind the scenes Kelly was struggling in the grips of an alcohol addiction brought on by a miscarriage. She was consequently written off the show and later arrested and charged with a DUI in 2010, as well as a domestic violence charge not long thereafter. Speaking to ABC in 2012, Kelly admitted she had a problem she was trying to deal with. “With That ‘70s Show , I was guilty of a drinking problem,” she said. “And I…

From the very beginning, little Jude has been a fighter. As the youngest son of Nathan and Samantha Plant, Jude has continued to conquer what life throws at him since first being diagnosed with transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) – a bone marrow disorder associated with infants who have Trisomy 21 (T21)/Down syndrome, and then later acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Although Jude was born in Bendigo, he was transferred to Monash Children’s Hospital soon after and placed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for intervention as he was struggling to breathe. “Jude started receiving treatment for transient abnormal myelopoiesis – which was essentially described to us as leukaemia that would resolve on its own,” says Sam. Unfortunately, Jude’s illness did not resolve on its own, and he required extra medical intervention…

What’s your new book about? [My] business seminars have proved so popular, the book was the next step. It’s for people who are looking at their career and might want to make a move – what to do and not to do. You started your PR company at 24 – how do you explain your success? I wasn’t one of the smartest kids in school but what I had was a dedication and a desperation to succeed. I used creative thinking and sales techniques to be remembered. Your husband, Oliver, works at your company now, but working with your spouse is often difficult, isn’t it? Especially when you’re me! It was a big call but I have got someone with knowledge of the back end to support me. Obviously, given…

THE PAINS OF GROWING Alessia Cara Since the release of her debut album, Know-It-All, the Canadian singer-songwriter has won a Grammy – for Best New Artist – and left her teenage years behind.

Chopped has run for more than 40 seasons. How do you account for its longevity? It’s exciting to watch people try to cook some mystery basket of ingredients and make instantaneous decisions. If you think about chefs, we are talking about people who are basically control freaks, who are extremely picky about what ingredients they want to cook with and we take away all that control. If you were a contestant, what ingredient would you be praying doesn’t come up? Anything that is already prepared. Like a cherry pie or macaroni and cheese that’s already been baked, because what are you going to do with that? Carson Kressley joked that the new Queer Eye was like seeing your ex with a new partner. What…

MOORE & GOLDSMITH TIE THE KNOT! Very warm congratulations are in order for This Is Us actress Mandy Moore, 34, who married her fiancé Taylor Goldsmith, 33, in an intimate backyard ceremony on Nov. 18.
