Beloved daughter. Beautiful friend. Passionate traveller. Bright student. Michaela Dunn, 24, was described in many ways by her devastated family last week when news of her death broke. The former uni student was allegedly murdered by 20-year-old Mert Ney at her Sydney CBD apartment. But, as the story sadly so often goes, one factor of the former uni student’s life became the sole focus of this tragedy – her chosen profession as a sex worker. Gala Vanting, the president of the Scarlet Alliance, told The Guardian there was “frustration” among the community about the coverage of Michaela’s death. “Something that’s notable for me is that it’s the sex work community who are leaving flowers on Michaela’s doorstep,” she said. “I’m reminded of Eurydice Dixon’s murder in Melbourne, and the fact…

Since announcing their split on August 10 after less than eight months of marriage, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth and superstar singer Miley Cyrus have been keeping low profiles on opposite sides of the world. Spending time in Byron Bay, Hemsworth, 29, hit the surf without his wedding ring on August 13 and was spied hanging with friends at a bar a few days later. Cyrus, 26, meanwhile, has returned home from her loved-up Italian getaway with newly single pal Kaitlynn Carter, 30. The pair were spotted meeting the singer’s mum Tish Cyrus for lunch on August 17 and a source confirms to WHO that they’ve been “staying together” in Los Angeles. Although lying low, on August 16 Cyrus released ‘Slide Away’, an emotional new song which seems to reference what…

FELICITY HUFFMAN The Desperate Housewives star, 56, tearfully pleaded guilty to a mail-fraud charge on May 13. “I accept full responsibility for my actions,” Huffman said in April of paying Singer $22,000 to have her oldest daughter’s SAT answers corrected by a proctor. Prosecutors have recommended four months in jail and a $29,000 fine as a part of her plea agreement. As Huffman awaits her sentencing on Sep. 13, she has been doing her best to keep a low profile. After starring in Netflix’s acclaimed miniseries When They See Us, she opted not to be submitted for consideration for an Emmy nomination. JOHN VANDEMOER On Jun. 12, the former Stanford University sailing coach, 41, who pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, became the first person involved in the scandal to be…

Starring as the strong-headed cop Lillian in Seachange, actress Kate Lister reveals she can relate to her character’s small-town, big-city dreams through her own experience of trying to make it in the acting world. “All the setbacks you have, all the knockbacks … you just have to keep moving forward if you really love it,” she tells WHO. In addition to starring in the series’ revival, Lister is one half of the DJ duo Vamp, consisting of herself and Home and Away’s Sarah Roberts. “I’ve been DJing now for seven or eight years and I started with Sarah, who’s my best friend,” Lister says. “It’s crazy, we’ve almost aligned completely in what we do with our lives. “We started this little duo, singing and DJing … and Vamp was a…

There’s a lot of pressure that comes with being the next big thing – just ask Kelsea Ballerini. The 25-year-old country pop singer has torn her way through the US charts in recent years, following in the footsteps of former idol turned close friend Taylor Swift, 29. With more than 1.5 billion global streams, the two-time Grammy nominee, who is married to 34-year-old Australian country singer Morgan Evans, has toured with some of the biggest names in music including Swift, Keith Urban and Kelly Clarkson. “I grew up watching every move that Taylor made’’ Having just performed her hit collaboration ‘This Feeling’ with The Chainsmokers at Lollapalooza, Ballerini is on the verge of hitting the big time – and she’s ready. “I remember growing up and watching every move…

Los Angeles is a long way from Summer Bay, and despite going down the same path as many Australian actors before him, former Home and Away star Lincoln Younes is finding his feet and doing so in good company as he joins Hollywood actress Eva Longoria on the set of upcoming drama Grand Hotel (Wed., Aug. 28, 8.40pm on Nine Network). “Eva’s everything you would hope she would be and more, truly,” he tells WHO of his co-star. “It’s such a wonderful thing, because there are people you look up to in this industry and sometimes you meet them and they might be very different to what you’ve had in your head. She just exceeded every expectation I could have had of her. She started off as our boss and…

To her millions of fans Shannen Doherty has always seemed like someone with an iron will. In reality, Doherty says, the last few years of her life would test even the steeliest of resolves. Since 2015 the veteran actress has battled breast cancer, undergone a mastectomy, encountered a devastating fire that nearly destroyed her Malibu home and lost one of her oldest friends and former co-stars, Luke Perry, who died in March. Still, despite the heartache, “I think there is always a positive to learn through everything,” says Doherty, 48. “I really believe that God only gives us what we can handle. Maybe I’m too stubborn, so he gives it to me in very big, impactful ways.” Now, armed with a passion for her work within the cancer community, as…

Diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in 2008, Swayze (pictured with wife Lisa in 2005) took his last breath on Sept. 14, 2009, with Lisa by his side at their ranch north of LA. She placed a single white rose on his chest and an amulet above him, while his favourite horse, a white stallion named Roh, was brought to see his master.“He’s still in my dreams,”Lisa says of Patrick.“You kind of think the pain is going to help you hold on to them, and it doesn’t. But he’s still in my life. I haven’t lost him, and that was my fear.”…

Looking good can help improve our sense of wellbeing but if you’re considering surgery, try a non-surgical facelift such as Thermage FLX. Using penetrative lasers, Thermage FLX targets the deep layers of the dermis to stimulate new collagen. It’s great for tightening the jowls, lifting the cheeks and reducing the striations you get on your decolletage and the benefits are long-lasting (you won’t need another treatment for three to five years). It costs about $2500 for a full face and requires zero down-time so you’ll be back at work the next day and no-one will know. The results improve gradually over three to six months as your skin cells generate new collagen. Visit mdcosmedicalsolutions.com.au.…

If you are an avid red wine drinker, then you must have had a glass of pinot noir a couple of times. But how much of this drink do you actually know? 1. Chardonnay and pinot noir are cousins! Chardonnay is a cross between pinot noir and gouais blanc (heunisch) grape varieties. This is why you will find the varieties are grown together in regions. 2. France, USA and Germany are the three largest producers of pinot noir in the world. 3. The most expensive bottle of wine in the world is a pinot noir. A bottle of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti Grand Cru sells for an average of $26,000! That’s a mouthful - literally! 4. Pinot noir is usually made with‘whole bunch’.

People will put themselves through all sorts of crazy, life-endangering ordeals in the name of reality television. And while I can just about understand why you would put up with torrential rain, a diet of nothing but rice for weeks on end, being ravaged by mosquitoes, and having to endure the company of people like Andy and Luke in order to play Australian Survivor, there is one reality show I am amazed people voluntarily take part in: 60 Days In. For those unfamiliar with the series, which begins its fifth season this week (starts Wed., Aug. 28 at 9.30pm; Crime + Investigation), 60 Days In sees members of the public who have not committed any crime going undercover in jail. As a prisoner. Voluntarily. It’s a proposition so fraught with…

The singer/actress-turned-interior designer, 38, discusses her involvement in Flip It Like Disick (continues Mon., Aug. 26 at 12pm; E! and streams on hayu). How did you react when Scott Disick asked you to be part of his house-flipping team on the show? I was a little hesitant. It was a little scary to step back in front of the camera after taking a step back. We talked about what my role would be and I felt confident as a company owner that we bring a lot to the table, so I felt OK doing it. Many people have fixed opinions about Scott, but what’s he really like? He’s been on TV for, like, 12 years now and if any of us took a look at our lives 12 years ago,…

CONGRATULATIONS are in order for AFL star Moana Hope and model Isabella Carlstrom, who officially tied the knot in a romantic wedding ceremony on August 17. “Mrs & Mrs Carlstrom-Hope,” Hope penned on August 19, followed by a second post which read, “Best day of our lives. From the ceremony, the speeches and the traditional dancing that even had Vinny surprise us with her own dance along with so much more made it so special.” Dressed in a custom black Effie Kats tuxedo, Hope looked ecstatic as she said her vows to Carlstrom, wearing a white Toni Maticevski wedding dress. According to the Herald Sun, the intimate ceremony took place in the backyard of a family friend’s home in the Melbourne suburb of Toorak. “It’s everything we ever wanted in…

IN THE WAKE OF A RUMOURED split from her husband of five years Jimmy Bartel, model and mum-of-two Nadia Bartel has made it clear she has no time for trolls. After an anonymous social media user took a swipe at Nadia, saying Jimmy had“upgraded” with his rumoured new socialite girlfriend Lauren Mand – who has “a real job and an actual personality” – the fashion blogger broke her silence for the first time since she and Jimmy silently unfollowed each other on Instagram. She hit back, saying“Try writing from a real account. Don’t hide. I have numerous real jobs”. When asked about the current situation during pre-game coverage on 3AW on August 17, Jimmy admitted it’s“not great”. “I am probably not going to provide any commentary on it,” he continued.“I…

CELEBRATING THEIR NINTH wedding anniversary, Ashley Graham and husband Justin Ervin posted a video of themselves jokingly arguing over a selfie angle before panning the camera wide enough to reveal the model’s baby bump.“Nine years ago today, I married the love of my life,” Graham, 31, captioned the video. “It has been the best journey with my favourite person in the world! Today, we are feeling so blessed, grateful and excited to celebrate with our GROWING FAMILY!

Now that we’ve made a life together, let’s make a life together. I love you, and I love us.” In…

She could have been anybody. Bright and beautiful, with a passion for travel, Sydney woman Michaela ‘Mikki’ Dunn had her future ahead of her. But it was cruelly and viciously taken away from her when the 24-year-old’s throat was allegedly slashed by Mert Ney, killing her prior to a rampage through Sydney streets on August 13. Three days later, NSW police charged 20-year-old Ney with murder, attempted murder, wounding with intent to cause filmed a short video of Dunn’s lifeless body and sent it to a friend.

