Some people are so famous that, when seen in public, it’s as if their Madame Tussaud’s wax figure has suddenly sprung to life. I was lucky enough to score an invite to the Australian premiere of Tom Cruise’s latest flick Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One on July 3 – his 61st birthday – and to witness the star working the adoring crowd and flashing that megawatt grin was quite surreal. His charisma is next-level. Check out all the fun pics from the very star-studded event from page 6. The other big movie on our radar here in the WHO office is Margot Robbie’s upcoming Barbie (in cinemas July 20). In our bright-pink report, starting on page 16, we take a look at how the Aussie star juggles…

who’s news As Sex and the City’s big spender Carrie Bradshaw famously said, “Shopping is my cardio”. And if that’s the case, Eva Longoria sure got in a good workout on July 2 as she sweated it out while hitting the local shops in Spain. The Desperate Housewives star, 48, and her businessman husband José Bastón, 55, appeared to enjoy a lavish spree as the pair picked up furniture and bits and pieces for their brand-new home in the sun-drenched resort city of Marbella. With no arguments over who liked what, the actress enjoyed the trip so much that she couldn’t resist laying one on her man as they browsed. This little slice of the good life is about to become the new norm for the pair, who have recently…

Madonna is set to dramatically scale back her six-month world tour after a shock health scare left her in intensive care. The 64-year-old was just weeks away from kicking off her The Celebration Tour when she was found unresponsive in her New York apartment, with a serious bacterial infection seeing the singer intubated and put on a ventilator. The Queen of Pop had reportedly been putting in punishing 12-hour days rehearsing for her highly anticipated shows and was said to have also been in the studio recording with Katy Perry just hours before she collapsed. “Madonna has been working around the clock to make sure both her music and her world tour are second to none,” a source told The Sun. “Obviously everything has been put on hold now but…

Celebrity Could there be anything better than jetting off on a sun-soaked holiday in Greece right about now? Er, perhaps being joined on the vacay by the three handsome Hemsworth brothers and their good mate Matt Damon! Chris, Liam and Luke got their European summer off to an epic start by renting out a house on the party island of Mykonos and inviting their A-list pal, Matt, to join them. Kicking back in baseball caps, shorts and T-shirts, the famous group have blended in with tourists as they’ve shopped, relaxed by the beach and headed out for a bite at a local Greek restaurant with their partners. Chris and Matt have been friends for over a decade, with the families holidaying all over the world together in celeb-friendly locations like…

Turn on almost any streaming service these days, and there’s a long list of crime shows to choose from. From real-life dramatisations like Dahmer to documentaries including The Staircase, these programs entertain, shock and terrify the audience. But sometimes crime shows can do so much more than simply distract or alarm the viewer – as was the case with Kayla Unbehaun. The missing school girl has recently been reunited with her father Ryan Iskerka, six years after she vanished without a trace, all thanks to a tip off police received after her story was aired by streaming giant Netflix. Kayla was just 9 when her dad, who had full custody of her, dropped her off for a visit with her mother, Heather Unbehaun, over the July 4 Independence Day long…

Some days just starting a workout feels hard enough, let alone following through with recovery. However, exercise experts explain that if you don’t spend time recovering after physical activity, you might not be getting the best value out of your session. Essentially, recovery helps you get great results from your exercise, and preps you for an even better session next time – which helps you stay on track with your fitness goals. Recovery is also an important way to aid you in strengthening your muscles. “When we exercise, our body produces lactic acid, which builds up in the muscles, causing muscle fatigue,” says accredited exercise physiologist Amy Harding. “The benefits of recovery include allowing the body to adapt to the exercise, increasing flexibility, being able to increase intensity and duration…

who’s news Prince George and his father have bonded over their mutual love of rugby, soccer and tennis, and now they’re adding cricket into the mix, too. The pair appeared to be having a ball when Prince William treated his eldest boy to a day out at Lord’s to watch day four of the second Ashes test on July 1. William, 41, and his 9-year-old son rubbed shoulders with actor and comedian Stephen Fry and British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, in the royal box before tucking into some pizza. Judging by the smile on George’s face, nothing could rain on his parade, not even seeing the Australian team give the locals a thrashing. “[Prince William] has a strong father-son bond with Prince George,” royal expert Ingrid Seward tells British newspaper…

When it comes to Brad Pitt there’s no such thing as “then and now” photos. The 59-year-old actor appears to have barely aged a day during his 30-year Hollywood career as he filmed a commercial for an Italian appliance brand De’Longhi in France on July 2. His youthful visage has drawn comparisons to Pitt’s 2008 role in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. In the film, the actor plays a man who is ageing in reverse. “He [Brad] appears to have subtly invested in various ‘tweakments’ to retain his youthful appearance,” cosmetics specialist Laura Kay speculated to the Daily Mail. She added this could have included Botox and peels. It’s working for him!…

In news that has shaken the Bravo universe, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ notoriously loved-up couple Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have reportedly separated after 27 years of marriage. “Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while now but are still living under the same roof,” a source told People. “They remain amicable as they figure out what’s next.” Richards, 54, and Umansky, 53, married in 1996 and share three daughters, as well as the reality star’s daughter from her first marriage. The pair’s relationship has been a staple on RHOBH since the cameras started rolling in 2010. However, the status of their marriage has been called into question in recent weeks, with Richards releasing a statement to deny divorce rumours but admitting that they “have had a…

