After more than two years of curtailed award ceremonies and parties in Hollywood, there was a real excitement in the air for this year’s 94th Academy Awards. In addition to Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall making history as hosts, and the fact that the feel-good movie CODA won Best Picture – with its star Troy Kotsur becoming the first deaf male actor to win an Oscar – not to mention the next level fashion, this year’s event was all set to make headlines. And that it did, but for the most unexpected and unbelievable reason. It’s still hard to process what was going through Best Actor winner Will Smith’s mind when he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage following his comments about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair, which was…

It’s not often that a sportsperson retires at the top of their game. So when three-time Grand Slam champion and world No. 1 Ash Barty called time on her tennis career on March 23, it didn’t just shock the nation but the world. “I am spent,” the Aussie sports star, 25, told her former doubles partner Casey Dellacqua, 37, in an emotional chat, which she shared on social media. “I just know physically I have nothing more to give and that, for me, is a success,” Barty added. The Queenslander further revealed that she was ready “to chase other dreams” after achieving her ultimate goal – winning Wimbledon – last year. While Barty is yet to announce what’s next, she’s “looking forward” to spending more time with her family and…

March 25 marked a massive career milestone for Sydney Swans star Lance “Buddy” Franklin. The 35-year-old kicked his 1000th goal in front of a packed stadium, followed by a stampede of fans onto the pitch. From the sidelines, his adoring model wife Jesinta, 30, celebrated the landmark moment with their daughter Tallulah, 2, and 12-month-old son Rocky. “Friends and family made an incredible effort the last two weeks to be in Sydney for Bud to celebrate him kicking 1000 career goals,” Jesinta shared on Instagram. “I’ve listened to stories from Bud’s parents and sisters of his passion and dedication to football from a young age and last night was a true testament to the hard work that has gone into not only over the last 18 years of his career,…

A judge has terminated the personal conservatorship of former child actor Amanda Bynes. Struggles with mental health, substance abuse and the law prompted the Nickelodeon star’s parents to establish court control through a conservatorship in 2013. She has since worked hard on her sobriety and is now studying in Los Angeles. “I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritise my wellbeing,” Bynes, 35, said in a statement following the hearing.…

MICK JAGGER The frontman of The Rolling Stones expressed his sadness at Hawkins’ untimely death on Twitter. “So incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Taylor Hawkins,” he wrote. “My thoughts are with his family and the band at this time.” OZZY OSBOURNE “Taylor Hawkins was truly a great person and an amazing musician. My heart, my love and my condolences go out to his wife, his children, his family, his band and his fans.

THE MASK Diaz, then 21,was sent to audition for a minor role in the Jim Carrey comedy but ended up being cast as the lead, Tina Carlyle. With no acting experience, she began having lessons after being cast. The 1994 movie turned Carrey into a superstar and launched Diaz’s career. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY The 1998 rom-com earned Diaz plaudits for her portrayal of Mary Jensen and her first Golden Globe Award nomination. Diaz was worried the “hair gel” scene could derail her career. If anything, it probably helped it. CHARLIE’S ANGELS The 2000 reboot of the ’70s TV show was a box office hit and proved female action movies were worth the investment. It also made Diaz a very wealthy woman as she pocketed a cool $16 million and…

SHARON STONE While Stone was a prolific star in the 1990s and early noughties, acting took a back seat when she became a mother to her three boys, Roan, Quinn and Laird. MICHAEL DOUGLAS One of the greatest actors of our time, the 77-year-old dad-of-three has no plans to retire, and remains happily married to his actress wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

EYES ON THE PRIZE Aussie fashion fave Lara Worthington had good reason for a recent trip back home – celebrating a collaboration that’s a perfect fit for her stylish ways. Joining forces with Sydney eyewear label Local Supply, the debut collection titled Lara x Local Supply features two distinct Worthington-esque styles in versatile colourways, with everything conceptualised by the model herself, right down to campaign imagery. “Eyewear has long been an obsession of mine. I love how a great pair of frames can be part of your signature look or can be switched up depending on your mood,” says Worthington. “I chose to work with Local Supply because they’re an independent, Australian-owned business and was drawn to their focus on sustainability and design – as well as their commitment to…

