Australian model Miranda Kerr got vulnerable on the Not Alone podcast as she tackled some tough subjects regarding loss. Kerr, who shares one son with ex-husband Orlando Bloom and three with current husband Evan Spiegel, revealed that she suffered a miscarriage before welcoming her youngest child in February 2024. “I was always in my heart of hearts happy regardless of the gender,” she told host Valeria Lipovetsky about being a mother to four boys. “And I also actually had a miscarriage and it was a boy as well. So that was technically my fifth boy. My son now is my fifth boy technically. He’s a rainbow baby and he’s so sweet, but each of them was so different.” Kerr, 41, revealed that she has continued to learn through experience. “With…

All the telltale signs are there – but are Jessica Simpson and her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson, really headed for divorce? According to friends of the 44-year-old singer, yes. The rumour mill went into overdrive this month after both she and Johnson, 45, were seen out and about without their wedding rings. “[It was] not an easy decision for her,” the insider told Us Weekly, adding that it’s an “incredibly difficult time” for her as she embarks on co-parenting her three children with Johnson. Another insider said they’re both “trying to figure out a separation without disrupting their kids’ lives as much as possible”. Simpson, who was previously married to Nick Lachey, and Johnson are yet to make any public announcement, but she did recently share a cryptic…

It wasn’t Carol Clay’s plan to go camping in remote Victoria, but as she excitedly counted down the days until boarding a cruise ship with her sister in March 2020, COVID-19 spread and Australia’s borders shut. Stuck on dry land with an empty week stretching before her, she happily accepted an offer to head out into the bush for a few nights with Russell Hill. That fateful invite from her married lover led to the pair’s disappearance in the Wonnangatta Valley – with the country gripped by the mysterious case, questioning what had really happened to them. “Due to the remoteness, there was really nothing here – it was a total mystery that absolutely captured everyone’s imagination,” Greg Haddrick, who followed the case for his book, In the Dead of…

Sleep deprivation isn’t just reserved for adults – unfortunately it’s also rife among teenagers. One Aussie study found only half of teens aged between 16 and 17 were getting the recommended eight to 10 hours of sleep a night. What does it mean for the wellbeing of our young ones? Not hitting the hay for long enough each night may cause behavioural changes and/or weight gain, lower academic performance, increase risk of accidents and lower the immune system. Here, GP Dr Ginni Mansberg explains the warning signs to watch for and how you can help your teen get better sleep. SEE THE SIGNS This might not be as simple as your teen looking tired, and it may take time to put two and two together. “Sometimes you just need to…

Pop sensation Troye Sivan summed it up perfectly when he collected the big prize at the 2024 ARIA Awards on November 20. “Music is just really, really cool,” the 29-year-old said, after being presented with the award for Album of the Year, his third win of the night. The astute observation came at the end of an open and honest acceptance speech, in which Sivan shared the inspiration behind his third studio album, Something to Give Each Other. “I was going through this break-up …and I met this one guy …and we have this incredible, incredible connection,” he revealed. “It’s super weird, but I write this album basically about this random stranger …Go have a one-night stand with someone – you never know what could happen!” Also making history at…

David Walliams has shared how the weight of his depression during his university years became so “unbearable” that he attempted to end his own life. “I’d known something was wrong from an early age – a feeling of unbearable loneliness I could never escape,” 53-year-old Walliams told The Sunday Times. “Despair loomed over me that first Christmas back from university, and I couldn’t live with it anymore. Mum discovered me lying lifeless on my bed, having taken an overdose.” Seeing the impact his overdose had on his mother, Kathleen, empowered him to seek help. “It broke her heart. She cried for weeks,” he recalled. “I am ashamed I was so selfish to put her through this, but her boundless love got me through.” (If you or someone you know needs…

Women supporting women is something that has been preached in pop culture over recent years. It appears to be the movement of the moment, however Sydney Sweeney isn’t sure it’s happening at all. In a candid interview with Vanity Fair this month, the Euphoria star made it clear she has no time for women with power who “fake” support for others. “This entire industry, all people say is, ‘Women empowering other women.’ None of it’s happening,” she told the publication. “All of it is fake and a front for all the other s--t that they say behind everyone’s back.” Indeed, Sweeney herself was memorably torn down by Father of the Bride producer Carol Baum in April. Baum raised eyebrows when she questioned Sweeney’s success and looks during…

