I spent way too much time lately smashing through the available episodes of new crime series The Staircase on Binge. I mean, what are you going to do when you’ve finished Ozark, right? The Staircase stars Colin Firth and Australian legend Toni Collette and, yet again, she turns in another superb performance as Kathleen Peterson, a wealthy wife who met a mysterious death at the bottom of her staircase. Just give Collette all the awards already. If you want to know more about the real-life case that inspired the series, you can read our explainer starting on page 42. I’m also excited to get stuck into Season 2 of Stan series Hacks. WHO’s associate editor Naomi Toy caught up with one of the show’s stars, Hannah Einbinder, to get the…

This time, however, the pair went traditional, with Sevigny swapping her little black dress for a Jean Paul Gaultier SS22 Couture gown by Glenn Martens, and exchanging vows in a church in countryside Connecticut. “Yesterday was undoubtedly the greatest day of my life,” Sevigny, 47, gushed on Instagram. “So blessed to finally share our love and commitment with friends and family. So many people put so much work into making it just perfect, so from the bottom of my bursting heart, thank you.” Socialite Derek Blasberg shared a series of snaps from the day,…

“I feel really proud and blessed”- ZAC HANSON Cast your mind back to the mid-90s. A time of scrunchies and baggy denim jeans, a time of carefree days spent discussing the latest happenings in Heartbreak High with your mates while sucking on frozen Zooper Doopers in the playground, and a time when the ridiculously infectious earworm hit ‘MMMBop’ was blasting out of seemingly every radio across the country. Hanson’s 1997 surprising chart sensation thrust the band onto the global stage, turning the unlikely trio of three young American brothers into bona fide celebrities overnight. And while many ’90s fads didn’t go the distance, Zac, Taylor and Isaac are still making music three decades on. In fact, this year marks the band’s 30th anniversary since their debut performance in 1992. A…

There’s a reason Drake’s Hidden Hills home was dubbed the YOLO (‘you only live once’) Estate. From the Playboy Mansion-style swimming pool and grotto, to the tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, 18.5 square metres of master bedroom complete with not one, but two marble bathtubs, plus a mechanical bull, and equestrian amenities, there’s not much this palatial home doesn’t have. Kick back in the 24-seat movie theatre, or unwind in the spa or massage room. Grab yourself a vino from the wine cellar and jump into the hot tub, or go down one of the waterslides the outdoor entertaining area boasts – and did we mention the multiple waterfalls? For $21 million, Drake’s adventure playground could be yours. But not all Champagne Papi’s memories from the YOLO pad are happy…

By joining the Dance for Sick Kids challenge you’ll be helping Ronald McDonald House Charities to support children with serious illnesses.

By providing a home-away-from-home for their families, Ronald McDonald House ensures that everyone…

Warm up prior to your stretch session. Warming up before you stretch does a number of beneficial things, but primarily its purpose is to prepare the body and mind for more strenuous activity. By increasing muscle temperature, you are helping to make the muscles loose, supple and pliable. Stretch slowly and avoid bouncing. Stretching slowly and gently helps to relax your muscles, which in turn makes stretching more pleasurable and beneficial. This will also help to avoid muscle tears and strains that can be caused by rapid, jerky movements. Stretch only to the point of tension. Stretching isn’t an activity that is meant to be painful; it should be relaxing. Although many people believe that to get the most from their stretch they need to feel some pain, this is…

It was supposed to be a celebration of the glorious Elizabethan age, marking an incredible 70 years on the throne for Her Majesty the Queen. So important is the Platinum Jubilee that from June 2 to 5, the citizens of Great Britain have had a four-day holiday weekend bestowed upon them, with people of every stripe celebrating the monarch. But behind the scenes and with only two weeks to go, organisers fear the event is descending into chaos – and the latest members of the family to privately express their disgruntlement are the Queen’s granddaughters Beatrice and Eugenie, who were shocked to find themselves excluded from appearing on Buckingham Palace’s balcony during the festivities. Earlier this month, in a bid to end speculation over her scandal-ridden family members’ involvement, the…