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend officially have a full house, after welcoming their fourth child via surrogate. The couple announced the arrival of their son, Wren Alexander Stephens, on social media – just five months after the cookbook author gave birth to daughter Esti. The newborn’s name is a touching tribute to their surrogate, Alexandra, who Teigen revealed has become part of their family. In a lengthy Instagram post, the 37-year-old opened up about their journey to have their longed-for four children, with the couple starting the surrogacy process a year after losing their son Jack in September 2020 midway through the pregnancy. “After losing Jack, I didn’t think I’d be able to carry any more babies on my own,” Teigen shared in the post. “In 2021, we reached out…

Not many stars are happy sharing personal details about their life, so it’s something of a surprise when the usually private Abbie Cornish candidly sets the record straight on her relationship status. “I’m single at the moment,” she confirms to WHO. “I live a pretty quiet private life.” Engaged to MMA fighter Adel Altamimi in 2019, Cornish is now on her own by choice and says she couldn’t be happier as she embraces her forties. “I definitely have, just as a woman, been really happy turning 40,” Cornish says over Zoom from her home in Los Angeles. “I’ve probably felt the best I’ve ever felt in my life and in many different ways: mentally, physically, spiritually. It’s across the board and it was something I didn’t see coming. I’ve really,…

Celebrity Before Season 1 of the Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That… premiered in December 2021, John Corbett caused a stir by joking that he would be returning in his role as Aidan Shaw, the controversial on-again-off-again love interest for Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker). “It was fun. It was fun for him to say that,” Parker, 58, defended him on Watch What Happens Live in February last year. “He actually reached out, very kindly, because he’s nothing if not a gentleman, and apologised for doing that as a joke, and then I was like, ‘No, no, no, it’s a free country first of all.’ And second of all, I thought it was kind of delightful and fun.” What started as a prank for Corbett…

In the whirlwind four months since Locky and Irena Gilbert tied the knot, the couple have experienced some amazing highs. The pair, who met while filming the 2020 season of The Bachelor, tied the knot during a surprise ceremony in Melbourne in March, before jetting straight off to Fiji for their romantic honeymoon. “You know Locky, he’s always on the move so we went snorkelling, hiking and out on a catamaran,” Irena tells WHO with a laugh. “But there was also lots of laying around by the pool just relaxing too. It was blissful.” Upon returning to Perth, the nurse and adventure guide, both 33, were eager to get on with the next chapter of their lives. This included finishing the renovations on the home they purchased together in May…

When Taylor Swift and Harry Styles both released their latest albums, fans with long memories got a blast from the past. Along with all the usual formats was one that many never expected to see again – the classic cassette. From cameras, to vinyl records and landline phones, analogue is back. “Analogue products offer a sense of nostalgia,” explains clinical psychologist Jaimie Bloch, who says it’s no coincidence that people are re-embracing tactile gadgets and hobbies. These old-style gadgets offer a tangible alternative to our increasingly two-dimensional digital world. “The beauty of having analogue products as part of a hobby, such as film cameras, lies within the process linked to developing that film,” she adds. It’s also part of a wider trend, as people of all ages embrace old-fashioned hobbies.…

who’s news With the Sydney premiere for the latest instalment of the Mission: Impossible film franchise falling on Tom Cruise’s 61st birthday, you’d think the actor would have a pretty good excuse to get out of his promotional duties. However, his label as one of the hardest working men in Hollywood proved true, with the star not missing a beat as he stepped out on the red carpet for Dead Reckoning Part One on July 3. Joined by co-stars Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff and Simon Pegg, the actor gave interviews, signed autographs and posed for snaps before making his way inside. It was there, on stage, where Cruise was presented with a cake to mark the occasion. As Aussie celebs and fans alike watched Cruise in the seventh Mission: Impossible…

After attending the premiere of her new film In the Fire on June 24 at the 69th annual Taormina Film Festival in Italy, Amber Heard broke her six-month social media silence. “Thank you for such an incredibly warm reception,” she captioned a photo from the prestigious event. “It was an unforgettable weekend.” She also shared a snap of her car surrounded by onlookers. “What a reception,” she wrote. “Thank you to my fans and supporters. I am so touched.” Heard’s last social media post was a long statement in December 2022, revealing she had made the “very difficult decision” to pay her ex-husband $1.5 million in a settlement following their drawn-out defamation trial that ended in June 2022 during which a disturbing picture emerged of their violent marriage. “I have…

Real life Holly Scott was travelling on a road she’d been down countless times before when her world changed in an instant. She crashed into a tree after swerving to miss a kangaroo in the Adelaide Hills, leaving her with injuries so catastrophic that she was lucky to be alive. The incident put her on a trajectory that has seen her spread an important road safety message to thousands across Australia since, undoubtedly saving many lives as a result. Holly wants people to know it’s not just the tragic number of lives lost on the roads we need to pay attention to, but the even larger statistic of those who sustain serious injuries. “Just because [someone] survived doesn’t mean they are OK, they most likely have lifelong injuries. For me,…

WELLNESS When it comes to the game of life, it’s all too easy to be envious of others. There will always be someone who has more or has done more. But what if, instead of falling into this trap, you turned jealousy into inspiration and a way to encourage yourself when things feel tough? Author Domonique Bertolucci shares the difference between doing your best and needing to be the best, and why your goals aren’t the only path to success. DON’T COMPETE The very first thing I want you to do, to focus on being your best, is to stop competing – or at least stop competing against anyone and everyone else. There are, of course, exceptions to this. But even if you are an Olympic athlete or engaged in…