WINNING AN OS CAR FOR ‘THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING’ IN 2015 MAN OF MYSTERY Redmayne cites an unlikely person as the inspiration for the titular assassin in The Day of the Jackal. “There was this brilliant interview with David Bowie from the ’70s,” he told MovieWeb. “It’s one of the rare times you see him being completely him.” In the last decade, the new golden age of television has seen countless Hollywood A-listers being lured from the silver screen, adding serious star power and immeasurable influence to productions. The latest actor making the move to the small screen is Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, who leads the cast of The Day of the Jackal. Adapted from Frederick Forsyth’s novel, this contemporary reimagining of the 1973 film presents a more well-rounded Jackal…

Can you give us a rundown of what Headliners is about? I’m so glad you asked! I got the opportunity to get my friends Tim Rogers and Ella Hooper to put together two bands of people living with disabilities. They’re complete strangers and we had seven weeks to get them ready to perform the Mundi Mundi Bash in front of 15,000 people. We also got a few other special people involved. You’re well-connected, Elly-May! Well, look, when you grow up around music, you grow up around certain types of people. I asked for help from the only people I knew could help and they were musicians. We had a short amount of time, so I could only ask the best!

The seeds for her new page turner were sown in Jacqueline Bublitz’s debut book, Before You Knew My Name. “Inspiration came out of a line in my first novel, ‘It’s never just one life these men destroy,’” the author tells WHO. “Ultimately, the novel grew out of my increasing awareness of the far-reaching impacts of gendered violence and the tragedy of all that we lose when a young woman is taken from us in that way.” In Leave the Girls Behind, Bublitz tells the story of Ruth-Ann, whose childhood friend was murdered. Having long believed the killer and a partner in crime have murdered many more, she sets out to prove it. “As a citizen detective, Ruthie spends a lot of time on true crime forums or searching for records…

In October, Windsor Castle estate was subject to a daring break-in while Prince William and Princess Catherine and their children slept at Adelaide Cottage just five minutes away, according to The Sun. The newspaper reported that two masked men scaled a fence during the night, stealing a pick-up truck and quad bike from a barn on the premises and smashing through a security gate as they made their getaway. “They must have been watching Windsor Castle for a while,”a source told The Sun. “They would have to have known the vehicles were stored there before they broke in and known when was the best time to get [in] and escape without being caught.” King Charles and Queen Camilla were not present at the time of the burglary.…

Wicked has become one of the most hyped movies in recent memory, but Michelle Yeoh required some coaxing to get her to follow the yellow brick road to Oz. When Jon M. Chu, who had directed Yeoh in Crazy Rich Asians, asked her to play Madame Morrible, magic teacher to Ariana Grande’s Glinda and Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba, she hesitated. “I read it right away and I said, ‘But Jon, it’s a musical – she sings, right? Well, you know, I don’t sing,’” Yeoh, 62, told US Today, revealing that an encouraging video message from Erivo and Grande sealed the deal. “How do you say no to two angels, right? If you’re going to have to do it, you better do it with the best.” Yeoh’s career has…

Jess Armstrong had the idea that after chemotherapy she’d be able to walk away from breast cancer, closing the door on a very stressful chapter of her life. But that wasn’t the case. “Cancer is such a life-changing experience,” the mum-of-two, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023, tells WHO. “It stays with you and makes you want to give back to the community.” And for Jess there was an obvious way for her to do that. It stemmed from her experience of skincare during her cancer treatment. “Chemo and radiation can make your skin flare up and become very sensitive,” she explains. “I put things on my face and it would be like fire. I ended up not trusting anything. “And then the things I could use…

Christmas is meant to be the happiest time of the year, but for many, the only gift they’re getting Ci is anxiety. In 2023, the American Psychological Association found that 41 per cent of American adults indicated an increase in stress during the holidays. Considering the pressures of socialising, shopping and increased family time, who can blame them? Follow this guide to dealing with common stressful situations and finding ways to sail through them.

SUPER SOAKER We don’t want a dry eye in the house! It doesn’t get talked about much, but dry eyes is a condition that affects 77 per cent of us, causing itchy, gritty-feeling eyes that don’t reflect the light as well, making them look duller.
