Inhoudsopgave van April 27, 2026 - Hello! Canada

I’m sure I am not the only one who remembers precisely where they were and what they were doing when news of Queen Elizabeth’s death broke on Sept. 8, 2022. I was getting ready to attend Hello! Canada’s TIFF party – the first in six years – finding myself sitting on the floor in my fancy gown, feverishly editing our issue to be sure we honoured the Queen in the best way possible. Thankfully, we still have so many reasons to celebrate her legacy. April 21 heralds a major milestone: what would have been her 100th birthday. Our special centenary feature looks back on a life of extraordinary duty and humanity. In Britain, the date is being marked with royal tributes. King Charles and Queen Camilla will lead commemorations, including…

Just what the doctor ordered! Noah Wyle was surrounded by his loving family as he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in his hometown of Los Angeles. “I have history up and down this street like nowhere else on Earth,” he told the audience, which included his parents, sister Alex, wife Sara and three children: Owen, 23, Auden, 20, and 10-year-old Frances. “Becoming part of that history is a true childhood dream come true.” The actor, 54, was recognized for his decades of work in television, including his breakout role in the 1990s as compassionate Dr. John Carter in the award-winning medical drama ER (for which he received five Emmy nominations over his 11-season run) and his latest turn as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch in The Pitt…

She was renowned for her devotion to duty and fondness for her family, horses and dogs. Fashion, in the popular imagination, did not feature prominently in Queen Elizabeth II’s list of personal priorities. But that perception is precisely what Caroline de Guitaut is setting out to challenge. Alongside her role as surveyor of King Charles’s works of art, she has curated Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style – the most extensive exhibition of the late monarch’s wardrobe ever assembled – for The King’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace. Drawing from an archive of roughly 4,000 garments – spanning from childhood to her final years – Caroline reveals a woman far more engaged with sartorial taste than many assumed. “One of the things that was written about the Queen in the…

MATTHEW PERRY ‘Ketamine queen’ jailed over his death Three years after Matthew Perry’s passing, Jasveen Sangha, 42 – who pleaded guilty to five charges, including distribution of the ketamine that resulted in his fatal overdose at age 54 – was sentenced to 15 years. “I pray for forgiveness,” she said in court. Following the decision, the actor’s stepdad, Canadian journalist Keith Morrison, 78, spoke out: “We miss Matthew dreadfully … and I feel badly for the perpetrator here as well. Nobody won today.” JEREMY HANSEN Double celebration for Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen – who just made history for being the first Canadian to orbit the moon as one of four astronauts aboard Artemis II – marked a personal milestone, too. On his return from space, the dad of three took…

The power of storytelling has never been lost on Drew Scott – or his twin, Jonathan. Together, as the Property Brothers, they’ve fronted myriad home-renovation shows, so often anchored by the heartfelt narratives of their clients. Now, the Vancouver-born celebrity real estate agent and his sibling are stepping into an even more emotionally driven chapter with Property Brothers: Under Pressure, a series that balances their classic banter and design expertise with stories grounded in renewal and growth. Set against the backdrop of an increasingly challenging housing market in Los Angeles, the new show follows the duo as they work with prospective homeowners facing high stakes and deeply personal circumstances – including trying to rebuild their lives after their homes were destroyed in last year’s devastating blazes. “There’s an amazing family…

GROWING GREEN A number of celebrities are trading red-carpet couture for sensible gardening gloves. Martha Stewart has long set the standard with meticulously tended grounds at her estate in Bedford, N.Y., while Oprah Winfrey harvests homegrown produce from her Maui property. Pamela Anderson leans into aor slower, more sustainable lifestyle rooted in homegrown food. And Jennifer Garner brings her signahometure charm to planting and picking at her organic plot. Beyond the esthetic, gardening offers a deeper connection to what we consume. It reduces the distance food is transported, encourages seasonal eating and fosters a more mindful relationship with the planet. THE SHIFT IN SHINE Fine jewelry is getting an earth-friendly update, with brands rethinking everything from sourcing to production, coast to coast. Vancouver-based Poppy Finch sets the tone with recycled…

Just a few years ago, Kashus Culpepper had never played guitar, written a song or performed in front of a live audience. Now, with the release of his debut album, Act I, in January and appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Kelly Clarkson Show, he has scads of tour dates ahead of him. Not bad for a guy who says this was never the plan. “I would always listen to music when I was young,” he says. “That was my peace. If anything traumatic ever happened, I would turn to [it]. And then, in 2020, I was deployed [with the U.S. navy] to Spain. It was the pandemic and they shut everything down, so I turned to music, like I always do. And, luckily, I found a guitar there.”…

Nicky Hilton Rothschild can trace her love of fashion all the way back to childhood. “I remember being seven or eight,” she recalls, “and I would watch my mom in her closet getting ready for the night. I just loved sitting there and watching the whole process – the picking of the outfit, then the jewelry and shoes, and watching her apply makeup. I loved dressing up, loved beautiful things – I loved all of it.” The socialite-turned-designer, 42, is referring to Kathy Hilton, matriarch of the famous Hilton family and mother to Nicky, her older sister, Paris, and younger brothers, Barron and Conrad. According to Nicky, it was a “no-brainer” to include her mom in the latest campaign for her jewelry brand Theo Grace – the Made to Treasure…

Royal fans were treated to sweet new glimpses of the Sussex siblings as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet starred in a series of playful outdoor videos, offering a rare and intimate look at their home life in Montecito, Calif. Shared with a festive “Happy Easter!” message by proud mom Meghan, the clips capture the spirit of the holiday in their backyard. The duchess, 44, is seen embracing the season’s simple pleasures – feeding chickens and gathering fresh eggs – before the focus turns to her children’s joyful traditions. Brother and sister run across the grass side by side, baskets in tow, as they set off in search of hidden Easter treats, their laughter and energy filling the sun-drenched garden. Archie, 6, later settles in to decorate eggs, fully absorbed in…

