The In Memoriam tribute at the Oscars had an even more sombre tone this year, with acting greats and film fans alike still in shock over the mysterious death of Gene Hackman. We take a look at what police have found so far and how the two-time Academy Award winner spent his final days (page 20) in Santa Fe. The Oscars brought the 2025 awards season to a close with Anora taking out the top prizes. We go behind the scenes at the afterparties as the stars celebrated in style (page 14). Eva Longoria is marking her 50th birthday and is excited about ageing (page 38), while Toni Collette has learnt to listen to life as she talks about her latest project, Mickey 17 (page 34). For a flashback to…

She’s been his rock through many ups and downs, but are exes Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck getting a little too close for comfort? That was the question being asked when the pair were spotted in an embrace during a day out to celebrate son Samuel’s 13th birthday. Playing a game of paintball in Castaic, California, on March 2, Affleck, 52, was snapped wrapping his arm around Garner’s waist and pulling her in for a hug – looking ever so comfortable as he did so. And while the pair have remained friendly since their split in 2015, insiders have revealed that Affleck and Garner “are closer than they’ve ever been since their divorce”. “Particularly since Ben’s divorce from Jennifer [Lopez] and with the LA fires and everything going on,” the…

who’s news Channing Tatum is officially off the market after going public with his new girlfriend, Australian model Inka Williams. The Magic Mike star, 44, and Wiliams, 25, made their debut at the Creative Artists Agency pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles, the evening before Tatum’s ex fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, dined out with The Recruit star Noah Centineo. Williams, who was born in Melbourne before relocating to Bali with her family, is also a designer with her own slow fashion label, She Is I. She’s a romantic as well. In a chat with By Charlotte, the Aussie beauty said that with “so many crazy things constantly happening” in the world, it’s important to focus on love. “Love is everywhere. We won’t make it through life without love,” she mused, adding that…

While some might say that the Oscars can be more predictable than a black tuxedo on a red carpet, this year’s prestigious event was decidedly less so – with a night of snubs, shocks and surprises on March 2. Descending on the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for the annual Academy Awards, stars brought their standard glitz and glamour to the red carpet. But when proceedings kicked off with Ariana Grande’s stirring rendition of ‘Over the Rainbow’, a number of big awards were still uncertain despite it being the last major awards show for the season. There was indeed no clean sweep this year, with the award love being shared between many of the night’s contending films, including Wicked, Dune: Part Two, Conclave and The Substance. Zoe Saldaña ended up…

“I couldn’t handle the cold anymore” After being away for the last couple of years living in the UK and travelling all over Europe with partner Patrick O’Connor, Sophie Dillman has realised there really is nowhere quite as good as home. So the actress has moved back with their cavoodle, Winnie, staying with family in Brisbane temporarily ahead of setting up base in Sydney. “We were so lucky to be able to travel, but I couldn’t handle the cold anymore,” the 31-year-old admits to WHO with a laugh. “Over the last 10 days since our return, I have drowned myself in fresh fruit and salt water, and I feel fantastic.” Of the things she missed most, family, friends and the beach are at the top of the list. But something…

MARY-KATE & ASHLEY OLSEN The Olsen twins were just 6 months old when they landed the shared part of Michelle Tanner in Full House in 1987. By the 2000s, after making almost 20 twin-themed films and TV shows, they put show business to one side to work on their true passion: fashion. Ashley’s last role was in 2004, while Mary-Kate’s was in 2011’s Beastly. “At 18, we decided to go to school and see what the world had to offer, and we started a company together in 2006, and have been in business for almost 20 years,” Ashley, 38, explained to the Financial Times in 2023. Starting out with affordable womenswear line Elizabeth and James, they then turned to high fashion with The Row, keeping their involvement in the latter…

CROWNING GLORY Having spent just over 12 months as King and Queen, royal commentator Trine Villemann believes Queen Margrethe would be breathing a sigh of relief. “There hasn’t been any missteps in that first year,” she told WHO. Clasping hands as they took to the dance floor, Queen Mary and King Frederik couldn’t wipe the smiles off their faces as they led guests in a quadrille at Christiansborg Palace on February 28. Looking resplendent in a blush sequin gown from British designer Jenny Packham, and a glittering tiara from the royal jewel vault, the Queen, 53, was undoubtedly the belle of the ball. However, the dazzling dress’ train proved to be a potential trip hazard. Mary, delighting guests, held up the hem while kicking up her heels as she performed…