Celebs have been using ice water as their beauty secret for years (we’re looking at you, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss). But if you’ve been paying attention on TikTok, people are now dunking their faces in bowls full of the stuff – all in the name of aiding their mental health. Posts showing users trying the method are popping up on the platform in growing numbers, with one video posted last month earning over 2.4 million views. “Stick your face right in!” user Traci Henckel captioned her viral clip. “A bowl of ice water for 30 seconds two times. Twice a day. My anxiety and depression have really been loving this coping mechanism far more than any others I use. Try it, my skin is pretty happy, too!” Though this…

WHAT IS IT? The ultra-swish smart bike that allows you to ride in style. THE VERDICT: “Spin was the gym class I missed the most during lockdown, and when I finally gave up my membership recently, it was the one training session I couldn’t replicate at home. So I was really excited to trial the Technogym stationary bike – if you get the additional membership it also comes with live and recorded training sessions from trainers around the world. It’s a solid, quality piece of equipment with a large, immersive touch screen you can watch YouTube, Netflix and more on. I soon discovered that my schedule didn’t tally up with the live sessions – but it didn’t matter, I had dozens of other on-demand classes to choose from and soon…

As the mother and sister of the Ton’s very own gossip sheet writer, Lady Whistledown, it’s fair to say that Portia (Polly Walker) and Prudence Featherington (Bessie Carter) have their fair share of scandal as they navigate the treacherous marriage mart of Regency-era London. But thankfully for the actresses behind the mother and daughter duo, the only drama they have to deal with is getting in and out of their gorgeous garbs. “I think I pay the price for the extremeness in fashion,”Walker, 55, tells WHO in a joint chat over Zoom from London. “The costumes may look beautiful, but underneath I’m wearing something that resembles medieval armour. It’s torture, but then Portia is slightly tortured so it helps to get into character,” she adds with a laugh. Nicola Coughlan…

There is just something about owning a little black dress, fashion’s most enduring and chic outfit. And it’s a love affair that inspired Megan Hess in her newest book. “I love that Coco Chanel created the very first little black dress,” the world-renowned fashion illustrator tells WHO. “It’s an item that completes any wardrobe and is a must-have,” she explains. While working on the book, Hess dived deep into the history of the iconic garment. “I loved delving into some of  the most iconic little black dresses of all time – one of my absolute favourites was the LBD that Princess Diana wore once, which was nicknamed ‘the revenge dress’,” Hess reveals. “Everyone should have a revenge dress in their wardrobe!” (Out now)…

And just like that, Bindi Irwin’s baby girl Grace Warrior Powell is one! The late Steve Irwin’s gorgeous granddaughter celebrated her milestone birthday surrounded by her proud parents, her grandmother Terri, and even Bindi’s in-laws, who flew in from Florida for the special occasion and to meet the birthday girl for the very first time. “Happy Birthday to my graceful warrior,” Bindi, 23, began her beautiful social media tribute on March 25.“One year of watching your beautiful heart bloom into the most extraordinary person.

Talk about a man crush. Channing Tatum is a guy who knows what he wants, starting with his hair in The Lost City. Ahead of the release of his new film, the 41-year-old actor told Ellen DeGeneres he was channelling his co-star Brad Pitt’s 1994 look. “I actually gave the note – I have to wear a wig for my cover-model look, [my character] Dash’s look, and I was like, ‘I just want to look like Legends of the Fall Brad Pitt,’” he admitted. Adding, he advised the hair and makeup department to “make me as close to that as you can possibly make me”. In fact, Tatum insists he has a real bromance with the 58-year-old Hollywood heartthrob. “I think people just don’t know how funny he is,”Tatum says…