Could the adorable baby-faced boy of the ’80s really be so savage? Fans of The Wonder Years are learning that behind closed doors, the show about a white American family living in the suburbs might not have been so wondrous for some members of its crew, nor those who worked with its star Fred Savage during the decades that followed. This month, the 45-year-old who played Kevin Arnold on the beloved series, was fired from his executive producer and director roles on the reboot, following accusations of inappropriate conduct. “Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched,” a spokesperson for 20th Television said. A report in Deadline quickly surfaced, claiming he was prone to “verbal outbursts and…

WHAT IS IT? Assisted stretching with a flexologist. THE VERDICT “When it comes to fitness I may not be the most coordinated person, but one thing I’ve always prided myself on is flexibility.

The reasons to try it are endless, whether you’re looking to improve flexibility, relieve muscle tension, improve sports performance or treat pandemic posture.

Their on-screen relationship is more than a little complicated but behind the scenes, Hannah Einbinder has nothing but love and admiration for her Hacks co-star Jean Smart. The LA-native said filming a second season of the surprise hit comedy, about a young writer Ava (Einbinder) who teams up with Las Vegas comedian Deborah Vance (Smart) to revive her career, meant “getting a good, decent chunk of time together” – something that doesn’t happen often in their busy schedules. “It’s such a treat and a blessing,” Einbinder, 26, tells WHO over Zoom. “I mean, we text all the time but being together is like, just the best.” Season 2 takes the unlikely duo on the road as they workshop Deborah’s new stand-up routine, with Laurie Metcalf joining the cast as the…

Caroline Beecham loves the nostalgia of the World War II era, especially the pioneering women and their untold stories. Her latest book, Esther’s Children, follows the real-life story of Esther Simpson. Beecham tells WHO, “She helped rescue thousands of academic refugees from Europe, amongst them 16 Nobel Prize winners. The more I researched her, the more I felt there was a remarkable story to tell.” Strong women drive Beecham’s love of storytelling, and none more so than her grandmother. “She served in the Land Army and had lots of stories about life in the 1930s and ’40s,” the author says. And there’s no rest for this writer’s busy mind. “I have a couple of books I’m working on,” she reveals, adding that she’s also setting her sights on film. “I’m…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? With my band and dancers backstage at a gig the other day. We always have the most fun! Last thing you learned about yourself? That I can definitely push myself further than I think. I feel like sometimes I set boundaries in my own way, but when I filmed Celebrity Apprentice, I definitely learnt I can push myself further. Last guilty pleasure you enjoyed? It was my birthday last month and I was lucky enough to have three celebrations, meaning I had three birthday cakes! It was also Easter the same weekend, so I had all the chocolate, cake and candy haha! Last TV obsession? Ozark! What a show. I was obsessed and am so sad it’s over. Last time…

She’s changed my world and the way I look at everything.”…

It’s a tale of schemes and betrayal with a dash of celebrity and defecating poultry.

WHO ARE THEY? Rooney is the wife of former England soccer star Wayne Rooney.

With a long-held aversion for the spotlight, actress Michelle Williams has delighted family, friends and fans alike, with the blissful news she is pregnant with her third child. Multiple Oscar-nominee Williams, 41, and husband, director Thomas Kail, 44, will welcome their second child later this year. “It’s totally joyous,” Williams told Variety for its annual Cannes Film Festival issue. “As the years go on, you sort of wonder what they might hold for you or not hold for you. It’s exciting to discover that something you want again and again is available one more time. That good fortune is not lost on me or my family.” The couple met in late 2018 when Kail directed on Williams’ miniseries Fosse/ Verdon, in which Williams played actress and dancer Gwen Verdon, while…