‘SHE LOVED BEING QUEEN. SHE WAS VERY HAPPY’Royal biographer Robert Hardman Acentury after her birth, Queen Elizabeth II remains not just a monarch but a global constant – an enduring symbol of composure, continuity and inner strength. April 21 would have marked her 100th birthday – a milestone befitting a woman whose reign spanned wars, scandals, sweeping social change and the transformation of an empire into the modern Commonwealth. For 70 years, she was a reassuring presence in an uncertain world. Now, with two major new biographies by Hugo Vickers and Robert Hardman offering fresh insight, an even more intimate portrait is emerging. Beyond the carefully calibrated public image lies a woman of sharp wit, deep feeling and steely pragmatism – one who navigated not only the demands of the…

TAURUS APRIL 21 - MAY 21 No one consistently operates at peak performance. Energy shifts. Moods fluctuate. Certain places – not to mention people – bring out your best, while others test your patience. That’s human. This week, though, as your ruler links harmoniously with generous Jupiter, supportive interactions outweigh awkward ones. Conversations will flow more easily, and goodwill will be reciprocal. If you just respond to what feels constructive, doors will open naturally and progress will feel both smoother and more satisfying. GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 22 You’ve got a plan. The problem is that other people aren’t as enthusiastic about it as you. Do they know something you don’t? No! This week, as your ruler links with innovative Uranus before heading into fiery Aries, a fresh perspective…

What if your makeup was made from ingredients good enough to eat and barely left a footprint? It’s a question that Susanne Langmuir has been answering for more than two decades, first with Bite Beauty and now with her newly launched Lixr Beauty, a waterless, sustainably packaged line that proves performance and purpose don’t have to be at odds. How long did it take to develop the brand? At least four years. The first two were spent trying to reimagine [the complexion category] as waterless. I wanted it to be made entirely with ingredients that benefit – and look like – skin. Then I opened the Lixr Apothecary [in Toronto], where, for two years, I had the benefit of customizing formulas and watching people try them on in real time.…

Believe it or not, Meryl Streep didn’t map out her journey in Hollywood. “I have never made a plan, never strategized,” says the legendary actress, 76, who’s found one success after another since she made her big-screen debut in 1977’s Julia. Instead, “I try to live in the now and take the interesting things that come along.” Clearly, the three-time Oscar winner has good instincts. One of the “interesting things” that captured her imagination? The Devil Wears Prada, the hit 2006 comedy-drama that saw her step into the role of formidable fashion-world boss Miranda Priestly. Nearly two decades on, Meryl is happily reprising her scene-stealing part, alongside Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt. The script is “fantastic,” she says, teasing the sequel. “It’s so funny, with something very serious…

As she approaches her 68th birthday, Michelle Pfeiffer is the first to admit that she didn’t expect to have such a thriving career at this age. Nor would she have undertaken such a workload if she’d known sooner that she was going to be a grandmother! As an actress who took a risk by stepping away from her career for long periods of time to focus on raising a family – daughter Claudia Rose, 33, and son John Henry, 31 – the now-empty nester is happy to find that she’s still in demand. Her leading roles in the Paramount+ drama The Madison and Apple TV’s comedy series Margo’s Got Money Troubles is proof of that. But while Michelle was ready for a jam-packed calendar, her daughter had plans of her…

HOGGING THE SPOTLIGHT Kim Kardashian cuddles up to Tokyo’s tiniest stars Touching down in Japan’s capital on a family getaway with sister Khloé and their children, Kim Kardashian, 45, swapped sightseeing for snuggles at one of Tokyo’s famous micro-pig cafés. While rumours swirled around her romance with Formula One driver Sir Lewis Hamilton (he was in the city for a race), the reality-TV star and mom of four appeared otherwise engaged, quickly falling for some photogenic new friends – and the feeling was clearly mutual! Within moments of Kim’s arrival, a handful of tiny pigs had clambered onto her lap, nuzzling and nestling against one another in search of warmth as she captured the moment on-camera. The Mipig experience allows visitors to relax alongside the affectionate animals in a laid-back,…

In February 1981, the feverish speculation was over. The palace announced the engagement of Charles and Diana. The Queen immediately invited her future daughter-in-law to move into Buckingham Palace to prepare for the wedding and offer her some respite from the press camped out on the doorstep of her London flat. The monarch was naturally delighted by the engagement but determined not to be an interfering mother-in-law. She had also assumed, naively perhaps, that a girl who knew her way around Sandringham and Balmoral could simply slot into court life. While Prince Charles stuck to a longplanned series of engagements all over the world, Diana was left in the hands of a few well-meaning but much older and mainly male members of the royal household to find her way around.…

Leave it to Goop’s founder to show up for awards season looking as though she just stepped out of a Nordic spa – somehow making minimalism feel like the most radical statement of the moment. At the Actor Awards, Gwyneth, 53, proved that clean beauty doesn’t have to whisper. Hairstylist Lorenzo Martin swept the Marty Supreme star’s blond tresses back into an undone low bun that felt polished without trying too hard. Makeup artist Samantha Lau kept the mother of two’s skin dewy and luminous with soft-focus radiance and barely there definition – a masterclass in the less-is-more philosophy that Gwyneth has used to build her empire. The turquoise drop earrings did the heavy lifting accessory-wise, adding a sun-goddess energy that felt just right.…