Scan to shop or visit seadriftdistillery.com How often have you gone out with friends vowing not to drink and then buckled when someone’s poured the wine? It’s a familiar story and one Carolyn Whiteley, a mum-of-three from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, knows well. “There were plenty of times I’d be out and not want a champers but the other option would be a Coke or yet another lemon, lime and bitters,” she tells WHO. “And if you aren’t drinking, the questions come: ‘Why aren’t you drinking? Are you pregnant?’ It becomes quite intrusive.” It was something at the back of Carolyn’s mind when she and her family moved back to Australia from the UK, where she’d worked in marketing for a global alcoholic beverage company. “Just before we left, Seedlip came…

First it was kale, then matcha – and now, the latest superfood to enter the zeitgeist? Sea moss gel. Bella Hadid’s morning routine includes it, while Hailey Beiber’s Strawberry Glaze Skin Erewhon smoothie also famously heroes the beige jelly. Now on TikTok, users are eating what appears to be slime off the spoon like it’s Nutella – although we can’t imagine it tastes as nice. Why? According to some, sea moss gel can boost your immune system, heal gut health and improve fertility. However, as one jar of sea moss gel can cost $40 for just 375mL in Australia, is it worth it? Read on for our deep dive. WHAT IS SEA MOSS GEL? Sea moss gel is a natural product of a few types of red algae, specifically Irish…

who’s news When Ash Barty got word that she was being immortalised in the form of a Barbie doll to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD), she said her first reaction was disbelief. The cherry on top was that her dear friend and mentor Evonne Goolagong Cawley was being honoured with one, too. The Australian tennis legends – along with their Barbies – symbolise the power of friendship this IWD. “Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would be a Barbie myself. I think it’s just such an incredible experience to be a part of,” Barty said, while Goolagong Cawley, 73, gushed, “It’s just absolutely amazing. I just love it; I can’t believe it’s happened.” The pair are two of the eight women being celebrated with their…

Kourtney Kardashian has squashed the latest bizarre conspiracy that her 15-yearold son, Mason Disick, has secretly fathered a child. The rumours blew up after posts on what was said to be Disick’s secret Instagram account told followers he had a 1-year-old daughter named Piper. The mother of the child was said to be a girl in his art class. “This is about my child and it feels wrong to let anyone think for a second that these lies are remotely true,” Kardashian, 45, wrote on Instagram. “Mason does not have a child …These accounts that pretend to be him are definitely not. They are fake.” She reminded people making these videos that he is just a kid who “really values his privacy”.…

After months of speculation, Georgia Love and Lee Elliott have announced they have made the “incredibly difficult” decision to end their nine-year love story. Fans of The Bachelorette thought it was forever when the couple met on the reality TV dating show in 2016 and married in 2021. But at the end of 2024, Love, 35, was seen without her wedding ring. She and plumber Elliott, 43, were also both absent from each other’s social media accounts. Love has insisted, however, that “there is no drama, no bad blood” in a post on Instagram, adding that it’s a case of “two people who have grown in different directions while still holding deep respect and care for each other”. She added that she and Elliott “remain friends” who will now “navigate…

“I never wanted to be anything but an actor” DAD ISSUES “I couldn’t always be home with them when they were growing up,” Hackman told The Irish Independent in 2000 of his three kids with first wife Maltese. “They’ve had my success always hanging over their heads.” On the afternoon of February 26, a caretaker made a grim discovery after arriving at a gated community in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to carry out routine maintenance work on the Southwestern-style ranch home of acting legend Gene Hackman and his wife, concert pianist Betsy Arakawa. “I think we just found two or one deceased person inside the house,” he said on a call to 911. “A female and a male, probably …I don’t know, sir, just send somebody up here quick.” What…

Brian Austin Green MODERN FAMILY When Green says he and Burgess have their hands full, he really means it. In addition to Zane, professional dancer Burgess, 39, is a stepmum to four and hosts gettogethers for the whole family, including Green’s kids with Fox and his oldest son, Kassius, 22, who he shares with Vanessa Marcil. Sitting outside at a beachside cafe in Bondi with four of his kids as they enjoy an ice cream on a hot day, Brian Austin Green could be mistaken for any doting dad enjoying a family day out. In fact, the group goes completely undisturbed as the other patrons fail to recognise the star of hit shows including Beverly Hills, 90210, Desperate Housewives and Anger Management. FRIENDS FOREVER The cast of Beverly Hills, 90210…