“She is a magical gypsy godmother who occupies the space in-between”- STYLES With her signature boho style and distinctly dreamy vocals, Stevie Nicks, the spellbinding leading lady of Fleetwood Mac with an equally incredible solo career, still goes her own way at age 73. “She’s so wise and serene. She sees all the romance and drama in the world, and she celebrates it,” her friend and fan Harry Styles gushed as she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 2019. “She is a magical gypsy godmother who occupies the space in-between. It’s a space that can and will only ever be hers.” Born in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1948, Stephanie Lynn Nicks moved between states often as a child due to her father’s…

Carter walked free from prison in January 2020 after having just over four months shaved off her sentence for good behaviour. Since then, she has kept a very low profile and denied all requests to speak to the media. Several documentaries and TV adaptations of her story have been made, including a 2019 film called I Love You, Now Die, The Girl from Plainville and an upcoming film called Michelle Carter: Love, Texts and Deaths. Several reports have suggested she is living under an assumed identity as she tries to start over.…

Nothing defines an era quite like brow trends. From thin and overplucked to fluffy and brushed, eyebrows play an important part in beauty regimens. If you’re looking to be ahead of the eyebrow game, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got the tips and tools to help you re-create these trending eyebrow styles. HYBRID BROW DYE Debuting in Russia last year, this trend is about to make its way into a number of salons, says brow specialist Aya Zahoui. “It’s not your run-of-the-mill brow tint,” she explains. “It’s an extra long-lasting brow dye that stains both the skin and hairs, and is the only tint of its kind in the market that gives you the same effect as henna.”If you don’t feel like tinting your brows, try adding a…

Looking for a stress-busting workout that can torch up to 500 calories while still being low impact on your body? Whether it’s at home, in the gym or in the great outdoors, cycling has something to offer everyone. WHY CYCLE? Rhys James, an education specialist at Technogym Australia, says cycling is a great way to get a cardiovascular workout that’s kind to knees and other joints. “Unlike running, by pedalling we don’t place pressure on the lower limb joints, keeping them active and happy,” he explains. For that reason, cycling can be a good option for people with knee injuries, depending on the recommendations they’ve been given by their health specialist. But while cycling is gentle in some ways, it’s also a seriously effective workout that can burn up to…

A stint in Summer Bay has become a rite of passage for many young Aussie actors just starting out. Home and Away has helped launch the careers of some of our brightest stars, including Isla Fisher, Dannii Minogue and Samara Weaving. Few though, have gone onto the dizzying heights of success as Avengers actor Chris Hemsworth, 38. Now the star’s younger cousin, Luke Van Os, 24, is hoping the long-running soap will help propel him to stardom as he takes up the role of Xander. While not much is known about the newcomer, he has a tie with a long-term character on the series and has come “in search of answers”. Expect plenty of drama! Did your cousin, Chris Hemsworth, give you any advice as a former resident of Summer…

Tones and I is back with a brand new single, ‘Eyes Don’t Lie’ – her first since the release of last year’s chart-topping debut album, Welcome to the Madhouse. If you’re hoping it lives up to her 2019 banger,‘Dance Monkey’, you’ll be pleased to know that while it’s not so much of a dance track, it’s just as catchy. The Aussie superstar explains that ‘Eyes Don’t Lie’ is about a large loss of someone or something from your life, and the resentment and feeling you get, and the realisation it was toxic all along. Tones breaks it down for us.“[The song is about] someone taking advantage of you and you taking advantage of yourself.” The iconic singing sensation adds, “[It’s about] feeling better off and putting that last bit of…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? The Neighbours set with Rebekah Elmaloglou and Jacinta Stapleton. We couldn’t hold it together because of one of my lines. Last time you were surprised? When I was on Home and Away I had so many friends who worked on Neighbours at the same time. We would all go to events together and catch up. It was always such a friendly relationship between both casts, so when I joined the Neighbours cast recently I was surprised and pleased to find that camaraderie is still there. Last thing you worked on when creating your character Montana? She’s cutthroat because she wants to get to the top, but underneath she’s vulnerable and I want to show that side of her, too. Last…

Despite busy lives, Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles are still going strong more than a year after they were first spied holding hands at a wedding in January 2021. “They’re well past the ‘crush’ phase and are solid partners. They’re the real deal,” a source tells Entertainment Tonight. “They are pretty low-key and really just love spending time together along with their families and friends.” Wilde, 38, splits her time between Los Angeles and London, where she is currently living with Styles, 28, and spending time with her kids Otis, 7, and Daisy, 5, while her estranged husband Jason Sudeikis films the third season of the comedy series Ted Lasso.