Before she was linked to Leonardo DiCaprio in December 2017, few people would have recognised the name Camila Morrone. But, as it turns out, the 22-year-old model and actress is paving her own way in Hollywood, with her film Mickey and the Bear set to be released later this year. In addition to dating veteran actor DiCaprio, 44, Morrone comes from acting blood herself as the daughter of actor/ model Maximo Morrone and actress Lucila Solá, who was in a relationship with Al Pacino. “I’ve only done three films over the past three years … the ultimate goal is being in a position that I can pick and choose the roles that I want to play, and that inspire me,” Morrone tells WHO.

Jodi Anasta’s eyes are gleaming as she sits down to chat with WHO in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, all in a day’s work for the Melbourne-based actress and mother. “I’m used to flying in and out,” the Runway Room cosmetics ambassador smiles. It’s been four years since she took on the role of Elly Conway on Neighbours, a move that’s seen her garner a large fan-base – particularly with her latest storyline which sees her in a same-sex relationship with Chloe Brennan, played by April Rose Pengilly. “My favourite storyline is Chelly. I love it so much. And everybody loves it – I just can’t believe the feedback,” she says. “I’m so glad to be a part of a show which celebrates love and equality. That means a lot…

Having walked in every fashion show, from Alexander McQueen, Givenchy and Versace, gracing a number Vogue covers herself, South-Sudanese Australian model Adut Akech has made a major indent on the international modelling scene. So much so, she garnered the attention of Meghan Markle, who opted to include her in the September issue of British Vogue based on her force for change. The outspoken 19-year-old is well beyond her years, and WHO caught up with the beauty ahead of her role as the face of Melbourne Fashion Week. How do you think Melbourne Fashion Week compares to Paris or New York? It’s more laid-back. The vibe is different, fashion week in Australia is more enjoyable. Not that the other ones are not enjoyable, but they’re very hectic. In New York or…

LAST JULY, DWAYNE JOHNSON cleared up rumours that he and his girlfriend, singer and music producer Lauren Hashian, 34, had secretly tied the knot, explaining that even after 12 years of dating they weren’t in a hurry to make things official. “I just refer to her as my wife all the time.

Don’t rush big daddy.’” It appears things have now changed, with the actor, 47, revealing the pair tied the knot at an intimate ceremony in Hawaii on August 18.

Darren McMullen is living his very own sea change. The irony is not lost on the Scottish-born star, who plays Findlay Knox on the reboot of the popular ’90s series which captured the life-changing notion of giving up a fast-paced life in the big smoke for a home by the sea. The 37-year-old returned to Australia this year after his relationship with long-time partner, Teen Wolf star Crystal Reed, came to a heartbreaking end.

Not long after INXS performed for 72,000 people at Wembley in 1991, the band’s chief songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Andrew Farriss, found himself in a London lumberyard. “And this guy from the lumberyard goes, ‘Look mate, I’ve been standing there looking at you, and I swear you look like that bloke from that band,” recalls Farriss, laughing. “And I said, ‘yeah that’s my band’. And he said, ‘What are you doing here?’ And I said, ‘Well, I need a piece of wood for my daughter’s cot.’” He’s best known for penning classics like ‘Original Sin’ and ‘Never Tear Us Apart’, but Farriss is as comfortable on a stage as he is in Bunnings – or a lumberyard. For nearly three decades, the father of three has been living in the Tamworth…

Patrick Swayze was a classically trained ballet dancer and a rugged cowboy – a natural movie star who could speak volumes without saying a word. But the man who captured hearts in 1987’s Dirty Dancing and 1990’s Ghost privately grappled with demons, including alcoholism and self-doubt stemming from his fractious childhood. Swayze was “always trying to control his emotions and the thoughts that were going through his head”, recalls his wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi Swayze. “It hurt him in a lot of ways.” Now, Lisa and others close to Swayze are shining a new light on his remarkable life – from his personal struggles and successes to his courage facing pancreatic cancer in his final months – in a new documentary, I Am Patrick Swayze, produced by Derik…

How does it work? Over a seven-week period, 11 seniors and 10 preschoolers engage in activities designed by a team of experts in geriatric health and wellbeing and an early childhood expert. In a custom-built preschool housed in the retirement village, the participants will stick to a timetable of tasks, with the experts tracking physical and mental changes of the older group, and the developmental growth of the children. What is the aim? It is hoped that both groups will see improvements – in mood and mobility for the older participants, and in social skills for the children, with measurements taken at the start and finish of the experiment. If there are positive outcomes for the seniors, there are implications for how we approach aged care. What has happened afterwards?…