For Annie Aitken, this year is already gearing up to be one of her busiest yet. The Australian performer is starring as Cunégonde in Opera Australia’s 2025 season of Candide, a run that will end on March 14. A week later, she will begin starring opposite Cody Simpson in Guys & Dolls on Sydney Harbour. It’s a work schedule that sounds gruelling for anyone, but in the case of Aitken, it also marks her return to the stage after welcoming twins in late 2023. “It changes everything,” she tells WHO of motherhood. “Your whole life changes from being about yourself and putting your needs first to putting your babies’ needs first. It’s wonderful, but provides its own challenges.” After taking a break from her career and relocating to Perth as…

who’s news MADE FOR IT Performing in sold-out arenas isn’t an easy feat, unless you’re Eilish. But it’s not something the singer takes for granted. “It’s one of the greatest feelings in the world”, she told Today. “This is the most out-of-theordinary thing ever.” It’s been a wildly successful ride for American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish and her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour, which landed in Australia last month. After sell-out shows in Brisbane and Sydney, which have garnered rave, five-star reviews, the nine-time Grammy Award winner was spotted taking some well-deserved downtime at a Sydney park. The ‘Birds of a Feather’ singer, who wore a T-shirt featuring queer icon Siouxsie Sioux, was seen taking photos with her friends, playing frisbee and chilling out in the sun. Eilish has not…

There’s been a lot of talk about Millie Bobby Brown’s new look of late – but the Stranger Things star is not having it. The 21-year-old took to Instagram on March 3 to slam critics who “are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices” as “disturbing”. “I started in this industry when I was 10 years old. I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow with me,” she said. “Instead, they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did on Stranger Things Season 1.” Brown called out the commentary as “bullying”, and said she “will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress or how I…

Brittany Higgins has announced the birth of her first child with her husband, David Sharaz, in a sweet social media post on March 2. “Last night we welcomed our little boy into the world,” Higgins, 30, said on Instagram, sharing a photo of the little bundle in his hospital crib. “A huge thank you to the amazing midwives, nurses and doctors for their care and kindness,” she added. “We’re both looking forward to getting to dote on the newest member of the family – forever grateful for all the love and support we’ve received.” The former Liberal staffer did not show her son’s face or reveal his name. Last month, a man was sentenced to more than three years in jail for using social media to threaten to kill the…

Gearing up to blow out 50 candles on March 15, Eva Longoria is tackling getting older with the same gusto that has helped her become a successful Hollywood power player. “I’m cold-plunging, I’ve got red lights on, I strength train with weights, I meditate, I’m journalling,” she told Marie Claire of her healthy, life-affirming daily routine. “I wake up with the sun, I’m doing the grounding, I have an Oura ring to track deep sleep, I’m taking magnesium and other supplements – I’m doing everything. Not because I don’t want to age but because I do want to age.” Far from feeling defeated by time, the star says she’s bursting with optimism. “For me, age is just a number, but I’m excited,” she continued. “I refuse to believe my greatest…

FRIENDS Ever had your partner tell you that you’re acting like their mother? If so, you’re likely guilty of a little thing called mankeeping. We know women are often the glue that keeps a family together. Per a 2023 review in Sex Roles, both men and women largely feel that kinkeeping – the act of maintaining social and family connections – is primarily a woman’s role. And now it seems that mankeeping – the emotional and social labour female partners do to support their male partners – is another role that women are filling. So what exactly is it? And how can women put an end to the extra labour? WHAT EXACTLY IS MANKEEPING? Stanford researchers coined the term mankeeping to reflect the excessive emotional support women provide their male…

When WHO visited Faye Marsay and Michelle Keegan on the set of Ten Pound Poms in Sydney’s Hawkesbury region, the actresses were dolled up in the finest Paris-inspired fashions from the ’50s as they prepared to film a party scene. “There is just something about the dresses from that era that completely transform you into a different person,” says Keegan, 37, who is married to The One Way Is Essex star Mark Wright. “As soon as you slip them on, they instantly change your posture and make you sit up straight.” Having had roles in Game of Thrones and the Plantagenet drama series The White Queen, Marsay is no stranger to slipping into historical garb. “I’m not very fashionable in real life,” the 38-year-old says with a laugh. “But I…