Starring in crime dramas is nothing new for Kate Atkinson, who portrayed prison guard Vera Bennett for eight seasons on Wentworth. But in her latest role the Australian actress is playing a controversial real-life character, financial advisor Melissa Caddick. The mysterious November 2020 disappearance of the high-profile Sydney con woman gripped the nation, and now the story behind the headlines is being told in the newest instalment of the Underbelly franchise, Vanishing Act. While playing one of the most notorious women in the country is no easy task, the Jack Irish star says she’s up for the challenge. “I looked at the script with equal parts of excitement and intrigue and a little bit of trepidation,” the 49-year-old star tells WHO. “But selfishly speaking, actors relish taking on roles where…

While the couple have said nothing publicly about growing their family, it sounds like the Good Charlotte rocker would manage another bub with ease. “He’s such an amazing father,” says Diaz. I’m so lucky he’s my baby’s father. He’s incredible.”…

Perched behind a tripod-mounted camera on Everest’s North Col, the glacial pass that sits more than 7000m above sea level, Jennifer Peedom was in her element. “I remember feeling alive and exhilarated,” she recalls of shooting a story for Dateline on SBS back in 2004. “This was the highest I had ever climbed, and it felt fantastic. The view down was incredible.” The outlook on her career in adventure filmmaking is just as spectacular. Peedom’s childhood interests in photography, travel and sports have become the tools the award-winning director uses to tell stories about the intersection of people and nature, most recently in River, which is in cinemas now. “What I’m interested in is human character and humanity,” Peedom, 46, says of her work, which includes the 2016 BAFTA-nominated documentary…

Sharon Stone was 34 when she went from nobody to superstar overnight. It was March 18, 1992, and Basic Instinct had just premiered in Los Angeles to rave reviews. But it was the unknown Stone – who’d had a total of 18 “crap” bit parts before landing the role of sexy serial killer Catherine Tramell in the iconic thriller – who completely stole the show, thanks to that infamous interrogation room scene. But ahead of the film’s 30th anniversary that shot has fallen into infamy, with Stone, 64, now saying she was duped into uncrossing her legs by the film’s director, Paul Verhoeven, to capture the film’s explicit shot. “After we shot Basic Instinct, I got called in to see it. Not on my own with the director, as one…

Lock April 4 in your diaries because it’s time to celebrate the powerhouse ingredient that is vitamin C. Dermatologist Dr Cara McDonald delves into how it’s changing the beauty game and why you should be celebrating it today – and every day! What are the benefits of vitamin C and how often can it be used?

What are the some of the misconceptions around it? One of the misconceptions is that using vitamin C…

OUTDOORS James says cycling outdoors “allows you to embrace nature and undertake the activity in its purest form while allowing you to track data and routes. It can also be an environmentally friendly and cost effective method.”The main drawback is that it’s often hard to find a safe and scenic route without having to travel first, while weather can also be a key factor.

Or if you’re ready to take the next step you can try a smart bike, which will offer live classes so you can work out virtually with your trainer in real time.…

Melbourne foursome Confidence Man’s second album Tilt can only be described as a “God damn good time”. Janet Planet, Sugar Bones, Clarence McGuffie and Reggie Goodchild say they drew inspiration from Grace Jones, Madonna, The Chemical Brothers, Deee-lite and ’90s runway music, resulting in a sleeker and sexier new era for Confidence Man. The group’s new music is all about not taking themselves too seriously or overthinking. Planet admits most tracks were born from “drinking and singing around a crappy microphone with bluetooth speakers at 5am”. But adds, “A lot of those songs turned out to be really good.” (Out Fri., Apr. 1)…