She’s gone from mistress and society pariah to wife of the future king – but the Palace knows that Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, needs a lot more public support before she becomes queen, and has started to make moves in that direction. Camilla, 74, has become the unlikely recipient of an image makeover with the help of the Palace PR machine, and is even expected to be splashed across the cover of British Vogue next month in celebration of her 75th birthday in July. Meanwhile, sources say there is a “deliberate move to give the Duchess an ‘every-woman image’”. “You can see this emerging already – last week she did an interview with her son Tom, who is a food critic, about what she’s like as a cook, and…

Heartbreakingly, baby Grace Warrior will never get to meet her ‘Crocodile Hunter’ grandfather – but mum Bindi says her 1-year-old daughter is already besotted with him. “We have so many documentaries of Dad, and we’re always playing them for Grace,” Bindi told People magazine. “It’s so fun to watch her study him. I didn’t realise how much Dad’s passion for life and his animated facial expressions … I mean, they captivate her.” Bindi was only 8 when her father Steve Irwin – who rose to international fame with his wildlife documentary TV series The Crocodile Hunter – died on September 4, 2006. The 44-year-old wildlife warrior was diving with stingrays on the Great Barrier Reef for the underwater documentary Ocean’s Deadliest when his life was tragically cut short after he…

As a highly relatable comedian, reality star, radio host, bestselling author and content creator with a huge following on social media, there is no doubt that Hennessy has lots of reasons to flash her pearly whites. But she’s the first to admit that life isn’t always rosy behind the scenes. For over five years, Hennessy and fiancé Tom Poole have struggled to realise their dreams of starting a family. It is a journey that was made even more complicated by the coronavirus pandemic and a shock medical diagnosis. “I have endometriosis quite badly, as it is growing…

When it comes to anti-ageing ingredients, retinol for skin runs laps around its competition. The powerhouse pure derivative of vitamin A, retinol is a dermatologist favourite worldwide, renowned for its impressive abilities to treat acne, fade dark spots, brighten dull skin and prevent wrinkles with unprecedented efficacy. By causing skin cells to turn over and die, retinol for skin is able to boost collagen production, keep pores clear and ensure skin is constantly refreshed and radiant. But, as with many things that offer the world, with great promise comes risk. In fact, the reputation of retinol serums tends to precede it, as it's as widely known for the reactions it tends to trigger as it is for its tremendous results. Despite this, the risk of a temporary period of flakiness,…

Stretching is an essential component of any workout, but it’s also the part many of us forget. Add the fact that we’ve been spending a lot of sedentary time over the past couple of years watching Netflix or hunched over our computers, and it’s little wonder that tight muscles and tech neck have become a side effect of the pandemic that many of us didn’t expect. WHY WE NEED TO DO IT REGULARLY Brad Walker, chief stretch adviser from StretchLab says making stretching a part of your routine can save you from a lot of problems down the track. “Tight, stiff muscles limit normal range of motion. In some cases, a lack of flexibility can be a major contributing factor to muscle and joint pain,” he explains. “Short, tight muscles…

We’ve all been there – perched on the couch at the end of a long day, scrolling through our news feed aimlessly, reading tiny snippets of content that are just enough to keep us engaged. Then, as we keep scrolling, we encounter some bad news. Yet, instead of putting the phone down, we decide we need more, and before we know it, the doom scrolling begins. Though it can be frustrating to catch yourself in this cycle, psychiatrist and Mindful in May founder Dr Elise Bialylew says there’s a good reason we don’t just put down our phones at the sight of news we don’t want to see. “Technology is being created to purposefully trigger the reward centres of our brain,” she explains. “For example, each time we engage with…

Sheldon Riley is living his own “build it and they will come” moment.

Everything I’ve done has been done with Eurovision in mind.” And that he has. He’s long had the support of music mentors Delta Goodrem, Iggy Azalea, Adam Lambert, Boy George and even Simon Cowell, but now he’s ready to go global. “Adam Lambert’s been very supportive of me in my life, and Delta messages me…
